Chapter 292: Flood beast!
In the United States, HP, Dell, and IBM are all paying attention to the changes in the high-end computer market in the United States.
The computer market in the United States is naturally different from that in Xia.
Computer users in the United States are more capable of DIY.
Although the brand machine has a stronger cost-effective advantage, DIY can better meet the different needs of users.
To this end, various pc manufacturers have added some optional functions on the basis of the basic configuration.
Most of the options are upgraded cpu, memory, hard disk, graphics card and so on on the same motherboard.
These pc manufacturers have specialized market specialists who pay close attention to the world, especially the pc market in the United States, to provide a basis for their product pricing and configuration.
But recently, the marketing specialists of many manufacturers have found that the performance of many high-end PCs has been greatly improved during this period.
But the fundamental reason is that a large number of carbon crystal memory from Xia Guo appeared on the market.
Among them, according to the speculation of Dell's marketing department, at least 10,000 pieces of carbon crystal memory have entered the US market during the past few months, and the number of carbon crystal hard drives may be even more.
Whether it is carbon crystal memory or carbon crystal hard disk, it has never obtained a sales license in the United States.
It is certainly impossible for these products to enter the US market through formal channels.
Since it is not through the formal market to enter the US market, it must be through smuggling channels.
Dell was alerted immediately, and immediately sank to the consumer market, and actually checked the relevant prices of carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drives.
As a result, Dell executives were taken aback!
Whether it is carbon crystal memory or carbon crystal hard disk, the price is much higher than the sales price in the domestic market of Xiaguo, and even higher than the price of similar products in the United States.
The price of extremely high-performance products (1g of memory and 160g of hard disk) is even several times that of Xia Guo.
This kind of price can be accepted by consumers in the United States, but it can only illustrate one problem - consumers in the United States have the potential to consume PC hardware products with higher prices, but manufacturers in the United States are unable to produce such products.
The findings made Dell's executives swallow hard.
The PC market in the United States is already a Red Sea market, forming a situation in which IBM, Dell, HP, and Apple are competing for dominance in the world.
Among them, ibm has occupied a large number of markets, and Apple is also rapidly eroding the market of young consumers because of its youthful design and comfortable user experience.
In the middle and lower reaches, Dell and Hewlett-Packard are fighting hard to separate, and there is no need to fight for profit.
The main reason why the PC market is in such a difficult situation is the serious homogeneity of products.
You are using Intel and amd chips, I also use these two chips.
If you use Seagate or Kingston hard drives and memory, my family also uses these two products.
Since the internal structure is the same, pc manufacturers only need to work on the appearance, after-sales and their own costs.
This has led to lower and lower profits for PC manufacturers, and life has become more and more difficult.
A few years later, IBM's global PC business was acquired by Lianxiang for this reason - Lianxiang's PC hardware can be exactly the same as IBM's, but because Xia Guo's manpower and material costs are cheap, Lianxiang with the same configuration can be cheaper than IBM 20% or so, ibm really can't survive.
Dell has seen a large number of Changtian Technology PC hardware pouring into the United States from Xia Guo through smuggling channels, and has been welcomed by high-end consumers in the United States. It has also seen the rapid rise of the Xia Guo Shenchuan brand.
All this happened because of the super-level PC hardware of Changtian Technology.
This situation makes Dell's executives thinking about a problem - if Dell can get the relevant hardware products of Changtian Technology and apply them in the global market, then it is bound to rise rapidly in the PC Red Sea market, crushing it. other brands.
But in this case, Dell can only think about it. In the technological environment of the United States, it is too difficult to implement.
A large number of hardware products of Changtian Technology poured into the United States through improper means, which made many memory and hardware companies unable to sit still!
The first to jump out was not Kingston, but Magnesium.
As one of the world's three largest memory particle manufacturers, Micron not only produces and sells memory itself, but also provides memory particles (chips), especially high-end memory chips, to global partners.
At present, Micron is trying to solve the problem of commercial use of 512m and 1g memory (involving the size and wiring of memory chips). Here, Changtian Technology directly launched 512m and 1g memory.
Micron also obtained these two products of Changtian Technology through underground channels, and tested and disassembled the two specifications of memory.
The results shocked the executives of Magnesium.
Carbon crystal memory is not only super powerful, but also the principle is completely different from the memory chip technology currently mastered by Micron.
This is a terrible reality!
If carbon crystal memory continues to sell well in Xiaguo and even in the world, then there will be no market for traditional memory particles.
This means that Micron and other companies have spent more than ten years of accumulated technology and a large amount of capital investment all in vain, and there will be no profit.
Thinking of this terrible result, Magnesium immediately sent a letter to the relevant departments of the United States to increase the crackdown on smuggled products.
In addition, Micron, Kingston, Seagate and other memory and hard disk manufacturers once again called on the National Computer and Semiconductor Association to take measures!
Because the boss of Kingston is Chinese, there are also a large number of Chinese employees in the company. These people are very familiar with the culture of Xia Guo.
When sending a letter to the American Computer Society, Kingston used this sentence - a single spark can start a prairie fire, but it is absolutely impossible for Changtian Technology to grow like this.
Grim facts are in front of American technology companies.
This embarrassed the American Computer Society.
Some time ago, the American Computer Association managed to coordinate the internal contradictions among the member companies of the association, and unanimously supported Microsoft to solve the problem of carbon crystal hard disks by revising the system The problem was not solved, and Microsoft was also provoked.
Well now, we have directly developed the deep optimization win98 system into the world's largest pirated system. Even Americans who rarely use pirated systems are using the deep deep piracy system.
This has made Microsoft full of complaints about this matter. If it weren't for the winxp system being developed in Microsoft's hands, Gates would probably have to withdraw from the Computer Association.
Now what about the American Computer Society?
Micron, Seagate, Western Digital and other companies have given a suggestion to the US Computer Association - I hope that the Computer Association will adjust the technical standards of each association member, so that the products of all association members are prohibited from adapting to carbon crystal hard drives and carbon crystal memory!
The implementation of this proposal is relatively difficult, and the design involves many manufacturers such as motherboard chips, and even involves the commercial rules of computers.
But if it is done, it will be able to completely solve the threat of God's technology.
