These technical data are closely related to each other and are indispensable. Without one of them, the other two are of little use.

So Lu Zixin decided to develop the three technologies together.

Invested money to set up several laboratories in the Leiyu Household Appliance Company, mainly to study the improvement and intelligence of household appliances.

Then the research and development of the smart home control system was handed over to Leiyu Household Appliances and Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd. for joint research.

Third, the chips and processors of intelligent controllers are developed by Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. and Leiyu Household Appliances.

The three R&D lines are linked together, and when all R&D is completed, Thunderstorm Appliances will be able to launch a preliminary smart home, and even use the intelligent controller to unify the production and manufacturing standards in the smart home giant industry!

For the rest of the day, he was busy with this matter. Lu Zixin even contacted Xue Yao and asked her not to be busy decorating the house, he planned to design a set of intelligent home systems by himself, and the first one would be used in his own house.

During this period of research and development, several subsidiaries of Hongxin have developed well. Hongxin Games, although the popularity of chicken mobile games and online games has decreased a lot, but it has gradually developed other games, using Hongxin's game platform and online game accelerator, and there is also a lot of income.

Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd., with the help of cloud hosts. It has become a well-known network technology company, and basically 70% of the computers will install a Hongxin computer manager. Relying on the traffic dividend brought by the huge number of users, it can make a profit of more than one billion a year, which is still the profit after deducting Lu Zixin's continuous investment in R&D funds in new projects.

Kunpeng Battery Factory, using relatively mature air-conditioning battery technology, has too many orders to complete. Not only the second plant is under construction, but even the construction plan of the third plant is also being prepared.

Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. itself, relying on Hongxin smartphones alone, has become the most profitable among these companies. Not to mention the user traffic brought by smartphones, which continues to generate new sources of profit for Hongxin.

The only thing that hasn't been lined up now is thunderstorm appliances, and Lu Zixin is changing this situation.

In the intelligent chip laboratory of Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., the chip of the smart home appliance controller has been successfully researched. This kind of smart chip is less technical than the chip of smart phones, and the function it needs is only to respond to the instructions of the smart home system.

With chips, other related hardware and facilities are much easier to design. Soon, a "universal" smart home appliance controller was manufactured.

The controller is the size of an eraser, or even smaller. Its function is to install on any smart home appliance or home circuit network, so that smart home appliances of different brands and functions, or circuit network switches, accept the unified management of the "smart home control center".

In the laboratory, Dai Liangcai is testing its function. In front of him, there are several commonly used smart home appliances. Smart switches, smart lights, smart TVs and smart refrigerators, washing machines.

The manufacturers of these home appliances are different, and under normal circumstances, they can only achieve the "simple intelligence" of individual products. For example, smart TV is connected to the APP developed separately by the manufacturer, and the mobile phone is used as a remote control.

Or the washing machine can set the washing process and wash it automatically. In Lu Zixin's concept, this is not intelligent at all.

Now, the staff has added this small smart controller to their critical lines or control centers.

On a simple version of the smart home control software on the mobile phone, the options of these home appliances are displayed, and they have their own controllable functions when you click in.

Dai Liangcai activated the Hongyun intelligent voice assistant and ordered: "Turn on the lights." ”

Hongyun automatically executes voice commands to help users run the software, and the light bulb lights up in response.

"Laundry, half an hour, wash three times, spin dry once. After Dai Liangcai's instructions were issued, the internal intelligent controller of the washing machine turned the instructions received from the mobile phone into electrical signals, and an integrated washing machine that could not understand voice commands actually began to execute the command according to the voice command!

A staff member from Thunderstorm Home Appliances was amazed: "This is really turning decay into magic! A small controller is equivalent to installing a brain on a home appliance!"

Lu Zixin said: "These controllers are just simple signal receivers and converters. The real brain is still a red cloud. ”

"That's pretty remarkable! With this thing, different products can be connected to our smart home Internet of Things!" said the staff.

Lu Zixin continued: "This controller, in terms of materials and processing costs alone, is less than 40 yuan. Coupled with R&D costs and technical costs, the price can be controlled below 100 yuan for large-scale production. ”

Such a civilian price can allow it to be promoted on a larger scale and used in every smart enough home appliance product. ”

"I have a hunch that it will definitely become a best-selling product, and even an indispensable component for home appliances in the future!" Dai Liangcai said.

"In that case, you can start selling. Lu Zixin said, "This kind of intelligent controller can only be installed by professional staff." For some old-fashioned old appliances and home circuits, there is no way to install them. So it must be a bit troublesome to directly popularize it to thousands of households. ”

"Then first of all, our users are those home appliance manufacturers!"

"All major home appliance brands must install our smart controller and use our Hongxin's smart home control system! In this way, all new home appliances can be intelligently controlled, and smart home can be regarded as a real success. ”

"But those appliances, will they agree to install our smart controllers in their home appliances?" someone asked.

"Now the home appliance market is already fighting a price war, adding an additional intelligent controller, for them, is a huge expense, they are afraid of unwillingness. ”

"Don't want to?" Lu Zixin smiled lightly and said: "Then wait to be eliminated! Moreover, intelligent products, of course, are sold a little more expensive, and consumers should be able to accept them." After all, we also pay huge R&D and production costs. ”

"Now you will go back to the magic capital, report this matter to Mr. Su, and promote this smart controller to all major appliance brands on the market. ”

"Okay, I'll go back!" The staff of Thunderstorm Household Appliances said excitedly, with this sharp weapon, why can't Thunderstorm Household Appliances Company rise? In these days of staying in Hongxin Electronic Technology Company, he can really feel the strength of Hongxin, such an intelligent controller, actually in a short period of time to develop successfully, it is too strong!
