Chapter 335: Recommendations
It's April.
As the temperature rises, pedestrians on the streets begin to wear less heavy clothes. Beauty-loving women have stuffed thick coats into their wardrobes and put on cool clothes to welcome the arrival of spring in the temperature of more than ten degrees.
Haas's fiancΓ©e, Winnie, had arrived safely in Seoul under Philip's arrangement. Philip provided her with a quiet place to nurse the baby, and Li Mo contacted the best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Seoul for her, and Haas was so moved that he worked hard to complete the work.
Not counting the time to recruit technicians and set up a studio, the sample of the retouching software was taken out within a month.
At this time, Li Mo and Philip were in the studio, holding their mobile phones and trying them out. Not only them, but the entire studio staff.
Li Mo started to modify a still life photo with a filter named 'Picasso', and it took more than ten seconds to get the preview result fed back by the server.
Frowning, Li Mo continued to fiddle with his phone.
Haas said with gusto, "I've figured out how about the slogan, 'Everybody's an Artist?'" I will continue to improve the algorithm to make the AI learn a little faster, so that the finished photo can get closer and closer to the original. β
"No, it won't work."
Li Mo's decisive objection made Haas stunned, "Is there something wrong?" β
"It's the right thing to do to improve the algorithm to make the processing faster, but I don't agree with the idea of focusing more on artistry."
Li Mo put down the phone, and the others also stopped moving and listened carefully to the big boss's speech, "I listened to your creativity at the beginning, and you said that this is a very cool software." I agree with that. But cool doesn't mean that we have to limit the style of the software, we should pay more attention to how to expand the scope and personality of users. β
"The average person may have only heard of the names of these masters, but that doesn't mean they know what art is. If we stick to the artistic route, it is obvious that we are self-enclosed and exclude a lot of potential users, which is not advisable. β
"I tried the software, and these filters named after the artists did a great job, and the results made me amazing and cool. But that's not enough, cookie-cutter filters don't reflect the user's personality. I recommend introducing basic filters and then developing DIY functions, where users can freely combine different filters to develop their own style. Also, I don't need a tool-based software, I have to add social functions in the future, only sharing can attract more users to use our software... β
Li Mo's words made Haas, who was a little underestimated in his heart that he didn't understand technology, blush.
"Boss, I..."
Li Mo waved his hand and said indifferently, "No need to apologize, there is a specialization in the art industry." β
"Yes, boss." Haas took a deep breath and replied, "The idea of mixing filters is beautiful, but it's technically hard to solve. If it's too complicated, it's likely that the AI won't be able to recognize the artist's brushstrokes or the effect will be poor, and the processing time will be longer. With the current hardware of mobile phones, I'm afraid it can't be realized. β
"I have an idea!"
Raising his hand was Jeon Chang Wook, a student who graduated from Hongik University with a major in art.
There are not many rules in the small studio, and after getting Haas's nod, Jeon Chang Wook said, "Actually, we can not stick to the style of a certain art master, we can integrate the style of one or even several masters, and create another art style by ourselves, can't we also achieve the effect that the president wants?" As for the DIY function, we can add some other rendering tools, so that the user can modify the style photo after it is finished, so that there is no need to increase the pressure on the server. β
"It's a viable idea."
Haas punched his fist, "If that's the case, I'm confident that the processing speed of the photo will be under ten seconds." β
Haas, who incarnated as a workaholic, kicked Li Mo and Philip out and began to improve the second version of the software in full swing.
Li Mo also shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "This person, if you find a goal to move forward, the power that bursts out is not to be underestimated. β
Philip came back to his senses and smiled, "I'd rather he be busier at work than go back to his old life." To prevent Haas from repeating his mistakes, I also hired a private investigator to keep a close watch on him. As long as he wanted to get involved in gambling, I took Winnie to teach him a lesson. β
"Really? You were thinking about this just now? β
Philip was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I'm also thinking about the future of this software." As your investment advisor, it is necessary for me to guarantee the return on the employer's investment. β
The car driven by Li Zhengyu stopped in front of the two of them, and after getting into the car, Philip continued, "Boss, you proposed to add social functions is the finishing touch, if you really only follow Haas's idea, in the end this software can only become a tool-based software." Maybe it can be popular for a while, but this is not an original technology, and the same type of software will soon appear, and then it will be the time to compete for user stickiness, so social functions are a must. β
"And what are you worried about?"
Li Mo's rhetorical question made Philip a little speechless. yes, what are you worried about?
Li Mo chuckled, "You are worried that Haas Software will regret the failure and return to its original state, and you are also worried about how to face me after the investment failure as my investment adviser." It's a dilemma, it feels awkward, right? β
Philip shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, obviously being told by Li Mo.
"Then try to make us all successful, and the problem will be solved, won't it? I think when I first met you Philip, I didn't cower now! β
Philip Mo rubbed his chin, slightly embarrassed.
Li Mo also accepted it when he saw it, and it was rare to pretend to be forced once, to hit Philip's sense of superiority all along, and finally felt like a boss.
And Philip, who was preached by Li Mo, actually changed his lazy attitude next. In addition to taking care of the industry under Li Mo's name more attentively, he also focused on the Haas studio and provided a lot of opinions for the improvement of the software. With his business vision, it was enough to make the software appear in a near-perfect state from the start.
Finally, in mid-May, Haas Studio completed two versions of the Android platform and the iOS platform, and prepared Korean, Japanese, and English versions, which will be launched globally on June 1, International Children's Day, after half a month of server debugging.
And Li Mo finally met Kim Taeyeon at home who ended twenty concerts in Japan.
"Is the strength appropriate?"
"Hmm... Vigorously.... β
"Great!"
Li Mo rubbed his hands, and a pair of big hands pressed on the girl's thighs. It was so comfortable that Kim Taeyeon let out a seductive moan, and Li Mo, who hadn't had anything for more than a month, suddenly couldn't hold back.
