#783 - Smart Home
With each mobile phone manufacturer releasing their phones, the mobile phone market has become lively!
Clearly, each mobile phone manufacturer has its own most loyal and steadfast users!
Price range below 2000 yuan!
The Mi Red Note5 series, Xingchen 5 series, and Honor 10 series phones are fiercely competing!
As for the price range above 2000, the Honor M10 series and Blue Factory's lQOO series phones are evenly matched!
In short, the mobile phone market in April and May is extremely competitive!
As the competition becomes increasingly fierce, the consumers are still the ones who benefit, which makes many consumers enjoy this competition!
After all, no matter how these mobile phone manufacturers compete, the consumers will ultimately benefit!
It can be said that the fiercer the competition among mobile phone manufacturers, the greater the benefits consumers receive!
Of course, Huaxing Technology is now developing more than just mobile phones!
Since Huaxing Technology went public, it has gained a lot of funds!
Some of these funds are used for technology research and development, while others are used for investment in other companies!
As the scale of Huaxing Semiconductor continues to expand, Lu Haifeng has gradually felt the pressure from across the ocean!
After all, these countries across the ocean have always firmly grasped the most core semiconductor technology!
The rise of Huaxing Semiconductor has indeed affected the development of these semiconductor companies across the ocean!
To the point that now, Lu Haifeng has also heard some rumors about these countries across the ocean!
Of course, with the lessons learned from his previous life, he pays close attention to semiconductor chip manufacturing!
To this end, Huaxing Semiconductor and Huaxing Technology have respectively invested in some domestic semiconductor manufacturing companies to prevent unforeseen needs!
After all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Only by preparing everything can you avoid future worries!
At the same time, Huaxing Technology has also begun to develop in other areas!
After all, a company cannot rely solely on the mobile phone industry to fully develop!
Like Xiaomi and Huawei, they all have their own other businesses!
It is because these companies have other businesses that they have other sources of income!
Since Huaxing Technology entered the home appliance business last year, it has invested a lot in this field!
After all, the Hongmeng TOS under Huaxing Technology is not just a mobile phone system, it focuses on the Internet of Everything!
That is to say, the future system is not just a system on mobile phones, but also has other development directions!
Whether it is electrical appliances, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, all electrical aspects can use this Hongmeng TOS system!
It's just that now Huaxing Technology is facing a new enemy!
And this new enemy is Xiaomi, which also entered the smart home industry last year!
Xiaomi has very good financial support, plus Lei Jun has very strong connections!
To the point that now Xiaomi's smart home ecosystem has begun to gradually encroach on Huaxing Technology's Hongmeng TOS ecosystem!
This has made the senior management of Huaxing Technology feel tremendous pressure!
"Recently, Xiaomi's smart ecosystem has been doing very well!"
"To the point that our smart home business has declined by about 30% compared to last year!"
Inside the Huaxing Technology conference room, Lu Haifeng looked at the people from the smart home department and convened this meeting!
Smart home is Huaxing Technology's second largest business, second only to the mobile phone business!
In Lu Haifeng's view, this business is of great significance to the development of Huaxing Technology!
The most fundamental development of the Hongmeng TOS system under Huaxing Technology is the Internet of Everything!
Enabling mobile phones to connect with many pieces of furniture, making mobile phones an indispensable part of life!
"Xiaomi's Mijia Home has now officially entered the smart home industry!"
"And Huawei and other manufacturers have recently had ideas to enter the home furnishing industry!"
"This has a huge impact on our Huaxing Technology home furnishing business!"
Li Heng, as the head of the smart home department, hesitated slightly before stating the problems currently facing the smart home business!
Although Huaxing Technology took the lead in proposing the smart home development plan for the Internet of Everything!
However, other manufacturers also have considerable potential and a very broad user base!
Plus, Xiaomi entered the smart TV field very early!
This makes Xiaomi very comfortable in developing smart furniture!
In addition, Xiaomi has enough connections and funds!
It is also very easy for Xiaomi to take away a lot of market share from Huaxing Technology!
Huaxing Technology's initial market share in the smart home market was mainly due to the AI voice assistant, Xiao Tian!
Huaxing Technology relied on such a brand new concept to gradually expand in the smart home market!
However, other mobile phone manufacturers now have their own smart AI voice assistants!
Now that all manufacturers have been pulled to the same starting line, they are paying more attention to the product itself!
After all, smart homes are home appliances, and consumers are still concerned about the quality of home appliances!
And the partners chosen by Huaxing Technology, although the product quality is okay!
But it has not really reached the top technical level!
This is naturally a major flaw in Huaxing Technology's development of smart homes!
This flaw has also caused Huaxing Technology to gradually lose a large share of the market to other manufacturers after one year of smart home development!
"Now we must build our own brand of smart homes!"
"Otherwise, our smart home market will be taken away by other manufacturers!"
Lu Haifeng also knew that in order to develop the smart home market, he chose to compromise in some parts of the development!
Making some furniture and electrical appliance manufacturers without top-notch core technologies in the electrical appliance industry join the Hongmeng TOS smart home ecosystem!
Huaxing Technology initially considered the participation of these electrical appliance manufacturers as an advantage in order to promote the development of the smart home market!
But now, gradually, as the market continues to expand and supplement, it will eventually slowly turn into a disadvantage!
When you have enough market and the market is gradually becoming perfect, price will affect some consumers!
But innovation and technology are the most fundamental points affecting this development!
Huaxing Technology has considerable advantages in software, but cannot gain advantages in smart home hardware!
On the contrary, compared to Huaxing Technology's high-quality mobile phones, smart homes seem very lackluster!
After all, none of these smart home production factories are international brands, and they don't even reach the top level in China!
