150: Bloody Surge!
The launch of Imperial Tech's parrot translator is also incredibly low-key.
Not only did there be no press conference, but there was not even a single piece of news, so it was quietly put on the shelves.
That is, because there are countless people who want to boycott the products of Imperial Technology, so they pay attention all the time, and this is discovered.
In short, Imperial Technology released this product as if it was afraid that others would buy it.
There was no advertising at all.
The key to this product is that there are no specialty stores.
Only online sales, you can sell directly on the official website, or you can buy on major e-commerce platforms.
To be honest, it takes a lot of money and a lot of heart to buy such a product directly.
But there are such people in the world.
Liang Sisi is an avid globetrotter and a rich woman who has traveled to dozens of countries around the world.
She had a personal pain, and that was that she did not speak English well.
When communicating with people outside, it is completely word by word, and even an electronic dictionary is carried with you.
That feeling of dumbness was so uncomfortable.
Despite being in her thirties, she is very elegant and beautiful.
Every time in a hotel, in a restaurant, she wants to express this elegance and decency.
There are also in luxury stores.
However, the language barrier completely ruined this elegance and decency.
When you don't know how to order, when you don't know what to say what bag you're going to buy.
You and the waiter, both of you, are in a hurry to get on the fire, where is half elegant.
Of course, it's okay to go out with an interpreter, but traveling is a very private thing.
And after traveling to dozens of countries, she is not only curious about the beautiful scenery, but also has an urge to communicate with the locals.
However, the language barrier makes this kind of communication extremely difficult.
In short, this feeling is difficult for ordinary people to experience, because the vast majority of people live in China, and even if they go out to travel, they are also with a group.
Only a very small number of people have such a need.
This is an incomparably painful point.
So Liang Sisi once thought about how great it would be if there was a product that could be translated in real time.
She doesn't expect to have many languages, as long as the Chinese-English translation is enough, and she doesn't require too high accuracy, 80% is enough.
So when this parrot translator from Imperial Technology went on the market, Liang Sisi couldn't wait to buy it.
Then, she was filled with infinite anticipation.
Because a week later, she was leaving for Italy, and this was the third time.
This time I took the southern route, mainly Sicily, and the tickets have already been booked.
As for the price of 19999, to be honest, she didn't care at all, she didn't blink an eye.
After the delivery arrived, she couldn't wait to open it.
Wow!
The feel is first-class, the shape is first-class, and the design is first-class.
And it's very light, about less than 100 grams, and it's magnetic charging.
Seriously, she thought it was like a voice recorder, and she didn't expect it to look so beautiful.
And there's also a small screen, a long one, that's about less than 1.5 inches, but the display is very detailed.
After receiving the hand, Liang Sisi didn't know what to do.
What drivers should I download, and what language packs should I install?
Women are inherently insensitive to such electronic products.
In order to test this parrot translator, she specially found her best friend, a simultaneous translator, who is proficient in Chinese, English and Italian Chinese.
Liang Sisi opened the manual.
Then, she was stunned.
This...... It's the simplest instruction manual it's ever seen.
You don't need any settings, and when you want to translate, just press the round button and speak.
For example, if you want to translate into English, you start by saying, translate into English.
The second item in the manual is that the charging cable is plugged into the USB port of the computer, and the language pack will be automatically upgraded.
The third article of the manual is to teach you how to charge.
This...... Isn't this instruction manual too rudimentary?
Liang Sisi said to the translator: "Next, my words will be translated into English." ”
The translator said, "Okay, no problem. ”
Then, Liang Sisi was stunned.
Because this voice is not a mechanical electronic voice at all, it is a very gentle female voice.
The most important thing is that this voice is very, very similar to her voice, 95% similar.
Or it's hard to tell at all, as if Liang Sisi is talking.
This...... It's terrifying, isn't it?
There's no learning process, and there's no setup.
Liang Sisi said: "This, is this okay?"
She's talking to herself.
The parrot translator said: "Yes, that's fine, don't worry about it." ”
Liang Sisi was stunned again, according to the logic of electronic products, this sentence should be translated into English, it is so smart, directly answer Liang Sisi's question.
Liang Sisi thought for a while and said, "Hello, I want to ask, how much does this bag cost?"
Without any waiting, after making sure that Liang Sisi finished speaking, the parrot translator spoke directly in English.
Moreover, it is completely in the voice of Liang Sisi, as well as the intonation.
Extremely standard English.
There is no mechanical or electronic sound at all, as if a person is speaking English.
Liang Sisi couldn't help but look at this friend beside her, she was the expert.
"Lili, is this translated correctly?" asked Liang Sisi.
The friend next to him nodded and said, "Yes, exactly." ”
Liang Sisi said the second sentence.
"I want a filet mignun, medium rare, a little rosemary, not too salty, a little black pepper on it, no butter, olive oil. ”
Still no waiting.
Parrot Translator translates directly into English.
Liang Sisi looked at her friend again.
My friend was stunned, because the translation was still 100% correct, even if it was changed to her professional simultaneous translation, it could not be better.
No, it's a little harder.
Li Li took the translator, pressed the round button and said, "I don't know if we have our own destinies, or if we are just floating around in the wind." ”
Still no waiting.
The parrot translator said directly: "Idon'tknowifweeachhaveadestiny,orifwe'realljustfloatingaroundaccidental—likeonabreeze."
Li Li, the professional simultaneous translator, was stunned.
Because at this time, the voice emitted by the translator is 90% similar to hers.
And the tone is very much the same.
"Chaos is not an abyss. Chaos is the ladder. Many people try to climb up, but fail, and never get a chance to try again. ”
“Chaosisn'ywhotrytoclimbitfail,andnevergettotryagain.”
Next, Li Li's sentences became more and more difficult, more and more difficult.
He began to use a lot of idioms, slang, aphorisms, and began to lay traps.
For example, the names of people, places, and verbs are confused, such as using a lot of homophones.
However, this parrot translator translates it all in an instant.
And exactly right.
Not 100% accurate, but 120% accurate.
Because of many idioms, direct translation is okay in the past, but it will seem stiff, and there are similar allusions in the West, so the expression is more accurate.
Parrot Translator is always able to find the most suitable sentences.
Next, Li Li tried to get the parrot translator to translate into Italian.
Still exactly right.
Li Li tested even more frantically, getting the parrot translator to translate into Sicilian.
Sicilian is an Italian dialect, which is still very different from Italian.
As a result, the parrot translator is still exactly right.
But the embarrassing thing is that Li Li's Sicilian level barely passes, and she still can't judge the level of the parrot translator.
Next, the two women began to constantly test various languages.
Even in Cantonese and Shanghainese, there is still no problem.
The two of them were really completely stunned, especially Li Li, who felt a tingling of her scalp.
"I'm done, I'm going to be unemployed. ”
Liang Sisi said: "Is it very powerful?"
Li Li said: "I can't describe how amazing it is, it's just an artifact, it's too rebellious, I can't imagine how it does it, this is not something that a vocabulary bank can solve, it seems to hide an extremely smart translator, a translator who is proficient in hundreds of languages, and can learn to simulate anyone's voice." ”
"I spent a million to get a Ph.D. to become a simultaneous translator in three Chinese languages, and as a result, this thing was only sold in 19999, and I was proficient in hundreds of languages, which is crazy and terrible." ”
"Imperial technology is crazy, I now understand Wang Huan's words, this kind of product is not disdainful of selling at all, selling it to you at the price of 19999 is a great gift, this is not a commodity at all, but a gift to you." ”
....................................
Next, Liang Sisi and Li Li, who were extremely excited, shot a video to introduce the parrot translator.
This can be said to be a sharing, but also a review.
Because Liang Sisi and Li Li are so excited, they really can't help but share such a magical product with countless people.
But...... After the video is uploaded.
Soon there was a loud scolding.
"The water army, Wang Huan's water army. How much does this video cost? Where to sign up, bring me one. ”
Imperial Technology couldn't help it, and began to buy water army boasting about its products, shameless. ”
"The two sluts in the video, do you still have dignity? Do you have any personality? People say that you are not worthy of use, imperial technology has trampled on your dignity, you just bought this translator with water in your brain, and you even want to shoot video propaganda? You also want to kneel and lick Imperial Technology, kneel and lick Wang Huan, why didn't your father shoot you on the wall back then?"
"Spending 20,000 yuan to buy a translator, is it really a rich man, is he being fostered? Is there a woman who is human flesh?"
"This kind of woman is either the junior of a corrupt official or the daughter of a corrupt official, and it is recommended that the relevant departments check her family to ensure that she can't make a mistake, and she will definitely be able to catch a big corrupt official. ”
"The woman who posted the video, do you know what your behavior looks like? It's like after being blown up by a little Japanese dog, she still has to come out and shout loudly, saying that she is very cool. Imperial technology tramples on your dignity, but you desperately applaud, in times of war, people like you are shameless traitors. ”
Pause.
Liang Sisi was directly scolded by countless people for being autistic.
She has never been scolded by so many people, scolded by such crazy language.
She was so puzzled that she just shared a video about how good the parrot translator was.
Why did so many people curse her in such a vicious tone?
Why does it seem that he hates her more than the enemy who killed his father?
In less than two days, she couldn't bear the pressure and deleted the video directly.
It's not just her, but other users as well.
After using up the Parrot Translator, I suddenly felt that it was an incomparably artifact, it was like magic, it was simply an artifact.
These people can't help but write articles to share on forums and take videos to share.
But basically they were abused and attacked.
It's just a personal attack.
Some people can't help but scold each other, while more people choose to delete posts and videos.
After Brother Hammer bought a parrot translator, he directly smashed it with a hammer, and the video was clicked tens of millions of dollars, becoming an Internet celebrity, causing a group of people to follow suit.
And the video of the translator evaluation, I couldn't help my inner impulse, said a lot of praise, and was scolded by countless people to be autistic and sprayed as a water army.
But this thing still spread in a small circle.
Sharing face-to-face with acquaintances, you won't be scolded, right?
In this way, people who need it have started one after another.
In just one month, 30,000 of these things were sold.
Among them, 10,000 are domestic and 20,000 are foreign.
There are so many rich people.
But for this group of people, this translator is really just needed.
This thing is sold in 19999, 30,000 pieces a month, that is 600 million yuan.
And the profit margin is more than 90%, which is completely comparable to the money printing machine.
Especially abroad.
Parrot Translator is completely popular.
It's amazing.
There are many very authoritative and hardcore review videos in Europe and the United States.
When reviewing this product, no one said half a word about the shortcomings.
completely exhausted his words of praise, and even some of the video owners knelt on the chair to record the whole process.
This is the stalk of watching "Three-Body Problem 1" at that time.
My mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch a movie.
So now some video owners feel that the five bodies are on the ground, so they kneel to evaluate.
Generally speaking, it is the producers who kneel down to these evaluators and spend money to buy advertorials.
And often after taking out tens of millions, they may not be able to get much praise, and many people should be scolded after receiving money.
But these video owners not only don't have to pay for promotion, but also have to pay for their own translators for evaluation, and after the evaluation, they have to recommend and praise crazily, which is even more positive than collecting money.
I can't help it, I'm really conquered by the power of this translator.
You must know that European and American countries are more expensive to buy this translator, and they need to increase tariffs.
The most expensive place in the world, after converting it into RMB, is almost 30,000.
Despite the popularity of this product, it ...... It's still super niche.
If the lightning browser is awesome enough, it's not obvious enough.
The parrot translator is completely magical, and it was directly put on the altar.
But......
Even if it is praised on the altar, it is also the altar of the super niche crowd.
Because a few months after its release, its total global sales did not exceed 100,000.
And its sales growth rate will be very slow in the future.
Because it will not be upgraded, a translator, at least for more than ten years.
In the end, everyone who should buy it, they all bought it.
Whoever won't buy it, will never, never buy.
And these videos that are crazy about praising parrot translators abroad are also difficult to avoid being moved to China, and they are also subtitled.
Then, there's a bunch of replies at the bottom.
"Imperial technology is really slippery, exports turn to domestic sales, foreign uncles say that is really good? ”
"What came to mind? Stomach must cure advertisement, a foreigner takes stomach must be cured, in broken Chinese said that there is a stomach disease, remember, 1234 stomach must be cured. ”
It can be seen from this that Imperial Technology is a foreign-worshipping company. Do you still want to use foreigners to propagate flowers outside the wall and incense inside the wall? It's a pity, we in China have long since stood up, and your trick won't work. ”
"I don't feel a little proud when I see the video of this group of foreigners praising the parrot translator, I just feel disgusted. Wang Huan used to be a hero in China, but now he has fallen to this point. ”
"Upstairs is out, in 2007, Wang Huan had already betrayed the country. They have eliminated terrorists and saved hundreds of Americans, and are known as American heroes and American supermen. At that time, the president of the United States praised Wang Huan while stepping on our country, and said that we China are not worthy of giving birth to a hero like Wang Huan, I remember it clearly. ”
....................................
March 9, 2011.
Wang Xin was invited to participate in the 60th anniversary celebration of his high school alma mater, which he didn't want to go, but the high school homeroom teacher came all the way to invite.
So, Wang Xin could only go.
After getting Wang Huan's consent, he was ready to donate 3 million yuan to his high school alma mater.
After learning the news, Wang Xin's high school alma mater was very happy.
Wang Xin went very low-key, in the past year or so, the top management of Imperial Technology has basically lived in a shallow way, trying to avoid too much contact with the outside world.
After all, not everyone is as tough as Wang Huan.
He thinks that the celebration of a county high school should not be paid much attention to, and there will be no media.
On the day of the school anniversary.
It was very lively, and the leaders of the county, and even the leaders of the city, came.
Hundreds of students performed one show after another.
These leaders are very polite to Wang Xin, and there is even a little flattery in their words, and they want to invest in the project.
Wang Xin originally wanted to donate the three million in a low-key manner.
But I didn't expect that the high school alma mater held a grand donation ceremony.
Moreover, let him be the main guest speaker.
Wang Xin gave a speech for a few minutes, which was not out of place at all, and was completely decent.
In the afternoon, the high school alma mater held a variety of activities.
One of them is the cross-session dialogue between schools.
It is in the lecture hall that the most successful people who walk out of this school accept questions from the best high school students in this school.
The so-called cross-session, that is, the 95th and 98th sessions, are called seniors and younger sisters to each other.
"Senior Wang Xin, I am Jiang Xinyan, the secretary of the Youth League of Class 2 of the third year of high school, and I have a few questions I want to ask you. A girl stood up.
At a glance, you can see that this girl has a good academic performance and is a class cadre.
Wang Xin said: "Yes." ”
Jiang Xinyan, the secretary of the senior high school league, said: "Your brother Wang Huan used to be a hero of the whole country and the pride of countless people, but now he has been abandoned by countless people and has lost his glory, what do you think?"
Wang Xin was stunned, but still replied seriously: "In my heart, my brother will always be my pride. ”
Jiang Xin said: "Even if he cheats, while marrying Zuo Ling, he maintains an improper relationship with Lin Bing?"
Wang Xin said: "This is my brother's private life, and I have no right to interfere." ”
Jiang Xinyan asked again: "You once publicly said that anyone who resists the empire's technology is not worthy of its products. We all know that we are a socialist country and everything is for the people. Then may I ask you if you say such a thing, is it a decadent imperial mentality? Is there a remnant of feudal privilege mentality?"
As soon as this question came out, the students present immediately applauded loudly and cheered.
Everyone thinks that this Jiang Xinyan dares to speak and confront authority, which is very cool.
Wang Xin still said seriously: "We are also serving the people, and we are carrying out an incomparably great cause." It's just that this undertaking is very long and will definitely be misunderstood, but I firmly believe that one day, countless people will understand our great cause and will know that we have made an incomparably great contribution to this country and its people. ”
Jiang Xin said: "Is it a translator that sells 19,999 yuan? Is this your great cause? May I ask Mr. Wang Xin, do you know what the average income of the people in our country is? Do you know how many poor people we have? You keep talking about great causes, when did your imperial science and technology ever think of serving them?"
"Well, don't mention it if it's irrelevant. The principal immediately stopped him on the side and said, "Please ask the next student to ask a question, we are all students, we need to ask questions related to learning." ”
Jiang Xinyan smiled and sat down, full of the smiles of the victors.
At the end of the event, the principal came over to apologize to Wang Xin.
"Mr. Wang Xin, don't care, child, she just likes to play with personality, we will criticize her. ”
Wang Xin said: "It's nothing, everyone expresses their opinions." ”
Then, Wang Xin said: "Mr. Principal, I am very busy with my work, I have quit here, and there is still a lot of work waiting for me." ”
The principal said: "There is one last item on the agenda, and the last item, you are the guest of honor of our school, how about you personally award the certificates for our nine excellent students? ”
Wang Xin nodded and said, "Okay." ”
....................................
The secretary of the senior high school girl's league who questioned Wang Xin at the exchange just now is extremely angry.
Originally, she was a good student in the school, but because she asked Wang Xin an impolite question at the exchange meeting just now, she lost her honor as a good student and was replaced by another classmate.
After being informed of this by the head teacher.
"I see. She left the office with a blank face.
She was angry, but full of power.
I feel that I am like a hero who was persecuted in the old society, and I have to straighten my waist and stand proud at all times.
An hour later.
In the auditorium of the school, a grand ceremony was held to award the three good students.
Thousands of teachers and students in the school witnessed this moment.
In the impassioned music, the hostess said: "Now we have invited Mr. Wang Xin, vice president of Imperial Technology, to present certificates to the nine students of our school, and everyone applauded warmly. ”
In applause.
Nine of the school's three good students took to the stage.
Three people per grade.
As a guest, Wang Xin awarded the certificates of merit to nine students one by one.
And shook hands with every student.
The hostess said: "Now I would like to invite Xu Min, the representative of the outstanding three good students, Xu Min from the 5th Office of the third year of high school, to speak. ”
A handsome boy walked up to the microphone.
"I am very honored to receive this honor and I will definitely cherish it. ”
"But I can't ask for this certificate because it was awarded to me by Wang Xin, vice president of Imperial Technology. ”
"Just now, Jiang Xinyan was persecuted by Wang Xin because he told a few words of truth and lost his qualification as a good student. ”
"So I don't want this qualification!"
"I don't think the vice president of Imperial Technology, Wang Huan's younger brother, is worthy of giving us this award. ”
Then, in front of everyone, he directly tore up the No. 3 student certificate.
And the persecuted girl Jiang Xinyan stood up proudly and applauded, it seems that for this scene, she already knew that it would happen.
Immediately after that, the remaining eight good students, and the other three, also tore up the three good student awards in their hands.
This is really heartbreaking!
The audience was stunned for a moment.
And Wang Xin was completely stunned, as if the blood in his whole body rushed directly to his brain.
..............................
Note: I thought about it for a long time, but I still wrote it until more than four o'clock in the morning!
When I was writing a paragraph, I couldn't help but think back to the years of my rebellious personality in high school, and my mind suddenly recalled three words: Stupid!
If you have a monthly pass, just give a few!
