Coquettish Rebirth

"Grandpa, I think we have to design a hub for smart appliances..." After Jia Hongjian hung up the phone with Changhong, he came to Ni Guangnan's office and chatted with Ni Guangnan, the chief technology officer of Huaxia Hi-Tech.The so-called chief technology officer is a step further than the chief engineer. It is the vision and strategy of the entire enterprise related to technology, grasps the overall technology direction, supervises technology research and development activities, and guides and discusses technology selection and specific technical issues. Check and complete the assigned technical tasks and projects.Generally speaking, the title of chief technology officer is a fashion statement, and it can also be named as a cto, which looks very trendy.But such a position is not without similarities in the past. In the past, this position was called the deputy general manager or vice president in charge of technology!

This is like the various deputy mayors in our Chinese cities, basically manpower is in charge of some aspects.For example, those who are in charge of sports tourism intellectual property history and women and children's work, can't they also get a name like c or o?Isn't he the chief official in charge of these affairs in this city!Ni Guangnan is now in charge of managing the technological direction of the entire enterprise in Huaxia Hi-Tech, and basically has not conducted in-depth research on the front line.The old man was born in 1939, and he will be 70 years old in two years!He is already 68 years old, should we Huaxia Hi-Tech still drive him to fight on the front line of scientific research?If you put it in schools and various institutions, you can retire at this age, and enjoy the happiness of family life!So in the past few years, Jia Hongjian and the others have also let the old man gradually withdraw from the front line, and he is mainly doing some leadership work in the second line.In this way, the work intensity is not high, and the old man can still use his spare heat as a whole. Isn't this good?

"Center? How do you say it?" Ni Guangnan felt as if he could hear some ideas from Jia Hongjian that he had never thought of before. "The so-called center is not actually the same as the central nervous system of a person, but as an operation center node that is presented to consumers. For example...a router is used as the center. Consumers can use the router operation page to see all the information in the home. Summary information of various smart appliances, such as how much electricity is consumed this month, how much electricity bills are spent, and whether there is any follow-up built-in software upgrade information for smart appliances, etc... For example, parents can remotely access the router’s operation page through their mobile phones at work , monitor what channel the child watches at home and how long they watch it for, and at the same time monitor how long the child’s computer has been online, what things have been downloaded, which websites they have visited, and what data has been transmitted...”

Mobile phone remote monitoring?When Ni Guangnan heard this, he felt a wave of fury in his heart!It's not that Ni Guangnan attaches great importance to the human rights of young people, it's not that he thinks that Jia Hongjian's development of this kind of thing is simply a destructive evil from the perspective of young people!He is an old man. Although his views on educating children are not as conservative and traditional as those of his peers who have not gone to school, they are not so enlightened!In his opinion, monitoring children is very necessary!The child has no self-control, how can he play casually?And now that there is so much information related to pornography on the Internet, what if the child learns badly?Moreover, in recent years, there have been endless news about Internet addiction and children addicted to games. In such a situation, parents can remotely know what their children are doing through their mobile phones.What a wonderful thing!

He really didn't expect that the Internet and home appliances could be combined in this way!On the one hand, he himself is engaged in software such as Chinese character input and pattern recognition, and has nothing to do with the Internet and home appliances. In terms of hardware, he is more concerned with researching communication and various mobile phones and computers that Jia Hongjian needs. The internal hardware design of the Internet, these have nothing to do with how the Internet changes life!If it is true that everything can be done as Jia Hongjian said, how much contribution can it make to family education?Even considering the market, parents will be interested in this product!After all, parents in East Asian countries pay more attention to their children's learning than parents in other countries in the world!This is the tradition of Confucianism and scientific research for thousands of years!Just like Japan and South Korea, the pressure on students to study is also great.Parents are also very concerned about their children's academic performance!This thing will definitely attract the attention of hundreds of millions of parents!

Just when Ni Guangnan was surprised, he saw Jia Hongjian thinking thoughtfully and said: "It is estimated that 80% of the parents in our country are not very good at dealing with routers and other things. Let them have A certain computer and network foundation are still too demanding, why don’t we build an LCD screen on the router? At the same time, make the router’s operation page foolish, so that consumers can learn quickly without computer foundation at all?” Hearing Jia Hongjian Having said that, Ni Guangnan was even more surprised!Get an LCD screen on the router!Such an idea has never been thought of!You must know that even the more professional routers in the world, such as routers imported from the United States that sell for one or two thousand, are actually about the same length as domestic routers that cost one or two hundred!It's just that the appearance is made to look better!

For these communication companies.Those who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy routers must be professionals, at least they must be knowledgeable, otherwise ordinary people can use a router for 100 yuan, why would they buy a router for 2000 yuan?Since it is knowledgeable.Then there is no need to be too stupid for this router!As for the manufacturers who produce cheap messy routers, the routers they make are sold to ordinary people. It is true that these ordinary people need foolish routers, but the problem is that these consumers do not understand!Therefore, they will use their own logic to judge whether the product is worth the price!For example, a similar company produces a router that costs 80 yuan, and this company produces a router that costs 120 yuan. Consumers go to street computer stores to buy it. When they see that the two prices are different, they will definitely ask why.

The store owner can say that the signal of 120 is relatively strong, and the signal of 80 is relatively average, and consumers can understand this.But the problem is that an LCD screen is added to a 120-based router, and it takes a lot of effort to make the router's built-in setting page look like a fool. How much does it cost?Looking back, the router with the original price of 120 may cost 500!At this time, when consumers see this router at 500, they will not ask why it is worth 500!The price of routers in many consumers' minds is only around 200 yuan, and they no longer consider routers that cost [-] yuan.I no longer think about whether this thing is suitable for them or not!This is one of their evaluation systems. Most of the time, they don't consider whether they are suitable or not, but because of the price!

"But if we do this, the cost will increase a lot, right?" Ni Guangnan asked after thinking about Jia Hongjian's plan. "It must be so," Jia Hongjian nodded, he knew no matter how good his thoughts were.In many cases, products are still subject to the physical rules of this world.To get an LCD screen, the cost of a 7-inch screen in this era is about a hundred and ten yuan, plus a bunch of things such as heat dissipation and display chips, as well as internal software upgrades and redesigns, and finally the overall cost is averaged out. A price increase Almost 300 yuan is normal!In addition to investing so much, if you want to earn more than before, the price will naturally be higher, then naturally the price of a router of about 500 yuan will be about [-] yuan.

这么一个价格肯定不能足够吸引消费者，但是贾鸿渐觉得可以挑战一下！像是历史上人家小米不是也弄出来了700多块钱的路由器么？人家能这么玩儿。咱们怎么不能玩儿的更大？人家700多的路由器里面内置了一个硬盘，咱们现在设计没硬盘，但是也可以塞进去一个硬盘啊！在这2007年，年中的时候120g硬盘已经跌破了400元的价格，到了380左右，160g的硬盘价格也不过450元左右，而80g的硬盘终端零售价也不过是350元左右。咱们作为厂商大量拿货的话，160g硬盘怎么都能至少400拿到手吧？而80g的甚至300甚至280多久能拿下。毕竟80g的硬盘现在已经马上要过主流期了，装新机的消费者都开始把目光对准120g和160g了。80g存货自然需要进行促销处理。这样一来的话，咱们800元以内也能做出来内含硬盘的路由器啊！

"Grandpa, how about we make a router with a built-in hard disk? If consumers want to download something, they don't need to turn it on before going to work to download it. They just need to use the router to download it..." Jia Hongjian said his thoughts come out.But who knows that this time Ni Guangnan was surprised and seemed unable to accept it, "Built-in hard disk? What's the use? Ordinary people don't need a server at home, and they don't need to download things every day. If we want to watch movies or something, it's not that our smart TVs have to do the corresponding genuine movies and TV. Is there a library?" This sounds right, if there is a genuine video library and you can watch it online, why do you need a router with a built-in hard disk?Do you want ordinary people to download pirated versions and watch them?The problem is that if we want to get genuine, we must fight against piracy!It is not easy to catch ordinary people who download pirated versions.However, if you catch websites that provide pirated copies, you can catch one!So why get a router with a built-in hard drive?

Seeing that the old man couldn't understand, Jia Hongjian smiled and explained, "Because ordinary people don't necessarily have to watch movies online. In our country, ordinary people's home bandwidth is not large, and ordinary people in Shanghai usually use it." It is 1m or 2m adsl. With such a small bandwidth, if men play online games at home at night, women will easily steal the bandwidth and make men play games very slow. Then when our router has After the hard disk is installed, the woman can use the mobile phone to remotely control the router to start downloading movies and TV shows during working hours, and she can watch them directly when she returns home at night. In this way, there is no need to look for a laptop or a desktop computer. It can also avoid a lot of family conflicts by driving the download all day long. Even if a man plays games, he can use the router to download the game or the game’s upgrade patch during the day, and then he can install it and play it directly when he returns home at night. This saves time. Does it save power compared to running the computer?" (To be continued...)
