Chapter 771: Difficult to Choose (Second Update)
The more than 1,200 owners of SEG Plaza decided to use their connections to exert influence on individual DIY vendors around the world, so that the world can sell Loongson as much as possible, instead of Intel or AMD.
At the moment, inside the headquarters of the Dream Company.
Naturally, they also got the news.
"Mr. Liu, sure enough, things didn't surprise you, Intel fought back. This is the latest review report of their latest Pentium 2 CPU and Celeron 2 processor. Celeron 2, compared to the Loongson 1st generation, is just a little worse in performance. But the price is much cheaper than the Loongson sold on the market. Yang Yuanqing said.
"Well, this Pentium 2, the performance is doubled. The gap is already out!" Yanagawa nodded.
"So, we only bought 100,000 pieces, and they were almost all sold out. It's very wise!" Yang Yuanqing said with a smile, "After this, I'm afraid the market will still return to the rhythm of Intel and AMD!"
Yanagawa nodded.
He is really not optimistic about the Loongson from Cyrix acquired by Qin Feng. If Qin Feng buys AMD here, he will support it. But Cyrix is the CPU company that has been eliminated.
You gave it a makeover and turned it into Loongson, and that has a future?
Yanagawa Zhi would never take the future of the dream company to bet that Qin Feng's Loongson could be transformed.
Ultimately, it's the technology that decides everything.
"Don't worry about him. If the CPU is sold out, there is no need to restock. Fully launch the Celeron 2 and Pentium 2 processor-based computers!" Yanagawa commanded.
But they never expected that the next day, more than 1,200 vendor owners of SEG jointly issued a statement, announcing that they would fully support Huaxia Loongson.
"Huaxia Loongson, this is our own chip of Huaxia people. Although in terms of current performance, it is far inferior to Intel's Pentium 2 processor, but it is better than the Celeron 2 processor. Moreover, this is our country's own chip. Therefore, we will make every effort to promote Huaxia Loongson. We also hope that all domestic counterparts will also help Huaxia Loongson. Because, this is our own chip. A swarthy young man said to the many bosses from all over the country who came to buy goods.
And the bosses all over the country take the price of 480 yuan. The selling price cannot be higher than 580 yuan. Because the price of the Celeron 2 processor is currently 600 yuan. That's it, it must not exceed 580 yuan. In this way, price bands can be formed.
For bosses all over the country, they take between 600-700 yuan and sell for about 1,000.
Now the price of the goods has been reduced to 480 yuan, and the price is less than 580 yuan. In terms of profits, this is indeed a lot less. Far less profitable than before.
It can be said that purely in terms of profits, selling Huaxia Loongson is not very profitable.
On the contrary, selling Intel's chips is different. Celeron 2, they really don't make money. There is no doubt about this. This is not more profitable than Loongson. However, sell Pentium to make money.
Pentium 2, the market price is about 5200 yuan. They bought less than 4,000 yuan. If you sell one, you can make about a thousand. It's even more profitable than before. Of course, there are fewer people who buy it.
However, now these bosses of SEG Plaza are letting them buy less and only buy a few Pentium 2 chips. Mainly into the Loongson, to sell the Loongson. This, to be honest, is very difficult to choose.
"Guys, maybe we'll make less money now, but as long as we can sell our computers, we can make money. I don't think it's a big deal to make a few hundred dollars less for a computer. The swarthy young man said, "You should take a long-term view. You know, everyone will definitely support Huaxia Loongson. In this case, as long as we sell more computers, the profit is the same!"
"It's just that if you let us not sell it, this, to be honest, if other buyers sell it, we don't sell it, and this customer won't enter the store. Some bosses are worried, "After all, Intel's brand image is here!"
For most people, one thing they know is that with Intel's chips, it is a good computer. Although it is very one-sided. After all, how well a computer performs depends on a number of factors.
Such as motherboards, RAM, hard drives, graphics cards, and so on. But for most people's cognition, whether the CPU is good or bad is the most critical.
At this point, even after more than ten years, after entering 2010, many unscrupulous traders will always promote i7 chips and the like when they promote computers. And most consumers are also concerned about whether it is i7 or i5.
As for the i3, when I look at it, I think it's a junk computer. In fact, the i3's chip is indeed not strong enough. But if you don't play some special games, a good graphics card is enough.
On the contrary, most of the i7 and i5 computers advertised by unscrupulous vendors are spicy chicken, and the overall performance is sometimes not as good as a well-balanced i3 computer.
However, this is a common human disease. Or rather, this is the brand image that Intel has established.
This is implemented to ordinary traders. You have an Intel sign hanging outside, and there are a little more people watching.
What Loongson is not Loongson, many people may not care.
"But this is Loongson, our own chip, and the performance is not bad!" the swarthy young man persuaded bitterly.
However, many vendors are still hesitant. After all, it's about their jobs. What consumers think about it, they don't know.
It's just that many computer magazines now have a lot of reviews of Loongson, Pentium 2, and Celeron 2. For many consumers, they already know it.
Here's the performance gap. Is this practice of not selling reliable?
In particular, the national purchase channels are not only Pengcheng. There is also the capital Zhongguancun.
Zhongguancun is also a computer accessories distribution center in the country. It is also available here. Of course, relatively speaking, it is not as cheap as Pengcheng.
After all, Pengcheng is backed by the Xiangjiang River. There are a lot of parallel goods coming in. This price is naturally cheaper than that of regular channels. And these vendors will sell them as regular goods.
On the Zhongguancun side, it is relatively weaker. After all, in the capital. The only entrance to the sea is still in Jincheng. Walking from Jincheng, the freight itself is a little more expensive, and relatively speaking, it is more difficult for parallel goods to come in.
Therefore, it is usually Pengcheng who takes the goods.
But now on Pengcheng's side, more than 1,200 vendors from SEG decided to unite to help Qin Feng and not sell it, or sell less Intel, which gave Zhongguancun a chance.
Especially when Qin Feng bypassed them and directly looked for Pengcheng, this also made the traders in Zhongguancun not very satisfied. This time, they directly dumped Pentium 2 and Celeron 2 to the outside world.
This makes it more difficult for vendors across the country to choose.
How to choose?
