Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

It only took half a month for 40000 Zhiyuan computers to be sold out, and the sales department’s phone number was blaring with calls from dealers...

Luo Binghui is not anxious at all. Over the years, he has almost learned Yang Mo's marketing methods. Can't buy is more effective than any advertisement. The psychological implications of hunger marketing on consumers, to put it bluntly, is buying. Just grab it!

The domestic market cannot open up supply, but Yang Mo has set his sights on the European and American markets.

At the end of October, the first batch of 10 Zhiyuan computers was sent to the Hamburg transit warehouse.

11 month 11 day.

The official flagship store of Zhiyuan Computer is online on Amazon.

Because of tariffs, the price of US$1199 does not have much price advantage compared to Japanese brands such as Sharp and Toshiba.

However, Amazon used some clever traffic tilting and order brushing to put Zhiyuan Computer on the homepage. Amazon officials helped control reviews, and it received rave reviews for a while...

The 500 computers sold out quickly.

On December 12, Amazon’s Zhiyuan Computer flagship store launched a 1 for 99 pre-order event. The first 149 consumers who book Zhiyuan Computer will enjoy a $1000 deposit to offset the $99 payment, and will also receive a beautiful mouse pad with the Bayern Munich logo and A signed photo of a player (randomly selected).

Zhiyuan Computer relied on these dazzling online marketing methods to become an instant success and gradually gained a foothold in the European market.

Luo Binghui struck while the iron was hot and gave priority to supplying the Zhiyuan computers produced overtime to the European market.

The inability to keep up with production capacity has seriously restricted the development of Zhiyuan Computer Technology. With such a God-given opportunity, one cannot just watch orders slip away from one's hands.

Luo Binghui couldn't care about that much and began to hire people from Lenovo and Great Wall factories with high salaries. Yang Mo even called Wang Zhi specifically to explain. However, Wang Zhi learned that Zhiyuan Computer was in short supply due to overseas orders, so he didn't take it to heart. superior……

In sharp contrast to the rapid progress of Zhiyuan Computer Technology, the sales of Lenovo's main model - Lenovo Tongxi have been declining, and the sales data are all supported by notebook computers!

………………

"Zhiyuan Computer sells for $1199 on Amazon?" Liu Zhi asked with a frown.

"Yes, it was almost sold out. Now you need to book in advance to get the goods. I don't know what kind of bad luck they got..." Yang Qing showed a look of envy.

"Can we also take the laptop and Lenovo Tongxi to Amazon to sell?" Liu Zhi asked after pondering for a moment.

"Amazon's major shareholder is Zhiyuan International! Can they allow us to sell on the Amazon platform?" Yang Qing said worriedly.

"Xiao Yang, have you ever thought about it? Yang Mo has always been friendly to domestic companies, so why does he only have trouble with us?" Liu Zhi asked thoughtfully.

"Is it because of Lao Ni? Is he complaining for Lao Ni?" Yang Qing looked surprised.

"No, during this period I have learned about Yang Mo in detail through various channels. He is not essentially a person who insists on revenge. Besides, Lenovo Group has never interacted with Zhiyuan before and has not offended him at all. Why did he Are you going to do bad things to us one after another?" Liu Zhi said with a frown.

"I heard some gossip, but the words were hard to hear..." Yang Qing said hesitantly.

"What gossip? Don't hesitate!" Liu Zhi had a look of displeasure on his face.

"Yang Mo said in private that we are a comprador company, and he probably has something to do with Lao Ni..." Yang Qing said cautiously.

"Nonsense! We have to give up R&D temporarily and take the trade, industry and technology route. This is a last resort. The domestic computer market is only so big. Who will we spend huge sums of money to develop processors and hard drives to sell to? We can't even recoup the cost! Computer software Hardware is developing at a rapid pace. By the time we develop it, it will be obsolete. If we produce outdated products and eliminate them, how can the company develop if it cannot be sold? Lao Ni, like Wang Zhi, are both idealists..." Liu Zhi said dismissively. .

"That's right! These people only know how to talk on paper. Who doesn't want to master the core technology? However, with our domestic technological level, there is a gap of several decades between that of developed Western countries. Taking the road of independent research and development is a dead end!" Yang Qing was angry and unfair. 's echoed.

Liu Zhi is indeed a hero of the generation. After pondering for a moment, he said thoughtfully: "Xiao Yang, the situation is different now. Independent research and development may be a dead end for other companies, but for Zhiyuan Computer Technology Company, there is really a chance. It can be done! Zhiyuan Group has its own wafer factory and integrated circuit design company. It is said that the research and development of monitors has also made considerable progress. As for the Connor hard drive, it has also been acquired by Andy Investment. Zhiyuan Group has actually basically mastered computers. All key technologies for hardware production…”

"If we produce all core components ourselves, how can we compete with Zhiyuan Computer Technology Company in the future?" Yang Qing said worriedly.

Liu Zhi pinched out the cigarette butt in his hand and said with great determination: "It's time for us to change our business thinking! Cooperate with Zhiyuan Group and take the road of independent research and development!"

"Cooperate with Zhiyuan Group to pursue independent research and development?" Yang Qing felt that his CPU was burned out. He didn't understand how these two completely different business concepts could be put together.

"It can be seen from the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia that Yang Mo is a nationalist at heart. If we change our ways and do not rely on Europe and the United States for core technologies and follow the path of independent research and development, we do not rule out the possibility of cooperation with Zhiyuan... Liu Zhi said thoughtfully

The "Godfather of Capital" still has two skills, and he immediately saw the crux of the problem...

Yang Qing nodded in understanding.

Liu Zhi thought for a while and then continued: "In this case, you go to He Jianye and express our intention to cooperate with Zhiyuan Group to develop processors, and see what kind of reaction Zhiyuan has..."

"Do we really want to cooperate with Zhiyuan Group to develop processors? They have their own wafer factory and chip design company, so they won't agree to cooperate with us?" Yang Qing asked in confusion.

"Of course not. If you can do it independently, why should you let others get a share of the pie?"

Liu Zhi looked at Yang Qing as if he were a fool, and then said: "For you to say this is to lower your profile. As long as it is beneficial to the development of domestic computer companies, we can also purchase accessories produced by companies under the Zhiyuan Group..."

Yang Qing showed an expression of sudden realization and turned to leave.
