Chapter 186: Chen Xu, you bastard
In the evening, in a beautiful theme restaurant, three or five good classmates, as well as Shen Tunan, Chen Yiyi, and Chen Xu, celebrated Shen Yiqiu's 24th birthday.
Except for Chen Xu, a boy, the others were all girls.
Shen Yiqiu's female classmates saw Chen Xu for the first time and made fun of him, but no one asked him what he was doing, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.
Just as he was about to leave after dinner, Shen Yiqiu called, said nothing, and then secretly stuffed the phone into Chen Xu's hand while everyone was not paying attention.
Chen Xu saw that it was Shen Yiqiu's mother Wang Qin who called.
He glanced at Shen Yiqiu, wanting to ask her mother why she was calling him, but he knew that Shen Yiqiu deliberately pretended not to see it, and turned his head to chat with his classmates.
Chen Xu left his seat with his mobile phone.
After about 5 minutes, Chen Xu came back, stuffed the phone into the pocket of Shen Yiqiu's jacket hanging on the hanger, and pretended to be casual.
Shen Yiqiu became curious and wanted to ask what the two had talked about.
Chen Xuli ignored her, no matter how she glanced at her, it was useless.
When he left the hotel, Shen Tunan, who was rebelled, came over and asked, "Brother Chen Xu, my sister asked me to ask you, what did my mother tell you?"
After speaking, Shen Tunan muttered, "Hey, why is this so awkward?"
Shen Tunan looks silly and sweet, and his cute appearance of self-denial at this time is extremely cute.
Chen Xu glanced at the back of Shen Yiqiu, who was walking in front, and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, it's just some things in her company." ”
Shen Tunan let out an "oh", then thought about it and said, "By the way, Brother Chen Xu, I want to ask you a question." ”
"Well, you say. ”
"Is it really useless to learn English?"
Chen Xu asked as he walked, "Haven't you used Xinghai's translation software?"
Shen Tunan shook his head, "No, the price is too expensive." ”
"If you use it commercially, it should be fine......" Chen Xu said, then thought for a while and said, "You students' words... It should be that you haven't negotiated the license fee with Yan Da yet, but it should be soon, and you will know by experiencing it yourself. ”
Shen Tunan: "Tell me about it." ”
Chen Xu said: "I think... I can't say it's completely useless.
If you plan to work in a job that requires a strong English major, you can study international economics and trade, business administration, economics, computer science, etc.
In addition, some professional English translations are also needed in scientific research, after all, there are some unique noun translators that are not accurate in translation, and the rest are not necessary.
In the future, more than 95% of translation work can be replaced by Xinghai's translators and software.
Like those foreign language classics, books, papers, literature, etc., all can be converted into Chinese with one click.
In addition, Xinghai Technology is currently developing simultaneous translators, translation glasses, etc., and it will not take long to enter commercial applications, and you don't even need subtitle groups in the future, what you hear and see will be directly converted into Chinese.
Excuse me, what else do you need English for?"
"Oh too~" Shen Tunan said: "But the school has not canceled the English test,"
Chen Xu said: "There are too many things involved in English, and I will not cancel it for a while." ”
Shen Tunan seems to understand whether he understands or not.
After sending everyone back to school, Chen Xu also went back to sleep.
Here, Shen Yiqiu only remembered to open the gift after returning to the dormitory of the research institute.
The first one to open was Chen Xu's gift.
After all, she received a gift from Chen Xu for the first time today and wanted to see what he bought.
The first lipstick.
The brand is okay, but the color system is not what she likes.
The second is perfume.
CHANEL's Encounter series is too greasy.
The third fairy water.
Well, this one is ok.
In addition to these gifts, a beautifully wrapped gift is pressed under the box.
Shen Yiqiu took it out of the box, and the outer packaging said "Night Charm - Extreme Temptation Series Clothing".
"Clothes?" Shen Yiqiu pursed his lips and laughed, he didn't expect that straight man to know how to buy clothes for her, it was really the sun that came out in the west.
After unpacking, inside is a smaller flat box.
She opened the small box, and inside was a smaller flat box, about the size and thickness of a schoolboy's workbook.
Shen Yiqiu was unhappy.
What kind of clothes can you buy for such a big one?
Continue to dismantle, and finally you can see the clothes inside, it is a thin piece of cloth with black lace edges, spread out in a box, but what it is, because it has not been unfolded, I don't know yet.
Shen Yiqiu reached out and picked it up from the box and looked at it.
The face quickly turned from white to red, from red to black, and then from black to purple.
In the end, I couldn't help it, and said coquettishly: "Chen Xu, you bastard......"
……
……
As Chen Xu said, the scope of English translation is too broad.
Especially in major universities across the country, the promotion of Xinghai translation software has met with fierce resistance.
However, the demand for the introduction of Xinghai translation software is very high, such as scientific research experiments, writing English papers, archival translation, etc., which have a particularly wide range of needs, and the school has to face these demands.
Despite the backdrop of numerous opposition, the negotiations are still going on with difficulty.
Xinghai charges very low prices for Chinese university translations, less than one-third of the price of commercial applications, and it can almost be said that it only charges a server and the operating cost of labor.
However, it only includes non-commercial applications such as scientific research translation, paper translation, and archival document translation.
If the school or students use Xinghai translation software for commercial development, such as translating Chinese into foreign countries for sale, or translating foreign language newspapers and magazines into Chinese for distribution, etc., these are not allowed, Xinghai has the right to stop the service to the school and students, and file a lawsuit.
In addition, Xinghai Technology is preparing to build [Xinghai Think Tank], hoping that the paper databases of major universities can be connected to Xinghai Knowledge Database, which is also the reason why Xinghai charges low fees for university translation software.
There are also those foreign paper database websites.
But everything is still being negotiated.
Moreover, knowledge base websites such as CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang are also trying their best to obstruct and sabotage and prevent Xinghai's "conspiracy" from succeeding.
Xinghai's translation software is too lethal, and once a trend is formed, all those knowledge base websites will be closed.
How could they sit still?
Now there are treacherous waves under the water, and the interests of all parties are fighting fiercely.
In addition, Xinghai is also making every effort to develop the domestic commercial application market.
Xinghai Translation Software Agency, Authorization, Cooperative Development, Personal Applications, etc., with total sales of more than 5 billion yuan in November.
This is a very scary number.
You must know that in 2018, the total size of China's foreign language translation market was only about 40 billion ~ 50 billion yuan.
And what's even more terrifying is the profit ratio, which is no longer enough for outsiders.
With the rapid growth of Xinghai, various English materials, newspapers, and classics have sprung up in the market in recent months; in addition, Chinese translated books have also appeared in large numbers in overseas markets.
However, at least more than half of the translations have not been authorized by Xinghai, but secretly translated them privately through various channels.
In this regard, Xinghai is currently turning a blind eye.
In the early stage of market development, it will certainly not be so formal, and it all takes time.
At the same time, Xinghai is also actively exploring overseas markets.
At present, it has reached cooperation agreements with agents in many countries, and is developing the market in depth, and at the same time building an industrial chain around translation software.
……
Unlike Xinghai Translation Software, the Taixu game engine has hardly encountered any decent resistance.
After all, in the face of the big killer of anti-cracking, what game developer can resist?
Or what game developer would rather have a pirated version than a virtual engine?
No, not a single one.
As of November 30, 2019, the number of registered users of Taixu Engine has exceeded 5 million, and the number of active developers has reached a staggering 1 million, accounting for one-half of the total number of developers in the world.
And this number continues to climb.
In addition, 80% of the world's major game developers are in negotiation with Zhengfeng Games, mainly about the share ratio.
Some of the remaining giants are still trying to resist......
