228: E-paper and blockbuster animations

After completing homework until his hands and feet twitched, Li Jianghe finally completed the notes that the teacher asked to check during this period.

As for you asking me why my feet twitch?

In the winter when there is no heating in the south, it is so twitchy.

Li Jianghe opened the computer with trembling hands.

Dr. M.A., who had disappeared for several days, finally replied.

First, he just published a few papers and articles, um, all in English.

Li Jianghe struggled to read it for a while and found that it was impossible to understand.

I have to continue to ask if there is a simpler way to understand.

Then Dr. Massachusetts sent him a brief introduction.

What are the positive and negative charges sealed in the liquid microparticle capsule and coated on the two-layer substrate? Some difficult to understand words.

In the end, Li Jianghe asked more directly, what is the use of this thing?

"What's the use?" Dr. Massachusetts was silent for a while and sent a message: "It's different from the traditional screen. You can call it electronic paper. It protects your eyes and saves power. The stronger the light, the clearer you can see.

Oh, yes, even if the electronic paper is powered off, it can still display the last refreshed content, but there is no specific application mode now."

"Aren't there any Americans?" Li Jianghe asked.

"No, none of them," Dr. Massachusetts replied, "They all failed commercially."

When electronic paper was first being researched, we really wanted to create an electronic product that was as light and soft as paper, and ideally could also be used for writing.

But the requirements were too high, and in the end, only the current product was invented.

Li Jianghe turned on the second-hand e-paper. The resolution of the first-generation product was naturally not high, but the screen of the mobile phone was not that advanced at this time. In a small frame, the quality of the picture was not good.

He went to the balcony and looked at it in the sun for a while.

It does have a paper feel, although it is relatively inferior paper.

However, this first-generation product did not have a built-in light source. When I took it back to the dormitory, it was not very clear because the light in the environment was dim and the e-paper itself did not emit light.

"Electronic paper", Li Jianghe muttered a few words.

Knowing the exact information, he searched for relevant news online again.

IBM, the giant in information technology, had the idea of ​​developing an e-reader at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, but it was different from the current kindle? What IBM wanted to make was an electronic newspaper reader.

But this encounters another bottleneck? No resources.

Around 2000? There were no electronic media everywhere like now. On the contrary, we basically stopped reading paper newspapers. There were portals at that time, but the average family wanted to know the news? They still chose to subscribe to those more authoritative newspapers.

In this case, the newspaper dealers would not spend any effort to create an electronic version. IBM's idea was thus aborted.

And computers aren’t essential for almost every household? People aren’t so used to reading news online? What’s more, buying an e-reader specifically?

But this idea gave Li Jianghe some inspiration.

E-reader? This idea is very forward-looking.

But the problem is that it seems that the function of this kind of electronic paper is relatively single? And what the current products do is "addition", in other words? Manufacturers are still adding some functions to the products that they don't know whether they are useful.

Instead of considering the so-called "minimalist style"? The so-called "subtractive" products.

For example, Nokia's famous twist phone? It's a small brick-like phone. You can turn the keyboard to the back? But there's no screen on the back.

Moreover, the cost of producing and developing screens such as electronic paper is also quite large.

E-link? The company only received an investment of nearly 40 million U.S. dollars in 2000. The 40 million U.S. dollars in 2000 was quite generous.

He put this piece of second-hand electronic paper in his pocket and went to the Cultural Industry Park while there was no class.

I haven’t been there for more than half a month, and several small buildings in the second phase of the industrial park have almost been completed from the outside.

"Hey, boss, it's been a long time since I've been here." Geng Haiyin opened the door to the office.

"Speak well." Li Jianghe looked at the huge office. Dozens of desks had their own owners, and he felt a little proud.

"Hey, boss, I sent important information such as reports to your mailbox. I guess you didn't read it. There is another copy in this computer. You can take a look first." Geng Haiyin led Li Jianghe to an independent office in the back room.

It was specially reserved for Li Jianghe.

Anyway, due to the previous big news exposure, the industrial park has lowered the rent, and there are great discounts on water and electricity. The basic office costs here are quite low, so the empty offices will be empty.

The playback rate of Yangyang Animation is now close to 2%, which is a very good result.

And Xinghai Travels has finally released its first main volume.

Riding on the popularity of the previous blind box lottery, the ratings exploded.

Because it was only 2001 at this time, One Piece was not as popular as when Original World was first released in 2007, and the animation team had also made a lot of changes, so there was no debate about plagiarism and reference for the time being.

And technically, although it was six years early, because there were so many talents involved in the production this time, and Li Jianghe did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, the picture quality and style looked to be among the best in the country, and could even be said to be the best in the country.

It has been a unique one in recent years.

This time, Geng Haiyin and others learned a lesson and managed the media in advance. In addition, there was really nothing to be ashamed of, so public opinion also praised it.

Although the fans still urge everyone to wait and see if the subsequent series can continue the standard, most people who watch anime do not care so much and directly buy up the protagonist's blind box that follows the first episode.

It was too late to replenish the blind box machines. According to media reports, there were crowded queues and empty blind box machines.

The accompanying picture shows a young man waiting in line for a long time. When it was finally his turn, he found in despair that there was no one left in the blind box machine.

The reporter did a good job of photographing his eyes showing complicated emotions, as if he had taken off his pants and realized he didn't have any paper with him.

The huge sales of the blind boxes also boosted the performance of the milk tea shop.

This month, the milk tea shop's revenue increased by 80% year-on-year, which is a bit scary.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, all important provinces and cities in the south, as well as counties with relatively good economies, have opened branches of Shuguang Milk Tea. Lu Yeming and Qi Hanyuan have already started preparing to cross the Yangtze River and develop northward.

Even the old director in charge of the Cultural Park hates that he was born at the wrong time. If he was born a few years later and caught up with this good thing, he would have to rely on this performance to reach a higher level before retiring.

"Very good." Li Jianghe nodded, "Just tell me what you need."

"There's nothing to ask for, it's just that we, the screenwriters, are just not interested. If someone from the top can come over, then we will really be the top studio in the country," Geng Haiyin said with a smile.

"Are you worried that no one will come if you have money?" Li Jianghe said proudly: "Just ask for the price."

"Thank you, boss." Geng Haiyin was waiting for this sentence.

"By the way," Li Jianghe took out the second-hand electronic paper from his pocket and said, "Go find Zhou Lihui and the others and let them take a look at this thing."

"What is this? MP3? It doesn't look like it." Geng Haiyin raised his glasses.
