Huang Yong's vision is very unique in Zhang Wenhao's opinion. At the very least, he is very foreseeable. If he had not redeemed the software package, he would not have known what kind of software would become popular in the future, but he could amplify the demand from the computer terminal to
On mobile phones, this requires a certain degree of vision and confidence.
However, the photography terminator he is about to launch can be regarded as a masterpiece that is several years ahead of the future generations. But whether this masterpiece can work well now, even Zhang Wenhao himself is not sure. Thinking of this, Zhang Wenhao asked Huang Yong:
"If I give you a mobile phone camera software that can hit the SLR market in the short term, how far do you think you can operate it?"
"Mobile software that hits the SLR market?!" Huang Yong looked at Zhang Wenhao in surprise, thinking he heard wrong, and blurted out: "SLR is synonymous with high-end and professional photography, and now is the hottest time, mobile phone
No matter how high the pixels are, they are still inferior to ordinary digital cameras in the eyes of consumers, let alone SLRs?”
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly. Huang Yong was right. In the field of photography, SLR is definitely synonymous with professionalism, and the current form of SLR is also very popular. It is natural for Huang Yong to doubt his words.
However, the advent of the photography terminator in later generations really hit the international sales of SLRs, and it was a big blow. For this reason, the stock prices of many top Japanese optical companies have plummeted. The reason is now
SLR, the development is too abnormal.
Zhang Wenhao asked Huang Yong: "What do you think of the current SLR market?"
"Good!" Huang Yong blurted out: "Very good! Now is the golden time for SLRs. In the eyes of ordinary consumers, the previous SLRs were too high-end and too cumbersome. Except for professional photographers and high-end photography hobbies,
No one would buy such an expensive thing, but in recent years, with the continuous price reduction of SLRs and the continuous development of the Internet, people's requirements for the quality of displayed pictures have increased. Many consumers are considering buying a SLR, and
Many people have already bought it. In the past, it was ordinary digital cameras, especially compact cameras. But now, you go to various tourist attractions to take a look. Almost from young people in their teens and twenties to those in their forties and fifties.
Almost all of the middle-aged and elderly people have a SLR camera hanging around their necks, and the market is excellent."
Zhang Wenhao laughed and said: "That's right! There are too many people using SLRs now, and there are too many people who are obsessed with SLRs. SLRs are no longer synonymous with professionalism, but have become synonymous with pretentiousness. Look at those people on the street.
A person who doesn’t even know what aperture is. He is also holding a SLR camera and shooting wildly at various things. Most of the photos he takes are out of focus. This kind of person, but
I have become a fan of buying SLRs, why?”
"It's just vanity." Huang Yong smiled faintly and said, "I have long discovered that the purpose of chasing SLRs nowadays is not simple. What most people enjoy is the psychological feeling when holding that professional equipment, rather than the real purpose of taking pictures.
Produce good photos.”
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said with a smile: "It is true that the current SLRs are too abnormally developed. After many consumers buy SLRs, they will have a strong desire for photography at first and want to take good photos of their own choice, but then
As time goes by, as the interest continues to fade, the SLR eventually becomes a home furnishing. The exterior decoration, in other words, the SLR placed at home is a furnishing that adds to the style of the home. Take it out and it becomes
It’s an ornament on my hand, no different from sunglasses.”
At this point, Zhang Wenhao changed the topic and said: "The SLR also has its disadvantages. For many ordinary people, this thing is too bulky and cumbersome. Many girls will get sore hands after holding them for a while, and
, I don’t have a certain understanding of photography, and the effects taken with it will not be much better than those of ordinary cameras. However, the software I am going to make is powerful enough to process images with 8 million pixels.
The mobile phone camera can take photos that are infinitely close to those of a SLR.”
"How is it possible..." Huang Yong thought he heard a fantasy.
Zhang Wenhao explained with a smile: "Because of its powerful yet simple and practical processing functions, it can produce very good secondary processing effects. Although the pixels are not as good as those of a SLR camera, the processed mobile phone photos have pixels at a small size."
The gap is not noticeable at all. You should know how big the original proportion of the photos taken by a 20-30 million SLR camera is. Let me ask you, ordinary people, who has such a large size monitor to display these pictures? Even if
Yes, who really has such a top-notch monitor that can achieve that level of clarity?”
With that said, Zhang Wenhao added: "With this software, the processed photos of mine, while ensuring the original proportions, will not be any different in terms of pixels than those of a SLR when viewed by ordinary consumers using an ordinary visual terminal monitor."
, After all, when mobile phone pictures and SLR pictures are put on the Internet, the length and width are generally no larger than one thousand pixels. In this size, the picture effect processed by my software will not be any different from that of a SLR."
"What about the lens?" Huang Yong said: "The lens of the SLR camera is its king, not the pixels. For ordinary mobile phone cameras, even if the pixels are high, the lens cannot have too high parameters. The most important thing is that it cannot
With optical zoom, you can only simply take pictures, but if you want to create truly photographic effects, you still need a SLR camera to complete it."
Zhang Wenhao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and said: "This depends on the ability of the software itself. For example, the SLR is real and the software is virtual. Do you think that the virtual one will definitely not be as good as the real one? Most of those visual blockbusters are
The effects are all virtualized, but actual machines are far from able to produce such effects."
Having said this, Zhang Wenhao smiled lightly and said: "Although this software is unlikely to be favored by professionals, it is definitely enough for ordinary consumers. When they find that they don't need to use a SLR, they just use
Mobile phones can make ordinary people look infinitely close to the effect of a SLR. Do you think a bulky and expensive SLR still has any appeal to them?"
Huang Yong frowned and asked: "Is there really such a powerful software?"
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "It is definitely much more powerful than you think. Moreover, the core technical part of this software is almost completed. It is being done by a behind-the-scenes development team of mine. I started this company just to
Of course, the operation of this software will not be like Meitu Xiuxiu. There are only some markets in mainland China. Our initial focus is to locate the global market and use the Apple Store to quickly promote its users on Apple terminals.
Expand."
"Global market?" Huang Yong asked: "Is it just relying on the Apple Store? Now the number of Android users is larger."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "We must start with Apple first. Because Apple's system is only used on its own terminal machines, Android's openness makes it extremely uncontrollable. If you want to make money, you must start with Apple."
.”
In fact, Zhang Wenhao’s subtext was not spoken. If I guessed correctly, Apple is very angry about Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram. It’s just that it is absolutely impossible for Apple to show this kind of thing. But in the future, Apple will spend a lot of money to acquire Photography Terminator.
It can also be seen that Apple has long been very unhappy with the success of Instagram.
An application that became very popular on its own platform was taken away by Facebook before I could even start using it. This in itself is nothing, because most of Apple’s software are products of other companies, but this software is really too bad.
It became popular. Apple later analyzed that if this software was acquired by itself and used only on the Apple platform, it would be a great boost to the sales of Apple terminals. It sounds a bit ridiculous, because consumers will
Choose a terminal over a software?
But in fact, consumers do have such a mentality. When some consumers buy laptops, they will even abandon one brand and invest in another brand because of whether it has built-in Bluetooth. Moreover, it is not fundamental for them to have built-in Bluetooth.
It doesn't make much sense. He could spend 20 yuan to buy a mini Bluetooth adapter, which just occupies a UBS interface, but the psychology of consumers is so strange.
Bluetooth is still replaceable, but its unique software is definitely not replaceable. After its popularity, its influence on consumers will be huge.
Just imagine, what would happen if WeChat was not made by Tencent, but by Apple?
Some people may say that if you can’t use WeChat, you can use Momo, you can use MiLiao, there are always other dating tools on the market.
That's true, but that's assuming there are competitors, but the Photographic Terminator won't have any competitors in five years, let alone now?!
Apple has secretly suffered from Instagram's losses. Therefore, starting from Facebook's acquisition of Instagram, no matter when the photography terminator emerges at any time, it will become the target of Apple's efforts. By then, Apple will naturally be willing to spend a large amount of cash to
For this software acquisition, after all, Apple has cash on hand that it doesn’t know where to spend.
Cashing out is Zhang Wenhao’s primary goal.
He won't bother running it forever just for a piece of software. Although he may get higher profits later, the results will be too slow. What he lacks most now is a large amount of start-up capital, and then use it
This money can be used for other things. As for good software, he has a lot of it in his mind.
Huang Yong immediately said: "If there is such a software, I am willing to cut my salary in half to take this position, and try my best to make it the best." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Wenhao very suspiciously and said: "Just
I'm afraid that what you said to me is too watery."
For Huang Yong, his primary purpose has never been to make money, but to become an excellent operating talent. Since we talk about operations, we must have successful products. Meitu Xiuxiu is one, but the credit no longer belongs to him.
, if what Zhang Wenhao said is true, then he has the opportunity to become one of the top operating talents in this industry, or even one of them!
At this time, Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "I will not cut your salary. On the contrary, I will calculate your salary from now on. When the product is actually produced and placed in front of you, you will tell me whether you agree or not."
.”
"Seriously?!" Huang Yong didn't expect Zhang Wenhao to have such great confidence. It seemed that Zhang Wenhao's expression and attitude didn't look like he was joking at all.
Zhang Wenhao nodded slightly and said: "What I said today is absolutely not false."
Huang Yong immediately stood up and extended his hand to Zhang Wenhao. He said excitedly: "Then I'll wait for your news. I hope you can keep your word! I'm waiting to see that absolutely epoch-making software!"
Zhang Wenhao shook hands with Huang Yong, smiled lightly, and said: "Don't worry, it will definitely exceed your imagination."
...
In the next two days, Zhang Wenhao recruited three more financial personnel for the company, an accountant, a cashier, and a financial director. His company does not involve large-scale purchases, commissions, rebates and other black-box operations, so Zhang Wenhao also has a lot of financial problems.
Don't worry, the accounts of this kind of company are clear to begin with, plus there are three people who check and balance each other. The initial expenses are personnel salaries and channel development. As long as you pay attention to the financial situation regularly, you don't have to worry about big financial problems.
For the technical development team, Zhang Wenhao directly hired a small team from a company that specializes in mobile phone readers, and then hired a few more designers. In this way, the company's scale has already begun to take shape.
The first department to work was technology. After the team was in place, Zhang Wenhao gave specific requirements and wrote out all the development work that needed to be done in detail. For those technical staff, as long as they do it according to their own requirements, they will be fine.
Everything is ok. When the time comes, you can just sneak the core code into it. As for the core code, he used a unique algorithm to encrypt it. Not to mention plagiarism, others would only dream to take a look at it.
As the company has people working, issues such as expenses, salary accounting, attendance, etc. will arise, so the finance and human resources people will also start working immediately.
Chen Lijun also came to work at the company as scheduled. She was the HR director. The first thing she did when she came to work was to skillfully purchase several advertising spaces on several major recruitment websites, and then began to advertise the company's recruitment.
Chen Lijun was just a bare-bones commander at first, but her efficiency was really fast. In just five days, she interviewed more than fifty people. By Friday afternoon, she had already confirmed three personnel positions.
In addition to the candidates, two front desk staff, we also found several suitable assistant directors for Huang Yong who was about to join the company.
Zhang Wenhao offered a double monthly salary to the technical department as soon as he came on, and asked them to start non-stop closed development. In just one week, the improvement work was completed, and he was just waiting for Zhang Wenhao to embed the core code of the mobile software into it.
In accordance with Zhang Wenhao's requirements, the design department has done all kinds of visual design of the software very well. From the chart logo, to the first interface, the who-to-photograph interface, and the functional interface, everything is extremely exquisite.
Now, all photography functions of Photography Terminator have been fully developed. What is left is a community sharing function that has not yet been launched. This technical requirement is not high, but the requirements for the server are relatively high, and the server needs to be constantly set up.
, the community must also develop and conduct closed testing before it can be launched online, but it does not matter, Zhang Wenhao is planning to launch the 1.0 version of Photography Terminator first and put it on the Apple store first. This also follows the successful route of later generations of Photography Terminator.
On Friday afternoon, Zhang Wenhao called Chen Lijun and asked her to notify all employees in the company to work overtime tonight, because tonight he would take the nesting program to the company, complete the nesting in the company, and test the software, but working overtime would not be possible.
Not working overtime in vain, each employee can receive three days' daily salary as a subsidy.
Although the company's employees have just joined the company for only a week, they are very satisfied with the working environment, humanistic environment and welfare benefits. Therefore, even if Zhang Wenhao asks them to work overtime voluntarily, they have no complaints. What's more, what they have to do today is
For the overall test, they have been working overtime on the peripheral work of this software for a week, but no one knows what this software will look like after the core code program is nested in. It seems that everyone has already
After designing the shape of the car, the car's suspension and safety facilities, the only thing missing is the core power generation and transmission system. Whether the result will be a Ferrari or a Geely Beauty Leopard wearing a Ferrari shell, everyone is looking forward to it.
The moment the mystery is revealed.
Zhang Wenhao notified Huang Yong in advance to meet at the company at 6:30 p.m. He rushed to the company immediately after school, carrying only two things with him.
A USB flash drive and a jailbroken iPhone.
After arriving at the company, all the employees finally met the young boss for the second time. However, no one in the company had any doubts about Zhang Wenhao's ability. First of all, he was the one who put forward the needs to the technical department and directly proposed solutions.
At that time, the entire technical department staff was shocked. They found that the boss's proficiency in technology was beyond their reach. If he had not directly proposed the plan, I am afraid that this work would not have been completed in a week.
No.
As for several people in the design department, they all admired Zhang Wenhao very much because they found that Zhang Wenhao's aesthetics and visual awareness were advanced. All the design work they did was submitted to Zhang Wenhao with detailed plans.
They do it. When they first do it, they feel that such work means nothing to them, because their subjective opinions have no effect at all. They are just a machine that works according to instructions. But when they do it
After the finished product was produced, they discovered that the visual effects of this software were so good that they themselves could not believe it. The more they looked at it, the more they liked it, and the more they looked at it, the more flavorful it became.
It's a pity that they, the people in the technology department, and Huang Yong, who has not officially joined the company, still don't know what the essence of this software will be, and today, the answer will be revealed.
(To be continued...)!~!
