Hearing Lu Zixin's words, Nie Guanglin's heart trembled. Hongxin was a real big shot to be able to say this so easily! Thunderstorm Home Appliances had been established for more than ten years, and the total amount of research and development funds invested was not more than a third of this amount!
Lu Zixin continued, "The laboratory will also be built. First is the laboratory for smart home appliances. We will build a new smart laboratory for all of Thunderstorm Home Appliances' main home appliances.
"Not only that, we will also build a research center for smart home systems. It will specialize in the core control system of smart home appliances. In this regard, Hongxin Software Development Company will cooperate with Thunderstorm Home Appliances.
"We will become the industry benchmark in this field and set the national, and even the world, smart home standards!"
…
After Lu Zixin finished speaking, no one present had any objections. Now that they had the funds and the technology would be Hongxin's help, if they did not develop any results, it would be a waste of these resources!
Even Nie Guanglin was full of fighting spirit and said, "I originally thought that I could retire after a few more years. Now that General Lu has said this, I want to follow suit. I'm looking forward to how far Thunderstorm Home Appliances can go! "
Su Xu said, "All of these require our efforts. I hope that in the coming days, we can work together and rely on Hongxin to become the trendsetter of the era!"
Just like that, Thunderstorm Home Appliances officially became a member of Hongxin Group.
Hongxin Company officially announced this news and attracted a lot of attention in the industry. They also announced, "Hongxin will work with Thunderstorm Home Appliances to create the strongest and most intelligent smart home appliances, and let intelligence enter everyone's daily lives!"
"Hongxin is really going to make home appliances? Isn't it too late to enter the game? "Some companies in the home appliance industry were puzzled.
"They said that they want to make a smart home? The direction is not bad, but Thunderstorm Home Appliances' foundation is too thin. I don't think there will be any results in the short term. "
"Just watch. Hongxin has a lot of money now, let them invest."
"Let's wait and see what Hong Xin does."
Everyone was waiting and watching. After all, the concept of smart home appliances was not proposed for one or two years, but at most, they made individual appliances more intelligent. For example, smart switches, televisions, air conditioners, or cleaning robots. It was very difficult to create a smart home.
He wondered what changes Hongxin's involvement would bring to the entire industry.
Meanwhile, some big companies expressed their doubts about Hongxin's statement.
For example, the former CEO of Qualcomm Technologies had publicly stated that Qualcomm Technologies was the leader of the smart home industry in China. This was because they had the strongest R&D capabilities and were the closest to achieving this goal.
Even with the support of Hongxin Group, Thunderstorm Home Appliances could only catch up to Dili!
The Kaili company had just set up a new retail industry, which included home appliances. The CEO also said that Keli Company was at the forefront of the smart home industry. They would lead the industry to find a new direction for smart home products and set Keli standards.
Jingdong's CEO, who often appeared in the media like Keli Company, also said that Jingdong would introduce more smart home appliances and improve the Jingdong smart home system.
Tian Xiangshan from Da Mi Company even joked on his Weibo, saying that Hongxin Company really had an affinity with them. Whatever Da Mi was doing, Hongxin was doing the same.
In the face of these competitors' declarations, Su Xu was under a lot of pressure. To be honest, he only knew how to manage. In terms of R&D, he still had to rely on professional researchers. However, he wasn't sure about Hongxin's R&D capabilities.
After all, Hongxin had previously researched smartphones. They probably didn't know much about the home appliance industry.
As for Lu Zixin, since he had made the smart home plan, of course, he had to lay the foundation for it so that it could grow quickly and expand the smart home market.
In the Wanjie Technology chat group, Lu Zixin directly Red Queen and said, "Red Queen, are you there?"
In less than half a second, Red Queen appeared. As usual, it was an emoticon. "(Emoticon: I have stopped working. Please charge first if you have something to do. Please charge another 100 yuan for the internet fee if you have something to do.)"
Mr. L: "(Emoticon: Network administrator, help me add an hour.)"
Red Queen: "(Emoticon: Ding, device 1 has been charged successfully. Red Queen is activating.)"
After another three seconds, she said, "Group leader, I'm alive. Why did you @ me? Are you going to give me a red packet? (Emoticon: I'm looking forward to it.) "
Mr. L: "We'll talk about the red packet later. Right now, I want to discuss a serious topic with you."
Red Queen: "(Green hat emoticon: Group leader, I was wrong. Sister-in-law voluntarily added me!)"
Mr. L: "Where on earth did you learn these things? If someone else sent this emoticon, believe it or not, I'd slap them to death in minutes! "
Red Queen: "(Evil smile emoticon: Hehehe.)"
"Okay, back to the topic!" Lu Zixin stopped the discussion in time because he didn't know how many green hat emoticons there were in the Red Queen's emoticon library.
"I'm looking for you to ask about the smart home. Umbrella Corporation should have these technologies, right? "
Red Queen: "Of course. Smart home, smart office, smart travel … they have all these. Of course, I'm the best! (Emoticon: Smart big boss!) "
Mr. L: "We're just talking about the smart home now. I've invested in an appliance company. Most of their products are very outdated. Individual appliances can't be smart, and the smart home management system is very simple. "
Lu Zixin explained some of the situation in detail so that the Red Queen could roughly understand the development of the technology.
Red Queen: "(Emoticon: Sigh) These appliances are too outdated. They're still stuck at the level of human body movements. At the very least, every smart appliance, from the home theater, pool control, air conditioning, air purification, to the small switches, lighting, surveillance, and security, should have a smart chip and wireless connection device in them. "
"Only in this way can they be connected to a smart home management system and achieve smart functions at will."
Mr. L: "This can't be done for the time being. I can't develop dozens of smart products in one go."
What the Red Queen mentioned covered a wide range of areas. From switches and light bulbs to large appliances and house monitoring management, temperature adjustment, and so on, there were probably hundreds or thousands of smart products.
How could Thunderstorm Corporation develop so many things? Right now, their own home appliances weren't even smart yet!
Red Queen: "If that's the case, then we need a standardized smart controller. So that the smart devices can be connected to a physical network through this controller, then develop a central smart home management system to coordinate and control these appliances intelligently. "
