Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

Since it decided to do mobile payment, Xingyuan began to shift its focus to this aspect.

When it comes to mobile payment, the QR code cannot be avoided.

The two-dimensional code was invented in 1994 by Mr. Masahiro Shima himself.

Moreover, Mr. Yuan Changhong voluntarily gave up the patent application for the invention of the two-dimensional code.

According to him, he did this for three reasons: the first patent is time-limited, and the protection period of the invention patent is only 20 years. It can be used for free when it expires, without authorization and payment. Mr. Yuan Changhong thinks it is very troublesome, and he does not want to keep staring at his patents.

Mr. Echihara Changhong has publicly said more than once on many occasions: I am an engineer, not a businessman.

Third, the barcode appeared before the QR code appeared. Mr. Yuan Changhong felt that there was no charge for the barcode, and there was no need to charge for his QR code.

Therefore, Mr. Yuan Changhong did not apply for a QR code patent.

In fact, in a sense, barcodes and QR codes are a pair of "brothers".

The barcode was born in the island country after the 1960s. At that time, the island country entered a stage of rapid economic rise, and the sales of each supermarket in the island country were rapidly increasing.

At that time, the cashiers needed to manually input commodity prices for a long time and frequently when collecting money, resulting in very slow efficiency and long hours of work.

Some cashiers were prone to fatigue and even sickness in their hands, so it wasn't long before Norman Joseph Woodland, who invented the barcode.

Later, there were many disadvantages of barcodes, such as relatively small data capacity, only letters and numbers, large size, and inability to read after being damaged.

In order to solve these drawbacks, in 1994, Denso Corporation of Japan officially announced the issuance of the first QR code.

The working principle of the barcode is that the computer can identify the black and white strips of uneven thickness in the horizontal direction, and can find the item number information hidden in it.

Barcodes and QR codes are good brothers. To put it bluntly, they actually change their clothes for characters such as numbers, letters, and symbols, and dress them up as black and white strips or blocks that can be recognized by mobile phone cameras.

Compared with barcodes that only carry information in one dimension, QR codes can carry information in both horizontal and vertical dimensions, thus making it look like this square.

The QR code is to translate the information into small black and white squares, and then fill in this big square, which is somewhat similar to the answer sheet used in the middle school exam.

To put it simply, it is to turn the information into a machine-scannable image, and you can know the information contained in the QR code in an instant.

So, the most crucial question is, how did this information become this QR code map?

At this point, it is necessary to mention the core of programming: binary.

Although the styles of numbers, letters, Chinese characters and other characters we usually use are completely different, humans have invented a method so that they can be uniformly converted into a binary sequence of numbers consisting of 0 and 1. This conversion process is called coding.

After the characters become a sequence of numbers consisting of only 0 and 1, a series of optimization algorithms are performed to obtain the final binary code.

In the last string of codes, a 0 corresponds to a small white square, and a 1 corresponds to a small black square. Fill these small squares into large squares in groups of 8, and this is a complete, A QR code image that can be recognized by a mobile phone camera.

This technology is complex and complicated, simple and simple, basically 90% of the problems can be solved by repeated experiments, but it takes some time.

Just when Xingyuan was working hard to conquer QR code and mobile payment technology, this morning, Luo Fan suddenly received a call from the front desk: "Mr. Luo, the police are looking for you."

"Police? Did he say why he was looking for me?"

"No."

"That's it! Then invite him here!"

After a while, the front desk brought a young man to Luo Fan's office.

The young man was wearing casual clothes and looked very sunny and handsome, but his skin was a little dark. At first glance, he looked like the kind that often gets sunburned outside.

"Mr. Luo, hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Guo Yuan from Shanxi. I came to see you with something I would like to help you with."

"Officer Guo, if you have something to say, just say it!"

"Can Luo always listen to me tell a story before I tell something?"

"What is it?" Luo Fan asked curiously.

"That's it!"

"Then Officer Guo, please start!"

Guo Yuan nodded, sorted out the language, and said: "The story should start from the time of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. In the third year of Qingli, Emperor Renzong appointed Fan Zhongyan, a political minister, to carry out the "New Qingli Policy", in an attempt to curb the increasingly serious land mergers and "Three Years". Redundancy” phenomenon, but due to the huge opposition force, the reform was suspended immediately.

Affected by the reform, a Beijing official surnamed Chen at that time was raided and his family was exterminated.

About a year later, the fame of the oiran Chen Siniang spread throughout the Kaifeng Mansion.

The official prostitutes in the Song Dynasty can get out of their nationality. It is easy to say that it is not easy to say.

However, in the eyes of the officials at the time, it was not a glorious thing to issue a renunciation document for an official prostitute, so although Chen Siniang was surrounded by literati and writers, none of the dignitaries were willing to help her renounce her citizenship.

At this time, a friend of Chen Siniang's official prostitute told her that she could invest in those students who came to Beijing to take the exam. After they came to Kaifeng, Chen Siniang would provide them with food and accommodation. When they were in high school, perhaps someone would reciprocate because of Chen Siniang's care and help them get out of their citizenship.

In the Tang Dynasty, this method was one of the few effective ways for officials and prostitutes to be good.

After listening to her friend's words, Chen Siniang immediately decided to give it a try.

Chen Siniang has sponsored ten students in three years. There are four of them in high school, but unfortunately they are all ranked lower. When they climb to the sixth grade, they don't know when they want.

Just when Chen Siniang was in despair, she met a man who was also a student who went to Beijing to take the exam. He was seventeen years old. Like Chen Siniang, he was from Shanxi. He was a year younger than Chen Siniang, but he was quite a Talented and polite.

Chen Siniang fell in love with this student at first sight when she first met him. Different from the previous dramas in order to get out of the country, Chen Siniang really put her heart on the man this time.

The man also gradually fell in love with Chen Siniang, and the man swore to Chen Siniang that he would definitely quit for Chen Siniang after high school.

A few months later, the man was really named in the gold medal list, and he was the third best.

While parading across the street, Chen Siniang cried with joy when she saw the man on the horse.

However, the man never came to see Chen Siniang after high school. Chen Siniang waited for two years without seeing him.

Until one day two years later, Chen Siniang was invited to perform at a high-ranking official's house. At the banquet at the house, Chen Siniang met the person she was thinking about.

The man was sitting very close to Chen Siniang, and beside him sat a beautiful woman.

Chen Siniang sang the song on the stage when the two were apart. After the man heard it, he said to the woman next to him: This song is very familiar to him, as if he had heard it somewhere.

At this time, Chen Siniang realized that she had been forgotten by men, maybe she was always remembered by men.

Since then, Chen Siniang has never thought about renunciation. It was not until she was about to become old that the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. Their family happened to be within the scope of amnesty, and she was proud to leave her country.

Chen Siniang left Kaifeng Mansion after renunciation, and returned to her hometown Bingzhou with the money she had saved over the years.

However, I don't know if fate is joking with her, Chen Siniang met the man of the year in Bingzhou.

At this time, he was already in the fourth rank of official residence, which was not very beautiful.

Chen Siniang was unwilling to let the man live so beautifully, so she tried every means to meet the man and find an opportunity to kill the man.

And Chen Siniang committed suicide after killing the man.

The man was eventually buried in his hometown, but his tomb was found by a relative of Chen Siniang, who dug it up and threw the stone carvings with the story into the man's coffin.

And just six months ago, this tomb was found. Coincidentally, there was a large tomb from the Ming Dynasty next to this tomb, and the tomb of the Ming Dynasty still had traces of being stolen. "

"The tomb of the Ming Dynasty that Officer Guo said is not the one in my hometown, right?" Luo Fan asked in a strange tone.

"It's there."

"Nara River..."

"He's fine. Although he has visited the tomb, he didn't hit the robbery hole, and Luo Jiang took the initiative to explain that the tomb was discovered by the relevant departments."

"What's wrong with Officer Guo coming to find me?"

"Does Mr. Luo believe in the cycle of cause and effect?"

Luo Fan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Guo Yuan smiled when he heard the words. He handed Luo Fan an envelope. After Luo Fan opened the envelope and glanced at the contents, his face changed greatly.

He looked at Guo Yuan in shock, Guo Yuan smiled and said, "If Mr. Luo really believes it, please help make this story into a movie!"

Luo Fan nodded and said nothing more.

The next day, Luo Fan called Cao Shuai over. He wrote down the story that Guo Yuan told him yesterday, and asked Cao Shuai to find an editor to polish the story and make it into a movie.

When Cao Shuai heard the words, he was confused. He couldn't understand, why did Luo Fan suddenly want to make a movie by himself?

However, a movie doesn't cost much. It just happened that Chen Junmiao's "The City's College Entrance Examination" was recently filmed, so she can continue to make this new movie.

Thinking of this, Cao Shuai nodded and agreed.

After watching Cao Shuai leave the office, Luo Fan took out the letter again. He hesitated for a while, but instead of opening it, he burned the letter with a lighter.

......

Unconsciously, a month has passed, and the technical department of Xingyuan has basically overcome the technical problems related to the QR code.

At the same time, the access of mobile payment is basically completed, and you can join in the next update of Star Chat.

Luo Fan thought about it and felt that he still had to test more. It was related to money, so he could not be too cautious.

At the same time, the division work on Neihan Duanzi has been basically completed.

The next step is to determine the basic development direction of Neihan Duanzi, and how to link Neihan Duanzi with other projects of Xingyuan.

As the first internal project conceived by Daily Toutiao, Neihan Duanzi is currently a segment-based website consisting of funny clips from various TV dramas and variety shows plus some self-made short videos.

It covers funny text, funny pictures and videos.

It has always been in a position below the daily headline APP.

Luo Fan used almost everything from Daily Toutiao to help the Neihan Duanzi drain traffic.

Later, after the accumulation of popularity of Neihan Duanzi was completed, Luo Fan immediately launched a special Neihan Duanzi APP, and paid a high price to invite some employees and senior management before 56.com, and let them take over the work of Neihan Duanzi.

Now that the cutting of Neihan Duanzi has been completed, there is no longer an exclusive section for Neihan Duanzi below the daily headlines.

The daily life of Neihan Duanzi is basically stable at around 8 million.

Luo Fan called Zhou Yuqing. She is an expert in video, so it's always right to hear her opinion.

Zhou Yuqing came to Luo Fan's office, and Luo Fan asked straight to the point: "Mr. Zhou, the segmentation of Hanan Duanzi has been completed. My future plan for Conan Duanzi is to encourage users to shoot short videos by themselves, focusing on innovation, what do you think? How about it?"

"I think it's very good, boss, your idea is the same as what I did in 56.com, but unfortunately 56.com didn't pay much attention to this aspect at that time."

"Then do you have any thoughts on linking Neihan Duanzi with the company's other products?" Luo Fan continued to ask.

"Boss, I think Neihan Duanzi can be so popular, in addition to the daily headline traffic, the content itself is also very attractive.

Neihan Duanzi takes pictures and short videos as the main route, which is suitable for draining long videos.

In fact, I discussed it with Mr. Gao a few days ago. We thought that if we could put the long videos on Xiaopozhan and the funny clips like animation on the connotation paragraphs.

After reading this short paragraph, the user of Neihan Duanzi can't help but want to read the following content, and then he needs to jump to Xiaopo Station.

It's just that this idea needs to implement a technology of jumping directly between apps. I'm not sure whether this technology is difficult to implement. "

The technology of jumping between different apps mentioned by Zhou Yuqing is actually not difficult. Taobao's Taobao password and Xiaopozhan's bv number are similar technologies.

To put it bluntly, it is an interface thing.

According to Zhou Yuqing, the content creators of Neihan Duanzi can sort out the content of the cut clips, and then open an interface on Xiaopo Station, and these contents can open up the link with our short film, and users can see the content in the future. Duanzi's short video, if you want to watch the full episode, you can click directly to Xiaopo Station.

This is a good idea, and Luo Fan thinks it can be operated.

Moreover, Zhou Yuqing's statement also reminded Luo Fan, he can use this kind of mutual jump between APPs to drain each other in Xingyuan's major APPs.
