Chapter 181 Lower the price of the computer to below 2000! (1
"Brother Feng, congratulations!" Su Xiaoli came to Tang Feng holding a bouquet of flowers that had been prepared.
"Thank you!" Tang Feng took the flowers and hugged her into his arms.
There was thunderous applause!
The applause lasted for almost ten minutes before it stopped!
"Thank you for your hard work! To celebrate the successful completion of this project, I'm going to treat you all to dinner! In addition, I'll give each person a red envelope worth 5,000 yuan!" Tang Feng shouted generously!
You know, this is 2003, and five thousand yuan is not a small amount for ordinary office workers.
Especially for these doctoral students who have not yet joined the workforce, it is a huge sum.
Everyone couldn't help but cheer!
Not only can they successfully complete their doctoral thesis, but they can also make money!
Such good things are really hard to find even with a lantern.
Tang Feng had already sent someone to book a banquet hall at a nearby hotel.
After all, with so many people dining at the same time, a private room is definitely not possible.
Wang Yuanchao, Jiang Guangming and others were also invited.
Soon, everyone arrived at the hotel.
Tang Feng, Wang Yuanchao and others were at the same table.
Other doctoral students participating in the project also took their seats in order according to the list on the table.
After everyone sat down, Tang Feng stood up and said a few opening remarks.
He first thanked everyone who supported the project.
In particular, I would like to thank Su Xiaoli who is sitting next to me.
During this period of time, Su Xiaoli had been busy with him and took care of him extremely carefully, which really moved him very much.
After listening to his heartfelt words, Su Xiaoli's face turned red as hell.
But I was extremely happy in my heart.
After Tang Feng finished his opening remarks, Wang Yuanchao and others also said a few words.
Then start eating.
"Tang Feng, are you going to hold a product launch conference?" Wang Yuanchao asked while eating.
"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and said, "But I'm going to wait a few days until the first batch of products are produced, and then I will sign a contract directly with the computer manufacturer while holding a product launch conference."
"How much does this computer memory cost?" Jiang Guangming asked with interest.
"I can't say that for now. Anyway, it will definitely be much cheaper than similar competing products." Tang Feng replied.
"It seems that the overall selling price of computers will be reduced a lot this time. The spring of the computer industry has arrived." Yang Lei couldn't help but sigh.
"Computers will soon become a necessity for ordinary people, just like household appliances such as TVs and refrigerators. Of course, there is still a long way to go before all families across the country have computers. However,
, I believe that as the price of computers continues to decrease, computers will definitely enter thousands of households." Tang Feng seemed confident.
"It seems that Huaguo Telecom and Huaguo Netcom also need to seize the time to carry out their layout. Otherwise, it will be a big problem for ordinary people to just buy computers and not be able to access the Internet." Jiang Guangming said.
"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and said: "And the current Internet speed is far behind that of foreign countries. I plan to find time to go to Pengcheng and talk to the boss of Warwick Company.
Let’s talk and see if we can cooperate at the technical level. In this case, we can promote the rapid upgrade of network communication equipment, allowing ordinary people to use faster and cheaper networks.”
"Warwick Company has developed rapidly in recent years. However, compared with foreign communication equipment giants, the gap is still quite large. If you can provide technical support, then for Warwick Company, it will be even more powerful." Wang Yuanchao
smiled.
"No matter what, wait until I go to Pengcheng to meet Mr. Ren first," Tang Feng said.
"Come! Let's toast to the success of the computer memory project!" Yang Lei took the initiative to stand up with the wine glass in his hand.
Tang Feng and others also stood up.
After everyone clinked their glasses, everyone drank it down!
When the doctoral students around saw this scene, they were filled with envy!
Their eyes are full of envy!
I don’t know when they will become physics department bosses like Wang Yuanchao and Jiang Guangming.
Of course, they only admired Tang Feng.
Because they knew very well that Tang Feng was a peerless genius who only appeared once in thousands of years!
Even if they spend their entire lives working hard, they still won't be able to achieve what Tang Feng has achieved now!
You know, Tang Feng is a freshman in the Department of Mathematics at Beijing University!
They have achieved such high achievements at such a young age. If it were them, their tails would have been raised to the sky!
For Tang Feng, in addition to admiration, they only have expectations.
They look forward to Tang Feng making more research results, thereby raising the level of China's physics community!
When that time comes, they will definitely follow suit!
This meal lasted for two hours.
After finishing the meal, Tang Feng said goodbye to Wang Yuanchao and others, and took Su Xiaoli back home.
Maybe it was because he hadn't been back for half a month. Tang Feng looked at the plants and trees in the yard, which seemed a little unfamiliar.
But he adapted quickly.
He sat down on the sofa in the living room.
After a while, Su Ming, Ning Xiao and others appeared in front of him.
"Boss, I haven't seen you for half a month. You look a lot haggard." Su Ming said while looking at Tang Feng.
"Really? I think my condition is not bad. But it's been really hard during this period." Tang Feng responded.
"Xiaoli, I've missed you so much for such a long time!" Ning Xiao stepped forward and gave her a big hug.
"I miss you too. But fortunately, I can still send you a text message on weekdays and chat for a while." Su Xiaoli said with a smile.
"Boss, how is it? Has the project been completed successfully?" Zhang Hao asked impatiently.
"It has successfully passed the rigorous test. If nothing unexpected happens, mass production can be achieved within a week." Tang Feng replied.
"That's really great! Boss, you are really awesome!" Zhang Hao couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Okay! Stop flattering me here! Wait for me to rest for a while, and I will cook and entertain you myself in the evening." Tang Feng took the initiative.
"No!" Su Xiaoli quickly stopped her and said, "You have been busy for so many days and you must have a good rest for a few days. I will cook the dinner for you!"
"We can also help." Ning Xiao and others quickly said.
"I haven't been back for such a long time, and I don't have much food at home. While you guys are chatting here, I'll go to a nearby supermarket with Ning Xiao and the others." After Su Xiaoli finished speaking, she took them away from here.
"Be careful on the road!" Tang Feng told the other party.
Su Xiaoli didn't look back, she just made an OK gesture.
"Zihang, how is the situation of the treasure hunting website recently?" Tang Feng asked with a smile on his face.
"How should I put it? The momentum of development is still very good. But now Yiqu.com has noticed us, so it has increased its advertising efforts. And it is said that the parent company of Yiqu.com, which is Yibei Company of Beautiful Country,
We are ready to invest one billion in Yiqu.com and strive to gain more market share in the shortest possible time." Zhu Zihang replied.
"Money is not everything. But since the other party chose to advertise, I guess Lifeng Network Company must have made a lot of money. After all, uu chat software has so many Internet users, the other party will definitely not let it go.
." Tang Feng said.
"You're right! When I met with Mr. Ma two days ago, we talked about this. He even expressed his apology to me," Zhu Zihang said.
"It's normal that everyone has different interests. But you don't have to worry, the return on investment in advertising is not high now. Yiqu.com may not be able to add many new users after spending so much money.
And in terms of user experience, Pickup.com is even better." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"That's true. After all, you created Baobao.com. Yiqu.com can't even imitate it. As long as users have experienced our Baobao.com, it will be difficult for them to go to Yiqu.com again. It is precisely because of this,
Many employees don’t understand why Jianbao.com doesn’t adopt a charging model? In this case, it can be profitable from now on,” said Zhu Zihang.
"The charging model is very unfriendly to many users. If we adopt a charging model now, what will we do if another shopping website comes out and offers it for free?" Tang Feng asked.
"We will act accordingly when the time comes." Zhu Zihang replied.
"What you said is quite simple. When the ship turned around in a disaster, do you know how those big companies went bankrupt? It was because their original burdens were too heavy and they invested too much money, so when faced with a choice, they had no way to immediately
Make a decision. After all, once you switch from a paid model to a free model, profits will definitely decline in a short period of time! And it is very likely that you will change from the first in the industry to the second or even third in the industry! Therefore, we must
Block competitors from the beginning! Directly raise the bar for this industry! Free may seem like a low bar, but it is actually the highest! After all, no matter what kind of competitor, if they want to enter this industry, they have to pay.
A painful price." Tang Feng said a lot in one breath.
"That's true. We are already free. Even if the other party wants to follow the same path as us, I'm afraid it won't work." Zhu Zihang nodded.
"Don't always think about huge profits. No matter what kind of industry you are in, if you always think about huge profits, it is destined to be difficult to survive for a long time. If you want to be a century-old company, the first thing you need to abandon is the idea of huge profits. As long as you maintain a small amount of stability in an industry
The profits accumulated over time are also a very considerable figure." Tang Feng said seriously.
"The idea of huge profits is indeed something every entrepreneur has. After all, everyone doesn't have much capital. If you want to accumulate capital as quickly as possible, you must make huge profits." Zhu Zihang sighed.
"Now is the Internet era, and entrepreneurs' thinking must change. Anyway, that's my thinking. Maintaining long-term and stable low profits is the most important thing. The money earned can be continuously invested in research and development.
, don’t always want to put it in your pocket." Tang Feng said with a smile.
Zhu Zihang nodded.
"Boss, I have to say that your thinking is really advanced. However, it is not surprising for a genius like you to have such thinking. I think it won't be long before the price of computers will come down." Su Ming said.
.
"The price of computers has dropped a lot now. When the mass production of computer memories is completed, the price will drop further. Of course, if you want to reduce the price of computers to the lowest, you must fully complete localization." Tang Feng said.
.
"According to your prediction, what will the final selling price of a computer with mainstream configurations on the market be?" Zhang Hao asked with interest.
"Within 2,000 yuan." Tang Feng replied.
"Ah?" Su Ming and the others were shocked when they heard the price!
After all, a computer now costs between five and six thousand!
If the price can really be reduced to less than 2,000, it will be acceptable to many families.
"Boss, this price is too cruel! If it really drops to less than 2,000, I estimate that half of the college students across the country will buy a computer of their own." Zhu Zihang said.
"2,000 yuan, even in my hometown, is almost two months' salary. If it can be so cheap, many parents will buy it for their children," Su Ming said.
"Definitely! I remember many years ago, we spent a lot of money to install fixed-line telephones in our homes. Now with the popularity of mobile phones, many families have canceled fixed-line telephones. If the price of computers can be reduced, it will certainly be possible.
Soon it will enter thousands of households." Zhang Hao said.
"Desktop computers are just the beginning. When the localization of desktop computers is completed, I will let the existing team carry out the research and development of laptop computers. At that time, when everyone goes out, they can just take their laptops with them, whether they are studying or working.
Very convenient." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Boss, you are really ambitious! It seems that it won't be long before I can buy a laptop." Su Ming suddenly became excited.
"My ambitions go far beyond that. I hope that China can reach the world's leading level in many fields as soon as possible! I believe that the vast majority of Chinese people will benefit from it." Tang Feng's eyes were full of hope.
.
"Boss, your situation is really big! Anyway, I will follow you all my life! I also want to live a different life! I want to honor my ancestors and make my family proud of me!" Zhu Zihang's emotions were also moved by Tang Feng.
Got up.
"Me too!" Su Ming and Zhang Hao shouted in unison.
"As long as you do a good job in picking up treasures, you will be able to honor your ancestors! When you make money, you can go back to your hometown to invest and do charity! I believe the people in your hometown will be proud of you!" Tang Feng said to Zhu Zihang
.
"You two, the most important task now is to study down-to-earth! If you have any ideas, please tell me at any time. I will provide you with the greatest help within the scope of my ability!" Tang Feng directed at Su Ming.
Said to Zhang Hao.
"We will definitely work hard!" The three of them nodded in unison.
At this time, Su Xiaoli and others came back from the supermarket.
"What are you talking about? Why do you feel like you've been injected with chicken blood?" Su Xiaoli asked with a smile.
"We are talking about the future." Tang Feng replied.
"No wonder. When we were on the road just now, we also had a lot of thoughts about the future. We can hope to make the investment company the largest in the world!" Su Xiaoli said.
"The biggest is not enough, you have to be the best." Ning Xiao added.
"It's easier said than done! My suggestion is that the four of you are in charge of different investment sectors. In this way, you can become more professional when investing. If you do it all in one pot, there is a high probability that something will happen.
Big mistake." Tang Feng reminded them.
"We think so too." Su Xiaoli nodded and said, "We will achieve the ultimate in professionalism."
"Let's go cook first! We'll eat in a while!" Yu Li suggested.
The group went to the kitchen.
Tang Feng and others were not idle either.
They tidied up the entire villa, inside and out.
After all, I haven't been back here for half a month, so I really need a good cleaning.
