Chapter 422 420. Is Boss Cao still a normal human?

After this wave of Olympic Games, "Minecraft" has broken through the sky, becoming the peak of domestic games' sales, and also becoming a miracle in the history of world games.

In more than two months, the sales volume of "Minecraft" reached as much as 120 million, and countless peers were so envious that their eyes turned red.

"Boss Cao is really a god. He can actually think of such a powerful game that can be combined with the Olympics. This creativity and layout are simply... Looking around the world, which company can do this?"

"Bomie Company played this move very well."

"This can only say that they plan ahead and have long thought about making such a game, otherwise how could such a coincidence happen?"

"Yes, from the perspective of foresight, Boss Cao is simply terrifying, as if he is not a normal human."

"All the richest man in the world, can he still be a normal human?"

...

"Boss Cao is so amazing. This design is simply amazing and looks so good."

At the same time, in the mobile equipment manufacturing department of Wuhan Bomi Company, people are discussing the new products developed by Bomi Company-

Bomi's first laptop.

This G series laptop has a shell made of magnesium-aluminum alloy, with streamlined appearance lines, and the touch and keyboard feel are very comfortable. From the appearance, it is at least more than one level higher than the laptops on the market.

G series notebooks have many different configurations and colors. The most classic one is the silver-gray color that is being displayed now. From the appearance, this laptop is simply a work of art.

Moreover, according to Cao Yang's requirements, the first laptop developed by Bomi Company was made relatively thin and was processed in the highest-end way in many processes and spare parts.

The spare parts were compressed to the lightest and thinnest. This was mainly due to the previous development of Bomi's smartphones, thus establishing a supply chain on a series of micro-end products.

Cao Yang was listening to Liu Qiang's report in the conference room, and was preparing for the upcoming autumn product launch of Bomi Company.

This autumn product launch conference should be the first time in Bomi's history that it has held a fall conference. It mainly targets Bomi's newly developed business in hardware, and does not include the content on the software.

Unless it is a very heavyweight software or software technology innovation, it will be put on the product launch conference for publicity.

The company's games will have additional press conferences to report to the public.

Autumn press conferences are something that many hardware manufacturers do every year, such as Apple, which holds spring and autumn press conferences every year.

The main purpose is to promote the company's new products and prepare and promote sales in the coming year.

The second is to maintain high popularity. Even if it may not be released in the second year, it is also to show some of the technologies and content that were completed in the middle to let the world know what we are doing recently and what we will do in the future.

Otherwise, with the development technology of major hardware manufacturers, how can it be changed every year and updated every year?

Users' replacement speed is not that fast.

Although Apple is advertising every year, the cycle of real technological change is about 5 years.

At the same time, in order to enable the company to launch new products and new functions every year, when the new model comes out, the final product will not be announced at the beginning, but will first release the castration version and then add some more every year.

Now Bomi is preparing for the autumn press conference.

This autumn press conference is not about castration versions, squeezing toothpaste bit by bit, but about new things to be announced.

Among them, the most concerning thing is the [laptop business] that Cao Yang said last year

"We have prepared different products from multiple series," said Liu Qiang. "The G series is a positioning gaming laptop, and the graphics card is relatively strong. The width of the graphics memory is 128BIT, and it uses Nvidia's 9600GSO."

"The N series is a starting application, and the graphics card is an entry-level graphics card with a 64BIT bit width.

The J series positioning business book is relatively constrained and low-key in appearance and moderate in configuration. There is nothing outstanding about it mainly for stable work.

The B series is also a business book, but compared with the J series, it is a low-end grade. The J series mostly uses aluminum-magnesium alloys, and the B series is plastic.

The H series is positioned as a cost-effective family all-purpose book. You can tell from the graphics card that the entry level is cheap.

The L series is a thin, portable, compact APU that uses AMD.”

"This time we are focusing on G series laptops." Liu Qiang said, "so they are equipped with relatively high-end CPUs, graphics cards, and memory.

As a gaming laptop, we offer two different models: 13.3 inches and 15.4 inches.”

Multi-series synchronous design and development are an inevitable choice, but there will be a sequence of processes to complete. Now Liu Qiang is only showing a prototype.

Overall, except for the appearance design of the G series notebook, the others are basically not their own.

However, in this market, how many computer manufacturers can have the ability to independently develop their own products?

Lenovo Group is also doing assembly work.

However, the appearance design alone is enough to make Bomi's personal laptop business stand out.

Because even a person like Liu Qiang who doesn’t know much about aesthetics, he thought it was so beautiful at first sight when he saw the mold designed by Boss Cao.

It's simply n levels higher than today's laptops.

Liu Qiang himself definitely couldn't design it.

On the spot, Liu Qiang used the newly developed G series, which was also the first assembled laptop of Bomi Company, to demonstrate the game "God of War·Wukong".

As a new generation of graphics card killers, "God of War·Wukong" has no unblocked computers with average performance as long as they can drive to high-end devices.

This is also considered that Bomi Company has optimized quite well, otherwise it would be as high as other games if it were the same card, which would not be as high as "God of War Wukong".

It is estimated that the physical effect will start to get stuck when it reaches half of the "God of War·Wukong".

"But the performance of laptops is definitely slightly worse than that of PCs of the same price." Liu Qiang said, "and the fan cooling of our computer has never been very good."

"Then our biggest advantage is the appearance design and cost-effectiveness," said Cao Yang.

"Yes." Liu Qiang nodded.

"How much does this G1 laptop cost now?" Cao Yang asked.

Bomi Company's naming of laptops is different from that of laptops on the market. According to Cao Yang's idea, it still follows a simple and easy-to-understand model.

Otherwise, users will feel that it is too big just by looking at the relevant models.

For example, the naming method of Shenzhou computers in the previous life was to use size + graphics card + CPU architecture + graphics card architecture + CPU positioning + mold + storage solution.

For example: Z7M-CU5NB.

I know what this model means?

It is difficult to read and hard to remember. And in the process of purchasing, if you remember a letter or number incorrectly, it will lead to a completely different thing you buy.

If you want to buy Z7M-CU5NB but accidentally buy Z7-CU5NB or buy G7-CU5NB, it must be a different configuration product.

The naming rules of smartphones are relatively simple. For example, the first generation of smartphones sold by Bomi is called Bomi 1 and the second generation of Bomi 2.

Microphones, the first generation of Micron 1 and the second generation of Micron 2, are different in configurations, just pay a little attention when choosing.

Laptops are now based on this set. G series and GAME represent games. Bomi's G1 is the company's first generation gaming laptop, but if you subdivided it, users only need to check the relevant configuration information when purchasing, and don't buy it wrong.

The appearance looks similar.

The biggest difference in this series is that the hard disk and screen size are the same, so it will be much more convenient for users to purchase.

"We chose the world's top supply chain," Liu Qiang said, looking at the list in his hand, "but because our market and business scale are relatively large, we can minimize the price during the negotiation process, so the cost is a little lower than that of Lenovo's level, but not much lower.

The CPU plus graphics card costs 1,000 yuan, and the solid-state drive costs 128G for 360 yuan... If you use a mechanical hard drive, the same size can be half the cheaper.

According to the highest configuration, the total cost of our G1 laptop 128G solid-state drive configuration is about 2,060 yuan."

The laptop is similar to a smartphone. The most expensive hardware is the CPU, the graphics card, and the hard disk. Among the remaining spare parts, the motherboard may be worth a little money. Now, Bomi's G1 laptop computer is designed by itself. Because it needs to match the laptop mold, the cost is cheaper than on the market.

The shell and motherboard are about 300 yuan, and the CPU and the best laptop graphics card are 1,000 yuan. The solid-state hard drive depends on the user's choice, ranging from 360 yuan to 500 yuan, so the mess is almost 2,000 yuan.

If the subsequent packaging, transportation, operation and after-sales service are added, the cost of each laptop is about 2,500 yuan.

For gaming laptops with the same performance, Lenovo will sell for more than 8,000 yuan.

So the profit margin is still very large.

To put it bluntly, the biggest selling point is the brand, then the design, and finally the price of parts.

For consumers, the most valuable thing is design.

So compared to desktops, a desktop that costs 2,600 yuan to assemble is sold for more than 6,000 yuan if it is converted into a personal laptop.

In addition to the portability of the notebook itself, most of the things you buy are worth the brand.

Brand value is a comprehensive reflection. If more people are used, it will naturally increase. Moreover, after-sales service and related compensation are better than ordinary ones. This is why the brand sells more expensively.

In addition, it is very important that the laptop has a high appearance. Many people think that the performance of laptops is not as good as that of desktop computers. The reason why they buy it is mainly because it looks, which is enough to let themselves take it out and show off, making them look particularly face-saving.

After the display, Cao Yang discussed the pricing issue with Liu Qiang and the general manager of the operation department.

The manager of the operations department recommends that the pricing be higher.

"As our company's first laptop, I think it should be ordered at a higher price so that it can have a brand effect," said Zhong Wei, operations manager. "On the one hand, users who buy laptops actually have defaulted that the performance of laptops is not as good as desktop computers, and what they buy is just a face.

Lower prices will make them lose face

What's more, with Shenzhou Computer in front, everyone has a bad impression of cheap laptops. They think that they are cheap and have no good products. We sell them more expensively. Instead, they think that this thing is of high quality and is in line with the brand image of Bomi Company."

"Um……"

Cao Yang thought, "Yes, just follow your thoughts."

He used to think that he should find a balance between Lenovo and Shenzhou, enter and create the most cost-effective laptop. However, after listening to the operation manager's analysis, Cao Yang felt that what he said was still reasonable.
