Chapter 1,82 Don't put the cart before the horse

Since Huabao can develop such a product, it is also possible to be the first brand of Huaxia air conditioners.

According to Dong Xiaolan's idea, in order not to lag behind others, Geli should now start to quickly shift the focus of scientific research to photocatalysts.

"Mr. Chen, do you think this is OK?"

Dong Xiaolan asked.

"Mr. Dong, the focus of R&D does not need to be shifted at all!"

After hearing her proposal, Chen Jianghai directly rejected it.

"Mr. Chen, why?"

Dong Xiaolan said she could not understand at all.

In my impression, Qiu Hai, led by Chen Jianghai, has always been at the forefront of R&D and innovation.

But why did he refuse when he arrived at Gree?

Chen Jianghai smiled and asked, "Mr. Dong, this new product is just what they said. Have you seen the real thing?"

This question made Dong Xiaolan a little speechless for a while.

After receiving the news, Dong Xiaolan hurriedly reported to Chen Jianghai.

As for the authenticity of the news, I did not go into delving into it.

In Dong Xiaolan's opinion, this is news in the newspaper, how can this be fake?

I can only say that Dong Xiaolan is still too simple now and does not know the despicable means used by some bad companies in business competition.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"

Dong Xiaolan asked in confusion.

Chen Jianghai said lightly: "It's literal, it may be just a smoke bomb."

Dong Xiaolan also understood at this time, but she was still a little worried.

After all, Chen Jianghai should be just a guess.

"Mr. Chen, why don't we consider conducting research on this topic?"

Dong Xiaolan followed suit and suggested.

She thought that since someone proposed this technique, it would be normal for Geli to follow suit.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

Besides, this technology sounds quite advanced, and there is no reason why others have Gree but not.

Chen Jianghai said slowly: "Research can be studied, but it does not have to be a key project."

"Because with current technology, it's too difficult to make a breakthrough. If you put all your energy on it, you'll put the cart before the horse."

Dong Xiaolan nodded and replied, "Okay, Mr. Chen, I know what to do."

After putting down the phone, Chen Jianghai's mouth curled slightly.

The domestic electrical appliance market is getting more and more fun.

This so-called photocatalyst air conditioner is actually a gimmick.

It is nothing more than installing a filter with activated carbon on the filter.

After the activated carbon becomes wet, take it out and bask in the sun and you can continue to use it.

The cost of this network is less than one yuan, but it is promoted as a photocatalyst and has been enthusiastically sought after by consumers. It can only be said to be very ridiculous.

As for why this happens, it is because home appliance companies are now building price wars.

On the technical level, except Qiu Ocean, everything else is the same.

If the price war reaches a certain level, it will definitely stop.

The ultimate goal of these companies to reduce prices is to make money, not to lose money.

Reducing to the cost warning line is their bottom line.

At this time, some people start to have bad ideas.

If a company can innovate in technology, it will be more competitive than other brands.

With this idea, many companies will start round after round of concept wars with technological innovation as a gimmick at this time.

Among them, this photocatalyst air conditioner is one of the famous examples.

Similar to this, there are sterile refrigerators, digital color TVs, etc., which are all gimmicks.

After the concept of sterile refrigerators came out, they said it was a sign of the green era of refrigerators.

In fact, it is to inject some medicine into the plastic parts of the refrigerator, which costs less than ten yuan.

With this technical concept, they can increase the overall price of the refrigerator by about 200 yuan.

There are other patented products that are circular three-dimensional air conditioners that are said to be large enterprises investing more than 100 million yuan in air conditioning research and development.

In fact, it just installed a timer on Fengye to make it change up and down, left and right at regular intervals.

With these conceptual and simple technologies, these companies did make a lot of money in the early stages.

But there is no airtight wall in the world, and these things are always used to buy them home.

As soon as it is used, the feet will be exposed directly.

Consumers discovered problems as soon as they were used, so there is no need to say more about the result.

These things may now be felt that they will only appear in small companies.

In fact, the situations of those large domestic companies are similar.

Nowadays, the best home appliance companies in China have not made any significant breakthroughs in core technologies and are still subject to foreign companies.

Many large companies even want to work hard on this, but are restricted by the overall environment.

This is what is called bad money driving good money. In the end, large companies with ideals can only join in with them and be in harmony with them.

Among them, Haier's sweet potato washing machine is a very classic and famous example.

One time, Zhang Ruiming went to the rural areas of Sichuan Province for an inspection.

He found that the drain pipes of the washing machine used by local farmers were often blocked by mud.

After asking, he realized that the washing machine bought by the farmers was also used to wash sweet potatoes while washing clothes.

Now it sounds like this, it's a bit magical.

But in that era, it was a real thing.

After Zhang Ruiming learned about this situation, he went back to talk to the staff of the scientific research institute.

Farmers use our washing machine to wash sweet potatoes and block the drain pipes. Can they find a way to solve this problem?

A young man from the research institute told Zhang Ruiming that the washing machine is used to wash clothes, how can it be used to wash sweet potatoes?

However, Zhang Ruiming said that farmers have provided us with a very important information now.

This information cannot be bought with money. What you need to do now is to develop a washing machine that can wash sweet potatoes.

When it is put into the market, the sales volume will definitely not be bad.

After receiving this task, the R&D department also brainstormed and took only one month to develop the world's first sweet potato washing machine.

In fact, the solution is very simple. The researchers installed two drain pipes on the washing machine.

One is thicker and the other is thinner. Use thicker when washing sweet potatoes, and use thinner when washing clothes.

Later, Haier developed a washing machine for washing lobsters and a washing machine for making ghee according to the needs of consumers.

Logically speaking, this sounds very funny, but Haier is really engaged in research and development.

A product must be able to solve customer problems, which is also a direction of research and development.

Unfortunately, Haier's innovative spirit has not been continued.

During those days, Haier's sweet potato washing machine was an innovative story that the media talked about, and was even written into university textbooks.
