Li Xiucheng didn't know that he had been labeled a harmful person. He was asking about Sun Xuming's new company.
"How's it going? Is the project making progress?"
Sun Xuming stood upright and answered seriously: "The last beta version of the membership system has been completed and is being tested in thirty branches in Shencheng.
It has been almost ten days now and there are no obvious bugs that affect the use. Some minor problems reported back to the headquarters have been corrected by programmers.
These will be corrected in the official version. "
"Where's the key data link interface? Are there any left?"
"Yes, this is what I focus on supervising. In the future, as long as the network is opened, data connectivity can be achieved by directly turning on the corresponding functions, but that requires setting up a data server first.
It will be a big expense! "
"These are little things."
Li Xiucheng waved his hand nonchalantly. The problem of money is really not a problem for Yongxing Supermarket.
With hundreds of millions of dollars invested by Sanye Xionger and Liying Group, the Wumart supermarket chain has expanded its stores significantly in just over a year, and now has more than 600 stores.
But even such a large investment is still unable to match the store expansion speed of Yongxing Supermarket.
Why?
Because the monthly turnover of Yongxing Supermarket is now as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, and the remaining balance of goods has always been around 300 million yuan!
According to the previous contract, the reserved funds were settled by Jinxiu Group on behalf of the group in order to leave a capital chain for the group in case of emergency.
Now the group has no use for it, but has invested in supermarket expansion first.
Yao Jinshan had not deceived San Ye Xiong Er before. At the beginning of the year, Yongxing Supermarket had expanded its stores nationwide to thousands!
A few servers are not a problem.
"What about other projects? How is the progress?"
"The game department's Tetris and Snake have been produced and packaged into floppy disks. I don't dare to stock too many, only 100,000 copies! It won't be too late to follow up once the follow-up effect is good."
"It's just a trial sale in Southeast Asia. One hundred thousand copies are enough."
"As for the Pinyin and Wubi input methods, we also have samples, but there is one thing that is quite important." Sun Xuming said in a calm tone.
"What?"
"Xiangxiang Group has launched the 586 microcomputer and has begun to put it on the market. Currently, it has received a large number of orders because of its small size and low price.
In addition, IBM announced the establishment of a personal computer department, and their ThinkPad system products have been officially approved to enter the country.
We have bought a prototype, and I have to say that this laptop is really compact and easy to use. In addition to being too expensive, customer feedback on the usage is also very good. "
"What? Are you less confident?" Li Xiucheng looked at him and said with a smile.
"Of course not!" Sun Xuming immediately shook his head and explained: "Mr. Li, you have said before that the domestic market is huge and they will never be able to capture it.
It's just that we haven't even decided on the product yet, and we can't make much money just by making software, so I'm a little anxious. "
Another point is that although he is indeed more interested in computer companies than communications companies, there are obviously more pioneers in the personal computer industry than in the communications industry.
And the most important point is that the pager project was almost entirely managed by Li Xiucheng and completed all key nodes.
He is just an enforcer.
This made him feel somewhat regretful, thinking that he could prove himself in the new company and new projects.
But now I see that others have succeeded and my company has not achieved any results yet. It would be a lie to say that I am not in a hurry.
"Mr. Li, how about we start making personal computers like a certain group?"
In order to make his words more convincing, he took a document from his subordinates and said: "Mr. Li, in fact, after our research, we found that the computer of a certain group is really not that great, and those accessories are all imported.
It is simply worse than our original pager. Except for the Chinese translation system, there is really no difficulty at all.
As long as we are given half a year, no, two months, we can make an identical product. "
After speaking, he looked at Li Xiucheng expectantly.
With the advent of the Intel 586 Pentium processor, the computing speed of microcomputers has been greatly improved, and the era of personal computers has officially arrived!
Of course Li Xiucheng knew this. This was one of the reasons why he asked Sun Xuming to organize Jinxiu Information. Although the lead was taken by a certain idea, it was not too late to get on board now.
However, if you manufacture computers based on a certain product, doesn't that make your company look a little inferior?
Li Xiucheng glanced at the few employees who were standing nearby and did not dare to speak, and said loudly: "It can be done, but we have to design better products ourselves.
Although I think I am number one, it is not up to them whether I can secure the number one position in the market.
"Yes, we at Jinxiu are not vegetarians."
Several staff members laughed in a dignified manner. Sun Xuming got his wish and was very happy.
"Mr. Li, I will go back and arrange the experts first!"
"Just let your subordinates handle those trivial matters. Don't be in a hurry to go back. First, go to Professor Zhou of the Capital Research Institute to talk about the CPU."
"What's wrong with the CPU?"
Sun Xuming was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the chips supplied by the institute had helped a lot with arcade machines and pagers. In terms of chip technology, they seemed to be only a step behind foreign advanced products.
It is completely sufficient for arcade machines and pagers with low computing requirements.
But personal computer CPU....
This requires very high computing power.
Thinking of this, he widened his eyes, looked at Li Xiucheng and carefully asked: "Mr. Li, do you want us to use domestic cores?"
Li Xiucheng shook his head. Computer cores and pager cores are different.
After two years of hard work, the institute's photolithography machine accuracy has reached 0.8 microns, but it is still far behind the 586's 0.6 microns.
Moreover, only a few units of the finished product have been supplied for work, which is only enough to produce chips for arcade machines and pagers.
But these things cannot be said in front of too many people. Li Xiucheng pulled him aside and said: "Although it is a little worse, the chips produced are not unusable.
You can talk to Professor Zhou about this first. If he guarantees that he can produce a 0.6 micron lithography machine within the year, then I can start building a chip factory, even if the performance of the chips produced will be worse than Intel's.
But it will definitely be more advantageous in terms of price. In this way, our products can be divided into two series. Pentium U is high-end, and domestic U occupies the low-end market, which also has its own home field advantage. "
The most important thing is that in this way, the research and development of etching machines and photolithography machines can be regarded as profitable, and it can also reduce the burden of the group's R&D investment. You must know that the two companies have burned 600 million yuan in the past few years.
