Countercurrent 1982

So when Duan Yun proposed that he did not plan to make money from selling notebooks, Ni Guangnan felt unbelievable, and even thought he heard it wrong, because it was beyond his understanding of business.

"Mr. Ni, you are engaged in scientific research." Duan Yun gave Ni Guangnan a thumbs up, and then said: "But you may still need to learn to do business. There are two types of layouts for doing business, long-term and short-term. Although sometimes it does not make money in a short period of time, or even loses money, but in the long run, it may be a very good business."

"Ah." Hearing this, Ni Guangnan seemed to understand something, but he didn't fully understand it, but one thing Duan Yun said was right, he was really not very good at business matters, and Duan Yun is currently the most important person in Mainland China. As a successful private entrepreneur, since Duan Yun said so, he must have his reasons.

"What I want is product market share. We have a lot of trump cards in our hands, whether it is capital scale, technical talents, or various after-sales networks. There is no other company in China that can compare with our Tianyin Group, so we have For these costs, we can use another way to play." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Let me tell you clearly, notebook computers are still a niche industry in China, and there are not many units sold in a year. There are very few notebooks that can afford it. Even if we have a 1% profit, the money we earn in a year will never exceed 10/1, or even 10/[-], of DVD and car products. The reason why we want to develop this industry is, It's just for our group's future Internet era, in other words, even if we sell this notebook product at a loss, I can accept it."

Duan Yun finally told Ni Guangnan his true intention at this time.

Obviously, from the very beginning, Duan Yun did not intend to make money by selling laptops at present. The main reason is that there are too few domestic laptop users. Compared with desktop computer users, laptop users even Not even 1/10.So even if the profit of a single notebook is high, the total profit is not much at all.

What Duan Yun likes is to promote and cover domestic operating system users in China, because on this platform, Duan Yun has initially established a relatively complete software ecosystem. Cooperating with well-known genuine software technology companies, Duan Yun's domestic operating system already has a complete set of office, communication and e-commerce platform structures. From the previous life, the Internet will be the biggest technology company in China in the next ten years. Gold mines, later generations such as Tencent, Alibaba, and JD.com have all become one of the technology companies with the highest market value in the world, and Lenovo, Founder, etc., the most well-known domestic technology companies that rely on selling computers for a living, have made great achievements in their later development. are very limited, and the annual profit is even less than one percent of these well-known Internet companies.

So what Duan Yun sees is a longer-term development, not to mention that Tianyin Group has already obtained very rich profits by selling electronic products and automobile products every year. The foreign exchange alone is close to 20 billion yuan. Such a strong financial strength, Even if the laptop is sold at a loss for several years, it will not have much impact on Tianyin Group as a whole.

However, other computer companies in China may not be able to hold on for too long under the pressure of strong competition from Tianyin Computer. After all, they do not have as strong a family background as Duan Yun. At that time, Duan Yun can use the form of holding shares , Acquisition and purchase of these companies, thus dominating the domestic PC computer market for a long time.

"Okay." Hearing what Duan Yun said, Ni Guangnan nodded.

In fact, Ni Guangnan still can't fully understand Duan Yun's business intentions, but it doesn't matter, because although he is the chief engineer of the group company, he is still just a part-time worker after all. Do it, even if he thinks it is not suitable for doing this, and Ni Guangnan knows that he is far inferior to Duan Yun in terms of business, so he will not raise any rebuttal opinions.

"When we engage in scientific research, we should choose more than work hard. If we don't have the right direction, we may be exhausted and we will not get the results we want." Duan Yun glanced at Ni Guangnan, and then said: "I know that Ni Teacher, you have always been focusing on the research of microelectronics hardware technology, but now, I need you to pay more attention to the development of software. In the past, electronic products were basically analog electronic products, but the future belongs to the era of digital electronics, so the development of software Research and development has become very important. Another point is that the world has entered the Internet age, and our domestic Internet development has also begun to advance rapidly. You have seen the company's development in the past few years. We have been seizing the opportunities of the Internet age. , so in the future research and development of computer products, you need to focus more on the development of Internet functions.”

"Mr. Duan, you mean to develop a laptop computer that can access the Internet?" Ni Guangnan responded quickly, so he asked quickly.

"That's right, that's what it means." Duan Yun nodded, and then said: "Our desktop computers can all access the Internet, and laptops can also use some hardware devices to achieve Internet access functions, but I think the biggest advantage of laptops is that they are portable and easy to move around. , so I need you to be able to develop a laptop that can surf the Internet wirelessly."

Considering the rapid increase in the number of domestic Internet users in the past two years, laptops have become a must-have feature for surfing the Internet.

As for the laptop wireless Internet access mentioned by Duan Yun, this technology is relatively avant-garde. In the current world, there is no laptop with similar functions, including IBM, and their laptops are only available. It can be connected to the Internet through a network cable, and there is a dedicated external jack, but no computer capable of wireless Internet access has been developed yet.

In fact, it was not until July 1999, 7 that the world's first wireless Internet access notebook computer iBook was really born.

iBook is a notebook computer specially produced by Apple Computer for consumers and students. With the development of technology, it was replaced by MacBook in 2006.

With the current technology accumulation of Yitian Group in the field of microelectronics and Internet communication transmission, it is completely possible to develop a notebook computer with wireless Internet access function. How to realize the miniaturization of the wireless network card in the live broadcast and achieve the cost accepted by consumers, this needs Tianyin Group engineers went to solve this problem.
