Chapter 412 Sky-high price·Never sell cheap
During the video connection with Professor Liu, Tang Xiaochuan learned that the research center has only 120 researchers conducting research on quantum computers, quantum algorithms, and materials.

He asked: "Is such a small amount of manpower too small? Now scientific research institutions around the world are investing heavily in quantum research. If we want to firmly grasp the absolute supremacy of quantum, we must increase investment in manpower, material resources and financial resources." !"

When Professor Liu heard what Tang Xiaochuan said, he agreed: "Okay, temporarily increase the number to 300. In terms of manpower, I will transfer from other research departments to try to prevent human resources from being idle!"

Regarding the price of Optical Brain Intelligence Type [-], the senior management of Feitian Technology Group had a serious disagreement during the meeting.

In the conference room, Liu Zhiyuan first proposed an external selling price of 80 billion yuan per unit. When this price was raised, even Tang Xiaochuan was taken aback.

Vice President He swallowed, "Mr. Liu, isn't the price you mentioned too outrageous? Who can afford it at this price?"

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "What? Is this price outrageous? Do you know how much it costs to assemble the fastest supercomputer in the world today? 63 billion! This is not counting the computer room, power supply, heat dissipation, chassis and other equipment In terms of cost, is our Optical Brain Type 80 expensive to sell for [-] billion?"

"If our optical brain can't even match the price of a supercomputer, then it is too worthless, and the technology it claims is too worthless!"

"Everyone, our group invests a lot in the research of quantum computers and quantum algorithms and other technologies. We can't be a bad person. We must recover the cost of research and development and make a profit. The group must continue to develop, and the employees must survive. Can this be solved by being a bad person?"

"Besides, how many institutions and companies in the world can use this kind of equipment? How many units can we sell? If we don't set the price higher, how can we double the recovery and make a profit?"

Vice President He was a little embarrassed, "Yes, according to Mr. Liu's thinking, it is reasonable for you to set such a high price, but can those research institutions and enterprises accept this price? Have you considered this? ?”

Liu Zhiyuan snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate those technology companies and scientific research institutions. Isn't 80 billion a lot? Isn't 20 billion a lot ten or 80 years ago now? Because it is not a daily necessities, it cannot be sold at a low price. Even if scientific research institutions or technology companies that really need it have no money, they will find ways to raise money to buy it, because they all know that if they don’t have it and other research institutions have it, what does that mean? It means that the research progress is lagging behind! "

Tang Xiaochuan looked at Wang Xingui, "Vice President Wang, what's your opinion?"

Wang Xingui thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "Boss, if the group sells the Optical Brain Smart Type 150 to recover R&D costs and make a profit, I think we can consider lowering the price appropriately, and set it according to the purchasing power of the market, because the price is too high. , there are really not many institutions and companies that have the strength to buy it; but if the company does not lack this rice, I think it is still necessary to maintain its value. Our quantum computer already has computer functions, and its computing speed is the most powerful supercomputer in the world today. It is [-] trillion times that of a computer, and selling it at a low price does not conform to its high-end image and absolute quantum hegemony!"

Tang Xiaochuan slapped the table, looked at everyone with a straight face and said: "Yes, our group does not lack this kind of rice to cook. Selling it at a low price is really a pity for its high-end image and quantum absolute hegemony. It is priced at 80 billion This is already the lowest price. If no one buys it, I would rather not make it for the time being, and let its super performance be dusted! But as long as a company or scientific research institution buys it, I believe other companies or scientific research institutions will definitely not be able to sit still. living!"

The bosses nodded. What Tang Xiaochuan said was actually equivalent to setting the tone. He would never sell it at a low price. No matter what he did, he had to sell it at a price higher than the price of the most powerful supercomputer of the Mei people, otherwise he would not only be sorry for it The quantum hegemony status, I am sorry to the scientists who have worked so hard to develop it!

At this time, Vice President He said: "Boss, I have an idea!"

"Say!" Tang Xiaochuan raised his hand.

Vice President He thought for a while and said: "The companies and scientific research institutions that contacted our group before will send people over in a few days? Let's entertain them first, and send people to test what price they can afford. If they If we can accept such a price, we will do this business with them, and if we find that it is impossible for them to agree to such a price during testing, then there is no need to continue!"

Tang Xiaochuan pondered for a while after listening to Vice President He's words, "I think it's okay, then I will leave this matter to Vice President He. I hope our group can take the initiative in this matter!"

"understand!"

Within two days, the four companies and scientific research institutions that had contacted Feitian Technology Group to purchase an optical brain smart machine all sent people to Binhai one after another, and Feitian Technology Group sent people to receive them warmly.

In the past few days, eight domestic research institutions and large technology companies have contacted Feitian Technology Group to inquire about purchasing an optical brain smart machine.

In addition to the inquiries from these eight research institutes and large technology companies, there are also [-] official research institutes and large private technology companies who have called to inquire about the purchase of an optical brain smart machine.

After receiving the report from the business department, Tang Xiaochuan understood that the heads of official research institutions and scientists in these countries knew the importance of owning an optical-brain smart machine, so they were eager to buy one.

These research institutes and other large-scale science and technology companies know that as long as there is an optical-brain smart machine, large-scale and complex data calculations and experiments that were previously unimaginable can be put into action. Solve many data calculation problems, because it takes even tens of thousands of years to get the results scientists want when calculating certain data with supercomputers, but it will be different if there is an optical brain intelligence machine, super It takes a computer 1 years to calculate the result, but it only takes a few tenths of a second!

What is this concept?It can make the impossible possible!
In the office, Tang Xiaochuan sat on the solid wood sofa and listened to Vice President He's report while making tea.

"Our reception staff had several conversations with the representatives sent by these four domestic companies, and they all secretly tried to find out. Based on the feedback and analysis, we estimate that only one research institution has the financial resources and determination to purchase optical computers. Wisdom [-] is an official scientific research institution. Because of the support of the imperial court, there is no problem in terms of purchasing power, and they are also very determined to buy the product back for large-scale calculations, but they must first verify the optical brain wisdom. The function of the model!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded and said: "Yes, let them verify, but be careful not to let our scientific researchers have too much contact with them!"

"understand!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked again: "What about the other three? And I heard that there are eight domestic and thirteen scientific research institutions abroad who are contacting us to inquire about this matter?"

"Yes!" Vice President He took a sip from the teacup, put down the teacup and said, "The other three and the eight domestic research institutions and technology companies that have called over the past few days, I feel that they are not firm enough to buy , with the scale and strength of these companies, I also doubt whether they are willing to spend so much money to purchase such a machine!"

"As for the thirteen foreign research institutions and large technology companies, most of them are official scientific research institutions of various countries. These research institutions are rich, and those large technology companies listed on the market are also rich. Their willingness to purchase machines is much stronger. I I think that one or two scientific research institutions in each country can give up the money to purchase such a machine, because this machine is a necessary equipment for more complex and large data calculations. Private private research institutions and small technology companies buy it. Forget it, but their officials will definitely buy one, no matter how high the price we set, they will have to admit it, and what they have to worry about now is whether we will sell it to them!"

Tang Xiaochuan drank tea and listened to Vice President He's report, "Well, your analysis is very reasonable. It seems that you have indeed done a lot of work in the past few days! In this way, in addition to Meiguo, Yingguo, Faguo, Deku Outside the country, other foreign scientific research institutions that have contacted us, you have arranged for someone to reply to them, saying that you can consider exporting to them, but please ask them to send someone to discuss the specific situation! In addition, these scientific research institutions sent people here Afterwards, we need to verify their identities, this is very important, don’t let people from Mei country pretend to be them, it’s not good if we sell the machine to Mei country again!”

Vice President He also knows that once this kind of thing happens, it will be a big deal. We must resolutely prevent this kind of thing from happening, and send someone to any representative of a foreign scientific research institution who is sent to their place. China's scientific research institutions and large enterprises to verify the identity, and go to their scientific research institutions and enterprises to verify the authenticity of their procurement intentions!
"Don't worry, boss, I will attach great importance to this matter, and I promise that there will be no mistakes!"

This morning, Tang Xiaochuan received another call from Vice President He.

"Boss, two days ago, the other eight scientific research institutions and technology companies that called in China to inquire about purchasing the optical brain smart machine also sent people over. When we quoted the price to them, three of them were scared away and thought that 80 billion is a sky-high price, it's too scary, they went straight home!"

"The other five companies thought about bargaining with us. They probably thought that we would raise the price on the spot, and then they could pay back the money on the spot!"

Tang Xiaochuan smiled and asked: "I don't bother to ask them that we are the counter-offer. What about the four technology companies and scientific research institutions that came earlier? Have you quoted the price to them?"

"Reported, three of them directly retreated, and the representative of the remaining official scientific research institution also wanted to bargain with us!"

Tang Xiaochuan thought about it and said: "Well, the other five want to bargain. Considering that they are domestic companies, 70 billion is the bottom line. You can negotiate as much as you want. As for the official scientific research institution, It is a one-off price, 70 billion to them, no matter it is this official scientific research institution or the other five, as long as a cooperation agreement is reached, a confidentiality clause must be added to the procurement contract, and they are not allowed to disclose any information related to the price to the outside world. In the event of a news leak, the amount of compensation must be unbearable for them. Otherwise, the news that the purchase prices of various enterprises and scientific research institutions are different will spread, and these enterprises and scientific research institutions will not be in trouble? How can we make money from foreigners? ?”
