Chapter 481 Can I Refuse?

"ah-"

Chris, who was wearing holographic glasses, screamed, which scared everyone in and outside the exhibition area.

What’s going on?

"Wow - JM刂 - Oh my God - this is incredible -"

Chris walked around the carefully decorated exhibition area in a startled manner wearing holographic glasses, and even made some weird movements from time to time, giving people the feeling of seeing a ghost.

"Is this guy sick?"

"No way, he looked normal just now."

"But look at him now, walking around with glasses on and making strange noises from time to time, what could he be if not sick?"

“Could it be the glasses?”

“Well, maybe the effect is too realistic.”

“Is WeChat’s augmented reality technology already that powerful?”

"Look, he's gesturing with his hands over there. What is he doing?"

"I have heard about this before. I heard that WeChat's products are all controlled by gestures."

"Oh my god, is this true? This is amazing!"

"Isn't it? The application range of gesture control is too wide. WeChat is simply going against the sky."

There was a lot of discussion inside and outside the exhibition area, it was really bustling.

Fengjiu followed Zhuang Ziqing and Long Wu, standing in the crowd, listening to everyone's discussions, but her mind was in a mess.

"Miss, what on earth are they talking about? Why do they feel so powerful?"

It's really confusing.

Zhuang Ziqing smiled bitterly. She had accompanied Yang Huan to the WeChat Research Institute several times and had tried it herself, but the feeling was indescribable and only those who had experienced it personally could understand.

"elder sister"

A hand suddenly reached out from behind and placed it on Zhuang Ziqing's shoulder.

The latter was startled and turned around, only to see that it was his handsome little brother.

"Zicheng, you scared me to death"

Zhuang Zicheng laughed and said, "Sister, look who's here!"

It was only then that Zhuang Ziqing noticed that besides Zhang Ning, there was also Minister Li.

"Uncle Li," Zhuang Ziqing was surprised, "Why are you here?"

This is the leading figure in the next core leadership team, and he is here too?

It seems that the government is determined to vigorously develop high-tech

"I heard you were here, so I came to see you." Minister Li laughed.

He has a very good relationship with Zhuang Mingyang, and naturally regards Zhuang Ziqing and Zhuang Zicheng as his juniors.

When Mr. Zhuang celebrated his birthday, although he did not attend due to his status, he still sent a generous gift, enough to make everyone aware of his relationship with the Zhuang family.

"Zicheng, is this the new product you developed?"

Zhuang Zicheng nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Li, that person is wearing augmented reality glasses, which can display the virtual world based on the real world, and the big guy over there is a virtual reality helmet."

Minister Li said "oh" and nodded continuously.

"What are the selling points of your two products? How is the quality? How is the price? Will they be popular?"

Minister Li's questions all hit the nail on the head about the key issues of high-tech products.

Zhuang Zicheng seemed very confident. "Uncle Li, whether it's virtual reality technology or augmented reality technology, it's no big deal. They've been developed and put into use a long time ago."

"Yeah, I've heard of this."

"The biggest breakthroughs of our two products come from two aspects."

"Oh? Tell me about it," Minister Li nodded with interest.

“The first thing is to solve the civilianization problem.”

Without waiting for Minister Li to ask questions, Zhuang Zicheng continued speaking.

"The technology is nothing new, and our hardware is nothing too advanced. It's all disassembled. All the parts are easily available on the market. We just put them together."

Minister Li was still very interested, "This is not easy."

The government officials around nodded. Anyone who knew a little about this market knew that this was the key factor.

"Take the iPhone for example. It has been disassembled and all its parts are easily available on the market. There is nothing new about it. But Apple has assembled a smartphone that is selling well all over the world. It is obvious that it does not matter whether the technology is advanced or the parts are high-tech."

"Yes," Zhuang Zicheng nodded, "We not only use ordinary parts on the market to assemble our products, but more importantly, we are the first company in the world that can control the cost to within four hundred dollars, or even three hundred dollars. For companies like Sony, their costs are currently difficult to control within one thousand dollars, and their product technology is not as good as ours."

Zhuang Zicheng's words suddenly made everyone's eyes light up.

Four hundred dollars?

That is the field of electronic products that the general public can afford and consume.

In other words, this has been civilianized.

"Okay, okay, okay." Minister Li was also a little excited.

From the hot sales of Apple products, it is not difficult to see how important a high-tech product that sells well all over the world is.

Moreover, the application scope of virtual reality and augmented reality is so wide.

Once these two technologies are civilianized, what amazing changes will it bring to the country?

"Zicheng, since the hardware is so simple, does that mean it can be easily copied?"

When Minister Li mentioned being copied, everyone burst into laughter.

It's time for foreigners to copy our products.

Awesome, isn’t it?

Zhuang Zicheng also smiled slightly, "This has to do with our second breakthrough, which is software technology and the construction of the entire ecosystem."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Minister Li nodded again in appreciation. "Apple's products are not just based on hardware, but also on their software ecosystem. This is their core competitiveness."

Everyone around nodded again.

"In the past two years, our WeChat Research Institute has invested so much money in these two projects, recruited so many talents from all over the world, and even established a company in Silicon Valley in the United States just to carry out development in this area."

"For example, gesture control, dizziness issues, enhanced images, etc., all of these have been well resolved."

Minister Li kept nodding and smiling as he listened, and seemed quite satisfied.

"We are providing on-site experience and observation at this exhibition. Next, we will start to launch the developer version, which is our first step in building an ecosystem."

"Good, very good," Minister Li applauded. "The plan is clear and the prospects are promising."

At this moment, in the exhibition area, the reporter named Chris had taken off his holographic glasses and stood there dumbfounded, looking at everything around him in disbelief.

It felt as if what he had just seen was from another world entirely.

"I just walked around the city, the coffee shop, my sofa at home, and Mars. Do you believe me?"

Chris's words immediately made everyone present explode.

"Oh my God, is he talking nonsense?"

"How is that possible? Look at his expression, he is so impressed."

"It seems that the product of WeChat Research Institute this time is quite powerful. We have to try it out later."

“Yes, you must try it.”

"Hurry up, there's already a long queue over there."

Many people in the crowd didn't care about watching the fun anymore and ran over frantically to line up.

Yang Huan looked at Chris with a smile, "How is it? How do you feel?"

"It's so lifelike and realistic, just like the special effects in the movies."

Yang Huan burst out laughing when he heard this. Aren’t these demonstration videos made by a movie special effects company?

"Then try the virtual reality helmet and see how it works."

After hearing this, Chris ran over without hesitation.

Five minutes later, the American reporter came back dejectedly, his once proud head now almost hanging down to his chest.

Everyone could see that what he had experienced today was too much of a blow to him.

The myth of American high-tech, which was once so high and mighty, was completely shattered at this time. Who wouldn't be frustrated?

"How do you feel?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Chris took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Yang Huan, "I lost"

Everyone present was stunned.

"I accept defeat wholeheartedly, so I take back my arrogant and ignorant words just now. I sincerely apologize to you and everyone present. I'm sorry."

As he said this, he bowed and apologized solemnly to Yang Huan and everyone around him.

The American's move won applause from everyone present.

Everyone can feel that his apology is sincere.

"Mr. Yang Huan, I will go back and prepare the manuscript now. I will definitely write down my experience today and everything I have seen here in my manuscript tomorrow. I will fulfill my promise."

Yang Huan shrugged, smiled and stretched out his hand, "From now on, I will be your friend."

Although Chris was arrogant and even a little bit arrogant, at least he is a man who knows how to correct his mistakes and is willing to admit them. Such a person is worth making friends with.

"Thank you, thank you." Chris was completely convinced.

Not only for the products of WeChat Research Institute, but also for Yang Huan's demeanor.

When the two shook hands, there was another round of warm applause from the audience.

Minister Li and others did not go in until Chris left.

"Well done, Yang Huan, you are really great."

When Yang Huan saw it, wow, it turned out to be Minister Li who would sit firmly in the second seat in the core power in the future?

"Minister Li, why are you here?"

Minister Li walked over with a smile on his face and patted Yang Huan's shoulder vigorously, with the eyes of an elder looking at a younger person, full of appreciation and affirmation.

"Of course I have to come, you know? I don't know how many people I have heard mention you in Beijing. Some of them praised you highly, but some people had a lot of opinions about you. But today, I saw it all here, and I only have one word for you, good."

It's just a simple word, but it contains endless meanings and is very meaningful.

"Thank you, Minister Li," Yang Huan said with a smile.

"You have nothing to do today?"

"No, what's the matter?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

"That's good. You'll just accompany me today and walk around the exhibition. How about that?"

Looking at the smiling Minister Li, Yang Huan smiled bitterly in his heart. Conscripting men? Can I refuse?

The answer is no.

"Now, I can't wait to try your product to see if it's really as magical as the American reporter just said."

Having said that, Minister Li walked directly to the exhibition area.

The bet between Yang Huan and Chris just now has already attracted countless people attending the exhibition to gather around the WeChat exhibition area.

Now, as soon as Minister Li arrived, almost everyone in the exhibition hall gathered here.

Especially when the developer team agreed upon by WeChat Research Institute arrived, the scene was packed with people and it was very lively.

Just across the aisle, on the other side was the WeChat exhibition area, which was so crowded that it was difficult to enter even if you threw water on it. However, on their side, it was deserted, with no one in the room. This made the few people who had just run over to ridicule the WeChat employees feel very depressed.

Especially that Xiao Chen, who just said he wanted to count how many people came to visit, but now...

"Oh my god, it's like an ant nest, how can I count them?"
