"This is quite good, and it also indicates that Qingtian Chip and even Qingtian Computer have truly formed a positive cycle, using their own revenue profits to fund their own scientific research expenditures and develop better products."

Fang Chen said with a smile on his face and great comfort in his heart.

The extra profit of 900 yuan can bring the profit of the whole machine to 1,300 to 1,300 yuan, especially the cost of the processor has been reduced to about 1,000 yuan. This is indeed gratifying for Qingtian Chip.

At the very least, this means that Qingtian Chip has become a normal company that can make its own blood. The profit of 1,300 to 400 yuan is also the profit that a 6,000 yuan product should have.

Previously, the profit margin for selling a Qingtian computer was only 7%, which was really pitiful. This was the profit of a high-tech enterprise, and it was simply lower than the profit margin of rural farming.

And although the first-generation Qingtian computers sold a lot, everyone knows that this is an abnormal situation. Qingtian opened a large number of Internet cafes, and Dean Zhu almost handed over all the computer purchase orders for all agencies in the country to Qingtian.

result.

It was not created by Qingtian Computer based on its own real strength.

But the performance of the Optimus II computer, which is equivalent to Intel's Pentium II processor, is different. It truly has the qualifications to compete with Intel and AMD computers.

After all, in terms of performance, the second-generation Qingtian computer does not lag behind Intel and AMD, and it also has a huge advantage in price.

Although one year has passed, according to Moore's Law, the price of the Pentium 2 generation computer is a full 3,000 yuan cheaper than when it was launched last year. However, if you want to buy a computer with a main frequency of 0.33GHZ or above, you still need at least 8,000 yuan.

dollars.

Moreover, this 8,000 yuan computer does not yet have a graphics card. If you want to add the latest NVIDIA graphics card, you will have to add at least 2,500 yuan more.

Although Pentium II computers costing 6,000 yuan are also available, they are basically products with a main frequency of 0.2GHZ and shrunk motherboards and power supplies. They cannot be compared with the Prime II computers.

Fang Chen can already imagine how big a stir this Qingtian 2nd generation computer will cause once it is put on the market. It will definitely become the best-selling computer this year.

After all, you only need to spend 6,000 yuan to buy a Qingtian computer, and you can buy performance equivalent to Intel's 10,500 yuan.

And consumers are not fools, and no one’s money comes from strong winds.

There was no way before, computers were so expensive, but now with Qingtian Computer, who doesn't know how nice it is to save 4,500 yuan.

At this moment, Fang Chen can already pat his chest and say that the brand of Qingtian Computer and the company of Qingtian Chip are truly established.

"Your goal is easy to achieve. I believe that by the end of this year, Qingtian Chip will be able to provide you with a satisfactory answer."

Zhang Rujing said with confidence.

From last year to now, Qingtian Computer has sold approximately 1.04 million units, which has greatly exceeded the target given to him by Fang Chen of selling 500,000 units.

But the money actually earned was not much, less than 600 million in total, which was less than a fraction of the 20 billion that Fang Chen gave Qingtian Chip.

But the problem is that Qingtian Chip develops and produces a variety of powerful chips for Qingtian's major branches, which directly replaces the share of chips that Qingtian's major branches originally needed to import.

At the end of last year, when doing the year-end summary, Qingtian Chip saved nearly 2 billion US dollars in chip purchase costs for Qingtian's major branches, and Qingtian Chip also received 12 billion Chinese coins in revenue.

Because most of the production equipment of Qingtian Chip, including photoresist and other auxiliary materials, are all produced in-house, and all of them can be counted in the 20 billion investment cost given by Fang Chen every year, so from a certain perspective, the proportion exceeds

More than 80% of R&D expenses are actually not included.

So in order to produce these 12 billion Huaxia coins chips, the actual cost paid by Qingtian Chip is about 2 billion.

That means there is still nearly 10 billion in revenue, which can actually be invested in further research and development and become research and development costs.

This already solves half of the investment problem in the first place.

As for the remaining 10 billion, with the expansion of the business of Qingtian's major branches this year, some of it will definitely be consumed.

As for the last remaining bit, if nothing unexpected happens, Qingtian Computer's own profits can make up for it.

After all, Qingtian Computer's profit this year has tripled compared to last year, and in terms of sales, if it triples on the basis of 1 million, he thinks it shouldn't be a problem.

Furthermore, if you really look into it carefully, most of the cost of a 1000-piece Optimus chip is the cost of design and production equipment, and a small part of labor costs.

And if the cost of design and production equipment is also included in the 20 billion, the cost is actually not much.

After all, the raw material for chips is sand, and how expensive can sand be?

The reason for achieving such results is not only that the product strength of Qingtian Computer is really good, but also that the development speed of computers in China has been too fast in recent years, with almost an annual growth rate of more than 50%.

Growing rapidly.

In other words, as long as Qingtian Computer does not fall behind and relies on the natural growth rate of computer sales every year, it will be able to sell 1.5 million units.

Now that Qingtian Computer's product capabilities are so outstanding, it is definitely not a problem to grow by another 50%.

Zhang Rujing even believes that one day, computers will be like video players, completely flying into thousands of households, with sales exceeding tens of millions of units every year.

No!

The sales volume of computers will only be more than that of DVD players, not less.

After all, DVD players can only be used in homes or some KTVs, but computers are also indispensable in personal homes, major enterprises, government institutions, etc.

The usage of computers in these places is not much less than that of households. To put it bluntly, these places are now the main purchasers of computers.

Nowadays, there are still only a few people who can buy computers for their families.

In addition, Qingtian also has the big killer of Internet cafes. Do you want to know about Fang Chen’s so-called plan of 10,000 Internet cafes?

To put it bluntly, these 10,000 Internet cafes alone will consume at least one million computers, and they will be updated in about three years.

This is a steady stream of income.

Seeing Zhang Rujing's self-confidence again, Fang Chen suddenly felt that he didn't know how to talk to Zhang Rujing.

To put it seriously, he was afraid that Zhang Rujing's confidence would be damaged, but to put it lightly, Zhang Rujing was floating in the sky.

After thinking about it, Fang Chen sighed in his heart. It's going to rain and my mother is getting married. Let's go with Zhang Rujing. If he can't achieve his goal at the end of the year, let's see how he beats Zhang Rujing.

As for Zhang Rujing achieving his goal?

What else is there to say? It is not impossible to directly receive various commendations and awards, and even reward Zhang Rujing with 10 to 20 million yuan.

Anyway, if he was slapped in the face, he would be slapped in the face. Not to mention that no one knew what he was thinking now. Even if they knew, he would be happy to be slapped in the face for such a thing.

"As long as you have confidence, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The headquarters will still invest and allocate funds according to your needs. It doesn't mean that after so many years of investment and 80 billion has been spent, we will force you.

, you must find ways to make money, be responsible for your own profits and losses, etc.”

"That's not the case. Besides, you must have read in the newspapers that your boss has just looted the financial giants headed by Soros. Now is the time to be rich."

Fang Chen said this to everyone present, and he even patted his pocket specifically.

After hearing this, a burst of hearty and joyful laughter suddenly broke out in the technical department.

Indeed, they have read a lot of news from the newspapers about how Fang Chen dominated the scene and killed many people in Hong Kong. Even now they can buy the so-called "The Richest Man in Hong Kong" and "The Destruction of Soros in Hong Kong" from street stalls.

, "How the Financial Giants Failed in Hong Kong" and other so-called secret histories of Fang Chen's financial war in Hong Kong.

What is said above is ridiculous. It may range from saying that Fang Chen earned 50 billion U.S. dollars this time to as much as saying that Fang Chen earned 200 billion U.S. dollars.

It really doesn’t matter how rich the land is, how dare they make it up.

But they didn't say whether the above data was true or false, but one thing they knew was that Fang Chen did make a lot of money in Xiangjiang.

However, many more cautious technicians and middle-level cadres quietly let go of the stone in their stomachs.

Not to mention whether the goal mentioned by Zhang Rujing can be achieved, it is always good that Fang Chen does not put so much pressure on them and is willing to allocate funds to them.

"I even laughed. My request for Qingtian Chip has always been one and the same from its establishment to the present. That is to build Qingtian Chip into a world-class semiconductor company and make Qingtian Chip able to follow the same trend.

Intel stands side by side with world-class semiconductor companies such as AMD and Texas Instruments."

"And in order to achieve this goal, no matter how much money I have to pay or how much time it takes, I can afford it and I can afford to wait!"

Hearing Fang Chen's powerful words, the technical department couldn't help but burst into deafening applause again.

Everyone's expressions were hot, just like their hot hearts.

"So in the next step, it is a good thing that Qingtian Chip can be responsible for its own profits and losses, but the company will still increase its investment in Qingtian Chip. I believe that the company will never be willing to invest too much in semiconductor technology!"

Fang Chen stretched out his hand to suppress the applause and said.

After hearing this, Zhang Rujing suddenly felt a little ashamed. He suddenly felt that compared with Fang Chen, he was nothing like clouds and mud. A bird knows the ambition of a swan!

Fang Chen's goal is so grand and vast, and he is satisfied if he can only catch up with Intel and let Qingtian Chip be responsible for its own profits and losses. He even feels that this way, he can give Fang Chen a satisfactory answer.

Therefore, he decided not to ask for Fang Chen's additional investment in the next three years, and even planned to write a report later to ask Fang Chen for another three billion in scientific research funding.

Then recruit more scientific researchers, establish more Qingtian classes, purchase more experimental equipment, and distribute more scientific research projects!

Otherwise, how about building another technical building?

Now, as the number of scientific research and technical personnel, engineers, and technicians of Qingtian Chip is increasing, if Qingtian Chip did not have several R&D centers across the country, they would be full.

In other words, it would be good to add three more national-level laboratories, so that everyone would not have to rush for laboratories all the time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rujing's eyes changed when he looked at Fang Chen. In his eyes, Fang Chen was just like a big fat sheep.

But unfortunately, Fang Chen didn't know that Zhang Rujing had transformed from a cute little white rabbit into a ferocious and cruel wolf. Instead, he looked at the CRT monitor in front of him with interest.

Although the CRT monitor is still so huge, it has become extra cute in Fang Chen's eyes because of the addition of the logos of Rainbow Group and Qingtian Group.

Well, that's right, the 19-inch, very large monitor in front of you is a product of Rainbow Group, and there is a 17-inch monitor next to it.

Compared with 19-inch monitors, 17-inch monitors are the preferred product for computer users now and even in the next two years.

After all, the size of mainstream monitors is still between 14 inches and 15 inches.

Last year, due to the heavy investment of Qingtian Chip, Caihong Group introduced two CRT monitor production lines from Dongbo and mastered all the technical essentials.
