Chapter 400 "Bolang Research" Conference Opening Press Conference
"It's finally the 19th. The scene of Bolang seems a bit big this time. I hope it will be like Apple's WWDC and create a momentum that makes the world wait and wait every year!"

"Microsoft has Microsoft build, Apple has WWDC, and Google just ended its Google I/O the day before yesterday. These top developer conferences organized by Aramco have influence on a global scale. Now our country finally has a company that has started to engage in global development. The developer conference is here, I hope that the first session of Bolang Research can open successfully!!"

"Yeah, yeah, but speaking of this, this year's Google I/O is really hip, the map update can be used as a dish, and an Android game platform... This is not the definition of Chaobolang terminal ? The mobile phone mentioned is only Samsung’s S4. After so long, it has not been able to catch up with Xinghai 1. It is also drunk to fry the cold rice of native Android. I am really looking forward to Bolang’s good performance. Over Android's limelight."

"Bolang can usually come up with some tricks. This time, from the official announcement to the holding date, it feels a bit hasty. It's a bit like trying to catch up with Apple's WWDC this year, and there is no gossip this time. , I don’t know what will happen.”

"There are always tablets. This thing has been mentioned for a long time. With the supply chain capabilities of Bolang Terminal, it should be able to be done easily. I guess it will mainly focus on the Star System and Scode. I haven't heard of any other aspects. information."

"Actually, I am looking forward to some big news, but the big news should not be revealed from developer conferences like Bolang Research, and the factory of Xingkong Semiconductor, which I am most looking forward to, is in Jiangxia. I drove over to see it in the past two days, and it is still in full swing. During the construction, the posture is really big, and the project changes every day."

"In any case, there is a live broadcast this time, and there is also a live broadcast of the entire conference for registered members of the Star Platform developers, just watch it."

"Wait..."

"..."

Despite the absence of a large-scale publicity campaign, the online discussion is still lively, and for some, it is a matter of pride for Bolang to hold a high-profile global developer conference.

They even expect BoLang Study to be on par with the three most well-known conferences in the world: WWDC, Microsoft Build, and Google I/O.

Although many of them have only played Guofeng Studio's mobile games at most, and they don't even use Xiaochengshu very much, but it doesn't prevent them from feeling proud from the bottom of their hearts.

of course……

It's not all the same voice on the Internet.

There are also some pessimistic ones, and even some extremely pessimistic ones.

Such as:

"What qualifications does Bolang have to hold a developer conference? The components of the star system are not clear. Maybe it's just an Android casing."

"Isn't it an upstart company that pays employees two extra dollars, doesn't even work overtime, and spends a little money thinking that it can equal the accumulation of decades in the Western world. It really doesn't make sense."

"Although there have been no technological breakthroughs in the past ten years, what chips and systems can be done with some authorization here and there and investment in funds, there is no technical difficulty, but it is not something that a company like Bolang can do! Now it is actually It’s really ignorant to hold a developer conference!"

"..."

There are quite a few such remarks, and there are people who make such remarks in every era.

Can't tell why.

Some of them may be really innocent, simply can't understand some things, and feel as if they are not worth mentioning without their own participation.

Some of them just received the dog food with a rhythm of resentment against the society.

Although in the 30s and [-]s, the public opinion position was well guarded, and the leaders were among them, but in the new century, the rise of the Internet and mobile Internet has driven the rapid development of self-media, but failed to guard the public opinion position very well. .

In fact, Xiaochengshu has been calling for this aspect, but there are many appeals that have not yet been answered.

In addition, the times have created a fragmented way of obtaining information, causing people to only be willing to obtain information in a fragmented way, and continue to filter out content that supports their own views in a fragmented form and firmly hold their views, and finally "until death".

Then it will be as Zhang San said: the poorer the knowledge, the more inexplicable courage and pride a person has, because the poorer the knowledge, the more absolute what you believe in, and you have never heard of it. This opposing point of view.

In a Duck effect summarized by Dunning Kruger, it is: 'If you are incapable, you will not know that you are incapable. '

In short, Bolang has not done anything yet, and some absolute opinions, some tit-for-tat remarks, and some melon-eating remarks have been formed on the Internet.

…………

…………

Unlike the previous mobile phone conferences, the start time of the "Bolang Research" meeting was set at ten o'clock in the morning instead of two o'clock in the afternoon.

Of course, the venue of the meeting is still in the Convention and Exhibition Center in Pazhou.

In fact, this can be regarded as a plan that cannot keep up with changes.

Wen Liang's original planning expectation was that the first global developer conference would be held on Bolang's own site, such as Bolang's headquarters building.

More ritual.

Now in order to cooperate with the business operation plan, it is understandable to hold it in advance and change the venue.

Under the enthusiastic discussion of some good netizens and developers, the time slowly approached 10 o'clock.

The main conference room of "Bolang Research" is full of voices, and developers and media from all over the world have gathered together.

In the case of many rehearsals, the ability of the on-site staff to maintain order is very good.

Although the scene was a bit noisy, it was not chaotic.

in Apple pie order.

For example, no one bothered Wen Liang and the others who had come to the scene and were sitting on the right side of the front row.

Wen Liangzheng smiled and teased Chen Jiaxin in a low voice: "Mr. Chen is finally more like a boss than me now. The outside temperature is 35 degrees today, and the body temperature is close to 40. He can still wear suits and shoes."

"I also want to be as unrestrained as Mr. Wen. I don't have that face." Chen Jiaxin replied unhurriedly, "It's not easy to be a representative. The company's image can't be ruined by my young and delicate face."

Wen Liang scanned Chen Jiaxin up and down: "... Tsk~ Xiao Chen is fine, now he doesn't blink his eyes when he talks."

"Boss Wen taught it well." Chen Jiaxin retorted happily.

While some background videos were still playing on the stage, the two were beeping.

In the end, Chen Jiaxin said a little thing: "This month, the city government will occasionally come to me to complain, mentioning that Yangcheng is not easy, and the pressure on the third-level finance is great, and it is mentioned explicitly and secretly that we will pay this year. In the end, only 60 billion yuan of value-added tax fell on Yangcheng’s head.”

"In and out of the words, I hope that the Bolang terminal can be more powerful, make more electronic products, and strive to make trillions in revenue a year."

"Don't dare to mention the 50% taken away by the national tax, and dare not mention the 25% taken away by the province, so you can only deliberately complain to me. I guess it's really hard to tell you."

Yangcheng is indeed a difficult city.

The total GDP is getting worse and worse than that of Pengcheng next door, and the financial revenue is still incomparable with Pengcheng. Pengcheng is a secondary finance, and value-added tax can now get 50%.

Yangcheng's three-level finance, the value-added tax is at most 25%, the corporate income tax is at most 20%, and the personal income tax is also at most 20%.

The secondary finance is 50%, 40%, and 40% respectively.

For a city like Yangcheng, it is clear at a glance how big the gap is between the inside and the outside.

This is also a report that Yangcheng will be drawn out of the first-tier cities every year.

Wen Liang teased a little: "I know, I have always known about Yangcheng's three-level finance. When financing, Yangcheng has to raise 50% of the ratio. How can I stop it? Now I'm thinking about complaining. It's really... Laughing at me. "

"And it's Yangcheng himself who doesn't live up to his expectations. If he has a temper, he's as good as the boss. A crying child doesn't even know if he has milk?"

"The unbalanced development of Guangdong, the big brother, needs to set an example. It is no problem to take care of the brothers who are backward in development. Find a way to pull Pengcheng down, and also have a third-level finance."

Chen Jiaxin was stunned when he heard this: "You really have a good idea. Eldest brother doesn't talk about second brother, at least I feel comfortable."

Wen Liang said casually: "In the economically developed cities in the entire Pearl River Delta, there is only Pengcheng's second-level finance, and Guanfo is also third-level. It's not fair. It depends on whether Yangcheng has the hard work."

"I understand when you say that." Chen Jiaxin showed a clear look on her face.

He is Bolang's only nominal contact with the government, and some things obviously can't just be listened to casually.

Now there is some pressure from Yangcheng, I hope Bo Lang can share his worries, Wen Liang's meaning is very clear, Bo Lang is also difficult, the ball is still for you to play.

Chen Jiaxin naturally knew what to do.

Wen Liang has always been very clear about Yangcheng's three-level finance. Anyway, he spent many years in Yangcheng in his previous life, but Yangcheng himself had to hold back, so Wen Liang couldn't take the initiative to bring it up.

Many times he has the confidence to handle Yangcheng because of these known things.

Bolang can do without Yangcheng, and Yangcheng really cannot lack the current Bolang.

With Bolang's current tax payment level, maybe his company can contribute more than 10% of Yangcheng's fiscal revenue. After all, Yangcheng's fiscal revenue was only 1100 billion last year.

Sounds exaggerated, right?

Say something more exaggerated.

The terrifying revenue of some giant companies can crush the GDP of countless countries.

such as:

苹果2021财年的营收为3658亿美元，能排到当年亚洲GDP的第16位、欧洲的第16位、非洲的第4位，大洋洲的第2位，全球的第40位。

This means that among the 187 sovereign countries with GDP statistics in the world, only 39 have annual GDP exceeding Apple's annual revenue.

In addition, Apple's fiscal year 2012 revenue was 1565 billion US dollars, ranking 56th in the global GDP ranking that year.

and so……

Bolang's future will be even more exaggerated.

In fact, there is also an important factor now. Bolang's overseas income tax payment has nothing to do with Yangcheng...

To sum up, it is understandable why Yangcheng deliberately complained to Chen Jiaxin, expressing pressure, implying that Yangcheng has a family to support Bolang.

…………

A countdown beep sounded at the venue.

In a moment of silence, Li Ze, whose shirt was tucked into his trousers, walked quickly to the stage: "Good morning, welcome to the first Bolang Research Conference."

"Today, more than 6000 participants came to the venue, thank you for your support for this conference."

"We have prepared more than 5 meetings in 150 days, and thousands of Bolang engineers will provide technical support for everyone..."

After saying this, Li Ze slightly turned towards the big screen: "It is unavoidable to talk about the Star app store. This platform, which is already considered the third largest smartphone app store, has surpassed Google's GMS in terms of monthly activity."

"To my surprise, the number of registered users has exceeded 7900 million, greatly exceeding the total number of Xinghai 1 mobile phones we have sold."

There was warm applause from the audience.

Li Ze paused at the right time, and then said in a high-spirited voice: "Thank you to consumers around the world for their love for Xinghai 1. As of 0:1 today, the total global shipments of Xinghai 7082 have reached [-] million units!"

Amidst the applause, Li Ze did not stop, and emphasized loudly: "There is no doubt that Xinghai 1 has become the world's best-selling smartphone in history!! Only 6 months after its release, it has become a milestone in the sales of a single model of smartphone! !"

The applause was mixed with warm cheers.

This is obviously an eye-popping achievement.

Everything is eclipsed by this sales data.

Xinghai 1 redefines excellence with its own excellence.

Li Ze kept pressing his hands, waiting for everyone to calm down, and then slowly said: "The activity of the Star App ecosystem shows its popularity. There is no doubt that the Star App Store has become the most abundant entertainment in fact. There is no such thing as an ecological platform!"

"We believe that in the future, global developers and friends will work with us to bring more colorful entertainment ecology to every user!"

"it is good!!!"

There were applause and cheers again.

Li Ze walked on the stage in a small area without rushing, and introduced calmly: "Today we talked about a lot of things, for example, we also brought you...Xinghai Tablet 1!"

A rendering surfaced on the big screen.

The industrial design method in the same strain as Xinghai 1, the appropriate size and roundness, once again gently touched the hearts of the audience.

Their first thought is: "I love you."

Li Ze introduced in a unique rhythm: "It is necessary to explain that on the Xinghai Tablet 1, we have finally solved the interface problem that was once very regrettable!"

"I believe that many friends in the industry already know that the USB3.0 promotion organization announced a new USB3.1 standard at the beginning of this year. This standard defines a new interface specification: Type-C, and it looks like this."

"Mom no longer has to worry about charging and plugging in backwards!"

"Thanks to Bolang's deep participation in the related work of USB specification standards, Xinghai Tablet 1 is the world's first mobile device using USB3.1 and Type-C interface specifications!"

Having said that, Li Ze looked back at the big screen: "I think everyone would like to see the internal structure of Xinghai Tablet 1."

"Wow~"

The audience gasped in amazement. There is no doubt that it is still a very comfortable industrial design layout.

It is also a machine without front buttons.

It is also a machine that highlights the sense of experience.

Li Ze gave a brief introduction to the hardware of Xinghai Tablet 1, and omitted the process of running scores, but only introduced some improvements compared with Xinghai 1.

It is mentioned that there is only a WiFi version, there is no version that supports mobile networks.

In particular, it was mentioned that there has been an upgrade on the chip, but it was specially sold out, saying that it will be introduced later.

This time there will be no comparison between friends and merchants.

Just as Apple's future, the less it compares its press conferences to the products of other companies, it is a kind of confidence.

Finally, Li Ze mentioned the key to the software: "Xinghai Tablet 1 will be equipped with Bolang's latest Star Tablet System 1.0, which is better than ordinary and excellent."

Then Li Ze briefly showed the interface of the tablet system, some fine-tuning details, etc.

Then released the corresponding English name.

The machine name is XingHaiPad1 and the system name is StarsPad1.0.

The naming method from the Chinese name to the English name means that Bolang Terminal has officially started the creation of the brand product series.

Both Xinghai and Xingchen will become an important label.

The hardware conference hosted by Li Ze was as fast as ever. He already made a gesture and said with a smile: "According to the usual practice, the overseas starting price will be announced first... Well, the overseas price of the 32G version is 669 US dollars."

"The 64G version is $769."

"The 128G version is $869."

The applause sounded like thunder again.

Although this price is $70 higher than the price of Apple's latest generation of iPad, but according to Bolang's pricing practice, everyone has clearly felt the fragrance of Xinghai Tablet 1...
