Broadlink suddenly complained about the inside of millet

The house guest June last saw Broadlink founder and CEO Liu Zongji, is two weeks ago Ixdc 2014, when he and Millet Route head Tang Yu at the same Roundtable forum discuss the future development of smart home industry. The two companies have had a very sweet period of cooperation (the third Test of millet router), but in the scene, home guests June found that they are already in a competitive state. Both are promoting their own smart Wi-Fi modules as a cornerstone of smart home connections. The two sides of the event seemed very restrained and did not talk about the specific competitive business. But last night, Liu Zongji in the circle of friends forwarded a copy of his interview (Millet killed into the smart home behind), for the first time with millet and now the relationship between the disclosure and evaluation: 79 Yuan of the hand ring let me originally grounded mouth had to open, Should a company that is already a giant should stop Shanzhai (superclone) and innovate? Wait for a 59-dollar socket to kill a new industry! Millet copied Broadlink? The main content of this interview is: The Millet route was first successfully entered the smart home market through Broadlink. At that time Broadlink opened their own infrared remote control module core information, to assist the other side of the routing and external equipment to optimize the connection, did a lot of work, Millet has promised not to do similar competition, and will recommend Broadlink products. But in now Millet is ready to launch intelligent remote control, socket, copy broadlink of the single product, and to the super low price to shuffle the industry. In the chat to the introduction of millet and Broadlink similar competition, Liu even indignation to say: Millet is locusts, go to a row to destroy a row. This would disrupt production chains and supply chains, and the entire ecological chain would be a mess. Is it a copy? Or lies? Shortly after the article was released, the otaku was actually communicating with Liu Zongji. Because this interview covers the relationship between several of the most active companies in China's smart hardware and the goodwill of a company of tens of billions of dollars, our discussions are focused more on defining the boundaries and identifying some of the unclear details of the interview. What are the products that have been questioned between millet and broadlink? Millet and Broadlink conflict, not only in intelligent remote control, intelligent sockets, as well as their main push business--wi-fi module conflict. For now, the Wi-Fi module is broadly consistent. In conversation, Liu Zongji that Millet is mainly in the reproduction of Broadlink, such as remote control, sockets. In the Wi-Fi module, although the two sides have had product ideas, platform for the exchange of ideas, but the global scope to do this kind of products have a lot of companies, such as Alya NX, Mxchip and so on, millet is also the acquisition Wifi.io team to do this thing. Broadlink is not the industry initiative, so the Wi-Fi module is not a duplicate of the question. Millet was questioned to duplicate the broadlink of the single product? From timeBetween the nodes, Broadlink and millet cooperation in the third edition of the route of the public test began. Liu Zongji said, because Millet gave such as not to do similar competition, recommend Broadlink products, etc., so he put the intelligent remote control of the core materials are given to millet, and for each other developed features-Millet route fast link. But now he learned that Millet recently to launch a similar competition products intelligent remote control, socket products, but also to the very low prices to kill into the market, so have to sound. It is also difficult to define the question of duplication. In the exchange with Liu Zongji, home guests June that: Intelligent remote control technology, including infrared code library, hardware modules, Wi-Fi connection and other basic public, in the market there are many manufacturers have integrated programs. Regardless of whether millet get the relevant product information, do this is not a technical problem, it can even find a solution immediately to provide ready-made products. Broadlink's query, it should be that millet has its cooperation and has its core information, promise not to do the competition, but behind the sudden throw away B oneself do a competition, this is an immoral behavior. The second is millet once said will b products to the Millet mall promotion, but now there is no news, avoid mentioning B. What role does millet play in cooperation? Millet did not respond to this matter. But according to a person in the home of the insider said, Millet and broadlink cooperation quite doubtful. One is financing information. Broadlink told Curtilage gentleman, in May 2013, the Jing-dong, 360 of the Angel financing, 2013 and millet cooperation at the end of the party informed. And insiders revealed that Broadlink is in cooperation to tell Millet it has 360 investment background, the industry outgoing Broadlink accept 360 investment messages in the same time point in the first half of the year. Since millet, 3,602 of the relationship industry are known, have to consider this effect on the cooperation between the two sides. Second, the content of cooperation. Broadlink revealed that the intelligent remote control of a single product core information, and for millet routing developed a fast-connect function. Insiders said that the degree of cooperation is not so in-depth, Broadlink did not give millet this part of the information, nor the development of fast-connect function. This part of the function is independent development of millet, the current intelligent route should be only millet route only this function. And in the whole intelligent home strategic layout, it is difficult to define who affected who. The Wifi.io team of Millet was already doing Wi-Fi module projects in early 2013, and Broadlink was established in July 2013. The insider believes that Broadlink in the smart home layout of millet contribution is very small, infrared remote control single product is only a gimmick, the key is in the Wi-Fi module. and Liu Zongji This use intelligent socket stir up the topic (Information point complement: Liu in forwarding always stressed that Millet will launch 59 yuan intelligent sockets, rather than intelligent remote control), will be two unrelated things together, is to tease everyone's sensitiveSense of nerves, after all, millet before the 79 yuan hand ring has been a large range of hardware business Circle Comments | Saliva war again, in the industry is not good in Liu Zongji initiative in the circle of friends to forward this interview draft, the industry practitioners echo such as tide, on the otaku see more than dozens of forwarding, there are three main types of views. The force is very faction, Millet is the intelligent hardware industry killer. Centrist, 1, due to the commitment and cooperation, because of the duplication and resentment; 2, and the war, wait and see ING. Questioned faction, 1, b in the new round of financing speculation; 2, behind the investment side Jingdong, 360 and millet battle, B is just thrown out of the topic. There is no point in arguing. On the current disclosure of information points, it is difficult to determine how the millet and broadlink cooperation between the two. But the house guest gentleman thinks the thing is relatively simple: since Broadlink thinks Millet once promised not to do the same kind of competition goods, then in the bilateral cooperation frame, this is has the legal effect. Is it not more straightforward to resort to legal means if it is inconvenient to disclose trade secrets? Whether it is millet, or broadlink, have talked a lot about smart home platform-level company's ideas. After saliva, better products will naturally speak.
