"Well, let it go. Let me go home for a meal tonight. My grandfather misses you very much and wants to play a few more games with you." Le Yiling said with a faint smile.

"Okay." Yin Jun nodded.

"I asked you to come today because of the Kirin computer." Le Yiling said, "Now the sales in the United States are so popular. When will Xiangjiang be able to connect? They can't wait."

On May 1st, Kirin Computer was officially launched in the United States.

Due to the activities of subsidizing 6-term credit card exemption, coupled with the strong advertising, the reputation of Kirin Computer before and other favorable factors, the number of reservations increased by leaps and bounds in the second half of April.

As of April 30, the number of computers booked in full has exceeded 120,000, which is much better than expected.

As early as March, the Los Angeles factory of Kirin Computer was officially mass-produced, with a monthly output of 200,000 units, so there is no problem with 120,000 units.

I originally thought that the first few days were to resolve the ordered orders, but I didn’t expect that a week after the official sale, with the positive feedback from users of Kirin Computer, their colleagues, relatives and friends, and those hesitant people, immediately went to the store to buy Kirin Computer.

Kirin Computer did not learn from other computer companies, and used various models to distinguish high and low configurations.

For the first time, they made the computer to a medium-to-high level and only sold this one, so users don’t have to worry about the experience of using it differently from others after they buy it.

Such a strategy has been proven to be very effective.

In the second week of May, Kirin Computer's sales across North America exceeded 20,000 units, plus 10,000 units in the first week, and 120,000 units were booked, reaching a total of 140,000 units.

But don't think this number is too small.

In fact, in this early stage of computer development in 1984, even the total shipment of ibm in a month will not exceed 300,000 units. A new brand of Kirin Computer, can almost reach sales of 160,000 or 70,000 in the first month, and it has long been among the top three in the world!

Moreover, the initial annual production capacity of Kirin Computer's factory in Los Angeles was set at 400,000 units. Now, seeing that the situation is so good, Baker Lee quickly adjusted his plan in the past few days, increased the purchase of parts, and prepared to increase the annual production capacity to 500,000 units.

At first glance, 140,000 units were sold in two weeks and 500,000 units were arranged in a year. I really don’t know the limit and waste such a good opportunity.

But for Baker Lee, this is a very safe approach.

Because the 140,000 Kirin computers in the previous period were all accumulated through advertising and previous reputation, and there were also a large amount of credit card handling fee subsidies, sales suddenly exploded.

Most of the people here are actually ready to buy computers, but they are attracted by Kirin Computer from other brands.

So this is not about opening up the market, it is actually just about putting the dishes from other people's bowls into your own bowl.

The entire market is still that big.

In the next two weeks, a total of 30,000 units were sold, which was the norm.

If we can break through under this trend, this is the achievement of expanding the market.

According to Kirin Computer's prediction, if you sell according to this trend, with the continuous popularity of reputation and computers, the annual sales volume may reach about 600,000 units, but it is not impossible to reach 500,000 units.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Beck Lee decided to expand the production capacity to only 500,000 units.

Even if the production in the United States is not enough, don’t forget that in Xiangjiang, the boss also has a computer factory, with an annual production capacity of 800,000 units, and it can be expanded to 1 million units at any time.

This is done to fill the gap in North America's sales.

Before, Beck Lee thought Yin Jun was a little too beautiful, but now he knows why he is the boss!

Yin Jun is definitely a phenomenon in his judgment of the entire market!

This is a genius!

Beck Lee's idea has been communicated with Leyiling.

Seeing that North America's sales are so positive, Leyiling is naturally more concerned about Asian market development.

Compared with the more than 300 million people in North America, Asia's population is almost 1 billion even if it is not included in mainland China and India.

Among them, the population of developed regions is at least 300 million.

These people have good consumption power.

Not to mention that in the second half of this year, European market advertising will be invested. The population of developed countries in Western Europe is about 1 billion, and the sales of this part of the computer are also responsible for the Kirin Computer Factory in Xiangjiang.

If calculated based on North America's sales, whether the annual production capacity of 1 million units can meet the demand is a question.

Regardless of the subsequent sales situation, production will start now, and there will always be more computer reserves to cope with more sales and shipments.

Yin Jun also understood what Le Yiling said.

According to the future industry scale, before the rapid development of smartphones in 2012, the sales of 1 billion desktop computers per year were not an exaggeration.

However, since the rise of smartphones and tablets, not only desktop computers, but also laptop computer sales have plummeted like a cliff-like plunge.

After 2018, if you can have a sales volume of 500 million units a year, you can laugh secretly.

But this is something that will happen nearly 30 years later. Nowadays, desktop computers are not even popular, and are developing in the bud.

So Yin Juncai only predicted that the annual output of Kirin computers of about 1.5 million units is enough to meet the demand within two years.

After two years, desktop computer sales will continue to surge until they reach their heyday of 1 billion units a year.

Then there are laptops. Although they are not as practical as desktop computers, their annual sales of 500 million units are also expected.

Therefore, Yin Juncai recruited 20,000 people at the Kirin Computer Factory in Xiangjiang.

With so many skilled workers, even if the degree of intelligence of the production line increases in the future and the labor required for each production line continues to decrease, it can maintain strong production capacity.

Twenty years later, after the computer markets in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea are saturated, there will be a huge emerging market in China.

By then, if three or five thousand computers are sold, the sales of 100 or 200 million units a year will be just like playing.

As of now, the scale of 20,000 people is actually a waste.

Baker Lee came to Xiangjiang and also saw the assembly process of Xiangjiang workers.

He had to sigh that in this kind of labor-intensive industry, Chinese people are really very powerful, and basically one person is worth two Americans.

Moreover, these workers in Xiangjiang have two completely different attitudes towards overtime than those in the United States.

The workers in Xiangjiang are eager to work overtime and to do more work. The overtime salary required is as long as the normal work is the same.

And when working overtime, they are as serious as they are and never slackened.

Compared with them, the group of workers in the United States are like old men, spending money and unable to improve productivity.

So he also understood why Yin Jun would place the production base for supplying the European market in Xiangjiang instead of directly in the United States. No matter which boss in the United States, he would choose this way!

"No hurry now." After thinking for a while, Yin Jun shook his head, "Their proficiency is not yet meeting the requirements of mass production, and the production line also needs to be debugged. In this way, the yield rate is low, so it is better not to do it."

"But if mass production starts only in June, would it be too late?" Le Yiling said, "The investment in advertising in Europe in June should start!"

"There's no hurry to do this." Yin Jun laughed, "Europeans have good patience. In the past, they ordered an ibm computer and could wait for two months to arrive. We can start mass production in a large amount of time after up to two weeks. With an annual production capacity of 1 million units, it is too late."

"If the sales in Europe are as popular as the United States and the United States, wouldn't it be too rush?" Le Yiling said.

"I'm afraid it's not that exaggerated." The boy shook his head, "The golden age of industry and industry in Europe has passed. Now they have gradually begun to enter an aging society. They are always so impatient and impatient when doing things. Therefore, it will take a lot of time to accept the new technology of smart computers... This can be seen from the sales of computers such as ibm, Apple and HP in the past few years."

Leyiling was speechless.

Of course she has read these data, so she knows that Yin Jun is saying it well.

The population of developed European countries is more than three times that of the United States, but in the two years of 1982 and 1983, the number of computer installations was only less than one-third of that of the United States. After all, it was basically a 10-fold gap.

It’s not that Europeans don’t like computers, but that they want them to accept something new, which will take time.

Especially nowadays, there are few smart computers, and there are not many programs that can be used.

However, it will not be too long since the popularity and explosion of computers in Europe.

Because of the emergence of Microsoft's windowing system, various software companies have greatly stimulated.

Nowadays, new software, games and programs are made every day. Although the advantages and disadvantages are different, many excellent software will appear every year under the survival of the fittest.

Once there are more things to use and play with, computers can become popular and form a trend.

And then there is the Internet.

Software and the Internet, the combined two magic weapons, are the most important factors that make computers popular in every household.

Once the Internet connects the world, everyone needs a computer carrier to connect to the world.

This is a great trend that no one can resist.

Therefore, Yin Jun is not only vigorously promoting the development of Microsoft's window system, but also allowing Kirin Network Company and Kirin Laboratory to vigorously develop new technologies such as network fiber transmission, wireless transmission, etc.

For this reason, the boys spend hundreds of millions of dollars in sky-high R&D expenses every year.

Many people think Yin Jun is crazy.

But only Yin Jun himself knew that the current investment was nothing compared to the future returns.

Once this industry develops and closely links the entire world, the various effects generated by it are not enough to describe the scale of one trillion US dollars, at least it is a super huge industrial chain group of tens of trillion US dollars!!

Yin Jun likes the entertainment industry, but it doesn’t mean he will let go of such a huge cake.

In his previous life, China seized the fourth industrial revolution, so he achieved overtaking on the curve and could immediately get a grudge against the United States.

At that time, China started very late, and it was basically not until after 2012 that it would use fiber and network technology to slowly make efforts.
