Chapter 707: Killing Through
In his previous life, Rebus once introduced the famous "Lei's Contrast Method". This method is comparable to a magical tool in the press conference, and can turn decay into magic.
Using this comparison method, a junior college in a small fifth-tier city can crush the men's vocational college in Wudaokou.
Even the most rubbish model can rely on this theory to instantly kill the latest products of other manufacturers. It can be called the nuclear weapon of the press conference.
In comparison, the all-glass lens with a body that is thinner than a coin, which makes Zhou Hongyi sigh, and the famous saying that beer bottles are blown through with pure high-pressure gas. The promotion of Dafa can only take a back seat.
To promote Shenzhou Computer, you don’t need to spend a lot of money, but you still need to use some basic publicity strategies.
Human psychology, when buying some products, also needs to accept the promotion of these products.
In this way, users can have the best feeling of producing the products they buy, and they can be happy after buying them back. Who wants to buy a backward product, even if the budget is not too big...
< br>“In addition to the boot time, the Master Lu software also needs to have a benchmarking function. At the press conference, Master Lu will allow Shenzhou computers to benchmark against other brands of computers at the same time.
Need Show everyone the performance of Shenzhou computers through running scores!”
Li Dongling explained to Chen Tao while dragging the mouse. When Chen Tao and several Shenzhou Computer project designers behind him heard this, they felt as if they were enlightened and looked at Li Dongling with astonished eyes.
In the past few years, all the major brands in the computer industry have boasted about themselves, saying that they are better than their competitors, but no one can tell clearly where they are.
But now, Shenzhou Computer uses an independent, fair and impartial third-party computer evaluation software to compare with other brands of computers, comparing the chip, graphics card, memory and storage performance through paper data. .
Which one is stronger and which one is worse can't be compared at a glance? !
What, are you worried that Master Lu of Shenzhou Computer won’t be able to win?
At worst, let Tianya Company deeply optimize Master Lu with Shenzhou Computer. Are you afraid that it won't be able to run faster?
On the podium, what needs to be worried about is not that Shenzhou Computer cannot win, but that it must restrain itself and not go too far. Master Lu will crush other brands of computers into scum. It doesn’t look good.
Li Dongling pulled the mouse. The mouse used in the No. 10 prototype was specially developed by the Silver Sable Mouse Department for Shenzhou Computer.
To put it more bluntly, the customized mouse is completely compatible with Shenzhou Computer, and there is no mismatch at all.
But when Li Dongling slides the mouse, he does not feel particularly flexible. This is not the same as freezing, but it feels that the frequency is not fast enough.
Li Dongling also knows that this is not a problem of Shenzhou Computer, but the current situation of the entire computer industry.
Opening Jinshan's WPS software, Li Dongling held a stopwatch and calculated the time. It was neither too fast nor too slow.
Basically, it’s “smooth”. Compared with competitors, major computers nowadays have no concept of software optimization at all. As long as the software can be opened and the software freezes and crashes a few times, it’s considered good. Yes.
Chen Tao frowned slightly when he saw Li Dongling, "Jinshan, what the Shenzhou Computer project team means is that this computer should still be "stable". When trying to increase the speed of the computer, Make files running on the computer bug-free!”
As Shenzhou’s first computer, Chen Tao, who is at the helm of the entire project, is now under tremendous pressure. What the entire computer R&D team must pursue first is "Stablize".
As long as the computer project is successfully completed without errors and can run stably, on this basis, improving the computer's running speed, adding more functions, etc., and doing fancy things, will be a matter for the future.
When Li Dongling heard what Chen Tao said, he just glanced at him. Although Chen Tao was pursuing "stability," as long as it could meet expectations, this computer would have surpassed many other brands.
Li Dongling took turns to open a series of software such as Microsoft office software, UFIDA financial software, Kingdee management software, Jiangmin anti-virus software, Tianya Forum, Himalaya Radio and so on in the background.
Every time they saw Li Dongling open another software, Chen Tao and the designers of Shenzhou Computer felt a little nervous.
The establishment of the team has been tested and true, but no one knows what kind of reaction the God of Machines will have every time.
Li Dongling took turns to open several software and websites, and the entire backend was basically full. In this day and age, it can be considered powerful. Other computers that dared to play like this would have long been stuck. I switched between different software in turns. To be honest, the running speed was not very fast, but at least it was still running and the software did not crash. This was considered a pass.
Li Dongling opened the "Quake" game again. The picture quality...don't talk about it. It's not much better anyway. The graphics card of Shenzhou Computer is from Nvidia and ATI. Supplied by these two graphics card manufacturers, both of which are invested by Zhixing Foundation.
With the pricing of Shenzhou Computer, it is impossible to order high-end graphics cards from manufacturers such as 3Dfx and Taiding. Each graphics card only costs several hundred dollars. How much should Shenzhou Computer be priced at?
So, Shenzhou Computer customized its graphics card from NVIDIA and ATI, and it is also a mid-range model with excellent cost performance. In other words, this graphics card can do all kinds of work, but its performance is mediocre in games that require graphics cards. General.
There's nothing you can do about it. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Shenzhou's first computer pursues sales volume, so the price can't be too high. It's enough to meet the needs of most people.
After Li Dongling experienced it for a while, he felt that this product, destined to be moved into the Shenzhou Product Exhibition Hall in the future, and regarded as a part of the history of the Shenzhou brand, was passable.
“For products running on Shenzhou computers, the running speed must continue to be optimized, but the stability must also be reliable.
It is necessary to let people who use computers for office work, designers, as well as units and securities companies Companies, banks and other institutions all have the feeling that Shenzhou Computer is the most reliable!"
Li Dongling told Chen Tao that as long as Shenzhou Computer can prove its reliability, it can win over city government departments, schools, and other institutions. It is not difficult to place orders from banks, hospitals, etc.
Could it be that if you even think about it, if you can get orders from these places, Tanglin Hi-Tech can't get it? !
After leaving the laboratory and arriving at Chen Tao's office, Li Dongling asked Chen Tao what he had not asked in the meeting just now, "According to the current parts calculation, the cost of producing a Shenzhou computer is How much? "
Chen Tao knew it was coming, but it was coming anyway. The only thing that determines the fate of Shenzhou Computer is sales, and only sales!
Now is an era where success or failure is judged by sales volume. If a computer sells well, it is a success. Don’t worry about junk configuration or other things. If it sells well, it is great.
On the contrary, no matter how solid the workmanship and materials are, if the sales volume is not good, it is a death sentence. This is the standard of the computer industry in this era!
And what can determine the sales volume of a computer is always the key!
“According to the current configuration of Shenzhou Computer, the current purchase cost of Dongxin Semiconductor’s Tianji chip is US$400.
Manager Wu Xinyi said that as long as mass production starts on a large scale, the Tianji chip will The price can be reduced, as long as Shenzhou Computer sells The sales volume can exceed 500,000 units, and the cost of the Tianji chip can be reduced to about US$345!”
Dongxin Semiconductor is also constantly adjusting the process of the Tianji chip, and has just developed it! When it came out, the cost of Tianji chips was still US$450 per piece.
This year, it has been gradually reduced to 400 US dollars. After large-scale mass production, the cost has been reduced to 300 US dollars, which is the cost of 2,400 yuan per chip. It is not impossible.
For Dongxin Semiconductor, this time is also a big test. Once it is proven that Tianji chips are reliable, and Tianji’s cost performance is much higher than that of Intel, as long as the sales are opened, shipments can begin continuously!
"The graphics cards supplied to Shenzhou computers by Nvidia and ATi are mid-range graphics cards priced at US$100, and the hard drives are supplied by IBM at a price of US$125.
The rest of Shenzhou Computer accessories, including computer screens, memory sticks, mice, keyboards, motherboards, chassis, power supplies and other components, are all manufactured by Tanglin Hi-Tech Zero Parts industry chain procurement.
Some parts are not supplied by Donglin High-tech, but they are also purchased from domestic companies."
Chen Tao said, "The current production cost of Shenzhou Computer is . It's about 850 US dollars, which is about 6,800 yuan. The price is recommended to be around 8,000 to 9,000 yuan.
Computers with the same configuration and performance from Lianxiang, Great Wall, Founder and other brands cost more than 10,000 yuan! ”
This price will definitely be considered astronomical in later generations, but this is the price of computers in this era, easily tens of thousands of dollars.
This is still the price of domestic brands. A little more "conscientious", like IBM's most common low-end machine , the price is more than 15,000 yuan, and it is not unusual for high-end models to be 20,000 yuan or 30,000 yuan.
But Li Dongling frowned when he heard the price, "The cost still needs to be reduced a little, to 6,000 yuan. The issue price also needs to be lowered, and the selling price should be lowered to less than 8,000 yuan!
After large-scale mass production in the future, the cost will be reduced to less than 5,000 yuan, or even lower. The goal of Shenzhou Computer is to have a Shenzhou computer in every household in the country! ”
Other brands of components, such as chips, graphics cards, screens, memory, etc., all rely on imports. Although Shenzhou Computer relies on imports for some of its components, not all of them.
Generally speaking, graphics cards and hard drives still need to be imported, but even graphics cards are "our own". As long as mass production starts on a large scale, the cost can be reduced!
“In the parts industry chain of Dongling Hi-tech, communication is communicated by the headquarters. When the first-generation Shenzhou computer was officially released, the price was...7,500 yuan!”
Li Dongling said , since you want to play, you must play a big one. This pricing directly breaks through the entire domestic computer pricing system!
