Chapter 1614： Kirin computer step 1

Zhong Chuhong came to Huajing, and now Yin Jun has already arrived in the United States.

March is the traditional American awards season.

It is also the most famous Oscar awarding season. If it does not count as an Oscar, in fact there are various film festivals throughout the year. In the future, domestic small stars often receive awards from these places.

Yin Jun may not go to the other awards ceremony, but Oscar wants to give face.

Then in the United States, Yin Jun also has a lot of affairs to resolve.

The first is to understand the promotion and sales of Kirin Computer.

In March now, the Kirin computer has completely collapsed with IBM.

These actions of the Kirin computer cannot conceal others.

They also don't want to hide people.

So IBM was keenly aware of their purpose, but it was suddenly furious.

The little guy who used to eat on his own had to rebel and set up a computer company to fight against himself. Is this okay?

So IBM not only withdrew the most favorable agency right for Kirin Computers, but also filed a complaint with the Federal Court, forbidding Kirin Computers to assemble and manufacture the computers by itself.

The reason is that they are using IBM's channels, and there is a suspicion of taking away users, which seriously infringes IBM's interests.

Baker Lee, the general manager of Kirin Computer, has no ambiguity. He has hired a law firm in the United States that is the best at this kind of lawsuit, and is ready to sue them.

Tang Shuxuan here is not idle, letting ABC TV station dig deeper into various scandals of IBM and broadcast one episode every day.

Just a week later, IBM's stock price plunged 22%, and many executives resigned and resigned. In addition, the chairman who retired last year was also called by the court and he was ready to talk to him.

Under such circumstances, how do you say IBM will pursue it?

The court's lawsuit was quietly cancelled after a bit of tweaking.

It is impossible to cooperate with Kirin Computer, but their spokesperson also announced that the two sides have reached a settlement.

Everyone with eyesight knows what this is all about.

No way, Rao is your blue giant who dominates the world of computer electronics and meets giants in the media industry.

Who makes others have the right to speak?

After removing this trouble, the propaganda of the Kirin computer became a little unscrupulous.

After so close to a year of development, and spending money to lay a sales and maintenance network, Kirin computers have spread throughout more than 20 major cities in the United States.

On weekdays, they are more powerful in advertising, so that everyone knows the "Kirin computer" brand.

Today, after stealing the beam and replacing the column, I took out the Kirin computer that I designed, and many computer users did not respond. This is Kirin Computer's own product.

That is IBM's complaint, so that everyone knows that Kirin Computer Company is starting from scratch.

It seems to people in the industry that this is nothing strange at all.

Backed by such a large company as Kirin Group, it has rich industry resources and does not want to do its own thing.

But in the eyes of computer users, it is somewhat new.

Is the computer really so easy to make?

The Kirin computer is only about a year old, and it is more than half a year to start selling IBM computers-in some places it has not been more than half a year, just two or three months.

Their after-sales maintenance service is very good. After a phone call, it is usually available within 5 hours of working hours, and it will not exceed three days at the latest.

If you send it to the maintenance department for repair, you will be notified that it has been repaired within two days at most, and you can take it back.

For the United States, known for its laziness, it is already flying at the same speed.

After all, in the US in 2020, the water pipe bursts for an appointment for repairs, and you have to wait at least three to five days, sometimes longer.

As for the courier, it will take longer, and it will not be slow to deliver it within one week.

For the purpose of after-sales service, many users did not sniff after seeing the advertisements of Kirin computers everywhere.

Then Kirin Computer also allows all users and potential users to go to their sales store to try out the performance of Kirin Computer.

In the past two years, private computer users in the United States and China have been in the first blowout era.

Even if it is not for their own improvement, and for their children to be exposed to high technology in the first time, parents are willing to buy it.

In the eyes of future generations, this most primitive computer is not cheap. The cheapest HP and Compaq computers are basically around $ 2,500, but the performance is still far from that of IBM and Apple.

The computers of IBM and Apple are indeed very good, but the price is not affordable by ordinary people.

Apple's latest high-profile computers cost up to $ 5,999, exactly the same as their virtues in later generations.

But there is exactly the same as the later generations, there are now many Apple brains. Residual fans, crying and shouting that they must buy Apple ’s best computer, and do n’t know why.

In contrast, IBM is kinder than Apple, with a low price of $ 3,000, a high price of $ 3500, and a maximum of $ 4,000.

However, there is another point. Apple comes with its own operating system. Other brands of computers do not have their own operating systems. You need to buy other operating systems before you can use them.

Of course, the first choice is Microsoft's Windows system, but the price of Microsoft's IN84 is not cheap, just a 800 US dollars.

In terms of operating system, Microsoft's Windows system is still the best and most convenient. It is easy for both adults and children to get started, and it is very easy to use.

But as a result, the cost of the entire computer has to rise again, and the cheapest one has to be $ 3300.

In this case, the first computer of Kirin Computer Company, coupled with Microsoft's operating system, shocked that the price was as low as 2999, which is indeed the conscience in the conscience.

As a result, many people took the time to go to the Kirin computer store to prepare to test the performance of this computer.

Starting from March, every Kirin computer store will receive more than 500 guests every day. By the weekend, this number will double again.

Both newspapers and television stations have reported this jaw-dropping grandeur.

Although it is a bit of a publicity stunt, it is true that so many people have arrived, resulting in a situation where the water is impassable.

One of the reasons for this situation is that there are not many Kirin computer stores. In big cities like New York, there are only 8 and some medium-sized cities, but only 3.

Compared with New York City's population of more than 20 million, other cities are mostly large cities with more than 5 million. The number of such stores is indeed not enough.

But this is already the most service outlet among all computer companies.

IBM only has one after-sales service outlet in New York. If you want to repair a computer, you have to wait at least a month or two.

This is why IBM was so happy after Kirin took over the after-sales maintenance work.

The price that Kirin Computer paid for this is that it recruited and trained more than 2,000 after-sales engineers in more than half a year.

The skills and standards of these people must have been uneven.

Baker Lee asked the old engineers to take the practice of training, on-site teaching those new graduates of relevant universities to promote their progress.

After so long maintenance, most of the engineers have been qualified.

After all, the computers of IBM and other computers are all produced in a modular manner. If something goes wrong, it can be replaced directly with a new one.

If it is really difficult, it is brought back to the maintenance department for maintenance, where there are more elaborate engineers on duty 24 hours a day, also teaching students while repairing, and the efficiency is very high.

For now, in March, there were more than 5,000 newly recruited apprentices with a certain foundation in electrical engineering.

After they learned it, they will be randomly assigned to the new city that Kirin Computer is about to develop, and continue to expand the sales and maintenance network of Kirin Computer.

In the face of the continuous flow of customers every day, every Kirin computer company with two floors has hundreds of Kirin computers, and every 5 computers will have a staff or an engineer who will come to help temporarily explain Answer questions.

Rao is so, they are busy all day, and they are directly paralyzed on the ground, they don't want to move.

Baker Lee can only give three times the salary as a reward, which makes them succumb to the powerful power of Franklin and work hard for more than 12 hours a day.

These busy times are naturally accomplished.

Usually everyone tries to control the Kirin computer and is very satisfied with the fluency, response, sound effects, various useful programs and so on.

Compared with IBM and Apple, there is still a gap, but compared with HP and Compaq, it seems to be slightly better.

And within two years, all non-man-made damage will be repaired by Kirin computers for free-the previous computer companies, the most repairs are just one year.

Such a price, such an experience, such a after-sales service, is already worth the money.

Not only that, Kirin Computer also joined the United States Citibank, launched a loan service for Citibank credit cards.

If the full payment was booked before the official launch in May, Kirin Computer helped to post the 6-stage handling fee and interest activities.

In other words, 6 installments are free.

In the future, Taobao or JD.com are very common promotional methods.

Generally, if people buy something and see a few free issues, once they are removed, they will not cost much every month, and they will immediately buy them directly-do n’t think about it, in fact, you give so much It ’s just that the bills have been distributed to several months, it seems to be less ~ www.novelhall.com ~ But in 1984, I have never seen it, especially for such a large-scale unlimited number of discount activities.

Originally the computer was $ 2,999, and the 6th period of free is only about $ 500 per month, which is very cost-effective.

The high interest of foreign credit cards is not something that we in China, who basically have not used credit cards, can understand.

Under normal circumstances, our credit card interest rate is around 8% -10% a year, which is basically cheaper than 10% -12% of the annual interest of 10% -12% of the loan. .

However, the average credit card interest rate in the US is 18%. If you encounter credit cards issued by some large chain stores, you can get an interest rate of 30% a year!

It's terrifying!

So Kirin Computer Co., in this way, is equivalent to helping users post about 300 interest money.

This benefit will still be counted into the expenses of well-planned housewives.

This is especially true for those young people.

Don't interest is equivalent to white flowers, so what's so good about it?

Get a card!

brush!

Therefore, in such a large half of the month, the total number of scheduled reservations has exceeded 36,000 units, almost reaching 40,000.

In terms of people's acceptance and demand for computers in this era, it is already a good number for the new thing of Kirin computer.

When Baker Lee reported to Yin Jun, he said that if the number of scheduled bookings exceeds 100,000 before the sale in May, it will be a great victory!

...

(Happy National Day Holidays to everyone! Thank you for your rewards, monthly tickets, recommended masters!)
