On the other side.
Liu Tianwang looked through the script once.
He only had one thought.
---He would take the role.
He had just finished shooting a movie.
His schedule for the month wasn’t very packed.
Moreover,
Wang Yan had just mentioned that Tang Qing thought he was quite suitable, what was this? This was trust, and it was the result of the relationship he had built with Tang Qing over this period. When a project came up, Tang Qing would think of him first.
As long as it wasn’t too bad, he was prepared to agree.
Besides, the script was not bad.
"Girl, I’ll take it."
"That’s great, regarding the fees and the contract, the company will contact your agent later," Wang Yan said joyfully, as this part was not for Wang Yan to worry about.
Liu Tianwang asked, "Okay, when does shooting start?"
"Next Wednesday, the sub-shot script will be finished, and I will send you a copy. The team and the scene will also follow up, and by the latest, the shooting will start on Monday, April 9th," Wang Yan said.
A short few minutes of MV.
Due to the many scenes involved, it was estimated to take two weeks to complete.
"No problem, I’ll arrive early."
...
The next day.
Morning.
Beijing.
Ministry of Information Industry.
A vice president from Qingyuan Technology, Lai Rong, led the team, standing at the doorstep with the company’s latest developed mobile phones, the solemn plaque at the entrance, and various side plaques alongside, were quite intimidating.
Lai Rong was holding a black backpack.
As if worried about it being stolen.
He was also accompanied by four hardware designers and a software designer because they might need to explain some software and hardware parameters later on, and incidentally, if there was a dinner, they could help block some drinks.
It was said that this place had four difficulties.
Difficult to enter, difficult to face, difficult to manage, difficult to hear, Lai Rong had thought he would also experience a cold shoulder and trouble, but his chairman was capable. Yesterday, he directly told him to wait here.
Someone would take him inside.
He understood the implication.
Tang Qing had pulled some strings.
He had been standing for not even five minutes.
When a young man came up and asked, "Brother, are you here to get something done?"
"Yes," Lai Rong nodded, stepping back two steps, although he didn’t believe that robbery could happen at the entrance of such a department, the world was full of strange things, and one could never be careless.
Seeing Lai Rong holding the backpack.
The man’s eyes lit up, it seemed like there was something good.
"I know people inside, if you need to get something done, I might be able to help out a bit," the young man said enthusiastically. He even tried to pat Lai Rong’s shoulder but was dodged.
Lai Rong knew.
This was someone claiming to be ’capable,’ but whether they were real or not, it was unknown.
"Sorry, I don’t need it," Lai Rong shook his head.
Tang Qing had described Chai Ren’s characteristics.
And this person did not resemble them at all.
Seeing that Lai Rong was unmoved, the young man got a bit impatient.
"Do you know what place this is? Ordinary people that come here, the procedures can cause your death, without a familiar person leading the way, you won’t even be able to find the door, especially for your unknown company, Qingyuan Technology, what are you manufacturing? Walkie-talkies?..."
...
Lai Rong was speechless.
Where did this guy get his sense of superiority from?
Unknown?
Just wait.
Soon.
The world would remember ’Qingyuan Technology.’
Seeing that Lai Rong remained unmoved, the young man was about to speak when a loud shout from the side startled him, "That kid, scoot over, making such a racket early in the morning."
Being scolded like this.
The young man turned around, just about to retort, but when he saw who was coming, he immediately shut his mouth. He didn’t know who the person scolding him was, but he recognized the license plate, starting with Beijing A80.
In the territory of Beijing.
For people he didn’t recognize.
The license plate was the first standard for identity judgment.
Beijing A8 plates were full of influential people.
Behind these plates were elites who walked through the imperial study, tycoons who commanded storms in various industries, snobbish officials, and genteel noblemen.
In any case.
They had powerful people above them.
And significant figures.
"I’m sorry, big brother, I disturbed you," the young man bowed and nodded.
Chai Ren completely ignored the guy.
"Are you Lai Rong?"
Lai Rong hurriedly nodded, "I am, you must be Chairman Chai, right?"
"That’s me, follow me in," Chai Ren said with a smile.
"Alright," Lai Rong said.
Chairman Chai drove towards the department. Lai Rong and his colleagues followed behind until the car drove away, and the young man’s smile finally ceased. Chairman Chai, the Chai family, he quickly made the connection.
That was a massive entity.
Done.
Today’s deal was not happening.
He would go back and eat something nice to calm his nerves.
Parking the car.
"Did you bring everything?"
"All here," Lai Rong quickly nodded.
"Then let’s go, I also want to see what kind of mobile phone Tang Qing has made," Chai Ren said with a smile. After speaking, he directly walked toward the building, honestly, he didn’t know the way, this was his first time here.
"That guy, which floor is Vice Xia’s office on?"
Entering the lobby.
Chai Ren caught someone holding files and asked.
The person was stunned.
This young man was pretty arrogant, as if giving orders.
"What’s the matter?"
Chai Ren said, "It’s no use telling you, I forgot to ask when I spoke to him on the phone."
"Sixth floor," the person said.
"Thanks, let’s go."
Chai Ren and Lai Rong arrived on the sixth floor and found the office.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in."
They pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing Xiao Xuehai.
Chai Ren’s face showed a smile, "Uncle Xiao, long time no see."
"You young man, didn’t we just meet during Chinese New Year? Come on in, sit down. How’s the daughter doing? I heard you’ve been bullied by her at home." Xiao Xuehai stood up and greeted Chai Ren warmly.
He had watched Chai Ren grow up.
Time really flies.
"She’s good, just a bit clingy." Chai Ren sat on the sofa, speaking of his daughter with a face full of happiness; the bullying Xiao Xuehai referred to meant his daughter liked to tug at his beard.
Chai Ren waved to Lai Rong and his team.
"Uncle Xiao, this is Chairman Lai from Qingyuan Technology. They’re about to launch their mobile phones, can you lend them a hand?"
Xiao Xuehai turned his attention to Lai Rong.
Lai Rong hurriedly greeted him.
Chai Ren continued, "Uncle Xiao, Qingyuan Technology is a company started by my good buddy, Tang Qing. They claim to have developed a revolutionary mobile phone, which I haven’t even seen yet since he’s been keeping it a secret."
"Oh? Then I really must see this." Xiao Xuehai became interested.
Lai Rong quickly opened his backpack.
And took out ten boxes.
In a glance.
Chai Ren saw the appearance of the mobile phone on the packaging.
"Is this a mobile phone?" Chai Ren picked up a box in surprise.
He quickly opened it.
In no time.
He held a white smartphone in his hand, loving its feel immediately, much nicer than the first-generation Apple. "Chairman Lai, how do you turn it on? Tell me quickly."
"The small button on the top right corner, press and hold for three seconds," Lai Rong hurriedly explained. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Chai Ren immediately began to operate it.
Xiao Xuehai also received a black phone in his hand.
Turned it on.
After the dynamic startup screen flashed.
The interface popped up.
After that.
Guided by Lai Rong’s explanations.
They slowly learned how to use this smartphone. Lai Rong kept explaining the differences from the first-generation Apple and its innovative aspects. They didn’t even need his explanations; both Chai Ren and Xiao Xuehai were already thrilled.
This smartphone.
It redefined smartphones.
"Does it have any other functionalities?" asked Chai Ren, noting that only basic apps were installed on the phone.
Lai Rong nodded.
"A smartphone, the reason it’s called smart, is that it can host multiple apps, which are applications that provide various functionalities, just like Microsoft’s operating system."
"It can perform basic operations and install games and software, achieving a variety of functionalities. The essence of a smartphone is compatibility, inclusiveness, and unlimited expansion."
These were the words Tang Qing had initially told them.
This was also Tang Qing’s definition of smartphones.
—Infinite possibilities.
"Infinite possibilities, huh?" Xiao Xuehai’s eyes shone with excitement as he looked at Lai Rong. "Do you have any mature apps? I want to try them out." He had already tried making calls and other basic functions.
Lai Rong said, "We have a beta version, but it requires sufficient Internet speed."
"Internet speed?" Xiao Xuehai asked, puzzled.
"Yes, although it’s called a mobile phone, it’s already beyond just a phone. Its lifeblood lies in data, bandwidth, and high-speed internet. To try this app, you need at least a 4G signal or WLAN."
"I know a place with 4G, let’s go and give it a try," hearing this, Xiao Xuehai stood up, extremely curious about how a mobile terminal’s data consumption is ’eaten up’ by a smartphone.
Chai Ren also stood, "Let’s go, I want to see this too."
Lai Rong had no choice but to comply.
They packed up their things.
And followed the two downstairs.
...
Half an hour later.
They arrived in the outskirts of Beijing.
Here was a device testing factory of the ministry, with Huawei’s 4G currently under testing, all 4G related devices were present and connected to the network, there wasn’t a better place than this.
"Quick, grab two 4G testing SIM cards, activate data for this number," Xiao Xuehai told the person in charge.
Not daring to delay.
The manager hurried to the laboratory and took two testing SIM cards, which were already activated with unrestricted data and bandwidth—the factory also had several sets of 4G devices that had been running for nearly a year.
Lai Rong and another engineer proficiently swapped the cards.
Turned them on.
The signal icon on the phone changed to 4G.
Using a data cable connected to a computer, they installed an app store on the phone, which was not present in the test device. There was only one app in the app store - ’Comet Video Beta.’
He clicked download.
In just five seconds.
The 45MB app was downloaded.
Limited by the hardware.
It still couldn’t reach a download speed of a hundred MB.
But it was enough for watching videos.
Xiao Xuehai and Chai Ren both watched as the installation completed, then clicked to open it, and the interface switched to the Comet Video app page, the colors were consistent with its web version, and they found it very familiar.
"The app is installed, and the system is connected to the Comet Video database, you can search and view all videos on Comet Video," Lai Rong handed the two smartphones over.
The two quickly took them.
And started operating.
They opened a video on the homepage.
The screen switched to the video page, and upon pressing the triangle play button, sound immediately came out—it was a comedy program featured on the homepage, they tried fast-forwarding, rewinding, and playing from the middle.
All were very smooth.
Landscape, portrait, screen lock.
These different modes also intrigued them.
Is this a phone?
This is what a phone should be.
By now.
They had this realization.
What they had used before.
Could only be described as a device for making calls. You could imagine, in the future, smartphones would be the mainstream, watch movies, news, and the latest videos anytime, anywhere, and this was just the beginning.
Loaded with different apps.
There lay infinite possibilities.
"Chairman Lai, the current unlimited network might not withstand such high bandwidth," Xiao Xuehai remarked.
"We know, but soon, major mobile manufacturers will also launch similar smartphones, with the whole industry leading, a peak in network speed-up will ensue. The development of 4G globally will accelerate," Lai Rong asserted confidently.
"That’s also true," Xiao Xuehai nodded.
A phone like this.
Needless to say.
Was certainly revolutionary.
When users are not satisfied with the operator’s network, a speed boost becomes inevitable.
It seems.
Huaxia’s Internet speed.
Must also start speeding up now.
A product innovated and created by our own country.
If it can’t be used in our own country.
That would be very ironic.
