“…… We have always had the dream of changing the world with technology, or greatly improving the efficiency of human beings, or greatly facilitating human life, or providing a new entertainment experience......"

Lin Qi stood on the podium, on the big screen behind him, all kinds of pictures and videos kept appearing, these are the materials prepared by the staff, and, according to Lin Qi's live speech, the computer operators behind the scenes quickly switch pictures, texts or videos that fit the theme of the speech, and sometimes, background music will be played.

With the cooperation of those materials on the big screen, Lin Qi's speech is particularly vivid and full of futuristic atmosphere.

"We don't have the ability to do what we did in a science fiction movie, and launch unprecedented technology overnight. In reality, every bit of technological progress requires a lot of inspiration and effort. Until the product came out, we weren't sure if people needed it, and we weren't sure if it would actually work. However, we naively and persistently believe that there are some new things that everyone really wants, and they do have the potential to bring some changes to the world......"

In fact, Lin Qi's live speech is already very sci-fi in this era. At least, Jobs looked straight and said in his heart that this way of speaking should be studied hard. As for this complete set of solutions for the new start-up electronics company, Jobs has decided that it must be introduced!

With the introduction of these devices, the atmosphere of the speech is more full of science and technology. The sense of ritual brought by introducing the product in person is even far better than asking for celebrity endorsements!

"I have a little thing in my pocket, and it comes from a small invention in our lab!"

Lin Qi took out a small object from his pocket - even a traverser would feel that this thing was a little strange and difficult to understand what this thing was. Even if you tell someone that this is a USB flash drive, it is estimated that you must expose the USB port and plug it into the computer to be convincing. Because, the later USB flash drive is small and exquisite, about the same length as a finger, and Lin Qi's current USB flash drive is about the size of an adult's slap. Although it is a bit bulkier than the USB flash drive in the future, it is indeed a USB flash drive!

That's right, it's this thing, the U disk is not very technical, and even, in the 80s, it could be made.

The chip of the U disk is mainly flash memory, and flash memory is a variant of memory. A memory power outage will lose data, while flash memory will not, unless the user deletes the data themselves. It is manufactured in a similar way to memory, and the cost is relatively expensive.

For a long time, flash memory was a new type of storage that did not gain popularity, because it was fast enough to read data, but it was expensive.

However, flash memory has the advantages of small size, long life, no noise, fast speed, etc., and these advantages are irreplaceable in some occasions. For example, in the early 90s, digital cameras began to use flash memory, a high-performance storage element, to store the photos taken. Because digital cameras are high-end products, they use flash memory.

And the USB flash drive was not invented until the end of the 90s, mainly because, but also because of technological progress, the price of flash memory chips was reduced.

Lin Qi launched the U disk in the 80s, mainly to occupy this pit first, at the beginning of the high-end market, after that, the low-end market is not ready to do it himself, but to license the technology, let other manufacturers do U disk, new start-up electronics companies to collect patent fees and sell the core flash memory chips, earn the most lucrative part of it, there is no need to thankless pursuit of monopoly.

"As you know, our Pangu host has a lot of USB interfaces, these interfaces are plug and play, basically, the hardware that can be plugged in, there is a high probability that it can be used, even if there is no driver, at most one driver can be used. Mouse, keyboard, printer, CD drive, and all kinds of devices can be connected through the USB interface. In fact, there are still many convenient and quick ways to use the USB interface, which have not been excavated, such as ...... USB flash drive!" Lin Qi showed the gadgets in his hand and said, "Actually, you don't even need to have an optical drive or floppy drive, as long as the computer has a USB interface that meets our technical standards, you can insert a USB flash drive! At present, although the storage capacity of a USB flash drive is very small, with a small capacity of 1MB, it is roughly the same as a floppy disk, but it is far more convenient than a floppy disk!"

Lin Qi showed the USB flash drive in his hand, pulled out the metal cap of the USB flash drive, and plugged it into the USB port of the computer.

"With a USB flash drive, you can quickly copy data from a computer that is smaller than an IMB to a USB flash drive. Lin Qi used the mouse to operate the Pangu computer with a graphical interface, and then the staff put another computer, "Then, we can find another computer and read the data copied from the previous USB flash drive on another computer...... It's simple, plug and play. It's easier to operate than a CD or floppy disk!"

"It looks like an Apple computer!"

"Yes!

The audience at the scene had sharp eyes and quickly recognized that the other computer was not Pangu, but - Apple's Macintosh!

"We have carried out a series of cooperation with Apple, so Apple's Macintosh computer not only uses the optical drive provided by Xinfei Electronics, but also uses the same standard USB interface as us, as long as your program is compatible on different platforms, then, you can do it like me......" Lin Qi copied an e-book on the Pangu computer, loaded it into the USB flash drive, and then unplugged the USB flash drive and inserted it into the USB port of the Macintosh computer, and then ...... The camera lens clearly captured the picture of the Macintosh computer screen, the handwriting in the book was clear, and Lin Qi kept turning the pages, so that the audience could see that the data that was admitted to the USB flash drive could be transferred to another computer for reading and operation.

"Isn't it easy?"

There was warm applause at the scene, and among the applauding audience was Apple's Jobs.

Although the USB flash drive seems to be inconspicuous, it only needs to have an idea to make something, but the key is that Xinchuang Electronics first thought of this idea and made it into a product.

Jobs nodded secretly, knowing that in terms of creativity, none of the world's high-tech industries could compare with New Venture Electronics.

If Xinchuang Electronics is an American company, it must have collapsed the IBM and PC compatible machine camp that has been fought a long time ago.

It is a pity that after all, a Chinese company of Xinchuang Electronics, because the gap between China's manufacturing industry and the United States is too large, so that its inventions and ideas are limited by the manufacturing process and cannot be too far ahead of the times.

At the same time, for the inconspicuous little thing of the USB flash drive, Jobs also secretly decided to buy a patent license to produce the Apple version of the USB flash drive.
