1375 Opportunity

It's just that Dell was founded in 84, that is, next year.

They went on a big development in '85, and they started working with Microsoft basically in '86, which is still a long time away.

Even if there is Dell now, far water can't save the fire.

However, Yin Jun now has a different idea.

Dell's successful model may not be believed when you say it, because it is too simple.

They buy all kinds of hardware wholesale from various manufacturers, and then find workers to put together and sell it.

Or more simply, they buy computers from a certain manufacturer in large quantities, add a little price in the middle, and sell them to others.

The two models developed together, and finally became their Dell computer brand.

In fact, they don't have any core technology, and they rely on sales ability.

Americans have a very strong ability to sell and fool people.

In addition, it was indeed an era of computer explosion, and Americans happened to have money to spend, so Dell computers were successful.

It was a huge success.

Because their market capitalization reached more than $100 billion at its peak.

That's why Michael Dale has the confidence to mock Joe's gang and Apple.

Of course, Mr. Dale was lonely in the end, but that didn't stop him from succeeding in those years.

Since there is no difficulty in the success of Dell computers, and Yin Jun also knows the process of piecing together computers, it is not difficult for Kirin Group to assemble computers and sell them as long as they find some technicians and train a series of workers.

This is not to make money, Yin Jun purely wants to implement the INDOS system as soon as possible, so that it can become the most important standard of the world's computers faster, so as to promote those computer special effects companies to enter and play an important role in the special effects business of the movie.

Next, Yin Jun talked to Bill Gates about it.

He was very surprised by Yin Jun's sudden burst of whimsy.

"You're going to get a computer?," Bill Gates wondered, "Is this going to work? Computers are very delicate things, and it's not easy to do things if something goes wrong!"

"It's not that complicated, it's just a patchwork of parts. Yin Jun said, "Now that IBM's standards have become universal, the hardware equipment tends to be stable and unified, as long as we can find the right supplier, there will be no problem at all." If you don't believe me, I'll find someone to piece it together and show it to you?"

"Good. ”

Bill Gates is also a very careful person, and he also wants to see how Yin Jun does it.

"If my computer is successful, we can bundle it. Yin Jun said in a deep voice, "Each computer must be installed with Microsoft's IN system before it can leave the factory." In this way, consumers avoid having to buy an operating system themselves, saving too much trouble. ”

"No problem, many of them do the same!" Bill Gates was of course happy.

Although Yin Jun is a shareholder of Microsoft, Yin Jun's computer company is not.

Yin Jun sells one more computer, and Microsoft's operating system sells one more, how can he be unhappy?

"You didn't understand what I meant. Yin Jun said, "When our operating system is accepted by the market, then we will sign a bundle contract with them, if you want to buy Microsoft's operating system, you must buy our operating system from every computer that leaves the factory, and you can't do it without one." ”

Speaking of this, Yin Jun said word by word, "Including IBM." ”

Bill Gates was dumbfounded.

IBM had a market value of nearly $200 billion a few decades ago, accounting for more than 20% of the annual GDP of the United States at that time.

Although the blue giant is now in decline, it is still the superboss of the computer industry.

Microsoft is actually going to order IBM in turn, this ...... It's just incredible!

But, I like it!!

Bill Gates, who has always had the heart of a strong man, was suddenly full of longing.

Microsoft, which started with IBM, would be so proud if it could really get that job one day?

But this is not for a short time, but in the future. Yin Jun said, "In order to allow our operating system to occupy the market as soon as possible, the price must not be too high, otherwise the hardware price of the computer itself will be high enough, coupled with such unaffordable software, I am afraid that the development of the computer will be slower than expected." ”

"I know, but our R&D and maintenance costs are also high. Bill Gates was a little reluctant.

In fact, this Microsoft software is simply violent.

All you have to do is copy the software to a floppy disk and sell the activation code.

People's computers still have to do all kinds of work to produce hardware, and they also need various raw material suppliers, but the software doesn't need these at all, and the cost is outrageously low!

"When you're in the market, it's okay to make a little less. Yin Jun smiled, "When IN3.0 comes out in two or three years, won't we be able to take the opportunity to raise prices?"

"Haha, Joon, I like your character very much!" Bill Gates immediately laughed.

After turning this corner, Bill Gates suddenly stopped being entangled.

It's cheap now, it's not cheap later.

In the future, we can use the reason for product upgrades to increase prices openly!

The key is that Yin Jun has already drawn such a big piece of cake for Bill Gates, of course he is willing to fight for this beautiful future!

……

"I said, can you stop a bit?"

In the office, Tang Shuxuan, who heard that Yin Jun was going to set up a computer company, couldn't help but shake his head.

It took a few years or more than ten years for others to come up with an idea, and then they began to slowly explore and research, and finally set up a company.

Yin Jun is good, and his whimsical ideas are one after another.

Tang Shuxuan listened to Yin Jun's computer patchwork ideas, and really didn't think that Yin Jun was whimsical, but really had ideas, and there was a great possibility of success in doing so.

"Time can't wait. Yin Jun said, "Let's try to do it, if it succeeds in the future, it can just enter the European market, and then the Asian market." ”

Finally, there is the Huaguo market.

Although the Chinese market started the slowest, it quickly overtook any country in the world.

It was also from the beginning of the popularization of computers that Huaguo embarked on a road of overtaking in a corner.

Computers, software, online shopping, e-commerce, 5G......

The development of these complete chains, according to the trend that Yin Jun saw in 2020, I am afraid that it will take less than 50 years, or at most 30 years, to keep pace with the United States.

At the right time, it is Yin Jun's ultimate goal to introduce computers into China and let China get used to developing the computer industry.

As for buying computers to make money over the years, Yin Jun didn't think about it.

It's okay to earn some money from developed countries in Europe and the United States, but if you want to go over there, forget it.

I haven't even been able to fully guarantee my meals over the years, so what kind of computer are you talking about?

"But computers aren't cheap these days. Tang Shuxuan's office also has a computer, "An IBM high-performance computer costs about $3,000, and if it is replaced by an Apple one, it will cost about $500." How much do Americans get paid? Ordinary people earn $2,000 to $3,000 a month at best. ”

"It didn't take too many orders at first. Yin Jun said, "We need to do word-of-mouth at the beginning, and we are responsible for promoting Microsoft's IN2.0 system." I think that various universities and private middle schools will be a good breakthrough. …… We don't sell the kind of ordinary goods on the market, if we want to sell them, we sell computers with differentiated configurations, so that they can use them comfortably!"

To be honest, computers in this era are, in Yin Jun's view, completely waste.

How can future people who are accustomed to octa-core processors be interested in the 8088 chip that is rudimentary to the extreme?

Not to mention that the current memory is only 256K, and the hard disk is pitifully small!

If it weren't for the limitations of these hardware, Yin Jun would have been able to give INDOS95 classic ideas and features this year, and let Microsoft develop it within three years.

But not right now.

Because the computer industry is a very integrated thing.

You don't have a more advanced processor, you don't have a larger capacity of memory, you don't have a better GPU image processor, you don't have a better graphics card and sound card...... If you don't have any of this, even if you develop it INDOS95, you won't be able to run it on a computer.

Even the current IN2.0, compared with the original 85-year version in history, is only a little better in some functions, and in terms of processing performance, it is limited by hardware and cannot be improved.

So Yin Jun is wondering, should he cooperate with Intel and urge them to develop better processors to carry and process more devices?

"It's a good idea to recommend it to schools. ”

Tang Shuxuan thought seriously.

The school industry in the United States is very developed, especially private schools, unless you are very talented, they are all children of wealthy families.

Whether it is elementary, middle and high school, or even college, one of the characteristics of these private schools is that they are rich, especially rich.

In order for the school to better recruit students and produce more talents, they are willing to spend money in all aspects.

Hiring the best teachers is one thing, and the same is true when it comes to the equipment of various hardware facilities.

It's just that in 1983, computers are still a very new thing, especially before there was no IN2.0 system, for children, computers are still too advanced, not suitable for them to learn to get started, so the school has been waiting and seeing.

Nowadays, IN2.0 has greatly lowered the barrier to entry and learning, and I think the school will definitely be willing to accept this new thing and teach it to students.

Looking up, Tang Shuxuan asked, "To set up a computer company, you need a lot of talents, do you have the right candidates?"

"I'm going to leave it to a specialized executive search firm. Yin Jun replied, "It doesn't have any too professional talents. At present, the sales of computers are not large, so the camp of suppliers is not large, and we should try to get the goods directly from IBM. In this way, the brand is also guaranteed, and their schools can buy it with confidence.

Of course, in addition to the sales staff, the maintenance of computers also requires a large number of talents. Although IBM will provide technical support services, if we can do it ourselves from the beginning, they will have enough experience to get started when we create our own brand of computers. The same is true for software, and those who are proficient in using Microsoft's IN system and can install various applications must be recruited and trained.

After a year or two, after users get used to our sales and after-sales service, when more and more factories start to produce all kinds of computer parts, we can buy all kinds of parts, and by the way, poach a group of skilled workers in the computer factory. Let them take care of assembling the parts into a complete computer, just in time to replace the previous one. ”

Listening to the complete set of development trajectories described by Yin Jun, Tang Shuxuan unconsciously shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Whoever competes with you in the same industry to do business, I don't know what will happen to you! Before you start doing this, you have already thought of three or five years later, or even longer, the name of genius is indeed worthy of its reputation!" Rao is Tang Shuxuan already knew that Yin Jun was a genius, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise.

"That is, the production of parts and components is now in the United States. Yin Jun said, "If in the future, these factories will be opened in China, and even China itself will have factories to produce these parts, it will be great! We will not have to endure the labor of the United States, and we will not have to endure all kinds of expensive expenses, and the price of computers will drop." That was the golden age of computer development!"

"There is still a possibility that they will go to China to build a factory...... But Huaguo's own company produces parts?" Tang Shuxuan shook his head and smiled, obviously not believing it.

Yin Jun didn't bother to tell her more.

Not only will the computer parts factory be arranged in China, there will be a factory in China to produce, but in the future, almost all electronic products and parts in the category of life, which one will not be produced in China?

The East Building concentrates at least 70% of the world's total electronic component production!

Even in 2020, the proportion is still above 50%.

Huaguo manufacturing is so powerful!

Even if many people say sourly, these are only the bottom of the entire industrial belt, and they can only earn a hard-earned money.

But they didn't think about it, if there were not so many factories in China, how could they drive a large number of jobs, how could they drive a large number of factories and companies to invest in it, how could they develop a batch of companies that began to develop their own electronic products?

If there is no source to stimulate, how can Huaguo choose the most correct electronic network industry among many industries, so as to embark on the most correct development path?

Seeing the achievements of Huaguo's network development in 2020, do you dare to say that those humble beginnings of more than ten years ago were completely unnecessary?

If Huaguo follows to do light industry, petrochemical and other industrial upgrading, it will be a real tragedy!

Follow other people's farts and stocks to do duplicate industries, there is no chance to surpass in your life!
