Reborn in the red age

Chapter 523: Reporter, I really don’t understand your Japanese English
After all overseas media and corporate representatives arrived, a simple count showed that the number of people exceeded 300, far exceeding previous expectations.

Huaxin was a little-known company before this. We originally thought that it would be good if there were a few mainstream overseas media, about a hundred people, plus various domestic media and manufacturer representatives, there would be about two hundred people on the scene, and the press conference hall would be completely sufficient.

But now it seems that the number of people exceeds the limit and the press conference hall is a bit crowded. The members of the working group quickly communicated with the Great Hall to change the venue and moved the press conference to a small auditorium on the third floor that can accommodate 700 people.

The venue is larger and can accommodate more people, so there are more camera positions. Without so many cameras, the scene would look a little ugly.

With no other options, Qingfeng Li could only ask people to invite back the domestic media that had been driven away, and also to bring some people from Lemon Company and Huaxin to fill all the seats at the scene.

Due to the temporary change of venue, Li Qingfeng went to inspect the site before going home in the evening. As soon as he arrived at the small auditorium, he saw workers on the stage rushing to set up the venue overnight, and many foreigners in suits and ties were strolling below.

Looking at those foreign devils, Li Qingfeng asked the staff beside him for details: "What are those foreign devils doing? Why are they at the scene so late instead of going home?"

The young man glanced at the foreigner in front of him and reported to Li Qingfeng in a low voice: "Chairman, this is our staff. Are they rehearsing for tomorrow's press conference?"

"Hmm? What are you practicing?"

"It's just rehearsing some questions prepared in advance and being responsible for applauding at some nodes."

"."

Li Qingfeng snorted with displeasure on his face, and left a sentence: "You are just good at cheating", then he turned around and left.

Seeing Li Qingfeng leave angrily, the young man who had just worked for two years quickly asked his leader: "Team Leader Sun, our chairman is angry, should we remove these agents?"

"What the hell, the chairman just said it was fraudulent, did he say that these agents should be removed? Not a single one of them was allowed to be removed, and they were even asked to rehearse more."

After saying something in a bad mood, Team Leader Sun quickly chased after Qingfeng Li, leaving the bewildered young man alone at the scene.

Huaxin's graphics card launch was the first world-class product launch in China. The specifications of this launch were very high. In order to ensure smooth traffic, relevant departments dispatched additional police forces to maintain order along the road from the hotel where overseas media stayed to the launch site.

Since the 1990s, with the increase in the number of civilian cars, traffic jams have occurred on some roads in the capital.

Since early morning, traffic police have been on duty, directing vehicles to pass in an orderly manner to prevent congestion so as not to affect the guests' arrival at the press conference on time.

Ten minutes before the press conference, all media and representatives entered and took their seats one after another.

"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the launch of the Huaxin Swift 95 graphics accelerator card product." At nine o'clock, the host Ni Xi sent by CCTV appeared on the podium in a formal dress and greeted the audience with passion.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

Needless to say, it was all the "staff" who clapped, while the foreigners wearing simultaneous interpretation headphones did not applaud at all. Even if they did, it was just a symbolic clap.

Li Qingfeng, who was sitting in the front row and applauding, couldn't help but sigh that this arrangement was really the right one. Otherwise, if these foreigners didn't give him any face, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
Jack Ma, who was sitting in the back row, leaned forward while clapping and whispered in Qingfeng Li's ear, "Teacher Li, the host is too formal. Whether it's the clothes or the tone, it's no different from the Spring Festival Gala."

As an active communicator with foreigners, Jack Ma goes wherever there are foreigners.

Jack Ma made a lot of money at the last charity gala organized by Qingfeng Li. There were also many foreigners attending this press conference. How could Jack Ma miss this product launch conference?

Li Qingfeng got a headache when he mentioned this matter. He replied in a low voice without even turning his head: "It's arranged by the higher-ups."

Regarding the host's attire, Li Qingfeng suggested that they change into a women's suit or some casual attire. The comrade in charge of the liaison rejected Li Qingfeng's suggestion on the grounds that such attire was too casual and not dignified enough.

Since the host didn't say much anyway, Qingfeng Li was too lazy to argue and just let them do what they wanted.

"Today, we will witness the birth of a groundbreaking product. With years of technological accumulation and unremitting efforts, Huaxin has brought new vitality and changes to the global technology field. Now, please give a warm round of applause to welcome Mr. Sun Kangmei, the product manager of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, to the stage."

There was another round of warm applause and shouts from the back row, showing that they were working very hard.

A few foreigners listened to the translation in the headphones with strange smiles on their faces, and chatted in low voices with their companions around them with smiles. You didn't need to ask to know that what they said was not a good thing.

Under the spotlight, Sun Kangmei, wearing Huaxin engineer's uniform, slowly walked up to the podium and waved to the people below with a slightly stiff smile.

Standing on the podium, Sun Kangmei took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said: "Dear guests, I am very excited to be here today, because I am about to show you a great product that can subvert the field of graphics processing, the Huaxin Swift 95 graphics accelerator card. We call it an epoch-making product for graphics cards."

As he spoke, Sun Kangmei lifted the thing covered with black cloth in front of him. On the large screen temporarily set up behind him, the full view of the Swift 95 pro graphics card instantly appeared through the camera lens.

Although many people have seen this computer peripheral, which the Chinese call a graphics card, on TV commercials, when they see it again, they still think it is too weird.

After all, in this era when graphics accelerator cards don't even have heat sinks, the Swift 95 is the first to be equipped with a heat sink and two fans, which gives people a rather weird feeling.

While the foreigners below were discussing in a low voice why they needed to add heat dissipation to the graphics accelerator card, Sun Kangmei's voice on the podium rang out again: "In the past years, we have been troubled by the bottleneck of graphics processing. Whether it is the ultimate picture desired by gamers or the fine image rendering pursued by professional designers, the traditional solutions are always unsatisfactory. Today, the emergence of Huaxin Swift 95 will completely break this deadlock."

He lightly clicked the remote control in his hand, and the screen switched to a set of data comparison pages. "Please see, compared with previous graphics accelerator cards, Swift 95 has achieved an amazing % increase in core frequency, which means it can process graphics data at a faster speed, making the picture smoother than ever before."

The foreign media in the audience laughed slightly. Those foreigners who originally looked down on it now thought that this was an international scam. The core frequency increased six times. You really dare to brag.

Every time international brands release a new product, the price is twice or three times that of the previous generation. But when it comes to your nameless brand, it's directly six times the price. You are exaggerating it to the sky.

At this time, a reporter wearing a uniform with the Fuji TV logo stood up and said in standard Japanese English: "Manager Sun, the data you mentioned sounds amazing. Even Intel and IBM can't guarantee a six-fold increase. How can you, a company like Huaxin that has not yet left China, make us believe that these data are not false propaganda?"

Sun Kangmei was listening to the speech from the Japanese reporter very seriously, but unfortunately he was completely confused and didn't understand what the Japanese guy was saying at all.

After all, Japanese English is something that no one from any country can understand except the Japanese.

Listening to the colonel's English, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh and tease Xu Yuanming beside him: "You said that this little devil speaks Chinese with a devilish accent, and it's fine, but how come even his English has a devilish accent?"

"Devil's flavor? What does that mean?" Xu Yuanming was not from the mainland and he rarely watched anti-Japanese movies when he was a child, so he didn't understand what Li Qingfeng meant.

Realizing this, Qingfeng Li waved his hand and did not explain to Xu Yuanming.

Sun Kangmei on the stage was silent for a long time, then he spoke apologetically: "I'm sorry, my friend from Fuji TV, your English has a strong Japanese accent, I really can't understand you, you can ask questions in Japanese, our simultaneous interpreters can speak eight languages, including Japanese."

"Ha ha."

Except for the Japanese, everyone else at the scene laughed out loud. After all, Japanese English is so magical.

As soon as they heard this guy's pronunciation, some people present wanted to laugh, but due to the occasion, they forced themselves not to laugh out loud. Now after hearing Sun Kangmei's serious words, they really couldn't help laughing out loud.

The Japanese reporter's face changed slightly when he heard the laughter from the audience, but he still asked questions in Japanese.

The translator quickly conveyed the question to Sun Kangmei, who nodded slightly with a smile on his face: "It is normal for this journalist to question us. In the field of science and technology, a rigorous attitude is indeed required. So, let us speak with facts."

This was something that had been discussed long ago. There was no need to explain too much in response to the reporters' questions. Just conduct a test directly and shut them up with facts.

As soon as Sun Kangmei finished speaking, the staff who had been prepared immediately brought a computer to the podium.

Under the gaze of 95 people at the scene, Sun Kangmei personally inserted the Swift Pro version in his hand into the motherboard of the chassis and then pressed the power button.

"Everyone is already familiar with the various parameters of our Swift 95 Pro graphics card, so I won't go into detail. In order to avoid some friends accusing us of fraudulent testing, I decided to show you the software today."

At this point, Sun Kangmei paused, looked in the direction of Xu Wangyuan, and said with a smile: "In fact, the reason why we at Huaxin designed the Swift 95 graphics card is mainly because of the suggestion of Mr. Xu Wangyuan from the electronic game department of Lemon Company."

When Xu Wangyuan was called, he immediately stood up and nodded to everyone.

Sun Kangmei continued, "During the game development process, Mr. Xu deeply felt the limitations of existing graphics accelerator cards on the presentation of game images. He came to us and put forward a series of expectations and requirements for high-performance graphics cards. After unremitting efforts, our Huaxin team finally developed a graphics accelerator card that met Mr. Xu's requirements, which is Swift 95."

"Based on our R&D data, Lemon's electronic game department has simultaneously developed a game that is fully compatible with the Swift 95 graphics card. This time, we will test the 3D game that Lemon will release soon, so that all journalists can see what a real 3D game is."

As he spoke, Sun Kangmei quickly operated on the computer and opened the simplified version of the CS icon that Lemon Company had specially developed for today's press conference.

As the game started, the classic desert game scene that excited countless young people instantly appeared on the big screen, and a slight exclamation was heard at the scene.

The map scenes in the game are lifelike, the texture of the sand in the desert is delicate and realistic, every grain of sand seems to be clearly distinguishable, the outlines of the buildings in the distance are clear, and the graffiti and bullet marks on the walls are clearly visible.

The picture quality was simply garbage in Li Qingfeng's eyes, but for everyone present, it opened a door to a whole new world of gaming.

At the beginning of 96, the game graphics that most people came into contact with were still relatively crude and simple, and the visual presentation of CS1.0 was undoubtedly extremely impactful.

Sun Kangmei controlled the game character and began to move flexibly across the map. His running movements were very smooth, without any sense of drag or lag.

Then switch between jumping, squatting, lying down and other actions, and each posture change is very smooth.

When you click the right button of the mouse, the fire and smoke emitted by the weapons, and the debris splashed by bullets hitting the walls or the ground, all caused exclamations of "Oh my God" to be heard at the scene.

“As you can see, Swift 95 brings a stunning visual and operational experience to this game.”

While Sun Kangmei skillfully manipulated the game character to engage in a gunfight, he passionately explained: "Under the current circumstances where graphics processing technology is generally limited, our Huaxin graphics card can elevate the game graphics to such a high level, which is an unprecedented breakthrough."

“Swift 95’s powerful floating-point computing capability makes the game screen smoother and more realistic, allowing players to feel as if they are on a real battlefield and enjoy the passion and excitement of the battle.”

The media in the audience had different reactions at this time.

The media who originally had a look of disdain on their faces, thinking that Huaxin was bragging and committing fraud, now had a serious look on their faces, their eyes fixed on the game screen on the big screen.

I couldn't help but think that this unknown Huaxin didn't seem to be bragging, but really created a monster.
