The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 427 425.Speak with facts

  As soon as the press conference ended, Cao Yang was immediately surrounded by reporters.

"Mr. Cao, what do you think? Why did you think that the price of Micron mobile phones should be so low? At a price of 799 yuan, I can't imagine that there will be such a low-cost smartphone, and it was announced at the press conference just now. When I look at your demonstration, the effect of Micron smartphones is not bad. If the price is like this, Bomi will not lose money?"

   "Yes, yes, as far as we know, the production cost of smartphones cannot be so low, and there is no profit margin. Isn't Bomi selling mobile phones at a loss?"

   Cao Yang sighed and laughed, “That’s right, the reason why we produce such a micron smartphone is mainly because in 2007, BOE’s President Wang found me.

He told me at the time that Bomi is doing so well now, and smart phones have created a Chinese brand and promoted the Hongmeng system to the world. Why can’t you help domestic manufacturers and don’t always stare at the top supply chain? , We should also turn our attention to domestically. "

  Thinking of this, Cao Yang couldn't help laughing. The situation at that time is still vivid, as if it happened yesterday.

  Looking back now, it is really embarrassing.

  Sometimes history is just such a coincidence. It can only be said that Bomi met the right people at the right time and did the right thing.

"Actually, I think Mr. Wang made a lot of sense," Cao Yang told the media. "Our country actually has its own unique advantages in the field of technology. We have a large population and a vast land with abundant resources. China is the only whole production chain in the world. Country, so it has the title of [World Factory].

  Many foreign big-name products are produced in China, madeinchina, has become a common understanding of the world.

  The cost of raw materials can be kept to a minimum, and labor costs can be kept to a minimum. Even the welfare policies enjoyed are the best in the world. We have no reason not to adopt the domestic supply chain.

  Don’t look at the price of Micron phones so much lower than Bomi phones, but there is no reduction in product quality and performance.

  Because our mobile phone is produced using a nationally produced supply chain, the cost will be kept to a minimum. As for how much, please forgive me for not being able to disclose it easily. This is a commercial secret. "

   "But, I can guarantee that even if we sell 799, we still have a profit, it's just a matter of making more and less."

   "In addition, as we all know, Bomi is an atypical [hardware manufacturer], please pay attention to the word "hardware" in quotation marks."

  Cao Yang's words made all the media friends at the scene amused.

  "Micron mobile phones definitely do not rely on hardware to make profits, but rely on other affiliated products to generate a lot of profits. The future development trend of the Internet is to a large extent toward the era of [Internet of Things].

  What is the Internet of Things?

Bill Gates mentioned the concept of the Internet of Things in his "Road to the Future" in 1995, which probably means that with the advancement of science and technology and the development of the times in the future, all objects can be intelligent, sense and interact, so that everything becomes Keep it simple. "

  In the past, the Internet of Things was called a sensor network in China. The Chinese Academy of Sciences started research on sensor networks as early as 1999, and has achieved some scientific research results and established some applicable sensor networks. In the same year, the International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networks held in the United States proposed that sensor networks are another development opportunity facing mankind in the next century.

  "The Internet of Things is an information carrier based on the Internet and traditional telecommunications networks. It allows all ordinary physical objects that can be independently addressed to form an interconnected network.

  The reason why Micron mobile phones can be sold so cheaply is because we use Micron mobile phones as a connector.

In the future, we will develop a series of products around Bomi’s smartphones. For example, the laptop we talked about at the press conference today is one of them, although we are still working hard to connect them to each other and research and develop suitable for mobile phones and computers. Hongmeng system, but I believe that the link between mobile phones and computers, mobile phones and furniture will become a reality in the near future.

  First, cheap is the characteristic of Micron mobile phones. But cheap does not mean low quality. Micron mobile phones are made with high configuration and low price, so as to attract a steady stream of users.

  Second, thanks to Bomi’s innovation in channels. The reason why Micron mobile phones are cheap is to reduce unnecessary costs through channel innovation.

  We have a wide range of online channels. As we all know, we have Bomi Mall and QQ Mall, and users can place orders on the company’s main order interface through direct online purchases.

At the same time, we have signed a cooperation agreement with JD.com. In the future, Bomi smart products will be sold directly in JD.com. JD.com itself has a broad user base and is a good platform. It can provide us with both packaging and logistics. Sell ​​mobile phones to save costs.

  Main line, cut off the middleman channel, making the cost of Micron mobile phones lower.

  Thirdly, Bomi’s business model is inseparable.

  Bomi is an Internet company, not a traditional mobile phone manufacturer. Traditional mobile phone manufacturers need profit, that is, sell the mobile phone at the ex-factory price plus a part of the price. This is the source of profit, and Bomi can sell it at the ex-factory price.

  Because of being an Internet company, every time a mobile phone is sold, you can get value-added business revenue in the future. Therefore, the price of Bomi will be relatively low, which is subsidizing users. "

  After Cao Yang said these words, the media reporters were startled, and then the expressions on their faces changed from shock to understanding, and from understanding back to shock.

   Boss Cao, this is a direct hit!

  The Internet of Things hasn't been written yet. Although there are related concepts, it is only on the theory. It will take a long time to really put into industrial production.

  Now Boss Cao has actually begun to make arrangements?

  This kind of idea and concept has to be admired.

  ……

After Cao Yang's press conference ended, not to mention the shock of the media reporters, even Bomi's own employees were shocked.

   Liu Qiang was frightened on the spot.

  He didn’t even know about the Internet of Things. Boss Cao was talking on the spot, which is completely different from the script.

  "Boss, are we really going to do the Internet of Things?"

  After the press conference, Liu Qiang closely followed Cao Yang's side and asked questioningly as he walked outside the venue.

  After the two people got in the car, Cao Yang lay down on the chair comfortably, and explained to Liu Qiang with a smile, "Of course it is to be done. It is just a matter of time.

  It’s a stunt to say it now, and it’s used to seize the market on the offensive of public opinion. "

   "Huh?" Liu Qiang was not very understanding.

"The Internet of Things is expected to mature for many years, but it is indeed a big trend in the future. Even if I don’t say it, other companies will rush to do it. As long as it is a company with money, vision and technology, Come grab this market.

  It’s just that the technology hasn’t started yet, so everyone didn’t think about it.

  I said it in advance, which is equivalent to announcing in advance that Bomi will be doing things related to the Internet of things, giving them a pressure. If a company wants to run away in advance, it can just explore the way for us and be a vanguard or something. "

   "Uh..." Liu Qiang thought to himself, as expected, Boss Cao is really black.

  But in Cao Yang's philosophy, it is another matter. Someone enters this field earlier, which means that our country's technology can lead the world one step earlier.

  And no matter who goes first, Cao Yang is confident that they will come from behind, because they have the accumulation, the technology, and the Hongmeng system.

   "Let's do it step by step," Cao Yang said.

  In the realization of the Internet of Things, there are mainly several aspects of technology.

  Radio frequency identification technology, MEMS, M2M system framework and cloud computing, artificial intelligence.

  Now the first few technologies are nothing new, but there is still a certain amount of time before they become mature.

  For example, when Bomi is doing game action for motion capture, it will use radio frequency identification technology and sensor recognition technology, these things are constantly improving.

  The more accurate the recognition, the easier it is to handle.

  The Internet of Things has not yet developed, such as smart speakers, smart refrigerators, sweeping robots...These are mainly limited by the latter two, namely cloud computing and artificial intelligence technology.

  However, these are all within the scope of Bomi's research and development. In the future, artificial intelligence and cloud computing technology will reach the level of application. If you don't do the Internet of Things, it will be too wasteful.

  Since Boss Cao has a plan in mind, Liu Qiang naturally feels relieved.

  He now feels more and more deeply that Boss Cao is simply a god, and this vision and foresight cannot be achieved by ordinary people.

  So they only need to attack step by step according to the blueprint planned by Cao Yang.

  In the field of technology research and development, Liu Qiang is still very confident.

  ……

  The next day, following media reports, related news about Bomi's autumn product launch immediately became the headlines of the day and was put on the first page by countless news media.

   Weibo and Bowen ranked first in the hot search list.

  Netizens exploded when they saw related videos and news.

   "Fuck! What? I'm not mistaken, am I right? Bomi is actually going to produce personal laptops? Fuck! This one is even more amazing. The cheapest Micron smartphone is actually only 799 yuan?!

  What does Boss Cao think? "

"I suddenly felt that the Nokia in my hand was no longer useful. It turned out that I still felt that such a Nokia that was not steamed, cooked, smashed, and chewed could be used until I was 80 years old. Now, when I see that Micron mobile phones are only sold for 799, I think they can really be replaced."

  "Mom! 799 yuan, boss Cao is trying to kill Nokia and Motorola!"

"Well, at this price, there is basically no profit margin for smartphones. If you want to make counterfeit phones, you can't do it. You can refer to Nokia's previous strategy in the Chinese market, which is to reduce prices and suppress counterfeit phones. .

  I think it won’t be long before the mobile phone market will be unified and become the world of Bomi. "

"It should not be enough. I gave my Bomi smartphone to my grandmother before, and she said that I can't use it. Nokia is more suitable for her. The font is large, and it only needs to answer the phone. Elderly people don’t need other functions. Nokia's quality is still good, which should not be comparable to smartphones."

   "Hahahaha, it's really incomparable, Bomi is so good, can't Micron phones be used to smash walnuts?"

  "I read the news and said that the reason why Boss Cao sells Micron mobile phones so cheap is mainly because he doesn't make money from it. The main task of Micron mobile phones is to open the market and rely on it to connect to other products.

  It’s just that I haven’t understood the concept of the Internet of Things as Mr. Cao said. "

   "Boss Cao is really far-sighted. It turns out that when we were still wondering whether we could make money, people had already thought so much."

  "Internet of Things, you can imagine that all the furniture in your home can be connected to the Internet, and then connected through a smart phone, but I don’t understand the specific parts. These technologies are invented and really have a sci-fi feeling.

  It's as if the era of robots is not far away from us. "

   "Wow, if one day we can enjoy robot services, it would be really cool, right?"

  "Come on, Bomi! Support you! Can we have a girlfriend of a beautiful robot depends on you!"

  ……

  This time Bomi’s autumn product launch event caused an uproar on the Internet. Of course, the most surprising thing is the pricing of Micron mobile phones, which made countless people sigh.

  The era of smart phones is coming.

  With the release of Micron mobile phones, the entire mobile phone industry will be severely impacted. Non-smart phones will be quickly eliminated from the market. Smart phones will become a universal product, just like the Nokia and Motorola that everyone uses now.

  The second shocking thing is that--

  Bomi has really launched the personal notebook computer business, and this time it actually took out all the prototypes.

Although Bomi said to make a personal laptop before, most people think that it will take at least a few years, and to be honest, there are so many brands of personal laptops in the world now, each with its own merits. It is difficult for Mi Company to enter this market.

  I didn’t expect that Bomi would hand over a perfect answer sheet that everyone hadn’t expected this time.

  G1.

  Bomi’s first notebook computer, named G1, is mainly cost-effective and has excellent performance. It is definitely the most cost-effective personal computer in the same price range.

  When this notebook picture was displayed on the Internet, it immediately made people’s eyes shine and won praise from many users.

  "Mom, Bomi is really a genius in process design. Regardless of performance and appearance, this G1 notebook is too good-looking, isn’t it?"

   "Yeah, it's amazing. I have never seen a laptop with such a beautiful design.

However, it is reasonable to think about it. After all, when people make smart phones, they have already crushed Apple in appearance. You must know that Apple has always been a company known for its industrial design. Compliment on the appearance of the Mi smart phone.

  Now they can make such a good-looking laptop is also expected. "

   "Lenovo Group is dangerous if you look at it this way."

   "Hahahaha, what's the matter, who makes Lenovo computers so expensive? Do you know? Lenovo's domestic price is actually more expensive than in the US, can you believe this?

  I don’t know how much profit there is in the middle, but now it happened to be rushed by Bomi, and directly pierced Lenovo’s window paper. They would dare to lower the price in the future?

  We will buy Bomi’s notebook without reducing the price. "

It stands to reason that Lenovo Group produces domestically. There are many foundry factories in China. The raw material and labor costs are very low, which can directly reduce the production cost of notebooks to the lowest level. Moreover, the number of domestic purchases is large, almost 1/3 of Chinese people. When using Lenovo computers, in this case, it is obvious that the domestic selling price should be cheaper.

  In fact, the opposite is true. It is precisely because of the support of so many people in China and the high profit margins that Lenovo Group will not cut prices, but sell more expensive domestically.

  Because of facing other competitors abroad, Lenovo will naturally fight a price war from a commercial point of view. The price of foreign notebooks will naturally drop, and it will also bring Lenovo more markets.

  This is really the death of Lenovo Group, so the decline in word-of-mouth is also deserved.

Once    broke out, the impression of Lenovo from countless people on the Internet fell to the bottom.

   "Anyway, I am going to support Bomi."

   "It is said that Lenovo is not having a good time now. People have cut off the mobile phone business."

  "It can only be said that it deserves it.

  It is difficult to do mobile phone business in China, but once you can stand out in the Chinese market, then you are probably competitive enough in the world.

  Bomi is a living example.

  Lenovo chooses to stay near and far, not enterprising, and does not know how to become bigger and stronger, but to embrace what **** the so-called well-known American companies.

  In the United States, apart from Apple, even Google can’t design a phone that really looks a little bit like. Even so, its core design team bought it from HTC at a high price, and it’s an Asian mobile phone team.

  From enterprise-centric to consumer-centric, this is an extremely obvious change in modern marketing, and Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have made this point incisively and vividly.

  For today's mobile phone manufacturers, what they need to do is not to answer "what kind of mobile phone can I make?" but to answer "what kind of mobile phone do consumers need?"

  Now that Bomi has taken a firm foothold, and then counterattacks the notebook computer market, I think Lenovo can really reflect on it. "

   "I hope that Bomi will be the winner this time. Let Lenovo's senior executives calm down and change their thinking and concepts. Don't always think about holding American thighs.

  You are a Chinese company, shouldn't you do something that Chinese companies do? "

At the end of 2008, Lenovo’s reputation had not collapsed. At most, some people gave some small comments. Everyone still agreed with Lenovo. They felt that this was a Chinese company and had high hopes for it. That’s why they hated iron. Steel, I hope it can wake up in time and return to the right path as soon as possible.

  ……

  For this, the media reporters also specially interviewed Liu Chuanzhi, the chairman of Lenovo Group.

   Mr. Liu, who is 70 years old, has to be blocked by reporters at home to ask questions, which is really distressing.

   "Mr. Liu, what do you think of the G1 laptop presented at Bomi's autumn product launch?"

"Lenovo Group has always maintained an open and inclusive attitude. I myself admire domestic young entrepreneurs very much. If Bomi really wants to enter the notebook computer market, I have nothing to object to. I must say congratulations. ."

  Liu Chuanzhi smiled and said, “If there is competition, there will be progress. I watched the relevant press conference video. G1 is really in accordance with Mr. Cao’s propaganda, so it should be a good product.

  I still appreciate the design. "

  "Mr. Liu, are you worried that Bomi’s notebooks will have an impact on Lenovo? What changes will happen to the notebook market in the future, can you tell us about it?"

"No one knows what will happen in the future, but Lenovo also has its own core competitiveness. We have the world's top supply chain. We are equivalent to letting the world design and manufacture products for Lenovo and bring together the power of all mankind to produce things. , You can imagine.

  Lenovo has its own core users and core markets. These are the results of our careful management for so many years.

  Lenovo’s current industry is very stable, and we can deal with all shocks. "

  ……

  In fact, Yanagawa felt extremely painful.

  Now Lenovo’s global business has fallen directly to the bottom with the outbreak of the financial crisis.

  They were forced to cut off the entire mobile phone department, while Lenovo is actively expanding into new national markets, all of which cost money.

  The more money is spent, the less money there is.

  This financial crisis has come at an untimely time.

   What makes him even more uncomfortable is that there is Bomi company stabbing a knife behind.

  It can be said that it is suffering from the enemy. Now Lenovo can recover from the decline, and it is still a problem to turn losses into profits next year.

   But Yanagawa Zhi thinks very clearly--

  The global PC business is shrinking. If Lenovo computers can’t be sold, can Bomi computers be sold?

  This is determined by the market.

  Moreover, many users have been habituated by major brands. Once they develop a habit, it is difficult to change.

  For example, Apple computer users love Apple for life and only buy Apple products.

  These are not what Bomi Computer can defeat by looking good.

  The impact of this global financial crisis is far-reaching, and it has not yet subsided. Who knows what will happen next year, maybe the market will collapse even more next year.

  So Yanagawa is not optimistic about Bomi’s computer business.

  ……

  The next day, the news media reported what Mr. Liu said intact, and added many eye-catching headlines:

  [Lenovo: Not afraid of Bomi’s challenge]

  【Lenovo: Bomi? It’s too early to challenge me]

  [Lenovo: Can Bomi’s laptop be sold next year is still a question mark]

  When I saw these titles, the little secretary's lungs were blown up.

   "So what does Mr. Liu mean by these words?" Zhuang Yurou frowned and said very dissatisfiedly, "He looks down on us too much, right?"

"calm down."

  Cao Yang smiled, "He said his, we go with us, we all speak with facts."

  You can still laugh at this?

  Zhuang Yurou rolled her eyes, really wondering what to say about Boss Cao.

  If the financial crisis does not pass next year, maybe it will really become what Yanagawa said, the personal notebook computer market is shrinking, and the notebooks produced by Bomi cannot be sold at all.

  ……
