~.-~     Although Zhao Jianwu must first conduct input-output ratio analysis when establishing a project to develop a product, Zhao Jianwu believes that there is no need for this project today. This is not a commercial decision, but an industrial rescue plan. This time, it is not just about investing in supporting the development of the toy industry, but the important thing is to restore the self-hematopoiesis function of the toy industry through this thing {/// Uploaded by book friends}

If most toys become low-end and artificial and quantity-based, then most companies will die in this wave. However, if some toy manufacturers can move to the high-end and some to the mid-range, forming a high-middle-end industrial layout, perhaps most of them can survive. With different levels of toy products, they will naturally be able to make the toy cake bigger, instead of being suffocated to death in a small market space.

So this time, SAL's technology was concentrated and simplified into a platform module to transfusion blood for the toy industry. In order to create this platform and promote it, it is estimated that it will cost more than a few hundred million yuan. After all, R&D and promotion costs will cost money.

Fortunately, Zhao Jianwu and Cai Siqiang reached a consensus through a few words. This is a very meaningful thing. In the long run, if the platform is cost-effective, SAL will not pay too much. After all, if the toy industry can be successfully upgraded and developed, it can still feed back to the platform. The platform price can be increased to a low-profit guaranteed state.

You should know that if this platform is successful and its sales can reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, then the amortization of R&D expenses for this platform will not be too high. For Saal, if these hundreds of millions are directly invested in the toy industry, it will probably be flooded without even a single bubble. However, investment in acting as the leader in technological improvement may play a role in making a big move.

Since the two people have such a consensus, the rest of the work is easy to handle. If you need money and R&D resources, Zhao Jianwu can mobilize it at any time. He organized a sophisticated R&D team and quickly simplified and combined the current technology and hardware into a micro system. These technologies are ready-made. They are simplified and reduced from the mobile phone motherboard to a board as small as ten square centimeters. According to Cai Siqiang's opinion, this micro system is called Ark One, which is the meaning of Noah's Ark to save it.

Although the name Ark One is a bit cliché, when the thing is taken out, it has a built-in Gemini2 core and 1gb memory, which can run the SAL's own embedded system smoothly, with a simplified version of intelligent voice recognition SDK and artificial intelligence SDK. After the project team redeveloped a demonstration sample based on the robot dog, everyone suddenly found that this Ark One seemed to be unexpectedly powerful when used on toys.

The robot dog with the nickname Xiao Hei can not only understand human instructions to complete various cute movements, but also make happy or sad calls based on the owner's criticism or praise. The recognition system can also have a simple self-learning function to identify people and voices that often appear. Compared with a real dog, this Xiao Hei is not bad at all.

The most important thing is that Zhao Jianwu's team has achieved the production cost of Ark 1 to $25. Among them, the most expensive one is the gemini2 chip, with a factory price of $15, accounting for most of the cost, while the storage and peripheral connection interfaces required for the operation of the system are another half of the cost.

After this platform was launched to toy manufacturers through sal, it immediately aroused the enthusiasm of toy manufacturers. When everyone was eager to find a way out, facing this level of toy intelligent platform that emerged, the top 20 toy manufacturers in China were immediately attracted by the powerful functions of Ark One, and they all stated that they would use this platform to launch various intelligent toys.

They are not as imaginative as Zhao Jianwu's team, and they can only copy a imitation product like Xiao Hei. Instead, based on their accumulation in the industry, they began to upgrade their original products. Toy racing manufacturers intelligently upgrade their toy racing cars and successfully realized the talkable cars in Toy Story more than ten years ago

Learning toy manufacturers are very good at finding a treasure. They use this platform to develop robot parrots that can answer 100,000 whys, and can be used as English dialogue and practice teachers' larks and other high-end intelligent learning and entertainment dual-purpose high-end toys;

Toy manufacturers relying on animation products have found that they can now produce virtual characters that have all kinds of interesting conversations like characters in animation works...

Ark One sets the wave of upgrading the toy industry, and creative smart toy products are emerging one after another.

Major manufacturers who have been struggling in the quagmire of low-end products suddenly discovered that there is also the continent of Ark 1 in the world, and they are holding on like life-saving straws. At this moment of crisis, Ark 1 is like a beacon, illuminating a golden road to achieve product upgrades.

Since most toy manufacturers did not accumulate much in software research and development before, although the development based on the Ark One platform is relatively simple, there are still a lot of problems for toy manufacturers that need to be supported and solved by sal, because everyone has no experience in the development of high value-added smart toys, otherwise they would not have fallen to this point today.

So after the first batch of 10,000 sets of Ark One, which were used as evaluation versions and research and development preview versions, was robbed and empty, the toy manufacturer put forward a large number of technical assistance requirements to the sal company. At the Ark One product launch conference, Zhao Jianwu personally promised to help the toy manufacturers use this platform, so everyone is honest and unceremonious to come to the door for advice.

Zhao Jianwu expected this situation and specially mobilized capable people to start a training course based on Ark 1 R&D technology, preparing to solve the problem of the development of major toy manufacturers' developers for Ark 1 technology. However, Zhao Jianwu did not expect that toy manufacturers' desire for Ark 1 technology was so strong. The number of people who registered for the first Ark 1 R&D training course of SAL exceeded 3,000 in one fell swoop.

Any toy manufacturer with some eyesight has seen that the future wave of intelligent toys has started with Ark One. If you cannot stand a good position in this wave, then the most abundant piece of fat in the toy market in the future will not have its own share.

In this case, toy manufacturers have tried their best to seize the best opportunity of upgrading. Although so many manufacturers have obviously flocked to enter the Ark One R&D platform, whether it is Cai Siqiang or Zhao Jianwu, they are not ready to control it artificially.

The strong are always born in the survival of the fittest. Ark One is so popular, which is a good thing for SAL. It fully demonstrates that the two people’s ideas were correct before. This path will become wider and wider as more people go, especially learning toys that combine education and entertainment. After being launched in the Chinese market, it will obviously open up a market.

For young children, this kind of educational and entertaining toy is easy for them to accept. Therefore, the launch of Ark One has greatly expanded the market and ideas of the domestic toy industry.

Inadvertently, Cai Siqiang and Zhao Jianwu's rescue plan achieved unexpected results
