Chapter 548 I Don't Mind That You're Poor, Just Don't Mind That I'm Low...
Su Yehao sat on the sofa in the living room and began flipping through the thick stack of instruction manuals.
Unlike other instruction manuals on the market, the one in his hand had more than fifty pages, marking simple production processes as well as component suppliers, market unit prices, bulk purchase prices, labor transportation costs, and so on.
It was essentially a production manual, with the words "Confidential Document" written on the cover in traditional Chinese characters, which was very considerate.
They thought this was to cater to Su Yehao's habits, but it was actually superfluous.
Through the table of contents, it could be seen that Mr. Ni tried his best to use domestic parts, but the proportion was too small and the value was not high.
Seeing that the computer's processor used a Pentium III, using 0.25 micron, 1.3hz main frequency, Su Yehao asked in a puzzled tone, "Pentium III, Intel's latest flagship product, right? Are you planning to aim at the high-end market? Isn't this a bit too extravagant?"
Chu Jun sat aside, took the teacup that Nangong Tian personally brought over, thanked her, and explained:
"This computer is specially configured for you. I had someone calculate that the cost is about 17,000 RMB. It uses the best components on the market, so the price is of course a bit more expensive. Ordinary office computers are expected to use Intel Celeron processors, which were just released on January 4th, targeting the economical office and gaming market. You can find specific information if you turn to the back; the data is on it."
Su Yehao flipped through it according to the directory.
He found that the so-called Celeron processor had the same architecture as the Pentium II, but with two L2 caches removed... He didn't know much about this, but in his opinion, the current processors were all pathetic.
Compared to the computer itself,
the fact that the processor used 0.25 micron, which is 250 nanometer lithography technology, made Su Yehao feel more interesting.
Computers are assembled, and no matter how well they sell, it's like helping upstream component manufacturers seize territory, expand the market, and earn a little hard-earned money.
However, the more backward the lithography machine technology, the more development time he has, and the easier it is to survive in the upcoming wafer foundry market. Facing this super-sized cake, even Su Yehao felt that the prospects were amazing, far better than assembling computers.
Flipping through this carefully prepared document,
facing the many data and professional terms, Su Yehao felt dizzy for a while, so he simply asked directly: "Let's put the document aside for now. I'll take a closer look later when I have time. If a computer like this is put on the mainland market, how much do you think it will sell for? What about the simplified version?"
Chu Jun has been helping in the project team since this year.
In order to avoid causing too much attention from Liangxiang Company, he hasn't even formally established a company yet, only using the code name "1999 Root Plan". His position is tentatively set as general manager, and Mr. Ni is the deputy general manager, managing the research and development department.
Regarding Su Yehao's question, Chu Jun was very clear and answered decisively:
"This has also been estimated. If it's the same configuration, Liangxiang Company would have to sell it for 25,000 or 26,000 RMB, right? Maybe even more. Their company's net profit is very high, otherwise it wouldn't be rising like crazy on the Hong Kong stock market. Directly imported computers from abroad, like IB
