Rebirth of the Urban Vengeance Goddess

Lin Qian and Su Mo sat in the office, discussing the next plan.

Su Mo spoke first: "The algorithm and hardware problems have been partially solved, but we can't let our guard down. The R&D department must continue to pay attention to the stability of the algorithm to ensure that there will be no problems when it is used on a large scale."

Lin Qian nodded: "That's right. Although the design department has completed the preliminary design, we still need to further improve it based on Mr. Li's feedback. After the marketing department finalizes the promotion plan, they need to do a good job of preheating in advance."

At this time, Xiao Zhao came in with a design draft in his hand. "Boss Lin, Boss Su, this is the revised design draft we discussed before, with some new elements added. Take a look."

Lin Qian took the design and examined it carefully. "These new elements are great, and the color combination is more harmonious. However, will the pattern on the shell of this smart speaker increase the cost during the production process?"

Xiao Zhao replied: "We have already communicated with the production department, and they said that if the new process is adopted, the cost will increase to a certain extent, but not too much. And judging from the market feedback, this unique design may increase the appeal of the product and increase sales."

Su Mo thought for a moment and said, "Then we need to weigh the costs and benefits. Let's make a cost-benefit analysis report first."

At this time, Xiao Chen from the sales department rushed in. "Mr. Lin, Mr. Su, something bad has happened. We have heard that our competitor is also negotiating a similar smart home cooperation project with another real estate developer, and the price they offered is lower than ours."

Lin Qian frowned. "Why did they offer such a low price? Did they make any cuts in product quality or functionality?"

Xiao Chen shook his head. “It’s not clear yet, but we can’t ignore this issue. If they win the project, it could have a big impact on our expansion in the Southeast Asian market.”

Su Mo stood up and paced around the office. "We have to find a way to deal with this. R&D department, can you add some unique features to the product without increasing costs too much?"

Zhang from the R&D department replied: "We can try to make some optimizations in intelligent control, such as realizing the one-key linkage function of multiple devices, which is not very popular in the current market. But this will take some time to develop and test."

Lin Qian said, “Then let’s get started as soon as possible. Purchasing Department, please take a look at whether the cost of raw materials can be further reduced. Meanwhile, the Sales Department should investigate the competitor’s quotation details and product features.”

Xiao Sun from the purchasing department said, "Mr. Lin, we will continue to negotiate with the supplier. However, the price of raw materials in the market is fluctuating greatly, so it may be difficult to reduce costs."

Xiao Chen from the sales department said, "Okay, Mr. Lin. I will immediately arrange for someone to investigate the situation of our competitors."

A few days later, Xiao Chen brought the results of the investigation. "Mr. Lin, Mr. Su, we have investigated clearly. The competitor's products have indeed made some omissions in terms of functions. For example, their smart security system is not as complete as ours, and the quality of some of the hardware they use is not as good as ours. However, they reduced costs through large-scale procurement, so the quotation is relatively low."

Lin Qian said, "We can't sacrifice product quality in order to lower prices. But we also have to find ways to improve our competitiveness. Marketing department, do you have any good promotional strategies that can highlight the advantages of our products?"

Xiao Wang from the marketing department said: "We can make some comparison videos to show the differences between our products and those of our competitors in terms of functions, quality, etc. Then we can promote them through social media and online advertising."

Su Mo said: "This is a good idea. But you have to be careful about the way you promote it. You can't slander your competitors, and you have to base it on objective facts."

In the process of developing new functions, the R&D department encountered new problems. Xiao Li said anxiously: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Su, when we were developing the multi-device one-click linkage function, we found that there were compatibility issues between devices of different brands. This requires us to communicate and coordinate with other equipment manufacturers."

Lin Qian said: "Then quickly contact other equipment manufacturers to see if we can reach a cooperation agreement and solve the compatibility problem."

At the same time, the design department had new ideas for product appearance design. Xiao Zhao said: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Su, we think we can launch some customized appearance design services, so that users can choose different patterns and colors according to their preferences. This can further meet the personalized needs of users."

Su Mo's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. But we have to consider the feasibility and cost of production. You should make a detailed plan first."

As the work progressed, the company faced new challenges. Mr. Li, a real estate developer, expressed his hope to see the complete sample of the product in advance and conduct field tests.

Lin Qian said, "This is a bit tight for us. But we have to try our best to meet Mr. Li's requirements. Production department, can you speed up the production of samples?"

The head of the production department replied: "Mr. Lin, we will work overtime to produce samples. However, the supply of some parts may be delayed. We need to coordinate with the purchasing department."

Xiao Sun from the purchasing department said: "I will contact the supplier immediately and urge them to ship the goods as soon as possible."

During this process, the team members worked closely together to overcome difficulties one after another. Lin Qian and Su Mo also actively participated in each link to provide support and guidance to everyone.

One day, Lin Qian gathered everyone together and said, "It has been very hard for everyone during this period. But our efforts have paid off. Our products are becoming more and more perfect, and our market competitiveness is also constantly improving. As long as we continue to maintain this spirit of unity and cooperation, I believe we will be able to succeed in the Southeast Asian market."

Su Mo also encouraged everyone, saying, "Yes, difficulties are only temporary. We must believe in our own abilities and believe in our team. Let's work together!"

The team members nodded and devoted themselves to the next work with confidence. The cooperation project between the company and the real estate developer also continued to move forward steadily in this series of challenges and opportunities.
