Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 143 The Good News for the Handicapped

Gong Jiayun calmed down a little and did not rush over. Instead, she communicated with the photographer and decided to record a brief oral broadcast from a distance with the stage as the background, expressing her true feelings at the moment.

After recording the oral broadcast, Gong Jiayuncai and the photographer walked quietly to the stage.

After explaining his identity to the staff, the photographer was arranged to a shooting position on the left side of the second row below the stage. Although the angle was a bit off, he had no complaints.

The people in the first row and the middle angle are all big shots in the media industry. How dare he compete with them for the angle.

And weren’t the photographers from Huaguang Village and Pacific Ocean honestly right next to him?

Colleagues get together and can chat and talk, which is much more pleasant than going to the front to find the place.

Gong Jiayun, under the guidance of the staff, sat in the third row of the auditorium.

The seat in front of her is basically empty at the moment, and she doesn't know who it is reserved for.

Although many people entered the venue early, they did not come directly to the venue. Instead, they checked in at the Bird's Nest and walked around first.

As the time of the press conference got closer and closer, they also gathered one after another, and the scene gradually became lively.

Most of them are users and fans of Daqin Optics, and they have common topics with each other. They all seem a little excited about this offline interview.

Especially when I saw the media swarm at the press conference, which was unexpectedly large, and even some media came to interview users, I felt a faint sense of pride.

did you see?

Being a Da Qin fan means you have such a good reputation!

In order to relieve her anxiety while waiting, Gong Jiayun also took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the boy next to her.

After learning that he turned out to be the very popular classmate Li next door on the Xiaopo Station Digital Channel, I couldn't help but take a closer look at him in surprise and found that it was really him.

"The light was too dim, I almost didn't recognize you."

"It's normal that he didn't recognize me." Li Chen smiled faintly, "After all, I am completely different today than usual."

"is it?"

Gong Jiayun looked Li Chen up and down again and found that he had indeed dressed up carefully today and put on a more mature suit.

In his usual videos, he always wears casual clothes.

"How's it going? Are you looking particularly handsome today?"

"..."

Seeing Li Chen's sweet smile towards her, Gong Jiayun couldn't help but be speechless.

If it had been anyone else, she would have responded immediately.

But I have to say that Li Chen's dress today is quite good, and he does have the look of a handsome and sunny boy.

So this guy is really rich, handsome, and even quite talented.

When I was still in college, I had millions of fans on Xiaopo.com.

Although the overall influence is not as good as their technological frontiers, in the segment of digital cameras, they can definitely crush their technological frontiers.

A real potential stock!

It’s just that I’m a little younger, and I feel like an old cow eating young grass…

"Hey, isn't that Uncle Chen? Why is he here too?"

Just when Gong Jiayun couldn't help but start thinking wildly, Li Chen suddenly whispered to himself in confusion.

Uncle Chen?

She immediately followed Li Chen's gaze and recognized the Uncle Chen in Li Chen's mouth.

Chen Yunming, President of Shanghai Silicon Industry Group!

Not only Chen Yunming, but also Vice President Dong Jianyuan also came.

And behind them,

Senior leaders of companies and groups such as Leon Micro, Huahong Group, and SMIC also came to the venue one after another!

As a media editor for a technology information company, Gong Jiayun basically knew all of these people.

These are all super bosses in the domestic semiconductor industry.

A lens manufacturer's press conference suddenly turned into a semiconductor industry conference?

But then Gong Jiayun thought about it, Dahan Silicon's silicon wafer customers seemed to be these companies.

So it is reasonable that they would come over to support Kang Chi.

It can only be said that Kang Chi's reputation is quite high.

But soon, Gong Jiayun was surprised to find,

These big guys didn't sit in the first row, but sat in the row in front of her!

For example, sitting in front of Li Chen is Chen Yunming.

Then Li Chen took the initiative to come up and called Uncle Chen, and the two immediately started chatting.

Looks like an acquaintance.

Gong Jiayun couldn't help but prick up her ears, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

But because the music and the audience's voices were too loud, we could only guess from Li Chen's expression that he was asking Chen Yunming why he came and if he had any inside information.

So she returned her gaze to the empty seat in the front row.

You don’t need to guess to know that there are more important people coming tonight!

This made Gong Jiayun suddenly feel that she was a little out of place with the environment here.

At once,

It doesn’t feel that cool.

God knows when I first entered the hospital,

She still dislikes Daqin Optics for neglecting her...

Just five minutes before the countdown to the press conference, the most important figures finally began to enter the venue.

Gong Jiayun saw tonight's protagonist at a glance, Kang Chi, the chairman of Daqin Optics.

At this time, he was accompanying a group of leaders into the auditorium. Most of them were unknown to Gong Jiayun, but she recognized the few in the middle at a glance.

Director Lu of the Ministry of Science and Technology!

There are also Academicians Zhang Dayuan and Wu Lihong!

Although Gong Jiayun has seen these people many times in the news, this is the first time she has seen them in reality.

No wonder even Chen Yunming and the others can only sit obediently in the second row...

Fang Qiming, who originally thought he might play tonight, just followed the group of big guys at the back and had no sense of presence at all.

Even so, his face was glowing red, and one could see his excitement at this moment.

So, what's going on tonight?

Is it worth the appearance of so many technology giants?

Gong Jiayun felt like there were countless ants biting her heart, and she couldn't wait for the press conference to start immediately.

Fortunately, as the countdown ended, the lights immediately dimmed, and Kang Chi finally slowly walked onto the stage in the sight of nearly a thousand people present.

Generally, other companies' new product launches will start with a company introduction VCR.

However, Daqin Optics has never shot a corporate video, so it omitted this link.

After Kang Chi walked onto the stage, he looked at the dense crowd of people below the stage, and when he thought that there were more people watching the live broadcast, he felt a little nervous.

The last time I gave a speech in front of so many people was during the flag-raising meeting on Monday in my second year of high school. Because I had a fight with someone, I went up to review the whole school...

A bit dramatic.

After Kang Chi collected his emotions, he picked up the phone and said, "Good evening, everyone. I am Kang Chi, the chairman of Daqin Optics."

"First of all, I would like to thank all the friends who came to the scene. They came here despite the zero-degree cold wind in Yanjing. It shows that everyone really loves us Daqin Optics!"

There was a burst of laughter and someone whistled.

Since the general audience was in a relatively rear position, they had no idea that there were so many leaders present in front of them, so they were quite free to let themselves go. The leaders didn’t care, and even found this relaxed atmosphere to be much more interesting than usual meetings and activities.

After the scene became a little quieter, Kang Chi continued: "In addition, I would also like to thank the fans and users who were not able to come to the scene. It is your continued support that has allowed Daqin Optics to develop from a toy lens factory to a domestically-occupied company. A domestic lens brand with a 36% share of the lens market was finally lucky enough to host Daqin Optics’ first new product launch conference in the sacred place of the Bird’s Nest, thank you all!”

Kang Chi bowed deeply to the audience and the camera, and everyone immediately gave him warm applause.

After Kang Chi stood up, he continued with a smile: "The weather is a bit cold. In order not to keep everyone cold for too long, I will try my best to speed up..."

As Kang Chi pressed the button in his hand, a slide appeared on the big screen behind him.

This slide is densely packed with user comments and messages.

"We at Daqin Optics have been carefully listening to the opinions and demands of users, and according to our analysis, since the release of our third-generation lenses, the most common ones are..."

[Why haven’t we released an autofocus lens yet? 】

After the user's screenshot on the big screen was enlarged, these large characters appeared.

Seeing this, the users of Daqin Optics immediately became excited.

"It's an autofocus lens!"

"Damn it, I'm so touched. Daqin Optics finally considers us crooks!"

"Haha, actually I have already guessed that the image quality of Daqin Optics' lenses is already very good, and it will definitely be very difficult to improve the image quality, so the new product must be an autofocus lens."

"..."

In the Daqin Optics live broadcast room at Xiaopo Station, there were only tens of thousands of viewers at this time, and the barrage was sparse and deserted. Many people even doubted how many real people were there.

It wasn't until Kang Chi got to the point that a bunch of viewers who were too lazy to type immediately exploded, and the barrages began to drift by like snowflakes.

This group of people fully explains what it means to not let go of the eagle when you see the rabbit...

"Yes, the first product released today is the autofocus lens that everyone has requested the most."

As Kangchi pressed the button again, the background switched to a new lens, with detailed parameters of the lens next to it.

Product name: Daqin Optics 24-70mm F2.8IV.

Maximum aperture: F2.8,

Lens net weight: 455 grams,

Frame: 135 full frame,

Lens type: standard zoom,

……

"Compared with the previous generation lens, the main improvement of this lens is the new autofocus function. The image quality is actually the same as the third generation lens."

"As for the performance of autofocus, I think this is a very subjective question, and it also depends on what model of camera the lens is installed on."

"So I won't go into too much description in this regard. You can watch more specific function demonstration videos on our official website later, or wait for other users' evaluation videos and usage experience."

“What I can tell you directly here is that the focus motor installed on this lens is the same model as the micro motor on the silicon wafer grinding equipment of Dahan Silicon Industry. And I think everyone should also know that the silicon wafer grinding equipment has a strong impact on the driver. How high are the requirements for the motor’s accuracy, response speed, silence and shock resistance, etc.”

In fact, this 24-70mm standard zoom lens is strictly the third generation.

Because Daqin Optics’ first-generation lens only had a plastic-looking 50mm fixed-focus lens.

It was not until the release of the second-generation lens that lens groups of various focal lengths were successively launched.

It's just that Daqin Optics' definition of a lens is not the time it was released, but the technical level used.

For example, this 24-70mm F2.8 IV, the IV behind it actually refers to the fourth generation technology.

If you trace the price back,

The second generation is priced at 399, and the third generation is 1299.

The competing product with the third-generation image quality benchmark is Sony’s FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM Master lens, priced at 13999.

The difference between the two is more than ten times!

Except that it doesn't have autofocus, it's definitely affordable.

Now that the last shortcoming has been made up, everyone is looking forward to what its price will be...

As for the parameters of the lens, Kangchi just briefly mentioned them.

He did not spend an hour or two introducing various parameters in a long speech like other technology companies' new product launches.

Less than three minutes after the product was announced, he directly entered the price link that everyone was most concerned about.

As Kang Chi pressed the remote control in his hand, four big numbers suddenly appeared on the screen.

1999!

Seeing Kang Chi announcing the price directly, the audience was a little caught off guard.

"Damn it, the autofocus Dasanyuan is only 1999?"

"Why did Boss Kang not follow common sense and announce the price immediately? Isn't it supposed to whet the audience's appetite..."

“It’s only 700 more expensive than the third generation!”

"A certain price butcher: I'm here to help you lower the price of autofocus lenses!"

"Soni: An autofocus lens from 1999? I'm so scared!"

"..."

Seeing the crazy barrage in the live broadcast room, the executives of Sony Corporation, who were also paying attention to the press conference, looked a little ugly.

Although Fujita Yoshiki's tone was light at first, in fact, today he directly summoned the entire Dahua District's senior management to stay in the conference room and wait for the start of the live broadcast.

"1999? Are you kidding me?"

"Based on the quality of their products, they can actually sell them more expensively, right?"

"Made, we can obviously make a lot of money together, why do we have to turn the table over?!"

"They don't have our bayonet protocol, how can they achieve autofocus?"

"I guess they cracked our jam..."

"Then we can sue them directly. We can also upgrade the firmware and block their lens authorization!"

"Sue them? Have you forgotten the last patent case? Maybe they will sue us for monopoly..."

"..."

A group of senior executives couldn't help but started talking about it.

Fujita Yoshiki just remained silent about this.

Because he knew that Kang Chi was not stupid. Since he did this, he must have had a backup plan.

All he can do now is to wait quietly for Kang Chi's next move before he can think of a targeted solution.

Thinking of this, Fujita Yoshiki couldn't help but rub his eyes with his hands.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, that small lens factory could actually put Sony's digital camera business into such a passive situation...
