Chapter 779 The Battle of Xiangji Temple
Boss Liu’s words are in line with the characteristics of this era. The most popular words now are internationalization, globalization, global village, information highway, etc.
Regardless of whether you understand the meaning or not, if you don't use a few words like this when gathering with celebrities and big shots, you may seem a little out of step with the trend.
Many people in China believe these words. The famous saying that it is better to buy than to build and to rent is worse than buying has been circulated for a long time.
After Boss Liu's words, those manufacturers who had just complained about the expensive Intel chips became somewhat silent again.
After saying this, Boss Liu said another heart-wrenching sentence, "Tianji chips are supplied to computer manufacturers other than Shenzhou Computer. What is the supply price?
If everyone chooses Tianji, what will happen if the price of Dongxin Semiconductor increases in the future?
In the future, if everyone chooses Tianji, once domestic computers lag behind overseas computers by one or even two generations, and there will be a huge gap with foreign technology, who will be able to bear such losses? ”
Of course, Dongxin Semiconductor's Tianji chip is cheaper than Intel's, but it is supplied to the Shenzhou computers of fellow students, so the cost of a Tianji chip can be reduced to US$320, but if it is supplied to other brands, no matter how cheap it is, I'm afraid it will also cost four to five hundred dollars.
Similarly, as Boss Liu said, if everyone chooses Tianji, Intel's second-generation Pentium can save 350-nanometer chips for high-end computer models. Do they want it?
In fact, Boss Liu has suppressed the unwillingness of these computer manufacturers present. The computer manufacturers who can come here must still want to compete, and they are unwilling to have their market share taken away by Shenzhou.
Once you use the Tianji chip, it is equivalent to joining the Dongxin Semiconductor camp. In the future, Dongxin Semiconductor's high-end chips will definitely be given priority to Shenzhou.
So, these computer manufacturers that have taken refuge in Dongxin Semiconductor will always lag behind Shenzhou. How can they compete with Shenzhou?
There are countless similar incidents in China. In the past life, there was an era of domestic electric vehicle explosion.
The intelligent driving system launched by the Chrysanthemum Factory and the electric vehicles launched by the old oil truck companies would rather use the driving system developed by the Hebrews than join the driving system camp of the Chrysanthemum Factory. The chrysanthemum factory has lost its soul...
The same is true in the computer industry. Once you use Dongxin Semiconductor's chips, you seem to have lost your edge, more like losing the opportunity to challenge Shenzhou Computer. Therefore, these computer manufacturers are very entangled.
I have to say that Boss Liu's method of manipulating people's hearts is really top-notch. Liao Liao's few words planted a thorn in the hearts of these computer brand executives and Dongxin Semiconductor.
"If the prices of Intel's chips, Toshiba's hard drives, and Samsung's memory sticks can be reduced, of course we are willing to use more advanced products!"
"Yes, if there are more advanced chips and the price is reasonable, everyone will definitely be willing to use them!"
Boss Liu's words attracted many computer manufacturers below to say that if Intel's knife to cut leeks was not so harsh, then they would definitely be willing to use Intel's big-brand chips.
After all, even among computer users, most users are willing to use Intel chips. After all, the world's "famous" brands are definitely more reliable.
Dongxin has only been established for a few years. Apart from domestic chips, it is hard to say whether it is reliable or how long it will last.
"This is also the purpose of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association's meeting. Lianxiang is willing to work with everyone in the same boat!
The banner of domestic computer brands will definitely not fall into our hands. In the future, we will also plant the banner of domestic computer brands overseas! ”
Boss Liu raised his arms and shouted, which received a round of applause from the audience.
Then, the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association elected representatives to negotiate with Intel and other overseas computer parts manufacturers.
Not surprisingly, the mainland Computer Manufacturers Association was ultimately represented by Lianxiang, Sitong, Great Wall, Tongfang, and Founder. Boss Liu became the chief spokesman for this negotiation. In a certain sense, this is equivalent to the computer industry. The leader of the martial arts alliance.
Although it is the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association, which represents many domestic computer brands, the ones who really have the right to speak are still a few large manufacturers with the largest shipments. As for other small brands, they can just wave their flags and vote.
But it does not mean that they are really qualified to point fingers at several big companies like Lianxiang. What Boss Liu needs are computer manufacturers such as Donghai, Muze, and Xinlan to charge for him. They are not allowed to point fingers at Lianxiang.
After the voting ended, it was time for rest and dining. Fang Zhicheng from Tongfang, Lu Ning, general manager of Great Wall Computer, Zhang Yufeng, Duan Yongji and others all gathered around Boss Liu.
"Mr. Liu, how confident are you that Intel will make concessions in this negotiation?"
Lu Ning is the most concerned about this matter. After all, this is really related to whether the stock price of Great Wall Computer can be maintained after it goes public. It is closely related to their worth. How can he not be concerned about it?
"I personally think there is great hope!" Boss Liu expressed confidence, "If Intel does not want to lose the mainland market, it will definitely need to make concessions. As long as it makes concessions, chip prices can be reduced. Then Toshiba, Samsung , Sharp, Maxtor and other foreign parts manufacturers will definitely follow suit! ”
To put it bluntly, Boss Liu is still preparing to launch the Shenzhou threat theory, and clearly told Intel manufacturers that if they do not give in and lower the price of parts, then Shenzhou will become the dominant player, and Intel will even dominate the entire mainland market. Lost.
When Lu Ning heard this, he always felt that something was strange, but when it came to his own interests, he couldn't care less about the immorality of the world.
"There is also Intel's latest Pentium second-generation 350nm chip. Intel also needs to transfer it to us. Otherwise, I am afraid we will not be able to withstand the offensive of Shenzhou Computer!"
After Lu Ning finished speaking, Zhang Yufeng, who had been watching the show, suddenly said, "If Intel agrees to supply the latest Pentium chips to the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association, how will these second-generation Pentium chips be distributed?"
Just now, Boss Liu vowed that Lianxiang would advance and retreat together with the members of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association. If there is meat, everyone can eat it together, and if there are advanced chips, everyone can use it together.
"Things have priorities. We are all domestic brands, so naturally we have to advance and retreat together, but..."
Boss Liu looked back at the computer manufacturers gathered in groups of twos and threes, and what he said was a bit cold, "A man does not stick to trivial matters. When two armies are fighting, you should save the fighting soldiers first. If you don't save the soldiers first, how can you protect the people?" ! ”
"That's the truth!"
When Lu Ning, Fang Zhicheng and others heard this, they understood what it meant. Of course, after getting the Pentium second-generation chips from Intel, they were first distributed to big manufacturers such as Lianxiang, Great Wall, and Tongfang.
After all, we still need them to carry the banner of domestic computer brands. As for computer brands such as Donghai and Xinlan, they will definitely be saved, but we have to wait and think about these factories. Chip to them.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
As for whether those manufacturers will jump in, Boss Liu is not worried at all. As long as the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association is controlled, Intel's chips will enter the country through this association in the future, and the distribution rights of Intel chips in the mainland will fall. Boss Liu has it!
Any domestic computer brand that wants to launch the most advanced computer equipped with Pentium second-generation chips must get Boss Liu to get it!
Zhang Yufeng looked at Boss Liu with a chill in his heart. Boss Liu said it in an understatement, but in one word, he decided the fate of countless computer manufacturers in the country.
It may even completely change the domestic computer industry. In the future, the domestic computer industry may really be divided into two camps.
One is a camp backed by overseas component manufacturers such as Intel, Samsung, Toshiba, etc., and the other is a camp of its own Shenzhou and Dongxin Semiconductor!
Both camps hold high the banner of domestic brands, both regard themselves as orthodox, and have their own reasons for not retreating. This will probably be a technological version of Xiangji Temple's war. Only the one who survives in the end is qualified. Declare yourself to be orthodox and the other party to be a rebel!
After a day of socializing, Boss Liu didn't have time to rest, so he hurried back to Lianxiang. During this period, he had room and board in the company. After all, in special times, he, the leader, needs to lead by example.
Furthermore, most of Lianxiang's industries have now been transferred to Gangcheng Lianxiang Company, and most of the shares of Gangcheng Lianxiang are in the hands of the management headed by Boss Liu. In other words, Lianxiang is now Boss Liu. How could he not do his best for the company?
During this period, Lianxiang's stock price plummeted and its market value evaporated a lot, but it was not without its benefits. Boss Liu took the opportunity and teamed up with people from the Taishan Industrial Federation to acquire a lot of Lianxiang's stocks in the Hong Kong city. The control over my thoughts has deepened.
"Mr. Liu, there is news coming back from Yangcheng and other places!"
Boss Liu just sat down, drank a few sips of tea, and prepared to wake himself up. Then he called Gregory, Intel's Asia-Pacific coordinator, to start formal negotiations between the two parties.
When Boss Liu saw Guo Wei pushing in the door, he had a bad feeling in his heart. This kind of thing has happened several times during this period, and there was no good news every time.
"Say!"
Boss Liu forced himself to calm down and looked directly at Guo Wei.
"This week, we have already lost multiple orders in a row, including the Yangcheng City Government computer purchase order, Shanghai Pudong Hospital, Hangzhou Bank computer purchase, Galaxy Securities computer purchase, etc.
Especially now, there are people competing with us for large orders from the Chemical Import and Export Corporation. The total number of lost computer orders is close to 10,000 machines! ”
Upon hearing the news, Boss Liu clenched his fists, but then relaxed them. However, Guo Wei, who was familiar with Boss Liu's character, knew that Boss Liu was already quite angry at this time.
“Did Shenzhou Computer Marketing Department grab the order?”
