Chapter 554: Daily Life

Wei Lan looked at the round, fat, water-drop-shaped thing on the desk, which was plugged into electricity, suspended at the distance of a finger above the base, its eyes narrowed into a curved line, turning around in circles. The projection position on its chest emitted laser beams, changing into various shapes and shining everywhere in the room.

She had of course heard Wang Yan talk about the functions of this intelligent speaker, but now that she had actually experienced it, she never expected it to be so powerful and have such a sense of technology.

Dizzied by this thing spinning, Wei Lan said: "Alright, stop spinning, or I'll cut off your power."

Without triggering a specific name, the spinning little thing stopped by itself and turned off the projection. When it was spinning, it scanned the environment in the room, confirming that there were only two people in the room at the moment, and it was the only one spinning, and it was the one threatened with power cut. Immediately, it looked at Wei Lan with teary big eyes, and a wronged electronic synthesized voice sounded: "Can't I stop spinning? Don't always threaten to cut off the power; it's too bullying, how can you bear it..."

Looking at that appearance, Wei Lan couldn't help asking: "Is selling it for 999 cheap? It's suspended, projected, and so intelligent; is our cost very high?"

"Saying it's high, it's actually not that high." Wang Yan casually unplugged the power cord and said: "The external materials are all plastic shells, and inside there are two small broken cameras, junk projection, speakers with average sound quality, and non-contact wireless charging. These are all quite mature and very cheap. Our ex-factory price is only four hundred. This is mainly because the OEM factory is small, our company has no reputation, and it is a new product. Although we know it can be sold, we can't estimate how many sales it can have, so it was a bit high. If we were a big factory with a reputation and customer following, then our cost could even be pressed to three hundred.

But the most important thing is actually the program written into the chip, but that was all developed by myself. If we used a team, the cost of a single unit might rise by another fifty to one hundred. But it's quite good now. What I signed with that boss is a sales contract. Below one hundred thousand units, it is 480, above one hundred thousand, it can reach 380, and above two hundred thousand, it can reach 350. If we can ship two hundred thousand units, that is about seven percent of the market share of intelligent speakers, and the net profit is more than one hundred million."

Wei Lan looked at it because it couldn't guarantee its shape after being powered off, and let out a long breath. She felt that this product could really sell two hundred thousand units. Because she had played with it for a long time just now, the feeling was very good, and she even wanted to play with this little thing for a while.

She asked: "When will it be on the market for sale?"

"It's running procedures, maybe it will take three to five days. Only then can we post videos for publicity, and then accept online reservations, and then arrange production according to the number of reservations, trying not to press goods. Our volume is too small, we can't afford to press, and there are many places to use money. That is equivalent to seeds. These people who receive the goods will definitely not be able to help but want to take videos to show off. Our product has no problems, and getting on the hot list is easy. Just wait to count the money."

"Then should we start recruiting people again? To do smart homes, those lights, switches, sweeping robots, etc., also need to recruit people to research? And acquire another factory, we produce it ourselves, further reducing costs?"

"Recruiting people is certain, but we can't earn all the money." Wang Yan shook his head: "By the time our company grows big and has room for bargaining, the factory that OEMs for us is actually earning hard-earned money. There is no need to save that money. For some things that are not key technologies and can be completed by industrial chain division and cooperation, we should try our best to let profit to others. Everyone has money to earn, don't eat alone, don't engage in monopoly, you are good, I am good, everyone is good."

"Have a pattern." Wei Lan smiled and gave a thumbs up. She was just following the train of thought, and didn't have any other meaning. Anyway, according to the current trend of development, their money really couldn't be spent. Whether to let profit or not didn't matter. She picked up the intelligent speaker on the table: "Alright, you get busy, I'll take this to play, see if there are any bugs, so you can change it."

Watching her leave, Wang Yan shook his head with a smile. From Wei Lan's liking, it could be seen that this thing wouldn't be bad.

In fact, she still underestimated Wei Lan's liking. After returning home, she put the intelligent speaker on the coffee table, sat there and talked to it, back and forth, very interesting. The cat and dog were very curious, but because of Wang Yan's prestige, they didn't dare to approach Wei Lan, hiding together and looking at the little thing that was suspended, moving, and talking.

That speaker actually emitted a red light beam by itself, teasing the cat. The cat was teased for a while, and finally couldn't stand it, jumped onto the coffee table, looked at Wei Lan, and then looked at Wang Yan who was far away in the kitchen cooking, and slapped the intelligent speaker off the base with a paw, rolling it to the floor, and then curiously used its paw to pull it back and forth.

The speaker even learned Song Xiaobao's appearance and said "Are you locking my throat," and "Playing and getting angry, not talking about martial arts," and also projected pictures to scare the cat, and finally asked Wei Lan for help.

It made Wei Lan laugh out loud, playing very happily...

This was, of course, out of curiosity, just for freshness. People's freshness has a time limit, and it won't be interesting after a few days. Mainly, their house was not renovated by themselves, and there was no whole-house intelligence, only a sweeping robot that could let the intelligent speaker control it. After this period of time, it became daily, and then it was meaningless.

Four days later, on the Douyin platform, a pet blogger named "What Cat and Dog" updated a new video after more than a week, in the expectation of fans.

It happened to be Friday night. Jiang Ming, who had been working for a day, returned home and ate the noodles with gravy made by his wife who returned a step earlier. Although her cooking skills were not very superb, it was not bad that his wife could cook, and it was not bad that he had something to eat when he returned. Living a life.

They lived in a second-tier city and had just been married for not long, which was the loving time of a newlywed. Both of them had jobs, saved a little money, and could live quite well after paying the mortgage. Of course, it was not very good. After all, they were both young people, tired and exhausted after working for a day, and didn't want to move when they returned home, let alone cook. Who wanted to be smoked by smoke at home? Wasn't it for life?

The two sat opposite each other at the dining table. Jiang Ming ate the noodles in large mouthfuls, and his wife was pulling her phone on the opposite side to watch short videos. While watching, sometimes she couldn't help but laugh.

He said: "Eat after watching, or you will choke yourself. Eat noodles, you have to eat in large mouthfuls. It's winter now, and you don't need to lose weight. Eat quickly, eat quickly, watch after eating, the phone won't run away."

The tone was exactly the same as his mother coaxing him when he was a child, not letting him watch TV or play on the computer. Who wasn't a child?

His wife was not very pretty, just ordinary appearance, not hard to look at, a bit chubby, with baby fat on her face, a small round face, looking very festive, which looked very durable.

She curled her lips, habitually pulled it again, and turned to the next video. She looked at the little heart she liked, which was only two thousand, and clicked one: "Cat and Dog updated, wait for me to finish watching this... ah, it's an advertisement..."

Although she said so, she still continued to watch patiently. This blogger wouldn't easily send advertisements, but what she sent were quite interesting things. For example, what to eat today, she was choosing difficulty, and she had been using it when eating lunch at the company, and until now, the recommended things were more and more to her appetite. There was also another advertisement, "Easy Translation." Although her major and work basically didn't involve other countries' languages, she felt it was quite interesting when she played with it at the beginning, so it was still kept on her phone until now. She would translate it when she didn't know it in daily life, although it was not used much.

And the most critical thing was that people's advertisements were also very interesting and distinctive, making it difficult for people to feel disgusted. This was the third time a separate advertisement had been issued so far, so of course she had to take a look.

This video was very long, a full five minutes. After thinking about it, she put her phone in the middle of the dining table: "What to eat today, and that Easy Translation, didn't you feel it was not bad? It's advertising again today, quite long, let's watch it together."

Jiang Ming nodded and agreed. Just watch it, it wouldn't lose a piece of meat. Immediately, the two tilted their necks and stared at the phone.

"Looking at the cover and beginning of the video, everyone should understand. That's right, today, it's an advertisement again. Recommend an intelligent speaker that is very fun, very cool, and very easy to use. Protagonist."

With a playful female voice, the picture changed with a meow of the cat, and an unboxing video appeared. Following the introduction of the sound, the packaging was unpacked, and the base, host, manual, and various vouchers inside were taken out, and the product finally appeared in front of the audience. After another round of fast-cutting changes of the intelligent speaker from various angles, the product began to be introduced in detail.

Then the two were stunned, watching the fat thing suspended, watching this thing actually teasing the cat with lasers, watching this thing controlling the sweeping robot to be a mount for the cat, watching this thing twitching by itself, watching the projected video, watching the projection light like a nightclub, watching the 360-degree rotation, 90-degree elevation angle, watching the fluent conversation almost like a real person...

"Alright, the above is all of this 'Smart Sound' intelligent speaker. Because the company is newly founded, it is unable to prepare goods, and even more unable to experience, so it can only accept online reservations, and will be sent to the logistics company as soon as it comes off the production line, with free shipping to home. The reservation address is the same as before, still logging into our official website, and there will be a mall jump button. Those who like it, hurry up and order... Meow, Woof..."

With the end of the main feature, after the cat and dog finished calling, a close-up of the intelligent speaker appeared. It tilted its head, revealing a happy look, and an electronic synthesized voice sounded: "Hurry up and take me home..."

After watching, the couple turned their heads and looked at the "Little Love Classmate" in the living room, and then looked at each other.

His wife said: "Buy one? 999 is a bit expensive, but it is acceptable. People are really intelligent. Our family is doing whole-house intelligence, which just happens to be used."

People live in modern times with developed technology, enjoying the convenience brought by technology, but there are very few opportunities to feel the advancement of technology in life. When there was a big brother, the first time taking a plane, when hitting a 4S, etc., but in recent years, this may be the first time to feel the charm of technology at such a close distance.

Jiang Ming was more rational. He said: "Watch it again, I will look at the introduction on their official website."

Saying so, Jiang Ming picked up his phone, opened the browser, searched for the official website of Lin'an Long Teng, clicked in, pulled it twice, found the mall button, jumped over, and opened a new page.

This page was very clean, with only two product icons. The one in front was "Smart Sound."

This name was thought of by Wei Lan, and there were others like "Smart Home," "Smart Enjoy," "Smart Life," etc., all of which had been registered. It was a big problem to have a name that was still passable...

What surprised him was that the second product was actually health supplements, and it was marked with a price...

"Why do I feel so unreliable." Jiang Ming raised his head and looked at his wife.

"What's wrong?"

"Look, this is still selling health supplements, and this, isn't this crazy about money?"

"Oh, good guy, there are quite a lot of effects." His wife frowned, took the phone and looked at the details, shook her head and smiled, then exited and clicked on "Smart Sound." After loading, what came into view was a reservation data, which had already been reserved by more than four hundred people, and the number was jumping by one or two.

She said: "Don't worry about the health supplements, we don't buy them anyway. Look, more than four hundred people have reserved, let's also order one. Anyway, there is a seven-day no-reason return. If we are cheated, we can afford one thousand yuan. We will directly complain about this blogger and that company, and see if they are unlucky."

Jiang Ming took back the phone, clicked in and looked at the long functional introduction, as well as the after-sales guarantee service, and nodded: "More than five hundred people in such a short time, I don't know if it is real data, or if they are all the same as us. Forget it, buy one and see."

While speaking, he clicked reservation, then logged in with SMS, filled in the shipping address, and paid the full price of the goods via WeChat. Not long after, a text message came, which was the order number, as well as a website link. After jumping, it was a detailed and simple return and exchange process, and asked him to be patient and wished him a happy life.

"I don't know if it's true." He muttered. One thousand yuan is not much, but it is not small. It is always annoying to be cheated.

It's just that he also watched the cat and dog videos. After watching for so long, he still had some trust. Plus the one shown in the video, it was indeed much better than the mentally retarded one in their home, which indeed attracted him. So he paid the money, holding the idea of trying it out.

Experiencing fresh things for the first time is always a very expectant thing.

And at the same time, similar scenes happened in thousands of households, which is the power of the internet. Wei Lan didn't buy fans. Except for some relatives and friends, even if there were some zombie fans, the remaining many were more than one million people, which indeed had a certain influence.

"Over a thousand, over a thousand, husband, over a thousand..."

On the sofa in the living room, Wei Lan held a tablet in one hand and a phone in the other, looking at the data refreshing in real time on the webpage, shouting at Wang Yan in the study. From her tone, it was not difficult to hear her happiness and excitement.

Wang Yan came out of the study with a water cup and connected water at the water dispenser: "Easy Translation has nearly two hundred thousand users, and now it's only so much, no need to be so excited."

"Can that be the same? Easy Translation doesn't cost money, but this is a real one thousand yuan. One thousand reservations is one million in sales. I have only been posting videos for three hours, and the advertisement we posted before seems to have broken the circle, and the playback volume has risen particularly fast. Maybe it will be on the hot list tomorrow. If you look at it this way, the number of people who reserve tomorrow will have to be ten thousand or eight thousand, which is tens of millions in sales. I have finally realized how much money those big factories earn."

Wei Lan talked to herself, and seeing Wang Yan take her water cup to connect water again, she said: "It's just that I think you want to sell the intelligent speaker and the 'Great Strength Pill' together to hit the reputation of the 'Great Strength Pill,' which might be wrong. Now there are many messages saying we are liars, and there are also scolding us for cheating old people's money and losing conscience."

Wang Yan shook his head: "It's okay, if you look at it and feel upset, then don't look at it, don't affect your mood."

"That's not it. After all, our family's things are indeed easy to use. It's just that the audience of the intelligent speaker and the 'Great Strength Pill' may be different, and it's so expensive, it can't be sold at all."

"The intelligent speaker can ship one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. Among these people, there must be rich people. After they experience the intelligent speaker, maybe they have curiosity, and then buy a bottle to taste the taste by the way. Who can say for sure? Let's see. Anyway, we have no other losses except for being scolded. Just when I was inside, Zhou Zong sent me a message saying that the three thousand units prepared before are being packaged and handed over to SF Express. The freight has been negotiated before, all of which are express. It is estimated that from tomorrow afternoon, there will be feedback one after another, and then we can wait to count the money."

It wasn't that he didn't want to prepare more goods, but he didn't have that strength. The production equipment will arrive soon, and he needs to reserve a sum of money to pay salaries, as well as the money to maintain the company's daily operations. No matter how well the "Great Strength Pill" sells, it counts only when he rolls it out, but manpower is sometimes exhausted.

Now there are two thousand units, which is that Zhou Zong has confidence in the product and paid for production himself. But more is impossible. This is already more than one million goods, and Zhou Zong can't take out so much money.

But now it's okay, because one thousand units were sold, one million was entered, then one million parts were entered, which is more than three thousand units. In the future, more and more will be produced, and finally, the production capacity of Zhou Zong's factory will be exploded.

"Build a school, must build a school, otherwise this money comes too easily, and I can't sleep peacefully. Besides, if we really earn one or two hundred million, how much tax do we have to pay? It's better to be less." Wei Lan let out a long breath: "I have to see where the school conditions for children are not good, let's contact first, and if possible, we have to go to see it on the spot."

"This matter is left to you. After a while, you can set up a charity fund. This matter is left to you. You look at the operation."

"Good." Wei Lan responded, full of fighting spirit, got up, and entered the study.

"Do it again during the day tomorrow?"

"I'll take a look first..."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, and followed into the study with the water cup...

The development of things was as expected, and even exceeded Wang Yan's expectations. The next morning, Wei Lan woke up naturally and saw the advertisement posted yesterday on the hot list. Not only that, but there was also a label for "Smart Sound."

This is of course very normal, because if it is really as said in the advertisement, then this is a big step for artificial intelligence, although "Easy Translation" has already caused waves to a certain extent before, but in fact, the audience of this kind of tool software is small, and it has influence, which is also the industry insider of the technology circle. Unlike this kind of intelligent speaker that can walk into thousands of households, the scope of influence is wide.

Can be a surveillance camera, can be an intelligent terminal for home, this is the most basic ability. Can be a projector, can be suspended charging, this is stacking materials, which can be understood. But can have child protection reminders, this already has a large group of first-time parents customers. Children can also be elderly, which is also a point of concern for children. People can be identified, so fire and such can of course be discovered, and there is safety prevention. Most importantly, its intelligent level is too high. And very cool, very cute...

So the controversy is getting bigger and bigger, and it is normal to be on the hot list.

And while the idle netizens were arguing and scolding Wei Lan, in the morning, a local customer in Lin'an received the goods. Very coincidentally, he was an electronic product experience blogger, and there were hundreds of thousands of fans. It was not so coincidental, just because he was doing this, he accidentally brushed the advertisement, so he was interested, and it was normal to spend one thousand yuan to take a look.

At the first time of receiving the goods, he filmed the unboxing and usage video. For the sake of heat, he just cut it simply, and then sent out three videos, giving a very high evaluation, and even saying it was sold cheaply.

No accident, he became the first to eat the dividend. After the video was released, it attracted many netizens who were concerned about this matter in a short time. No accident, he was said to be a "trust."

But this didn't last long. As time passed, some reserved customers received the goods one after another, and they also released unboxing videos on short video platforms or other platforms to share their usage experience.

One or two are trusts, but in two days, so many people who received the goods released videos, so it is hard to say whether it is still a trust. There is suspicion, but it is also half-believing.

By the time of the new week, after just two days, the number of reservations on the product page had exceeded fifty thousand, which was the number after removing the orders that had been confirmed to receive the goods. Wang Yan disdained to fake, all of which were real, the same as the background. And with the subsequent fermentation, this number will definitely be more and more.

"Thank you President Liu for your kindness, but we really don't lack money, sorry."

"Good, goodbye."

Wang Yan hung up the phone and looked at Wei Lan and Zhao Changchun beside him with a bitter smile: "Look, they all smelled the taste, and they are all acquiring or buying shares. There has been no peace since this morning."

Wei Lan didn't answer. She just stared at the jumping number on the mall page on her phone, already numb. Fifty thousand units, the sales volume is fifty million, the gross profit is thirty million, this is only two days, this is really too fast, this is more profitable than selling "Great Strength Pills."

Zhao Changchun chimed in from the side: "President Wang is a natural-born genius. Being able to make such a good product, this time you will definitely make a huge profit. We have so much money ourselves now, where would we need capital investment? I really don't understand what those big institutions are thinking. They know we aren't short on money, yet they call us incessantly."

Of course, it is because there is more money, which can develop faster, buy buildings if there are no buildings, dig people if there are no people, buy factories if there are no factories, buy technology if there are no technology, the company will expand rapidly, which is actually a kind of leverage... Especially in such a period, the international situation is not good, the domestic economic development is weak, various industries have exploded one after another, and such a company that masters cutting-edge technology has appeared, people who have more money than they can spend, and people who see wealth depreciate every day, of course, want to share a cup. And those who are complementary in the industry need technology. Opponent companies don't want to raise tigers. There are many things to say, but in fact, there are only those few.

Wang Yan shook his head, turned off the phone directly, and then stepped forward to guide the workers to install the equipment.

Yes, the customized production equipment he waited for for nearly a month arrived, and he could finally start mass production.

Busy, after the installation was completed. Wang Yan took his computer, connected to the equipment, and started writing the program he had prepared for controlling the proportion of various medicinal materials into the interior.

After finishing these, after the lunch break, Wang Yan got a batch of medicinal materials, told the workers how to operate, and started trial production. Because it is necessary to boil medicine, it must be boiled several times, and then compressed, which is very time-consuming. So this day, the whole factory worked overtime, waited for orders at the work post, and familiarized themselves with their respective work.

【Stable operation for many years of novel app, the source-changing App that all old versions of insect-chasing are using, huanyuanapp.】

A trial production got more than one hundred thousand medicinal materials, tossed for several hours, and finally came out of the oven at seven o'clock in the evening.

Wang Yan held the transparent small glass that was still a bit warm, looked at the label on the bottle, looked at the sealed bottle mouth, and then unscrewed the bottle cap, broke it open one by one, put it in his mouth and tasted it. Not long after, thirty pills were eaten by him alone.

After taking the water handed by Wei Lan and taking a big sip, he nodded and looked at Zhao Changchun and the other team leaders: "No problem, find someone to come over tomorrow to handle the workshop environment again, and after confirming that it meets the production standards, start production the day after tomorrow. At that time, I will come over. For these produced this time, find a box to pack it for me, put it in my car, that's it for today, everyone get off work. Let's go, wife."

"Oh, good." Wei Lan responded and followed behind Wang Yan to leave.

After the workers packed the medicine into the trunk, Wang Yan drove Wei Lan out of the factory, turned onto the main road and went home.

Wei Lan asked: "How to deal with the medicine in the trunk?"

"Of course, it is for our parents to eat."

"Won't there be a problem?"

"Be sober, okay?" Wang Yan shook his head with amusement: "This hygiene condition is much better than the hand-rolling in the rental house before. You, and our parents have eaten for almost a year, aren't they fine? And there are so many customers, one batch is grabbed after another, what problem has come out? What are you thinking? It seems that it is really reasonable that one pregnancy makes you stupid for three years."

Wei Lan also reacted, hummed, didn't pay attention to Wang Yan, and continued to look at the phone.

Wang Yan asked: "How many reserved?"

"More than eighty thousand." Wei Lan let out a long breath and sighed: "Our gross profit is more than forty million, only three days, this is really too fast, this is more profitable than selling 'Great Strength Pills.' You don't know, my fans have increased by more than two hundred thousand in these two days, and now there are more than two million."

"Relatively speaking, the price is still a bit expensive, so don't have such high expectations. No expectations, no disappointment, so as not to be unhappy when the time comes."

"Forget it, I won't be unhappy even if I die. I'm going to wake up laughing in my dreams now, it's really too fast to make money."

"It's faster to spend." Wang Yan smiled: "We are doing technology, technology is the foundation. Now it is the output of me alone, so you look at it and feel that it is particularly profitable. Next, we are going to start forming our own R&D team, doing scientific research ourselves, which is a bottomless pit. It is possible that there will be no results for a long time, and every day when you open your eyes, you are losing money. At that time, you won't be able to laugh."

"It's okay, anyway, it's enough for us to spend now, and it's enough for our children in the future. What is this? As long as there is enough money to live, that is losing, lose hard."

"Hey, this thinking has improved."

Chatting and laughing, they returned home all the way.

After washing up, Wang Yan didn't go to the study to fiddle, but sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV.

"Watching TV again?" Wei Lan came over with her hair just blown dry, and sat down beside Wang Yan: "What are you watching? 'Zheng Yang Men Xia'? I remember this TV series was played in 2013, right?"

"Hmm, 2013, nothing to do, take a look. I haven't been free lately, relax."

Of course, it wasn't what he said, but the news of the "Living Father" arrived on time.

"'Zheng Yang Men Xia' Han Chunming: Another Life."

Wang Yan had watched this show before, but for him, the time was really too long, he only had some impressions, and had forgotten what it was about, so he watched it honestly.

Watching TV with Wei Lan, until Wei Lan felt sleepy and went back to the room to sleep, he turned off the TV, went to the study and changed to the computer to watch. He watched for a day at work the next day, and watched for half the night after returning home, and finally finished all thirty-six episodes.

This TV series is mainly about...

Han Chunming is the protagonist in the play. After watching it once, Wang Yan also had some understanding of such a task.

Throughout the thirty-three years, Han Chunming pulled with the heroine Su Meng for thirty-three years, which is really too funny. Throwing aside whether it is reasonable or not, pulling for more than thirty years, no one can stand it. Maybe Su Meng became Han Chunming's obsession, and he wouldn't stop until he achieved a positive result.

This task of another life, Wang Yan thought, was that Han Chunming finally woke up and didn't want to pull with Su Meng anymore. It is understandable to think about it, no one can have no complaints...

Wang Yan got up and stretched, left the study, gently pushed open the bedroom door, took a look at the sleeping Wei Lan, then gently closed the door, drank some water, and returned to the study.

Looking at the night owl who didn't remember to eat but remembered to fight, who was still staring at him stupidly at the door, he shook his head and smiled, called out the panel, and operated to choose... ===== CHAPTER 555 =====
