"Lao Liu, this tablet will allow more people to carry it with them. Don't you think it's very convenient?"
Liu Chuanzhi shook his head: "Mr. Feng, maybe in a few years, the product you mentioned may become popular, but I insist that notebooks should be our main focus now and can bring the greatest profits to the company."
"What's the point of carrying this tablet computer you mentioned? The functions you mentioned are almost covered by MP4 and electronic paper books. Even for games, aren't there smartphones?"
"And haven't you noticed that whether it's a smartphone or an electronic paper book, some netizens criticize it. The Internet speed is too slow. It's okay where there is WIFI. When there is no WIFI, the speed is too slow if you use a machine to directly connect to the Internet."
Yes, the Internet at this time was not as developed as it was in the previous life. The domestic network is still 2G, but overseas there is a 2.5G network.
The 3G and 4G networks that Feng Yu experienced in his previous life have not yet been promoted. I heard that 3G technology has been developed, but the standard battle is still going on. No one can prove the optimal of the three standards, including the 3G standard developed by China.
There are currently two development directions abroad, one is GSM upgrade, and the other is CDMA upgrade. China, on the other hand, accepted Feng Yu's suggestion and focused on upgrading more excellent CDMA technology.
The so-called 2.5G network is the upgraded technology of GSM. It can only be regarded as a transitional technology and will not develop well. All communication providers can see that CDMA has more advantages and is more advanced.
After the advent of 3G technology in the previous life, smartphones developed the fastest, including tablet computers, e-books and other electronic products that require the Internet.
Feng Yu asked back: "Old Liu, do you know that our country has also made breakthroughs in 3G network communication technology? And there have also been technological breakthroughs abroad? Once the 3G standard is implemented, the speed of Internet access on mobile phones and tablets will greatly increase. .At that time, these shortcomings you mentioned will no longer exist."
3G? Liu Chuanzhi looked confused. He didn't understand this technology at all.
Feng Yu explained that the new generation of network communication technology can greatly improve the Internet speed of mobile devices and make up for those shortcomings.
"Mr. Feng, even if the technology you mentioned is really that good, hasn't it been implemented yet? Only after this technology is implemented will we be able to launch tablet computers, right? Can this technology be implemented within a year? You don't dare to package it. Tickets, right? So during this period, we should still focus on notebook research and development."
"We have slowly launched the netbook market, so we should launch more and better products on the functional notebook side to attract customers and ensure that we can secure the top spot in PC production and sales!"
No one wants to be surpassed after becoming number one. This is not an athlete. The body will gradually age and have to give way to young people. This is product research and development. Why can't Lianxiang always stay ahead of other manufacturers
Even for athletes, don't they have records? Ask which athlete wants his or her record to be broken? Unless the person who breaks his record is also one of his own.
"So you want to vigorously promote business books?" Feng Yu asked.
"Mr. Feng, the technology we bought from IBM is mainly used in business notebooks. If we don't make a big fuss in this area, why spend so much money on their patented technology?"
When you buy back technology, you must make it into products and sell them to make money. Otherwise, isn’t the money wasted in vain
Feng Yu thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
It seems that tablet computers may not be suitable for launch next year. If there is no 3G, the launch will not be very popular.
Lianxiang Group wants to make business notebooks, which is normal, because business notebooks generally sell at higher prices and have higher profits.
But even if it wants to make a business notebook, Lianxiang Group should be different from other manufacturers!
"Old Liu, if Lianxiang Group wants to make a business plan, how can you be different from other manufacturers? If nothing else, how can you surpass the fruit company and the Sunni company?"
"The price/performance ratio is great. For products with the same configuration, we sell them at a lower price, which is a huge advantage."
Feng Yu shook his head: "Old Liu, think about it for yourself. If we use IBM's technologies, the products we make should be high-end business laptops. Who are the people who buy high-end business laptops?"
"Either they are employees of large companies or people with successful careers. Ordinary people use desktop computers. Even if they use notebooks, they would not be willing to buy high-end business notebooks, right?"
"In other words, what matters to people who buy high-end business laptops is not the price at all, but the performance, brand and reputation."
"In terms of performance, are you confident that we can be the best in the world? In terms of brand, do you think we have an advantage over those old business laptop manufacturers? In terms of reputation, we are a newcomer in the business field, although there are no negative reviews. But there aren’t many good reviews, right?”
"You sell a high-end business laptop for 20,000 yuan, and others sell it for 22,000 yuan. It seems that you are 2,000 yuan cheaper, which is not a small amount. But people who are really willing to spend 20,000 yuan to buy a business laptop are generally willing to spend 20,000 yuan. Second, buy a business notebook that they can feel more comfortable with.”
"The price advantage is completely useless in high-end business notebooks. If you say that 10,000 yuan can be worth the performance of someone else's 20,000 yuan product, then others will definitely suspect that you have something to hide in terms of security, Lianxiang Group How can it be so far ahead of other manufacturers?”
Liu Chuanzhi was stunned when he heard what Feng Yu said.
Is this the root cause? No wonder Lianxiang Group's business notebooks are only selling well in China. When they go abroad, although they are not uninterested, the sales are always unsatisfactory.
It's not that they do less advertising, but that people haven't recognized Lianxiang Group's ability to do business.
This is the gap between established manufacturers and upstarts like Lianxiang. When it comes to brand heritage, Lianxiang Group is far behind.
"Mr. Feng, can't we sell well abroad?"
"If you want to sell well, it's not impossible. You have to make innovations that they don't have." Feng Yu reminded.
"Innovation? How to innovate in this business notebook? Other companies have already done the ideas that we should have."
Feng Yu shook his head: "Remember the SSD solid-state drive I told you? Do you think it would be an innovation if our business laptops used solid-state drives instead of mechanical hard drives?"
"The boot speed can be reduced to less than ten seconds. Is this a huge improvement in performance? In many cases, time is very important. One second faster, you may be able to sell a stock that is about to fall to stop the loss, or buy a stock that is about to fall. A stock that’s going to soar.”
"And solid-state drives are less likely to be damaged, which is also one of its advantages. Although with the current technology, the number of erasing and writing of solid-state drives is only 3,000 times, it is enough for several years. After a few years, the performance of notebooks has already improved. Falling behind, it’s time for them to get new ones.”
Business laptop with solid state drive? Liu Chuanzhi frowned, this kind of innovation seems feasible!
