Boss Du felt a little angry when he heard this, but he felt that what these customers said did make sense.
The performance of carbon crystal hard drives is much higher than that of traditional mechanical hard drives. Even if the retail version is more expensive than mechanical hard drives of the same specification, it is definitely more cost-effective to buy carbon crystal hard drives.
Boss Du asked, "Then how much do you think the mechanical hard drive should be sold for?"
"The price should be at least half cheaper!"
It is half cheaper, that is, an 80g hard drive needs to buy four or five hundred yuan to meet the needs of consumers.
how can that be? !
Boss Du's purchase price is more than that.
At present, Xia Guo has not fully joined the WTO. The reason why the price of hard drives is expensive is that in addition to the original cost, the bulk of the sales price is tariffs.
To put it more bluntly, with an 80g mechanical hard drive, Boss Du can earn more than 100 yuan at most.
Boss Du was going to be angry, but after thinking about it, he felt that what the consumers said was indeed reasonable.
Carbon crystal hard drives will definitely dominate the future market. Since everyone can buy carbon crystal hard drives at almost the same price, why buy mechanical hard drives?
Now people in the entire industry know that carbon crystal hard drives will definitely be mass-produced in the future and will not be out of stock all the time.
Now that I have millions of mechanical hard drives in my hands, I can't sell them now, and it will be more difficult to sell them in the future.
Boss Du has been able to work hard in the computer hardware industry for so many years, and can make his own industry millions. Not only has his own way, but also has the acumen of the industry.
Boss Du made a decisive decision and sold the mechanical hard drive in his hand at a discount of 60 to 30 percent.
More than 1,000 80G hard drives were sold by Boss Du for 700 yuan.
At this price, Boss Du must be in a blood loss.
But there are benefits to selling at this price.
At least Boss Du can get his investment back in a very short period of time to ensure that the capital chain does not break.
Using this money to buy Shenchuan computers or carbon crystal hard drives will definitely make up for the deficit of mechanical hard drives.
Moreover, with the judgment of Boss Du, he knows very clearly that if he does not grasp the window period of insufficient carbon crystal hard disk production, he will seize the time to sell the mechanical hard disk.
When the output of carbon crystal hard drives is sufficient in the future, mechanical hard drives will be even more difficult to sell.
Boss Du's self-rescue move really saved himself.
But he did not expect that his move would cause a chain reaction in the entire Huaqiangbei and even the global hard disk market.
The first is Huaqiangbei. Since Boss Du is a big hard drive owner, he has millions of mechanical hard drives in his hands.
These mechanical hard drives are all sold at 60 to 30 percent off, which has greatly affected the hard drive market in Huaqiangbei.
Many consumers and retailers saw that the hard drive in the hands of Boss Du was so cheap! Then I must go to Boss Du to get the goods.
As soon as other wholesalers heard the news, coupled with the news of the mass production of carbon crystal hard drives, it has spread throughout the market.
Everyone panicked and was very afraid that the stock video disc would be smashed into their hands.
Everyone has an idea in their hearts, if you can't sell it now, you will definitely not be able to sell it in the future.
Or it can be sold in the future, but at a lower price than it is now.
What measures are these wholesalers taking?
Of course, like Boss Du, he sold it at a crazy price.
The sales price of mechanical hard disks has fallen in a collapsing manner.
Based on Boss Du's 30% discount, the final actual sales price is even lower than the 30% discount.
The collapse of the price of mechanical hard drives in the entire Huaqiangbei has led to a decline in the price of mechanical hard drives in the entire Xiaguo IT market.
The main reason for this situation is not the imbalance between supply and demand.
But in Huaqiangbei, everyone buys or sells mechanical hard drives, not for selling to consumers, and there are hype ingredients in it.
In the past, everyone was optimistic about the development of the Xiaguo computer market, and felt that the number of users would increase, and the price of mechanical hard drives would rise.
Now this logic has disappeared, and the hype is of course skyrocketing and slumping, which is the same as the hype of graphics cards more than 20 years later.
The middlemen who originally planned to import mechanical hard disks from American mechanical hard disk manufacturers such as Seagate Western Digital hesitated.
They began to pressure upstream merchants to lower prices.
American brands such as Seagate and Western Digital have suffered a little from Xia Guo's hard drive, which was originally a huge profit.
After all, the sales price of hard drives in the United States and Toyo is more than double that of Xia Guo.
These manufacturers are also very optimistic about the development of Xia Guo's IT market. After all, Xia has 1.2 billion people. Even if only 10% of the people buy computers, there are 120 million computers.
In this way, there will be 120 million hard disks to be sold, and this does not include the need to buy hard disks for replacing computers in a few years.
The chain reaction of the Xiaguo market shocked Seagate, Western Digital and other manufacturers.
It is hard for them to imagine that Xia Guo's carbon crystal hard drive has such a profound impact on their business.
Seagate's executives held a meeting overnight, and not only got the report of the semiconductor laboratory of Stanford University some time ago, but also got the data of the hard disk sales during this period.
From a macro perspective, the sales volume of hard drives in the Xiaguo market has not changed much.
But in terms of details, it will be a matter of time before carbon crystal hard drives replace mechanical hard drives.
Seagate, as the world's largest hard drive manufacturer, took immediate measures in response to the current situation.
The first is to reduce his own profits in the Xia Kingdom in order to keep the market.
Seagate's vision is very vicious, he can be sure that the current price reduction of the hard disk collapse method in the Xiaguo market is only a short-term panic behavior.
After a period of time, the price of hard disks will stabilize in a certain range, but it will definitely be lower than the current price.
So Seagate took the initiative to cut prices and give more profits to sellers to compete with carbon crystal hard drives.
If the price of Seagate is 100 yuan cheaper than the carbon crystal hard drive with the same configuration, consumers will hesitate, then how about 200 yuan cheaper?
The second thing is to connect with the American Computer Society as soon as possible.
The birth of carbon crystal storage carbon crystal hard drives will hit the entire US IT industry Seagate believes that related industries and companies should have certain countermeasures.
The third thing, innovate technology as soon as possible.
Either catch up in the footsteps of carbon crystal hard drives as soon as possible, so that you can also produce carbon crystal hard drives yourself.
Either update the technology of mechanical hard drives as soon as possible, and release 120g, 240g or even larger mechanical hard drives as soon as possible to grab the market.
The most important thing is to complete the technological innovation as soon as possible in order to regain the market and establish its dominant position in the market.

In Jiangzhou, Zhang Bo received a phone call from a classmate.
Xie Linna has settled in the United States. This time on a business trip to Jiangzhou, she took the initiative to call Zhang Bo to invite Zhang Bo to dinner.
