Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 382 Don't use ordinary people's IQ to speculate
Flint Center, Backstage Lounge.

"Media is an extension of people!"

Lu Fei crossed his legs and held a cup of coffee in his right hand, calmly accepting interviews from the media in the IT circle.

"kindle will become the vanguard of tablets replacing physical books. It will not be disturbed by the glare of the screen light. It can carry hundreds of books anytime and anywhere. It can be used as a dictionary..."

Balabala said a lot, and when the interview came to an end, she gave Zhang Tianmei a look.

She quite tacitly handed over the envelopes she had prepared to the reporters.

They opened it and glanced at it. There was a thick stack full of small bills, no more, no less, $200 in cash, and the key was that there was no need to declare taxes.

"Lu, I think kindle will be as revolutionary a product as lmusic, and it will definitely amaze the world!"

"Haha, borrow your auspicious words."

Lu Fei put down his cup, and sent the person out the door with a smile on his face, and happened to bump into Ballmer with a big belly.

"Hey, Lu."

He exchanged a few polite words, and then said that the first half of the press conference was good, but the second half was bad, and the bad was naturally caused by the Kindle.

"To tell you the truth, when I saw your stuff, I didn't have the same feeling when lmusic was released. When MP3 was released, I was thinking in my heart, 'I bought it, fortunately Microsoft didn't compete with you, otherwise I would have to be you Kick ass'."

Lu Fei was not annoyed either, "You think the Kindle is not good?"

"Netbooks and stylus tablets are the mainstream, and Gates thinks so."

Ballmer raised his chin, "Microsoft's stylus input method solution will become the new standard, and there will definitely be tablets equipped with stylus in the future. Either what Gates and I predicted is correct, or Microsoft's tablet will die. deal."

Good prophecy, don't prophesy next time.

Lu Fei had a faint smile: "Steve, how about we make a bet on whether the Kindle will sell well?"

"How to bet? What is the bet?"

Ballmer suddenly became interested, and he swallowed the entire table on the spot, as the Kindle tablet could sell 10 units by the end of the year.

Anyway, the advantage is in me!

…………

As soon as the press conference of the new logic machine was over, Rizio rushed back to Apple headquarters without stopping, shaking off all the spying information.

Jobs took over the sketch they had drawn, which showed a Kindle-like tablet computer with rounded corners and rounded edges. A man casually held it with his left hand, and his right index finger sometimes touched the screen and sometimes pressed the keyboard.

"Wow, Huaxia Lu just took it to read e-books?"

"Damn, die, stupid! Very, very, very wasteful!"

Riccio looked like he hated iron but steel.

"Ahaha, it's not just stupid, it's stupid. God gave him a pair of hands to play the piano, but he went to pick up trash."

Jobs smiled with red light on his weak and pale face, and green light from his eyes: "So we must not be like him, we must make good use of it."

"Uh, Steve, you mean..."

Jonathan Ivey couldn't help thinking that Apple copied Xerox's graphical interface.

"Don't be ashamed, okay?"

Jobs adjusted his glasses, and said in a gentle manner: "Ivy, I have the artist's cleanliness and aloofness just like you, but we should not be ashamed to steal all creative inspiration. Picasso once said that excellent artists imitate , great artists steal."

"I am very much in favor!"

Riccio smiled and said, "Steve, do you want me to have someone start drawing the design on the Kindle right away?"

"Not in a hurry, not in a hurry."

Jobs looked at the sketch, paced back and forth for a while, and muttered to himself:
"We can't just be satisfied with e-books and music like Huaxia Lu, but we must also be able to browse web pages, emails, photos, and videos. If so, the screen will be too small. Why don't we remove the keyboard?"

"Remove the keyboard?" Riccio's eyes lit up, "Like lmusic3, also prepare an on-screen soft keyboard?"

"On-screen soft keyboard?"

Jobs was confused, when he saw Jonathan Ivey decisively handing over the sketch of lmusic3, he suddenly became enlightened.

"fuxk!"

He couldn't help blurting out, he had already foreseen the ending of ipod4 being overthrown by lmusic3 in his mind:

"Where the hell did he get so much inspiration! These ideas must not be thought of by him alone, check, find out who is logical, and hire them all with high salaries!"

"I'll let Cook do it later."

Riccio shifted the conversation back to the tablet computer, and asked how to design the next step to get rid of the expensive and bulky keyboard?

"Not only the function of the keyboard, but also concentrate all functions and designs on the screen."

Jobs regarded the sketch as a full-screen tablet computer, touching and tapping, demonstrating what he thought, "Can it be done?"

Rizio said: "I have sent people to check, Huaxia Lu is using a technology called 'multi-touch'..."

Jobs said with a stern face: "Find out which company you are working with, and buy it, at any cost!"

"That, that, Steve, has been preempted by logic, but almost all companies that focus on touch technology have been acquired, and even New York University, which proposed this technology, has also cooperated in an exclusive patent project."

Riccio said with a look of embarrassment: "Huaxialu now monopolizes this technology, either it is authorized, or we take the lead..."

"Fuxk! I don't like Huaxia Lu, and now it surpasses the fucking Bill Gates."

Jobs cursed and ordered the secret project to search for feasible multi-touch solutions, the scope of which was global!

Riccio asked, "Steve, the tablet project doesn't have a code name yet. What is it?"

"Tablet, tablet, of course it's called iPad."

Jobs squinted his eyes, "New grudges, old ones, I'll figure it out with strokes and logic in the future."

"ipad? After our ipad1 is born, let Lu see how much he is wasting God-given creativity!"

Riccio said sullenly: "I don't know if there will be a next generation of Kindle at that time? Jie Jie Jie~"

…………

"One of the difficulties with writing articles about Logic's products is that they are often accompanied by hype, and another difficulty is that sometimes the hype is real."

"After the era of color screens, lmusic has once again opened up new horizons, and the era of touch screens is about to come."

"It's not worth it from a distance, but I fell in love with it immediately when I saw it up close: I want a kindle too!"

"Those who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world can really change the world. They are talking about Huaxia Lu!"

"Can kindle end the era of physical books?"

"..."

The media that received the public relations fee is quite powerful, and they are promoting at full speed, from people to products, appearing frequently in newspapers and TV networks.

Lu Fei closed the "Time" magazine, threw the magazine on the table, and asked:

"How's the pre-sale going?"

Guo Xing euphemistically said that he had mixed feelings, but he was happy that the pre-sale sales of MP3 were as high as ever.

There are as many as 16 units on the two platforms of Amazon and Newegg. Offline Wal-Mart, Kaishike and other large supermarkets are also actively asking for goods. The situation is very good.

The worry is still the kindle, Amazon, as the launch platform, pre-sold 8 units, and only 1.57 pre-orders in one day.

"Don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while."

Lu Fei pursed his lips, squinting his eyes at the page of the international website of Singularity Novels displayed on the computer.

At that time, the number of visits was rising steadily, and the click rate of "I am the Archmage" was also high, because it was deliberately opened with Kindle at the launch of the new phone, and under the spread of the promotional machine, the online article and website quickly became popular.

It may seem unintentional or intentional, and it may be true or false. There are frequent tabloids reporting that an addict is quitting Internet addiction because of watching "I am the Archmage", or that a hacker attacked the Singularity just to find the follow-up of "I am the Archmage" chapter……

The more it spread, the more mysterious it became, "I am the Archmage" successfully went out of the circle and entered the attention of American netizens.

University of California Berkeley.

Lai Jingping and Mike hooked up shoulder to shoulder, and on the way to the cafeteria, they heard a group of boys muttering "I am the Archmage" from time to time in twos and threes.

"I can understand that dude in the ring very well."

A young white man in a hat said: "I caught up with the latest chapter, mother fuxk, and besides wanting to buy tacos, I just wanted to find my old teacher and point to his nose and say, 'You used to think I could go to college, now I'm from Berkeley!"

"Yeah, this book is so exciting, when will there be a physical book, so I don't have to sit in front of the computer to read it."

Another young man curled his lips: "It's not good to stay up all night every day. If my grades decline, I will be miserable."

"This book is bound to be popular when it's released, but it's a pity it's still being serialized, fuxk, it's really painful to follow!"

The white man in the hat said indignantly: "I really want to find out that translator, that 'renwoxing (let me do)' guy, lock him in a small dark room, and force him to translate every day."

Lai Haiping touched his nose in embarrassment, it's none of my business, I finished translating it so early!

He was sitting on the side with a dinner plate, only to hear the young man suddenly say: "Actually, I have already done the flipping. I heard that there is a complete set of complete novels on the Kindle newly launched by Logic."

The white man in the hat was taken aback, "Real?"

"Hehe, "I Am the Archmage" is written so stupidly, Luthor is the only one who likes to read it."

At this moment, the man wearing glasses diagonally across from Lai Haiping sneered coldly, belittled in a few words.

"The author of this book is a Luther, and the translator of this book is also a cultural person who lost his conscience. Eating corn can make you invincible. It is an insult to Western fantasy."

"Fart! This is art, this is literature, you are not allowed to slander him, let alone the person who worked so hard to translate."

Before Lai Haiping had an attack, Mike immediately stepped forward to fight for his roommate.

The white man in the hat echoed: "That's right, in my fucking opinion, after 'I Am the Archmage' blows up 'Harry Potter', a kid wielding a stick is simply lowering our IQ!"

"My dear, you guys actually watch "I am the Archmage"?"

Suddenly someone joined the battle, with a cross hanging around his neck, and babbled: "This book should be banned, go to hell, go to heaven, and soak in angels. , should be judged!"

All of a sudden, the noise continued to spread, talking about "I am the Archmage" from time to time.

That situation is the same as discussing which novel is the classic when I was discussing with my classmates in my previous life.

Lai Jingping felt like sitting on pins and needles, arguing about a woolen thread, and arguing about it would cause her vest to fall off.

Once the vest of "Let me do it" is exposed, it will be a big shame, and the society will die if it is not guaranteed.

After all, shouting "Don't bully the young and poor" and shouting "My life is up to me" is so embarrassing that I can pick out three rooms and one living room.

"Lai, why pull me, I can still fight him for another three hundred rounds."

Reluctantly, Mike was forcibly taken from the cafeteria to the dormitory by Lai Jingping.

"Ahaha, I want to see if the Kindle has been shipped?"

Lai Jingping laughed, and quickly logged on to Amazon, and saw the pre-sale column on the Kindle page. Three days ago, there were 5 units that could not be sold, and now there are less than 2 units left.

In the end what happened?
Is it because of "I am the Archmage"?
　Thanks for the 1500 starting coins of CityU, which has nowhere to be placed
