    Once the nest smart thermostat was released, it immediately caused a sensation across North America and even Western Europe through continuous media reports and instigation.  ¡ó¡ý

    In terms of the use of air conditioning and electric heating facilities, North America and Western Europe are absolutely different from us Chinese and even people from most other countries.

    Take China as an example. Needless to say, heating is used for heating in winter in the north. Basically every room has it.

    But except for winter in the north, when it is the hottest and coldest time, we Chinese people still use air conditioners.

    How is it generally used?

    Of course, one air conditioner is used in each room, one in the living room, and one in the room, so that it can be turned off and used within the area at any time without wasting electricity.

    Only a small number of families will install central air conditioning at home. To put it bluntly, although this kind of central air conditioning includes all rooms and living rooms, the cooling and heating effects will not be fast and effective.  Secondly, the load on the circuit is very heavy and the power consumption is very large, which is not practical at all.

    But people in the United States and Western Europe are different. Except for the poor who live in low-cost apartments, basically every household is equipped with central air conditioning or electric heating equipment.

    As long as they are at home, as long as the weather is hot or cold, they are all turned on, sometimes 24 hours a day.

    We can all imagine what a huge waste of resources this is.

    It¡¯s shameless that they still have the nerve to say that China has too many people and consumes too many resources.

    Of course, it¡¯s not that Americans don¡¯t know how to save, but they didn¡¯t have the means to save before¡ªwell, their brains are really short of energy. Couldn¡¯t you just turn on the air conditioner less?

    Now that the nest smart thermostat is out, it not only has a dazzling appearance and intelligent control, but also saves people about 20% of their electricity and heating bills every year.  This is completely the best of both worlds!

    People find it very interesting, and the government has grasped its connotation even more, which is to save energy!

    To be honest, today¡¯s European and American countries, especially most developed countries in Europe, have basically become a country of lazy people.  They are so lazy that they act like uncles, and the country's finances are almost completely ruined by them.

    ¡° Allowing these people to save some energy and consume less resources is a great thing for both the country¡¯s finances and the green and clean direction of future national development.

    Therefore, on the same day, an official from the U.S. Department of Energy stood up and said that although the government has not yet formulated measures, he will definitely buy a Nest smart thermostat personally.  And actively promote the federal government to formulate a bill to support the development of nextlabs company and provide subsidies for the promotion of Nest smart thermostat.

    Following closely behind the United States is Canada. The lifestyle of this country is basically the same as that of the United States, so the officials in charge of their environmental affairs department directly announced that Canada is willing to open a green channel for nest smart thermostats, including tax exemptions, policy support, etc.  , allowing them to better develop in Canada.

    at the same time.  Officials from the Ministry of Interior of the United Kingdom and Germany also stated that they are very much looking forward to the arrival of Nest smart thermostat in their countries.  Contribute actively to energy conservation, emission reduction and green living in both countries.

    After all this hard work, people¡¯s interest in the Nest smart thermostat has greatly increased, and they want to buy it to see if it is as magical as the legend.

    The price of Nest smart thermostat is not cheap. Xiao Qi priced it at US$288, which is about 12% more expensive than the US$250 when it was first launched in the previous life.

    But it¡¯s worth the money.

    Because Xiao Qi has not only made a level that surpasses the first generation of Nest smart thermostat.  And it also uses some of the skills of Nest smart thermostat's mortal enemy Lyric.

    Lyric products were originally ready for sale in 2014, but many of their details were revealed in 2013, which was convenient for Xiao Qi to use.

    Now that there is no shadow on Lyc, Xiao Qi feels at ease.

    On the day of the launch, Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart supermarkets were online.  Nest smart thermostat sold 30,000 units, and the sales volume the next day reached 80,000 units. The number of inquiries and reservations on the Internet has skyrocketed.

    Nextlabs¡¯ spot inventory is in short supply, and it has greatly exceeded the expectations of the company¡¯s senior management.

    Xiao Qi was also shocked, because one year after its release, the previous Nest smart thermostat only maintained a monthly shipment volume of 40,000 to 50,000. As a result, in just two days, the sales volume of the Nest smart thermostat was equivalent to that of the original Nest smart thermostat.  The sales volume reached 3 months after the device was released.

    Originally, Xiao Qi was still thinking about whether he should wait for a while and wait for the government to fully provide subsidies before the nest smart thermostat would slowly become popular - you know, it was like this in the previous life?If the U.S. government is not the first to subsidize every user who buys a Nest smart thermostat, God knows how long it will take for the Nest smart thermostat to become popular.

    However, when I thought about it, the current good situation did not fall from the sky.

    First of all, with Xiao Qi¡¯s diagrams and concept reminders, as well as Xiao Qi¡¯s various algorithm ideas, the nest smart thermostat has not taken any detours from the beginning.

    Then Xiao Qi also gave Fadel and Rogers the most generous R&D funds. Whatever professional equipment they wanted, Xiao Qi approved the funds without hesitation. Whatever professional talents they wanted, Xiao Qi also worked hard to recruit them with high salaries. They can be said to be elite soldiers.  Strong generals gathered together.

    But even so, almost a year and a half has passed since the concept was proposed, and nextlabs has just launched its first smart product, which shows how serious and professional they are about the nest smart thermostat.

    How could a product made with such excellence not be successful?

    For this reason, there is absolutely no problem for the investment department of Standard Chartered Bank to give nextlabs a valuation of US$1 billion.

    In fact, the valuation given by HSBC in the second company has exceeded US$1.5 billion.

    But these have nothing to do with Xiao Qi.

    Nextlabs is a very core component of Xiao Qi¡¯s future smart home and even life. In such a valuable company, Xiao Qi will not only not sell his shares, but also the shares of Fadell and Rogers will continue to be diluted. In the end, the management  It can only hold up to 5% of the shares, and the rest will be held by Xiao Foundation member companies.

    Therefore, no matter how high the external valuation is, even if it reaches 10 billion US dollars or 100 billion US dollars, it is impossible to buy NextLabs shares.

    Of course, a nest smart thermostat cannot be called a smart home life.

    Another protect smoke alarm is also built based on intelligence. It is also different from traditional smoke alarms and is very dazzling and colorful.

    The protect smoke alarm is even more versatile than the nest smart thermostat.

    Because nest smart thermostats can basically only be used in homes, or small restaurants, etc., they cannot be used in large companies, business buildings, etc. If you are saving energy and reducing emissions in these places, then it will definitely  You will be scolded to death, and many people even think that you are depriving your employees of their treatment because you have no money.

    When it comes to face, it¡¯s not just Chinese people, it¡¯s the same for people everywhere in the world. The only difference is whether they have the ability to want face.

    But the protect smoke alarm is different. It can be used everywhere, whether it is at home or in the office, whether in an office building or a shopping mall, or even on a ship.

    The protect smoke alarm has been developed for a long time, and the product has been produced and stocked together with the Nest smart thermostat. However, releasing two products at the same time involves a lot of energy, which is not in line with Fadel's principle of concentration, so we have to wait until the Nest smart thermostat  After the sales and feedback are good, it will be released in a few months.

    When it comes to this specific operation, Fadel is an expert, so Xiao Qi will naturally not interfere.

    However, in terms of production, Xiao Qi gave Fadel a greeting and put the Nest smart thermostat and Protect smoke alarm in the winter hall for production from the beginning, still choosing the foundry.

    The factory was not placed in Chengdu but in Sichuan. When Zhang Zhanzhao was chatting during the New Year, he even half-complained about Xiao Qi.

    But Xiao Xu didn¡¯t care much. On the one hand, he was not a stingy person to begin with. On the other hand, Xiao Qi also told him that if all the factories were placed in Shuchuan, they would undoubtedly attract hatred.

    ??Benefits cannot be shared with everyone, but must also be shared with some people, so that you can have reliable friends.

    That¡¯s why Xiao Qi has cloud computing and cloud storage centers and circuit board factories in the East, as well as the factories of Mingxing Electronics and Yinhuang Electronics in Nanwan and Dongguan, etc.

    This time, the Nest smart thermostat and Protect smoke alarm were produced in the winter hall, mainly because of the industrial technology advantages and the most detailed industrial supporting facilities there.

    After the European and American markets are fully opened, the annual shipment volume of Nest smart thermostats will be about 3 million units, and the annual shipment volume of Protect smoke alarms will be about 5 million units. The number of workers required is not large, but the additional output value is good.

    Also because Xiao Qi¡¯s OEM fees have always been very high. When we were discussing cooperation at the Winter Pavilion last year, Baodao and Mainland OEMs were competing with each other. Even Guo Taiming, Yan Chenglong and Li Xiaochao got involved.  Come in.

    It can also be seen from this that Fairy Company has already become famous and has become a commissioned manufacturer supported and loved by everyone!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, Xiao??Better updates faster!
