Chapter 760 Horn
This time is exactly like that. If you think about the scene in the previous life, when Rebus shouted out the price of the first Xiaomi at the press conference, you can imagine the madness at the Shenzhou Computer press conference at this moment!
Countless people had stood up and shouted to Li Dongling on the stage. A group of media reporters pressed their shutters desperately to record the crazy scene of the press conference.
Not to mention the melon-eating masses, even reporters from computer industry professional media such as Computer Newspaper felt crazy at this moment!
In fact, the price of Shenzhou Computer that Li Dongling shouted was beyond the expectations of everyone present. They had thought that Shenzhou Computer would be priced very high, but they did not expect that it would be the current price!
What is the current market situation in the domestic computer industry? Foreign brands occupy the top spot. Whether it is American products or Japanese benzene products, they dare to sell for more than 20,000 yuan.
The price of domestic computers is cheaper, but the price is still around 12,000. There are some cheap entry-level models, but needless to say in terms of workmanship, they even have high quality and are old stocks from a few years ago.
Everyone knows how fast electronic products are updated and iterated. However, an old model from a few years ago has almost completely poor performance, and even some software cannot run properly. However, in China, it can be sold for seven Eight thousand yuan, or even ten thousand yuan.
The domestic computer industry, to put it bluntly, is a dumping ground for overseas computer brands and computer component giants such as Intel.
They sell old inventory that could not be sold a few years ago and sell it domestically at a higher price. This not only clears up the inventory, but also makes a lot of money!
Domestic import of Intel chips costs foreign exchange. The money to buy a chip requires hard work and export of hundreds or thousands of shirts to earn back.
"As I said at the beginning of today's press conference, Shenzhou Computer will bring the country into the Internet era and make computers affordable to domestic users, and they will be good computers!"
The Shenzhou logo on the peaked cap on Li Dongling's head shone brightly under the light. There were many students who came from universities in Hanxi Province to attend the press conference. At this moment, their eyes were looking at Li Dongling with enthusiasm.
"Shenzhou Computer hopes that all Chinese people can use Shenzhou Computer and enter the Internet era. It is a brilliant era and the Chinese people should not be missing!"
After saying this, Li Dongling put down the microphone, bowed his head slightly to greet the audience at the press conference, and then turned and left.
At this time, the atmosphere at the scene had reached its peak. Shenzhou's slogans resounded throughout the press conference. The media reporters and cameramen present were all pressing the shutter button and focusing the camera on Li Dongling's back.
So much so that Li Dongling's figure was shrouded in a film of lights. When Feng Miaoyu saw this scene, she suddenly had a hunch that this scene might be remembered by more people. She couldn't help but raise the camera in her hand and adjusted the parameters. Then the shutter was pressed!
Li Dongling walked down the stage and nodded to Chen Tao. The latter would come on stage and briefly introduce the functions of Shenzhou Computer to the audience, as well as how to use it. Then the press conference basically came to an end.
After sitting down, Li Dongling drank a bottle of water, and then he felt his throat that was about to smoke was relieved a little.
The scene still didn't calm down, and not many people listened to Chen Tao's explanation. Really, with the performance of Shenzhou Computer and its pricing, what kind of bicycle do you need?
Li Dongling glanced back. Regarding the pricing of Shenzhou Computer's first machine, Li Dongling did not rush towards the so-called high-end market from the beginning.
For no other reason, how big is the cake in the domestic computer market now? Even if a computer is priced at 100,000 yuan a computer, if no one buys it, we will still sit on the cake!
According to statistics, domestic computer sales last year were close to 2.1 million units. This market was divided between a large group of domestic computer manufacturers and overseas computer giants.
Even if a machine is priced at 20,000 yuan, so what? With the current income situation in the country, how many families will buy a computer worth 20,000 yuan?
Isn't this thing the same as the 200,000-dollar Santana? How many domestic families are buying Santana now? Those who can really afford it may not be interested in this car.
By the same token, in the computer industry, computers with more than 20,000 units can indeed be sold, but it is hard to say how many units can be sold in a year...
Most domestic households purchase computers for about 10,000 yuan, including unit purchases, which is the limit of current domestic income levels.
According to such data, the size of the domestic computer market per year is around 20 to 30 billion yuan.
But not all of this money falls in the hands of computer manufacturers. It also has to be paid to component manufacturers such as Intel, Microsoft's systems, dealers, and production, sales, and advertising costs. Finally, it goes to How many dollars are left in the hands of computer manufacturers?
If Shenzhou Computer continues to cut leeks, then in the end, it is estimated that it will only earn a few more yuan than Lianxiang, but it will not change the general trend of the domestic computer industry.
Therefore, what Li Dongling plans to ask Shenzhou Computer to do is to cultivate the market first and make the cake bigger so that it can be full!
The current price of Shenzhou computers is 8,000 yuan, which is lower than those of foreign computer brands and high-end models such as Lianxiang.
But if the timeline is extended, if Shenzhou Computer can stabilize its pricing power, next year, the year after, or even ten or twenty years from now, Shenzhou Computer’s main models will be priced at more than 8,000 yuan. At that time, Shenzhou Computer will be Not a high-end brand?
When faced with the price-performance ratio of Shenzhou computers, I asked if brands such as Lianxiang, Great Wall, and Inspur, including IBM and Dell, would cut their prices?
Even for the sake of sales, the price is expected to be lowered than that of Shenzhou Computer. When they panicked and made trouble, they naturally gave up the market's pricing power!
As long as Donglin Hi-tech lets Shenzhou Computer launch mid- to low-end models and compete with them, it will disgust them to death!
When the press conference ended, the media and reporters present not only did not leave, but instead swarmed towards Li Dongling.
"Mr. Li, if you stabilize Shenzhou Computer's pricing, will you lose money?"
"Is Shenzhou Computer targeting other computer brands?"
"Will such pricing disrupt the market order of the computer industry?"
"The profits of other domestic computer brands are not high. If they are priced the same as Shenzhou Computer, they will fall into a loss situation. Will this be a blow to domestic computers?"
Reporters from all walks of life threw a lot of questions at Li Dongling. Some reporters even worried about whether Shenzhou Computer's pricing would destroy the domestic computer industry. "The market and users will give all the answers!"
Li Dongling only left these words and left under the escort of a group of security personnel.
After seeing Li Dongling and the executives of Dongling Hi-Tech leaving, representatives from computer companies at the press conference took the lead in breaking up and hurriedly reported to their respective headquarters about the conference.
Even Zhou Weikun, the president of IBM Greater China, made a call to IBM headquarters after getting in the car.
Zhou Weikun understands technology. Facing this model at the press conference, Zhou Weikun actually felt threatened.
In the past, although IBM was cutting leeks in the country, it did not threaten its existence in the country. However, the emergence of Shenzhou Computer made Zhou Weikun feel a little bad. Shenzhou Computer has opened up the bottom of the computer industry!
……
"Donngling Hi-Tech seems to have launched a good model!"
On Microsoft's side after leaving the press conference, Walter, chairman of Microsoft Greater China, also talked about Shenzhou Computer with Ed Fleiss.
"I think it is necessary to send a Shenzhou computer to Microsoft headquarters!" Ed Fleiss said to Walter.
Donglin Hi-Tech and Microsoft have signed multiple cooperation agreements, including cooperation in computers.
In the past, Microsoft wanted to enter this industry, but was blocked by all kinds of obstacles. In addition, its hardware business was indeed stretched, and it was often beaten severely.

But with Zhu Yu in front of him with a stargazing video recorder, Microsoft began to have more expectations. A stargazing event made Microsoft's stock price soar. If it can really launch a computer brand, how high can Microsoft's stock price rise?
……
People who watched the Shenzhou Computer press conference had different moods. Some were worried, some were excited about eating a big melon, and some had not eaten the meat, but they were already looking forward to it.
But for those who didn't watch this press conference, it wasn't much better. They were restless all night.
"No news has come back yet?"
"The Shenzhou Computer Conference is not over yet?"
Boss Liu even thought about the headquarters and wanted to close his eyes and rest, but he still couldn't feel at ease. He finally couldn't help but ask his confidant General Guo Wei.
Guo Wei was guarding a phone, shook his head and said, "There is no news yet, but it should be soon..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the urgent sound of the phone started to ring like a war horn. Boss Liu was startled by the ringtone. For some reason, Boss Liu always had a bad feeling.
"I am Guo Wei!"
"What's going on at the Shenzhou press conference? What's the price of Shenzhou computers?"
Guo Wei asked at the other end of the phone, and then the voice came back from the phone, which made Guo Wei's expression change. "What did you say, eight thousand yuan?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Liu's right eyelid couldn't help but beat hard several times.
"Why panic!"
Boss Liu regained his expression, but his clenched fists also showed that his heart was not as calm as he showed at the moment.
"How much does Shenzhou Computer cost?" Even though he had just heard it, Boss Liu asked again.
"The Shenzhou computer is priced at... 8,000 RMB. It has also launched a variety of gifts. In addition, there are software such as Master Lu's benchmark score. The performance is compared with one of our computers. The result..." Guo Wei did not continue, but Boss Liu also knows what the latter means.
"Shuzi is going too far!"
Boss Liu couldn't help but curse, but after scolding, panic began to appear in his heart.
