Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 700: Always copied but never surpassed

The next day, October 21st, the Ideal Technology new phone launch conference started at 2:30 p.m. Zhou Jing and her bestie Bai had lunch and went to Tangdu Conference Center early.

The staff is making intensive preparations and everything is in order.

“I wish the press conference a great success.”

Luo Yonghao from Smartisan Technology came specially to show his support. When he saw Zhou Jing getting out of the car outside the conference center, he stepped forward to shake hands with him.

"Thank you Mr. Luo, I wish the Hammer phone a success soon."

Zhou Jing handed the file bag in his hand to Bai's best friend and shook hands with her enthusiastically.

"Borrowing Mr. Zhou's auspicious words."

Luo Yonghao's visit this time was not only to attend the new product launch of Ideal Technology, but also because Zhou Jing's investment company is one of the shareholders of Smartisan Technology. Smartisan mobile phones encountered some technical problems during research and development, and Luo Yonghao hoped that Zhou Jing's company's technical team could help solve them.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou, can we take a photo together?"

Many digital bloggers and technology bloggers gathered outside the conference center at this time. They recognized Zhou Jing and greeted him.

“Thank you all for coming to the Ideal Press Conference.”

Zhou Jing greeted everyone.

"Mr. Zhou, can you now reveal what the mysterious new product is?"

Digital bloggers are very curious about what Ideal Technology’s so-called new product that will subvert tradition is. Ever since Zhou Jing vaguely revealed the Bluetooth headset, the entire digital circle has been speculating.

Some people guessed that it was wireless headphones, but their guess was incorrect. They guessed that it was a pair of over-ear Bluetooth headphones.

Zhou Jing smiled and raised his finger and pointed at his ear. At this time, Zhou Jing was wearing a Bluetooth headset on one ear.

"Wow, are those headphones?"

"A wireless headset this small?"

"This is too strong."

The wireless headphones Zhou Jing wore, which were about the same size as the earbud part of ordinary wired headphones, stunned digital bloggers. They could not imagine that wireless headphones could be made so compact. It really subverted traditional headphones.

"Mr. Zhou, how much is this pair of headphones?"

After reacting, digital bloggers took pictures of Zhou Jing's ears to expose them first.

"It will be kept secret for now and will be announced at the press conference."

After interacting with the digital blogger for a few words, Zhou Jing took Luo Yonghao to the backstage and let Luo Yonghao experience the sound effects of Bluetooth headphones on the way.

"Awesome! Mr. Zhou gives us surprises every year. How long will this last?"

Luo Yonghao put on Zhou Jing's Bluetooth headphones, stopped the music and was amazed. The sound quality was better than his own wired headphones.

"A full charge can last for two and a half to three hours. A full charge of the earphone case can charge the earphones about four times. A mobile phone power bank can also charge the earphone case."

Zhou Jing took out a headphone box that was slightly larger than an egg and said.

"Amazing! I didn't expect you guys to get this far with batteries. This is enough for all the mobile phone manufacturers to copy for years. Which battery and headphone manufacturers are you cooperating with?"

Luo Yonghao was amazed again that the battery life of the headphones was more than two hours, which was enough for use. Luo Yonghao still had some technical questions about the Bluetooth headphones, such as how many times the battery of the headphones could be recharged. Luo Yonghao did not ask too many technical details before the press conference started.

"Yuan Chi Battery and Jing Yin Audio and Video."

Driven by Ideal Technology, these two companies have been thriving since last year, and have become the strongest companies in China in micro batteries and speakers respectively. There are also many domestic smartphone hardware companies that are thriving under the leadership of Ideal Technology, such as one that makes mobile phone screens, one that designs chips, and so on.

It can be said that Ideal Technology has single-handedly driven the rapid development of the domestic electronics industry.

The Ideal Technology press conference ended today, and the stocks of listed companies among these companies will rise sharply tomorrow.

"Mr. Zhou."

When the Ideal Technology staff saw Zhou Jing coming, they all perked up.

"Take Mr. Luo to the lounge."

Zhou Jing said to an employee.

"Okay, Mr. Luo, this way please."

"Thank you."

"Put this on the table in front. Make sure there is no water on the stage before the press conference begins. The lighting team should pay attention to the angle and not aim the light at Mr. Zhou's eyes. When the second-level spokesperson comes on stage, make sure to adjust the air conditioning temperature."

Bai Xiyao gave instructions to the staff.

"Okay Mr. Bai."

"."

After a short break, Zhou Jing went backstage to put on makeup, and Yang Mi, the spokesperson for the Bluetooth headset, also started putting on makeup.

"Did you wear this at the press conference last week?"

The makeup artist needs to choose how to apply makeup based on what Zhou Jing is wearing.

"Correct."

Zhou Jing said as he looked at the makeup artist in the mirror in front of him.

The makeup artist was a girl in her twenties. She was dressed quite fashionably and was quite pretty.

"Give Mr. Zhou a slight haircut."

The makeup artist took out a brand new robe and put it on Zhou Jing. To prevent the broken hair from entering his neck, he wrapped a bandage around Zhou Jing's neck, then took a pair of scissors and carefully trimmed it.

Zhou Jing stared at the mirror until he finished putting on makeup, then he pulled himself away and called Gu Jia.

"Are you all ready?"

Gu Jia answered the phone and said.

Zhou Jing: "Everything is ready. My flight is at 6:30 pm, so I'll be a little late when I get back."

Gu Jia: "Don't be in a hurry. There's no time to change your flight to tomorrow."

"Ah."

After chatting with Gu Jia for a while, Zhou Jing hung up the phone and went to make final preparations. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the conference center was already crowded with people, and the large screen on the stage and the small screens on both sides were playing different pictures.

The central large screen plays the development history of Ideal Technology over the past year in a loop. The video begins with highlights from last year's press conference. The central large screen, composed of three large screens, looks particularly gorgeous in the hall with a starry sky atmosphere. The small screens on both sides play advertising videos produced by Ideal Technology.

Before the press conference even started, the online digital circle was already buzzing with excitement. As clear photos of Zhou Jing wearing Bluetooth headphones taken by digital bloggers were exposed, the mystery of the Ideal Technology Bluetooth headphones was officially unveiled, sparking heated discussions throughout the digital circle. Netizens were deeply shocked, and other mobile phone manufacturers were once again hit hard.

"As expected of Ideal and President Zhou, this headset is so sci-fi."

"In a word, it's an ideal fortress."

"It's flashy, the sound quality of wireless headphones will definitely be greatly reduced, and without a wire, it's easy to drop, and you can't even find it if you drop it on the ground."

“Why didn’t the original poster mention that wired headphones break easily, and my wires are tangled and difficult to untangle?”

"That's right. Empress Dowager Cixi thought the same thing back then. She thought trains and cars were too noisy, so she thought sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages were better. I suggest that you stop riding in cars and ask your father to get you a donkey-drawn cart."

"Someone said the same thing when Bluetooth speakers came out last year, but within half a year, all mobile phone brands have launched Bluetooth speakers and smart speakers. The funny thing is that some of them pay patent fees to Ideal Technology, while others use Ideal Technology's technology but don't pay, and are sued by Ideal Technology."

"People with short-sightedness only see the headphones themselves, but don't think about the impact of Bluetooth speakers on battery and wireless communication technologies."

"."

Amid the voices praising Ideal's technological innovation, there are always some discordant comments, complaining that wireless headphones are flashy and impractical, and as a result, many people follow suit and criticize them.

At 2:29, the countdown to Ideal Technology’s new phone launch began.

All the lights and large screens in the hall were turned off, and the lights from the mobile phones in the dark auditorium were as bright as the starry sky. As the time approached 2:30, the lights on the ceiling of the hall gradually brightened like a blooming starry sky. The large screen in the center of the stage was like an ideal smartphone turned on, with the ideal icon lighting up in the middle.

"Ideal Technology is a fortress."

"Mr. Zhou!"

"."

As the opening music played, the small screens on both sides of the central large screen flashed the countdown of 10, 9, 83, 2, 1, which gradually ignited the atmosphere, and screams and cheers rang out in the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Zhou Jing, Chairman and CEO of Ideal Technology."

After the slightly magnetic male voice introduced the song, the lights on the top of the stage slowly lit up, forming rays of light.

"Dear guests, dear friends, good afternoon, welcome to the Ideal new product launch conference."

Zhou Jing walked out of the backstage and walked towards the center on the light spots on the stage. Zhou Jing was wearing a white shirt on the upper body and blue jeans on the lower body. He had a straight and upright figure, and through the shirt you could see the beautiful muscle lines inside, and handsome appearance. As long as he stood at the press conference, he would be the best spokesperson for Ideal Technology.

"Wow!"

There was applause from the audience, followed by cheers.

"Welcome everyone again. Ideal has been pursuing technological innovation, using technological innovation to provide everyone with a new experience, exploring artificial intelligence and smart life. Since the establishment of Ideal Technology, hundreds of millions of users have chosen Ideal Technology. Thank you everyone."

After the applause died down, Zhou Jing began to speak, and as soon as he finished speaking, warm applause broke out again from the audience.

"Since its establishment, Ideal Technology has released eight products. Today we will release two new products. In the minds of users at home and abroad, Ideal Technology is a leader in innovation and a representative of quality. It has always been copied but never surpassed. This is the result of Ideal Technology's consistent adherence to innovation and craftsmanship."

Zhou Jing is not bragging or boasting. Ideal Technology has indeed been copied since its establishment but has not been surpassed. In terms of artificial intelligence innovation, Ideal Technology is a well-deserved leader. iPhone has to give it some credit for this. Artificial intelligence has been developed for several years, but iPhone is still only making progress on mobile phones.

While other smartphones can already play competitive games, watch TV series and movies, iPhone is still making industrial waste with mini screens. iPhone users are using the so-called highest-end smartphones but enjoying the worst functions.

"In March last year, we launched the first Bluetooth mobile phone and Bluetooth speaker, successfully solving the problem of users being bothered by long and messy audio cables."

"Last September, we launched the first generation of Ideal Technology smartphones and Xiao Ai, a smart speaker that is smarter than Bluetooth speakers. After continuous learning, Xiao Ai has made the speaker no longer just a tool for playing music, but also an electronic companion for users to chat and relieve boredom."

"Last November, we launched the first smart lamp, which allows people to turn on and off lights in every corner of the house while lying in bed, so that people who are afraid of the dark no longer have to worry about turning lights on and off."

"In April this year, we launched the first smart children's watch to protect children's safety at all times"

“Science and technology make human beings progress, and ideal technology is born for technological innovation”

Before releasing the new products, Zhou Jing first reviewed the achievements of Ideal Technology from last year to this year. The PPT displayed each product of Ideal Technology, and applause broke out from the audience from time to time.

Zhou Jing spoke eloquently on the stage, his speech speed neither fast nor slow. Zhou Jing said he was nervous, but from the moment he stepped onto the stage, he turned into a domineering president who was born for big occasions.

There was a live webcast on the scene, and the online technology circle seemed to be enjoying a technological feast. The footage of Zhou Jing at the press conference quickly spread across the entire network. Even people who didn't pay attention to electronic products were attracted by Zhou Jing and were full of curiosity about the new phone from Ideal Technology.

Behind the scenes of the conference center, the staff from Ideal Technology and Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd. did not dare to relax at all and always paid attention to the status of the multimedia equipment. The person who was most nervous at every press conference was not Zhou Jing, but the on-site staff.

Bai Xiyao was sitting backstage, watching Zhou Jing's situation through the big screen.

Reviewing previously released products, Zhou Jing unveiled the mystery of Ideal Technology's new generation of smartphones, Ideal 2 and Ideal 2s.

Ideal II uses a 5.0-inch large screen with rounded corners. The length, width and thickness are 144mm, 73mm and 6mm respectively. It weighs 7.9g and comes in five colors: elegant black, moonlight white and rose red.
The main configuration includes a 1300-megapixel front camera, a 3150-megapixel rear camera, a 2mAh battery capacity, an Ideal 2 with 32GB of RAM and 2GB of body, and an Ideal 2s with 64GB of RAM and GB of body.

The large screen with rounded corners is very demanding on the thickness of the phone to achieve high appearance. Only when it is light and thin can it win appearance. To achieve light and thin, the most important thing is the battery. In terms of mobile phone battery technology, Ideal Technology is number one and no one dares to say it is second. The energy density of Ideal's first-generation Bluetooth headset battery was enough to keep up with competitors for more than two years. The battery used in Ideal's second-generation smartphones is thinner, has a larger capacity and longer battery life than competitors.

The battery of Xiaomi's latest Mi 3, which is famous for its high-end battery, is not as good as that of Ideal II.

"It's so beautiful, is it really that thin?"

"This thick battery with 3150 mAh is really amazing. I remember that the Mi 3 had 3050 mAh. The core configuration of the Ideal II is not worse than that of the Mi 3. Ideal has put a lot of effort into it this time."

"The Mi 3 standard model has only 16GB of storage, and although the running memory is the same as the Ideal II, the Mi 3's processor is a Pioneer Edition, which is a castrated version, while the Ideal II uses the official version."

"."

The people in the audience were immediately attracted by the pictures and configuration of Ideal 2. Whether in terms of appearance or configuration, Ideal 2 is no worse than other new phones from other mobile phone manufacturers this year. If the software and system of Ideal 2 can continue the smoothness and stability of the previous generation, it will undoubtedly be the king of all domestically produced phones this year.

"I think everyone is most concerned about the price. The standard version of Ideal 2 is priced at 2599, and the price of Ideal 2s is 2799."

Zhou Jing didn't like to keep people in suspense, so he didn't let the people in the audience guess and announced the price directly.

“It’s a little pricey, but worth it.”

"With this appearance, this configuration, plus the ideal software system, overall this price is much better than Apple and Samsung."

"Ideal is the most courageous among its peers. The lowest price of the same smartphone abroad is 300 yuan more expensive than in China. As long as it is more expensive than the price abroad, I will not hesitate to sell it for 4,000 yuan."

“Indeed, being able to earn money abroad is truly amazing.”

"."

"Next is a brand new product from Ideal Technology."

After the introduction of the smartphone, Zhou Jing officially unveiled the mystery of the Bluetooth headset.
