Chapter 306 Cao Cao is here again

"Bang!" A document fell heavily on the desktop, scaring everyone around the document to tremble all over, especially Yang Yuanqing, because the document was thrown in front of him.

"What's going on?" At a daily management meeting at Lenovo, Liu Chuanzhi's expression was ashen. "This is the result answer given to us by your microcomputer business department? Sales have fallen for two consecutive months, and last month it fell by more than 20%. Yang Yuanqing, tell me, what's going on? Are you already floating up!"

Liu Chuanzhi's voice almost shook the entire conference room. Many people felt that their sky spirit cover was so scared that they opened, especially Yang Yuanqing in the middle of the storm, whose expression was even more ugly as if his parents had died.

In fact, many people in the conference room were shocked by this February revenue report. At this time, the sales of Lenovo, microcomputer, that is, computers, had already occupied most of Lenovo's revenue.

After all, the value of a computer is more than 10,000 yuan these days, and the turnover will be over 100 million yuan if you sell 10,000 units.

Since January 1990, Lenovo's computer sales revenue report has been in a continuous upward process.

In January 1990, Lenovo sold a total of 720 computers.

By January 1991, Lenovo sold 1,300 computers.

By January 1992, Lenovo sold up to 2,600 computers in a month.

November 1992 was the peak of sales, reaching 3,621 computers. This is a data that makes all Lenovo people feel extremely proud and proud, because sales data are rising every month, which allows everyone to see the glorious future of Lenovo Group.

They estimated that by 2000, they could sell tens of thousands of computers every month, and Lenovo would be invincible.

But this growth finally ended. In December 1992, when the final sales data came out, Lenovo sold only 3,500 computers, down 3.4%.

However, seeing this data of sales decline, Lenovo Group was still very calm at that time. After all, it is impossible to grow every month. It is normal to fluctuate up and down, and it is abnormal to grow every month.

Besides, sales have only dropped by 3.4%, which is acceptable data.

However, in January, the sales data of 3,167 units made many people unable to sit still. In this way, sales volume dropped by 10% compared with last month.

Compared with the peak in November, sales fell by 12%, which is a bit large.

At this time, some people already felt something was wrong with the group. At that time, it was the time when Lenovo was changing dramatically. Ni Guangnan and Liu Chuanzhi were fighting the hottest, so most people did not care about the decline in sales. Maybe this was because of the internal struggle between the two. When the internal struggle ended, sales would naturally rise.

So, by February, everything was settled, but the sales data in February surprised everyone. Lenovo only sold 2,400 computers in the whole month, and sales volume fell by 25% compared with last month. This can no longer be explained by the group's internal strife.

Because Lenovo's internal fighting is not an internal fighting in the marketing department or an internal fighting in the production department, but an internal fighting in research and development and management. Such internal fighting has a far-reaching impact over a long period of time and may even destroy the fate of the entire company.

But in a short period of time, such internal strife will not have any impact. After all, Lenovo does not expect any new technologies developed by the R&D department to make money.

However, Lenovo's sales have actually dropped by 25%, which has caused all the senior executives in the conference room to sweat. If they cannot figure out the reason and what it is, Lenovo may be going bankrupt.

Because with the increase in sales, Lenovo has also developed very quickly, and the expenses of the entire group have also risen sharply.

Previously, due to the increase in sales, the group's profits could still support the group's development, but when sales fell, the cost could not decrease.

The 25% decline has reached the bottom line of Lenovo Group. If it falls further, sales will not be able to make up for the cost. What awaits Lenovo seems to be a road of chronic death.

"Chairman, I have figured out the specific reason!" Yang Yuanqing's next words made everyone in the conference room feel a little relieved. As long as you figure out where the problem is, everything can be remedied.

"What's the reason?" Liu Chuanzhi asked with a frown.

"It's the primary school typing machine that is the primary school typing machine!" Yang Yuanqing took a deep breath and said his conclusion.

"What! It's this thing!!!" When everyone in the conference room heard that the culprit was actually a primary school tyrant, their faces showed an incredible expression.

They are not blindly arrogant or look down on primary school masters. In fact, after the launch of primary school masters, Liu Chuanzhi ordered the group to purchase 20 primary school masters out of their own pockets, and then asked all senior executives of the company to try to use it for a few days, telling their thoughts and seeing whether primary school masters will have an impact on Lenovo's business.

These senior executives have indeed tried the primary school master and then came to the conclusion that the primary school master is a slag. Although he is nominally a computer learning machine sign, it is actually just a sign. He can only simply run some programs, and neither the computing power nor the work efficiency is 1% level of a computer.

So everyone made a judgment at that time that the primary school tyrant was just electronic waste and would not have any impact on the computer market. Then these 20 primary school tyrants were left alone and no one paid attention to it anymore.

In the eyes of these executives, garbage like primary school tyrants cannot pose a threat to Lenovo no matter what.

But at this moment, what Yang Yuanqing said was indeed this name.

"This is impossible? Manager Yang, you can't just find a scapegoat to come over!"

"That's right, a mere elementary school tycoon is just electronic waste. How can such a thing seize the computer market!"

A voice of doubt suddenly sounded in the conference room. Yang Yuanqing was calm in the face of the doubts and cleared his throat and said, "Although it's hard for me to believe it, it's the truth. A while ago, I met with the managers of several other major computer companies in China and exchanged some information. I found that it was not just Lenovo Group, including Peking University Founder and ibm and other major computer companies in China. Their sales performance has also entered a downward track since November. Some companies even declined better than us. For example, Peking University Founder, their sales volume in February fell by more than 30%, which was worse than our situation. I heard that the company is about to hold a shareholders' meeting."

"If it's just that one of our companies has a decline in business, it may be our own problem. But the performance of all domestic computer companies has declined. This is not a problem with our company, but a problem with the entire computer market!"

"But judging from the current domestic development trend, the computer market will inevitably be an expanding market year by year. The domestic demand for computers will increase year by year. There is no problem of the decline in the computer market, but this problem has indeed happened!"

"So I began to carefully compare the data over the past few months. As we all know, our Lenovo Group's business is mainly divided into two parts, one is for the office computer needs of enterprises and governments, and the other is for the personal computers of homes!"

"After the chairman made the decision to fully compete for the personal computer market, our Lenovo Group began its business transformation throughout the year. Now the proportion of corporate and government business is 40%, while the personal computer business of the family has accounted for 60% of the group!"

"But after I compared the data, I found that Lenovo's corporate and government businesses have not actually declined, but have risen a lot, which is the same as the previous performance curve. However, the home personal computer business has experienced a sharp decline. Compared with January this year, the personal home computer business has actually dropped by 50%. In January, we sold 2,000 personal computers, but by February, the data is only in its early 1,000!"

"So it's obvious that a strong competitor appeared in the home computer business, taking away a large number of our home users, which is why our sales have dropped dramatically."

"So starting from February 15, I started to send people to conduct social and market research nationwide, especially to survey some customers who once expressed their interest in buying Lenovo computers. I found that although some of them finally bought Lenovo computers, a large number of them gave up buying our computers and decided to buy elementary school computers and typed learning machines!"

"Most of these individual users are ignorant and do not understand what a real computer is. In their eyes, primary school students have similar learning machines and computers, and they can type and play games. And for only 300 yuan, the price is far less than tens of thousands of yuan per computer. They will be attracted to primary school students, which is natural!"

"I'm done!" Yang Yuanqing said lightly.

"Very good!" Liu Chuanzhi nodded and just asked, "What do you think?" At this time, the secretary suddenly knocked on the door, walked in, and whispered a few words in Liu Chuanzhi's ear.

"What?" Liu Chuanzhi's face changed drastically, and the others in the conference room also showed curious expressions. In their eyes, Liu Chuanzhi, who has always been mature and persistent, rarely showed such a huge change. What happened.

"Everyone, I didn't expect that Cao Cao would be here!" Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Just just now, my secretary told me that he was also the pioneer of primary school computer type-writing learning machine, Mr. Jia Yapeng, chairman of Daqian Group, accompanied our Chief Engineer Ni to visit us!"

"..." Everyone present showed a look of seeing a ghost.
