Age of Dreams

Once the nest smart thermostat was released, after continuous media reports and agitation, it immediately caused a sensation in North America and even Western Europe. ◇↓Top ◇↓◇↓◇↓, ..

In the use of air-conditioning and electric heating facilities, North America and Western Europe are absolutely different from our Chinese and even people in most other countries.

In the case of China, heating is no longer needed. It is heated in winter in the north, and basically every room has it.

But except for the winter in the north, during the hottest and coldest periods, we Chinese still use air conditioners.

How is it generally used?

Of course, each room uses an air conditioner, the living room uses the living room, and the room uses the room. It is convenient to close and use in the area at any time, so as not to waste electricity.

Only a small number of households will install central air conditioners in their homes. You are not welcome. Although this central air conditioner includes all the rooms and living rooms, the cooling and heating effect will not be fast and effective. The load on the circuit is very heavy, and the power consumption is also very large, which is not practical at all.

However, people in the United States and Western Europe are different. Except for the poor who live in cheap apartments, every household is basically equipped with central air-conditioning or electric heating equipment.

As long as they are at home, as long as the weather is hot or cold, they are all turned on, sometimes at 4 o'clock.

Everyone can imagine what a waste of resources.

In this way, they still have the face to come to China with too much population and consume too much resources. It is really shameless.

Of course, Americans do not know that saving is good, but there was no way to save before-well, if their brains are really not enough, can you just turn on the air conditioner less?

Now the nest smart thermostat comes out, which not only has a dazzling appearance and intelligent control, but also saves about 0% of electricity and heating costs for the public every year. This is the best of both worlds!

People find it very interesting, and the government has even more grasped the connotation, that is, energy conservation!

To be honest, the current European and American countries, especially most developed countries in Europe, have basically become lazy countries. Tasty and lazy is like a grandfather, the national finances are almost completely worn down by them.

It is a great thing for these people to save energy and consume less resources, both for the country's finances and for the green and clean direction of the country's future development.

Therefore, on the same day, an official of the US Department of Energy came forward. Although the government has not formulated measures yet, he will definitely buy the nest smart thermostat personally. And actively promote the federal government to formulate bills to support the development of netlabs, and grant subsidies for the promotion of nest smart thermostats.

Next to the United States is Canada. This country’s lifestyle is basically exactly the same as the United States. Therefore, the competent officials of their environmental affairs department directly shouted that Canada is willing to open a green channel for nest smart thermostats, including tax relief, policy support, etc. , So that they can better develop in Canada.

Simultaneously. Officials from the Ministry of the Interior of the United Kingdom and Germany also stated that they are looking forward to the nest smart thermostat coming to their country. Contribute positive forces to the energy conservation, emission reduction and green life of the two countries.

After all this tossing, the public's interest in the nest smart thermostat has also greatly increased, and they want to buy it to see if it is as magical as the one in the pass.

The price of the nest smart thermostat is not cheap. Xiao Qi's price is 88 US dollars, which is about 1% more expensive than the 50 US dollars when it was just launched in the previous life.

But this is good value for money.

Because Xiao Qi has not only made a level that surpasses the first generation of the nest smart thermostat. And also used some of the skills of nest smart thermostat's mortal enemy to it.

The products were originally prepared for sale in 014, but many of their details were disclosed in 2001, which is just convenient for Xiao Qi to use.

Now there is no shadow, Xiao Qi uses it with peace of mind.

On the day of the conference, Amazon, Best Buy, and Wal-Mart were online. The nest smart thermostat sold 10,000 units, and the sales volume reached 80,000 units the next day. The number of consultations and bookings on the Internet has skyrocketed.

Netlabs' spot inventory was in a hurry, and it greatly exceeded the expectations of the company's executives.

Xiao Qi was also shocked, because the previous nest smart thermostat only maintained a monthly shipment of 40,000 to 50,000 a month after it was released for one year. As a result, it was only two days, which is equivalent to the original nest smart thermostat. The sales of the device in the month of sale have increased.

Originally, Xiao Qi still wondered whether he would have to wait for the government to fully subsidize the nest smart thermostats. You should know that if the US government hadn't taken the lead in buying each nest in the previous life, Users of smart thermostats are subsidized, and God knows how long it will take for the nest smart thermostat to become popular.

However, after thinking about it, the current good situation did not fall from the sky.

First of all, with the reminder of Xiao Qi's diagrams and ideas, and with Xiao Qi's various algorithm ideas, the nest smart thermostat has not taken a detour from the beginning.

Then Xiao Qi also gave Fadell and Rogers the best R&D funds. What kind of professional equipment they want, Xiao Qi did not hesitate to approve the funds, and what kind of professional talents he wanted. Xiao Qi also worked hard to dig it up with a high salary, which can be described as a good soldier. The strong will come together.

But even so, it has been almost a year and a half since the concept was put forward until the netlabs company launched the first smart product. This shows that they are serious and professional about the nest smart thermostat.

How can a product made with such excellence be unsuccessful?

For this reason, the investment department of Standard Chartered Bank gave netlabs a valuation of 1 billion U.S. dollars. There is no problem at all.

In fact, the valuation given by the second HSBC bank has exceeded 1.5 billion U.S. dollars.

But these have nothing to do with Xiao Qi.

Netlabs is Xiao Qi’s future smart home, and can only be a very core component of life. For such a precious company, Xiao Qi not only will not sell shares, but also the shares of Fadell and Rogers will continue to be diluted. Finally, the management Only 5% of the shares can be held at most, and the rest will be held by member companies of the Xiao Foundation.

Therefore, no matter how high the external valuation is, even if it reaches 10 billion US dollars or 100 billion US dollars, it is impossible to buy shares of netlabs.

Of course, a nest smart thermostat cannot be called a smart home life.

Another smoke alarm is also based on intelligence. It is also different from traditional smoke alarms. It is very dazzling and colorful.

Smoke alarms are even more versatile than nest smart thermostats.

Because the nest smart thermostat can basically only be used at home, or in local restaurants, etc., in large companies, commercial buildings, etc., there is no way to use it-if you do energy saving and emission reduction in these places, it will definitely be You were scolded to death, and even many people think that you are deducting the treatment of the employees because you have no money.

To talk about face, it's not just Chinese people, people everywhere in the world are the same, the difference is whether there is this ability to want face.

But the smoke alarm is different. It can be used everywhere, whether it is at home or in an office, in office buildings or shopping malls, or even on ships.

The smoke alarm has long been developed, and the product has been produced and stocked together with the nest smart thermostat. However, the release of two products at the same time involves a lot of energy and does not comply with Fadell's principle of concentration, so it has to wait until the nest smart thermostat is available After the sales and feedback are good, release it in a few months.

When it comes to this specific operation, Fadel is an expert, and Xiao Qi will naturally not bother.

However, in terms of production, Xiao Qi greeted Fadell. From the beginning, he put the nest smart thermostat and smoke alarm in the winter hall for production, and he still chose the foundry.

He didn't put the factory in Rongcheng or in Shuchuan. When Zhang Zhanzhao was chatting during the New Year, he still complained a little bit about Xiao Qi.

But Xiao Xu didn't care much. On the one hand, he was not an angry person~www.readwn.com~ On the other hand, Xiao Qi had also been with him. If all the factories were located in Shuchuan, then it would undoubtedly be very annoying. The kind of hatred.

Benefits cannot be shared by everyone, but must be shared with some people, so as to have reliable friends.

Xiao Qi has cloud computing and cloud storage centers, circuit board factories in the East, and Mingxing Electronics and Yinhuang Electronics factories in Nanwan and Dongguan.

This time I put the nest smart thermostat and smoke alarm in the winter hall production, mainly because of the industrial technological advantages over there and the most detailed industrial supporting facilities.

After the European and American markets are fully opened, the annual shipment of nest smart thermostats will be about 0 million units, and the number of smoke alarms will be about 5 million units per year. The number of workers required is small, but the added output value is good.

It is also because the foundry fees given by Xiao Qi have always been very high. When discussing cooperation in the Winter Pavilion last year, the foundries in Baodao and the Mainland robbed their heads. Even Guo Taiming, Yan Chenglong and Li Chao were mixed up. And come in.

It can also be seen from this that the Fairy Company has already established a reputation and has become a commissioned producer that everyone supports and loves! (To be continued...)
