The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 425 The Underestimated Robot Industry

Hu Lai hadn't seen Feng Rong for a long time.

If Factory Director Zhang is the "General Manager" of the Phoenix Group, then Feng Rong is the "master of optimization" who diligently checks and fills in the gaps for the Phoenix Group and improves the shortcomings in the industrial chain.

His mission is to become the last bastion in Phoenix Group's industrial investment.

As soon as he sat down, Hu Lai asked with a smile:

"Old Feng, what's the matter? The acquisition in the Neon Country did not go well this time?"

Since the "Phoenix Nanny Robot" was released globally and achieved good sales, the robotics department has started research and development of other models.

Bear the brunt, the main research and development model is the most popular "accompanying robot" among netizens.

and so.

When the project was finalized, Feng Rong went to the Neon Country next door in person to see if he could negotiate acquisitions or cooperation with some good robot companies in the Neon Country.

Hearing Hu Lai's question, Feng Rong smiled and shook his head.

"Boss, it's not that it's not going well."

"Actually, because the technical level of our 'family version nanny robot' is so amazing, it brought an unimaginable impact to their entire robot industry after it was launched in Neon Country."

"The 'nanny robot' they are proud of was completely crushed by us in all aspects overnight, and it was completely reduced to a product that is at least two generations behind!"

"This directly destroys the confidence of many robot business owners, and also makes investors who invest in the robot industry of Neon Country lose sight of the future..."

"This trip, not only did not go smoothly, but it exceeded expectations; the planned acquisition of Sharp's robotics business unit and the technology transfer of Lovot were not only very easy to negotiate, but the price was cheaper than expected..."

"Oh?"

Hu Lai gave a light snort, then laughed.

The original opponent of the "Nanny Robot" was Zesla's Optimus Prime, but it was unexpected that the accidents caused a huge blow to the robot industry of Neon Country.

But this is normal.

For a long time, the robot industry has been the main development industry of Neon Country, and they also boast that their robot technology is at the top level in the world.

But now...

The "nanny robot" directly shattered all their fantasies.

The technology of the "nanny robot" comes from the light system of domestic products. Whether it is AI intelligence or refined mechanical structure, it is far beyond the technological level of bionic robots at this stage.

Once such a cross-generational product is on the market, how can it prevent Neon China from despairing?
the most important is.

Now Nihongo, no, even all robot companies and investors in the world will face a difficult decision.

Phoenix's "nanny robot" technology is too advanced, it is impossible for them to catch up in a short time...

Then it is doomed that even if we try our best to develop new robots, the mass production will be one or two generations behind!
With such a technological gap, how can they compete with the Phoenix Group?
Do you still have such a robot prospect? !

With a smile on his face, Hu Lai looked at Feng Rong:
"Since the acquisition is very successful, then our 'accompaniment robot' will also speed up."

Feng Rong nodded and said:

"Yes, the acquisitions of these neon robot companies will bring us great help, but..."

"However, I came to report to you today not because of this incident, but because of this field trip to Neon Country. Their robot industry has touched me a lot."

"I think ... we may be underestimating the huge potential of the future 'bionic robotics' market."

"And based on the conditions in the neon country market, I think the future market for 'bionic robots' may become as essential to most households as cars are now."

"Because bionic robots are most likely the most needed tool in modern society."

Underestimated the market potential of bionic robots?

As big as the car market?

Hu Lai was a little surprised by Feng Rong's words, but he always recognized Feng Rong's business vision.

He didn't dare to neglect, looked at Feng Rong, and said:
"Old Feng, please speak carefully."

"it is good!"

Feng Rong nodded, and said seriously:
"This time our 'Nanny Robot' was just launched in Neon Country, and it was immediately snapped up by a large number of elite white-collar workers, especially older unmarried men and women who bought a lot."

"As you know, our overseas prices are not cheap. The most basic robot is priced at $2.5, but there are still many people buying it."

"Do you know why?"

Hu Lai's mind turned, and he had an answer in his heart, but he didn't rush to answer.

Feng Rong didn't hold back, and said immediately:

"As we all know, Neon Country is a developed country, but the work pressure of their elite white-collar workers is very high, so most people don't want to do housework after returning home, they prefer to lie in bed and relax."

"The robot industry in their country is relatively developed, and the public's acceptance of robots is also very high. This time, after seeing that our robots can really perform functions such as cooking, cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning, more and more Young people are willing to pay for it!"

"So, I think we underestimated the huge potential of the 'bionic robot' market in the future. If the robot market was 10 in the past, then the market may be 100 after our technological progress!"

Hu Lai nodded after thinking for a moment.

It has to be said that in the past, whether it was bicycles, mobile phones or computers, the Phoenix Group entered industries with relatively saturated and mature markets, and the market cake has basically been fixed.

But now in the "bionic robot" industry, no one is sure how big the future market will be and what it will look like.

Undoubtedly, Feng Rong made a bold guess.

but.

Feng Rong didn't finish his sentence.

He looked at Hu Lai, and then said:

"In addition to being touched by the huge demand brought by the 'nanny robot', there is another core element of the Neon Kingdom that deeply touches me, and that is 'population aging'!"

"Aging population?"

"Yes."

"Before I didn't go to the Neon Country for research, I only heard that the Neon Country was aging seriously, but it was really an eye-opener to go there."

"However, it is their 'aging' that makes their 'robot' industry more prosperous than other countries!"

"Just like the 'accompanying robots' we investigated this time, they have been widely used in nursing homes, large communities, and even individual families!"

"And boss, you need to know that these 'accompanying robots' that are widely used are only robots with 'limited functions', and they can only satisfy some simple services!"

"It is conceivable that once our 'accompanying robot' goes on the market, it will definitely be 'killed' in the neon country!"

Hu Lai's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

But at this moment, Feng Rong went on to say:

"The most important thing is that the aging of the neon country is serious now, and it won't be long before our country will also face the problem of aging!"

"Actually, don't say it won't be long, now our country's needs in this area have begun to gradually emerge!"

"There are already a large number of empty-nest elderly people in the countryside, and there are also many elderly people who live alone in the city; this time when I went to the Neon Country, I heard a news that an old lady in her 70s who lived alone died for more than a month before she was discovered... ..."

Hu Lai's face changed, he already understood another meaning in Feng Rong's words.

Empty-nesters and elderly people living alone are no longer a phenomenon that one or two people can change. With the development of modern society in the future, the fertility rate will continue to decline. This will be a serious social phenomenon for a long time.

It can be said.

The more the society develops, the greater the pressure, and this phenomenon will inevitably become more and more serious.

Imagine.

Now that we are so busy with work, how much time can we spend with our parents?

In the future, more and more robots can only participate in the life companionship of the elderly.

"Boss, why did I specifically mention this to you today, because I think the 'Bionic Robot' project is very likely to become our core product in the next ten or twenty years."

"Not only because of our technological leadership in the field of 'bionic robots', but also because it is not just a simple commodity, but more like a 'humanistic demand', which has been endowed with a higher level of meaning."

"It is conceivable that once our 'bionic robot' products bring convenience to countless families around the world, comfort and convenience to countless elderly people, and help to countless disabled people, its significance will undoubtedly go beyond Ordinary goods."

"What Coca-Cola, Toyota Motor, Hongguo Mobile... will all become bleak in front of it. For us, this is very likely to be the best opportunity for our brand sublimation..."

As soon as the words fell, Hu Lai looked very calm.

When Feng Rong said the last word, two words had already appeared in his mind.

great.

Great company!
In fact, Hu Lai hoped to build Phoenix Group into a great company from the beginning of making new energy vehicles.

but.

Whether it is the new energy vehicle "Qingluan" or a notebook computer, Phoenix Group can only be said to be an excellent technology company, far from great.

Even if the "Super 2" mobile phone comes up with "mobile satellite communication" and realizes direct satellite connection on consumer-grade mobile phones, it can only be said to be a technological innovation across the ages, and it is still far from great.

indeed.

The technologies and products of Phoenix Group have amazed the whole world, but up to now, there has never been a product that can really change the world, let the whole world praise and conquer it!
Now, Hu Lai seemed to understand what was wrong with the Phoenix Group before.

It is what Feng Rong called "humanities"!
An irreplaceable product that can really bring about changes for all mankind.

Previously, new energy vehicles in overseas markets were restricted from buying Qingluan, so customers still have Zesla to choose from;

Previously, mobile phones in overseas markets were restricted from buying "Super 2", so there are still red fruits to choose from;

And now!
What Phoenix wants to do is a unique and irreplaceable "bionic robot"!
……

The conversation between Hu Lai and Feng Rong ended soon.

Originally, Hu Lai was relieved after the "nanny robot" was put into the market, and he was ready to advance step by step.

This time Feng Rong's suggestion convinced him and made him pay attention again.

Followed by.

On the one hand, Hu Lai is grasping the "Voyager Space Station" project, on the other hand, "Bionic Robot" has been raised to an important level in the group's development, and a lot of resources have begun to be tilted towards the robot department.

At the same time, driven by the Phoenix Group, a large number of spare parts procurement requirements were released from Phoenix. In order to meet the requirements of Phoenix, countless spare parts manufacturers scrambled to start new parts research and development.

For a time, the domestic robot industry ushered in a huge opportunity for development.

the other side.

Department of Commerce of Neon Country.

The impact on the robot industry in Neon Country has attracted the attention of the Ministry of Commerce. In a spacious conference room, more than a dozen officials are discussing urgently.

"According to the company's latest report, Yanguo's Phoenix Group has reached a business transfer agreement with Sharp's robotics department."

"At the same time, Lovot, MJI and other companies have also been acquired by the Phoenix Group for some of their patents and technologies. We must pay attention to the fact that the Phoenix Group is hollowing out the bionic robot patent wall we have accumulated over decades, which will greatly weaken us. The robot industry in this country!"

"There's something bad about it."

The person who spoke was a very capable, well-dressed middle-aged man who was also one of the core officials of the Ministry of Commerce, Sophomore Ono.

"That's right, but..."

"A few days ago, do you still remember what happened to Dongfang Motor?"

An old man with gray temples who looked older at a glance said in a low tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room became much more dignified.

Of course, everyone remembers Yanguo's acquisition of Dongfang Motor a few days ago. The Ministry of Commerce just got stuck with the Phoenix Group, and Yanguo officials immediately took action to restrict Toyota.

Such a reciprocal counterattack made the Ministry of Commerce of Neon Country very uncomfortable.

Today's Yan Kingdom has begun to show strong oppressive power and aggressiveness, and the Neon Kingdom, which is deeply tied to Yan Kingdom's economy, no longer dares to easily anger Yan Kingdom.

After a short silence, the old man with gray temples looked at Daiji Ono and said:
"How's the situation on Amy's side?"

Hearing that the old man asked about Ami, Daiji Ono shook his head.

"Ami and the others are too busy to take care of themselves."

"Their chip industry has been greatly impacted by the Phoenix Group. The entire chip industry chain has been devastated, and now the voice of internal opposition is very loud."

"In addition to chips, the interests of their aviation companies such as Boeing and GE have also been severely damaged. Now there is a short-term chaos within them, and it is impossible to help us for the time being."

The old man with gray temples thought for a while, then said in a deep voice:
"I didn't expect that the Phoenix Group could really push Amei to this point!"

After saying this, he looked at everyone and said:
"The situation is becoming more and more unclear now, but it is impossible for us to stop these transactions now. Let all their acquisition plans go through."

"Other than that, we can only do everything we can to establish a good relationship with them and see if we can introduce their advanced robot technology..."

There was silence again in the conference room.

……

There has been a huge change in the official attitude of the Neon Kingdom.

With the smooth progress of the acquisition, the strength of Phoenix Robotics has ushered in a huge increase.

One month later, the "accompaniment robot" and "educational robot" developed by Phoenix Group went online at the same time!
As soon as the product was announced, it immediately attracted worldwide attention!
