Chapter 1908: The Price Butcher
"How much does our 386 computer cost?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"The price is 20,000 yuan."
"Where's 286?"
"Fifteen thousand yuan." Ni Guangnan said, this price is already considered a relatively low price without cutting corners.
This is because the reputation of Huaqing Holding Group is loud enough, so it can get this price by purchasing products from other companies.
"What is the cost of a 386 computer?" Jiang Xiaobai continued to ask.
"About fifteen thousand yuan." Ni Guangnan replied.
"It's too expensive." Jiang Xiaobai said without thinking.
Ni Guangnan didn't know how to answer. In fact, whether it was ten thousand or twenty thousand, ordinary families could not afford this.
It is mainly aimed at business offices and the like. The purchase price that can be used for business offices is actually 10,000 or 20,000.
Everyone doesn't care about the money.
Before Ni Guangnan opened his mouth to persuade Jiang Xiaobai with his own reasons, Jiang Xiaobai said: "You know, the company established this computer company because of a strategic plan.
You haven’t read the strategic plan, but you should know the name. The full name of this strategic plan is the Home Computer Plan.”
Ni Guangnan nodded, he understood what Jiang Xiaobai wanted to say.
The home computer plan aims at the user market positioning of families.
For a family, it makes a big difference whether a computer costs 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan.
"Our home computer plan is aimed at families, not business offices. You must be clear about this...
For a family, if it costs a thousand yuan, it may affect their choice, either to go to the nearby computer store, or to cancel the purchase plan.
Whether it’s 20,000 yuan or 10,000 yuan, the price is too expensive.”
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Ni Guangnan and said seriously.
Ni Guangnan nodded. Although they have advantages compared with other computers on the market, this advantage is not obvious.
"Director Jiang, how low do you want to lower this price?" Ni Guangnan looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked.
"Ten thousand," Jiang Xiaobai said.
As soon as Ni Guangnan heard this, he stood up from the sofa, looked at Jiang Xiaobai's eyes widened and asked: "Dr. Jiang, you mean to reduce it to 10,000 yuan?"
He seriously suspected that Jiang Xiaobai didn't understand computers at all. As a joke, if the price was reduced to ten thousand yuan, it goes without saying that their computer company would make money.
Even parts can't be purchased. For ten thousand yuan, Jiang Xiaobai really dares to think and speak.
"Don't be impatient!" Jiang Xiaobai smiled and pushed Ni Guangnan back onto the sofa.
"I haven't finished speaking yet?"
"You haven't finished yet?" Ni Guangnan's eyes widened.
"I heard that the foreign Intel company has released a processor called Pentium?"
Ni Guangnan glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and said: "Dr. Jiang is very concerned about the computer industry. There is such a thing. Not only the Pentium 1 but also the Pentium 2 are out. I saw in the newspaper that there is no Pentium 2 in China yet.
."
"Is the second generation of Pentium released?" Jiang Xiaobai asked in surprise. He estimated that Pentium should be released at this time, but he did not expect that it would already be the second generation.
"Yeah." Ni Guangnan nodded.
"Then can this processor be used on our computers?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
Ni Guangnan pondered for a moment and said: "There are two data pipelines in the Pentium processor, which can execute two instructions at the same time.
Intel calls this ability to execute two instructions simultaneously superscalar technology.
This technology allows Pentium processors to work faster at a rate of two instructions per cycle."
"It is indeed much better than today's processors, but the only thing is that this processor is much more expensive."
Ni Guangnan analyzed that as a technical man, of course he likes to configure his computer with a high-end processor.
"Well, I know, so you think about how to use this Pentium processor to bring down the price of our computers." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.
"What?" Ni Guangnan's eyes widened: "Dr. Jiang, you mean to equip it with this Pentium processor and then lower the price to 10,000 yuan?"
"Yeah." Jiang Xiaobai nodded.
"Dr. Jiang, are you kidding?" Ni Guangnan asked in disbelief.
"Dr. Jiang, do you know how much the accessories for this computer cost? Let me tell you, this processor only needs..."
As soon as Ni Guangnan opened his mouth, Jiang Xiaobai interrupted him: "Okay, you don't need to tell me the price, that's what you have to do.
I am only responsible for making demands. Think about it, we need to compete with foreign brands and with Lianxiang.
Then why does our company rely on this featureless computer? Why do consumers buy it just because you are famous?"
Jiang Xiaobai asked. Although Ni Guangnan was still unconvinced, he finally sat down and no longer looked at Jiang Xiaobai like a fool.
"What do we rely on? What we rely on is more favorable prices and better configurations. Otherwise, why would consumers choose us.
Especially in terms of price, this is more important to domestic consumers, so there is nothing to say about price, it must be kept down.
We at Hualian are going to start a bloody price war in this computer industry. We are going to make the computer industry extremely cruel in the future and completely lower the price of computers.
I want to be the price butcher of the computer industry, lowering prices every three days and every two days, completely destroying the computer industry..."
Jiang Xiaobai's words made Ni Guangnan's blood boil with excitement, but after he calmed down, he suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Dr. Jiang, you make it easy. Everyone wants this, but it is too difficult to achieve." Ni Guangnan said.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and patted Ni Guangnan's shoulder and said sincerely: "I know it's difficult, and that's why I came to you.
If it's not difficult, I can recruit anyone to fight. We just have to face the difficulties, and this purpose does not conflict with yours.
We have researched some technologies ourselves and made breakthroughs. After we make breakthroughs, we will produce them ourselves, and won’t the price come down?”
Ni Guangnan nodded: "That's the truth."
"Yes, and I'm not asking you to lower the price all at once. We can do it step by step. Set a goal for yourself, such as the end of this year and the beginning of next year. You must be ready for this."
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Ni Guangnan and said with a smile.
