"Since AMD will definitely take advantage of us regardless of whether we participate in the competition or not, we might as well not say anything and quickly develop it. Then, we can come up with a processor that's better than AMD's dual-core processor and step on AMD again."
Benjamin frowned, "Don't say anything? If that happens, the value of our Intel brand will definitely be affected. "
"I think we can start from another direction. AMD is going to compete with us, right? Then we can't just compete with one product. We have to bring out many products to compete with AMD. It doesn't matter if we win or lose this competition. We have more products to win. This way, we can reduce the negative impact this competition will have on us. We might even be able to increase our positive influence. "A director said.
Benjamin's eyes brighten up. That's right. Since this is a competition, we must not just compete with one product. Intel has more products than AMD, and they have more high-performance products. Let's choose a few more products for comparison and let people know that AMD's product is just a flash in the pan, and Intel can easily surpass it.
… …
"Manager Feng, this duel between AMD and Intel is going to be held in Beijing, and this will have a huge impact on us. Have you seen the news? Many netizens are saying that two of the world's top processors are in China to show off, and Lenovo was slapped in the face. "Liu Chuanzhi said.
"I had seen the news. Netizens are worried about the country and its people. But this matter can be settled easily. I will ask Zong Qingxian to inform all the internet companies to expose that Wind and Rain Holding Group is AMD's shareholder. I believe the netizens will know who to support. "
Liu Chuanzhi nodded. "If this is the case, the netizens will surely support AMD after some guidance. I think AMD's sales in the Chinese market will increase again."
"AMD's processor performance is on par with Intel, and it is more affordable. To the average user, choosing AMD is the most logical choice. Furthermore, AMD's product is indeed better than Intel's. In the future, AMD will slowly devour Intel's market share and even compete with Intel. "
In Feng Yu's previous life, AMD could not achieve this goal, but it might not be the case in this life. Last year, AMD had proposed a new motherboard architecture called Bulldozer, and it is one of AMD's most important research projects. If this is successful, AMD will be able to overtake Intel in some aspects.
"But this time, Intel had chosen multiple processors to compete with AMD. Other than their dual-core processor, AMD does not have any other advantages." Liu Chuanzhi reminded.
"So what? Compare the prices? Their processors are better, but our prices are cheaper. I'm not saying that AMD will take the low-cost route and give the high-end market to Intel. Instead, I want to let consumers know that PC hardware can be upgraded very quickly, and choosing the most cost-effective model is the most suitable. "
Even if it was a desktop, if you chose high-end configurations, you could assemble a desktop by yourself for 20,000 yuan. A high-definition LCD would cost a few thousand yuan, and a high-performance graphics card would cost a lot as well.
But ordinary people will not be able to use it. A 5,000 to 6,000 RMB PC can last for a few years if it is assembled by itself.
The high-end configurations were prepared for the nouveau riche, the big companies that were not short of money, and the government agencies were also included.
In Feng Yu's previous life, he heard that the government agencies will buy their PCs at a higher price than the market price. It seems that some products that are not selling well in the market will be sold to the government or state-owned enterprises.
Even in this life, the situation had not changed much. There will always be "top tier" salesmen who can sell these crappy products.
But it is hard to say if there are any tricks behind this.
Liu Chuanzhi heard what Feng Yu said and lowered his head in deep thoughts. He was thinking if Lenovo can also use this method to showcase their products and use it as a marketing strategy to increase their sales.
Lenovo's PC department and IBM's PC department had started working together, and both companies will be selling each other's products in the major markets.
But soon, IBM is not satisfied. Lenovo's sales are increasing very fast, and IBM's sales are increasing very slowly. IBM is a company that focuses on hardware and software. But they realized that if they do this, they will not be able to prioritize their business. That's why they decided to sell their PC business.
Lenovo wants to expand, and they started talking to IBM. Why don't you sell your PC business to us? We will give you a sum of cash and Lenovo shares. This is considered a strong alliance. Lenovo's PC business will surely become the world's number one, and our share prices will increase.
At the start, IBM was still interested in this proposal, and both parties tried to sound each other out. Liu Chuanzhi was very excited.
IBM had always been one of the leaders in the PC industry. If Lenovo can acquire IBM's business and get some of their technologies, it will be a huge boost to Lenovo. Most importantly, Lenovo will have access to IBM's PC sales channels, and Lenovo's sales in the US and Europe will increase.
But for some reason, IBM's attitude towards Lenovo had changed, and Liu Chuanzhi was frustrated.
Liu Chuanzhi was thinking if he should organize a price-performance competition in the US to increase Lenovo's brand awareness. Or, he could increase the offer to IBM.
"General Manager Feng, what do you think if Lenovo acquires IBM's PC business?" Liu Chuanzhi asked.
"That depends on what you think. There are pros and cons to acquiring IBM, and there are also pros and cons to not acquiring IBM. But my personal suggestion is not to acquire them now. We can talk about acquiring them after we defeat IBM. "Feng Yu said with a smile.
"Defeat IBM? That's impossible. IBM has the support of the US government and many other companies. Although our price-performance ratio is high, our after-sales service is not good enough, and it will affect our sales. "
No one can guarantee that their PC will not break down, but IBM has the home court advantage in the US. They have a large number of after-sales service points, and Lenovo does not. Now, Lenovo wants to ask IBM to take over Lenovo's after-sales service, but IBM rejected.
"We might not be able to get IBM's government orders because of safety concerns. But we might not be able to get the orders from other companies. Other than IBM, are there no other companies willing to take over our after-sales service? Also, within three years, we will be able to suppress IBM's PC business with our high price-performance ratio. At that time, they will beg to sell their PC business to us. That will be the best deal! "
IBM begging to sell their PC business to us? Is this possible?
