We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Far East Semiconductor Laboratory, Luo Nianzhong, Welch, Liang Jiadong, Zhang Rujing and others looked at the RYPC-100 computer in front of them with great anticipation and curiosity.

This is the latest masterpiece of Far East Group and will also become Honor’s next important profit growth point.

Compared to the other people in the heated discussion, Luo Nianzhong was much more rational. This computer was almost the same as the one he came into contact with in his previous life.

The monitor chosen was from Hitachi. Luo Niazhong immediately placed an order of 50 yuan, and asked the president of Hitachi to personally call Luo Niazhong to ask if he had placed the wrong order.

Because it is different from the bare display of arcade machines that you assemble yourself, this order is completely integrated.

After receiving Luo Nianzhong's affirmation, the Fuji Consortium immediately guessed that the Far East Group would make another big move.

This was also done intentionally by Luo Nianzhong. The more curious the other party was, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he was, the more interested he was in the matter of cooperation.

There are 500,000 monitors at the top. At first glance, it is no small product.

Is 50 units a lot? Luo Nianzhong knew that when the IBM PC was released, it expected to sell 25 units throughout the year, but IBM far underestimated the sales of its own products and sold out in less than five months.

Now the RYPC-100 is much more powerful than the IMBPC of that generation in both hardware and software, and its publicity will be more powerful than the IBMpc that was just released and was not taken seriously.

If he still can't sell more than 40 units a year, Luo Nianzhong should go back to making money in real estate.

In addition to the monitor, host and keyboard, RYPC-100 is also equipped with a mouse, but it is optional.

Before there was a graphical desktop operating system, the mouse was of little use. Luo Nianzhong added the option after considering that it might be a good choice to cooperate with the database and office developed by Far East Software.

And this is not the first patent of the Far East Group. The mouse was invented by Dr. Douglas of Stanford 15 years ago.

If it weren’t for the limited capabilities of this thing on today’s computers, and if computers weren’t very popular and they were all large computers used by institutions, do you think those capitalists would let go of this opportunity to make money?

The RYPC-100 chip is configured with the YRM 32-bit processor that has just been put into mass production, but it is also equipped with a 16-bit instruction set.

It is well compatible with 8-bit and 16-bit components and is a truly low-cost, low-power, high-performance processor.

Not to mention the 8086 processor that Intel just launched this year, the 80386 that pushed Intel to the altar is no match for YRM.

This is what Luo Nianzhong is happiest about, because starting from the mass production of YRM chips means that Far East Chip has officially become the most advanced company in CPU chips in the world, at least two to three years ahead of the industry.

In terms of heat dissipation, RYPC-100 adds fan heat dissipation to the host for the first time, which was also Luo Nianzhong’s suggestion.

The test machine at that time was hot to the touch after working for more than ten hours, and it also began to crash.

Although this was much more powerful than the microcomputers currently on the market, Luo Niianzhong was still dissatisfied, so he proposed the idea of ​​adding a fan, which later became more common.

As for the keyboard, it also abandons the current mainstream keyboard-host integrated structure.

This is also the most popular solution first. Apple and Grammo computers now all have this kind of keyboard-host integration.

As for the reason, there is no other reason than cost savings.

And in order to reduce the weight of the whole machine, especially the weight of the keyboard, Luo Nianzhong uses a lot of plastic and other products on the keys.

Even so, the weight of the entire machine still reaches eight kilograms.

Because of the added costs of his own ideas, Luo Nianzhong is not afraid at all. The wool comes from the sheep.

If the cost is increased by $50, he dares to raise the price by $100. If the cost is increased by US$100, he dares to raise the price by US$300.

High-end means expensive. The higher the high-end, the more expensive. Isn't this theory developed by companies in your beautiful country?

Different from the 8086MHZ frequency of Intel 4.7, the frequency of YRM processor reaches 8MHZ.

Therefore, we must rack our brains on heat dissipation. The two sides of the host are designed to be detachable to facilitate heat dissipation.

As for the operating system, according to Luo Nianzhong's original intention, he wanted to hand it over to Bill, and he could just hide behind it and be a major shareholder behind the scenes.

Then you would think that when Luo Nianzhong asked someone to find him, the other party was not interested and rejected him immediately.

Thinking "boy, don't regret it", Luo Nianzhong directly asked Far East Software Laboratory to design one.

This is quite simple. I directly purchased a system developed by a Stanford doctor based on DOS and improved it to become the current YD-DOS operating system.

In the future, after Luo Nianzhong develops and expands the Far East Systems Company, he will use it to win over people from all parties and form a huge network of interests.

I believe that if this is the case, the beautiful country will have no reason to launch an antitrust investigation against him, right?

In terms of memory, thanks to the development and price reduction of island manufacturers in this area, RYPC-100 has launched two versions, namely the main 64K memory version and the high-end 256K memory version.

Especially 256K memory, because it has just been released, the price remains high, almost 64 times the price of 6K memory.

Luo Nianzhong also handed over this part of the order to Hitachi, which currently does not have much market share.

It can be said that Hitachi has a lot of benefits in the computers developed by Far East Company.

It also makes Hitachi more urgent to join the Far East Group and wants to completely bind this large customer.

"How are the video output and power transformer improvements going?" Luo Nianzhong asked.

"In terms of video output, PAL mixed video output mode and NTSC mixed video output mode have been developed. In terms of power supply, we are now modifying the 110V voltage version."

The voltage on Hong Kong Island continues to be the British 230V voltage. In fact, it is similar to the 220V voltage we are familiar with and is basically universal.

The voltage in beautiful countries and some other countries is 110V.

The same goes for video output, which is basically divided into two categories.

There are PAL formats currently used in Hong Kong Island, and NTSC formats led by the United States, so the Far East has to provide different solutions to these two different situations.

Not only the Far East Group, but all groups deal with it this way.

Overall, Luo Nianzhong was satisfied with the RYPC-100, not to mention the other people, who had seen such advanced computers.

Welch, in particular, proposed the group's electronic reform after looking at databases and offices.

“After this batch of products comes out, they will be distributed to various companies in the group first. From now on, they will all be processed electronically and digitally.

This will also provide us with more convenience and save more time in our future work.

The group can organize an internal computer learning class so that employees who don’t know how to do it can use their free time to learn for free.

Let’s focus on half a year, and those who learn it will receive a symbolic reward, such as 500 Hong Kong dollars.

Those who fail to learn will be given a warning and will be dismissed directly after half a year."

Luo Nianzhong has no objection to Welch's decision. This is the trend in the future.

Moreover, the Far East Group is mostly composed of technical personnel. Many people do not need to learn at all. Many administrative staff and management personnel have been exposed to it. It is not difficult for all of them to have a high degree of education. There is nothing that they cannot learn.

Since you have a high salary and high benefits, you must keep pace with the times, not just for old age.

After Liang Jiadong agreed, Luo Nianzhong said, "Change all Honor's factories into computer production lines, and hand over other products to the foundry in Pengcheng."

After seeing Liang Jiadong nod, Luo Nianzhong asked again, "What about the cost?"

"Because they are all brother companies and manufacturers we have been cooperating with, all materials are basically at the lowest price in the industry. The cost of the 64K version is around US$750, and the cost of the 256K version is around US$860."

After understanding the cost price, Luo Nianzhong turned to look at Welch, clearly asking for his opinion on pricing.

Welch also knew what Luo Nianzhong meant, and after thinking for a while, he said, "How about $1499 or $1799?"

Luo Nianzhong thought about the price and shook his head, "The profit is too low, so just set it at 1699 US dollars and 1999 US dollars."

Luo Nianzhong's pricing shocked Welch. He felt that his pricing was high enough and he had doubled the profit.

Unexpectedly, Luo Nianzhong was still dissatisfied and set a higher price.

He didn't know that if Luo Nianzhong wasn't trying to squeeze out other brands, he would have thought this price was too low.

For the same configuration, the hardware part of other computer manufacturers costs nearly US$1000. What about the software part? Without Office and database, would any company buy your computer?

Want to buy? Can.

It’s not expensive to charge you $99 for each piece of software, right? Coupled with the high labor costs of Beautiful Country, what profit do they have?

Even if they don't want it, the cost will still be passed on to the customer.

Once the second-generation computers are released and the price of RYPC-100 is reduced, the entire high-end and high-end computer market will be dominated by Honor.

As for the low end, forget it, right? Not to mention the shoddy manufacturing to keep costs down.

Do you think the Chinese invented the one that connects a keyboard to a TV?
