The promotion of the smart controller was not as smooth as imagined. Thunderstorm Home Appliances had not announced this product to the public for the time being. Instead, they first contacted a few major home appliance manufacturers to promote this product.
For the development of the company, Su Xu even personally became a salesman and went to those companies. The first company he went to was Hai 'er Group, which had been the number one household appliance brand in the country for more than ten years.
Hai 'er Group not only had many users in the country, but its products were also sold overseas and were well-known worldwide.
Su Xu brought the newly developed smart home appliance "Universal Controller" to Hai 'er Group's headquarters. An executive vice president received him.
"President Su, I've heard a lot about you." In the reception room, Hai 'er's executive vice president, Tao Shuyi, shook hands with Su Xu and said with a smile, "I heard that Hongxin has invested in Thunderstorm Home Appliances and President Su has become the CEO. In the future, Thunderstorm Home Appliances will have a lot to do!"
Su Xu smiled and said, "Compared to Hai 'er Group, we are still a small horse. We can only catch up."
Tao Shuyi followed his words and said, "You are directly researching smart home appliances. Are you preparing to overtake them?"
The two of them laughed and entered the official topic. Su Xu personally introduced the latest smart controller of Thunderstorm Home Appliances to Tao Shuyi.
He said, "Hai 'er Group is one of the largest home appliance companies in the country. There are hundreds of products. From large home appliances to small home appliances, the coverage is very wide. "
"If these main home appliances are installed with our smart controller and connected to the smart home management system, then it can become a perfect and complete smart home system! This will greatly increase the competitiveness of your brand and expand the market! "
Speaking of this, Tao Shuyi was also very interested. He personally got someone to install some smart home appliances to experience the effect.
"Not simple, not simple!" Tao Shuyi immediately sensed the huge potential. These smart controllers could turn an ordinary home appliance into a "smart home appliance", directly increasing the quality of the home appliance by several levels!
Su Xu asked tentatively, "President Tao, what do you think of this product?"
Tao Shuyi did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "President Su, you're not in a hurry, are you? I still have to discuss with the other presidents. "
"There's no rush. These two days are fine," Su Xu said.
The Hai 'er Group even held a small meeting to discuss the AI controller. Everyone agreed that this was a very creative and creative product.
However, on whether or not to buy the smart controller of Thunderstorm Electronics, everyone had different opinions.
Tao Shuyi said, "I think there is a need to buy it. As long as we add this smart controller to some of our products, their intelligence will immediately increase by a large margin. It will greatly increase the competitiveness of our products. Moreover, it will also perfect our new ecological smart home system."
One of the vice presidents objected, "I think that this kind of smart controller doesn't require a lot of technology. Our Hai 'er Group has more than a dozen large research centers all over the world. We can do our own research and development. You don't have to buy their products. "
A few of his colleagues agreed, but the head of the technical department frowned and said, "We have been trying to research this kind of smart controller for a long time. However, we still haven't reached their current level of technology, so it's not likely that we'll be able to research it soon. "
"We can compromise and study the samples they provided. At the same time, we can try adding this kind of smart controller to some products and see the actual feedback."
…
Su Xu received a reply from Hai 'er Group. They agreed to buy a small portion of the smart controller. Basically, they maintained a wait-and-see attitude. If they could figure it out themselves, this kind of purchase agreement would definitely be terminated very quickly.
However, Su Xu was not worried at all. This was because the core chip of the smart controller was researched by Hongxin Electronics. It would not be easy for them to figure it out.
Moreover, the smart controller was only an auxiliary method. The core of the smart home was still the smart home control system!
This control system would include remote control, telephone remote control, timing control, centralized control, scene control, network remote control, mobile phone control … especially Hongyun's smart voice control system!
Without Hongyun's smart voice, no matter how good the smart controller was, it would not be able to achieve a truly humanized smart effect! And Hongyun's smart home voice control system would be firmly in the hands of Hongxin Group.
When the time came, these home appliance groups would realize that they still had to rely on Hongxin. Unless their artificial intelligence could surpass Hongxin.
Su Xu visited those big home appliance companies and some home appliance sales platforms one by one. The replies he received were also different.
Midea Group directly rejected the smart controller of Thunderstorm Home Appliances. They believed that they could also manufacture such a product. Not only that, their own company had its own smart home control system, so they did not want to use the smart home system that Thunderstorm Home Appliances had promised to launch.
Moreover, they also considered that if their home appliances used the smart home system of Thunderstorm Home Appliances, would the users be loyal to their brand or the smart home system? It was very likely that with the smart home system, the market initiative would be in the hands of Thunderstorm Home Appliances.
The various forces were also the home appliance group that had been on the rise in performance and market value in recent years. Their current CEO, Zhu Xing, directly spoke to Su Xu and rejected him with a clear attitude.
"With all due respect, your smart controller is actually a burden. Our smart home appliances can already be connected to wireless networks, so there's no need to do anything unnecessary, "Zhu Xing said.
"President Zhu, we're making this smart controller. The goal is to unify the smart home appliances of different brands and use them on the same smart home network, "Su Xu explained. "As you know, a family can't only use one brand of smart home appliances. This causes smart home appliances to be unable to completely connect into a unified smart management system. "
"We're here to solve this problem."
Zhu Xing smiled and said, "There is competition between different brands, and their production and smart standards are different. It's too difficult to connect to a smart management system. "
"And you should know that Lenovo has already joined forces with hundreds of related companies, including domestic and foreign companies, to develop a relatively unified standard. I think their standard is much more credible and influential than your smart controller. "
"We will redesign this standard!" Su Xu said confidently, "If we join now, we want to be one of the first companies to enjoy the smart home management system."
Zhu Xing still shook his head. He was not tempted at all. In his opinion, Thunderstorm Home Appliances was not good enough in the home appliance industry. Develop a standard? This was not something a small company like theirs could afford to play with. Even if they had the support of Hongxin Group, could Hongxin Group compare to them in the home appliance industry?
