Chapter 203 Pricing of Oracle Computers
Seeing what Su Cheng said, even though Yang Chaoye didn’t believe it, he had to believe it.
"Okay, I'm more confident about the release of Oracle computers. I'm already considering whether Oracle computers should increase in price." Although Yang Chaoye felt it was a pity, when he thought of the changes in this computer, I couldn't help but feel happy again.
Previously, after Yang Chaoye discussed with Oracle executives, they decided that the unified global issue price of this computer would be US$2,999.
In fact, its manufacturing cost is only one-tenth of this list price.
And the more you produce, the lower the production cost will be.
However, production cost is not the only reference for pricing.
A lot of money has been spent on research and development before many products are developed.
These also need to recover their costs.
Computers like Oracle Computers, if they were developed by technology companies in this world, would not be developed at all without hundreds of millions of dollars or more.
So for this price, everyone thinks it is very normal.
The boss spent a lot of money to buy these.
The money the boss spends to purchase these technologies is also a cost.
Now, since money has been spent to produce these three software, it is normal for the price to increase.
"There is no need to increase the price, just maintain the previous price. If it increases again, although our profits can increase, it will not be conducive to sales. Small profits but quick turnover. It is my dream to popularize computers." Su Cheng smiled directly.
At a price of US$2,999, if Oracle computers sell well, he will already make crazy money.
For Su City, which owns Xiaoai, its research and development cost is zero.
"Okay, I have to change the content of the press conference. I can no longer imagine what impact these computer changes will have on the world once they are spread. Everyone present remembers "Remember, don't spread these things before the press conference starts. If I know that these things are spread, then Oracle won't need you!" Yang Chaoye glanced at the scene and said seriously.
Although, it doesn't matter even if these news get out, it may also help everyone's curiosity about Oracle computers.
However, Yang Chaoye feels that if these functions are only promoted at the press conference and make such great progress in personal computers at once, the impact will definitely be greater.
Therefore, Yang Chaoye did not allow everyone to spread the news in advance.
Now, there are only ten days left before the press conference.
Moreover, the press conference needs to go to the beautiful country a few days in advance to prepare, so the time is even tighter.
“How many prototypes can be produced by the time the press conference starts?” Su Cheng asked.
He looked at the assembled Oracle computers in the laboratory. There were less than ten of them, and most of them were being tested.
"Because this computer has just been developed and the testing time is too short, a complete production line has not been set up yet. The processors are all manually made piece by piece through a photolithography machine, so the speed is very slow. By the time of the press conference, we will only be able to produce around 50 Oracle computers at most. After a while and ensuring that there are no problems in testing, we will continue to produce them in a streamlined manner, and then we can mass-produce them." Oracle said. Wayne, the general manager of the computer company, replied from the side.
“These fifty units are not for sale, but for placement in brand experience stores everywhere. As for mass production, there is no rush now. After longer testing, We will look at everyone's reaction to this product after the press conference, and then we will create a pre-sale model, and then we will decide when to start production and how many computers should be produced for the first batch," Yang Chaoye also said with a smile.
Su Cheng nodded. Put fifty prototypes like this in ten experience stores. Each store can put a few units, so that users who want to experience it can really experience it. get. "Boss, Mr. Yang, I suggest you export these functions to other computers now, so that we can also test these functions!" someone suggested.
"Okay, switch to another computer. By the way, it will also allow everyone to test whether there are any bugs in these functions." Yang Chaoye nodded and said.
During this period of time, everyone has been working hard day and night. It is common to stay up late and work overtime. Now that we have finally finished it, it is time to relax.
Today’s work tasks are no longer as busy as before. The most important job for everyone is to test the performance quality of these computers and then fix the problems as soon as possible.
Now, since these three functions have been added, it is natural to join the ranks of testing.
By adding these three functional tests, you can enjoy both entertainment and work, killing two birds with one stone.
Yang Chaoye is not the kind of old-fashioned leader. He will adopt useful opinions, so many employees also like the second-in-command of the group.
As for the top leader, of course it is the boss Su Cheng.
Everyone cheered.
Soon, someone got a hard drive, imported all these programs and software into the hard drive, and then transplanted them to other computers.
After restarting computers one after another, these programs also appeared.
So, more than a dozen people gathered around a machine, and everyone played with these new functions with great interest.
Although these software were created by Xiao Ai, there are no bugs at all.
However, Su Cheng did not stop their behavior.
Testing a product is responsible for all users. This is a good habit.
If a product is developed and put on the market without even being tested, then this is an irresponsible act towards users.
Seeing everyone gathered around to study these new functions, Su Cheng, Yang Chaoye, and Wayne walked to the rest area and sat down.
"Mr. Wayne, how are you preparing for the press conference in Xiangjiang?" Su Cheng asked Wayne.
The Hong Kong press conference is held at the same time as the New York press conference. Although it is not as important as the New York press conference, it can still have a great impact on East Asia, Southeast Asia and other places.
Therefore, this press conference held in Hong Kong is also very important.
“All arrangements for the press conference have been planned, and I have submitted rental requirements to the Xiangjiang Opera House. The press conference will be held at the Xiangjiang Opera House. However, like Mr. Yang, the release I also need to change the content of the meeting, and I will discuss this with Mr. Yang later on how to change it," Wayne replied.
"Boss, I have already arranged the itinerary. I will leave for New York on September 25th. Will you go with me then?" Yang Chaoye asked.
"Well, let's go together. I'm going to Beautiful Country. Besides the press conference, there are other important things to do." Su Cheng nodded.
To go to New York, if you need to transfer flights, you basically need to spend more than one to two days on the road. In addition, you also need to rest during the long journey, so you must go there a few days in advance.
So, September 25th is also a very suitable time.
