Number of people in the live broadcast room:

15.7 million.

There are already 15.7 million netizens waiting for the party to start, and this number is still rising.

"It's coming, it's coming and there's a picture."

"Qilin is quite punctual."

“There are so many barrages that I can’t see them anymore.”

"You can set the barrage to be at the top."

"Qilin is awesome, the most powerful New Year's Eve party in history, most of the celebrities in Hong Kong are here."

"Do they dare not to come? If they don't come, will they still want to work in China? If it weren't for Qilin Music, how much money would they be able to make now?"

"You don't understand the market, so you think Hong Kong celebrities earn more. You don't know how low TVB's wages are. Even Qilin's coders have higher wages than them."

"Don't being a star depend on sharing? It doesn't matter if the salary is low, right?"

"Haha, Shao Laoliu is famous for being picky."

"I didn't expect that the host would be Phoenix Legend."

"Isn't it tiring to work with men and women together?"

...

[I won’t write much about the party process.]

The next day...

Kirin's New Year's Eve party has a viewership rating of 57 million and has been featured in major media. This rating far exceeds that of Star TV's New Year's Eve party.

This also caused the heads of major TV stations to be called to their offices early in the morning by their leaders to criticize them.

"We also want to hold the party well, but the cost is only a tiny bit and we can't even afford a celebrity. What else do you want us to do?"

In this era, TV stations invest very little in programming, which is why they are unable to produce programs.

In addition to celebrities from Hong Kong, Kirin also has many contracted and trained stars, which are simply not comparable to those of TV stations.

It’s not that we don’t have enough resources, it’s that the place is too rich.

Inside the Kirin Manor Villa.

There were four people lying on the eight-meter-long bed. Last night Cao Mang enjoyed the blessing of all the people again. He called it the memory of 2004.

After Cao Mang got up, he ordered the Filipino maid downstairs to make breakfast because there were so many people outside on New Year's Day.

Cao Mang's family of four stayed at home and watched TV.

Lighthouse Country January 1, 2005.

Microsoft and Intel held a conference called 2005 New Era.

The scale of this joint press conference was very large, and news media from all over Europe and the United States came to participate.

In addition, mobile phone manufacturers from all over Europe are here, including manufacturers from Bangzi and Neon countries.

Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, Siemens, Alcatel, Sony, Kyocera, Samsung, LG...

Even Bird, TCL, Skyworth, and Southern Hi-Tech were invited.

The reporters' flashbulbs were flashing, and they were taking photos frantically as the guests signed autographs.

The time came to 9:50 in a blink of an eye, ten minutes before the start of the press conference, and the guests had basically entered the venue.

Bill Gates adjusts his suit in the audience.

The lights dim.

Bill Gates and Craig Barrett walked onto the stage together, and there were two sofas and a small round table on the stage.

“Everyone is welcome to Microsoft.”

"Intel's cross-century conference."

Bill Gates and Craig Barrett each gave opening remarks.

"With the development of the communications industry, the mobile Internet has begun to slowly..." Bill Gates began his speech.

The content mainly focuses on the mobile Internet.

"Perhaps everyone is unfamiliar with the term mobile Internet. The Mate mobile phone, which has recently become popular around the world, uses mobile Internet services.

The emergence of mate mobile phones also proves the convenience of mobile Internet, although..."

Although Bill Gates has completely overturned Mate's achievements.

"Mate mobile phone can log in to the mobile Internet, but it only provides a chat function, which cannot reflect the convenience of the mobile Internet at all.

To this end, Microsoft and Intel have formed a mobile communications alliance to develop products with more powerful functions and convenience for everyone.

Our research laboratory has developed a new product, and I believe this product will bring everyone into a new era." Bill Gates said.

At this time, a staff member pushed a trolley onto the stage.

Bill Gates picked up a mobile phone from the trolley and introduced it: "I believe you have seen the mobile phone in my hand. This is a product developed by the joint research laboratory."

At this time, Craig Barrett stood up and introduced: "This mobile phone looks like a mobile phone, but it is better to say it is a computer.

This mobile phone uses Intel's newly designed Astro Boy chip, and the system uses Microsoft's new generation WP operating system..."

Craig Barrett starts bragging about their Intel hardware and phone specs.

After he finished bragging, it was Bill Gates who came to brag.

"In order to provide customers with more convenient and safer services, the new generation of WP has changed the original open system into a closed system and adopted a new architecture for design. Compared with the older generation of WP system, the performance has been improved.

.." Bill Gates started bragging about the WP system.

To put it simply, the security is better than before. You no longer have to worry about your phone being cracked and information stolen.

The performance is also improved by 232% compared to the old generation WP mobile phone.

Of course, these are not the focus. The focus is the ecosystem of WP mobile. Microsoft has joined hundreds of companies to form the WP Ecosystem Alliance.

WP mobile applications will become more and more abundant and will provide customers with more convenient services, such as WP versions of Amazon and eBay, so that everyone can shop anytime and anywhere.

For example, with the Chinese version of Ctrip, you can book air tickets anytime, anywhere, book hotels anytime, anywhere, etc.

Of course Yahoo and so on are indispensable.

...

After Bill Gates' speech, it was time for reporters to ask questions.

At this time, a Washington Daily reporter got the opportunity to ask questions.

"Mr. Bill Gates, is your product developed in imitation of Kirin Pangu? I found that your product is very similar to Kirin Pangu system, but its performance is far inferior to Pangu smartphones."

The reporter's question plunged the atmosphere into an awkward atmosphere.

However, this kind of thing is common in Europe and the United States. If you don't ask this question and make such trouble, why is it in the news?

"This reporter's question is very good. As early as 2002, Microsoft cooperated with Dopod to launch the first WP mobile phone.

Let’s not talk about WP mobile phones, but Nokia’s Symbian system is earlier than Kirin Kirin Pangu system.

Why do you think we are imitating Qilin instead of Qilin imitating us?" Bill Gates asked with a smile.

When Mr. Qiao in the audience heard this, he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "You shameless thing, didn't you copy ours too?"

If he hadn't been too careless and showed the window system to Bill Gates, but Bill Gates misappropriated it, Microsoft would not be where it is today.

Although Bill Gates retorted the reporter's words, the reporter knew that he could no longer ask this question, so he pointed the finger at Craig Barrett who was standing aside.
