It was like adding wings to a tiger.
Hua Yao was the overlord in the communications field, the world's number one in mobile phone sales, owned countless patents, and had an annual revenue of more than a trillion. Joining the "Xing Hai Alliance" led by Xing Hai Technologies was of great significance.
For example, the chip orders for Hua Yao's mobile phones and 5G communication equipment could all be handed over to Zhongxin International.
If Hua Yao purchased all domestic memory chips from Purple Ray and NAND storage from Da Jiang Storage Factory, it would be another cake worth tens of billions.
It would also cut off the blood of a large number of overseas manufacturers.
In short, the alliance of the two could be said to be a combination of the strong. It was equivalent to the first and second place teaming up against the third and fourth place.
It went without saying who would win in the end.
…
Zhongxin International was conquering the technology of the 7-nanometer chip.
After Hua Yao joined the "Xing Hai Alliance."
Chen Jin made a private inventory.
He counted the number of trump cards he had in his hands.
"There's no need to talk about the intelligent robots. Whether it's the cleaning robot (Wa-wah) or the home service robot (Bang Bang), there are currently no competitors. The annual sales volume of these two products is about 20 million, bringing in a net profit of about 50 billion.
The Little Star learning machine has been developed to the third generation. The current cumulative sales volume is close to 150 million units. The primary, middle, and high school markets are close to saturation. In the later stage, new students and replacement of scrapped units can sell at most 20 million units each year, bringing in a net profit of about 70 billion.
However, the 'Little Star Fourth Generation' specially developed for university students and the 'Smart Brain Terminal' for the public are both in development. They will be introduced to the market in about two to three years. In the field of knowledge, there is still a market potential of hundreds of billions to be excavated.
The software product, Work Assistant, is mainly used by the programmer community. It brings in more than 5 billion in revenue every month. More than 70% is net profit. It can earn more than 40 billion annually.
However, besides programmers, many R&D organizations need Work Assistant. The functions of this software can be continuously expanded. In the future, it will cover tens of millions of people and bring in tens of billions of revenue every month.
The film and television special effects engine and game engine are also expected to net about 10 billion annually.
The standard fee for building a virtual factory is at least 1 billion. You can either pay in cash or take out shares. The threshold for using it is higher. However, it can't be exposed to the public to avoid causing geopolitical turbulence. We can only try to let our own people use it.
As for the Star Cloud system, it is purely for self-entertainment. It can't bring in any benefits at present, but it has already burned up hundreds of billions. Before we defeat the Android system, it will consume no less than 30 billion annually. On average, it burns 100 million per day.
In addition, Xing Hai Technologies holds dividends from many companies. More than 10 billion a year, but the company has to spend more than 10 billion annually.
To sum up.
Chen Jin could earn about $180 billion a year.
After deducting the salaries of more than 30,000 Xing Hai employees and various operating costs (about 30 billion),
In addition to all kinds of large-scale research and development projects, investment activities, and money-burning behavior … the annual expenditure was no less than 150 billion.
Therefore, he was the kind of person who would spend as much as he earned.
However, he felt that it was still not enough.
He still didn't have enough money to spend.
He had to add more projects to make more money.
What kind of project should I start?
"It's best not to snatch the cake of the domestic manufacturers if possible."
"But … there's no need to be so polite with the foreigners. We can't change our style of snatching the whole plate."
Was there any cake that belonged to foreigners that Chen Jin could grab?
Home computers!
This was the so-called PC.
In the PC industry, other than motherboards, memory, hard disks, power supplies, chassis, fans, and other components, they could all be localized. The two most profitable products, CPU and graphics cards, were monopolized by Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and a few other foreign companies.
In the operating system sector, there is still Microsoft, which had been making huge profits for decades.
Now, their good days were probably coming to an end … at least in the Z country's market, they would meet the strongest opponents.
As for the home computer project (including the operating system), it had started last year and had achieved some results so far. It was expected that next year, the first "100% domestic PC" that used the domestic underlying architecture, domestic CPU, domestic graphics cards, and a domestic operating system would be launched.
Therefore, the idea and plan of making a "100% domestic computer" had been in Chen Jin's plan since the beginning.
While making money, he would make up for the last shortcoming.
However, many people were not optimistic about this project. Hardware was not profitable, and it was difficult to promote a new computer operating system. Not only was it inconvenient, it was also difficult for users to get used to it … Lei Xiao Jun was optimistic about him and invested a sum of money into it.
Chen Jin even invested tens of billions and insisted on doing it.
Because Chen Jin believed that Xing Hai Technologies would definitely succeed in making a home computer!
…
July 18th.
When Xing Hai Technologies entered the home computer market and was about to create a "100% domestic" computer.
The internet was in an uproar again.
Countless commentators and senior netizens in the technology circle were not very optimistic.
There were many voices of pessimism.
"What era are we in now? Home computers are about to be eliminated, and they are still rushing to this evening market?"
"There is still a market for home computers. Who wouldn't buy a computer for work, study, and entertainment? It's just that this market is really failing. The performance of PCs has not improved significantly for ten years. Nowadays, a computer with high specs will not be outdated even after five or ten years. Who would have the urge to change? "
"Now that you are entering the home computer market, making your own architecture and developing your own operating system, it is safe, but not many people will buy it. You also have to build a complete ecosystem of applications, but Xing Hai Technologies …" This person thought for a while and decided not to continue. Xing Hai Technologies was a freak.
"I don't doubt Xing Hai Technologies' ability. You definitely have the technology, but good technology does not mean that the market will be good, especially for users who are used to the Windows operating system. It will be very difficult for them to change their habits and adapt to a new operating system."
"Alright, I have my reservations. However, computers are not like mobile phones. Many people change their phones every five or ten years. The profit margin for the hardware is not high, but the software is profitable, but it requires a large number of users. Can the computers you make trigger the impulse to change and sell tens of millions of units?"
"It's good that someone is doing it. Recently, the prices of memory chips and hard disks have plummeted. This has aroused the impulse of many people to DIY new computers. But the prices of CPU and graphics cards have risen. Xing Hai Technologies is putting a catfish in a fish tank. It's not bad to teach Intel and Nvidia a lesson. Maybe I will buy a computer made by Xing Hai Technologies."
…
The news of Xing Hai Technologies' announcement of entering the home computer market spread to the foreign media.
Foreign netizens burst into laughter and mocked them one after another.
"I admire their courage."
"I think of Don Quixote who challenged the windmill."
"Give them another hundred years and they will still be using the computers we invented."
"Hey, stupid farmers, you are facing a giant."
"…"
After a meeting and discussion, the senior executives of Intel, Nvidia, and other companies did not pay too much attention to it. They did not take Xing Hai Technologies' challenge to heart.
In the 1980s, ever since IBM launched the first home computer, they had been competing in the field of squeezing toothpaste for almost 50 years. From architecture standards to software ecology, they had established an all-round dominance. Now, there was a company that wanted to challenge this dominance?
Hehe.
