The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

So how much does a $25 facial recognition chip cost?

The silicon crystal area of ​​the facial recognition chip is very small, and the cost of a chip is less than 5 yuan. The reason why the price is set so high is to bully them into not having this technology. If there are many manufacturers with this technology, Then the price of a chip will never exceed 10 yuan.

Wu Manjiang immediately ran to Jin Rongxia's office after asking about the price.

"President." Wu Manjiang bowed 45 degrees.

"What's going on?" Jin Rongxia asked.

"I have asked clearly about face recognition technology. Deep Blue does not intend to license related technologies to external parties. They only sell face recognition chips to external parties. A single chip costs US$25." Wu Manjiang said after sitting down.

"Asiba, how much does one cost?" Jin Rongxia asked, looking at Wu Manjiang with wide eyes.

"25 dollars a piece." Wu Manjiang said

"Are they crazy about money?" Jin Rongxia said with a look of disbelief.

"I'm not very clear about this, and they don't even negotiate the price," Wu Manjiang said.

"Okay, I will report this matter to the headquarters. You can go about your business first." Jin Rongxia said

Wanwan HTC Headquarters

At first, Wang Xuehong was not optimistic about DeepBlue Phone. As DeepBlue Phone cooperated with three companies, DeepBlue Phone news appeared in the US media. At this moment, Wang Xuehong realized that DeepBlue Phone was a very powerful enemy.

Wang Xuehong fell into silence looking at the HTC G10 in her hand. This phone is their latest phone. It is scheduled to be launched in September. They price this phone at 9 soft sister coins, and the price in Europe and the United States is 2999 US dollars. .

You must know that the cost of their mobile phone is not low, the manufacturing cost is as high as more than 1780 RMB.

The retail price of the Deep Blue mobile phone is only 2699 yuan. If they continue to order it for 2999 yuan, they know that they will not be able to sell it. If the price is too low, they will not make much money.

Wang Xuehong was suddenly in a dilemma.

"Dong~dong~dong"

After hearing the knock on the door, Wang Xuehong put down her cell phone and shouted to come in.

At this time, a man wearing gold glasses and a suit opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Wang, what do you want from me?" Ou Haiyong asked after sitting down.

"Do you know the brand Deep Blue Mobile Phone?" Wang Xuehong asked.

"I know." Ou Haiyong replied.

"What do you think of Deep Blue Mobile Phone?" Wang Xuehong asked.

"Deep Blue is just an emerging brand. They are just newcomers to the mobile phone industry. I don't think we need to pay attention." Ou Haiyong said.

"Go back and learn more about Deep Blue Mobile Phone, and come up with a response policy for me tomorrow." Wang Xuehong said.

At this moment, Wang Xuehong didn't want to continue communicating with him. Obviously Ou Haiyong had heard of Deep Blue Phone, but he didn't understand Deep Blue Phone at all, and he didn't realize how scary Deep Blue Phone was.

Although Deep Blue Mobile is just an emerging brand, Deep Blue has strong R&D capabilities.

Although HTC has been deeply involved in the smartphone industry for many years, HTC's strength is several levels behind Deep Blue.

If Ou Haiyong has not realized the horror of Deep Blue, then he can submit a resignation letter to the personnel department.

On the evening of July 2010, 7, United States time.

Inside an apartment building in Cupertino, California.

Arpad Tara and girlfriend Raya Gattuso cuddled up on the couch watching The Oprah Show.

The Oprah Talk Show can be said to be the most popular talk show in the United States. At the beginning of the talk show, Oprah walked to the stage with a smile on her face.

"Yesterday when I was preparing for the show, I saw a news in the Washington Daily. The news said that there is a manufacturer in China who has produced a smartphone that surpasses the fruit-based iPhone.

When I saw this news, I was completely shocked. I wondered if the reporter who wrote this article was an intern.

As far as I know, China is a backward country that imports everything from the United States. You actually said that they have created a mobile phone that surpasses the iPhone. If Steve Jobs heard about this, he would probably be scared of pancreatic cancer. died. ” laughed Oprah.

Oprah's words also caused laughter from the audience.

However, Arpad Tara, who was watching the live broadcast, felt that Oprah was really an ignorant woman.

"Oprah is so ignorant," Arpad Tara complained.

"Honey, why do you say that? Oprah is right." Raya Gattuso looked at Arpad Tara and asked.

"Dark Blue mobile phone is indeed more powerful than iPhone 4 in terms of performance, and the function of Deep Blue mobile phone is also more powerful than iPhone 4." Upad Tara said.

The reason why Upad Tara dared to say this is because he is a mobile phone R&D engineer for a fruit company. During this time, they have been studying Deep Blue mobile phones to develop a mobile phone that can cope with Deep Blue.

If they can't come up with a solution that can deal with Deep Blue mobile phones.

Then it is very likely that Fruit will need to purchase technology from Deep Blue Mobile to use on the next generation iPhone.

"Honey, is the dark blue phone really that powerful?" Laya Gattuso asked curiously.

"Although I hate to admit that we have been surpassed by that backward country, they are indeed an era ahead of us in technology." Upad Tara said.

Arpad Tara switched to another channel as he said that he did not intend to continue watching the Oprah Talk Show.

“I will run I will climb I will soar

I'm undefeated

Jumping out of my skin pull the chord

Yeah I believe it”

When he switched to another channel, the TV happened to be playing an advertisement for Deep Blue Mobile.

The advertisement is edited from the MV of Dream It Possible. The advertisement plays until the last dark blue mobile phone appears on the screen, and then the advertisement for the dark blue mobile phone sounds next to it.

[Dark Blue Mobile Phone eliminates the distance between you and your family. 】

"Honey, I miss my father a little bit." Raya Gattuso said after watching the advertisement and resting her head on Arpad Tara's shoulder.

at the same time.

The MV Dream It Possible also spread on the American Internet under the operation of Omnikon.

YouTube and Naifei even put this MV on the top of the homepage of the music section.

"Although the MV contains all Chinese people, after watching this MV, I suddenly missed my grandfather."

"The lyrics of this song are as inspiring and touching as the MV. This is one of the best songs I have heard this year."

“Has anyone noticed that the person singing this song looks familiar?”

"The person who sings this song is the singer who sang see you again."

"This singer is the second Chinese singer I like. The first singer is Li from Do You Want My Love." "The Heartbeat Song nana released before is also very good."

"Because Nan is still a student, she releases fewer songs. Nana is the most beautiful Chinese singer I have ever seen."

"Has anyone noticed that the mobile phone in the MV seems familiar?"

"The mobile phone in the MV is Deep Blue's mobile phone. This song is Deep Blue's consumer theme song. Haven't you read the newspaper recently?"

"Suddenly I thought that purple and gold phone looked pretty good."

"The problem is that the price of the Deep Blue phone is too high. The iPhone 4 only costs $599, but the Deep Blue phone costs $699."

“The reason why Deep Blue phones are more expensive than iPhone 4 is because Deep Blue phones are highly secure. They not only support face recognition, but also do not allow hackers to use tools to flash the phone without face recognition. iPhone 4 has no security at all. There’s nothing to say.”

"The security of iPhone 4 is a big problem. As long as a thief connects it to a computer and then uses jailbreak software to jailbreak it, the other party can obtain your and your friends' information."

“The screen of the Deep Blue mobile phone is really too big, and it doesn’t feel very convenient to carry around.”

"I think a bigger screen is better. You can see more things on a bigger screen. The screen of iPhone 4 is really too small."

Thanks to the efforts of all parties, Gulina, Dream It Possible and Deep Blue Mobile have become hot topics among young people.

On the morning of July 2010, 7, United States time.

Office of the President, Apple Headquarters, Cupertino, California.

In the office, Mr. Qiao is talking on the phone with Lu Lei, Vice President of Asia Region of Fruit Computer Company.

"Lu, you mean they don't license the technology, they only sell facial recognition chips, and they cost $25 each?" Mr. Qiao raised his voice and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, boss." Luray said.

"Are they crazy about money?" Master Qiao yelled angrily.

This is not the first time he was robbed by Deep Blue. The first time he was robbed by Deep Blue was Starlink and Diting. The second time he was robbed by Deep Blue was HEVC technology. Now Deep Blue wants to use facial recognition to rob him again.

When Mr. Qiao heard that a chip was priced at 25 US dollars, he immediately became angry.

You must know that the cost of their A4 chip is only 16 US dollars, and the A4 chip is still the core of iPhone 4. Now one chip costs them 25 US dollars. In Mr. Qiao's view, this is a money grab.

"You tell them that if the price can be reduced to $10, I can purchase a batch of chips from them. If they are unwilling to reduce the price, then forget it." Mr. Qiao said after regaining his breath.

"Boss, I have already communicated with them, and they are unwilling to sell at a lower price." Lu Lei said helplessly.

"Since they are unwilling to lower the price, forget it. If there is nothing else, I will hang up." Mr. Qiao said angrily and immediately hung up the phone.

In fact, it’s not that Mr. Qiao doesn’t want to use the face recognition function. Let’s not talk about the practicality of the face recognition function, but it is undeniable that this technology has a strong sense of technology. If this technology can be used on the next generation iPhone, then The technological sense of iPhone will be greatly improved.

However, Mr. Qiao is not in a hurry. After all, the Deep Blue mobile phone has not been launched yet, so he doesn’t know what the reputation among consumers is like.

If a consumer likes the facial recognition function very much, then he will have to consider not using this feature. If the iPhone cannot provide what consumers want, then consumers will most likely not buy their iPhone again.

Judging from the current situation, the best way to deal with it is to stop quietly. First, let's see how the reputation of Deep Blue mobile phones among consumers is.

2010am British time on August 8, 2.

In the blink of an eye, the past three days have come to the day when Deep Blue mobile phone logged into AT&T and WoFunda.

After Malek Roguli processed his daily files, he opened the backend to check the sales data of Deep Blue Mobile Phones.

"Very good." Malek Roguli said happily.

A total of 3.7 units of Deep Blue mobile phones have been sold since its launch. You must know that their customers are all offline. 2 units were sold worldwide in 3.7 hours. This result is comparable to that of Shanxing's Galaxy. Deep Blue's headphones are even more popular. 3.2 pairs.

In 2 hours, the Deep Blue brand brought them a profit of 2000 million yuan.

However, we will have to wait a week to find out whether Deep Blue Mobile is a good seller or not. Their statistics are calculated on a weekly basis.

2010 am on August 8, 2 in the United States.

AT&T store in downtown San Antonio.

In order to get the most authentic feedback from customers, Sharmila Stephenson personally went to AT&T's busiest business hall.

At this time, a salesperson was promoting Deep Blue mobile phones to customers. Because Deep Blue mobile phones are more profitable than other mobile phones, AT&T headquarters issued an order to promote Deep Blue mobile phones in all business halls.

"Sir, you can actually take a look at this mobile phone that has just been launched. This mobile phone is by far the fastest and most secure smartphone in the world. In addition, it is also the smartphone with the longest battery life and the thinnest." Olena Murray took out the dark blue mobile phone from the counter after seeing the iPhone 4 and introduced it.

Because when customers came, they asked by name to buy an iPhone. It was difficult for her to introduce the Deep Blue phone to customers before they had seen iPhone 4.

Eric Nuniz picked up the dark blue phone and looked at it. He had to say that the gold back cover was very attractive to him.

"Dark blue? Which country's brand is this?" Eric Nuniz asked.

Eric Nuniz didn't believe a word of Olena Murray's sales pitch.

If he hadn't liked rich gold, he wouldn't have asked where the other party's dark blue phone came from.

"Sir, let me first introduce to you the parameters of this mobile phone. This mobile phone uses a 3-core CPU. This is also the first 3-core CPU in the world so far." Olena Murray began to introduce. .

AT&T's operations department knew that users had certain doubts about the products produced by Huaxia, so they asked sales staff to introduce the configuration and functions of the mobile phone first. They planned to use the configuration and functions of the mobile phone to attract customers to buy.

If users insist on asking where this phone is from, they will tell consumers that Deep Blue comes from China.

After some input from Olena Murray, Eric Nuniz realized that the phone was exactly what the other party said.

This phone is not only the fastest and most secure smartphone in the world, it is also the thinnest and lightest phone with the longest battery life.

The most important thing is that facial recognition unlocking gives him a great sense of security. Europeans and Americans are very lacking in security.

"How much does this phone cost?" asked Eric Nuniz

The more Eric Nuniz plays with the Deep Blue phone, the more he likes it. Especially the 5.5-inch large screen looks very comfortable. The visual quality of the Deep Blue phone is not comparable to that of the iPhone 4.

As for Mr. Qiao's false proposition that a mobile phone that can be operated with one hand is a good mobile phone, he has long ago thrown it out of his mind.

If you can't operate it with one hand, just use two hands to operate it. There is no problem in operating the wider Deep Blue mobile phone with one hand. (End of chapter)
