In fact, before Xiangjiang and Li Xiaokai talked about Microsoft, Liu Shuangxi carefully considered the IT industry. Vigorously developing hardware is definitely the way to go. Computer core CPUs, graphics cards, memory, and hard drives are all good things. It is a pity that China will not be able to do so for a long time. To say it is unrealistic, the constraints of basic materials and processing technology cannot be solved by money and consciousness. Even though he seemed to have plenty of funds on hand, if he really had to plunge in hard, he wouldn't even get a splash.
After thinking about it clearly, Liu Shuangxi began to care about the software industry. Although he also did not understand the technical details, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running. The focus of the software industry is still on the word "creativity". Don't you know that thousands of people in the future will play Flash? Millions, there is only one person in China who can earn millions a month by stealing vegetables from a farm. After summarizing these ideas, he took advantage of the time when Microsoft needed funds the most and put forward the request to buy shares. With the help of the Xiangjiang Li family, the basic investment intention was almost finalized. As for why not consider starting from scratch in China? Let's not talk about the development of Microsoft founded by Gates. Just look at the current situation in Zhongguancun, known as China's Silicon Valley. There are more stalls selling electronic watches, jeans, and travel shoes than there are stores selling computers. [com]
"Shuangxi, do you want us to open a store and sell computers in a place like this?" Fu Xiaona pouted looking at such a dirty and messy environment. It's not that she was afraid of hardship and tiredness, otherwise she wouldn't have done it back then. Manjiao County is running around collecting eggs, but the current situation is actually somewhat different from that in the high-tech industry.
"Well, there's nothing interesting to see anyway. Let's go back and talk." Facing a few scattered small shops, Liu Shuangxi felt somewhat speechless. Just now, he told his two senior sisters on the road impassionedly that he would build the largest store in China here. For PC retail companies, it looks like the road ahead is still a bit long.
When she returned to Liu's house again, Fu Xiaona continued to complain: "The environment in Electronic Street is too bad. There is dirty water all over the street and there is no sewer. Let alone selling things there, no one is willing to even hang out there. Go there."
"Actually, Sister Na, we have seen quite well now. Chen Chunxian, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his partners just started a business in a dilapidated warehouse three years ago. Their Advanced Technology Development Service Department of the Plasma Society did not exist until the beginning of this year. It has received clear support from the chief ministers, and I believe it won¡¯t be long before Haidian District will take the initiative to solve problems for the new technology industry.¡±
Liu Shuangxi¡¯s words are well-founded. In his memory, the key point in the development of Zhongguancun is that at next year¡¯s Haidian Science and Technology Conference, ¡°relying on the progress of science and technology to develop new industries¡± was proposed for the first time as a strategic measure and goal for Haidian development.
"The environment almost doesn't matter. As long as there is policy support, it will be better than selling eggs before. It's like being a thief hiding here and there all day long." After walking around Zhongguancun, Fu Xiaoping felt that she had gained a lot. She has a lot of knowledge. She believes that her junior brother is right. As the times develop, China will definitely, like the United States, put high-tech computers into the homes of ordinary people.
Fu Xiaona thought about her sister's words and felt that they made sense. Originally, it was her idea to meet Liu Shuangxi today. No matter what suggestions others made, she would be satisfied as long as she could stop serving tea and water all day long. She said, "Let's talk about business." Well, let¡¯s just say that the IBM you have been looking at in the Double Jubilee just now retails for US$5,000 in the United States, and there are additional costs for shipping to the country. Can we afford such a large cost?¡±
According to Liu Shuangxi¡¯s original intention during this trip to Zhongguancun, he wanted to see if there was a better computer. After all, the Apple II he had was already a product several years ago. After seeing the configuration of IBM¡¯s new products this spring, he still couldn¡¯t mention it. interest of.
"Sister Na, the cost issue is easy to talk about, but there is something wrong with your calculation method. The retail price of IBM-XT is indeed very high. In fact, there is already a price increase from the distribution company. Let's look at its configuration, Intel's 8088 chip, A 10-megabyte hard drive, 128kram, a floppy drive, a monochrome monitor, a printer, and the ability to add an 8087 digital coprocessor are not the needs of all customers. Take chips for example, the 80286 was released in February last year. Its 20MHz clock frequency far exceeds 8088, and the two storage devices, floppy drive and hard disk, are not available to all users, so overall, this IBM-xt still has certain flaws,"
Fu Xiaoping said from the side: "I understand what you just said on the road, Shuangxi, that we purchase different accessories and then assemble them into computers ourselves to meet the needs of users, and ultimately form our own brand."
"Yes, that's what I mean. As you all saw just now, the computer as a whole is composed of a number of accessories, including CPU, RAM, monitors, storage devices, etc. The computer company we want to establish will be based on customer requirements. Flexibly manufacture computers and ship directly to customers. Of course, the company must understand customer needs most effectively and clearly during its operation.?Then respond as quickly as possible. The biggest advantage of this direct model is that it eliminates middlemen and reduces unnecessary costs and time. "
Fu Xiaoping digested Liu Shuangxi's point of view, and then discovered the key point. She asked: "Shuangxi, have you ever considered that we do not have suitable channels in China to purchase suitable computer equipment. Your idea is currently It can only be built on castles in the air.¡±
Liu Shuangxi replied with a smile: "I have just discovered these problems. The original plan was to set up a company in Zhongguancun, but the current domestic conditions are really difficult, so for better development I have a new idea, Sister Na, Sister Ping, how about arranging for you two to go to the United States to open a company first?"
Fu Xiaona was so surprised that she said, "You want us to go to the United States? Shuangxi, are you kidding me? We don't speak English, let alone computers. How can we sell computers?"
"It's definitely not a joke. As long as there is a corresponding language environment for English, I will make sure that you two learn it well within three months. As for not knowing computers, it is not a problem. When we sold eggs, we didn't ask anyone to learn how to lay eggs. Ah. Don¡¯t worry, Sister Na and Sister Ping, as long as you understand the categories and prices of computer accessories, and then follow the model I mentioned, you will definitely be able to open up the market in the United States."
When Liu Shuangxi said this, a young man named Michael Dell in the United States, thousands of miles away, sneezed several times and fell asleep. If he wanted to know about the cake that clearly belonged to him at this time, he would be plotted away immediately. , will definitely be awakened.
