As soon as Lin Feng and Wu Zhaopu returned to Shanghai, Luertz, the head of "amd" and He Guoyuan, the head of "ati" of the hardware development department, approached Lin Feng.

During this period, Luertz and He Guoyuan followed Lin Feng's suggestions and worked hard on integrated technologies such as CPU, graphics card, memory, etc., and launched two special computers for different types of users.

It is an entry-level computer for primary users, mainly using "Yangcun School" and "distance education software", and is intended to help their children learn. The consumers of entry-level computers are mainly students' parents, and most of these parents do not

Wealthy people don't have much money in their hands and long for cheap computers. They don't have high performance requirements for computers, as long as they are enough. However, the requirements for computers in "Yangcun School" and "Distance Education Software" can be described as "civilian", Ruhr

Hereby, we adopted the low-end "Duron" CPU of "AMD", equipped with ATI's integrated chip technology, equipped with basic 128M memory, and a 15-inch monitor, lowering the price of the whole machine to 2,600 yuan, and gave it a name——

"Smart" computers.

This price is the lowest in the current computer market. After all, its main core components are produced by its own company, and there is no profit margin for third parties. The price is naturally much cheaper than the complete computers launched by other computer companies. Ruiz also said

I have assembled one using "Intel's" low-end "Celeron" processor, and it is fully equipped. The price is about 2,800 yuan, which is about a hundred yuan more expensive than the "smart" computers in the "second world". Of course, in terms of CPU,

The performance is indeed slightly better than "amd".

However, the "smart" computer uses the integrated technology of "amd" and "ati". Although the CPU performance is slightly worse than that of the computer assembled with "Celeron", the total performance of the whole machine is the same. Plus "Yangcun"

"School" and "Distance Education Software" are both outsourced to Indian companies in the "Second World" for development. After adding optimization technology for "amd" CPU and "ati" graphics cards, in terms of overall performance, using "amd" and

The performance of "smart" computers with "ati" chips is about 3% higher than computers with "intel" and "nvidia".

The performance is 3% higher, the price is 100 yuan cheaper, and with the brand of "Authorized by the Ministry of Education as a reliable computer manufacturer," Ruiz believes that players will choose which computer. What's more, currently, "Intel" has not launched a complete computer

However, other computer companies, whether it is "Dell" or "Lenovo", cannot assemble computers at the lowest price like the "Second World". It can be said that the launch of "smart" computers will be enough

Change the pattern of the computer sales market.

As for the gaming computer for gamers, it uses the latest amd "athlon-xp" chip, equipped with the "radium 9000" graphics card just launched by "ati", uses a 17-inch monitor, and is equipped with a large-capacity 512m memory.

The price is 5,400 yuan. In terms of performance and CPU, this computer still cannot compare with the "Intel" Ben 4, but for current games, the "CPU" is not the bottleneck, but the graphics card. "ati"

The performance of the latest Radium 9000 graphics card exceeds that of "nvidia's" mx440 graphics card in one fell swoop, and it also makes up for the shortcomings in CPU performance of the entire machine. In terms of running game tests, it is on the contrary more powerful than computers equipped with "Pentium 4" and "mx440"

a little.

Although the performance of this professional gaming computer is slightly inferior in terms of stand-alone performance and cannot perfectly run various first-person shooter games, this dedicated gaming computer is mainly aimed at online games. It does not matter if it is slightly inferior in terms of stand-alone games. The price/performance ratio is the most important.

However, Lin Feng has no plans to launch it on the market for the time being. Otherwise, as all "smart" computers and this computer dedicated to online games are introduced to the market, it will inevitably cause chaos in the computer sales market. Then, for "Lenovo" and "Dell", etc.

The impact of the brand is too great. If these computer sales companies join forces with "Intel" and other hardware manufacturers to fight against themselves, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the "second world".

Therefore, Lam Feng only launches entry-level "smart" computers for the time being. As for this computer dedicated to online games, it is mainly used in public Internet cafes in the "Second World" in East and South China. Of course, if the time comes, our company will continue to

When it grows stronger and has enough strength to compete with other computer companies, it will naturally no longer hold back.

At present, Lin Feng can only adopt the strategy of "boiling the frog in warm water", slowly eroding the big cake of the computer sales market, accumulating funds and capital, so as to fight against the powerful "Intel" in the future.

"Boss, 'smart' computers are definitely better than the low-end computer configurations of 'Intel' and 'Nivdia' in terms of cost performance, but we are currently unable to mass-produce 'smart' computers. We do not have a chassis factory, a mouse, keyboard and other corresponding factories.

, should we add corresponding production lines to meet our needs? After all, chassis, mice, keyboards, etc. are also a big profit point." Rultz suggested.

Lin Feng looked at the information handed over by Luerz. Indeed, the market prospects are very promising, but there is a problem. If you invest in production lines and increase corresponding factory workshops, firstly, it will be a problem in terms of funds, and secondly, in terms of time.

You need to postpone it a little. After all, both workers and technology need to be adjusted, and it will take time to prove how to achieve the optimal combination.

"Boss, why don't we hire OEMs? Hasn't Terry Gou's Foxconn always wanted to outsource our complete computers?" Wu Zhaopu suggested from the side.

Lin Feng was quite moved after hearing this, but there are also some problems with OEM. First, whether the quality can meet his own requirements, and second, whether the price is cheap enough. If the lowest price cannot be achieved, it will be difficult for consumers to buy it.

, even if it has "the Ministry of Education authorized reliable computer manufacturer", consumers cannot buy it. Just when Lin Feng was hesitating, he received a call.

"Hi, Lin, my team and I arrived in Shanghai and are in the reception room of your company." Abby Cohen said with a chuckle.

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"Abby, you've already arrived in Shanghai? Didn't you say tomorrow? Also, why didn't you inform me to pick you up at the airport and you arrived at the company?" Lin Feng asked doubtfully.

"Haha, I just want to see the current situation of the 'Second World' first. Fortunately, although the company is a bit crowded, it is not chaotic. Okay, come down quickly." Abby smiled.

After hearing this, Lin Feng quickly called to Wu Zhaopu, Luerzi and others to go down to meet his investment consultant.

"Hi, Abby!" Lin Feng gave him a warm hug. He was worried about a problem that he had not solved yet, and now he could ask her and her team to help.

"Hi, Lin, this is my team of seven people. Everyone is very optimistic about you. Don't let us down!" Abby introduced the seven people to Lin Feng one by one. Among them were advertising planning consultants, financial consultants,

There are seven consultants including accounting consultants, tax consultants, legal consultants, public relations consultants, and human resources consultants. Counting the general consultant Abby, there are eight people in total. They are all well-known elites in the industry. This team will be able to provide Lin Feng with the most comprehensive and best services.

Of course, these elites from all walks of life can gather together and become an investment advisory team. In addition to Abby Cohen’s lobbying, what is more important is Lin Feng’s personal appeal. He started from scratch at the age of 22 and has assets of 30.1 billion US dollars.

It makes people curious about how Lin Feng succeeded. What's more, they believe that if they become Lin Feng's investment advisor, they will definitely gain both fame and fortune in the future.

After some pleasantries, Lin Feng invited Abby and her team to the office and explained the whole story.

"Lin, are you going to launch a complete computer?" Abby looked shocked.

Lin Feng nodded heavily.

"Oh, my God, my God, Lin, don't you know how reckless you are? You will break the rules of the entire IT market and offend the world's top 500 computer sales companies like Dell. If they

It is undoubtedly a very, very, very troublesome thing to unite to fight against your company." Abby used several very.

"And when the time comes, if 'Intel' and 'Nvidia' give it a little push, it will be a disaster for the 'Second World'." Abby explained a little angrily.

She came with her team and originally wanted to give Lin Feng advice, but unexpectedly Lin Feng was planning to launch a "smart" computer. This move was too risky.

Lin Feng had already expected that Abby would be furious. Luertz and He Guoyuan did not agree with this plan at first, but "Second World" has advantages that other computer hardware companies do not have. No, it owns other computer hardware companies.

There are no advantages.

"Abby, I have three major advantages that allow me to do this." Lin Feng gently patted the excited Abby on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Three major advantages?" Abby was stunned.

"Yes, first, now my company owns 'amd' and 'ati'. In addition to hard drives, it already owns almost all the core technologies of computers." Lin Feng stretched out a finger.

Abby nodded. This is indeed something that "Intel" does not have. Although it has reached a strategic alliance with "Nvidia", the strategic alliance is a strategic alliance after all. It is not like the "Second World" that can perfectly integrate the two technologies.

.

"Second, my subsidiary 'Dingdang.com' has complete sales channels and has established after-sales service stations in major cities in China, which can provide the fastest sales model and after-sales service." Lin Feng stretched out his second finger.

Abby nodded, this is indeed Lin Feng's advantage. "Dingdang.com" has paved the way in advance, and with more than half a year of b2c sales experience, neither sales nor after-sales will be a problem.

"Third, I currently only launch the 'Smart' low-end computer, and it is only sold to China for the time being, and I am a Chinese." Lin Feng said proudly.

After hearing this, Abby sighed. Indeed, these three advantages of Lin Feng are too great, and Lin Feng is extremely rational. He does not offer global enjoyment, but only temporarily sells to the Chinese market, and only sells low-end "smart" computers.

, this is undoubtedly very wise.

"Lin, I'm convinced by you. It seems that we need to make feasible suggestions for your 'smart' computer as soon as possible." Abby said, snapping her fingers.

Subsequently, Abby's investment team took the information and carefully calculated it and came to a conclusion.

"Lin, we suggest that you use outsourcing. This is more cost-effective and can launch your complete computers as soon as possible to seize the market. Otherwise, by the time you build various bases and run them in, other computer sales companies may have already

We have corresponding countermeasures. This is the 21st century, and time is money." Abby said. Seeing Lin Feng want to open his mouth, he smiled and said, "As for the price, we can definitely adopt the 'reverse auction' model."

"Reverse auction?" Everyone was stunned, this is a new term.

"Haha, this is a cost reduction method used by the American Boeing Company. Boeing regularly conducts 'reverse auctions' for all suppliers, allowing suppliers to compete for contracts by lowering prices. The one with the lowest price wins."

Abby explained with a smile, "At Boeing, everything from toilet paper in the bathroom to aircraft parts and motors will use this kind of 'reverse auction', where major suppliers will bid publicly. This 'reverse auction' has always been

It can save Boeing hundreds of millions of dollars every year.”

Lin Feng and others' eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Furthermore, Boeing adopts online bidding, screening the companies participating in the auction in advance to ensure that the companies that can participate in the auction have absolute economic strength and production capacity, and then publishes the matters required by the contract to this network for everyone who wants to bid.

The company sets its own price and makes the final bid." Abby continued to explain.

After Lin Feng thought for a moment, he patted his thigh and excitedly agreed to the proposal.

Later, Lin Feng ordered Wu Zhaopu to release bidding information to all walks of life, and after screening out unqualified companies, he told everyone about the "reverse auction" model. Most of the companies that wanted to OEM this time were Chinese companies, and many companies

This is the first time I have heard of this "reverse auction", especially since it does not use traditional on-site bidding, but online bidding, which makes many companies find it quite novel and interesting.

However, after some bidding, many companies have indeed felt the benefits of this online bidding. Of course, they have also felt its disadvantages. The advantage is that everyone has plenty of time to calculate the lowest cost that can be achieved, and at the same time

Save a series of accommodation, air tickets and other costs caused by going to Shanghai to bid. From a cost-saving perspective, online bidding does have its advantages.

The disadvantage is that through online bidding, everyone is more rational and has more time to calculate costs, which directly leads to more brutal competition and directly leads to continuously lowering prices.
