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.
Funded the establishment of several laboratories in Leiyu Home Appliance Company, focusing on research on the improvement and intelligence of home appliances.
Then the research and development of the smart home control system was handed over to Leiyu Home Appliances and Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd. for joint research.
Third, the chip and processor of the smart controller will be jointly developed by Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. and Leiyu Home Appliances.
The three R&D lines are linked together. Once all R&D is completed, Leiyu Home Appliances will be able to launch preliminary smart homes, and even use smart controllers to unify the manufacturing standards within the smart home giant industry!
In the following time, he has been busy with this matter. Lu Zixin even contacted Xue Yao specifically and asked her not to be busy decorating the house. He planned to design a smart home system by himself and use it in his own house first.
During the period of research and development, several major subsidiaries of Hongxin have developed well. Hongxin Games, although the popularity of chicken-fighting mobile games and online games has dropped a lot, it has gradually developed other games and made considerable income by using Hongxin's game platform and online game accelerator.
Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd. uses cloud hosting. It has become a well-known network technology company. Basically, 70% of computers have a version of Red Letter Computer Manager installed. Just relying on the traffic dividend brought by its huge number of users, it can make more than one billion a year. This is the profit after deducting the R&D funds that Lu Zixin continues to invest in new projects.
Kunpeng Battery Factory uses relatively mature air battery technology and has an endless number of orders. Not only is the second factory under construction, but the construction plan for the third factory is also being prepared.
Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. itself has become the most profitable among these companies based on Hongxin smartphones alone. Not to mention the user traffic brought by smartphones continues to generate new sources of profit for Hongxin.
The only one that has not yet been ranked is Leiyu Home Appliances, and Lu Zixin is changing this situation.
The smart chip laboratory of Hongxin Electronic Technology Company has successfully researched chips for smart home appliance controllers. This kind of smart chip has a lower technical content than the chip of a smartphone. The only function it needs is to respond to the instructions of the smart home system.
With the chip, other related hardware and facilities are much easier to design. Soon, a "universal" smart home appliance controller was manufactured.
The entire controller is only about the size of an eraser, or even smaller. Its function is to be installed on any smart home appliance or home circuit network, so that smart home appliances of different brands and functions, or circuit network switches, can accept the unified management of the "smart home control center".
In the laboratory, Dai Liangcai is testing its function. In front of him were several commonly used smart home appliances. Smart switches, smart lights, smart TVs, smart refrigerators, and washing machines.
The manufacturers of these home appliances are different, and generally they can only achieve the "simple intelligence" of individual products. For example, a smart TV can be connected to an APP independently developed by the manufacturer, and the mobile phone can be used as a remote control.
Or the washing machine can set the washing process and clean automatically. In Lu Zixin's concept, this is not considered intelligence at all.
Now, workers add this compact smart controller to their critical lines or control centers.
On a simple version of the smart home control software on your mobile phone, the options for these home appliances are displayed, and you can click on them to control their respective functions.
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 bulbs light up in response.
"Laundry, time for half an hour, wash three times, spin dry once." After Dai Liangcai gave the order, the internal intelligent controller of the washing machine turned the instructions received from the mobile phone into electrical signals. An all-in-one machine that cannot understand voice instructions The washing machine actually started executing commands according to voice commands!
A staff member from Leiyu Home Appliances was surprised: "This is really turning decay into magic! A small controller is equivalent to installing a brain on the home appliance!"
Lu Zixin said: "These controllers are just simple signal receivers and converters. The real intelligent brain is Hongyun."
"That's quite amazing! Using this thing, different products can be connected to our smart home Internet of Things!" the staff member exclaimed.
Lu Zixin continued: "The cost of this controller in terms of materials and processing alone is less than 40 yuan. Adding the R&D cost and technology cost, the price can be controlled under 100 yuan for mass production."
"Such a civilian price allows it to be promoted on a wider scale and used in every home appliance that is smart enough."
"I have a hunch that it will definitely become a best-selling product! It will even be an indispensable component for home appliances in the future!" Dai Liangcai said.
"In this case, we can start selling it." Lu Zixin said, "This kind of smart controller must be installed by professional staff. For some old-fashioned electricity and household circuits, there is no way to install it. So it is directly popularized to It must be a bit troublesome for thousands of households.”
"Then first of all, our users are those home appliance manufacturers!"
"All major home appliance brands must install our smart controllers and use our Hongxin smart home control system! In this way, all new home appliances can be controlled intelligently, and smart homes can be truly successful."
"But those home appliances, will they agree to install our smart controllers in their home appliances?" someone asked.
"Now the home appliance market is already engaged in a price war. Adding an additional smart controller will be a huge expense for them, and they are afraid they are not willing to do so."
"Not willing?" Lu Zixin smiled softly and said, "Then just wait to be eliminated! Furthermore, intelligent products are naturally more expensive, and consumers should be able to accept it. After all, we have also invested a lot of research and development and production costs.”
"Now you go back to Magic City, report this matter to Mr. Su, and promote this smart controller to all major appliance brands on the market."
"Okay, I'll go back right now!" the staff of Leiyu Home Appliances said excitedly. With this weapon, why can Leiyu Home Appliances Company not be able to rise? During these days at Hongxin Electronic Technology Company, he could truly feel the power of Hongxin. Such an intelligent controller was successfully developed in a short period of time. It was simply too powerful!
