    Boss Du felt a little angry when he heard this, but felt that what these customers said was indeed somewhat reasonable.

    The performance of carbon crystal hard drives is much higher than that of traditional mechanical hard drives. Even if the retail version is more expensive than mechanical hard drives of the same specification, it must be much more cost-effective to buy carbon crystal hard drives.

    Boss Du asked: "Then how much do you think the mechanical hard drive should be sold for?"

    "The price should be at least half cheaper!"

    It is half cheaper, that is, an 80g hard drive needs to buy four to five hundred yuan to meet the needs of consumers.

    How can this be?  !

    Boss Du's purchase price is more than that.

    At present, Xia Country has not yet fully joined the WTO. The reason why the price of the hard disk is expensive is that in addition to the original cost, the bulk of the sales price is due to tariffs.

    To put it more bluntly, Boss Du can earn more than 100 yuan at most for an 80g mechanical hard drive.

    Boss Du was about to get angry, but after thinking about it, he felt that what the consumers said was indeed reasonable.

    Carbon crystal hard drives will definitely dominate the future market. Since everyone can buy carbon crystal hard drives at almost the same price, why buy mechanical hard drives?

    Now everyone in the industry knows that carbon crystal hard drives will definitely be mass-produced in the future, and will not always be out of stock.

    Now I have millions of mechanical hard drives in my hands, but I can't sell them now, and it will be more difficult to sell them in the future.

    Boss Du has been able to work in the computer hardware industry for so many years, and he has been able to make his own business worth millions. He not only has his own skills, but also has the acumen of the industry.

    Boss Du made a decisive decision and sold the price of the mechanical hard drive in his hand at a 40 to 30% discount.

    More than 1,000 80g hard drives were sold by Boss Du for 700 yuan.

    Selling at this price, Boss Du must be in a blood loss.

    But there are also benefits to selling at this price.

    At least Boss Du can get back his investment in a very short period of time, ensuring that the capital chain will not be broken.

    Using this money to buy Shenzhou computers or carbon crystal hard drives will definitely make up for the shortage of mechanical hard drives.

    And with Boss Du's judgment, he knew very clearly that if he didn't grasp the window period of insufficient production of carbon crystal hard drives, he would hurry up and sell the mechanical hard drives.

    When the production of carbon crystal hard drives is sufficient in the future, mechanical hard drives will be even harder to sell.

    Boss Du's self-help method really saved himself.

    However, he did not expect that this trick of his would have caused a chain reaction in the entire Huaqiangbei and even the global hard disk market.

    First of all, Huaqiangbei, because Boss Du is a big hard drive owner, he has mechanical hard drives worth millions.

    These mechanical hard drives are all sold at a 40% to 30% discount, which has greatly affected the hard drive market in Huaqiangbei.

    Many consumers and retailers saw that the machine hard disk in the hands of Boss Du is so cheap!  Then I must go to Boss Du to get the goods.

    As soon as other wholesalers heard the news, coupled with the news of the mass production of carbon crystal hard drives, it has spread throughout the market.

    Everyone panicked, very afraid that the machine video disk in stock would fall into their hands.

    Everyone has an idea in their hearts, if you can't sell it now, then you will definitely not be able to sell it in the future.

    Or it can be sold in the future, but the price is lower than the current one.

    What are the measures taken by these wholesalers?

    Of course, like Boss Du, he sold it at a crazy price reduction.

    The sales price of mechanical hard drives has fallen in a way.

    Based on Boss Du's 30% discount, the final actual sales price was even lower than the 30% discount.

    The price collapse of the entire Huaqiangbei mechanical hard disk led to a drop in the price of mechanical hard disks in the entire Xiaguo IT market.

    The main reason for this situation is not the imbalance between supply and demand.

    Instead, everyone in Huaqiangbei purchases or sells mechanical hard drives, and it is not for selling to consumers, and there is an element of hype in it.

    In the past, everyone was optimistic about the development of Xiaguo's computer market, thinking that the number of users would increase, and the price of mechanical hard drives would increase.

    Now that such logic has disappeared, the hype is of course skyrocketing and plummeting, which is the same as the situation of everyone hyping graphics cards more than 20 years later.

    The middleman who originally planned to import mechanical hard drives from Seagate Western Digital and other American mechanical hard drive manufacturers hesitated.

    They began to put pressure on upstream merchants to lower prices.

    Seagate and Western Digital and other American productsThe card is slightly affected by Xia Guo, and it is a huge profit in the first place.

    After all, the sales price of hard drives in the United States and Japan is more than double that of Xia Guo.

    These manufacturers are also very optimistic about the development of Xia Guo's it market. After all, Xia Guo has 1.2 billion people, even if only 10 people will buy computers, there are still 120 million computers.

    In this way, there will be 120 million hard drives that need to be sold, and this is not counting the purchase of hard drives after replacing computers in a few years.

    Seagate, Western Digital and other manufacturers were shocked by the chain reaction in the Xiaguo market.

    It was hard for them to imagine that Xia Guo's carbon crystal hard drive had such a profound impact on their business.

    Seagate's top executives held a meeting overnight, and not only got the report from Stanford University's semiconductor laboratory some time ago, but also got the hard drive sales data during this period.

    From a macro perspective, the sales of hard drives in the Xia country market have not changed much.

    But looking at the details, it will be a matter of time before carbon crystal hard drives replace mechanical hard drives.

    As the world's largest hard drive manufacturer, Seagate has taken immediate measures in response to the current situation.

    The first one is to reduce one's own profits in the country of Xia in order to keep the market.

    Seagate's vision is very vicious, and he can be sure that the current price cut in the form of hard disk collapse in the Xiaguo market is just a short-term panic.

    After a period of time, the price of the hard disk will definitely stabilize in a certain range, but it will definitely be lower than the current price.

    Therefore, Seagate took the initiative to cut prices and give more profits to sellers, so as to compete with carbon crystal hard drives.

    If the configuration is the same, the price of Seagate is 100 yuan cheaper than the carbon crystal hard drive. Consumers will hesitate, so how about 200 yuan cheaper?

    The second thing is to connect with the American Association for Computing Machinery as soon as possible.

    The birth of carbon crystal storage carbon crystal hard drives will hit the entire IT industry in the United States. Seagate believes that related industries and companies should have certain countermeasures.

    The third thing is to innovate technology as soon as possible.

    Either catch up with carbon crystal hard drives as soon as possible, so that they can also produce carbon crystal hard drives.

    Either update the technology of mechanical hard drives as soon as possible, and release 120g, 240g or even larger mechanical hard drives as soon as possible, so as to seize the market.

    The most important thing is to complete technological innovation as soon as possible in order to regain the market and establish its dominant position in the market

    In Jiangzhou, Zhang Bo received a call from a classmate.

    Xie Linna has already settled in the United States, and this time she is on a business trip to Jiangzhou, she took the initiative to call Zhang Bo and asked Zhang Bo to have dinner.
