Age of Dreams

nextlabs company.

The smart home company established by Xiao Qi in this life, long before it was established, Xiao Qi gave them two outstanding products.

One is the next smart thermostat.

The other is a smoke alarm.

Both smart home products have a large market in North America, and it is also Xiao Qi's biggest magic weapon for the two geniuses Danny Fadell and Matt Rogers to join nextlabs willingly.

As early as May and June last year, Nextlabs was established.

After the establishment, the two have been thinking about the next smart thermostat and smoke alarm given by Xiao Qi.

When Danny Fadell created it, he was used to creating the most accommodating functions in the smallest space.

This concept was vividly demonstrated on his smart thermostat in the previous life.

Therefore, even if there are detailed design concepts, drawings and parameters given by Xiao Qi, smart electronic home products are not so easy to make.

It involves some industrial and electronic technology restrictions, requiring strict R&D and manufacturing to polish the two smart home products.

There are also smart home products that must be in sync with the fairy system. It is an intelligent concept developed based on the fairy system. This is also a matter of both advantages and difficulties.

The advantage is that they don’t need to redesign a smart program, which is very convenient and can be used directly.

The difficulty is that to a certain extent, the two smart home products must accommodate the fairy system and develop various program instructions along with it, which will test technology and brains even more.

However, the two are indeed geniuses, after half a year. Both products have entered the third round of hardware and software matching test phase, I believe that in a few months, they will be officially launched on the market.

Xiao Qi is not in a hurry about this. The most taboo thing about making a product is to seize the time and craft it to create a boutique.

Only high-quality goods can really make money.

Those things that fell silent only when they became popular in the market. It was not what Xiao Qi wanted to pursue.

Xiao Qi really wants to make products like ipad that can last for decades in the market.

Fadell and Rogers both felt very comfortable with Xiao Qi's character of never urging and satisfying the funds as good bosses. They felt that it was definitely a wise choice to start a company with Xiao Qi.

Because they had never seen someone as patient as Xiao Qi, even the leader of Qiao's gang couldn't match it.

If it is the leader of Qiao, who has taken out all the design data and drawings, and you have not taken out the finished product for half a year, you will wait for him to scold you like a hair dryer.

And Xiao Qi didn't care about these products. In fact, every time they encounter a technical problem, when they write to Xiao Qi for discussion, Xiao Qi will reply in earnest as soon as he knows. If he knows it, he will talk in detail, and if he doesn’t know, he will go to the fairy laboratory experts to help solve it. Carefully and cautiously.

There is a saying in China that a scholar dies for his confidant, and in the United States the same applies.

Xiao Qi treats them like this, they are naturally the constant research and development of forgetting to sleep and eat. I hope to come up with a product that will shock the entire smart home industry and make a name for myself. Create better company profits for Xiao Qi.

After chatting about the improvement of the environment for a while, Xiao Qi coaxed the mother-to-be good wife to take a nap, then came out of the room and called Fadell directly.

"Little Qi, how are you!" Fadell yawned. "It's late at night in your Chinese time. Why do you have time to call me?"

The time of a technical nerd is absolutely not fixed, whether it is rest or work.

Although Fadell is the president of Nextlabs, he rarely found the excitement of being a small engineer at the beginning. He was a little sleepy and forgetful at work, and lived in the company's laboratory for at least three days a week.

"I'm in America now." Xiao Qi said with a smile. "I have something important to trouble you."

"Oh, what's the matter? Did you come to California?" Fadell became sober after hearing that it was an important matter.

"I'm in New York, so I won't come here for the time being." Xiao Qi said harmoniously: "Do you know an environmental expert? An expert on indoor air purifiers?"

"I don't know." Fadell said simply, "but I know that there are several companies that have researched this aspect. The most researched are us Americans, followed by Canadians, Italians and Japanese. You What do you want to do?"

"I need to set up a special air purifier department to produce air purifiers that match our smart homes. What do you think?" Xiao Qi asked.

"This is completely unnecessary." Fadell shook his head. "This project is so huge that we are not familiar with air purifiers."

"Before you made the smart thermostat and smoke alarm I gave you, were you familiar with them?" Xiao Qi asked him back.

"This one……"

"Okay, don't think about it too much." Xiao Qi said sternly: "Our smart home will definitely be connected to the smart products of the whole family in the future. Two smart home products will satisfy you? Me? But be prepared to control every family!"

Fadell gasped.

Xiao Qi's plan is really awesome.

Want to control the entire smart home?

How many products have to be made, and how much money and effort has to be paid?

But as Xiao Qi said, if you really join this plan yourself and lead this plan, how much reputation and reputation should you gain?

At that time, even your idol Joe’s gang leader may not be able to compare with your own, right?

Fadell is a person with creative and development ambitions, otherwise he would not give up Apple's high salary in his previous life, and he would create nextlabs with nothing.

Fadelton was very moved when thinking about the big pie Xiao Qi drew for him.

Now that they are all started, why can't they be bigger?

Anyway, with the support of Xiao Qi's endless wealth, we need talents and talents, and equipment and equipment. Why not try it?

Xiao Qi asked Fadell to digest what he meant before continuing to say, "Isn't the two projects on hand now in the phase of actual testing? You will do this for the next first task! If you don’t have the right talent, you can hire it. If it’s not possible, we will buy the studio directly, and the studio will buy the company directly! What I want is the results, Danny, can you do it?"

"I'll work hard!"

Fadell didn't dare to speak up, so he could only agree seriously.

Xiao Qi said first: "Danny, you and Matt can rest assured, although I will continue to invest money and establish new departments, your shares may be diluted, but as the chief technology officer, your treatment is still It will not change! What you enjoy is a 10% dividend of the company's profits!"

"Oh, I see, thank you Qi Shao." Fadel didn't have any comments on this. Although he was a little happy, he was not excited.

The reason is simple. Although Fadell has half of his work in administration, he is still a technical nerd in the final analysis, and he does not value money so much. ——Of course, this is also Xiao Qi giving him 40 million US dollars worth of shares, plus an annual salary of 5 million US dollars, 20% profit sharing of the next smart thermostat and smoke alarm, and 10% of the company's other business profit sharing in the future.

Calculating this way, he can get at least 10 million U.S. dollars or more every year, which can be regarded as a high salary everywhere, enough to make the family live a good life.

Then this is enough.

Believe Matt Rogers thinks so too.

Fadell and Rogers care more about how to grow Nextlabs and how to write their own immortal chapters here.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qi didn't think about it anymore.

The household penetration rate of air purifiers in the United States is 27%, the first in the world. There are a large number of laboratories and companies engaged in air purifier research.

With Fadell's vision and enough money to acquire good companies, there is absolutely no reason to fail.

Even if it fails, there is a chance to come back again. After several tossings, it will naturally succeed.

Anyway, the smog and PM2.5 in China are not very severe now, at least not reaching the situation in 2013, so Xiao Qi estimated that it would be more appropriate to start implementing it in 2012.

Of course, with Yu Chengsheng's promotion, maybe the concern about air quality will start ahead of schedule.

After all, there is a large industrial group in China. Take the surrounding capital as an example. This is still the capital, but the surrounding steel plants, oil processing plants, etc. have not solved the problem for many years~www.readwn.com~This shows that governance Air pollution is not so easy, and it is absolutely impossible to get immediate results at will.

In other words, the smart home life in the United States has not yet started.

If next smart thermostats, smoke alarms, and smart air purifiers continue to be introduced, then nextlabs will definitely affect the smart homes of Americans, and then expand its sphere of influence to Europe, Japan, South Korea and other countries.

The most important thing is that nextlabs is not like Xiao Qi's other investments, it does not exist alone.

Relying on the link of the fairy system, it will immediately become an important part of the fairy company system, which in turn will promote the stickiness of the fairy system user names and increase the sales of the fairy company’s mobile phones and tablets.

Therefore, Xiao Qi constantly develops new smart home projects and continuously dilutes the shares of Fadell and Rogers, which is also a matter of reason.

At least more than 95% of the shares must be obtained to meet the core position of Nextlabs in the fairy family! (To be continued...) u
