Chapter 1462 Examination and Education

"Mr. Liu, our second order for netbooks has been completed, but there are still many messages on the Internet asking us to continue producing such cheap netbooks. Should we continue?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a happy face. . For more latest chapters visit: ШЩЩ.⑦⑨.сОМ.

If the super sales of netbooks can continue to be maintained this year, then the champion of production and sales in the PC market this year will be Lianxiang Group!

Last year, the global PC sales were just over 200 million units. Among them, Huipu, Dai Er, Lianxiang, IBM, and Asus ranked in the top five, followed by Fruit, Dongzhi, Sixing, Suoni, Songxia, Acer, etc. brand.

The sales volume of Huipu and Dai Er are not too much, and the lead is only a few million units.

Now even want to rely on one netbook to increase the sales of one million units in a single quarter, coupled with the normal growth of other products, it is not impossible to achieve a counterattack this year, from the third in the world to the first in the world!

What's more, is this netbook's sales likely to continue to grow?

Yang Yuanqing is very excited about this. He is very confident in this goal and full of expectations.

He is the vice president in charge of Lianxiang's PC business. In the past two years, it has been rumored that Liu Chuanzhi wants to give up the position of president, so he and the vice president in charge of servers are most likely to be in the position.

The server has not even entered the top five in the global ranking, it is only ranked sixth, and the PC may become the first, which is better and which is worse, you can tell at a glance, right?

What's more, the overall profit of the PC business is also higher than that of the server. PC is also the most powerful business in Lianxiang. He is far from the top, and the only difference is a feat that no one else can match!

Now, this feat has been sent to the 'door', and it is very likely to be realized. Even if you fail, you can take a step forward and become the second in the world, right? To become the world's number one next year, just in time to take over.

In fact, he still has a very strong competitor, that is Qiu Bojun of Lianxiang Yinshan, but Qiu Bojun has made it clear that he will not compete for the position of president of Lianxiang Group, which makes him remove his biggest competitor. Otherwise, with the strength of Lianxiang Yinshan at this time, he might not be the opponent of Qiu Bojun.

Liu Chuanzhi looked at the excited Yang Yuanqing and said with a smile, "Yuanqing, sit down, let's talk."

Liu Chuanzhi got up and sat on the sofa in the office with Yang Yuanqing. This Yang Yuanqing was indeed his favorite successor, and neither the Academy of Sciences nor Taihua Holdings opposed it.

Originally, he was hesitating between Qiu Bojun and Yang Yuanqing, but Qiu Bojun said that he was not interested in hardware, so he did not plan to compete for the position of president of Lianxiang Group, so the only person Liu Chuanzhi wanted to inspect was Yang Yuanqing.

"Yuanqing, the sales of netbooks are indeed beyond our expectations, but have you noticed that the profit of netbooks is the lowest, less than 8% before tax, and our other products, before tax Profits are more than 10%. This means that although this product sells well, it does not make a lot of money.”

Liu Chuanzhi began to teach Yang Yuanqing his experience. He really planned to give up the position of President of Lianxiang Group within a year or two. In a few years, he would also give up the position of Chairman of Lianxiang Group, so he could feel at ease. Enjoy retirement.

As for whether he can really live a retirement life, he doesn't know, but even if he wants to retire, he will retire when he even wants to be the number one in the world!

"And you didn't find out, now all major PC manufacturers have started to develop netbooks, which can be seen from the orders of AMD and Eagle Weida. After they all launch netbooks, the profits of this netbook will be further reduced. "

"Although we are the first to make netbooks, they have brand and market advantages, and they may not be able to suppress us in turn. And our biggest advantage is price. But their output is also very large, although our labor costs seem to be Cheaper, but once they are in volume, the cost is not necessarily higher than ours.

"

"Although the positioning of netbooks is different from that of ordinary notebook computers, it still seizes the market of some notebook computers. Some people who originally wanted to buy notebook computers, although they were only used for surfing the Internet, watching movies, etc., but at that time they did not have access to The choice is to buy a higher price.”

"But now, when they have a choice, they will buy cheaper ones. While we have opened up a new channel, it has also affected the sales of our original products. For the time being, the impact is not very big, but it will get bigger and bigger in the future. ."

"In other words, the popularity of this netbook is based on the premise of harming our own interests. This market will become smaller and smaller, and where will we go?"

Yang Yuanqing looked at Liu Chuanzhi and knew that this was a test for him. He thought about it and replied seriously: "First of all, I think the most important thing for us right now is to become the number one in the world. The benefits of being the first and second for the company. Very big, let alone compared to the third."

"One more thing, we can increase the volume to reduce our cost. Now our netbook profit is not as good as that of ordinary laptops, that's because we have invested too much money in publicity, and now we are famous. , the investment in publicity will be less and less, which means that our profits will increase.”

"The sales of our netbooks will indeed have an impact on the sales of our other models of notebook computers and even desktop computers, but the impact is not too great. The service life of netbooks is not very long. It's almost a year behind."

"This backwardness is not only because our products' performance is lagging behind, but also because the software and other development speed are getting faster and faster, so the software's requirements for hardware will become higher and higher. It can be said that the software will eliminate these netbooks."

"I think the desktop market will become smaller and smaller in the future, and notebooks will become the first choice for personal entertainment and corporate office work, so it is good for us to ensure that our research and development on desktop computers is at the forefront of the world, but for notebook research and development, we must ensure that The world's leading!"

"Now the sales of notebooks are gradually increasing, and the sales of PCs as a whole will increase in the next two years. But in two years, some PCs will be eliminated, and they will become our repeat customers. The population is growing, the market is expanding, new The demand for PCs has always existed, so I don’t think the market will get smaller and smaller, but I think the PC business will enter a stable period from a period of rapid development, and will remain stable for a long time!”

A smile appeared on Liu Chuanzhi's face, and Yang Yuanqing's answer made him very satisfied. He also discussed this issue with Feng Yu, and everyone's ideas were basically the same as Yang Yuanqing's.

"Very good, then I agree, continue to sell this netbook, or set at one million units, while supplies last. After other manufacturers launch netbooks, our new products should also be successful!"
