Chapter 553: Round-the-World Inspection
In November 88, the new entrepreneurship Double 11 brought a storm that swept the world.
At the end of the month, the sales of the Pangu 5th generation computer, which had just been launched, had exceeded 2 million units, and consumer enthusiasm continued to heat up.
After all, the hardware upgrade speed of the computer industry around the world is too fast, so consumers not only have to ask for cost performance, but also pay attention to performance, performance advanced configuration, can be used for a few more years, than to buy the current discount promotion of outdated products, it will not take long to change the computer is more cost-effective.
Compared with the hardware of the PC, the Pangu computer can already be called a conscience. The Pangu 4th generation dual-core version, which was launched two years ago, has been reduced in price by $599, but it is still claimed to beat all PCs under $1,500. Even now, the PC camp 386 CPU has begun to play multi-core in order to compete with Pangu. The high-end 386CPU with 4 cores and 4 threads has been made out, which is naturally a huge improvement compared to the single core, but still due to the backwardness of the architecture, the performance can only be longer and shorter than the dual-core version of the Pangu 4th generation. Pangu 4 itself has 4-core, 6-core, 8-core and other versions with higher configurations.
Even, Pangu 1st generation computers are still used by a large number of users. Because, even the Pangu 1st generation, the performance is not inferior to the 286 series. In addition, Pangu 1 generation has CD-ROM, which can be used to watch VCD and CD-ROM games, of course, some of the latest software and games, naturally cannot be played. Even, the old models of computers can only use 16-bit operating systems due to outdated configurations, and cannot use the latest 32-bit operating systems.
Basically, many users will sigh that the host of the Pangu series will not lag behind in performance for at least 5 years. Moreover, even some older models can be upgraded with some hardware. For example, the motherboards of the 2~5th generation are basically compatible, but they are divided into different versions of CPU sockets such as single-core, dual-core, quad-core, six-core, and eight-core. If the CPU is a dual-core version, then there are few incompatibilities for the next-generation performance upgrade version of the dual-core XRMCPU. Other configurations such as memory, discrete graphics cards, hard disks, etc., are also highly compatible and can be plug-and-play.
It is precisely for this reason that users know that the Pangu series not only has high computer configuration, but also has a very good cost performance. Moreover, for follow-up upgrades and maintenance, the camp is often a generation of CPUs and a generation of motherboards, and the motherboards have to be replaced, so it is better to change the whole machine and upgrade a fart!
Therefore, many users of the quad-core version of the 3rd and 4th generation Pangu are also waiting for the 5th generation CPU to be sold separately, which allows some old users to upgrade the configuration of the old machine to the new configuration at a lower cost.
It is precisely because of the fact that the Pangu console attaches more importance to the user's experience and saves customers money than the PC camp, rather than treating the customer as a fat sheep to deliberately make the pins and sockets of each generation of the motherboard incompatible, so as to squeeze the customer's wallet, so that part of the user's old configuration is actually not outdated, but because it is not compatible with the slot of the new platform, most of the outdated hardware of the old computer has to be discarded, and the configuration is completely replaced.
"Boss, it is estimated that there are more than 100 million users of Pangu Computer, and more than 8 million active users use Pangu Internet every day!" said Xiao Xiao, who came up with a market research report.
"Well, the penetration rate of the Internet is very low, I hope to achieve it in the future, at least 100 million active Internet users every day!" Lin Qi said after looking at the report.
"100 million Internet users?" is less than admiring Lin Qi's optimism, there are not 20 million computers accessing the Internet in the world. The Internet is not a rigid demand in this era, but only a part of the needs of users.
If Mr. Lin knew what his secretary was thinking, he would only scoff at it and be naΓ―ve! In the future, the number of Internet users who are active every day in the world will reach 1 billion, 2 billion, or even more! The popularization of the Internet is unstoppable, and in the future, not only computer networking, but also television, mobile phones, vehicle equipment, and countless other electronic devices are rapidly networked, and the Internet of all things is not a gimmick, but in the future, all kinds of supplies in the real world have been Internetized and become part of the Internet ecology.
It is precisely for this reason that Lin Qi gives a conscience price to hardware, more to retain users. The hardware is not at a loss, it is already profitable!
Of course, it is not enough for users to use Pangu computers, users need to use Pangu computers to access the Internet, which can generate a larger market!
β¦β¦
At the end of Double 11, there are no major events for the time being. Lin Qi decided to take a look at the major subsidiaries around the world, not just from the level of financial statements and subsidiary reports, to understand the branches around the world. Because of this idea, Lin Qi also set off and began his first round of the world inspection.
On December 2, Lin Qi arrived in Japan, and even though it was almost noon, it was still a little cold.
Outside the airport, the top management of the whole company is waiting, all beautiful women. This tradition is mainly due to the fact that the Japanese workplace looks down on women, and Ueshima Yatsuko directly focuses on female employees for fear of trouble. Gradually, it led to the fact that the Japanese branch became a daughter country.
Uejima Yazi can be regarded as attentive this time, the upright uniforms, all of them are workplace OL who looks passable, so that there is no need for a special welcome lady, just these beautiful OL factory is a grand welcome ceremony.
"Is there any big guy today, why are there so many beauties?"
"Yes, it's such a big battle, and it's all beautiful women, do you want to go up and have a conversation. β
"Forget it, all of them have a good temperament, where can they look at us, I just don't know who has such a big pomp. β
"Looking at their uniforms, they seem to be from Shinkai Co., Ltd., and they are all high-level leaders. β
Japan's awareness of the status of women is still not very high, so seeing such a battle inevitably attracts a lot of curious eyes, and there are some ill-intentioned lights in it.
"Boss!"
When Lin Qi and Xiao walked out of the airport, although they had already talked to Shangdao on the phone before, they were still startled.
"Wow, this ......" was taken aback, the boss with an open mouth, his eyes swept over everyone, and he quickly glanced at Lin Qi with excitement, but he was not surprised to see Lin Qi's face of pampering.
"Mr. Lin is a cow, so many beauties pick up the airport, just like no one. β
After all, he has a strong blood and a unique vitality of a young man, and after following Lin Qi for so long, he can be regarded as having seen a lot of big scenes, and he soon became familiar with a group of women.
"Boss, hard work. β
"Boss, welcome to Japan, we have arranged breakfast and rest room. β
A group of high-level executives are very enthusiastic, the service is also very thoughtful, shh
"Hey, this is a Chinese man...... It seems that he is very rich, these women, are they all employees hired by him?"
This is almost the mentality of men all the time, and jealousy is for sure.
Lin Qi decided to go directly to the company, the breakfast on the plane was really not good, after simply leading less than a sushi meal, within two hours, it was to the company.
The two of them took a short rest, they were very excited, and after saying hello to Lin Qi, they got the approval and began to relax a little, and by the way, they also hooked up with a girl from the Japanese branch as a translator and tour guide, ready to go out for a day.
Lin Qi didn't want to be less excited, after all, he wasn't too young. He doesn't look old, but Lin Qi knows that he is almost forty years old, and his mentality is becoming less and less like tossing as before.
Lin Qi stood on the 32-story building and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, at this time, the Japanese economy was developing to its peak, and thousands of high-rise buildings were rising from the ground, which can be described as a spring breeze.
Japan is always busy, with people rushing from the top to the top and a lot of traffic. In this era, consumption was also more active than in later Japan, and the wealthy Japanese were spending a lot of money at home and abroad, unlike later generations of Japanese culture that reverted to how to save money rather than how to spend it.
Historically, in the mid-80s, Japan's economy was booming, and the prospects for stable and efficient development looked unstoppable. The size of the economy is second only to that of the United States, but the development trend is more than that of the United States, and even because most of Japan's economy is mainly exported, many consumer products in the 80s have a much greater presence in the world than American companies. After all, domestic consumption accounts for the majority of the U.S. economy.
It is precisely because Japan's economy is so hot that the United States has tied a rope to its national defense, policy, and so on. Although the United States performed better than the Soviet Union in the late Cold War, it also weakened. However, seeing that its ally Japan is so profligate, it is natural to cut Japan's flesh and supplement the US economy.
In fact, the practice of the United States in later generations is far less refreshing than that of the United States in the 80s, when the United States cut meat on Japan. Not to mention, Japan needs to reimburse a large amount of military expenditure of the US military, not only the military expenses of the Japanese garrison, but Japan needs to pay a large amount. Moreover, when the United States is operating overseas, it also likes to bring some Japanese over and let the Japanese take care of logistics, and when the United States finishes the war, it sends a bill to Japan, well, this is the cost you have to pay, please pay it quickly. Then, the Japanese government kept a secret from its people and, under various pretexts, reimbursed a considerable part of the military expenses incurred by the Americans for waging wars overseas.
If the United States feels that it is weak, then it should first consider cutting a piece of meat to make up for it, and generally consider Japan. Take a knife and cut Japan, and then ask, are you angry? Of course, Japan replied, no. Cut a few more pieces, are you angry? No! Cut again, are you angry......
Therefore, in essence, it is not right to analyze topics such as Japan's loss of ten years, twenty years, Chinese New Year's Eve, and so on, and only look for reasons from Japan, and those are all side stories. American economists concluded that since the 70s, the per capita income of the United States has stagnated, and the wealth of some large companies and wealthy people is growing, but the per capita income has not increased. At the same time, the United States continues to define GDP rules and include fields that were not originally included in statistics, which is a terrible thing, which shows that the United States began to stagnate and even decline in the 70s, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 90s, it briefly took a bite of the Soviet meat. After that, most of the time was spent gnawing on the flesh of enemies and allies to survive. In particular, the fattest are the allies, and the fattest and best bullied among the allies is Japan. Therefore, the United States can maintain decency, in essence, it is a big gulp and continue to suck Japan's blood. Until Japan's blood is sucked dry, the United States will be able to maintain its dignity.
Regarding the tragic experience of the devil, Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh, or the Americans hate the devil the most. On the surface, Japan said that we are friends, right? Japan said, "Yes!" The United States then said, "In that case, should you give me your money to spend, and is your sister also mine?" Can Japan say that it is not true that Japan is not concerned with the US imperialism with a bigger fist?
