Don't give me black technology

Chapter 143 Sales are on the rise!
In the WeChat group of parents of students, parents are complaining about tutoring their children's homework.

Liu Zihan's mother: "A arithmetic problem, Zihan couldn't turn the corner for a long time, I was so angry that I almost had a heart attack!"

Zhang Chenxing's mother: "Are all elementary school questions so difficult now? Is it homework or brain teasers? I'm so confused!"

Dai Muyang's father: "So I hired a tutor for my child!"

At this moment, a video was sent to the group, the ID is Fang Ping's mother, which is Fang Yun's wife.

In the video, Fang Yun held back his temper to help his children with their homework, and was on the verge of going berserk several times.But in the end, a smart speaker solves this problem, and the smart speaker is actually helping children with their homework!

The group immediately exploded, and Liu Zihan's mother: "@Fang Pingmama, where did you buy this? It's so easy to use!"

Fang Ping's mother: "I bought it online. The Mercury smart speaker is super easy to use, the voice recognition is very clear, the sound effect is good, and it can also control the home appliances at home. The most important thing is that it can actually help the children with their homework, which saves me and my husband. A bunch of brain cells!"

Zhang Chenxing's mother: "This thing is good! Our family Chenxing likes to learn, and asks this and that every day, and I don't have time to tutor him. Can this smart speaker explain clearly?"

Fang Ping's mother: "It should be possible. Now that there are so many tutoring and learning materials online, the smart speaker only needs to speak out."

Dai Muyang's father: "How much is this thing? Hurry up and buy one for my son too!"

Fang Ping's mother: "It's only 499 yuan! It's a price for conscience! Whoever buys it will know!"

Liu Zihan's mother: "@宋平妈妈, do you have a link to buy it?"

Zhang Chenxing's mother: "Same request!"

Fang Ping's mother: "Mercury smart speaker purchase link&."

Liu Zihan's mother: "Thank you! I'm going to buy one right now. As long as I can get out of the predicament of tutoring my children, a few hundred dollars will not be a problem!"

Fang Ping's mother: "It also has other functions, such as listening to music, listening to cross talk, telling stories to children, and broadcasting news to the elderly."

More parents in the group saw it and started asking, and some people forwarded the purchase link and sent it to friends they knew.

Fang Ping's mother saw that everyone was interested in this thing, so she edited the video and posted it on her short video account.

She sometimes plays short videos. She doesn't have many fans, only some relatives and friends follow, which belongs to self-entertainment.

Short video: "I bought an artifact, and I no longer have to worry about helping my children with their homework!"

She originally posted it for fun, but she didn't expect that the picture of helping children with homework in the video resonated with the audience, and there were 10,000+ people's likes and comments.

The second young master: "Why don't you post the purchase link? Are you looking down on me?"

Guan Guan: "Same as my husband, I can't wait to jump off the building as soon as I tutor my children!"

Come to the bowl: "Where can I buy this smart speaker? What brand is it?"

User 1784~54: "Our family lacks such a thing! Please buy the link!"

No big deal: "Isn't this voice too natural? It must be an advertisement!"

……

Mercury smart speakers sold only 10 units in the first week of their release, but in the second week, the sales doubled to 20 units, and the shipments not only did not show a decline, but also showed a trend of even more explosive growth.

In the third week, Deep Space Technology began to launch a large number of advertisements, and the weekly sales of Mercury smart speakers exceeded 27 units!

According to the sales curve estimate, the sales volume of Mercury smart speakers in the first month is estimated to exceed 90 units!

"According to user feedback, our product evaluation is very high." Pan Yu and Meng Xiaobai were talking about this matter, "This month, our smart speaker sales in the domestic market will surpass Apple and Rice, reaching No.3! "

"As far as the trend is concerned, we can completely stabilize the top three this quarter, and even surpass the No.2 Xiaodu speakers."

Meng Xiaobai has read the data report. In the international market, the best-selling smart speakers are the products of Amazon and Google.But in China, Ali's Tmall speakers have always ranked first in shipments, followed by Baidu and Rice speakers competing for second and third.

From the perspective of smart speaker sales, the sales volume of smart speakers this year has doubled compared with last year, with a year-on-year increase of 233%, and it has become the leader in new smart products.

"Maintain this trend and strive to be number one!" Meng Xiaobai said.

"This is our goal!" Pan Yu said with a smile, "However, compared with those big manufacturers, our disadvantages are still obvious, such as insufficient products, few series of products, no offline experience stores, and deficiencies in after-sales service. These problems must be solved. .”

Meng Xiaobai nodded. From the current point of view, the two smart products of the Mercury series are very successful, which will lay the foundation for his future layout.

At the same time as the launch of smart speakers, the research and development laboratory of Siben Electronics has not been idle, and has begun to develop supporting smart homes, such as smart sweeping robots, smart lights, smart locks, smart refrigerators and so on.

……

In Meidi Group, executives found that they still underestimated the rise speed of Mercury smart speakers.

"According to our survey data, the growth rate of users of Mercury smart speakers is [-] times more per week on average. At the same time, more and more users download their Mercury smart home software." Dong Chang looked cautious.

"I also heard that in our offline smart home experience store, many shopkeepers responded that some customers came into the store and asked whether our smart products support connecting to Mercury smart speakers. If they don't support it, they don't even look at it!" The high-level said.

Everyone had serious expressions on their faces. They had previously rejected the invitation to join the Mercury Smart Family. At that time, they felt that the other party was not worth mentioning, but in just one month, the other party's influence had penetrated into their user group!
"This smart speaker is not easy, we have to launch our own smart speaker!" said a senior executive.

The senior executives in charge of technology showed a helpless smile. It's easy to say, but is the related artificial intelligence technology so simple to develop?Among the peers, home appliance companies such as Haier and Haixin have also launched smart speakers, but unfortunately, sales are dismal and no one cares about them.

"Our own product research and development must keep up, but maybe we should change our attitude and get in touch with them." Dong Chang said, and several senior executives nodded.

Now, none of them dare to look down on the late star of Deep Space Technology.

Beijing, Dami Technology Co., Ltd., which was established in 2010, focuses on the research and development of intelligent hardware and electronic products.

Relying on the rice smartphone with affordable price, rice company took off rapidly, and began to lay out the industrial chain of smart hardware, consumer goods and electronic products, becoming a well-known brand among the people.

Guo Chuan, co-founder and senior vice president of Rice’s smart home business unit, looked at a comprehensive evaluation form for the “Mercury Smart Speaker” and frowned.

On the form, he clearly saw that the evaluation of this product is a little higher than their rice smart speaker, and from the sales point of view, it has begun to surpass the rice smart speaker.

This is not the first time he has seen similar data. As the general manager of smart home and rice TV-related businesses, he has paid attention to "Siben Electronics", or the company Deep Space Technology, after the Mercury Smart Screen was launched.

At that time, the birth of the Mercury Smart Screen took him by surprise. An electronics factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy and unknown in the consumer electronics field was able to launch such a powerful product!
In the following months, the sales of Mercury Smart Screen continued to rise, once threatening Daomi’s No. [-] position in TV screen sales.

Fortunately, they still kept this number one spot, but what made Guo Chuan feel aggrieved was that they didn't keep it because of word-of-mouth from users, it was purely because the price was much cheaper than the Mercury Smart Screen!

In the field of screen sales at high-end prices, Mercury Smart Screen has already ranked the highest in domestic sales.It is impossible for rice company not to pay attention to such an opponent, so Guo Chuan has been paying attention to Mercury’s smart speaker this time. The sales of speakers surpassed them and won more market share.
