Chapter 150: Splash
IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2005, THERE WERE MANY MAJOR EVENTS, SUCH AS THE SUDDEN EXPLOSION OF A VIDEO SITE CALLED YOTUBE, WHICH UPLOADED ABOUT 40 MILLION SHORT VIDEOS IN JUST EIGHT MONTHS, ATTRACTING 6 MILLION VIEWS PER DAY, SURPASSING COMPETITORS SUCH AS MSNVIDEO AND GOOGLEVIDEO TO BECOME THE MOST VISITED WEBSITE OF THE CENTURY. For example, Xiao Lizi missed the Oscar again, and so on.
On June 12th, an ordinary day, Zhou Qingyuan was bored and enjoyed the scenery on the street in a commercial block in the imperial capital. In the past two years, the atmosphere has become more and more biased, and summer can be called the welfare of an otaku like him.
Zhou Qingyuan is 28 years old this year, and after returning from studying abroad, he worked in an IT company in the imperial capital. But his introverted personality and long hours of work make his life quite monotonous, but fortunately, the Internet has gradually become popular, and Zhou Qingyuan often spends his time in several popular forums. Bubble around really made him mix up some popularity, and he even became the moderator of a science and technology forum forum.
Who doesn't love something new? Zhou Qingyuan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, there was a hint of obsession in his eyes, he was so handsome! What he held in his hand was a black and white Nokia N90, which was a new model that had just been launched this year, and it took Zhou Qingyuan nearly 7,000 to get the parallel goods. Huge and heavy body, full of playable rotating shape, 2.1-inch 260,000-color TFT screen, resolution has reached 352Γ416 pixels! It also has a 2-million-pixel autofocus camera that has been certified by CarlZeiss optics and supports up to 2G expansion, which is a milestone for mobile phones. Zhou Qingyuan couldn't put it down and played with the big guy in his hand, he thought this was called technology!
The weather in the imperial capital in June is still very hot, although the scenery on the street is very good, but no one wants to be exposed to the sun for a long time. Zhou Qingyuan held his cutting-edge technology and walked into the Day7 commercial center next to him, ready to blow the air conditioner and dissipate the heat.
After five years of development, Day7 has already integrated entertainment, shopping and catering, and its scale has grown year by year. Good reputation, the cutting-edge of the trend, and goods at all levels of consumption have made it faintly synonymous with fashion among young people.
The cool cold wind dispelled the stuffiness in the air, and Zhou Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, his company was not far away, so he would come here for lunch almost every day, so he was quite familiar with this place.
Hey? Got a new store over there? Zhou Qingyuan looked at the newly opened store not far away with a little surprise, he remembered that it used to be a Nokia dealership, how could he say that it would be withdrawn? He's a big fan!
I don't know what it's selling, so he thought about it as he tightened the big man in his hand and walked over.
βVphoneοΌβ
Zhou Qingyuan stood in front of the door and looked at this inexplicable and wonderful logo and was a little confused, what brand of mobile phone is this? I've never heard of it at all.
"Hello sir."
The salesman said with a smile, her eyes glanced at the big man in the hand of the man in front of her, the expression on the little girl's face was as usual, and it was hard to say what she thought in her heart.
"Uh, oh hello." Zhou Qingyuan blushed, he was not good at dealing with beautiful women.
Ms. Zhang smiled, a 24-year-old who used to work in sales at a luxury store on the third floor. She received a training notice two months ago, and Zhang Min joined the training with some curiosity and some complaints. When she first met Vphone, she was dumbfounded, not only her, but everyone involved. They listened to the lecturer on the stage introduce its various functions one by one, and the first thing they did after experiencing it was to give me the same set!
"Do you want to buy a mobile phone? Our Vphone is the latest product to be released. β
Zhang Min smiled calmly, she didn't have any courtesy, except for a few staff members in the store, there was only Zhou Qingyuan, a customer, but they were not worried about sales.
New products? Zhou Qingyuan was a little unimpressed, he looked at the store, I have to say that the decoration style here is very good, the whole is mainly pure white, and several display cabinets with metallic luster stand in the center.
"Well, can you take a look?" There was a hint of anticipation in his heart, because the style here was so high. Simple, neat, but full of a sense of technology.
"Okay, please come over here." Zhang Min politely made an invitation gesture and led him to the showcase.
Zhou Qingyuan looked at the object on the silver metal table and rubbed his eyes, he wasn't sure what he was seeing, so he looked at Zhang Min with a somewhat sloppy gaze.
Zhang Min smiled and picked up the Vphone on the stage, gently pressed the home button to wake it up, and said while operating: "This is our latest product, Vphone, it has built-in 8g memory, 4-inch screen, 800x480 resolution, a 5 million pixel F/2.8 aperture camera on the back, 2 million pixels in front, CPU"
Zhou Qingyuan stupidly watched the little girl in front of him keep sliding on the object, operating. He blinked vigorously and pinched his arm again, am I dreaming now? Is it stupid to write a program?
"Ahh
Zhou Qingyuan screamed miserably, he pinched it hard just now. But this is not a dream!!
"Can I try it?" His eyes were staring at the Vphone in Zhang Min's hand like a hungry wolf.
Zhang Min pursed his lips and smiled and handed over the phone.
Zhou Qingyuan took it carefully, of course he understood the touch operation, but he didn't expect that one day it would appear in front of him silently. He slid the screen of his phone tremblingly, this smoothness! This precise touch! This feel!
moment
"How much?" He stared at Zhang Min viciously and asked, what kind of shyness is it at this time, beauty, all of them have been left behind by him. But he still had some worries in his heart, he was afraid that this woman would say a price that he couldn't afford.
Zhang Min didn't mind his performance either, and said with a smile: "Our Vphone comes in two colors, black and white, both priced at 6888"
"Smack." Zhou Qingyuan trembled and threw the bank card on the table, and said sharply: "Two of them!" Two of them! Both white and black!! β
"Okay," Zhang Min turned around and went through the formalities without surprise, they had expected this situation for a long time.
Vphone, no press conference, no publicity, no advertising, it just appeared in the prime location of the major Day7 business centers.
On June 12th, a small group of people went crazy.
Zhou Qingyuan hurriedly ran home with two boxes, his mood was very complicated now, and he was mixed with excitement. It was so rough that he wasn't prepared at all. Zhou Qingyuan even had an illusion, and time seemed to become blurred all of a sudden, because he had never heard of this kind of product.
He slowly opened the box and took out the black Vphone, which was as delicate as a work of art. As a flame lit up, swaying, the metallic font of Light&Hope flashed by. The whole process entered the operation interface without any sound.
Zhou Qingyuan hurriedly began to study, although it was the first time he came into contact with this operating system, he had a certain basic knowledge, and he quickly got started. In fact, the current vos does not have much operability, but it is certainly not comparable to Symbian, which is the definition of a smartphone.
Two hours later, Zhou Qingyuan opened the technology page of the forum and started to code words with an excited face.
After a while, an article titled "See for Yourself! Test it yourself! Super era of black technology mobile phone! The post was thickened and highlighted at the top.
The number of visits to this forum is quite large.,Everyone was shocked when such an undisciplined post suddenly appeared.,But the basics who come here to soak have a certain amount of knowledge.,Who can believe this thing when everyone laughs? It's either a water sticker or an exaggerated advertisement.
Netizens clicked in with the mentality of watching the excitement, and there were a few high-definition **** photos, followed by a photo of Zhou Qingyuan holding a Vphone and smiling like a chrysanthemum, and the following is a series of introductions.
Now everyone is blowing up.,There's a picture and the truth.,This is.,Let's not care if it's true or not that the moderator's grandson Balabala introduced.γ Just the appearance of the phone, the screen, and the camera made them very excited. So everyone was ready to find out, but Zhou Qingyuan actually locked the post and forbade replying!
How could the altar friends stand this grievance, so everyone began to brush the version.
"Moderator, is what you said true? Where did you buy it? How much? γ
"Zhou Qingyuan, you grandson, if you lie, you can look at it! γ
"Moderator, ask for the truth, is it okay to record a video?" Where did you buy it? γ
Zhou Qingyuan is even happier when he looks at the forum that turns the page in seconds, but the idea of recording a video is good! He began to ponder.
"Dididi"
His QQ began to explode, and several old friends scratched their ears and cheeks to ask for the truth.
The Internet in this era is far less accessible than in the future, Vphone only blew up a splash, but the thing is there, and everyone who knows it, has seen it, and understands it understands that the monstrous wave is coming.
