The promotion of intelligent controllers has not been as smooth as imagined. Thunderstorm Appliances has not yet announced this product to the public, but first contacted several major appliance manufacturers to promote this product.

For the development of the company, Su Xu even worked as a salesman himself and went to those companies. The first thing he went to was Haier Group, which has been the No. 1 domestic home appliance brand for more than ten consecutive years.

Haier Group not only has many users in China, but also sells its products overseas, which is well-known in the world.

Su Xu took the newly developed smart home appliance "universal controller" to the headquarters of Haier Group, and an executive vice president received him.

"Mr. Su, I've been looking up for a long time. In the reception room, Tao Shuyi, the executive vice president of Haier, shook hands with Su Xu and said with a smile: "I heard that Hongxin has invested in Thunderstorm Appliances, and Mr. Su has become the CEO again, and Thunderstorm Appliances will make great achievements in the future!"

Su Xu showed a smile and said, "Compared to Haier Group, we are just a pony, and we can only catch up. ”

Tao Shuyi followed his words and said, "You are directly studying smart home, are you preparing to overtake in corners?"

The two laughed and entered the formal topic. Su Xu personally introduced the latest intelligent controller of thunderstorm appliances to Tao Shuyi.

He said: "Haier Group is one of the largest home appliance companies in China, and you have hundreds of products. From large appliances to small appliances, it covers a wide range of applications. ”

"If these major home appliances are installed with our smart controllers and connected to the smart home management system, then it can become a complete and complete smart home system! This will greatly increase your brand competitiveness and expand the market!"

Referring to this, Tao Shuyi was also very interested, and personally asked people to install some smart controllers for home appliances to experience their effects.

"It's not simple, it's not simple!" Tao Shuyi immediately realized the huge potential, these intelligent controllers can turn an ordinary household appliance into a "smart home appliance", which directly improves the grade of the household appliance by several levels!

Su Xu asked tentatively: "Mr. Tao, what do you think of this product?"

Tao Shuyi didn't answer directly, but said: "Mr. Su, aren't you in a hurry for a day or two, right? ”

"Don't worry, it's okay for these two days. Su Xu said.

The matter of intelligent controllers, Haier Group also held a small meeting to discuss it. Everyone agreed that it was a very creative and creative product.

However, on whether to buy the intelligent controller of thunderstorm electrical appliances, everyone has disagreements.

Tao Shuyi said: "I think there is a need to buy, some of our products, as long as this intelligent controller is added, intelligence can immediately improve a lot, greatly improve the competitiveness of products, but also improve our new ecological smart home system." ”

A vice president objected: "I think such an intelligent controller is not high in terms of technical content. We have more than a dozen large-scale research centers around the world, which can be developed by ourselves. There is no need to buy their products. ”

Several colleagues agreed, but the head of the technical department frowned: "We have been trying this kind of research on intelligent controllers for a long time. However, it has not reached their current level of technology, and it may not be possible to research it quickly. ”

"You can compromise and study the samples they provide, and try it out by the way, and add this smart controller to some of their products and see the actual feedback. ”

......

Su Xu got a reply from Haier Group, and they agreed to buy a small part of the smart controller. It's basically a wait-and-see mode, and if they can figure it out themselves, this purchase agreement will definitely be terminated soon.

However, Su Xu is not worried at all, because the core chip of the intelligent controller is researched by Hongxin Electronics, and they want to find out, but they are afraid that it will not be easy.

Moreover, the intelligent controller is only an auxiliary means, the core of the smart home, or the smart home control system!

This control system will include remote control, telephone remote control, timing control, centralized control, scene control, network remote control, and whole house mobile phone control...... Especially the intelligent voice control system of Hongyun!

Detached from the red cloud intelligent voice, no matter how good the intelligent controller is, it can not achieve the real humanized intelligent effect! The red cloud smart home voice control system will be firmly in the hands of the red letter group.

When the time comes, these home appliance groups will find that they still have to rely on red letters. Unless their level of artificial intelligence can surpass that of Red Letter.

Su Xu visited those major appliance companies and some home appliance sales platforms one by one, and the replies he got were different.

Meidi Group directly rejected the intelligent controller of Thunderstorm Home Appliances. They believe that they can also manufacture such a product, and not only that, but their own company has its own smart home control system, so they don't want to use the smart home system that Thunderstorm Appliances promises to launch.

And they also take into account that if their home appliances are using the smart home system of thunderstorm appliances, then the user is loyal to their brand or the smart home system? It is likely to be a smart home system, and the market initiative will be in the hands of thunderstorm appliances.

Geli Group is also a home appliance group whose performance and market value have been rising in recent years. Their current CEO, Zhu Xing, spoke directly to Su Xu and rejected him with a clear attitude.

"With all due respect, this smart controller of yours is actually a burden. Our smart home appliances can be connected to wireless networks and don't need to do anything else. Zhu Xing said.

"Mr. Zhu, we make this intelligent controller. The goal is to unify the standards of different brands of smart home appliances and use them on the same smart home network. Su Xu explained, "You also know that it is impossible for a family to use only one brand of smart home appliances. As a result, smart home appliances can never be fully connected into a unified intelligent management system. ”

"That's what we're here to do. ”

Zhu Xing smiled and said, "There is competition between different brands, and the production and intelligence standards are different. It's too difficult to connect to an intelligent management system. ”

"And you should know that Lianxiang has united hundreds of related enterprises, including domestic and foreign companies, to develop a relatively unified standard. I think their standards are far stronger than the credibility and influence of your intelligent controllers. ”

"We're going to redefine this standard!" Su Xu confidently said, "If we join now, we want to be one of the first companies to enjoy a smart home management system." ”

Zhu Xing still shook his head, not moved at all. In his opinion, in the field of home appliances, thunderstorm appliances are really not enough. Setting standards? It's not something a small company like theirs can afford. Even if Hongxin Group is behind it, can Hongxin Group compare with them in the field of home appliances?
