"Last night at the Hongmi fourth-generation new mobile phone launch conference, the visual algorithm developed by Deepin Technology was demonstrated. What do you think about this matter?"
In the high-level conference room of Jingzhou Hongruan Technology Company, Deng Yaohui's face looked a little solemn.
Looking around at the company executives sitting on both sides of the conference table, he asked this question in a deep voice.
When he first learned that Deepin Technology was preparing to enter the field of visual algorithms, he sent a vice president to discuss cooperation.
I hope to buy this vision algorithm or directly acquire Deepin Technology.
It is a pity that this cooperation was not reached in the end.
What is even more unexpected is that Deepin Technology has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Hongmi Mobile.
Originally, Hongmi mobile phones, as a low-end brand, occupied a limited market compared to other manufacturers. Even if they gave up cooperation with RedSoft and boldly chose Deep Technology in pursuit of the ultimate cost-effectiveness, it would still not threaten RedSoft’s absolute dominance in this field. status.
But who would have thought that Xu Yun, who developed this visual algorithm, would actually prove the world's most difficult mathematical problem.
As a result, the entire mathematical community has focused its attention, and the public has joined the incident and actively participated in the discussion, which indirectly made the popularity of Hongmi's new mobile phone continue to rise.
The successful breakout attracted a lot of attention.
The key point is that judging from the results of the live demonstration at yesterday's press conference, Deepin Technology's visual algorithm has surpassed them.
This is the most unbelievable thing.
From the perspective of the company's senior management, Xu Yun is a genius and has made great achievements in the field of graphics, but it is undoubtedly impossible to compare with them by suddenly entering the field of visual algorithms.
After all, they have been researching in this field for many years, so technical barriers are not easy to break.
As long as they are always ahead in technology, no matter what kind of preferential plans Deepin Technology offers, other mobile phone manufacturers will definitely not agree to it.
Naihe's thoughts are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
The effect presented by Deepin Technology’s visual algorithm slapped them hard.
Not only did they directly level the gap between the two, they even faintly surpassed them, Hongruan.
The moment Deng Yaohui saw the photos taken by Hongmi's mobile phone, a sentence suddenly came to his mind.
The most important thing in the new century is talent.
Because of Xu Yun's talent in mathematics and computers, he easily achieved the results of their years of technical research.
It is now impossible to eliminate competition through cooperation. Countermeasures must be formulated as soon as possible to ensure that oneself occupy the market share.
Without exception, those who can sit here are at the core level of the company, and of course they are aware of the current situation of the company.
As Deng Yaohui's voice fell, the entire conference room fell into a brief silence.
No one rashly expressed their opinions.
Deng Yaohui also understood what everyone was worried about, so he had to take the initiative to help people in this situation.
"Old Zhao."
"You are in charge of technology, tell me what you think."
The last time Zhao Changyou went to in-depth technology negotiations, although he met Xu Yun who rarely appeared in the company, the final result was still fruitless.
Originally, he didn't plan to be the first to express his opinion, but since he was called out by his boss, he had no choice but to reply.
“Our Hongsoft vision algorithm has been optimized through many iterations and spent so many years researching. The reason why we can occupy the vast majority of the market share in this field is precisely because it can help mobile phone smart cameras to take powerful photos. Camera effect.”
"After all, Deepin Technology is a rising star company. Without personal systematic testing, I don't think their algorithm can surpass ours."
"The press conference will inevitably exaggerate the facts, and we need to further confirm this."
Zhao Changyou is naturally very confident in his own technology. Considering that the founder of Deepin Technology can even prove the world's mathematical problems, it seems reasonable to develop more advanced visual algorithms.
Therefore, he did not say too much and only asked for systematic testing of Hongmi mobile phones equipped with Deepin Technology vision algorithms.
In order to maximize the effect of the camera function this time, Hongmi has kept the confidentiality of the new machine in place.
After the official release, he has already asked people to purchase it. How effective Deepin Technology's visual algorithm is will be known after systematic and comprehensive testing.
After listening to Zhao Changyou's words, Deng Yaohui frowned more and more. Now was not the time to underestimate his opponent.
No matter what the outcome is, there must always be alternatives, otherwise no one can guarantee what the company will look like in the future.
Just as Deng Yaohui was thinking, planning to determine a few future planning guidelines for the company, another manager's voice came to his ears.
"Mr. Deng."
"I don't think we need to be so worried."
“The visual algorithms of mobile phone smart cameras are of course important to users.”
“But stability is also essential.”
"Our technology has passed the test of the market, and the algorithm has been iteratively upgraded many times. The stability is definitely not comparable to Deepin Technology."
"As long as our vision algorithm is upgraded as soon as possible, the market will still be in our hands based on years of operation."
And these words were immediately recognized by others, and as the chat box was completely opened, they all spoke in agreement.
“Stability is really a big advantage for us.”
"Without adaptation to a large number of models, their algorithm will definitely not be optimized to its best state."
"Unless their algorithm is intelligently iterated, problems will arise during use."
"I think we should contact major mobile phone manufacturers as soon as possible to finalize the next stage of cooperation."
…
When users use mobile phone cameras to take photos or videos, they are indeed pursuing the ultimate photo effect. However, if functions such as crashes or optimization and image quality enhancement fail from time to time, they must carefully consider whether to buy this phone.
It is conceivable that once this situation is discovered, the reputation of Hongmi's new phones will collapse.
Even if the price is relatively cost-effective, it will still be prohibitive.
At this time, Deng Yaohui finally felt more relaxed. He first nodded to this opinion, and then issued several orders in the language he had just organized.
"The technology department must upgrade our visual algorithm as soon as possible and test the detailed effect data of Deepin Technology."
"I understand, Mr. Deng." Zhao Changyou replied.
After looking away from Zhao Changyou, Deng Yaohui immediately looked at the other person and said.
"Strengthen contact with manufacturers whose contracts in our phase are about to expire and try to persuade them to sign new contracts."
"We also need to draft a new strategic plan for the company as soon as possible. If the market in the field of visual algorithms is really seized by deep technology, we must complete part of the transformation."
He had no choice in making this decision. After all, most of RedSoft's revenue relies on the licensing of mobile phone smart camera vision algorithm technology. Once this piece of cake is divided, the company's financial statements will shrink rapidly.
In order to avoid the worst consequences, transitioning to other areas has become the best way.
However, transformation is not that easy. There are also many examples in the market where transformation failure led to bankruptcy.
You must plan and prepare in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to turn back if you make a wrong step.
Naturally, everyone had no objection to the instructions given by Deng Yaohui, and responded in unison.
At this point in the meeting, although it was relatively short, Deng Yaohui was no longer in the mood to continue.
Then he announced the end of the meeting and asked everyone to carry out the matters at hand as soon as possible.
…
…
At noon in a personal studio in Shenzhen City, Yang Kecun was sitting in front of a hairtail screen computer, preparing to post the video that had just been completed to his platform account.
As a review video blogger, he started from the very beginning with dismantling videos.
It developed into a small studio at the back consisting of a few like-minded people.
The account has tens of millions of fans across the entire network.
Because they focus on seeking truth from facts and will not avoid the shortcomings of mobile phones during reviews just to charge more money, they are very popular among digital enthusiasts.
Because of this, mobile phone manufacturers still come to us every quarter, hoping to produce a review video for their new models.
Of course, most of the manufacturers we come to have confidence in their new products.
He held a press conference for Hongmi’s fourth-generation new phone and got the phone a few days before it was officially launched for sale.
We also evaluated various functions of the mobile phone and produced corresponding videos.
Due to the original confidentiality agreement, this video has not been released until now.
Speaking of which, he was also very surprised when he first received a private message from Hongmi's operations.
Unexpectedly, Hongmi would find him to make a business deal.
You must know that the mobile phone review videos posted on his account are basically mid-to-high-end flagship phones.
If you are used to eating big fish and meat, you will inevitably get into trouble when you suddenly have a plate of vegetables.
As a low-end model, Hongmi has a lot of hardware that is inferior to high-end models.
The parameters are not very good looking.
As a result, Hongmi made a casual comment, which immediately aroused his curiosity.
I want to know what is so special about this phone that it actually behaves so confidently.
In fact, when he first received the mobile phone, he was quite disappointed.
I think that apart from being cheaper, this phone has nothing special compared to other phones on the market.
Until he turned on the camera function of his phone.
The near-real picture quality enhancement effect in a dark night environment, powerful anti-shake and deep-field shooting, coupled with functions such as real-time blur picture optimization and natural beautification of portraits, easily surpassed other products on the market in every aspect tested. model.
Even Apple, which uses its own vision algorithm, will be at a disadvantage.
If this kind of camera effect appears in high-end mobile phones, he may sigh and say that mobile phone manufacturers are getting better and better.
It can be mounted on such a low-end mobile phone camera, which makes people completely unable to suppress the urge to swear.
Hold the grass.
This photo is perfect.
At that moment, he completely understood why Hongmi was so confident.
With such a powerful camera function as an advantage, coupled with the extremely cost-effective price, the shortcomings in other parameters do not matter.
After reviewing so many mobile phones, he has never had such a strong desire to become popular as he does now.
The video direction was determined the day I got the phone, and together with the people in the studio, I selected the photo effects in different scenarios, as well as the comparison pictures with high-end models.
We completed the shooting and post-production in the shortest possible time, and released it on the first day of launch.
"The development of technology is indeed inseparable from outstanding talents, and Hongmi is lucky enough to have benefited greatly."
"I'm afraid this phone will really become popular after this."
Yang Kecun looked at the video that was already under review on the screen, murmured with emotion, and picked up his phone to give a preview to the fan group in advance.
Since many people also watched the press conference last night and were interested in the photo effects it showed, they naturally wanted to know what the actual situation was.
Therefore, after seeing the messages in the group, a large number of new messages popped up in the chat window instantly.
"Boss Yang actually took Hongmi's order, what a blessing!"
"I dare to let Boss Yang review it. It seems that Hongmi is indeed very confident in its own products this time."
"I wanted to buy it yesterday, but I hesitated because I was afraid of being stabbed in the back."
"Boss Yang, please tell me first, how is the photo taking effect? I think it is very suitable for girls."
"Sit back and wait for the video update."
"I think it should really have this effect. After all, the person who developed this visual algorithm proved the Hodge conjecture, a difficult problem in mathematics in the world. He is obviously the kind of genius that is hard to come across in many years."
…
At first, Yang Kecun only knew that the visual algorithm Hongmi was equipped with this time was developed by Deepin Technology, but he did not know that the real boss behind it was an undergraduate student from Jingzhou University, and he had just proved the Hodge conjecture of the world's most difficult mathematical problem. Two million prizes awarded by the school and the Mathematical Society.
After taking Hongmi's order, he specifically checked these things. He was shocked and at the same time admired Xu Yun's genius.
However, in the face of questioning from everyone in the group, he did not destroy the mystery and directly revealed the result.
I sent another message asking them to wait patiently for the video update, and then went to have dinner with a few people in the studio.
Soon after the video was released on the scientific review account, fans who had been waiting for it were the first to click in and watch it.
When seeing the vivid and realistic photo effects, it can be said that everyone was shocked. If it weren't for the text message prompts from Hongmi and other mobile phones under the two photos, I am afraid no one would have believed this level of photography. Photos were taken from low-end mobile phones.
Especially when shooting in different scenes such as dark night, shaking and deep scenes, and there is no difference in the photo effect, the desire to buy it immediately becomes extremely strong.
It is also worth mentioning that in the video, Yang Kecun also specifically tested the stability of the camera function.
When he evaluates the photography effects of other cameras, he often doesn’t pay much attention to this content.
After all, if the camera is not stable, there is no point in making a mobile phone.
Considering that Hongmi used the new visual algorithm for the first time, it was specially added.
Of course, the final result is also very satisfying. No matter what the situation is when entering the camera, the stable operation of various functions can be guaranteed.
If after watching the press conference yesterday, many people were still skeptical about the photo effects, now they have only one thought left.
You must seize the time to buy.
As for the reason, many users also commented in the video comment area.
"This kind of photo-taking effect is simply unparalleled. Deepin Technology is worthy of being an upstart in the field of imaging."
“When I usually take pictures with this phone, I don’t need to open the image restoration tool to optimize the photos. It is indeed a lot easier and more convenient.”
"Whoever said yesterday that the new vision algorithm would definitely not be stable must be slapped in the face now."
"Even a low-end mobile phone camera can produce this effect. If it is used on a high-end mobile phone, wouldn't it be comparable to a professional camera?"
"I would say that people who can prove the world's mathematical problems will definitely not be too ordinary in other fields."
"I feel the effect of the photo is even more amazing than Apple."
"I hope that mobile phone manufacturers will act quickly. I want to see the next new mobile phones equipped with this visual algorithm."
…
The popularity of the fourth generation of Hongmi mobile phones is already unstoppable, and with the two-way expansion of popularity and word-of-mouth, in the future, even if mobile phone brands use deep technology visual algorithms, many users will still be willing to pay for Hongmi.
It can be said that there is a revolution in the field of mobile phone smart camera vision algorithms, because deep technology is quietly unfolding.
Just when the sales of Hongmi mobile phones were soaring, the technical department of Hongruan Technology Company also conducted a systematic and comprehensive test on the visual algorithms equipped on the mobile phones and obtained various data.
"This is the visual algorithm test data of Deepin Technology. What is the result?"
In the president's office, Deng Yaohui took the paper document handed over by Zhao Changyou, lowered his eyes and asked casually.
At this moment, Zhao Changyou's face looked very solemn. He did not directly answer Deng Yaohui's question, but looked at the document and spoke in a deep voice.
"Mr. Deng."
"The document contains Deepin Technology's visual algorithm, which is compared with various data of our company's algorithm."
"You can take a look first."
When Deng Yaohui heard this, he stopped talking nonsense and immediately opened the file and looked at the contents.
Almost as soon as the data information caught his eye, his expression immediately dropped.
He is not a technical person. Although he doesn't know much about the visual algorithm, he can still see the amount of data.
According to the comparison of data information in the file, Deepin Technology’s visual algorithm has advantages in all parameters.
In other words, their own algorithm, which they are proud of, has become a backward technology.
Even though I was mentally prepared for this situation, I still felt like something was stuck in my heart when I saw it with my own eyes.
The next second, Deng Yaohui thought of another thing and hurriedly closed the document and asked.
"What about the stability of their algorithm? Has it been tested?"
"This is also under testing. Although I don't know how Deepin Technology does it, the stability is no different from ours."
Upon hearing the news, Deng Yaohui was completely discouraged, as if RedSoft Technology had been sentenced to death.
After a moment of slowing down, he gathered some strength and made a decision.
"Inform all departments to complete the planning of the company's transformation plan as soon as possible. We must plan as soon as possible."
"I understand Mr. Deng."
Zhao Changyou nodded, turned around and left the office in response.
He has been at Hongruan for so many years, and he has some feelings for it, but the market is like this and no one can do anything about it.
It can only be said that their technology is not advanced enough and they have not paid attention to the cultivation of relevant talents.
It is only a matter of time before it is surpassed. It is simply because Deepin Technology companies have advanced this time.
Xu Yun didn't pay much attention to the external situation in the past two days. After determining the research direction of his graduation thesis, his life basically became regular.
In addition to doing a lot of calculations and trying to find new proof methods every day, I also spend time in the library looking for literature.
But there is no doubt that as time passes, his graduation thesis is gradually taking shape.
