Chapter 546: Collaboration

After some research, Saber found that even the best online maps are not as good as paper maps.

So she's going to ask Tanuki's team to buy a bunch of paper maps, collect them with a scanner, and use them to digitize. These numbers can be combined with aerial photographs to produce high-quality electronic maps.

To accomplish this feat, Saber asked Phantom for $1 million.

Isn't it the end of buying a little digital map? Tanuki was puzzled by this, and decided that Saber had started picking fruits, and he asked for so much money at once, which made his heart ache to death.

But Saber is so insistent, and the tanuki can't do anything, so he can't just break up with the financing after the financing is completed, right?

Tanuki had to agree, but the CEO of the company disagreed, and he had to see those programmers engaged in development before he was willing to give money, and the investor and the entrepreneurial team had a conflict for the first time.

Saber had no choice but to ask Li Xiantai for help.

Saber is only suitable for work, and political struggles have to be watched by real human performances. Mrs. Li Xian came up with a way to communicate with Mr. Xue in person.

Li Xiantai said to Mr. Xue: "Has Mr. Xue heard of Github? ”

This is a video call, and I can see Mr. Xue smiling: "I've heard it too much, it's a platform for programmers to collaborate in the cloud." ”

Mrs. Li Xiantai told Mr. Xue what he had already thought of: "Mr. Xue is really an industry insider, yes, Github uses Git as a collaboration platform for version control, and programmers scattered around the world can submit code according to their own progress."

That's how our team was established, and the previous development of the magic mirror system didn't need to be made public because it didn't use a penny from your company, but the Git text of the entire code of the map development process can be given to you. We don't have to get 1 million all at once.

So, every three days you send someone to review the code and give us 100,000 each time, okay? ”

With Saber's efficiency, it won't take three days at all, but you can't say to these stupid humans, "Please review the code every 30 minutes."

In order to work with the stupid humans, Saber had to deliberately reduce his work efficiency at the behest of Lee, pretending to be working together as a gang of 30 programmers, and dividing the 30 people into three shifts.

Saber took a look at the productivity of the best programmers on Github and made the 30 programmers he faked, all of them elite and conscientious.

Each programmer has their own avatar, all of which Saber found from Github, and after the transformation, only three points resemble the original owner.

Mr. Xue agreed to this spending plan, and sure enough, he sent two former programmers to look at the code at the same time, and the conclusion of these two guys was that the team's work efficiency was very high, but their code was not much to write comments, and I was afraid that the code would not be easy to maintain in the long run.

Mr. Xue didn't care what happened in the long run, as long as it was a real team work, he finally let go of a hanging heart.

The tanuki's team, which had received the funds, began to scan the paper maps they had bought. Those surveying and mapping departments who deliberately give the number of electronic maps with a time difference in order to sell their paper maps are easy to sell, but I didn't expect that there would be people who stole them like this.

The number of maps obtained in this way is jù, even if the application of the magic mirror's road signs is only very mediocre, and the flat map is more powerful than the competition.

Tanuki has no other skills, but is a marketing talent, and he has a keen feeling that this is a big selling point, and hopes that the product can focus on bragging about their timeliness when it is released.

This is a good idea, Saber is as good as a stream, not only marking the update time, but also giving users a warm reminder: you are using the map number jù of the magic mirror *year*month*day, which is 6 months faster than Du Niang, 12 months faster than Gu Niang, and ...... I also made a website to make a summary of a large number of updated jù, so that more serious users can see how good their number jù is.

In the future, the Phantom Mirror Company will be listed, so every expenditure and income must be recorded clearly, and how to share the map with the workshop Phantom Mirror is a problem. This aspect depends on Mr. Xue's experience.

Xue Xianzong mentioned that the company provides a number of authorized services, and shares it with the workshop magic mirror, and the augmented reality road sign application price of the workshop magic mirror is 10 yuan per year, and the company enjoys an income of 5 yuan. The plan was thus decided.

As a result, the "regular products" of Phantom Mirror Company began to make money before they were listed companies. In fact, the workshop magic mirror also began to make money at this time, because the previous products were used to increase the volume, and they were directly wholesaled to the "campus angels" who sold pirated products at cost price.

Thanks to the reputation of the virtual TV experience, the sales of paid AR signposts are unprecedentedly good, which is a miracle in a country that has a natural discrimination against digital products.

On a sunny afternoon, a pair of girlfriends are riding with their newly purchased magic mirrors to experience the digital road signs.

"See?" Best friend A asked. They came out to ride just to experience the road signs, looking for road signs all the way.

A "wooden" road sign with an arrow stands at the intersection with some words "carved" on it: 17 years from Xiaozhou Village. 3 km, 3 traffic lights.

"See!" Girlfriend B shouted, this is probably the first trip in human history to look at the road signs all the way, where will the masses who don't know the truth understand their curiosity?

In addition to the intersection, there is a road sign every 50 meters, guiding them all the way to the destination, what a black technology, the girls who are fascinated by the black technology are always tireless, laughing all the way.

The signs were so realistic that they had to put their hands through the wooden bodies of the "entities" to be convinced that they were virtual beings.

Supporting the two girls' enthusiasm for travel is the great virtual TV, which hangs from the sky in front of the bike path while they are on the road, and always keeps the right distance from their sight, so that they can watch TV while riding.

"What are you looking at?" One girl asks another.

The CEO of Phantom Mirror was interviewed by a reporter from Daqing TV. The reporter asked him what kind of applications he would have in the future. ”

The girl was very concerned about this, and when she heard it, she immediately asked, "Which station?" ”

"Daqing TV financial channel."

The host asked: "Mr. Xue, I noticed that there are only two kinds of magic mirrors at present, one is a virtual TV set, and the other is a digital road sign, why are there only these two?" What were the reasons for this? ”

Mr. Xue, the braggart king, said unslanderously: "You know, augmented reality technology is very different from virtual reality technology. Virtual reality technology is all about immersive experiences, and when you enter the virtual reality world, you have to forget about the real world.

In other words, you can't move, you can't move, the virtual world is a completely different world, if you move around, there will be big problems, at least it will collide with the walls, tables and chairs of the real world, and hurt yourself, or it will collide with cars and pedestrians, and if you don't do it, it will kill you.

Virtual reality technology also has a lot to offer, but what ordinary people may need most is not a completely different world, and it may be difficult to adapt to it, and augmented reality technology is somewhere between reality and virtual reality.

It will change our lives for the better. It offers us an interface that has never been seen before, and for the first time ever, an interface without a sense of dissonance has emerged. It allows the digital to blend perfectly with reality, and if done well, it can make people feel completely unaware of the 'interface' itself.

This is a subversive experience, and what we want to do in Phantom Mirror is to make this subversive revolutionary product to the extreme, so we generally don't take mediocre products lightly.

Can't we project the mobile phone interface or computer interface onto the eyes? Of course it can be done, it's too easy. Maybe we'll do it later, though, not now. The center of our team is all about 'perfect fit'.

What is the disruptive nature of augmented reality? I can give you an example. Here's an example of our augmented reality signpost. Let's assume that a city needs an average of 10,000 road signs. One hundred cities in our Great Qing Kingdom alone need 1 million road signs.

Let's assume that the price of each road sign is 100 yuan, which may be more than that, or it may be more, I am talking nonsense. I'm talking about the same thing. So, I need 100 million to erect signposts.

Okay, now that we are going to internationalize, the leadership has decided to add an English to all the road signs. Well, as soon as the leader gave an order, 100 million was spent.

One day we will not only be international, but also friendly to our neighbors, plus some languages of neighboring countries, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Malay, Mongolian, Russian, what international events will be held, plus German, French, Italian, Spanish, I will count it as 10 languages.

Is this a billion more thing? Not like that. If you stack all 10 languages together, how dizzying it is, and people with dense phobias can even develop fear.

Digital road signs don't have this problem at all. Dedicated to special people, you will be presented to you in whatever language you have. None of this is the point, and we will find most of the road signs useless to you in real life. Take, for example, hundreds of popular locations in Guangzhou.

Hundreds of road signs, tens of thousands of them are useless to me, because at this moment, as a tourist, I only need a destination to guide me, what's the use of you showing me so much? Of course it didn't work. It also disrupts my vision.

This is the most subversive point, hundreds or thousands of instantaneously generated road signs dedicated to special personnel, so that you can see the road signs at a glance, guiding you all the way forward. This is something that is absolutely impossible for traditional road signs.
