Chapter 1180 Lianxiang's Competitiveness

They didn't pay attention to these specific data before, but after looking at it, they realized that IBM is more than just competitive when compared with Lianxiang. If there is no shady, no unit bidding can win the bid!

Even if you think about an 8800 laptop computer, IBM's with the same performance parameters costs 23000. The price is not only twice that of the other party, how many stupid people will buy it.

Of course, this is a comparison with the Huaxia market. After all, Huaxia has local protection, and the tariffs are too high, which forced it to increase its retail price in a disguised form.

But in the United States, IBM’s notebooks sell for 2,000 US dollars, and Lenovo notebooks with the same performance only sell for 1,499 US dollars, which is still a quarter of the price difference. This is also because Lianxiang is an imported product. , The reason for the high shipping costs and customs duties.

The two of them calculated in their minds that the cost of a Lianxiang laptop must be less than a thousand dollars, while IBM's is more than 1,200 dollars. In terms of cost control, there is such a big gap between IBM and Lianxiang ?

Since Gerstner took office, IBM's cost control has improved a lot. For this reason, a large number of employees were laid off at the beginning. As a result, they, the pioneers, are not as good as China's latecomers!

No wonder last year, "Forbes" rated Lenovo Group as the fastest-growing PC manufacturer and marketer. It is leading the world in terms of cost control alone.

If it is only the reduction of labor costs, it seems that this cannot be achieved. There must be some other relatively low costs, such as their component costs.

Huaxia built the world's largest crystalline silicon factory, and it is said that in the future, it plans to occupy half of the world's crystalline silicon production capacity!

Although when this news broke out, many people's noses were almost crooked, not to mention that in terms of crystal silicon technology, Huaxia is in the lower middle reaches of the world, and this investment alone is not a small amount. And to occupy half of the world's production capacity, do they know how much it is?

Not to mention other neighboring island countries and treasure islands, they will be taught a lesson.

But when many people knew that this crystalline silicon was Feng Yu's main investment and that Philips and Kirilenko had shares, they suddenly felt that this matter was not impossible.

Feng sold his shares in Microsoft, so why invest so much money. Coupled with Philips and Kirilenko, funding is definitely not a problem, any of them has the ability to invest independently.

In terms of technology, Philips provided the most advanced improved technology from Siemens, and Kirilenko also provided part of Russia's secret technology. As for how he got it, Feng Yu didn't ask.

Thus,

Technically, there is no problem.

As for sales, it is simply a fantasy that Daoguo and Baodao want to encircle Feng Yu's company. The gate protected by Huaxia alone can keep them out. Other companies may not be able to match the upper-level politics, but Feng Yu, if you say that it has nothing to do with it, who will believe it!

Instead, they should be worried that in the future, with lower costs and higher efficiency, the Fengyu Crystal Silicon Factory will definitely suppress them so that they can't hold their heads up.

In the view of Guo Shina and Peng Mingsheng, it may be because of the commissioning of the crystalline silicon factory that the cost of Huaxia's electronic components has been reduced in disguise.

"Feng, your crystalline silicon factory in Huaxia has a good production capacity, right?" Guo Shina asked.

"It's okay. It's not finished yet. This is only the first phase." The construction and commissioning speed of the crystal silicon factory are progressing as scheduled according to Feng Yu's requirements.

If the speed is guaranteed now, it will definitely be able to occupy half of the world's production capacity, and then it will really be possible to control the price. Now it is too big all of a sudden, one is that the use of funds is not cost-effective, and the other is that it cannot be sold, and the consumption is not that big.

After a few years, the photovoltaic industry will rise. At that time, solar panels will be a good development direction. This Feng Yu has already mentioned it to Taihua Battery, let them set up a research and development project department for solar panels, and they will definitely get a big piece of this cake!

"Feng, Liu, I've read your document, and I'm curious, how did you reduce the cost? I mean, can it be reduced to this level?" Guo Shina couldn't help asking.

Liu Chuanzhi glanced at Feng Yu, saw Feng Yu nod, and said: "It's very simple, the main components are all produced by ourselves, or we have a cooperation agreement with us."

"Produce the main components yourself? What do you mean?"

"It goes without saying about the optical drive. Your IBM also uses Fengyu Electronics' optical drive technology, which implements the Fengyu-Philips standard. We use Yingweida for the graphics card. We have Yingweida's factory in Huaxia, and we get it. Yes, it is the lowest price in the industry. We produce the mouse and keyboard ourselves, and the price is very low. The technology of LCD monitors and Fengyu Electronics is also industry-leading, and the price given to us is also the lowest price in the industry.”

"The battery is Taihua battery, the lowest price in the industry. The hard drive is our cooperation with Fengfeng Electronics and Aihua Electronics. Of course, we are also the lowest price. The sound card is a cooperation with AIWA company. The sound is very good and the price is very cheap. The memory is Kingston's has a factory in China, and we have the lowest price..."

Guo Shina was stunned. How come almost everything about the computer is the lowest price in the industry. It seems that except for the motherboard, there is nothing wrong. And they have cooperated with Intel and AMD, and it is said that there will be lower-priced high-performance notebooks in the next step.

"Feng, Liu, I'm curious. You said that those hardware companies gave you the lowest prices in the industry. Why?" Guo Shina frowned, and IBM didn't get that kind of treatment.

"It's very simple, because our sales volume is the best, and it can help them expand their market share the most." Liu Chuanzhi replied.

In fact, Liu Chuanzhi knows the real reason, that is, those companies are all controlled by Feng Yu. With Feng Yu's help, they built factories in Huaxia one after another, or entrusted Huaxia OEM, which can not only reduce costs, but also help Lianxiang The Group strengthens its international competitiveness.

The leaders at the top also greatly appreciated Feng Yu's move, and praised Feng Yu as a national entrepreneur who never forgets the country.

Feng Yu wants Lianxiang Group to surpass IBM in the future, whether it is in PC, software, or services, and form a huge IT overlord. Correspondingly, these computer component manufacturing companies controlled by Fengyu can also become the overlord of this project!

Of course, Liu Chuanzhi knew about this plan. But he didn't expect that Feng Yu would act so quickly and invest in all computer-related enterprises.

Of course, Lianxiang has become more internationally competitive because of this. Originally, Lianxiang was world-leading in computer design, and the price was even more advantageous. The brand gradually became established.

Of course, the biggest gap between Lianxiang and IBM and other companies lies in patented technology. IBM and other companies can make huge profits every year just by relying on patent licensing. This is what Lianxiang is working hard to develop now.

Liu Chuanzhi's explanation obviously did not satisfy Guo Shina, but it is normal for others not to mention the commercial secrets of the other company.

It's just this cooperation condition, the two sides need to have a good discussion, even thinking about wanting to grab the sales of PCs in their hands, how is this possible? !

We are IBM, and we have always called the shots!
