The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 399 Unsatisfactory
When Li Jianhui and others were still spending Christmas Eve together in Vancouver, it was already Christmas in Xiangjiang.

Huahong Computer was also officially sold on this day. The relatively low price and simple and easy-to-understand graphical interface attracted the interest of many people.

The sales staff who have undergone simple training are also very hardworking, explaining in detail the various parameter configurations of Huahong Computer and the advantages of Huahong Computer compared with IBM to these visiting customers.

In a specialty store urgently provided by Xiangjiang Central for Hua Hong Group, Tian Haichuan went into battle in person to explain the computer situation and operation to customers, and Jiayi made a live broadcast of this.

Tian Haichuan proudly explained to everyone: "Our computers, from CPU, graphics card, storage, hard disk, sound card, monitor, driver, to operating system and office software, are all developed and produced by our Xiangjiang company. All technologies are self-developed. Have.

In terms of quality, please don't worry about it. Our Huahong Computer is the same as Jingyi Electric Appliances. We also implement a seven-day warranty and three-year warranty for some parts.

And our price is also more affordable than IBM, the price is only 6666 Hong Kong dollars, you can save nearly 5150 Hong Kong dollars, and you can buy products that are not inferior to IBM[-]. "

To be honest, computers are not cheap at present. Although the per capita salary in Xiangjiang has risen relatively rapidly in recent years, the salary of an ordinary restaurant service industry has also risen from about 77 Hong Kong dollars at the end of 800 to about 1500 Hong Kong dollars (including food). The salary of supermarket waiters has also reached about 2000 Hong Kong dollars (not including food and lodging).

However, ordinary people will not buy computers. First, the price is relatively expensive. In addition, the Internet speed is also very slow. The functions of computers are mainly used for office work, and there is not much demand for them at home.

Those who buy this thing now are families with small capital. They bought more in the past to train their children to understand this new thing.

Because today is Christmas, except for some necessary industries, most companies in Xiangjiang have been on vacation.

The same is true for many managers of the Xinjian Department. They naturally know a little about computers. In fact, when the lBM5150 is on the market, some people intend to buy one and keep it at home for themselves and their families to study and use.

It's just because I know that the Xinjian Department is also developing personal computers, so I resisted the desire to buy and waited for Huahong Computer to go on sale.

As a result, the main force of Xiangjiang Huahong computer sales today is the management and employees of the Xinjian Department. According to follow-up statistics, among the 2652 units sold by Xiangjiang that day, more than 1250 units were purchased by employees of the Xinjian Department, and 500 The rest of the units were purchased by the employees of Allies, and only more than [-] units were purchased by other Xiangjiang residents.

This is also in Xiangjiang. Huahong Group’s sales in other regions are not satisfactory. Although Huahong Computer has a graphical interface, its performance in other aspects is not better than that of IBM. In addition, IBM has been launched for nearly a year and is interested in computers. Those who can afford it have basically already bought it.

Although the launch of Huahong Computer has advantages in some aspects and the price is quite low, it did not cause a sales boom. Those who bought it did not plan to buy a new computer for a short time, and those who did not plan to buy it, even if the price of Huahong Computer was low. After spending nearly two thousand Hong Kong dollars, these people still have no intention of buying.

The launch of Rose Computer in England also encountered the embarrassment of Huahong Computer. Its sales in England are better, but it is not ideal in markets such as Germany, France, Italy, and the West. Rose Group still has a long way to go to dominate these markets. to go.

However, it is also good for the Xinjian Department. Whether it is the British or Brian government, or even the government of Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand, they have all announced their support for the installation of the Phoenix operating system and office software on government office computers.

I don’t know if it’s because of the influence of Li Jianhui’s butterfly effect. Japanese companies are also quite active in this life. The Phoenix operating system has not been favored by the Japanese government, and they have clearly told Wei Li in Japan that Sony is already developing its own operating system in Japan. Toshiba will also enter the personal computer industry.

In this life, Microsoft's desire to dominate the world in the PC operating system is probably completely out of the question. Even England advised Li Jianhui that the headquarters of the Phoenix Group should be moved to London, or it would be better to cooperate with Grosvenor, Cavendish, The Bout and other families established an operating system research and development enterprise in London. Once Xiangjiang returns in the future, it will be difficult for the Phoenix operating system to enter the Western European market.

Li Jianhui, who spent Christmas in Vancouver, was very unhappy when he received these reports. He sighed in his heart that it was too difficult to do business in his own right. There was trade protection everywhere, and the development of the Xinjian Department was restricted everywhere on the grounds of safety.

Chen Yulian, who was holding Li Zhipeng, looked at Li Jianhui and frowned, and said: "Jianhui, don't think about these things for now. It's rare to have nothing to do today. We happened to take Zhipeng to visit Vancouver, and we took a look at Huahong Computer and Rose Computer. For the sales situation here, you should also relax your tense nerves."

"It's fine to go out for a stroll. You know our situation. With so many security personnel following us, it's boring to go shopping. Besides, the weather outside is relatively cold today. I'm afraid the little guy who has lived in Xiangjiang for a long time may not be used to it. If you have a cold, it's hard. It's you.

I will stay with you and Zhipeng in the suite today, and I will not drink tea and play cards with Li Guobao and others. I will spend the day quietly today. "

Chen Yulian is not disappointed about this either, in fact it doesn't matter whether she goes shopping or not, she just wants Li Jianhui to be with her.

It's time for a holiday today, and the Xiangjiang business delegation will not hold talks with the Canadian business community until the morning after tomorrow.

Unlike in Los Angeles, this time the Hong Kong business community has a lot of cooperation with Canada. The Hong Kong Energy Group intends to take a stake in Husky Energy, and Lane Crawford and Watsons also intend to enter the Canadian market.

At the same time, Tesco Group will also cooperate with many Canadian farmers to acquire soybeans, wheat and other products, including the farm owned by the son of Yao Zhilin, former chairman of the board of directors of Amoy Group.

As for the sales of Huahong Computer and Rose Computer here, Li Jianhui doesn't have too much expectation. After all, this is the home of American companies, and even Asia and Western Europe are not satisfactory, let alone Canada.

As for the large-scale price war, Li Jianhui has no such idea for the time being. After all, the current computer market is not big, and the cost is not cheap. It is easy to lower the price, but it is not easy to raise it again.

Moreover, IBM has never relied on the manufacture of personal computers to have this market value of more than 5150 billion US dollars. To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter if the IBM[-] is sold at a loss. A price war with such a company is a big deal for Huahong and Rose. Saying it doesn't do much good.

Regardless of whether it is Huahong Computer or Rose Computer, the focus of these two companies is different from that of IBM and Wang An Computer. Huahong Rose's focus is on personal home computers and personal office computers.

The two major companies, IBM and Wang An, focus on large-scale computers used in research laboratories of large enterprises, such as supercomputers and computers used in industrial systems.

The personal computer that IBM made this time was actually an accident. The other party’s focus has never been here. This is why after entering the 21st century, IBM is not very well-known in terms of personal computers. Instead, it is its descendants HP, Dell, and Apple. And so become a world-renowned brand.

As for Wang An Company, because of the center of gravity, it went bankrupt in the 90s, and Wang An Computer disappeared from the public eye.
