Chapter 516: Dancing
That's data compression. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thanks to Steve Jobs, who was a professional, and hired many technicians, and Limer also asked Bill Gates to support some manpower, so that the development of this technology has progressed quickly and has achieved good results. In Li Mo's heart, it is even more important than USB interface technology and LCD technology.
LCD technology is also very important, not only computers, but also a more important civilian product, televisions! If the research and development is successful, Li Mo can lead Yihua to let the color television liquid crystal display technology (TFT-LCD) replace the picture tube technology (CRT) to achieve commercialization ahead of schedule, of course, the competition in China's home appliance industry will be fierce in the future. But then what's the matter, the so-called price war of China's various home appliance companies in the future is the price war of assembly machines, and many parts and components must also be imported from Japan.
Domestic companies are fighting hard, but the real profits are taken away by Japanese companies.
It's also a painful history.
However, I fought hard and went to sea with Japanese companies......
Thinking of this, Li Mo felt a little funny.
Although there are indeed many disadvantages of Made in China in the future, no one can underestimate the lethality of Made in China. The Japanese, in particular, are also China, and China is also defeated.
However, the power of Made in China is also early.
What Li Mo thinks is that the price of the finished product is fierce, but it can start from individual parts.
At present, Li Mo gives people the impression that he has a lot of money, is stupid, and comes quickly, but a few years later, when Li Mo's layout gradually takes effect, no one will think like this.
Xu Shichang continued to introduce these four products.
Reachable, USB port.
Even if it is obsolete, it is this LCD.
But no one noticed.
It wasn't until Xu Shichang announced the prices of these four models that everyone let out an exclamation, and the prices of these four computers were too close to the people. In particular, the mid-range configuration PCs cost only $1,699 each. Other brands of PCs with the same configuration cost at least $2,000.
The other high-end PC and the notebook, as well as the business computer, were also about three to five hundred dollars cheaper each compared to other brands.
Xu Shichang finished talking about the price, and many people looked at Li Mo.
ASUS has gradually shifted its production center to the development zone, which is mostly staffed by mainland workers, with cheap wages and, as he says, mostly self-producing. There is also Microsoft's secret sale of various software to ASUS at a discounted price, and the battery is also cheap, but no one knows about the latter for the time being. Accumulated in all aspects, the cost is indeed cheap, so at this price, ASUS still has some room for profit.
However, this is not how the accounts are calculated.
To accurately calculate the cost, we have to calculate the patent fees purchased by Li Mo in the early stage, various R&D expenses, various expansion expenses, and even the cost of the land under his feet, etc., which is their real cost.
Li Mo's face was very calm.
These are indeed costs, but they are not shared by ASUS alone.
The first is the positioning of the price, Yihua will enter the PC in the future, but it will not launch the PC until the several black technologies proposed by Li Mo are successfully developed, of course, its pricing is also very dark. That is to say, in the future, the PCs produced by Yihua will take the high-end route, while ASUS will take the civilian route, which is more civilian than Dell.
Dell's sales method has not been paid much attention to at the moment, but a few years later, with the success of Dell, everyone will notice Dell's sales model, and companies such as Acer have followed suit.
In fact, compared to the Dell model, many people have noticed the Yili model.
The sales model of both is similar, mainly direct sales, supplemented by consignment sales.
However, the outlets that Yili has set up are all in the most prosperous commercial center areas, and even if Li Mo raised a large amount of money through white cards, he has not laid many outlets now, and he still owes a lot of debts. Many noticed, but were non-committed, about this pattern.
Dell is almost the same, mainly in direct sales stores and warehousing, supplemented by consignment sales, in order to reduce costs, reduce selling prices, the price is cheaper, the shipments are larger, and the total profit naturally keeps up. In fact, the principle is the same as that of Wal-Mart supermarket, but the methods and means are different.
The difference is that these outlets are not too strict about the location requirements, and the area is not so large, so the cost is relatively low.
Li Mo's positioning for ASUS is the same, don't think about my previous investments, and even I will allocate a sum of money to you, or rent or buy, and win a large number of direct sales stores, even if there is a profit in the future, there is no need to consider dividends, in addition to R&D expenses, the rest will be rented to buy the storefront. Especially domestic...... It's not about renting, it's about not being able to rent, and even Walmart can't afford to rent it!
The main components of a PC include processors, memory, hard disks, optical drives, graphics cards, sound cards, monitors, keyboards, mice, speakers, etc.
In fact, Li Mo has prepared a lot of funds to allow several companies and some domestic universities to research and develop related technologies. Of course, the PC processor will definitely not be able to fight Intel, but because TSMC has a deep business relationship with Intel and there is no major business conflict, Intel will not and cannot afford to strangle the necks of ASUS and Yihua.
There is no doubt about this autonomous production.
What they did not expect was that even if the workers in the development zone were from the mainland, wages would inevitably rise in the future. In fact, in the Li Mo plan, the development zone will be the headquarters in the future, a research and development base, and a production center for some high-tech parts that cannot be produced in the mainland due to the technological blockade.
As for the next few years, the tax will be raised and labor costs will rise, Foxconn's approach is to go to India and the United States, which is actually not the solution, the real solution is to march to unmanned factories, increase the proportion of mechanized production, and reduce manpower production. Besides, that's still early.
Finally, the United States is the main sales area of PCs, but the competition is too fierce, in addition to IBM, Dell, Compaq, and the declining Apple, there are also Japanese companies led by NEC, the Italians founded Holly, two Xiangjiang immigrants founded AST (Chinese trademark Hongzhi), and so on.
Although this market is large, the competition is extremely cruel, and it is even more fierce than the competition in China's domestic home appliance industry.
But many people neglect the Asian market, of course, not counting Japan, but also ignoring the Chinese market.
Because of the deformed high tariff policy in the late 80s, the price of computers in China was extremely high. Xu Shichang launched two home PCs on the stage, one with high configuration and one with medium configuration, which is the kind of PC with medium configuration, put it in the Chinese market, and the price of one is as high as 20,000 yuan, and eight or nine times out of ten it is not as good as the quality of ASUS's medium and high configuration.
Did such high tariffs protect the domestic computer industry? No, with the gradual liberalization of the computer market in '91, '92, and '93, the Great Wall was crushed to the point that it had to make a joint venture with IBM.
In the first half of this year, it will not be moved for the time being, and in the second half of the year, part of the production line will gradually be transferred to China, including assembly, which will be produced domestically, and there is no need to pay high tariffs. Great Wall Computer let foreign companies defeat him, it is better to let Li Mo's ASUS defeat him. If it can succeed and further reduce the cost, even if it is a medium-sized PC that is not a low-end PC, it can reduce the price to about 10,000 yuan six or seven years in advance. Once the price drops to this point, even if China is not yet rich, it will also open up some markets.
In addition, Li Mo has another trick......
As for the original cost of each reporter's consideration, Li Mo did not consider it at all.
The main task of ASUS is not to make a lot of money, but to open the market and open up well-known books!
After Xu Shichang finished speaking, he began to answer reporters' questions.
It's time for them to know, and all of them are answered. shouldn't let them know, Xu Shichang won't say a word.
End of press conference.
Xu Shichang held a humble drinking party on this venue. Of course, everyone can understand that the development zone has been built from nothing, in addition to these factories, the rest of the formal construction has not been a year, because of environmental conflicts, once the development zone was suspended for a long time, where to find a good venue for a cocktail party?
And no one dares to underestimate the development zone, not to mention anything else, just talk about some skyscrapers planned by the development zone...... Today, the ranking of skyscrapers in Hong Kong is, Central Plaza, 374 meters, but it will not be completed until 92, Bank of China Tower, 369 meters, Hopewell Center, 216 meters, Sun Hung Kai Center, 214 meters...... In fact, it was already very high in this era, such as the Jinling Hotel, which is only 110 meters high, and has become an important landmark in the southeast for a long time.
However, the Shajiao Tower, which is under construction in the development zone, has doubled its height to more than 700 meters. However, like ASUS products, although many people admit that it is very high, and maybe it will become the world's first landmark when it is built, such a large investment is not only a false name, but also profitable. Many people thought that it was impossible for the tower to be profitable, and that there was not even a guarantee of operating costs. But they had to reluctantly admit that even if they lost money, Li Mo might not care. Isn't it just making money, it seems that for Li Mo, making money is too easy.
The reception began, and several Asian sisters and sisters surrounded them.
Among them, a very few "sisters" are killers of the rich, but Li Mo is also the killer of these "sisters".
Li Mo danced with several sisters.
In fact, Li Mo seems to be versatile, those are not talents, but hard learning, if you don't work hard, you can't do it in many aspects, including dancing. Li Mo's dancing is not good, but who cares? Or who dares to say that you are so stupid, you can't even dance ordinary ballroom dancing!
In the distance, various reporters nervously snapped pictures.
These sisters are very beautiful, jumping and jumping, Li Mo reacted, and actually asked a reporter to film the process as it was, and the next day, it was published in the newspaper......
When dancing with Li Jiaxin at the end, Li Jiaxin didn't do a good spin and fell into Li Mo's arms all of a sudden.
A few "sisters" on the side scolded together in their hearts, scheming.
Li Mo also knew that this big beauty was similar to Guan Zhilin, the difference was that there were two less golf balls, and she finally succeeded in taking the position. But the beauty is in her arms, Li Mo didn't think about it so much, but thought, Li Jiaxin is so beautiful at this time.
Then Li Mo smiled, deliberately hugged her waist, squeezed her chest into his arms, and the other hand slid down, and secretly stroked her buttocks with two fingers. This also shows that Li Mo's deformation, in previous years, he would never make such frivolous actions.
Li Jiaxin threw a roll of her eyes at him.
But the dance is over.
"Miss Li, do you want to come with me?"
Li Jiaxin didn't speak, but replaced the answer with a gesture, she took Li Mo's hand and followed Li Mo to Wei Yixin.
Several other sisters had fire in their eyes and entered this circle...... There are good people, such as Shu Chang and Chen Hao, but these stars are often rarer than giant pandas, and most people are the same thing, but the reporters who took photos from a distance came to their senses one by one, thinking, they have to keep an eye on it, and if they don't get it, there will be "big news".
Li Mo asked, "Your Excellency the Governor, how is the situation of smuggling in Xiangjiang during this time?"
Smuggling is unavoidable.
But if you want to smuggle to Xiangjiang, there is no development zone, and you will find a way to smuggle to Xiangjiang. Those who don't want to smuggle into Xiangjiang, even if there is a development zone, they will not smuggle to Xiangjiang.
On the contrary, the authorities are afraid that the large flow of people in the development zone will tarnish China's image, and the control is extremely strict.
Not only are the border patrols strict, but the inspection of migrant workers entering the development zone is also strict, and even the responsibilities of each construction team are clearly stipulated, how many people you bring over, how many people you must bring back, otherwise it is the responsibility of the leaders of your construction team.
To some extent, the separation of development zones has reduced the number of smugglers. As for the full liberalization of the development zone in '97, at that time, it was a matter of your British.
One thing can also be proved that Xiangjiang has always wanted to use barbed wire fence to separate the development zone, and when there was trouble last year, almost half of the barbed wire fence was not repaired, even if Wilson sold a piece of land to Li Mo, reducing the difficulty and cost of building the barbed wire, and now, there are still many places where the barbed wire fence has not been built.
Let Li Mo get a lot of money, and then Iraq invaded Kuwait, and let a small stock market crash break out in Xiangjiang, although Li Mo later brought the funds over, on the whole, Xiangjiang's economy has not completely improved, and all aspects of funds are relatively tight.
Xiangjiang is a tropical region, and after the Chinese New Year, it began to carry flowers, grass and trees...... There are no birds and fish yet, and the northern part of the main development area is still bombing mountains and mountains on a large scale, and there are many explosions every day. However, all kinds of plants began to be transferred, in addition to many ornamental flowers and trees, Li Mo also got some rare trees, such as yellow pear, rosewood, small-leaved red sandalwood, sour branch wood, wenge, yew, ginkgo, alder, etc., a total of seventeen species, most of which are available in China, and there are also a few that China does not have, and are shipped from foreign countries.
Most of these trees grow slowly, and some of them may have died and have not really become adults...... But Li Mo doesn't expect them to make money after they become adults, the main purpose is to let tourists see, especially several types of mahogany, the future is mythical in China, but most people have not seen it, now they are planted piece by piece, after a few years, these trees will definitely not become mature, but they have grown a little bigger, and there is a wooden sign hanging on it, oh, it turns out that this is mahogany, and there is a gimmick.
What do you see in the tour? Lively business districts, beautiful scenery, and, in addition, novelty.
Li Mo has always been very humane to employees, these workers have stayed in the development zone for many years, and even because of various domestic restrictions during the Chinese New Year, they have no way to go home, so Li Momo allowed some workers to bring their families over. Some family members are clever and don't need to solve the problem of living with them, but they still have food, drink, clothing and fun, so these family members began to start a small business.
In addition, three companies have also opened, and there are still many workers.
For the rest, Li Mo also arranged for them to clean up, and when spring came, let them plant flowers and trees.
Therefore, the development zone seems to be a mess, and the barbed wire fence has not been repaired, so it is too easy to smuggle people.
However, there are very few cases of smuggling from the development zone to Xiangjiang.
Wilson said: "Your country has a relatively strict control in this regard. ”
"That's right, in fact, the development zone is equivalent to a buffer zone, but it reduces the phenomenon of smuggling, in that case, Your Excellency the Governor, can you sell me the remaining land around the Plover Cove Reservoir?"
"Li, the area of the development zone is not small. ”
"The area seems to be quite small, but as you know, in my plan, I am going to vigorously develop the two major country parks of Pat Sin Ling and Plover Bay, and I have spent so much money that I will inevitably set aside a part of the area as a commercial area. Therefore, after repeated arguments by various experts, it seems that the area of the two country parks is not small, but the actual area is not large enough, and the ecological environment is very weak. ”
"Ecosphere?" asked Li Jiaxin curiously.
"The two biospheres, one is the terrestrial ecosphere of the two country parks, in addition to planting a variety of exotic flowers and rare trees, it will also introduce a variety of beautiful birds for viewing. The first is the marine ecosphere, which will be further expanded in addition to taking advantage of the excellent ecosphere of Yinzhoutang. Originally, I planned to build a bridge in the Hongshimen Strait in Emeizhou, so that it could be connected one after another, and this bridge was only a few tens of meters wide, and it didn't cost much. However, forced by these experts, the bridge had to be moved to the easternmost point of Emei Chau at Extinction Kok Tsui to reach Wong Chuk Kok Tsui, making the entire length of the bridge almost 1.5 kilometers. Although in this way, the Wong Chuk Kok Sea is also enveloped in this ecological area, such a long bridge, coupled with the depth of the Wong Chu Kok Sea, will waste countless more money. ”
But the difference is that in Li Mo's plan, he has not used the long sharp tip of Huangzhu Kok Tsui as a commercial area. Now it is a commercial district, and with this bridge, it will undoubtedly further enhance the value of this commercial district.
The cost of this bridge is out of it, and it will even make a lot of extra money, of course, at least for now, it means that Li Mo needs to advance more capital.
Li Jiaxin looked at the two of them curiously, and thought to herself, didn't you make a fuss about the development zone destroying the environment last year? Why did you come out to protect the environment now?
In fact, Li Mo didn't want to change his plans again and again.
However, the opinions of various experts cannot but be listened to, and it is really unclear that they have been touched by the ecological protection circle.
It may not be as these experts say, or most of the experts want the area to be as large as possible, anyway, the Hong Kong government is loosened again and again, and Li Mo seems to have a lot of money, so why not fight for a little?
But what if they get it right?
Although it is not clear, the larger the area, the better. And in the future, with the destruction of the domestic environment, these two ecosystems will inevitably be important selling points for the tourism industry.
Wei Yixin smiled bitterly: "Li, I also want to give an explanation to the Hong Kong people." ”
"Governor Wei, in this case, I make a few promises. There are many families on Tingjiao Road in the coastal area west of the Plover Bay Reservoir, and there are some small businesses, which are inconvenient to resettle, and the rest of the areas north of the line from Liushuixiang Reservoir, Hexu Reservoir, Nanshanwei, Luyangfeng, and Chunfeng Pavilion, including the Long Causeway of the Plover Bay Reservoir, are sold to me, as long as the price of the Hong Kong government is not high, the price is negotiable. In addition, when the development zone is built, I will take further care of Hong Kong. ”
As the two sides reached an agreement, the relationship gradually turned harmonious, and this is also the order above, there are still a few years before Xiangjiang will return, Li Mo, you try to toss as little as possible, so as not to have unnecessary variables.
Therefore, Li Mo began to purchase a large number of building materials in Xiangjiang at a similar price, and also hired ships from Xiangjiang merchants to transport them, and also began to purchase some daily necessities in Xiangjiang. Don't underestimate the construction of the development zone, which will consume astronomical sums of money every month, and Li Mo's slight change will play a role in stimulating the economic development of Xiangjiang.
This is also the reason why many businessmen come uninvited today.
However, Li Mo was dancing with a few beauties, and these businessmen were conscious and did not come forward to disturb.
"There are three companies in the development zone today, but in the future I will build other enterprises in the development zone, maybe one or two big guys, and if the salary is right, I will hire a large number of employees and managers from Heung Kong as appropriate. ”
