Chapter 518 I Also Have Technology

Feng Yu glanced at Liu Chuanzhi, and in his heart regarded Liu Chuanzhi as the younger brother of a local tycoon—a local turtle. I don't even know about assembly machines, but I still want to make microcomputers.

"In the future, there will be some shops that specialize in the spare parts of microcomputers, and then assemble them into a microcomputer. Do you think they don't need brands, advertising and other costs? Will the price be higher than what Lian wants to make? Low? And you can choose any configuration you want, avoiding the shortcomings of fixed configurations of branded phones." Feng Yu said with a smile.

This will not appear in large numbers until after the return of Xiangjiang, at least in China, it is basically absent. Feng Yu said it to scare Liu Chuanzhi and told Liu Chuanzhi that if you do microcomputers like that, you may not be able to make a lot of money.

Why did the microcomputer that I thought about in my previous life make a lot of money? One is that they have found a lot of foundries to reduce the cost of products. The second is that they use the banner of national brands, and the country is supporting them vigorously. For example, government agencies and other agencies can only buy Lianxiang products. microcomputer.

Other brands lacked such a group of big customers, and their sales fell sharply. Personal microcomputers were the first to start a price war, at least they didn't even think that there would be no such high tariffs. Coupled with the fact that Lianxiang's stores have opened to every county, not just surrounding the cities in the countryside, but fully blooming.

Lianxiang finally succeeded for a variety of reasons. Of course, Liu Chuanzhi didn't think so much at this time, he just felt that what Feng Yu said was reasonable, if someone really did that, it would definitely have a major impact on their product sales.

"But we still have technology, we can make some system software. And we understand the needs of Chinese people better, and we will definitely produce microcomputers with configurations that meet the requirements of Chinese people. Moreover, we are the first national microcomputer brand in China, and we will definitely occupy the domestic market. So I think our microcomputer products will bring huge profits to the company."

Unknowingly, according to Liu Chuanzhi, the profits brought by microcomputer products have changed from huge to huge, and his heart has also been shaken.

"You said you have technology? But is your technology comparable to foreign countries? I also have quite a few electronic engineers."

"Mr. Feng, you also have electronic engineers? You mean Jiang Wanmeng from Fengyu VCD?" Liu Chuanzhi asked.

"Boss Liu and Lao Jiang also know each other? But my electronic engineers are not just Lao Jiang and the others. The pager on President Liu's waist is Aihua brand, right? Coincidentally, the Aihua brand is also mine." Feng Yu Lean back on the sofa and raise your legs.

"Aihua brand? The Aihua brand that produces Walkmans, VCDs and pagers?" Liu Chuanzhi's eyes widened.

Aihua VCD has been competing with Fengyu VCD in the market, and people all over the country know this. But he never thought of these two brands. It turned out to be a big boss!

But what does this have to do with their company? Electronic engineers are also divided in detail. Electronic engineers who make music players and communication products are fundamentally different from those who make microcomputers.

"Mr. Feng, even if the Aihua brand belongs to you, you have a lot of electronic engineers, but it doesn't mean you can produce microcomputers." Liu Chuanzhi insisted.

"Mr. Liu, what do you think of the storage capacity of the floppy disk?" Feng Yu suddenly changed the subject.

"The storage capacity of floppy disks? It has been improving. Now the standard is 1.44M floppy disks. But there are already double 2.88M floppy disks." In this regard, Liu Chuanzhi is of course very good at it.

1.44M,

Even if it is double the large capacity, it can only store simple files, not even a big game!

"Then Mr. Liu, what do you think about replacing the floppy drive on the computer with an optical drive?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.

"CD-ROM?"

"It's the CD-ROM drive, is Mr. Liu familiar?" Feng Yu asked.

The optical drive was born in 1991, but the optical drives at that time were very old. The speed is slow, and the price is outrageously expensive, and it is not available on general microcomputers.

Now on the computer. Floppy drives are generally configured, and Feng Yu is still in the electronic city of Xiangjiang. He has seen a microcomputer equipped with two floppy drives, that is, one is for reading 3.5-inch floppy disks, and the other is for reading 5.25-inch floppy disks that will be eliminated soon. .

But none of these can compare to the large capacity of 640M on the CD. If storing data, games, movies, etc., it is obviously more convenient to use a CD.

When CD-ROMs were launched in the world, Liu Chuanzhi naturally knew that the specifications of CD-ROMs were still stipulated by the Software Publishers Association. But the price of this optical drive is too high, and they don't have the relevant technology. It is definitely not suitable to use this on a microcomputer.

Wait, Feng Yu's brand produces CDs and VCDs, and the specifications of CDs and VCDs are the same as those used in microcomputers. What Feng Yu meant...they can produce optical drives?

If Feng Yu masters the optical drive technology, then this is a great opportunity for Lian Xiang. They can promote microcomputers with CD-ROM drives, and even install both floppy drives and CD-ROM drives on one host computer, and the grade will rise immediately.

"What does Mr. Feng mean, you have mastered the optical drive technology?" Liu Chuanzhi asked eagerly.

Feng Yu nodded, and asked a little proudly: "Is this technology difficult? The transfer rate of traditional optical drives is 150KB/S, and the new standard now implemented is 300KB/S. We can currently produce 300KB/S Optical drives. This technology, I can use to invest in it, and it also includes some engineers who develop this type of technology.”

The reason Yagyu Hajime wanted to enter the PC field was that when he was developing the CD player, he developed this technology by the way. This is also the reason why Yagyu Hajime believes that the production of PCs is actually very simple. He believes that with optical drives, higher-end personal PCs can be launched, thereby occupying the high-end market.

But Feng Yu is very clear that floppy disk storage is the mainstream now, whether it is a notebook or a desktop computer, and most of the files are stored on floppy disks.

Just like Feng Yu's "Across the Seven Seas" game, every time you pass a level, you have to reinsert a floppy disk, or even two floppy disks, which is very troublesome. If you have an optical drive, a game is only tens of megabytes, and you can easily handle it on one disc, and even several games can be stored on one disc.

On the market, there are indeed games stored on CDs, and this is the trend. But it will take three to five years before CD-ROM drives really replace floppy drives. Now rushing to produce PCs with only optical drives will end in failure!

However, Feng Yu did not discourage Liu Shengzhao's enthusiasm. He told Liu Shengzhao that this part of the business should be independent~ and continue to develop optical drives with higher transmission rates. Only optical drives are enough. As for the PC project, it is absolutely no. At least in the island country, it is temporarily impossible to defeat so many big companies.

This is not a Walkman. After all, AIWA's Walkman brand is itself a well-known product in the Walkman field. In the end, Feng Yu convinced Liu Shengzhao, but Liu Shengzhao did not intend to continue to research and develop CD-ROM drives, but instead to research and develop CD player technology. Feng Yu happened to have a reason to buy all the optical drive technology, and he was not willing to give Liu Shengzhao the money!

"Mr. Feng, I think I have to report to the leader. I'm waiting for two days. Can we contact again?" Liu Chuanzhi wanted to reconsider Feng Yu's shareholding. Investing in technology is very different from investing in capital.

Feng Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course, but don't make me wait too long." (To be continued.)
