Technology company, I will become the light of China!

October 10rd, Frost Descent.

Frost Descent is the eighteenth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms. It falls on October 10 or October 23 of the Gregorian calendar every year. It is the last solar term in autumn. Its arrival also means that the winter period is about to begin.

Imperial capital, Bird's Nest Stadium.

After half a month of workers working in shifts day and night to renovate the stadium, the Bird's Nest Stadium is now full of Longxing Group's "elements".

For example, at the ticket office, in addition to Chen Xing’s three-dimensional license plate for taking photos, the words “Far Ahead” are also posted on the outer wall of the ticket hall.

Not only that, the "far ahead" can be seen everywhere at the several entrances of the Bird's Nest and the viewing seats inside the venue.

The first feeling when entering the Bird's Nest is the endless "far ahead", as if there is a voice shouting:
"Far ahead!"

"Far ahead!"

“We are far ahead of our peers!”

"We are so far ahead, we are always ahead!"

The person who directed the layout of the Bird's Nest was none other than Chen Xing himself.

Because the previous products were so "far ahead", these four words have been engraved in the DNA of every fan. Whenever they are mentioned, they will definitely think of Longxing Group and Chen Xing.

"Longxing Annual Technology Exhibition" is a major press conference that Chen Xing has been preparing for nearly a year, and he has to control every detail.

For the previous Longxing Annual Meeting, he chose the Shanshui Base as the venue, a one-to-one replica of the "fake Bird's Nest".

But this time, he chose a real bird's nest!

Why did you travel thousands of miles to the capital to choose the Bird's Nest Stadium?
Very simple.

The Bird's Nest represents the culture of the Dragon Kingdom going abroad.

Before the 2008 Imperial Capital Olympics, the world's awareness of the Dragon Country was extremely low.

How low is it?
Let’s put it this way, even though today, Longguo has achieved the point of maintaining the third place and striving for the first place in the military, economy, and technology fields, there are still many foreigners who think that Longguo is still wearing braids and living a life of hunger and hunger.

It is conceivable how ignorant the world was about the Dragon Country before the 2008 Imperial Capital Olympics.

It was also the Olympic Games that gradually made Longguo famous in the international arena, with more and more foreigners coming to travel and consume.

At first, many people did not understand why the country spent 400 billion US dollars to bid for the Olympic Games. Now looking back, the country’s strategic vision is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Because the 400 billion not only enhanced the country's reputation and promoted its culture, but also brought in a steady stream of foreign tourists and increased international trade orders. It was after 2008 that the country's economy began to soar.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a successful investment case that can be recorded in the history of Longguo in the past decade.

Don't talk about what's far, just talk about what's near.

Chen Xing booked the Bird's Nest for a month and spent 1 million Dragon RMB in venue fees, which is equivalent to 300 million per day.

This is just the venue fee. There are also miscellaneous costs such as venue layout costs, material costs, worker costs, personnel training, etc. A rough estimate shows that Chen Xing has spent nearly 1.3 million yuan for this press conference.

The continuous profits have made the Bird's Nest Stadium earn back its investment long ago.

It is worth mentioning that when Wang Fang learned that Chen Xing planned to rent the Bird's Nest to hold the press conference, she immediately contacted the general manager of the Bird's Nest Stadium and asked them to waive the cost of renting the venue for Chen Xing and provide necessary support and assistance for the press conference within their capabilities to ensure that it could end smoothly.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have agreed to it directly. After all, just by showing his face, he could save almost a small amount of money.

But Chen Xing is the CEO of a trillion-dollar group after all. Compared to a small goal, he cares more about debts of favor, which cannot be measured by money, and he must be cautious when owing them.

Before the renovation of the Bird's Nest was completed, it attracted a group of anchors who stood outside the Bird's Nest and introduced the venue details of the "Longxing Annual Science and Technology Exhibition". Now that it has been completed, there are no less than a hundred anchors who have come to broadcast the details live, covering all platforms.

Lin Xiaolong, the gadget geek and the live broadcast face of digital product track at Bilibili, arrived in the capital early. After hearing that the Bird's Nest was open to the public, he immediately took a taxi to the Bird's Nest and started the live broadcast room.

"Brothers, we have arrived at the Bird's Nest. Now we can see that there are elements of Longxing Group in such a large area outside the Bird's Nest, such as the "Yuyao Leading" that can be seen everywhere, and the life-size sign of Mr. Chen next to me. We can take a group photo and check in."

Lin Xiaolong turned around on the spot and showed the general situation to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Fuck, that one is so huge, and there's a life-size stand of CEO Chen, and there's a promotional poster. It feels like the Bird's Nest has taken on the shape of the Longxing Group!"

"I also wanted to go to the capital, but unfortunately I didn't get a ticket for the press conference."

"Eighty thousand tickets were gone in the blink of an eye. If you didn't know, you would think it was a celebrity concert. Tickets for this press conference are so hard to get."

"With so many leading companies ahead of the curve, I wonder what big move Mr. Chen has in mind, whether flying cars will make their debut."

Watching the comments floating by, Lin Xiaolong glanced at the ticket office of the Bird's Nest and said, "Since we're here, buy a ticket and go in for a look. There may be a lot of details to dig deeper into."

Just do it.

He immediately came to the ticket office of the Bird's Nest.

As soon as he approached, before he could speak, the sharp-eyed staff immediately looked up and asked, "Handsome guy, do you want to buy a ticket?"

"how much is it?"

"50 yuan, the ticket expires today, it is not a ticket for the Longxing Group press conference, please be aware of this in advance."

"Then take one."

Lin Xiaolong took out his non-live streaming mobile phone, scanned the payment QR code on the table, and then paid 50 yuan.

[Alipay received, 50 yuan.]
After hearing the voice announcement, the staff immediately handed over a ticket and reminded: "There are a lot of surveillance cameras installed inside the Bird's Nest. Please pay attention to your personal behavior to avoid unnecessary disputes."

"Row."

Lin Xiaolong took the ticket and followed the instructions to the ticket gate of the Bird's Nest.

He was not in a hurry to check the tickets, but introduced to the audience in his live broadcast room: "This is one of the entrances to the Bird's Nest. Let's look up. Just now, we saw a small hanging sign of "Far Ahead" from a distance. Now it is so big that you can't believe it. And all the way here, it seems as if Mr. Chen is shouting "Far Ahead" in my ear."

"Hahaha, far ahead!"

"Far Ahead is really too brainwashing, especially the words "Far Ahead" can be seen everywhere in the Bird's Nest. It's as if Mr. Chen is shouting in my ear."

"Go in and take a look, Brother Long."

Lin Xiaolong did not stop and after answering a few questions from the audience in the live broadcast room, he handed the ticket to the staff.

The staff member took the ticket and scanned the barcode on the ticket with the barcode scanner in his hand. When he heard a beep, he handed the ticket back and reminded: "There are a lot of surveillance cameras inside the Bird's Nest. Please pay attention to your personal behavior and avoid unnecessary disputes."

"Ok."

Lin Xiaolong didn't care.

When he actually walked into the Bird's Nest, he was suddenly stunned before he had walked for half a minute, because the Golden Hall was also full of elements of Longxing Group, or its development history.

For example, in 2014, Chen Xing released photos of the Longxing X1 press conference, as well as photos of the Brilliant X1 press conference, Geek X1 press conference, and Tianyu X1 press conference...

In addition to the photos of the journey that can be seen everywhere, the Golden Hall also has many exhibitions, such as the world's first 120W Star Flash fast charging.

The world's first general-purpose open-air baseband chip.

The world's first foldable screen mobile phone.

The world's first chip factory conceptual model.

Each technological product on display has its own area and is protected by tempered glass. The embedded screen behind them also states their detailed R&D experience, the difficulties they encountered, and their impact on the world.

For example, the advent of 120W Star Flash fast charging requires solving the problems of metal contacts, power regulation chips and current and voltage.

To solve the metal contact problem, the industry standard must be overturned because the traditional mini-B interface only has 5 metal contacts, while the more advanced type-C interface has 24.

For example, if a 100-ton truck needs to be refueled, is it faster to refuel at one refueling port or at both refueling ports at the same time?

It goes without saying that refueling with two refueling ports together is definitely faster than with just one.

But it takes great courage to overturn the industry's previous standards.

This is similar to when you were in school and the teacher might get a question wrong, and even if you knew he was wrong, you still needed to be mentally prepared and muster up the courage to stand up and correct him.

Because you are not sure whether correcting him will offend the teacher. After all, the teacher is the authority in the class. If you directly tell him that he is wrong, some teachers who are more concerned about their reputation will probably be unhappy.

"Every exhibit here has its development process and story written on it. I have to say that the ticket is worth it."

Lin Xiaolong sighed.

Just now he read the R&D history, difficulties and future impact of Kaitian baseband chips. For the first time, he intuitively felt how difficult it was for Longxing Group along the way.

Not only him, tens of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room were talking about it.

"It turns out that the rumors were all true. Not only did Qualcomm monopolize the world and raise prices at will, it also teamed up with Pineapple to try to kill off our other local mobile phone companies."

"The acquisition of the baseband chip was a desperate gamble. At that time, the funds on the books of Longxing Group were less than 500,000!"

"Five hundred thousand, this is not a broken state?"

"The chip taping fee is too high, plus the foundry fee, it's a miracle that Longxing Group was able to survive!"

"I think Mr. Chen can write a book about his experiences. I will definitely collect it."

No one expected that the technological products exhibited in the Golden Hall of the Bird's Nest would actually come with stories behind them.

As Lin Xiaolong's news spread on the Internet, more and more tourists who had already arrived in the imperial capital and were still lying in their hotels, or who were going to check in at the Forbidden City or the Great Wall, came to check in at the Bird's Nest.

They are all audience members who have already grabbed tickets and are ready to attend the technology exhibition.

Lin Xiaolong looked at the stories behind them one by one, because there are many things that ordinary people simply cannot understand.

For example, the blockade and suppression of semiconductor chips. Who would have thought that three years ago, advanced technologies such as lithography machines, semiconductor chip raw materials, and EDA chip design software were firmly controlled by foreign countries?
Behind every chip lies one or even several technological breakthroughs.

……

And at the same time.

the other side.

Lei Jun's imperial capital villa.

When he learned that Chen Xing was going to hold a press conference, he hurried back to Longguo and took Chen Xing to his home.

After the two of them briefly reminisced about the past, Lei Bushi looked at the housekeeper and said, "Uncle Liu, take out the specialties of the imperial capital that I bought for Brother Chen and let him have a taste."

"Ok."

Uncle Liu hurried to make arrangements.

Chen Xing heard the conversation between the two and asked curiously, "What is the specialty?"

"You'll find out later."

Lei Jun kept it a secret.

Not a moment.

Uncle Liu brought a bowl of soy milk, fried dough sticks, and authentic roast duck and placed them on the table in front of them.

"Please enjoy."

After Uncle Liu finished speaking, he stood aside.

Chen Xing looked at the bowl of soup on the table, swallowed his saliva and said, "Isn't this the legendary bean juice whose sales depend only on outsiders?"

Although he came to the imperial capital during this period, he spent most of his time preparing for the "Longxing Annual Science and Technology Exhibition" and did not wander around.

Although he had never experienced life in the imperial capital, he had heard of the famous soy milk.

After all, it has caused a lot of controversy on the Dragon Country Internet, and there seems to be a sign that they are trying to decide which is tastier, the salty or the sweet rice dumpling.

People who are not used to drinking it think it is overnight sewage, while people who like to drink it think it is a must-have product for cooling down and relieving summer heat.

"That's right. I prepared it especially for you. When you come to our imperial capital, you must experience the refreshing feeling brought by bean juice."

Rebus smiled.

"Don't force yourself if you can't drink."

Ren Guofei, who was sitting nearby, tried to persuade him.

As the press conference was approaching, he did not want to miss it, so he came to the capital early to meet with Chen Xing and Lei Jun.

"Then let me try?"

Chen Xing also wanted to experience it.

When it comes to city tourism, whether you like it or not, you should maintain basic respect.

Moreover, traveling is not just about checking in at a place, it is about experiencing the local culture and enriching your life.

For example, if you are from the south and go to the north, you can try the sweet rice dumplings and salty tofu pudding, taste them and see if they are delicious, and think about why they like to eat them.

Similarly, if a northerner goes to the south, he can also try salty rice dumplings and sweet tofu pudding, or other things that are very different from northern culture, and experience the local culture.

You may feel uncomfortable with it, but this actually represents the history and culture of a place.

"Try it."

Lei Jun took out his mobile phone expectantly, wanting to record the scene of Chen Xing vomiting.

Out of ten southerners, seven or eight, not to mention nine, can't get used to soy milk. He just wanted to tease Chen Xing and capture that moment to post on WeChat Moments.

Chen Xing picked up the bowl, took a sip, and then put it down calmly.

"good."

he commented.

"It's OK?" Lei Bushi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "How does it taste? Is it good or bad? This is very important to me."

"Do you really want to tell me?"

"You said, it would be better to add some adjectives."

"How can I put it..."

Chen Xing thought about it carefully, then looked at Lei Bushi and said, "This tastes a bit like licking a 40-year-old man's armpit in 60-degree weather. It doesn't taste good."
