"Director Zhao, Great Wall Computer plans to go on the market on May 8th. This time they have monopolized the production of PengHanka 1.0 and will go on the market one month ahead of schedule. This disrupts our plan. We also go on the market on April 18th."
"Deng Gong, we did not pre-install PengHanka1.0, will it be affected?"
"Director Zhao, the impact is definitely inevitable. I called Manager Zhang. The Kunpeng Software Building in Jiangcheng has been capped and is being renovated day and night. Mass production will begin on May 1st and can produce 15,000 pieces of PengHanka1 a month. 0, it will be available to us in early June, and we tell customers who purchase in advance that PengHanka 1.0 will be pre-installed at their doorsteps by the end of June.”

"Wang Zhi is ruthless enough. Vice President Wang needs to send more people to urge the salesmen to work harder and go to various units carrying four-way typewriters."
Wang Angshi, the company's vice president in charge of sales, reported that only 327 MS-2400 units were sold in March, which did not reach 20% of the planned sales volume and dropped 80% from February. Wan Younan was worried. Years ago, in August At the six-year summary meeting, he encouraged the company's employees to continue their efforts in 1987 and complete the sales of 25,000 units of MS-2400 and MS-2401. The company's total turnover reached 500 million yuan and the profit was 50 million yuan. It is very possible. Disillusioned.
Seventy percent of Sitong's main business and 90% of its profits come from printers, and the rest comes from electronic components and Sitong Network Engineering Company. MS-2400 has brought huge financial resources to the company. Once the sales of MS-2400 drop sharply, it will have a negative impact on Sitong. The company was dealt a devastating blow.
This will have a huge impact on the image of Mr. Wan, who is the boss of the company and has a lot of money. When he saw the first sentence of the advertisement for the Great Wall 286 advanced computer, he looked gloomy and wanted to tear up the Computer World newspaper.
Since the announcement that PengHanka 1.0 will be launched in April, the three major domestic computer companies and Yanda New Technology Company have added fuel to the fire. In addition, foreign computer giants have gone to Kunpeng Software Company to reserve PengHanka 1.0. It has not yet been launched. The annual production volume has been bought out. If you have money, you can't buy PengHanka 1.0 at home, but you can only buy one piece through a letter of introduction from your employer. This has attracted the attention of everyone in the industry.
More than a month has passed, and hundreds of PengHanka 1.0 have been tested on computers in scientific research institutes and government departments around the world. They can quickly type Chinese without a Chinese typewriter, and can also edit and typeset. Triers are running around telling each other that they have Employees of the computer unit have asked their leaders to allocate funds to order. As long as they have a letter of introduction from the unit, they can buy one at their doorstep.
In early April, Professor Wang Dongping, director of the Software Experimental Research Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, published an article in "Computer World" titled "With computers, there is no need for a Chinese typewriter." He used his own experience to objectively evaluate the performance of PengHanka1.0. Making Chinese typing and editing a simple matter is of epoch-making significance in the development of the computer industry and will make a huge contribution to the popularization of domestic personal computers. It is predicted that Chinese typewriters will dominate the domestic market in the near future. disappear! He also suggested that Jiangcheng Kunpeng Software Company concentrate its human and financial resources to develop a Chinese version of WPS1.0 based on Kunpeng Computer Typing Pass 1.0.
After the relevant employees and leaders of scientific research institutes and government departments who planned to purchase computers and MS-2400 read this article, the leaders sent employees with letters of introduction from their units to Jiangcheng Kunpeng Software Company to purchase PengHanka1.0. After testing it on the computer, Immediately stop purchasing MS-2400 and wait for the Great Wall 286 computer with PengHanka1.0 pre-installed to be launched, or buy a computer and install PengHanka1.0 purchased with a letter of introduction. The sales of MS-2400 on the market plummeted.
Wang Angshi was very anxious when he saw the sales results of MS-2400 in March.
President Wan Younan, Vice President Shen Mingjun and Chief Engineer Wang Jizhi also predicted that the launch of the Great Wall 286 computer with PengHanka1.0 pre-installed would have an adverse impact on the sales of the best-selling MS-2400 and the upcoming MS-2401. , but they did not expect that the impact would be so big and come so quickly, and they cast doubt on the prospects of the newly established Sino-Japanese joint venture at the end of February.
In order to further take advantage of the country's preferential policies, Stone Company and Mitsui & Co. established a Sino-Japanese joint venture Stone Office Equipment Co., Ltd. in Beijing with a total investment of one million US dollars. Stone accounted for 75% and Mitsui & Co. Twenty-five percent, the MS-2401 production line was moved from Japan to China to reduce costs and gradually achieve localization. Duan Yongji was appointed as general manager, Wang Jizhi was appointed as deputy general manager and chief engineer, and Mitsui & Co. Chun He and Xi Jianming serve as deputy general managers.
Stone Company's goal this year is to achieve sales of 500 million yuan and profit of 50 million yuan. The sales plan of MS-2400 and MS-2401, which account for 90% of the total profit, is 25,000 units, with sales of more than 2,000 units per month. tower.
"Okay, Mr. Wan!"
"Xiao Duan, can MS-2401 be launched in advance?"
MS-2401 has simple text editing and typesetting functions, and its performance far exceeds MS-2400.
"Mr. Wan, according to the production plan formulated by the company, it will be listed on May 16, the third anniversary of the company's establishment."
Duan Yongji suddenly discovered that Wan Younan, who usually had a well-thought-out and calm attitude when faced with shocks, was also unsure of what to do.
"Wang Gong, when will the four-way Hanka 1.0 developed by the development department be launched?"
Wan Younan also felt too impatient.
"Mr. Wan, according to the development plan of Hanka hardware and WPS, it is expected that it will be developed by the end of August. However, there are many uncertain factors in the development of the software. We still need to find manufacturers to produce Hanka hardware. The actual launch will probably be by the end of the year."
Although using the hardware of Lenovo Hanka and Kunpeng Hanka as reference, Wang Jiyi encountered difficulties in developing a unique circuit board, but he was still able to overcome it. Six programmers including Sun Qian, Qiu Gang and Wang Dong We have been busy for two weeks, and the WPS code we wrote has obvious traces of Kunpeng Computer Typing Assistant 1.0. He rejected it and started over. Otherwise, if we continue writing, it will be an upgraded version of Kunpeng Computer Typing Assistant, which an expert can understand at a glance. If plagiarism is discovered, Jiangcheng Kunpeng Software Company may sue Mr. Wan and his lifelong innocence.
"Wang Gong, tell the comrades in the development department that Sitong Hanka 1.0 is a matter of life and death for the company. Everyone must have a sense of urgency and play the spirit of ownership."
"Okay, Mr. Wan!"
