One hundred and forty-seven
Although the reputation of Sitong is not obvious, but there is a big boss for a long time as the backstage, and the people of the Sitong opening industry alliance are all coming to cheer, and there are some market leaders for a while.
Therefore, all the 500,000 yuan of funds were invested in the development by Wang Jizhen, and a large number of troops were recruited, and in just two weeks, it became the largest company in Zhongguancun.
There are many people and there are many benefits, anyway, I have promised them for a long time, and there are only 500,000 typewriters to develop, but as long as it is an eye-catching character that Wang Ji looks at, it doesn't matter how much money is 'spent' or how many people are recruited.
With this long-term promise, Wang An was naturally lenient to 'spend' money, and those frustrated technicians in research institutes and universities were really deceived by his 'flower' words, and everyone came to Sitong with the dream of doing a career, and became Wang Jizhi's subordinate generals.
The funds are endless, and there is no way out, Wang Jizhi began his legendary career with more than a dozen fierce generals, and almost miraculously launched the first generation of Sitong products in just two months - Sitong 2013 typewriter.
According to the current perspective, in addition to the keyboard, this is simply a copy of the Nintendo red and white machine, in addition to the word processing function, there is no other ability, with the 021 processor as the central processing basis, its display screen can only support two lines of Chinese character display, external OKI model printer, can print any Chinese file.
Due to the simplification of components, this unprecedented typewriter was only sold for 4,500 yuan, without a monitor, and only needed an eight-pin printer to form an office system, and the budget within 10,000 yuan was a big deal for all potential customers at that time.
Wang An was the general manager of Sitong at the time, and in his concept, he only waited for Wang Ji's products to be sold in various stores in Zhongguancun as soon as they came out. smiled for a long time to stop, but 'spent' a small amount of money, and bought advertisements for a short time on CCTV, which was humble at the time, and vigorously promoted the Sitong 2013 typewriter.
The advertisements were very luxurious, containing elements such as foreigners, white-collar workers, modern offices, etc., and those subtitle advertisements at that time were called clouds, and for a time almost everyone who could see TV in China was talking about this little-known Sitong company, as well as the typewriter that was said to be more than ten times cheaper than a computer.
The strength of TV is not enough, and the long-term experience of brain X gold bombardment naturally can't stay at this level, so as long as the newspapers and magazines in the country are counted, all the newspapers and magazines have fallen, and advertising is still secondary, but the hateful thing is that Wang An has been instructed for a long time to buy some gunmen at a high price, and he shamelessly writes articles to advocate for the Sitong typewriter, and the *** power is so powerful that the products with similar functions can't raise their heads.
Wang An is deeply affected, originally Wang An company entered China in 82 years, and its office electronic products are equal to the 0521 computer.
In 83 years, Wang An's plan is to completely end the life cycle of 0521 and complete the unification of the office machine Chinese market, never thought of killing a four-way halfway, not only supporting Wang An's company is not good at the field of Chinese printing, the price is also cheap to death, in just two months, in the Chinese word processing market has completely replaced the aging 0521 machine, and even its own office machine market has shrunk a lot.
Although Wang An China looks down on this new little brother, he still dissects the Sitong product and tries to find out the secret of its cost. It's not nothing, with the strength of Wang An's company, it is still easy to imitate Sitong's products, but the mainland market is not valued by Wang An's American headquarters at all, and there is no response, and Wang An's Chinese branch has no production capacity, so it can only stare at Sitong's continuous expansion of production capacity, and make a lot of money.
In fact, it is not to blame Wang An's company for being slow to react, he is also in trouble. Wang An made his fortune with magnetic ring memory, and reached the pinnacle of office machines with word processors, even IBM was ignored. At that time, the mainstream of the market was developed countries in Europe and the United States, and they were one step earlier, encountering the transition period of the late 70s and early 80s, when a large number of cheap and efficient computers entered the commercial field, and people's demand for word processors naturally shrank.
Wang An is not an idle person, he also saw this vigorous microcomputer market, and the success of Apple and IBM has 'stimulated' his determination to enter it. Therefore, as the master of this office machine market, Wang An also decided to develop a microcomputer with the intention of getting a piece of the pie.
Like those traditional computer companies, Wang still thinks about how to make his product design unique, so that he can make more money than others can imitate.
It's a pity that the era of hardware monopoly has passed, Wang An's decision is to isolate himself from the people, and Wang An's microcomputer, which has been developed with a lot of money and time, is not compatible with the mainstream market, and it is a mess.
At this time, Wang An's main "fine" efforts were on developing new products, and he had no time to take care of his own market in China, so Sitong typewriter sold a large number of machines with his own 'operation' method that was extremely suitable for Chinese habits and a price close to that of cabbage, establishing the first brand of Chinese word processing machines.
Sitong 2013 Chinese typewriter can be said to be poor in 'sex', with many bugs, and can only meet the needs of very general Chinese texts. But its price is cheap, as long as you buy an OKI printer that is also cheaper than Toshiba, you can assemble an office system, and the price of 10,000 to 50,000 is better than even a fool who knows which product to buy.
Wang An is also a capable person, but the first time at the helm is orderly, although the huge market demand makes him dumbfounded, but it is not 'chaotic' at all, development, production, shipment, reinvestment, all means are in order. If you want to say why Sitong can develop so much, Wang An is indispensable, it is even more MBA than MBA, and it can be regarded as a reckless hero.
