Chapter 176: Young People Be Humble
Su Zhirong frowned slightly, and asked, "Why is this?"
Su Xu said: "The product function is insufficient, and another is that we in Huaxia still have the habit of using smart homes. β
"Last year, Amazon Echo smart speaker sales in the North American market exceeded 10 million units, which is comparable to the sales of smartphones and computers! β
"In the United States, some families regard smart speakers as a necessity like smartphones, but the market demand for this kind in our country has not opened. β
Lu Zixin said: "The product function limits its development. β
To be honest, at the level of Xiaoyu smart speaker, he won't buy it, the performance is too poor.
This is also related to the development of smart home appliances! There is no unified standard for domestic household appliances. Some families buy smart speakers, but they don't have smart TVs, refrigerators, switches, and air conditioners that can be connected and managed. Su Xu was also very helpless when he said it.
"Anyway, it's definitely to be done. To be a business, we must be forward-looking, and if we can't develop now, it doesn't mean that we can't do it in the future. I don't plan to take a break for the Chinese New Year this year, and urge them to improve the product as soon as possible. Wait until the next shareholder meeting to convince them to continue with the project. β
On the side, Su Xiaomeng interjected: "Dad, you've been tinkering for two years, and you haven't seen how powerful this smart speaker has become." It's better to ask your brother-in-law for help, and it will be solved for you in minutes!"
Su Xiaomeng gave Su Xu a critical blow, and he said with a dark face: "Child, what do you know?"
Seeing this, Lu Zixin said: "Actually, in terms of voice interaction and intelligent information processing, I can really help." β
"You?" Su Xu looked at him questioningly, he knew that Lu Zixin was a high-level member of Hongxin and had a lot of money. But I don't know anything about him and the other aspects of the red letter.
"Do you understand this?" he asked.
"Understand. I also participated in the development of our Hongxin intelligent voice assistant. Lu Zixin said.
Su Xu still didn't believe it, he had asked Lu Zixin about his academic qualifications before, and it was average. His so-called participation in the development should be the kind in name, and he doesn't know much about technology.
Su Zhirong said: "Yes, Dad, if you have any questions, you can ask Lu Zixin directly." β
"No need. Su Xu didn't believe it, and he was an elder, and he had to ask his son-in-law, which was a loss of identity.
At this time, Liu Rui said: "Hongxin their intelligence, what is it called Hongyun voice assistant, it is very powerful." Why don't you let Xiao Lu go with you?"
She asked Lu Zixin again and said, "Xiao Lu, do you have time?"
"Yes, I've been staying in the magic capital for the past few days. Lu Zixin nodded.
Su Xu was suspicious, but he had been tormented by this troublesome matter for too long, thinking that maybe Lu Zixin could really give a little advice, so it was better to bring it and learn about this son-in-law's ability at that time.
He still asked cautiously: "This, it doesn't involve your company's secrets, right?"
"It's okay, I'm measured. Lu Zixin naturally won't give them the company's confidential information, just help them solve a few problems, it's enough for them.
"Okay, then you can come with me to the company now. Su Xu said immediately.
"I'm going too!" Su Xiaomeng shouted.
"Don't make a mess, stay at home. Su Zhirong shouted, "Later, we will go out with my mother to buy some New Year's goods." β
β¦β¦
Lu Zixin went to Thunderstorm Household Appliances Co., Ltd. with Su Xu, and after more than a while, they arrived at the place.
In the building of Thunderstorm Household Appliances Co., Ltd., as soon as Su Xu entered, the employees greeted him one after another, "Mr. Su is good." β
Seeing the young man following behind Su Xu, they were still very curious, they seemed to have never seen each other, could it be a customer?
When he got on the elevator, Su Xu also met an acquaintance. The man was about the same age as him, and the nameplate on his chest read: Lei Yu Appliances, Vice President, Cai Yun.
"Old Su, aren't you going home?" Cai Yun said in surprise.
"Had a meal and came back to see the project. Su Xu replied simply.
Hearing Su Xu's answer, Cai Yun smiled and said, "Old Su, you still don't want to give up! This project was discussed in our last meeting, and it will be cut down after the next year." β
"I know you've put a lot of effort into it, but the project won't work out, and the shareholders won't agree. R&D costs too much, I can wait for the smart home appliance market in the Huaxia market to open, and then it's not too late to invest. β
Su Xu disagreed with his point of view and said: "Now the big home appliance brands are doing smart homes, as well as Keli, Jingdong, rice, and companies in other fields such as Lianxiang, have also set foot in it. If we do it late, it will be detrimental to the development prospects. β
Cai Yun disagreed, and said: "There is no need to study it yourself. It's not enough to act directly as a foreign brand,Now the performance of smart speakers in North America is better than that of our Huaxiaγ β
Su Xu shook his head and said, "Which agent is so simple? β
Cai Yun couldn't convince him, so he simply changed the topic and asked, "By the way, who is this?"
Su Xun introduced: "The girl's boyfriend, who is also in business, took him to visit our company. β
"Oh. What a talent. Cai Yun said politely, and Lu Zixin also responded to him simply.
Soon, they arrived at the department that developed smart speakers. Seeing Su Xu come in, everyone was accustomed to it, Mr. Su worked longer than these employees, and he could be said to be a model of dedication in the whole company.
"Lao Xia, Xiao Wan, come here. Su Xu ordered two people, only to see a middle-aged man and a young man about the same age as Lu Zixin coming over.
Su Xu introduced to Lu Zixin, "Lao Xia, Xia Ankang, the director of our Xiaoyu smart speaker R&D department, has rich experience, and has worked in the field of smart home appliances for more than ten years!"
"This is Wan Yongzhi, a high-achieving student who came back from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and worked as a graduate student in a foreign speech intelligence laboratory, and his level is also very good. β
"You and they can talk about technical issues. β
Su Xu said, looking at Lu Zixin. Until now, he is still very skeptical of Lu Zixin's words, and when Lu Zixin criticized this smart speaker before, he was dissatisfied. Later, the two daughters and his wife thought that Hongxin's skills were higher than their thunderstorm level, and he felt a little awkward.
Since Lu Zixin volunteered to help, let him see that Lei Yu's research and development level is not low! When he came up, he put two expert-level talents for Lu Zixin and gave Lu Zixin a dismissal. Even if Lu Zixin is a little level, I believe that these two people will definitely be able to suppress him in terms of professional knowledge. Let him know that young people still have to know how to be humble!
