Chapter 2: Onboarding and product launch.
Zhou Kai came to Lin Dongze's company after get off work. At this time, there was no one in the company except the logistics personnel who were still delivering goods in the warehouse.
Haha, Zhou Kai didn't come up with anything after a long time of fussing.
Although Cao Mang's technology is not black technology, it is at least thirty years ahead of theirs.
"How's it going? Did Lao Zhou see anything?" Lin Dongze majored in business and was limited to being able to install and use computers.
Zhou Kai shook his head helplessly. The system disk had expanded so much, but the system didn't slow down. Instead, it ran more smoothly.
Generally, the reason why a system becomes slow after being used for a long time is because the system disk is too fragmented. In the early days, XP was poor in fragmentation management.
Cao Mang replaced the entire defragmentation module and hid the replaced code. Even if Microsoft came, it would take at least more than a year to crack it. After all, it involves too much new knowledge.
In fact, Cao Mang is even more awesome and has written out the entire win10 system, but this is not necessary, and the entire system has more than 60 million lines of code. He could not finish it even if he broke off his hand.
"Can I take the hard drive away?" Zhou Kai was really at a loss and wanted to find another way to try.
"Okay, I'll copy the files and take them away with you." For Lin Dongze, he still has a little power. No one will say anything if the company computer is missing a hard drive.
After all, he is the God of Wealth of the company, and half of the company's goods are sold through him. This is why Cao Mang is attracted to these two people. They have done research and homework.
This is not an idol drama. Although Zhou Kai and Lin Dongze are channel general managers of two companies, to put it bluntly, they are just two wage earners.
There are also some who are even more awesome. They ask their subordinates to check the information of so and so. Damn it, isn't this embarrassing the fat tiger?
After Zhou Kai took the hard drive home, he was in trouble. After installing it on his computer, he could not enter the system. Instead, he entered another interface and asked to enter the Kirin Computer Manager activation code.
"That's cool, the CPU serial number should be locked." Zhou Kai finally figured out that the problem was locked.
In fact, Cao Mang not only locked the CPU, but also the motherboard chip serial number. However, he also made settings in the boot area. As long as you press F5 when booting to enter the unlock area, you can unlock it by entering the activation code again.
Otherwise, what should I do if the user’s CPU or motherboard is broken?
At that time, there was another way to solve the problem by completely formatting the hard drive.
Zhou Kai studied alone at home until 12 o'clock before falling asleep. The next day he asked for leave and took the hard drive to find a senior.
"The technology of this team has reached the top in the world. If possible, they can even develop their own system." This is what Zhou Kai's senior brother told him after seeing it.
Because such technology is unheard of.
"By the way, go back and ask for me, do they still hire people? I want to join them and study."
Zhou Kai didn't know whether Cao Mang would invite anyone, so he had no choice but to say that he would ask for him when he saw him later.
Cao Mang is indeed capable of developing systems, but everything requires a complete package. Having a system without software is nothing, and there are many factors to consider.
If we were to develop a system for the government alone, it would not be difficult for the other party to develop the software themselves. As long as 1,000 people could solve this problem within a year.
This is because Cao Mang has advanced knowledge and can determine the direction of the development framework and modules. You must know that it took seven years for Juhua to develop Hongmeng.
.....
Three days later, Zhou Kai and Lin Dongze ordered barbecue at a roadside stall and drank two bottles of beer.
"Dongze, I think we can give it a try. That guy's skills are really awesome. He might be able to break into a new world. I've reached the ceiling at Colorful Trading." Zhou Kai said after taking a sip.
"I think it's okay, the most important thing is to give enough." Lin Dongze said with a smile.
Even though they are both channel managers and control most of the company's channels, they only earn more than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month.
Cao Mang gave them a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan plus 5% commission.
Calculated, if you do well, you can earn at least 100,000 a month.
The next day, the two contacted Cao Mang and expressed their willingness to join Kirin Electronics, but they needed to be handed over to the original company before they could take up the position.
....
There are still two months until the Chinese New Year, and the factory has temporarily suspended work for workers. During the suspension period, only basic wages will be paid.
Cao Mang had no choice but to spend almost all the funds from the loan, and the remaining funds were used to pay interest.
Although tens of millions are a lot, a set of 845 chips costs close to 450 yuan, which is not much to replace with chips, and these chips have also been made into finished motherboards.
Kirin Motherboard was also quietly listed under the operation of Zhou Kai and Lin Dongze, who were responsible for their respective regions, one in the south and one in the north.
845 chip motherboard, Asus sells it for 1399, Gigabyte sells it for 1299, MSI also sells it for 1299, and Kirin motherboard only sells for 1199.
Cao Mang does not intend to price his products too low. It is said that it is easy to lower the price but difficult to increase it. Once it drops, it is too difficult to raise it back.
The cost to the distributor is 800 yuan, which is 200 yuan more profit than the Taiwanese product. Of course, this price does not include postage.
After calculation, the total cost of each 845 chip motherboard is 560 yuan.
The main reason is that the requirement for full capacity is too high. The capacitors must be Panasonic solid capacitors, the PCB board must be a three-layer thickened board, and the chip capacitors must be Hitachi. The cost suddenly increased by 60 yuan.
Why not use domestic capacitors?
It's not that he doesn't want to use it, domestic products in this era are really not good and their tolerance is really bad.
For example, the capacitor voltage around the CPU is generally 6.3v, but when the voltage provided by the power supply is unstable, the domestic capacitor will explode if the voltage increases slightly, and may even cause
CPU burned out?
But imported capacitors are different. Even if the voltage suddenly reaches 7V, they will not explode.
Zhou Kai and Lin Dongze have extremely powerful channels, and they sold 200,000 motherboards in less than a week.
The hard part is that the goods were shipped out but not a penny was recovered.
This was the case in the early days of this industry. Generally, there was a three-day to one-week billing period, not to mention that the Kirin brand is not yet well-known.
The two of them could only ask their grandfather to tell their grandmother to let the channel dealer sell and settle the goods first. In the end, the other party said that you would pay the shipping fee, and we would try to sell it first to see if it can be sold.
This is why Kirin Electronics Factory has temporarily suspended operations, and funds cannot flow at all.
During this period of time, Cao Mang was not idle, and began to form a game development team. They worked together on both physical and virtual legs, but the money from the game came too quickly.
Look at how Cheng Danda has made a lot of money in the past two years relying on Legend, and Xiao Ma has now begun to get involved in the game industry, and Penguin's profitability has begun to increase dramatically.
