Of course, these more than 42,000 systems include OEM versions for major manufacturers such as IBM, HP, and Wang An, but even so, this number scares the data research companies up and down......

"More than 42,000 units were sold in one day, wouldn't it be more than 10 million units sold that year?" Chiwetel Ejiofor looked at Dolucy with excitement on his face: "Dolucy, you hit me, I feel like I'm dreaming...... Ah......h

Before Chiwett Ejiofor could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out a scream.

Dorocy withdrew her hand with a smile: "Now you can be sure that you are not dreaming." ”

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room, and even Chiwetel Ejioot, who was choked and screaming, was not angry, scratching his head with a smile and smirking.

Chen Geng is also smiling, as the big boss of the data research company, he fully understands everyone's feelings: no matter how satisfied everyone is with the previous test of Windows2.0, as long as the product is not officially put on sale, no one dares to pack a ticket for the recognition and acceptance of this product in the market.

Now, on the first day of listing, more than 42,000 units were sold in the North American market, which means one thing: Windows 2.0 is stable! For three or five years from now, data research companies have a stable cash cow.

Knowing this, it's no wonder why everyone is so excited.

Chen Geng smiled and watched these high-ranking company executives who were in the eyes of many people on weekdays fighting, and did not speak, he knew in his heart that everyone was actually using this way to relax their nerves that had collapsed for more than two years.

After a while, Chen Gengcai coughed lightly twice and said, "Okay, I'll say a few words." ”

Hearing Chen Geng's voice, everyone suddenly fell silent.

We all know what this sales result means, yes, although this is only the first day of Windows 2.0 on the market, we all know in our hearts that we have succeeded!

"Cheers!"

There was a howl of wolves in the conference room.

"Not only do we have to have a toast, but we also have to hold a grand celebration banquet, but now is not the time to be happy," Chen Geng pressed down with his hands, signaling everyone to calm down first: "Although we have achieved more than 42,000 sales in the North American market on the first day of listing, I believe you all understand that the main reason why we have been able to achieve such dazzling results is that we have been non-stop advertising for more than a month. ”

When Chen Geng said this, she immediately understood what her boss meant, and immediately took over the words, saying: "Boss is right, and according to the general sales law of the computer product market, the next month will be the peak sales period of Windows2.0, and then the sales curve will go all the way down."

So, every day for the next month, every day for the next month, is very important for data research companies! We need to take every day of the next month as the first day of Windows 2.0 on the market, and no one can relax!"

This bad guy has to do it himself, as for Mr. Fernandez?ahem...... How can a boss be a bad guy?

Chen Geng was very satisfied with Dolucy's reaction, and he glanced at Dolucy approvingly: "When this month is over, I promise that everyone will have a big surprise and a long vacation!"

Surprise?

Could it be a big red envelope?

The room full of executives suddenly became excited.

..................

After the meeting, Dorothy deliberately stayed: "Boss, there is a situation, I think I should tell you." ”

"Oh?" Chen Geng's brows furrowed slightly, could it be that there was any key situation in the company that he didn't know? But then, his brows quickly stretched out again, and he asked casually, "What's the situation?"

"I think we were a little conservative in our sales estimates," Dorothy said. ”

This is it?

Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?"

After all, Chen Geng actually felt that his previous estimate of sales was a bit conservative.

"The economy is on the upswing. ”

"Our previous goal of selling 1 million units of Windows 2.0 a year was based on the sales of microcomputers in the last three years, but since this year, the impact of the oil crisis on the economy has become less and less, especially Mr. Reagan's Stimulated by this series of good news, Star Wars' plan to support the high-tech industry has sold more than 2.2 million microcomputers in North America last year, and we have set a goal of selling 1 million units of Windows 2.0 a year based on this.

But since the beginning of this year, the growth rate of the microcomputer market has been significantly higher than the growth rate of GDP, and now it is only the third quarter, the total sales of microcomputers in the United States have reached 2 million units, and if the major enterprises increase their promotional efforts at the end of the year, the annual sales are even expected to exceed 3 million units......

At this point, Dorocy stopped talking.

Chen Geng understood what she meant, in fact, after the sales of Windows2.0 came out on the same day, Chen Geng himself was aware of this problem, and immediately woke up to the problem: at the beginning of the year, the entire computer industry thought that the sales of microcomputers in North America this year were about 2.2 million to 2.4 million units, but now there are still several months before the Chinese New Year, and the sales of microcomputers have exceeded 2 million units.

And the point is,This year is the second day of the official sale of Windows2.0,That is to say,It will not be a whole year until this time next year,So the question is,Next year,North America and even the world,How many microcomputers can be sold? A slightly more optimistic estimate,About 3.5 million units should not be a big problem, right?

Although there are also pirated @ versions of Windows on the market, some users even directly install the pirated @ version of the CM/P system in order to save money, plus Apple's microcomputers sell well...... But even in this case, it is assumed that 3.5 million microcomputers could be sold worldwide in the next year from now.

Of course, considering that the mainstream products of microcomputers sold on the market are still equipped with Intel 8088 and 80286 models, and even some low-end models are still using Intel 8086, Motorola Z6800 and zilogZ80 chips, these low-end models can't run Windows 2.0 at all, and can only use CM/ P and Windows 1.0, but even so, Windows 2.0 sales should be able to reach 1.2 million to 1.5 million units, and from this point of view, the previous estimate is indeed too conservative.

"So...... What do you think?"

"Increase the promotion efforts," Dorocy breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The other thing is to contact Intel and ask them to reduce the price of 80386 and 80286 chips, and mainly promote 80386 and 80286." ”
