Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

As soon as the press conference ended, Wujiang Group became very busy.

Major computer manufacturers at home and abroad have come to discuss cooperation.

The media also sent reporters to interview, wanting to know the story behind the Imagine motherboard.

In short, Wujiang Group is once again popular in China, but this circle is a little smaller. After reading the news reports, ordinary people just smile with relief and do not really understand what a motherboard is. But for computer practitioners, Wujiang Group has undoubtedly achieved another success An amazing feat.

"Boss, all the 3 pieces of Imagine motherboards we prepared in advance have been sold out!!!" At this time, Liu Yinyin hurried into Zhao Ye's office and said loudly, out of breath, and her bulging chest seemed to burst. As if open, looking from Zhao Ye's perspective, it seemed that he could still see a large area of ​​snow.

"Why are you in a hurry? Take a rest. I know about this. It seems that the Imagine motherboard is very popular."

Zhao Ye smiled and poured a glass of water for his secretary.

"Boss, do you want to notify the factory to expand production quickly?" Liu Yinyin took a sip of water and suggested in a low voice.

At the factory, the daily production capacity is 3000 Imagine motherboards. Working overtime, there is no problem in producing 5000 motherboards per day. If the technology becomes proficient, the output will increase.

"No need." Zhao Ye waved his hand, not intending to blindly expand production.

The annual output of Imagine motherboards exceeds one million pieces.

Domestic motherboard sales are estimated to be only 50,000 to 60,000 units a year.

It is simply a miracle that one million motherboards can be sold abroad. It is unimaginable.

In fact, Zhao Ye would be satisfied if he could sell three to four hundred thousand Imagine motherboards.

Right now, basically no motherboard can compete with the Imagine motherboard, so the Imagine motherboard is very expensive.

The price of a computer has now dropped to around 1.5.

The Imagine motherboard from Wujiang Group sells for 3000 yuan. Isn’t that excessive?

In 1985, 1 U.S. dollar could be exchanged for 2.9366 yuan.

The price of the Imagine motherboard in the United States is US$999, which is almost 3000 yuan. Because it has to pay tariffs, Wujiang Group seems to be making less money. But in fact, by earning foreign exchange from exports and with state subsidies, Imagine motherboard’s profits are higher than at home.

It’s not that we don’t want to sell it more expensively. No matter how expensive it is, Americans will have to be willing to buy it.

At present, the price of a high-end product in an IBM-PC in the United States is only three to four thousand US dollars.

Intel chips are only $400.

As a top-level motherboard, the Imagine motherboard can be sold for $999, which is close enough to the nature of capitalists.

Generally speaking, high-end machines can build a company's reputation, so even if the Imagine is sold at such a high price, many PC manufacturers are still willing to pay for it.

If IBM buys it but HP doesn't, does HP Computer still want to compete with IBM-PC? Will it leave the outside world with the impression that HP computers are a low-end PC brand?

The same is true, which leads to the Imagine motherboard forcing the big manufacturers in the United States to rush to buy it.

……

A few days later, the Imagine motherboards were shipped to all parts of the country.

Domestic PC manufacturer bosses are fast, and every second counts. As soon as the goods arrive, workers are immediately arranged to assemble them.

Since the Imagine motherboard is compatible with IBM-PC, most common electronic components on the market can be installed on it.

5 month 25 number.

The first computer equipped with the Imagine motherboard was sold in China.

As the saying goes, "The wool comes from the sheep." Imagine motherboards are expensive, so PC manufacturers will naturally increase prices.

Originally, the price of domestic microcomputers has dropped to 1.5 yuan, but computers equipped with Imagine motherboards have been directly raised to 2 yuan by unscrupulous businessmen. Many people are happy with this crude method of cutting leeks.

Zhao Ye, a young capitalist, would probably shed tears when he saw him.

Shenzhen Huaqiangbei Electronics Market.

"How can I sell this computer?"

"Twenty thousand dollars!"

"Lesbian, don't fool me. How can an assembled computer be sold for 5000 yuan? Didn't it cost yuan before? Now it has suddenly increased to yuan!!" Wang Xiaoba said angrily Looking at the saleswoman in front of me, although she is beautiful, she is not kind at all when doing business.

Wang Xiaoba works in the Planning Bureau. He has learned how to use the Imagine typewriter and barely knows a little bit about computer technology. The company recently wanted to purchase a batch of computers, so he was given the task to take charge of it.

He originally thought that the assembled computer would only cost 2 yuan, but he never imagined that the assembled computer was sold for yuan!

The saleswoman must be trying to kill her? no way!

It’s not like I haven’t inquired about the price of the assembled machine before, so how could I be deceived?

The saleswoman slowly explained at this time: "The reason why it is so expensive is because our product uses the world's top motherboard, which is a high-end product!"

"The world's top motherboard, what high-end products, what a liar! With my IQ, can I be deceived by you? These rhetoric are just a set of words from you salesmen. Give me the real price, 14,000 Sell ​​it or not?!" Wang Xiaoba pouted.

The salesman shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sir, I really didn't lie to you. This computer uses the Imagine motherboard developed by Wujiang Group. A few days ago, Wujiang Group held a press conference and released the Imagine motherboard. At that time, many foreigners were competing for it. We rushed to buy Imagine motherboards, and even the Chinese person in charge of IBM, the overlord of the computer industry, said yes! Our company also managed to grab a batch of Imagine motherboards with great difficulty!"

Wang Xiaoba is a loyal user of Imagine typewriter. When he heard that the motherboard was also developed by Wujiang Group, he was immediately in awe and secretly said, "Wujiang Group is indeed the most famous technology company in China. It is amazing!"

Immediately, Wang Xiaoba quickly asked what was so great about the Imagine motherboard.

The saleswoman had already memorized the information about the Imagine motherboard by heart. She immediately picked it up and introduced the Imagine motherboard to Wang Xiaoba in detail.

Half an hour later, Wang Xiaoba walked out of the store with the order receipt.

It smells so good... (It’s the computer assembled with the Imagine motherboard that smells so good, not the saleswoman. Readers, please don’t misunderstand. I’d like to state this in advance)

There are many people like Wang Xiaoba across the country.

All in all, sales of computers equipped with Imagine motherboards are pretty good.

The common people have no money, but the work units have money, so of course they have to buy good and expensive things.

……

At this time, all the major motherboard manufacturers who heard about the Imagine motherboard felt panicked.

Then I got the Imagine motherboard as soon as possible and conducted various tests and research on it.

As a result, everyone found that the Imagine motherboard was much better than their own motherboard.

Baodao MSI Technology Co., Ltd.

Xu Xiang, Huang Huangqing, Lin Wentong, You Xianneng, and Lu Qilong looked at each other in confusion, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

"How about we change the direction? Stop developing computer motherboards?" Lin Wentong tentatively asked everyone.

Xu Xiang glared at Lin Wentong and said, "If we don't develop computer motherboards, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?"
