349: Chapter 349 Transsion Smart Home Launch Event

"As expected of Xiaomi, they just love telling the truth. The endorsement of 'Shen Fei Heavy Industries' is more effective than the top ten celebrity endorsements combined..."

"Transsion's air conditioners are complete trash. How good can an OEM factory's technology be? They use second-rate tech. It's just OEM work, they only earn labor costs—what kind of good technology would they give you?"

"Holy crap, is there another time traveler? Hasn't Transsion not even released it yet?"

"To the person above, can you not start cursing the moment someone has doubts? Transsion Technology isn't a god, how could there be no issues? Besides, their factory hasn't even been built yet, so isn't it normal to find an OEM?"

"What they're saying might actually be true..."

"Exactly. Dami Reviews definitely took money. I'm just curious how much he took to throw away even his basic review ethics."

"We shouldn't question them; instead, we should praise them. We'll just wait and watch the drama when their home appliances start having minor issues."

"To the person above, are you talking about xiao ai? I heard there was a malfunction in the lab..."

Just as the fans of both sides were arguing, an old fan directly @ed Dami Reviews: "Teacher Xiaomi, my family has already ordered Transsion's smart home package, but we haven't decided on the scope yet. Can you give us some advice?"

"Or is there any good setup? I'll camp for one..."

This comment was quickly upvoted to the top. Dami Reviews replied directly: "Not just a review—I plan to replace all the appliances in my studio, from the air conditioner, refrigerator, and TV to the lighting, entirely with Transsion's."

"???? Xiaomi, you're crazy. You're turning your studio into a Transsion showroom."

"Holy cow, other people review by letting the products speak, but you're voting directly with your studio?"

"Is this reverse promotion? Others question you, and you just go for the full set."

What was even more interesting was that the comments attacking Dami Reviews were quickly shut down by even more people.

He's getting the full set for his studio; experiencing it firsthand is much better than some keyboard warriors who can only type.

Dami Reviews ignored those doubts completely and posted another Weibo: "I'll do a livestream for everyone during the offline launch event."

Around July 20th, I will livestream the unboxing for everyone. From dismantling the old appliances to installing the complete set of Transsion Smart Home, it will be an unedited livestream all the way.

"Stay tuned if you want to watch..."

Shen Fei's official Weibo also interacted with Xiaomi: "Thank you for your trust, Xiaomi. I believe Transsion Smart Home will definitely satisfy you."

Meanwhile, Chen Fei was laying out the schedule for the smart home launch event in his office. After all, with over a hundred products, it was too difficult to arrange.

For example, should it be the CV air conditioner, the refrigerator, or the smart central control?

And who would present these products and how much time each item would get, so there were annotations and revisions all over it.

Li Qing sent another message: "Boss, there's movement on Gree's side."

On the website Shen Fei opened, it turned out that Chairwoman Dong Mingzhu was asked about this issue during an interview.

She smiled and explained that manufacturing air conditioners and building engines are two entirely different things and cannot be lumped together.

Furthermore, she said that Transsion was just marketing, as it was nearly impossible for a private enterprise to manufacture such an advanced engine.

It was more likely that some tech and military bloggers were helping them promote it, while the state was also assisting them. After all, having trillions in assets frozen by the United States was a massive loss.

Shen Fei smiled after reading it, and his opinion of Chairwoman Dong Mingzhu changed slightly. While she wasn't great, she was indeed quite "understanding" at times.

...

Amid everyone's anticipation, the Transsion Smart Home launch event was scheduled for 2:30 PM.

At exactly 2:00 PM, a long queue formed outside. Those who came were not just fans and media, but also home appliance industry professionals, distributors, and of course, spies from competitors.

But Transsion knew their purpose and deliberately arranged some prime seats for them. For example, the general sales agent for Gree's South China region sat in the second row.

The general sales agent for Midea's North China region sat in the third row.

Agents from other brands and even some product directors personally arrived at the scene.

No one dared to underestimate the Transsion Smart Home project.

It wasn't because of Shen Fei's Weibo or the United States' sanctions, but because of the hundreds of products previously displayed at the Transsion Smart Home booth.

After the last exhibition ended, they had also studied them carefully, and the technology was indeed very advanced...

Most importantly, they weren't PowerPoint slides or concepts; they were real, mass-produced products about to go on sale.

At 2:29 PM, the countdown began playing on the big screen.

10, 9, 8...

The entire audience shouted together, all looking forward to the upcoming era of smart homes.

With a beam of light, Shen Fei strode toward the center of the stage, and the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

However, he was only an opening host today; the actual presenter would have to be the project manager.

"Good afternoon, friends here at the venue and family in the livestream!"

Shen Fei waved his hand, and the audience below immediately began to cheer:

"Today, we will release the Transsion Smart Home products."

Saying this, Shen Fei moved on the stage, walking toward the main stage on the right.

This side was mainly for distributors of traditional home appliance manufacturers, with the lowest tier being municipal-level distributors.

"This time, it's not a concept, nor is it paper trading. After tonight's launch event ends, they will immediately go on sale on the official website. In-stock items, no limit!"

The distributors below also applauded, their eyes gleaming with greed.

When would Transsion release them? Was there a limit? Whether traditional manufacturers went under or not, they didn't care either.

They only wanted to know if Transsion would open up dealerships and if they could get a piece of the pie to survive.

"Before introducing the products, let me address one thing first," Shen Fei paused.

Recent online hot topics, such as the Transsion engine, had also appeared in the discussions.

"Recently, there has been a lot of discussion online about the Transsion engine.

Just now, the director also told me that everyone isn't discussing our smart home, but rather the engine.

I want to tell everyone that engines are really not that easy to build, especially leading-edge engines. This is truly not something a private enterprise like us can produce.

So today, we will only talk about smart homes, alright, everyone?"

There was another round of applause from the audience, but the bullet comments were rapidly flashing a sentence:

"He only said that engines are hard to build and not something a private enterprise can make, but he didn't deny it..."

"No denial means admission~"

"It seems this engine really was built by Transsion. I just don't know how inflated the technical claims are."

"To the person above, this is a military engine. We aren't like the United States, faking parameters."

Amid their discussions, an image had already appeared on the big screen.

It was not a product image, but a map of China, densely marked with red dots.

From south to north, from east to west, it covered almost all provincial capitals and most prefecture-level cities.

The hearts of the distributors in the audience instantly turned cold. After all...
