Chapter 100: The Shocking Record (2nd Update)
On April 10th, only fifteen days after Wu Hao's new product launch conference, Haoyu Technology's official Weibo released a new announcement.
As of 11:13:47 a.m. on the 10th, Haoyu Technology's H1 intelligent assistant has been sold in official shopping malls and official brand stores of several major online shopping platforms.
In order to thank our users for their support, we will open the app store in the official virtual service lobby. Some of the service functions that have not been unlocked before can be found in the mall, and users are welcome to actively try them. From now on, all purchases made in the app store can enjoy a 50% discount.
In addition, in response to the strong request of the majority of users, Haoyu Technology will start selling related ancillary equipment at 12 noon on the 11th, and welcome users to buy.
Smart home life starts here, are you ready? ”
It's just a report on the results and the launch of the product, and there's nothing unusual about it, but everyone is surprised that the million sales came so quickly.
You must know that it has only been on sale for fifteen days, and there are already a million units sold. From obscurity to a popular hit among the public, the speed of Haoyu Technology's rise is really like riding a rocket.
Is it really lucky to come up suddenly, and anyone who pays a little attention to tech news will shake their heads.
Although this company is not well-known, it really didn't become popular with one product. Many people still remember the wonderful performance of the drone cluster light and shadow in Yangcheng before, as well as the news of participating in the exhibition before.
Those who know a little bit know that although this company is relatively small, it has come up with extreme technologies that have amazed the world one after another. It is said that the previous drone technology is already cooperating with the military, so it can be seen that this company still has something.
It's just that they didn't expect that Wu Hao and they would be able to release a mushroom cloud outside in such a short time.
This intelligent voice technology is undoubtedly more shocking than the previous drone swarm array technology.
Everyone didn't expect that such a technology that the world's technology giants are vying to research would be given a breakthrough by such a small company and a few young people.
Is this artificial intelligence, the answer is yes, and it still belongs to the category of weak artificial intelligence. But in terms of technology, it is epoch-making, first of all, as Wu Hao said, they make the language full of warmth, and it is no longer such a cold programming and mechanical language.
The second is that this device can feel people's joys and sorrows. Through the tone of the voice, as well as the heart rate of the person under different emotions, the device can determine the person's expression at the time and respond accordingly.
Now they finally understand why Wu Hao didn't make mobile phones or bracelets, but made devices that were mounted on their ears.
This means that once the user wears the device, they no longer need to deliberately operate it, just voice control.
If it's another device, a mobile phone, or even a bracelet, you have to take out your phone or raise your hand or something if you want to operate it.
And this device can fit snugly in the ears and mouth, so you don't need to deliberately operate it at all, you just need to talk normally. This is a big step forward and means that this device will be completely integrated into everyone's life.
Maybe at first you think it's nothing, but after a long time, you won't get used to it.
People are like that, once you are asked to take a shortcut, you will not take that long road in the future. Therefore, we often see that there are often many shortcuts that are artificially stepped on in some road curves.
By the same token, once you've accepted a more convenient product, it's hard to go back to the original product.
What is the more convenient product than Wu Hao's intelligent voice assistant, everyone is also in deep thought.
Perhaps in addition to the real practical AR technology in the future, it seems that these wearable products or personal information products on the market can't compare to it.
Of course, this intelligent voice assistant is not without its shortcomings, and it has many shortcomings. For example, you can't connect to the mobile network independently, you have to use a mobile phone. And some information must be through the mobile phone or computer TV screen, the voice is not very intuitive.
But there's no denying that it's a successful product, and it's successful enough to amaze every user who uses it.
So in such a short period of time, it is not surprising that a million units can be sold quickly. Some people even feel that it is a pity that if Wu Hao can be good at operation and hype, the sales of this product will be far more than that.
This can't be said to be Wu Hao's negligence, it can only be said to be a marketing strategy. They can choose to hold a vigorous press conference and hype it up, so that the sales will definitely explode.
But in this way, it means that they will have to face a large number of orders in a short period of time. And with their current cooperation with the foundry, they can't bear it at all.
Even if the foundry scales up, it needs to be a gradual process. In addition to adding equipment to make abrasives, it is also necessary to retrain the relevant employees. What's more, this will mean higher costs and upfront investment, which Wu Hao can't afford at all in his current situation.
That's why they choose to take such a way, relying on the user's reputation to slowly ferment, so as to grow in a step-by-step way.
As it turned out, they were right. With the increasing number of users, there are more and more discussions and evaluations about this product on the Internet, which undoubtedly saves them a lot of publicity costs.
With an excellent reputation, orders are also growing rapidly. Judging from the sales monitoring in the past ten days, the number of their orders has also increased exponentially. Put simply, it's an accelerated growth.
And their foundry on the Great Wall side has also begun to pay attention to cooperation with them. At present, several production lines have been freed up for full production, but even this is still a little unable to keep up with sales.
For this reason, Zhang Jun was not less angry, and even considered whether to cooperate with other manufacturers to increase sales. In the end, the deputy general manager of Great Wall personally went to Anxi to appease him, promising to mobilize relevant resources as soon as possible to fully produce to temporarily stabilize Zhang Jun.
The same situation also appeared in several other manufacturers of ancillary equipment, which originally thought that 70,000 or 80,000 units of such ancillary equipment were about the same. But less than a week after the envisioned launch, 50,000 sets of smart home devices control the mid-range, 20,000 smart cameras and 120,000 smart switch panels have all been sold, which really shocked everyone.
