Chapter 146: Hot Sale Out of Stock

"Why don't you leave the train yet!" On the train from Taiyuan, Jin Province to Beidu, a young man dressed in simple clothes frowned and looked at his watch, and whispered anxiously.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite the young man asked, "Friend, I see that you are quite familiar, you are from the south gate of Caida and Xin Computer, right?"

The young man was surprised: "You know me?"

The middle-aged man smiled: "I'm from the speed of light upstairs next door, do you also go to the Northern Capital?"

The young man had a look of sudden realization and said with a smile: "Yes, I'll go buy the goods." ”

The middle-aged man smiled thoughtfully: "It's not going to go into the imagination, right?"

The young man was stunned in his seat and blinked: "How do you know?"

The middle-aged man squeezed out a smile and said eloquently: "Me too, this graphics card is selling so well, Jin Province is now out of stock, and the northern capital has not been able to ship it for a long time, what a delay in time! I have several customers waiting to ask for it! I heard that there are a few stores in Zhongguancun that are wide and have not been out of stock, so I will go there to take a look." ”

When the young man heard that the other party was for the same purpose, he hurriedly said "Hi": "Isn't that the case! This graphics card is hot now, at first my price was only 980, and then it jumped directly to 1280, and now it is up to 1700 a piece!"

As the saying goes, the same road is like a distant relative, and the middle-aged man also opened the conversation: "Let me tell you, in fact, imagine that the supply price of this graphics card to the franchisee is only 850, but these grandsons are now crazy about hoarding goods, especially the bosses in the south, who take tens of thousands of goods and sell them at a high price." ”

The young man was surprised, shook his head and sighed: "Damn, no wonder the price of the goods has risen again and again! At first, I could still get the goods from Xu Laosan, the general agent of Changxiang Taiyuan, but later Xu Laosan himself was out of stock." Now the goods on the market are mail-ordered through the southern road of GuΓ². ”

As he spoke, the young man handed a cigarette to the middle-aged man, who lowered his head and lit the cigarette in the young man's hand, raised his head and took a puff: "I also heard that there are two big agents in Zhongguancun who are currently under the pressure of imagination, and they supply to the market in limited quantities and at a low price every day, and I heard that there are only 50 pieces a day." The two add up to only 100 shots.

The young man nodded again and again: "I'm going to Zhongguancun this time, I want to try my luck." There is no way, there are several orders in my hand, and the customer asks for this graphics card. ”

The middle-aged man also nodded: "Not really." I'm the same, I have more than a dozen machines entrusted by customers in my hands, I have to have this graphics card, otherwise I will be in Taiyuan and wait for the market to drop steadily. ”

Young people have a great feeling of meeting a soulmate: "Hey, yes, this graphics card is too strong." Which is this graphics card.,It's a co-processor.,I'm obedient!386 is installed as 486,486 is installed as 586,AMD and Cerix's CPU at the same frequency are matched with this card,The performance exceeds that of Intel Pentium。 ”

The middle-aged man spit out a smoke ring, and said: "Yes, the performance is strong, I use a 386 with this graphics card as a display machine in my store, and the four megabytes of memory can actually put VCD! It's a god!"

The young man said: "Yes! This software is very good, it never gets stuck when reading bad discs! It will automatically skip frames! The Youying Overlord coprocessor on this graphics card and this QQ super solution software were both invented by a company called Chongguang Company, and this is still a Chinese company!"

The middle-aged man took a heavy puff of cigarette: "China's computers were not too bad before, and if you want to say that you are down, it is a matter of more than ten years, but now that such a good company has come out, it will definitely be able to make a comeback." ”

The young man agreed: "Of course, it is good to have domestic enterprises, but now I hope to solve the problem of supply as soon as possible, imagining that the shipment is so slow, and the market will be occupied by foreigners sooner or later." ”

……

Just after the August 1st Army Day, imagine the senior management meeting. Yang Yunqing, Assistant President, reported: "...... We imagine that we are currently in the graphics card market, relying on the sudden emergence of Changxiang Tianteng LX100, it only took half a month to complete the shipment of 100,000 pieces in July. Our graphics card factory in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, started 24 hours a day during this time, and worked overtime to complete the manufacturing task of 100,000 yuan, which is very valuable......"

Chairman Liu Chengzhi asked: "When will the next batch of chips arrive? I heard that the LX100 on the market has been fried crazy, and the retail price has broken 2000, which is even more expensive than the CPU! But in the long run, it can damage our brand image. ”

Yang Yunqing said: "Wang Lili, president of Chongguang Company, has assured me this morning that the first batch of 100,000 pieces of the second batch of 300,000 pieces of Youying Overlord will arrive in Hong Kong next Monday, and it is estimated that all the procedures will be completed and shipped to Huizhou on Wednesday." ”

Liu Chengzhi said: "Be fast, seize the market opportunity, the sales performance of the last batch of 100,000 pieces is really exciting, this is a profit of 27 million, it is easy to get it, where in the world is there such a profitable business." ”

Hearing this, the executives at the conference table nodded their heads.

Wang Minzhi, director of the project development department, said: "In the past, we imagined that we had also made graphics cards, and we shipped less than 10,000 graphics cards every month, which was less than one-third of the motherboard. Our products are good workmanship, good materials, good quality, high cost, of course, the profit is correspondingly thin, compared with the goods of some electronics factories in Hong Kong and Taiwan and even in the south in the compatible machine market, it is not possible to take any advantage at all, so we basically launch a graphics card every year, and even push one in two years, if it were not for the success of Tianteng LX100, we would have wanted to give up this business, the graphics card is too difficult to do, too not to make money. ”

Liu Chengzhi said: "At this time and that time, the strategy of withdrawing from the graphics card market within three years set at the meeting at the beginning of last year now seems to be wrong, and the graphics card business cannot be abandoned! Judging from the current trend, the combination of graphics card and coprocessor is about the general trend, and I think this is a new product, which is worth digging." ”

Yang Yunqing echoed: "The chairman is right, we didn't expect the graphics card to be able to do this before, and now it seems that Chongguang Company has provided us with a new idea, which can greatly increase the added value of the graphics card, and I think the development department should strive to expand from this idea, and strive to launch more new multi-functional graphics cards as soon as possible." ”

Wang Minzhi, director of project development, said: "We are already working on this, around the Youying Overlord coprocessor, we are going to develop three more graphics card products, mainly to distinguish the grade by the size of the video memory, and we also plan to develop two motherboard products, plus the existing design, a total of three." However, for now, the biggest obstacle in front of us is the supply problem of Chongguang, which is severely affecting the progress of our project. ”

Yang Yunqing frowned: "I ordered 300,000 pieces from Chongguang this time, and it is estimated that their dollar quota will be exhausted, and then they want to put in the film, it is estimated that they will have to propose to us to exchange for dollars, and I estimate that they can kill their offer well, at least 10% or even 20% lower." ”

Liu Chengzhi blinked, and said with some embarrassment: "Yunqing, don't mention this bargaining matter for the time being, after all, the current sales situation is very good, and there is no need to have conflicts with suppliers." ”

Yang Yunqing was anxious, thinking that you wanted me to talk to Hu Yiting last time, why did you change your hexagram now, old man, you are playing with me!

Liu Chengzhi saw that Yang Yunqing's face was ugly, so he had to announce it in the conference room: "According to the exact news, Chongguang has reached a contract with the United States Cerix and Taiwan VIA, and a few million dollars is nothing to them now." ”

Everyone in the conference room gasped: "When did Cyrix?VIA?Chongguang collude with these two giants?"

Liu Chengzhi's news came from his father, Mr. Liu Gushu, and he was naturally very convinced.

Yang Yunqing was a little displeased, and said in his heart, why didn't you inform me earlier? If you said it earlier, why did I have to play with Wang Lili and spend that effort.

Of course, Liu Chengzhi saw his thoughts and said: "I also just got the news the day before yesterday, and the news channel is very reliable. ”

"Since these two international companies are so highly regarded by Chongguang Company, it can be seen that their products and technologies are indeed world-class. As the first partner of Chongguang in China, and at the same time, we have the grace of knowing Chongguang company, and we will cooperate more closely with them in the future, strive to include them in our strategic framework, coordinate the development direction of both sides, and avoid the competition situation of overlapping business as much as possible. ”

Hearing Liu Chengzhi's advice, the executives who imagined it nodded in agreement, believing that Liu Chengzhi's words were from a strategic height and the best consideration.

And Yang Yunqing was sullen and felt that he had been cheated by the chairman. (To be continued.) )
