Everyone can see that the "zhi pan" is actually a USB drive. The reason it became "zhi pan" in Huang He's mouth was entirely because Huang He was rich and willful. He bought the patent for USB drives and renamed them "zhi pan."
Of course, this name is only used domestically. Abroad, it's still called a USB drive. After all, USB drives were already developed in '98 and entered the market in 2001. However, several companies were fighting for the patent rights, and it was eventually awarded to China's Langtong Technology.
That's right, USB drives were invented by Chinese people.
When Jiangnan Group was just established, Huang He had already set his sights on USB drive technology. During his first trip to Shenzhen, he found the then Langtong Technology and proposed acquiring it.
This situation arose because the USB ports on the front of the computer case were not directly connected to the motherboard but were connected via wires. The voltage of these USB interfaces was much lower than that of the USB interfaces at the back of the case, which were directly connected to the motherboard.
Insufficient voltage meant that high-capacity USB drives could not function. Only by plugging into the USB interfaces at the back of the computer case, which were directly connected to the motherboard, could the working voltage be met.
The reason the maximum capacity of USB drives was limited to 528MB at the time was also this. If the capacity were any higher, the current of the USB interface would no longer be able to support the operation of the USB drive.
Yet, the "zhi pan" sold by Jiangnan Group now reached a capacity of 32GB. This completely surpassed the understanding of all industry professionals present.
"President Huang, is everything you're saying true?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Of course. I can demonstrate it for you all right now!" Huang He smiled slightly. Then, twelve beautiful hostesses walked up, each carrying a tray. On each tray were "zhi pans."
Each tray also had a label indicating the capacity of the "zhi pan" on it.
The "zhi pans" ranging from 18MB to 528MB were all the same size, about the length of a finger.
From 1GB onwards, the size of the "zhi pan" became about the size of four fingers placed together. However, even the largest 32GB "zhi pan" was this size.
And this size was less than one-fifth of the size of the 528MB USB drives on the market.
Next, Huang He inserted these "zhi pans" into the computer's USB ports. The computer's screen was directly connected to a projection screen, so everyone could clearly see the various data read from the "zhi pans" on the computer. It was exactly as Huang He had said; Jiangnan Group had indeed produced USB drives with a capacity of up to 32GB. Oh, no, they should be called "zhi pans."
"Could this be altered data?" some people murmured in disbelief.
"These twelve models of 'zhi pans' will all be available for sale in a month. You can all get them from Jiangnan Group. You can test for yourselves how much storage space each 'zhi pan' contains. If I dared to falsify this data, wouldn't that be dragging the reputation of Jiangnan Group through the mud?" Huang He said with a laugh, and the crowd erupted in laughter.
Indeed, small or counterfeit companies might resort to such fraudulent tricks, but Jiangnan Group would absolutely not do such a thing. They couldn't afford to lose face. So, did these "zhi pans" truly possess such incredible storage capabilities?
Next, Huang He announced the prices of these "zhi pans." The prices are not listed here specifically, but in any case, they were all at least half the price of USB drives with the same capacity.
For higher capacity "zhi pans," since there were no comparable products on the market, it was unclear whether the prices were high or low. They were unique; apart from Jiangnan Group's "zhi pans," you couldn't buy products from any other company.
"In addition to this, we also offer brand new products like mobile hard drives. The mobile hard drives also exclusively use flash memory particles developed by our Jiangnan Group. The data read speed exceeds that of all currently sold hard drives by more than double. There are a total of five different models: 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB."
"Mobile hard drives can also be used by plugging into a USB interface. However, they require an additional power cable, otherwise, the data inside cannot be read!" Huang He introduced.
"Fortunately, they still require a power cable, otherwise, this would be beyond our comprehension!" Everyone felt a sense of alarm. But since it was still within the scope of comprehension, Jiangnan Group's technology in storage was not just world-class, but world-leading, unique, and unsurpassable by any company. They had truly achieved world-leading technology.
