Chapter 267 A far-reaching exchange: next

"Lenovo 1+1 home computer?"

Yang Qingyuan smacked his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he roared suddenly, "Okay!"

After shouting, I realized that this action was a bit out of control. I said to Lin Zheng with embarrassment, "Mr. Lin's suggestion is really in line with our Lenovo home computer positioning. It is equivalent to spending the money of a computer to buy a computer and a household appliance. This statement is good... It made Mr. Lin laugh. I was worried about this matter during this period. Mr. Lin, you have helped us solve a big problem."

Not only are they worried, they are simply worried. Although Mr. Liu and Yang Qingyuan are both technical talents from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they did not make the most common mistakes made by those technical personnel who started their own businesses. They attach great importance to product design, market positioning, ease of use, and publicity. The success of the e-series home computers has allowed them to taste the sweetness of accurate market positioning and strengthened their confidence in continuing to develop in this market. But how should they develop next? This has been bothering them during this period.

Lin Zheng's words seemed to see the sun, and suddenly pointed out the development direction of Lenovo's home computer for home computers. That's right, since it's home use, it takes value as the selling point. 1+1. Buying a computer from Lenovo is equivalent to buying a computer and a home appliance. Do you think it's worth it? He has even started to quickly think about how to configure such a home computer, how to improve ease of use and other practical technical issues... Well, this is also a common problem for technical personnel.

"My suggestion is so useful?" Lin Zheng joked, "I wonder if there is any bonus for me?"

"Yes! Of course, there are." Yang Qingyuan nodded repeatedly, "But with your value, Mr. Lin, you probably don't like the reward our company gave to employees. Do you think this is good? When you inspect the Kunshan base, I'll go and have a look?"

It is comfortable to talk to smart people. They will always know when to say the most appropriate words. Lin Zheng looked surprised: "I really want to ask for it."

The two looked at each other, feeling a sense of mutual appreciation, and then laughed.

With a preliminary understanding of the other party, the exchange between the two sides became much more enjoyable. Lin Zheng and Yang Qingyuan kept exchanging views on many things, such as Lin Zheng attached great importance to the capital market. In Lin Zheng's view, as the heart of the Republic, the capital is a market that no company is interested in developing nationwide and dare not ignore. There are picky consumers here, and the most comprehensive means of news and acquisition. Zhongguancun, known as the "Silicon Valley of the Republic", is the best market and the worst market for merchants, especially the national electronics industry merchants that are booming in China.

Not only Lin Zheng believes that, but also Mr. Yang Qingyuan, general manager of Lenovo's microcomputer business department, also believes that, as the most famous high-tech center in the north of the Republic, the capital and the capital's high-tech radiation circle gather all the national private brand computer companies in China. For any computer company, it is "those who win Zhongguancun will win the world."

When talking about OEM matters, Yang Qingyuan was full of bitterness, "Mr. Lin, I'm not afraid of you making jokes. If possible, who would want the Wandao company to do OEM for us? They have ugly faces, harsh words, difficult things to handle, and even more awesome than the boss of Tie. But if they don't let them OEM work, our domestic national enterprises can't do such a job at all. If you didn't get the orders from Dell and Compaq this time, we really wouldn't dare to hand over the orders to you. Not only Lenovo, I guess Inspur, Great Wall, Founder, and Uniscope wouldn't dare to do this, because we can't afford to lose."

Lin Zheng nodded in understanding, who made the national computer companies of this era not strong enough? Lenovo, Inspur, Unigroup, Founder and Great Wall are the top five computer industries in the domestic computer industry. They sound very awesome. They are known as the "five golden flowers" of the Republic's computer industry. The products they produce have repeatedly become the main procurement targets of major government agencies and research institutes.

It looks amazing, right? But a fact that many people don’t know is that the personal microcomputers of the "Five Golden Flowers" are actually manufactured by Renbao, but even so, Renbao is not willing to produce OEM for the "Five Golden Flowers", because Renbao, awesome company, believes that OEM for mainland computer companies, has affected them for other companies.

Of course, it is understandable that Renbao is so awesome. As of the end of 1994, the capacity of the personal computer consumer market in mainland China was limited, and almost all of this limited capacity was occupied by international brands such as Kangbo, ibm, HP, ast, etc. The sales volume of national computer companies mainly composed of Lenovo and Great Wall is actually very limited. For example, Lenovo, they launched the first domestic Lenovo e-series home 386 computer priced at 10,000 yuan last year. In the first month of its launch, it achieved a sales miracle of more than 5,500 units per month... You read that correctly, there are only 5,500 units, which is the first month that caused the biggest response after the launch of the new phone. But even this number that will definitely be considered a shame in the future, it has now been recognized by the domestic computer industry as a sales miracle. It is conceivable how hard the mainland national computer companies live.

Faced with this miserable situation, Lin Zheng believes that they will never expect that one day in the future, the production capacity of domestic personal microcomputers will reach 337 million units (including domestic sales and exports), while the annual sales of Lenovo Group alone can reach an astonishing 55 million units, and the total shipment volume of products including smartphones and tablets is as high as 120 million!

Lin Zheng felt that if he dared to look forward to Comrade Lao Yang, Lenovo would probably cancel his cooperation with Lianchuang Technology in 20 years: We dare not cooperate with lunatics.

"I can understand," Lin Zheng nodded repeatedly, "We have also learned about Renbao's situation. To be honest, Renbao is not a good OEM partner. Foxconn at the window is a good choice, but Foxconn seems to be more inclined to do foreign trade. Perhaps Mr. Yang knows that among the competitors competing for Compaq and Dell OEM orders, Lianchuang Technology's competitors are Foxconn and Asus."

"I heard that," Yang Qingyuan smiled on his face when he heard Lin Zheng talk about this, and he gave Lin Zheng a thumbs up, saying, "As a company that didn't even have a factory at that time, you were able to convince Compaq and Dell to choose you one after another. To be honest, when we first saw this report, we thought it was a satellite placed in domestic newspapers, and we couldn't believe it at all. How could this be possible? It was only after verifying it many times that we dared to believe that this report was true. Mr. Lin, you have made a lot of trouble for our national enterprise! Mr. Lin, can you tell me how you convince Compaq and Dell?"

Yang Qingyuan was very curious about this question.

The surrounding Lenovo company's accompanying staff also raised their ears, and they were also very curious about this issue.

Not only Yang Qingyuan and his colleagues were curious, but none of the people who knew about this at home and abroad were not curious. In their opinion, it was impossible to do what Lianchuang Technology wanted to do. Even after knowing Lianchuang Technology's ambition, no matter how you think about it, there was no one in China saying sarcastic sarcasm, but when everyone was not optimistic about it, such a thing that was impossible became reality in Lin Zheng's hands, which was as magical as magic. Everyone naturally began to curious: How did this magic change?

"This is actually a little secret of mine, so I won't take it out and show it to be ugly." Knowing that Yang Qingyuan would definitely take the opportunity to ask this question, Lin Zheng made a fuss and turned the topic aside.

"This is really a pity." Although Yang Qingyuan knew that Lin Zheng would not answer 99% of the time when he asked this question, hearing this answer in his ears still made Yang Qingyuan feel a little regretful. However, Lin Zheng was unwilling to say it, and he couldn't force it. What Lin Zheng said today will be useful for Lenovo for at least 10 years. If you ask these questions again, you will not be authentic. Then he changed the topic and asked Lin Zheng, "Mr. Lin, at the end of last year, a little brother who made batteries came out of our Chinese Academy of Sciences, saying that he is doing it very well in the window city... I heard that Mr. Lin, you are still my junior brother's partner?"

They are all from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Although they are not working in the Chinese Academy of Sciences now, Lenovo has obtained a lot of technical support from the exchanges and interactions between Lenovo and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Yang Qingyuan naturally heard of Wang Chuanfu, a young junior brother who came from the Battery Research Institute, and now he is just right to talk about it.

Lin Zheng nodded with a smile, "I also invested some money and then I will share some profits in the future and make some profits."

"Mr. Lin is too modest," Yang Qingyuan shook his head, "When the boatman came to the window to start a business, there were 3 million in total, including your 2 million. In addition to two-thirds of the money, you only need less than one-third of the shares... Xiao Wang did a little less than one-third of the money."

"It's okay. I don't plan to interfere in the operation and management of his company anyway. I'm just waiting to share the money. One-third of the shares is good," Lin Zheng said with a smile. "I'm actually quite optimistic about the boatman's ability and the prospects of his company. I'm just taking advantage of it."

Yang Qingyuan shook his head and said nothing. Of course, he could understand the boatman's concerns. The company he had worked hard to create was absolutely controlled by others. He would not do it even if he had done it. However, he spent two-thirds of the funds. I heard that he helped you solve most of the product sales, and in the end he only received 35% of the shares. This little guy's mind was really a little smaller. (To be continued...)
