Chapter 39 Visit the 2012 Lab

Unfortunately, Dean Sha Zhan went out to give a lecture, so Gu Pengdong led Luo Jia to the 2012 laboratory.

The 2012 laboratory is the largest R&D base of Huawei in addition to the Academia Sinica, with world-class equipment and personnel strength.

When I entered the laboratory, I could immediately feel the tense and depressing atmosphere, everyone seemed to have a solemn expression, and even the beauty who received the beauty at the front desk only smiled at Luo Jia and Gu Pengdong in a ritualistic manner, and then put away the smile again.

"Dean Gong was discussing countermeasures with the technical team sent by the supplier, so he couldn't come to greet him in person, so he asked me to take the two of them to the test center to find him." Reception cutie said.

Gu Pengdong shrugged his shoulders and whispered to Luo Jia, "The mountain rain is coming, not only is Huawei nervous, but other manufacturers have been testing various types of cameras like crazy recently, hoping to find a replacement for Sony." ”

"Is there a result?" Luo Jia asked.

Gu Pengdong shook his head, "It's difficult, Sony specializes in supplying mid-to-high-end products, although there is no shortage of powerful manufacturers in China, Shunyu, O-film, are also full of energy, but technology is the most afraid of comparison." ”

"If Huawei's mobile phone is equipped with a domestic lens and compares it with the Sony lens used by Samsung, the result can be imagined."

"And if you are a user of the Mate series of mobile phones, and suddenly one day, you find that the quality of the camera and the imaging standard have been reduced, what will you think?"

"Customers can only accept better and better products, will not accept the decline in quality, and for major manufacturers, high-end products are the most profitable, low-end machines priced at hundreds of yuan, many are for market share, lose money in doing."

"Once the mid-to-high-end mobile phones are suppressed, the Big Four will immediately fall into a situation of huge losses across the board, which is not an ordinary war, but a battle of life and death."

Luo Jia understands the current predicament of the Big Four, there are domestic substitutes, and the key is that they cannot reach the top level.

The flagship model is like the faΓ§ade of a company, if any company even makes the flagship so-so, it will greatly affect the company's image in the world, put it on human beings, which is called the collapse of the human design, and the chain reaction is very terrible.

The test center is several thousand square meters, which is full of large and small machines, countless optical, electrical, and acoustic professional equipment imported from all over the world, which looks very modern.

Gong Xiangdong is surrounded by dozens of engineers from all over the country, Huawei now lacks flagship cameras, and major suppliers are flocking to Huawei like chicken blood, all hoping to supply Huawei.

However, the truth is cruel, at present, there is no domestic supplier that can reach Sony's level, even if it reaches 90% of Sony's performance, Huawei is not unacceptable, the key is that it is too far behind.

Gong Xiangdong waved to Gu Pengdong very enthusiastically, motioned for him and Luo Jia to wait, and then continued to discuss fiercely with the engineers sent by the supplier how to improve the product.

Luo Jia had nothing to do, so she turned on her mobile phone to surf the Internet and check the news of the last few days.

Samsung's acquisition of Sony's camera division caused a global sensation, but it was East Asia that had the biggest impact.

Neon netizens scolded the most fiercely, saying that Sony is a traitorous enterprise, for the sake of immediate interests, regardless of the national righteousness, even sold the camera department to Samsung, all executives should go to the rooftop to commit suicide, to apologize to the Yamato nation.

Luo Jia couldn't help but wonder, sure enough, the friendship between China and Japan depends on South Korea, and the friendship between China and South Korea depends on neon, and the three East Asian countries are all yellow people and have similar cultures, but they can't urinate in the same pot.

The deal between Sony and Samsung is certainly not simple, and in the business world, secret deals are not written in formal contracts, but are quietly operated through its subsidiaries.

Luo Jia guessed that in addition to the deal on the surface, Samsung must have given other benefits behind the scenes, otherwise Sony would not sell the camera division so happily, the camera is a big piece of fat, and I want the giant companies to give up the fat, unless they are given a bigger piece.

Chinese netizens are pessimistic, generally believing that this war is likely to be lost, and the Big Four have been in a slump since then, and the market share that they have finally won down will be given up again.

Keyboard warriors scolded in various forums that such a big country can't even build a camera, but if you take a closer look at the mobile phone models they use, most of them are Macs, which is really ironic.

When I opened the major forums and websites in South Korea, it was a joyful atmosphere.

Korean netizens can't wait, began to celebrate in advance Samsung's return to the top of the sales championship, they believe that this acquisition not only hit the Chinese opponent, but also a heavy blow to the neon country, in the future in the field of mobile phones, the four giants of China want to survive, they can only kneel and lick my big Korea.

The remarks are still quite annoying, and the arrogance in the bones of Koreans must be undoubted, and many words such as kneeling and licking, begging, and serving are faithfully presented in front of Luo Jia's eyes by the translation software, which makes him feel slightly unhappy.

At this time, Gong Xiangdong's voice suddenly became louder, and Luo Jia and Gu Pengdong also went over to watch curiously.

It turned out that a product brought by a camera supplier had serious technical defects during testing, which caused Gong Xiangdong to be very unhappy and complained about why he didn't send the product after testing it in advance.

And the engineer with glasses looked innocent, obviously doing what Huawei asked, why did he not work at all as soon as he got on the test bench? When I go back, I will definitely be scolded by the manager.

"It could be that the light sensitivity is too low." Luo Jia muttered to herself.

Although his voice was not loud, it was heard by several engineers around him, and they looked at Luo Jia with a strange look.

After all, in this group of people, Luo Jia is too young, and such a comment is almost the same from Gu Pengdong's mouth.

The engineer with glasses was already in a bad mood, but when Luo Jia suddenly interjected for no reason, he was in a bad mood.

But he also knew that Luo Jia and Gu Pengdong were afraid that Dean Gong knew each other, and they had greeted each other from a distance before.

"This little brother, why do you judge that the light sensitivity is too low?" The bespectacled engineer asked curiously.

Luo Jia shrugged, "The reason why CMOS sensors can eliminate CCD sensors is because of good high light sensitivity, while CMOS sensors are always not good in low light sensitivity. ”

"If my guess is correct, you should have tested it during the day, right?"

The bespectacled engineer nodded repeatedly, "How do you know?" We just passed the test in the factory this afternoon, and we sent it to Huawei overnight for testing. ”

"That's right, the signal acquisition rate is too low, during the daytime test, there is no problem with imaging, but now it is night, and there is no natural light, which will magnify the weakness of low acquisition rate several times." Luo Jia said.

The bespectacled engineer suddenly realized and patted his head hard, "So, we just need to go back and get a new set of filters, and the problem can be solved?" ”

However, Luo Jia's answer made him very disappointed, "I'm afraid it still can't be solved, with a new filter, the problem of overexposure in the highlight scene will appear again, and the real problem is that the quality of the sensor does not meet the requirements, and it is the problem of the acquisition rate." ”

"In addition, your algorithm also has problems, unless you use pixel synthesis technology, four or even six pixels are combined into one pixel to enhance the color accuracy, but in that case, the resolution cannot go up, and it still does not meet the requirements."

"I see, this product needs to be redesigned."

Luo Jia has always been very serious about everything, and since people asked, he answered seriously.

When he finished answering, he realized that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, and his eyes seemed to be shocked.

"How old is he, he really understands!?"

"yes, I thought it was just a student who came to study."

"Acquaintance? Which senior engineer? ”

"I haven't seen it, as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be such a young senior engineer in the circle."

They talked a lot, mainly because Luo Jia was too young, not yet nineteen years old.

Engaging in optics is not like computers, the computer department is all played by young people, and the circle of optics requires at least ten years of work experience.

A senior engineer in his thirties, even if he is very young in the circle, if Luo Jia is a senior engineer in an optical factory at this age, he is definitely too young.

Even Dean Gu, who came with Luo Jia, opened his mouth wide at the moment, he always thought that Luo Jia and himself were peers, studying computer science, how could he still understand optics?

Gong Xiangdong was stunned, he looked at Luo Jia, and then at Dean Gu beside Luo Jia, and suddenly realized that he might have missed something.

Sha Zhan boasted to Gong Xiangdong more than once, saying that the mobile phone assistant was made by a young junior, named Luo Jia, and his talent is rare in the world.

Dean Sha has always had this temper, but whoever he admires, he can't boast about it, coupled with the powerful magic-like performance of the mobile phone assistant, Gong Xiangdong has a deep impression.

It's a pity that Luo Jia is relatively low-key, although he has made a lot of money from the Big Four, he has never visited in person, and Gong Xiangdong does not know Luo Jia.

Gong Xiangdong thought to himself, "This young man came with Gu Pengdong, and Gu Pengdong is Sha Zhan's best friend. ”

"Young, gifted..."

"Could it be..."
