After saying this, Wang Chenyu asked Fu Yong again: "Mr. Fu, if I can get the order from Director Ruan, what is your expected profit margin? To be honest, Director Ruan's requirements are actually a bit high, but the budget is also stuck. If our common products are to fully meet Director Ruan's requirements, the price will definitely not be low."

Fu Yong was a little surprised that Wang Chenyu would say this at this time. In his impression and concept, Gongli, as a domestic manufacturer, must have a much lower product price than foreign manufacturers, even if Ruan Guangmin put forward some new capacity requirements.

To put it bluntly, this price is the cost price given to him by common benefits. He also needs to add another piece of profit to this basis and ensure that the overall price cannot exceed 3 million after adding his profit.

Now Wang Chenyu actually told him that the allocation and quotation according to Ruan Guangmin's requirements may be a high cost to report it with common benefits, which is quite disappointing for Fu Yong.

Why did Fu Yong start approaching Ruan Guangmin half a year in advance and make his relationship with Ruan Guangmin a good friend, not to make money? In essence, Fu Yong is still a businessman, and the ultimate goal of a businessman is to make more money.

So Fu Yong did not answer Wang Chenyu's question positively and asked back: "You also know that the user's budget is 3 million, and this upper limit must be determined and it is impossible to break the budget. You first try to calculate the common shipment price and configure it for me to see how many points of profit will be when I see it."

Without saying a word, Wang Chenyu turned on the laptop he carried with him, and after a roughly simple calculation, he said: "I roughly calculated that if I use fiber optic hard disks and scsi hard disks, because the maximum number of hard disks in each disk array is limited, at least 250 hard disks will be configured. Converted into a disk array, you must use at least 3 disk arrays to purchase. This is still the demand of the military department. If the civilian department also needs a disk array of the same capacity to store data, a total of 6 disk arrays filled with hard disks must be required to meet Director Ruan's requirements. It can be said that such a number of disk arrays plus an expansion cabinet will exceed the project budget limit of 3 million even if it is calculated using the current hard disk prices on the market."

Fu Yong also knew that the military product department proposed by Ruan Guangmin had 20 TBs, and the civil product department had to store 20 TBs, which was indeed a bit embarrassing. He shook his head and said, "It seems that it is impossible for us to use fiber optic hard drives or SSCSI hard drives in this project. Are you going to calculate the use of ide hard drives? In the end, how much is the cost price that you can give our company to the same profit?"

Wang Chenyu calculated it briefly and said: "If you use an IDE hard drive, since the maximum capacity of a single disk has increased greatly, you can only need two disk arrays filled with hard drives, one for the military product department and the other for the civil product department. If the price is about the same, the total price will be around 1.5 million."

Fu Yong couldn't help but be surprised and asked: "How come the difference between the two prices will be so big after using different hard drives?"

Wang Chenyu explained: "The maximum capacity of a single hard disk of fiber optic hard disk or scsi hard disk is 80gb. In terms of the number of hard disks alone, it is three times the number of Ide hard disks. In addition, the unit price of fiber optic hard disk and SSSI hard disk is higher, so the cost will be greatly reduced in the hard disk. In addition, the use of fiber optic hard disk or scsi hard disk will also lead to a 3-fold increase in disk array and expansion cabinet, which is another significant increase in cost. This is why the cost price of the two solutions is so big. I am only worried about one thing now. I don't say that the reading and writing speed of the Ide hard disk is much worse, but in fact the stability and lifespan are much worse than that of fiber optic hard disk or scsi hard disk. If I really want to use Ide hard disk, what I worry about is that when data is stored in the future, it will lead to the loss of user data due to insufficient performance and stability of Ide."

Of course, Fu Yong is also very clear that the lifespan of the IDE hard drive is relatively poor, but he is worthy of being an old man who has been in the IT circle for many years. He said directly: "In fact, even if I have not sold hard drives in large quantities, I know that the hard drives on the market that are configured for PC desktops and laptops only have one year warranty. This is a strategy of hard drive manufacturers. In fact, the warranty period of these ide hard drives is three years, but in order to avoid risks, the hard drive manufacturers only publicize the warranty period to only one year. However, hard drive manufacturers also produce a lot of so-called enterprise-level ide hard drives every year, and hard drive manufacturers implement a 5-year warranty period for this ide hard drive. As far as I know, this ide hard drive directly promoted by hard drive manufacturers is more stable and of better quality than other ide hard drives circulating on the market. Otherwise, hard drive manufacturers would not be able to specialize in selling this kind of ide hard drives."

Of course, Wang Chenyu is also very clear that the kind of ide hard drives pointed out by Fu Yong are more stable than ordinary ide hard drives and are less likely to be malfunctioned or damaged. After all, many hard drives are plugged in products that are popular, so Wang Chenyu is very familiar with the unspoken rules of hard drives in the industry that are not known to outsiders.

When he used the Ide hard drive to calculate the shipment price, he had already considered using this kind of enterprise-grade Ide hard drive that can be warranted by the hard drive manufacturer for 5 years. But Wang Chenyu was also very clear that this Ide hard drive has a limited stability improvement over the Ide hard drive that is common on the market, and the price difference between the price and the average Ide hard drive is not very large.

Therefore, Wang Chenyu nodded and said, "Mr. Fu, I understand what you mean. However, this so-called enterprise-level ID hard drive has limited stability improvement. If we use this hard drive, we will still face risks. We must estimate this in advance, so as not to lose data due to hard drive corruption in the future."

Fu Yong thought about it and made up his mind: "If we are worried that this kind of problem may still occur in the future, then we might as well buy more extra hard disks to spare. Anyway, the raid protection mechanism inside the disk array, especially the raid5 technology, allows the entire raid group to damage a hard disk and continue to ensure that the data on the hard disk in the raid group will not be lost. At that time, as long as we find that a hard disk is damaged in each raid group, we will immediately replace the faulty hard disk with the blank hard disk we prepared."
