Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1131 Four cards and four waits?

As he spoke, Brussels took out a small compact camera from his bag and continued,
"To be honest, mobile phone photography has improved. They say they have 500-megapixel cameras, but the effect is still not as good as the 500-megapixel camera on this compact camera. I still have to bring a camera when I go out, but..."

He smiled bitterly and pointed to the backpack beside him, “As you can see, it’s very troublesome for me to go out, I have too many things to carry.

Including computers and other things, a bag weighs more than ten pounds. For example, when my buddy travels with a SLR camera, the bag weighs more than 20 pounds.

And, frankly speaking, the camera's performance at night is hardly satisfactory for people of our skin color."

Brussels sighed, his eyes falling on the camera in his hand.
“I hope one day I’ll be able to carry just one device for all my needs. But for now, I just have to accept reality.”

Qingyun secretly laughed when she heard what Brussels said.

This was like sending a pillow when one was sleepy. It didn't take all his preparations to finally bring out these words.

His purpose of coming to this stadium was to get to know these black kids in order to open the door to the African market.

Zhu Zhaojiang approaches the issue from a market perspective, and his breakthrough is ToC business that directly faces end consumers.

The purpose of Qingyun's doing this is to explore the possibilities of ToG for the government and ToB for enterprises through relationship marketing.

Fudan University has been admitting African students since the 20s. It is the earliest institution in China to admit foreign students and is also the top university in China with the largest number of African students.

If we don't make use of this resource, it would be a shame for Qin Manyan's decision to change her major for love.

He waved to the sidelines, and it was Su Daji who appeared out of nowhere.

She walked over gracefully, holding Qingyun's bag in her hand.

Brussels saw this and immediately stood up straight and called out respectfully, "Hello, Teacher Su."

Qingyun took out a mobile phone from her bag, handed it to Brussels, and said, "Try this phone."

Brussels took the phone with curiosity and weighed it in his hand.

The weight of the phone is very heavy, and the appearance...

Very rough!

The bar phone is square like a brick.

It has a bit of the style of No Chicken and Duck.

only……

Deep down, Brussels is actually a little disappointed.

He was not insane. He knew very well that this phone must be a new phone that the Yanhuang Group had not yet released.

Although the weight suits his preference and it is not too light to lack texture, but...

Isn’t Yanhuang Group a synonym for design?

He couldn't see any design language on this phone at all, and it felt more like something from the Russians.

You can tell at first glance that it is sturdy and durable.

After a few seconds of silence, he smiled against his will, "I have to say, it feels great to hold! Very textured!"

Teacher Xiao Su wanted to laugh when listening to this.

What I mean is that this phone is ugly.

Emperor Yun smiled and asked him to turn on the computer and try.

Brussels pressed the power button and the screen lit up two seconds later.

Then there are a few big words: The boot interface is customizable.

Brussels almost burst out laughing when he saw this.

Qing Yun shrugged his shoulders. "This is an engineering prototype for operators or partners."

Brussels nodded in understanding, and the first thing he tested was the music playback function.

He picked out a few songs he often listened to from his mobile phone and copied them to the phone Qingyun handed him via Bluetooth.

However, during the transmission process, he looked at the infrared module on the mobile phone and was very confused.

Infrared technology was once widely used in data transmission in mobile phones. For example, mobile phones such as Nokia's 8250 can use the infrared function to play online games or transmit ringtones and pictures.

However, this is terribly slow and totally inferior to Bluetooth.

Since this phone is already equipped with Bluetooth version 1.2, why install a module that is destined to be obsolete?
What a waste of money.

Brussels was still a little disappointed at the moment. It seemed that Yanhuang Group's mobile phone research and development still had a long way to go.

After the file transfer was completed, he put on the headphones Qingyun handed him and closed his eyes.

But after about ten seconds, he was immersed in the world of music.

After listening to a few songs, he couldn't help but nodded.

I have to say, this phone is not completely useless.

The sound quality is clear and full, the low frequency is powerful, the high frequency is not harsh, and the overall performance is unexpectedly good.

To be honest, this surprised him a little.

There are two ways to achieve sound quality. One is to improve the performance of hardware, that is, the audio processing chip, and the other is to use software, that is, software tuning.

As for the sound quality of this phone, it has to be said that under its rugged appearance, it has a powerful core and powerful software tuning capabilities.

Taking off his headphones, Brussels tried the amplifier again.

He turned the volume up to maximum and when he pressed the play button, the sound from the phone's speaker instantly filled the entire stadium, the volume so loud that even he was startled.

Qing Yun blinked and looked at Brussels' surprised expression, feeling secretly proud in her heart.

Ha ha!

Have you ever seen a mobile phone with a circle of speakers inside?

He patted Brussels on the shoulder and said, "How about it, is the volume shocking enough?"

Brussels nodded and praised, "The volume is really loud, more than twice as loud as my current cell phone."

His eyes revealed his interest in the phone, and it was obvious that he was deeply impressed by the phone's music playback function.

The extraordinary music from the mobile phone covered the entire stadium and quickly attracted the attention of people around, and many people gathered around.

Seeing this, Qingyun quickly turned off the music and looked at Brussels, "Understand, this phone hasn't been released yet, why don't you go to my dormitory?"

Brussels nodded quickly. His interest in this phone had been completely aroused.

Along the way, he was itching and walked quickly.

It has to be said that the music function of this phone gave him a pleasant surprise.

As an African who is good at singing and dancing, he has very high requirements for the music system of his mobile phone, and this phone from Yanhuang Group completely impressed him in this regard.

Moreover, during his previous play, he also found that the system of this phone was very smooth, and there was no sense of frustration like Symbian or JAVA when calling functions.

He couldn't wait to explore the other features of this phone.

When they arrived at the dormitory, Qingyun asked Brussels to try the camera function.

Brussels tried it out a bit, first taking a few photos indoors in a well-lit environment, then going out to the balcony and taking a few photos of the scenery outside.

His expression gradually changed from initial anticipation to some disappointment.

"Boss Qing, this photo effect seems..."

Brussels hesitated for a moment before saying politely, "It may be because the camera's pixels are too low."

As someone who carries several mobile phones at the same time, Brussels knows a lot about mobile phones. He saw at a glance that the camera has a maximum of 100 million pixels.

At this time, even the newly released mid-range mobile phones have camera pixels reaching 200 million.

To be honest, he was a little disappointed with this phone. It’s not that the phone was bad, but he felt that it was a bit disappointing to the brand tone of Yanhuang Group.

Judging from Yanhuang Group’s previous business operations, its products have always won market recognition with their unique design language, outstanding performance and exquisite craftsmanship.

Yanhuang Group’s mobile phones are naturally high-end.

But this phone...

To be honest, he only saw the exquisite craftsmanship, design, performance...

At least the pile should be full!

Qing Yun saw Brussels' disappointment, but he did not rush to explain. Instead, he asked Cheng Bing to turn off the lights in the room, and then instructed Guo Ke to draw the curtains of the windows.

Seeing that the light in the room was still quite strong, he asked Guo Ke and Kong Ziqian to pull up the quilts to block out the light.

At this moment, the room suddenly became dark, with only a faint light coming from the crack of the door.

Qingyun asked Brussels to take a selfie, and Brussels did so doubtfully, but he was not really looking forward to it.

To be honest, a 100-megapixel camera was not considered low last year, but this year it is a bit lacking compared with other new mid-to-high-end phones.

He thinks that cameras below 200 million pixels are just toys, and he doesn't think such cameras can take any good photos.

But the picture on the phone screen surprised Brussels. He widened his eyes and scanned the phone and Qingyun's face.

Qing Yun took the phone with a smile and asked someone to import the photos into the computer.

Cheng Bing followed his instructions with great tact.

For a long while, Brussels stared at the movies on the screen, his mouth opened wide enough for a fist to fit in.

It has to be said that the clarity of the 100-megapixel camera unsurprisingly limits the clarity of the final photo. The entire photo is very grainy when viewed on the computer screen.

However, for the first time in his life, he saw his own face in a photo at night!

Although the details are not clear enough, at least his facial contours and expressions are clearly visible!

This is an experience that has never been experienced on previous mobile phones!

"This...how is this possible?" Brussels looked at Qing Yun in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

At this time, Su Daji was standing behind Qingyun, smiling calmly.

As the chief scientist of the Yanhuang Group Software Research Institute, she has invested a lot of energy in the MTK middleware system of this mobile phone.

At the same time, he led the entire algorithm team to optimize the camera function of the mobile phone.

Pixels only affect part of the picture, and of course the higher the pixels, the better.

However, we also need to consider the camera module’s algorithm, processor, software optimization factors, and differences in mobile phone camera sensors.

In other aspects, she and Qin Manyan, with their cooperation, have reached the limit of current technical conditions.

It can be said that what currently restricts the product's photo-taking quality is the 100-megapixel camera on the phone, rather than its algorithm.

As for why a 100-megapixel camera is used instead of a 200-megapixel one, Yundi said that this phone is a high-volume model for Africa and cost factors must be taken into consideration.

It’s too expensive, those black kids can’t afford it.

There are only a few people like Brussels in a country. They are simply an invalid customer group.

What's more, even a 100-megapixel camera will only be installed on the higher version of this phone.

In the lower version, he won’t be able to use the camera at all.

For most Africans, mobile phone photography is not a necessity at this time.

"Mr. Xiaoqing, this camera function is amazing!"

Brussels' voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "It's incredible that such clear photos can be taken under such lighting conditions!"

Qing Yun smiled slightly and explained: "Although the camera of this phone is only 100 million pixels.

However, we have made special optimizations to the photo-taking algorithm, especially in nighttime environments, to maximize the brightness and clarity of photos and restore the skin tone of portraits.”

After hearing this, Brussels couldn't help but give Qingyun a thumbs up.

He now finally understood why Qing Yun was so confident in letting him experience this phone.

This is like it was tailor-made for black kids like them!

This phone looks ordinary in appearance and its hardware is not very good, but its software optimization makes it perform well in specific scenarios.

"Mr. Xiaoqing, how did you do it?" Brussels asked curiously.

Qingyun turned around and looked at Su Caiwei, her eyes full of smiles, "Caiwei, come and explain our optimization technology to Brussels."

Brussels is no surprise.

He knew that Teacher Xiao Su was not only Xiao Qing's official girlfriend and a young teacher at Fudan University, but also the chief scientist of the Yanhuang Group Software Research Institute.

Moreover, he was well-informed and knew that Su Caiwei was also the dean of the Hardware Research Institute. She and the Qin family's little princess Qin Manyan, one a soft and one a hard leader, were in charge of the Yanhuang Group's applied research team.

Su Daji nodded dignifiedly at this time, walked forward, and spoke gently,

“We have a strong R&D team that specializes in algorithm optimization for various scenarios, and our optimization technology is mainly based on Bayesian statistical theory.

By learning from a large number of samples, the algorithm can automatically identify and optimize the photo effects in different scenarios.

Especially at night or in low-light environments, our algorithm can significantly improve the brightness and clarity of photos.”

Brussels was stunned. He didn't expect that there was such profound technological accumulation behind this mobile phone.

"Teacher Xiao Su, your technology is really amazing. I believe this phone will be very popular in Africa."

Brussels exclaimed sincerely.

He couldn't help but have a deep respect for Yanhuang Group's R&D capabilities and Su Caiwei's leadership ability.

Brussels nodded, and he had a new understanding of the research and development capabilities of Yanhuang Group.

He knows that a good algorithm is sometimes more important than hardware improvements.

He is not praising Yanhuang Xiaoqing, but this camera solution really solves the pain points of Africans in taking photos.

Moreover, judging from this mobile phone, this pain point should not be a technical problem, but a problem with the brand’s attitude towards consumers.

No matter how powerful the scientific research team of Yanhuang Group is, it can never be stronger than the teams of Nokia, Morgan Stanley, and Sansang.

This is an objective condition. The Yanhuang Group, which has only been established for less than a year, cannot have any world-leading technological level.

But others have simply solved the pain points of the African people.

All I can say is that Yanhuang Group specifically targets the characteristics of African customers and puts a lot of effort into product research and development.

Based on this point alone, he is confident that Yanhuang Group's mobile phones will gain a large number of fans in Africa.

Brussels felt that the mobile phone in his hand was no longer a simple communication tool, but a key to a new world.

It turns out that our needs can be seen by others.

His eyes were filled with admiration for the camera function of this mobile phone and respect for the Yanhuang Group.

"Yanhuang Group... Mr. Xiaoqing, I believe you will succeed in Africa."

He couldn't help but imagine how big a splash this phone would make in the African market if it could be mass-produced.

Brussels' words gave Qingyun an indescribable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

This is not only an affirmation of his skills, but also the best reward for his design and the hard work of Su Caiwei and Qin Manyan for countless days and nights.

He knew that the camera function of this phone would be the key to opening up the African market.

However, photography and music functions are not the focus of this phone.

In other words, this is not the fundamental foundation and anchor point for Yanhuang Group's mobile phones in the African application environment.

It is also not the selling point of his products that go the ToG and ToB routes.

These selling points are the business of consumer business.

He cleared his throat and said, "Brussels, the camera function of this phone is just the tip of the iceberg. Next, I will show you more."

Qingyun signaled Brussels to turn off his phone and open the back cover.

Although Brussels was curious about Qingyun's words, he couldn't wait to follow Qingyun's instructions.

He had a guess in his mind that this Qingyun phone must be using a dual-SIM dual-standby module.

After all, in their previous conversation, Qingyun was very clear about his demands.

But when he opened the back cover of the phone, took out the battery and looked at the back panel inside, he was shocked again.

His eyes flickered back and forth between the phone and Qing Yun, and he was so surprised that he was speechless.

Cheng Bing and others nearby were also stunned.

"One, two, three, four! Four card slots?! Four cards can be used at the same time?"

It was not Brussels who spoke, but Confucius Qian.

Kong Xiaopang asked in shock.

Qing Yun gave him an extremely affirmative answer, "Nonsense! If they can't be used at the same time, why did I design four card slots?"

Kong Xiaopang wanted to complain about what a crazy design this was, but when he saw Brussels excitedly removing the SIM cards from his four mobile phones and installing them on the new ones, he shut up.

While Brussels was inserting the SIM card, he kept calling out: Mr. Xiaoqing!
My God!

Amazing!

Incredible!

Unbelievable!

Chairman Mao!

The words "Chairman Mao!" shocked Cheng Bing and the others, but also made them more aware of Brussels' excitement at the moment.

They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, this design... is it really that good?
Could it be that this Heiwa is still a scumbag?

Most people don’t need four cards and four standbys!
