The Internet cafe management system is just Chen Xiao's unintentional work and does not have much technical content. The most fundamental reason why it can gain such a large market share now is because the Internet cafe management system entered the Internet cafe market much earlier than other management systems. And it has been supported and promoted by Shengda to a certain extent.
Xia State does not lack talents, let alone imitators and plagiarists.
Especially after the Spring Festival in 2001, many applications similar to Changtian Technology's Blu-ray Internet Cafe Management System were launched. Many management systems even hired local promoters to promote the applications in one Internet cafe after another.
However, the market share of Xingguang Internet Cafe Management System is still far ahead, which means it has the advantage of entering the market first.
With such a low-tech product, Wang Xiang is not optimistic about its prospects just because it is a product that has the upper hand.
After all, the competitiveness of the product lies in the core technology. If other brands of network management systems give a large amount of profits to Internet cafes, or cooperate with game merchants to launch better preferential measures, then the competition faced by Starlight Internet Cafe Management System will be very large.
The shrinking of market share is certain.
Based on this current situation, Wang Xiang is still willing to sell the Xingguang Internet Cafe Management System to Shengda.
A commodity always has its own value range, and it is best to sell it at the right time.
But Chen Xiao actually said that the market value of the network management system is not just 100 million.
Soon Chen Xiao announced the answer. Chen Xiao put the carbon crystal hard drive on the table and said: "Call Mr. Zhou and tell him that the job is coming."
Seeing a small box 1/4 of the size of a palm on the desktop, Wang Xiang understood it immediately and said excitedly: "Is this the encapsulated carbon crystal hard drive?"
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "Each sector of the encapsulated carbon-based hard drive is 512m. The hard drive in my hand is an 80g hard drive. Of course, depending on our technology, the capacity can be made larger."
Class 80 hard drive!
Wang Xiang's heart skipped a beat and he said, "80 G hard drive??"
The office computers used by Changtian Technology, especially those used by programmers, use only 40G Seagate hard drives.
Not only Changtian Technology, but other technology companies are basically unable to buy commercial versions of 80G hard drives on the market.
Wang Xiang quickly made a call to Zhou Linghua. If this thing could be mass-produced, not to mention other things, just the hard drive business would definitely surpass Seagate and Western Digital and become one of the most important hard drive suppliers in the world.
And based on Wang Xiang's understanding of the storage speed of carbon crystal, the read and write speed of carbon crystal hard drives cannot be matched by mechanical hard drives.
Chen Xiao said: "Didn't we already sign an agreement with the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences? We will help the Galaxy series supercomputers install carbon crystal hard drives."
"Leave the production matters to Mr. Zhou. As part of the cooperation, I have made a new request to the Xiaguo Supercomputing Center. I hope they can help our company build a server center."
"I will put the related services of the Starlight Environmental Protection Management System into this server, and then we will do this..."
Chen Xiao told Wang Xiang his plan.
In the future, the Internet cafe management system will operate in dual modes. One is that after the port user downloads and installs it, it can run in the form of an Internet cafe LAN.
Another is that all the software resources required by the Internet cafe management system come from the central server of Changtian Technology.
Here you can realize a one-click fool-like Internet cafe matching mode.
As long as it is installed into the Internet cafe management system, all supporting software of the Internet cafe will be automatically installed and automatically maintained in the cloud.
Although any technology company can develop an Internet cafe management system, there are probably not many Internet cafe management systems in the world that have a central cloud server.
The cloud server is built using chips provided by the National Supercomputing Center, Changtian Technology's own hard drives, and the Internet cafe management system requires a very small part of the resources of the cloud server.
After such optimization and upgrade, selling the Internet cafe management system at a higher price is a sure-profit deal.
Half an hour later, Zhou Linghua came from the factory.
The two parties jointly negotiated the matter of carbon crystal hard drive packaging.
With the assistance of the Xia Academy of Sciences Physics Laboratory and the matching funds, although Changtian Technology's current funds are still relatively tight, they are barely enough.
This time, the production of hard drives for the Galaxy series computers is not free labor. The National Supercomputing Center will purchase them according to market prices.
The market price of a 40g mechanical hard drive is around 500 yuan.
The carbon crystal hard drive produced by Changtian Technology costs less than 50 yuan per piece if the initial scientific research expenses are not included.
In comparison, it has a very large price competitive advantage.
And the cost difference between producing 40g and 80g carbon crystal hard drives is not big.
From now on, when carbon crystal hard drives are sold on the market, even if they are sold at the same price as ordinary mechanical hard drives, there will still be absolute profits.
This is the huge gap between products of different eras.
Zhou Linghua has long been eager to give it a try.
The production line of carbon crystals is in the carbon crystal laboratory, but the large-scale assembly of carbon crystals should be in Zhou Linghua's factory.
During this period, Changtian Technology happened to upgrade Zhou Linghua's factory, giving it enough production capacity to cope with future production capacity growth.
Looking at the assembly drawings handed over by Chen Xiao, Zhou Linghua exclaimed, "This is what I've been waiting for for so long!"
"Some time ago, due to financial reasons, the factory was close to shutting down. Several coastal companies actually came to me and asked me if they were willing to sell related equipment. Do you think they were kidding?"
After Western investment companies such as IDG and Sequoia Capital gave up investing in Changtian Technology, the operating model of Changtian Technology was looked down upon by many people.
In particular, Zhou Linghua's factory once faced a liquidity crisis, and many people believed that Lingyue MP3 could not survive.
It was under this pressure that Zhou Linghua released the carbon crystal machine hard drive immediately.
At the same time, Li Dingsheng also rushed to Jiangzhou from Yanjing.
He will lead researchers from the Xia Academy of Sciences' Physics Laboratory to jointly publish with Changtian Technology related scientific research results on silicon carbide crystal grid color centers, capturing electrons and storing information under laser conditions.
Li Dingsheng was very excited inside.
Standing at the top of Xia's physics community, he knew it very well.
Once such a paper is released, it will definitely change the global physics landscape.
Li Dingsheng also admires the working atmosphere and rigorous standards of Changtian Technology.
In less than half a month, the relevant papers were compiled.
Li Dingsheng got the manuscript of the paper immediately.
