These technologies are closely related to each other, and none of them can be missing. Without one of the technologies, the other two technologies are useless.
That's why Lu Zixin decided to develop all three technologies together.
Feng Yu will invest in Thunderstorm Home Appliances to set up a few laboratories to research the improvement and intelligence of home appliances.
After that, Feng Yu will let Thunderstorm Home Appliances and Hongxin Software to develop the smart home control system.
Thirdly, Hongxin Electronics and Thunderstorm Home Appliances will develop the smart home control system's chips and processors together.
When all three R&D lines are completed, Thunderstorm Home Appliances will be able to launch the initial smart home. They can even use the smart home control system to unify the manufacturing standards of the smart home industry!
Feng Yu spent the rest of his time on this matter. Lu Zixin even specially contacted Xue Yao and asked her not to be in a hurry to renovate the house. He planned to design a smart home system himself and use it in his house first.
During the research and development period, several of Hong Xin's major subsidiaries had developed well. Hongxin Games. Although the popularity of mobile games and online games had dropped, they started to develop other games. Using Hongxin's gaming platform and online game accelerator, they are making a lot of money.
Hongxin Software is using the cloud as a host. It had become a well-known internet technology company. Almost 70% of its computers will have a Hongxin PC Butler installed. Based on the traffic bonus from the large number of users, they can make more than 1 billion RMB a year. This is after deducting Lu Zixin's continuous investment in new projects.
Kun Peng Battery Factory is using the more mature air-conditioning battery technology, and they have more orders than they can finish. Not only is the second factory under construction, but the third factory is also under construction.
Hongxin Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. had become the most profitable company among these companies just by relying on the Hongxin smartphone. Not to mention the traffic from smartphones, which is a new source of revenue for Hongxin.
Now, the only company that is not famous is Thunderstorm Home Appliances. Lu Zixin is changing this situation.
Hongxin Electronics's Smart Chip Laboratory had developed the smart home control system's chips. This type of smart chip was less technologically advanced than the chips in smartphones. Its only function was to respond to the instructions of the smart home system.
With the chip, the other related hardware and facilities would be much easier to design. Soon, an "all-purpose" smart home appliance controller was created.
The entire controller was only the size of an eraser, and it could be even smaller. Its function was to install it on any smart home appliance or home circuit network, allowing smart home appliances of different brands and functions, or circuit network switches, to accept the unified management of the smart home control center.
In the laboratory, Dai Liangcai was testing its functions. In front of him were several commonly used smart home appliances. Smart switches, smart lights, smart televisions, smart refrigerators, and smart washing machines.
These home appliances were produced by different manufacturers. Under normal circumstances, they could only achieve the "simple intelligence" of a single product. For example, the smart TV was connected to an app developed by the manufacturer, and the mobile phone could be used as a remote control.
Or the washing machine could set the washing process and automatically clean the car. In Lu Zixin's mind, this could not be considered intelligent at all.
Now, the staff had added this small smart controller to their key circuits or control center.
On the mobile phone, a simple version of the smart home control software showed the options of these home appliances. When clicked on, they would have their respective functions to control.
Dai Liangcai activated Red Cloud's smart voice assistant and ordered, "Turn on the lights."
Red Cloud automatically followed the voice instructions and helped the user to run the software. The light bulb lit up.
"Wash, time is half an hour. Wash three times and dry once." After Dai Liangcai gave the order, the washing machine's internal smart controller turned the phone's instructions into electrical signals. An integrated washing machine that could not understand voice instructions actually started to follow the voice instructions!
A staff member from Thunderstorm Home Appliances said in amazement, "This is really turning something rotten into something magical! A small controller is equivalent to installing a brain for the home appliance! "
Lu Zixin said, "These controllers are just simple signal receiving and conversion devices. The real brain is still Red Cloud. "
"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, "This controller, in terms of material and processing costs, is less than 40 yuan. Including the research and development costs, if it is mass-produced, the selling price can be controlled below 100 yuan. "
"At such a price, we can promote it on a wider scale and use it on every smart home appliance."
"I have a feeling that this will become a best-selling product! It might even be an essential component in future home appliances! "Dai Liangcai said.
"If this is the case, then we can start selling it." Lu Zixin said, "This smart controller needs professional staff to install it. It is also impossible to install it on some of the older generation and home circuits. That's why it will be troublesome to popularize it to every household. "
"Then our first customers will be those home appliances manufacturers!"
"All the big home appliances brands will need to install our smart controller and use Hongxin's smart home control system! This way, all the new home appliances can be controlled intelligently, and the smart home will be considered a success. "
"But will those home appliances agree to install our smart controller in their home appliances?" Someone asked.
"Now, the home appliances market is already in a price war. Adding another smart controller will cost them a lot of money. I'm afraid they will not agree."
"Not willing?" Lu Zixin smiled and said, "Then they will be eliminated! Moreover, smart products should be more expensive, and the consumers should be able to accept it. After all, we have invested a lot in the research and development and production costs. "
"Now, go back to Shanghai and report this to Director Su. Promote this smart controller to all the big home appliances brands in the market."
"Okay, I will go back now!" Thunderstorm Home Appliances' staff said excitedly. With this powerful weapon, Thunderstorm Home Appliances will not have to worry about not being able to rise. After staying at Hongxin Electronics for a few days, he finally felt how powerful Hongxin is. This smart controller was developed in such a short time. It's too powerful!
