Extraordinary Genius

“President Liu, our second order for netbooks has been completed, but there are still many messages on the internet asking us to continue producing this cheap netbook, do we continue?” Yang Yuanqing asked with a happy face.

If the super sales of netbooks continue this year, this year's PC Market champion will be Lenovo Group!

Last year's global PC sales were just over 200 million, including Huipu, Daiyan, Lenovo, IBM, Asho and other brands, followed by Fruit, Dongzhi, Four-Star, Xianyi, Xiaoxia, Hongji and other brands.

Hewlett-Packard sells just as much as it does, leading by a few million units.

Now even with one netbook, sales of one million units increased in a single quarter, combined with normal growth of other products, this year achieved a backlash, from third globally to first globally, not impossible!

Besides, is it possible that the sales of this netbook will continue to grow?

Yang Yuanqing was very excited about this, and he was very confident in this goal and full of expectations.

He is the vice president of the PC business, there have been rumours that Liu Zhi wants to give up the position of president for two years, so he and the vice president of the server are always the most likely to take the lead.

Servers, not even the top five in the world, are ranked sixth, and PCs are likely to be the first, the best, the worst, you can see it at a glance?

Not to mention, the overall profit of PC business is higher than that of the server. PC is even the most powerful business, he is far from the top, the worst is a performance that no one else can compare to!

Now that this achievement has come to light, it is likely to be achieved. If it fails, can it go further and become the second largest in the world? Next year will be the number one in the world, just in time to take over.

In fact, he also has a very strong competitor, which is the Seeking Army of Silver Mountain, but the Seeking Army made it clear that it will not compete for the position of president of Lensing Group, which makes him remove the biggest competitor, otherwise even thinking about the strength of Silver Mountain at this time, he is not necessarily a Seeking Army opponent.

Liu Yuanqing looked at the excited Yang Yuanqing and said with a smile: “Yuanqing, sit down, let's talk. ”

Liu Zhenzhi rose up and sat on the couch of the office with Yang Yuanqing. This Yang Yuanqing was indeed his preferred successor, and neither the Academy nor Taihua Holdings had any objections.

He also hesitated between Bo Jun and Yang Yuanqing, but he said that he was not interested in hardware, so he did not intend to compete for the position of president of Lenovo Group, so the only person Liu Legendary wanted to examine was Yang Yuanqing.

“Yuan Qing, the sales volume of the netbook was unexpected, but you noticed that no, the profits of the netbook were the lowest, and now less than 8 percent before tax, while our other products, the profits before tax, exceeded 10 percent. It also means that this product sells well, but it doesn't make a lot of money. ”

Liu Xianzhi began to teach Yang Yuanqing experience. He really intends to give up the position of president of the group within a year or two. In a few years, he will even give up the position of chairman of the group, so that he can enjoy his retirement in peace.

He doesn't know if he can actually retire, but even if he does, he has to retire when he wants to be the first in the world!

“And you find no, and now all the major PC manufacturers are starting to develop netbooks, as you can see from their orders from Super Vivo Semiconductor and Eagle Vivo. When they all roll out the netbook, the profitability of the netbook will be further reduced. ”

“Although we were the first to do netbooks, they have brand and market advantages that do not necessarily repress us in reverse. And our biggest advantage is the price. But their output is also very large, and although we seem to have cheaper labor costs, they don't necessarily cost more than we do once they form the volume. ”

“And while netbooks say they're not positioned like regular laptops, they still rob the market for some laptops. Some people who wanted to buy notebooks, although they were just for internet access, movies, etc., had no choice but to buy higher prices at that time. ”

“But now, when they have a choice, they will buy cheaper. We have opened up a new channel and influenced the sales of our original products. For the time being, the impact is not very great, but it will get bigger in the future. ”

“In other words, the selling of this online book is premised on the detriment of our own interests. The smaller this market gets, where will we go? ”

Yang Yuanqing looked at Liu Xianzhi and knew that this was a test for him. He thought about it and replied seriously: "First of all, I think the most important thing we have at the moment is to become the world's number one. The first and second benefits to the company are enormous, let alone the third. ”

“One more we can also increase in quantity, thus reducing our costs. Now our netbook profits are less than regular laptops, because we invest too much money in propaganda, and now we have a reputation, and less and less in propaganda, which means that our profits will go up. ”

“Our bestselling of netbooks does have an impact on our other models of laptops and even on desktop sales, but it's not that big of an impact. And the life expectancy of netbooks is not long, five years at a time, almost three years behind. ”

“This backwardness is not only due to the poor performance of our products, but also due to the faster and faster development of software and so on, the software will become increasingly demanding for hardware, and it can be said that the software will phase out these netbooks. ”

“I think the desktop market will be smaller and smaller in the future, and notebooks will be the first choice for personal entertainment and corporate office, so our research and development on desktops will guarantee the world's leading edge, but research and development on notebooks will ensure the world's leading edge! ”

“The sales of notebooks are now increasing, and the overall PC sales will increase in two years. But in two years, some PCs will be eliminated, and they will be our returning customers. The population is growing, the market is expanding, new demand is always there, so I don't think the market is going to get smaller and smaller, but I think the PC business is going to go from a fast growth period to a stable period, and it's going to stay stable for a long time! ”

Liu Chuanzhi smiled on his face, Yang Yuanqing replied, he was very satisfied. He also discussed this issue with Feng Yu. Everyone's thoughts are basically the same as those of Yang Yuanqing.

“Very well, then I agree, keep selling this internet book, it's still set at a million units until it's sold out. When other manufacturers launch their netbooks, our new products should succeed! ”
