Fight to the third generation

"computer."

Chu Jun casually replied.

I saw the driver who moved to Hong Kong City in the early years, proud and arrogant, talking brokenly: "It's just a computer. I can buy three for a month of driving. Don't be so careful. It's fine to put it in the trunk." , dirty the backseat and ask me to clean it."

After listening, Chu Jun happily replied:

"Three? You have been driving a car for 100 years, and you can't afford this computer. The research and development cost millions of dollars. I went to the United States to find experts to help optimize it. I bought a plane ticket for it just now, just for the time. Watch it right now, if you drop it in the trunk, you’ll pay for it?”

The taxi driver didn't know if it was true or not, he just kicked the gas pedal and started on the road as a bragging without drafting, so he asked:

"If it was so powerful, I would have arranged for a cash transport vehicle to pick you up long ago, and still use my taxi? Where are you going now? Please state in advance that the farther the distance, the more expensive the price. Taxi charges in Hong Kong City are very high."

Chu Jun didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he just replied, "You drive to Central first..."

On weekdays, I often come into contact with businessmen in Hong Kong City, and they are more polite than each other, especially Su Yehao. After getting along for so long, Chu Jun has never seen him lose his temper.

Just in response to the saying that a full bottle should not be moved and a half bottle should be shaken, on the contrary, ordinary people like to care about every detail, compare each other, and have narrow-minded eyes.

Since cooperating with Su Yehao, the total value of Chu Jun's shares in Yinhai Network Group has approached hundreds of millions of RMB. He not only bought a courtyard house at the root of the imperial city of Sijiu City, but also bought a Bentley.

Now being "rehired" by Su Yehao to help produce personal computers, the annual salary is about 300 million RMB. If you are lucky, you may even get some equity rewards. Properly successful people, of course, don't bother to argue with taxi drivers.

Chu Jun sat in the passenger seat, took out his mobile phone and called Su Yehao, and when he got connected, he said with a smile, "Boss Su! Where are you now? I've come to Hong Kong City to give you a surprise."

Su Yehao was on the other end of the phone, with a smile in his tone: "Don't send surprises, I just emailed Leibstone, he has already sold you, and he is about to ask where you have been, and wants me to send someone to pick you up? Ni Is the old gentleman here?"

"Haha, so that's how it is. You don't need to pick us up. We've already boarded the car. Mr. Ni originally wanted to come over, but he stayed in Baodao and Japan for too long, and he had a cold these days, so he entrusted the task of meeting you face to face. I."

"Okay, then you come directly to Big Wave Bay, I just received a dragon grouper, and I asked the chef to make a meal of boiled fish..."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Jun finished talking and went to the Su's house in Big Wave Bay. The driver was stunned, unable to react for a while, and asked, "Which Su's house, Shi'ao?"

"Who else can there be, Su Yehao?"

"..."

During the next journey, looking at the few people from the north in the car, the driver only felt that it was unfathomable.

At first, I thought it was likely to put money on my face. After sending the person to the destination, the taxi driver stopped and waited for a while, until he found that the three of Chu Jun were really let in by the security guard at the door, and then drove resentfully. Leave, feeling lost.

Over the past month.

The news related to Su Yehao kept coming, and the limelight was the same for a while.

People are even guessing who is richer between the Su family and the Lao Li family, the richest man in Hong Kong City.

Especially in the next two days, after Cyberport was picked by Su Yehao, this kind of discussion has become the talk of many people after dinner.

No matter who is richer, Su Yehao, who has only been in business for more than two years, can be compared with Lao Li in terms of family wealth, and he has already won by a large margin.

You know, Su Yehao is only in his early 20s...

In the living room of the mansion.

After Su Yehao, Chu Jun and others shook hands, they pointed to the box with a smile on their faces, and said, "I'll have someone pull a network cable over here, so let's dismantle it here. From the preparation at the beginning of the year to the present, the finished product has been finished so quickly?"

Chu Jun opened his mouth and replied:

"Assembling a computer is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in how to stand out and find our own characteristics, so Mr. Ni and the others spent a little more time, which also cost you a lot of money. Knowing that most users like to play games, so this advanced design , arranged for people to go to Silicon Valley to discuss, and got the test qualification of RIVA-TNT2 display chip, the latest product of Nvidia has not yet been listed."

Continuing to watch other people unboxing, Su Yehao wondered and asked, "Is the price of this display chip high? I know Nvidia, it seems to be quite powerful."

"It's okay. The price has not been announced for the time being. It must be cheaper to purchase in large quantities. We have considered that it is best to focus on two series of office and game, and arrange high-end and low-end. The price of office computers must be relatively low. Using this The price of a graphics card is a little more expensive, providing customers with different choices."

After Chu Jun finished speaking, afraid that Su Yehao would not understand, he continued to explain:

"Computer upgrades are too fast. The current mainstream ones are likely to become defective after two or three months when the products are launched. I have personally tested many computers on the market, and they can't run some new games at all, otherwise If we don’t do it, we must do our best, and we will exchange profits for allocation and give back to customers, which will definitely win word of mouth in one fell swoop.”

Seeing that he had explained so much, Su Yehao immediately smiled and said:

"Don't get me wrong, I think your ideas are right. Cheaper things don't necessarily mean lower quality. Even if the price is about the same as Liangxiang, we have higher configurations and are very competitive. The original intention is to only earn 5% per unit. No change, even lower."

With the padding removed, a prototype with a dark gray shell appeared in front of everyone. The screen was square and very simple...

……

Chapter 548 I Don't Think You're Poor, Don't Think I'm Low...

Take advantage of the housekeeper to get the socket and network cable.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Su Yehao first flipped through a thick stack of instructions.

Different from other manuals on the market, the one in his hand has more than [-] pages, indicating the simple production process, parts purchaser, market unit price, bulk purchase price, labor transportation cost and so on.

It is equivalent to a production manual. On the cover is written "Confidential Documents" in four big characters, and it is very considerately changed into traditional Chinese.

They thought it was taking care of Su Yehao's habit, but in fact it was superfluous.

Through the catalog section, it can be seen that Mr. Ni tried his best to use domestic parts, but the proportion is too small and the value is not high.

Seeing that the processor of the computer uses Pentium III, which uses 0.25 microns and a main frequency of 1.3GHz, Su Yehao was puzzled and asked: "Pentium III, Intel's latest flagship product, is it going to target the high-end market, should it be so extravagant? "

Chu Jun sat aside, took the teacup from Nangongtian himself, thanked him and explained:

"This computer is specially configured for you. I have someone calculate it. The cost is about 7000 RMB. The best accessories on the market are used. Of course, the price is a bit more expensive. Ordinary office computers are expected to use Intel. The Yang processor was just released on January [-] this year, and it focuses on the economical office and game markets. You can read the specific information at the back, and there are data on it.”

Su Yehao opened it according to the catalog.

He found out that the architecture of the so-called Celeron processor is the same as that of the second-generation Pentium, except that two L2 caches have been removed... He doesn't know much about this aspect. Anyway, the current processors are very pitiful in his opinion.

than the computer itself.

Su Yehao found it even more interesting that the processor used 0.25 micron, that is, 250 nanometer photolithography technology.

Computers are assembled, and no matter how well they sell, it is tantamount to helping upstream parts manufacturers conquer the city, expand the market, and earn some hard money from it.

However, the more backward the lithography machine technology is, the more time he will have for development, and it will be easier for him to survive in the next wafer foundry market. Facing this super big cake, even Su Yehao feels that the prospects are amazing. Much better than building a computer.

Look through this document carefully prepared by others.

Faced with so many data and professional terms, Su Yehao was dazzled for a while, and simply asked directly: "Put the document away, and I will read it in detail later when I have time. If a computer like this is put on the mainland market, you will probably sell it." How much? What about the simplified version?"

Chu Jun has been helping the project team this year.

In order to avoid attracting too much attention from Liangxiang Company, the company has not even been formally established. It only has the code name of "1999 Root Project". His position is tentatively designated as general manager. department.

Chu Jun was clear about Su Yehao's question, and answered decisively:

"I've also estimated this. If the same configuration is used, Liangxiang Company will sell for 6000 yuan, maybe a little more. Their company's net profit is very high, otherwise it would not be possible for the Hong Kong stock market to rise wildly." Yes. Computers imported directly from abroad, such as IBM, Dell, and HP, are more expensive, and the after-sales service is not very good.”

"Excluding the costs of sales, transportation, and publicity, if we sell a self-operated store for about 3000 yuan, the gross profit is 5 yuan. Excluding the costs of labor, rent, publicity, operation, and taxes, it is almost enough. [-]% net profit guaranteed.”

"We made this top-notch product mainly to show that the company has this strength. No matter how much it sells at that time, putting it in the store can enhance the brand image. It is estimated that about [-] units will be produced, and there should be many buyers."

"As for the mass-produced products, the low configuration can lower the price to about 9000, and the high configuration can reach more than [-]. This is already the price assembled in the computer city. It is impossible to use it at a lower price. Only by purchasing in large quantities can the accessories be sold. The price difference subsidy is on the product."

"However, compared with the assembled goods on the market, we can provide after-sales and quality assurance services. This is also an advantage, and no one can beat it..."

While listening to Chu Jun's introduction.

Su Yehao looked through the files again and found the parts data of the high-end version of the game computer that he planned to use for traffic.

It was found that the motherboard and optical drive of Huashuo were used, the graphics card came from Nvidia in the United States, and the hard disk was the [-]th generation of Quantum Fireball, which has not yet been launched. Compared with the previous generation, it has the same capacity and the price is lower.

In addition, it uses a MeiG 530 display and a Pentium III processor, but it is different from the one in front of him. In the gaming computer, the main frequency of the CPU is reduced from 1.3GHz to 1.0GHz. Compared with the price of 1.3GHz, A few hundred bucks cheaper.

An Intel processor costs more than 2000 yuan, and looking at the eighth-generation hard drive of Quantum Fireball, even if it is purchased in batches, it costs [-] yuan.

Nowadays, the demand in the global PC market is strong, and the parts on the market are out of stock everywhere, and the manufacturers don't have to worry about having no customers at all.

In terms of images, those who die from drought and those who die from floods are severely polarized. Skilled suppliers are particularly popular, and they work overtime to rush to produce.According to the data that Su Yehao learned, the global computer sales in the first quarter of this year increased by [-]% compared to the same period last year.

Backed by such good news, it's no wonder that Nasdaq technology stocks continue to rise.

It is currently a seller's market, so there is really no way to reduce the purchase price of parts, or else we can only use inferior replacement parts.

The low-end version of the office computer only costs more than 7000 yuan, which is very cheap in the market, lower than some assembled products.

For this reason, Chu Jun scratched his forehead and said guiltyly:

"Mr. Su, let me tell you the truth. Once this computer is on the market, we will be criticized by thousands of people. Even small vendors in the computer city may want to throw us to Shenjiang. Otherwise, add more , How about increasing the net profit to around 10%?"

Su Yehao smiled and told:

"What are you afraid of... The big deal is that the company will pay for you and hire two bodyguards for you. The original purpose is to promote the development of the Internet market in the mainland. Just feel the sincerity. The inflated market price of the computer industry in the mainland has hindered the development of companies such as TAT, TOT, and Yinhai. The scale of new users cannot keep up. "

"Well, how could I not know."

Chu Jun sighed, and continued: "It doesn't matter if the income is high outside, and the computer is more expensive, but the mainland is already poor, so if you increase the price casually, it will be more than some people's salary for one or two months, which limits the speed of Internet users' popularization. .”

The housekeeper brought the power strips and network cables, and Mr. Ni's students were busy completing the assembly and pressing the power button.

Su Yehao sat cross-legged by the coffee table, stared at the computer without blinking, and said with a smile:

"Then lower the threshold a little bit, just be able to surf the Internet and play a few small games, and the hard drive doesn't need to be too big, and you can sell it for 4000 yuan. We don't think these users have enough budget, and they don't want to dislike us. The products are too simple. In addition, I can’t afford a computer, and I can always afford the Internet fee of a few dollars. It’s a bit troublesome to open an Internet cafe by myself. It’s best to recruit franchisees in any city where broadband develops. , buy computers in bulk and get a discount."

The Windows 98 operating system interface was displayed on the screen. Su Yehao shook the mouse, and went directly to the browser to search for his company's software and install small games...

Chapter 549 Yellow Diamond...

The level of technological development is changing with each passing day.

The computer brought by Chu Jun and others uses many new products that have just been launched, and the pile of materials seems to be very solid.

In terms of user experience, it is a little more comfortable than the computer bought last year in the upstairs study, and the operation seems smoother.

Su Yehao asked Xiao Nizi to go upstairs to help bring the "Half-Life" game disc produced by Villefort.

After installing it through the optical drive, after a simple test, it was found that there was basically nothing wrong with it, except that the cooling fan whirred.

The performance of the processor is poor, and the heat is so high that it can be used to cover your hands. The heat dissipation noise is a common problem, and it is also the same with other computers when playing games.

The assembled product is fine.

This is thanks to Nvidia's graphics chip, and Intel's new Pentium processor, plus Microsoft's operating system, Huashuo's motherboard... and so on.

The parts are bought, and there is nothing to be particularly proud of.

On the contrary, the "Half-Life" game itself has sold millions of copies since its release last year.

In the second half of last year, Su Yehao casually invested in Valve Corporation, mainly because they are developing the No.1 shooting game, which is relatively promising.

Never thought.

As soon as this company's product was launched, before Su Yehao could help, it became popular all over the world and became one of the most popular games in the first half of this year.

After trying out the game, I found that Chu Jun and Mr. Ni's two students were staring at me eagerly.

Su Yehao felt that he should praise a few words, but he didn't know what to say after much deliberation, so he simply said:

"Not bad... The dark gray mainframe shell looks more atmospheric, and the lines on it are also very tough. If there is no problem, the flagship machine can be produced according to it. You can also open a few Internet cafes first to test it."

"As expected of a big boss, his head is turning faster than others! I also mentioned before opening a few Internet cafes in Sijiu City to attract people to test these computers online. Not only do you not need to spend money to hire people, but you can also earn some money during the test period. , kill two birds with one stone."

Chu Jun finished speaking with a smile.

Seeing that the business has almost passed the test, he was in the mood to praise the surrounding scenery.

"Cheap is cheap, high quality and low price is the right way. The entry-level cheap computer just mentioned, let's call it an educational version computer. The point is to tell parents that they can't play large-scale online games. They are mainly for learning to surf the Internet and use office work. The product, maybe it can also be used as a bright spot.”

Su Yehao sat cross-legged numb, stood up with his hands on the sofa, and continued:

"The income in the mainland is low, but the price of computers cannot go down. This situation should improve within a few years as suppliers release their production capacity. Then it will be the explosive period for mainland netizens. Since the price cut has touched other people's cakes , will inevitably be targeted. I think Mr. Chu, your face is not too thin. It just happens to be suitable for you to stand up and block the bullet hole. When the time comes, the task of publicity and marketing will require you to take a lot of trouble. I will guide netizens to stand up and support you, and the funds will be enough. ..."

"...You have seen all my thick-skinned secrets?"

After Chu Jun finished joking, he stated:

"When doing business, there is no way to offend others. The current market value of Mr. Ni's previous company is more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. Making money is easier than printing money. Shareholders are comfortable, but it limits the speed of Internet penetration. As the second Shareholders, who receive wages from the root plan, should shoulder the burden both emotionally and rationally."

At this time, a guy in his 20s surnamed Zhang next to him interjected nervously, "Well...Mr. Su, once the assembly line and parts are in place, the production will officially start. The product must have a name. The current root plan can't help it. Printing on the casing is not good for promoting the product."

He was obviously seven or eight years older than Su Yehao, but he seemed restrained.

There is no way, when I think of the young young master Su in the port city, who has a net worth of nearly tens of billions of dollars, the invisible sense of oppression rolls on.

For example, the house under his feet is worth more than the market value of countless listed companies, which is astonishingly luxurious.

heard.

Su Yehao nodded and told:

"Indeed, the code name of the root project is too ugly. I just established a green diamond real estate company a few days ago, otherwise... the computer company would be called a yellow diamond. It would be better to design a logo on the case. Well, gaming PCs have to be cool."
