Rebirth of the Urban Vengeance Goddess

After Lin Qian and Su Mo successfully reached a preliminary cooperation intention with the real estate developer Mr. Li, the company began to prepare for the relevant work in full swing.

The design department took the lead. Xiao Zhao led the team members to various places in Southeast Asia to collect cultural information. In an ancient village in Malaysia, they saw the unique local architectural style. The colorful and ethnic decorative patterns gave them a lot of inspiration.

Xiao Zhao said at the team discussion meeting: "We can apply these color elements to the appearance design of the product, such as the shell of the smart speaker and the lampshade of the smart lamp. Some local traditional symbols can also be added to the operation interface to make users feel more intimate."

At the same time, the R&D department encountered some challenges in considering the application of new algorithms and hardware upgrades. Xiao Li frowned and said to Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, we tested the operation of the new algorithm on the existing hardware. Although it can achieve the function, it occasionally freezes. This is not acceptable."

Lao Zhang stroked his chin and thought, "That may require upgrading some hardware, but we need to confirm with the supplier the supply time and cost of the new hardware. I'm worried that it will take a long time and affect the progress of cooperation with the developer."

They contacted the supplier, who responded that “the production of new hardware requires a certain period of time, and due to fluctuations in raw material prices, the price may be higher than previously estimated.”

After Lin Qian learned the news, he convened a meeting with the R&D and purchasing departments.

Lin Qian said, “We must find a way to solve this problem. Purchasing department, see if you can find other reliable suppliers, or renegotiate prices and delivery times with existing suppliers. R&D department, is it possible to reduce the use of hardware resources by optimizing the algorithm without replacing the hardware?”

Xiao Sun from the purchasing department said, "Mr. Lin, we will contact other suppliers as soon as possible and communicate with existing suppliers. But it may take some time to find new suppliers to evaluate their product quality and reputation."

Xiao Li from the R&D department said, "Mr. Lin, we will try to optimize the algorithm, but we cannot guarantee that we will achieve the desired results. And the optimization algorithm also needs time to test."

Some differences also arose in the process of communicating product customization plans with real estate developers.

Xiao Chen from the sales department reported to Lin Qian and Su Mo: "Mr. Li has proposed some changes to the functions of the smart home package. They hope to add some special functions to the smart security system, such as linkage with the local police station alarm system, but this requires us to communicate and coordinate with the relevant departments, and may involve some technical difficulties."

Su Mo said: "This is a reasonable demand, but it is indeed difficult to achieve. We will first discuss the feasibility with the technical team, and then communicate with Mr. Li about the specific solution."

After discussion, the technical team believed that linkage with the police alarm system needed to meet a series of security standards and data transmission specifications, and that the police systems in different regions were different, requiring customized development.

Lin Qian said to the technical team, "Please take a moment to make a preliminary technical plan and cost budget, and then we will discuss it with Mr. Li. At the same time, we must also explain to him the possible risks and the time extension."

The marketing department also encountered some problems when planning the promotion plan for new features.

Xiao Wang said: "Some of the technology bloggers we invited had conflicting schedules for product experience. In addition, some bloggers put forward some relatively demanding conditions, such as requiring detailed product information and exclusive experience rights in advance."

Su Mo said: "We need to reasonably evaluate the requirements of bloggers. If their influence is large enough and they can comply with our publicity requirements, we can appropriately meet some reasonable conditions. But we must pay attention to signing a confidentiality agreement to prevent product information from being leaked in advance. Regarding the issue of scheduling conflicts, we will see if we can adjust the time of the experience event or invite bloggers to experience it in batches."

In the process of advancing their work, various departments within the company are constantly working together to strive to solve various problems that arise.

Lin Qian said at a general meeting: "As you all know, we are facing many challenges now, but this is also an opportunity for us to grow. Each department should strengthen communication and collaboration, and provide timely feedback and solve problems. We must ensure that cooperation with real estate developers goes smoothly, and at the same time do a good job in product optimization and promotion."

After hard work, the R&D department finally found a way to optimize the algorithm, which reduced the pressure of hardware upgrades to a certain extent.

Xiao Li excitedly reported to everyone: "By optimizing the algorithm, the lag of the new algorithm on the existing hardware has been significantly reduced. We are still continuing to test the stability and expect to complete the test within a week."

The purchasing department also brought good news. They found a new supplier. After negotiations, the new supplier was able to shorten the delivery time and reduce certain costs while ensuring quality.

Xiao Sun said, “Mr. Lin, the new supplier has finalized the details of the cooperation. They can deliver the first batch of new hardware within a month, and the price is [X]% lower than the previous supplier.”

As the problems were gradually solved, the cooperation project between the company and the real estate developer was gradually on the right track. The design department completed the preliminary design of the product appearance and operation interface, and the marketing department also determined the experience time and publicity plan for technology bloggers. Everything was moving in a good direction.

Lin Qian and Su Mo looked at the results of the team's efforts and were full of confidence in the future. They knew that they would encounter various difficulties on the road ahead, but as long as the team was united, they would be able to overcome them. The company will also continue to expand in the Southeast Asian market and achieve new breakthroughs.
