Chapter 745: Daily Life

At the Linping Long Teng Health Factory, workers were working skillfully, going through one process after another, and finally becoming bottles of pills.

Wang Yan stood outside the glass with his hands behind his back, watching them work silently.

The heat of the previous international dispute had been suppressed, but the subsequent impact had not dissipated. Because this had entered the field of vision of people who were concerned with the huge heat.

Domestic users had reached tens of thousands. With this number, the power of word-of-mouth was very strong. It could be said that with the existence of these people, as long as they recommended it in various aspects, basically the few million people in China with purchasing power would all be taken care of.

Those with spare capacity, that is, a family of several people, each eating every month. Those with poorer spare capacity, such as those with an annual income of more than 200,000, would buy a bottle every two or three months, exclusively for the next generation of the family.

To put it bluntly, at this price, in the end, it was still that batch of middle class that was harvested. After all, their number was larger, and the money they earned was neither high nor low. Really rich people, don't mention it, that is, hundreds of thousands a bottle, they also chew the whole family as sugar beans, and the sickle really couldn't swing to their heads. After all, they didn't need to engage in any asset allocation. Just the interest of the money deposited in the bank as a fixed deposit and depreciating was a number that ordinary people couldn't look forward to.

However, their purchasing power was indeed strong. It was certain that the whole family bought it, and there would be three, four, five, six, seven, and children with legal inheritance rights...

Of course, saying "harvest" was just a description. After all, the strong body pill was really effective, and it was just earning a net profit of two times. His pricing was also reasonable according to the per capita income in China, which had been verified countless times.

The strong body pill could clearly feel the changes in the body, and the body function had significant improvement, which took three to six months. But in the actual experience of users, they could feel the improvement of the body in one month. Sub-health and geriatric diseases were the mainstream of today's society. People who work out all day and have a body of tendon meat are also weak, and they can notice it with a little improvement.

The more than 10,000 people who ordered last month also felt what was called curative effect this month, and naturally they would repurchase. When communicating with people, it was inevitable to talk about body topics, and naturally they would talk about the strong body pill. Those who bought it all praised the good curative effect, and scolded it for being expensive. Most of those who didn't buy it would hold a try-and-see attitude and buy a bottle to see what was going on.

Similarly, the number of overseas orders was also increasing. Orders from Europe, America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, etc., had all increased, especially the big households in the Middle East. Zhao Fu told Wang Yan that people there asked the ambassador to confirm the authenticity. The ambassador of course would not give a definitive answer, after all, the domestic side was still repeatedly verifying it, just roughly said the order volume and the user feedback collected. Later, the Middle East side went through diplomatic channels and contacted Wang Yan, first buying one million US dollars to taste the taste.

At the same time, the customs side also had feedback. In the past month, the strong body pill suddenly appeared, and the quantity increased day by day. There was no doubt that these were players who brought goods by human flesh. Even if the air ticket money for round trips was counted, and the customs clearance fees of the US customs were counted, the calculation was still much cheaper than 6,000 US dollars a bottle.

This was just the beginning, the business was not yet familiar, relying on human flesh to transport goods back and forth. Its complete body was a mature industrial chain. Some people found ID cards in China to buy monthly, some people gathered goods at some ports and borders to transport them out of the country, and some people were responsible for receiving scattered goods in other countries. Division of labor and cooperation, multi-stage coordination, the price of a bottle of strong body pill also rose continuously, and finally sent to the foreign devils.

For various reasons, this business line was touched bit by bit by the domestic police department. Finally, when it accumulated to a certain quantity and a certain amount, it was directly harvested by the iron fist, and so on. The domestic common people benefited, the bad people who had the courage to take risks were dealt with, the foreign devils' money was earned, the police expenses were supplemented, and it was truly a happy ending for everyone.

For various reasons, the order volume from the beginning of this month to now had reached more than 40,000 orders, and this was only half a month. This was the real snowballing. Before, not many bottles could be sold in a month, but now it had started to grow exponentially. More than 40,000 orders, both domestic and foreign, after removing various accounts payable, the balance of gross profit was nearly 400 million.

And even if the thirteen sturdy flat-headed boys who rotated in the security department were counted, the total number of registered staff of Long Teng Health was less than one hundred...

Wang Yan strolled around the field, watching the small paper boxes that were packaged and sent to the trucks with the Shunfeng logo in front of the warehouse. He sent express delivery here, and the freight was borne by the customers themselves. It was just that they took the monthly settlement channel of public-to-public, and the freight was much lower.

Zhao Changchun, who was glowing, strolled with Wang Yan, talking about the situation in the past month. The big boss was too busy, basically only twice a month, so he took the opportunity to chat more. He was the factory director of a factory with a gross profit of 400 million in half a month. He still felt like he was dreaming now, although it had nothing to do with him, it didn't prevent him from feeling proud.

After listening to Old Zhao's rambling, Wang Yan nodded, stood in the open space in the field, and said: "The fully automatic production line has been negotiated, and two have been set. It is expected to be delivered in two and a half months. The production capacity of a single production line is about three times higher than the current production capacity, and it is more efficient and safe. In these two months, you have to build another factory building in this open space to accommodate the new production line."

"Yes, Wang Zong. In terms of personnel..."

"No need, these people are enough now. The new production line only needs eight people, and two lines are only sixteen people. When the time comes, the extra people will still check the quality of the medicinal materials, pack and ship."

Wang Yan shook his head and continued: "Old Zhao, do you know the situation of the factories next door and in front and behind?"

"I know a little bit. Two are making clothes, one is making bearings, and one is the same as us, making health products." Zhao Changchun finished speaking, feeling a bit inappropriate, and then added rigorously, "It is the same as before, they are all barely supporting. But one thing better than us before is that they still have some customers, which is the group of people who cheat the money of the elderly. My previous boss still had some conscience and didn't do this work."

Wang Yan looked at Old Zhao a bit strangely. You are already selling health products, and you tell me you have a conscience?

Zhao Changchun smiled awkwardly. He of course understood the big boss's eyes, but he felt that they really had more conscience than others. However, he didn't explain, and smiled awkwardly without saying a word.

Wang Yan of course wouldn't dwell on this, and then asked: "Which one is going to go bankrupt?"

"They are all quite difficult. Although they are factories, they are still small workshop business models. Health products and clothing are all rotten street businesses, killing each other in a river of blood. Although small factories also have business, they can't sell at a price, and they all earn hard money. Are you going to take over another factory?"

"There is so much money lying in the account, it must be spent. Our medicine is still too expensive, and the number of people who can afford it is a minority. I plan to organize manpower to develop patent medicine, which is a capsule similar to fish oil. The team has been gathered. So now we need to find a place to establish a laboratory and let them start research. You ask the factories nearby one by one, contact the landlord, and see who moves, and vacate the place for us.

If it doesn't work, you can also acquire a clothing factory. You have also read the information on the intranet. We are donating in a poor county in Guizhou Province, two sets of clothes every year. In addition, we can also make some work clothes for our employees. It doesn't matter if they wear them or not, it is considered a benefit. Especially in winter, we produce our own standard cotton-padded jackets, which are both practical and can increase collective honor. It will be barely self-sufficient on weekdays, and it is estimated that there is no problem."

Zhao Changchun asked tentatively: "Then we will directly acquire one, and then relocate? Or we will directly find another big place, and the two new production lines will fall there? When the time comes, we will move directly?"

"It can't be moved here. The workers are all familiar with it. There is no need. On the other hand, we don't need such a large venue. Under full load, we can have four production lines. And the annual output of these four lines is already over 100 billion. So there is no need to toss. It is very good now. The reason why we want to acquire the factory next door is to centralize safety management, and we will increase the manpower of the security department when the time comes. This laboratory is just a transition, and it will become a pharmaceutical company later."

"Yes, I know, Wang Zong. Personnel after acquisition?"

"Find Wei Lan, see her arrangement."

Wang Yan waved his hand: "Alright, that's all I'll say. If there is a problem, find me again. Go."

Watching Wang Yan drive away in the black small BMW 5 Series, Zhao Changchun let out a sigh. Although the boss was amiable and much younger than him, he still felt very nervous, and he was relieved only when the person left.

He lit a red Liqun and also left the factory, walking towards the clothing factory next door, firmly implementing the task assigned by the boss...

Wang Yan returned to the company. Just as he arrived at the office, several employees under him came up.

The office area here is not small. There is a sofa and coffee table for guests by the window. Let them sit down, and Wang Yan asked: "What's the matter?"

Several people looked at each other, and Zhang Xu, an old employee, spoke first: "Wang Zong, the new version of Easy Translation has been completed. The main thing is to add the mobile-side synchronous voice recognition function. In other aspects, some modifications and additions have been made. In addition, it has been well adapted to Smart Sound. We have basically mastered all dialects in the Chinese region, communication is basically barrier-free, the probability of error recognition is only one in ten thousand, and with the increase of data, the error rate will further decrease."

Zhang Xu developed Easy Translation from beginning to end and is now the person in charge of Easy Translation. There are eight people in the project team now, all experienced programmers, and the output is very high. Easy Translation is the department where artificial intelligence language processing falls, and it will be supplemented later.

As for mastering all dialects in the Chinese region, this is the various data collected when calling before. Of course, that amount of data is definitely not enough, and later people were found to do part-time jobs, specifically recording into the language library.

In fact, Wang Yan also has this library, and he even has the world language library, but he can't take it out.

So in fact, the current Smart Sound's recognition of dialects is not so outstanding, but it is definitely stronger than others. Now with more comprehensive language processing functions, Smart Sound is really smart.

Wang Yan nodded and looked at the second person. This is the newly recruited manager of Smart Sound, Du Xinye. A gentle middle-aged man with glasses and loose casual clothes, with an annual salary of 500,000.

Du Xinye pushed his glasses: "Wang Zong, the second generation of Smart Sound has been developed. This is the sample produced by our foundry. Please take a look."

While speaking, he picked up the box beside him and placed it on the coffee table, pushing it in front of Wang Yan.

Different from the shoddy production of the first generation, the packaging box of this second generation looks much more advanced. There is a cartoon version of the physical concept map on it, and the rest is plain white.

On the top, there is a circle of paper tear strips. The hand feel is relatively smooth when turning and tearing, and there is no breakage in the middle. The upper part of the packaging box became a small lid and was torn off.

With the departure of the lid, the four sides of the packaging box scattered in a flowery way, with three certificates and instructions for use stuck on it, and the second-generation Smart Sound in the middle revealed its true face.

At this time, Du Xinye also introduced it.

Smart Sound second generation, the overall shape is still the tumbler shape, infinite floating charging, chest projection, dual-eye high-definition camera. Different from the first generation, this time the materials are better, more exquisite, and the eyes have added screens, with cartoon expression eyes. At the same time, it is equipped with radar, which can scan the indoor environment within the field of vision and determine the distance. In this way, it can further improve the safety protection function, that is, precise positioning when discovering danger, and timely action feedback.

A bigger difference is that this time Smart Sound has added arms. The function of the arms is nothing, that is, it can make body language. Of course, this is in the eyes of people who don't know the truth. It seems that there is no problem, but if you understand a little, you will understand that the bionic robot technology they have mastered is displayed vividly on these two arms.

Of course, in order to avoid being shocking, the arms are only preliminary applications, and they cannot really be as flexible as humans, talking and gesturing. And it is only two sections of arms, without five-finger-spread fingers, which is an exponential difficulty. More and better talents need to be recruited to conduct a period of "research" before there can be improvement.

In addition, as the function of the speaker itself, it has also been strengthened, replacing better domestic speakers, and the sound quality has been significantly improved...

Cooperating with Wang Yan's playing and operation, Du Xinye talked for a while, and seeing the boss stop his movements, he made a closing: "Smart Sound second generation only has this one model, and no longer sells models without projection functions. According to our current sales volume of 630,000 units of Smart Sound first generation, the cost of Smart Sound second generation can be suppressed to 750, and our planned selling price is 1999."

Wang Yan pulled the arms of Smart Sound, let it spin on the charger, thought for a while and said: "Obviously, your estimation has some problems. We can sell more than 600,000 units at 999, but it is not necessarily at 1999. This is not a necessity after all.

It has only been more than three months, don't worry about the release. You improve the flexibility of this arm. Also develop the function of using Smart Sound's projection and camera for video calls. There is also the child certification for Smart Sound's supporting software, remote viewing of monitoring screens, and crisis forced push functions.

In a while, you will access Easy Translation's language processing. After debugging, push the upgrade in these two days, and find someone to hype the dialect recognition."

Smart Sound has long arms now, and it will have hands later, and legs later. This is manufactured according to robots, and it will definitely be more and more complex in the future, and the intelligence level will be higher and higher.

As for the hype, the popularity of Smart Sound is still poor, and it needs to be higher. Especially many elderly people can't play with smart phones, and other smart speakers have poor dialect processing capabilities. Otherwise, there wouldn't be videos of elderly people fighting with artificial intelligence on the internet, and people wouldn't treat it as a joke. Hype it up again, and the first generation of Smart Sound can still sell a lot. This wave is not for any fresh high-tech, but entirely for parents.

"Yes, Wang Zong." Du Xinye understood Wang Yan's meaning, which was to prepare for those left-behind parents whose children were away. There were many such families. Regardless of the countryside or the city, there were many only children. And this batch of only children are basically the main force of families in their thirties now, mostly struggling for a living outside, which is a very large market.

Without waiting for Wang Yan to ask, Yao Huan, the manager of the smart home project who also came for a few months, with a slightly fat round face and kind appearance, took the initiative to explain the reason.

"Wang Zong, after two months of research and development, we have completed the sweeping robot and smart lock. According to your requirements, the sweeping robot can carry Smart Sound to move in the room, can be moved by Smart Sound's control, and the cleaning ability is the same as that of friends, which can reach the level of the first echelon. Automatic cleaning, changing water, etc., are all standard, and there is a certain ability to cross obstacles. If there is a small obstacle, it can go up. Smart lock cooperates with Smart Sound, which can achieve face and voiceprint recognition, open the door in two seconds when seeing a person, and all functions such as stranger alarm are available. Strangers remind, will automatically distinguish neighbors, and only people other than that will remind, which is directly popped up through Smart Sound's software. If there is someone in the house, Smart Sound will judge the reminder method according to the day and night and user habits."

"Let's see it now, let's all go." Wang Yan stood up with a chuckle, took the lead out of the office, and went to the project team of smart home.

"How is the talk with other smart home manufacturers?"

"It's not bad. Our smart speaker sales are there, but it's just a matter of writing a section of program. Many companies are willing to cooperate. Products sold through our smart solutions give us a three-point rebate."

"It's not bad, it's up to you." Wang Yan patted Yao Huan's arm casually.

These people used to be small heads promoted by technology, with high salaries. He unified the salary of 500,000 to let them be responsible for a stall. Future prospects and money prospects depend on their own level. If they can develop the business, they will increase salary and treatment. If not, they will be downgraded and reduced in salary, and then find someone else to continue to do it.

That is to say, in this starting stage, he will recruit people from outside to be leaders, otherwise they are all promoted from within the company. There are many capable people, and still the same sentence, Liu Bang's team is in Peixian, Zhu Yuanzhang's team is in Fengyang, it is not that people have no ability, but that there is no platform. It just so happens that he is a boss willing to provide a platform for people.

And this is the real world, he will not really be a hands-off boss, and there is Wei Lan who is happy to be a leader, no need for anyone to build a company for him, and manage daily affairs.

Soon, the group arrived at the project team of smart home. There are twelve people here, their work is quite miscellaneous, involving many things, and they are still recruiting people.

The office environment is also very miscellaneous. In addition to regular computers, there are various tools, parts, etc., which are very messy.

Everyone warmly welcomed the big boss to inspect the work and showed the sweeping robot and door lock with naked structure without a lid to Wang Yan.

The sweeping robot is not outstanding, just as Yao Huan said, sweeping is the same as friends, most things can be cleaned, and the large surface is kept clean. Automatic cleaning, changing water, etc., are all standard, and there is a certain ability to cross obstacles. If there is a small obstacle, it can go up. The main outstanding point is that it can be a mount for Smart Sound, but it needs to be placed manually. Smart Sound has the highest authority. Seeing stains in the field of vision, or receiving user commands, it can dispatch the sweeping robot to clean. At the same time, the equipped camera and laser radar can model the house, more accurately assisting Smart Sound's positioning. In addition, it can also be used as a mobile monitor. After all, Smart Sound cannot move without riding a sweeping robot. With a sweeping robot, it can expand Smart Sound's field of vision, realize whole-house monitoring, and warn at any time.

The smart lock is quite ordinary, that is, a normal C-level anti-theft lock, which is difficult to open, and there is nothing special. The main thing is the fluency of identification and unlocking. Basically, it can open when seeing a person. Photos don't work. In the case of strangers, it needs to cooperate with instructions to open the door. In the case of multiple people mixed with strangers, it will automatically open without instructions. Stranger reminder will automatically distinguish neighbors, and people other than that will remind, which is directly popped up through Smart Sound's software. If there is someone in the house, Smart Sound will judge the reminder method according to the day and night and user habits.

Overall, compared with the products on the market now, the supporting functions can be called super powerful. And there are smart solutions, cooperating with various home products of other manufacturers, which is a beating for the current smart products, and there is no opponent.

No opponent means high selling price. The sweeping robot sells for 6999, and the door lock sells for 4999.

Their positioning is like this, trying to do high-end products, not grabbing food with the vast number of low-end product manufacturers. Although those low-end manufacturers are not very conscientious. But that is an industrial chain, behind which are countless workers and their families. His technology, if it smashes the pot, no one can eat. This is a major event affecting stability and cannot be messed up.

Of course, there are many who sell more expensive than him, then he doesn't care. Because there are always people who buy expensive ones, and it will lose status if it is cheap.

As for the privacy issue, it is a matter of opinion. Those who recruit people to their homes definitely don't buy it. Others, such as changing clothes, wearing less at home, etc., have solutions.

First of all, Wang Yan's subordinates have no authority to view user video data, and secondly, the technology itself is very high. Unless Wang Yan is really idle and egg-painful to watch it himself, it cannot be broken from the outside. This is a set of confidentiality systems used by his company's various projects. If there is no such confidence, how can he allow employees to work at home.

And from another perspective, ordinary people really have no privacy...

After testing, Wang Yan nodded: "Not bad, improve it, and list it with Smart Sound second generation in a few months. When the time comes, we will hold a press conference. You can prepare in advance. Recently, develop monitoring to cooperate with Smart Sound to do multi-space monitoring. This is not difficult. After finishing, develop other products, switches, light bulbs, audio-visual systems

"Leader, when will the press conference be held?" An employee asked boldly.

Seeing Wang Yan's gaze look over, Du Xinye understood what it meant. The first generation of smart sound needs to ferment, the second generation of smart sound needs to continue to be perfected, and it also needs to be debugged with smart home, so he thought about it and said: "We should have two months."

"That is to hold a press conference in May, get more products out, otherwise it will be shameful if there is nothing to say at that time. Also, our smart home plan must also be done well and shown to people. Manager Du, the smart sound you are responsible for is the core, and you must cooperate well with them."

Du Xinye nodded repeatedly: "Wang Zong, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate sincerely and not live up to your expectations."

Wang Yan waved his hand with a smile: "It's not living up to my expectations, it's not living up to yourselves. I definitely earn more, but what you get is not less, definitely much more than before. Our company doesn't have the saying of stock allocation, so we can only make up for it in salary and treatment. How to improve this salary and treatment depends on yourselves. Alright, everyone be busy, report at any time if there is anything."

"Wang Zong, walk slowly..."

"Leader, come and play often..."
