"You do not believe?"

"I do not believe."

"I don't believe it either—but that's the way it is!"

An engineer in work uniform flicked the paper in his hand: "This is what Party A needs!"

On one floor of the consumer electronics sales department, designers collectively curse.

They are responsible for the design of home appliances, to be precise, they are the tinkerers responsible for the 'integration of the industrial chain' of Aier's home appliances.

It’s a household appliance these days. Look at what molds and assembly parts are there. Put it together and put it together, it’s another good product.

As long as you do a good job in price reduction and promotion, it will be a hit, which has been tried and tested.

But what are you holding in your hands now?ah?Is this something we can do?

What is a smart home?What is full scene customization?What is cloud platform interaction?What is perception without breakpoint

You translate for me, how (TM) is this (TM) designed to be (TM) so sci-fi!

It is a kind of enjoyment to return home, and the home is a comfortable haven-how many engineers and designers are there for this meal?

This is going to the rooftop!Want them down?That has to be signed!

"Ahem...don't talk, Boss Ai is here!"

When everyone was holding the requirements of Party A in their hands and wanted to scold their mothers, the engineer's team leader strolled in and lowered his voice to warn everyone that the boss was coming.

Come on, don't go to the rooftop, let's listen to how Mr. Ai draws cakes...

Jing Ershao strode into the office, followed by two executives carrying boxes.

Most of the people in the consumer electronics business department have known him these days, the second youngest of the famous group, the sea turtle elite, young and rich.

Well, the most important thing is that the three fires of taking office directly burned several senior executives in their design department...

"I heard that the design department can't understand the requirements of this idea. I'm here to meet with you and communicate with each other."

Jing Er Shao didn't hold it, but was very sincere - mainly because he had met Alia before.

The small customer service knows what design, if the small customer service says professional things, leave it to professional people, you have to trust them.

Jing Ershao said I said it, but they said it couldn't be done.

The little customer service said that you go to meet them in person, get the bonus in your left hand, and 200% of the design requirements in your right hand. If you can achieve 100% in the end, then you will be rewarded!

After all, Party B always likes a compromise, just like Party A always likes the first version of the design draft, everyone is used to falling in love with each other...

Jing Ershao was kind and generous, and raised 100 million in cash, and now he came here and directly smashed the scene—ah, no—the need for kind communication came.

After all, if he doesn't come, the content passed on layer by layer will change sooner or later.

Boss: We want a speedboat.

Executive: The boss said he wanted a big, nice, fast speedboat like a battlecruiser.

Processing Budget: Canoe Money

The final product: a pared-back, unremarkable speedboat...

Jing Er Shao came, and he met the person in charge of this design project, Chen Gong from the designer team, in the conference room.

Accompanied by Mr. Chen were several senior executives. They sat in the translucent frosted glass conference room, waiting for Second Young Master Jing to finish his work.

Through the waistline of the glass, you can see that more than 50 designers who are crowded with offices outside are busy—they are also looking inside!

Jing Ershao cleared his throat: "Hi everyone, I am the CEO of the department who only works for a few days. My name is Ai Lijing."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, this CEO is unusual, his style is quite special, he seems to be a trainee.

Is this in line with executive PUA?

Jing Er Shao didn't know that they were slandering him for his lack of hair, so he just looked at the person in charge of the project and cut straight to the point.

"Chen Gong, how is the design progress of the new product?"

"Well, Mr. Ai, you have also seen from our side that more than 50 designers are working together, and everyone's progress is very good."

Jing Ershao nodded: "That's it... Then let's talk about the next plan first, and also, let's summarize everyone's previous project designs. Let's take a look at the details together in 10 minutes."

"……10 minutes?!"

An executive next to Mr. Chen stood up in shock, and everyone could hear the sound coming from the conference room where the door was not closed.

The designers outside were in an uproar, and a group of people could even be vaguely seen howling and frantically.

——That was everyone's crazy mood.

Summary! 10 minutes? !

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! They need to give me at least two days to coordinate design revisions and alignment!"

"Resign! Resign - I can't do it anymore! If you don't stay here, you have to stay here—"

"This is a bonus for condolences to everyone who has worked overtime these days." Jing Ershao's voice interrupted the upcoming tragedy.

Everyone's eyes shifted to the meeting room at once. In the half-transparent glass waistline, they could see Jing Ershao opened a box.

cash!A box of cash! !

"Five thousand per person, counting the overtime pay and project rewards for the past few days, Chen Gong, you are a part-time project manager, and wait for you to distribute the money. Everyone has really worked hard."

The designer team was silent for a while, then sat down one after another, and entered the work efficiency and posture that only appeared in movies.

"Information! Where is the information about group A?"

"Coordination! There are three options for the appearance design of Group C, which one to choose?!"

"Group B, come over and put this modeling on, I'll give you 3 minutes!!"

"Tell the technical side that if they can't meet this energy consumption index, they will go shit—"

In the conference room, everyone looked at the executive who stood up and did not speak.

The latter wiped his sweat and sat down: "10 minutes... yes, yes, we've already finished the first draft..."

The most taboo thing about product design is speed. This is not about this or that problem, but that it will make the boss or Party A feel that you have no intentions.

It's like Michelangelo wanted to sprinkle a handful of lime on the nose of his sculpture to deal with those nitpicking spectators.

In this impetuous age, if the boss gives you three days, even if there are ready-made plans, most of them will have to wait until the third day before submitting them.

Otherwise, if you finish your work on the first day, will you be given a holiday for the remaining two days?

As for the salary and rewards, it is even harder to say, as we all know that design is not understood by people-isn’t this just a matter of moving the mouse?

What pain, sweat, and inspiration are behind it? What are those things?That can't be quantified, okay?

Before the product came out, it was self-impressed to blow the hype, but after it came out, it sold well, so what's the matter with the design team?

That must be the boss's unique vision...

So generally speaking, formal design teams need to negotiate salary according to the project, and some even ask for profit commission of the project.

But that's the designer team, not the designer screws that are raised by the group—let's talk about this month's salary, my family, talking about money hurts feelings...

Jing Ershao has no experience in line with the way of executive PUA, he only knows two things.

First, this job is complex and difficult, and requires professionals.

Second, the old lady said that pancakes are not as good as painted cakes, don't just let the donkey pull the mill and not give carrots.

The profit distribution of the project is temporarily uncertain, so just send the money directly!

Ever since, Jing Ershao developed a habit that will be criticized as one of the "most shameless means of competition" in the future, that is, throwing cash in big boxes and smashing people everywhere.

Technology, I can't do it, spending money, you can't - this project, please everyone...

……

……

"A house is a necessary property of a family, and it is the core property!"

Second Young Master Jing made it clear, pointing to the word "house" in the day class, as if he was teaching the child to read.

"And the most important part that determines the quality of life in a house is home appliances!"

Everyone nodded, well said, well said, carefully recorded - but the problem is who doesn't know these vernacular?

"Many people think that this track has reached a dead end. What else can home appliances do? It is nothing more than stockpiling materials, changing the design appearance, or reducing prices to increase volume."

Jing Ershao then asked everyone to spread out the plan in their hands, and once again clarified the core idea of ​​this design: "The whole house is smart! Human-computer interaction!"

"Boss Ai, we actually understand what you said, but..."

"No, no, no, Mr. Chen, I came here because you didn't understand."

Jing Ershao interrupted Chen Gong's defense: "I saw your thinking, the so-called smart home appliances, you just have an extra screen to display more information, and there are even smart people who add advertisements and news on it, you know My sister...cough, do you know how we felt after watching it?"

"...how does it feel?"

"That's smart for smart's sake, a gimmick, not a real selling point!"

"Then what are we going to do?"

"I came this time and brought two things."

Jing Ershao opened another box. Inside the box were several special keychains—or small chips made into keychains.

"This is the IoT chip we just got. What I want is to redesign the entire intelligent interaction idea based on this chip as the core."

"This..." Everyone took the chip and passed it on for a while, but they didn't have any clues for a while.

What is the new way of thinking?

"Let me give you an example. If you buy the full-scenario custom furniture of Aier Home Appliances in the future, and all the home appliances are connected to an Internet of Things platform, then your home appliances should not be independent entities. When you wake up in the morning, The automatic curtain machine helped you close the light-blocking curtains when you were sleeping last night, and it will automatically open for you in the morning, giving you the warmest and most comfortable sunshine, and waking you up by shining on your face. The temperature and humidity monitoring is The linked ones are more delicate than human beings with hindsight and will not be irritable, taking care of your life."

"..."

"You get up and take a shower. Your mirror has the weather forecast, the current political news, and the schedule you casually let the voice intelligence software record yesterday."

"...?"

"When you go out, the smart home detection equipment in your home detects that you close the door, and it will automatically check whether the lights are off, whether the gas in the kitchen is off, and then help you turn on the access control monitoring and pet care equipment at home. .”

"...??"

"You cook at home, and your kitchen appliances have matching recipes and a list of corresponding baking ingredients. It's like buying a bread machine. All you need to learn is to throw these ingredients into it, and then it will knead and ferment. , Baking...Finally tell you that the bread is ready and you can eat it, you don’t need a lot of time to learn, of course, if you like cooking, you can also learn to create by yourself, but we have to have a comprehensive solution for customers.”

Executives exchange glances—is he talking about some sci-fi scenario?

Oh, the bread machine doesn’t count, it’s that simple, just build in the way of mixing the dough and the baking heating time program…

"Here, Mr. Ai..."

Chen Gong had to bite the bullet and interrupt Jing Ershao's speech: "Your idea is very good, but with all due respect, it seems difficult to do it."

"This is a vision, so we have to start with a single product, and to achieve this final vision of the future, there are two key points."

Jing Ershao held up the chip: "First, we have our own chip design solutions for the access platform, so we can figure out how to do our IoT system from the very beginning instead of tinkering with it. For other plans, I think everyone should be able to understand the difficulties, right?"

"Ok, Ok……"

"In the future, all products of our Aire home appliances must be able to connect to the intelligent management terminal of Aire home appliances! Infrared, Bluetooth, wifi, NFC... All connection methods that can be connected must be connected. I want the mobile phone to be close to the home appliances in the future. As soon as the NFC tag is touched, a prompt will pop up, and it will be automatically detected and incorporated into the home platform!"

"In that case, we need procedures—"

"You have to recruit one hundred programmers, and this is the minimum requirement. As many as you need in the future, just report to the personnel department!"

"...Yes, I understand."

"Second, I want all products to have a unified design style to ensure the coordination of interconnection and interoperability. It is better to have less than too much, and rather fine than excessive. It cannot be said that my product line has 8 different types of lights, and then I add to search , I have to choose from various options when I merge into the platform. When I use it, I need to add extra accessories of this kind...absolutely not allowed! Ease of use is the first priority. If you have children in your family, the kind under the age of [-] , they can use it casually, that's what we want!"

Project managers and executives are no longer dizzy, but numb.

Why do we really need a Star Destroyer? Can't we talk about the sampan?

"Boss Ai, these ideas are very good, but..."

"Lack of talent?" Jing Ershao pushed the flat glasses: "Is there still a shortage? Tell me."

"Lack, lack of experience..."
