Chapter 532: Miraculous Results
Wang An Computer Co., Ltd.'s transformation of the heavyweight product Wang An printer 1 generation, in the North American market, quickly became the most popular printer in the near future.
Many PC or Apple computer users are constantly asking whether they can upgrade the driver so that Wang An's printer and Pangu office software can be compatible with non-Pangu platforms.
"Not at the moment, but if it's the Pangu operating system, it may be compatible. Wang An's customer service said to the user's suggestion.
"Is it okay to use the PC version of Pangu OS?" the user asked.
"Yes!" Wang An's customer service said, "Our driver is developed according to the operating system platform, as long as the computer with the Pangu operating system is installed, it can be compatible." ”
Although the Pangu operating system is tailored to the XRM architecture of the Pangu computer, it has been around for more than 8 years, and the Pangu operating system has naturally made a lot of attempts. For example, an operating system that is compatible with both PC and Mac computers has been introduced.
At present, although it can be installed, because the optimization of the system on other platforms is not as good as that of Pangu computer, the experience is also relatively poor. However, if the user does install the Pangu operating system on the PC, it is compatible according to the test.
It is precisely for this reason that many PC users have also begun to try to install the Pangu operating system to upgrade their computers to be compatible with Wang An printers and Pangu Office 2.0!
It is precisely because of this that Wang An Printer did not soon lack stamina due to the saturation of the office market on the Pangu platform as its competitors thought.
On the contrary, it continues to seize the market of PC, Apple and other platforms, and even tempts some users with technical ability to modify the Pangu operating system!

"What the hell is going on, their printers are like this, there is no reason to seize so many markets at once. ”
Andrew held his head, he was in pain, he was in a bad mood, this week, the business decreased by 74%, and it is still declining, and there are even customers who have already placed orders, do not need a deposit, and are not willing to buy.
"BOSS, the investigation is clear, the statistics sent by the head office. ”
The innocent employee once again stood in front of Andrew, he was very worried and unhappy, there was no performance, nearly half of this month was in vain, and Andrew had no way at all.
Almost in the same amount of time, other dealers have obtained all the market data about Wang An's printer generation.
The data shows that in the past thirteen days, Wang An printers have received orders for a total of 140,000 units. Moreover, some dealers, on the basis of increasing the price by one or two hundred dollars, are still very popular.
Selling 10,000 printers a day, just the American market!
That's definitely a very scary number!
You must know that the current computer sales in the U.S. market have exceeded 30 million units a year. However, not all computers will come with a printer as standard. At most, only 1 in 10 computers will be equipped with printing equipment. Combined with the existing computer users, the maximum number of printers sold in North America is no more than 6 million units a year.
Less than 20,000 printers are sold in the United States every day, half of which are sold by Wang An Computer Company!
"Are these people crazy, Wang An printer is still buying at a higher price?!"
Andrew slapped the table, with a look of indignation, Wang An's series of functions of printers were almost predicted in advance, in addition to advertising wars and price wars, they also did enough in consumer psychology.
"This is not scientific, how can this be?" the employee was also surprised.
"Wait, the email sent by the head office mainly analyzes the advantages of Wang An's printer! The most important thing is not that the price is low? but that the ink cartridges, printing paper and other consumables are more than half lower than the market price!" Andrew looked at the document, "Plus, the office software supporting the printer is more convenient to use! Well, the office software is very easy to solve, just learn according to Pangu Office 2.0, the problem, how can they make ink cartridges and paper cheaper!"
In fact...... Reducing costs is not as difficult as imagined, and the cost of ink cartridges, ink, printing paper, etc. of Wang An computer has been greatly reduced, mainly because the order was handed over to Chinese manufacturers. Naturally, it was easy to do it, and the cost was hit to the unimaginable price of cabbage by American manufacturers.
In addition, HP and other manufacturers, in order to squeeze profits. Therefore, the ink cartridge cannot be replaced, the user spends 5~10 US dollars to buy an ink cartridge, and after that, printing 100~400 sheets of paper, the ink cartridge can not be used, and the ink cartridge can only be replaced.
But this is not the case with Wang An printers, the ink cartridge leaves a hole that can be filled with ink, so that the user does not need to throw away the ink cartridge, but can add ink and continue to use it. Adding ink is naturally an inexpensive solution relative to the cost of the cartridge.
Not to mention paper, this product is labor-intensive, and the main cost comes from the cost of labor, energy, etc., at present, the cost of paper production in China is much lower than that of the United States. Printers are also not high-end products, and a large number of orders are sent to qualified companies, and it is natural to get this basic consumable at a very low price.
After some investigation, Hewlett-Packard finally began to invest in the Chinese market, but by the time HP's foundry in China started, it would be at least the 90s. Missed the best opportunity to reduce costs, which led to the expansion of Wang An's printer business and became one of the two giants of printers on an equal footing with HP.
……
At the same time, Wang Lie reported this result to Lin Qi in the good news on the phone, Wang Lie's voice was very excited, and his voice was also loud.
In just the past ten days, the number of orders he has obtained has been close to that of HP. As for several major manufacturers in Japan, they have been left far behind by Wang An Computer.
This achievement is indeed something to be proud of, especially for Wang Lie, this can be described as a blow to the heart, as the only heir of Wang An, he does not have the ability and talent of his father. Originally, if Wang An's computer went bankrupt, Wang Lie might only have his education, housing and car, and a small amount of savings.
But now, Wang An's computer can survive, and Wang Lie has quickly become the heir of Wang An recognized by the American technology industry, although he is not as prominent as Wang An, but at least he will not be regarded as a loser and a fool.
"Congratulations, this is the result of your hard work, and I am also very pleased. ”
Lin Qi knew Wang Lie's mentality at this time, and he was not stingy with his words, and he was also very satisfied with the increase in orders, and it was quite good to be able to achieve this level all at once.
If the new venture electronics group had done it on its own, it might have been excluded because it was not an American company.
However, operating in the shell of Wang An Computer, an American company, was able to be accepted by the American market at the beginning. Even though it may be targeted by opponents in the U.S. market in the future, with the experience and ability of Wang An Computer, it can fight for time and space better than pure Chinese enterprises, so as not to be killed by a U.S. policy.
After all, Wang An Computer Company is a listed company, and there are currently tens of thousands of investors in the United States who hold Wang An Computer's shares. Those who are optimistic about and invest in Wang An's computer stocks are many American upper-class figures, and these people may endorse Wang An's computer interests for the sake of interests!
"Mr. Lin, without your support, I would not have been able to do this. Wang Lie said modestly.
"Well, the follow-up can't be taken lightly. Other manufacturers should make moves soon, as long as they stabilize the momentum, they can have a place in the United States, and you should know how to do the follow-up, right?"
"Mr. Lin, rest assured, I already have a rough plan," Wang Lie said, "The market share of the United States is only an advertisement for us to enter the world." After that, we will strengthen the North American market and quickly expand into Asia, Europe and other markets. ”
The two chatted again, and then hung up the phone, and Lin Qi was quite satisfied with Wang Lie's performance this time.
Not only Lin Qi is satisfied, but the capital market in the United States is also very satisfied with Wang An's recent performance!
Previously, before the printer went public, the market value of Wang An Computer was stable at about 2 billion US dollars, and no one continued to be optimistic about this once great company, thinking that even if this company was alive, it would not create miracles.
However, with the launch of Wang An printer, after a blockbuster. The market value of Wang An Computer has also risen sharply in more than ten days, recovering to more than $5 billion.
Subsequently, American stock analysts and investment banks also released a number of rare research reports, singing the praises of Wang An's computer all the way, calling Wang Lie - Wang An II, and perfectly inheriting Wang An's academic genes. In the future, Wang An Computer Company will have a high-speed development cycle of decades because of this head who has finally proved his talent.
Many analysts believe that $5 billion is only the valuation of Wang An's era. In the future Wang Lie era, this company may really reach the level of IBM. After all, IBM has also gone through generations of hard work to become the blue giant.
