Now that the direction of cooperation has completely changed, Yang Xiao and the others have stopped talking. The rest depends on how the Deep Space Company contacts the local government.
At this time, Yang Xiao and Tan Kai felt a lot more relaxed. They had come with a mission, and the purpose was to persuade Yu Dong to authorize the Deep Space Science Fiction Theme Museum to the Chengdu Government, because only in that way could their "Science Fiction World"
Get a new office location.
But the situation is different now. Even if they follow Yu Dong's plan, they will still be able to get a new office space.
Now Yang Xiao and Tan Kai are thinking about how to help Deep Space Company obtain more preferential policies from the Chengdu government. Only when this project is finally implemented can their wishes for a new office be realized, and the better the policies Deep Space obtains, the better.
The more office space their magazine can get, the more office space it will have.
Yu Dong is willing to leave an office space for "Science Fiction World", of course, not only because of friendship. In fact, it is good for the new campus to make room for "Science Fiction World". "Science Fiction World" is in the hearts of Chinese science fiction fans.
The weight is still very heavy.
Yang Xiao and the others stayed in Yu Dong's room for a while, then got up and left. Tomorrow was the award ceremony, and they still had a lot of things to do. In addition, Yang Xiao also wanted to convey Yu Dong's thoughts to the Rongcheng government.
After the two of them left, Yu Dong did not rest, but went to Liu Cixin's room. On the way to the hotel, he heard Xiao Li say that everyone was in Liu Cixin's room.
Before Yu Dong reached the door of Liu Cixin's room, he heard a burst of laughter coming from inside. This hearty and devilish laughter sounded like it came from Secretary Hu's mouth.
The door to Liu Cixin's room was not closed. If he got closer, the conversation inside the room could be clearly heard outside.
Hu Changqing laughed for a while and said, "The BenQ S1 is indeed a good phone, but the slider will definitely not be the final form of Mobile Phone."
"Since the slider is not the final form of the mobile phone, what do you think, Secretary Hu, is the final form of the mobile phone?" Yang Peng asked.
"Science fiction works have long told us that mobile phones will definitely develop towards tablets and touch screens. I predict that in just a dozen years, mobile phones will completely abandon buttons and all will be touch screens, and then in another thirty years, tablets will
No more, everyone wears a ring or watch, which is directly a holographic projection. Another possibility is to directly implant the chip into the eyeball and control it with the eyeball."
"Then just implant it into the brain and control it with brain waves." Wang Jingkang said.
Hu Changqing said with a smile, "If brain waves can really be controlled, there is no need to implant it into the brain. The machine can receive brain wave signals outside the brain."
Liu Cixin said: "By that time, there should be no concept of mobile phones. I think that in the era when mobile phones still exist, the final form of mobile phones should still be flips. Of course, there is no conflict between flips and full touch screens. In the future, mobile phone screens may
A relatively soft material will be used, so that the screen can be folded. Compared with a straight phone, a flip phone has the advantage that the screen is protected, reducing the possibility of damage."
"Well, Da Liu's perspective is good and quite practical."
“Really good.”
Standing at the door, Yu Dong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he listened to them discussing the future development of mobile phones. These science fiction writers should be more sensitive to future technological development, and what they said was somewhat decent.
Full touch screen is a popular setting in science fiction works, so many electronic equipment manufacturers are also thinking about making full touch screen mobile phones. There have been touch mobile phones before, but there are still many problems, such as troublesome operation and touch control.
It's not sensitive, it's not accurate, and it's not as easy to use as a push-button phone.
Moreover, this kind of mobile phone is expensive and has very low cost performance.
If you want a real touch screen phone to appear on the market, the operating experience of a touch screen phone must exceed that of buttons.
After listening to them chatting for a while, Yu Dong walked to the door and knocked.
Everyone inside turned their heads and looked over, and then they all laughed.
"When it comes to Cao Cao and Cao Cao's arrival, this person can't think of it, and it comes as soon as he thinks of it." Hu Changqing said with a smile.
Wang Jingkang said: "I was just talking about when you would arrive, but I didn't expect you have already arrived."
Two young men, Yang Peng and He Hongwei, clapped and said, "Everyone welcomes the heroes back to China."
Yu Dong rolled his eyes at the two of them, and then said with a smile, "I just heard you talking about your mobile phones outside?"
Wang Jingkang pushed up his glasses, "Well, I just bought a BenQ S1 mobile phone, and I'm not very good at using it yet, so I asked Lao Hu how to use it, and then he shared with us his recent experience of using the BenQ S1. Since we've all talked
When I get a BenQ phone, I will inevitably talk to you."
Hu Changqing curled his lips and said, "I'm not just saying good things. This BenQ S1 still has some shortcomings. Among the many shortcomings, the lack of a color screen is the most intolerable to me. After all, the last mobile phone I used had a color screen.
, do you know how uncomfortable it is to switch from a color screen to a blue screen like this?"
Yu Dong can understand Hu Changqing's complaints. He is not a special case. Ever since the BenQ S1 was launched, the screen has been criticized.
Not using a color screen is just one aspect. After all, most consumers have not used a color screen like Hu Changqing. The most criticized thing is that the screen is too small and the brightness is low.
Especially when setting a music playlist on the page, the information of many songs is incompletely displayed, which greatly affects the experience.
But precisely because the screen is small and the brightness is low, the power consumption of the BenQ S1 phone is relatively low and the battery capacity is large. The battery life of the phone is particularly long.
Yu Dong and others know that it is impossible to make a mobile phone that takes into account all aspects, so they simply give up some things and specialize in one aspect.
What they chose to give up on the S1 phone was naturally the screen.
But they are also making improvements. The next phone in the S series will use a color screen, the screen will be larger, and the battery life may be shorter, but it should not be much different from the S1.
Yu Dong smiled and asked Wang Jingkang, "Mr. Wang, why did you choose BenQ S1?"
"Hey, it actually doesn't matter what phone I use. The main reason is that my wife insists on buying it, and she buys two, one for her and one for me. The reason why she chose the BenQ phone is very simple. It looks good and is suitable for listening to music. But
I have to say, this BenQ S1 listens to music better than other phones. The key is that it is easy to download songs. Just buy it directly from the BenQ store. It is nothing more than spending some money. Also, she also made comments and complained about the color of the headphones.
There are too few, just one kind of white. It would be nice if there were more types, such as red and black. She still prefers red."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "I will definitely give my sister-in-law's feedback to BenQ Mobile's R&D department. As for the screen problem that Secretary Hu mentioned, it will be improved in the next model released next year."
Hu Changqing became interested, "Then I'll wait and see. I change my phone every year. This frequency is just right for me."
Wang Jingkang exclaimed, "I won't buy any mobile phones next year. This time my wife bought two mobile phones, and I feel pain for a long time. I have made up my mind. This mobile phone will not last ten or eight years, and I definitely won't."
Will change."
"It's impossible in ten or eight years. Nowadays, mobile phones are iterating very quickly. If they can be used for five years, it is considered good. After five years, the appearance of mobile phones will definitely change dramatically."
Hearing this, even Hu Changqing, an electronic product enthusiast, raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "How much difference can there be in five years?"
"Didn't you just talk about touch-screen phones? Maybe in five or six years, touch-screen phones will really be around us."
Although Liu Cixin and others believe that touch-screen phones are the development direction of mobile phones, the idea of ​​five or six years is unbelievable to them. In their view, it will definitely have to wait until more than ten years before everyone can really use touch-screen phones.
After all, touch-screen mobile phones appeared six or seven years ago, but there has been no development in the past few years.
However, no one raised any objections. After all, Yu Dong is one of the bosses behind BenQ Mobile. He must have more information than anyone else present, and his predictions about the outside world must be more accurate.
Hu Changqing asked with a smile, "Isn't BenQ Mobile already developing a full touch screen mobile phone? Is there any inside information to share with us?"
Looking at Hu Changqing's expectant eyes, Yu Dong smiled and shook his head, "No, this is just my personal guess."
Hu Changqing curled his lips and said, "We know, it's a business secret."
Yu Dong smiled. This was certainly not a trade secret. In fact, many mobile phone manufacturers were researching touch-screen mobile phones. It was just a question of how much investment they would make.
Since IBM released the Simon mobile phone in 1994, mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola, Sony, and Samsung have also been working hard to find touch screen solutions that are truly suitable for mobile phones.
BenQ Mobile is also doing this, but the manpower and material resources they have invested are very small and can basically be ignored. At this stage, BenQ Mobile's main task is to build a reputation as a "music phone" and stabilize the S series of mobile phones.
As for the research and development of touch screen solutions, in their plan, they will have to wait two to three years before they really invest in it.
After chatting about the BenQ phone, Yu Dong looked at Liu Cixin and asked, "How is your new book? It's the one related to the three-body problem."
Liu Cixin smiled and replied, "I have some clues, but it's still early to start writing. It will probably take some time."
Yu Dong was not surprised at all by this, but He Hongwei next to him asked strangely, "You have been preparing your new book for half a year, right? You haven't started writing it yet. How long will it take to prepare it?"
Liu Cixin shook his head, "It's hard to say. Anyway, it will definitely not work this year, and it will probably be difficult next year. Yang Peng's lungfish talk last time gave me some inspiration, otherwise the progress now will be even slower."
After only asking one question, Yu Dong did not ask about the new book. He looked around the room again, and then asked, "Which of you will sign up for the August writers' visiting group?"
Hearing Yu Dong talk about the writers' delegation, Hu Changqing was surprised and said, "Ah, the registration deadline hasn't ended yet? I only knew that the event was postponed, but I didn't expect that the registration deadline was also postponed."
Yu Dong rolled his eyes, "There is no deadline for registration. You can register at any time before the event starts. You must know that this quota is rare. Many people want it but can't get it."
The people in the room looked at each other and remained silent.
Seeing their reactions, Yu Dong sighed again.
We started planning to organize a visiting group of writers to come here for literary exchange last year. It was originally scheduled for May, but due to various circumstances it was eventually postponed to August.
The event adopts a self-registration system. Writers who have signed a contract with Deep Space Company can sign up to participate. However, it is not necessary to participate, and you need to go through screening.
After the registration started, the enthusiasm of writers was quite high, with hundreds of writers signing up.
But among the hundreds of writers, apart from Yu Dong himself, there is not even a science fiction writer.
In fact, it is easy to understand. First of all, most science fiction writers have their own jobs. For example, Wang Jingkang and Liu Cixin are both engineers, so it is impossible to take a long leave to engage in activities abroad.
Secondly, in everyone's opinion, this kind of activity must be participated by traditional writers and has nothing to do with science fiction writers.
Therefore, there was a situation where no science fiction writers signed up.
Of course Yu Dong hopes that there will be a science fiction writer in the writers group, at least one. This will ensure the diversity of the writers group members and allow them to go out and communicate with others.
Moreover, the purpose of this trip is to promote Chinese literature and bring science fiction writers there, which can also demonstrate our advantages.
After Yu Dong sighed, he first looked at the faces of Liu Cixin and Wang Jingkang, and then excluded them. They both worked in the unit and were not suitable for taking a long leave.
Then Yu Dong looked at Yang Peng and He Hongwei, "You two have nothing else to do at home every day, so you can't go out with us for a walk?"
He Hongwei said quickly, "Brother Dong, you know me. I suffer from airsickness and motion sickness even if I go to Jinling. Isn't going abroad a life-threatening thing? If you don't want me as a little brother, then let me go.
, as long as Brother Dong gives the order, I am willing to sacrifice my life."
Yu Dong looked at Yang Peng again, who raised his hands and said, "Brother, I just made an appointment with someone, and I want to strike while the iron is hot. At this critical moment, I can't be careless and lose Jingzhou."
"Yes, lifelong events are more important."
After asking around, Yu Dong finally looked at Hu Changqing, "Secretary Hu, the time was previously set in May because you said you couldn't let go of the school's affairs. Now it's been changed to August. Is the school okay?"
"There is nothing going on at school, but there is something going on at home. I am different from you. I am a grandfather. I will definitely accompany my grandson when he comes home during the summer vacation."
Yu Dong raised his lips and said, "That's nonsense. If you are willing to accompany me, Xiaohao's parents may not be willing to let you accompany him."
Secretary Hu touched his nose and felt a little ashamed, then stretched his neck and said, "At least my Xiaohao likes me."
