Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 340 Overseas Resurgence

"Upstairs, are you saying that President Shen doesn't listen to him?"

Looks like it's time to replace Transsion's HR manager in Africa [doge emoji]

While netizens were discussing it, the phone went to check out the smart speaker production line.

This production line is next to Transsion Panel, on one floor, about 1000 square meters.

A dozen or so automated machines are lined up in a row, and workers are adjusting their parameters.

The production line manager is Wang Hai, who is in his early 30s. He previously worked at Foxconn for 8 years and was poached by Transsion to be in charge of manufacturing smart speakers.

"Boss, this production line is designed to produce 200 million units per year."

At full production capacity, one unit will be produced every 40 seconds.

Wang Hai had a hint of pride on his face, after all, before he took over, the time was 1 minute and 30 seconds, and now it had more than doubled.

Shen Fei nodded in satisfaction. As expected of an experienced master, he was reliable.

"The current yield rate is 98.5%, and the target is 99.8%. We are still ramping up the yield."

Shen Fei walked to the middle of the production line, picked up a smart speaker that had just come off the line, a white cylindrical body with a ring of lights on the top.

It weighs 700g and feels substantial in your hand, yet it also has a very high-quality feel.

He flipped it over and looked at the label at the bottom: "Transindan. Intelligent Voice Assistant".

"A brief biography."

Shen Fei called out.

The light strip on top of the speaker flashed: "I'm here."

"Play music."

A piece of soothing music flowed from the speaker, the sound quality was very clean, the bass did not have that muffled feeling, and the treble was not harsh.

Shen Fei tried a few more functions: checking the weather, setting an alarm, and looking up information in the encyclopedia. The response speeds were all very fast.

"How's the wake-up rate?"

"99.5% accuracy in quiet environments, 95% accuracy in noisy environments, and a false wake-up rate of less than one in ten thousand."

Just as Shen Fei was looking at it, Wang Hai leaned closer and whispered a reminder:

"This data is 10 percentage points higher than the engineering prototype of Xiao Ai."

Shen Fei glanced at him. Xiao Ai was still just a PowerPoint presentation, and Wang Hai had only managed to get a sample.

"You've already taken the test."

Wang Hai smiled and said, "We definitely need to work on our competitors' products and take a look."

As for how he obtained it, Wang Hai didn't say. After all, the rice was manufactured by an OEM, while Transsion was produced in-house, so the level of confidentiality was definitely different.

"According to our analysis, Xiao Ai uses a Qualcomm chip, and the wake-up delay is about 1.2 seconds."

Our voice transmission device uses a self-developed voice chip with a latency of approximately 0.4 seconds, twice as fast as the competitor's.

Shenfei put the speaker back on the production line: "Continue to optimize it, and improve the wake-up rate a little more before release."

"I'll give everyone bonuses after the product is launched."

Everyone present had their eyes light up. If the salary was in place, then there wouldn't be any problems.

It was already afternoon when I came out of one of the production lines.

The secretary checked the schedule and confirmed that the next stop was the air conditioning R&D center.

The air conditioning R&D center is located in another science park, not far from Transsion's headquarters.

On the way back from Guangming, we encountered a rush hour and the road was slightly congested.

While stuck in traffic, Shen Fei checked his phone and saw a video of Gree's Dong Mingzhu being interviewed.

This interview was filmed at Gree's new factory. Dong Mingzhu was wearing a light blue dress, just like always.

This time, the reporter asked her: "Ms. Dong, what are your thoughts on the industry entering the smart home field and your evaluation of Transsion's live broadcast yesterday?"

A slight smile appeared on Dong Mingzhu's face, but more than that, her face twitched slightly.

"The technology that Mr. Shen showed yesterday was indeed impressive, but I still want to emphasize that making air conditioners and making mobile phones are not the same thing."

The core of an air conditioner is the compressor, which is the refrigeration technology.

This technology was previously monopolized by foreign giants, but with breakthroughs by domestic brands such as Gree, we have gradually mastered the core technology, making it very difficult for foreign giants to bypass our patents.

So what I'm trying to say is that an air conditioner can't be called a smart air conditioner just because it has a screen attached to it and a voice module installed.

Some companies believe that money can buy good air conditioners, but they lack respect for the manufacturing industry.

After watching the video, Shen Fei put his phone back in his pocket.

He didn't say anything, and neither did the other people in the car.

Upon arriving at the air conditioning R&D center, this became Chen Wei's base.

This is also the base that Shenfei trusts the most, after all, people in the industry have a consistent opinion about it: they understand air conditioning, and they understand refrigerators even better.

"Mr. Shen, welcome."

Chen Wei led Shen Fei into the lobby of the R&D center.

Dozens of air conditioners are displayed in the hall, including wall-mounted, floor-standing, and central air conditioning units. Some are products from other companies, while others are smart products from Transsion.

Each one is labeled with its model number and specifications.

Shen Fei walked and looked around, stopping every now and then to ask a few questions, and Chen Wei explained everything in detail.

From the compressor to the condenser, from the evaporator to the expansion valve, he answered every parameter and supplier's questions fluently.

"Boss, this is our first-generation air conditioner, codenamed Extreme Cold."

Chen Wei pointed to a white wall-mounted air conditioner.

"Currently, the energy efficiency ratio is even higher than the new national standard level 1. The compressor is self-developed and adopts variable frequency dual rotor technology, with a minimum rotation frequency of 10Hz."

The lowest frequency of mainstream products on the market is 15Hz.

The lower the frequency, the lower the energy consumption and the lower the noise.

Chen Wei naturally saw Dong Mingzhu's comments. Gree does have technology, but their technology depends on who they are compared to.

Ordinary second-rate companies or other first-rate companies are indeed good, but compared to Transsion, a technological genius, they are not good enough.

Shen Fei just smiled knowingly, then stood in front of the air conditioner, feeling the coolness from the vent.

"What about the cooling speed?"

Chen Wei took out his phone from his pocket, opened an app, and tapped a few times.

"Laboratory data shows that from startup to air vent, the temperature drops to 16 degrees Celsius in just 35 seconds."

Gree's fastest model takes 42 seconds; we're 7 seconds faster.

Shen Fei glanced at the design on the phone screen and said, "I'll help you out a little."

"Our competitors say we don't understand air conditioning."

Chen Wei smiled.

"Whether you understand air conditioning or not isn't determined by what you say, but by what you actually do with the product."

"What's the situation at Gree right now?"

Shen Fei knew the answer before, but not the answer now, so he wanted to ask.

"There hasn't been much progress recently. They still refused before, saying that Gree wouldn't do contract manufacturing because they have their own technology."

Shen Fei smiled and said, "Since they are unwilling to cooperate, then we won't cooperate, and we won't need to in the future either."

What we make ourselves is definitely better than what they make.

We have a clear technological advantage and can compete on price. The market will provide the answer once the product hits the market.

He walked away from the empty stage and continued looking ahead. There was still an engineering sample on the exhibition hall, its outer shell unpainted, revealing the bare metal.

This is another flagship model that will adopt a dual-compressor solution, making its cooling and heating speeds quite fast in the industry.

This is the Aurora series.

But just then, Li Qing received a phone call and suddenly ran to his side: "Boss, something's happened overseas again!"

…………

We picked up 8 today, still a few more to go, brothers keep it up!

I went out today and am still working on my draft.
