Chapter 357 Replacement
After the early sales of Shenzhou U disk, sales have now begun to enter a stable period, and sales are still there. After all, the annual sales of computers in China exceed 1.2 million units, and the total number of computers in stock exceeds 15.9 million. tower.
It’s just that the number of computers per capita is too small. Among every 10,000 people in China, only 88 people have computers. Of course, this is an average. In fact, these computer users are mainly concentrated in big cities such as Yanjing and Shanghai. Municipal government units, companies, schools, high-income families, etc.
Ordinary families in small and medium-sized cities and below the county level do not have the budget to buy a large home appliance such as a computer, which can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan. A product of the same level as a motorcycle does not require a lot of money. It takes several years for a family to save money before they can afford a computer. What is it if it’s not a big appliance?
In the same period, America had more than 4,000 computers per 10,000 people. Basically, one out of two or three households had a computer. This was also the basis for the rise of the Internet in America. Because there is a real user scale, only quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.
Shenzhou USB flash drives are different from computers. Basically, if you use a computer now, you need to use it wherever you have access to the computer and need to store data. This is destined that the sales of Shenzhou USB flash drives will far exceed the sales of domestic computers!
The sales of Shenzhou U disks overseas, especially in America, Germany, England, the Netherlands and other places, are much better than in China. The computer penetration rate in these places is high, so the demand for U disks is naturally large. , keeping the overseas sales of Shenzhou USB flash drives at a steady high, with sales exceeding 10,000 units every day!
However, Shenzhou USB flash drives, which were originally experiencing a decline in domestic sales, actually bucked the trend and increased. When this news came out, it still surprised the domestic technology industry because it was unscientific.
Subsequently, countless people focused their attention on the Tianya Pinyin input method. The new sales of Shenzhou U disks almost depended on this input method.
The Tianya Pinyin input method is spreading at an alarming rate. Of course, there are still sounds. It is believed that the Wangma Wubi input method is more advanced and the typing speed is faster. As long as you learn it, no matter how difficult the characters are, you can Can be typed on a computer.
But obviously, more people vote with their feet. What’s wrong with typing faster? Blind typing with Wubi covering your eyes is more accurate than the Pinyin input method. There is no threshold and it is a Pinyin input method that everyone can use. Who would be willing to spend a few months learning typing when it's right in front of them? Just get started. Isn't it delicious?
Just after some media reported that the single-day sales of Shenzhou USB flash drives bucked the trend and increased by 5,800 units, in the next few days, the single-day sales of Shenzhou USB flash drives continued to hit record highs. , the performance is even more ferocious!
There are now 15.9 million computers in China, which is the largest demand for the co-branded Shenzhou USB flash drive. Coupled with the users who are in need of the USB flash drive, the subsequent sales of the Shenzhou USB flash drive have been reported in the media in astonishment , erupting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“The sales volume of the Shenzhou Tianya co-branded USB flash drive exceeded 8,000 units in a single day!”
“The sales volume of the joint-branded USB flash drive exceeded 10,000 units in a single day, and the sales volume exceeded 528 units. Ten thousand yuan!”
"The Tianya Pinyin input method has taken the domestic computer industry by storm. According to media computer users, more than 66.8% of computer users expressed their willingness to use the Tianya Pinyin input method!"
"The Tianya Pinyin input method adopts a new Sales model, this is a bold attempt for the domestic software industry!”
When the joint USB flash drive was released in the second week, the sales reached its peak, and the computer newspaper published statistics on the Shenzhou Tianya joint brand! The single-day sales volume of the USB flash drive exceeded 30,000 units, and the sales volume of the entire joint-branded USB flash drive exceeded 90,000 units!
A considerable part of these sales were driven by the Tianya Input Method. Similarly, the Tianya Pinyin Input Method software also broke a series of records for domestic software.
However, after that, the sales of co-branded USB flash drives began to decline because pirated versions of Tianya input method had appeared.
This is the current situation of the domestic software industry. The sales volume of the Shenzhou Tianya co-branded USB flash drive can exceed 100,000, which is entirely due to the speed of early distribution. If it is slower, I am afraid it will be pirated.
But even with the Shenzhou USB flash drive, it can sell 90,000 copies, which is already a huge hit. Compared with other domestic software, the treatment is much better. Of course, compared with overseas software giants such as Microsoft, it is definitely There's no comparison, they're not on the same level at all.
As a giant in the global software industry, Microsoft is still the undisputed king. Windows 95, released this year and confirming Microsoft's empire in the system industry, sold seven million copies in one month, with sales of Breaking six billion!
......
In the office building of Yanjing Tianya Company, when I heard that the sales volume of the Shenzhou Tianya co-branded USB flash drive exceeded 90,000 copies, there was a burst of applause. with cheers.
Even for Zhongguancun veterans like Zhou Zhiyi, Zhu Chongjun, and Wu Xiaojun, this is an achievement worth bragging about.
According to the agreement between Tianya and its sister company Shenzhou Storage, Tianya can get a proportional commission on the sales of jointly branded USB flash drives.
Like this time, the sales of 90,000 copies of the joint model, at least 70,000 to 80,000 copies, are related to the Tianya Pinyin input method, and the revenue brought by this part of the sales is 4,200 Around 10,000 yuan. According to the agreed commission, the Tianya Pinyin Input Method team can get about 6.3 million yuan!
Not to mention the amount of this income, it at least proves that some people are willing to use the Tianya Pinyin input method. This greatly increases the confidence of the input method research and development team headed by Zhou Zhijun.
Relying on the commission from the co-branded USB flash drive and the purchase fees of the Yanjing City Government Department for purchasing the Tianya Pinyin Input Method, these incomes are basically enough to support the launch of the next generation version of the Tianya Pinyin Input Method. !
Guo Jingyun also smiled and applauded the Tianya input method team. This was not only the income gained by the input method team, but also the first income received by Tianya company. Naturally, it was necessary to celebrate. "Old Zhou, congratulations!"
After receiving the news, Wang Jiangmin and others from Jiangmin Anti-Virus Software Technology, who are in the same office building as Tianya Company, also ran over and congratulated Zhou Zhijun. road.
Guo Jingyun praised the input method team a few words and promised to pay bonuses this month. Then he returned to the office and reported to Li Dongling the sales volume of the Tianya Pinyin input method.
……
However, if some people are happy and some are sad, if some are laughing, then there must be others who are sad. In Yanjing Wangma Company, there is a bit of gloom and gloom at this moment.
“The Tianya Pinyin input method is far less useful than our Wangma. My touch typing speed is several times faster than this Pinyin input method. I really don’t know what those people think and like to use this method. Input method! ”
After experiencing the Pinyin input method, a developer from Wangma Company criticized the Pinyin input method as useless from the inside out, and looked at it angrily. Wang Yongmin, the founder of Wangma, who was sitting next to him and looking at the Pinyin input method, said.
Wang Yongmin looked at the Pinyin input method on the computer screen without saying a word, but his eyes showed a look of helplessness and loss. He had a hunch that it seemed to belong to the era of Wubi typing, which was a bit outdated...
< br>In the past, Wangma Wubi Typing’s opponents were those manufacturers that pirated Wubi Input Method. There were five to six hundred computer, Hanka, and Xiaobawang learning machine manufacturers that pre-installed Wubi Typing but did not pay royalties to Wangma Company. Company, Wangma Company is litigating with them all day long.
But now, Wangma Company has another "rival". Tianya Company, which launched the Pinyin input method, is a brand new opponent this time, but Wang Yongmin feels a little helpless.
As a veteran in the Chinese character input method industry, Wang Yongmin was not blinded by anger and dissatisfaction. He could see the real difference between Wubi typing and Tianya Pinyin input method just by looking at it. Because of this, he felt helpless.
"Mr. Wang, look at this report..."
The director of the marketing department of Wangma Company ran in sweating profusely and handed a copy of the Mainland Computer News Wang Yongmin looked very anxious.
Computer News is now the official newspaper of the domestic computer industry. It is jointly launched by the Ministry of Information Industry and the Electronic Information Research Institute. It basically represents the authoritative report of the domestic computer industry.
Wang Yongmin opened the newspaper, glanced at it, and was stunned. He saw the headline above, which read, "The emergence of the Tianya Pinyin input method will, like the Microsoft Windows 95 system, bring computers into the era of explosion in China!"
"Microsoft's latest operating system and the emergence of Tianya Pinyin input method have greatly reduced the difficulty and threshold of computer operation. They allow the public to operate computers more easily. The era of universal computerization is coming. It is expected that domestic Computer sales will usher in a new explosion..."
After seeing the Computer Newspaper’s comments on the Tianya Pinyin Input Method, Wang Yongminzheng was there, wondering what he was thinking. The Computer Newspaper’s comments on the Tianya Pinyin Input Method After the report, there is no such thing as Tianya input method. It is not as good as Wubi and the like, and the typing speed is slow and so on.
On the contrary, it represents the advancement of technology, making it easier for users to use computers to type, and there is no need to deliberately learn Wubi typing.
Wang Yongmin knows that from now on, except for some departments of the city government that require computer typing speed, as well as special occupations and industries such as banking and accounting, the rest of the computer users will no longer need Wubi typing. !
Everyone in Wangma Company was silent for a while. They also had a hunch that the era of Wangma Company and Wubi Typing had passed!
Wangma Wubi typing will definitely be sold in the future, and there will be more or less demand for it, but in the past, people would practice Wubi typing after buying a computer. In order to let their children practice Wubi typing, parents even bought them The days of the Little Overlord learning machine are gone forever.
......
In Pingyang Yuhe Leisure Resort, Li Dongling came back after answering a phone call and faced Yao Zhengru, General Manager of Torch Group Zhang Xiaocheng, and General Manager of Hanxi State Investment Corporation who were sitting opposite. Manager Wu Yaoguo and others smiled and said, "That's the call from Yanjing Tianya Company!"
