Chapter 550: Laying Out the Internet
After the end of the carnival on Double 11.
The frenzy of orders for various products of the new start-up department has just begun.
Pangu 5 generation computers, no surprise, just after the end of Double 11, has locked in 1 million orders within three days. $1 billion in sales, easily locked.
This is also the accumulation of the new entrepreneurship department over the years, more than hundreds of millions of Pangu computer users, if you upgrade the computer, the vast majority of people, for the sake of safety, or choose the next generation of Pangu series products.
After the Pangu 5th generation was listed, the Pangu 2nd generation computer of the new entrepreneurship department has announced the discontinuation of production. The Pangu 1st generation, which has been discontinued, has a cumulative sales volume of more than 16 million units. Before the Pangu 2nd generation was discontinued, 50 million units of this series of consoles had been sold.
As for the current cumulative sales, the Pangu 3rd generation series has the highest cumulative sales, with a total sales of more than 100 million units. After the launch of the Pangu 5 generation, the price of the Pangu 3 generation has dropped to below 398 US dollars.
As for the main sales force in 88, it is still the 4th generation of Pangu products, and this series of products has sold 48 million units in 88 years, carrying the best-selling banner of the Pangu camp.
To put it simply, the current Pangu camp is all produced by a new start-up company, and the best-selling computer brands sold in the world are basically the Pangu series.
As for the PC camp, there are hundreds of compatible machine manufacturers around the world, so each one can't get much share, so the sales of popular products are not enough to compare with the new entrepreneurial department.
Of course, the competition in the PC market is definitely not a short-term decision. Therefore, Lin Qi was not sloppy, and continued to invest a large amount of the company's profits in the research and development of the next generation of chips. In addition, each generation of Pangu computers is required to be more powerful than PCs. Only by maintaining this advantage of stronger performance and lower price can we maintain the current pattern. If it loses the cost performance, Lin Qi has no confidence to let consumers all over the world continue to support Pangu Computer. Only, after persisting for more than 20 years and accumulating countless software and hardware, the compatibility moat is unbreakable, at that time, no matter what you do, you won't die in the short term!
For example, Microsoft after the 21st century, a series of stupid tricks, can not die. That's because, after decades of accumulation, Microsoft's compatibility moat has been very strong. Even later, Apple, Android and other platforms also want to enter the field of office computers, but in the short term, Apple and Android have not been able to replace the position of productivity tools of the IN system.
……
"MP3 orders exceeded 800,000!"
"More than 30,000 registered and activated users of MP3 Music Network!"
"Paid downloads exceed $50,000!"
……
"TT has more than 10,000 registered users!"
"Registered users and active users every day, steady growth!"
……
All major sectors have seen gratifying changes.
Of course, at this stage, the company still can't get away from selling hardware, and the software is also based on optical discs. Internet business, although Lin Qi is constantly launched in an orderly manner, but after all, the modern network environment has not yet reached the level of the 90s.
Therefore, I can't rush for a while, but I still need to lay out the Internet in an orderly manner.
Lin Qi went directly to the New Venture Publishing Group and had a simple meeting with the directors and management of the New Venture Publishing Group. That is to say, let the new entrepreneurial publishing group begin to lay out the online literature market. You can't indulge in the achievements of the chain rental bookstore in the 80s.
Chain rental bookstores, in Lin Qi's view, will sooner or later become the tears of the times. Perhaps the biggest value is the investment in more than 30,000 rental bookstore outlets across the country. In the future, real estate is old and valuable, and it is conservatively estimated that it will not be difficult to cash out tens of billions of yuan of profits in the future.
However, Lin Qi will definitely not let the company he established will be reduced to the point of selling real estate to survive in the future.
"Today, I convened a meeting mainly to talk about the new venture publishing group, and to synergize with the business of my latest layout of Chinese, English, Japanese and other literary websites. I am convinced that in the future era of the Internet, we may have no problem with traditional publishing in ten years, but there will definitely be problems and big problems in the future! The cost of paper, ink, labor, transportation, channels, and so on in traditional publishing will increase sharply, and we only spend less than 20% of the cost of book content, and all the rest are paper, channels, services, logistics, and so on. The price of books will continue to rise in the future, not because of the continuous increase in the author's manuscript fee, but because of the inflation cost of other things that have little to do with the content, which will force the pricing of traditional publishing to increase. Perhaps, the price increase of books in the publishing industry is not as good as real estate, wages, and prices, but consumers cannot understand it. "Everyone is gathered together, Lin Qi is in the center, surrounded by newly started employees, there is no concept of superiors and subordinates at this moment, "Relatively speaking, the labor costs, office space, distribution channels and logistics costs required by the Internet industry are very low. Network bandwidth and server costs, which are expensive now, will get cheaper in the future. As for the author's manuscript fee, if we adopt the sharing system, there will be no cost pressure, but the more we pay the author's manuscript fee, the greater our revenue, but the expenses of server, labor, and office will not increase, and the marginal cost will be lower! If you simply read, rather than collecting books, e-reading will have an absolute cost-effective advantage. ”
"Boss, what exactly is going to do in this piece, you can tell me. Zhang Dahai has long since lost his previous ambition and has at least 200 days off a year. He also participates in some meetings, so as long as the company doesn't have problems, he makes soy sauce.
Lin Qi said with a smile: "The new venture publishing company has set up an online literature division, and in addition, a traditional publishing and advertising division has been established. The Copyright Adaptation and Investment Division is responsible for the adaptation of its high-quality works into games, film and television, animation and other works. These major business divisions perform their own duties and have equal status. The online literature division, website and editorial department independently operate the solicitation of manuscripts, and the books contracted by the traditional publishing business can also be sold on the online platform. In terms of sharing, the website and traditional publishing division will first divide 55 percent, and then the traditional publishing division will give the author 55 percent of sales. In terms of contracts, we also need to make changes, and when we sign contracts in the future, we will gradually start to divide the specifications of paper book publishing copyright, adaptation copyright, electronic copyright and full copyright. Depending on the author and the work, decide what kind of copyright to sign!"
"In the future, the commercial operation of the starting point website is temporarily entrusted to the online literature division of the new venture publishing group, and the profit and loss are also attributed to the publishing group. The New Venture Electronics Group is responsible for technical maintenance, and these costs also need to be paid by the New Venture Publishing Group!"
