Sure enough, what foreign car manufacturers were worried about happened. On the day after the Shenlong Automobile Company's press conference, new cars with car navigation functions were immediately launched. There was a rush to buy them immediately. If it was just a temporary trend, they would not be convinced. Worry.
But in the next half month, many consumers who wanted to buy cars lined up at Shenlong Automobile Company's 4S stores every day. This phenomenon only aroused the interest of consumers who did not originally intend to buy Shenlong Automobiles. , it has become a phenomenon of blindly following the trend, just like the launch of new Apple phones in later generations.
During this period of time, international automobile manufacturers felt that their lives were like a year, just watching the sales of Shenlong Automobile Company's cars.
This means that even if a car with car navigation function is launched in the future, a large part of the market will be occupied by Shenlong Automobile Company. After all, cars are durable goods and cannot be replaced in one or two years.
It's not like they haven't looked for semiconductor companies, but they were all rejected because of insufficient production. If they needed to order, they would have to wait until half a year later. This was not an excuse from the semiconductor companies. Their production capacity was indeed taken over by Polaris, and Polaris The company is also making every effort to supply Shenlong Motors.
They still don’t know that the navigator of Shenlong Automobile Company is actually a product provided by Polaris Company, so they are still waiting for the supply of navigation chips from the semiconductor company, and they are also starting to design their own new car with navigator function. It has only been like this for half a year. After that, the day lilies were probably cold.
Just when they were at a loss, Polaris announced that it had developed car navigation and personal navigation equipment and was about to hold a new product launch conference.
This news made those international manufacturers feel as if they heard a fairy voice, and the stone in their hearts dropped a little.
Why can't it be completely implemented? Because Polaris's navigator is an independent product, which means that to buy their car, you need to buy a navigator independently. Users need to pay an extra amount of money. You must know that the price of a navigator product is certain when it is first launched. It won't be cheap.
Precisely because it is an independent navigator, consumers are willing to pay such an extra sum of money for their car products. Except for die-hard fans, I guess even those with a little bit of brains are not willing to pay this amount of money themselves.
It is better to buy a car from Shenlong Automobile Company. The quality of the car is not only better than theirs, but it also has free navigation function. This is a question that normal people will make the right choice.
If their own car needs to integrate a navigation system, they must redesign the car. Even if the appearance does not need to be redesigned, the interior space also needs to be redesigned, which will take about half a year.
This period of time has been like a year for them. This is under the premise that they purchased the car navigator from Polaris Company. If they develop their own navigator, it will take several years.
A navigator is not just a hardware device, but also requires map software. You must know that when the Beidou satellite navigation system was first decided to launch, Zhao Yi asked Fanxing Software to conduct map research.
He even gave part of the algorithm to Fanxing Software Company. In this year, he not only used the ground remote sensing satellite just launched by Future Space Technology Company, but also conducted road surveys in various countries around the world.
Of course, not all countries allow road and map surveys, so map remote sensing satellites are needed.
It can be said that the remote sensing satellites of Future Space Technology Company were developed at about the same time as the communication satellites. In order to increase the shooting accuracy, they used a lot of advanced technologies, otherwise they would not have been launched a few months later than the communication satellites.
With the pictures taken by remote sensing satellites, and some additional information purchased or investigated by ourselves, each road is marked with a name, and then using its own map image analysis software, these satellite pictures are converted into usable navigation maps.
Therefore, navigation maps are not so easy to produce, especially since various countries have relevant regulations prohibiting foreign companies from conducting map surveying. After all, this does involve national security.
Let these car companies develop their own products. I don’t know how long it will take just to conduct navigation map mapping.
Regardless of whether they can make it in time, Polaris' car navigation equipment is the fastest way for them to produce their own cars with navigation functions.
So at the Polaris press conference, there were not only reporters and loyal audiences of Polaris, but also representatives from major automobile companies.
They attended this press conference, firstly, to learn more about the level of Polaris's navigators, and secondly, after the press conference, they could reach relevant cooperation matters with Polaris as soon as possible.
The press conference of Polaris Company was held at the Shenzhen headquarters. Although their navigator products are also targeted at individual users, they have many sales channels. Through the channels of trading companies, you can instantly have your personal navigator products sold all over the world. The world's major auto parts markets and large electronics sales markets.
There is no need to worry about car navigators, which account for the majority of navigators. It can be seen from the car company representatives who came to participate in the product launch that they are actually much more anxious than Polaris Company, so Polaris Company is more confident. There is no need to go abroad to hold new product launch conferences.
The world is so wonderful. The priority changes completely depending on whether the other party needs you more. If the other party needs you more, then you will definitely occupy a dominant position and have a certain degree of dominance, and vice versa.
Now it is those car companies that need Polestar more, so it is understandable that Polestar will be more willful.
When the scheduled time for the new product launch conference arrived, Zhang Ruimin, the president of Polaris Company, stood calmly on the stage of the conference. Looking at the dark group of people below, he raised his hand to signal them to be quiet.
He said: "Polaris has been established for nearly three years, and during these three years, we have gained countless consumer recognitions, which we have always been proud of.
When we originally planned to develop our own TV, we found that this kind of bulky and heavy product was not what our company needed, and it was definitely not what consumers needed.
The reason why consumers still buy those big, stupid TVs is because they have no choice. Do we have to force consumers to buy the products we develop? I don’t think so.
So we researched whether there is a technology that can make TVs thinner and lighter. Fortunately, we found LCD technology. We feel that they are completely in line with our product concept.
So we invested a lot of manpower and material resources in order to provide our consumers with a unique TV product. Fortunately, we lived up to expectations.
With the success of LCD screen technology, we not only produce thin and light TV products, but also realize our laptop products. At the same time, desktop computers get rid of the original CRT monitor. It can be said that LCD liquid crystal display technology is A cross-generational screen technology that they will use more extensively in other fields.
Although we have brought a revolutionary product to the world, we are not satisfied with this, but use our spirit of innovation and research and development.
As a consumer electronics company, when my son showed me a Walkman, I found that this product did not meet my aesthetics. Can we develop a lighter and more advanced product
When I told this idea to my colleagues in our company, they were also confused until we were attracted by a photo of a flying saucer and found that the shape of the flying saucer has an unparalleled beauty, so our product concept was born, and combined with our The company's CD-ROM technology allows the two to achieve a perfect integration.
Facts have proved that our persistence was right, which can be seen from the number of CD player purchases by consumers around the world. Later, we also developed a series of products, especially other home appliances.
Although we are the best among our peers in terms of product quality and power consumption, we have not achieved a major breakthrough and have not given consumers a refreshing feeling.
Have we given up on our unique innovation? I don’t think so. Now let’s take a look at our new products, which can give you a refreshing feeling.
The first is our bladeless fan. Now the bladeless fan is available. Our bladeless fan uses technology from jet aircraft engines and automobile turbocharging. It can use smaller flowing air to drive large air flow. Achieve energy saving effect.
Before the launch of this product, we actually had such a product, but because the wind speed driven was small, if the wind speed was increased, the power would need to be increased, and the energy-saving effect would be greatly reduced.
It is precisely because of this defect that we did not bring this product to the market. The products we push to consumers must reach our ideal state.
In order to solve this problem, we experimented countless times and adopted various methods. Finally, not long ago, we made this product that reaches our ideal state.
Under the same wind power, they save one third of energy than blade fans, and are quieter than blade fans. At the same time, they are safer than blade fans, especially for families with children. I think this is an indispensable feature. product.
In addition to this bladeless fan, the second product at today's product launch is our fresh air system.
You may have used our air conditioning products, or even our central air conditioning products, but air conditioning products can only maintain a constant temperature, but they cannot guarantee that the indoor air will always be as good as new.
When we became aware of the problem, that's when I started solving it.
So there is this fresh air system, which can also be called a thermostatic ventilator with heat recovery air filtration. It not only has the function of maintaining a constant temperature of an air conditioner, but also can discharge indoor hot air, reduce the energy consumption of maintaining a constant temperature environment, and also It can filter the air sent into the room, making the indoor air always fresh.
This set of equipment will be a must-have for every office building or hotel, and is also a must-have for various densely populated indoor environments. Of course, individual families who have the conditions can also use this set of equipment, allowing you to live in the big city every day. in nature. "(End of chapter)
