Early the next morning, Lin Hexia woke up earlier than Zhao Yi. She was busy in the kitchen by herself because this year was a small year and all the domestic helpers were on holiday.
According to custom, every household has to clean at home on this day. Originally, these servants, as working people, did not need to take a day off. Zhao Yi felt that there was not much going on here anyway, so he gave them a day off.
There are not many busy things at home, and hygiene is usually done very well. He and Lin Hexia only need to tidy up the place where they live.
When he got up and saw Lin Hexia busy in the kitchen, he simply went to his room and tidied up his things. In relatively private places like their rooms and studios, maids were generally not allowed to help.
Zhou Jinyu used to do the work of cleaning up these places, and he would help when he had time. Now he and Lin Hexia are the only ones left at home, so they need to share these household chores.
By the time he had almost tidied up the room, he returned to the dining room. Lin Hexia had already prepared breakfast. Lin Hexia usually only needed eggs and milk for breakfast. This was her habit in Hong Kong.
Such a simple breakfast cannot provide enough energy for Zhao Yi, so according to his special needs, Lin Hexia specially baked cakes for him, which is why he was busy for so long.
Zhao Yi took the pancakes made by Lin Hexia and they felt very fresh. He didn't have many opportunities to eat pancakes. Lao Li rarely made these things because he was from the south and didn't usually eat them.
Apparently, Lin Hexia, who is originally from Shaanxi, learned very good pancake techniques at home. He originally thought that the pancakes should be sticky or hard, but they turned out to be soft and delicious, especially suitable for the taste of a southerner like him.
Just like southerners eating steamed buns, they are not used to the too strong steamed buns in the north. They must be soft and elastic. Apparently Lin Hexia has grasped his taste and he likes to eat them very much.
Lin Hexia's eyes turned into crescent moons when she saw how much he loved to eat. She looked at him eating desperately, but she stopped eating and just sat by and watched.
"You eat too, don't just look at me." Zhao said while eating.
"It's not my first time eating it, and I'm not greedy for this bite. How was my cooking?" Lin Hexia asked.
"It's quite delicious, but if you want to eat it in the future, you won't have the chance." Zhao Yi said.
"Why is there less? I can make it for you every day." Lin Hexia asked strangely.
"No matter how delicious it is, I can't bear to have you cook it every day. Look at you, you got up so early today and went to bed late yesterday. Just cook it once in a while. You can just let Lao Li do it in normal times. I can't bear to have you work so hard." ." Zhao Yi said.
Zhao Yi found that if two people are together for a long time, if they want to be harmonious, sometimes they really need to say sweet words, so now he pays more attention to this aspect.
Sure enough, when Lin Hexia heard what he said, the smile on her face became even bigger, although she also knew that she couldn't cook it every day, otherwise the position of chef Lao Li would be very embarrassing.
However, Lin Hexia still liked what he said. Although she did love Zhao Yi, as a woman, it was still hard to help herself when hearing such sweet words of love.
Zhao Yi's love words were actually within the acceptable range. If they were too sweet or even unrealistic, they would appear too fake. As a person born in the 1960s, Lin Hexia didn't like love words that were too boring.
After finishing the sweet breakfast, Lin Hexia said, "When will we go to my parents' place?"
According to Zhao Yi's custom, after a girl gets married, she needs to go back to her parents' home to give them holiday gifts at the end of the year. Generally, it will not exceed the first year of the new year. Zhao Yi is quite busy during this period, so Lin Hexia did not mention this matter.
Although Lin Hexia and he were not married, they were already married. In this era, if they both lived together and had the conjugal ceremony, they were already considered his.
So according to the rules, Zhao Yi really needed to wish Lin Hexia's parents good luck, so he didn't refuse and said directly: "This is my fault. It should have been over long ago. It's just that there were many things at the end of the year, so I neglected it."
Now that the two of them had agreed, Zhao Yi planned to choose gifts with Lin Hexia, but before he could say anything, Lin Hexia had already taken out the gifts.
Gifts like this to pay homage to one's mother-in-law generally do not need to be given to other relatives in the natal family, but only need to be prepared for her parents, so they are relatively simple. At most, they can be prepared for her biological brothers.
The gift Lin Hexia prepared was relatively simple. It was a high-quality colored gemstone necklace for her mother. Although it was an artificial gemstone, it was very exquisite and still expensive.
Nowadays, it is increasingly difficult to see natural gemstones on the market, because it is no longer very profitable to mine natural gemstones, and many gem dealers have left this industry.
Moreover, it is simply too difficult to get the best quality gemstones from nature, which are almost unique. However, artificial gemstones do not have this problem, and the cost is not much different from ordinary gemstones.
In the first year that Beauty Jewelry entered the world, it occupied almost half of the jewelry industry. After another year of hard work, their market share has expanded to 75%.
Jewelers that can survive in the fiercely competitive jewelry industry are basically time-honored brands that have a large number of regular customers. Only by relying on the brand can they obtain relatively suitable profits.
But even so, their operating income is incomparable to before, and their business has basically shrunk to only the high-end jewelry field, and has basically given up on the mid- to low-end field.
Lin Hexia knew that the gems in Liren Jewelry were artificial gemstones, but she didn't care. She bought the necklace from Liren Jewelry Company for a price of 100,000 yuan.
Although the gems are artificial, the craftsmanship of this necklace is very high and the artistry is very strong. Wearing it around a person's neck can immediately enhance a person's temperament.
What she prepared for her father was a watch, which was manufactured by Tiangong Precision Instrument Company. It is the most accurate mechanical watch in the world and is waterproof, anti-magnetic and explosion-proof.
Tiangong Precision Instrument Company actually does not launch many personal consumption businesses, and their watch business was only launched in the past two years, with the purpose of competing with the Western watch industry.
Although I don’t know if the Swedish watch industry is purely handmade, anyway, Tiangong Precision Instrument Company will definitely not use artificial hands to make these things, because in their opinion, it is not necessary.
For general watch parts and assembly business, their existing mechanical equipment can produce them very well, and the quality is no worse than the so-called hand-made ones.
But in the high-end field, some of the existing equipment is not enough, because they want to create the world's most advanced mechanical watches as their top watch brand.
Therefore, they spent a lot of effort to develop precision instruments that specialize in the production of high-end watches. The watches produced are the most complex, and of course, the timekeeping is also the most accurate.
According to what they said, if the mechanical power is maintained continuously, the time error of their high-end mechanical watches will not exceed 1 second within a year.
This level of accuracy, not to mention mechanical watches, even electronic watches, cannot be said to be able to achieve this level. This alone will instantly defeat the so-called manual mechanical watches in the world.
Their high-end watches obviously have more than that. They also pay special attention to the loss of mechanical energy. Through high-precision parts and good design, they can be used for more than a month after being wound up once.
There are many other functions, but not all watches have them, such as the ability to read the calendar, the direction of the magnetic field, etc. However, different brands have different positionings.
Women's watches are generally not particularly complicated. In addition to excellent hardware, they also pay more attention to design and appearance, so these extra things are generally not added.
Men's watches, for example, are divided into several brands, including business-style and youth-style, to meet the positioning of different people, so that more products can be sold.
As for design, to be honest, Tiangong Precision Instrument Co., Ltd. does not have such talent. They are all a bunch of science and engineering men, and it is impossible to design clocks that are too artistic.
Therefore, this aspect of work is in cooperation with Hualong Clothing Company. Hualong Clothing Company is responsible for the appearance design of the clock, while Tiangong Precision Instrument Company is responsible for implementation and production.
As for sales, this is left to Shangtong Trading Company. Since most of them are mid-to-high-end brands, even luxury brands, Shangtong Trading Company helped them establish a large number of specialty stores.
The name of Tiangong Precision Instrument Company is no longer as unknown as before. Their precision instruments are relatively popular around the world and they are now recognized as the most advanced precision instrument company in the world.
Previously, they only focused more on their sensor field, because their advantages in this field are too obvious and they are almost in a monopoly position. Especially in the field of high-end sensors, they are a monopoly, with a market share of 100%.
In fact, their position in the field of instrumentation is still very powerful, and their market share in the field of high-end instruments has reached 60%. Although domestic contributions account for the majority, foreign countries still have strong competitiveness.
It's not that foreign companies are very competitive with them, but that their good stuff is prohibited from being exported, and they can only compete with others with third-rate stuff, which naturally leads to a stalemate.
Just like their watch business, after its launch, many consumers are still willing to pay, but not many users are willing to pay at first, because their watch business cannot yet be trusted by consumers.
But these have nothing to do with it. They directly gave their high-end watches to all senior executives of their brother companies, especially those at the president level, in order to let them help with advertising.
Therefore, Tiangong Precision Instrument Company's watches are displayed intentionally or unintentionally in public places such as CEO conferences or news interviews. This is the most high-end advertisement.
If other watches are used by celebrities or rich people, can they still surpass the CEOs of these giant companies in terms of power and wealth? Most people will not think that this is the case.
In addition, Tiangong Precision Instrument Company has also invited many well-known celebrities around the world to endorse their various watch brands, letting global consumers know that there is such a company that also produces high-end watches.
Generally, low-end watches are below 500 yuan, 500 to 2,000 yuan are considered mid-range brands, and those above 2,000 yuan are high-end brands, and the more expensive ones are luxury brands.
Lin Hexia herself is naturally not short of money, and Zhao Yi is not short of money either. Naturally, she will not give an ordinary watch. It will only be embarrassing. Both Lin Hexia and Zhao Yi will lose face.
So what she prepared for her father was a luxury brand produced by Tiangong Precision Instrument Company. It not only had the function of a clock, but also used a lot of gems. Anyway, rich people like this style.
People like Zhao Yi are not used to the lifestyle of the rich. He doesn't even wear a watch when he goes out. He feels very uncomfortable wearing it on his hand. There are many ways to tell time anyway, so there is no need to get a watch.
However, other rich people still care about these things. It seems that wearing a watch makes one feel that his or her class has improved. The brand and price of a watch have been linked to one's status.
Although Zhao Yi doesn't care much about these, his companies do care about these markets. Most of the brands of Tiangong Precision Instrument Company are mid-to-high-end brands with prices above 500 yuan.
Last year, the watch business alone brought them 10 billion yuan in operating income. It may not seem like much, but it is actually very good. Moreover, it is still grabbing the market in other people's strong areas, and its performance is worthy of recognition.
Other domestic watch companies are all low-end brands. With the country's excellent mechanical processing capabilities, they already occupy an absolute market share in the field of low-end brands.
However, before Tiangong Precision Instrument Company got involved in this business, mid-range brands were basically occupied by Japanese companies, and high-end brands were basically occupied by Swiss companies.
Tiangong Precision Instrument Company has filled the vacancy in my country's mid-to-high-end brand field, and there are still many consumers buying into it, which is already very impressive.
If calculated based on the average price of 1,000 yuan, the number of mid-to-high-end brand watches sold by Tiangong Precision Instrument Company last year reached 10 million, which is already a lot.
This time she did not prepare gifts for her elder brother and younger brother. Her brother's whole family is working in office and has not yet gone home to celebrate the New Year. However, her brother does not plan to go home to celebrate the New Year this year and will stay alone in Southeast Asia.
The gifts prepared for her grandparents were definitely not these luxuries, but some nourishing dietary products. They were all good things, many of which were not available on the market.
When we went to Lin Hexia's house, although her father didn't show off his face, he didn't have a good face either. On the contrary, her mother Qin Su was more enthusiastic, which kept him from being restless.
During lunch, her grandparents also came over to eat together. They usually eat separately. This time, maybe because Zhao Yi came over, they came over to have lunch together.
He originally thought that the old man would ask a lot of questions, but it turned out that he didn't. The whole lunch was quite peaceful. After lunch, the old man took his wife and ran away, leaving him unable to react.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the two said goodbye and left. Sitting in the car, Zhao Yi asked: "Your grandpa won't come here just to see me, right?"
"You're really right!" Lin Hexia said as he fastened his seat belt.
"What's so good about me? It makes me so nervous. Not to mention, your grandfather really has an awe-inspiring temperament. He is indeed an old revolutionary!" Zhao Yi said.
"Actually, my dad is also afraid of my grandpa. There are brothers who are not afraid of him. On the contrary, we grandchildren are not very afraid of our grandparents. When I was a child, my grandpa loved me.
But after I went to college, my grandfather became more strict with me, saying that I had grown up and could no longer be as naughty as I was when I was a child. Lin Hexia said.
"Were you naughty when you were a child? I think you have always been a lady, you can't tell at all!" Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"I was really naughty when I was a child. I especially liked to tease my elder brother and bully my younger brother. But as I got older, my personality gradually became more stable, which is what you see." Lin Hexia said.
Children at that time were a lot more lawless, and with their grandfathers protecting them, they did have the ability to be arrogant, but people have to grow up, and most of them would laugh it off when they recall their childhood.
Although the performance at that time seems so childish now, it is still a good memory. Maybe as an adult, it will be difficult to achieve the freedom of that time.
When Zhao was a child, although he didn't bully people much and had no habit of teasing others, he was born in a rural area, where traveling to the mountains and hunting was commonplace, and he was born by a lake, where fishing in the lake was common.
After he grew up, he realized how much his behavior made his parents worried. If he accidentally went into the water, he would not be able to get out. Therefore, every time he went into the water when he was a child, his mother would beat him very hard, not at all. I can't feel hatred, but I feel warmth.
Especially after his mother beat him, not long after, she brought out the best food in the house and persuaded him to eat it. She could always feel warmth and care from it, and she forgot about the previous beating. .
Later, when he grew up and became a director, he tried his best to follow his mother's wishes. Although when he got older, his parents kept urging him to get married and his mother had strong objections to his attitude, he could only coax him.
"Didn't you feel like this when you were a child?" Lin Hexia asked.
"Probably, everyone has something like this to some extent when they grow up." Zhao Yi said with a smile.
In this life, the body's affairs are more complicated. It is still unclear who the parents of this body are and where they are, otherwise he will definitely look for them. Even if he doesn't look for them, the country will look for them.
As a result, there is no news so far, and there will probably be no news in the future. Even the omnipotent Zhou Ling is vague about this, and it seems that this matter will always be a mystery.
After returning home, Lin Hexia urged Zhao Yi to see how the game test went. She couldn't wait to play, so he could only do as he pleased.
Come to the studio and check the relevant data. The intermediate artificial intelligence has conducted 9x10^500 simulation tests on the game. The simulation progress has reached 95%. After waiting for an hour or two, all simulation tests were completed.
If you use an ordinary supercomputer, it is not easy to complete such a large workload. Each time you complete a round of testing, it is a factorial of 108. After that, you will adjust the data and start the next round of testing.
In this way, the test data will be astronomical, and only a super photon computer can complete such a heavy test work in a short period of time.
Since there was nothing to do when they got home, the two simply returned to the sofa in the living room and asked Xiaoling to connect the game screen to the TV screen in the living room. Sitting on the sofa and watching the game was obviously much better than sitting on a chair.
Two hours passed in a flash, and Xiaoling informed him that the game test was completed, the relevant data had been adjusted in place, and the entire development process of the game had been completed, reaching the level of official release.
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Yi patted Lin Hexia on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, the game is over, let's go play."
When Lin Hexia heard what he said, he quickly stood up and came to the studio. However, his studio only had one work computer and they couldn't sit and play together.
Lin Hexia didn't care that her studio was right next to her, but they wanted to sit and play together anyway, so Zhao Yiyi moved her computer over from the side to deal with it temporarily.
However, during the computer installation process, Zhao Yi used smart glasses to ask Polaris Company to send six of the latest high-end gaming computers, preparing to install three of them in his and Lin Hexia's studios.
Although the computers that Lin Hexia and I are currently using are still powerful in configuration, they are still a little out of date compared to the latest ones. We might as well use brand new ones.
As for the rest, it was prepared for Zhou Jinyu. After she came back, she saw him and Lin Hexia playing games, and she wanted to play even if Baoqi didn't do it. When the time came, she would be the one who had to deal with it, so she might as well just do it in one step and think carefully.
After installing the computer, Lin Hexia and Zhao Yi sat opposite each other. After a while, Xiaoling installed the client on their computers and entered the test account and password.
The format of the battle is still the same as in the previous life, with single ranking, double ranking and flexible ranking. In addition to ranking, it is group ranking. He has not made any major changes.
As for other ways to play, he didn't have any ideas for the time being. Anyway, he didn't think there was anything particularly interesting about these ways of playing, so he simply stopped doing them.
However, some people want to play, but do not want to engage in fierce confrontations with other players. He plans to improve the intelligence of the human and machine, so that playing against the human and the machine is not an easy task, but very challenging.
There is a big difference between the human machine and the previous life. It is no longer simple and difficult, but the same as the ranked gears, divided into black iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, master, grandmaster and King.
This means that the level of intelligence of these man-machine is basically in line with these ranks. In addition, the operation errors of man-machine are relatively few. When man-machine battles, players of the same rank may not necessarily be able to outplay the robot.
Of course, not all human-machine ranks have no mistakes at all. Human-machine machines in each rank have a certain error rate, and the purpose is to give players opportunities.
The higher the rank, the lower the human-machine error rate, and the stronger the sense of rhythm. Since there is not much player data yet, only preliminary settings have been made.
When there is more and more player data in the later stage, we will refer to the player data to make modifications, and try to allow players to experience human-machine experience at a level similar to their own, so that they will have a more sense of participation.
If you can't win against a human versus a machine, the frustration will be particularly strong, which will reduce the player's enthusiasm for playing the game. Only by winning and losing can the fun be increased. In a one-sided situation, whether it is a guaranteed win or a guaranteed loss, it is not acceptable. Pick. (End of chapter)
