The town of Aiying is very large. It is not only a place for work, but also a place for life.
In Wu Zhou's vision, it was a complete town.
There will be supporting child care centers, kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools, and even high schools.
There will also be a large comprehensive hospital, as well as some small clinics, dental clinics, traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy, etc.
As for other supporting facilities, such as barber shops, beauty shops, convenience stores, supermarkets, etc., Wu Zhou will also choose some supermarkets with good reputations to settle in.
It’s not realistic to do it yourself, it’s too complicated.
Moreover, the wages of regular employees of Wuzhou Company are so high, and the investment cost is too high to start it. In addition, many industries are unfamiliar, starting from scratch, and you have to explore the supply chain. Obviously, this is completely unnecessary.
Of course, Wu Zhou has not mentioned this idea to anyone yet. It is too exaggerated.
Take it step by step.
In March, the small home appliance brand Little Helper, which has been in the business a year ago, finally began to gradually develop.
The main products, hair dryers and vacuum cleaners, have begun to be shipped abroad in January.
But after all, it is a new brand and new product, and the price is too high. Hair dryers start at 300 US dollars, and vacuum cleaners start at 500 US dollars.
Add to this the fact that sales channels are only online, and foreign e-commerce companies still lag far behind compared to domestic ones.
Most people prefer to shop offline, and it is obvious that Xiaobang has not yet had time to develop overseas offline channels.
Therefore, in January, through the Amazon platform, the total sales volume was only about 10,000 units, which was more than 4 million dollars. The sales volume was actually acceptable, but compared to the Aiying Group, it was almost negligible. Excluding.
Of course, although the little helper belongs to Wu Zhou and not to Aiying Group, there is no possibility of merging it into Aiying Group's financial data.
In February, we reached another level. A total of 18,000 hair dryers were sold, plus 13,000 vacuum cleaners, totaling about 1.2kW US dollars.
Since March, as the popularity of masks abroad has intensified, people's consumption habits have gradually shifted from offline to online.
This is also the reason why the stock price of Amazon platform has soared during this period.
As for Little Helper's products, they are not directly useful products such as masks.
But it also reaped the dividends of skyrocketing traffic.
In the middle of March, the shipment volume of Little Helper's hair dryers soared again to 37,000, and the sales volume of vacuum cleaners reached 55,000.
Not surprisingly, monthly sales of over 100,000 were stable in March.
This sales volume is already ranked top 1 in the Amazon platform’s subcategories.
Of course, this is far from the sales limit. At least at the moment, Wu Zhou has not actually spent much time and energy promoting this product.
Previously, domestic affairs and the pharmaceutical industry took up most of Wu Zhou's time and energy.
The reason why I noticed this now was because of the preliminary integration of its medical companies.
Wu Zhou had new ideas in his mind, which required the cooperation of the R&D department on Little Helper's side, so he noticed the recent performance.
The main directions of ideas are: mask issue,
The mask virus will float in the air because it is smaller in size and lighter in weight, and can easily stick to dust or aerosols in the air and float in the air.
It easily floats in the air with the wind, which is why it becomes increasingly difficult to prevent viruses with masks.
What Wu Zhou thought of was to use a high-suction fan system to suck out the viruses in the air. Of course, this did not refer to the outdoors, but the indoor environment. Install such equipment above.
Secondly, Wu Zhou’s medical company is also currently making high-sensitivity mask virus detection devices.
Is it possible to combine the two?
Suppose there is a scene where a patient with a mask virus enters a relatively closed space, and then a large-suction air changer absorbs as much of the mask virus in the air as possible to the virus detection device inside the air changer.
Wouldn’t it be possible to detect viruses in advance?
If this kind of equipment is laid over a large area in airports, shopping malls, public transport facilities, elevators, or a large public place, wouldn't it be possible to detect the virus immediately?
Of course, there is a certain premise here. The sensitivity of the system must be high enough and the virus content in the air should be very low.
For example, conventional detection methods require a virus count of about 200 to 500 copies per milliliter to detect it.
With this air testing solution, the final concentration may be only 10-20, or even less.
The concentration is far below the detection requirements.
Wu Zhou initially thought of two solutions. One is to increase the sensitivity of the detection device.
The other is equipment modification, for example, reducing the size of the adsorption device to make the virus more concentrated, thereby increasing the number of viruses per unit volume in disguise. This requires a large enough suction force. Otherwise, the air change efficiency will not be high, which means little. .
The biggest advantage of this equipment is that it can be fully integrated and automated, condensing reagent storage, fluid control, biomolecule detection, etc. into the chip and supporting instruments. It does not require manual intervention, saves time and effort, and can detect in advance.
In addition to detecting viruses, this device also sucks out a large amount of indoor air, which will also reduce the viral load of indoor air.
A low-virus environment can greatly reduce the transmission efficiency and reduce the probability of severe illness after infection.
The second one is that Wu Zhou wants to make a fresh air machine to seal the air. The carbon dioxide content in the air will continue to increase and make people sleepy. Therefore, the company and the R&D department must have a steady stream of clean fresh air. within it.
Wu Zhou's Aiying Town plan will require so many houses, R&D centers, hospitals, schools, etc.
This thing has no technical content, to put it simply.
In fact, it is air supply. After filtering and purifying the outdoor air, it is sent into the airtight room. Coupled with an exhaust device, indoor air convection can be achieved.
Of course, this is the simplest and least technological.
You can add some temperature control devices. If the indoor temperature is low, then heat it. If the temperature is high, then cool it. Try to maintain a constant temperature.
The relevant technology is readily available in Juchang, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money.
The third is to increase the function of the oxygen concentrator. Of course, this is not a rigid need. The normal fresh air function already meets the needs of the human body. And if you stay in an environment with higher oxygen content for a long time, the result may be that you will age faster.
However, this refers to people who are long-term and do not normally need a negative oxygen environment.
What about the short-term situation and some special groups?
When you are so busy that you feel sleepy or have a headache, or after strenuous exercise, or after you are particularly tired from studying.
Or during pregnancy? Or some respiratory diseases, etc.
From the perspective of these people, a slightly higher oxygen concentration may have more advantages than disadvantages.
Prepare an oxygen concentrator at home and wear it on your nose. The other one is so you don’t need to carry anything, so you can walk around the room at will.
This experience is still completely different.
It just so happens that Wu Zhou's medical company has equipment related to oxygen concentrators.
The last product is the air disinfection machine. Whether it is replacing the fan or making a fresh air blower, it needs to be drilled, either on the glass or on the wall.
Some places may not be suitable and some people may not be willing to do so.
Then you can use an air disinfection machine, which is an air purifier superimposed with a triple disinfection device, ultraviolet uv disinfection, negative oxygen ion purification, and anion disinfection.
After all, as long as the viral load in the air can be reduced, the spread can be reduced and the symptoms of infection can be reduced.
