Global Monopoly of Technology

32-year-old Li Liangpeng is an engineer under Ruitao Technology Co., Ltd. The company he works for is a technology research and development company focusing on eye detection systems and a holding subsidiary invested by the Cote d'Azur Strategic Investment Department. He is also half of Luo Sheng's staff.

Ruitao Technology is one of the first companies listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, and it has been listed for a year and a month now.

Li Liangpeng interned at Ruitao Technology when he was a sophomore. At that time, the company had just been founded, and the interns were cheap and able to work. Because he did a good job during the internship, Ruitao Technology still maintained frequent communication with him when he returned to school to study. .

Immediately after graduation, he was recruited and turned into a regular. Compared with other fresh graduates, the job search process has been omitted. Today, Li Liangpeng has worked in this company for seven years.

As a child from a rural family, Ruitao Technology also completely changed his destiny, giving him a foothold in a first-tier city like Pengcheng.

In the past few days, Li Liangpeng sold his shares of Ruitao Technology and decided to use the funds to transform and upgrade the house he just bought in Pengcheng to realize a real smart home life. He is also an engineer. pursuit.

The idea of ​​making home life smart has been around for a long time, but the reason why he has not put the idea into practice is that home appliances make him feel a lot of pain. Except for the family bucket of the Côte d’Azur, he is not interested in other brands’ products. The whole series of products are not satisfied, because no one brand manufacturer can make all the categories to the extreme.

The air conditioner is the best made by this manufacturer, and the refrigerator is the best made by the other manufacturer, but the underlying agreements between manufacturers are not compatible, which means that if you buy a brand of products, you need to install an APP.

This was something Li Liangpeng couldn't bear.

He really can't force himself to install N home appliance APPs in his mobile phone, and the ecology of those home appliance manufacturers is bad.

Until recently, Li Liangpeng learned about the cooperation between Cote d'Azur and major manufacturers in the home appliance industry, and after learning about it, he decisively launched the long-awaited home upgrade plan.

Today, Li Liangpeng transferred the 3 million yuan in his securities account to the bank account, and sold all the Ruitao Technology shares he held yesterday, a total of 50,000 shares.

These 50,000 shares are the option shares that Li Liangpeng obtained at the then exercise price in 2015. As an early employee of the company, he also obtained the qualification for option allotment.

In 2015, Li Liangpeng bought the entire quota of 50,000 shares at the exercise price of 0.446 yuan per share. At that time, he only spent 22,300 yuan, which was equivalent to his two months' salary at that time.

Now Ruitao Technology's share price has risen to 59.86 yuan per share, the company's total market value has risen from more than 4 billion on the issue date to 65.853 billion, and the secondary market has doubled by 15 times, and Li Liangpeng's 50,000 shares are one The original stock in the primary market, the cost price is the same as that of toilet paper, which has doubled by as much as 135.5 times.

22,300 yuan five years ago has become 3 million yuan today.

However, he is not a professional investor. After selling the stock in his hand, the subsequent ups and downs will not matter to him.

He doesn't plan to buy stocks again. Anyway, Ruitao Technology doesn't pay dividends at all, and it has been held without dividends. If it doesn't cash out, even if it rises above the sky, it's just paper wealth.

Now I have an annual salary of 700,000 yuan in Ruitao Technology. Although it is not as crazy as the Côte d’Azur, the 3 million yuan from the allocated option stocks is superimposed on the income, and these seven years can be regarded as an annual salary of one million yuan. above.

At least in the years of Ruitao Technology's struggle, he can afford to buy a house in Pengcheng, and he has a place to stand. The existing income is not too much pressure compared to the monthly payment, and the company's other benefits are also quite good. , I am very satisfied with my current life.

After cashing out the stock, Li Liangpeng first spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to book a big white robot.

But it won't be delivered until the end of the year,

The money has to pay a deposit of 200,000 in advance. If you buy the spot by the end of the year, it may not be in stock. The foreign Sequoia pandemic is not slowing down, and there is no shortage of money anyway.

Then it was replaced with a blue pure electric car, the latest driverless car, all the procedures were completed about 300,000, and the original oil-burning car was directly thrown into the second-hand car market.

Then, the virtual brain machine was arranged, including the rest of the Cote d'Azur family barrels that were not arranged, adding up to another 100,000 oceans gone.

Finally, it is the configuration of home appliances. Air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators and other home appliances are equipped with the top brands. After all, big brands are trustworthy.

In the end of the day, Li Liangpeng consumed millions of dollars like crazy, and today he felt just one word - cool!

The feeling of spending money is so wonderful~

In the following days, Li Liangpeng's home began to undergo a comprehensive renovation. Every day, businesses sent large appliances to the home for installation.

...

After completing the upgrade in about a week, Li Liangpeng moved into a new home and started a new smart home life.

I came home from get off work today, opened the door and entered the house, and the lights were automatically turned on. The living room was suddenly brightened, and then the curtains were automatically opened.

There is an astronomical telescope next to it, but in a metropolis like Pengcheng, an astronomical telescope by the window seems to be unable to see a few stars, and it is impossible to think about the universe.

Li Liangpeng threw his briefcase aside and went to the bathroom. On the way, the lights were automatically turned on and off. The faucet and the like have smart sensors. The water can be discharged when the hand is stretched out. The water temperature can be adjusted directly through voice commands. How much water temperature , the intelligent center can adjust the temperature of the water heater.

It has to be said that the progress of science and technology is largely driven by the laziness of people.

After leaving the bathroom, Li Liangpeng returned to the living room. A disc-shaped sweeping robot in the corner recognized the footprints and dirt on the living room floor by scanning the image.

The sweeping robot made a grunting sound, then left its standby charging slot in a cute manner, and began to clean up the dirt in the living room. After cleaning up and patrolling around, it returned to the corner to continue standby.

Li Liangpeng took a bottle of Happy Water and took a few sips, then turned on his laptop to learn more about the smart central service of the Cote d'Azur.

"As expected of a technology giant leading the trend of the times, I am still weak compared to the engineers on the Riviera..." Li Liangpeng couldn't help but sigh.

He found that this intelligent center can be integrated into the entire center system by installing a set of small modules on any hardware device, and the computing power of the entire intelligent center can be invoked, and the data transmission will fly around in the cloud.

It is worth mentioning that the lights in Li Liangpeng's house are basically a light guide Li-Fi signal transceiver.

Its computing resources can come from smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Next year, when Dabai Robot arrives, it can also provide computing resources. Then, complex functions can be implemented on major devices, and operations are performed by a unified intelligent center. All smart home appliances.

Whether it is an air conditioner, refrigerator, sweeping robot, washing machine, etc., only a piece of open source code can be added, and the different capabilities of different devices can be shared through distributed technology.

As major home appliance manufacturers have opened up the underlying protocols to be compatible with the Côte d'Azur ecosystem, more and more families in China have begun to upgrade their home life intelligently, especially the post-890s generation, who are more likely to accept modern technological life.

Most families are not as wealthy as Li Liangpeng, but Cote d'Azur's intervention this time has opened up the ecological integration of the whole industry, which has greatly reduced the cost of people's pursuit of smart home life.

There is no way to upgrade all at once like the wayward Li Liangpeng, but you can do it slowly without worrying about future incompatibility.

Many consumers with limited financial resources can choose to deploy one by one without any worries. This month, they can buy a washing machine first, and next month they can upgrade the refrigerator, air and sky, etc., and they will be completed gradually.

And you can configure any brand you like, whether it is a fan of Gurley Electric or a fan of Midea Group.

With the passage of time, after a month, manufacturers in the home appliance industry called it too fragrant.

Because of the significant increase in sales after connecting to the Côte d'Azur ecosystem, especially the big three white goods, the data is more obvious because of their large size.

You know, today's consumers are not as easy to fool as they used to be. Major manufacturers do everything they can to stimulate consumption, and some bosses even live broadcast and bring goods in person.

But the effect is so-so.

Today’s Cote d’Azur is unusual when it first makes a move. After opening up the entire smart home appliance ecosystem, it gives consumers a reason to upgrade. In addition to reducing the cost of upgrading smart home life, consumers are naturally willing to pay for a cost-effective and high-quality life. .

The home appliance industry has profited, and the Cote d'Azur has expanded its ecosystem and enriched the species of the entire ecosystem. Of course, the most valuable thing is user data, especially the commercial value mining of consumption data. Big data is the most important thing in the world today. valuable things.
