The promotion of smart controllers is not as smooth as expected. Leiyu Home Appliances has not announced this product to the public yet, but has first contacted several major appliance manufacturers to sell this product door-to-door.
For the development of the company, Su Xu even worked as a salesman himself and went to those companies. The first place he went to was Haier Group, which has been the No. 1 home appliance brand in China for more than ten consecutive years.
Haier Group not only has many domestic users, but its products are also exported overseas and are well-known around the world.
Su Xu brought 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 admired you for a long time." In the reception room, Haier's executive vice president Tao Shuyi shook hands with Su Xu and said with a smile: "I heard that Hongxin has invested in Leiyu Appliances, and Mr. Su has become the CEO. Leiyu Appliances will have great achievements in the future! "
Su Xu showed a smile and said: "Compared to Haier Group, we are just a pony and can only catch up."
Tao Shuyi followed his words and said, "You are directly researching smart homes. Are you preparing to overtake others in a corner?"
The two laughed and entered the formal conversation. Su Xu personally introduced the latest intelligent controller of Leiyu Home Appliances to Tao Shuyi.
He said: "Haier Group is one of the largest home appliance companies in China. You have hundreds of products. From large home appliances to small home appliances, the coverage is very wide."
"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 !”
When it came to this, Tao Shuyi was also very interested and personally installed 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 smart controllers can turn an ordinary home appliance into a "smart home appliance", directly raising the level of home appliances by several levels!
Su Xu asked tentatively: "Mr. Tao, what do you think of this product?"
Tao Shuyi did not answer directly, but said: "Mr. Su, are you not in a hurry for a day or two? I still have to discuss it with the other bosses."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine in these two days." Su Xu said.
Haier Group also held a small meeting to discuss the matter of intelligent controllers. Everyone agreed that this was a very creative and creative product.
However, there are differences on whether to buy Leiyu Electric’s smart controller.
Tao Shuyi said: "I think it is necessary to buy some of our products. As long as this intelligent controller is added, the intelligence will be greatly improved immediately, which greatly improves product competitiveness and improves our products." New ecological smart home system.”
A vice president objected: "I think such smart controllers are not high in technical content. Our Hier Group has more than a dozen large research centers around the world, and we can develop it ourselves. There is no need to buy their products. "
Several colleagues agreed, but the head of the technical department frowned and said: "We have already started trying to research this kind of intelligent controller. However, it has not reached their current technical level, and we may not be able to research it soon. come out."
"You can make a compromise and study the samples they provide, try it out by the way, and add this kind of smart controller to some products to see the actual feedback."
…
Su Xu got a reply from Haier Group, and they agreed to purchase a small number of smart controllers. Basically, they are staying on the sidelines. If they can figure it out themselves, this purchase agreement will definitely be terminated soon.
However, Su Xu was not worried at all, because the core chip of the smart controller was developed by Hongxin Electronics, and it would not be easy for them to figure it out.
Furthermore, the smart controller is only an auxiliary means. The core of the smart home is the smart home control system!
This control system will include remote control, telephone remote control, timing control, centralized control, scene control, network remote control, whole-house mobile phone control... especially Hongyun's intelligent voice control system!
Without Hongyun Intelligent Voice, no matter how good the intelligent controller is, it cannot achieve truly humanized intelligent effects! The Hongyun smart home voice control system will be firmly in the hands of Hongxin Group.
At that time, these home appliance groups will find that they still have to rely on Hongxin. Unless their level of artificial intelligence can exceed that of Red Letter.
Su Xu visited major electrical appliance companies and some home appliance sales platforms one by one, and received different responses.
Meidi Group directly rejected the intelligent controller of Leiyu Home Appliances. They believe that they can also manufacture such products. Not only that, their own company has its own smart home control system, so they do not want to use the smart home system that Leiyu Appliances promised to launch.
And they also considered that if all their home appliances use the smart home system of Leiyu Home Appliances, will the users be 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 Leiyu Home Appliances.
The Li 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 clearly rejected him.
"With all due respect, this smart controller of yours is actually a burden. Our smart home appliances can already connect to wireless networks, so there is no need to make extra efforts." Zhu Xing said.
"Mr. Zhu, we are making this smart controller. The goal is to unify smart home appliances of different brands and use them on the same smart home network." Su Xu explained, "You also know that a family cannot only Using one brand of smart home appliances results in the fact that smart home appliances are never fully connected into a unified intelligent management system.”
"We're here to solve this problem."
Zhu Xing smiled and said: "There is competition between different brands, and production and intelligence standards are different. It is too difficult to connect to an intelligent management system."
"And you should know that Lianxiang has united hundreds of related companies, including domestic and foreign companies, to formulate a relatively unified standard. I think their standards are far more credible and influential than your smart controllers Much stronger."
"We will re-customize this standard!" Su Xu said confidently, "If you join now, we want to be one of the first companies to enjoy the smart home management system."
Zhu Xing still shook his head, not moved at all. In his opinion, in the field of home appliances, Leiyu Home Appliances is really not good enough. The development of standards? This is not something a small company like them can afford. Even with the support of Hongxin Group, can Hongxin Group compare with them in the field of home appliances
