"There are only three or four computer manufacturers in China, why are they picking on me?" Xing Baohua muttered to himself.
"Trying to force me, huh? I'll show you what a price-cutting tycoon really is. You want me to reveal my true colors and become a knock-off? Then I'll show you what the king of knock-offs really is!"
Xing Baohua is truly disgusting. If I didn't vent my anger, I would probably die from vomiting blood. I haven't felt this suffocated since I transmigrated here.
Filled with anger, he ignored everything else and went to the lab himself to set up a counterfeit.
Following the principles of knock-offs, the first requirement is a low-spec configuration that is still usable, and the second is a price advantage.
These days, even with low-end configurations, quality still has to be guaranteed.
Learning machines were modified into computers.
The learning machine I made before was modified from the Atari game console.
Atari's CPUs are the same model as the Big Fruit I and II.
The Dami Learning Machine runs the DaGuo OS directly. All the features that were previously removed from the learning machine were reinstalled.
Even with all the items added, it's still less than a thousand yuan.
Add a 12-inch CRT monitor, and buying it for five thousand wouldn't be excessive.
Replacing a Changhong LCD monitor would cost 8,000 yuan; that's practically a steal.
A modem port is reserved so that a network card can be purchased separately if internet access is possible in the future.
It can be expanded later, but upgrades must be performed after the rice is sold.
This is definitely a low-spec computer. Although its performance is somewhat outdated, it's at least usable.
Anyway, it all operates under simplified instructions. The only useful thing is that the Big Fruit's Windows system looks very advanced.
It's really not that bad. With the simplified instructions, the running speed is acceptable, and it occasionally lags, but most of the time you can tolerate it because you get what you pay for.
With Xing Baohua's creation of this contraption, the production of the rice learning machine ceased, and the assembly line used for the learning machine began assembling cheap computers.
Xing Baohua felt that the computer, which originally cost tens of thousands of yuan, was now being sold for less than ten thousand yuan, not to make money, but to disgust people.
If you're so capable, why don't you let someone try it cheap?
Xing Baohua finally came out of the laboratory, and his chief secretary told him that a Korean had come to see him a week ago.
Fearing to disturb Xing Baohua's research, they refused to let the other party meet him.
Xing Baohua has some time now, and can't just leave that Korean guy hanging, after all, he was sent by the Third Prince.
The visitor's name was Park Dong-chon.
He's here to replace Jin Canshan, the factory manager.
This Manager Park is from Samsung headquarters, so I've heard more about him.
He knows better than anyone who's in charge on this land.
He met Xing Baohua very politely, bowed, and even used honorifics.
As for Lenovo's order, Xing Baohua didn't mention it, since it was Jin Canshan's personal decision.
Xing Baohua didn't deal with him here because he was giving face to the Third Prince.
"Director Xing, when I came here again, the chairman asked me to ask you a question. What's the future of Samsung?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua chuckled.
Samsung doesn't need to ask him which path to take. That third prince's autocratic behavior is even worse than his; once he's made up his mind about a path, nothing can change it.
He asked this question to see what idea Xing Baohua would come up with.
Samsung is doing relatively well now, at least they have rice to consume their products.
In the past, when people were suppressed by price wars, that was truly difficult.
alliance!
Standing there, it's likely that the Third Prince has already made his decision.
"Tell Chairman Li that I respect his choice," Xing Baohua said, waving him away.
Sometimes, self-interest outweighs family ties, and the larger the corporation, the weaker the family bonds become.
So how will the Third Prince choose? Who will offer him the most benefits? What will he choose?
As for Xing Baohua, this son-in-law who couldn't be brought into the open, he could only help him in secret.
The reason why Japan is so advanced in electronics and precision manufacturing is because of the assistance from the United States. In fact, many chip manufacturing processes are carried out in Japan.
In other words, the Japanese brought this upon themselves. If they had leveraged the resources of the United States to develop their own chip manufacturing capabilities, there wouldn't be only a handful of chip developers in the world.
Unfortunately, the United States also disliked that dog and poured all the resources intended for the Japanese into the Koreans.
Samsung was the first to benefit.
Comprehensive development has made Samsung a behemoth.
If Xing Baohua tries to force Samsung to make a choice through an alliance, he cannot offer Samsung any benefits.
Samsung won't align itself with him. Therefore, the third prince will join another major manufacturer's alliance.
Xing Baohua wasn't angry; if that were the case, it would actually be beneficial for him.
At worst, I can just put in more effort to serve the princess well, whisper sweet nothings in her ear, and get some new techniques for her.
Xing Baohua felt that this sacrifice was worthwhile.
Wei Laisong returned from a business trip to handle official business in the city, and while he was at it, he asked Xing Baohua about Yicun brand air conditioners.
Sure enough, good companies just don't want people to eat their food. They feel they're doing very well, and with their current strong sales, maybe with a little more effort they can become a top-tier domestic brand?
Everyone has moments of ambition, and Xing Baohua respects other people's choices, even though many people may not know the brand of this air conditioner factory.
But in later generations, they were at least listed companies.
After years of experience, they no longer target the production of residential air conditioners, but rather large-scale central air conditioning systems, specializing in enterprise-level business.
Fearing that the city would lose face, they communicated with Xing Baohua and agreed to provide the rice mill with the compressors they had developed.
The core technology was delivered just like that.
