Chapter 371 Jiehu AI, protective acquisition!

Although this press conference was held in Xia State, it caused a sensation around the world.

Many Western media have reported on it.

It’s just that these reports were normal at first, but soon became a little weird:

[The Times: Xingyi Technology released the world’s first smart speaker, ushering in a new era of smart homes for all!]

[BBC: Thanks to Xiaoai Audio, the smart home experience of the richest man Bill Gates has entered the homes of ordinary people.]

[Jingbao: Miraculous, a Xiaoai stereo can make the old air conditioners and TVs at home smart and obedient!]

[The Guardian: That man, carrying the Xiaoai AI speaker, has once again subverted the world.]

[Ta Kung Pao: Xiaoai Audio, the world’s first AI audio, the first smart home control center audio, launched globally! Even Bill Gates wants it!]



Wang Yi looked at these news with a wonderful expression.

The first part was fine and normal, but what was that thing at the end?

Carrying Xiao Ai's stereo and subverting the world... Wang Yi couldn't help but think of Gang Leader Qiao...

Even Bill Gates wants it... I guess he really wants it!

But with these reports, Xiaoai Audio quickly became popular all over the world.

Especially in the West, as soon as they woke up and saw this report, many people went crazy squatting on the toilet.

Immediately call your friends and go straight to the nearby Xingyi flagship store, Meiyou, and Zhenyou physical stores, place an order, and go home to experience it.

For a time, foreign sales also began to surge.

"Sure enough, it's because of the night. Now the hot sales in the West have begun." Song Sining looked at the surge of data in the background and completely recognized the reality.

Wang Yi nodded: "Since we defeated Apple in the mobile phone field, we have become a leader in the Internet industry, bringing our own traffic. Now we have released the innovative Xiaoai Audio to deploy smart homes, and Western media are also pursuing the popularity. It is difficult not to

It has been widely reported and it is natural that it will sell well all over the world. What’s more, we also have Leonardo DiCaprio’s endorsement.”

With the Olympic Games approaching, Xiao Li's advertisements endorsing Xphone 1pro have appeared all over the world.

Similarly, Xiaoli Zi’s endorsement of Xiaoai Audio and smart home advertisements have also appeared all over the world.

Including advertisements and POPs for xbuds Bluetooth headsets, they are all Xiaoli.

As for Zhen You, the spokesperson and billboards of Mei You are all Taylor Swift.

So much endorsement fees have been spent, and the benefits must be maximized.

"But it's okay. Xiaoai Audio is very simple to produce. Goertek has abundant production capacity. Just place an order." Wang Yixiao said.

Song Sining nodded: "You are still thoughtful. As a reward, I will give you a kiss."

"One kiss is not enough!" Wang Yixiao said, "Let's continue our career!"

With that said, Wang Yi went straight to the bedroom.

Song Sining thought of the morning... her expression changed drastically:

"Well... take a rest, it wasn't like yesterday..."

"You had dinner yesterday, but you won't eat today?" Wang Yi said seriously.

Song Sining was speechless: "..."

'Can this be the same?'

But she is not one to admit defeat.

Even launched a counterattack!



But Baidu Li Yan was melancholy.

Tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.

The wife next to her noticed this abnormality and couldn't help but comfort her: "But are you worried that Wang Yi's words at the press conference will cause our stock price to plummet again?"

Li Yan nodded.

His wife hugged him: "Don't worry, Wang Yi is not that capable, so don't worry."

Li Yan sighed: "I hope so."

"Go to sleep, it's okay." My wife said gently.

Li Yan then closed his eyes and only turned on his phone from time to time to check the stock price.

When I saw the stock price drop, I started to worry.

Seeing that the stock price had stabilized, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, I didn’t sleep much all night, and the next day I found that the stock price still fell by 10%!

This kind of drop made Li Yan feel like he was neither going up nor down.

In the morning, Wang Yi also received the first day’s sales data.

Xiaoai Audio’s domestic sales exceeded 850,000 units and overseas sales exceeded 650,000 units!

In one day and one night, 1.5 million units were sold worldwide, and half of the 3 million units in stock were used up.

Wang Yi was very convinced.

However, this was just the beginning. The sales on the second day were still hot, not much worse than the first day.

Otherwise, consumers like to show off.

People who got the Xiaoai speakers on the 25th started posting on WeChat Moments that day to show off their Xiaoai speakers.

Show off Xiao Ai's AI and let it play whatever song it wants.

Ask Xiao Ai to turn on the TV, and Xiao Ai will turn on the TV.

Ask Xiao Ai to turn on the air conditioner, and Xiao Ai will turn on the air conditioner!

Ask Xiao Ai to turn on the light, Xiao Ai will turn on the light!



After doing this, he immediately became the most handsome guy in his circle of friends.

Other chatting friends were equally excited when they saw it and placed orders one after another.

Users fissioned, and Xiaoai's sales became extremely hot the next day.

Public opinion on the Internet exploded:

"Xiao Ai's audio system is really amazing. It's both AI and smart home. It's so awesome that I have to buy it!"

"Thousand-yuan sound quality, AI, smart home, and a free annual membership of 180 yuan. It only costs 1,399. It's a real deal. If you don't buy it, you'll lose!"

"Yes, Director Wang is giving us benefits this time."

"It's okay. I bought two Xiaoai classmates at one time and it cost me a month's salary!"

“One is enough, why buy two?”

"Infrared has a distance range. One is in the living room, controlling the cabinet and TV, and the living room lights. The other is in the bedroom, controlling the hook and small TV in the bedroom."

"I see, I've been taught a lesson and I'm going to do two more tricks."

"Ele.me's riders deliver it to your door. It's so convenient. I placed the order at nine o'clock and I started using the Zhen You Lip Mud at ten o'clock. It looks so good. My colleagues also bought it."

"Yesterday, our department also had a collective hourly meeting. The old woman in charge scolded me, saying that I fished during work hours and was not doing my job properly. But this morning, I saw an Ele.me rider delivering the female supervisor's Zhenyou skirt.

Fuck!"

"Hahaha, it's so funny. Our manager is very nice. He even worked with us on what color and style to buy to avoid matching clothes."

"I'm envious, what a good manager."

"I bought Xiaoai Audio, opened the Star God Card, and am currently playing "Honkai Impact". I have to say, China Unicom 3G is really fast."

"Yes, it feels several times faster than mobile 3G."

"With the Xingshen Card, the Xingyi system has free data usage. It's so cool. The phone bill I save in a year can be used to buy a Xiaoai stereo."

"I envy all the young masters and ladies. They have Xiao Ai speakers, Star Cards, and Zhenyou lipstick, but I just want to run a takeaway and earn 3,500."

"I'm jealous of you. We moved bricks for a month and only paid more than 2,000. You might as well deliver food!"

"I don't want to hold 2,000 yuan and be grabbed by the manager every day. Made! I will become a Gaode driver tomorrow and open a Gaode card. I heard there are subsidies. I can earn 4,000 yuan a month and still be free!"

"I've also heard that taking a taxi with Amap makes more money than taking a taxi."

"That's for sure. AutoNavi does not rip off customers when taking taxis. The charges are clear and users can rest assured. AutoNavi charges less and the drivers earn more. Renting is incomparable."

"The Star God Card is really great. It's more cost-effective than the black card. It's perfect for playing "Honkai". You don't have to worry about overusing the data or being in arrears. It's so cool."



Looking at these public opinions, Wang Yi was determined: "I thought Xiaoai Audio was a hot seller on the first day, but the sales volume would be halved on the second day. Unexpectedly, the momentum seemed to be even stronger today."

Song Sining agreed very much: "Xiao Ai Audio is currently selling very well around the world. It sells 1.5 million units worldwide in one day, 2.5 million units in two days, and it may be out of stock in the world in three days."

Wang Yi sighed: "It's the same thing, the troubles of happiness. Who would have thought that it could sell so well even if it was sold at a high price of 1,399!"

In the previous life, Amazon launched the world's first smart speaker in 2014. It had lower configurations but sold for more than 1,200 yuan. It also sold well.

Consumers are curious, they like new things, they just want to be the most fashionable.

You know, when Android implemented under-screen lenses and full-screen, and Apple released Smart Island, many users became excited.

What's more, the smart speaker released by Wang Yi in 2012 was the one with infrared and a smart home control center!

It’s hard to think whether it will be a hot seller or not.

"Fortunately, we didn't sell it at a low price, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss." Wang Yi was filled with emotion.

Initially, I was worried that building a thousand-yuan AI speaker would be unsaleable if it sold for only 1,399 yuan.

Wang Yi originally planned to take the Xiaomi route and make a low-end speaker, add H1 chip and AI, and sell it for 799.

Later, I thought that the Xingyi brand cannot be a low-end product and it is the world's first AI speaker, so it can simply go directly to high-quality speakers.

Thousand yuan level configuration and performance, plus AI, smart home, free one-year membership, sold for 1399!

In this way, even if the sales volume is average, we can still produce a Xiaoai speaker without infrared for 999.

Then come out with a 799 low-end Xiaoai speaker.

The 599 Unbounded Xiaoai Audio will be released next year.

Properly advance to attack, retreat to defend.

But I didn’t expect that the plan might as well change.

The 1399 series sold out immediately. The remaining low-end series can be slowly launched based on market conditions.

Song Sining was a little worried: "The sales volume is too high, and there are also worries about happiness. Our hourly model has just been released, and it is very popular among users. But within three days, it will be out of stock, and it will be a joke if the hourly model cannot be produced!

"

Wang Yi frowned slightly: "Your concerns are right. The main products of Xiaoda at the moment are Xiaoai Audio, Xingshen Card, and Xiaoshen Card. Especially Xiaoai Audio is a big head. If it is out of stock, it will be really troublesome.

"

"No, we have to make Goertek madly add orders!" Wang Yi dialed Goertek's phone again:

"Dr. Jiang, Xiao Ai's speakers are also sold out overseas. The current situation is that they will be out of stock in three days."

"So crazy?" Director Jiang was also startled: "Director Wang, how do you plan it? Goer fully supports it."

Wang Yi said decisively: "Since the sales are hot, we will increase the quantity and manage it enough. You concentrate the production capacity and produce like crazy. First, produce at a daily output of one million for ten days. After ten days, depending on the market situation, we will reduce the order again. I estimate that after ten days

Sales will drop."

"Ten days? One million units per day!" Director Jiang took a deep breath: "Okay, Director Wang, then I will move the orders from other customers back a little to a week later. In the next ten days, one million units per day will be produced.

Taiwan, priority is given to Xiaoai Audio!"

??????55.??????

"grateful!"

"This is what we should do. Moreover, Xiao Ai's speakers are selling like hotcakes, and other brands of speakers will be affected and unsaleable. We don't need to tell them, they will cut off the orders themselves."

Director Jiang is very familiar with this matter: "This was the case with previous Bluetooth headsets. After the popularity of Xbuds, the sales of other brands dropped sharply and they collectively cut orders."

"Okay, let's arrange it this way!"

Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The daily output of one million units in ten days was a total of 10 million Xiaoai stereos. Adding in the current 3 million units, the total was more than 13 million units!

Not only can it solve the shortage of supply, but it can also store some spot goods.

Wait ten days and then reduce the order based on market sales.

Song Sining was a little worried: "Chairman, if our friends follow the trend and make the price even lower, will we be caught off guard if we are producing like this?"

Wang Yi waved his hand and said earnestly: "With a hot product like Xiao Ai Audio, there will definitely be friends who will follow suit. We can only seize the market by taking advantage of the monopoly market and making big sales before our friends follow suit."

"It will have to be at least a year before the AI ​​speakers that follow suit from our competitors come out. By then, Xiaoai Audio has already sold tens of millions of units, and our competitors can only stare in disbelief."

"A year later?" Song Sining was puzzled: "Will they be so slow to follow the trend?"

Wang Yi nodded: "I'm not looking down on them, they really can't do AI sound these days!"

"Why?" Song Sining was a little confused.

"Simple." Wang Yixiao said: "Speakers are easy to make, but AI speakers are difficult. First, they have to solve the problem of smart home chips. We have H1. If they want to copycat, they have to find a chip to replace H1."

Wang Yi promised to open H1 to friends, which was cooperation, but he did not allow them to use Wang Yi's chips or copy Wang Yi's products to seize Wang Yi's market.

"Secondly, even if they buy smart speaker chips, they still have to build a smart home ecological chain and technical solutions. This will take at least half a year."

"Finally, even if the above two are completed, they still lack the most critical AI algorithm!"

"Looking around the world, the best AI algorithms currently available are except for our Xiao Ai, which is Apple's Siri. Others, including BAT, JD.com, and 360, are all in vain."

A few years later, BAT's AI did well, but in 2012, it didn't work.

You know, even Microsoft's MSN and Goose Factory's QQ all use Xiaoi robots.

These days, I don’t have anything of my own.

Wang Yi remembers that in his previous life, the first domestically produced AI speaker was JD.com’s Ding Dong Ding Dong.

But unfortunately, it’s not JD.com’s technology, killing them would be useless, but iFlytek’s technology!

In a previous life, in 2014, Amazon launched the world's first AI speaker.

Daqiangzi had an idea, but he didn’t have the technology, so he approached iFlytek, which had the technology but no platform!

The two parties hit it off immediately and established a joint venture company, Linglong Technology Co., Ltd.

In the second half of 2015, Linglong Technology Co., Ltd. launched the first domestic AI speaker, Ding Dong Ding Dong, priced at 699!

In the following years, Xiaomi Xiaoai, Tmall Elf, Baidu Xiaodu, Tencent Tingting... a number of AI speakers sprung up and were launched one after another.

Likewise, this time, the one who can produce Xiao Ai’s algorithm the fastest is not BAT, but iFlytek!

Even if iFlytek's current strength is not as good as it will be a few years ago, it will still have the strength to do it in less than a year.

By then, giants such as BAT, with the help of iFlytek's AI algorithm, will be able to bring AI speakers to the market, and at the same time, the smart ecological chains of various brands will be disrupted.

Alibaba series, Baidu series, JD series, Midea series, Haier series, Gree series...

In a smart home ecosystem, the less, the better.

It is best if all brands use one system, so users don’t have to worry about using Gree smart home air conditioners, Hisense series TVs, Mijia series sweeping robots, Alibaba series curtains...

That's really annoying.

It is still a system that is best for all.

And that system is Xingyi Zhijia!

And to achieve this, we have to stop the development of our friends.

If you can't stop it from the hardware level, then you can do it from the software level and the algorithm level.

After reading this, Wang Yi looked at Song Sining: "Sining, I will give you an important task next!"

"What's the mission? Is it to lobby major appliance brands and invite them to join our Xingyi Smart Home?"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Xingyi Zhijia has to invite you, but there is no rush. The most important thing right now is that you go to iFlytek to discuss cooperation and buy shares. We can get 30% of the shares for 2 billion!"

"That's...ok!" Although Song Sining didn't particularly understand, she still followed the instructions: "Then I'll book a flight to Feifei City."

"In case you have a long night and have too many dreams, I'll have someone take you to the airport!" Wang Yidao.

With the release of Xiaoai Audio, everyone can see the infinite future of smart home and AI voice interaction.

It’s hard to guarantee that no company will target iFlytek.

If Wang Yi arrived late and was overtaken by others, he would have no place to cry.

Wang Yi remembers that in his previous life, China Mobile invested in iFlytek in the second half of 2012.

What Wang Yi wants to do now is to take the lead.

Even if Wang Yi has the Xiaoi robot, considering the strategic barriers, he still has to bring iFlytek, a sharp knife, under his command.

Otherwise, if the sharp knife of iFlytek falls into the hands of a friend, it will only become a sharp sword slashing at Xingyi Technology!

This is also considered a protective acquisition.

This was true for Goertek before and now for iFlytek.

If Wang Yi had not invested in Goertek and become the second largest shareholder, Goertek would have jumped out and copied Xbuds and Xiaoai Audio.

Similarly, iFlytek must also be captured.

What's more, Wang Yi is vigorously developing AI. The Xiaoi robot alone is not enough. With iFlytek, it will undoubtedly be strengthened and go even further!

Once the technical algorithms of iFlytek and Xiaoi Robot are integrated, Siri will no longer be able to compare with Xiaoi.

More importantly, without iFlytek, it will not take one year for other companies to follow the trend of AI audio. It may take two years, or even three years.

Three years is enough for Xiaoai Audio to dominate the Xia Kingdom!

By then, what competitors will lose is not only the AI ​​speakers, but also the smart home system behind them.

In this life, Wang Yi will sweep the entire smart home market from the beginning. It will never be like in the previous life, where one brand and one system will conquer all consumers.

One set for Xiaomi, one set for Midea, one set for Gree, one set for Hisense... Are you stupid, how do you let consumers choose?

Later, Wang Yi thought about Amazon again:

"By the way, giants such as Sining and overseas Amazon have also arranged for people to keep an eye on them. Once Amazon and other giants start to follow suit and develop AI speakers, our low-end Xiaoai speakers will be mass-produced immediately. Once they are mass-produced, our low-end products will

Launch it immediately at a low price and stop them!"

"Okay!" Song Sining responded.

Understand Wang Yi's style, and push high-end, grab customers, and grab the market before your friends follow suit.

After their friends followed suit, they immediately launched low-end products and started a price war, killing them!

Only in this way can we avoid being entangled by our friends.

After packing their luggage, Song Sining kissed Wang Yi goodbye: "Let's go, take care of yourself and don't be tired."

"You too, dear." Wang Yi hugged Song Sining tightly.

After a long time, the two separated.

Wu Shuang drove Song Sining, her secretary, and bodyguards straight to the airport.

After watching the group leave, Wang Yi received a call from China Unicom Lu Province: One Means Fangzhou:

"Dr. Wang, it's popular! Our Star God Card and Little God Card are all popular."

Duan Fangzhou's words were full of excitement: "Director Wang, one day after going online, the number of activated Star God cards exceeded one million. The number of activated Little God cards also exceeded 800,000!"

"It's hot, it's too hot!"

"So many?" Wang Yi was a little surprised.

But it makes sense when you think about it.

The regular packages these days are too expensive, and the black card is unstable, which makes people worry.

This is why the Star God Card and the Little God Card are so cost-effective.

After all, the Star God Card, Little God Card, and Xingyi Card are free of data and cheap, so they are simply invincible.

The package price of 36,66 is even lower.

As for why the China Unicom number was not directly changed to the Xingyi package? Instead, a new card was required?

Naturally, China Unicom currently has few users, most of whom are mobile users, so changing the package can only satisfy a small number of people.

Secondly, once the trick of changing the package is copied by China Mobile, China Mobile will cooperate with BAT to pull out customized cards and directly change the package due to its user scale, which will be a fatal blow to the Star God Card and the Little God Card.

Therefore, changing the package, which kills 500 enemies and damages 2,000, is not suitable for China Unicom, but suitable for mobile!

After all, China Unicom has less than half of China Mobile’s users!

More importantly, many users currently use black cards. How to change the package?

To change the package, real-name authentication is required!

Wang Yixiao said: "Mr. Duan, this is just the beginning. Before China Mobile and Telecom follow up, we can add a lot of users. But after China Mobile and Telecom follow up, it's hard to say."

Duan Fangzhou understood what Wang Yi meant: "Don't worry, Director Wang, I will go to the Imperial Capital tomorrow and go to the headquarters to talk again in person. We must get a higher discount package. Once Telecom and Mobile follow up, we will increase the amount immediately!"

"Beautiful! I admire your vigorous and resolute behavior." Wang Yixiao said with a smile.

If such a good advantage is crushed by China Mobile and China Telecom, then China Unicom will be useless.

Duan Fangzhou said with a smile: "Little God Card, Star God Card, they are all God Cards. Mr. Wang, I guarantee you that our package will always be the most favorable. As long as China Mobile and Telecom dare to show their sword, no matter how favorable it is, we will

and!"

"Very good! I saw the right person." Wang Yi was convinced.

Operators are trying to get in trouble with each other, and they deserve to die if they get involved.

In the end, the book could no longer be moved, and the three families shook hands and reached a consensus to give up.

Looking at the surge of data in the background, Wang Yi slept happily until he was woken up by the sound of a phone call the next morning.

"Director Wang, help, "Honkai" has been online for two days and has been downloaded more than 1.5 million times. The server can't handle it. Help!"

Over the phone, Mr. Cai said pitifully.

Wang Yi smiled: "I've expected it a long time ago. It's okay. The server is ready. Contact Jian Ziyan and she will arrange someone to handle it for you."

"Are you ready?" Mr. Cai was confused: "Thank you, Director Wang, thank you! Thank you very much."
Chapter completed!
