Technology: Start by selling mobile phones

Android has about 1.37 million apps, and Apple has even more, about 2 million.

Such a large number of APP applications cannot be completed by one company alone. It can only be realized by the market and the spontaneous development of enterprises.

If you want enterprises to voluntarily develop apps that run on a certain operating system, the important factor is that the operating system has a sufficient number of users.

Allow enterprises to obtain more benefits through the APP of this operating system.

What a coincidence.

If you want the operating system to have a sufficient number of users, you must first have enough APP applications to attract customers to use the operating system and meet customer needs...

Simply put.

With enough users, companies can be attracted to develop apps.

Have enough apps to attract customers.

? ? ?

Good guy.

This has become an infinite matryoshka model. Which comes first, the customers or the APP?

Mo Ran did not continue to dwell on the matter.

Fortunately, the "Nietzsche A8" has a dual-system function, at least customers do not have to choose between "Tudou OS" and "Android system".

This not only gives customers more choices, but also gives the imperfect "Potato OS" a little room to survive.

After learning about the "Nietzsche A8", Mo Ran changed the topic to "providing 'face recognition' technology to Opop and Xiaomi."

Hao Technology has always been in charge of this matter.

"Both Xiaomi and Opop use our 'face recognition' technology on their latest flagship phones - Xiaomi Mi 6 and Opop R11."

"Last month we assisted them in debugging the 'face recognition' function, and they are now entering the production and stocking stage."

"As far as I know, these two flagship models will be launched in January next year, which is half a month later, and then our cooperation will be officially launched."

"Well, good job."

Mo Ran encouraged him.

He is not in a hurry. The 200 million deposit from Xiaomi and Opop has already fallen into his pocket, so he is not afraid of any surprises.

"What about the recruitment situation?"

Mo Ran was finally concerned about the recruitment of technical personnel for the "Mobile Phone Business Department".

With the expansion of Nietzsche's mobile phone business, "Nietzsche A8", "Luban No. 8" and "Nietzsche X1" are fully rolled out, even with the blessing of black technology,

It is obviously impossible for Hao Keji to be a technician alone.

"As for technical staff... we have recruited several fresh graduates and two mobile phone technicians with several years of work experience."

"What about the senior technicians?"

"Forehead……"

"Well... I haven't found the right one yet."

Hao Keji suddenly hesitated a little, his eyes evasive, completely losing his sharpness just now.

Mo Ran looked in his eyes, and suddenly his face froze, and he thought of something.

This was an oversight on his part.

Because Nietzsche's company did not have a human resources department, and he himself did not know much about mobile phone technology, the recruitment of mobile phone technicians was naturally left to Hao Technology.

Ordinary technicians are fine, but if I propose to recruit several senior technicians who are well-known in the mobile phone industry, this will obviously conflict with Hao Technology.

Hao Keji is now the nominal head of the "Mobile Phone Business Department", but once he recruits people with stronger capabilities and better technology, it can directly threaten his current position.

so……

Is Hao Keji unwilling to recruit people because he is afraid of being replaced by a new person?

After a while.

Mo Ran's eyes turned cold:

"Did you not find the right one, or do you not want to find one?"

Hao Keji suddenly trembled with fright and said hurriedly:

"Mr. Mo, it's not that I don't want to look for it, I really can't find it!"

"Our company is located in Chengdu, and there are not as many high-level talents as there are in coastal cities."

"Furthermore, although we at Nietzsche say we have a firm foothold in the mobile phone industry, we are still not attractive enough compared to other first-tier manufacturers. It is also difficult to attract them to come over."

After listening to this, Mo Ran's eyes finally softened a little.

What Hao Keji said is also true.

Nietzsche's real reputation started with "Lu Ban No. 8", and it has only been a little more than half a year since then. Compared with large companies such as Xiaomi and Huawei, his reputation is not at the same level.

Just say it simply.

Between a Huawei offer and a Nietzsche offer, which one would you choose?

Mo Ran never thought anyone would choose Nietzsche, nor did he think Nietzsche was very attractive compared to other companies in the industry.

The only possibility is that Nietzsche forcibly poached people with double, triple, or even five times the salary.

After a moment, he said slowly:

"Okay, I understand the situation."

"You don't need to worry about the recruitment for now. I will arrange for Wang Fugui to be in charge."

Hao Keke's face was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of unspeakable bitterness.

The report work for the previous half hour was all joyful, but I didn't expect that I was reprimanded for the last thing.

No.

Instead of reprimanding, even the right to recruit was taken away!

"Excessive!"

"If you can't recruit someone, I have nothing to do with it. If you have any trouble, just take it out on me! Damn it!"

Hao Jiji was full of complaints, but just when he was filled with resentment and didn't know how to vent his resentment, Mo Ran's voice suddenly continued.

"Do you have any opinions?"

Hao Keke was suddenly startled and said quickly:

"No, no! Just follow Mr. Mo's arrangements."

"Well, if you don't have anything else to do, just go out and get busy."

Hao Jiji gritted his teeth and sighed secretly.

"Throw it away after use. Do you really think you are garbage?"

But even though he was extremely unhappy, he opened the office door and said goodbye.

As soon as I opened the door, my colleague Xiao Zhang came over.

"Master Hao, your Nietzsche A8 sold well this time. Mr. Mo should be very satisfied with you, right?"

"I'm afraid you will get a promotion and a salary increase this time!"

Hao Keke glanced at Xiao Zhang coldly, snorted and said nothing.

When he returned to the technical department office, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart.

"Damn, you know how to be mean to me!"

"This is a broken company, and the employees and management don't want to stay here any longer!"

…

Hao Technology’s complaints will not affect the operation of Nietzsche’s company.

time flies.

A few days later, "Yellow River Storage" and NetEase Yanxuan successfully signed a production agreement for "TF memory cards".

The first batch of orders is for 500,000 pieces. The ex-factory price is 34 yuan for 32GB and 44 yuan for 64GB. The net profit margin reaches 10%, which can make about 2 million yuan.

Li Zhi is already very satisfied.

And immediately after,

As 2016 comes to an end, Mo Ran also ushered in a brand new 2017.

On New Year's Day of 2017, Xiaomi took the lead in launching the Xiaomi Mi 6 flagship model.

Compared with a small company like Nietzsche, Xiaomi's flagship mobile phone naturally attracts the attention of the entire Internet.

When Rebus introduced Xiaomi Mi 6 with tears at the press conference, there was thunderous applause. All the eyes of rice fans online and offline fell on the new flagship Xiaomi Mi 6.

certainly.

The "face recognition" function installed on Xiaomi Mi 6 has inevitably attracted the attention of netizens, causing great discussion on the Internet.

“6666, I didn’t expect Xiaomi to launch ‘face recognition’. It’s awesome! Is this the first domestic mobile phone manufacturer?”

"???You upstairs just got online? Nietzsche Mobile launched this feature a few months ago, but Xiaomi should be the second one."

"Nietzsche? What brand of mobile phone does Nietzsche have?!"

"It's not a first-tier brand, so it's not surprising if you're not familiar with it. I have to say that Xiaomi's actions are really fast this time. I thought it would take half a year before the 'face recognition' function is launched on new mobile phones."

"Yes, I used to laugh at Xiaomi as an assembly factory that only purchases other people's hardware and technology. Now it seems that Xiaomi still has something. It's not bad to be the second company to launch the 'face recognition' function."

"Come on, stop bragging. A friend of mine at Huawei told me that the 'face recognition' function is not difficult at all, as long as you have the skills. It's just that Nietzsche beat me to it."

"Haha, don't be upset. In any case, 'face recognition' is a high-end configuration. This time, I prefer Xiaomi. I will buy one Xiaomi Mi 6."

"I'll buy one too! I've been coveting the 'face recognition' function of the 'Nietzsche X1' for a long time. Xiaomi is so conscientious this time!"

"+1!"

Naturally, Rebus will no longer introduce their solution to the Nietzsche Company at the press conference.

Mo Ran would not offend his sponsor in public by being so arrogant, he would just keep silent and make a fortune.

but,

Although netizens are not sure whether the "face recognition" function of Xiaomi 6 is a self-developed technology or a procurement plan,

But in the mobile phone industry, rumors have already spread.

Huawei headquarters.

Even though it was the New Year's Day holiday, the Huawei headquarters building was still bustling with people.

On January 3, Mr. Yu Dazui returned to Huawei from his vacation early to start working.

Just after 10 a.m., an assistant walked in with a document.

"Mr. Yu, as expected, Xiaomi released their new flagship phone - Xiaomi Mi 6 last night."

"This is their information about Xiaomi Mi 6."

"Okay, put it on the table."

Yu Dazui nodded and responded. He had seen this news on the news early this morning.

"But it's quite strange, Mr. Yu."

"Usually Xiaomi's press conferences are held in March, after Apple's spring press conference. I didn't expect that this time Mr. Rebusley would really advance the event."

Yu Dazui shook his head and did not make any further comments.

He picked up the documents on the table and said:

"I was busy last night and didn't watch their new product launch. Xiao Li, what do you think of their Xiaomi Mi 6?"

"good!"

"Xiaomi Mi 6 still implements Xiaomi's consistent cost-effectiveness concept, and the price-performance ratio is very high."

Assistant Xiao Li's praise did not make Yu Dazui feel unhappy at all. He picked up the teacup and stood up and walked to the water dispenser aside, saying:

"Then tell me more specifically."

“Let’s start with the three major components of a mobile phone: screen, camera, and chip.”

"good."

The assistant did not dare to neglect, and had obviously done his homework. After sorting out his words a little, he said:

"Xiaomi 6 uses a BOE screen, a 5.15-inch small screen, a resolution of 1920x1080, a screen pixel density of 428ppi, a contrast ratio of 1500:1, and a screen-to-body ratio of 71.45%."

"It is indeed this screen."

Taking a sip of tea, Yu Dazuo revealed a smile.

"Test you, what screen is used on our upcoming flagship Huawei Meta 10? How is its performance?"

"Ours is: 5.9 inches, 2560x1440 pixels, 498 pixels per inch density, 81.95% screen-to-body ratio."

Yu Dazui nodded with satisfaction.

“On the screen, we are clearly ahead of our peers.”

"Go on, let's talk about the camera."

"Xiaomi 6 has an 8-megapixel front camera and a 12-megapixel wide-angle + 12-megapixel telephoto lens on the rear..."

"What about us?"

“Our Meta 10 has an 8-megapixel front camera, a 12-megapixel color camera + a 20-megapixel black and white camera on the back.”

"And it uses Leica lenses."

Yu Dazuo raised a smile.

"That's right! We continue to lead!"

After the words fell, before Yu Dazui could ask another question this time, assistant Xiao Li continued to speak with discernment:

"On the chip, Xiaomi Mi 6 uses Qualcomm's flagship high-performance chip just released last year - Snapdragon 835, eight-core 64-bit, with a maximum frequency of 2.4Ghz."

"Our Huawei Meta 10 uses our self-developed 'Kirin 970', which is also a high-performance eight-core processor. Not to mention anything else, its GPU performance alone is more than 50% ahead of its peers."

"You're right!"

Yu Dazui laughed heartily.

"We're way ahead!"

The atmosphere of being far ahead lasted for more than a minute, and assistant Xiao Li finally couldn't help but cough slightly.

"but……"

"But this time Xiaomi Mi 6 is not without its highlights. They have launched the 'face recognition function'."

"We also have the 'face recognition' function..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Dazui was suddenly stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Face recognition? Xiaomi 6 launched 'face recognition'?"

"Well, face recognition!"

After receiving a confirmed reply, Yu Dazui was silent for a moment, but then suddenly snorted, with a slightly disdainful tone.

“There are several types of ‘face recognition’ functions!”

“‘2D infrared scanning’, ‘3D structured light’, and ‘camera photo AI algorithm imaging’ can all be realized. It can be said that the ‘face recognition’ function also has its advantages and disadvantages!”

“Even if Xiaomi has developed the ‘face recognition’ function, I still have to say...”

"Our 'Tof face recognition' technology is still far ahead!"

"cough……"

Assistant Xiao Li coughed lightly.

“Mr. Yu, it seems that Xiaomi is using the facial recognition technology of ‘Nietzsche Phone’!”

"What about Nietzsche..."

? ? ?

? ? ?

Halfway through, Yu Dazui swallowed the words in his mouth. The disdainful smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his face became extremely stiff.

“Nietzsche’s ‘3D face recognition technology’?”

"Um."

Yu Dazui's face turned completely gloomy.

If it were the "face recognition" technology independently developed by Xiaomi, it could be said to be far ahead with disdain.

But if it were Nietzsche...

Huawei's technical team has analyzed the "3D face recognition function" on the "Nietzsche X1"!

That is truly far ahead!

To put it simply, the current mainstream research and development direction on the market is to assist dynamic capture for face recognition by identifying "triangle recognition technology" composed of "eyes" and "mouth".

Of course, "face recognition" can also be completed in this way.

But compared with the "3D structured light face recognition" technology of "Nietzsche X1\

,"hehe.

Nietzsche's technology is judged by infrared camera + random dot matrix projector + AI algorithm, and can be unlocked even in the dark state and mask state...

Not only is the accuracy rate very high, but the security is also several levels higher than other manufacturers' technical solutions, which is simply incomparable!

even.

Even the Tof facial recognition technology currently developed by Huawei has gained a lot of inspiration and inspiration from it!

Now, faced with the technology of "Nietzsche Mobile", it is impossible to say "far ahead"!

It took him a few minutes to regain his composure and asked his assistant:

“Xiaomi actually purchased ‘Nietzsche’s’ facial recognition technology?!”

"should be."

"Why didn't we go talk to Nietzsche? Why didn't you remind me?"

Assistant Xiao Li's face fell instantly.

"Mr. Yu, you are wronged!"

"I warned you, but you refused."

"At first, you considered that our technical team was also developing '3D face recognition' technology and the progress was good, so you didn't contact Nietzsche... It's really not my fault."

Yu Dazui's unhappy mood became even more congested. Unexpectedly, Xiaomi took advantage of this loophole and was far ahead.

But think on the bright side.

Among Huawei's main competitors, only Xiaomi is far ahead, so there is no big problem.

"Forget it, I don't blame you for this."

"What's the progress of our technical team now? We also need to launch the '3D face recognition' function as soon as possible."

"It's coming to an end and it should be online within three months..."

The words just fell.

The screen of Yu Dazui's mobile phone on his desk suddenly rang, and suddenly an APP notification appeared at the top of the screen.

Assistant Xiao Li glanced at it.

"Opop will hold a new product launch conference in three days and launch the new flagship Opop R11, which will be equipped with the latest 'face recognition' function..."

Xiao Li had just read the notification message, and obviously Yu Dazui also noticed it.

The two looked at each other above the desk.

After a while, Yu Dazui said expressionlessly:

"Opop has also launched new products in advance, and the flagship R11 is also equipped with a 'face recognition' function."

"You won't tell me that Opop also bought Nietzsche's technology, right?"

Assistant Xiao Li couldn't help but swallowed.

"It seems, maybe, maybe, probably... right?"

“The needle doesn’t poke!”

Yu Dazui suddenly sneered and roared angrily.

"Nietzsche mobile phone, you are so short of money!"

"Is such top-notch technology being sold to outsiders? Are they all being given to friends?"

"You're so damn far ahead!"
