Chapter 775: What, a price war?
If other media came to ask for help, Ren Yuefeng probably wouldn't care too much and let the public relations and other departments deal with it. But if it were Yanjing Business Daily, a media that is closely related to Dongling Hi-Tech, then it would be a different matter. Never mind.
As the uncrowned king, the role of public opinion and mouthpieces is also crucial to a company.
Just like Shenzhou Computer this time, if Yanjing Business News hadn't been the first to expose the huge profits of Internet cafes and make the Internet cafe industry appear in front of the public, it is estimated that the sales of Shenzhou Computer would not have exploded so fast.
Moreover, as a media outside Hanxi, the relationship between Yanjing Business News and Dongling Hi-Tech has always been quite harmonious. Although the two parties are not known as allies, they are considered to be quite close.
Therefore, Ren Yuefeng specifically mentioned it to Li Dongling about the visit of Yanjing Business News.
Of course, Li Dongling could hear the meaning of Ren Yuefeng's words and understood the relationship between Yanjing Business News and Dongling High-tech. He thought for a moment and said, "Invite them in, and you can reserve an hour for Yanjing Business News." Exclusive interview time! ”
This period of time is the busiest time for Dongling Hi-tech, including Li Dongling, Ren Yuefeng and others, who have a lot of things to deal with.
Needless to say, departments and units from Yanjing, as well as Hanxi Provincial City, came to Tanglin High-Tech for inspections. There were also parts suppliers and various agents who were going to Tanglin High-tech. Some of them also required Li Dongling to personally inspect. Go and meet.
Microsoft, after seeing the sales of Shenzhou computers and the Lingyun chain of Internet cafes, was also ready to make a move. After Ed Fleiss came to the country, he has not returned to America yet and is still staying in Hanxi. Obviously There is a plan.
In the past two days, Li Dongling has to go to the capital of Hanxi Province to deal with Dongxin Semiconductor. It is not only related to Shenzhou desktop computers and next-generation chips, but also plans for all-in-one computer chips. More importantly, , Dongxin Semiconductor’s first lithography machine has officially landed!
The all-in-one computer project is a bit of a trick. In terms of practicality, it is definitely not as good as a desktop computer, and in terms of portability, it is not as good as a notebook.
But precisely because of this, major computer manufacturers now don't care much about all-in-one computers, which allows them to avoid these two computer industry Shura fields and open up a new track.
In fact, Apple and Shenzhou are also facing the same situation. Jobs has just returned to Apple, which is in a mess of losses. Apple's desktop computer market share has almost been robbed. It is also facing IBM, Compaq, Dell, HP and other companies. opponent.
As a last resort, Jobs started the iMac project and started to find a new way. The iMac all-in-one project saved Apple's life with its good looks and cost-effective performance. In the first three months of its launch, 270,000 units were sold and the revenue exceeded 300 million. 5,000 US dollars, and sales exceeded 800,000 units by the end of the year.
Shenzhou's all-in-one machine will definitely have no chance of competing with Apple in America, but there is still hope for Shenzhou's all-in-one machine in markets outside of America.
In the past, Apple's all-in-one computers sold a lot of money in Canada, England, Germany, France, Japan, Singapore and other places. If you can sell the Shenzhou all-in-one computer in these regions, you have completed its overseas expansion.
As for when the time comes, between Shenzhou and Apple, which one is Li Gui or which one is Li Kui? Let’s see who can talk more powerfully!
Donglin Hi-Tech has supported Dongxin Semiconductor for so many years. This year, Donglin Semiconductor finally started to achieve results in chips and lithography machines!
Dongxin Semiconductor's current chip and lithography machine technology may not be the best in the world, but for lithography machines and chips, the technology is in your own hands and relying on others to supply it is completely different. At least you don't have to. Worried about being strangled at the critical moment, Li Dongling must go to the provincial capital in person.
Li Dongling has a lot of things going on these days, and being able to reserve an hour for an exclusive interview with Yanjing Business News is enough for Yanjing Business News to take it seriously.
……
"Editor Feng, please come this way. Mr. Li is already inside, waiting for you all!"
Shen Xingyao and Du Qishan received the personnel from Yanjing Business News, and after confirming the general content of the interview, they invited Feng Miayu and others over.
Although Dongling High-tech has a good relationship with Yanjing Business News, Shen Xingyao and the others still need to confirm the content of the interview before the interview, so as to avoid accidental interviews. Then it will be their assistants who are unlucky.
Regarding Shen Xingyao and Du Qishan's caution, Feng Miaoyu actually understood that the domestic media atmosphere was no longer what it was in previous years, and not just one or two companies were cheated by the media.
There are countless cases where the media deliberately edits the interviewee's words and hypes up the topic, directly tarnishing the interviewee's image.
Just like Zhang Jinlai, who has a lot of money. When he was criticized for acting, he accepted advertisements and performance orders, but no one said that an episode of playing White Horse was 500 yuan, and Zhang Jinlai only had 27 yuan. After filming Journey to the West for six years, he earned Two thousand yuan.
There are also so-called Sun Wukong played by others, but they are not Sun Wukong, only the one played by him is, etc. This is the pinnacle moment of journalism charm.
Therefore, Feng Miaoyu was also aware of Shen Xingyao's caution. Moreover, Feng Miaoyu knew that if Yanjing Business Daily wanted to continue dealing with Dongling Hi-tech in the future, it would probably be impossible to avoid these two people.
Feng Miaoyu, who has dealt with Dongling High-tech, understands that Shen Xingyao and Shen Xingyao have a high probability of becoming senior executives of Dongling High-tech in the future. After all, there is a precedent like Su Chicheng.
Entering Li Dongling's office, Feng Miaoyu and other people from Yanjing Business News, who were following Feng Miaoyu, couldn't help but curiously look at the office of the founder of the largest technology company in the country.
There may have been controversy before about who is the most powerful person in the domestic technology industry, but since Mr. Li topped Asia Weekly's Asia's top 20 richest people list as the founder of a technology company, this kind of The controversy basically evaporated.
In this era where heroes are judged by their worth, the fact that Mr. Li can enter Asia's top 20 richest people as the founder of a technology company basically confirms Li Dongling's powerful position in the technology industry in China.
Feng Miaoyu saw that Li Dongling's office did not have the office style of the old-school company bosses she had seen before. On his head hung a banner with words like "Be virtuous, ambitious, and open to all rivers" written by a master.
In addition to clothes, there is also a bookshelf filled with various classics to highlight the taste of the owner of the bookshelf.
On the contrary, Feng Miaoyu saw that Li Dongling's office was relatively simple, not luxurious, but very consistent with the attributes of a technology company. There was a Shenzhou white computer on the desk, and then several landline phones of different colors. "Editor Feng, long time no see!"
Li Dongling stood up and shook hands with Feng Miayu. He had witnessed Feng Miayu's changes in Yanjing Commercial Daily, from a young reporter to the current editor-in-chief.
Then he saw Feng Miaoyu looking at him curiously. Li Dongling glanced at Feng Miaoyu, and then saw Feng Miaoyu, who was somewhat similar to the two, and nodded kindly towards Feng Miaoyu.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for taking the time from his busy schedule to accept the exclusive interview with Yanjing Business News!"
Hearing Feng Miaoyu's words, Li Dongling laughed and said, "Dongguan Hi-tech doesn't have to accept interviews from other media. Chief Editor Feng personally led the team here. How could Tangling Hi-tech not accept it? Otherwise, who will host the interviews for Tanglin Hi-tech in the media industry in the future?" It’s fair!”
Hearing this, Feng Miaoyu looked at Li Dongling and said, "Yanjing Business News has never taken sides, it's just business!"
After this exchange of compliments, the atmosphere became quite harmonious. After Feng Miaoyu confirmed with Li Dongling, the cameramen and recorders behind immediately started recording.
"First of all, congratulations on the great success of Dongling Hi-tech's new product Shenzhou Computer. Can you tell me how many orders there are for Shenzhou Computer so far?" Feng Miaoyu first asked Li Dongling.
"Success is out of the question. The word success takes time to prove. It will also take time to prove whether the first generation of Shenzhou desktop computers are successful!
In terms of orders, Shenzhou Computer currently has orders for 140,000 units! ”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Li Dongling refused to open the champagne in advance, but also revealed the latest order data of Shenzhou Computer.
"In the first month of launch, the order volume of Shenzhou Computer has exceeded 140,000 units!"
Feng Miaoyu was also a little surprised. She knew that Shenzhou Computer was selling well, but she didn't expect that it could sell so fiercely.
"Now there are voices from the outside world that the large-scale emergence of Internet cafes will lead to the proliferation of games, which will have an impact on society and the learning of young people.
Most of the computers currently supplied to Internet cafes are from Shenzhou Computer. Mr. Li, what do you think? ”
The question asked by Feng Miaoyu became a bit sharp. Although the relationship between Yanjing Business News and Tanglin Hi-Tech is good, the questions asked cannot always be harmonious. Then just praise Donglin Hi-Tech directly. What kind of interview is needed?
Now that Internet cafes are beginning to appear on a large scale, many people are indeed worried that Internet cafes will spread like arcade game halls in the past. You must know that arcade game halls are still regarded by many people as ancient beasts.
Li Dongling pondered for a moment, "I heard that the leader in the Internet cafe industry, Lingyun Internet Cafe chain, promotes the Internet cafes to start online after the age of 18. This is a fuse for Internet cafe users.
Everything is a double-edged sword. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world. For a long time in the future, Internet cafes will become a channel for countless people in the country to access computers and the Internet.
The Internet is the mainstream of the future. No one can reject the Internet. That is rejecting the future. Being exposed to the Internet is not just for entertainment. In this industry, only by finding a place where you can settle down can you gain a foothold in the future! ”
"In addition, Shenzhou Computer, due to production capacity reasons, will also adopt a quota system for the supply of computers in Internet cafes!"
In fact, Li Dongling also played with the concept of sneak exchange and linked Internet cafes to the Internet.
But this is unavoidable. Internet cafes cannot be stigmatized, at least not this year, otherwise Shenzhou Computer will also be stigmatized.
In addition, Li Dongling did not completely fool people. The next twenty or thirty years will be the era of the Internet. If anyone in this industry seizes the opportunity, it will not be difficult to achieve financial freedom or find a way to make a living.
To put it bluntly, in the early days of the Internet, you could make a lot of money by building bricks for certain games, setting up a game studio, and providing games for others. It all depended on whether you were willing to consider this.
However, these things can only be done in the early stage, and you can earn some living expenses in the later stage. If you want to make a lot of money with this thing, you might as well see if you can become famous in the short video era.
Hearing Li Dongling's somewhat mysterious words, Feng Miaoyu couldn't tell whether Li Dongling's words were true or false, but she felt that they were not completely deceptive.
"Mr. Li, some computer manufacturers believe that Shenzhou Computer is engaging in disgusting competition, maliciously engaging in price wars, and disrupting the domestic computer market. What do you think?"
"Oh?!"
When Li Dongling heard this question, he really laughed, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, with a bit of sneer, "If they think it is, then so be it, they can start a price war with Shenzhou Computer and fight to the death. That kind!”
"The pricing power of the domestic computer industry has always been in the hands of foreign computers. Shenzhou Computer believes that it is time to return to the hands of domestic computer manufacturers!"
