Chapter 133 Let’s Fight and Play Big
Thinking about the conversation with Mr. Wu and others that day.
"This is a vent, a vent that's powerful enough to propel the new network to great heights."
Pan Yinian's eyes became brighter and brighter.
What is the biggest advantage of their new Internet cafe?
It’s the installed capacity, it’s the terminal.
In this era when computers are still rare, 5 computers is definitely a huge number.
Moreover, this number will continue to grow.
By the end of the year, a minimum of 15 or 20 yuan is not a
Next year, the minimum revenue will exceed 50, and we look forward to 100 million.
Although, this number is insignificant compared to the current situation in Europe and the United States.
However, it is enough to serve as a testing ground, giving domestic systems an opportunity to grow and make mistakes.
The most important thing is that it is now 98.
Computers are a rarity in this era.
There are not many computing formulas available in the country as a whole.
It is even rarer for a family to own a computer.
and,
The W98 system has just been launched and has a lot of vulnerabilities.
At the press conference, a blue screen phenomenon also occurred.
Now, the W series system is still a teenager who needs to grow up, and is far from being comparable to the future system overlord.
Whether in China or around the world, the user group has not developed the habit of using the W system.
Let’s put it bluntly.
This is a piece of virgin land that has not been developed.
Whoever can get in first will get a piece of the cake.
Coupled with its rebirth advantage, domestic systems may not be able to compete with the W series or even the I series, or even dominate the system market and form their own ecosystem...
Unconsciously, Pan Yinian's breathing became more and more rapid, and his cheeks turned red.
"Calm down, be sure to calm down."
Ignoring everyone's astonishment, Pan Yinian took two deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.
The future is bright, yes.
but……
Can his small new network handle it?
Moreover, the wind is so strong that it can kill the new network if you are not careful.
The key is:
Why should I be your scapegoat?
……
Looking at Pan Yinian, whose expression kept changing but he never spoke.
Ji Yunchang became anxious.
"My dear, to be honest, you can develop internet cafe management software and even developed a new server architecture. You must understand how serious the current situation is."
"We are already several steps behind others in the computer field. If we don't work harder, we will be at the mercy of others in the future."
"Take the computer systems for example. Everywhere you look, they're all foreign products."
"To put it bluntly, this is like doing business on someone else's territory. If they're happy, they'll give you a meal. But if they're unhappy, they can overturn the table at any time and make us lose all our money."
"So, we must take this lifeline into our own hands."
"Don't worry. I promise you that my team and I will absolutely consider the interests of the new company and will not let your interests be harmed..."
"Just let us give it a try, okay?"
Looking at Ji Yunchang's sincere and almost pleading words, Qin Qin felt a little bit sorry for him and poked Pan Yinian with her finger.
At some point, Uncle Pei, who appeared outside the negotiation room, couldn't help but open his mouth, wanting to go in and ask Pan Yinian to help Ji Yunchang. At worst, his franchise store in the capital would lose money to gain publicity.
Even the customers and original parts suppliers who came over quietly to eavesdrop felt a little bit sorry for what was happening.
This is 98.
This is the era that makes people love and hate it.
Some people, for their own selfish interests, cheat and deceive, lose all conscience, and sell out national interests.
There are also some people who have an obsession with their country that cannot be understood by later generations, and are so selfless that they are willing to sacrifice their own interests.
Pan Yinian took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, avoided the gazes of everyone in the negotiation room, gave Qin Qin a reassuring gesture, and then slowly looked up.
However, the person he was looking at was not Ji Yunchang, but Zhou Nan.
"Mr. Zhou, I have a question for you."
Zhou Nan, "Please speak."
"Is this Mr. Zhang's personal wish, or is it a collective decision made by one of your senior executives?" Pan Yinian narrowed his eyes slightly, with unspeakable coldness and anger in his eyes.
Is this young boss angry?
Thinking about the previous quarrels between Pan Yinian and Liu Qing, and even the words he used to criticize him, Zhou Nan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mr. Pan, don't be angry. Our senior management definitely don't have this idea, and we will never joke about the interests of our customers." At this point, Zhou Nan frowned and looked at Ji Yunchang.
"Mr. Ji, although you are the chief engineer, I am the person in charge of this bidding. Why did you make the decision without consulting me? Moreover, the senior management of the group has already vetoed the system development. Why are you still acting so egocentrically?"
Zhou Nan spoke very rudely.
A few years ago, he didn't even have the qualifications to speak in front of Ji Yunchang.
But now, Ji Yunchang is just an old man who is about to be kicked out.
Don't even mention contradicting you.
As long as we can successfully get this order and let Liu Xiangxi completely take over Mou Xiang, what does it matter even if he points at your nose and scolds you?
Qin Qin was a little angry when she saw this.
Even the people eavesdropping outside thought Zhou Nan was going too far.
Liu Qing just glanced at Ji Yunchang with disdain and a bit of disgust.
It's like the petty bourgeoisie who thinks they have lofty vision is looking at an obstinate old man.
But Pan Yinian's eyes lit up.
really……
Since you don't know the value of it, don't blame me for being rude.
Damn it, give it a try.
This time, I'm going to try my best.
Pan Yinian glanced at the representatives from Peking University and Tsinghua University sitting outside drinking tea, and the anxious Mr. Pei standing at the door. Pan Yinian gritted his teeth, turned his head to look at Ji Yunchang, and said with a cruel heart, "Mr. Ji, since you told me the truth, I will tell you a few words of truth too. Please tell me if I am right."
Ji Yunchang was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"I'll just ask three questions."
"First, profit."
"Why should I use a sophisticated, ready-made system instead of a half-baked one riddled with bugs and customer complaints, and then just watch helplessly as customers walk into someone else's internet cafe and let them make money?"
“Second, the prospects.”
"According to authoritative international statistics, there are currently approximately 1.5 million computer terminals worldwide. Of these, 1.2 million are in Europe and the United States; 2000 million are in Oceania and the four Asian Tigers; and the remaining countries have around 1000 million. In China, there are only a little over 400 million, of which only 200 million are used by individuals and internet cafes."
"We are a country with the largest population in the world, but we have the lowest ratio of computers to population."
"What does this mean?"
"The country is poor, the people are poor, and they simply can't afford this stuff."
"To put it nicely, the market has great potential; to put it bluntly, it's a pie in the sky that you'll never be able to eat."
"Even in 10, 20, or 30 years, we won't be able to catch up with Europe and the United States."
"In that case, for the sake of a mere few million computers, you're developing something domestically produced, ignoring the European and American markets, and even offending European and American industry giants, causing them to suppress you. Isn't that stupid?"
"Third, Europe and the United States are at the forefront of science and technology and the capital of freedom. What we need to do is to work hard to cater to Europe and the United States and let them accept us, rather than being complacent and worrying about the future."
"Mr. Ji, your idea is beautiful, but it is too detached from reality and too unrealistic..."
Pan Yinian looked at Ji Yunchang's increasingly ugly face, suppressed his nausea, and madly praised Europe and the United States, while slandering Ji Yunchang against his conscience.
Ji Yunchang's expression became increasingly ugly.
Zhou Nan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Liu Qing nodded slightly, feeling that Pan Yinian could still be saved, at least he was very clear about the current situation.
But isn’t that what it is?
How big is the domestic market? How much money do Chinese people have?
Among these poor and unsophisticated Chinese people, how many of them can understand computers?
The only way out is to align with the West.
Unfortunately, this kid comes from a poor family and has little experience. He can't be compared with those kids in the imperial capital compound.
However, at least, half of the purpose of her trip was achieved.
As soon as someone finally wins the bid, she will take Su Ying away from Jinling and go straight to Peking University and Tsinghua University.
"you……"
Ji Yunchang's cheeks turned red with anger.
He had previously thought that this kid might be an important figure who could change the future of the domestic computer industry.
But now, he realized that this kid was a short-sighted, profit-seeking guy.
Seeing Ji Yunchang, he could hold his nerve.
Pan Yinian gritted his teeth and said something even more unpleasant, "Mr. Ji, let me be frank. We're all using our hard-earned money to run this business. Why should we be guinea pigs and pay for your so-called ideals?"
"Are we stupid? Or are we brainless?"
"Are you noble, or are you superior to others?"
"I'm making this clear today. We're not going to be guinea pigs! Even if it's free, we won't take it!"
