Rebirth of Hong Kong Island: I am a world tycoon

"What about Qiu Qingquan and Chen Yu?" Chen Zhixue asked Simon who followed behind him.

"Boss, they're still debugging the first generation of genesis computers, trying to find out what flaws they still have, and try to make them as perfect as possible. Simon replied.

Chen Zhixue nodded and said to Simon, "Please help me call them over."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the genesis computer in front of him.

Simon said yes and went out.

Looking at the computer in front of him, which was an antique machine for him, Chen Zhixue operated the computer with the mouse and exited the small game of the police catching the thief.

This kind of game, playing is more boring than the minesweeper he played in his previous life, it's too out, and after a few games, he is not interested.

However, for those who are new to computers, Chen Zhixue believes that it should be very attractive.

"This computer, how to say it, although technically it is on par with the laboratory of Texas Instruments, but this genesis computer is obviously more suitable for ordinary people to operate, and the new computer for research in the laboratory of Texas Instruments is only suitable for professionals to play, ordinary people can't play at all. Zhang Zhongmou also tried to play for a while, and then commented.

He himself is not from a technical background, and he naturally doesn't know much about more professional things, but his vision is very vicious, and he knows the advantages of the genesis computer at a glance.

"This is the key to whether our genesis computer can beat other top technology companies in the world and seize the computer market, the customers we face are not technicians, nor programmers, but ordinary people, the kind of people who do not have any technology, even if they don't know anything about computers, but they can quickly get started, this is our advantage. Chen Zhixue said with a smile.

Zhang Zhongmou nodded and agreed with Chen Zhixue's words.

"I just returned to Hong Kong Island, and I'm going on a business trip to California again, so I've worked hard for you. Chen Zhixue said.

"It's nothing, I used to work at Texas Instruments, managing more than 30,000 employees, and I need to run back and forth between Europe and the United States, this week in Texas, next week in California, and another week, maybe in London, this kind of life, I'm used to it, and it's actually good to be able to go back and meet old friends." Zhang Zhongmou said with a smile.

Soon, Chen Yu and Qiu Qingquan walked in.

This is Zhang Zhongmou's new office, Chen Zhixue's computer in front of him, is one of the test machines, has been installed in the company everywhere, can be regarded as a test of the stability of multiple computer LAN and the practicability of work.

"Boss, Zhang Dong. Chen Yu and Qiu Qingquan greeted Chen Zhixue and Zhang Zhongmou in unison.

Chen Zhixue nodded and said to them, "You sit down first." Waiting

for a few people to sit down, Zhang Zhongmou asked: "There is still a week before the computer exhibition, we need to determine the price of the computer, how much does this machine cost at present?"

This is also the reason why Chen Zhixue asked the two of them to come over, the machine is basically determined, and the price should be one, otherwise pick up the exhibition, others ask how much this machine is, there is no price, then the exhibition is lonely.

Although this computer was made through Chen Zhixue's suggestion, after all, the two of them led the team to develop it for a period of time before they came out, and in terms of the cost of accessories, these two people should know it clearly.

"The overall cost of the machine, we currently control it at about 1300 US dollars, but if mass production, I believe that the cost can be reduced to less than 1200 US dollars, this is because some accessories need to be customized from the United States, we can not produce on Hong Kong Island, if Hong Kong Island can produce most of the accessories, the cost can even be directly pressed to less than 1000 US dollars. Qiu Qingquan said.

"There is no way for this for the time being, after all, the industrial base of Hong Kong Island is too poor, let them build a chassis is OK, some precision accessories, you can't get it, let's do it first, and then slowly improve the supply chain of Hong Kong Island, other companies can make it, we can share the cake to others, we can't make it, we have to find a way to make it, the most important accessories, we must master the technology, otherwise it is easy to be stuck by others." Chen Zhixue said solemnly.

There are too many lessons in this area in later generations, and if you don't master the core technology, even if you stand tall, you will risk falling.

"According to last year's hottest sales is the Wang2200 computer produced by Wang An Computer Company, the price is 3500 US dollars, with our current genesis computer technology, it is much higher than the Wang2200 computer, so we want to order a price that can be affordable for everyone and make money, I don't know what you suggest?" Zhang Zhongmou asked, he has been living in the United States, and he also has a certain understanding of the computer market.

"The cost of $1,200, plus the cost of labor, transportation, etc., has to go to $1,500, so I suggest that the price be set at $3,000, so that our funds will flow back faster, and this price is really cost-effective for this computer, you know, our former company HP launched a new micro commercial computer this year, the price reached $8,900. Chen Yu said his suggestion.

"Then I don't know how much sales are there?" Chen Zhixue asked curiously.

"By the time we left, the HP computer had only sold more than 900 units, which was too expensive for individuals to afford, and the Wang 2200 computer, according to the Times, sold more than 21,000 units last year. Qiu Qingquan gave the answer.

"I'm actually more inclined to sell this genesis computer, after all, the company can't buy much, but at present, our total cost is still more than 1,000 US dollars, if the price is set below 2000 US dollars, basically no money to make, commercial computers or personal computers, we need to find the right target, if the price is set at 3000 US dollars or even more expensive, so that the vast majority of people can't afford it at all. Chen Zhixue is a bit contradictory.

According to his ideas, there is no plan to develop in the direction of commercial computers, after all, commercial computers are only social companies, and there are too few customers for them, although the profits will be higher, but the penetration rate will be greatly reduced.

"Let me talk about my suggestion, we are a new brand, there is no international popularity, although the genesis brand electrical appliances in Europe and the United States began to sell, I looked at the genesis group statements, sales seem to be good, but after all, it is an ordinary electrical appliance, our first generation of genesis computers have not yet appeared, do not expect to be able to sell tens of thousands or even more at once, what is the most important thing for us to do now? That is the need to be an instant hit, need to have enough visibility in the world, so that when everyone talks about computers, we can think of our genesis computer, so that we are successful, as for sales, although the higher the better, but it is not what we are pursuing now, therefore, the high price is not a bad thing, and when we are the second generation, we will consider the cost reduction and increase in sales, at that time, we already have enough popularity in the world, once the inexpensive genesis of the second generation of computers appears, sales are inevitable. Zhang Zhongmou said what he thought.
