Chapter 235 Friendly Businessmen and Ecology
That’s right, but what these users don’t know is that Gu Qing has never considered selling the smart butler form from the beginning to the end.
In the future, intelligent robots can be the image of cute animals like the Great White Bear, the image of square home appliances, or other strange shapes. However, for a long time, Jiuzhou Technology will not sell any to the outside world. A smart butler that fully simulates the human form.
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 the time the virtual ecosystem is built, it will become a big money seller.
Smart Butler 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.
Only the basic product price, other functional services such as kitchen master business, sports and health consulting business, clothing recommendation business, etc. are all extra charges.
The average domestic activated user in Daxia costs one hundred Xia Yuan per service, while the average overseas activated user costs 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 US 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 may not 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 step further.
In fact, this is a process that everyone has gone through in the country.
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 products. Of course, the reason why she said this was to create a "higher and lower" 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.
Self-operated production also has shoddy products, and OEM OEM products also have high-quality 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 Dami's ecological products, some air conditioners are manufactured by Sichuan Changhong Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd.
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 he should find a fixed enterprise to cooperate with the OEM for production; or directly acquire the factory and produce by himself.
But then he changed his mind and thought that sooner or later, he would have to come up with new technology. It would be too much of a loss to find others to cooperate in OEM production. If you buy or build a factory yourself, it will consume too much money and management resources. If you buy a factory, you will easily encounter some troubles in production due to management and equipment problems.
So after he screened out a list of qualified factories, he gave these factories a sweetener: Jiuzhou Technology could invest in acquiring part of the factory shares, and invest in technology, eventually occupying more than 51% of the shares. .
If you like, then 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 sum of money and invest in technology.
Although our factory is very big, can it have the strong backing behind Jiuzhou Technology?
Yes, it is 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 popular, 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 one 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 with the continuous investment of Jiuzhou Technology’s technology and funds, and will eventually become a global Maybe it's a subsidiary company.
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 number one washing machine in the world was American Whirlpool, which accounted for 7.4% of the global share. Now it only has 5.6% of the market share, ranking 4th 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 doesn’t want to take the market share of two young men who can’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.
It was once rumored that Haibi was the OEM refrigerator that Dami was looking for. Haibi directly issued a public statement stating that he was innocent...
So for the sake of improving the ecology, Gu Qing could only choose to rob the refrigerator. Brother's meal.
PS: Underpants Brothers Electrical Appliances is still beef spleen, much better than some "national enterprises".
