Cai Peng never expected that his unintentional act would actually make smart watches popular in advance.
The next day, when he went to work at Juwei, he was in a state of elation and couldn't help himself with excitement.
"This may be the most popular product I have, and it may become a classic product."
He was feeling smug as he drank the refreshing coffee.
After a long time, he reluctantly looked away from the hot search and started to check his emails and prepare for work.
Suddenly, the phone rang. When I picked it up, it turned out to be my boss Yu Dong.
"Hurry over here and let's discuss the new needs for smart watches."
"New demand?" Cai Peng was a little confused, but he immediately took his laptop to Yu Dong's office.
As soon as he entered the door, he found another person inside.
A thin man in his fifties with gray hair on his temples who looked energetic.
Cai Peng looked at the other person's face and felt that it looked unusually familiar. His heart was shocked, and a name immediately appeared in his mind.
"Li Chaoyang?" He blurted out involuntarily.
The other party immediately smiled and looked over with a warm look: "Exactly, I apologize for disturbing you so rashly."
Yu Dong chuckled and said, "Since you know who it is, I won't introduce you further."
Li Chaoyang is an ancient Internet tycoon. Now the company's position is stable, its performance has been tepid, and there is no new business to develop, so he is in a semi-retired state and begins to enjoy life.
When such a person comes to visit, there must be something to talk about.
Cai Peng was confused. After exchanging a few words, he couldn't help but look at the leader.
Yu Dong smiled and said proudly: "You don't know yet, but our smart watch has become popular on the Internet and attracted a lot of people's attention. This is why Li Chaoyang came here. The specific things are still up to date. Let him speak for himself.”
Li Chaoyang nodded and came one by one.
"You may have heard that I like all kinds of extreme sports, especially mountaineering. Since I retired, I have met a group of big guys and we often climb mountains together. Last year, a group of us business colleagues wanted to climb Mount Everest again. , the original date was May this year, which is the best time to climb Mount Everest.”
"We have negotiated cooperation with the professionals from the national mountaineering team, and are basically ready. However, there are a few big bosses who are older, have worked hard for many years, and their physical fitness is average. I have been worried that with their condition, It might be difficult to make it to the end.”
"You also know that the medical conditions on Mount Everest are relatively poor. If something happens, it will turn a happy event into a tragedy. It is a bit sorry for our original intention. I have been having a headache about this." Li Chaoyang rubbed his eyebrows and could tell. He did worry about this for a long time.
However, he quickly cheered up and his tone became high-pitched: "It wasn't until these two days when I saw the video of Juwei's smart watch saving people on the subway platform that my eyes lit up and I discovered a new continent. . I watched this video carefully and even consulted a doctor, and they all agreed."
He spoke quickly with an excited smile on his face: "This smart watch is exactly what we need. It has very powerful medical functions. We want to wear it to climb Mount Everest!"
"In this way, we can use it to check the physical status at any time. Once someone feels unwell, we can stop climbing immediately, which can greatly reduce casualties and various complications."
"Wear a watch to climb Mount Everest!" These words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Cai Peng's mind to buzz. For a moment, these words were echoing throughout his mind.
"Here, we haven't tried it in such an extreme environment, so we don't know if it's suitable."
After a while, he calmed down and answered uneasily.
Li Chaoyang immediately said: "This is natural. Ordinary smart watches are only suitable for ordinary people and are not considered for professionals. They are definitely not suitable for the extremely harsh environment of Mount Everest."
He paused and said slowly: "So, we want to customize a batch of professional smart watches to specifically deal with such harsh and complex scenarios. Money is not an issue."
"If the watch is easy to use, professionals like the National Mountaineering Team will definitely be interested. Although professional mountaineers are only a niche group and the market capacity is very small, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. If they get their approval, there will still be a certain amount of money. Way."
Cai Peng thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Juwei's mobile phones have always relied on continuous technological innovation to create a high-end business image and gain recognition from users.
Although the Porsche series is so expensive, it is still loved by high-net-worth customers and has a good reputation.
Juwei's watches are not as powerful as mobile phones yet, so they cannot compare with fruits, and their market performance can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
If a smart watch can be recognized by professional mountaineering teams and sought after by wealthy people, it will definitely gain a huge reputation. It will not only create a high-end and professional image, but also trigger rush purchases by ordinary users.
Users of consumer electronics products are very smart and only value hard power. When a smart watch can demonstrate professional medical capabilities on Mount Everest, it will definitely leave an unparalleled impression on users and gain a group of die-hard fans. .
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and looked at Yu Dong with shining eyes.
Their eyes met, and sparks flew.
Yu Dong coughed lightly and concluded the matter: "This is no problem. Since it is custom-made, please tell me your needs."
Li Chaoyang seemed to have thought about it and immediately said: "We want to customize a batch of smart watches, which are required to be able to withstand low temperatures, be waterproof, have long standby times, at least 10 days of standby, and most importantly, be able to communicate with each other."
"Actually, Mount Everest is not the most difficult to climb, but its temperature is very low. Even when the temperature is at its highest, it is still more than ten degrees below zero. Ordinary electronic products cannot be turned on at all."
Cai Peng frowned and said thoughtfully: "This is understandable. Generally, smart watches use ordinary lithium batteries, and the lowest operating temperature is zero. At low temperatures, the capacity will shrink rapidly. Only lead-acid batteries or special ones can be used. Only low-temperature lithium batteries can discharge normally and allow the equipment to operate.”
"The battery problem is not big. In terms of waterproofing, it means using an embedded eSIM card. The Bluetooth function also needs to be optimized. You can choose the team function. If someone loses contact, you can send a reminder."
"In terms of medical treatment, we can confirm with Sanqing Group. In terms of time, if the changes are not big, we will try to produce samples within half a month and then make test adjustments."
"The price can't be determined until the finished product comes out. Overall, it's not a big problem."
Li Chaoyang showed a pleasant smile and stretched out his hand.
"Juwei is indeed Juwei, and its R&D capabilities never disappoint. In that case, I'm waiting for your good news."
After Li Chaoyang left, Yu Dong looked at his retreating background and asked with interest: "Do you think this Everest version smart watch is reliable?"
Cai Peng nodded: "Theoretically, it should be feasible."
Yu Dong patted his shoulder and said excitedly: "Then it's up to you. If it's really reliable, I also want to go to Mount Everest and have a look, hahaha."
Cai Peng was stunned. He climbed to the top of Mount Everest. It was really exciting to think about it.
Yu Dong smiled cheerfully and said: "I can't wait to hold a press conference. This time I will make my boast come true again."

Why do people climb mountains?
Because the mountain is there, and there will always be people climbing it.
Just like if money is on the ground, someone will pick it up.
Just like the naked statue, someone will always touch it.
They are all conditioned reflexes, impulses and instincts carried in genes.
Everyone knows that picking up money from the ground carries the risk of being scammed.
Everyone knows that there are risks of frostbite and falling off the cliff when climbing Mount Everest.
However, these people who climb Mount Everest just want to reach the top, and everything else is none of their business.
Very pure, very wild, very instinctive.
After Wan Shi stood on top of the world for the first time in 2003, Mount Everest has become the temple of self-conquest in the hearts of many entrepreneurs.
No one thought that this charming but dangerous passage would one day become a pilgrimage destination for Chinese entrepreneurs and explorers.
In fact, summiting Everest itself is becoming increasingly symbolic and commercial.
Although people can find various high-sounding reasons for climbing Mount Everest, such as tempering their will and testing their courage, the most realistic results they can obtain are fame, traffic, eyeballs, and being in the circle of entrepreneurs. conversation among them.
Climbing Mount Everest will obviously make them a hot topic among Chinese entrepreneurs, take advantage of them in various social situations, and quickly gain popularity online.
A sacred mountain has been enveloped by a series of complex emotions and concepts such as consumerism, vanity, and the pursuit of excitement. It has transformed from a milestone of self-conquest for entrepreneurs into a vanity fair for everyone to compete for.
But fortunately, regardless of whether they actually succeed in climbing to the top, Chinese entrepreneurs generally abide by the rules, are self-disciplined and willing to listen to the opinions of professionals. The physical fitness of climbers is also relatively strong.
As long as you have perseverance, good physical fitness, and under the guidance of experts, it is possible to climb Mount Everest. Many big bosses who have successfully climbed to the summit are clear examples.
Because of this, many sports enthusiasts, after climbing enough wild mountains, began to set their sights on Mount Everest, treating it as an ultimate goal and wanting to give it a try.
The Everest economy also started from this.
In the past ten years, the economy of Mount Everest has become more and more prosperous, and the number of people climbing it has reached new highs. On the southern slope of Mount Everest in Nepal, tens of thousands of people are welcomed every year to challenge the goal of climbing Mount Everest.
Every year in May, when the weather is the best, due to too many people, there will be congestion and queues on the road leading to the top of the mountain, resulting in the spectacle of a traffic jam on Mount Everest.
Such a large number of climbers has also led to frequent accidents. Since the 1990s, more than 200 people have been killed.
If an ordinary person wants to climb the peak, it will cost a lot of money. The fee paid to the commercial team alone will cost at least hundreds of thousands, and the rest of the expenses will be calculated separately.
A climb to the peak takes about two months.
For such a long time, just eating and drinking is a big burden.
With some additional fees, the cost will be hundreds of thousands higher.
With so many people and such high fees, it is a big piece of cake, and many business teams are targeting it.
However, mountaineering is no child's play and requires the support of a lot of equipment, especially medical equipment.
After climbing to a high place, the less weight the better, so as not to cause too much burden on people.
Therefore, when the smart watch with health monitoring function came out, Li Chaoyang immediately saw its role and went to Juwei to customize it.
There are already base stations on Mount Everest, so communication is not a big problem.
The main thing is to monitor the heartbeat and blood oxygen content at any time to give accurate diagnosis and countermeasures.
This is what Li Chaoyang values.
More than half a month later, he had received a simple and technological smart watch from Juwei as promised.
It uses a special low-temperature lithium battery and a low-temperature resistant screen. After rigorous testing, it can operate normally even at temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees.
Time was tight, so he was overjoyed to have this effect.
Li Chaoyang, other entrepreneurs, and members of the mountaineering team each had one in hand and quickly put it on their wrists.
At this moment they have arrived in Nepal, at the foot of Mount Everest.
Climbing Mount Everest is not like climbing the Five Mountains in one go. Instead, you have to climb in stages to adapt and avoid major body reactions, otherwise you may be in danger at any time.
They will first hike to the Everest Base Camp, which is more than 5,000 meters, and then rest for a day and do some adaptive training before continuing the rest of the trip.
The entrepreneurs traveling with him this time were all older, almost in their fifties. To be honest, he was not very optimistic about it.
But it doesn't matter, there is a professional team here, as long as there is no problem with the body, it can be lifted up even if there is no problem.
Li Chaoyang is already fifty-seven, but unlike others, he has climbed Mount Everest once and has experience reaching the summit, so he has confidence in himself.
This time, he came mainly for the record of the oldest person in China to reach the summit of Mount Everest. As long as he breaks this record set by Wan Shi at the age of 52, he will be the first person in the country to reach the summit of Mount Everest and will have a huge amount of wealth. of traffic and conversation.
"I hope the smart watch is as magical as the video and can play a certain role in medical monitoring."
He thought to himself, took out his mobile phone, and officially announced the launch of the "Climb Everest Again" campaign.
"Today is the day to climb Mount Everest again. Although I am almost 60 years old and no longer as brave as I used to be, with Juwei's sports version of the smart watch protecting me, I should be able to survive until the day I reach the summit. Come on!"
The post was posted with a close-up of the smart watch, a distant view of Mount Everest, and the location.
Li Chaoyang also has many fans on Langbo and some short video platforms, and his fans instantly attracted intense attention and heated discussions.
“Damn it, Juwei’s smart watch also has a sports version?”
"This is a customized smart watch. The GT3 I bought last time doesn't work well in the winter."
"I really want it. I am also a mountaineering enthusiast and need a customized watch like this, but the price is estimated to be tens of thousands."
"As long as you don't climb Mount Everest, just buy a regular version. Damn it, why is this watch not on the market yet? Crazy!"
"Wearing a smart watch to reach the summit of Mount Everest? Awesome and majestic! As expected of Boss Li!"
"It is said that the entire climbing process will be broadcast live on the entire Internet. It is so exciting."
"I feel like I have acquired another pretentious skill, and I am just short of a golden thigh to take me to the summit of Mount Everest."
"Don't think too much. A trip to Mount Everest costs hundreds of thousands. It's not that rich people can't go."
"This is really cool. You have money and leisure, and you have to be in good health to do it. It's much more high-end than Frisbee diving and the like. It is indeed the favorite of the rich."
"I have a hunch that all kinds of creatures will be swarming at the foot of Mount Everest."
"Do you think Boss Li can reach the top this time? He is almost sixty."
"I wonder how many bosses are in good health and really think they are professional athletes?"
"If he can break the record this time, there may be a wave of big bosses in their 60s who are ready to come and visit Mount Everest."
"Mount Everest has become an Internet celebrity attraction for rich people to check in. The world is getting worse!"
The topic gradually changed, and everyone focused on whether Li Chaoyang could break the title of "the oldest person to reach the summit" and his pretentious posture.
