Conference room.

Yao Jianhong is still speaking: "Our research information shows that since the second half of 2015, Amazon has started to open access to third-party voice assistant Alexa has brought it many third-party enterprise customer partners, such as LG Group."

Speaking of this, Yao Jianhong changed his words: "However, judging from the market reports we have learned, LG Group, which vows to compete with Samsung in the field of smart home, does not seem to intend to 'put all the eggs in the same basket'. We may also be able to fight for it, but this is a 'e-five' and cannot expect too much."

Luo Sheng said concisely: "What do you say?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Yao Jianhong, who flipped a few pages from his paper document and said:

"At this year's CES exhibition, the participating LG Group announced its AI smart home sub-brand ThinQ for the first time. Among the first products under the sub-brand, all products such as smart TVs, smart speakers and other products have been connected to Google's Google Assistant voice assistant service, and only Amazon's Alexa technology is used in smart kitchen series products such as InstaView refrigerators."

"However, it is worth mentioning that LG Group also launched the new intelligent robot brand CLOi for the first time at this year's CES exhibition. All of the robot products under this brand use LG's self-developed ThinQ AI system and does not connect to Google or Amazon's voice assistant services."

Another executive at the meeting also said after hearing this: "It can be seen that LG Group is not willing to use other people's technology. Sooner or later, it will be a 'Erwuzi'."

In fact, any large company with a little ambition is unwilling to use other people's skills. If you want others, you will be subject to others. This is a truth that everyone understands.

However, technology is developing rapidly, and sometimes times will not stay waiting for you. Using other people's technology is also the second choice.

Yao Jianhong looked through a few pages of the documents again, and obviously put in a lot of effort to understand the current situation of the industry, rather than doing it without thinking, otherwise he would not be able to be the second place on the Costa delle of the Blue.

“Compared with LG Group, Samsung Group, which just released its voice assistant Bixby last year, announced at this year’s CES exhibition that it will add this technology to its own 2018 TV and Family Hub smart refrigerator.”

Yao Jianhong looked at the content of the file and looked around the attendees and smiled: "The reason I focused on this smart refrigerator that Samsung had launched two years ago this time is mainly because of an interesting point of view of Samsung."

Luo Sheng: "What is the point of view?"

Yao Jianhong briefly explained: "Unlike Amazon, Apple, SFC or Google, Samsung Group does not agree with the view that "smart speakers are the most suitable center for managing various types of smart hardware", but they firmly believe that only refrigerators are the appliances that people open most frequently in their daily lives, so they believe that refrigerators are the most likely central products to become smart homes."

"Samsung Group even gave Family Hub refrigerators the highest management authority on its own smart home platform, allowing it to control all smart home products in the house that support Samsung's IoT technology."

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "The Koreans' idea is tricky, but the Dabai robot we launch next year is the real central-level product of smart home. Whether it is a smart speaker or a refrigerator called by Koreans, it is dead and will not move. The Dabai robot can move everywhere. Our ultimate pursuit of this product is that it is not like an individual, but in all aspects it must be like an individual."

Yao Jianhong nodded and continued to add: "In addition, Google, which participated in the CES exhibition for the first time this year, is still worth mentioning. In addition to its cooperation with LG Group in home appliances, Google will further carry Google's voice assistant services on the developed 'smart display's' developed by Sony, Lianxiang and **L."

As he said that, Yao Jianhong further explained: "This so-called 'smart display' is actually just a smart speaker, just like Google He and He mini designed by Google itself, but it is just an additional information display screen that can instantly display voice commands. From this, it can be seen that Google, which has been widened in the sales of smart speakers, is trying to take the lead through differentiated products that optimize the experience."

Yao Jianhong has basically deconstructed several of his major manufacturers in the past twenty minutes. It can be seen that the Costa çare seems to be "cold" in the field of smart homes, but he is well aware of the current development status of this industry.

Luo Sheng leaned against the chief seat, crossed his legs and said calmly with a smile: "In this sprint competition that may only last for a few years, these players from different fields are chasing on different tracks. Some specialize in real-sensing computing solutions, some specialize in core chip equipment, and some are committed to integrating these cutting-edge technologies into a system."

"Whether it is Google, Amazon or Samsung, tech giants, everyone wants to take the lead, and no one wants to lag behind... Who will eventually stand out in this battle between the smart home AI ecosystem? It's hard to say now. Of course, the premise is that I, the Costa delle of the Blue."

The last sentence caused Yao Jianhong and others to laugh softly at the meeting. Not only Luo Sheng had great confidence in Dabai Robot, but also the company's internal management.

Although in terms of price, a big white robot can buy a bunch of Amazon Echo smart speakers, which means that sales will definitely be difficult, and it seems that this is not conducive to building an ecosystem at smart home.

After all, the basis of the ecosystem is user scale.

Major technology giants are competing to make arrangements in the field of smart homes, and without exception, they all have their eyes on the same thing - data.

In today's big data era, data is the most valuable and core competitiveness of a company, and can bring a steady stream of revenue.

Just imagine, when a family uses a company's smart home products, the data on various consumption of the family's daily life will be in the hands of the company, and you will know what products the family likes to consume, what foods it prefers, and other data information.

After knowing this information, there are N ways to make profits for digital giants.

However, the value of data information is also divided into tiers. Some data are extremely rich, but they are worthless. It is equivalent to wasting resources.

And some data, although very little, have high value.

The Costa del Blue never thought that it was going to monopolize more than 80% of the entire smart home field. It was completely unnecessary. It was enough to monopolize more than 80% of the profits of the industry.

Dabai Robot is positioned as the model of Azure mobile phones for smart consumer terminals, and is positioned as a high-end and high-premium consumer-grade product.

Obviously, after establishing its own positioning, the customer group that Dabai Robot targets are middle-income and above families. These customers are rich and have the financial resources to afford Dabai Robot. At the same time, their data is also of high value, and the premium depends on their wealth.

The poor are relatively valuable even for the data generated. Those who illegally sell data, the data information of the poor are sold in packages of millions and tens of millions, and they may only buy tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan. A single data is less than a cent, or even a cent. The data of the rich may be worth a lot.

This is a heartbreaking and extremely realistic question.

Since Costa del Sur has entered the smart home industry late, it simply won’t play with those people, and will take the high-end route directly and eat all the best customer groups. This requires real hard power and real core technology, and this is exactly the greatest competitiveness of Costa del Sur.

When the majority of the profits of the monopoly industry are profitable, the speed of competitors' development will inevitably be limited. R&D requires money. If there is not enough profit, there will be no sufficient R&D funds, and technology will not be able to catch up. This is such a vicious cycle.

On the contrary, for the Costa ça, it has made sufficient profits. Whether the price reduction will be reduced to extend the tentacles to the mid- and low-end markets will be a ruthless dimensional reduction blow to competitors, and I will take the initiative.
