Chapter 300: Give you two ways to surrender (please order for 3 more chapters)
Shenchuan was indeed very frustrated during this period of time.
The high-end PCs of the T1 series, which originally had the highest profits, need to be reduced by RMB 500 to RMB 700 to be able to barely sell them.
On the contrary, high-volume low-end computers are selling very well.
But Shenzhou was very unhappy with this.
The profit you make from selling ten low-end computers is not as good as the profit from one high-end computer.
The specific reason why consumers rejected Shenchuan so quickly and cruelly was the release of the Pentium 4 processor, as well as the advent of supporting motherboards and memory.
If Shenchuan cannot keep up with the pace, it will definitely be suppressed by companies such as Lianxiang, HP and Dell.
Some dealers could no longer sit still and jointly wrote an open letter.
The executives of Shenship were asked to consider abandoning carbon crystal hard drives and purchasing Pentium 4 processors and motherboards from companies such as Gigabyte and Asus, as well as memory produced by Kingston, Micron, and others.
"If we continue like this, many dealers' stores will simply not be able to support it! The sales situation we have finally opened up will collapse in an instant!"
"Mr. Wu, we are a PC company, not a R&D company! Even if Changtian Technology has shares in us, we should not hang ourselves from a tree!"
When the dealer's representative saw Wu Jun, he was filled with bitterness.
It is indeed very difficult for dealers to obtain products, which requires real money. However, if the products cannot be sold and remain there for a long time, dealers will also lose money.
After all, electronic products are not building materials such as wood and stone. They have a certain life cycle and are updated very quickly.
After a new generation of products comes out, the profits of the old products you have in stock will drop rapidly, and may even cause the dealer to lose money.
When the cycle is over, if you haven't sold it yet, it will become a pile of junk.
Wu Jun was smoking, and those people were also very anxious.
If the motherboard issue is not resolved, Shenzhou will become increasingly passive.
However, Wu Jun still suppressed the ideas of these dealers.
"After all, the consumer population of high-end computers is limited. Although Pentium 4 processors have been launched on a large scale, Pentium 3 processors are still the mainstream in the market."
"The performance of the Pentium 3 processor, paired with carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drive, is quite good."
Wu Jun also made a decision immediately.
"In order to help everyone get their money back as soon as possible, Shenzhou has decided to reduce the overall price of T1 series computers by 300 to 700 yuan. This part is a profit concession made by the company and will not weaken everyone's profits."
Wu Jun's decisive decision-making stabilized the morale of the army.
After sending away waves of dealers, Wu Jun walked to the window, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.
"Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, how long do you have to persist?"
Wu Jun is a little anxious, and some consumers and industry professionals in Xia Guo are also anxious.
During this period of time, the media has not been idle.
There is overwhelming news about the large-scale launch of Pentium 4 processors and the fact that motherboards are not suitable for carbon crystal memory.
"Nanfang Daily": "According to the reporter's understanding from Huaqiangbei, the sales of carbon crystal memory in the hands of various hardware wholesalers have plummeted, and the sales volume of Shenchuan's high-end computers has also dropped by 70% compared with last month."
"Computer News": "There is no way for carbon crystal memory to be recognized by the American Computer Association and the Semiconductor Association, and its sales will definitely suffer a heavy setback!"
"Technology World": "Completely different from the last time Microsoft blocked the nature of carbon crystal hard drives, this time the new generation of motherboards from major mainstream motherboard manufacturers exclude carbon crystal memory. This means that in the era of Pentium 4 processors, carbon crystal memory
Crystal memory has been abandoned by major manufacturers."
In order to report this incident in more detail, a TV station in Shenzhen City also produced a special interview program.
The reporter interviewed Professor Liu Deqing, a professor in the Computer Department of Shuimu University and an expert in Xia Guo’s semiconductor industry and PC industry.
The reporter asked: "Professor Liu, is there any hope for change in Changtian Technology? Our carbon crystal memory performance is world-leading, so why is it not accepted by the market?"
Professor Liu was also very sad about this incident.
He told reporters with great emotion: "This is not a performance issue, but a game between technology groups and the profits of big countries."
Professor Liu analyzed in detail, "We all know that the 21st century is the century of the Internet after all, and the most critical technology in the Internet world is computer hardware technology, and the most critical industry is our semiconductor industry."
"The United States will never allow Xia Guo to participate in these industries. Therefore, although we have developed advanced products, we have been excluded by these capitals and groups."
When Professor Liu said this, the reporter looked worried and said: "Is there nothing that Changtian Technology can do now?"
Professor Liu gave Changtian Technology two ideas.
Professor Liu said: "It is not without a solution. Changtian Technology can learn from Toshiba, inform relevant departments and associations in the United States in detail about the core technologies and key nodes, and seek the other party's understanding. In this way, it may be able to win a glimmer of hope.
"
"The second method is that Changtian Technology can introduce an American group or American capital to sell the surgical technology to the other party at a high price, or seek cooperation with the other party."
"Don't think about the global market. Let's see if we can negotiate with the other party to preserve Xia's market."
Professor Liu gave two methods, which are indeed very useful.
But in the eyes of Xia State netizens, this is no different from signing an unequal treaty that humiliates the country.
The Internet went crazy.
"What the hell, Professor Liu! He told the West all about his technology. With the other party's gangster character, why don't you just take it away?"
"In the future, if an American capital or an American technology company cooperates, the two parties are talking nonsense! We obviously invented it, so why should we cooperate with the other party? And let the other party make money for nothing?"
"It's boring to say this upstairs. Didn't you see that many consumers in our country have abandoned carbon crystal memory? The most important thing is that the product is easy to use!"
Many netizens are indeed very frustrated. Although we have advanced products, they are not recognized by the market because the West has too strong a voice.
This is just like if you study hard and get perfect scores, but when you are admitted to college, your scores are not looked at at all, but your relationships and family conditions are looked at.
Someone on the Internet posted about Changtian Technology’s action and mobilized everyone to buy Changtian Technology’s carbon crystal memory.
But consumers are quite realistic. It doesn't matter if they support something online, but if they have to spend real money, they won't be happy.
Using your own money to support others is a stupid thing that you can just look at online, but in fact very few people respond.
Some netizens said with great anger and despair.
"If our country had more than 10 or 20 technology companies like Changtian Technology, we wouldn't have to be bullied by the United States!"
"I sincerely hope that Changtian Technology will definitely keep its carbon crystal memory technology and never sign the Plaza Accord with the United States like Toyo!"
Netizens were anxious and public opinion was boiling, but Chen Xiao was not anxious at all. He leisurely watched the performance of the entire PC market.
In fact, even if none of Changtian Technology's products can be sold from now on, all employees of Changtian Technology can still live well.
Because Changtian Technology has already earned enough profits some time ago, the current crisis will at most cause unsaleable products and will not lead to the company's bankruptcy.
In Chen Xiao's hand is an atlas of the motherboard, which he spent a lot of time drawing.
The motherboard can be fully adapted to the Pentium 4 processor on the market, and can be fully adapted to carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drive.
If the motherboard is inferior to other products, its demand for licensing patented technology is very strong.
If this motherboard is to be produced and support the Pentium 4 processor, it must obtain Intel's license.
There is no way to hide from this program.
Fortunately, Intel has not expressed its position on Yangtze Technology's carbon crystal memory so far.
Neither support nor rejection was said.
Intel is also watching the market.
The executives of Changtian Technology started to operate.
Sun Dong had already gone to Shenzhen City with the motherboard drawings, and he found Ang Da.
Chen Xiao saw a potential partner. If this partner can succeed, it will definitely be able to stabilize Intel.
Chen Xiao held a high-level meeting and gave Wang Xiang a difficult task.
