Chapter 143 Good news for the clumsy
Gong Jiayun calmed down a little and didn’t rush over. Instead, she communicated with the photographer and decided to record a simple oral broadcast with the stage as the background from a distance, expressing her true feelings at the moment.
After recording the oral broadcast, Gong Jiayun and the photographer came to the stage quietly. After explaining their identities to the staff, the photographer was arranged to shoot at the left side of the second row under the stage. Although the angle was a bit off, he had no complaints.
The first row and the middle angle were all bigwigs in the media industry. How dare he compete with them for the angle?
And weren’t the photographers from Huaguang Village and Pacific honestly next to him?
It was much more comfortable to get together with colleagues and chat than to go to the front to find trouble.
And Gong Jiayun, under the guidance of the staff, sat in the third row of the audience.
The seats in front of her were basically still empty at the moment, and no one knew who they were reserved for.
Many people entered the venue early, but did not come directly to the venue, but first visited the Bird’s Nest and checked in.
As the time of the press conference got closer, they gathered one after another, and the scene gradually became lively.
Most of them were users and fans of Daqin Optics, and they had common topics with each other. They were all a little excited about this offline date.
Especially when I saw that the media lineup at the press conference was unexpectedly large, and some media even came to interview users, I felt a sense of pride in my heart.
Did you see it? Being a Daqin fan is so impressive! In order to relieve the anxiety during the waiting process, Gong Jiayun took the initiative to chat with the boy next to her.
After learning that he was actually the popular next-door classmate Li from the digital channel of the small broken station, I couldn’t help but look at him carefully in surprise and found that it was really him.
“The light was too dim, I almost didn’t recognize you.”
”It’s normal that you didn’t recognize me.” Li Chen smiled faintly, “After all, I am completely different today than usual.”
”Really?”
Gong Jiayun looked Li Chen up and down again, and found that he was indeed dressed up carefully today, and changed into a more mature suit.
In the usual videos, he always wears casual clothes.
”How about it, are you particularly handsome today?”
”…”
Seeing Li Chen’s sweet smile to her, Gong Jiayun couldn’t help but be a little speechless.
If it were someone else, she would probably have retorted immediately.
But it must be said that Li Chen’s dress today is still quite a plus, and he really has a sense of déjà vu of a handsome and sunny boy.
So this guy is really tall, rich and handsome, and even quite talented.
He is still in college, but he has millions of fans on his website. Although his overall influence is not as good as their technology frontline, he can definitely crush their technology frontline in the niche field of digital cameras.
A potential stock! It’s just that he is a little young, and he seems to be an old cow eating young grass…
”Hey, isn’t that Uncle Chen? Why is he here too?”
Just when Gong Jiayun couldn’t help but start to think wildly, Li Chen suddenly whispered to himself in confusion.
Uncle Chen? She immediately followed Li Chen’s gaze and immediately recognized the Uncle Chen that Li Chen mentioned,
Chen Yunming, President of Shencheng Silicon Industry Group! Not only Chen Yunming, but also Vice President Dong Jianyuan came.
And behind them,
Senior leaders of companies and groups such as Lianwei, Huahong Group, and SMIC also entered the venue one after another! As a media editor of technology information, Gong Jiayun knew almost all of these people.
These are all super bosses in the domestic semiconductor industry.
A press conference of a lens manufacturer turned into a semiconductor industry conference? However, Gong Jiayun thought about it and realized that the silicon wafer customers of Dahan Silicon Industry seemed to be these companies, so it was reasonable for them to come and support Kang Chi.
It can only be said that Kang Chi has a lot of face.
However, Gong Jiayun was surprised to find that
these big guys did not sit in the first row, but sat in the row in front of her!
For example, in front of Li Chen sat Chen Yunming, and then Li Chen took the initiative to approach him and called him Uncle Chen, and then the two immediately started chatting.
It seems to be an acquaintance.
Gong Jiayun couldn’t help but prick up her ears to listen to what they were talking about, but because the music and the audience were too loud, she could only guess from Li Chen’s expression that he should be asking Chen Yunming why he came and if there was any inside information.
So she put her eyes back on the empty seat in the front row.
No need to guess, there are more important people coming tonight!
This made Gong Jiayun suddenly feel that she seemed a little out of place with the environment here.
Just, I don’t feel that cool.
God knows that when she first entered, she was a little disgusted with Daqin Optics for ignoring her…
Just five minutes before the countdown to the press conference, the most important people finally began to enter.
Gong Jiayun saw the protagonist of the night, Kang Chi, the chairman of Daqin Optics.
At this time, he was walking into the audience with a group of leaders. Gong Jiayun didn’t know most of them, but she recognized the ones in the middle at a glance.
Director Lu of the Ministry of Science and Technology! And Academician Zhang Dayuan and Academician Wu Lihong!
Although Gong Jiayun had seen these people many times on the news, it was the first time she saw them in real life.
No wonder even Chen Yunming and the others could only sit in the second row…
Fang Qiming, who was originally thought to be on stage tonight, just followed at the back of this group of bigwigs and had no sense of existence at all.
Even so, his face was flushed, and you could tell at a glance that he was excited at the moment.
So, what big thing is going on tonight? It’s worth so many technology bigwigs to appear?
Gong Jiayun felt that there were countless ants biting in her heart, and she wished that the press conference would start immediately.
Fortunately, as the countdown ended, the lights on the scene dimmed immediately, and Kang Chi finally walked onto the stage slowly in the sight of nearly a thousand people on the scene.
Generally, other companies’ new product launches would start with a company introduction VCR,
But Daqin Optics had never shot a corporate promotional video, so this link was omitted.
After Kang Chi walked onto the stage, he looked at the dense crowd below the stage, and when he thought that there were more people watching the live broadcast, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
The last time I gave a speech in front of so many people was at the flag-raising ceremony on Monday in my second year of high school. Because I had a fight with someone, I went up to make a self-criticism to all the students in the school…
It was a bit dramatic.
After Kang Chi calmed down, he picked up the microphone and said, “Good evening, everyone. I am Kang Chi, the chairman of Daqin Optics.”
”First of all, I want to thank all the friends who came to the scene. They came here in the cold wind of zero degrees in Yanjing. It can be seen that everyone really loves our Daqin Optics!”
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and some people whistled.
Since the ordinary audience was in the back, they didn’t know that there were so many leaders in front of them, so they were quite free. And the leaders didn’t care, and even felt that this relaxed atmosphere was much more interesting than usual meetings and activities.
After the scene was a little quiet, Kang Chi continued: “In addition, I would like to thank the fans and users who were unable to come to the scene. It is your continuous support that has enabled Daqin Optics to develop from a toy lens factory to a domestic lens brand that occupies 36% of the domestic lens market. Finally, we are even fortunate to hold Daqin Optics’ first new product launch conference in the sacred place of the Bird’s Nest. Thank you all!”
Kang Chi bowed deeply to the audience and the lens below the stage, and everyone immediately gave warm applause.
After Kang Chi stood up, he smiled and continued: “The weather is a bit cold. In order not to let everyone be cold for too long, I will try to speed up next…”
As Kang Chi pressed the button in his hand, a slide appeared on the big screen behind him.
This slide is full of comments and messages from users.
”We at Daqin Optics have always listened carefully to the opinions and demands of users. According to our analysis, since the release of our third-generation lens, the most common one is…”
[Why haven’t we released autofocus lenses yet! 】
After the user screenshot on the big screen was enlarged, these big words appeared.
Seeing this, the users of Daqin Optics were immediately excited.
”It’s an autofocus lens!”
”Fuck, I’m so touched. Daqin Optics finally took us clumsy people into consideration!”
”Haha, actually I guessed it a long time ago. The image quality of Daqin Optics’ lenses is already very good. It’s difficult to improve the image quality.The degree must be very large, so the new product must be an autofocus lens. ”
”…”
In the Daqin Optics live broadcast room of the small broken station, there were only tens of thousands of viewers at this time, and the barrage was sparse and deserted, making many people even doubt how many real people there were.
Until Kang Chi got to the point, a bunch of viewers who were too lazy to type immediately exploded, and the barrage began to float like snowflakes.
This group of people fully explained what it means to not see the rabbit, but not the eagle…
”That’s right, the first product released today is the autofocus lens that everyone has been calling for the most. ”
As Kang Chi pressed the button again, the background switched to a new lens, with detailed parameters of the lens next to it.
Product name: Daqin Optics 24-70mm F2.8Ⅳ.
Maximum aperture: F2.8,
Lens net weight: 455 grams, Frame: 135 full frame, Frame type: standard zoom,
“Compared with the previous generation, the main improvement of this lens is the addition of autofocus function. The image quality is actually the same as the third generation lens.”
“As for the performance of autofocus, I think this is a very subjective question, and it also depends on the model of camera the lens is installed on.”
“So I won’t describe this aspect too much. You can watch more specific function demonstration videos on our official website later, or wait for other users’ evaluation videos and usage experiences. ”
”What I can tell you directly here is that the focus motor installed on this lens is the same as the micro motor on Dahan Silicon’s silicon wafer grinding equipment. I believe you all know how high the requirements of silicon wafer grinding equipment are for the precision, response speed, and quietness and shockproofness of the drive motor. ”
In fact, this 24-70mm standard zoom lens is only the third generation in a strict sense.
Because the first generation lens of Daqin Optics only had the 50mm fixed focus lens with a full sense of plasticity,
It was not until the second generation lens was released that lenses of various focal lengths were launched one after another.
However, Daqin Optics defines the lens not by the time it was released, but by the technical level used. For example, this 24-70mm F2.8Ⅳ, the Ⅳ at the end actually refers to the fourth generation technology.
Tracing back the price, the second generation was priced at 399, and the third generation was 1299.
The third generation’s image quality competitor is Sony’s FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM Master lens, priced at 13999.
The difference between the two is more than ten times!
Except for the lack of autofocus, its price is definitely really attractive.
Now that the last shortcoming has been made up, everyone is looking forward to how much it will cost…
As for the parameters of the lens, Kang Chi only briefly mentioned it. He did not spend an hour or two introducing various parameters in a long speech like other technology companies’ new product launches.
Less than three minutes after the product was announced, he went straight to the price link that everyone was most concerned about.
As Kang Chi pressed the remote control in his hand, four big numbers suddenly appeared on the screen.
1999!
Seeing Kang Chi directly announce the price, the audience was a little caught off guard.
”Fuck, the big three with autofocus is only 1999?”
”Why didn’t Mr. Kang play by the rules and announce the price right away? Shouldn’t we whet the audience’s appetite…”
”It’s only 700 more expensive than the third generation!”
”A price butcher: I’ll help you lower the price of the autofocus lens!”
”Soni: 1999 autofocus lens? I’m scared!”
”…”
Looking at the crazy barrage of comments in the live broadcast room, the executives of Soni, who were also paying attention to the press conference, all looked a little ugly.
Although Fujita Yoshiki’s tone was light at the beginning, he actually summoned the senior executives of the entire Dahua area today and waited in the conference room together for the start of this live broadcast.
”1999? Are you kidding?”
”With the quality of their products, they can actually sell them at a higher price, right?”
”Damn, we can all make money together, why do we have to overturn the table? !”
”They don’t have our bayonet protocol, how can they achieve autofocus? ”
“I guess they cracked our camera mount…”
“Then we can sue them directly, and we can also upgrade the firmware to block their lens authorization!”
“SueThey? Have you forgotten the last patent case? Maybe they will sue us for monopoly…”
“…”
A group of executives couldn’t help but start talking.
Yoshiki Fujita remained silent, because he knew Kang Chi was not a stupid person. Since he did this, he must have a backup plan.
All he could do now was to quietly wait for Kang Chi’s backup plan, and then he could think of a targeted solution.
Thinking of this, Yoshiki Fujita couldn’t help rubbing his eyes.
I didn’t expect that in just one year, that small lens factory could put their Sony digital camera business into such a passive situation…
