Chapter 1375 Opportunity(1/2)
However, Dell was founded in 1984, which is next year.
They developed vigorously in 1985, and began to cooperate with Microsoft in 1986, and there is still a long time left.
Even if there is Dell now, it will be impossible to save the near fire.
However, Yin Jun now has a different idea.
You may not believe Dell's success model, because it is too simple.
They buy all kinds of hardware wholesale from various manufacturers, and then find workers to piece it together to sell it.
Or, it is easier to buy a certain manufacturer's computer in large quantities, add a little price in the middle, and sell it to others.
The two models developed together and eventually made their Dell computer brand successful.
In fact, they do not have any core technology, they rely entirely on their sales capabilities.
Americans have strong sales ability and strong ability to fool people.
In addition, it was indeed an era of computers being hot and explosive, and Americans happened to have money to spend, so Dell Computer was successful.
It is a huge success.
Because their market value reached more than 100 billion US dollars at its highest.
That's why Michael Dell has the confidence to mock Joe and Apple.
Of course, Mr. Dell was also lonely in the end, but this did not hinder his success in those years.
Since the success of Dell computers is not difficult, and Yin Jun also knows the process of putting together computers, it is not difficult for Kirin Group to assemble computers by itself.
This is not about making money. Yin Jun simply wants to implement the Windows system as soon as possible, so that it can become the most important standard for computers in the world faster, so as to promote those computer special effects companies to enter and play a role in the special effects career of movies.
Next, Yin Jun talked about this matter with Bill Gates.
He was very surprised by Yin Jun's sudden fantasy idea.
"You want to make a computer? Patch it together?" Bill Gates said in confusion, "Can this work? Computers are very sophisticated things, and it's hard to deal with problems!"
"It's not that complicated, it's just that many parts are pieced together." Yin Jun said, "Now the ibm standard has become universal, so hardware equipment tends to be stable and unified. As long as we can find a suitable supplier, there is no problem at all. If you don't believe it, I'll find someone to piece it together and show it to you?"
"good."
Bill Gates is also a very careful person, and he also wants to see how Yin Jun did it.
"If my computer is successful, we can implement bundled sales." Yin Jun said in a deep thought, "Every computer must be installed with Microsoft's win system before it can leave the factory. In this way, consumers will avoid purchasing the operating system themselves, saving too much trouble."
"No problem, many of them do the same!" Bill Gates was of course happy.
Although Yin Jun is a shareholder of Microsoft, Yin Jun’s computer company is not.
Yin Jun sells one more computer, and Microsoft's operating system sells one more copy. How could he be unhappy?
"You don't understand what I mean." Yin Jun said, "When our operating system was accepted by the market, we signed a bundled contract with them. If we want to buy Microsoft's operating system, we must buy our operating system every factory computer, and no one can be missing."
Speaking of this, Yin Jun said word by word, "Including ibm."
Bill Gates was stunned when he heard this.
IBM had a market value of nearly 200 billion US dollars decades ago, accounting for more than 20% of the annual GDP of the United States at that time.
Although the Blue Giant has declined now, it is still the super boss of the computer industry.
Microsoft actually wants to command ibm in reverse, this... this is simply incredible!
But, I like it!!
Bill Gates, who has always had a strong heart, was suddenly filled with longing.
How proud would it be if Microsoft, which started with ibm, could it really make it to be that part one day?
"But this is not the short-term present, but in the future." Yin Jun said, "In order to allow our operating system to occupy the market as soon as possible, the price must not be too high, otherwise the hardware price of the computer itself will be high enough. With such unbearable software, I'm afraid the development of the computer will be slower than expected."
"I know, but our R&D and maintenance costs are also high." Bill Gates was a little reluctant.
In fact, this Microsoft software is simply violent.
Just copy the software to the floppy disk and sell the activation code.
Others have to do all kinds of hardware production work for computers and also need various raw material suppliers, but they don’t use these software at all. The cost is so low that it’s outrageous!
"When you are in the market, it doesn't matter if you make a little less profit." Yin Jun smiled, "When you wait two or three years later, if win3.0 comes out, can we take the opportunity to increase the price?"
"Haha, Jun, I like your personality very much!" Bill Gates immediately laughed.
After turning this corner, Bill Gates was no longer worried.
Cheap now is not cheap later.
After that, we can use the reason for product upgrades to raise prices openly!
The key is that Yin Jun has already painted such a big piece of cake for Bill Gates, of course he is willing to fight for this beautiful future!
...
"I said, can you calm down?"
In the office, when Tang Shuxuan, who heard Yin Jun wanted to set up a computer company, couldn't help but shake her head.
It took several years for others to come up with an idea for more than ten years, and then they started to explore and research slowly, and finally set up a company.
Yin Jun is so good, he has a wonderful idea one after another.
After hearing Yin Jun's idea of putting together computers, Tang Shuxuan didn't think Yin Jun was whimsical, but he really had ideas. There was a high possibility of success in doing so.
"Time can't wait for people," Yin Jun said, "Try to do it. If it succeeds in the future, it can enter the European market, and then the Asian market will be next."
Finally, there is the Chinese market.
Although the Chinese market started the slowest, it came from behind and quickly surpassed any country in the world.
It was also from the beginning of the popularity of computers that China embarked on a road of overtaking.
Computer, software, online shopping, e-commerce, 5g...
These complete chains will develop, and according to the trend that Yin Jun saw in 2020, it may not take 50 years, or at most 30 years, to be on par with the United States and the United States.
Yin Jun’s ultimate goal is to introduce computers into mainland China at the right time and let China get used to developing the computer industry.
As for buying computers to make money over the years, Yin Jun never thought about it.
It is okay to earn some money from developed countries in Europe and the United States. If you are in China, forget it.
Over the years, I can’t even fully guarantee my meals, so why are you talking about computers?
"But the price of computers is not cheap now." Tang Shuxuan also has computers in her office. "A high-performance ibm computer costs about 3,000 US dollars. If it is replaced by Apple, it will be around 500 US dollars. How much is the salary of Americans? At best, ordinary people are $2,000-3,000 US dollars a month."
"We didn't need too many orders at the beginning." Yin Jun said, "We needed to make a reputation at the beginning and were responsible for promoting Microsoft's win2.0 system. I think various universities and private middle schools will be a good breakthrough... We don't sell the ordinary goods on the market, and if we want to sell, we sell computers with differentiated configurations, so that they can use them comfortably!"
To be honest, in Yin Jun's opinion, computers in this era are completely useless.
How can future people who are used to octa-core processors be interested in the extremely simple 8088 chip?
Not to mention that the memory is only 256k now, and the hard drive is pitifully small!
If it weren't for the limitations of these hardware, Yin Jun could have given the classic creativity and functions of Windows 95 this year, allowing Microsoft to develop it within three years.
But it won't work now.
Because the computer industry is a very comprehensive thing.
You don't have a more advanced processor, a larger memory, a better GPU image processor, a better graphics card and a sound card... If you don't have these, even if Windows 95 is developed, it will not be able to run on your computer at all.
Even the current win2.0 has only improved some functions compared to the original 1985 version in history. In terms of processing performance, it is subject to hardware and cannot be improved any further.
So Yin Jun was thinking about whether he should cooperate with Intel and urge them to develop better processors so that they can carry and process more devices?
“It’s a good idea to recommend it to various schools.”
Tang Shuxuan thought seriously.
The school industry in the United States is very developed, especially in private schools. Unless you are very talented, children from rich families will go to school.
Whether it is elementary school, junior high school, high school, or even university, one of the major characteristics of these private schools is that they are rich and particularly rich.
In order for the school to better recruit students and generate more talents, they are willing to spend money in all aspects.
Hiring the best teachers is on the one hand, and the same is true for the equipment of various hardware facilities.
However, in 1983, computers are still very new, especially since there was no win2.0 system before. For children, computers are still too advanced and not suitable for them to learn, so the school has been waiting and watching.
Now win2.0 has greatly lowered the threshold for entry and learning. I think the school is willing to accept this new thing and teach it to students.
Looking up, Tang Shuxuan asked, "There are a lot of talents needed to set up a computer company. Do you have the right candidate?"
"I'm going to hand it over to a special headhunting company." Yin Jun replied, "In fact, there is no need for too professional talents. The sales of computers are not large now, so the supplier camp is not large. We should strive to get goods directly from ibm. This way the brand is guaranteed, and they can rest assured to buy it in schools.
Of course, in addition to sales personnel, computer repair also requires a large number of talents. Although ibm will provide technical support services, if we can do it ourselves from the beginning, when we create our own brand of computers in the future, they will have enough experience and can be started directly. The same is true for software. Those who are proficient in using Microsoft's win system and those who can install various applications must be recruited and trained.
After a year or two, users got used to our sales and after-sales service. When more and more factories began to produce various computer parts, we could buy various parts and poach a group of skilled workers in the computer factory. Let them be responsible for assembling the parts into complete computers, which can be just enough to update and replace the previous computers."
Listening to the complete development trajectory described by Yin Jun, Tang Shuxuan shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"If anyone competes with you in the same industry to do business, I don't know what it will be like! Before you start doing this, you have already thought of the name of genius three to five years later, or even longer, in the long run!" Even Tang Shuxuan knew that Yin Jun was a genius, and couldn't help but praise him.
To be continued...
