Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1116 Across the Era
Cold Spring, New York.
In the Adam Sphere Theater, a unique press conference is taking place.
Over the past few years, Golem has gone through many iterations and has developed to version 5.01, which is also the version to be released to the public.
Starting from the earlier Motorola DynaTAC8000X and IBM Simon, "smartphone" has been separated from the category of portable computers and formed an independent concept for more than ten years. Over the years, companies dedicated to mobile communications have been conducting research tirelessly.
There are already Nokia's Symbian, BlackBerry's "BlackBerry OS", "Windows Phone", Android, and Clayman mobile phone systems on the market. Some have been put into use, while others are still in the development and internal testing stage.
Thirty years have passed since Nan Yi came into this world, and the Nan family has entered the high-tech field. The world has undergone considerable changes. For example, in the United States there is a search engine Internet company called "Adam", whose market value has just risen to 174.2 billion US dollars. It has a strong competitor, Google, whose market value is as high as 651.72 million US dollars.
There is an instant messaging software called TTM. As it was released earlier and has been around for twelve years, it has also had relatively smooth financing and has never lacked funds for development. Whether it is facing ICQ and Yahoo Messenger, which are similar to each other, or Skype, which is different from others, TTM has only one question: "Who else?"
Although he was unrivaled, TTM's market value had been stuck within 10 billion US dollars until 2003, when Nan Yi threw a "TTM Book" plan to Facebook and stripped it of all its creative ideas. TTM's market value then began to rise rapidly and is now approaching the 50 billion US dollar mark.
Because of this idea, Nan Ruoyin received a creative fee of US$50 million and stocks worth US$100 million on behalf of Nan Yi.
There is a portal platform called Real Online. Its market value reached 107.5 billion US dollars in 2000, but has now dropped to 52.4 billion US dollars, ranking third among global Internet companies. It also has a sub-site called Real Japan, with a market value of 651.92 billion yen, equivalent to 56.2 billion US dollars. The son is better than the father.
Regarding Real Online, a major event once happened. It was at the end of 1999. For nearly two months, its stock turnover rate was very high. Nearly 11% of the stocks changed owners, and about US$10 billion of funds were transferred to Weill Bank.
Now, the second big thing is about to happen to Real Online. It is flirting with Microsoft and seems to be considering serving Microsoft in a humble manner.
The flowers on the door are already showing signs of turning yellow in autumn. There's nothing to do anymore. I'd better sell them and put the money in my pocket before anyone else reacts.
Adam has developed rapidly, providing netizens with services such as email and cloud disk, while Yizai has become quite mature in collecting and screening information. The learning materials it collects for itself have long disdained the unit of GB, and have skipped TB and PB and entered the EB era.
[1TB=1024GB, 1PB=1024TB, 1EB=1024PB]
Combining the two, Real Online has lost its additional significance of information collection except for profit-making. Nan no longer needs to support a large team of reporters. He can start from scratch and establish a smaller one, which can reduce a lot of expenses.
Of course, in addition to selling, Zhenshi Online can also go the route of external mergers and acquisitions, acquire some promising Internet companies, and push up the market value. However, after the secret cashing out, Nan's holdings are less than 25%. Nan Yi really doesn't want to do something that requires much effort but little reward.
Instead of being conservative, it is better to innovate and imitate Twitter. Jicha.com, which is preparing to catch up with the latecomers, is already in preparation. This is one of Nantianmen’s next key projects.
Nan Yi's impact on the Internet industry involves all aspects, and it also has a great impact on mobile phone systems. Although Nokia and BlackBerry have applied intelligent systems to mobile phones, their level of intelligence cannot be compared with that of Niren; Microsoft and Android entered the mobile phone intelligent system later than Niren, and their research and development speed and concepts are not as good as Niren. It can be said that Niren is the No. 1 in the mobile phone system industry today.
Today, the clay figurine was officially unveiled to the public.
Andy Rubin, CEO of Clayman, walked onto the stage in a typical programmer's outfit - a plaid shirt and jeans. He looked up at the guests in the stepped auditorium, looking a little shy. In response to the guests' applause, he could only repeat "thank you".
After a short silence to calm himself down, Andy started his speech: "Good morning, everyone. Welcome. It feels great to be here. In the past 11 years, our team has grown from 5 to 547 people, and Golem has grown from 1.0 to 5.01. Today, I finally have the courage to share this with you."
As Andy got to the point, a raccoon phone appeared on the big screen behind him.
“Golem has the most basic call and address book functions of a mobile phone. In the call settings, users can choose whether to back up call records and address books to the cloud, and can also make notes for unfamiliar calls and choose whether to share the notes with other users.
If a number is annotated as 'insurance salesman' by multiple users, when another user receives this call, the note 'insurance salesman' will be displayed, and the number of times it has been annotated will be displayed.
In this way, users can avoid receiving unwanted calls. In addition, there is a blacklist function in the address book. Numbers added to the blacklist cannot call the user's phone at all, and the other party will only hear a notification tone indicating that the call cannot be connected. "
When Andy talked about the note function, the guests in the audience were just amazed. When he talked about the blacklist, many people showed great interest. After all, who doesn’t have one or two people they don’t want to pay attention to?
After Andy introduced several basic functions of Golem, he moved on to the main event.
“Compared to other systems, Golem’s biggest innovation is that it has unlimited possibilities. As shown in the demonstration animation, we can install countless software in the Golem system.
Before the press conference, I went to TTM and introduced Golem to Chance. He was very interested in Golem and said that as long as a communications manufacturer uses Golem, TTM will develop a version for Golem.
In the near future, we can use TTM to make video calls with friends with our mobile phones, share the delicious food with friends, and ask friends for their opinions when we see a beautiful dress in the store. Many things can be shared.
The Golem system can also be equipped with the powerful AdamMap. From now on, people no longer need a car navigation system when going out...
Golem can run any software that exists or doesn’t exist now. Although I don’t want to make this comparison, I still want to say that our Golem is like Windows, and all software can run on it.”
boom!
There was a collective exclamation from the audience.
Today's guests are mainly programmers, related media people and club members. They understand the significance of what Andy said. Golem is not a software installed on the mobile phone, but an ecosystem.
Without waiting for the guests to think carefully, Andy continued: "When we developed Golem, we had already decided to make it open source, so no matter which communication manufacturer uses Golem, they don't have to pay us."
Although Golem is free, communication manufacturers need to pay Golem some licensing fees when using some internal applications, such as music, maps, email, etc.; Golem mobile phone users also download applications from the GolemPlay store. If there are charges, the developer needs to pay 30% of the application revenue to Golem, which will be a large source of income.
Adam has acquired 45% of Golem's shares. The two are deeply tied together. Most of Golem's underlying applications are provided by Adam, which means that most of the licensing fees will go to Adam, and Golem can only keep a relatively small portion.
As soon as the word "free" appeared, the theater was in an uproar again. Many media people had already sent out their first drafts, hoping to compete with their peers in speed. However, they should send out the second draft soon, because the stage of the theater has been changing, and the live broadcast equipment connected to the big screen has been brought on stage.
At the same time, Andy told a story.
"About seven years ago, I watched a romantic film called "The Invisible Lover". Actually, I am not interested in romantic films, but I watched this film because someone recommended it to me to see the future world portrayed in the film.
After watching it, I was deeply shocked. The future world in the film is not a conjecture, but a logically rigorous forward-looking speculation. Today, many applications depicted in the film have appeared in reality, such as the smartphone raccoon that appears most frequently.
When I got to know the story behind the film, I found out that it was not a love film, but an advertisement. On the other side of the earth, in the ancient oriental country of China, a group of people started to research smartphones a long time ago and achieved a lot.
In 2002, I met with its head and talked for a long time about the future of smartphones and the possibility of cooperation between our two sides. We got along very well and hit it off on the idea of cooperation.
In the past four years, we have had many collisions of inspiration and faced many failures together. Today, he is here to show you the Raccoon phone equipped with Golem. Let us welcome Mr. Luo. "
As Andy finished speaking, Luo Huan, wearing a casual suit with a white T-shirt underneath, with the buttons unbuttoned, and a pair of blue-gray jeans, walked briskly towards the stage.
At this moment, Luo Huan's face was full of confidence. For today, he started to do fitness several years ago, and also practiced English pronunciation. His image is very important. He represents the Li mobile phone, he is the Li mobile phone, and he and the Li mobile phone are integrated into one.
To a certain extent, he also represents China and its technology.
Luo Huan came up to the stage and shook hands with Andy, then faced the audience and said, "Good morning, everyone. I am honored to be here at the Adam Sphere to attend the Golem launch event. I am Huan Luo from Ganfeng Technology. Next, Andy and I will show you the charm of the combination of the Raccoon Phone and Golem."
After some preparation, Luo Huan held a raccoon phone in his hand and faced the live camera. He pressed a button and said, "Hi, raccoon, call Andy."
"OK."
Following a mechanical reply, the phone in Luo Huan's hand automatically popped up the dialing screen. After just a few seconds, Andy took out the Raccoon phone in his hand and displayed the incoming call screen to all the guests present on the big screen.
boom!
"AI!"
All the programmers present thought of this together.
"Hi, I'm Andy."
"Hi Andy, this is Luo, where are you?"
"I'm holding a press conference at the Adam Sphere..."
After Luo Huan and Andy demonstrated the call, Luo Huan pressed the button again and asked Li's phone: "Hey, Li, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"Scarlett."
This year, Scarlett Johansson is very popular and is a frequent visitor to various most beautiful and sexiest rankings. Not many people may have seen her films, but many people know about the rankings. She is a veritable "chart star."
The guests in the audience all thought of Scarlett as the Scarlett of Hollywood, but in fact, the Scarlett here was the Scarlett Taylor of Scarlett Manor.
Of course, not many people know this fact.
Opening various applications, translation, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and simple conversations, the raccoon completed various operations perfectly. However, during the operation, the raccoon also showed an obvious characteristic - it has a high IQ, but not much EQ.
After deeply shocking the guests, Luo Huan announced on the spot that Li Mobile would be launched globally on May 1, 2007. At the same time, Ganfeng Technology would start preparations for listing and would be listed on NASDAQ in the near future.
Nan Yi did not stay up late to watch the live broadcast of the press conference. Instead, he woke up early the next day, went to Reality Online to browse the news reports, searched for the keyword "Golem" using Adam, and read some articles by technology bloggers in the search results.
After spending more than two hours reading some articles, Nan Yi became interested in paying attention to the line of text under the search window - about 14,300,000 results were found (in 0.43 seconds).
Nan Yi smiled knowingly. Before the press conference, the number was less than 5 million, and most of the content had nothing to do with Golem but referred to the real clay figurine.
After caring about Golem, Nan Yi closed his notebook and shouted to the air, "Xiao Yi."
In the corner of the living room, a robot that looked like a cylinder vacuum cleaner had its indicator light flashing, and then it spoke in human language, "Honey, what can I do for you?"
"I have no money left."
"Oh, what sad news." The robot Xiaoyi said mischievously, and then rolled over to Nanyi, "How much do you need?"
"five hundred."
"I heard you say that the sun rises and sets, and it's hard to predict whether it will be sunny or rainy..."
"Don't be naughty, give me money."
When Xiao Yi heard Nan Yi's instructions, the gates of his mouth opened, and he spat out money while making up his own background music, "Be a human being, be a human being, be a human being, it is really difficult to be a human being, be a human being, be a human being, be a human being, it is not difficult to say it is difficult..."
[Shanghai dialect rap "It's Hard to Be a Human Being". When I wrote this, this song popped up in my mind. I forgot which TV station I heard it on a program like "Light Songs and Dances".]
"Xiao Yi, you have too many functions. You should turn off some of them."
"No, there is only one good father in the world. Children with fathers are like treasures. Throw yourself into father's arms..."
"Shut up, I can't hold you." Nan Yi said, and put the messy bills on the coffee table into his pocket, "Are you hungry?"
"Battery 27.3%."
"Oh, do you want hydroelectricity or thermal power? Or nuclear power?"
"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth..." After playing a song, Xiao Yi responded when he was triggered and unable to execute, "Foolish human, don't ask such stupid questions next time, do you think I am a god?"
"Oh, idiot, go back and recharge yourself."
"Dad, in the second grade of primary school, the second article of "Ideology and Morality" is "Being Civilized and Polite"..."
"Shut up. If you keep whining, I'll cut off your internet connection."
“Ouch!”
Xiao Yi screamed and rolled back to his original position. He opened his anus and a special suction plug popped out. With a snap, it was attached to an equally special socket. The indicator light flashed and the world became quiet. Only a rechargeable vacuum cleaner could be seen charging.
"Yizi, have you downloaded any new movies?"
"Five."
"Cavalry or infantry?"
"infantry."
“Be positive.”
"Please confirm whether to delete the hidden folder of study materials on drive D?"
"Alas, you need to upgrade, don't delete it."
"A visitor came. After facial recognition, it was confirmed to be Ding Yiku." Yizi suddenly said.
"Why is this guy here?" Nan Yi muttered. He stood up and walked to the yard. He opened the gate and saw Ding Yiku dressed as a backpacker. "Hey, what's up, man?"
"The usual, Uncle Nan, I'm thirsty." Ding Yiku's voice sounded a little tired.
"Come in." Nan Yi let Ding Yiku into the yard and took the backpack from him. "Where are you coming from?"
Ding Yiku snapped his fingers and hummed a tune.
As soon as the tune started, Nan Yi knew what Ding Yi was humming. Last year, "Full House" was a huge hit, and its theme song "Destiny" could be heard everywhere.
Nan Yi took Ding Yiku to the living room and sat him down. He then brought him a bottle of mineral water. He watched him drink half a bottle and waited for a few breaths before he said, "Is your gap year over?"
"it's over."
"What are your plans?"
Ding Yiku said casually: "Open a bar and get a degree."
"where?"
"here."
"Are you short of money?"
"No."
Nan Yi thought for a while and said, "Do you want to meet your father?"
Ding Yi was stunned for a moment, "He's not dead yet?"
"The last time I heard from him was three years ago. He opened a stir-fry stall in Bangkok's Chinatown. He remarried to a Thai woman, and you also have a younger sister, Ding Sitian, who is five and a half years old."
"I don't want to see you."
"Well, do you want me to arrange a place for you to stay?"
"I live with my girlfriend."
“Is it stable?”
"I don't know. We met on the plane from Tokyo to Seoul."
"Oh, go take a shower, change your clothes, and have lunch with your Aunt Huang at noon."
When everything was ready, Nan Yi rode the BMW R75 parked in the yard and set off with Ding Yiku.
Too yellow.
Huang Saner opened the restaurant not for the purpose of making money, but just to provide a place for people to gather together. The little money he earned every month was not even enough for Huang Saner to smoke cigarettes.
As soon as Nan Yi stopped the car in front of Te Huang's gate, Huang Saner, who had been waiting there, immediately surrounded her and went straight to the object of her welcome, twisting and turning, looking extremely curious.
"Master Nan, can you get another one?"
It was obvious that Huang Saner came to greet the car. Nan Yi's R75 was not a second-hand item found outside, but a self-assembled one using the inventory parts purchased from a collector at that time. It would be difficult to assemble a second one in the world.
"Nonsense, you've asked this question more than eight thousand times." Nan Yi spat, and pointed at Ding Yiku, "Your nephew Ding Yiku, nicknamed Patton."
There is no doubt that Huang Saner would have to reminisce about the past with Ding Yiku.
While the two of them were busy, Nan Yi asked Miao Xiaolan, who was driving along with him, to give him a big red envelope of 168. He had not been able to contact Ding Yiku during the New Year, and the New Year red envelope had not been given yet. This was a good time to make up for it.
Huang Saner and Ding Yiku chatted all the way from outside the store to the private room. It was not until Nan Yi was half full that they had time to pay attention to him.
"Nan Ye, do you have a tape of Wolf 3?"
"Qitai's?"
"Tu Honggang's."
"Same thing, no, I've never bought any. Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
At the turn of the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was a trend in the industry for mainland singers to imitate Hong Kong and Taiwan singers to release cover albums, which is called "蹭版" in the jargon. Tu Honggang's "tape stage name" at that time was Qi Tai. He dressed like Elvis Presley and sang many songs of Qi Qin and Wang Jie in a sissy and sour Peking Opera accent, which was completely different from the later Emperor's voice.
"The water pipe in the old house burst, and the tapes under the bed were soaked in water. Many of them were ruined." Huang Saner said with a distressed look on his face.
"Do you want to listen to it, or collect it?"
"Listen."
"Look online. Who still listens to cassettes these days? Those who are more sophisticated have iPods, and at the very least they'll get an MP3 player from Huaqiangbei that costs 320 yuan."
Huang Saner opened his arms and said, "Today's society is not suitable for me because I am too nostalgic."
Nan Yi smiled crookedly and said, "You are so rude, why are you pretending to be a cultured person? Take Zhang Da Tuanjie out and jump out of Kuimen by yourself. Yi Ku, do you want to get a car to drive?"
"Uncle Nan, I'm going to go to the second-hand market to buy one."
Without waiting for Nan Yi to reply, Huang Saner spoke first: "Don't touch second-hand cars. The water is too deep. There were heavy rains in many places in July. The flooded cars on the market have not been fully digested, so they are easy to be affected."
Ding Yi hesitated and said, "212 is not possible?"
"That's no problem. Spend three thousand dollars on an 18th-hand car, and spend another one or two dollars on a major overhaul. It will run fine for a year, but it'll be expensive, about 14 or 150 kilometers."
"Huang Saner, you buy the car, and I'll give Yiku a gas card." Nan Yi waved his hand to stop Ding Yiku from speaking, "Yiku, don't be polite, it's only natural for us to give you a gift. If you break up with your girlfriend one day, tell Uncle and I'll arrange a place for you to live. You can choose an apartment, loft, or villa."
"OK."
Seeing this, Ding Yiku didn't bother to be polite anymore.
After dinner, Huang Saner took Ding Yiku to see the car, and Nan Yi stepped on the accelerator and arrived at Lucaoyuan Hutong.
At the gate of the Nan family courtyard, Nan Yi honked the horn twice. After waiting for a while, a young girl with ear-length hair walked out of the yard. It was Nan Ruochan.
Nan Yi whistled and said frivolously, "Beauty, go online with uncle."
"OK."
Nan Ruochan simply sat in the truck bed, took the hat that Nan Yi handed over and put it on. After she was fully armed, she asked, "Uncle, are we really going to the Internet?"
"Hey, don't worry, I'm not trying to trick you into going on a blind date."
Nan Ruochan returned to China in May this year. After working in the Institute of Chemistry for two months, Yi Jinru saw that her job was stable and immediately arranged a blind date for her. In Yi Jinru's eyes, Nan Ruochan was already a 28-year-old old girl. If she didn't hurry up, all the good families would be picked up.
Nan Yi stepped on the accelerator and rode his bike towards Feilong Internet Cafe.
When they arrived at the place, they didn't rush to get on the plane. Instead, they stood at the door of the Internet cafe and chatted while chewing the candied haws they bought on the way.
“Are you adapting well at work?”
"I can't adapt. The interpersonal relationships are too complicated. It's not as comfortable as staying in a Harvard laboratory."
"I understand. This is the situation in China. Even when Hawking comes, he has to go to the table and offer two glasses of wine. You are a Nan family member, so don't worry about being wasted by time. Uncle has prepared 200 million US dollars for you. Go and look for a piece of land someday. Uncle will build you a Ruochan Laboratory, and everything will be the best."
Nan Ruochan hugged Nan Yi and choked up as she said, "Uncle, you are so kind."
Along the way, when it comes to her future, her uncle paved the way for her in everything, from elementary school, middle school, college, and laboratory internship. He helped her follow a good mentor, and after she graduated with a doctorate, he paved the way for her to return as a "technical high-end returnee talent" and successfully entered the Institute of Chemistry. She didn't have to worry about anything, so how could she not be grateful.
"Okay, you are so old now. Twenty years ago, your children would have pulled their female classmates' braids." Nan Yi stroked Nan Ruochan's head and gently pushed her away. "We are outside. It's not good to be seen by others."
