Chapter 339 Business is bad, boss is hiring.
Here, Shen Fei looked at the camera again, his eyes filled with disdain for all his peers.
"Those who say we're just creating hype should go and experience it for themselves at our physical stores."
Then, glancing at the back, he asked, "Have our physical stores started stocking the shelves yet?"
"Boss, don't worry, we've already started stocking the shelves. The renovation and upgrades of some flagship stores are nearing completion, and there will be a dedicated showroom for everyone to visit and experience."
Shen Fei nodded, then looked at the big screen again: "We are serious about technology and user experience."
We've been working on smart home technology for four years, and there's been no news about it during those four years. Why did we do that? Because we're not just making things look fancy; we're developing technology that truly solves user pain points.
If making technology solid and business simple is considered disrupting the market, then this industry should be disrupted anyway.
Since our competitors are so welcoming, I'll give everyone a surprise at the press conference.
These words thoroughly excited the viewers who were constantly flooding the screen with comments.
"Damn, I didn't know there were so many sensors behind the one-click preservation function. I thought it was just a regular button."
"I understand. The real fools use technology to hide complexity, rather than cutting out functionality."
Is the current approach in the home appliance industry truly stagnant?
"I was misled into thinking that the transmission was complicated, but now I realize that they don't even require an account to be linked, just scanning a QR code is all it takes."
"Those people must be having trouble sleeping now, since the sound transmission function is too simple, and the technology is not even in the same league."
That afternoon, Transsion released another comparison video: on one side was a smart air conditioner from a traditional brand, and the binding process required registering an account, connecting to WiFi, entering a password, and authorizing permissions, which took 5 minutes to connect.
If there's a password error or a system malfunction, it might take even longer.
On the other side is a Transsion air conditioner, which connects directly by scanning a code and synchronizes in 2 seconds. The elderly can use it directly by holding the remote control or saying "comfort mode".
The air conditioner used for comparison is naturally from a certain company; although the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's live stream was impressive, it still...
The video ends with the text: "The 'foolproof' aspect of technology is not ignorance, but insensitivity."
The next morning, the situation reversed again. Although the bloggers who had previously stirred up trouble were still doing so, the comments section was noticeably quieter.
Furthermore, netizens dug up and compared Dong Mingzhe's statement, revealing that Dong Mingzhu had added another sentence: "True technology is technology that you can't even feel its existence."
It can only be said that Dong Mingzhu's concept has been realized by Transsion.
Shen Fei looked at the online comments and a cold smile appeared on his lips. Neither smear articles nor slander from his peers mattered. They were nothing in the face of real technology.
At the same time, the bloggers from the Transmission System also made their move again.
Rice Review also reposted a message: "I watched Mr. Shen's live stream yesterday, and I want to say that the technology of Transsion is better than everyone imagined."
For example, its air conditioner cools down much faster than my Daikin air conditioner, and it's also quieter.
I asked a staff member and they said the compressor was developed in-house, not purchased.
The fact that Transsion can even develop its own compressors speaks volumes.
With other bloggers joining in, the comment section became lively once again.
After reading the Weibo post, Shen Fei put away his phone and said to Liu Fang, Li Qing, and the others sitting next to him, "Let's go to Guangming District."
The secretary held a schedule in her hand, which listed several items to be reviewed that day.
"The first stop is the smart home industrial park in Guangming New District, the second stop is the air conditioner R&D center, and the third stop is the smart speaker production line."
The car drove north from headquarters and soon arrived at the factory and construction site.
"Boss, we've arrived." The driver stopped the car.
Shen Fei pushed open the car door, and a wave of heat hit him.
In July, the ground temperature was still at least 40 degrees Celsius, and the cement ground on the construction site reflected a blinding white light.
In the distance, the pile driver was still roaring, the tower crane was slowly rotating in the air, and the workers wearing safety helmets were moving around on the scaffolding.
At least safety has been achieved.
A huge sign stands at the entrance of the construction site, displaying renderings of Pure Sound Home and a project schedule. Project manager Lao Zhou is already waiting at the door.
He was wearing dirty clothes, a safety helmet on his head, and holding a stack of blueprints in his hand.
"President Shen, welcome to visit us."
Chief Engineer Zhou quickly came forward, after all, this big spender was really generous with the money. In all his years in the industry, even now, during the peak of the civil engineering sector, he had never had such a smooth experience.
After all, as long as the progress is on track, the money will arrive immediately without any need to urge them.
Moreover, all kinds of subsidies arrived on time. As expected, big companies, or rather, big companies with money, are reliable.
"How's the progress?"
Shen Fei shook hands with him briefly, and then asked.
Old Zhou opened the blueprints, which were covered with dense annotations.
"The main structure of the first phase of the factory building has been completed."
The air conditioner factory will be able to deliver equipment by the end of September and complete trial production by the end of November. The refrigerator factory will be a little slower, delivering equipment in January next year and starting trial production in March.
The laundry factory operates in tandem with the refrigerator factory.
"Can we move it earlier?"
Old Zhou scratched his head.
"Mr. Shen, we're already working two shifts. Unless we switch to a three-shift system from home, it's not cost-effective."
"Forget about money, quality comes first, speed comes second, and we'll do it as quickly as possible."
We'll start with three shifts to ensure the workers' safety.
Chief Engineer Zhou nodded, and Shen Fei put on a safety helmet and walked into the construction site, with Liu Fang and Lao Zhou following behind.
The road underfoot was still quite bumpy and uneven.
However, the site management was indeed top-notch, with no broken bricks scattered everywhere.
Steel bars are everywhere, though.
As Lao Zhou walked, he introduced everything from the main structure to the functional areas. Shen Fei listened attentively and asked a few questions from time to time.
Is the power supply capacity sufficient? Are there enough logistics channels?
How will employee dormitories be arranged?
Old Zhou answered these questions carefully.
Shenfei took some photos in front of the first phase of the staff dormitory.
The reinforced concrete framework has just taken shape, the shadow of the tower crane is cast on the ground, and the workers are still busy.
He posted the photos on Weibo: "The Transsion Smart Home employee factory is under construction, so let's also act as recruiters and start recruiting ahead of time."
Factory direct recruitment, meals and accommodation provided, starting salary 6000 RMB per month! [No tricks]
"Monthly salary of 6000, including room and board. Mr. Chen's Weibo post should be straightforward. I'll pack my bags now, buy a standing ticket to Shenzhen. Mr. Shen, please save me a seat."
"Holy crap, is it that intense? The factory isn't even finished building yet, and they're already hiring?"
"The pay for tightening screws is really good, but does HR really listen to what General Manager Shen says? [doge emoji]"
