Liu Yingjian'S "Revolution"

In 2010, Hanwang Technology Co., Ltd. broke out beyond many people's expectations: at the beginning of the year, as the largest e-reader supplier in China, Hanwang was invited to participate in the international top consumer electronics exhibition (CES) in Las Vegas, the United States, and became Stars at the exhibition ; On March 3, Hanwang Technology was listed on the small and medium-sized board of Shenzhen Stock Exchange. On the first day of listing, its share price soared by 96%; Nowadays, the advertisements of Hanwang e-book, which are endorsed by movie star Xu Qing, range from the prime time programs of CCTV to the streets of small counties in the west. Liu Yingjian, Chairman of Hanwang, also became IT industry The "big shot" of.

On April 13, Liu Yingjian received an exclusive interview with a reporter from Global People magazine in the simple conference room of Beijing Zhongguancun Hanwang Building. "Now is just the beginning. In the future, e-books will definitely bring Han Wang into the 'World Top 500'! We have come to the front in the book and newspaper revolution, and I believe that this first mover advantage is not temporary." Liu Yingjian made no secret of his "ambition".

Known as "Handwriting King" in the industry

Did all this come too soon? In fact, Liu Yingjian has prepared for more than 30 years.

In 1978, when the college entrance examination was resumed, Liu Yingjian, 25, caught the last bus of the age limit for the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Computer Department of the Communication Engineering College of the Nanjing People's Liberation Army. "When I was in college, I studied Chinese character coding input. At that time, many people were studying this project. It seemed that the threshold was not high, but it was not easy to operate. From junior year to graduation, I did not make breakthrough progress." Liu Yingjian said.

After graduation, Liu Yingjian was assigned to the First General Station of the General Staff Communication Department. Soon, he made a report to his superior, hoping to use his expertise to do research on "online handwritten Chinese character recognition device". The 20000 yuan fund and two computers given by the army were his original research assets. Due to the huge data calculation involved, the army even dispatched a platoon of soldiers to help him collect, classify and test the recognition rate of Chinese characters. Under such conditions, in 1985, Liu Yingjian finally succeeded in developing the first "handwriting board" in China, realizing the handwritten input of Chinese characters, and applied for a national invention patent in 1986.

1993 was a turning point in Liu Yingjian's life. With the support of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Liu Yingjian took the lead in establishing Beijing Zhongzi Hanwang Company, which is the predecessor of Hanwang Technology, meaning "the king of Chinese character input". In 1998, Hanwang Science and Technology Co., Ltd. was officially established - this year, Liu Yingjian was 45 years old. Relying on its unique recognition technology, Hanwang soon became the real "king of Chinese character input". Liu Yingjian himself is known as the "handwriting king" in the industry. But he has always kept a low profile. Before 2007, he rarely appeared in the public, let alone was a dazzling "entrepreneurial hero" in the spotlight. However, Liu Yingjian has recently started to use electronic books frequently High profile appearance 。

Let the publishing house open "exclusive stores"

When talking about e-paper books, Liu Yingjian could not help but be excited. "E-paper books are a revolution - eventually leading to paperless changes in books and newspapers. After video, images and sounds, only words are the last fortress that has not been captured by digitalization."

Picking up the thin e-paper book as a notebook on the conference table, Liu Yingjian demonstrated to the reporter that "e-paper book has too strong advantages. Its biggest advantage is that it is convenient and can download many books. To find a book, you had to go to the library. If the library didn't have one, you had to go to the bookstore. But now you can find it with it, and you can read it at any time." Liu Yingjian firmly believes that, The scene of digital cameras replacing traditional film cameras will be repeated in the book market within 10 years. "Ten years later, paper books will become rare".

In 2009, Han Wang once put out an advertisement: "The reader is ecstatic, the printer jumps off the building". Liu Yingjian laughed that at that time, he just wanted to "talk without surprise and never stop", but he believed that e-paper books would be welcomed by all authors and readers. "Some books have only printed 5000 copies. In fact, more than 5000 people want to read them. The bottleneck lies in the difficulty of communication and space restrictions. For readers, the books they want to read are also constantly changing. If the bookshelves cannot be put down, they have to deal with them. Every time I deal with books, I am reluctant to part with them. With electronic books, this problem will not exist."

Liu Yingjian is well aware that if the e-paper book is well developed, the King of Han will promote The whole publishing industry is marching towards a new era, but if it does not do well, it may also be "besieged". "Our plan is to turn the e-paper book into a 'e-book mall' and let all publishers open 'franchised stores' on it.".

In his mind, the future e-paper book has color pictures, larger size, cheaper price, soft screen, which can not be broken, and can also be folded - just like a real book, but with endless content.
