Chapter 290 Heroes Come Out of Young People(1/2)
No matter how popular the outside world is, we have to wait until the New Year's Day in China to see the true story.
Similarly, great attention is indeed beneficial, and it is also a great pressure for the quantum simulation computing alliance.
Even within the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance, there is still confidence in the new generation of Tai Chi series personal computers.
But without the final release, no one knows whether it can really open up the market.
There are many such things in the market. There are many products that are well received but not popular. Any high-tech company has opened similar products.
For example, Google Glass.
It received widespread attention and praise when it was first released, and was even considered one of the representative works of future technology.
However, the high price at that time, the possible privacy issues, and the restricted use scenarios were not successful in the consumer market and disappeared soon after.
A few years ago, Apple launched an AR headset, which was also praised and summarized various epoch-making functions, but the result was that the sales volume was even worse than Google Glass, and it was announced that it would be discontinued soon.
To put it bluntly, many times technology companies will fall into a misunderstanding, and the concept of what they make is indeed advanced, but they will be bad when they really start to experience it.
The reason is actually very simple.
Those who control the voice of electronic products on the Internet are often those electronic product enthusiasts.
These people are generally rich and free, and they especially like to experience concept-level products as soon as possible. Even if you have to spend more money on it, it doesn’t matter.
Therefore, their various comments often do not represent the ideas of ordinary people.
Many companies in the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance also have similar experiences. Everyone applauded when it was released, but the answers after listing are annoying, and the input and output are seriously decoupled.
Consumer-grade products have always been very metaphysical, but there are certain rules to follow.
For example, pricing.
Generally speaking, the higher the price, the lower the market share. Compared with the current ordinary high-end computers, the pricing of Tai Chi series products is indeed much higher.
Now it can only be seen whether the public is willing to pay for those functions that have surpassed the times.
The only thing that makes everyone happy is that the Tai Chi series of computers is not only responsible for consumer-grade computer tasks, but strictly speaking, it is still a war without gunpowder.
If this computer is successful, it means that Huaxia has finally made up for the last shortcoming in the field of technology and is ahead of the world at all levels.
So it doesn't matter if the first generation of products loses some money.
As long as the company name is on the credit book, there will be good development in the future. As long as the cost can be reduced in the next few years, everyone will definitely have good development.
Of course, the premise is to rub the classic electronic computer on the ground.
Think about it, if individual PC users all over the world switch their computers to a new generation of computers, what kind of market would it be?
When personal quantum simulation computers start to have a certain market, they can still link mobile phones with various smart wearable devices to make full-ecological products. This is the ambition of the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance for the future.
This is an electronic consumer market with an average annual average of at least 10 trillion yuan.
This huge market has supported Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia, Apple, Qualcomm, Google, Samsung, and China's high-tech companies and their upstream and downstream industrial chains.
Not to mention snatching all this market, even if you only grab a small half, it is still the highest-end half, which is enough for all companies in the entire alliance to make a fortune in the next few decades.
Once successful, it can basically be understood as transferring the most profitable high-tech companies in Silicon Valley in the United States to China.
So as the press conference approaches, corporate tycoons will feel that pressure is inevitable.
Even if the first batch of products are not successful, the superiors will definitely help them with the bottom line, and will not let them lose too much, and will definitely not let them go bankrupt because of poor sales of a product.
But after all, it is a hundreds of billions of investment. It is the best if it can be made in one shot.
Of course, Qiao Yu cannot feel these pressures.
In his opinion, Tai Chi series products may not be able to make a big profit, but it is definitely no problem to make a small profit.
At least there will definitely be enough profits for those companies to continue to invest independently to optimize and expand the industrial chain and find ways to reduce costs.
He still has this confidence.
After all, he personally designed this product. In particular, although the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance Committee has great power, they cannot get into the core research centers.
Especially the Quantum Simulation Software Science Research Center. Therefore, the actual situation they have mastered is not comprehensive.
Of course, if the sales of the first generation of Tai Chi products are really not ideal, Qiao Yu also thinks it's nothing. Anyway, he will definitely not lose money.
If it really doesn't work, just build a quantum security server. At least those large financial companies and banks can definitely make money.
By making money from the richest people in the world, you can still invest a lot to reduce industrial costs.
As long as the cost is reduced, the future price of quantum simulation computers is only 10% or 20% more expensive than electronic computers, and that will inevitably be stable.
In short, Qiao Yu felt that he had no reason to lose anyway. According to some people on the Internet, there were indeed only three options: small win, medium win and big win.
So during this period, although many people in the internal committee of the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance wanted to interview Qiao Yu, they were all rejected by Qiao Yu.
After all, the CEOs of those foreign high-tech companies were rejected, and the CEOs wanted to meet Qiao Yu, and they focused on treating each other equally.
The reason is also very good. He needs to prepare for this product launch conference, so if you want to meet and talk, you can wait until after the launch conference.
But in fact, Qiao Yu really doesn’t have much preparation, and he doesn’t even need PPT.
Because the functions that need to be displayed to the outside world have been prepared long ago, no matter from any level, they are enough to bring some small technological shock to the world.
Even in just two hours, Qiao Yu didn't plan to spend too much time introducing the performance improvements for classic computers.
Qiao Yu felt that there was no need at all.
Just this press conference does not require PPT, Qiao Yu feels that he can conquer ten percent of the users in this world.
Yes, the whole world.
In this way, with the high attention of electronic enthusiasts around the world, 2032 is approaching little by little.
What’s different from previous years on this year’s New Year’s Eve in Beijing is that the official has specially prepared two grand performances, a fireworks show, and a drone show...
Obviously this is also intentional.
After all, this year's New Year's Eve is a bit different from previous years. Almost all senior executives from high-tech headquarters in the world gather in the capital.
Let me put it this way, if any safety accidents really occur in the hotel where these executives are arranged to stay, although the development of technology around the world will not have an impact, the global stock market will inevitably fluctuate for several weeks...
The big guys from high-tech companies received invitations and went there for these two large-scale performance shows.
Qiao Yu naturally received the invitation, but he didn't go. First, he didn't want to meet the big guys in advance; second, there was nothing to be a pity.
After all, after the press conference, there may be a more lively performance show during the Chinese New Year.
Anyway, Qiao Yu thought so, let alone have to have a good rest tonight.
...
January 1, 2032, 8:00 in the morning.
All the streets around Yanbei University were in a state of congestion and luxury cars gathered.
Although I was notified yesterday that there will be traffic control on several roads around Yanbei University today.
However, the vehicles with invitation letters alone are enough to fill the roads that are not quite wide.
The world-renowned product launch conference will be held at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the Centennial Lecture Hall will start on time.
Although the time is set at 10 o'clock, just after 9 o'clock, except for the guest seats with names in the front rows, the audience room that can accommodate more than 2,000 people is almost full.
A promotional video of a new generation of quantum simulation computers is playing loops on the curtain on the rostrum.
In fact, the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance originally planned to place this press conference at a national conference center that can accommodate nearly 6,000 people.
But he was rejected by Qiao Yu.
In Qiao Yu's opinion, it is just a product launch conference. There is no need to come to the scene. It is enough for the conference hall to accommodate more than 2,000 people.
Especially when this press conference was held at Yanbei University, it can also enhance the international influence of Yanbei University.
Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't need to run too far. And occupying the home advantage can make Qiao Yu more confident. For example, security work is very convenient.
The volunteers recruited by the school are not only responsible for maintaining order and safety on site, but are almost all from the same unit as Zheng Xiwen, which is particularly professional.
When I arrived outside the auditorium, the school security guards could basically rest today, and they were all replaced by armed police.
At this time, Qiao Yu had also arrived in the conference hall, but was in the lounge specially arranged for him next to him.
Just like the hall that was almost full outside, the lounge was actually quite lively at this time.
But there are no messy people. Apart from Zheng Xiwen who has been by his side, there are only Tian Yanzhen, Yuan Zhengxin, Qiao Xi, Xia Keke and Professor Xue.
...
"How are you prepared?"
After saying hello, Qiao Xi had already pulled Xia Keke to sit by and said something while Yuan Zhengxin sat beside Qiao Yu and asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Shi, when did I disappoint you in doing things?"
Qiao Yu said confidently, of course this is indeed a big truth.
It is hard to say whether Qiao Yu has disappointed others, but he has never disappointed Yuan Zhengxin. Every time he completes the task beyond his expectations.
Yuan Zhengxin also smiled even more kindly, but Tian Yanzhen next to her couldn't help but teach her a lesson: "Don't be so confident. If you make the scene so big, don't wait for any problems. It's not just your face to lose."
Qiao Yu pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Director Tian, what big scene is this? That's a big scene. Do you think I've ever been stage frightened every time I attend a mathematician conference?"
To be continued...
