Chapter 61: Bodyguards
As soon as the press conference ended, Borderless became very busy.
Major computer manufacturers at home and abroad have come to talk about cooperation.
The media also sent reporters to interview and wanted to understand the story behind the Imagine motherboard.
In short, Wujiang Company is once again on fire in China, but this circle is a little smaller, and ordinary people just smile with relief after reading the news report, and don't really understand what the motherboard is, but for computer practitioners, Wujiang Company has undoubtedly achieved another amazing feat.
"Boss, all the 30,000 Imagine motherboards we prepared in advance are sold out!!" At this time, Liu Yinyin hurriedly ran into Zhao Ye's office and said loudly, out of breath, her bulging chest seemed to be about to break, and from Zhao Ye's point of view, it seemed that she could still see a large area of snow.
"What's the hurry, rest for a while. I know about this, and it seems that Imagine motherboards are very popular. ”
Zhao Ye smiled and poured a glass of water for the secretary.
"Boss, do you want to notify the factory to expand production quickly?" Liu Yinyin took a sip of water and suggested in a low voice.
At the factory, 3,000 Imagine motherboards per day are produced overtime, and there is no problem in producing 5,000 motherboards per day, and if the technology is skilled, the output will increase.
"No, you don't." Zhao Ye waved his hand, not planning to blindly expand production.
Imagine motherboards are produced in excess of one million units per year.
The domestic motherboard sales are expected to be only 50,000 or 60,000 pieces a year.
It is a miracle that a million motherboards can be sold abroad, and it is unimaginable.
In fact, being able to sell three or four hundred thousand Imagine motherboards, Zhao Ye was satisfied.
At the moment, there is basically no motherboard that can compare to the Imagine motherboard, so the price of the Imagine motherboard is very expensive.
The price of a computer has now dropped to about 15,000.
Then the Imagine motherboard of our Wujiang Company sells for 3,000 yuan, which is not too much, right?
In 1985, 1 US dollar was exchanged for 2.9366 yuan.
The Imagine motherboard is priced at $999 in the United States, which is almost 3,000 yuan, and because of the tariffs, Wujiang seems to be making less money. But in fact, exports earn foreign exchange, the state has subsidies, and the profit of the Imagine motherboard is higher than in China.
It's not that I don't want to sell more expensive, but if it is expensive, Americans must be willing to buy it.
At present, a high-end product in an IBM-PC costs only three or four thousand dollars in the United States.
And Intel chips are only $400.
As a top-of-the-line motherboard, the Imagine motherboard can be sold for $999, which is close enough to the nature of capitalists.
Generally speaking, high-end machines can make a company famous, so even if the price of Imagine is so high, many PC manufacturers are still willing to pay for it.
If IBM buys it and HP doesn't, does HP still want to compete with IBM-PC? Will it leave the outside world with the impression that HP computers are a low-end PC brand?
The same is true, which has led to the Imagine motherboard forcing those big manufacturers in the United States to rush to buy it.
……
A few days later, the Imagine motherboard was shipped all over the country.
The big guy of the domestic PC manufacturer is fast, and every second counts. As soon as the goods arrived, workers were immediately arranged to assemble them.
The Imagine motherboard is compatible with the IBM-PC, and most common electronic components on the market can be installed on it.
May 25th.
The first computer installed with an Imagine motherboard was sold in China.
As the saying goes, "the wool comes out of the sheep", the Imagine motherboard is expensive, and PC manufacturers naturally want to increase the price.
Originally, the price of domestic microcomputers has dropped to 15,000 yuan, but the computer with the Imagine motherboard was directly raised to 20,000 yuan by black-hearted businessmen.
When Zhao Ye, a young capitalist, saw it, he was afraid that he would cry.
Shenzhen Huaqiangbei electronic market.
"How do you sell this computer?"
"Twenty thousand dollars!"
"Lesbian, don't fool me, what kind of assembly machine computer can be sold for 20,000 yuan? Wasn't it all 15,000 yuan before? Now it's up 5,000 yuan all of a sudden!! Wang Xiaoba looked at the saleswoman in front of him indignantly, although she was beautiful, she was not kind at all when she did business.
Wang Xiaoba worked in the Planning Bureau, learned the Imagine typewriter, and barely knew a little about computer technology.
He originally thought that the assembly machine computer would only cost 15,000 yuan, but he thought that the assembly machine would be sold for 20,000 yuan!
Must it be the saleswoman who wants to kill herself? No way!
It's not that I haven't inquired about the price of the assembly machine before, how can I be deceived?
The saleswoman explained slowly: "The reason why it is so expensive is because our product uses the world's top motherboard, which is a high-end product!" ”
"What the world's top motherboard, what high-end goods, scammers! With my IQ, can I be deceived by you? These words are just a set of words for you salespeople. You give me a real price, can you sell it for 14,000 yuan?! Wang Xiaoba pouted.
The salesman shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sir, I really didn't lie to you, this computer uses the Imagine motherboard developed by Wujiang Company, a few days ago, Wujiang Company also released the Imagine motherboard to the outside world. At that time, many foreigners rushed to buy Imagine motherboards, and even the Chinese head of IBM, the overlord of the computer industry, said yes! Our company also managed to grab a batch of Imagine motherboards! ”
Wang Xiaoba is a loyal user of the Imagine typewriter, and when he heard that the motherboard was also developed by Wujiang Company, he was immediately in awe, and said secretly, "Wujiang Company is worthy of being the most famous technology company in China, it is amazing!" ”
Immediately, Wang Xiaoba hurriedly inquired about the power of the Imagine motherboard.
The saleswoman had already memorized the information of the Imagine motherboard, and immediately introduced the Imagine motherboard to Wang Xiaoba in detail.
Half an hour later, Wang Xiaoba walked out of the store with the order ticket.
It's really fragrant...... (It's the assembly machine computer with the Imagine motherboard is really fragrant, not the saleswoman is really fragrant, readers must not misunderstand, here is a statement in advance)
All over the country, there are many people similar to Wang Xiaoba.
All in all, the computers with the Imagine motherboard installed have sold pretty well.
Ordinary people don't have money, but the unit has money, and of course you have to buy good things expensively.
……
At this time, the major motherboard manufacturers who heard about the Imagine motherboard were panicking.
Then I got the Imagine motherboard as soon as I could, and I tested and studied it in various ways.
As a result, everyone found that the Imagine motherboard was much stronger than its own motherboard.
Treasure Island MSI Technology Company.
Xu Xiang, Huang Jin, Lin Wentong, You Xianneng, and Lu Qilong looked at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
"Why don't we go in a different direction? Don't develop a computer motherboard anymore? Lin Wentong said tentatively to everyone.
Xu Xiang glared at Lin Wentong and said, "If we don't develop the computer motherboard, then all our previous efforts will not be in vain?" ”
Lin Wentong frowned, and said dejectedly: "But the computer motherboard we developed is completely competitive with the Imagine motherboard, if these two products are put in the market to compete, it is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone, we are eggs, and others are stones." ”
When the other four people heard this, they all had sad faces.
MSI Technology has a tendency to "collapse in the middle of the business".
Zhao Ye never expected that the appearance of the Imagine motherboard almost killed MSI Technology, one of the three major motherboards in his previous life......
At the beginning of June, the competition in the domestic Hanka market became more and more fierce.
Because since 1985, several Hanka brands have appeared in China.
The price of Hanka fell again and again.
So far, the retail price of Imagine Hanka 2.0 has dropped to 3500 yuan, and after a while, the price will fall.
Wang Anshi, director of the marketing department, has returned to China at this time to preside over the overall situation, but in the face of the increasingly fierce competition in the Hanka market, he has no good way, but fortunately, Imagine Hanka 2.0 still accounts for more than 65% of the market share.
He thought about incorporating Hanka functionality into the Imagine motherboard, but he soon felt that this was redundant.
Because the operating system being developed by Wujiang will support Chinese, Hanka will be useless in the future.
Therefore, Wang Anshi also gave up the hope of saving Hanka, and in the future, everyone likes to fight a price war, so let's fight.
Hanka's status in Wujiang is getting lower and lower, and the proportion of revenue is getting smaller and smaller, only about 8%.
The most profitable products are still the Imagine Chinese and English electronic typewriters and digital BB machines, but the Imagine motherboard is also expected to become one of the company's flagship products.
The Imagine console is still in development, but Zhao Ye has already decided to leave for RB. However, he first had to go to Hong Kong, and then from Hong Kong he had to fly to RB.
The Hong Kong pass and RB visa have already been done, and Zhao Ye can be ready to leave at any time.
But before going to Hong Kong, security issues are worth noting.
He is now a billionaire worth more than 100 million, what if he is kidnapped in Hong Kong?
So, he must now call in bodyguards!
Zhao Ye was deeply impressed by Li Lian's outstanding performance of "Bodyguards in the Middle North Sea", and the guards who served as bodyguards for the leaders were relatively good in all aspects.
"Secretary Li, hello, can you help me contact me, is there anyone who is a guard in the 'Zhongbeihai' willing to be my bodyguard? I can hire them at a high price with a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan and a bonus at the end of the year! Zhao Ye picked up the phone at this time and contacted the leader of the Capital Municipal Party Committee. Although he couldn't find a very powerful bodyguard, he was sure that as long as he had this request, the state should help arrange it.
Asking the state to help with security issues is only a stopgap measure.
Zhao Ye is still more inclined to the bodyguards he has cultivated. Because he was really not sure if the bodyguards arranged for him above would actually be spying on him.
Zhao Ye is looking for a bodyguard?
Secretary Li's eyes lit up, this is a good thing.
"No problem, it's a trivial matter, I'll send someone to help you ask right away."
"Then thank you Secretary Li!"
"Serving the people, as a matter of course! Besides, Zhao Ye, your personal safety is also very important, if something happens to you, it will be a big loss for the country! Don't worry, this time I will definitely help you find a few very powerful bodyguards. ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, he looked forward to it in his heart, it was best to come to a few soldier kings, and then it would be a bunker......
