Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

The big snow-covered Lincoln that drove up to Hongda at the Beijing Airport went straight to the Lenovo headquarters according to the map directions without stopping.

Brother Liang, who was holding a map to guide the way, began to miss the navigation system in the army. Gao Hongda comforted him and said, don't worry, in a few years, civilian navigation systems will be everywhere.

This also provided him with an inspiration. This field can also be transcended, but when he thought of the disputes over various navigation systems, he immediately gave up the idea. It is better to let big capital do this kind of thing. I am still willing to be a speculator. businessman making some easy money.

Lenovo's headquarters is majestic and looks like a large company, including the security guards at the door.

After the security guard asked the three people clearly what their purpose was, they decisively turned them away. The reason was that their company was determined not to use domestic parts, and they only used American parts. So I politely tell people: Get out!

With such a righteous attitude, I am afraid that Lenin would praise him a few words when he came: You are a good dog.

Seeing how serious and responsible he looked, I really couldn't bear to beat him, so Gao Hongda stuffed him with 20 yuan.

The security guard's expression was still very serious, his body stood straight, and he said sternly: "I am abiding by my duties as a security guard and will not let idle people disturb our production order! I will take you to us personally now product manager!”

Brother Liang shook his head slightly and sighed: Such evil money!

The product manager was very impatient at first and refused before anyone could speak. He said exactly the same thing as the security guard: All our accessories are imported from the United States! It's the most advanced! We do not cooperate with domestic companies.

When he saw the keychain-sized thing that the three people brought, his eyes suddenly lit up. He took out a sample and inserted it into his computer. After verifying the capacity, his attitude changed 180 degrees. He warmly greeted the three people to take a seat and personally Make tea and water, and actively ask three people for prices.

Gao Hongda set the price at 240 each, but the other party agreed without hesitation, praising the high quality and low price of domestic products. He also took out the USB flash drive he originally used and introduced that it was from Singapore's Terek Company. The product only has 128 MB of memory, but the price is as high as 450 yuan.

After Gao Hongda heard this news, he felt very unhappy: Grandma's, the asking price is going to be lower!

The demand from the other party was also amazing, and an order of 20 was placed in one go. This made Gao Hongda almost jump up with excitement and randomly asked when they wanted the goods. The answer is: immediately! Even the 5 samples they brought were kept and were not allowed to be taken away.

That attitude was like that of an old lady trying to grab free eggs in the supermarket, fearing that she would not be able to get a bargain if she started late.

The product manager also called all the production managers and asked them to immediately change the production plan. In the future, all computers produced would eliminate floppy disks, modify the front USB interface, and install a USB drive in the system. Even various meeting resolution procedures are omitted. It was so efficient that it was not even reported to superiors in advance.

Afterwards, the product manager explained that this floppy disk reader/writer is not cheap. Using the new USB flash drive can greatly reduce production costs. They will adopt a sales model of buying a computer and getting a USB flash drive. I have to admit that there are certain reasons why Lenovo can achieve the position of leader at this time. Take the speed of acceptance of new technologies by their company, which is unimaginably fast. This may be one of the reasons why they put forward the business philosophy of buying rather than building. Instead of wasting so much energy and financial resources on research and development, it would be faster to directly acquire the latest technology.

If Gao Hongda knew that Lenovo's sales this year accounted for more than 70% of the domestic market due to his sales behavior, he would slap his own mouth into pieces, because he directly helped this traitorous company become stronger.

The product manager also introduced Gao Hongda to their president, the famous Boss Liu, but he rejected him on the grounds that he was timid and was afraid that his legs would weaken when he saw big people. In fact, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist beating that guy again.

Lenovo's management just had a simple meeting and then directly issued a transfer check to them. The full price of 5000 pieces of goods plus a 60% advance payment. Those figures made Gao Hongda's eyes blurry. The money comes in faster than buying lottery tickets, and it's more reliable than gambling in Macau. The profit is as high as [-]%.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the [-]% profit margin was not high in the high-tech electronics field at that time. It was very easy for a nouveau riche to be satisfied if he could not stand it.

On the way back, the three of them were talking excitedly and incoherently. Even Director Cao, who was following the soy sauce, received [-] yuan in hard work. This student was so damn generous.

Yan Gaoliang, who wanted to go to Tangshan to work hard, even had the idea of ​​giving up his original plan and wanted to invest in some high-tech project. Unfortunately, he was even more rubbish than Gao Hongda. He was just a college student and a perverted soldier. .

Deng Guoshun and his colleagues were equally excited. After receiving the money, they immediately paid off all the outstanding debts, including the processing fees advanced by Gao Hongda, and used [-]% of the sales proceeds to continue research and development and speed up product upgrades.

Almost all workers at the electronics factory have returned to work, and production efficiency has increased rapidly. Not long after, the price of the originally expensive memory components continued to plummet, and the cost was reduced by nearly half. Just this one order from Lenovo made them a lot of money. What they didn't expect was that their product sales would reach an astonishing 5 million in the next three years, with the market covering the world.
