Yang Qing felt that his face was burning and hurting, and he had no face at all.
As soon as he left Jiangzhou, Changtian Technology immediately reached a cooperation agreement with a new company.
Yang Qing had just asked his secretary to collect relevant information about Shenship Company.
Shenship Company is just a new company that has just been established.
The boss of this company used to be a wholesaler of computer parts in Shenzhen City.
Seeing such information, Yang Qing almost had a heart attack.
Carbon crystal hard drives, such an excellent technological product, are actually used in a PC company whose name I have never heard of. This is definitely a waste of resources.
Moreover, Yang Qing is absolutely not optimistic about the cooperation between Changtian Technology and Shenchuan.
He believes that according to this cooperation model between the two parties, hard drives will definitely lack market and consumer recognition.
Yang Qing attributed the current behavior of Changtian Technology to the young and naive nature of the results.
He even couldn't help but go to the chairman's office to meet Uncle Liu and complained about Chen Xiao's lack of experience.
If the elders of Changtian Technology were replaced by a more experienced businessman, the cooperation with Lianxiang might have been completed.
Lian Xiang is paying close attention to the trends in the Shenzhen market. He wants to know when carbon crystal will be launched on the market?
Not to mention, Wu Jun was complacent at this time.
Shenchuan has recently produced a batch of hardware.
Wu Jun personally negotiated with the United States for a batch of the latest Ben3 processors. Wu Jun believed that the price of the processors was not much higher than that of Lianxiang.
Needless to say about graphics cards, Wu Jun still has GeForX100 in stock, as well as the most advanced GeForc3.
Motherboard manufacturers are flourishing, especially in the Wanwan area, in addition to ASUS, second and third-tier brands such as MSI and USI have emerged.
Motherboards and chips must be imported from American manufacturers such as Intel. As long as they get the motherboard chips, many companies in the Gulf region can produce motherboards.
Wu Jun looked for motherboards that had the same performance as top brands but were cheaper, which could increase the cost-effectiveness of his products.
There is no choice when it comes to memory. The mainstream brands are KingMax, Hyundai, and Kingston. 128 MB and 256 MB are both mainstream. Anyone who owns 512 MB is an absolute tycoon and cannot be offended.
The operating system must be window98.
There are actually skills to installing the system. If you go to Microsoft to buy genuine Windows 98, you will definitely have to pay the cost.
Wu Jun decided not to install Windows 98 and use the DOS system directly.
Users who need to install the system can just find the after-sales service of Shenchuan to secretly install the pirated version.
The last point is the hard drive.
In 2001, there were four mainstream hard drive market players, namely IBM, Seagate, Maxtor and Western Digital. 5400 rpm and 20G capacity were the mainstream configurations.
Of course, hard drives are also very expensive.
Taking Seagate as an example, the price of a 20G (5400 rpm) hard drive is 890 yuan, and the price of an 80g hard drive is as high as 1,200 yuan.
The hard disk interface is mainly the traditional IDE, and the SATA interface has also begun to appear on the market.
Of course, Wu Jun will not choose a traditional hard drive, but will choose a carbon crystal hard drive set from Changtian Technology. The top configurations are all 120G specifications.
Wang Xiang has already given Wu Jun a base price for a 120G carbon crystal hard drive. The installed price of Shenchuan is only 600 yuan.
After Wu Jun got such a price, he was shocked.
The installed price of a 120G carbon crystal hard drive is actually cheaper than a 20G machine.
This saves Shenchuan a great deal of cost and makes Shenchuan more price competitive.
Wu Jun was very excited at this time. He felt that if such a computer was assembled and labeled as the "Shenship", it would definitely be a hit.
Changtian Technology is indeed very powerful. In one week, it provided Wu Jun with 1,000 carbon crystal hard drives. The capacity of 300 carbon crystal hard drives is 120G. The remaining ones are 80g, 60g and 40g. They are also the current commercial carbon crystal hard drives of Changtian Technology.
Conventional capacity of crystal hard drive.
Chen Xiao is also someone who knows how to squeeze out toothpaste. Changtian Technology’s current technology is definitely more than 120G.
However, the current IT market is already at its peak with 80G, and there are basically no hard drive manufacturers exceeding 100G.
If one day Seagate or Western Digital launches a 120G hard drive, then Changtian Technology will of course launch a 240G or even larger capacity hard drive.
Chen Xiao: No one knows storage technology better than me.
Changtian Technology and Shenchuan are indeed very fast. In less than a week, 1,000 high-configuration desktop computers have been assembled.
Wu Jun looked at the latest computer configuration with some excitement.
When comparing the configuration of the computer named Shenchuan T1 in his hands with that of Lianxiang, except for the difference in the hard drive, there is no other configuration difference (Lianxiang uses a 40G hard drive).
Among them, Lianxiang still uses a first-tier brand motherboard, while Shenchuan uses a second-tier and third-tier brand motherboard.
Because everyone uses the latest Intel chips, Lianxiang's computer was released half a month ago.
Lianxiang's prices are also horribly expensive. The prices of this series of computers in Lianxiang range from 7,999 yuan to 10,999 yuan.
The difference in configuration is mainly the difference in frequency of chips of the same model, the difference in memory, and the difference in hard disk.
The Shenchuan technician took a Lianxiang computer priced at 10,999 yuan, and he was comparing its performance with the Shenchuan T1.
Shenchuan has a set of computer performance testing software developed by itself.
After the test, Wu Jun was very excited about the results.
Shenchuan assembles its own OEM computers, and its overall performance is more than 30% higher than Lianxiang's.
In other words, the carbon crystal hard drive makes Shenchuan's computer 30% faster than Lianxiang with the same configuration.
The cost price of the Shenchuan computer is only more than 4,000 yuan. Wu Jun only earns 2,000 yuan for this kind of computer. Isn't the price of less than 70,000 yuan better than Lianxiang's 10,999 yuan?
What's more, Wu Jun also has 60g and 80g carbon crystal hard drives to choose from.
Using this configuration and price will be lower.
Wu Junjin couldn't wait to release his new product, but he knew that this was not his business alone, but also related to Changtian Technology.
Wu Jun immediately informed Changtian Technology of the Shenship plan.
As soon as Changtian Technology agrees, new computers will be released immediately.
Chen Xiao received the notification letter from Shenchuan and gave Wu Jun two suggestions.
One is a top-end computer using a 120G carbon crystal hard drive. In fact, the price cannot be less than 8,000 yuan.
Wu Jun didn't know that Shenchuan was a newly established company, but Chen Xiao knew very well that even if the brand is to be more cost-effective, it must establish a high-end product, otherwise it will be very difficult to go high-end in the future.
Xiaomi is an example.
Chen Xiao’s second suggestion is that Shenchuan computers using 40g, 60g and 80g stand-alone hard drives can take the ultimate cost-effective route.
The sales reference prices given by Chen Xiao are 5,699 yuan (40g), 6,299 yuan (60g) and 6,999 yuan (80g).
