================================
"Mr. Chen, we're in a little trouble." Not long after Gangdu Company, Jin Wei and Zhang Mingshan knocked on Chen Wenhao's office door together.
Both appointments have been issued. As the deputy general manager of Kamodo Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., Jin Wei's work content is not only in charge of the operation and promotion of small card translation software, but also the main energy spent on the preparation of personnel for the new company. Chen Wenhao has not had much time to join the company recently, but as long as he enters the company, he can always be seen interviewing candidates in the conference room.
Zhang Mingshan was promoted to the manager of the marketing department of the new company because of his excellent work, and he is currently responsible for the specific promotion of the mobile version of the small card translation software.
Kamodo will also be working in this small building in the future, and half of the fifth floor has been reserved. With an employee of 50 people and nearly 1,500 square meters of office space, it is a luxury for most companies.
However, Chen Wenhao is willing to create the most comfortable office environment within his ability, after all, for office workers, in addition to sleep, most of the remaining time in the day has to be spent in the office. When he was still working for people, he was very unaccustomed to some companies arranging desks densely and compactly in order to save space, so that the people working in them looked like numb worker ants. At that time, he could not do anything, but now he can do something.
After this period of recruitment, the staff of Kamodo has expanded to more than 30 people. Because the other floors are still being renovated, they are temporarily working on the sixth floor with the people of the parent company, Infinite Future. The space is sufficient, but the desks and chairs are in short supply, and the customized office furniture will not enter until the decoration is completed, so the bar counter and chess tables in the recent leisure area are all occupied by employees holding laptops.
Chen Wenhao stretched out his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down on the sofa, "What's the trouble?" ”
"The mobile phone side of Xiaoka Translator is doing the final test, and the version we submitted to the Apple App Store for review has been called back, saying that it involves core program modifications." Zhang Mingshan first reported the situation.
"We have already complained to the Apple App Store, but the other party has a very tough attitude and will not give us permission unless the hardware acceleration module is removed."
Zhang Mingshan was a little angry, "Our program is in the form of a sandbox, which improves the performance and stability of the mobile phone, and does not tamper with and control the core of the system at all, so it doesn't make sense to explain it to them." We also contacted Apple China, and they said that they would respond to the headquarters, and then there was no response. Yesterday we contacted Apple's U.S. headquarters directly, but the person who answered the phone said that according to the procedure, let's go to the Chinese branch. ”
The hardware acceleration module is a new module on the mobile phone side of the small card translation software. Compared to the desktop side, the mobile side has a very useful new feature: face-to-face instant translation.
As long as the user opens the mobile phone of the small card software and clicks the turn on button of this function, the software will automatically call the mobile phone camera and microphone. The user only needs to click on the screen captured by the camera, click on the person you want to talk to, and the microphone will collect the voice of the object and translate it in real time with the set text on the phone screen. The camera only needs to shoot for about 5 seconds, and then turns off when the subject is identified.
This function is actually a variant of the video and voice translation function in the computer side of the small card software. After the small card added this function, Chen Wenhao liked it very much, which is simply an artifact-like existence for users who want to go abroad. Don't know a foreign language and don't dare to travel freely? As long as the phone is equipped with a small card, everything is not a problem. According to the market research conducted by the marketing department in the early stage, among the reasons why the mobile phone of the small card software is online, the number of people who check "travel abroad" even exceeds the number of "convenient to browse overseas information".
In the company's internal testing, this new feature is also the most responsive, and it is considered by everyone to be a powerful tool that will inevitably further promote the paying users of small card software.
However, because this function has a little requirement for the stability of the mobile phone hardware, considering the uneven performance of the user's mobile phone, a hardware acceleration background module has also been added to the mobile phone terminal of the small card. Through this module, the hardware performance of the mobile phone will be mined, accelerated and the system will be kept stable.
According to Xiaoka, the acceleration module does not improve the performance too much, but is based on the requirements of the mobile terminal of the stable operation of the translation software, the worse the performance of the mobile phone, the more obvious the feeling after using this module. According to it, according to the different hardware performance of the mobile phone, the response speed of the mobile phone hardware can be improved between 5% and 20%.
In addition, there is a hidden benefit, which can reduce the heat generation of hardware such as chips and batteries by more than 15%. Regarding this point, Chen Wenhao does not plan to write it in the documentation of the software, so let users feel it slowly in use.
That is to say, if this acceleration module is independent and the small card can be improved, it is another excellent business opportunity. People who use mobile phones for a long time every day should have encountered the phenomenon that the back shell of the mobile phone is hot to the point, especially when using mobile phones to play games and other large software, it is particularly obvious. The mobile phone has become a hand warmer, who can stand this, not to mention that it is still a safety hazard.
Isn't Samsung anxious about it recently? The latest mobile phone they promoted globally, not long after the public sale, there were several incidents of battery overheating and explosion, and then they were busy recycling the problematic mobile phone, replacing the battery supplier, upgrading the relevant software, not to mention, and more importantly, being slapped in the face in the face of users around the world, and the brand value was also greatly affected.
At this time, if there is a software that can really cool down the hardware of the mobile phone, I am afraid that the lion will open his mouth, and Samsung will have to grit his teeth and buy it.
Another example: Q Company, the leader in the mobile chip industry, previously released a top-level chip, and the performance parameters are outstanding. Although Q company is still adamant that there is no problem with the chip, if there is such a cooling software in front of you, do you say you want to buy it? Or buy it? Or buy it!
There are also some software on the market that claims to be able to cool down mobile phones, and the principle is achieved by reducing hardware performance and controlling power consumption. Compared with the module provided by the small card that improves the performance of the mobile phone and reduces the heat generation, it is not a level at all. But this is also a matter of course, after all, people belong to alien black technology.
Although the market prospect is broad, Chen Wenhao does not plan to release it after optimizing it independently. In this way, in addition to making more money, it will not help him and Xiaoka's goals much, and his operation funds are still relatively abundant.
Therefore, he hopes to provide more cost-effective services for the users of the small card translation software, after all, it is these users who helped him harvest the first pot of gold, and he is grateful for this.
From Zhang Mingshan and Jin Wei's accounts, after learning about the troubles encountered, Chen Wenhao first comforted them and asked them to make other preparations first. He's going to try his hand at communicating with Apple.
Chen Wenhao estimated that through Facebook or two other American venture capitalists, he should be able to connect with Apple's executives. Or find Xiaozha to build a bridge, I have the impression that the relationship between Facebook and Apple is not bad, there has always been an application entrance to integrate Facebook in the IOS system, and the boss of the two companies has visited China together.
Besides, Xiaozha's Facebook company is now also one of the shareholders of Kamodo, so it is naturally obligated to help the product launch.
