Chapter 606 Price Announcement 2

The announcement of the i5's price naturally sparked heated discussions among countless netizens.

The price wasn't as cheap as they expected; although the quality was good, the price was still quite high.

They're even more excited about the price of the i7, especially for laptops.

"We'll continue. Many people may not be satisfied with the price of the i5, thinking it's not cheap enough, but I can't help it. Research, production, and so on all require money. To put it bluntly, if the second-generation Zhanlong chip doesn't reach 7 million units, we won't even break even."

People only see that our fees are relatively high, but they don't know how much we invest. I can tell you that even a small physics lab requires over a billion US dollars because our design and construction are among the most advanced and top-tier in the world.

Many devices have been lost or are subject to embargoes by multiple countries. Fortunately, Zhanlong Technology has branches all over the world and strong technical capabilities. We have no shortage of many types of equipment, and the restrictions imposed on us by these countries are not very effective.

Let me briefly explain: last year, Zhanlong Technology invested 876 billion US dollars in research and development! This is R&D funding, not salaries.

"Damn, an investment of over 80 billion US dollars! Just how incredible is Zhanlong Technology? It's amazing! How many companies in China would dare to do this, and are willing to do it? If that's the case, the price of the Loongson 2 processor is still acceptable, and even a little cheap."

"This is what a technology company should be, this is what a major international corporation should be, this is what a star company should be. If a company like this doesn't grow strong, what company should grow strong!"

"The Crown Prince once said that Zhanlong Technology would never go public. Do you know why?!" Zhuge Yun's words stunned everyone. This news was too explosive.

Because countless investors are waiting for Zhanlong Technology to go public.

Some companies are even planning how to take Zhanlong Technology public.

But now Zhuge Yun has dropped a bombshell.

At the same time, they were also very curious as to why Chen Yu was unwilling to take the company public!

"One of the most important reasons is that once the company goes public, many investors will come in and interfere with Zhanlong's operations. Would they agree to Zhanlong Technology's investment of more than 8 billion US dollars in research and development?"

These investors will not, absolutely will not, agree to Zhanlong Technology investing so much in research and development.

Because it's too risky for them. They prefer to take what's readily available. Zhanlong Technology has always positioned itself as a technology company, and scientific research is the foundation of our company.

Therefore, Zhanlong Technology will absolutely not go public!

After hearing Zhuge Yun's explanation, everyone applauded. This was a true technology company, a company focused on technology.

"That's very well said! If our country's enterprises had this kind of mindset, how could they not grow stronger!"

"Wow, this is what a great enterprise should be like! Now I understand Chen Yu's thinking. The significance of Zhanlong Technology's existence is not to make a lot of money, but to develop as many new technologies as possible!"

"I'm impressed. I used to support Zhanlong Technology's IPO and its potential to become the world's most awesome tech company. But now it seems that's no longer necessary. Zhanlong Technology has already become the world's most awesome tech company!"

"Is this really a Chinese technology company?! Why am I so moved? The leaders of those companies in our country that claim to be technology companies should be ashamed!"

"Support Zhanlong Technology, don't let it go public. We hope you can give us the best technology!"

"Okay, let's put those topics aside for now and talk about a new topic: the latest generation of Loongson i7 series."

The i7 1800 is a dual-core, six-thread processor specifically designed for laptops, offering both performance and improved battery life. And the price?! Let me tell you, this chip sells for $270, and importantly, it's not sold individually; the $270 price is for 10000 units.

In addition, we will provide standards. If major companies need to replace chips, the price must not exceed $3. Users can monitor this, and we will sign corresponding agreements with the companies.

To ensure the interests of users to the greatest extent possible.

Meanwhile, we've also prepared a new product for this company, which we'll discuss later! Let's continue talking about the chip.

The i7 4400 quad-core, quad-thread CPU is priced at $628, while the price in China is 2888 yuan!

The i7 2400 quad-core, eight-thread processor is priced at $400, while its price in China is 2288 RMB. This is also a laptop processor, and like before, it's not sold privately; the minimum order is 10000 chips. Consumers who need to replace the chip can do so at the corresponding company, and the price will not exceed $450.

Of course, if the company ceases to exist for some special reason, you can go to Zhanlong Technology's after-sales service center and we will replace it for you.

The i7 2600 quad-core, twelve-thread CPU is priced at $666, while the price in China is 3188 yuan!

The i7 2600 quad-core, twelve-thread CPU is priced at $729, while the price in China is 3488 yuan!

The i7 2600 quad-core, twelve-thread CPU is priced at $828, while the price in China is 3888 yuan!

The i732 1 six-core twelve-thread CPU is priced at $1688, while the price in China is 888 yuan!

The i7 3300, a six-core, 18-thread processor, is priced at $3999, while its price in China is 21000 yuan!

This price has surprised many people, especially the price of the i7 3300 six-core 18-thread chip, which was much more unexpected than the previous chip price.

"Some people asked why the i7 3300 six-core 18-thread is so cheap this time. It's because the quality isn't as outrageous as the last one, which was designed and built to military standards. Without that stringent standard, the price naturally went down."

Some people say, "The difference between six cores and twelve threads and six cores and eighteen threads is too big!" To that, I can only say, "I can't help it. It's a threshold. Creating a dual-threaded version of a six-core CPU isn't difficult, but a triple-threaded version is quite challenging." I'm even considering throwing away this one because of its low yield rate.

But since it's already out and the results are good, why keep it a secret? If someone wants it, we can recoup our costs, right?

While we may not be familiar with military-grade quality, ours is absolutely top-notch. It won't affect normal use. If you're talking about the almost obsessive requirements of military-grade products, we have those too—that's the EX series.
