Our Rise Era

Chapter 230 Press Conference!
"09 years..."

“That year, I was very green.”

"Our [Xiaomi 2] is also very young, stumbling, fearlessly and courageously appearing in everyone's sight..."

“The advancement of science and technology should not be high and mighty, should not be the privilege of a few, and should not be equated with art…”

“It can be beautiful, it can be a groundbreaking work, it can be admired by countless people, but it is not a work of art…”

"..."

The setting sun in the distance is gradually fading on the horizon.

A touch of orange-red light shone on Zhang Yang's face.

His voice is not high-pitched, and not even as passionate as when [Wheat 2] was released, but it is very penetrating and sincere.

It’s as if an old friend, under the sunset sky, silently tells you a story from the past.

"In the past two years, I have actually been on the road, watching my seniors gradually drift away..."

“Some people fall from a height, and continue to climb up unwillingly, but eventually, they fall down again…”

"..."

As soon as Zhang Yang finished speaking, a light suddenly flashed on the screen behind him.

Then, three months ago, the Samsung I4 equipped with Qualcomm's first-generation S1.0 processor 790 appeared in front of everyone.

This machine, which had a minimum configuration price of over 4500 yuan and was ultimately beaten by the iPhone 4S, seemed like a mark of the times, engraved in this historical node of February 2012.

The picture was very short, and then it disappeared in an instant, and it turned into the phone shell of [Xiaomi 3], a shell without any spare parts...

“In 09, [Wheat 2] was released!”

"In 2010, sales exceeded million units!"

"In 2011, sales exceeded million units..."

"..."

"The sales volume was beyond our expectation. While we were celebrating, we also became more cautious..."

"In the past two years, I have been thinking about what kind of [Wheat 3] we should use to repay this hard-earned trust..."

"So, we have been working hard, striving, communicating, and using all kinds of methods, waiting for our best processor to come out!"

"Finally, we have the Qualcomm S4 Pro processor..."

As soon as Zhang Yang finished speaking, the lights on the screen flickered, and a Qualcomm S3Pro processor suddenly appeared on the empty shell of [Xiaomi 4].

Zhang Yang has excellent ability to control the situation.

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, he pushed up his glasses, and his voice was always sincere...

Everyone looked at him and listened to him quietly...

but!
The moment the S4Pro processor appeared on the screen...

The originally quiet meeting room was suddenly filled with unprecedented cheers.

Several young people stood up excitedly and clapped their hands vigorously.

"Although it is also S4, the S4Pro processor is an upgraded version of Samsung's [I790]!"

"..."

Outside the stadium.

Zheng Xiaorong heard bursts of cheers.

She was stunned at first.

But then Zheng Xiaorong was also stunned when she heard someone shouting excitedly.

thought……

In [Samsung I790], under the pressure of capital, the configuration of [Wheat 3] will be very low...

She was even prepared to spend money to support it, but when she heard about the processor, she was a little bit incredulous for a moment.

She looked at Zhang Yang on the screen, as well as the configuration on the screen behind Zhang Yang.

I don't know why, but I have an indescribable feeling in my heart...

Been waiting for two years!
Zhang Yang did not disappoint them...

..............................

Waves of cheers rang out in the conference hall.

Zhang Yang smiled with a calm face and just pressed his hands lightly.

The cheers at the scene fell silent again...

A pair of faces filled with excitement stared at Zhang Yang!

"In the past two years, we have also seen the launch of a groundbreaking product..."

"Some people say that its birth defined the era of smart phones, while others say that its birth defined the entire iPhone era..."

"..."

Zhang Yang finished saying this.

A screen appeared behind him.

Soon after, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S phones appeared in front of everyone one after another...

Everyone held their breath at this moment and stared at Zhang Yang closely.

In 09, Zhang Yang's competitor was the Samsung I750. In 12, did Zhang Yang...

"We can't comment on the appearance of any phone..."

"Beauty is something that cannot be defined..."

"It's like turnips and cabbages..."

“我们只知道，这是一款512MB+16GB存储组合，1420mAh不可拆卸电池，3.5英寸960×640分辨率屏幕，800万像素后置+30万像素前置摄像头组合……”

When the screen froze on the image of iPhone 4S, Zhang Yang pushed his glasses and introduced the configuration of this phone.

"We don't know what beauty is. We just hope that people don't hate our appearance. We also just hope that, step by step, we can make our products better..."

"They have 512MB+16GB storage combination, and we have 1GB+16GB storage combination..."

"They have 1420mAh non-removable batteries, and we only have 2000mAh batteries..."

“它们3.5英寸960×640分辨率屏幕，我们就，4.3英寸720P屏幕！”

"They have an 800-megapixel rear camera + a 190-megapixel front camera combination, and we have an 850-megapixel rear camera + a 200-megapixel front camera combination!"

"..."

Zhang Yang held the microphone.

The sound gradually became faster.

As Zhang Yang finished every word.

On the screen, every configuration of the iPhone 4S was shattered into pieces like a shredder.

In the screen of [Xiaomi 3], there are more core configurations one after another, and finally a mobile phone case is gradually assembled into a complete mobile phone!

The audience below was stunned!

The originally excited emotion... with every word of Zhang Yang and every smash of the iPhone 4S configuration, finally became a new and exciting emotion that I couldn't control myself!

More and more people stood up...

The applause could not be stopped and continued...

Amid the applause, Zhang Yang held the microphone even tighter.

“They’re good!”

“We are better!”

As these words were spoken...

Countless young people at the scene stood up instantly!
Excitedly shouting the name of [Xiaomi 3]...

Zhang Yang looked at the figures one by one, his heart was surging, and he enjoyed being the center of attention...

But his expression was always serious, and he exuded a kind of humility and sincerity from the inside out that surprised everyone...

His next words also surprised many people.

“But we are always on the road…”

"In the past two years..."

"My team and I have been working on the development of intelligent voice."

"I am eager to stand on the stage and tell everyone that we have made a breakthrough in technology and we have the SIRI intelligent voice system..."

"But we failed!"

"We have been catching up for two years, but the technological gap is too big for us to catch up in two years..."

"Sorry, we don't have SIRI smart voice..."

"..."

Everyone on the scene was stunned.

Take a look at everyone’s mobile phone launch event.

Everyone uses the phrase "strengthening strengths and avoiding weaknesses" to describe their mobile phones.

When it comes to their own strengths, they brag about them.

And when faced with their own shortcomings, they don’t even mention them…

I have never admitted my shortcomings and weaknesses so openly and sincerely like Zhang Yang did...

"I have to admit that SIRI Voice is a groundbreaking intelligent technology..."

"I have to admit that we haven't broken through the constraints of the system and are on par with the iPhone..."

"but……"

“We are always on the road, and we are working hard to do better…”

“We also have our own products…”

"It's a trivial little voice game [Talking Tom Cat]..."

"..."

Sincerity is always a must-win.

In the distant sky, the sun has already set.

The sunset glow has gradually faded away, and the earth is shrouded in a layer of gray darkness.

The lights on the screen dimmed.

Zhang Yang waved his hand casually, and then...

A game called "Talking Tom Cat" appeared in front of everyone.

"Mr. Tom Cat, follow our audience and say hello..."

Zhang Yang turned around and said this to the cute animated cat in the game!

"Hello, brothers and sisters, my name is Tom Cat, and today I am one year old!"

"..."

"Do a dance move..."

"Ok!"

"..."

....................................

In the stadium that is under the spotlight.

One by one, young people were looking at the stage, demonstrating their mobile phones ostentatiously.

That is a cute, adorable cat...

Looks like a Tamagotchi.

But, when Zhang Yang touched it.

It reacts in all sorts of ways, and speaks in funny voices and makes bizarre movements.

It can imitate human speech seriously and solemnly, with a humorous tone...

It also answers some specific, very simple questions...

for example……

"What is the date and day of the week today..."

"What's the memo today..."

"What should I eat today..."

"..."

It is a virtual pet.

However, its every word, action and movement on the screen are like a real kitten...

……

"Tomorrow, you will meet more family members. Do you have anything to say?"

"Wow, thank you all for taking me in. I will do my best to be a little assistant. I will study hard in the future and try to help you more. Thank you all!"

"..."

On the stage, Zhang Yang was constantly talking to the Tom cat.

The iPhone 4S's SIRI smart voice assistant is powerful but lacks immersion...

Zhang Yang reduced the intelligence of "Tom Cat", but made up for it and made adjustments in terms of immersion, novelty and playability.

Let the simplest AI and intelligent voice animation show a more immersive effect...

Under Zhang Yang's demonstration...

The effect was even more amazing than the capabilities demonstrated by SIRI!
as if……

It’s a new round, a local AI revolution!
