Xiao Tianna took over Zhang Dongshuo's work, and the two handed over their duties the next day. Zhang Dongshuo then rushed back to HK Huahong Technology.

After reading Zhang Dongshuo's notes, Xiao Tian came to Xing Baohua and said, "That old Zhang is quite skilled; he's figured out all the hardware vulnerabilities."

"He's stronger in hardware, and you two are evenly matched. Microsoft has already started customizing a system for us. I guess Microsoft will add some features to their MD-DOS system. The next step is for you to thoroughly understand this system and find the security vulnerabilities."

Xiao Tian nodded after listening and said, "I'll go to Da Mei right now?"

"No need to go. I've had someone prepare a Taiwan provincial identity for you, showing you're a PhD graduate from MIT. That way, you can get into the technical team and communicate with them," Xing Baohua continued.

"Okay, where's the information? I'll go back and memorize it." As soon as Xiao Tian finished speaking, he saw Xing Baohua take a leather bag out of his drawer.

I opened it and took a look. The documents and some certificates seem very realistic.

The more they looked at it, the more real it seemed, so they asked out of curiosity, "Are all of these real?"

"It's fake. They just brought in a top expert from China to make some kinds of documents," Xing Baohua said vaguely.

It's said that the document forger that Wang Dalu brought in is almost forcing the Japanese Ministry of Transportation to change the documents and add anti-counterfeiting features.

Xiao Tian was assigned to work elsewhere. Xing Baohua began handling matters related to the factories in Hong Kong and mainland China in his office.

Some were sent to him via email, while others were brought to him in person. Being the CEO of a multinational corporation keeps you very busy!

After paying off his debts to China Merchants Group and Poly Group, Xing Baohua still had over 10 billion yuan in hand. Now, with the more than 3 billion yuan in profits from electronic orders, he finally has some money to spare.

Some debts can be left unpaid without pressure from creditors. But what if Xing Baohua didn't have the confidence to make this profit? He would have started collection efforts long ago.

Many people are afraid that Xing Baohua will use the money to privatize Nikon, and some government officials have even given Xing Baohua public warnings.

The main reason is that Xing Baohua has already addressed the shortcomings, achieving complete control over Nikon. The remaining minority shareholders can only watch helplessly. Moreover, this guy has an even more shameless trump card: veto power.

Now, if Nikon wants to do something, as long as he agrees, those minority shareholders basically have nothing to do with it.

What does that mean? You have to listen whether you want to or not.

In this situation, Nikon, as a large international company, operating at high speed is quite formidable.

Especially in the field of digital cameras, things are no longer what Xing Baohua initially envisioned.

The appearance was also changed a lot according to Xing Baohua's ideas, especially the optical components inside. In fact, he had come up with a solution before, but it was not developed because of someone's obstruction.

Under Xing Baohua's pressure, the researchers had no choice but to produce results or get out of there. They simply took out their previous plan, added a few things, and produced a sample.

One of them looked like a digital camera meant to fool children. But it wasn't actually a toy; it was a real digital camera.

This is a thermal paper camera similar to those from Casio.

Thermal paper imaging—it's true that this is a digital product, but it's not a camera in the strict sense.

This thing can be printed directly after taking a picture, but it's only black and white.

The principle is that the image is composed of dots, instantly becoming cartoonish. It's very entertaining, but as for practicality, well, let's just say it's not very useful.

The production cost is considerable, and the estimated selling price is over one hundred US dollars.

The camera is powered by two AA batteries, and the only power-consuming component is the screen, which uses a 2.2-inch TFT monochrome screen to display images.

When taking a photo, the scene or people are rendered using a pixel grid, just like the kind of image that appears on an old-fashioned black and white screen mobile phone.

The pattern with dots was printed out immediately after the photo was taken.

Xing Baohua immediately canceled the project, saying it was too expensive and impractical, and that it would be better to focus the time and energy on optics and pixels.

This is where future research and development should focus.

Having data on optics and pixels, and then matching and adjusting based on that data, is actually a long and arduous project.

In the digital field, whoever possesses the most advanced technologies, such as image imaging and brightness, will lead the way.

Since the era of iPhones, perhaps starting with the 6P, the iPhone's camera has been several steps slower than others.

Not only the pixels, but even the RAM is several steps slower.

Don't be put off, it's not only expensive, but also very smooth.

Even with 8GB of RAM, you can't match someone else's 3GB of RAM, and these are products released in the same year.

Furthermore, regarding Apple's pixel count, while others have 100 million pixels, Apple is still stuck at 24 million.

So why does a 100 million pixel image not look as good as a 20 million pixel image?

This is why large companies have specialized departments that handle this; they've built a massive database for each generation of lens imaging to conduct debugging for the next generation.

But what about domestic brand mobile phones? They change lens manufacturers for each generation. Then they adjust the image color.

For example, if a well-known mobile phone brand feels that Samsung is cheaper this year, then they'll use Samsung; if Sony is cheaper next year, then they'll use Sony. Who's cheaper now, Leica?

These manufacturers don't have the time to work on data; the data is provided by the manufacturers themselves, and the phone manufacturers only need to integrate this data into the camera software.

Whether the effect is good or not depends entirely on the software debugging.

Instead of addressing the problem through hardware, we can use software as an aid.

The digital camera was now in front of Xing Baohua. It was much smaller in size, but the lens was fixed, and the distance could only be adjusted by extending or retracting the lens internally.
