While the housekeeper is taking advantage of it, go get the power strip and network cable.
Su Yehao sat on the sofa in the living room, first flipping through a thick stack of instructions.
Different from other manuals on the market, the one in his hand has more than fifty pages, indicating the simple production process, parts purchasers, market unit price, bulk purchase price, labor transportation costs, etc.
It's like a production manual, with the four characters "Confidential Document" written on the cover, and it was thoughtfully changed into traditional Chinese.
They think this is taking care of Su Yehao's habits, but in fact it is superfluous and unnecessary.
Through the catalog section, it can be seen that Mr. Ni tries his best to use domestic parts, but the proportion is too small and the value is not high.
Seeing that the computer's processor uses Pentium III, using 0.25 micron and a main frequency of 1.3Hz, Su Yehao sounded puzzled and asked: "Pentium III, Intel's latest flagship product, is it planning to target the high-end market? Do you want it to be so luxurious?
"
Chu Jun sat aside, took the tea cup personally sent by Nangong Tian, thanked him and explained:
"This computer is specially configured for you. I have had someone calculate it. The cost is about 17,000 yuan. It uses the best accessories on the market. Of course, the price is a bit more expensive. Ordinary office computers are expected to use Intel
The Celeron processor was just released on January 4th this year, focusing on the economical office and gaming markets. You can read the specific information at the back, there is data on it."
Su Yehao opened it according to the catalog and took a look.
He found that the so-called Celeron processor has the same architecture as the Pentium II, except that the two L2 caches are removed... He doesn't know much about this aspect. Anyway, the current processors are very pitiful in his opinion.
Compared to the computer itself.
The fact that the processor uses 0.25 micron, or 250 nanometer, photolithography technology makes Su Yehao even more interesting.
Computers are assembled, and no matter how well they sell, they are just helping the upstream parts manufacturers to conquer the city, expand the market, and earn some hard money from it.
However, the more backward the lithography machine technology is, the more time it will have for development, and the easier it will be to survive in the next wafer foundry market. Faced with this super big cake, even Su Yehao feels that the prospects are amazing.
Much better than assembling a computer.
Look through this document that someone else carefully prepared.
Facing so many data and professional terms, Su Yehao was dazzled and asked directly: "Put the document aside for now and look at it in detail later when you have time. If a computer like this was put on the mainland market, you would probably have to sell it."
How much does it cost? How about the simplified version?”
Chu Jun has been helping the project team this year.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention from Liangxiang Company, the company has not even been formally established. There is only a code name of "1999 Root Project". His position is tentatively designated as general manager, and Mr. Ni is the deputy general manager, managing R&D.
department.
Regarding Su Yehao's question, Chu Jun knew it clearly and answered decisively:
"This has also been estimated. If the same configuration is used, Liangxiang Company will sell for 25,000 to 6,000 yuan, maybe a little more. Their company's net profit is very high, otherwise it would be impossible for the Hong Kong stock market to rise.
Crazy. Computers imported directly from abroad, such as IBM, Dell, and HP, are more expensive and have poor after-sales service.”
"Excluding sales, transportation, publicity and other expenses, if we operate a self-operated store, we sell about 20,000 yuan, and the gross profit is only 3,000 yuan. Excluding labor, rent, publicity, operation, taxes and other costs, it is almost the same
A net profit of 5% can be guaranteed.”

"We made this top-notch product mainly to show that the company has this strength. No matter how much it sells, it can enhance the brand image in the store. It is expected that about 30,000 units will be produced, and there should be many buyers."
"As for high-volume products, the price of low-end configurations can be reduced to around 7,500, while high-end configurations can cost almost more than 9,000. This is already the price of assembly in the computer city. No matter how low it is, it will be impossible to use. Only large-volume purchases can make it possible.
The price difference of accessories is subsidized on the product.”
"However, compared with the assembled goods on the market, we can provide after-sales and warranty services. This is also our advantage. It is simply unrivaled..."
While listening to Chu Jun’s introduction.
Su Yehao looked through the files again and found the parts data of the high-end gaming computer that he planned to use for mass production.
I found that it uses a Huashuo motherboard and optical drive, the graphics card is from Nvidia in the United States, and the hard drive is the eighth generation Quantum Fireball that has not yet been launched. Compared with the previous generation, it has the same capacity and the price is lower.
In addition, it uses a Meige 530 monitor and a Pentium III processor, but it is different from the one in front of him. Among popular gaming computers, the CPU frequency has been reduced from 1.3Hz to 1.0Hz. Compared with the 1.3Hz model, the price is
A few hundred dollars cheaper.
An Intel processor costs more than 2,000 yuan. Looking at the eighth-generation Quantum Fireball hard drive, even if purchased in bulk, it costs 1,230 yuan.
Nowadays, the demand in the global personal computer market is strong, and parts on the market are out of stock everywhere. Manufacturers have no worries about lack of customers.
To put it figuratively, droughts kill people, and floods kill people. The polarization is serious. Suppliers with technology are particularly popular and work overtime to rush production. According to the data Su Yehao learned, global computer sales in the first quarter of this year,
That’s an increase of 40% compared to the same period last year.
With such good news supporting it, it's no wonder Nasdaq technology stocks continue to rise.
It is currently a seller's market, so there is really no way for the purchase price of parts to go down, otherwise we can only use inferior substitute parts.
A low-end version of an office computer only costs more than 7,000 yuan, which is extremely cheap on the market, lower than some assembled products.
For this reason, Chu Jun scratched his forehead and said with a guilty conscience:
"Mr. Su, let me tell you the truth. Once this computer goes on the market, we will be targeted by everyone. Even the small vendors in the computer city will probably want to throw us into Shenjiang. Otherwise, we will add more
, how about increasing the net profit to about 10%?”
Su Yehao smiled and told:
"What are you afraid of... At the worst, the company will pay for you and hire two bodyguards for you. The original purpose is to promote the development of the mainland Internet market. Profit does not matter. It does not matter what peers think. We must shout out the slogan of only making 5% to let customers
Just feel sincerity. The artificially high market prices in the mainland computer industry have hindered the development of companies such as TAT, TOT, and Silversea. The scale of new users cannot keep up. Everyone is following the northwest trend. I don’t need to say this, right?
"
"Well, how could I not know."
Chu Jun sighed and continued: "People outside have high incomes, so it doesn't matter if computers are more expensive, but the mainland is already poor. If you increase the price casually, it will be more than some people's salary in one or two months, which limits the popularity of Internet users.
.”
The housekeeper brought the power strip and network cable, and Mr. Ni's students were busy completing the assembly and pressing the power button.
Su Yehao sat cross-legged next to the coffee table, staring at the computer without blinking, and said with a smile:
"Then let's lower the threshold a little further. It only needs to be able to access the Internet and play a few small games. The hard drive doesn't need to be too big. We can only sell it for three to four thousand yuan. We don't think these users don't have enough budget, and they shouldn't dislike it either.
Our products are too simple. In addition, we can’t afford a computer. I can afford the Internet fee for a few yuan. It’s a bit troublesome to open an Internet cafe by myself. Whichever city is best for broadband development, we will recruit franchisees there.
If you buy computers in bulk, you can get a discount."
The Windows 98 operating system interface was displayed on the screen. Su Yehao shook the mouse and went directly to the browser to search for his company's software and install small games...
