"How's Penguin doing?" Tang Feng changed the topic.
"It is currently developing in an orderly manner. However, because the anti-virus software launched by Penguin is free, it has been criticized by many paid software companies. They openly said that Penguin is breaking the rules! And if it is free, it will not only ruin the entire anti-virus software
Industry, there is no benefit." Ma Teng replied.
"They know a thing! In the Internet age, traffic is the most important thing. Believe me, it won't be long before these anti-virus software will also be free. When watching a person's words and deeds, don't look at what he says, but look at what he does.
What?" Tang Feng said lightly.
"When they make it free, I'm afraid the situation will be decided." Ma Teng said with a smile.
"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and said: "Although the Internet industry is different from other industries, it is still similar in nature. It just provides virtual products. In the end, each Internet industry has a market segment
, there will only be one or two companies left. In other words, in the end, only one or two anti-virus software companies will be left. If there is only one, then it must be Penguin."
"Mr. Tang, how big do you think the anti-virus software market will be in the future?" Ma Teng asked with interest.
"What can I tell you! If anti-virus software is installed on every computer, there will be at least one billion units. Of course, I am talking about the domestic market. With Penguin's technical strength, it will definitely enter the overseas market.
The final scale should be between 3 billion and 4 billion." Tang Feng answered.
"Three to four billion? Is that much?" Ma Teng was very surprised when he heard this number.
"Not much! There are now 6 billion people in the world! And this number is still increasing! It is expected that by around 2020, the population will increase to 7 billion." Tang Feng responded.
"In overseas markets, is it also free?" Ma Teng asked.
"Yes!" Tang Feng nodded and said, "No matter what market you enter, it is free."
"With such a large number of users, even just advertising, we should be able to make a lot of money." Ma Teng's eyes were full of expectation.
"Don't think about this for now. The main thing now is to seize the market. There are still many competitors, especially some foreign anti-virus software companies, which are still very strong. Don't take it lightly." Tang Feng told the other party.
"I know. I just feel that the future of the Internet industry is so wonderful! This is a new era!" Ma Teng looked extremely excited.
"This is just the beginning. When we enter the mobile Internet era, the prospects will become even better." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Mobile Internet? What do you mean? Mobile phone?" Ma Teng guessed.
"Not only mobile phones, but also tablets, various wearable devices, and even various medical equipment, and even cars and airplanes. You can use your imagination as much as you want." Tang Feng responded.
"Mr. Tang, what you said is too science fiction! I feel that what you said may not be realized in the next fifty years." Ma Teng was deeply shocked.
"There is no use for fifty years. The Internet industry is developing very fast! Especially in China! You should also know that since 1999, China's university admission rate has been increasing dramatically. This year's college entrance examination,
A total of more than three million college students have been admitted. I believe there will definitely be more and more in the future. Such a large number of talents will definitely benefit not only the Internet industry, but also other industries. According to my inference, what I just mentioned
, it will definitely be realized within ten years." Tang Feng seemed confident.
"What? Ten years? Did you say it wrong?" Ma Teng couldn't believe his ears.
"No." Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I'm talking about ten years."
Ma Teng said nothing.
He really couldn't believe the time period Tang Feng mentioned.
Ten years have gone by in a blink of an eye, how could it develop so fast.
No matter how much talent is cultivated, research and development will still take time.
"Mr. Ma, if I tell you this now, I guess it will be difficult for you to understand. Time is the best proof. Let's wait ten years together to see if the world is what I imagined." Tang Feng smiled slightly,
said.
"If it could really be realized, how magical this world would be! Everyone is surrounded by various Internet devices, and we don't know what it will be like." Ma Teng couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't think about this. Our future is a sea of stars. What we have to do now is to do everything well in a down-to-earth manner." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"I will." Ma Teng nodded.
"In the next week, maybe two weeks, I will be very busy. I'm afraid I won't have time to come here. The operation and development of the company depends entirely on you." Tang Feng said.
"What are you going to do?" Ma Teng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Loongson One has been manufactured. Now the entire Loongson company has hundreds of R&D engineers. They will continue to develop Loongson Two. I am ready to develop the best computer memory in the world." Tang Feng replied.
"Computer memory? Is it necessary to research and develop this? If I remember correctly, last year or the year before last, the entire computer memory industry suffered massive losses, many companies went bankrupt, and the remaining few companies were struggling. Even if they occupied such a large
It has a large market share, but the profit margin is simply horribly low." Ma Teng expressed his opinion.
"The low profit margin now does not mean that the profit margin will be low in the future. When there are only one or two companies left in the market, then I believe that the pricing of computer memory will definitely change. By that time, no matter how high the price is,
These computer companies can only accept the order. Of course, the final payer is the user who buys the computer. Only by developing their own computer memory is the right way." Tang Feng said a lot in one breath.
"But now the profit margin is so low and R&D expenses are so high, how can we maintain the progress of the project?" Ma Teng was a little worried.
"The research and development costs will not be very high. The computer chips I was responsible for developing before cost less than 100 million in total. This time I estimate that 50 million should be about the same." Tang Feng replied.
"Mr. Tang, did I hear correctly? You said 100 million?" Ma Teng was shocked.
He now even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
When chatting with Tang Feng, the numbers that came up were far beyond imagination.
"That's right! It's indeed less than 100 million! To be precise, it's 96 million." Tang Feng replied.
"If word of such low R&D expenses were spread, I'm afraid no one would believe it. After all, the annual R&D expenses of those foreign computer chip companies are easily several billions, and they are still US dollars." When Ma Teng said this, he could not bear to believe it.
He couldn't help but shook his head.
"Maybe they have failed more often, so the R&D expenses have also increased. From the beginning to the end of R&D, we have basically succeeded once. In this case, the R&D expenses will naturally come down." Tang Feng guessed.
"Mr. Tang, I don't even know what to say. I believe that under your leadership, the price of computer memory will drop significantly soon." Ma Teng's words were full of confidence.
"The profit margin of computer memory is almost 5% now. When I completely localize computer memory, the cost will be reduced by at least half! By then, even if the price is cheaper, the profit margin will still be very considerable. We can definitely produce it on a large scale.
Export and seize the market share of Hanguo Company." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"It seems that the good days of the companies that produce computer memories in the cold country have come to an end," Ma Teng said.
"Not only computer memory, but also companies related to computer accessories will definitely lose a lot of market share." Tang Feng said.
"I hope this day will come as soon as possible. In this case, these domestic computer-related companies will definitely usher in great development." Ma Teng's eyes were full of expectation.
"At most half a year! Wait until next spring when the flowers bloom and the sun shines, it will definitely come true!" Tang Feng looked confident.
The two chatted for a while.
Ma Teng took Tang Feng to the technical department.
The employees in the technical department looked very excited when they saw Tang Feng!
After all, in the eyes of technicians like them, Tang Feng is simply a god-like existence!
They took this opportunity to ask Tang Feng for advice on some of the problems that troubled them.
Tang Feng answered them one by one very patiently.
When the problems raised by employees are solved, I feel even happier than winning the lottery.
Tang Feng also talked with them for a while, and then returned home.
Su Xiaoli, Ning Xiao and others have also finished their meeting.
"How are you discussing? Is everything settled?" Tang Feng asked with a smile on his face.
"We have almost discussed it. We will look for a suitable office location tomorrow." Su Xiaoli replied.
"It is best for the office to be close to home. In this case, it will be more convenient to go home." Tang Feng suggested.
"But the rents for nearby houses are very high. We have just started our business and there is no need to rent such a good house." Su Xiaoli responded.
"You are running an investment company, so your office must be located in a prosperous area. For the time being, you can find a suitable house to rent. Let me see if there is an entire building for sale nearby. If so, I will
Just buy it directly. Then I can use one of the floors for you to work in." Tang Feng expressed his thoughts.
"The price of the entire building will definitely not be cheap. It may cost several hundred million. Where do you come from with such a large amount of money?" Su Xiaoli was very curious.
"Loongson Company. Loongson One will be on sale soon. I believe we can make a lot of money in a short time. A few hundred million is nothing to me." Tang Feng smiled slightly and explained.
Ichiban.
"Tang Feng, why do I feel that making money is as easy as drinking water?" Ning Xiao's eyes were full of envy.
"Because I have powerful technology. To me, technology is a steady stream of wealth. As long as you concentrate on studying, I believe it won't be long before you will definitely become a billionaire." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Don't worry! We will definitely run the investment company well." Ning Xiao and others vowed to make a promise.
"Of course I believe in everyone's strength. I hope everyone will work together to invest in more good projects and earn more money." Tang Feng said with a smile.
