Chapter 223: Developing Products
Chen Xiaoyan's words shocked me, but I thought for a while and said: "Chen Anzhi and Xu Hening, the so-called success masters, are indeed liars. Robin and Dale. Carnegie and these people are the masters of potential motivation that everyone respects."
My rebuttal made Chen Xiaoyan smile: "Their books are indeed more or less beneficial, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they can't be pragmatic. Chinese people do not lack motivation, do not lack goals, and do not lack so-called teaching, we have Lao Tzu, we have Confucius, we have all kinds of sage books, these books do not lack lofty dreams, but in an impetuous society, how many of our younger generation can be pragmatic? Start with the little things around you and start from the small dreams at hand. The first thing I did when I joined my father's company was to go to the bottom and work for three months. Then, step by step, I indirectly inherited my father's position and became the head of our company. ”
I didn't speak, what Chen Xiaoyan said was the truth.
I suddenly asked her very strangely, "Why don't you say this in today's speech?" ”
Chen Xiaoyan raised her glass and said: "The pragmatic person is already pragmatic, and the non-pragmatic person will not be pragmatic even if you say it." ”
I frowned and said, "That's a strange word." ”
……
Chen Xiaoyan went back to Zhejiang from Shanghai that night, and after Chen Xiaoyan left, I drove Qingyu home from the airport. In the car, I told Qingyu what I had seen and heard in the capital, and I didn't ask anything after I finished speaking. Qingyu was silent for a while and said, "Xiaoyan wants me to go to Zhejiang to help her." And she promised to help me get the project off the ground. ”
"What do you think?" I said, looking at the road ahead.
"I didn't promise her because you came to help me." Qingyu said.
"Actually, you should go with her, she can give you a higher starting point."
It's strange that I don't know why I would say such a thing. Xia Wanyu seemed to have said this to me before, but I didn't agree at the beginning. The current Qingyu did not agree. She was willing to stay and work on the project with me, and I was transferred to work on the project.
Life is getting better all the time because I'm climbing up the ladder every day.
Qingyu and I bought a piece of land in Caowang Town, Jiading District, and built an innovation factory. And set up a company in Shanghai, Qingyu and I thought for a long time, and named the company Qingqing Innovation Company. After the establishment of these two departments, Qingyu went out to recruit people, and the target of recruitment was the type of home appliance innovation engineer. Developers who have developed home appliances or can complete home appliances independently are preferred.
It's hard to find such talents, but as long as the conditions and benefits are good, anyone can win them. After discussing with Qingyu, I offered the chief engineer an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, and as long as the company's profitability was good, he could also get a certain amount of founder's shares. After many scrutiny, a twenty-five-year-old young man named Nie Hao came into the sight of me and Qingyu.
This guy studied at North China Electric Power University, and after graduation, he worked as an engineer in a well-known company and participated in the design of a variety of household appliances. However, I was dissatisfied with the company's treatment, and when Qingyu and I were recruiting, I was ready to change jobs.
Nie Hao was very much in line with the requirements of our good Qingyu, and we immediately decided to appoint him as the chief engineer. This is the product development aspect, we also need APP software designers, as well as software engineers. I left all this to Qingyu, and Qingyu quickly selected talents, a total of ten developers. Basically, all of them come from large enterprises and have relevant work experience, and the annual salary of these ten people is about four or five million. It's a lot of money, so Qingyu and I have to make the best use of it and squeeze out the value of them.
The intelligence of household appliances is no longer a precedent, so Qingyu and I gave them a one-month time target, so that they can develop a model of the product within one month, the product can be used within three months, and the product can be listed within half a year. Chief Engineer Nie Hao assured me that he would be able to complete the task.
After the establishment of Sinovation Works, I basically lived in Sinovation Ventures six days a week, which made Xia Wanyu very dissatisfied. But Xia Wanyu saw that I was so busy, and she was embarrassed to say anything. So she had to take advantage of her free time every day to visit me at the Innovation Works, and every time she came, she brought something delicious and sent it to the engineers. After coming here for a long time, the engineers all call Xia Wanyu sister-in-law and call me Brother Hao.
Xia Wanyu also acquiesced to their names. The development of a new product is always accompanied by many failures and difficulties. During my first month at the Innovation Factory, we woke up every morning and didn't go to bed until late at night. The drawings in the computer were drawn one after another, the plan was changed again and again, and the investigation was done one after another. The Red Bull in the refrigerator is often full, and all kinds of tools are bought again and again. I bought four refrigerators in half a month, and as for water heaters, electric fans, and air conditioners, I bought them non-stop.
During this time, I learned the nine principles of refrigeration in refrigerators. I learned the principle of motor rotation and understood the principle of microwave oven heating. I learned many chemical equations and gained a deeper understanding of the role of circuits. As well as the development process of APP, the writing of computer software, the management of databases, etc. The development of a product requires the integration of too many things, I don't have time to think about other things, I think about how to make the product and make the product good every day.
Twenty-eight days later, our first-generation model finally rolled off the production line. We placed the product in the refrigerator, and through the mobile phone software, we observed the temperature in the refrigerator and various food safety indicators. And you can also manage the power and power outage of the refrigerator through your mobile phone. And this is a series of products, all kinds of home appliances APP controllers, there are.
Moreover, we have also made a power switch that can be controlled by APP, and any electrical appliance can be remotely powered off anytime and anywhere as long as this switch is used. It is also able to monitor home power usage, and so on. However, after just one day of use, this series of products suddenly exploded, and after inspection, it was found that it was because of the resistance in the use of the product.
After another week of fighting.
The first generation of the product finally rolled off the assembly line, and after two days and two nights of repeated testing, there were no problems with the product.
At this time, nearly a month has passed since I came to Caowang Town.
When I drove home from Caowang Town with the first generation of the product, it was late at night. When passing through Hongqiao Airport, I watched a plane flying towards Hongqiao from afar, and suddenly I had a strange feeling, as if the city was very strange.
