My Attic Connects To Other Worlds - v2 Chapter 151
The launch of Imperial Technology’s parrot translator is also incredibly low-key.
Not only there was no press conference, but there was not even a piece of news, so it was put on the shelves quietly.
It is because there are countless people who want to boycott the products of Imperial Technology, so they always pay attention to it, and this was discovered.
In short, Imperial Technology released this product as if for fear that others would buy it.
There are no advertisements at all.
The key to this product, there is no specialty store.
Only online sales can be sold directly on the official website or purchased on major e-commerce platforms.
To be honest, you need people with much money and heart to buy such a product directly.
But there are such people in the world.
Liang Sisi is an avid global travel enthusiast and a rich woman who has traveled to dozens of countries around the world.
She has a personal pain, that is, her English is not good.
When communicating with people outside, it’s all words jumping out, even with an electronic dictionary.
That dumb feeling is too uncomfortable.
Although she is in her thirties, she is very elegant and beautiful.
Every time in the hotel, in the restaurant, she wants to express this kind of elegance and decency.
There are also in luxury stores.
However, language barriers completely ruined this elegance.
When you don’t know how to order, when you don’t know what to say and what bag you want to buy.
You and the waiter are both anxious to get angry, there is no half of elegance.
Of course, you can also go out with an interpreter, but traveling is a very private act.
And after traveling to dozens of countries, she not only became curious about the beautiful scenery, she also had an impulse to communicate with the locals.
However, if the language is not clear, this kind of communication becomes extremely difficult.
In short, this kind of feeling is difficult for ordinary people to experience, because most people live in the country, even if they go to travel, they are still watching the flowers with the group.
Only a very small number of people have such a demand.
This is an extremely painful point.
So Liang Sisi once thought about how great it would be if there was a product that could translate in real time.
She doesn’t expect to have many languages, as long as Chinese-English translation is enough, and she doesn’t require too high accuracy, 80% is enough.
So when the parrot translator of Imperial Technology was launched, Liang Sisi couldn’t wait to buy it.
Then, she was full of boundless expectations.
Because a week later, she is leaving for Italy again, this is the third time she has gone.
This time I took the southern route, mainly Sicily, and the tickets have already been booked.
As for the price of 19999, to be honest, she didn’t care at all and didn’t blink her eyes.
After the express arrived, she couldn’t wait to open it.
Wow!
First-rate feel, first-rate appearance, and first-rate design.
And it is very light, less than a hundred grams, and it is magnetically charged.
Seriously, she thought it was like a recording pen, but she didn’t expect it to look so beautiful.
There is also a small screen, a long strip, about less than 1.5 inches, but the display effect is very delicate.
After receiving the hand, Liang Sisi didn’t know what to do.
What driver should I download? What language pack should I install?
Women are inherently insensitive to such electronic products.
In order to test this parrot translator, she specially found her best friend, a simultaneous translator who is proficient in Chinese, English and Italian languages.
Liang Sisi opened the instructions.
Then, she was stunned.
This… This is the simplest manual it has ever seen.
No settings are required. When you want to translate, just press the round button to speak.
For example, if you want to translate into English, you just say it at the beginning and translate into English.
The second part of the manual is that when the charging cable is plugged into the USB port of the computer, the language pack will be automatically upgraded. Of course, it does not matter if it is not upgraded.
The third item of the manual is to teach you how to charge.
This…isn’t this manual too rudimentary?
Liang Sisi said to the translator, “I will translate my words into English.”
The translator said: “Okay, no problem.”
Then Liang Sisi stayed.
Because this sound is not a mechanical electronic sound at all, but a very gentle female voice.
The most important thing is that this voice is very, very similar to her voice, 95% similarity.
In other words, it is hard to tell, as if Liang Sisi is talking.
This… this is horrible.
There is no learning process, and there is no setting.
Liang Sisi said: “This, is this all right?”
She is talking to herself.
The parrot translator said: “Yes, that’s it, don’t worry and speak boldly.”
Liang Sisi was stunned again. According to the logic of electronic products, this sentence translator should be translated into English. It was so smart that it directly answered Liang Sisi’s question.
Liang Sisi thought for a while and said, “Hello, I want to ask, how much is this bag?”
Without any waiting, after confirming that Liang Sisi finished speaking, the parrot translator directly spoke English.
Moreover, it was entirely in Liang Sisi’s voice, as well as intonation.
Very standard English.
There is no sound of mechatronics at all, as if a person is speaking English.
Liang Sisi couldn’t help but look at this friend beside her, she was the expert.
“Lili, is this the right translation?” Liang Sisi asked.
The friend next to him nodded and said, “Yes, it’s completely correct.”
Liang Sisi said another sentence.
“I want a filet steak, 5 minutes ripe, with a little rosemary, not too salty, just a little bit of black pepper, not butter, but olive oil.”
There is still no waiting.
The parrot translator translates directly into English.
Liang Sisi looked at her friend again.
My friend was stunned, because the translation was still 100% correct, even if it was changed to her professional simultaneous translation, it could not be better.
No, it’s harder to choose.
Li Li took the translator and pressed the round button and said, “I don’t know whether we have our own destiny, or if we just drift around in the wind.”
There is still no waiting.
The parrot translator said directly: “Idon, tknowifweeachhaveadestiny, orifwe, realljustfloatingaroundaccidental—likeonabreeze.”
The professional simultaneous translator Li Li was stunned.
Because at this time, the voice of the translator was 90% similar to her.
And the intonation is also very the same.
“Chaos is not an abyss. Chaos is a ladder. Many people want to climb up, but they fail, and they never have a chance to try again.”
“Chaosisn, tapit.Chaosisaladder.Manywhotrytoclimbitfail, andnevergettotryagain.”
Next, Li Li’s sentences became harder and harder.
Started to use idioms, slang, and aphorisms a lot, and started to lay traps.
For example, people’s names, place names, and verbs are confused, such as using a lot of homophones.
However, this parrot translator was all translated in an instant.
And it’s completely correct.
Not 100% accurate, but 120% accurate.
Because many idioms can be directly translated in the past, but they will appear blunt. There are similar allusions in the West, and the expression is more precise.
The parrot translator can always find the most suitable sentence.
Next, Li Li tried to make the parrot translator translate into Italian.
Still completely correct.
Li Li tested more crazily and let the parrot translator translate into Sicilian.
Sicilian is an Italian dialect, and it is still very different from Italian.
As a result, the parrot translator is still completely correct.
But embarrassingly, Li Li’s Sicilian proficiency barely passed the standard, and she still couldn’t judge the level of the parrot translator.
Next, the two women began to constantly test various languages.
Even in Cantonese and Shanghainese, there is still no problem.
The two of them were completely stunned, especially Li Li, who felt her scalp tingling.
“I’m done, I’m going to be unemployed.”
Liang Sisi said: “Is it powerful?”
Li Li said: “I can’t describe how amazing it is. It’s a magical tool. It’s too bad. I can’t imagine how it can be done. This is not something that the vocabulary can solve. It seems to have a hidden inside it. An extremely smart translator, a translator who is proficient in hundreds of languages, and can learn to simulate anyone’s voice.”
“It took me a million to read a PhD before I became a simultaneous translator for the three languages. As a result, this thing was only sold for 1999, and I was proficient in hundreds of languages. It was crazy and terrible.”
“Imperial Technology is crazy. I understand what Wang Huan said. This kind of product doesn’t bother to sell it at all. It is a great gift to sell you at a price of 19,999. This is not a commodity at all, but a magical tool. what.”
………………………………
Next, Liang Sisi and Li Li, who were extremely excited, shot a video introducing the parrot translator.
This can be said to be sharing or evaluation.
Because Liang Sisi and Li Li were so excited, they really couldn’t help sharing such a magical product with countless people.
But… after the video was uploaded.
Soon there was a blockbuster of curses.
“Navy, Wang Huan’s navy. How much is this video? Where can I sign up? Bring me one.”
“Imperial Technology can’t help it anymore, and it’s starting to buy the navy to brag about its own products, shameless.”
“The two **** in the video, do you still have dignity? Do you have personality? People say you are unworthy, and Imperial Technology has trampled on your dignity. Video promotion? Kneeling and licking Imperial Technology, kneeling and licking Wang Huan, why didn’t your father shoot you on the wall back then?”
“Spent 20,000 yuan to buy a translator. It’s really a rich man. Has it been fostered? Is there anyone like this woman?”
“This kind of woman is either the junior of a corrupt official or the daughter of a corrupt official. It is recommended that the relevant department check her house and make sure that it can’t be wrong, and the corrupt official will definitely be caught.”
“The woman who posted the video, do you know what your behavior looks like? It’s like after being forced by a little Japanese dog, she still came out and shouted hello, saying that she was very cool. Imperial technology trampled on your dignity, but you desperately applauded During the war, people like you are shameless traitors.”
Pause time.
Liang Sisi was directly cursed by countless people and became autistic.
She has never been scolded by so many people, or scolded by such crazy language.
She was very puzzled, she just shared a video about how useful this parrot translator is.
Why are so many people cursing her in such a vicious tone?
Why does it seem to hate her more than killing her father’s enemy?
In less than two days, she couldn’t bear the pressure, so she deleted this video.
Not only her, but other users.
After using the parrot translator, I suddenly felt that it was an incomparable artifact, just like magic, it was an artifact.
These people can’t help but write articles and share videos on forums.
But basically they were verbally abused and attacked.
It is a personal attack directly.
Some people can’t help but scold, and more people choose to delete posts and videos.
After buying the parrot translator over there, Hammer directly smashed it with a hammer. The video hits tens of millions and hundreds of millions. He became an Internet celebrity and caused a group of people to follow suit.
As for the video evaluating the translator, I couldn’t help but feel the urge to say many words of praise, and was scolded by countless people as autistic and sprayed as a naval force.
But this thing has spread in small circles.
Sharing face to face with acquaintances will never be scolded, right?
In this way, people in need have started.
In just one month, 30,000 pieces of this thing were sold.
Among them, 10,000 are domestic and 20,000 are abroad.
There are so many rich people.
But for this group of people, this translator is really just needed.
This gadget is sold in 1999, 30,000 a month, that is 600 million yuan.
And the profit rate is more than 90%, this kind of money-making speed is completely comparable to a money printing machine.
Especially abroad.
The parrot translator is completely popular.
It is amazing.
There are many authoritative and **** evaluation videos in Europe and America.
When commenting on this product, no one said anything about the shortcomings.
I completely exhausted my own words of praise, and some video owners even knelt on their chairs to record videos during the entire process.
This is the reason for watching “Three Body 1” at that time.
Mom asked me why I watched a movie on my knees.
So now some video owners feel that the five bodies are on the ground, so they kneel for evaluation.
Generally speaking, manufacturers kneel down on these assessors and spend money on adverts.
And after often paying out tens of millions, they may not be able to get many praises. After receiving the money, many people still scold them.
However, these video owners not only have to pay for the promotion fee, but also pay for their own translators for evaluation. After the evaluation is over, they have to recommend and praise crazily, which is more positive than collecting money.
No way, it is really conquered by the power of this translator.
You should know that it is more expensive to buy this translator in European and American countries, and tariffs are required.
The most expensive place in the world, when converted into RMB, costs almost 30,000.
Despite its popularity, this product… is still very niche.
If the Lightning browser is awesome, it is not obvious enough.
The parrot translator, completely described as magic, was directly promoted to the altar.
but……
Even if it is promoted to the altar, it is also the altar of the super niche crowd.
Because a few months after its release, its total global sales volume did not exceed one hundred thousand.
And its future sales growth rate will be very slow.
Because it will not be upgraded, a translator will last for more than ten years at least.
Those who should buy in the end bought them.
People who can’t buy will never buy.
It is difficult for these foreign videos to praise the parrot translator to avoid being transported to the country, and subtitles are added.
Then, there are a lot of replies underneath.
“Imperial Science and Technology is so slippery, exporting to domestic sales, foreign uncles say that it is really good? It’s disgusting.”
“What did I think of? The advertisement for the stomach must be cured, a foreigner took the stomach must be cured, and said in bad Chinese that he had a stomach problem. Please remember that 1234 the stomach must be cured.”
“It can be seen from this that Imperial Technology is a company that admires foreigners and foreigners. You still want to use foreigners to promote it. Does it have a fragrance outside the wall? It’s a pity that China has stood up a long time ago, and your set will not work. “
“I don’t feel a little proud of seeing these videos of foreigners praising the parrot translator. I just feel disgusted. Wang Huan was once a Chinese hero, but now he has fallen to this point.”
“The upstairs is OUT. In 2007, Wang Huan had already betrayed the country. They eliminated the terrorists and saved hundreds of Americans. They were called American heroes and American superman. At that time, the American president was on the side. Stepping on our country, while complimenting Wang Huan, and saying that our China is not worthy of the birth of a hero like Wang Huan, I remember it clearly.”
………………………………
2011, March 9.
Wang Xin was invited to participate in the 60th anniversary of the high school’s alma mater. He didn’t want to go, but the high school class teacher came all the way to invite.
Therefore, Wang Xin could only go.
With Wang Huan’s approval, he plans to donate RMB 3 million to his alma mater in the high school.
After learning this news, Wang Xin’s alma mater was very happy.
Wang Xin went very low-key. In the past year or so, the top executives of Imperial Technology have basically learned from the basics, trying to avoid too much contact with the outside world.
After all, not everyone is as tough as Wang Huan.
He felt that there should not be many people paying attention to the celebration of a county high school, and there would be no media going there.
School celebration day.
It was very lively, and the leaders of the county and even the leaders of the city came.
Hundreds of students performed one show after another.
These leaders are very polite to Wang Xin, and they are even a bit pleased in their words, and they all want to invest in projects.
Wang Xin originally wanted to donate these three million in a low-key manner.
But I did not expect that the alma mater of the high school held a grand donation ceremony.
Moreover, let him be the main speaker.
Wang Xin gave a speech for a few minutes, not out of line at all, completely satisfactory.
In the afternoon, the high school alma mater carried out various activities.
One of them is the inter-term dialogue of the school.
It is in the lecture hall that the most successful person from this school accepts questions from the best high school students in this school.
The so-called inter-term is the ninety-fifth and the ninety-eight, and they are called seniors, younger brothers and younger sisters.
“Senior Wang Xin, I’m Jiang Xinyan, the Communist Youth League secretary of Class 2 of High School. I have a few questions I want to ask you.” A girl stood up.
At first glance, she knew that this girl had good academic performance and was a class leader.
Wang Xin said: “Yes.”
Jiang Xin, the party secretary of the senior high school, said: “Your brother Wang Huan was once a hero of the country and the pride of countless people, but now he has been abandoned by countless people and lost his glory. What do you think?”
Wang Xin was taken aback, but still seriously answered: “In my heart, my brother will always be my pride.”
Jiang Xin said: “Even his immoral marriage relationship?”
Wang Xin said, “This is my brother’s private life. I have no right to interfere.”
Jiang Xinyan asked again: “You once said publicly that anyone who resists imperial technology is not worthy of its products. We all know that we are a socialist country and everything is for the people. Then I would like to ask you to say this. , Is it a decadent emperor’s thought? Is there a remnant of feudal privilege thought?”
As soon as this question came up, the students present immediately applauded loudly and cheered.
Everyone thinks this Jiang Xinyan dared to speak and fight against authority, which is very cool.
Wang Xin still earnestly said: “We are also serving the people, and we are doing an extremely great cause. It’s just that this cause is very long and will definitely be misunderstood, but I firmly believe that one day, countless people will understand our great cause. You will know that we have made a tremendous contribution to this country and people.”
Jiang Xin said: “Is it a translator for 19,999 yuan? Is this your great cause? Mr. Wang Xin, do you know the average income of the people in our country? Do you know how many poor people we have? You keep talking about the great cause. , When did your Empire Technology think about serving them?”
The principal had just finished sending a group of leaders and walked into the lecture hall, suddenly shocked.
“Okay, don’t mention anything that is irrelevant.” The principal immediately stopped and said: “Please ask the next student to ask questions. We are all students. We need to ask questions and study-related topics.”
Jiang Xinyan smiled chicly and sat down, filled with the smile of a winner.
At the end of the event, the principal came to apologize to Wang Xin.
“Mr. Wang Xin, don’t care about it, children, just like to play with personality, we will criticize her.”
Wang Xin said: “It’s nothing, everyone expresses their opinions.”
Then Wang Xin said, “Mr. Principal, I am very busy with my work. I’m leaving here. There are still many jobs waiting for me.”
The principal said: “There is one last item on the agenda, and the last item. You are a distinguished guest of our school. Next, how would you please personally present the awards for our nine three-good students? It can be regarded as an incentive for them as an outstanding senior.”
Wang Xin nodded and said, “Okay.”
………………………………
Jiang Xinyan, the party secretary of the junior high school girl who questioned Wang Xin in communication just now, is extremely angry now.
Originally, she was a three-good student at the school, but because she posed impolite questions to Wang Xin at the exchange meeting just now, she lost the honor of the three-good student and was replaced by another classmate.
After being notified by the head teacher of this matter.
“I see.” She left the office blankly.
She was angry, but full of strength.
I feel that I am like a hero who has been persecuted in the old society. I have to straighten my back and stand proud head all the time.
after an hour.
In the school’s auditorium, a grand awarding ceremony of the three good students was held.
Thousands of teachers and students in the school witnessed this moment.
In the impassioned music, the hostess teacher said: “Now we have Mr. Wang Xin, the vice president of Empire Technology, to present awards to the nine students of the school. Everyone warmly applauds.”
In applause.
Nine Miyoshi students from the school took to the stage.
Three people in each grade.
As a guest, Wang Xin handed out the awards of three good students to nine students one by one.
And shook hands cordially with every student.
The hostess said: “Now I invite the representative of the outstanding three-good student, Xu Minhao from Class 6 of the third grade, to speak.”
A handsome boy walked up to the microphone.
“I am very honored to receive this honor, and I will cherish it.”
“but……”
“I can’t ask for this certificate, because it was awarded to me by Wang Xin, the vice president of Imperial Technology.”
“Just now, classmate Jiang Xinyan was persecuted by Wang Xin for telling the truth, and he lost his qualifications as a Miyoshi student.”
“So this honor, I don’t want it either!”
“I think the vice president of Imperial Technology, Wang Huan’s younger brother, is not worthy of giving us this certificate. He has tainted this certificate.”
Then, in front of everyone, he directly tore off this three-good student certificate.
And the persecuted girl Jiang Xinyan stood up proudly and applauded. It seems that for this scene, she knew it would happen.
Immediately after the remaining eight three-good students, the other three also tore off the three-good student certificates in their hands.
This is really heartbreaking!
The audience was stunned for an instant.
Wang Xin was also completely stunned, as if the blood in his whole body rushed directly to the brain.
…………………………
Note: I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still wrote it until four o’clock in the morning! He slapped myself, really!
When I wrote a paragraph, I couldn’t help but recall the years of my rebellious personality in high school, and my mind suddenly recalled three words: idiot!
If you have a monthly pass, please give me a few!
