In June 1996, the summer in Beijing was exceptionally hot.

Just when Chu Qing was busy integrating resources abroad to deal with Sony's attack again.

But a new advertisement has appeared in the streets and alleys of Beijing.

"Come to Lenovo, buy a 10,000 yuan Pentium machine· Legend！ ”

This year, Lenovo's LoGo has not been changed to Lennovo.

The price of domestic home computers is generally still 2-30,000 yuan, and even the cheapest assembly machine is also above.

Lenovo took the lead in shouting the slogan of 10,000 yuan computer.

Lao Liu, who had been arguing with Chu Qing for several years, also began to learn to be obedient.

Chu Qing's behavior of knocking down the price of products at every turn, not only did he not give in to the difficulty of stepping high.

On the contrary, there is a faint trend to catch up with the bosses of the technology industry.

Although BBK has not announced its financial report.

But just look at the continuous big moves of backgammon this year, you can know that they have surpassed Lenovo in terms of capital flow.

After all, being able to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in a wafer factory at one time is not something Lenovo can do.

This makes Lenovo and Lao Liu, who have always regarded themselves as domestic technology leaders, gradually feel threatened.

If he doesn't do something, when the time comes, he will really let a private enterprise take away his first position, and what face will he have to meet the leaders behind him.

Of course, there was also last year's internal investigation, which tended to force him to do something.

After all, he had given a military order in front of his boss.

It is necessary to hold high the banner of national industry and do a good job in China's PC.

And now there is such an opportunity for him to learn backgammon to do this.

In the 90s, since the sharp reduction of import duties on computers from 200% to 20%.

Apple, IBM, HP, Compaq and Dell and other foreign brands have entered in a big way, and the domestic PC market is basically occupied by the "Eight-Nation Alliance".

Even if BBK has gradually abandoned the learning machine and transformed into a real home computer, after all, the strength is insufficient, and in the PC market, it can only be regarded as a small shrimp.

At this time, the domestic home computer market is always one step slower than that of foreign countries.

Even though the Pentium has been out for a few years, the mainstream in China is still 486 computers.

The main reason is that these big foreign brands only regard Huaxia as a garbage disposal station.

Because in the eyes of foreign manufacturers, there is only the Chinese market, and there is no Chinese PC industry.

In order to dominate the Huaxia market for a long time and pursue profit maximization, they only sell second-rate products to Huaxia.

The 386 computer came out and sold the 286 to Huaxia.

When the 486 computer appeared, it began to upgrade and sell the 386.

The Pentium machine went on the market, and they sold another 486.

Let the country always be one step slower than the foreign.

And this just gives Lenovo an opportunity.

So when Lenovo and Intel reached a cooperation.

In the summer of 1996, the 586 computer with Intel's latest Pentium processor came to the price of 10,000 yuan for the first time.

In a way, the emergence of Lenovo has indeed gotten rid of our constraints in this regard.

So that we can stand on the same starting line as foreign countries.

However, the result of this kind of abandonment of independent intellectual property rights and complete reduction to vassalage is that there will be no possibility of turning over from now on.

Fortunately, in this life, there are not only associations, but also backgammon.

"Lao Liu, this is completely falling."

Ni Guangnan, who was on the other end of the phone, said in a somewhat lonely tone.

"It's not a fall, at least, it's going to be glamorous on the surface. I can also give some explanations to the above. Chu Qing said lightly.

"I have face, but I have lost my heart. In the end, it is you who suffers. Ay! He just has a good face for life. ”

Chu Qing didn't answer this sentence, because he knew that it was not his old willow who suffered in the end, but just the country.

"How's our Pentium computer doing?" Chu Qing diverted the topic and asked.

"It's ready for mass production." When he said this, Chu Qing could clearly hear Ni Guangnan's excitement.

"It's just that the motherboard factory of the joint venture with Meijie has just started, and now the output has not yet risen, and the motherboard has to be imported from the bend side for the time being. However, when the output of motherboards comes up in the second half of the year, our shipment speed can also be raised. Duan Yongping on the other end of the phone also immediately added.

Since Ni Guangnan joined, BBK has been conducting research and development on Pentium computers.

Although now cpU is still used by Intel.

But the motherboard is already consciously being produced independently.

Of course, in terms of memory, backgammon doesn't have this ability yet.

But with Dai Weili's Marvell Electronics, Qiangxin helps Marvell process memory chips. It can also be regarded as a kick in this important area.

The main chip of the 3.5-inch, 10,000-rpm hard drive of the cheetah10K that Seagate will launch this year is produced by Marvell Design and Strong Core.

Even if backgammon in the future does not produce cpU by itself, with Chu Qing's current layout, he can also say hard in front of Lenovo, at least we have independent technology in the PC industry.

But with Ni Guangnan, as well as Qiangxin and ARm, how could Chu Qing not set foot in cpU.

"Boss, do we want to keep up with Lenovo now and directly launch the 10,000 yuan machine?" After Duan Yongping took over the conversation, he also followed up with a question.

"Don't worry, Lao Liu wants to perform, let him behave first, lest some old leaders say that we are staring at Lenovo all day long."

Just after Lenovo's internal review passed smoothly, Chu Qing also received a message from the leaders above.

As two rare excellent technology companies in China, of course, they don't want them to pinch too hard.

"Hey, hey! Good boss, I understand! ”

However, after listening to Chu Qing's answer, Duan Yongping immediately replied with understanding.

"It's good if you understand, let's prepare more goods first, so as not to sell enough when you get it."

“……！”

Ni Guangnan, who didn't think much about it on the side, heard the conversation between the two, and for some reason a sentence came to his mind when he first came to backgammon.

In any industry, as long as backgammon is inserted, then the first thing to be laid down is definitely the price.

Just like the original learning machine and later the Walkman.

Now the price of the domestic walkman has almost hit 70, and it may not be long before you can buy it for 50.

You must know that before the advent of backgammon, the price of the Walkman was as low as two or three hundred.

Now the Pentium computer of backgammon is about to be mass-produced.

Although at first BBK internal pricing is.

But now Lenovo has taken the lead in lowering the price to 10,000.

In the next step, if backgammon continues to change, what will the price be, Ni Guangnan is a little afraid to think.

Especially with the conversation between Duan Yongping and the other end of the phone in front of him, he knew that the price would definitely be cheaper than Lenovo's at that time.

If that's really the case, Lenovo's current price reduction is estimated not to be lucky, but it may plunge itself into the abyss.

Because he knew that Lao Liu was a radical person at some point.

If this price reduction strategy works, then he will definitely increase his investment.

But when it really comes to that time, if you are joined by backgammon, what will happen to Lenovo?
