Chapter 1144 Lenovo Competitiveness

They didn't pay attention to these specific data before, so it turns out that IBM is competitive compared to even thinking about it. Without the dark screen, no unit bid could be won!

Even thinking about an 8800 laptop, IBM with the same performance parameters costs 23,000, not just double the price of the other party, how many idiots would buy it.

Of course, this is a comparison of the Huaxia market, after all, Huaxia has a place to protect, tariffs are too high, and disguised compulsion raised his retail price.

But on the US side, IBM sells 2,000 dollar notebooks, the same performance as even notebooks, for only 1,499 dollars, and the price is still a quarter short, because even imports, shipping, tariffs, etc., are high.

The two of them calculated in their minds, Lenovo's notebook, the cost of one is definitely less than a thousand dollars, while IBM's cost is more than a thousand and two hundred dollars. Is there such a big difference between IBM and Lenovo in cost control?

Since Guo Shina took office, IBM's cost control has improved a lot, so there were a lot of redundancies, and this pioneer is no better than Huaxia's followers!

No wonder Forbes last year rated Lenovo as the fastest growing PC distributor, leading the world just in terms of cost control.

If it's just a reduction in labor costs, it doesn't seem like it's going to happen, and there are definitely some other costs that are cheaper, such as their component costs.

Huaxia has built the world's largest silicon factory and is said to be planning to make up half of the world's silicon capacity in the future!

Though when the news broke out, a lot of people were laughing and twisting their noses. Don't say that silicon technology, Huaxia is off-track in the world, this investment alone is not a small amount. And to make up half of the world's capacity, do they really know how much that is?

Not to mention other nearby island nations and Treasure Island will teach them a lesson.

But when a lot of people knew that this silicon was Feng Yu's main investment and had Philip and Kirilenko's shares, they suddenly felt, as if it wasn't impossible.

Feng sold Microsoft's stock, so much money to invest in what? Together with Philippe and Kirilenko, funding is certainly not a problem, and either of them has the capacity to invest alone.

On the technical side, Philip provided state-of-the-art Siemens improvement technology, and Kirilenko also provided some Russian confidentiality technology. As for how he got it, Feng Yu didn't ask.

In that way, the technical aspects are no longer a problem.

When it comes to sales, the island and Bao Island want to surround Feng Yu's company, it's like Tianfang Night Tan. Huaxia alone is the gateway to protection and can keep them out of the door. Other companies may not be able to resist higher politics, but Feng Yu, if it doesn't matter above, who believes!

Instead, they should be worried that with lower cost, higher efficiency in the future, the storm silicon factory will definitely suppress them and they won't be able to lift their heads.

In the view of Guo Shennar and Peng Mingsheng, disguised phases have reduced the cost of Huaxia electronic components, perhaps due to the launch of the silicon plant.

“Feng, you're in the silicon factory in Huaxia. How's the production?” Guo Zina asked.

“It's okay, it's not finished yet, it's only one issue.” The construction and commissioning speed of the crystalline silicon plant shall be carried out as required by Feng Yu.

Guaranteeing speed now is absolutely half of the world's capacity, and then you can really do it and control prices. Now it's too big. One is that the use of funds is not very cost-effective, and it can't be sold. It doesn't consume that much.

After a few years of waiting, the photovoltaic industry will rise, and solar panels will be a good development direction. This Feng Yu has already talked to Taihua Battery, so they have set up a solar panel R&D project department, which will definitely split a large chunk on this cake!

“Feng, Liu, I've read your paper, and I'm curious, how do you reduce the cost? I mean, can it be reduced to this level?” Guo Shennar couldn't help but ask.

Liu Bianchi glanced at Feng Yu and saw Feng Yu nod his head. He only said: "It's very simple, the main parts are made by ourselves, or we all have a cooperation agreement. ”

“The main parts are manufactured by themselves? What do you mean?”

“It goes without saying that you, IBM, are also using Windstorm Electronics' optical drive technology, which implements the Windstorm-Phillips standard. Graphics We use Eagle Weida's, we have Eagle Weida's factory in Huaxia, and what we get is the lowest price in the industry. Mouse keyboard We made it ourselves and the price is very low. LCD monitors, windstorm electronics technology is also industry-leading, giving us the lowest price in the industry. ”

“Batteries are Taihua batteries, the lowest price in the industry, hard drives we work with Windstorm Electronics, Edward Electronics, etc., and of course we are the lowest price. Sound cards work with AIWA and sound great and inexpensive. Memory is Kingston's, there are factories in Huaxia, we are the lowest price...”

Guo Shina was shocked, how could this even think that almost everything on the computer is the lowest price in the industry, as if there was nothing else but the motherboard. And they're working with Intel and Super Wei, and they're saying there's going to be cheaper high-performance notebooks coming out next.

“Feng, Liu, I'm curious, you said the hardware companies, they give you the lowest prices in the industry, why?” Guo Shina's eyebrows are locked, and IBM doesn't treat him that way either.

“It's simple, because we have the best sales and the best to help them expand their market share.” Liu replied.

In fact, the real reason, of course, is that those companies are held by Feng Yu. With the help of Feng Yu, they are building factories in Huaxia, or commissioning Huaxia substitute workers, which not only reduces costs, but also helps Lenxi Group to enhance its international competitiveness.

The leader also greatly appreciated Feng Yu's move. He praised Feng Yu for not forgetting the nation's ethnic entrepreneur.

Feng Yu wants Lenovo Group to go beyond IBM in the future, be it PC, software, or service, to form a huge IT superior. Correspondingly, these computer parts manufacturing companies of Windstorm Holdings can also be the masters of the project!

This plan, Liu Xianzhi naturally knows. But he didn't think that Feng Yu was going so fast to invest in computer-related enterprises.

Of course, even thinking about it makes it more internationally competitive. Even thinking about computer design is world-leading, the price is more advantageous, and the brand is gradually making it.

Of course, even the biggest gap with companies like IBM is patented technology, and companies like IBM can make huge profits every year just by virtue of patent licensing, which is something that we want to work on now.

Liu Xianzhi's explanation obviously did not satisfy Guo Shina, but it is normal for others to say that it involves the trade secrets of the other company.

It's just a condition of cooperation, both sides should talk about it, even think about trying to catch PC sales in their hands, how is this possible?!

We're IBM, we're always in charge!
