The Changjiang home version is about to be launched. Since the current target customers are limited to a relatively small group of people, Huo Bo proposed to give away a portion of them for trial use before the official sale.
Jiang Chen never participated in the company's operations and decision-making, so when Huo Bo mentioned it to him, he agreed without giving it much thought. Because he was busy, he didn't even look closely at the list of customers to whom the gifts were given.
It was not until he was invited to a private dinner at Yang's home that he learned who Shen Xu and Huo Bo had chosen as the recipients of the gifts.
"Xiao Jiang, I'm very optimistic about your system. My wife also said before that I'm too old to keep up with the latest trends, and it's risky to keep these high-tech things at home. Since I caught a thief, now every day, I don't need an alarm clock anymore, I just wait for Changjiang to remind me to get up and take medicine. She also brings her old girlfriends home every day to show off!"
The old man with gray hair on his temples smiled kindly. When facing Jiang Chen, he showed the admiration of an elder for a younger person, and could not hide his love for the younger person.
Jiang Chen naturally knew the old man in front of him, Mr. Zhang Yuanxian, a leader in the field of plant research who had appeared in their biology books.
However, he never expected that this person would be on Shen Xu and Huo Bo’s gift list.
Before a company launches its products, it often gives them to certain groups of people for trial use. These groups often have a certain authority in the current field, so that their evaluation after use can be more convincing. However, Changjiang is not used for ordinary products. They make electronic technology products. In this era when computers are not yet common, AI intelligence is even less popular. Changjiang is not difficult to use, but it also requires certain manipulation skills during the early trial and debugging.
The Changjiang Home Edition is not like a computer that can be used as easily as turning it on. It is a system that can be customized to each person, automatically collect data, and then provide the owner with the necessary services and protection. It collects data just like the previous test by Jiang Chen and his team, which takes some time to implement. This period of time also requires the cooperation of the user. People who have no computer skills or do not understand electronic technology will find it difficult to experience its benefits in a short period of time.
Therefore, it is very important to prepare a trial list in advance. It should include diversity in age and career, and also take into account the other party's usage ability and financial ability - regardless of the R&D costs, just the cost of the equipment required for the operation and subsequent installation of the Changjiang Home Edition is already beyond the level that ordinary people can afford.
As a result, the scope of gifts available is very narrow.
In addition, although Jiang Chen worked in a military research institute, Changjiang's research and development was a state-confidential project at the time, and no one knew his relationship with the company. Even if they knew, his identity would be of no use until Changjiang was actually interviewed and approved.
Therefore, the launch of a brand-new product has to face many challenges, and the Changjiang Home Edition will face many challenges. In fact, because the target customer group is not large in number, it is even more difficult for Shen Xu and Huo Bo to select suitable candidates for gifting and accepting the gift.
Apart from the authorities in the field, the only people Jiang Chen could think of at the time were the new generation of leaders like Li Nanfeng who had started their own companies. This was on the premise that Li Nanfeng would only accept it if he had cooperated with him before.
After all, I agreed to it, so I also accepted the obligation to give a review after using it.
To sum up, Jiang Chen could never have imagined that Shen Xu and others could actually install the Changjiang home version in Academician Zhang's home.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile. Even though the functions mentioned by the old man were the most minor ones of the Changjiang, and they were not even functions at all, and they did not bring out even one percent of its true strength, he had insisted on developing a home version because he wanted more people to live a more convenient and safer life.
He was happy to receive positive comments no matter from which aspect.
"As long as you and the old lady feel good about it." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "If you have any questions or problems during use, you can call the after-sales service hotline on the back of the manual, and we will solve it for you as soon as possible."
"Okay." Seeing Old Yang coming over here, Academician Zhang said with a smile: "If Old Yang hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that this system was developed by you before today. When your system is officially launched on the market, Grandpa will definitely support you and install one for each family member."
Jiang Chen was not polite and immediately said, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhang."
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Mr. Yang was curious: "What are you talking about?"
"The system developed by Xiao Jiang." Academician Zhang paused, suddenly remembered something, and asked Mr. Yang: "You told me before that Xiao Ya's nephew is now working at the Military Industry Institute and has started his own company to develop software. Could it be Xiao Jiang?"
"That's him." Old Yang turned around and introduced Jiang Chen: "Academician Zhang was your aunt's teacher before."
"I was thinking that Xiao Jiang looked familiar. When you mentioned it, I remembered that she looked like the nephew she brought with her." Academician Zhang was a little surprised, but it was expected. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "As we get older, our memory becomes worse."
Elder Yang also smiled and said, "We are all old and have to admit our age, but I feel relieved to hand over our responsibilities to the younger generations."
"You are not assured." Academician Zhang pretended to be jealous and said, "You and Old Xiang both have Xiao Jiang here, and I only have Xiao Ya here. Her child doesn't like to teach students, and I don't know who will take care of her in the future."
"Believe in the country, and believe in the young people of our country." Yang Laodao: "I will not let you have no successors."
Academician Zhang was just joking about an old friend. He smiled when he heard it, turned his head and looked at Jiang Chen. He was about to say something, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and said to Jiang Chen, "Your aunt sent me a file before, saying that she wanted me to help look at it and see if I could find the pattern of the things in the file. I did find something and replied to the email, but she didn't seem to accept it. Do you know what she's been busy with recently?"
Jiang Chen didn't think much about it, and nodded, "Aunt has been in the laboratory recently. She took a few days off some time ago. There were some problems with the culture dishes in the laboratory, so she went back and hasn't come out yet."
Academician Zhang shook his head: "This girl is over 30 years old and still the same as when she was in school. She forgets everything when she does an experiment."
Jiang Chen also agreed. Before, even though he was running back and forth between school, company and laboratory, he would make sure to get enough rest every day. Occasionally, he would be distracted by some things in life. However, once He Yanya entered the working state, it could almost be said that she would forget to eat and sleep. Except for maintaining the things her body needed and sleep, she could completely block out everything from the outside world.
In this respect, he admired He Yanya very much.
"She is in the lab, so she probably rarely opens emails." Academician Zhang knows his students very well. There are computers in the lab, but they are not used for personal purposes. He Yanya will never use it to receive emails from a private mailbox, and she may not even open it if it is a work mailbox.
Thinking of this, Academician Zhang said, "She told me before that the document she sent me was very important. If I find any clues, I must tell her as soon as possible. Now she has locked herself in the laboratory and cannot answer the phone. If I don't go to her in person, I will have to wait until she completes this stage of the experiment."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "If it's an important email, I can go to my aunt's laboratory to find her and remind her to check the email. Now she has moved to the laboratory of the Military Industry Institute, which is very close to my laboratory."
Academician Zhang thought about it and felt it was appropriate: "Then I'll trouble you, Xiao Jiang."
…
Jiang Chen left Yang's home and stayed at He's home for one night. After returning to the research institute the next day, he went directly to He Yanya's laboratory.
As he expected, He Yanya was already in the laboratory at six in the morning, and her assistant was also in the laboratory with her, so there was no possibility of contacting her through her assistant.
Jiang Chen could only knock on the door, waiting for the person inside to hear him and then open the door.
However, in the extremely quiet laboratory at six o'clock in the morning, no one paid attention even if there was a sudden knock on the door.
Jiang Chen knocked a few more times before He Yanya's assistant noticed him.
The assistant came over to open the door quickly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was just recording data and was so focused that I didn't hear the knock on the door."
Jiang Chen expressed his understanding and said it was okay. He then asked his assistant, "Could you please call Professor He for me? I have something to ask her."
He Yanya was interrupted by a familiar assistant, with a look of surprise on her face. She turned around and saw Jiang Chen standing at the door. She was stunned for a moment, took off her white coat, and her eyebrows relaxed a little. She asked as she walked in, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Chen smiled and slowly explained his purpose. He Yanya frowned slightly, as if recalling something. After a few seconds, he suddenly quickened his pace and explained as he walked: "My notebook is in my office. Let's go there together now. The file you sent to my teacher is the one you have not been able to decipher and find the pattern in. I didn't expect that the teacher really has a clue."
Jiang Chen didn't expect that He Yanya's email to Academician Zhang was actually about helping him analyze the system document. He paused for a moment before catching up with her.
He Yanya acted quickly and found the laptop in the office that had run out of battery and shut down automatically. After charging it, he opened his email immediately. Sure enough, there was an unread email from Academician Zhang.
She immediately moved the mouse and opened the email.
The spinning circle on Jiang Chen's screen actually looked a bit tense.
He intuitively felt that if the email before him really did find some clues, then he might not be far from finding the system and He Qianjian, or the purpose of the system appearing in this world and on this earth.
