Today is Sunday, and it is also the day when Xiaoka Translation Software holds a mobile phone press conference. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

September is the most crowded day for domestic Internet companies to hold various product launches, especially weekends, which is the prime time for press conferences. Many IT reporters who run the meeting can run four or five venues a day at most during this time period.

However, this weekend, there was something unusual in the Internet industry, and expatriate reporters from influential professional media and websites gathered in Jianghai City. Several companies that are scheduled to hold a press conference or press conference this weekend have long since withdrawn and postponed their time.

The press conference will officially start at 10 o'clock. Just after 9 o'clock, the venue scheduled for the press conference, the entrance of the China Pavilion, was already crowded, and Liu Jiajia was one of them. The 100 lucky users were already here, divided into three teams, each led by a Kamodo staff member. Liu Jiajia was assigned to the first team.

The staff who led the team introduced while walking: The total construction area of the China Pavilion is 160,000 square meters, and the main part of the main hall in the middle is shaped like a crown, stacked and overhanged, and made like a bucket arch. It has four thick square columns that support the main building. The highest part of the main building is 63 meters, and the lower part of 33 meters is all empty, consisting of one underground floor and six floors above ground.

"The company rented the ground floor area of the main hall today, and the press conference was held in the transparent hall on the first floor. Other areas are still open to the public, so temporary barriers have been set up. If you are interested, you can come to me to sign up, and the company will organize a unified visit in the afternoon. ”

Liu Jiajia has already taken out a selfie stick, installed her mobile phone and started the live broadcast mode. For the live broadcast, she specially prepared two power banks and bought a mobile phone traffic package. She adjusted the position of her phone to make sure that her avatar appeared in the background of the venue, and repeated the information that the staff had just introduced.

In the discussion group on the Internet, the live post she opened was already boiling.

"Wow, the landlord is really a beauty, I'm single, handsome, begging for a relationship."

"Xiaoka Company Niu Cha, the venue for this press conference is very high, I remember that the China Pavilion is generally not rented to commercial activities."

"A $27 billion Internet company, Jianghai City can't be protected as a baby, what's the point of renting the China Pavilion?"

The camera shifted all the way, and as Liu Jiajia entered the infield.

At this time, the official webcast has not yet been official, and Liu Jiajia's personal live broadcast has become the first channel to expose the scene, and the traffic of live broadcast posts has begun to soar.

"Wow!" After the camera swept around the venue, netizens in the post were amazed that the local tyrant company was really different.

The transparent hall on the first floor is an open structure, with no fixed frame and seats, and the press conference site is all improvised. The most conspicuous thing is the position behind the main podium, where a high-definition LED wall with a height of 12 meters and a width of 12 meters is being built, and a promotional video of the small card translation software is being played. Even through the lens, this four-story screen is full of impact.

"It's definitely cool enough to watch movies with this, and it's almost the size of IMAX."

"Like, it is recommended to play a love action movie."

"It's too dirty upstairs, the old driver is waiting for me, I want to get in the car!"

……

As the time approached, media reporters and industry guests entered the seats one after another, and the reserved seats for 1,000 people were gradually filled.

Suddenly, the promotional video was frozen and the lights dimmed. Everyone is sitting upright, and the secret road is about to begin.

The spotlight on the top rocker arm played a circle of light in the center of the main podium, Jin Wei came from the dark with his mobile phone in a suit and leather shoes, and walked into the aperture, "Users, guests, media friends, hello everyone, welcome to the product launch of Kamodo Technology Company." ”

After Jin Wei introduced his identity, many people inside and outside the scene were surprised that it was not Chen Wenhao who presided over it himself. Sharp-eyed reporters have noticed Chen Wenhao sitting in the middle of the front row. Photojournalists began to turn their lenses to this side frequently.

However, everything has been planned, Jin Wei said on the stage, "I found that some reporters and friends were distracted, doesn't this mean that my hosting skills are insufficient?" My boss is sitting down there, everyone give some face, otherwise my bonus will be deducted this month. ”

Everyone in the audience laughed good-naturedly, and some short-tempered reporters also restrained themselves, after all, the press conference had just begun, and there was still a chance in the future.

Jin Wei took the opportunity to take over the conversation, "As the saying goes, the important thing is always the finale, but I love to be a brick thrower." Today is a special day, our small card translation software has only been launched for two months, and it has become the most widely used and most used software application in the field of machine translation. As of yesterday, our software is used by more than 120 million people worldwide, including 60 million paid users. ”

As he explained, two lines of numbers flashed on the LED screen wall, starting with 12 and 6 respectively, followed by a long string of zeros. On the screen wall, which is comparable to the size of an IMAX giant screen, each number is more than 1 meter high, and the visual effect is extremely shocking.

The numbers lasted for 10 seconds before fading off the screen.

"To have such good results, the most important thing to thank is the users who support Xiaoka. And in the user feedback we've collected, there have been calls for the launch of a mobile terminal. Jin Wei lit up the mobile phone he had been holding in his hand and announced loudly, "So, here we are again." Today, let's witness the entry of small card translation software into the mobile era. ”

The camera had already pointed a close-up at Jin Wei's mobile phone screen, and the footage was simultaneously played on the LED screen wall behind the main podium. The OPPO brand logo flashed on the phone, and then froze on the icon of a cartoon robot on the screen. People who have used small card translation software are very kind, this is the image of the tsundere (stupid and cute) robot that appears in the computer software.

Four icons appeared in the upper right corner of the LED screen wall at the same time, one is the logo of Tencent Video, the other is the corporate logo of Facebook, and the last two are also well-known video websites in China, each logo is followed by an increasing number. At the moment, the number behind Tencent has exceeded 13 million, while the number after Facebook has also reached 5 million, and the number behind the other two has also exceeded 1 million.

It's easy to think that this is the number of viewers on live streaming sites. The number of viewers worldwide exceeded 20 million at the beginning of such a company's product launch, and this number is still growing.

In the audience, several executives of OPPO looked happy, and they had expected that this conference would definitely attract a lot of attention before they came, but when they arrived at the scene, they found that the original estimate was far underestimating this influence. Just the appearance of this brand logo is enough to prove that the cooperation with the small truck company is successful. Their boss rubbed his chin and wondered how they could work together further.

Next to OPPO, there are representatives of several other major shareholders of Kamodo, who are also full of spring breeze. Being able to take a stake in Kamodo has been rated by the venture capital industry as the most profitable investment in the next five years.

The reason why venture capital is called high-risk and high-return is because 9 of the 10 projects that are invested in the end fail, but as long as 1 succeeds, the investment can be recovered. Therefore, as long as a project that has the potential to become a "1" is found, all venture capital is dripping saliva and rushing upwards. Therefore, as soon as a product like Xiaoka Translation emerged, it was waved by many venture capitalists waving tickets to ask for admission, but in the end, only the four of them succeeded. From the company's point of view, it has made a big order that can bring rich returns, and from the perspective of specific operators, it is a shining example of professional resume, and it is also a deep foundation for salary increase.

Each company has its own market analysis department, and even the most conservative forecasts give five stars to the market prospects of the mobile side of the small card translation software. After reaching 100 million users, the growth rate has been slightly flat, but with the stimulation of the mobile phone, it is estimated that the number of users will soon exceed 200 million, and the number of paying users will exceed 80 million.

Venture capital firms see the ensuing windfall profits, while Facebook's Tang Liyang thinks more. Before coming to Jianghai City to attend the press conference, Xiao Zha had a long video and audio conference with him. He came with two major missions: one was to urge Chen Wenhao to build up the technical department of Kamodo as soon as possible, and three carefully selected Facebook engineers set off on the same day; The second is to look for more opportunities for cooperation, especially in technology. The fact that a translation software doesn't need an online database alone has left countless Facebook engineers scratching their heads and unable to explain it.
