Yan Yuanchao's small wish was nothing more than a gesture for Lin Qi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe restriction on the sale of the Pangu host is only for ordinary consumers, but Lin Qi asked Yan Yuanchao to take Yan Yuanchao directly to the company's warehouse to pick up the goods, and a high-end version of 2398 yuan was directly taken away, without queuing.

The reason why it is recommended to use the limited edition is because CD drives are much better than ROM cartridges, floppy disks, tapes, and so on.

At present, most of the ROM cartridges and floppy disks are mainly 1.44MB and 2.88MB, which is a joke in front of the 650MB CD.

The cost of a CD disc is even cheaper than a floppy drive, but a CD disc is equal to hundreds of floppy drives.

This point shocked Yan Yuanchao quite huge -- this is simply black technology!

Of course, if you buy hardware, you also need software. The system comes with a set of free game software "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Yan Yuanchao spent his own money to buy the CD-ROM of "C Language Introduction to Professional", which is a set of textbooks specially compiled by the programmers of the Pangu host computer according to the characteristics of the Pangu system. In addition, in addition to the textbooks, the CD-ROM also includes professional programming software such as "Pangu C Language Library" and "Pangu C Language Compiler".

In addition, Yan Yuanchao was also excited to buy 20 spare CDs that could burn content, and the price of each blank CD-R disc was 10 Hong Kong dollars, which was too black in Lin Qi's eyes.

However, in Yan Yuanchao's eyes, this price is too conscientious, because the market price of a 1.44MB floppy disk is about the same as that of a CD-R CD.

Although, CD-R discs can only be burned once, and after the burning is completed, it can only be read later, not burned.

Of course, there are better CD-RW discs that can erase and burn data repeatedly, but they cost HK$50 each. After hearing about such a price, Yan Yuanchao gritted his teeth and bought a CD-RW CD.

In addition, there are a variety of software and hardware manuals included, including the XRM Assembly Manual.

Later, by studying XRM assembly and C language, Yan Yuanchao wrote a set of software for the "Yan Yuanchao Word Processing System" in 83 years, which came out five years earlier than the WPS in history.

Historically, the premise of Kingsoft's development of WPS was that after the Chinese display of the computer system and the driver of the printer compatible with the Chinese system were completed, the Chinese word processing and table software formed a market environment.

In order to solve these problems, a bunch of Chinese cards are popular in China, that is, the Chinese display, and even the printer driver, are written to the read-only memory. How lucrative is Hanka?

Lenovo, Founder and other companies are all Hanka's fortunes. Even Shi Yuzhu only had 4,000 yuan in 1989, and then he used the money to develop the M-6402 Hanka himself, and then, advertising sales, a few months later, he became a millionaire. Of course, Shi Yuzhu was the last train of Hanka's fortune, and after the 90s, the operating system and various hardware supported Chinese, and Hanka gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

Now these problems are not a problem at all under the Pangu console platform, and Pangu's operating system is originally based on Chinese interface. Of course, the overseas version has different language versions of the interface depending on the market.

In addition, the printer is not compatible with Chinese problems, which is still a problem for new start-up electronics companies, Nima This is still a problem? Some mainstream graphics cards on the market support Chinese computer driver patches, in fact, have been written into the Pangu operating system.

It is precisely because of this that within a few years of the launch of the Pangu host, it swept the domestic market. When the Pangu console was used as a game console in the overseas market, most families in China could not afford such expensive toys, but some government and company office departments introduced Pangu computers, setting off a revolution in automated office.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary of this revolution in the Chinese office market may be Yan Yuanchao, who has been writing the "Yan Yuanchao Word Processing System" since 83 is only a rudimentary trial version, and its trial version has become popular in China.

Next, Yan Yuanchao obtained venture capital from a new start-up electronics company, allowing it to establish Yan Yuanchao automatic office software company, and developed a more comprehensive "Yan Yuanchao Chinese Office", which includes the most basic word processing, tables, PPT presentation functions, and in the 90s, it launched the advanced "cloud document" function, which can store files on cloud servers, as long as there is a network, you can easily call.

So much so that in the 90s, Microsoft launched the Office Pangu computer version, trying to occupy the Chinese market, but not only did it not conquer the Chinese market, on the contrary, a considerable part of the overseas market has been eroded by the products of Yan Yuanchao Company.

……

"Boss, I'm very puzzled, why is the price of Pangu host so low? If the price is raised by 50%, it won't lose money! After that, as the price of hardware decreases, the price will gradually be reduced!" Zhang Ru has more and more financial statements, and a large number of businesses are making money, but the loss of Pangu host is very dazzling, and now under the situation of restricted sales, Pangu host will have a net loss of 1 million Hong Kong dollars a day, if the sales increase dozens of times, it is unimaginable how many profitable projects are needed to offset this terrible gold-swallowing beast.

"Peace of mind!" Lin Qi smiled and held a cup of tea, savored it and said, "As long as you know that Moore's Law is such a thing, you should know that no matter how much hardware loss in the semiconductor industry is, it is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of the market! Occupy the market, with the passage of time, the cost will be lower and lower, reaching a certain critical point, bang! Profits have begun to detonate, from the previous burning of money, gradually become a cash cow! And the loss of the market means permanent losses!"

The net loss of each Pangu host sold is 50~100 US dollars, which is only considering the price difference between the hardware and the whole machine, if the R&D expenses and equipment depreciation expenses are also included, then the reasonable price of the Pangu host should be between 500~800 US dollars.

But if it is sold at such a price, the sales volume will not reach the goal set by Lin Qi - surpassing the sales of the Atari 2600 and Nintendo FC!

At the cost of huge hardware losses, in exchange for occupying a monopoly position in the home game console platform market.

Of course, the reason why he dared to sell a machine at such a net loss was because Lin Qi knew that according to the law of Moore's Law, the parts in the semiconductor industry would become cheaper and cheaper. Whether it is memory, video memory, CPU, or hard disk costs, the cost will fall rapidly. Even, the parts of the optical drive will develop over time and become cheaper and cheaper.

At the same time, the cost of losing hardware will be recovered in terms of game software.

Facts have proved that the consumption potential of gamers is definitely underestimated, not to mention the later era of online games and mobile games, just at the peak of Nintendo, the annual sales were close to 2 trillion yen, which is also 20 billion US dollars!

It is conceivable that if it can reach the level of Nintendo, then ...... It is conservatively estimated that the total sales of game software on the Pangu console platform will definitely exceed $10 billion a year. That level of sales performance, even if the console hardware loses a lot, the huge profits of the game software are enough to cover the loss of console sales!
