After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 30 Product Definition of Children's Cognitive Assistive Robot
Gao Chenyu felt a little regretful. His plan of getting as deeply involved with Hao Cheng as possible had completely failed. He said so much but Hao Cheng didn't respond at all.

Although it can be considered a cooperation, it was only a business cooperation, and the distinction between what was right and what was wrong was very clear, so he did not get what he wanted.

However, it’s good to have a start. There is still a lot of time, so take it slow.

"You don't think there is only one kind of children's cognitive assistance robot, do you? There is a long way to go!" Hao Cheng also drew a big pie without a beginning or an end.

"Okay, let's do it first." But Gao Chenyu obviously wanted to eat the cake and nodded very solemnly.

……

Gao Chenyu had been a playboy since he was young and had not learned much, but he had also developed some abilities during his playfulness. For example, he could have fun and talk with everyone.

Even though the two of them didn't drink, after three or five rounds of food, Hao Cheng felt that their relationship had become much more familiar. He had to say that this was very powerful, at least Hao Cheng didn't have such ability.

"Is your family rich?" Hao Cheng asked this question after taking another bite of food.

"Ah!" Gao Chenyu didn't quite understand what Hao Cheng wanted to say, so he could only respond with an "ah".

"I don't mean anything else, it's just the literal meaning." Hao Cheng explained: "Recently, when defining and pricing products, I have always been confused about consumer concepts.

"For example, I am a very poor person. Even if I go to the supermarket to buy a box of toilet paper, I have to compare prices and calculate again and again to see which one is more cost-effective before buying it.

"What about the rich? When you pay for something, what do you consider more? For example, for the product we are talking about today, the large model robot for children's cognitive assistance, from which aspects should we define it?"

"Oh, this!" Gao Chenyu put down his chopsticks, thought for a while, and said, "I haven't thought about robots yet. Let me give you another example:

"For example, why did I buy that Wenjie M9? It was because a friend of mine bought one and boasted to me that his car could drive automatically and could drive from Linzhou to Kaizhou without touching the steering wheel. He was bragging to me, as if no one could afford it. I ordered one the next day."

"Emotional value." Hao Cheng nodded, thoughtfully.

"My dad's friends have bought more than a dozen M9s in the past few months. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Hao Cheng was asking sincerely, as he really couldn't understand the relevant things in ordinary places. If he asked Xiaosha this kind of question, even if he could explain the market very well, it would be difficult to analyze the purpose of each person when making a choice.

"It was because my dad drove my car to meet a client that day. The client was very surprised at first sight, and then we had a common topic.

"My dad was very proud at the time, saying that he just wanted to see how far technology has come. Although Xiaoyi is not perfect now, she is growing every day with him.

"Bullshit, that's not his car. He only drove it that one time before. He bought his own M9 later. Then he recommended it to everyone he met, as if he was a pioneer. Later, a circle was gradually formed."

Such a thing can bring common topics to people in the circle. Is this considered a social attribute?
Hao Cheng seemed to understand something.

The Wenjie M9 product is very strong, but relying solely on product strength is not enough to support a 50-level car to sell more than 50 per month and rank first in sales of more than for consecutive years.

"If you want to make a product popular, there are two ways. One is to make it extremely cheap and cost-effective. For example, Pinduoduo's market value exceeds that of Alibaba and JD.com.

"In addition, you need to provide something other than practical value. Whether it's a social circle or an emotion, you have to have a reason for people to pay for you."

"Oh, yes!" Gao Chenyu said, "There is also a third type, but it is very rare. I have almost never seen it, but there is hope.

"That is the ultimate product. Others can't help but want to use it. Just like the large-scale model robot for children's cognitive assistance based on the capabilities of our Xiaosha, parents of children can't help but buy it. If they don't buy it, they will fall behind."

Gao Chenyu was really convinced. In the past, good wine needs no bush. That was in the era of scarcity of materials and information, and a store could be popular just by word of mouth. But now, marketing is more important than strength, and there are too many things that have become popular completely by marketing without any quality.

Unless you are really as strong as Xiaosha, who has to use it whether you want to or not, and you can't get around it, otherwise you can't achieve this level of technical strength.

"My idea is that we should make this large-scale model robot for children, and the popular version should benefit the general public and be sold in large quantities." Hao Cheng thought about it and expressed his thoughts: "But we also need to have a high-priced version to make as much money as possible."

Hao Cheng half-jokingly said: "I heard that you rich people have too much money to spend and put it all in the bank. Now the bank can't lend out the money, and the wealth is not circulating.

"Wealth is not circulating, and the economy is not circulating, so the market is getting worse and worse. We have to squeeze as much money as possible from you rich people, and then make it flow and create more value."

“There is a way!”

"There can't be differences in functions, and education must be fair, at least in my case."

Gao Chenyu was about to say something when Hao Cheng stopped him and drew a line, which meant that functions must not be divided into different levels.

Especially for this type of education, especially children's education, it would be a sin to divide it into different levels.

"Then we can only work on the emotional value," Gao Chenyu suggested:
"It's like selling skins without adding attributes in the game. You have cooperation with Huawei... Huawei doesn't seem to be able to do that. If you can contact people from Tencent, maybe they will have more experience."

……

Just when Hao Cheng and Gao Chenyu were discussing how to define the product of children's robots, the outside world was in an uproar again.

Since the afternoon, Cao Song started the hot update of the career system after changing the developer account according to Hao Cheng's instructions.

Wave after wave, until now, everyone has obtained the first professional service that can be opened - legal service.

"Fuck, this is going to go to hell! I originally thought it was about the same level as Fa Xiaoyi, but who knew it was so professional! I just gave it my labor contract for review, and it actually helped me find loopholes in 16 articles."

"It's the same here. The company contracts are full of traps. For example, writing XA City as the work location is a complete trap.

"If the company wants to lay off employees, they can just move the company to the foot of Qinling Mountains without discussing it with you, because it won't leave Xi'an, and there's no need to change the contract. If you don't want to go, you can only resign. Therefore, the work location must be written in detail, at least to the district.

"Also, this non-compete agreement is invalid if there is no compensation. It is also illegal to pay it in the regular salary. I just found out about this today!"

"But our company also has this agreement, saying that the usual salary already includes compensation. My former colleague didn't receive compensation after leaving the company, so he thought the non-compete clause was not enforced, and was sued by the company. The first instance court ruled to compensate more than 400,000 yuan, and the case is being appealed now! Wait, let me ask Xiaosha what she thinks!"

……

"Is there any legal professional who can come out and tell me what this Xiaosha is like? Is the analysis correct and complete?"

"It's very accurate, much better than mine. Even better than our legal director. Xiaosha found several loopholes in the standard contract he drafted for the company."

An employee of a certain company said: "At this moment, he was sulking with his eyes wide open!"

"I'm afraid this isn't because he's sulking, but because he's afraid of losing his job?!" someone made such a pointed comment.
