Chapter 902: Robot Vacuum

The arrangement of Meng Tutu Kindergarten is to start a three-day registration on Friday, and the entrance exam will start next Monday! But after registering Luoluo on Friday, Yang Yan originally thought that there was at least one day and two nights of exam preparation time, but what he didn't expect was that he suddenly became busy this weekend!

Even when I went to dance classes on Saturday and Sunday, Xia Yu was responsible for sending them over and accompanying them!

So, what did Yang Yan do this weekend?

Yang Yan was called by Lei Zhentian, and they went to Pengcheng together to inspect a domestic sweeping robot company called i!

This company, there is no doubt, the company's name imitates the internationally famous sweeping robot brand irobot, and also tries to get close to Apple's product naming, giving itself an i (love cleaning) name, but the Chinese name is a simple transliteration - Ai Colin (Pengcheng) Technology Co., Ltd.

I have to say, looking at it this way, it is quite a bit foreign!

But the company is doing poorly! It doesn't have the momentum of Apple or iRobot......

It stands to reason that now the domestic market for sweeping robots has gradually risen, and the consumer groups with the 80s and 90s as the main body are more inclined to use these sweeping robots that have long been used abroad, saving them the trouble of cleaning and improving the happiness of life!

But the sweeping robot products produced by Aicorin are not selling well, and there are several well-known international brands such as Feiner, irobot, Dyson, etc., and there are several large companies such as the famous domestic Dibao, refrigerator brothers, etc., to seize the market, and the brand that is not a climate like Aicolin is almost eliminated by the market!

"Now they want to change their careers to make drones, and the top drone brand started by the students in Xuepeng City! Mainly in the research and development of sweeping robots in the past six years, there is still a certain amount of technology accumulation, which can be used in drones. However, regardless of whether they succeed in switching to drones, the good news now is that they want to sell this product line of sweeping robots!" Lei Zhentian told Yang Yan.

Lei Zhentian recently asked a professional commercial agency to help find a suitable Bluetooth speaker production line, but he didn't expect that the Bluetooth speaker production line had not been found, and the agency first found such a valuable piece of information for him!

"When we talked before, didn't we study what directions our smart home system should cover?When I saw this report, I suddenly thought that in addition to smart speakers that can be controlled by mobile phones or voices, light switches, TVs, and air conditioners, there are also sweeping robots!" Before going to Yangcheng, Lei Zhentian said to Yang Yan with great interest while waving a business investigation report, " Just the Xiaoai smart speaker we want to produce now,Isn't it okay to shout Xiaoai Xiaoai,And then let it help start the sweeping robot,Intelligently complete the cleaning of the home?"

Lei Zhentian's idea gave Yang Yan a lot of inspiration, and he thought of a lot of possibilities at once-yes, he can use smart speakers to control sweeping robots, such as his own one called "Chuanchuan" robot, although it has the shape of a car, but the inside is modified from a sweeping robot!

"But,Now the market for sweeping robots is not easy to grab......" Yang Yan because of the previous modification of "Chuanchuan",I still have a certain understanding of the major brands of sweeping robots,He said calmly,"Other big brands of sweeping robots have actually achieved intelligence now,The most powerful,They will plan their own routes to sweep the floor,If we just have a voice control function,I guess it will be difficult to grab the cake that has been divided from them......"

"What can I do then? Do you have any better ideas? This report also says that this Ekorin sweeping robot has a lot of problems, such as the sweeping route is set very rigidly, and there are often omissions! And it consumes a lot of power and runs very noisy...... That's why it doesn't sell well. Lei Zhentian frowned.

"For the problems of power consumption and noise, we have to ask some engineers to find a solution. Yang Yan spread his hands and said with a smile, "What I can do is to modify its control program." This one is relatively simple, because I have changed a robot vacuum cleaner and have studied it. As long as its sensor is easy to use, I can change it to the same as my robot vacuum, and plan the most concise and clean route by myself. I can guarantee that this is better than all the robot vacuum cleaners on the market!"

"Their sweeping robot is easy to use with sensors!" Lei Zhentian excitedly hammered Yang Yan with a fist and said, "My report says that their sweeping robot will not bump into furniture when sweeping the floor, which is why they want to engage in drones! I heard that DJs want to buy their sensor patents, but I think this news is their own words, DJ's technology is already very good." ”

"There are still a lot of things that need to be improved, power consumption, noise and those problems are corrected, we add the function of mopping the floor to it, and intelligent dust collection, yes, the function of intelligent dust collection is not available on the market, and it is very troublesome to clean the dust box by yourself. If we have these features, we should be able to occupy a certain position in the market!" Yang Yan touched his chin, feeling that these studies were very interesting topics.

"In this way, we really have to buy this Aikolin!" Lei Zhentian said to Yang Yan ambitiously, "The current sweeping robot market is far from saturation, I roughly asked, many people don't have sweeping robots at home, and they don't even know about sweeping robots!So, with the improvement of everyone's living standards, this market still has great potential!"

What's more,Sweeping robots can be sold very expensive!How much does a Bluetooth speaker sell?The proportion of profit in this is more objective!

Of course, Lei Zhentian did not immediately make a decision to buy Ikelin, after all, the company's asking price is also tens of millions - even Lei Earthquaketian They just want Ikelin's product line and some of the technical and technical personnel they have.

Such a large acquisition needs to be cautious!

Therefore, this weekend, Lei Zhentian took Yang Yan to Pengcheng, where they went to inspect Aikolin's company on the spot, and asked Yang Yan to personally inspect their products and technologies.

It can't be done in a weekend, Yang Yan just had a cursory understanding, and then he asked for a few different models of products to go back to Yangcheng to continue research.

This time, Yang Yan really saw the value of Ai Kelin's technical reserves, and these need to be negotiated with the other party by Lei Zhentian later!

After Yang Yan was busy for the past two days, he hurried back to Yangcheng, and the entrance exam was about to start!
