The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 422 420. Is Boss Cao still a normal human?

  After the fermentation of this wave of Olympic Games, "Minecraft" sales have broken through the sky, becoming the sales peak of domestic games, and it has also become a miracle in the history of world games.

  In more than two months, the sales volume of "Minecraft" reached 120 million, and countless colleagues were so envious that their eyes were red.

   "Boss Cao is really a god, and he can think of such a powerful game that can be combined with the Olympic Games. This creativity and layout is simply...Looking at the world, which company can do this?"

   "Bomi Company has played a very good move."

  "This can only mean that they plan ahead. They have planned to make such a game, otherwise, where is there such a coincidence?"

   "Yes, from a far-sighted perspective, Boss Cao is terrifying, as if he is not a normal human being."

  "The richest man in the world, can he still be a normal human being?"

  ……

   "Boss Cao is really amazing, this design is simply amazing, it's really beautiful."

  At the same time, in the mobile device manufacturing department of Wuhan Bomi Company, people are enthusiastically discussing the new products developed by Bomi Company——

  Bomi’s first laptop.

This G series laptop is made of magnesium-aluminum alloy. It has a streamlined shape and comfortable touch and keyboard feel. From the appearance point of view, it is at least higher than the laptops on the market. A grade.

  G series notebooks have a variety of different configuration colors, the most classic is the silver gray that is currently on display. From the appearance, this notebook is simply a work of art.

  Furthermore, in accordance with Cao Yang's requirements, the first notebook computer developed by Bomi was made relatively thin, and it was processed in the most high-end way on many crafts and parts.

  The spare parts are compressed to the lightest and thinnest. This can be achieved mainly thanks to the previous Bomi’s smartphone research and development, thus establishing a supply chain for a series of micro-end products.

  Cao Yang was listening to Liu Qiang’s report in the conference room, and at the same time preparing for the upcoming autumn product launch of Bomi.

  This autumn product launch event should be the first time that Bomi has held an autumn press conference. It is mainly aimed at Bomi’s newly developed business on hardware, and does not include software content.

  Unless it is a very heavyweight software or software technology innovation, it will be put on the product launch conference for preaching.

  The company’s games will have another press conference to report to the public.

  Autumn conference is something that many hardware manufacturers do every year. For example, Apple holds spring and autumn conferences every year.

  The first purpose is to promote the company’s new products and prepare and promote sales in the coming year.

  The second is to keep the popularity high. Even if it may not be available for sale in the second year, some technology and content that have been completed midway will be displayed for display. It is also to let the world know what we are doing recently and what we will do in the future.

  Otherwise, with the development technology of major hardware manufacturers, how can it be possible to replace and update every year?

  Users have not changed so quickly.

  Although Apple advertises every year, the period of real technological change is about 5 years.

  At the same time, in order to allow the company to launch new products and new features every year, when new models come out, the final product will not be announced at the beginning, but the castrated version will be sold first, and then some will be added every year.

  Now Bomi is preparing for the autumn conference.

  This fall conference is not a castration version, squeezing toothpaste bit by bit, but there are really new things to be announced.

  One of the most interesting things is the [notebook business] that Cao Yang said last year.

   "We have prepared multiple series of different products." Liu Qiang said, "G series is a positioning game book, the graphics cards are relatively strong, the memory bit width is 128BIT, using Nvidia's 9600GSO."

  “The N series is aimed at entry-level applications, and the graphics card is an entry-level graphics card with a width of 64BIT.

  J series positioning business notebooks, the appearance is relatively convergent and low-key, and the configuration is also very modest. There is nothing outstanding mainly for working stability.

  B series are also business notebooks, but are low-end compared to J series, J series mostly use aluminum-magnesium alloy, and B series are plastic.

The   H series is positioned as a cost-effective family all-around notebook. It can be seen from the graphics card. The entry level is cheap.

The   L series are thin, portable, compact, and use AMD’s APU. "

  "This time we are focusing on G-series laptops." Liu Qiang said, "So they are equipped with relatively high-end CPUs, graphics cards, and memory.

  As a game notebook, we provide two different models of 13.3 inches and 15.4 inches. "

  Multi-series simultaneous design and development is an inevitable choice, but there will be a sequential process for completion, and now Liu Qiang is only showing a prototype.

   Generally speaking, except for the exterior design of the G-series notebooks, which are Bomi’s own, the rest are basically not their own.

  But in the current market, how many computer manufacturers have the ability to independently develop their own products?

  Lenovo Group is also doing assembly work.

  But the shape design alone is enough to make Bomi's personal notebook business stand out.

  Because even a person like Liu Qiang who doesn't know much about aesthetics, seeing the mold designed by Boss Cao feels so good at first sight.

   is almost n grades higher than the current notebook.

   Liu Qiang must not be able to design it himself.

  At the scene, Liu Qiang used the newly developed G series, which is also Bomi’s first assembled laptop, to demonstrate the game "God of War" for everyone.

  "God of War: Wukong", as a new generation of graphics card killer, as long as it is turned on to a high configuration, a computer with average performance will not fail.

  This is also considered to be quite well optimized by Bomi, otherwise it will be replaced with the same card of other games, and it will not have such high quality as "God of War".

  It is estimated that the physical effects of "God of War: Wukong" will start to get stuck.

  "However, the performance of notebook computers is definitely slightly worse than that of PCs at the same price." Liu Qiang said, "Moreover, our computer's fans have not been able to dissipate heat."

   "Then our biggest advantage is in appearance design and cost performance." Cao Yang said.

   "Hmm." Liu Qiang nodded.

  "How much does this G1 notebook cost now?" Cao Yang asked.

  Bomi’s naming of notebooks is not the same as the naming of notebooks on the market. According to Cao Yang’s idea, it is still a simple and easy-to-understand model.

  Otherwise, users just look at the relevant model and think that their heads are big.

  For example, the naming method of the previous Shenzhou computer is: size + graphics card + CPU architecture + graphics card architecture + CPU positioning + mold + storage solution.

   Take an example: Z7M-CU5NB.

  Ghosts know what this model machine means?

  It is hard to read and hard to remember, and in the process of buying, if you remember a letter or number incorrectly, the things you bought are completely different.

  If you want to buy Z7M-CU5NB but accidentally bought Z7-CU5NB or G7-CU5NB, it must be a different configuration product.

The naming rules of   smartphones are relatively simple. For example, the first-generation smartphones sold by Bomi are called Bomi 1, and the second-generation Bomi 2.

  Micron mobile phones, the first generation of Micron 1, the second generation of Micron 2, the configuration is different, just pay attention to the selection.

Notebook computers are also based on this set. The G series and GAME represent games. Bomi’s G1 is the company’s first-generation game book. However, if you subdivide it, users only need to check the relevant ones when buying. Don’t buy the wrong configuration information.

   looks similar in appearance.

  The biggest difference in this series lies in the size of the hard disk and the screen. The others are the same, so it will be much more convenient for users to purchase.

"We chose the world's top supply chain," Liu Qiang said, looking at the list in hand, "but because our market and business scale are relatively large, we can keep the price to the lowest level in the negotiation process, so the cost is better than Lenovo. The same level is lower, but not much lower.

  The CPU plus the graphics card are 1000 pieces together, and the solid-state hard disk 128G costs 360 yuan...If a mechanical hard disk is used, the same size can be half cheaper.

  According to the calculation of the highest configuration, the total cost of our G1 notebook 128G solid-state hard drive configuration adds up to almost 2060 yuan. "

Notebooks are similar to smartphones in this regard. The most expensive hardware is the CPU, the graphics card, and the hard drive. Among the remaining parts, the motherboard may be worth a bit of money. Now Bomi’s G1 notebook computer, the motherboard It is designed by myself, because it needs to match the notebook mold, so the cost is cheaper than the market.

The shell plus the motherboard together is about 300 yuan, the CPU plus the best notebook graphics card is 1,000 yuan, and the solid state drive depends on the user's choice, ranging from 360 yuan to 500 yuan, so the miscellaneous things are added together. There are nearly more than 2,000 yuan.

  If you add the subsequent packaging, transportation, operation and after-sales, the cost of each notebook is about 2500 yuan.

  Lenovo almost sells a gaming notebook with the same performance for more than 8,000 yuan.

  So the profit margin in the middle is still very large.

  Notebooks, to put it bluntly, the biggest seller is the brand, then the design, and finally the parts price.

  For consumers, the most valuable thing is design.

  So compared with a desktop computer, a desktop computer with the same performance may cost 2,600 yuan to assemble it, but it will cost more than 6,000 yuan when converted into a personal notebook.

  In addition to the portability of the notebook itself, in fact, most of what you buy is the value of this brand.

  Brand value is a comprehensive manifestation. It will naturally increase as more people are used. Moreover, after-sales service and related compensation are better than ordinary ones. This is why the brand sells more expensively.

In addition, it is very important for a notebook to have a high value. Many people buy a notebook computer and already have a default performance that is not as good as a desktop computer. Especially face-saving.

After the show, Cao Yang discussed pricing with Liu Qiang and the general manager of the operation department.

  The manager of the operations department suggested setting the price higher.

"As our company's first laptop, I think we should set the price higher so that it has a brand effect," said Zhong Wei, the operations manager. "On the one hand, users who buy laptops have already defaulted to laptops. The performance is not as good as the desktop computer, and what they buy is a face.

  The low price will make them lose [face]

  Not to mention the presence of China Computer in front, causing everyone to have a bad impression of cheap laptops. They think that cheap is not good. We sell them more expensively. Instead, they think that this thing is of high quality and conforms to the brand image of Bomi. "

"Um……"

   Cao Yang thought, "Yes, just follow your ideas."

  He used to think that he should find a balance between Lenovo and Shenzhou, cut in, and build the most cost-effective laptop, but after listening to the analysis of the operation manager, Cao Yang felt that he still made some sense.

  "Then let's set the price on the same level as Lenovo's personal notebooks, and we will sell the highest G1 gaming notebook at 7,999." Zhong Wei said.

   "Okay, my idea is like this," Cao Yang said, "We still have to make the most cost-effective product among the same products. If our price is on par with Lenovo, then at least our performance is better than them."

   "That must be." Liu Qiang said with a smile.

  "Then we came out of G2, and we pressed down the price of G1, just like a smartphone."

   "Good boss." Zhong Wei said with a smile.

  Already have a lot of sales experience, now everyone has a certain understanding of the domestic hardware market, so the discussion is faster.

The best-selling notebooks in China and the whole world are in the price range of 5,000 to 10,000 yuan. More than 10,000 are very high-end notebooks. Only a few wealthy people will buy this stuff. The market share is less than 3%.

  5,000 to 10,000 notebook computers account for about 70% of the market, and the rest are below 5,000.

  This is also easy to understand. If the price is lower, many people will choose desktop computers instead of laptops. Since there is a demand for laptops, they will have certain requirements on the price.

  Everyone discussed for a while, finalized the relevant details, and the laptop is over.

  In fact, Cao Yang is a bit hesitant to start e-commerce...

   "I am going to cooperate with JD." Cao Yang said.

   "Why not Taobao?"

   "Actually, they are almost the same." Cao Yang frowned.

   is not a good thing anyway.

  Neither Dongge nor Alima are good things, but it doesn’t mean they’re doing bad things.

   Excluding the management style of its own management and the nature of capitalist exploitation, the platform has brought a high level of development of domestic e-commerce business, brought convenience to people's online shopping, and also reduced the corresponding product cost to a minimum.

  So Cao Yang thinks it is still good to follow the e-commerce platform.

For manufacturers, the best way is to sell as much as they produce, and we can make as much as needed in the market. There will be no backlog or shortage of products, showing a state where supply and demand are offset, so that the production materials are reached. Maximize utilization.

   "We support JD. In fact, it should be a good thing for the Chinese people. As long as there is competition, it will not be monopolized by Taobao.

  Users place orders on the Internet, and then we manufacture and ship them according to their needs, while keeping prices and costs to a minimum.

   Earn higher profits. "

  Following Cao Yang’s explanation, everyone present fell into contemplation.

  "My idea is to start the direct ordering mode on the Internet first, and then we will cooperate with JD.com and take orders from it."

  Built-to-order Model, understand the unique needs of each customer, and subdivide products.

  It can immediately purchase materials from different suppliers after receiving the customer's personalized demand order, quickly transfer it to production, and then hand it over to the courier company for distribution and delivery.

  In the whole process, Bomi can ensure that the company’s actual material inventory is always kept at the lowest level, so that the price of the product is more competitive. The core lies in a series of rapid responses including procurement, production, and distribution.

   "Well, it's good. I support." Liu Qiang and Zhong Wei raised their hands in agreement.

  In fact, there is another advantage of shipping through the e-commerce platform, that is, it saves distribution and logistics costs, which will be shared by the platform.

  The corresponding profit rate will become higher.

  You can know this just by thinking about it with your toes.

  Maybe the notebook business will bring unexpected large-scale revenue to Bomi in the future.

"It would be great if the notebook could be provided to users for DIY on the network like a desktop computer." Cao Yang sighed and said, "For example, users can filter and combine them on the network according to some of the parts and models we provide, and then splice them together. From now on, we will quickly assemble and ship them. In that case, our laptops will surely sell well."

  In other words, the notebook business is in line with the desktop, and the user can choose the parts inside to assemble, especially the CPU motherboard and graphics card...

  But this way, the requirements for the manufacturers of spare parts are higher, and the requirements for the assembly of notebook computers are also higher, and the assembly needs to be simple.

   "This difficulty is a bit difficult for the current situation." Liu Qiang frowned and said, "Whether it is a DIY desktop or a laptop, they are used to taking up a lot of space, which is contrary to the portability of the laptop.

  In the DIY business, the larger the volume of a thing, the larger the volume, the higher the flexibility, and the easier it is to perform at one's level.

  But the notebook is getting thinner and thinner, and the size is getting smaller and smaller. It is really difficult to assemble things inside.

  The most important thing is that all parts must be produced independently. "

  Sometimes users find it troublesome and don’t want to DIY their laptops at all, so it is still a question whether it is necessary or not.

   "Hmm." Cao Yang nodded, "It's okay, take your time."

  ……
