Chapter 646: Press Conference
In April, the spring breeze in the imperial capital is blowing, and the greenery in the Panhan Research Institute has also been renewed. The landscapes and buildings designed by I.M. Pei really make people feel emotional.
Originally, there were some sparsely populated Panhan Imperial Capital Research Institutes, but now there is a crowd of people. A group of elite people in suits and ties walked leisurely on the road in the park.
"This Panhan Research Institute is really eye-opening, looking at this environment, even if it is a foreign research institution, it is like this, right?"
"Abroad? Which abroad? Asia, Africa and Latin America, or Europe, America and Japan? Just bothering those of you who are all foreigners except for China, the level of the Panhan Research Institute, that is, the top research institutions in Europe and the United States, has such conditions. Almost, how can there be such a garden? At most, you will be given one building, and the equipment level is better. β
"Hey, you just love to raise the bar, I won't tell you......"
In the visiting team of the Pan Han Research Institute, a sturdy man took a few steps and hurriedly left the team. Looking at his panicked appearance, it was obvious that he had received a lot of education a long time ago.
"Lao Wang, you're still in this temper."
Tang Weide patted Wang Hongfeng's back with a smile, shook his head and smiled: "That person just sighed with emotion, why do you want people to not come to the stage?" I see how he dresses, maybe he will have a little wealth, if he causes us some trouble later, how inappropriate? β
"Him?" Wang Hongfeng pursed his lips and snorted: "At first glance, you know that you are a nouveau riche, and you just came to join in the fun." Do you think that Panhan Group selects cooperative enterprises this time to see how much money the other party has? I dare say that a business owner like him has no understanding of scientific research at all. Maybe you won't even be able to pass the first level. β
"I know that, too, but it's better to have more than less." Tang Weide lowered the volume of his speech. Leaning on Wang Hongfeng's ear, he said: "This time, if Panhan Group wants to spread technology, how big will the interests be involved?" Be cautious. You can't go wrong. β
"Old Tang, I have a sense of proportion." Wang Hongfeng nodded and said no more.
The team accompanied by Wang Hongfeng and Tang Weide almost numbered hundreds of people, and they lined up dozens of meters out. Although there are signs on the road and the reception staff of the institute in the procession, there are still many people who keep "getting lost" and are sent back by staff from other places.
The veil on the face of the Pan Han Research Institute is too mysterious, think about it, this is the highest semiconductor technology research unit in China. If you can dig up some information from here. I'm afraid it's a vast business opportunity.
However, since its establishment, the Pan Han Institute has been very concerned about security. A hierarchical security system ensures that low-level visitors are never allowed to enter high-level areas.
After sending it back a few times, these cautious people had to dispel this idea.
Although Pan Han Group said that it came up with the most advanced technology in its own hands, who knows? Will they still have higher-level technology in their hands and wait for the market to mature and take it away from them?
The team of the visiting group walked for more than ten minutes and finally reached their destination. This is an office building in the Pan-Han Institute, which is still quite Chinese-style architectural design. For most people, they are not in the mood to appreciate the work of this world-renowned architect.
The crowd walked into the office building in whispered conversations. Walk through the long hallway and enter a spacious conference room.
The conference room was huge, almost a hall. Several staff members were busy debugging the equipment, while the visitors were seated on the steps on the side of the hall.
"This is to show us a documentary?" Tang Weide glanced at it. There was some curiosity in my heart. In his mind, since it was a meeting, it must be everyone sitting together. Then the pattern of taking turns to speak.
Or a podium, and then a group of people down there listened. Lots of academic conferences. It's all done like this. However, the arrangement of the Pan Han Group is somewhat new, and the visitors' seats are in the shape of an arc. Slightly encircles the center. With the upper tiers of terraced seats, it has a bit of a cinema feel.
"Speech, maybe a speech without a podium." Wang Hongfeng had a clear idea and said thoughtfully: "This looks like a product launch conference." β
"Product launch?" Under the arrangement of the staff, Tang Weide found a position adjacent to Wang Hongfeng and sat down, and said: "This form is quite chic, we can learn from it when we release products in the future." β
"It's time to start!" Wang Hongfeng sat up, watched the staff retreat like a tide, and hurriedly reminded Tang Weide to look at the stage intently.
The lighting changed, the soft stage lighting effect lit up, and a light burst out from the curtain wall behind the stage, and then showed the LOGO of Panhan Group.
"Is it a display wall? No, it seems to be a rear projection, but how can a rear projection have such a large area......"
"It's a joint realization of multiple rear projections, about three." Wang Hongfeng's technical acumen is very high, and after ruling out several possibilities from the display effect, he immediately realized the method used.
The scenery changes on the big screen, as if it were a well-made documentary. The factories, products, engineers and scientists of the Pan Han Group flashed one by one, and finally froze on a small chip.
"Hello everyone, welcome to Panhan Group-"
Wang Hongfeng was in good spirits, and immediately looked towards the edge of the stage after hearing the voice. Sure enough, a man in a neat and handsome slim suit stepped onto the stage from the left side.
"I am the chairman of Fanhan Group, and I am honored to be here to discuss the future of China's semiconductor industry with all of you."
"It's really Senior Brother Zhou!" Tang Weide's eyes lit up, he tried to suppress the excitement in his words, and said softly: "I didn't expect Senior Brother Zhou to look so young, it doesn't seem to be much older than us!" β
"He's only in his early thirties, so of course he looks young." Wang Hongfeng was actually the same, his eyes widened, looking at Zhou Shuo on the stage.
is a little different from the vast majority of people here, Wang Hongfeng and Tang Weide are not unrelated to Zhou Shuo, but brothers from the same school. is different from Zhou Shuo's mediocre when he was studying at Emperor Post University, the two of them were already influential figures in the school when they were in college, and they were compared with Zhou Shuo many times.
But only after going to the society, although they are now considered to have achieved a small career, they understand the gap between themselves and Zhou Shuo better.
The two spoke softly, and then quickly ended the conversation, focusing on Zhou Shuo, who had already walked to the middle of the stage.
"Pan Han Group is a company focusing on chip manufacturing technology, and in the semiconductor industry, our position is in the upstream. From 1994 to today, after seven years of development, Fanhan Group has become a large-scale private enterprise worth nearly 100 billion yuan. The technology mastered, whether it is chips or communication equipment, can be said to be the world's top level. However, looking at other semiconductor companies in China, it is a pity that the entire Chinese electronics industry is still hovering at a low level. β
"However, now there is an opportunity for our country's electronics industry to take off, and perhaps within three to five years, the scale of China's electronics industry can achieve a leap."
"But if this leap is based on the current situation, the biggest profit will not be Chinese companies, but American companies."
"The reason is simple, China's current electronic product design and manufacturing capacity is too weak, and it can only import electronic products to meet the needs of the domestic market."
"As a Chinese company, while leading the world's chip manufacturing technology, I am also thinking about whether I can do something for my counterparts in the motherland."
The play meat is coming! Everyone present held their breath, for fear of missing every word Zhou Shuo said next. The ancient emperor said that it was Chrysostom, but what Zhou Shuo was going to say next, I'm afraid that a word and a diamond are far from enough!
Zhou Shuo obviously also felt the change in the atmosphere of the scene, he smiled slightly, and changed his words, but avoided this topic.
"But before I do that, I want to tell you a little bit about what I have in mind for the next 10 or 15 years."
With his words, the picture on the curtain wall behind him changed again. A rectangular, rounded-cornered, pearlescent white object appears in the frame, and the overall design of this object is very simple, only there is a black circle above the quarter, which seems to be a set of lenses inside?
"You may wonder, what is this? Is this the future? Yes, I think that's the future. Zhou Shuo said with an oath.
"So what is this?" He chuckled and said, "Now let me uncover the answerβ"
The object on the screen begins to rotate, its front face is revealed, and the four views of the object appear on the screen, and various numbers are also identified in the picture.
If someone from 2007 or later appeared on the scene, he would definitely say that this is not a smartphone!
Yes, this is the smartphone that started to take the world by storm seven years later. Keyboardless, full-screen, smartphone with camera and more.
"Maybe people won't believe it, but this is what I think will be in the next five years."
However, in 2001, people can't imagine that such a thin and sci-fi shape will be the mobile phone of the future? Where did its battery go? What about its antenna? And what does that ring on the back do? Why is there no keyboard?
After Zhou Shuo gave the answer, not only did everyone not suddenly realize, but became even more confused.
It's not impossible to say it's a mobile phone, or a communicator. But it doesn't look like it's achievable in five years, does it? If it is a science fiction movie, the sky is full of products from the starship era. (To be continued......)
