"Old Yang, how is the situation?" Lei Dajun just came to work in the afternoon and grabbed Yang Yuanqing to ask. Nature's Novel WWW. ⒉3TXT. COM
"What can you tell from the first day of sales? But sales in North America have also started, and Microsoft's sales there are good."
The largest sales volume of this system is the manufacturer's pre-installation, and then the sales of system CDs. The manufacturer's sales for one day have not been calculated yet, and it may not be possible to tell anything on the first day.
The sales of major PC manufacturers in one day actually don't mean much. It takes a cycle to determine who has the advantage.
Just like two new movies released at the same time, the one with the highest box office on the first day may not necessarily have the highest box office in the end. It also depends on the subsequent word-of-mouth.
The first day is mostly influenced by publicity. Basically, whoever does better publicity and has better channels will win on the first day.
After a week, things will return to normal. At that time, we will have to rely on word of mouth to determine the winner.
Many of them started with great momentum and broke a series of records, but in the end their performance was mediocre or even disappointing. And there are also many that were not popular at first, but later bucked the trend and performed better in the end.
But although the truth is like this, as a party involved, not many people can be so calm.
In fact, those manufacturers are also very worried. Because the system has been updated, their PC prices have also been adjusted. Basically, the home version is pre-installed on computers and the price is not high.
The price in China is the same, 399 yuan RMB, in North America it is 59 US dollars, in Europe it is 59 euros, and other major markets are similar to these prices.
The price of the previous generation operating system from Microsoft was several times that of Lianxiang Yinshan. This time, Lianxiang Yinshan will not engage in a price war because its brand, technology, etc. are not weaker than Microsoft's and will not reduce its profits.
Since a new generation of operating systems is about to be launched, computers with old systems are being cleared, especially those with XP systems, which are no longer pre-installed. As for VIsTa and xos first-generation systems, the prices have been reduced and they have not completely withdrawn from the market.
This time it is equivalent to a price increase for products with the same configuration. Those manufacturers are also worried about whether the products will be unsaleable? What if consumers still want to buy cheaper
The clearance of outdated systems also allowed them to make some adjustments to product sales, such as taking advantage of the bad market and reducing new product shipments.
In fact, these currently mainly sold models have not had any hardware upgrades, and I don’t know whether consumers will accept them.
The impact of the economic crisis in Europe and the United States has not yet passed, and the market has not yet recovered. If a large number of goods are shipped at this time, what if the goods are unsalable
The gross profit margin of these PC manufacturers is less than 10%, and many of them are even less than 8%. If the sales are slow, the pressure on funds will be very serious, and they are also a little worried.
Now that Microsoft has competitors and the economic situation is not good, PC manufacturers have jointly talked to Microsoft, and Microsoft finally agreed to lower the price.
They hope that the market share gap between the two parties will not be too big, so that they can check and balance each other so that their PC manufacturers can take more initiative.
It would be better if Lianxiang Group did not come out to disrupt the situation, but it is a pity that there is no if.
Major PC manufacturers are also particularly concerned about the sales of the same product for different systems. They even secretly unite to make some balance.
But there are some problems with this balance. If they achieve the balance, some manufacturers only make Microsoft systems, such as Suini, and some manufacturers only make Lianxiang Yinshan systems, such as Lianxiang. They want balance, but this kind of PC brand that only makes one system will break this balance.
Huaxia brands, except Lianxiang Group, other brands also launch models with two systems. This made Qiu Bojun and Lei Dajun very angry.
From their point of view, if Lianxiang Group hadn’t made concessions, which brands would have been able to develop
Now you are helping foreign companies compete with us for the market. Don’t you think this is betrayal
There are imported brands selling PCs with pre-installed In7 system in China. Lianxiang Group can completely suppress them all with its stronger sales channels, stronger cost advantage, more intensive targeted advertising, etc.
But if domestic brands use the same means to suppress them, domestic brands may be doomed. It will be difficult for them to go abroad. As long as they rely on the Chinese market, if this market is done, then the company will be doomed.
Destroying one's own country's brand is a good thing to say, but a bad thing to say.
"Lao Yang, you should talk to Shenzhou and other domestic manufacturers again. It's not okay to play both sides." Lei Dajun feels that Yang Yuanqing is too kind and should be stronger when necessary.
If those domestic brands don’t understand, let them experience the same treatment as foreign brands and let them know why Lian Xiang is the industry leader!
"I know, I will talk to them again. I will go back there first when you come, and I will see how Lianxiang's sales are."
Lei Dajun sat down, opened his L-pad, and immediately logged into their office system to view real-time sales statistics.
The data from those manufacturers have not yet been reported back, but their CD sales in various stores will be updated at any time, especially the paid download data from those websites. This statistic is the simplest.
CDs and other items may be returned, but this paid download is generally impossible to return. After downloading, you see the activation code directly. How do you cancel it
The official website of Lianxiang Yinshan has a good download volume, with over 50,000 downloads already.
The download volume of Lianxiang Group's official website is also very good, approaching 50,000.
The number of consignment downloads of some PC manufacturers is also reflected in the above. None of those has exceeded 10,000. It is obvious that their publicity efforts are not enough.
However, Lei Dajun didn't take those channels too seriously. The most important channel was the software park.
Seeing the number of downloads in the software park, Lei Dajun rubbed his eyes. Is he still awake and dazzled
One, two, three, six digits, more than 180,000 downloads!
Lei Dajun quickly picked up the phone: "How many paid downloads of Microsoft's In7 are there now?"
When counting your own statistics, you should also pay attention to the data of your peers. Don't think that some data cannot be seen on the surface. Even Xiang Yinshan has an undercover agent at Microsoft.
"How much? Is it the total? Okay, before leaving get off work, you can tally the data again and upload it to my oQ."
After hanging up the phone, Lei Dajun waved vigorously.
We are ahead, and not just a little bit ahead, but a lot ahead.
Microsoft has calculated the number of paid downloads of In7, which is just over 100,000, only one-third of it!
The gap is so obvious, it can be seen that the previous publicity effect is still very good, now we are waiting to see what countermeasures Microsoft has in place!
