However, Hu Yang knew that the high profit margin of computers could not be maintained for a few years.

For example, everyone likes to go to computer stores to assemble compatible machines. Nowadays, a compatible machine may make a few hundred yuan in profit, but in a few years, it will be very common to earn more than 100 yuan from selling a compatible machine.

But there is no need to argue with Chang Sheng about this matter today.

"Mr. Chang, please leave the financing plan with me first. When the company's discussions come to a conclusion, I will let Mr. Wang inform you."

Hu Yang put down the information in his hand and prepared to end today's meeting.

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Hu, for giving us this opportunity. Whether it succeeds or not, we are good partners."

Chang Sheng stood up and said goodbye to Populus euphratica.

Hu Yang personally sent the other party to the elevator and then returned to the office.

"Assistant Lin, ask Dacheng to prepare the car. I'm going to go to Nishite Technology."

In the afternoon, Lin Yan returned to work. Perhaps because she took a break at noon, she did not make any more mistakes in her subsequent work.

Hu Yang went to Nishite Technology mainly because he wanted to understand the problems encountered in the production process of notebook computers. He wanted to analyze the market potential of Ark notebooks from the side.

"Brother Hu, I still have a few samples here. Take one back to try when you leave. I have used it myself and I feel that the performance of this machine is still a bit weak and the parts could use better ones.

Products. Of course, this is also related to the price of Ark Computer. The low price naturally places great restrictions on the selection of parts.”

Chen Jialin also wonders why Ark Computer's product line is so narrow. It is not difficult to match product prices with high and low prices.

Hu Yang pointed to the financial statements on Chen Jialin's desk and said with a smile: "I'm not strong enough, otherwise who wouldn't know this simple question?"

"That's right! I hope Ark Computer can succeed and become a big customer of Nishite Technology. Maybe my idea is a bit too idealistic."

Chen Jialin really hopes that Ark Computer can become a company comparable to lx. Of course, this wish is a bit far away. After all, lx has begun an internationalization strategy. There are rumors that lx has begun discussions with IBM and is preparing to acquire IBM's PC business.

Once the acquisition is completed, lx's internationalization path will enter an irreversible state.

Hu Yang didn't stay long at Hard Rock Technology. Chen Jialin himself had a lot of things waiting for him, so the two of them went their separate ways.

Back home, Hu Yang was still struggling with the matter of Ark Computer.

It stands to reason that Hu Yang should not exclude Ark Computer's second round of financing. Not to mention that he is already the major shareholder of Ark, holding 50% of the equity of Ark. From another perspective, a mere 300 million yuan of funds,

It really won't embarrass him.

What makes me feel embarrassed is the computer industry.

Let's put it this way, although PC manufacturers led by IBM seem to be extremely prosperous now, there is a crisis hidden behind the prosperity.

As more and more competitors pour into the PC market, it promotes the rapid development of the PC industry and allows the PC industry to continue to refine its division of labor.

The chip, system and core component industries, which were originally dominated or relatively dominated by PC manufacturers, have grown one after another, constantly taking away the core value and voice from PC manufacturers, causing PC manufacturers to gradually lose their own value space and become a big fish and meat.

The industry has become an industry with little oil and water.

Wang Qingquan raised 100 million yuan for Ark Computer, and Hu Yang thought there was no problem. After all, although the profit margin of the computer industry in the future is very low, there will still be profits, right? His purpose is mainly for the development of 3C manufacturing of Nishite Technology, of which Ark Computer is a subsidiary.

status.

Now that Ark has proposed a second round of financing, and the company's valuation is not low, it is inevitable that Hu Yang will hesitate.

"Mr. Hu, let's have some supper."

Hu Yang was meditating hard in the study when Lin Yan walked in with a small bowl of shark fin porridge and some Shaomai.

There are still just a few people in the family now. Li Hao has rented a house there since he opened a store in Huaqiangbei. It is said that he has already spotted a community and plans to buy a house soon.

"Assistant Lin, haven't you rested yet? I said you should go to bed early today. You stayed up all night last night, so don't hold on today."

Hu Yang looked at Lin Yan and couldn't help but say something.

"Oh, okay, thank you boss for your concern."

Lin Yan's face turned slightly red for no reason. Fortunately, the light in the study was not too strong, and Hu Yang didn't notice it either.

After finishing the supper, Lin Yan took away the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing that it was getting late, Hu Yang planned to go back to the house to take a shower and sleep.

Lying on the bed, Hu Yang felt that he smelled the faint aroma again. This aroma was not only present beside the bed, but also on the pillows and even in the quilt.

"How did this happen? Did something extraordinary happen last night?"

Hu Yang was no longer calm now. If something happened to Lin Yan, he wouldn't be a little panicked. The most important thing is that he doesn't remember anything and has no impression at all.

He can't ask yet. If he does, he will be acting like a hooligan.

He couldn't pretend to be confused. If something really happened, wouldn't it be too shameless to refuse to admit it when he brought up his wife?

This is really confusing!

As a result, Populus euphratica lay there, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. It was almost 1 o'clock in the night before she fell asleep in a daze.

When Hu Yang woke up in the morning and saw Lin Yan again, he felt a little uncomfortable. The words came to his lips several times but he still felt that he could not ask.

"Mr. Hu, did you not sleep well last night? I think you seem a little tired. Otherwise, you can go back to sleep after breakfast. Anyway, there are no special arrangements for today."

Lin Yan wanted to laugh when she saw Hu Yang's appearance, but she was back to normal today.

"Ah, I didn't sleep well. There was a mosquito last night which was quite annoying. There's no need to go back to sleep. Just take a rest in the office at noon."

There is a lounge next to Hu Yang's office where you can take a nap.

"Oh, I'll let them prepare breakfast."

Lin Yan showed a bright smile and turned around to go to the kitchen.

"Hey, it's not easy to ask. It's so difficult that it's become an unsolved case?"

Hu Yang couldn't help but rant. He decided to put the matter aside for the time being. He could always find some clues from Lin Yan's performance in the future.

...

"Everyone, in today's regular meeting, I want everyone to discuss the second round of financing for Ark Computer. Assistant Lin, please send the information to everyone."

In a few days, it was the day of the regular meeting of the decision-making committee. Everyone arrived today, even Mu Shaoqing rushed back from the imperial capital.

"Mr. Hu, everyone, let me talk first. I think the competition in the computer industry will be fierce in the future. Ark Computer, which lacks core competitiveness, has limited development potential. I personally think that during the first round of financing, Huijia

There is no problem if the holding company participates. However, I am opposed to continuing to invest more.”

Mu Shaoqing was the first to speak. His views were sharp and he pointed out the shortcomings of this industry.

"I agree with Mr. Mu's opinion."

Xia Bing didn't say much, her thoughts were similar to Mu Shaoqing's.

Xu Younian has been very busy recently because Huijia Holdings is establishing Xijiang Xueling Dairy. When he came to the meeting this time, he decided to listen more and talk less, so he reserved his opinions for the time being.

Next, Wan Qingshan also opposed participating in Ark Computer’s second round of financing.

"Mr. Yan, it's your turn to talk. I see that you have been thinking about it for a long time."

Hu Yang saw Yan Hanzhang frowning all the time, so he called him by name to speak.

"I think I should participate in Ark Computer's second round of financing. The reason is that I'm thinking that Charming Electronics and Ark Computer can jointly promote the research and development of tablet computers."

Yan Hanzhang's idea is different from others. He believes that tablet computers will be a major trend in the future.

Ark Computer currently has two main products, complete computers and laptops. Yan Hanzhang believes that Ark Computer can abandon the production of complete machines in a few years and focus on the research and development of key components such as motherboards and graphics cards.

, while focusing on laptops and future tablets.

"No, Mr. Yan, if you gave up the whole machine, wouldn't it be equivalent to cutting off an arm of Ark Computer? Your idea is wrong, and the management may not agree with it."

Xu Younian shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Yan Hanzhang's statement.

"Everyone, everyone has already expressed their attitude. We will not make a conclusion on this issue today. I will think more about it later and then make a decision."

When Hu Yang saw that Yan Hanzhang did not continue to argue with Xu Younian and that the other people had no additional opinions, he announced that the meeting was adjourned.

As for Ark Computer's second round of financing, he will make a decision later.

After the meeting, it was still the same custom as before. Everyone dispersed after having lunch in the small restaurant on the top floor.

Hu Yang still couldn't take a nap at noon. After eating, Mu Shaoqing came to his office.

"Mr. Mu, I can't see you even a few times throughout the year. It's really hard on you. How is the situation of Oriental Technology now?"

Hu Yang asked Mi Qi to brew a pot of Pu'er, and then he and Mu Shaoqing sat in the tea room, drinking tea and chatting.

"Dongfang Technology has actually made great progress over such a long period of time. The company's first-generation LCD production line has begun mass production, and the sales of CRT monitors continue to maintain the leading level in the domestic market."

CRT monitors are relatively bulky and backward, but they are cheap and there is still a considerable market. However, LCD monitors are the mainstream in the future. Oriental Technology has identified this direction and continues to increase investment.

Next, Mu Shaoqing said that the problem faced by Oriental Technology is still funds. Because it has to catch up with international giants such as Samsung and LG, the company must invest heavily in research and development on the one hand, and on the other hand it needs to continuously plan to launch new production lines.

Therefore, although the company's revenue is not low, it is dragged down by the huge R&D and factory construction costs, and the performance is still relatively ugly.
