The other manufacturers had investigated why Lenovo Group's high-end business laptop could sell so well. First, they must be aware of the advertising effect.
But are the consumers idiots? These companies are all owned by Feng Yu or Kirilenko. Both of them are Lenovo Group's shareholders, and how can they not support their own companies?
That's why the choices of these companies are not representative. However, many consumers were deceived by the popularity of these companies.
The second point was that this high-end business notebook product was really outstanding. In terms of safety, endurance, user-friendly software, and many other aspects, it was a representative work.
Even the exterior of this laptop is prettier than traditional business laptops. This is the tradition of Feng Yu's companies. They want the consumers to like their products at first sight.
The biggest innovation of this high-end business notebook was the use of SSD solid-state drives, which greatly improved the product's performance.
This technology is not only owned by Taihua Holdings. The US, Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India, etc. also have this technology. But they are not as fast as Lenovo Group.
Those manufacturers can tell the consumers like SSD solid-state drives very much. This can be seen from the comments on the internet.
Since that's the case, why can't they introduce laptops with SSD? Not only business laptops, but other laptops with SSD can also be used.
As for desktops, it is not the right time yet. After all, an SSD can increase the price of a desktop by a lot. Also, the capacity of SSD is too small and cannot be compared to mechanical hard drives.
When the manufacturers were still researching, Lenovo Group's next generation of ultrabooks uses SSD. It is also 64 GB, and it reduces the energy consumption and improves the heat dissipation.
The capacity of the SSD is smaller, but the price is slightly higher. This means the cost of this SSD is much higher.
Now, many users are using this ultrabook as a low-end business laptop. Although it is not safer, it is lighter, easier to carry around, and can last longer.
This will be more convenient when reporting to the boss or carrying it to and from work.
Although the ultrabooks did not increase their sales after using SSD, they secured their market share, and the other manufacturers who are starting to produce ultrabooks are lagging behind.
The other manufacturers saw this and felt this Lenovo Group was too much. They had just taken over the high-end business laptop market, and now they are turning the ultra-slim laptop into a business laptop. Are they trying to snatch market share from them?
Wasn't it just a SSD? Who couldn't produce it?
One week after Lenovo Group launched their new ultra-thin notebook, Toshiba announced their new business notebook using a 64GB SSD.
Soon after, Samsung Corporation also announced that they will be releasing the same laptop. The specifications are almost the same as Toshiba's laptop. The only differences are the screen, battery, size, etc., and Samsung also specially stated that they will be using SSD.
Other PC manufacturers start to introduce laptops with SSD, and Sony even uses SSD for gaming PCs. At this time, ASUS used the SSD on their low-end netbooks. The 32GB SSD has a smaller capacity, and the cost is not as high. Their netbooks are selling better.
But Asus had sacrificed some profits to increase their sales and market share. This market share is also a form of marketing for their brand.

"General Manager Feng, it is just like what you said. After we introduced our laptops with SSD, all the manufacturers started to enter the SSD industry. But their technologies are still a distance from us, and most of them are buying from Samsung, Samsung, Toshiba, and us. We are producing our own, and we have an advantage in terms of cost."
"There is another piece of good news. Many users are asking about SSD in the PC market. This way, our SSD will bring in more profits."
Looking at the excited Liu Chuanzhi, Feng Yu crossed his legs. He had an expression that said he had expected this.
"Old Liu, there's no need to be so excited. I heard we are developing a 128GB SSD? "
"Yes. Double the capacity. Is there any problem?"
Feng Yu reminded Liu Chuanzhi. "Think about how did our traditional hard disk capacity increase?"
40, 80, 120, 160, 250, etc. Of course, there are also 64GB SSD, but it is not the mainstream.
This is the problem they are facing now. Should they double the capacity like the USB drive, or should they use the integer system, which is the same as the traditional mechanical hard disk?
Although they weren't two completely different directions, there was still a significant difference.
"General Manager Feng, I remember Lenovo Group, Aiwa Home Appliances, Wind and Rain Electronics are developing this SSD technology together, and they are sharing the results, right? Should we split up? "
There are differences in sharing the results. The three companies are developing this SSD together, and their conditions are different. Lenovo Group will get a free trial of this SSD technology, and Aiwa Home Appliances and Wind and Rain Electronics own the patent and can license it to other companies.
Liu Chuanzhi had thought about this before. Lenovo Group can develop this SSD technology themselves, and they will own the patent. But this way, they will need to invest more money and effort.
Feng Yu looked at Liu Chuanzhi. "Old Liu, don't forget that you are not only the Chairman of Lenovo Group, but you are also the CEO of Taihua Holdings. If we split up, we will need to invest more money and manpower. It will also slow down the progress of this technology, and we will lose our advantage. "
"Even if Lenovo Group gets the patent, how many companies can we license it to? How much can we earn? Aiwa Home Appliances and Wind and Rain Electronics' factories are manufacturing many products for Lenovo Group. "
Liu Chuanzhi had an embarrassed look on his face. "General Manager Feng, what I meant is to split the research into two directions. I am not saying that we will split up the researchers."
Although he said this, he knows what he is thinking in his heart. But what Feng Yu said was also right. Although they will get the patent benefits if they research separately, they will also lose some benefits.
Also, this internal competition is not in Taihua Holdings's interest.
"That's up to you. Whichever side you see is easier, we'll just go. Remember, not only we must increase the size of the SSD, but we must also lower the cost. At the same time, we must not fall behind in mechanical hard drives. It's still the same. Make it bigger! "
Within 10 years, SSD will not be able to replace mechanical hard drives. In fact, within 20 years, mechanical hard drives will not disappear. This is because of their high price-to-performance ratio.
"I know. I will get my men to monitor this closely. We will be the world leader in this technology! "
