What he said was correct, but what these users didn't know was that Gu Qing had never considered selling the smart butler form from the beginning to the end.
In the future, intelligent robots can take the form of cute animals like the Great White Bear, the square shape of home appliances, or other weird shapes. However, for a long time, Jiuzhou Technology will not sell any fully simulating human form to the outside world. smart housekeeper.
Of course, he also left a vent for those who longed for humanoid robots in the future.
At the next press conference, would you like to know more about the smart butler virtual image business?
By then, the virtual ecosystem will be built and it will become a big money seller.
The smart housekeeper is limited to selling one thousand units per month, five hundred units are priced at RMB 100,000, and five hundred units are priced at RMB 500,000.
It’s just the price of basic products. Other functional services such as kitchen master business, sports and health consulting business, and outfit recommendation business are all extra charges.
The average activation fee for domestic users in Daxia is one hundred Xia Yuan per service, and the average activation fee for foreign users is two hundred US dollars, which is one thousand three Xia Yuan per service.
After all, those who can buy smart butlers abroad are "high-end people". How can those who spend this money think that two hundred dollars for a business is expensive?
According to the latest statistics from the smart butler business sales department, one thousand smart butlers released in July have been sold out, and the number of smart butlers activated is 937. Including functional business profits, the total revenue is 301 million. Xia Yuan.
Although it doesn't seem like much, one year later it will be close to 4 billion Xia Yuan in revenue, and with the increase in functional businesses, the revenue will only continue to increase.
Once people get used to the full range of services provided by smart butlers, they will gradually become greedy for enjoyment.
The price of enjoyment is to buy more smart peripheral products.
Of course, some home appliance brands have already found Jiuzhou Technology, hoping to cooperate with products that can be linked with smart housekeepers or [boundary monuments].
That is to say, the intelligent services of the products are placed on the products of Jiuzhou Technology, and they become a member of the entire smart home ecosystem of Jiuzhou. As a product manufacturer, they can concentrate on the production and after-sales of home appliances, and they can also ride on the tailwind of Jiuzhou Technology. The car makes the brand's grade a further leap forward.
In fact, this is a process that everyone has gone through in China.
In order to build their own smart ecosystem, mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiawei, Dami, and Opo are unwilling to waste time and large sums of money on product development, so they have chosen some product manufacturers for OEM and customization.
Sister Dong once said in an interview that rice products are basically OEM production. Of course, the reason why she said this was to widen the "level" gap between her own products and rice products.
There is generally a difference between a home-made product and an OEM product in the eyes of the people of Daxia. The former has an innate favorable impression, while the latter has a "copycat" feeling.
But in fact, Sister Dong’s remarks are untenable.
There are also fake and inferior products in self-operated production, and there are also high-quality products in OEM products.
From a broad perspective, 90% of global chips are OEM "OEM", and Pingguo mobile phones are also OEM "OEM" assembled by other factories.
Among Rice's ecological products, some air conditioners are manufactured by Sichuan Changhong Electrical Appliances.
As the largest air conditioner R&D and manufacturing enterprise in western Daxia, as early as the 1990s, the Daxia version of Neon Dongzhi's air conditioning product "Da Qing Kuai" was produced by Changhong.
Of course, there are also some companies that are directly funded by rice, a "rich and wealthy" "Internet listed company", and then OEM to produce rice products, such as Ningde Electric Appliances.
Gu Qing was also thinking about whether to find a fixed enterprise to cooperate with the OEM for production; or to directly acquire the factory and operate the production on his own.
But then I thought about it, sooner or later I would have to come up with new technology, and it would be too much of a loss to find others to cooperate in OEM production. It would be too expensive and expensive to acquire or build a factory by myself. Moreover, when acquiring a factory, due to management and equipment problems, production would be difficult. It is easy to encounter some troubles.
So after he screened out a list of qualified factories, he gave these factories a sweetener: Jiuzhou Technology could invest in acquiring some factory shares and take technical shares, eventually occupying more than 51% of the shares.
If you want, keep talking.
If you don't want to, then you can take your Yangguan Road and I can cross my single-plank bridge.
After showing this attitude, the first-tier manufacturers simply waved their hands and left, leaving only some medium-sized manufacturers to think about it.
After all, Jiuzhou Technology stated that it was willing to pay a generous amount of money and invest in technology.
Although our factory is very big, can it have the strong backing behind Jiuzhou Technology?
Yes, that's the backer.
There have been many rumors in the country that Jiuzhou Technology is a "private enterprise" that is very "popular" at heart.
This rumor is still well-established, just like when Penguin was held by a certain bank.
Gu Qing knew about this, but he didn't stupidly stand up to express his position or clarify anything.
Because this is a "rumor" that has only advantages and no disadvantages.
Commonly known as the fox pretending to be the tiger's power.
Of course, Gu Qing was also worried about these medium-sized factories, just spending thousands of dollars to buy horse bones.
In a Chengda washing machine manufacturing factory, Jiuzhou Technology spent 200 million to acquire 33% of the shares, and Jiuzhou Technology invested in it with technology, occupying 20% of the shares.
It eventually became a holding subsidiary of Jiuzhou Technology, and if nothing unexpected happens, this shareholding will become larger and larger in the future as Jiuzhou Technology continues to invest in technology and capital, and it may eventually become a wholly-owned subsidiary. .
A factory that only ships hundreds of thousands of units a year can even be said to be a small factory.
After all, in 2017, there were more than 60 washing machine export companies in Daxia, and the total export volume exceeded 20 million units.
In 2018, according to the 2017 global washing machine market brand share data released by Euromonitor International, the world's authoritative market research organization, Haiyi washing machine ranked first with a market share of 14.6%. Korean LG and Korean companies ranked second and third with market shares of 8.3% and 6.6% respectively.
Nine years ago, the world's largest washing machine was Whirlpool washing machines with a global share of 7.4%. Now it only has a market share of 5.6%, ranking fourth in the world.
Today's Haibi washing machines are sold all over the world, showing the huge development potential of the Daxia brand.
Gu Qing actually didn't want to steal the market share of two young men who couldn't afford to wear clothes.
But there is no way, Haibi is not willing to be the OEM of Jiuzhou Technology.
And not only does it not do OEM work for Jiuzhou Technology, it also won’t easily do OEM work for brands like rice.
There were rumors that Haibi was looking for OEM refrigerators from Dami. Haibi directly issued a public statement stating that he was innocent...
Therefore, in order to improve the ecology, Gu Qing could only choose to steal a bite of his brother's meal.
