Chapter 442: I'm optimistic about you
"An assistant to Miss Rosemary?" said Dorocy's eyes were full of surprise.
She is not stupid, the moment Chen Geng talked about it, she immediately understood what was going on: first she worked as an assistant to Miss Rosemary for a period of time, and then maybe she would have to take charge of herself, the worst and the worst, and it was very likely that she would take over Garrett 2000.
Thinking of this, Dorothy trembled with excitement.
"It's good if you understand," Chen Geng made a "don't be impatient" gesture to her: "For this computer, I tend to build a ...... with Intel's 80188 chip as the core."
Chen Geng knows that the COU used in IBM5150 is Intel8088, as a small improvement and upgrade model of 8088, although the price of 80188 is a little more expensive, but the performance has also been slightly improved, but since it is to fight with IBM5150, it should be a little stronger in performance.
After some discussion, the basic architecture of this computer, which does not even have a code name and is still in words, was determined:
The CPU uses Intel 80188, with B memory and can be upgraded to a maximum of 256KB, using a dual floppy drive design, one of which is responsible for running a visual desktop operating system that integrates "CP/M + 'Windows + trackball'", and the other is responsible for running various programs, in addition, tape can be used as a data recording carrier.
Multiple expansion ports are natively designed on the motherboard, and users can flexibly install a variety of boards for different purposes according to their needs to improve the performance of the computer...... In addition, this feature has also become the main factor in the popularity of this computer after it was launched, because no computer manufacturer has done this before, and the stingy Apple is even so stingy that even the memory is directly soldered to the motherboard.
But compared with the hardware configuration of this computer, the design of the appearance and shape is what makes the Chiwetel Ejiofor and Kiridaire couple almost bite their tongues out the most, unlike the current personal computer's stupid and stupid shape that integrates the mainframe, monitor and keyboard, Chen Geng directly moved out the mainstream shape of the computer more than ten years later: vertical main chassis, independent display, external keyboard and trackball.
Compared with this delicate computer like a luxury appliance, the previous computer was simply stupid and unbearable.
"If this computer can't be sold, I'll go naked!"
Looking at the renderings given by Chen Geng, Chewat Ejioo, his eyes flashed green, and he said impatiently: "Boss, according to your meaning, it is to be put on sale before August, I am sure that I can come up with a scientific and reasonable technical plan for the whole machine before August, but such a short time is not enough for us to build a factory......"
Before Chiwetel Ejiofor's words were finished, Chen Geng waved his hand: "I don't plan to build a factory. โ
Not planning to build a factory?!
Chen Geng's answer made Chiwet, Ejiofor and Kiridaire and his wife all dumbfounded: how can it be produced without a factory?
Or did Dorcy react a little faster, and was the first to react: "Boss, what do you mean...... Looking for a professional foundry company to do OEM for us?"
In the seventies and eighties in the United States, the foundry industry was very developed, especially those manpower-intensive industries, almost without exception there are professional foundry enterprises, and the electronics industry as a typical manpower-intensive industry, there are countless well-known electronic foundry enterprises, Jabil, Flextronics, Asahi Electric, Xinmeiya and other well-known electronic foundry enterprises are developed with the help of this wave of global electronic technology development...... Well, except for New America, this company was just founded last year.
"Hmm," Chen Geng nodded, "What do you think?"
"I think it's good," although at first, Dorocy was a little unaccustomed to her boss's whimsical ideas, but now that she came back to her senses, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her boss's idea was simply a stroke of genius: "No, it's very good! At present, there is no better way to control the quality of products and meet our production capacity needs than to let the foundry help us OEM." โ
After all, according to the boss just now, his goal is to sell 100,000 units a year, an electronics factory with an annual output of 100,000 personal computers, how big a company should it be?
Chen Geng smiled and nodded, there are still things that Lucy didn't expect, such as the price advantage and bargaining power of the foundry to get the goods from the raw material supplier are incomparable to themselves, and let the foundry give the foundry, the cost of a single machine may be much lower than that of their own production;
For example, if the supply process of the foundry goes wrong, you will be ruthless to the other party according to the contract, but if your own factory goes wrong...... If the board hits his own child's ass, the father will feel distressed, right?
"That'...... Who are you going to do the OEM?", Dorocy asked cautiously.
"Whoever gives better conditions will let him do the OEM. โ
PS: Brothers, please wait a few minutes.
