Chapter 381 HTC
Chapter 381 HTC
Opposite Kim Myung-shin, Moon Chae-won seemed to be muttering to herself while performing a "ritual", but in fact, she was also not at peace in her heart. It could even be said that compared to Kim Myung-shin who came to her for help, she, a famous shaman master in the Republic of Korea, was more worried about An Rusong's safety.
Although Jin Mingxin seems to be a smart woman, she is actually very dull. Moreover, because of her family background, her social contacts are very limited. Therefore, she can only learn about certain information through the news.
But Moon Caiyuan is different. Although "Master Moon" has no official identity or background, her social contacts are very wide. Among her clients and friends, there are both business celebrities and political dignitaries. Therefore, her sources of information are much more extensive.
Wen Caiyuan knew earlier that An Rusong was attacked in his newly purchased villa last night. She called An Rusong at that time and asked him about the details. In the following night, several "high-end customers" contacted her one after another, wanting to get some advice from her.
The questions raised by these people were varied. Some asked whether the attack on An Rusong would have an impact on the current political situation, and others asked whether the attack would cause damage to the current economic environment, which is already bad enough.
To be honest, if you are not in the situation, sometimes it is really hard for people to imagine how many superstitious people there are in this world, and how deep and ridiculous their obsession with superstition is.
"Master, you said at the beginning that although President An is not compatible with my destiny and cannot provide crucial assistance to my success, he is still my benefactor," Jin Mingxin asked in an annoyed tone, with his hands folded on his crossed legs, "But now he has fallen into this fatal trouble, and it is hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a disaster. I want to know whether he can successfully avoid this disaster and turn it into a blessing."
She paused here, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face, and then asked, "Also, if he can't escape this disaster, will it affect me?"
Just by listening to this question, it can be seen that although she cares about An Rushong's safety, compared to An Rushong's safety, she obviously cares more about herself.
Behind the long table, Wen Caiyuan's eyes flashed with anger, but she quickly concealed it. Although this girl is not a scheming person, she often deals with outsiders. In the process of dealing with all kinds of people, she has long mastered the skills of speaking differently to different people.
Therefore, even though she was a little angry at the moment, the expression on her face remained calm.
"Miss Jin, you should believe in your own fortune," Wen Caiyuan said in a leisurely tone, looking at her levelly, "With the blessing of the two noble people, your fortune has been reversed. Those so-called disasters will not affect you."
After a pause, she added, "As for your benefactor, since he is a benefactor, he will naturally be blessed by auspicious stars. There may be some storms and disasters in his future, but it will only be a close call. Miss Jin can rest assured about this."
Hearing Master Wen say this, Jin Mingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to caring about An Rusong, she really cares more about herself, but then again, if she can have the best of both worlds, she certainly hopes that An Rusong can turn the danger into safety, after all, she still counts on this man to provide her with financial support.
"I feel relieved now," Jin Mingxin said after letting out a breath, patting his swollen chest with his hand, "Thank you Master Xianzheng for your guidance."
Wen Caiyuan stopped answering. She closed her eyes slightly and lowered her head. Wen Qihe, who had been guarding the door, came over quietly, stood behind Jin Mingxin, and whispered, "Miss Jin, the master is going to rest. Please follow me."
Jin Mingxin hurriedly stood up and respectfully bowed ninety degrees to Wen Caiyuan, then followed Wen Qihe out.
Wen Caiyuan opened her eyes again only after Kim Myung-shin's figure disappeared outside the door. She reached out and took a glass of water on the table, brought it to her lips and drank it all. Then she reached into her fluffy and wide skirt, felt around, and took out a mobile phone.
Turning on the screen of her mobile phone, Wen Caiyuan entered a phone number that she was very familiar with. After hesitating for a few seconds, she gently pressed the dial button.
In the living room on the first floor of Inwangsan Villa, An Rusong, who was sitting on the sofa, ended the call with Wen Caiyuan. He casually placed the phone on the coffee table in front of him, and then looked at the square small box that had been placed on the coffee table before.
It was a hard cardboard box. From the pattern on the box, we could tell that the box contained a mobile phone, a phone that has not yet been officially launched on the market - HTC G1, the world's first smartphone using the Android system.
HTC G1 is a brand new smart phone launched by Google, HTC and T-Mobile. At present, HTC is still working hard to produce and prepare the products. If nothing goes wrong, it will be officially launched in the market in half a year. At the beginning, with the help of DFJ, NGN Company joined the alliance led by Google to promote the Android system as a content provider. In the past period of time, the core project team of NGN Company, mainly composed of old programmers, has been actively solving the compatibility problem between NGN software and Android system, and at the same time, it has also tried to add some new functions to the Android-side NGN software.
Ever since Google decided to open source the Android system and cooperated with T-Mobile and HTC to launch a new smartphone that supports the Android system, it can be said that the global IT industry is preparing for the arrival of a carnival.
In just a few months, Google received more than ninety application applications, which means that more than ninety software programs hope to be included in the Android app store as soon as possible. At the same time, various new applications and function patent applications based on the Android system have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
As an emerging giant in the field of instant messaging software, the NGN company led by An Rushong is naturally not willing to lag behind. After the second round of technical personnel expansion, NGN company already has four project teams. In the past period of time, except for one project team responsible for the normal operation and maintenance of NGN software, the remaining three project teams are engaged in new functions and application development based on the Android system.
Currently, NGN is preparing to launch three new features after the first major update of the HTC G1 mobile phone after its launch:
The first is to address the problem of difficulty in browsing information caused by the small mobile phone screen. After the first update on the mobile phone, NGN software will launch the so-called "two-finger zoom" function, which means using the index finger and thumb to swipe the mobile phone screen to temporarily enlarge the software interface.
This function is the most basic function in later smartphones and tablets, and is supported by most software. But nowadays, let alone Android phones that have not yet been launched, even the software installed on Apple phones does not have such a function.
Therefore, in this world, the function that NGN software is preparing to update is an absolute first, so the legal department of NGN company has submitted a patent application for this function.
The second function is also a first, and the legal department of NGN has also submitted a patent application. This function is a supplement and optimization of the "Photo Wall" application. An Rusong named it "Photosynthesis". It is actually a small program. Its general function is to work with the camera on the mobile phone to automatically generate a 360-degree panoramic view.
It can be foreseen that this function will definitely be a new invention with great appeal to those hikers, especially those who like taking photos.
As for the third new thing, it is a small game based on mobile phones. Its name is "Temple Run". It is a small mobile game with simple operation but it tests skills and reaction speed. In the world of An Rushong's previous life, this game was very popular for a while.
An Rushong plans to integrate this game into the NGN software, and in the future, based on these small games, he can launch a game platform exclusively for the NGN software itself.
In general, as an IT company that started out as an instant messaging software company, NGN has been very involved in the development of the Android system over the past period of time. The Android system launched by Google has indeed provided a brand new platform for the development of companies like NGN, but by the same token, the participation of companies like NGN has also greatly helped the promotion of the Android system.
As the Android system is still in the early stages of promotion, the competition it faces in the international market is very brutal. Therefore, Google is not so arrogant at present and is still very enthusiastic towards partners like NGN.
The mobile phone in front of An Rushong was specially mailed to him by Google. It was both a sample for him to try out and a small gift.
Today, An Rushong is caught up in the storm brought about by the drug trafficking scandal of the US military stationed in South Korea. For safety reasons and to avoid reporters, he cannot even go out and can only hide in the villa. This small gift delivered to his door is more or less a surprise.
He picked up the box and tore open the outermost plastic seal. An Rushong was just about to crumple up the plastic film and throw it into the trash can next to him when he heard the cell phone that he had just placed on the coffee table ring.
Holding the mobile phone box in his hand, An Rushong leaned over to look at the phone screen on the table. To his surprise, the call was from Mike.
