My science and technology museum

There is a saying circulating in the industry that among the user groups, women and primary school students make the most money.

Penguin Holdings and Ali Group are the best explanations of this sentence.

And Xu Lei also tasted the benefits today.

If I had known that a simple smart beauty app could bring so many paying users, I should have made it the protagonist when doing video promotions.

But Xu Lei didn't know.

Just when he entered the school library, he was noticed by other big companies because of this incident.

…

…

Meixiu Technology Co., Ltd. is a company that started and developed around beauty. The series of software and hardware products it created, such as Meixiu and Yanmei cameras, have changed the way users create and share beauty, and have made the selfie culture deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It has been nearly ten years since the company was established and was successfully listed on the Main Board of Hong Kong Island.

The number of monthly active users of Meixiu app exceeds 100 million.

Since the company has just launched a new generation of Mixiu camera phones, business matters are a little more cumbersome than usual, so President Wu Rendi has already arrived at his office and started working before office hours.

While looking through the accumulated documents, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Please come in."

Product manager Cheng Yuanzhi pushed open the door and walked in, holding a printed paper document in his hand.

"Mr. Wu."

“In the past few days, a smart photo editing software called Deep Missing has suddenly appeared on the market.”

"Not only has it caused quite a stir on the Internet, but it has also had a certain impact on our beauty show."

"This is the relevant information I collected. Please take a look."

Cheng Yuanzhi's ability to take the position of product manager relies on his grasp and acumen of the market.

He noticed Deep Remembrance when it first came online, but at that time, he thought that this software was only a tool for some users to commemorate their deceased relatives. Although it had some technical means, it would not affect the beauty of portraits. to threats.

After all, the fields and user groups involved in the two are different.

So he didn't pay too much attention.

He didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until last night when more and more people discovered that Deep Memory also has a strong smart portrait beauty function and started to disfavor Meixiu.

Especially after downloading and trying it myself, I was even more shocked.

I didn't expect that the algorithm model involved in the software was so much better than Meixiu.

Two portrait photos taken separately after beautification are placed together, and it is clear which one is stronger and which one is weaker.

In this case he came up with an idea.

If the intelligent core algorithm model used by Deep Memory can be applied to Meixiu, the company will surely lead a new trend.

For this reason, he deliberately worked overtime and stayed up all night to collect and organize all the information related to deep remembrance into files, and sent them to Wu Rendi's office as soon as he entered the company this morning.

"You didn't sleep all night last night, did you?"

Upon hearing the sound, Wu Rendi first raised his head and glanced at Cheng Yuanzhi. After noticing the dark circles under his eyes that were close to being related to giant pandas, he reached out to take the document and joked with a smile: "To be so interested in you, it seems that the other party is indeed desirable. place."

As he spoke, he immediately began to examine it carefully.

Wu Rendi was able to single-handedly create Meixiu Technology and develop it to its current scale. Naturally, he would not dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates. Moreover, he also knew Cheng Yuanzhi's character well.

Since it has received such attention from Cheng Yuanzhi, it means that there must be some problems with this new software.

More than ten minutes later.

Wu Rendi slowly closed the document, his expression became a little serious.

However, he did not directly point out the situation in the document, but asked Cheng Yuanzhi: "What do you think of this deep memory?"

"Mr. Wu."

"After my test analysis."

"The intelligent core algorithm model used in this software can automatically adjust facial muscles and skin by analyzing the proportions and positions of the facial features and bones of the portrait."

"Compared with the beauty effect of our Meixiu, it is indeed more comfortable, natural and elegant."

After all, Cheng Yuanzhi was also an old man in the company. Even in front of Wu Rendi, he still had nothing to worry about and directly expressed his inner thoughts.

Upon hearing these words, Wu Rendi nodded frequently in agreement.

He just saw the deeply missed renderings from the document and the comments given by many users. It is indeed better than his own products in terms of intelligent algorithms.

It’s impossible not to admit this.

"How was the investigation of the company that developed this software?" Wu Rendi asked again.

"According to the information currently available, the development company I miss deeply is called Future Technology, and its registered place is in Binjiang City. However, this company is newly registered, and it is unclear whether there is any capital operation behind it."

Facing the new questions raised by his boss, Cheng Yuanzhi seemed to think of something again after answering truthfully, so he took over the conversation and added a few more words.

"Mr. Wu, I think the company should not miss this opportunity."

"Since the other party has chosen the payment model and has not established an ecosystem of its own products, it is probably a small company with low ambitions. We have a high degree of confidence that we can win this technology."

Seeing Cheng Yuanzhi's impatient look, Wu Rendi quickly waved his hands and said in a calm tone: "Your analysis makes some sense. It's just that the other party is currently in the stage of rising popularity. If you contact them now, you will definitely raise the price. I deeply miss you. The core intelligent algorithm model is indeed very high-quality, but as long as we choose the payment model, we cannot shake our market share."

"The focus of your work is still on the Meixiu camera phone for the time being. You can wait and see about this matter."

After hearing what Wu Rendi said, Cheng Yuanzhi felt as if he had been poured cold water on him in the middle of winter, and his original excitement calmed down instantly.

Although he wanted to contact Future Technology Company immediately, he had no choice but to implement his boss's decision.

"It's Mr. Wu, I understand."

After responding with a slightly lonely tone, he turned around and exited the office.

Wu Rendi is actually more interested in the technology used by Deep Memory, but as a businessman, his first consideration is how to maximize profits.

If he deeply misses adopting the free model, he will definitely send representatives to Binjiang City to discuss cooperation as soon as possible, but there is no need to rush now.

He believes that as time goes by and the popularity declines, the number of people who pay deeply for it will inevitably continue to decrease. At that time, it will be the time for their Meixiu Technology to come forward.

…

"Thank you all for your support of Deep Missing. In order to give back to the fans, we have selected one hundred lucky users in the comment area to receive permanent free accounts. Reply to this comment to participate in the draw."

Binjiang Engineering University.

A corner on the third floor of the campus library.

After Xu Lei logged into Beep using the official account he registered with Deepin, he posted this lottery information in the comment area of ​​the video.

It can be regarded as a welfare for the female UP named Cheese.

No matter how you say it, you just picked up a free business order from someone else, and you must express it in order to facilitate the next opportunity to cooperate.

However, the other party was very considerate and set this lottery comment to the top after changing hands, which attracted a lot of traffic to Xu Lei's official account.
