Chapter 748 Role of posts

Suddenly there was a price battle in Huaxia, which surprised other computer brands. Without any signs before, why did the price suddenly drop dramatically?

The main push is 881 desktops, and even if they are computers in the island countries, they cost a lot less than $10,000 in shipping, unless they're willing to pay for the sale.

They can't afford to sell it. If this results in a monopoly on the market, then there are huge tickets to bear. Even if they sell at a reduced price, what if they continue to do so? They're losing money. They haven't won yet. Isn't that worse?

And what's worse is laptops, and their retail prices are over 20,000 dollars, and even if you think about it, it's only 14,000, and the performance parameters are not only worse than they are, but even better than they are in some ways, like optical drives.

Let's grasp three points for massive publicity right now. First, the lowest prices nationwide; secondly, the best used systems and software; thirdly, the highest configuration, and even the most advanced VCD drives in the world.

At this point, even thinking about the value for money leads other computer brands.

So they started to figure out how to unite, how to confront Lenovo. In fact, the easiest way to do this is to force people to even want to raise prices so that they can go back to the same level and rely on bigger computer brands to re-guarantee market share and profit.

And since the launch of Microsoft's WIN95 system, computer sales have risen linearly in most parts of the world, and they have to admit that a useful system can greatly stimulate consumers to buy computers.

But only in Huaxia, they met Kang!

Because Lenovo's computer already has Microsoft's chinese operating system installed directly, it's free. Free also includes a lot of apps, they've tried it and it's all very practical.

What they don't understand is, how can the prices of these software be free? These software alone should be worth more than 2,000 RMB, or even 3,000 RMB, so to speak, is the cost of a computer only about 5,000 RMB?

This is absolutely impossible!

They are big companies, bigger production lines, more efficient, lower cost of purchasing accessories, the cost of controlling the RMB at the beginning of 5,000 yuan, not even thinking about them in every way, the cost should be higher, 6,000 yuan should be more reasonable.

And there's the cost of advertising, transportation, warehousing, store sales, etc., and they sell eight thousand eight thousand dollars, how much profit do they have left? No, it's good to lose money, right? Thinking about how much the company's assets are, how long can they hold out if they really burn money for promotions?

Don't they want money for their software? How much would it cost to have Microsoft software alone? As you can see from Microsoft's profits, Microsoft is a vampire, and when they buy in bulk, the price is also very high.

Do you even want to install software for a very low price?

Some are even thinking about their own R&D, which can go with free, which they understand. Software developed by Silver Mountain, as Silver Mountain also has a stake in Lenovo, and the price may be very low. But Microsoft's system and software prices, they're never very low, are they? How much did they get and how much did the market retail cost?

But there are only two kinds of speculation that they study. The first is that Lenovo computer hardware is very cheap, and the second is that Lenovo computer installed software is very cheap!

They immediately contacted the hardware supplier and started ventilating each other to see what the other's purchase price was. While they are aware that their prices will definitely vary because of the volume of purchases, they should not be significantly different.

The end result is true, too, where the cost of the hardware supplier is, and the selling price cannot be too low to guarantee profit. And the hardware representatives said that no matter which computer company they sold to, they didn't make money in the end, how could they lower their profits for what market?

So they got the answer, and the question appeared on the software!

Lenovo and Silver Mountain Software, they looked at the market price and found that Lenovo's own software, if calculated at the retail price, cost more than 1,000 pieces, which is no different from what they estimated.

This is a thousand times faster, and they don't count them all. So Microsoft's software and systems always cost money, right? Even with their price, the system and OFFICE software cost over $200, right?

Unless, of course, they have Microsoft software at a lower price than they get. But is this... possible?

How long have they been working with Microsoft, even when Microsoft was a small company? And how long they've been making computers, no matter how much they produce or sell, they're stronger than they think, and even more than a few times the value of the brand. If Microsoft's software is priced high or low, should they be priced low?

They analyzed it for a long time, and all they got was a paradox. At this point, they decided to ask Microsoft for proof, and they wanted Microsoft people to tell them that the software was priced the same, or about the same.

They contacted Microsoft headquarters, and Microsoft headquarters responded that in Asian markets, please contact Ballmer, president of Asia-Pacific Markets.

And when they contacted Secretary Ballmer, Secretary Ballmer told them that Warsaw's market was the direct responsibility of MR. Feng, the company's director and vice president of the Asia-Pacific region, which Mr. Ballmer ignored.

So they called the director again, Mr. Feng.

“This is Mr. Microsoft Von's office. Who are you looking for?” Ralph answered the phone and asked.

“I'm Sanro Hiraya, vice president of sales at Dong's company, and I'd like to speak to Mr. Feng. ”

“I am sorry that Mr. Feng is on leave, but if there is nothing of particular importance, please wait for Mr. Feng to return on leave. ”

Mr. Feng is on vacation? I'll call you when I get back from vacation? Is that how Microsoft is managed?

Even on vacation, should you tell me who will succeed Mr. Feng? Do you want to tell me when my vacation is over, and you're sending me away?

“Wait, what's your name? ”

“I'm Mr. Feng's secretary, and you can call me Ralph. ”

“Okay, Mr. Ralph, when does Mr. Von leave end? Or who will take his place during the holidays?” Sanro Hiraya asked seriously.

“When the leave ends is uncertain, depending on Mr. Feng's mood. Who do you think will replace Mr. Feng? I'm sorry, no one can replace you. Your name is Sanro Hiraya, right? Leave your contact details and Mr. Feng will get back to you at the first time if he wishes. ”

Sanro Hiraya feels like his brain is rusting. You are Mr. Feng's secretary. Don't you know when Mr. Feng's vacation is over? What else can no one replace, he's just a manager, not a special R&D worker, how can there be no substitute?

But he had no choice but to leave his phone number and asked Ralph to tell Mr. Feng as soon as possible that he had something important to talk to him about.

He didn't find it useful to tell Ralph, and Ralph didn't even ask. In fact, Ralph already knows what's going on, and this is the sixth call he's received today, all from a big computer marketing company, and he answers with a set of lines.

This is the benefit of Feng Yu becoming the head of Microsoft Huaxia District.

What Feng Yu is doing right now, in a pet store, picking out the pets he wants to keep.
