Two weeks later, Apple and Android phones were released.
It caused a sensation in the country.
Despite its high price, sales are not low.
Zhou Chen continued to work steadily, upgrading the HarmonyOS system to improve the user experience. At the same time, he accelerated the development of Green Bubble and provided Wang Rui and Zhang Hao with more help.
In fact, most users in China still use older mobile phones. Smartphones are not very practical for many people because the country's network infrastructure does not cover the entire country. The government is making great efforts to address this issue.
As a result, whether it's Zhou Chen's HarmonyOS phone, or Android or Apple phones, they are only suitable for relatively developed cities. In remote areas, these smartphones are simply unusable; even signal strength is a problem, let alone internet access.
Adding in issues like data charges, it will still take some time before smartphones become universally adopted by the entire society.
Autumn has passed and winter has arrived; it's another new year.
When school resumed, Zhou Chen entered the second semester of his sophomore year.
This semester was relatively peaceful for Zhou Chen. Zhou Ling didn't bother anyone, and Zhou Na and Zhou Chuan seemed to have disappeared, making Zhou Chen almost forget about those three ingrates.
It was during one of my online experiences that I saw a photo of Zhou Ling at an internet cafe, accompanied by a caption that claimed to have witnessed Zhou Ling bringing her daughter online and making some pro-foreign and anti-Chinese remarks.
Zhou Chen was not surprised at all by Zhou Ling's behavior. It was perfectly reasonable for someone who could be so ungrateful to praise foreign countries and belittle his motherland.
If Zhou Ling were given the opportunity to immigrate abroad and even curse, she would agree without hesitation.
As for Zhou Na and Zhou Chuan
Zhou Chen was too lazy to inquire; it was best if he didn't show up.
In the blink of an eye,
Zhou Chen is a junior in college, with only one year left until graduation.
Three days before the start of school,
Zhou Chen received an invitation from the president of a university in Fanjia County to attend a housewarming celebration.
That's right.
The high school, rebuilt with donations from Zhou Chen, is now complete and ready for use. The rebuilt high school is very beautiful, with separate buildings for teaching buildings, library, canteen, etc. There are also ponds and small artificial hills built on campus, making it even more beautiful than the indoor high school.
Because Zhou Chen, the top scorer in the province, came from a high school, its reputation soared, attracting many students and parents, some of whom even traveled from several regions to send their children to study there.
On the day of the ceremony, not only reporters from Fengcheng TV, but also many reporters from other provinces rushed to report on it.
To put it bluntly, because Zhou Chen is a celebrity from Fanjia County, the GDP of Fanjia County has been boosted by a lot.
The officials of Fanjia County vigorously promoted Zhou Chen, making him a role model for the county.
Zhou Chen's home has become a popular spot for people to take photos and check in.
In short, Zhou Chen is someone everyone in Fanjia County respects.
At the end of the second semester of junior year,
Good news keeps coming.
Significant progress has been made in chip research and development, with breakthroughs achieved from zero to one in both design and chip manufacturing.
There is also progress in the development of domestically produced lithography machines.
Zhou Chen understands the importance of chips, especially in production, where lithography machines are indispensable. In his previous life, he was held back by others, so in this life, Zhou Chen has been constantly pouring money into this field, poaching talent, and trying to find other ways to achieve a breakthrough.
Current chips are not yet as small as those of later generations, and Zhou Chen believes it is entirely possible to catch up.
Once you miss this period, it will be very difficult to catch up later.
Even if they can't overtake him, Zhou Chen believes that it would be well worth it if they could at least avoid falling too far behind.
Something is better than nothing!
The second piece of good news is that the green bubble was successfully developed. Wang Rui and Zhang Hao led the team and, with Zhou Chen's continuous suggestions for improvement, finally finished the last piece of code.
Once the internal testing is completed, it will be launched soon. At that time, with this software alone, Zhou Chen will be able to take the HarmonyOS mobile phone to the next level.
Of course, at that time, it was a devastating blow to Android and Apple, and also a huge challenge for Tencent, a major company.
Because Green Bubble has the ability to kill penguins.
The only thing that Zhou Chen regrets is that 4G networks haven't started yet, and under the current network conditions, they will be subject to certain limitations, affecting the use of smartphones.
Fortunately, Huawei and many other domestic companies are actively developing this technology, and foreign companies are also conducting research, because at this point, many people have realized that the future will definitely belong to smartphones.
Currently, with the increasing sales of smartphones, the original Symbian system phones, such as those from giants like Nokia, are now like elderly people, growing old and losing competitiveness, and continuously losing market share.
Zhou Chen could only sigh at this.
Nokia chose the wrong research and development path and was destined to exit the historical stage. This was inevitable, and even without him, the outcome would not have changed.
As a third-year student and a popular figure on campus, Zhou Chen had to participate in some activities organized by the college and the university, such as giving speeches, in addition to attending classes.
Of course, Zhou Chen did not refuse this request. On the contrary, he was very enthusiastic about it because he wanted to plant a seed in the hearts of many alumni.
In the future, he may be able to recruit talents from various fields to his team.
Not only that, Zhou Chen also took the initiative to tell Vice Principal Li Wenyan that he didn't mind giving speeches at other universities. Zhou Chen didn't want to let go of the students of Yanda University itself, and he naturally wanted to poach talents from other schools as well.
then,
With Li Wenyan's help, Zhou Chen began to frequently visit other domestic universities to communicate with entrepreneurial students.
Yanli University,
Zhou Na, who is now a junior and a senior student, is much more mature than she was in her freshman and sophomore years. Her long hair has been replaced with short hair, which makes her look much more capable.
Indeed, Zhou Na is now beginning to exhibit the qualities of a professional.
It wasn't that Zhou Na imitated it; rather, she was indeed in the workplace. Unlike other college students, Zhou Na worked part-time at a company, honing her skills.
She no longer considers surpassing Zhou Chen as a goal, because that goal is too lofty, and she may never be able to surpass it in her lifetime.
Therefore, Zhou Na's thought was to improve her own abilities as much as possible.
She would accept it even without a salary.
Once she entered the real workplace, she realized just how difficult it is to be a successful businesswoman.
"Zhou Na, he came to our school to participate in the exchange meeting."
"I heard there will be a speech on stage, do you want to go listen?"
Hao Ying, as Zhou Na's only friend, immediately told Zhou Na about Zhou Chen's visit to Yenching University for an exchange program.
In the past, Zhou Na, who was proud of herself, might have refused.
But Zhou Na, who is much more mature now, does not want to run away. Secondly, she also wants to hear Zhou Chen's business acumen.
