Chapter 1178 QR code
After dealing with Kunlun's mobile phone, Xu Liang quickly paid attention to Hongmeng Pay.
Call the past.
The company CEO Shang Zhengfeng quickly connected.
"President Xu."
"The two -dimensional code has a brow?"
"Yes, President Xu.
The "QR Code Payment" project you arrange, our team is vigorously developing, the technical difficulty is not great, and the results will be available next year.
During this time, we went to Dongying on a business trip and visited the inventor of the QR code Yuan Changhong.
We originally wanted to buy or obtain patent authorization. As a result, the patent of others was open source, and people all over the world could use it for free. "
"Open source? Don't collect money? Dongye people are so generous?" Xu Liang was surprised.
Although he knows that 'QR code payment' is the future development trend, it is not clear about specific details.
Only on smartphones, Hongmeng Pay also had a certain user base, and then explained the development of the research and development of the ‘QR code’.
"This is true! Original Changhong worked in the Dongying Electric Installation Co., Ltd. This is a car parts company independent from Toyota Group.
In 1994, in order to solve the product management problems of the manufacturing and logistics industry, the Electric Plaza Co., Ltd. arranged a two -dimensional code technology with a colleague.
Because the information can be recorded in the horizontal and vertical directions, the QR code has greater information capacity and anti -dirt loss performance than ordinary barcode.
Because this technology is not very difficult, and from the perspective of Yuan Changhong, the use scenario should be limited to industry and open source patents, which can make this technology more widely used.
If the patent is paid, many people and companies may not use this technology. "
Xu Liang didn't say a word.
It is not accurate to say that the QR code technology is invented by the East people, because the Americans invented the technology as early as the 1980s.
It was just that everyone in Dongxun was improved later. The QR standard QR code was launched, and because it was free, it was popular on the application. Later, the QR standard even became synonymous with QR codes and standard QR codes.
QR's full name QuickResponse quickly responds to matrix codes, which is characterized by three small squares except the lower right corner.
After seeing the QR code of Huaxia Avenue and Alley in the past life, he told Huaxia reporters that he was very happy to see his invention widely applied to the whole society.
He also said that he was planning to further study and design a more secure and diverse QR code technology, but this time he was charged, and he did not know if his heart was dripping when he said this sentence.
There were many people on the Internet that everyone in the country was upset for their country. I felt that the Huaxias should pay the patent fee of Dongying and pay a penny at a time. This kind of remark was ridiculed by the group of Huaxia netizens.
First of all, the validity period of the patent in Huaxia is only two decades. When the QR code is widely used, the original technical patent of the two -dimensional code of Dongying has already expired.
In addition, Huaxia's payment QR code was developed twice on the basis of the original two -dimensional code invented by the original Changhong, which is equivalent to variants, but from the source, it is still the QR standard.
Several two -dimensional coded startups in China applied for one or two patents. They actually ran to touch porcelain penguins and claimed 10 billion yuan.
As a result, the patents of startups were invalidated by relevant departments.
It was not that the penguin had a relationship, but that the patent content of the startup company was not high. In the final analysis, it was developed on the basis of Dongying and Americans.
Even the people of Dongying gave up their fees, who dared to jump out of the charges so much.
It can be said that no company has the dominant control position of the QR code technology patent, but there are some problems in the future and patent traps.
Shang Zhengfeng continued: "We found all the domestic China, and found that it was in Zhongguancun. Next to us, there was a startup company called Yirui New Code Development and Application. Reading the engine software
In cooperation with Huaxia Item Code Center, this company has successfully developed my country's first Hanxin code reading equipment and mobile version of the Hanxin code engine.
He also won the 2006 Special Contribution Award of Huaxia Automatic identification industry. This year, it has also become a national standard and is applying for the international ISO standard.
By the way, Academician Li Guangnan is the leader of the expert group. "
Xu Liang was a little surprised.
Of course he knew Li Guangnan.
Not only because he founded the predecessor of the conscience company, he developed a well -known conscience company Hanka.
The most important thing was that he had the argument with Liu Chuanzhi, 'Technology, Industry and Trade' and 'Trade and Industry Skills "that gathered the epitome of Huaxia's era.
After the successful research and development of the microcomputers of the conscience company, Li Guangnan began to pay attention to the development of computer chips and operating systems.
He first joined the independently designed ASIC chip in Type 7 Conscience Hanka and succeeded, selling nearly one million.
In 1992, at the annual meeting of the conscience company group, he also proposed to create projects such as "program -controlled switches" and "Chinese laser printer", and successfully integrated Hanka's function into the chip and transplanted to the laser printer.
During this period, the internal development direction of the conscience company gradually caused fierce differences. Li Guangnan always advocated to increase investment in R & D and continued to launch advanced products to follow the road of "technical and industry and trade".
However, most people inside the conscience company group, including then president Liu Chuanzhi, advocated the "trade technology" line.
In 1995, the old man was terminated by the chief and directors of the conscience company.
After that, Li Guangnan still stayed at the conscience company, but he did not have any position until he left completely in 1999.
With his departure, the "ASIC chip" project of the conscience company was abolished.
Later, the "conscience company" known as the national technology company's top brand became the world's largest computer assembly company.
It's ironic!
Then again.
Like the Hanxin code, it is a Chinese standard two -dimensional code tied to the East QR standard.
The country of previous lives has also vigorously promoted this standard, but it is a pity that because there is no QR code easy to use, it is not promoted.
However, the government, national defense scientific research and military departments have always worried about foreign code systems and technology, and they are more inclined to use the code system of independent intellectual property rights, so the Han letter code is not useless. At critical moments, there are spare tires that can top spare tires. superior.
Shang Zhengfeng's mysterious secret: "I also asked the conscience mobile phone to cooperate with Yi Rui, and planned to launch my country's first QR code phone."
"Conscience Company is so fashionable this time?"
Xu Liang's smile is a bit funny. As the saying goes: the step is big, it is easy to pull the crotch!
At present, many factors such as the inconsistent mobile phone platform, the low degree of intelligence, the low configuration of the mobile phone camera, and the high level of technology of manufacturers are not conducive to promoting QR code technology.
I will start promoting QR codes now, I am afraid that it can only be the martyrs.
Shang Zhengfeng heard the ridicule of the boss's words, and vowed to say, "Mr. Xu, we must be different from them.
The two -dimensional code payment software we developed on the Kunlun mobile phone will definitely get all problems and bring the best experience to users. "
"You don't have to worry too much. Putting the polishing products and technology first.
And it is not necessary to develop a software for the two -dimensional code, but should be used as a function in the software. "
Shang Zhengfeng was puzzled: "Everyone is doing so now, including conscience companies and mobile companies intend to develop a software."
"That's a problem with their direction. Isn't it good to equip the mobile phone software of Hongmeng and Penguin? The next Kunlun mobile phone will be equipped with Facebook and oil pipe mobile phone applications.
Social+two -dimensional code payment is the correct way to open.
Social software provides high -frequency entrances. After the user logs in, you can directly apply the homepage without exit.
For example, take a QR code in the upper left corner or upper corner.
Payment, add friends, sign in, check in, display personal health ... Do not use too much use scenario. "
Shang Zhengfeng listened directly and was surprised: "In addition to paying, there are so many use scenarios?" Xu Liang sneered: "When the QR code was born, the application was limited to industry. Personal users?
"Still you have vision."
After shooting a fart, Shang Zhengfeng continued, "President Xu, we must polish the technology and products to the most perfect state according to your instructions, and at the same time think more about exploring some application scenarios."
Xu Liang responded and thought about it.
"You have time to visit Academician Li Guangnan to see if there is still room for improvement in Hanxin code?"
As a product of independent intellectual property rights and national standards, he also hopes to be widely used in the civilian field, not just military and political use.
"Okay, President Xu."
...
the next day.
Xu Liang simply packed up, and took Mo Hong makeup and three little guys to Manchester.
Mo Manniang has to prepare her own art exhibition, and I have not followed these days.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
There are private planes in Britain.
It took the whole process to reach the Manchester United Kalinton base within an hour.
Xu Liang has been here a few times, and it can be regarded as a light car.
But when he came again, it was obvious that it was a lot busy here.
The parking lot is clearly expanded, and there are more people who have been reached in and out of the suit.
"Boss."
David Gill stood in front of the front, next to the old man, and a group of Manchester United senior.
After Xu Liang stepped forward and shook hands with everyone, everyone came to the conference room.
Dang Ren was sitting on the main position.
After looking at the crowd, we laughed: "When I came last time, we had a lot of new partners, which proved that we were developing well. I am very happy."
David Gill was relieved.
"This time, the main purpose is to meet you, and by the way, look at the progress of the company's various plans.
By the way, the day after tomorrow is our top battle with Arsenal's list, and I also plan to watch the ball. "
The old grandfather flickered, but didn't say much.
After a short meeting, Xu Liang sent extra people to leave.
Only David Gill was left.
"David, how is the construction of the new headquarters?"
"The main building has been completed, and the internal and external decoration work is currently being officially delivered in mid -2009."
The construction speed of large construction engineering, pile foundation and overall framework is fast. It is enough to use the steel structure to directly irrigate the cement mortar.
The renovation is really time -consuming.
"Go and see with me in a while."
"Okay."
"Is the group's financial report in the third quarter?"
"It's ready."
"Take it to me."
David Gill quickly recruited the secretary. It took a long time. The operating materials and detailed financial reports of the Manchester United Group in the third quarter of 2007 were put into his hands.
Manchester United's current Manchester United and Manchester United have not said that they are different, and there have been great changes in the past.
Don't talk about the new stadium first.
In terms of business alone.
Manchester United now has clubs, Manchester United Commercial Corporation (online B2C website and offline member store), Manchester United Catering Company (bar and restaurant), Manchester United Media (TV station, portal, advertising), and Manchester United Hotel.
Originally, there was Manchester United Finance Company (similar to PayPal), but later it was cut off, and the relevant business was sold to the bank.
Although Manchester United's group development, it expands too much at once, and it is easy to get eggs.
Comprehensive consideration, Xu Liang still reduced Manchester United's business scale.
In fact, strictly speaking, Xu Liang really added the business to Manchester United to only Manchester United Commercial Corporation and Manchester United Hotel.
The club did not say that Manchester United had a bar business, but Xu Liang added a restaurant business to it.
In the Manchester United Media Company, Manchester United Television, portal and advertisements were existing business before Xu Liang's acquisition.
It just expanded further.
In terms of website, in addition to the English website, it also cooperated with Hongmeng to establish a Chinese website, as well as Japanese and Korean websites.
Manchester United has many fans in Asia, especially East Asia.
The increase in business volume has also greatly increased Manchester United's revenue.
When Xu Liang acquired, Manchester United's total revenue was only about 150 million pounds.
But last year Manchester United's total revenue has exceeded 700 million pounds.
The total revenue in the third quarter of this year exceeded 280 million pounds.
The club's revenue, which once occupied nearly 80%of Manchester United's income, has now fallen to about 34%.
The income from the online B2C website has grown rapidly.
Starting from scratch, in just two and a half years, it expanded to a degree of £ 200 million in the third quarter.
It is actually very simple to develop so fast.
High -quality selection.
If a online website wants to develop well, the most important thing is products with excellent quality and reasonable price.
Therefore, the Manchester Fang website cooperates with the No. 1 store. Manchester United provides the design of the British preferences, and the No. 1 store provides a relatively high -quality supplier in China.
With the high -quality supply chain accumulated by the No. 1 store and the Guelong supermarket, the high -quality and low -cost Huaxia products soon opened the sales with the fans accumulated by Manchester United.
In less than three years, it has become the most popular online B2C website in Britain.
Drive the rapid growth of the entire Manchester United Group's revenue.
Although income has increased, it is well known that the profit of the retail industry is not high.
In order to ensure sufficient competitiveness, especially in response to Amazon's competition, the profit ratio of the Manchester Internet of China is only 10%.
