When Zhao Fatzi heard that Zhou Shuo actually opened his mouth, he directly cut off half of the fake, like a cat stepping on his tail, jumping three feet high! Screaming at the top of his voice, he shouted, "This can't be! ”

Probably feeling that shouting like this would leave a bad impression on Mr. Jason sitting there, Zhao Fatzi lowered his voice and said urgently: "Customer, how can you bargain like this, this is a computer, it is high-tech!" What about those clothes sellers on Linxi Road? ”

Zhou Shuo explained with a smile: "The reason why I say that this machine is only worth eight thousand yuan is because it has serious design flaws, and if some small probability occurs, it will even burn the machine." ”

Zhao Fatzi looked incredulous, and his voice gradually raised and retorted: "Impossible, do you know what kind of company Dell is?" Will the world's top five computer manufacturers design defective computers? If you don't buy sincerely, you can just take a look, but you can't talk nonsense! ”

Zhou Shuo pointed to the chassis of the P60 and said: "The 7790 motherboard used by this computer is unreasonable in design, which will lead to cold start failure and long boot time in some cases, and its PCI graphics card and motherboard are not compatible. And that's not even the worst ......"

OF COURSE, THIS SO-CALLED "SOME" GRAPHICS SYSTEM IS NATURALLY NOT YET AVAILABLE IN WINDOWS.

At this time, Zhao Fatzi suddenly remembered an impatient question behind him: "What is the most serious one?" ”

Zhao Fatzi turned around and found that Mr. Jason was standing behind him when he didn't know when he was in the road, thinking that Zhou Shuo's nonsense was actually listened to by him, his face turned black with fright. Hurriedly apologized: "Mr. Jason, please don't be angry, I will never allow anyone to ruin the reputation of Dell!" Come on, blast this person out of the way! ”

Zhao Fatzi shouted as he separated Jason and Zhou Shuo with his hand, as if he was worried that he would suddenly burst out and hurt Jason.

Jason didn't appreciate Zhao Fatzi's affection, but asked again in an accentuated tone: "May I ask this customer, what is the most serious flaw of this computer you are talking about?" ”

Just because others don't know how much this computer supports WINDOWS95 systems doesn't mean Jason doesn't know what to do. As one of the top five computer manufacturers in the world at the time, it couldn't have been easier for Dell to get the beta version of WIN95. It's just that he didn't expect to hear such an evaluation in the mouth of a Chinese, which made his curiosity burn.

Zhou Shuo put his hands behind his back, didn't look at Zhao Fatzi, nodded to Jason and said lightly: "The most important thing is that this motherboard has no CPU protection function, and it is very likely to burn the CPU when overclocking." ”

"The CPU protection function for overclocking ......" Jason touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "This is a very new formulation, can you elaborate on it?" ”

Zhou Shuo shrugged his shoulders, said that there was no problem, and said: "Pentium CPU has made great progress compared with previous generations of CPUs, take overclocking as an example, the 486 main frequency was 33MHz that year, and the official overclocking to 40MHz is good, and 60MHz will face the problem of too much heat dissipation." But it's easy for the Pentium CPU to exceed the 60MHz frequency to 90MHz, and 120MHz is not impossible.

It can be seen that if the performance of the Pentium CPU can be improved so much after overclocking, then overclocking will become a very common means. But brutal overclocking can easily cause irreparable damage to the hardware, and I think the value of a motherboard is very compromised if it doesn't protect against overclocking. ”

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

After Zhou Shuo finished speaking, Jason couldn't help clapping his hands and said admiringly: "Your words are very reasonable, I really didn't expect to hear such a business-conscious speech in China." ”

At this time, two security guards ran over to Zhao Fatzi, crawled in his ear and asked, "Manager Zhao, do you want to drive this person away?" ”

How can Zhao Fatzi not know that he has become a villain in vain? But he didn't care. Sometimes it's not the right or wrong thing that matters, but the attitude towards it. Could it be that Mr. Jason would be angry at me for being anxious to preserve Dell's reputation? That's obviously impossible.

Zhao Fatzi cheered himself up in his heart, and interjected: "Mr. Jason is really broad-minded and open-minded! However, for this customer, the price of 8,000 yuan for a computer is absolutely impossible. The CPU overclocking protection function you mentioned, even if there is, it can only be a price increase because of this, and it is impossible to say that the price will be reduced without it! ”

Zhou Shuo scratched his head, thinking that this was really the case. I was misled by the thinking of later generations, and the motherboard at that time could even be overclocked in the BIOS, and the computer without overclocking protection was of course worthless. But I forgot that the vast majority of current motherboards do not have this function, and those who have this function are high-end goods.

Thinking of this, he was a little excited, the function of overclocking protection is not complicated, as long as some improvements are made to the BIOS, it can be easily implemented. Since no one is working on this yet, it is obviously a good direction to go.

He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can tell you a way to solve the compatibility problem of PCI graphics cards under the graphics system." ”

"Impossible!" Zhao Fatzi waved his hand and strengthened his tone and said: "I have been selling this machine for almost a year, and I have never heard of anyone repairing it because of some graphics system incompatibility problem, maybe you are simply lying and threatening!" Open your mouth and want to take more than 100,000 yuan from me? No way! ”

Zhou Shuo looked at Jason with a smile and said, "Is what I said right, I think Mr. Jason should know it." ”

THE PROBLEM OF INCOMPATIBILITY ON THE WIN95 SYSTEM OF THIS COMPUTER IS WELL KNOWN TO PASSERS-BY AT DELL, ZHOU SHUO CALCULATES THE TIME, MAYBE A LARGE-SCALE RECALL HAS BEGUN IN THE UNITED STATES TO REPLACE THE PCI GRAPHICS CARD. However, Dell users in China do not have such treatment, and the solution he knows is still a local method researched by a large number of compatibility accidents in China.

If we turn a blind eye to this failure, it will obviously have a very bad impact on Dell's product image in China. In Zhao Fatzi's opinion, more than 100,000 yuan is as painful as cutting his flesh, but from Jason's point of view, the price of less than 20,000 US dollars can avoid a public relations crisis, which is obviously a very cost-effective deal.

Jason thought about it, but still spread his hands and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe it, but it really surprised me." To know that our Dell engineers have not yet figured out what is wrong with this graphics card, a Chinese? Sky! You don't even have a circuit diagram for your graphics card, do you? ”

"Mr. Jason, you're being too arbitrary, who says you can't fix a fault without a circuit diagram? It is important to know that finding defects and solving problems are often two different things. ”

Zhou Shuo scratched his head, thought of a rhetoric, and reluctantly continued: "This is like the traditional Chinese medicine in our country, there are some diseases as long as you prick it with a very thin needle in an irrelevant place, and the disease will be cured!" The key is to find a point where you can strike a balance, you know? ”

Jason: "Wow! With a sigh, he nodded with a mysterious color and said: "I understand, it's China's magical 'acupuncture point', right?" It's incredible, could it be that computers also have acupuncture points? ”

Zhou Shuo hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, Mr. Jason, what we are discussing is not acupuncture points, but how to find a 'point' that can re-establish balance, this point is not mysterious, it can be discussed and understood." ”

Jason was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still cheered up and said: "Okay, if there is such a magical 'point', I can agree that you can buy 20 Dell Pentium computers at a price of 8,000 yuan per computer." ”

Zhao Fatzi dragged him anxiously beside him, and couldn't help but whisper: "Mr. Jason, you can't do this, I can't afford a loss of 160,000!" ”

Jason patted his hand perfunctorily and comforted: "Zhao, don't worry, Dell will compensate you!" ”

Now that Jason had made up his mind, Zhao Fatzi could only let go of his hand in frustration when he heard this. Even if Dell later compensated him for his losses, would it still compensate him for his profits? At most, it was just 20 computers for him, which was equivalent to such a big business just walking around like a stream of water in his hands, and as a result, nothing was left.

"I need a soldering iron, rosin, solder, and alcohol!" When he began to deal with the problem of technique, Zhou Shuo immediately entered another state, exuding an aggressive domineering spirit, as if the painting style of the whole person was different.

He asked for a mainframe, took the case apart, and took out the motherboard and placed it on the table. First of all, clean the top of the motherboard, and then use fine sandpaper to gently wipe the area that will be changed. Then pick up the heated electric soldering iron on the soldering iron stand, skillfully dip it in rosin flux, and dip some solder with the soldering iron tip to make the solder evenly coated on the soldering iron tip.

Jason couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction when he saw his movements. Zhou Shuo's smooth and skillful movements at least gave his words a little more credibility.

After all the solder on the solder joint was melted and the residual lead of the capacitor was submerged, the soldering iron tip was gently lifted up along the pin and left the solder joint cleanly. After a while, the solder joints gradually cool. Looking closely, the solder joints are round and full, smooth and flat, and this hand alone reveals his solid basic skills.

After the last soldering, the residual rosin around the solder joints was cleaned with alcohol, and Zhou Shuo put the soldering iron back on the soldering iron rack. clapped his hands, snorted lightly, and said with a smile: "It's done!" ”

Jason looked at the motherboard with only one capacitor missing, and said, "That's it?" ”

Zhou Shuo replied with satisfaction: "Since I can't find the graphics card for the time being, what's wrong, as long as it doesn't run at full capacity, wouldn't it be good?" After removing this capacitor, the power supply of the graphics card will not go up, and the performance will not reach the peak, so there will be no problem of poor heat dissipation. ”

"Uh-" Jason was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect the problem to be solved like this.
