Chapter 777: Consumer Goods Department at the Bottom of the Contempt Chain
On the second day after returning to Shanghai, Zhou Rui basically spent his time wandering around the company and showing off his face.
He took Gan Yuan with him to look around here and there.
The whole company was very understanding of their boss's lack of enthusiasm for making money and his frequent outings.
Some bosses don't show up for several months, and employees will think that he has run away.
Some bosses don't show up for several months, and employees will only think that the boss must be holding back a big move.
Isn't it a big move to send things into the universe?
Employees were also proud to see the boss launch things to the moon on the news.
It felt like they were also launched by the boss.
However, Zhou Rui stayed in the consumer products department for a longer time this time, and gathered the heads and brains to hold a small meeting.
Zhou Rui first learned about the next plan for consumer products, and as expected, it was still squeezing toothpaste on the old road of drones and unmanned dogs.
He didn't blame these people. After all, some really important things had not been planned to be put into the consumer products market before. In the past few years, Kaiming Intelligence has done nothing wrong from a purely commercial perspective, with more and more business and higher sales.
The global consumer drone market share exceeds 85%, and the remaining 15% is still because it is impossible to count. Those non-intelligent devices that Zhou Rui despises have created huge profits and won the reputation of consumers.
On the other hand, the "God of Agriculture" and "God of Water" that Zhou Rui prefers are social undertakings and do not make money. Even if personnel, maintenance, and after-sales are included, they still lose money.
The update of the consumer product line only follows the conventional business logic, but it seems to be left behind in comparison with his own boss.
He is also in a rare mood to help consumer products.
There are also some old faces in the meeting. After all, this is the company's earliest product line, and they are all born engineers.
First of all, Zhou Rui emphasized that he always remembers that his company is "enlightened intelligence", not "enlightened drones".
He chose drones as the carrier at that time because drones were the most suitable and simplest with the technology and production capacity at that time.
Especially with the opening of "smart towns" to the outside world, the God of Agriculture and the God of Water have appeared in the north and south of the country, and some technical background can be released.
Finally, a general direction and several new products were determined.
The general direction is to gradually unlock the seal of smart devices and allow them to sink into the consumer goods market.
On this basis, a relay intelligent center will be established to remotely network in the form of signal relay to provide intelligence for a single smart node.
The next generation of "smart birds" and "smart dogs" will have simple intelligence.
Compared with the real "self-organizing network", there is definitely a delay, and the functions will be limited. Ordinary consumers can't play with it, and at most they can experience "mechanical intelligence" superficially.
Of course, this "shallow" is just Zhou Rui's cognition.
For ordinary consumers, it is already "awesome".
Just the sinking of "smart technology" is enough to detonate the market.
Also unblocked and sinking are some hardware devices that Zhou Rui thinks are outdated.
For example, "balls", with relay networking, can become a good interactive robot, just castrate it.
In the military drone system, the "head display technology" that has become the second echelon can also be castrated and released to make money.
No, it is to let consumers experience better products.
Other companies call it developing new products.
Zhou Rui castrated the old products and sold them to ordinary consumers.
The more advanced ones are for the country.
The more advanced ones will be hidden for a while.
Zhou Rui casually mentioned it. To be precise, he gave some permissions and was not prepared to participate in the research and development.
To be precise, he participated in castration.
Although Kaiming Intelligence’s truly powerful technical personnel were not placed on the "Consumer Products Department" line, this is castration, not growing a bull out of thin air. Can't this little thing be done?
After Zhou Rui left, the Consumer Products Department was so happy that they almost opened champagne.
The boss lifted some permissions, and they can finally act boldly!
Let's take a look at other product lines.
Agricultural God Department: We have a full set of planting plans for more than 600 crops, intelligently identify the fertilizer, medicine, and damage of the land, and benefit thousands of households. Wherever there are farmers, there are us!
Water God Department: We have saved countless people, fearless of water and fire, and go upstream! There are also modified rescue platform boards. Wherever there are difficulties, there are us!
Smart Industry Department: We produce one piece, and the technology is explosive. We can make solar panels and can build things. Sorry, you are not qualified to know!
Taiyi Tiangong: We have lunar equipment, rocket recovery, satellite recovery. It is the boss's new favorite.
Consumer product line: We have a higher-definition camera, a full ceramic back panel, four new colors, and a small bangs on the remote control display. Super cute~
Money is really made, but the things are really outdated and at the bottom of the contempt chain
Especially Kaiming Intelligence, because the boss Zhou Rui is always at the forefront of technological breakthroughs.
It is not that which department can make money, which department has a strong back
They are embarrassed to talk about technology with other departments. After a few words, the other party will pop up: "Oh? You consumer product department also understand this? I thought you only know how to change the appearance!"
Damn, you can sit up and curse in the middle of the night.
After this meeting, the consumer product department is ready to fight and vow to wipe out the shame at this autumn press conference!
——————
After leaving the consumer goods department, Zhou Rui heard the suppressed cheers from behind and probably guessed what they were excited about.
She turned to Gan Yuan and said, "If there is any news in the consumer products department in the future, you can add it to the daily report and let me know. I will check it."
Gan Yuan wrote it down in a small notebook, and then said in a low voice: "Good boss, it was also my negligence. I didn't realize in advance that the consumer product line has insufficient innovation capabilities."
Zhou Rui glanced at her and saw Gan Yuan's sincere remorse in her eyes. He was speechless and patted her on the shoulder.
"You are a little too self-conscious. Consumer products do not have real technology. They are just the tone I set before. Everyone is just following along."
"And the so-called lack of 'innovation capability' is a vertical comparison within the company. When it is compared with other consumer electronics companies outside, there is nothing wrong with it. You have managed it very well."
If the innovation of consumer products can keep up with the speed at which he climbs the technological tree.
Wouldn't that be rebellion against Tiangang?
It was getting late. Zhou Rui and Gan Yuan returned to the office and had a small meeting. At eight or nine o'clock, they left together.
It was already this hour, but there were still many people in the elevator. Zhou Rui thought of queuing up to take the elevator in the morning, and said to Gan Yuan after leaving the building:
“Is the capacity of smart buildings about to reach its limit?”
Gan Yuan said: "There should still be enough capacity, but it is indeed a bit crowded."
Zhou Rui nodded and said: "The company will definitely continue to develop. We need to prepare early. Later, you will pay attention to the problems of the new office space. You can set up a branch in the same city."
With Kai Mingzhi's current financial resources, there is no problem in buying a property in Lujiazui.
Gan Yuan suddenly said: "What do you think of the next door? Although it is a bit short, I think it is more convenient."
Zhou Rui looked up and saw an office building only 100 meters away from the smart building.
The original smart building, also known as the "Intelligent Space", was originally built by the same developer. It was a collection of office buildings with a total of four buildings. One of them was provided free of charge to Fuda as a start-up base, and was later used by Fuda. Zhou Rui won.
Now it seems that taking the opposite side is not as grand, but it is indeed the most convenient option. Otherwise, many employees will have to consider the changes brought about by changing their workplace.
Moreover, the building intelligent system is also convenient for sharing.
Zhou Rui praised: "Okay, let's talk to the Mi family. You should have contact information. If possible, ask about the remaining two buildings as well."
Gan Yuan was very happy that her idea was recognized by her boss.
The two waved goodbye, Gan Yuan went to drive, while Zhou Rui put on his baseball cap and headed towards Jiangwan Hanlin.
When passing by the office building next door, Zhou Rui glanced subconsciously and happened to see the property security guard arguing with a group of people who looked like a construction team.
"Can you do it? If there is a water leakage problem, it will break again in less than a week after repairing it!"
Zhou Rui smiled slightly. If he wanted to buy it, he would have to ask Gan Yuan to confirm the status of the building.
