On March 20, the day Xiao Qi returned to Chengdu, a company called nextlabs held a grand product launch ceremony at the Los Angeles International Convention and Exhibition Center in North America.

There were not many fans attending the entire product launch conference, but almost 200 reporters came, which can be said to be quite a large scale.

Of course, the reason why nextlabs company can attract so many reporters is that they are a company owned by Xiao Qi, and they are almost entirely controlled by Xiao Qi.

Many of Xiao Qi's investments are already known to people.

Generally, his investments are divided into two types. One is to invest in large companies that he is optimistic about, such as 10% of Apple, 20% of Amazon, etc. This shows that Xiao Qi is fully optimistic about them.

The other is a company founded by Xiao Qi himself or fully acquired by him. Basically, the shares controlled by Xiao Qi will not be less than 80%, at least generally not less than 66%.

The two investment methods are different, but any investment that Xiao Qi participates in will be favored by capital.

The reason is very simple. Xiao Qi has never done any loss-making business. He has outstanding abilities and a very good vision. He really deserves the title of "Genius Boy".

People have a herd mentality and follow talented people to get rich, which is what many people want.

No need to work too hard, just follow Xiao Qi's investment, he eats meat, everyone drinks soup, life like this is quite pleasant.

Not to mention the stocks of unlisted companies that everyone can't buy, take a look at the stocks of Apple, Amazon, Qualcomm, Oracle and other companies that Xiao Qi bought. When the financial crisis comes, although they will inevitably suffer

They were severely damaged, but they were the first to recover and actively return to the original right track. It was them.

Even Apple, which has developed the best, relied on the purchase of 7% of the app store shares from Fairy Company and the hot sales of iPhone 2, and its market value has exceeded a terrifying 140 billion U.S. dollars--a distance from Apple's market value last year.

It only took less than half a year to fall below 80 billion US dollars, and now it is almost doubling!

The current market value of the 10% of the stocks that Xiao Qi purchased has increased from US$8 billion to US$14 billion. In less than half a year, Xiao Qi earned US$6 billion from the increase in stock value alone!

Naturally, after Apple and Fairy announced that Xiao Qi held 10% of Apple's shares, it was also considered one of the reasons for the rapid rise in Apple's stock price.

Many people followed Xiao Qi and bought Apple's shares, which made Apple's shares highly sought after and hyped up by them one after another. This is a natural thing.

Let’s not talk about these companies in which Xiao Qi holds shares. Of course, the ones that interest people the most are the companies that Xiao Qi wholly acquired or founded by himself.

Although according to Xiao Qi's stingy character, it is unlikely that everyone will buy shares in these companies, this does not hinder everyone's gossip mentality. They all want to see what company Xiao Qi bought and what he is doing.

The specific scope of business of many of these companies has been reported by reporters. However, Nextlabs is a very mysterious company. The outside world has never known what products they are working on.

There was news before that nextlabs was developing smart home products, but no one could figure out what smart home products would allow Xiao Qi to invest so much money.

Today is the time to solve the mystery.

At 9 o'clock, Danny Fadel stepped onto the stage of the press conference.

"Gentlemen and ladies, I am very happy to come to attend the product launch of nextlabs." Fadel first walked on the spacious stage and spoke, much like his idol Gang Leader Qiao, "As we all know, nextlabs is Xiao Qi's company.

The company Mr. Xiao Qi invested in and founded. But many people are asking: What does nextlabs do? Why did Mr. Xiao Qi invest in it? Can it change the entire industry like the products produced and developed by other companies in Fairy Company? "

The reporters below nodded repeatedly. Isn't this why they came today?

"Today, the first smart product launched by nextlabs will answer your questions, I believe." Fadel smiled slightly and took out a cylinder about the size of a palm from his pocket.

The light suddenly shone on the cylinder.

This smooth cylinder has a radius of about 3 centimeters and a thickness of about 3 centimeters. In addition, it can be clearly seen that the brilliant silver side is not integrated, but is divided into a 0.5 centimeter control rotating button and a 2.5 centimeter stainless steel

Wrap the cylinder.

The most beautiful thing is the front, the outer layer is made of transparent glass.

Fadel gently pressed the glass on the front, and saw a circle in the middle of the cylinder flashing with light. A circular backlit LED blue LCD screen was displayed behind the glass. Pressing it again, it showed

temperature.

"This is our smart thermostat, and the name is nest." Fadel gently turned the outer ring, and the temperature automatically began to adjust. "When it is orange, it means it is heating; when it is blue, it is heating."

Cooling; when it’s green, it’s in energy-saving mode.”

"Crack, click, click!"

The camera below immediately flashed its spotlight.

Compared with traditional central air conditioners or heating temperature controllers, the Nest smart thermostat is far ahead in appearance and form, and people will like it at first sight.

While reporters were taking photos, they were also interested in Nest’s name—smart thermostat.

Since it is a smart thermostat, what makes it smart?

Fadel did not disappoint them, "Please look at the screen, I will follow the screen display and tell you."

Following his words, a set of pictures appeared on the large LCD screen behind him.

First, there is a rectangular controller for central air conditioning mounted on the wall of a home, with a temperature display and various buttons on it.

Then a girl took a beautiful small box with "nest smart thermostat" written on it. After opening it, she took out the parts of the nest smart thermostat and put them on the table.

Fadel explained to everyone the function of each component, as well as thoughtful measures such as attaching lithium batteries inside, until the installation workers removed the old-fashioned thermostat and replaced it with a Nest smart thermostat.

“The reason why the nest smart thermostat is called smart is because we designed a sophisticated learning algorithm for it.” In line with the girl’s various movements, Fadel continued to talk: “In the first week of use, nest

A smart thermostat requires people to manually adjust the temperature. It will record your daily work and rest habits, as well as the temperature control setting habits for each time period, such as getting up, going to work, getting off work, sleeping, etc.

We installed 8 sensors on the Nest smart thermostat to constantly monitor and consider temperature, humidity, ambient light and surrounding equipment. This way it can intelligently determine whether there is anyone in the room and decide whether to automatically shut down.

In order to make the room more comfortable, the nest smart thermostat will also synchronize with the real-time outdoor temperature through wifi and built-in programs. The built-in humidity sensor can also allow air conditioners, electric heating systems and other home appliances to provide appropriate air flow.

and wind speed.

In addition, the most important point is that the nest smart thermostat is a very important first step in our "smart home plan". We have developed an app, which will be available on the app store from the date the nest smart thermostat is released.

And free download from Android store.

This app allows you to break away from your daily habits through smart wifi links. For example, when you are on vacation, you can automatically turn off the nest smart thermostat through the app on your mobile phone; and when you get off the plane and take the car home

On the way, you can use your mobile phone remote control to turn on the nest smart thermostat to refresh the air in your home and make your home's temperature cooler or warmer.

Friends, please start cheering! Starting from Nest smart thermostat, you can already enjoy the fun of smart home! From now on, technology will continue to change our lives and make us live happier!!"

When Fadel said this, a young man stood up suddenly among the few fans in the seats and clapped vigorously.

The second, the third...

First the fans stood up, and then reporters stood up one after another. In the blink of an eye, everyone stood up.

They kept clapping their hands, their faces filled with excitement and joy.

Everyone is American, or lives in the United States, and they know very well about the thermostat system that has not changed for decades.

Originally, manufacturers were unwilling to make changes, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But now nextlabs suddenly launches the Nest smart thermostat, which directly subverts the entire concept of thermostats.

In the short film shown on the screen and in Fadel's description, they all saw the situation of home intelligence that could only be seen on TV in the past.

Think about it, you don’t have to do anything yourself at all. At all times of the day, in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, there is a smart thermostat to help you adjust the temperature, allowing you to live in a comfortable environment anytime and anywhere. How wonderful is that?

What a pleasant experience!

Even just looking at this nest smart thermostat, looking at its exquisite workmanship, everyone will feel a kind of beautiful enjoyment.

It is indeed Xiao Qi’s company!
Chapter completed!
