Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste
Chapter 407 No. 1
When Ye Chuan saw the sales data, he was also somewhat surprised:
"Kuizi, is the amount on this report in our Chinese currency?" Kuizi said with a smile: "Of course it's in our money!"
The meaning behind this number is immediately clear: on the first day of listing, the actual revenue from that island country plus the pre-order deposit reached a huge amount of 1.68 million yuan!
"The high-tech industry really makes so much money," he exclaimed.
In just one afternoon, Feifan Group sold more than 60,000 computers...
One month later, with the receipt of the full balance, the total revenue will exceed RMB 5.28 million!
The revenue from the market of this small island country alone is so impressive, no wonder Bill can become the world's richest man. The news of the listing of the Viva Group computer immediately caused an uproar within Microsoft **.
The day before the launch, Microsoft executives made a special trip to the small island nation. When they saw the launch scene, they were shocked: 10,000 existing models were sold out in an instant, and all subsequent orders were pre-orders.
Microsoft itself has also ordered 100 devices and plans to send them back to Microsoft headquarters in China for detailed research. They can't believe that a Chinese company can independently manufacture computer chips and even have its own Qiyuan operating system.
Since they had never seen the source code of the Qiyuan system, Microsoft engineers unanimously believed that it must be based on improvements to Windows.
They are eager to find any evidence to prove this, because such a discovery could be a heavy blow to Qiyuan. Microsoft has deeply felt the threat posed by the Extraordinary Group:
A USB flash drive plus a computer has captured at least $100 million in market share. If it is not stopped, Microsoft's long-standing dominance will no longer exist.
Bill and his team of Microsoft executives would not sit idly by and watch this happen. They were determined to find the weakness of Feifan Group and completely defeat this Chinese high-tech company. In terms of operating systems, Microsoft must maintain its monopoly.
Although hardware production is not impossible to replicate, the core hardware components also need to be controlled by Microsoft.
Bill made a strong announcement at the board meeting: "We must win the battle against Extraordinary Group. This is the key to the survival of our company."
After weeks of waiting, Microsoft finally received the physical model of the extraordinary computer. As soon as the machines arrived at the headquarters, they were immediately sent to the engineering department for detailed disassembly and research.
But when the case was opened, the sight in front of them surprised everyone: the processor, motherboard and hard drive were all products designed by the Feifan Group itself, and almost all the main components were produced by Feifan itself.
Only a few minor components are processed by outsourced factories, but they have low technical barriers and are relatively easy to copy.
Faced with this situation, Microsoft executives looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Viva Group's independent research and development capabilities in the chip field dealt them a heavy blow, almost wiping out Microsoft's leading position in the global computer market.
After the technician turned on the computer and used the Qiyuan system for the first time, the last bit of luck in his heart disappeared: the complexity of the operating system far exceeded that of the chip.
Although Germany, Japan, Japan, and South Korea can manufacture high-quality chips, they have made no achievements in the field of operating system development. Even if they force themselves to create a system, it is often full of loopholes and eventually forced to be abandoned.
On the contrary, the Qiyuan system is a mature and stable work. After undergoing a variety of complex operation tests, it did not show any flaws or loopholes.
Microsoft's top engineering team is working hard ** Qiyuan [Too much sensitive content, unable to continue output]
"Bill, was the Qiyuan system really created by **?" Bill nodded seriously.
"Yes, the Qiyuan system is indeed not developed based on Windows, but is independently developed by **, and is more complete, scientific, and easy to use than our system!"
"My God!"
The shareholders on the board of directors looked desperate.
Even though they don't understand technology, they understand economics.
At present, Feifan Computer has not caused fluctuations in the secondary market, but if Bill's words are true,
In the next few days, Microsoft's stock will definitely be hit in the secondary market and may even collapse.
"Bill, do we have any way to deal with this?" Bill neither shook his head nor nodded.
"I don't know! We could make two or three updates to Windows and it might be able to outperform Qiyuan."
Just as the board members breathed a sigh of relief, Bill continued:
"However, I don't know what the Extraordinary Group will do next. If they can also launch a higher version of the system, it will be a disaster for Microsoft!"
The directors knew Bill was not exaggerating.
If Feifan Group surpasses Microsoft in technology, it will be a huge disaster both in the market and in terms of stocks.
Bill continued, "The current version of Qiyuan system is 1.01.006! This means they have made six updates. I estimate that they still have at least four more versions to update. If Microsoft can make five versions of updates, maybe we can still be at a disadvantage in technology."
“How long will it take?” the directors mentioned as their biggest concern.
"Six months. We need to ensure that the Feifan Group does not have any new technological breakthroughs within these six months!"
Everyone understood that this was just Bill's beautiful vision and was almost impossible to achieve.
Since Feifan Group has launched the entire machine, it is actually declaring war on Microsoft.
How could a high-tech company be overtaken by its rival after gaining an advantage? The current situation is that Microsoft is in the limelight while Feifan is in the dark.
In fact, Bill greatly underestimated the strength of the Extraordinary Group.
As long as Ye Chuan is willing, he can make not only five versions, but even fifty versions.
If he used up all his technical reserves, in the next forty years, even if Feifan Group no longer developed technology, the Qiyuan system would still be the most advanced system in the world. This is the difference between a genius and a time traveler. Even the most genius person cannot predict the future.
The combination of the traverser and the system is itself an almost invincible existence.
As long as Ye Chuan is willing, he can control the rhythm of almost any business competition. Within ten years, Huade Group will become the most ** company in the world, without a doubt.
But Ye Chuan knew that he couldn't go too far.
If too many industries are involved, too many enemies will be created, leading to a situation of joint encirclement and suppression.
His goal is to rely on the huge Chinese market to gradually penetrate the technology of so-called developed countries.
They were once controlled by others, but now it is their turn to control others. The emergence of extraordinary computers is just the beginning.
When the curtain of the Internet era was about to open, he aspired to become the only leader in the global Internet field.
As complete computers became increasingly popular in Japan, Ye Chuan decided to expand production and set up branches of the Feifan Group in the ** and European markets.
Especially for the ** market, he set up five branches at one time: covering computer manufacturing, instant messaging tools, search engine technology, e-commerce platform construction and video website construction, aiming to seize the competitive advantage of Internet interfaces in many aspects.
This move in the US shocked Microsoft's top management. In addition, the group also set up a special game development branch in Japan.
In view of the low user base of computers in the domestic Chinese market, Ye Chuan is more inclined to explore the international market.
It is expected that by the end of the 90s, with the gradual development of the domestic market, the focus of overseas subsidiaries will gradually return.
Several overseas institutions developed well and quickly launched mature products, an achievement that shocked the entire Microsoft corporation.
As a true IT expert, Bill Gates knows how difficult it is to create a product from scratch. Unless the company itself has a deep accumulation of technology, this is almost inexplicable. But he knows that China has always been regarded as a technologically barren land.
If we have to give an answer, it would be that Ye Chuan has been focusing on the computer field since the 80s, but this is obviously unrealistic because the Internet did not even exist at that time.
To Bill, the question was fraught with mystery.
Nevertheless, considering the competitive situation between the two companies, he could not go to China directly to ask Ye Chuan.
This situation made Bill deeply depressed, and all Microsoft employees were shrouded in this anxiety.
Previously, they had almost no competitors, and that loneliness has now been replaced by fierce competition.
The emergence of a new rival that was not only powerful but also surpassed Microsoft in just two years put tremendous pressure on the board of directors.
In 94, China welcomed the first year of the popularization of personal computers. Feifan Group established representative offices in ten cities in China.
After the Spring Festival holiday, the representative office attracted the first batch of sharp-eyed and innovative clients.
Most of them have a high educational background, and some are even members of the first wave of people who started their own businesses after returning from studying abroad.
A game developed by ** attracted the attention of these people, who saw business opportunities in it.
So they went to the Feifan Group's representative offices across the country and expressed their need to purchase a batch of computers for the gaming business.
Even the shrewd Ye Chuan was quite surprised to learn this information.
It was not until his assistant Yu Lan showed him a magazine that he learned that EA had released a strategy game called "Command and Conquer" (also known as "Red Alert"), which quickly won the love of young people for its extremely high fun.
Ye Chuan was suspicious, remembering that in his previous life, Command & Conquer should have been released in 1995. How come it was released a year earlier in this world?
Could it be related to Feifan Group? Was this game released a year earlier because of the "butterfly effect"? Ye Chuan knew its importance.
This game will mark the advent of the era of Internet cafes in China. Before that, Internet cafes were usually called computer rooms. Due to the demand for domestic sales, Ye Chuan offered domestic customers a price lower than the Japanese market. Users who purchased more than 10 units could enjoy a preferential price of 6000 yuan.
Such a fair price was soon followed by a flood of orders. In just one month, avant-garde consumers in big cities had purchased more than 6000 computers. At that time, the average worker earned only to yuan a month, so yuan was roughly equivalent to two years of work income.
