Rekindle 2003

Chapter 572 The Long Night: Listen more to the old man and you won’t suffer a loss

The market price of a graphics card is 1589 yuan, and Yanhuang has an additional price of 500 yuan to pick it up? !

Everyone took a breath when they heard this.

Damn it?

Got a red eye?

This adds up to breaking the 2000 yuan mark!

I won’t talk about the payment terms that follow. They are what they should be. It is just the downstream’s control over the upstream based on its scale.

That is the graphics card.

In fact, to put it bluntly, graphics card manufacturers do not master the core technology.

The core technology is in the hands of Factory A and Factory N. All graphics card manufacturers on the market are actually integrators and their technical content is not high.

Without this graphics card manufacturer, there are other graphics card manufacturers, and there are so many graphics card brands on the market.

So the hosting provider can do whatever they want.

But if it really comes down to factory A and factory N, the host manufacturer will have no choice but to call them daddy.

Payment terms now are nothing more than a return to normal conditions.

The price can be increased by 500 yuan, which is a sign of urgency.

Many people in the conference room looked nervously at Zhiliu, who was frowning.

In fact, they want to say, stop raising prices.

The worst thing is to change the graphics card manufacturer. If we continue to fight like this, we will kill a thousand enemies and lose as much as three thousand!

The Yanhuang Group's money is actually a bottomless pit. Qing Yun can play 'father-in-law is on top' at any time.

If the price continues like this, what price will be the end?

You may not be able to stop spending 2999 yuan, because these 20 graphics cards are inevitable for Qingyun, otherwise he will have to modify his product configuration across the board.

So, by modifying the configuration, will the 10 graphics cards he mentioned earlier be in vain?

Divided into high allocation and low allocation?

Then the pricing strategy also needs to be modified.

In such a short period of time, it is impossible to coordinate publicity materials nationwide.

Lin Min continued with a strange expression, "At the same time, it is said that Qing Yun made the call himself, telling the chairman of Sparkle that if they dare to sell goods to other manufacturers, don't blame him for being cruel to Sparkle in the future. "

When Zhiliu heard this, his brows widened and he smiled at each other with his old partner Li Qin.

Then, the two burst out laughing.

Li Qin wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Hey! I thought Qing Yun would be so angry that he would flip it over again and shout 800 yuan!"

After saying that, he paused and said, "He started shouting harsh words. It seems that the boy felt guilty."

Those who were still thinking in their hearts that this fight was going to get to the top, heard Uncle Qin click on this sentence, and felt that it was the same thing.

If they were Qing Yun, if they really wanted to fight the price to death, then in order to show their momentum, they would directly double the price.

Now I only added 100 yuan. Although it was added, the taste...

It's so bad.

The corner of Zhiliu's mouth raised, but he patted the table with his hand, "Lin Min, increase the price by 800 yuan! Take it back!"

You can even say that our Fantasy Group is willing to reach a strategic cooperation agreement with them and give priority to using their models in future models!

But you must grab Qing Yun’s goods. Tell Jingyu that if you help us this time, they will gain the friendship of our Fantasy Group!

I invited their Chairman Ning to come to Yanjing to sign a contract, and I, Zhiliu, personally picked him up at the airport! "

Lin Min responded quickly and quickly ran to the small room next to him to make a phone call.

Everyone was also startled by Zhiliu's sudden arrogance.

Good guy!

Qingyun, who was young and wealthy, didn't get twice as much money, but you got twice as much money when you were old.

Zhiliu explained with a smile, "I am forcing him to change the graphics card."

Everyone was a little confused, but at this moment Zhiliu closed his eyes and began to think without saying a word.

After a while, under the expectant eyes of everyone, Lin Min came back, with an excited face, "Yanhuang withdrew! They gave up!"

Zhiliu didn't open his eyes when he heard this, took off his glasses, crossed the fingers of his hands, supported his chin with his two thumbs, put his elbows on the conference table, and slowly opened his mouth,

"The executive committee members will stay, the senior vice presidents of the group and above will stay, and the others will leave and rest for half an hour."

Guo Wei blinked. He suddenly had the treacherous idea of ​​giving Zhiliu a red and blue pencil.

After the door of the conference room was closed, Zhi Liu still didn't open his eyes and asked softly, "Xiao Lin, why did he withdraw?"

Lin Min was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly, "Teacher, there is no information, and it is not that fast.

Jingyu said that Yanhuang Group hung up the phone immediately after hearing the offer. "

"Does the Yanhuang Group know that we are robbing it?" Zhiliu continued to ask.

"I don't know. From the very beginning, we asked Jingyu to hide our information," Lin Min answered quickly.

But he paused and said quickly, "But I think Yanhuang Group should know very well that it is us, the domestic manufacturers can raise prices like this, no one else but us.

Foreign manufacturers will not use the SPARKLE brand. "

Zhiliu nodded, opened his eyes, and looked at Yang Zhiyuan.

Yang Zhiyuan understood it and didn't talk nonsense. He took out his mobile phone and started sending text messages.

In the conference room, everyone smoked in silence.

Although they won the battle, the Yanhuang Group withdrew so simply, which made them feel a bit unreal.

Qing Yun is not short of money, and many people even think that the price may exceed 3000 yuan.

The price of FX5600 and FX5900 is usually considered to be a fantasy.

But in a specific environment and at a specific time, it is inevitable.

Because this is a life or death moment.

There are only more than 70 hours until the product release, and only more than 140 hours before the official launch. Now, the arrow has to be fired.

Everyone couldn't think of Qing Yun's reason for retreating at this moment, and many people even didn't think Qing Yun would retreat.

Then, there must be something fishy about Yanhuang's retreat at this time.

Many people have even begun to examine this time process.

They have been frightened by the Yanhuang Group and are worried that this will be another big pit.

During the previous summer promotion, Fantasy Group spent real money to seize the market.

As a result, the direction was completely misjudged.

A loss of 1.6 million yuan was made in vain. This is a real loss.

Guo Wei lit a cigarette, "I think...Qing Yun should have a backup plan. He will probably transfer goods from other manufacturers."

"Isn't it too late?" Li Qin knocked on the table and looked at him to show respect for his elders. He didn't notice that Uncle Qin had run out of cigarettes.

Zhiliu, who was in the main seat, laughed dumbly and asked Lin Min to make arrangements quickly. He also asked Guo Wei for a cigarette.

Guo Wei smiled and smoked, "Qing Yun relies on his father-in-law, and his logistics system is not much worse than ours. It only takes more than 30 hours to deliver goods to Jincheng from any coastal city, which is completely in time."

Zhiliu nodded and agreed with Guo Wei's statement, "However, he has to change the card, he has to launch two configurations, and reprice."

At this point Zhiliu shook his head and suddenly cursed, "Damn it! It's too hard to beat!"

His sudden foul language made everyone feel uncomfortable.

Zhiliu's image in the company has always been serious, even stern.

But there was never any foul language.

Li Qin glanced sideways at his old partner, understood, and cursed, "What a bastard! He has two configurations, and we have two configurations to fight."

Guo Wei smiled bitterly, "I hope it's for other reasons."

What he said...no one actually believed it.

"Buzz!"

Everyone turned their attention to Yang Zhiyuan over there.

The phone in front of him vibrated twice.

Yang Zhiyuan quickly picked up the phone, looked at it, and then looked at Zhiliu with a strange expression, "Qingyun changed the card, Xingtianxia's FX5900."

Li Qin dropped the cigarette he was holding in his mouth and was about to light, "What the hell?" Guo Wei immediately typed on the keyboard and searched for the price, "The market price is 3099 yuan? Is he crazy?!"

Zhu Linan, one of the five marshals, frowned and asked in confusion, "How did they get involved?"

Before Yanhuang Group, if there was any company in the industry that was a thorn in the side of Fantasy Group, it must be Xingtianxia Group.

Wu Junjun, the chairman of Xingtianxia Group, is known as the "price butcher". In 2001, he officially entered the branded computer market. When he entered the market, he said he would "restore the true colors of prices and make affordable computers", effectively lowering the price of computers in China. Thousand dollar line.

It's not like the Fantasy Group has never killed Wu Junjun.

What they were fighting was a channel war, which put Wu Junjun in the same situation as Qing Yun at this time, with no channels available.

But in 2001, what no one expected was that Wu Junjun played a trick and blossomed outside the wall.

Xingtianxia Group, which originally started out as a graphics card and motherboard manufacturer, has a strong board and card sales network in major cities across the country.

Its 'Xiaoyingba' graphics cards and 'Panying' motherboards are very popular in the market because of their high cost performance.

Wu Junjun threatened many board and card channel dealers to secretly join forces by threatening the agency rights for board and card sales.

Then, many board and card agents and distributors transformed into thousands of sales outlets of Xingtianxia Group Shenzhou Computer across the country overnight. They caught Fantasy Group by surprise and made a huge profit at a price of two thousand yuan wires lower than the market price. With a market share of 35% in the household brand machine market, the illusion of market dominance has been thrown off the throne.

This move completely blinded Huan Huan.

Fortunately, Guo Wei fought a classic cognitive war that year and used a massive amount of negative public opinion to label Xingtianxia's Shenzhou Computer as "low price and low quality", which turned the situation around.

Wu Junjun tried to change the brand image many times, but he was pinned to the ground and rubbed by Huanfan. The feud between the two parties was finally settled.

Therefore, even though they knew that there was a new army coming to the market to share the cake, when they saw that it was against the Fantasy Group, no one had to think anything. Wu Junjun helped Qing Yun decide this place.

Yang Zhiyuan glanced at the dark-faced Zhiliu and continued, "It was Xiong Xiaoge who made the call. When Wu Junjun heard that he was calling us, the price to the Yanhuang Group was 2399 yuan."

Zhao Linhuan, one of the five young marshals, pursed his lips and slammed the table, "Fuck! This is the cost price."

Li Qin was also speechless.

As vested interests, we shouldn’t unite to strangle the dragon crossing the river!

Lin Min blinked, not daring to speak.

In his opinion, if Zhiliu hadn't done such a great job, Wu Junjun would not have joined forces with Qingyun to fight the landlords.

Guo Wei suddenly laughed at this time, and then he looked at the ceiling and blew out smoke rings.

After several smoke rings, a smoke arrow passed through.

Put it in a bar and it will make the girls around you scream.

But unfortunately, this is a conference room.

Seeing his demeanor, Zhi Liu was so angry that he wanted to get angry, but when he was about to curse, he held it back and started laughing.

Smiling with relief.

Everyone looked inexplicably.

Li Qin couldn't help but knocked on the table and got angry, "Hey! Hey! Hey! You two, master and disciple, are here to show off your high IQs? Xiaowei, let it go as soon as possible!"

Guo Wei chuckled, stood up, put his hands on the conference table, and said playfully, "Everyone, can I use the Xingtianxia graphics card?"

When Li Qin just wanted to tell him why it couldn't be used, Guo Wei's expression changed, but he looked at Yang Zhiyuan with a serious face and said softly, "It's not him who has the final say whether it can be used or not. Word of mouth has the final say."

Yang Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled and gave Guo Wei a thumbs up.

The two burst into laughter.

At this time, everyone in the conference room also understood.

Gold cups and silver cups are not as good as customers' reputation.

So, what is word of mouth?

Public opinion is word of mouth.

Only victims have the desire to talk, but normal customers are silent ones.

Consumers who buy products of poor quality will go online to leave negative reviews, find groups who are also victims, and then go to the manufacturer to defend their rights.

Normal consumers are so used to it that they won’t even notice the online reviews of the products they use normally.

It’s even less likely that you’ll have nothing to do after eating too much, and stand up and say how good the product is.

Instead, they will just shrug their shoulders, cross the post, or argue a few words in real life, and then sympathize with these unlucky people, and then they will suspect that they are just lucky, and they will feel panicked the next time they buy. Then the brand was changed.

Fantasy Group has always used the voice of Xingtianxia Group's consumers to defend their rights, destroying Xingtianxia in terms of reputation.

This has formed a label.

"Then, if the Yanhuang Group wants to use Xingtianxia's graphics cards, it only needs 'fair' and 'conscience' media to stand up and list the misdeeds of the Xingtianxia Group in the past, and then stand in a neutral position and express their disapproval of the Yanhuang Group's computers. Concerns about quality can make many people feel worried without saying anything.”

Li Qin clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Then it was the same style of play used to defeat Xingtianxia in the past, except that Xingtianxia Group was replaced by Yanhuang Group.

In fact, we only need to target his first 10 machines. We can completely ignore the machines with Xingtianxia Graphics Card.

I have to say, Xiaowei is still quite shady. "

Guo Weili was amused, "Uncle Qin, are you praising me, or are you hurting me?"

Li Qin burst out laughing, "White cat and black cat, the one who catches mice is the good cat!"

Zhi Liu looked at Guo Wei with a smile, then looked at Yang Zhiyuan, took a puff of cigarette, and then smiled happily, "This battle is probably only on this big scale.

I can now be completely sure that the 1000 billion is not prepared for us, and Qingyun will not even touch a penny.

As long as he could move a little bit, he wouldn't be able to withdraw so quickly on the SPARKLE graphics card today. "

Li Qin nodded, "In other words, our early judgment was correct. Qingyun's entire capital plate is still as large as we originally expected."

Zhiliu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then smiled, "My father-in-law doesn't have to pay a penny for life or death... I have to say, this guy is too tough."

Li Qin echoed his old partner, "So, sometimes being too tough is not a good thing."

When Zhiliu heard this, he looked at him and said, "There is something in your words."

Li Qin spread his hands and said sincerely, "Old Zhi, you should know that he can't kill you, and you can't kill him. It's unnecessary, really."

In front of all the juniors, after working together for half a lifetime, it was hard for him to say to Zhiliu, "Don't fight for this."

However, other elderly people on the executive committee have no such concerns.

The elder among the elders, the silver-haired Zeng Maochao held the cup and smiled, "Old Zhi, that's about it. Yanhuang and the Institute of Computing Technology still have great cooperation. Don't let the relationship get too tense."

This man is the first chairman of the Fantasy Group and the former director of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Without him, there would be no Fantasy Group.

As soon as the old man spoke, Zhiliu could only put on a respectful expression, "Old leader, don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Didn't you say back then that you can avoid a hundred punches with one punch? I never thought I could kill him. When we gain the upper hand, I will immediately find Qin Tianchuan Peace talks.”

Zeng Maochao smiled and pointed at him, "That sentence was not said by me, but by the teacher. Don't put a high hat on me!"

Everyone laughed together, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Buzz!

The cell phone in front of Guo Wei rang. He picked it up and looked at it, then replied to the text message with a smile on his face.

Zeng Maochao took a sip of tea and smiled, "Xiaowei's second spring... seems to have found the right person. I heard that girl is from our Yanjing TV station? Where is she from?"

Li Qin next to him chuckled, "My surname is Zeng, who is from Jincheng. He is the host of the morning news and the noon news, as well as a director and producer.

This girl was born in December 75, which is much younger than Xiaowei. "

Zeng Mao was so happy that he counted the months with his fingers, "Yo! December 75... Yi Mao Rabbit, that is quite suitable for our Xiaowei Ren Yin Tiger."

Yi Mao Rabbit, a large stream, will be a rabbit holding a flower in the middle of the moon. People born in winter will have long life and good fortune, and will have no loss in life.

If a Water Tiger matches a Water Rabbit, the couple will have a harmonious relationship and great love. They will help each other and have a bright future. "

Guo Wei's face lit up with joy.

Zeng Maochao smiled again, "That's right...Jincheng girl..."

After saying that, the old man raised his eyebrows teasingly at Guo Wei, "Xiaowei, this... you have to believe that the gentleness of the girls in Xishu is restrained, and you need to discover it.

Men, be generous! Ears need...how do you say that word? Oh, rake! Rake a little, and everything will be happy for you and your family! "

In the conference room, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and then burst into laughter.

Even Zhiliu, who had always been serious in the company, couldn't stop laughing and couldn't help but say, "Xiaowei, you have to listen to the advice and listen more to the old people. You won't suffer."
