The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 99 Wouldn’t it be nice to make it yourself? 【Please order in full】

Zhang Zhipeng nodded, of course he knew that the current domestic computer market prices remained high.

Programmers need work computers with very high configuration requirements, and high-performance computers are almost astronomically priced nowadays. One hundred thousand yuan per computer is considered a fair and reasonable price.

If calculated based on the purchase of 1,000 units, 100 million yuan would be needed.

Now Loongson Company has indeed made some money, but this money is not Zhang Zhipeng's own.

It is not up to him alone to decide how to spend it.

What's more, he didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Nowadays, Loongson Company has actually conquered all the most important hardware needed for computers.

The functions are slightly better than the best hardware in the world.

So, why not start by producing a batch of computers yourself?

As for things like monitors and chassis, it can be produced by finding factories outside after clearly explaining the process design requirements.

As for the operating system, the pirated version of win3.2 can also be used today. The worst thing you can do is modify it yourself!

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "We don't outsource computers. We produce a batch of computers ourselves. Isn't it just a problem of Loongson Company working overtime?"

"If we produce it ourselves, the cost of a computer will only be one or two thousand at most. Why should we be taken advantage of by others?"

Zhao Min nodded and said, "You are right."

"I also think computers are really ridiculously expensive now."

"I had previously spread the word that I was going to purchase a batch of high-performance computers, and several manufacturers from the capital came over to discuss it."

"The asking prices for each one are ridiculously high. The top-end computers are priced at more than 12 each. Even if we wholesale more than units, the profit for each unit will be less than at most. It's incredible."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Really? Which brand of salesperson have been here?"

Zhao Min said: "IBM, Apple, HP, Great Wall, and Xinxiang have all been here."

"Currently, the business manager of a certain business, Huang Daming, is still in our 618 factory."

Xuexiang is still a state-owned brand and has not yet been privatized through inexplicable means. Naturally, it has not yet claimed to be an international company.

Its salesmen are also the most powerful, and their public relations capabilities are very strong. This allows it to take a huge advantage in the administrative centralized procurement. It quickly overwhelms Great Wall Computer and becomes the best-selling computer in the country.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "What's the price you want to charge?"

Zhao Min said: "It is priced at 12 per unit, so this is a friendly price."

"But its price is indeed the lowest among these manufacturers."

Zhang Zhipeng sighed and said: "This is what will happen if you don't control the core technology..."

"If you don't have this technology, then the other party will try their best to raise the price of its key products until most of the profits are taken away, leaving you only a hard-earned money."

Zhao Min said: "Then I will reject him now and let him go."

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Let him go!"

"Domestic computer prices must be significantly suppressed!"

"When the computers we produce are launched in the future, the cheapest one will be priced at 4888 yuan. We will strive to make computers affordable for ordinary people. This will be of great benefit to us in popularizing computers!"

Zhao Min was surprised: "4888? Isn't this a bit too low?"

“Would it give people the idea that it’s cheap but not good?”

Zhang Zhipeng said: "As long as the stuff is really good, we have nothing to fear!"

"Actually, after mass production, the cost of each computer will not exceed 1,000 yuan. The reason why the price is high now is because the production volume has not increased yet!"

Zhao Min nodded and said: "You are right! Small profits but quick turnover can also allow the company to make enough money."

In fact, in China now, the annual sales volume of domestic computer companies hardly exceeds 100,000 units, and some sell 30,000 to 50,000 units a year.

Even if the price is high, the sales volume is actually very limited. If it sells for 7 or 8 billion, it is considered a super big company.

It's really ridiculous.

Zhao Min left to send some business manager Huang Daming away.

Zhang Zhipeng started designing chassis and monitors in the office.

He didn't know how many times he had dismantled these things.

Just design it casually, draw a process design, and then entrust someone outside to produce it.

If possible, Zhang Zhipeng feels that it is more economical and more cost-effective to produce these two items by ourselves.

However, although these two are simple, they both require the establishment of special production lines and the purchase of special equipment.

I'm afraid I won't be able to do it myself in a short time.

Therefore, Zhang Zhipeng decided to hand over the order to an outside factory for production.

You can leave the monitor to the TV factory. As for the chassis, leave it to 618 Factory. They can also make it.

At present, China's domestic TV production capacity has begun to explode, and TV prices have been driven down.

Therefore, the cost of leaving it to TV manufacturers to produce monitors should not be too high.

Zhang Zhipeng quickly drew his process design drawing. After he completed the drawing, he began to check to see if there were any improvements.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

The knock on the door was quite soft.

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Come in!"

The door was pushed open and a strange man walked in.

After the man walked in, he smiled and nodded to Zhang Zhipeng, and then carefully closed the door.

Zhang Zhipeng frowned. He was convinced that this person was not from Loongson Company or Factory 618.

Although he couldn't recognize everyone from 618 Factory and Loongson Company, he had an impression after meeting them once.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang! I am Huang Daming, the business manager of a certain company. This is my business card. I have taken the liberty to bother you because I want you to have a deeper understanding of our products."

Huang Daming handed over a business card, Zhang Zhipeng accepted it with a smile and said lightly: "Have a seat!"

Huang Daming sat down.

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Didn't Mr. Zhao already tell you?"

"We are already preparing to obtain goods from other channels."

Zhang Zhipeng did not let Zhao Min tell Huang Daming that they were going to give birth.

Huang Daming smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, I wonder which product you have chosen?"

"What's their price? Can you reveal this?"

Zhang Zhipeng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you'll be shocked if I tell you the price, so I'd better not say it."

Huang Daming said: "As long as their quotation is really honest, we can reduce it by another 5% on the basis of the price they gave!"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Moreover, we can give Mr. Zhang another 5% of the benefits..."

I rely on...

Zhang Zhipeng couldn't help but say something rude in his heart!

He has been in this era for nearly two years, and this is the first time he has heard of someone giving benefits so blatantly.

He felt a little bit tired in his heart.

He said calmly: "I am also the major shareholder and actual controller of this company. What you just said made me feel very uncomfortable."

Huang Daming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He understood that he had been a little too hasty this time, and others didn't even notice the benefits he gave. He thought to himself, it’s really strange that this company is so large and not state-owned?

How is this possible?

In his imagination, Zhang Zhipeng should just be a cadre of a state-owned enterprise.

And it is very likely that he is a second generation.

Otherwise, how could he sit in such a high position at such a young age?

Huang Daming hurriedly made amends. He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang is indeed an honest man. I did not misjudge you."

"Do you think this is possible? Within my maximum scope of authority, I can also reduce our price by ten percent on the basis of the other party's profit!"

Huang Daming wanted to win this super big deal, so he had to do his best.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "The other party's quotation is 4500 yuan per computer."

"Are you sure you can give another 15% profit?"

Huang Daming was shocked when he heard the price.

He cried: "No way!"

"Mr. Zhang, no one can give you this price!"

"The configuration your company provides costs more than 9 yuan!"

"We are actually just making a little bit of hard-earned money."

Of course Huang Daming's words are also false, and the cost is not as high as more than 9.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it."

"So, we will definitely not be able to cooperate this time."

“How about this ends today’s conversation?”

Huang Daming felt that Zhang Zhipeng was deceiving him. He still refused to give up: "Can you tell me which company quoted you this price?"

"It can't be Great Wall, right? The cheapest mid-range computer from Great Wall costs more than 20,000 yuan..."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Don't guess, I won't tell you about this channel."

"I have other things to do, so I won't chat with Manager Huang."

Huang Daming had no choice but to get up and leave angrily.

Watching Huang Daming leave, Zhang Zhipeng shook his head. In fact, at this moment, Hexiang could not be considered a comprador enterprise.

Because there are still technology experts like Teacher Ni Guangnan.

The Hanka invented by Teacher Ni Guangnan is actually a very good product in this era.

If it hadn't been for Ni Guangnan being squeezed out, maybe XXX would have wanted to take another path, and maybe it would truly become a national enterprise.

well! What a pity.

In the next two days, Zhang Zhipeng first contacted a TV manufacturer in Chang'an City, hoping to get the other party to help him produce CRT monitors.

This TV manufacturer is called Huanghe TV Factory, and it is an old TV manufacturer.

Because a senior official from Qin Province came forward, after the negotiation, the other party readily agreed to help Loongson produce CRT monitors according to Zhang Zhipeng's design.

The principle of this CRT monitor is actually almost the same as that of a CRT TV.

Of course, monitors have higher requirements than TVs and require more detailed images.

The classic CRT picture tube uses an electron gun to emit high-speed electrons. The deflection angle of the high-speed electrons is controlled by vertical and horizontal deflection coils. Finally, the high-speed electrons hit the phosphorescent material on the screen to make it emit light. The power of the electron beam is adjusted by voltage, and the result is Light spots of different light and dark colors are formed on the screen to form various patterns and text.

Zhang Zhipeng has made certain improvements to the picture tube technology, which can make the display image clearer and more stable.

This is actually an improvement on traditional CRT TVs.

Cai Maocheng, the director of Huanghe TV Factory, was shocked after seeing Zhang Zhipeng's technical improvement. He thought it was a genius idea and asked if his factory could use this improved technology.

Zhang Zhipeng naturally agreed happily.

This is just a small technology, not to mention, even for this technology, he will ask someone to register a patent.

It doesn't hurt to let Huanghe TV Factory use it.

He also hopes to have a long-term cooperation with Huanghe TV Factory.

After the display manufacturer was settled, Zhang Zhipeng talked to Lin Zijian, the director of Factory 618, about asking him to help produce the chassis.

Factory 618 is now doing a very prosperous business, producing several types of products.

But Loongson Company is undoubtedly his big customer.

Zhang Zhipeng was regarded as his benefactor.

Lin Zijian looked at the chassis design drawing provided by Zhang Zhipeng and said, "Comrade Zhipeng, the workers in our factory can make this thing with their eyes closed! I guarantee that it will be the best for you."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "If you make it beautiful and of high quality, after we start producing computers in the future, we can leave the chassis to you to make the accessories!"

"I promise, this can still give you a good profit margin!"

Lin Zijian smiled and said: "Comrade Zhipeng, in my eyes, you are a god now!"

"If it weren't for you, how could Factory 618 be where it is today?"

"Just rest assured, I promise to do the best with high quality and quantity!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded: "After our computer is built, I will treat you to a drink to celebrate! Maotai can build it as you like, how about it?!"

Lin Zijian said: "I feel a little embarrassed when you say that."

"You give us work to make our factory better and better. How can I ask you to hire me?"

"I'll treat you to a drink! However, I'm relatively poor and can only afford to drink from the west wind. Don't you mind that?"

Zhang Zhipeng laughed and said: "As long as the friendship is deep, I will be happy even if I drink cold water! Haha!"

After finding the manufacturers of the monitor and the chassis, it's actually just some bits and pieces like cables, data cables, and the like.

Zhang Zhipeng also asked people to negotiate with the manufacturers one by one.

After taking care of these hardware facilities, the CPU, memory modules, motherboards, and hard drives, all of these are handled by Loongson itself.

This requires opening additional production lines and workshops.

The current factory buildings of Loongson Company are obviously not enough.

Now, Factory 618 actually needs to expand its production scale.

Zhang Zhipeng was thinking that he should get a large piece of land in Chang'an City as soon as possible and start building his new industrial park as soon as possible.

The new industrial park shall cover an area of ​​no less than 2,000 acres.

However, before that, he still had to modify win3.2 first so that it could adapt to run on Loongson computers.

He took the lead in this modification and selected a group of relatively talented programmers to help him with the work.

After more than twenty days of intense work, Zhang Zhipeng finally led his team to modify win3.2 so that it can smoothly adapt to the Dragon architecture.

After the results came out, Zhao Min, Liu Chaoyuan, Tian Hongtao and others came to experience it.

After everyone took turns to experience it, they all said: This version of win3.2 is really easy to use, and it is much better than their original software.

Zhao Min smiled and said: "I think, isn't this a domestic operating system?"

"If you use it directly on our Loongson computer, there should be no problem, right?"

Zhang Zhipeng shook his head and smiled: "How can that be done? When Microsoft sees it in the future, you are infringing on my copyright! What if they sue us?"
