Chapter 106 The final data on the first day of the launch is released
"Xiaoyuan Robot will be officially opened for pre-order on October 5, which is the day after tomorrow."
On the stage, Lu An announced the launch date of the product. The press conference has also come to an end, and it officially ended ten minutes later.
However, the fermentation has just begun. Reporters from various media outlets rushed to report immediately after the press conference.
· Yuanjie Intelligent Control and Xiaoyuan Robot quickly shot to the top of the hot search list that day without any suspense, causing heated discussions and controversies across the Internet. People from all walks of life came up with various interpretations, and the popularity continued to soar.
[One robot is equal to two houses in my hometown? It would be more cost-effective to hire a nanny. ]
[The technology is truly outstanding! This isn't bad, it's like a science fiction film brought to reality. But the price is really discouraging! The price is a whopping 788,800. Is Metaverse Intelligent Control going to first prove itself by producing a sky-high-priced benchmark product, and then slowly decentralize its technology? ]
[I’d better wait for the youth version! ]
[A robot that is in your home around the clock and can see, hear, touch, and even "smell"? No matter how nice the privacy protection of this robot is, it still doesn’t stop my back from getting cold! The massive household data it collects may be worth far more than 788,800! Who will protect user data from misuse? ]
[This is for laughs upstairs. ]
[Seeing it respond so quickly to catch a fallen person, my heart was instantly moved! If you have elderly and children at home, having a robot like this is really useful. But 788,800...forget it, I'd rather grow a few more pairs of eyes and snacks. I hope the technology will become more popular and the price will drop soon. ]
[I just want to know what the fried asparagus with shrimps it makes tastes like? Can I order takeout? Use Xiao Yuan to open a robot restaurant. I can't afford a robot worth 788,800 yuan. Let's try the Robot Craftsmanship Headquarters for 78.88 yuan... (Shiba Inu.jpg)]
[Top nursing homes and rich people who are not short of money should buy it. The refined care for the disabled and demented elderly has great advantages. If it can achieve the level of press conference demonstration, 788,800 may not be expensive for them. ]
[But this has exacerbated the inequality of pension resources, and the technological dividends are only harvested by the top. ]
…
The release of Xiaoyuan Robot caused a huge sensation both inside and outside the industry, and quickly broke out of the industry.
His stunning technical performance has won widespread praise. It is indeed difficult to find a black spot, and it has also established Metaverse Intelligent Control's leading position in the field of humanoid robots that is even more difficult to shake.
Although no one has come forward to say that Metaverse Intelligent Control's robotics technology is the best in the world, people in this industry know very well that there is no second company in the world that makes humanoid robots that is technically superior to Metaverse Intelligent Control.
Even Boston Dynamics has not seen enough.
Atlas robots are still shooting and playing videos, and Metaverse Intelligent Control has launched and sold its products seriously.
However, Xiaoyuan Robot's price of 788,800 yuan was like a cold sky-high price, which instantly disappointed the expectations of most ordinary consumer families, triggering a strong sense of loss that was out of reach.
The ordinary people at the bottom are mainly watching the excitement. They have been carrying mortgage loans, car loans, etc. for decades, and they simply cannot afford the expense of such a large item.
But a considerable number of ordinary middle-class family groups are really attracted to Xiaoyuan robots, because it can indeed greatly improve their quality of life. Having such a domestic service robot, just by being able to free yourself from kitchen and housework, is enough to make people excited.
Although you can hire a nanny, after all, nannies are also human beings and cannot control them 24 hours a day.
A domestic nanny that can provide 24-hour service is obviously beyond the reach of ordinary middle-class families, and is even more expensive than a robot worth RMB 788,800.
It’s just that the price of Xiaoyuan Robot is 788,800, which is beyond the reach of ordinary middle-class families.
It's not that they can't afford such money, they can cut down other household expenses. For example, if they originally planned to travel abroad, they can only cut down travel expenses. They originally planned to buy a car worth 400,000 yuan, but instead bought a second-hand car worth more than 100,000 yuan.
各种拆东墙补西墙，对其他开支项作取舍，再贷个款什么的，咬咬牙也能买得起。
Just like that, the family's overall ability to resist risks will be greatly reduced, and they cannot lose their job or get sick.
After the product launch conference, what people paying attention to the matter want to know most is the sales volume of Xiaoyuan Robot.
Lu An announced at the press conference that the product will officially open for pre-order on October 5. People from all walks of life want to know the first-day ordering data of this domestic service robot.
The so-called "big deposit" means that after the consumer pays the deposit, the order is locked and enters the production scheduling stage. At this time, the order is irrevocable, the amount is large and non-refundable. If the order is canceled due to consumer reasons, the deposit will not be refunded.
The corresponding one is "small deposit", which is usually a deposit for gold goods that can be refunded at any time.
To reserve a Xiaoyuan robot, consumers must pay a deposit of RMB 20,000.
As time goes by, reservations will be opened on October 5th, and reservations can be made online and offline.
Online includes several major e-commerce platforms and the official website of Metaverse Intelligent Control.
The target customer group of the first generation Xiaoyuan Robot is the very small number of ultra-high net worth groups in China. Few people who choose to order online go to e-commerce platforms. Most of them go directly to the official website of Yuanjie Intelligent Control to place orders.
In addition to online, buyers can also go to offline Yuanjie Intelligent Control's direct stores and Wanxiang Huitong authorized stores to place orders.
In the morning, some high-net-worth users went to the offline store for consultation. They learned that they were interested in purchasing the Xiaoyuan robot. They were quickly invited by store employees from the lobby to the VIP room of the store to entertain them.
Those who have the intention to purchase Xiaoyuan Robot are basically high-net-worth groups.
· Each of these customers has huge spending power, and naturally they must be treated with high standards.
Consumers reserve products at offline stores, pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan after completing the procedures, and the order information will be entered into the general database, and then enter the production scheduling stage.
No matter it is online or offline, you can modify the order or cancel the subscription within 72 hours after paying the deposit. The order will be locked after 72 hours. After the order is locked after the expiration date, if the order is canceled due to the consumer's own reasons, the deposit will not be refunded.
The system will schedule production according to the order in which users lock orders. Users who lock orders first will have priority in scheduling production.
On the day the product was launched, the order volume continued to increase.
Snapshots of consumers pre-ordering Xiaoyuan robots soon appeared on the Internet, but they did not show the order ranking, so it was impossible to judge the pre-order sales from the order details.
Nowadays, many people in the technology circle, the media circle, the investment circle, and the majority of netizens are very concerned about the performance of Xiaoyuan Robot's first-day set data.
Consumers who place orders can check the real-time production scheduling progress through the official Metaverse Intelligent Control APP.
According to screenshots of orders circulating online, the delivery lead time is 6 weeks later, and some are 7 weeks later.
In fact, the first customer to place an order has the fastest delivery cycle, and can deliver it in 4 weeks.
It can be delivered to your door in less than a month.
The construction of the super factory of its subsidiary Metaverse Manufacturing has been completed. The employees have been recruited long ago and are all waiting to go to work. During this period, many general workers went to work as temporary workers, but all of them ended their temporary work last month.
Now we are waiting for the National Day holiday to end and then officially enter full operation.
With the large-scale production capacity of the Gigafactory, when all production capacity is reached, it can easily mass-produce more than 30,000 humanoid robots in one month.
…
The next day, Tuesday, October 6th.
Tomorrow is the last day of the long holiday, and the day after tomorrow will be the first working day after the holiday.
At around 11 a.m., Meng Qiuyan stood on a glass curtain wall in her villa to answer the phone. It was a call from her secretary Liu Qingtang, reporting the first-day set data of the Xiaoyuan robot.
"I know."
Meng Qiuyan hung up the phone, her face beamed with joy, and she turned and walked towards Lu An, who was in the rest area.
"Qingtang just called me to report the situation. Xiaoyuan Robot's 24-hour large order data has been released." Meng Qiuyan came to sit next to Lu An, looked at him and said happily: "The large order was completed on the first day. The sales exceeded 10,000, and the specific order volume was 15,683. "
After hearing the big figures on the first day, Lu An couldn't help but smile: "Fortunately, the sales volume has not dropped. It seems that annual sales of 150,000 to 200,000 are not a big problem."
Hearing this, Meng Qiuyan immediately got angry: "You guys are really greedy. This is a product with a unit price of over 780,000 yuan. If there are 3,000 units on the first day, it will be considered passing. If it exceeds 5,000 units, it will exceed expectations. The actual sales volume is 15,600 units. It is simply a big bang. Well, this data is released." It will definitely shock the outside world. ”
You must know that the three major BBA car series are high-end models with more than 500,000 yuan. The total sales of the three brands last year were only about 150,000. This is based on the huge brand heritage of the three major BBA car companies.
While Xiaoyuan Robot is a new thing, Metaverse Intelligent Control has only been established for more than two years, and the unit price is still 788,800 yuan.
The number of large orders on the first day was 15,600, which is definitely a big hit.
Meng Qiuyan smiled and said: "Judging from the first-day order volume of Xiaoyuan Robot, your previous judgment was correct. The actual number of domestic high-net-worth families far exceeds the paper statistics."
Previous research reports showed that the number of domestic households with more than 6 million investable assets reached 4.75 million on paper.
With paper data plus invisible millionaires, the total number is at least 7 to 8 million.
There are more than 15,000 deposits, and the total deposit scale alone is as high as more than 310 million yuan.
· The unit price of Xiaoyuan robot is 788,800 yuan, and the revenue of 15,683 units is a huge 12.37 billion yuan. Xiaoyuan robot is a high value-added product, with an average single net profit of about 355,000 yuan.
The order volume on the first day can bring a net profit of more than 5.5 billion to Metaverse Intelligent Control.
After a while, Lu An said: "Inform the people under me to announce the first-day sales volume tomorrow."
Meng Qiuyan nodded softly: "Okay."
Immediately took out her mobile phone, and she called her assistant to arrange the matter.
