The car drove to the Qingyang District Municipal Building and stopped, and Yang He got off the car here: "Elbow, please free up your time in the evening and come to our place to have a look?"
"Huh? Why did you get out of the car? "
Feng Xueshan also opened the car door and prepared to change to the driver's seat: "The group has just taken over the work of the government affairs center. The monk is in charge here. We come here every day to change drivers.”
“That’s it.” Zhou Zhi smiled: “We work together as a couple, and we also save a thousand monthly car allowance. Let’s go to karaoke on the bicycle. It’s time to spend time.”
After that, he said to Yang He, “Then we’ll see you tonight.”
Yang He said goodbye to everyone: "Then I'm going to work, goodbye elbow, this..."
Originally, he wanted to say hello to Mai Xiaomiao, but it turned out that she was looking at the plan attentively, starting from the beginning. I didn't even raise my eyes until the end, so I could only show my eyes slightly. He waved his hands in embarrassment: "...Uh, forget it."
As the first computer city in the capital of Shu, AXA IT Plaza's business is now so booming that it has become almost the entire four southwestern provinces, namely Information equipment trade center in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Tibet.
The first floor is a store for various digital products and brands. The decoration is full of modernity. Products include branded desktop computers, notebooks, game consoles, printers, projectors, scanners, video recorders, digital cameras, etc.
The second floor is the DIY area, which is full of small shops that build computers. Merchants here consider tailor-made installation plans for customers. From the chassis and motherboard to the keyboard and mouse, prices are given one by one, focusing on cost-effectiveness. Much cheaper than the brand store downstairs.
The third floor is the software area, which sells various CDs, but 99% of them are pirated CDs. This is a common phenomenon in China. Various software manufacturers can only rely on their own technical means to prevent piracy, but To be honest, the power is very weak.
This phenomenon has actually hurt the domestic software industry to a great extent. Because of the existence of piracy, the input-output ratio of software development has been seriously imbalanced. At present, in the domestic software industry, in addition to departments targeting enterprise use Except for software, which has a relatively high technical content and does not require upgrading software packages, forcing people to use genuine versions, everything else is basically "power generation with love".
The Clover Group's software industry wanted to take root in such a soil and survive. From the beginning, Zhou Zhi did not follow the path taken by domestic manufacturers, but chose several different paths. .
One way is to deeply bundle it with the operating system, such as the VC programming environment and WMP media player developed for WINDOWS.
This part of the revenue is not much in China, because domestic WINDOWS, except for large enterprises and government agencies, are almost all pirated users. However, for WINDOWS sales overseas, for every copy sold, Yotsuba The grass will get a share of the moisture.
The second way is to develop its own unique, extremely high-tech, operating system-level software that can penetrate into the industrial control chip level and be bound to the chip. The main market is also overseas, and it can be used as a benchmark universal platform for digital products. , which also leaves pirates useless.
The third way is firewall and anti-virus software. These two things need to be upgraded from time to time. Every time they are upgraded, the upgrade package will come with a genuine verification. Since there is a time difference between the cracking of pirated products and the release of genuine products, many users cannot wait for this time difference and are willing to buy genuine products in order to obtain timely and satisfactory services. This will greatly reduce the existence of pirated users.
The fourth way is to simply make it free, such as the Clover Browser, the real-time chat software Qiaokou, Hanwen Input Method, Clover Forum, etc. The group has also spent a lot of effort on maintenance, and everyone All are free to use.
Although these are free, they are necessary measures to solidify and accumulate users. When the Internet era truly comes, these user resources will be the group's greatest wealth. As for the flood of pirated software on the third floor of IT Plaza, Zhou Zhi really can't control it.
The fourth floor sells more professional equipment. Many of them only have stores here without equipment, such as satellite equipment, UPS uninterruptible power supply systems, program-controlled switches, amplifiers, routing equipment, security equipment, and detection. Maintenance equipment, etc., as well as high-end servers, minicomputers, medium-sized computers, etc.
It is generally calm here, and business discussions can be described as deserted compared to the three floors below. However, in terms of turnover and profits, they are actually far higher than those on the three floors below.
An IBM minicomputer modeled two years ago costs 350,000 here. As one of IBM's non-voting shareholders, George Darwin certainly knows how high the profits are here.
From the time IBM leaves the factory to the time it reaches the customer, the profit sharers at all levels will take away the profit of 70,000 to 100,000 yuan.
No way, this is what it feels like to have someone pinch your neck.
So what if it’s 400,000? Major domestic financial institutions have always invested heavily in their own information equipment, and their profits can afford such expensive equipment.
If you can't produce it yourself, you can only watch helplessly as others occupy your market.
After this floor, the two floors above are the service floors. According to Feng Xueshan’s suggestion, it has been opened up into game halls, food courts, cinemas, gyms, fashion stores and other places popular among young people. The large platform on the sixth floor also has an open small park-like platform with an open-air cafe and dessert shop.
Feng Xueshan really knows how to be romantic.
These six floors are the base floor of the building, and above that are standard office buildings.
Many well-known large companies now rent floors and office space here, including IBM, Oracle, and some communications companies such as Motorola, which have also set up their southwest centers here.
These companies are now troubled by the domestic communication conditions. AXA Digital Plaza, which has satellite communication line landing nodes, is an innate advantage that attracts them.
Currently, the only places with equivalent conditions are the capital Zhongguancun and Guangzhou University Town.
Of course, the one occupying the most floors is the Clover Group itself. There is even the group’s internal living area here, including almost everything from the canteen, fitness room to guest house.
Under Feng Xueshan’s management, this place has become a safe haven for young people who are willing to work overtime. Various small clubs have also been organized within the Clover Group. They use the Clover Forum to share information on topics such as travel and fitness. , cycling, calligraphy, music and other small communities that combine online and offline activities. If these small communities are well run, they will even grow into sub-sections of the forum, such as the novel and poetry forum where Zhou Zhi is the moderator.
There is also a president's room on the top floor of Clover Group, but it has been empty all year round and is the most uninterested room in the entire building. (End of chapter)
