Chapter 227 Price war trend

Zhongguancun, Lenovo Group's sixth-floor conference room.

More than two hundred key personnel of the group were looking around and whispering. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, they were sitting together again.

But this time, the problem is much more serious.

The capital market has taken the lead in reflecting this, with investors selling off one after another, and Lenovo Group's share price plummeting 14%.

After the release of Infinite Company's Dimensity machine, it was a dimensionality-reducing blow to the entire computer market.

Especially in terms of appearance design.

Comparing computers of any brand side by side, they are all miserable, clunky, bulky, and at least twenty years behind.

So much so that the Chinese people are now willing to spend more than 3,000 yuan more to buy a complete Dimensity machine. However, they have long abandoned Lenovo computers and are not considering them anymore.

"President, can we lower the price first and then stabilize the market share?" The head of the sales department raised his hand and expressed his opinion loudly.

The conference room instantly became quiet.

Liu Chuanzhi frowned, and after a while he said: "Reduction in price? How much? Do you think it will be useful?"

"this...."

He asked several questions in succession, leaving everyone speechless.

Now their Pentium 4 console sells for 8,000 yuan in the market. Even if they don’t make money, wouldn’t they still be unable to compete with Infinity if the price is reduced to 5,000 yuan?

Even if it is of the same price, Chinese people will not choose theirs.

Many people within the group participated in the rush to buy Infinite Company's complete Dimensity machine. After getting it, they couldn't put it down. They couldn't imagine that a computer could be so "exquisite".

Especially the ultra-thin LCD monitor, when placed in the office, the temperament of the entire room is improved by several levels!

No matter how reluctant they are to admit it, they have already acquiesced in their hearts that this is what they imagined high-tech products should be like.

"President, we have to find a way. We can't continue like this, otherwise we, Lenovo, will face the risk of bankruptcy in less than a year!"

The engineer surnamed Li, who was sitting next to Liu Chuanzhi, was already panicking.

As the current chief engineer of Lenovo, he has only just taken up this position. Unexpectedly, the company is already facing a major crisis.

The one who defeated them was Ni Guangnan, who was driven out by them.

There have been rumors in the outside world, saying that Lenovo is ignorant and has given up on such a talent in vain.

Some netizens even said that from the moment they gave up independent research and development.

Lenovo is no longer the national enterprise that people have high expectations for.

Even within the group, many employees secretly complained, feeling that the president was confused and made the wrong decision.

Liu Chuanzhi sat at the front of the conference table with a calm expression on his face. In fact, he had long regretted it in his heart, but he could not show it because it would damage his dignity as president.

After careful consideration, he decided to take a multi-pronged approach to stabilize the market.

After years of ups and downs in the business world, he cannot be defeated by a small setback.

"Sales department, first lower the price of the complete machine to our cost line."

"Gong Li, please contact Intel and explain our situation to them. We must ask them to lower the price of CPUs, otherwise we will lose the market and Intel will not be able to survive alone!"

"Also, Lao Wang, you should contact the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Computer Science and ask them to communicate with their subordinate units and ask them to specify the purchase of Lenovo when replacing computer equipment, otherwise there will be no subsidies..."

....

Liu Chuanzhi proposed several measures at the meeting, which temporarily stabilized the hearts of the people inside.

However, after the meeting was dismissed, he hesitated and dialed a phone number...

at the same time.

Far across the ocean in the United States, California, Santa Clara.

Intel's headquarters.

There was silence in the conference room, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

It has been almost ten minutes since the meeting started. Except for the opening, when various material manufacturers and process departments reported on the research and development progress, no one said anything.

The venue fell into a deathly silence.

"Gentlemen, why are you silent?" Intel President Craig knocked on the conference table, reminding the sleepy manufacturer representatives to pay attention to the occasion.

"Ahem." The representative of TSMC, seeing that the others were silent, could only bite the bullet and said: "Mr. Craig, this cost control is a systematic project. It takes a certain amount of time. We are working on it.

....”

"Time! Time!" Craig interrupted his perfunctory words angrily, "Will the Chinese give us this time? We have spent so much effort to enter the Chinese market, and now we are directly beaten by a company that has only been established a few years ago.

company was defeated!”

"So, I don't want to listen to your excuses, but I want to get an accurate time when the cost can be reduced!"

The representatives of TSMC can understand from the bottom of their hearts the unreasonable behavior of the President of Intel.

Who is not anxious?

They are more anxious than Intel because they are responsible for the chip production process and have a lot of workers to support. Now that their chips cannot be sold, they are already considering whether to abolish some production lines.

He explained to the president of Intel with a frown on his face: "Mr. Craig, the cost control channel is nothing more than starting from two aspects: internal management and hardware technology, but now, the potential of our internal management process has been tapped to the extreme."

"The problem lies in the hardware. In order to ensure the quality of the chip, we also use the same 158-nanometer manufacturing process as Infinite Company. Of course, our technology is much more mature than theirs, but despite this, there is

There are also many problems.”

"The main reason is that the processing difficulty and the yield rate are too low. The yield rate is only 30%!"

His words were so sincere that all the manufacturers in the room couldn't help but nod, indicating that they had indeed tried their best.

However, Intel's President Craig didn't buy it. He said angrily: "What the hell! You said you have made your best efforts, but how did the Chinese people reduce the costs?"

He didn't mention Chinese people, but everyone was fine. When he mentioned it, everyone in the conference room started shouting excitedly.

The representative of AMD was closest to him and immediately shouted: "This is the most incredible thing! We learned some information from the side. Infinite Company is still using eight-inch wafers for processing, which is different from our ten-inch wafers.

The production line is completely different by an order of magnitude!”

Representatives of NVIDIA are also shouting: "From the information analyzed by our engineers, their commercial processing technology is only at the level of 300 nanometers. However, we obtained one of their computers through special channels and found that they

The CPU actually uses 150 nanometer technology!"

"Not bad! Our laboratory dismantled their chips and found that the internal processing level and packaging technology are still very rough, which makes all scientists miserable!" The Qualcomm representative who joined temporarily also said with a blush.

"Judging from the internal structure of their chip, they used some kind of flexible technology to produce such a super-quality chip!"

"Logically speaking, it is very surprising that they can produce such a piece, because they cannot have such an advanced photolithography machine!"

"But we dismantled several computers in succession and found that all the chips were like this!"

"What's even more incredible is that the cost of this chip should be very high, but the price of their complete computer is only $600! It's like a dream!"
