Entrepreneurial quotations:? Bill Gates said, let every desk have a computer; Our dream is to turn every desk into a computer?
Entrepreneurship has become the most fashionable word nowadays. More and more young makers are labeled as entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship seems to be young people's? Patents? . But in a technology company in Zhongguancun Park, the four co-founders are all born after 70, and their entrepreneurial goal is to make the table bigger? Smart? . In old boys's blood, there is no less entrepreneurial passion than young people.
? Crazy lab? Crazy idea
? Why don't we interview in another place? When the reporter asked to visit the company, Sun Zhi, the co-founder of Zixiao Technology, hesitated on the other end of the phone. The studio is too messy and the environment is not very good. What is this? Crazy lab? . ? The reporter asked again, he didn't refuse again. The reporter finally stepped into the studio and witnessed how big it can be. Crazy? .
In Shangdi, where technology companies gather, Zixiao Technology is released? Home? Settle in the nearby contemporary urban home community, because of this? Work is also a bit of a home atmosphere? . Stepping into the gate, the room of 100 square meters is not too big: in the middle of the living room, there is an X-board smart table experimental machine that will be listed soon, with a huge screen with a surface of 59 inches shining, which is particularly conspicuous, and some circuit boards are exposed under the machine. On the ground, all kinds of parts are available, and various types of glass screens are erected; On the shelf by the wall, tools such as carpenters, assemblers and even cloth for grinding glass are piled up.
In the room, three engineers are busy in front of the computer, and there are some empty bottles of Diet Coke beside them. The cigarette butts in the ashtray are full. ? The environment in which we started our business is a bit difficult. We stayed up for several nights for the research and development of new products. Sun Zhizheng patted the screen of the experimental machine.
Their products were the hottest in Zhongguancun exhibition hall of Beijing Science and Technology Fair last week? Smart coffee table? An upgraded version. Its surface is a 55-inch 4K resolution giant screen. Besides the basic function of putting things on the table, it can also be used for watching videos, playing games, writing and drawing. ? We should let it lead the revolution in the living room. ? Sun Zhi just said that as early as 20 1 1, his junior high school classmates were once dubbed by Wall Street people as? Crazy scientist? Li Hao had a crazy idea: all kinds of furniture, walls, floors and other cold surfaces in life can move and become an interface that can interact with people. Calling friends and classmates, the idea of the four-person team hit it off and started a crazy entrepreneurial journey. ? Let the cool scenes of human-computer interaction in science fiction and movies become a reality. ? Sun Zhizheng's eyes lit up and he said it three times in a row? Crazy? :? After four crazy 70 s, I had crazy ideas and started a business in a crazy lab. ?
Dismantle 200 TVs and replace LCD screens.
White shirt and blue jeans, if it weren't for a beard, no one would have thought that Sun Zhi was a real post-70s. His other three partners are all born after 70, but what is even more unexpected is that these people have given up stable and excellent jobs and started things unrelated to their original jobs.
? The four of us all worked in the media, law and finance industries before starting a business. My previous job was to do IT software work for banks. ? Sun Zhizheng is a conservative statement. What should I do if I don't understand hardware technology at the beginning of my business? I can only teach myself. ?
However, entrepreneurship is not smooth sailing, but full of thorns. If you don't know the technology, the team will go to the component supplier? Stealing a teacher? Master, when you come back, search videos on the Internet and teach yourself. However, for the core component LCD screen, the team hit a wall a lot. Due to the small demand, many companies selling LCD screens refused to supply such small companies, and the experiment could not be carried out. After gritting their teeth, the team made a difficult but no choice decision: remove the TV and get the screen.
Buy four or five thousand yuan wall-hung TV in the market and take off the screen. One team member is responsible for the hardware, and the other team is responsible for the software. After half a year's day and night experiments, a large screen like the vertical display board of the first generation products has been made. Sun Zhi said that even in big enterprises like Microsoft and Lenovo, the technical problems of similar products have not been well solved. Crazy scientist? With the efforts of Li Hao and others and the support of advanced technology, this seemingly crazy idea finally landed. Soon after, the team also ushered in the first happy event to beat a number of large companies to win the bid and become a military sand table supplier of a military department.
Ten machines must be completed in less than five months. The big foundry company refused to do it, so it had to find a small factory to grind time. Team members kept improving, developing and processing in the laboratory, and even stayed home for four days. Sun Zhi is talking about what a group can make a team have. Heartache? Number of:? In order to develop a machine successfully, we dismantled 30 TVs; In order to complete this project, we dismantled more than 200 televisions. ?
The table plays a new trick in life.
The team's efforts finally paid off. To their surprise, OEM? Giants? Foxconn took a fancy to their products, offered to cooperate with them for OEM, and solved the problem of the team? Big problem? Screen channel problem. By June of 20 13, the second generation of intelligent coffee table was developed. Dismantle the TV? The stupid method is gone forever. Various forms of products such as sand table and podium were mass-produced and supplied to the military industry and government departments, and the team's efforts finally became formal. However, they are overwhelmed by a large number of customized orders. Customization for different needs of different customers has limited our development direction, and we want it to enter people's living rooms. ?
? We have different entrepreneurial thinking from many young people. ? Sun Zhizheng admitted that many entrepreneurs are eager to upgrade their products and attach importance to the sales and publicity of products. We are not in a hurry to make a profit, but we should concentrate on research and development and make practical content to make our products better used by the public. ? A few post-70 s calm personalities made them make their first product for the public after four years of entrepreneurship. Many interested manufacturers have been urging them to produce new products, but what did Sun Zhizheng tell them the most? Wait? . ? We hope it can lead a revolution, not only in the living room, but in the way of life. ? Standing in front of the new product that has been researched and developed for two years, Sun Zhizheng is making a demonstration in a firm tone.
After grinding a sword for two years, the new product has bigger screen, stronger anti-glare ability and more accurate touch. Can be used for entertainment, can also be used for writing, and can modify the annotations on virtual paper at will. The office has become a bigger goal of team daydreaming. Can I pass the certification and become an A? Exclusive? Small-scale interaction between desk and company makes video conference, file transfer and processing more convenient. In the future, advertising screens on the road, shop windows in shopping malls and entertainment tables in restaurants and cafes can all be large touch screens. After authentication, the interfaces and data stored in the cloud will be presented. ? The era of running around the world with a notebook on your back may be over? Sun Zhizheng imagined: In the future world, touch operation under the condition of large size will be the mainstream interaction mode. ?
After walking out of this crazy lab, several members of the team immediately plunged into another round of experiments. Although they started their business after 70, their enthusiasm is no less than that of any young people. ? If you have a crazy idea, you must realize it. ? In Sun Zhizheng's view, entrepreneurship has nothing to do with age, but with dreams and attitudes. Don't be eager for quick success, pay more attention to the product content. Does old boys start his own business? Internal strength? It has become a different kind of scenery.
