Chapter 229: Heading to Zhuhai
Conception is a very long and difficult process, and in the summer season, Xia Wanyu's lower abdomen has been slightly raised, forming a small peak. She complained every day that she was fat and bulky. But how I listened to it, how I felt that there was a smell of happiness in her complaints. Pregnancy doesn't stop Xia Wanyu from remotely controlling her career, she needs to read some financial reports and documents every day.
These things also kill some boring time when pregnant, because Xia Wanyu is pregnant, the product research and development of Qingqing Innovation Company has been managed by Qingyu, and I am responsible for supervising it. At the beginning of the summer season, the first official product finally entered the trial period. We found 50 people all over the country through the Internet, delivered them all to their homes in person, installed them on them, and gave them a free trial.
However, the premise is that after the use is completed, all the problems encountered in the use process, the benefits encountered, etc., must be recorded and fed back to the company.
This is a series of products, including refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters, televisions, rice cookers, microwave ovens, electric heaters, etc. By adding a small electronic monitoring receiver to these appliances, all these appliances that would otherwise need to be manual can be automated and remotely controlled. In addition, a new generation of remote power-off switch has been developed, as long as this power switch is used, one-key power-off can be implemented through the APP.
Monitor everything in your home remotely.
It's not new, but we do have a competitive advantage. There are no intelligent electrical appliances in most families in China, most people use ordinary electrical appliances, and through the loading of electronic components, these unintelligent electrical appliances can be controlled by remote mobile phone APP, which is convenient for the public. Got this market, and the price of the product is definitely not expensive. It is only necessary to load a chip and a network receiver in the refrigerator to achieve the above description. A not-so-expensive electronic chip and a not-so-expensive network receiver cost only forty or fifty dollars.
Then build a network transmission website. It's easier to build a website, buy a blade server that is not too expensive, use an interactive transmission system, and then handle a sufficient traffic fiber to achieve a seamless connection around the world.
If a family uses all the remote controllable switches we have developed, it will be four or five hundred yuan more in the cost of home decoration. Compared to the thousands of renovation costs, these small sums of money are really not worth mentioning. But there is also a problem, because of the low cost of our things, the price is naturally low. While it can generate advantages, people buy our products, and franchisees also invest in our goods.
However, because the price is too low, the product cannot generate excessive profits. And there are many competitors in the national decoration market, and it is difficult for us to recover the cost for a while.
However, after careful consideration, I still think that this line of work can be profitable. What we are following now is the survival path of Xiaomi and 360. As we all know, Xiaomi's phones are cheap, but the configuration is top-of-the-line. And 360 has pioneered the wave of free antivirus software. But one of these two companies is currently the largest antivirus software company in China, while the other is the top mobile phone manufacturer in China. Xiaomi Mi 3 is pre-sold on the Internet, and 100,000 mobile phones are snatched up in dozens of seconds, and it is lucky to be able to grab one. When 360 was free back then, it was scolded by many people for going bankrupt soon, but 360 was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 11 years.
Although their models are different, they all have hidden mysteries. 360 gains a rare number of users through its control over antivirus software. Through users, a variety of software has been developed to occupy users' computers. Nowadays, all kinds of 360 products are emerging one after another, isn't it all based on the chain of antivirus software users?
Xiaomi, on the other hand, has also earned enough eyeballs at a low price. But the real move that Xiaomi is playing is not a mobile phone, but an electronic intelligence ecosystem. Xiaomi launched a 47-inch TV a few days ago, with perfect workmanship, and if this TV is put on the market, the price is definitely beyond imagination. But on Xiaomi's official website, it is only priced at 2999. Cheap does not mean that there are no good goods, but because Xiaomi is building an ecosystem.
With Xiaomi mobile phone, you can share the things on the mobile phone to the TV without any gaps.
Isn't this kind of feature a great feature when friends and family come to visit the house?
After attracting the user base at a low price, a fixed ecosystem is formed. As a result, they further promoted their other products, such as 360, which initially entered the user's computer with anti-virus software, and then developed into the current browser and dozens of other software monopolies.
And the real purpose of me and Qingyu is also to control the real-time information of household appliances through these remote control switches, understand which household appliances need to be updated, and then promote the electrical appliances they need according to these users and make money from them.
Of course, if we have the capital, we can also create our own home appliance brand. In this way, APP control is used to build a family ecosystem belonging to Innovation Factory, so as to make money. It's a long-term plan, and it's not easy to do. And we don't need to hire our own workers and set up factories to produce our products. We can find Foxconn and other companies to OEM, so that the cost and upfront investment can be greatly reduced.
Half a month later, all 50 investigators sent the trial report to us. Based on these reports, we have made further improvements and updates to the product. We sent the latest products to Xue Mingzhu in Zhuhai for her engineers to test and analyze the products.
Just two days later, Xue Mingzhu gave me a message and asked me to go to Zhuhai to discuss cooperation with her. That night, I was ecstatic. Being able to cooperate with this queen of home appliances proves that there is indeed a market and business opportunities for our products.
……
Two days later, Qingyu and I set off from Shanghai to Zhuhai with our products.
When the plane landed at Zhuhai Jinwan Airport, Qingyu and I stepped off the plane hand in hand. In Zhuhai in summer, the heat is pressing, but fortunately, Qingyu and I were prepared in advance, and the clothes were relatively cool, so as not to sweat. The sea breeze is blowing, and it feels pretty good.
Coming out of the airport, the two cars sent by Xue Mingzhu were already waiting outside. An Audi, a Lexus. Qingyu and I sat in Audi, and the person who came to pick us up was called Xie Dong, a cooperative manager of Xue Mingzhu Group, and he was sent by Mr. Xue to pick us up this time.
We were not hypocritical, and chatted with him calmly about the customs of Guangdong. Xie Dong said to us that when it was evening, he would take us to the beach for a seafood feast. The fish and shrimp are all freshly caught from the water, and Guangdong is the only one.
I didn't say anything because he forgot.
Shanghai also has a sea.
