On April 10th, just fifteen days after Wu Hao's new product launch conference, Haoyu Technology's official Weibo released a new announcement.
“As of 1:13 and 47 seconds on the 10th, Haoyu Technology H1 smart assistant has sold one million units in official shopping malls and official brand direct stores of several major online shopping platforms.
To thank our users for their support, we will open the application store in the official virtual service hall. Some service functions that have not been unlocked before can be found in the mall, and users are welcome to actively try them out. From now on, you can enjoy a 50% discount on all purchases in the app store.
In addition, in response to the strong demand of users, Haoyu Technology will start selling related ancillary equipment at 12 noon on the 11th. Users are welcome to purchase.
Smart home life starts from now on, are you ready? "
This is just a performance report and a product launch notice. There is nothing surprising. What is surprising to everyone is that the one million sales came so quickly.
You must know that it has only been on sale for fifteen days, and it has already sold one million units. From being unknown to becoming a hot topic among the public, the speed of Haoyu Technology's rise is really like riding a rocket.
Is it really a sudden rise of luck? Anyone who pays a little attention to technology news will shake their heads.
Although this company is not well-known, it really didn’t become popular just by relying on one product. Many people still remember the wonderful light and shadow show of drone swarms in Yangcheng, as well as the news about previous exhibitions.
Anyone who knows a little bit knows that although this company is relatively small, it has successively come up with extreme technologies that amaze the world. It is said that previous drone technology has been cooperating with the military, which shows that this company still has something.
But they didn't expect that Wu Hao and the others could release another mushroom cloud outside in such a short period of time.
This smart voice technology is undoubtedly more shocking than the previous drone cluster array technology.
No one expected that such a technology, which technology giants around the world are scrambling to research, would be made a breakthrough by such a small company and a few young people.
Is this artificial intelligence? The answer is yes, and it still falls into the category of weak artificial intelligence. But it is epoch-making in terms of technology. First of all, as Wu Hao said, they have made the language warm and no longer a cold procedural and mechanical language.
Secondly, this device can feel people's emotions. Through the tone of voice and the heart rate of a person in different emotions, this device can determine the person's expression at that time and respond accordingly.
Now they finally understand why Wu Hao and the others did not make mobile phones or bracelets, but made them a device that can be mounted on the ear.
This means that after users wear the device, they no longer need to deliberately operate it, just voice control.
If it's another device, a mobile phone, or even a bracelet, you have to take out your phone or raise your hand to operate.
This device can fit snugly into your ears and mouth, so you don’t need to operate it intentionally at all. You just need to have a normal conversation. This is a big progress and means that this device will be completely integrated into everyone's life.
Maybe you will feel nothing at first, but as time goes by, once you leave it, you will not adapt.
This is how people are, once you are asked to take a shortcut, you will never take the long road again. So we often see that there are often many shortcuts that have been stepped on in the curves of some roads.
In the same way, once you accept a more convenient and convenient product, it will be difficult to accept the original product again.
Everyone was also lost in thought as to what product could be more convenient than Wu Hao's smart voice assistant.
Perhaps except for the truly practical AR technology that can replace it in the future, it seems that none of the wearable products or personal information products currently on the market can compare with it.
Of course, this smart voice assistant is not without its shortcomings. It has many shortcomings. For example, you cannot connect to the mobile network independently, you must use a mobile phone. Moreover, some information must be transmitted through the mobile phone or computer TV screen, and the voice is not intuitive.
But it is undeniable that this is a successful product, successful enough to surprise every user who uses it.
So it's no surprise that it sold a million units in such a short period of time. Some people even feel that it is a pity that if Wu Hao and others could be better at operation and hype, the sales volume of this product would be far more than this.
This cannot be said to be Wu Hao's negligence, it can only be said to be a marketing strategy. They can choose to hold a grand press conference and hype it up, so sales will definitely explode.
But this means that they will face a large number of orders in a short period of time. And with their current cooperation with foundries, they simply cannot bear it.
Even if the foundry side expands its scale, it requires a step-by-step process. It is not only necessary to add equipment to make abrasive tools, but also to retrain related employees. What's more, this will mean higher costs and upfront investment, which Wu Hao and the others simply cannot afford in their current situation.
That’s why we chose to take this approach, relying on users’ word-of-mouth to slowly ferment, thereby growing in an upward ladder.
Facts have proved that their marketing strategy is right. As the number of users increases, there are more and more online discussions and reviews about this product, which undoubtedly saves them a lot of publicity expenses.
With excellent reputation, orders are also growing rapidly. Judging from the sales monitoring over the past ten days, their order quantity has also increased exponentially. To put it simply, it is an accelerated growth.
And their foundry, the Great Wall, has begun to pay attention to cooperation with them. At present, several production lines have been freed up to produce at full capacity, but even so, they still cannot keep up with sales.
Zhang Jun was very angry about this, and even considered whether to cooperate with other manufacturers to increase sales. In the end, the deputy general manager of Great Wall personally came to Anxi to comfort him and promised to mobilize relevant resources as soon as possible to fully produce, which temporarily stabilized Zhang Jun.
The same situation also occurred among other manufacturers of accessory equipment. Originally, everyone thought that there were about 70,000 to 80,000 units of such accessory equipment. However, less than a week after the planned launch, all 50,000 sets of smart home device controls, 20,000 smart cameras and 120,000 smart switch panels have been sold out, which really shocked everyone.
