Reaching out and fumbling at the head of the bed, Ugo Gonzalez found the phone and unlocked it to light it up.

On the screen that suddenly lit up, the time number "11:07am" was very conspicuous, and he was slightly stunned.

Blinking to make sure he was not mistaken, he yawned and sat up.

Moving his ears, there was a faint sound of rain outside the window, and I thought that it was this spring morning rain that made him sleep for a few more hours.

Although the Spaniards are used to going to bed late and waking up late, it is a bit late to sleep until 11 o'clock. Fortunately, he is now a freelancer, so he doesn't have to worry about being criticized and fined by his boss or supervisor for being late for work, and getting up early and getting up late does not have much impact. And now I get up and go downstairs, the café outside is just open, and it is good to have breakfast directly in the morning.

Putting on his pants, Ugo walked to the bedroom window and pulled the curtain open to let the sound of the rain into the room.

Looking down at the balcony flower pot, the two pots of hyacinths have been washed by the rain, the fat leaves are shiny and moist, and the flowers in the leaves seem to be a little bigger than yesterday.

After taking a deep look at Barcelona in the rain for a while, Ugo turned back to his room and opened his closet to look for his shirt.

It wasn't long before he walked out of the house in a leather jacket and jeans, and out into the street with an umbrella.

The rain was getting quieter, and a bright light could be faintly seen in the southeastern sky, which was the sun hidden behind the dark clouds.

The longitude of the Spanish mainland is close to that of the United Kingdom, but the time in the 1st Eastern Zone is ingeniously chosen as the standard time. It's actually okay now, when March passes and the country enters daylight saving time, the clock will be an hour faster.

On the eve of World War II, General Franco, with the help of the German Führer, won the civil war and established his rule. In order to show his admiration for the Führer, he asked the Spaniards to turn up the clock and switch to Berlin time in the 1st East arrondissement. After the end of World War II, the Führer fell and committed suicide, but Franco, who was good at taking sides, survived until 1975, and his long rule of 36 years left a lot of "legacies" for the country, such as a fast-growing economy, a suffocating dictatorship, and a clocks that went faster by an hour.

Although the clock is artificially fastened, the influence of the height of the sun on people's work and rest cannot be erased, coupled with some climatic, cultural and economic factors, more and more Spaniards are accustomed to eating five meals a day: breakfast, morning tea, lunch, dinner, and supper.

Naturally, it is impossible to solve the problem at home for five meals a day, otherwise just washing dishes can exhaust individuals. Like those office workers, Ugo chooses to eat in street cafes or small restaurants, and you can see places selling food everywhere on the street, as long as you are stuck on time, you don't have to worry about finding a place to eat.

After asking the café owner for a cup of coffee and a double bread fried sausage set, Ugo sat down at random and read the newspaper while listening to the sound of the rain.

There was a copy of the "Pioneer" on the table that others had not taken away after reading it, and at the top was the sports headline of Barcelona's loss to Malaga, although he already knew the news last night, and now he saw the black and white words, he still couldn't help but read the newspaper.

"Hey, I apologized," Ugo couldn't help but nod after reading Sandro's tweet of apology. The apology was made to the Catalans of the land, which made Ugo, a member of the latter, feel much better. As for the defeated Barcelona, he didn't pay attention to it, there are still 14 rounds of the league, and the team has every chance to eliminate the impact and win the championship. As long as you don't lose to a team at the top of the table, a Champions League qualification or even a league title, things won't be too bad.

Flipping through the sports version, the next thing that appeared in front of him was the technology version, most of which were related to the communication conference that officially opened today.

"Samsung, Huawei, Bee, LG, Vivo, ......", his eyes swept over the newspaper, and all kinds of Asian mobile phone brands were in sight, although he had long been used to it, Ugo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Excluding the indisputable Spanish local brands, there are still so many world-famous mobile phone brands in Europe, but unfortunately they have all become yesterday's yellow flowers. France's Alcatel, Sweden's Ericsson, Finland's Nokia, these once world-famous manufacturers have sold their mobile phone businesses, giving up the market to Americans and Asians.

He also knew the news that Nokia had taken back the mobile phone brand and formed a new company to make a comeback, but he was not optimistic about them. Times are different, and it is not easy for the lost market to recover. Needless to say, manufacturers like Apple and Bee with their own systems are giving up on them is "giving up the world", and those Android manufacturers are also working hard to create exclusive services and special experiences to maximize the migration cost of users.

Pulling out his bee phone6, Ugo took a picture of the newspaper page and sent it to Silenciador with his brief emotion.

It's hard to figure out why Bee named his SNS app after a scarf, but that doesn't stop Ugo from getting used to and liking the phone's built-in social services, even though its scarf icon and sweater animation look a little too feminine.

The sweater needles flew up and down, and the page quickly refreshed, and Ugo looked at the reply message under his scarf. Skipping the occupants and asking how he got up, his gaze stayed on one question, "Are you going to visit MWC?"

Ugo is a game streamer who specializes in various mobile games and has more than 100,000 followers, with a maximum of 20,000 people watching his streams at the same time. In a country with a large population, such a figure is not enough to look at, but after all, Spain has a population of only 46 million, of which less than 8 million are Catalans, and tens of thousands of these people can watch him perform, which is enough to make Ugo proud.

Catalan, or Catalonia, is a region in northeastern Spain close to France and the Mediterranean, because of its developed economy and culture, and many conflicts with the central government in history, it has long developed a sense of regional consciousness and national spirit, and then has always wanted to be independent. In Barcelona, although there are slightly more Spanish speakers, there are also quite a few people who pride themselves on speaking Catalan.

And this is one of the reasons why Ugo admires bees, as long as it is a major language that is spoken by more than 5 million people, the bees will take the initiative to provide full support. Not only does it continue to launch new language versions of the Bee system, but it also actively encourages developers to release corresponding translations, and the integrity of the app ecosystem is even better than relying on the market's spontaneous Android and iOS.

After thinking about it, he picked up his phone and whispered, "Of course, I'm a fan of bees, how can I not go to the scene to see it?"

Although he didn't have the opportunity to go to the scene, he still brought his audience to watch Bee Mobile's pre-show press conference last night. When Bee took out 5 "wireless" concept mobile phones for charity auction, he also bid so many times, but unfortunately the price quickly broke through the sky, and finally became a stage for local tyrants to show off their financial resources, and he could only watch from the sidelines, and then use these devices to comfort himself.

After finishing his lunch, Ugo paid the bill and left, holding his umbrella and walking towards the nearest subway station.

Disembark at the EuropaFira station and he soon arrives at the Fira GranVia exhibition hall above.

It may be that everyone went out for lunch and then took a lunch break, or it could be due to the weather, in short, the popularity in the exhibition hall is not too strong, and there is no news full of people on the screen. However, it was also convenient for Ugo, who easily found the main exhibit area of bees.

There are many light blue tables in the shape of "0" and "1", decorated with delicate bonsai decorations. Ugo's gaze swept over it, and then he was drawn to the various exhibits.

At yesterday's pre-show press conference, Bee did not release a new mobile phone, but took out a laptop and e-book reader without doing a proper job, which also shocked a lot of eyeballs. The notebook is naturally a BBQ ultra-thin notebook that has been exposed, and this is a press conference to make up for the shortcomings, while the e-book reader is the first product created by Bee for the first time in a new category.

E-book readers based on E-ink screens were popular for a while, and when the iPad led the tablet trend, reader products that only supported black, white and gray display quickly became obsolete. Although the Amazon kindle, which has a massive library and is not expensive, still sells the best, it is no longer as brave as it used to be, and a considerable number of users have returned to pick up paper books.

Bee chose to release its first "ColorReader" reader product called "beyond printing" at this time, but the timing was quite delicate.

Ugo was still a little confused, but when he saw the actual CR and the e-magazine at the bee booth, his doubts were instantly shattered. With a new generation of screens, it was completely logical for Bee to launch a color reader.

The advantage of the reader is that it has a long battery life with low power consumption, and the disadvantage is that the color is monotonous, and it cannot display color photos and videos well, which is why it is beaten by low-end tablets.

The latest fifth-generation butterfly screen perfectly solves this problem, the resolution of the new screen has surged several times, and the brightness and contrast have also been significantly improved, looking more natural and vivid. Even if it's still not as bright as the active glowing liquid crystals and LEDs, it's okay to surpass paper prints, at least paper books are not easy to achieve simultaneous sound, instant translation, and embedded in animated videos.

As for the relatively weak book copyright issue of Bee, they also solved part of it by co-opting fashion magazines. Because of the variety of pictures, fashion magazines have always been excluded from readers, and can only publish apps for mobile phones/tablets, only to be inundated with millions of apps and develop less than expected. The magazine company suffered deeply, and the two sides could be said to hit it off, and the first release of Bee CR could bring hundreds of well-known magazines, and the reason is also here.
