Chapter 35 Zhao Song's Diary, Nirvana's T1 (Two in One)
While Zhao Song and Xizi were digging in Xiagou Village, Xidan Tesla flagship store.
Yangyin girl Jiao Ning stands solemnly, her eyes always paying attention to the customers in the entire store. Whenever any customer needs service, she will immediately step forward to explain it to them.
Before the Tesla Beijing super flagship store appeared, this place was always the focus of the company's inspection department, and the teacher would rather not dare to neglect it in the slightest.
When a middle-aged man looked away from the T1 top-end version that he had been watching for five minutes and looked this way, Jiao Ning immediately stepped forward.
"Hello, happy to serve you."
"Hello to you too!" The middle-aged man nodded and smiled, "I have bought a Tesla twice in the Pacific before, and a little girl named Pingping served me both times."
"Old customer." Jiao Ning thought to herself. As for whether he was a big customer or not, her pitiful social experience made it impossible for her to tell. These days, there are still people with pens on their chests? A warm smile appeared on Jiao Ning's face.
Said: "Sir, Tesla has withdrawn its store in the Pacific because the contract has expired. Pingping is already the company's department director and is currently exploring the market in Northern Europe."
"You're promising!" The middle-aged man nodded.
Jiao Ning smiled slightly, and a little pride flashed through - this is why it is becoming more and more difficult to get a part-time job at Tesla: so far, seven of them have studied abroad, and four of them were admitted to graduate school last year and are now working
Of all part-time employees, except for 75% who signed up for the postgraduate examination and were recommended, the rest will all join Tesla after graduation. Of course, except for Yangyin.
The most awesome ones are the twelve pairs of long legs in the island country. The first album "Miracle" was released three days ago. As soon as it was released, it was ranked on the major music charts in the island country. The concert tickets were sold online a month later.
The channel was sold out in 3 minutes, and I heard that there were already organizations of otakus lining up to grab tickets in advance.
"Sir, do you need me to introduce you?"
The middle-aged man nodded and added: "A perfect match."
When Jiao Ning heard this, she unconsciously put her hands behind her back. Just when she was about to open her mouth, the severe pain in her forearms made her quickly turn around and face the store manager Tang Feng's fierce eyes.
She turned her hand behind her back again! Jiao Ning reacted, holding back the severe pain and tears, and hurriedly turned around to apologize, "Sir, I'm sorry." It was her fault to turn her hand behind her back when she was nervous, but when she encountered those yucky PC technical indicators,
Which girl can master it with ease?
"It's okay!" The middle-aged man looked at Tang Feng who was standing aside in surprise, and said with a smile: "Please continue."
Taking a deep breath, Jiao Ning slowly introduced: "INTEL Pentium 3 1G CPU, 512BO optical drive, dual 46GB Hitachi hard drives. In order to support this disk array, Tesla T1 uses an AMI mega raid1500 card to provide support for dual hard drives!
The world's first GeForce3 graphics processing unit graphics card perfectly supports DIRXT8.1."
Swallowing, trying to recall the specific data, looking at the slightly sluggish middle-aged man, Jiao Ning smiled slightly, suddenly relaxed a lot, and then said: "Innovative sound blaster audigy civilian-grade flagship sound card, paired with Tesla M200MK2 speakers,
How effective is it? I will demonstrate it for you later.
In terms of network, Tesla has received all-round technical support from pre-installed INTEL network cards, such as remote startup, shutdown, hibernation, wake-up, software distribution, operating system distribution, user screen interception, and remote maintenance of system failures.
etc."
"This can be used as a server for a small business!" the middle-aged man murmured to himself.
"If your company does not exchange large-scale database data, the daily network traffic is not large, and there is no need to be shut down continuously for a long time, then I recommend that you use the Tesla T1 low-end configuration, which removes the top-level graphics card and sound card, is more cost-effective, and is fully qualified for small companies.
Server needs. The most important thing is that Tesla T1 is pre-installed with the WIN2000 operating system, which itself is a member of the windows.NT series!"
The middle-aged man nodded and finally asked: "Just one question, your company stipulates that the tamper-evident seal is not allowed to be removed during the warranty period. If I need a video capture card..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiao Ning took out a shopping list and said, "Sir, the company provides a full range of customized services for high-end customers, from ordinary video capture cards to broadcast-level video compression cards, and the prices are definitely higher than yours.
It’s cheaper to buy it on your own in the market.”
"18800." The middle-aged man's eyes were staring at the most expensive option, which made Jiao Ning's heart beat wildly. Advertising company? TV station?
"delivery date?"
"The worst three days in Beijing are."
“Are there any discounts for group purchases?”
"Sir, Tesla never discounts its prices, let alone its services."
After lowering his head and thinking about it, the middle-aged man raised his head and said with a smile: "Let's place an order, 20 sets of top-end equipment, install this Apollo Expert DVDer capture card."
A broadcast-level real-time compression card with a unit price of 18,880 yuan. Jiao Ning secretly sighed, holding back the ecstasy in his heart, "Sir, please come with me."
After saying that, he led the middle-aged man to the cashier. On the way, he gave the store manager Tang Feng a hard look.
"Little girl, if someone could remind me at any time like your store manager did when I was young, maybe I could avoid a lot of detours."
"..." Jiao Ning bit her lip with a complicated look on her face, "Thank you, sir!"
"You're welcome." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "By the way, I'm still a fan of your boss Zhao Song's advertising industry. Remember to ask for an autograph for me. Just give it to me next time I come back."
"Yeah." If you come here every day, I will ask for your autograph every day! Jiao Ning thought to himself.
Five minutes later, Jiao Ning came to Tang Feng with a look of admitting his mistake.
"Store manager, I was wrong!"
"This is the second time. If you back your hands in front of customers from now on, there will be no next time!"
"Yes!" Jiao Ning nodded honestly, and asked with a playful smile: "Store manager, if T1 in other stores has the same sales volume as ours, then T1 will be considered successful on the market, right?"
"That's not called success!" Tang Feng shook his head, "that's called a surprising victory!
Just wait, the sales data will be out tonight."
………………
This weekend, many people at Tesla are working hard, except Zhao Song.
After burying the gold, Xizi went to pack it, and Xiaoyu ran to Youjia Club.
In front of a house, Zhao Song was left alone, eating melon seeds and reading a book, and vaguely listened to the singing coming from the club.
The book is not a book, but a magazine, but it is thicker than turning around. It is full of contact numbers and product quotations of various PC suppliers. On it, the prices of various compatible machines range from 4,000 to 20,000.
, it is said that the owner of this magazine is already an upstart in Beijing's advertising industry. By the way, the name of the advertising magazine is "Computer Business Intelligence".
Looking at the magazine, Zhao Song suddenly felt a very familiar feeling. Putting aside the advertising nature of the magazine, these suppliers were simply the Dell of 17 years ago.
In 1982, IBM disclosed all technical information on IBM PCs except BIOS, thus forming an "open standard" for PCs, making standard components from different manufacturers interchangeable.
The compatible machine was born. Dell appeared at this time.
The market price of an IBM is US$3,000, but the assembly of parts purchased from the market is only one-fifth of the price.
So Dell rented a garage and advertised, and I would install the configuration at whatever price you want, door-to-door delivery, one-on-one service, and just like that, the best business model in the world - Dell's direct sales, was known like this.
Fiddle it out.
In fact, there is only one brand-name computer in the true sense, and that is the computer produced by IBM that uses a chip produced by INTEL as the CPU.
The others are all compatible machines, including domestic Fantasy, Founder and Great Wall.
Because at that time, the core computer technology was controlled in the United States, island countries and other countries, and most of the production lines were in foreign countries. The domestic ones basically processed and assembled the supplied materials, and then sold them under their own brands.
This is also the reason why Fantasy went to Xiangjiang to open a company in the 1990s, which was the transfer station of its procurement chain. All spare parts from around the world were purchased from Xiangjiang and then shipped back to China.
More than ten years have passed, and the global PC industry has completed its transfer to Asia, and the scale of the industry has become extremely huge. At this time, if we continue to play the garage model that Dell started with, just a small order volume, let alone the manufacturer, even the second-level dealers
Ignore you!
In Zhao Song's mind, a branded machine is a personal computer in which all spare parts are OEM with his own trademark. This is what he wanted to do from the beginning. With it, not to mention the cost issue, only the supporting equipment of the assembly factory is considered.
The local government and employment environment that will benefit are just like a gold-encrusted business card!
If you want to succeed, you have to be ruthless at the bottom level. In Zhonghai, Zhao Song was ruthless all the way.
The upper level relies on you, communicates, compromises, and plays both sides. The swords and swords under the smiling face are all dealt with by your exquisite methods. If you continue to fight like Zhonghai everywhere... that is a fool!
Previously, someone wanted to help Zhao Song arrange where Tesla's cash flow would go. Zhao Song hesitated, which was not a bad thing, but a great good thing.
The land is worthless now, what about the mines?
That's how society is.
Losers complain on the keyboard about the darkness of society while some successful people who seem to have the ability always usher in the beauty of society.
Zhao Song smiled self-deprecatingly, stood up with the "Computer Business Information" and walked to his room.
He refused! Like a fool!
Then all the funds were invested in the construction of the supply chain - without any previous sales data for reference!
No matter he wins or loses, at least his attitude has been expressed! He has to struggle in this industry, otherwise, don’t look for me!
……………….
Now, the company's people are working hard, Weiwei Group is also working hard, and the International Data Group IDG has also accepted Tesla's commission to predict T1's future sales!
The plan to win and the strategy to lose, the frustrating words he said to Xizi before can only be regarded as venting, so many people's lives are all burdened by Tesla, Zhao Song does not dare to feel at ease in front of a rich man.
It's just that he can't do anything until the results come out.
Sitting in front of the desk, he took out the diary from the drawer, opened a few pages, and started browsing at will.
"February 25. Aizhi Shares changed its name to Shenzhou Technology Co., Ltd. and went public. The stock code is 600052. The total market value is 25.2 billion, and the tradable stock market value is 4.3 billion. The restricted tradable shares are 20.9 billion, and the total share capital is 3.88 billion shares. Accounting for 10%
89.2.
My personal 36.83% plus 5% of the employee option pool is a relatively controlling share. In the future, where will these institutions take Shenzhou’s market value? Let’s wait and see!”
"On the 26th, the flagship store in Ginza, Japan, opened. This was Tesla's first independent step in selling to the international market. The unexpected hot sale of TPOD2 is very remarkable in that digital kingdom! Unfortunately, the media is still reporting for the release.
Yes, no one pays attention to the significance of this matter. T1...sales volume is 0. What is the reason? I hope IDG can help find out the answer."
"On the 27th, the 12 girls are really awesome. The island country is very popular, and they also have a positive voice in the country. Come on!"
"On the 28th, I transferred Yuan Wu back. I wanted to see what kind of person those people would find for the Shenzhou production department.
But this is a good thing for Tesla. Yuan Wu's return has officially liberated Gui Luyang, and Tesla's management has been officially improved. Next, it depends on how well they cooperate with the IBM team.
Speaking of which, when it comes to introducing the IBM team, Tesla has a huge advantage over Mr. Ren’s behavior. He is opposed by the whole company, and I am supported by everyone.
Regarding Huawei, I must correct my attitude. It is just a company, researching chips, just to reduce the cost of communication equipment! The best proof is that the price of equipment with the same functions is 1/3 lower than that of foreign companies!
Similarly, Tesla Microelectronics is just one company, and we must not give in to each other when it comes to competing for talent strategies in the communications industry in the future."
Seeing this, Zhao Song raised his head and looked to the south. No one knew how many big names Huawei was hiding at this time.
Li Yinu, who was in the junior class of Huazhong Science and Technology, should leave Huawei now, right? The talented young man who took Huawei from 400 million to 20 billion in revenue in seven years should now go to Hong Kong to establish Harbor Network.
That future Xiaohuawei! By the way, it seems that he was the one who founded Mavericks Electric more than ten years later!
This is a genius. When he is imprisoned in a glass house by Mr. Ren in two years, try to poach him. This guy is perfect for being a project leader!
Thinking of good things, Zhao Song lowered his head and thought about Tesla's talent pool with a headache.
Those who are laid off, those who blush when talking to others, those who are lame, those who are deaf, those who are mute...
Tesla is an amazing company where the average education level of part-time employees is higher than that of full-time employees. Can they win this battle?
Zhao Song shook his head slowly, then stopped immediately, and then turned over the notebook in his hand.
"Tesla TI is just a small personal computer. But when you go big, it is a server, a workstation, big data, and cloud computing; when you go small, it is an all-in-one computer and a notebook.
It’s a tablet, it’s a mobile phone, it’s artificial intelligence, it’s the Internet of Things that connects everything! It’s used in everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water.
From IC design to chip packaging, from processing equipment to special materials, this is a super industry that XX will never be able to complete in several lifetimes!
Zhao Song, don’t ask for land or mines! Do it well, and maybe when we get old, a hearing aid that can reduce noise, have high fidelity and be cheap will come out!”
Seeing this, Zhao Song couldn't help but laugh. Wenqing is a disease, and he has to be cured if he makes it from time to time.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
At this time...there was no time to think carefully, Zhao Song picked up the answer in a hurry.
"Boss... America's E3 game show... order contracts, boss, it's all order contracts!"
Zhao Song heard nothing except the joyful word 'boss'. At this time, he raised his hands high, like a general returning in triumph!
Just like how much performance Intel improves, Microsoft can eat it up. The same is true for the relationship between graphics cards and game manufacturers.
At the just-concluded E3 game show in the United States, major game series such as "Final Fantasy", "Age of Empires", "Max Payne" and "Suicide Squad" have successively announced the release schedule for the entire series to support Dirxt8.0.
Tesla's super order, while paying a lot of price, will occupy 90% of Nvidia's GeForce3 graphics processing chip production in the next three months.
Zhao Song, with his uncertain golden finger, once again won a bet!
