This question completely baffled Meng Wei.
Why are Ruyang's chips so cheap? You'd have to ask their boss, Su Wu.
Seeing that the other party was relentless and he was blocked by a group of reporters and couldn't leave, he simply gritted his teeth and made a decision.
“Okay, we do lose money in some areas. After all, giving away freebies and raffles are all unprofitable; we’ve already given away 100 million in that area.”
He's telling the absolute truth; they really are losing money in this area.
But for them, this is equivalent to advertising, which is a cost.
Upon hearing this, the reporter immediately shouted excitedly, "Did everyone hear that? Huahua Chao has lost at least 100 million yuan. Now everyone has some juicy material!"
Having received the information they wanted, the group of reporters scattered in a flurry, their faces beaming with excitement.
Meng Wei was completely dumbfounded as he watched them scatter like birds and beasts.
He seems to have failed to complete the task Su Wu assigned him.
Su Wu wanted him to take this opportunity to promote Ruyang Electronics Technology.
As a result, these reporters completely missed the point.
However, both he and Su Wu overlooked one problem.
Even if Ruyang has the production capacity of 130-nanometer chips, those companies do not have the relevant technology available.
Their R&D technology focuses primarily on software, not hardware, which is why they can't reduce costs.
To put it bluntly, the domestic computer market and the mobile phone market are pretty much the same right now.
Everyone imports the parts and then assembles them themselves, as long as they are compatible and stable.
Of course, there are some technological applications involved, but they are all minor, peripheral aspects.
That's why domestically produced computers are facing the same severe market pressure as domestically produced mobile phones.
Ultimately, it comes down to being dependent on others for key technologies.
Therefore, even if Yang Electronics Technology has production capabilities, it doesn't mean much to domestic manufacturers.
This is the technological generation gap.
Unless Su Wu is willing to sell all of Huachao computer parts, Ruyang Electronics Technology will remain unwanted.
But what's the point of doing this? Are we just letting others pirate their Huachao computers?
The interview with Meng Wei was released quickly.
Many onlookers immediately jumped out, gloating.
"See? China is bound to lose."
"One hundred million? That's an understatement, I'd say at least one billion!"
"Meng Wei can even tell jokes about domestically produced chips; he's really out of options."
"They recently acquired a bunch of messes for 3 billion yuan. Are they planning to lose billions and then beg for food?"
"Friends who want to buy Huachao computers, be careful. This company may go bankrupt at any time, and then there will be no after-sales service."
"Am I the only one who thinks that Huachao is preparing for an IPO?"
Amidst countless scornful murmurs, a voice suddenly emerged, catching everyone's attention.
Yes, Huachao Computers is not yet on the market.
Isn't their elaborate efforts to expand and improve performance all for the purpose of going public?
This guy's planning to fleece investors in the stock market.
At this moment, everyone seemed to see through Hua Chao's purpose and watched with bated breath.
Su Wu felt a chill run down his spine as he watched Meng Wei's interview video and the comments below.
What kind of outrageous and wild language is this? Don't let your imagination run wild.
To be honest, nobody believes you; they just think the worst.
Go public? Go public my ass.
It will never go public in this lifetime.
Su Wu's future goal is to go international and defeat the United States.
He will not give the United States any chance to restrict him.
Since they're all willing to make wild guesses, let them guess.
Whether Huachao can continue operating or not, only time will tell.
A week later, Meng Wei called him anxiously.
"Boss, something bad has happened! Our sales have been affected, dropping by 5%. Should we clarify this?"
"It's only 5%, don't worry. Make sure to provide good after-sales service and don't let your guard down."
"What about our sales figures?"
"Don't worry, this is only temporary. The domestic mass market is all about value for money."
Su Wu believed that the negative news was bound to have some impact.
But with the quality and price of Huachao computers, who could refuse?
Compared to the domestic market, Su Wu was most concerned about the international market.
With the rampant spread of MYDOOM, the international version of Shi Gandang has become increasingly well-known.
Who wouldn't love such a user-friendly free antivirus software?
In just one month, the international version of Shigandang has reached an astonishing 10 million users worldwide.
Due to exchange rate fluctuations, Huachao computers are priced very affordably.
However, compared to the domestic market, laptops are selling better.
A standard Huachao laptop costs only $1,000 overseas.
This is a very low price even abroad.
This is at least several hundred dollars cheaper than similar computers.
The 10 million international users of Shi Gandang brought Su Wu nearly 800,000 laptop sales.
This was a situation that even Su Wu himself hadn't anticipated.
It's important to know that the profit margin for laptops is much higher than that for desktop computers.
$1,000 is roughly equivalent to 7,000 Dragon Coins. After deducting costs, Su Wu can earn about 3,000 yuan from just one laptop.
An order for 800,000 units is equivalent to a profit of 2.4 billion Dragon Coins, which is much more than what you would expect domestically.
These orders are almost keeping Suwu's production lines at home and abroad running at full capacity, but this is just the beginning.
The overseas market is just too tempting.
Su Wu had always believed that the domestic market was the largest consumer market, but he had fallen into a cognitive misconception.
Speaking in isolation, the domestic consumer market is indeed large enough, which is undeniable.
However, considering the current era, the domestic market's consumption capacity is still limited and is in a growth stage.
The domestic market is still far behind the international market, especially in the area of high-tech products.
This undoubtedly opened a door to a new world for Su Wu.
Given this, why is he still bothering with domestic ventures? Focusing on expanding into overseas markets is the right approach.
With this in mind, Su Wu decided to acquire a few more overseas PC companies.
He needs to achieve at least regional coverage, which will also make it easier to handle some after-sales issues.
Moreover, producing some non-core components locally is also a good way to increase production capacity.
However, the ambitious Su Wu immediately became worried.
He's broke right now.
Yes, he's out of money again.
This time, I really can't squeeze out a single bit.
This made Su Wu feel like he had taken too big a step and hurt himself.
But the food abroad is really delicious, you can't miss it.
Seeing countless established foreign companies about to fade from the historical stage, wouldn't he miss out if he didn't seize the opportunity soon?
This forced Su Wu to consider once again how to get some money to spend.
Perhaps this time he really is going to become an information broker.
