Not only IBM was scolding, but all computer manufacturers lost their composure and even cursed Liu Zhiyuan when they saw the price of Zhulong 2.

Just because you have support from other industries, you can engage in price wars unscrupulously, right?

Liu Zhiyuan's reputation as a troublemaker resounded throughout the IT field overnight, because every part of the Han Dynasty computers was produced independently!

From the core processor to the graphics card, to the motherboard memory module and display, they are all independently developed and produced, even the peripheral keyboard and mouse.

INTER has reached a strategic partnership with Microsoft. There is no other way. If we don't join forces, Liu Zhiyuan will really win this market with price war.

"The compensation is more than 300 US dollars per unit, tsk tsk."

Liu Zhiyuan clicked his tongue. To be honest, he was very heartbroken. Counting the money-losing Tiger Fu 2, these two gadgets alone cost the Han Dynasty at least 20 billion US dollars every year.

The more you sell, the more you will lose. No one may believe it, but the profits of the Han Dynasty are really not as high as the outside world imagines. Calculated based on the ratio of input and output, it is far less profitable than the Elves Era.

I am earning more and more, but I am spending it faster and faster.

Electronic product research and development itself is very expensive. It is not profitable yet, so those games are too profitable, otherwise the Han Dynasty would have ended long ago.

"How many pre-sales are there for the second generation of Zhulong?"

"More than 12 million units, Taobao International has more than 3 million units."

"It's a bit low."

If other computer manufacturers heard this, they would definitely beat them up.

In less than 2 months, pre-sales have reached more than 12 million units, and many of their companies have only sold more than 10 million units in total over the years!

"Um, Mr. Liu, the console players are making a fuss, do you really don't need to think of a solution?"

What Zhang Chaoyang was talking about was the fact that the game Super Mario Kart was not released in Tiger Talisman 2.

"Don't worry about it, just apologize to the players and continue our statement that the transplant has not been completed."

It is true that the transplantation of Super Mario Kart has not been completed, but if he wants the Han Dynasty to fully transplant it, it will be available in Tiger Talisman 2 in less than a month.

However, Super Mario Kart is designed to attract players to buy Candle Dragon 2-generation computers, and it will take a while before it can do so.

I dare not say anything else, but if he announces that the transplant will be completed within one month, the sales of Zhulong 2 will definitely decline, which is unacceptable.

The Han Dynasty is the only one in the console market. He is not afraid of players making trouble for a while. When the game is released, players will naturally stop.

But there are many opponents in the computer market. In addition to the decisive conditions of price and performance, free super masterpieces are also very attractive to new users.

"By the way, it has been announced that from the end of this Han Dynasty Extreme Masters and WCG, global players will start voting to determine the venue for the next two events."

"The Han Dynasty was responsible for the preparation of the site and said we hope those countries can relax some conditions appropriately."

"ah!?"

He has no objection to holding competitions in other countries. On the contrary, he is quite supportive. Many players expressed their hope online that the Han Dynasty can hold competitions in their country.

This was very helpful in increasing the influence of the Han Dynasty, but what about building its own stadium?

"Mr. Liu, um... our family is almost out of money."

Building a high-tech competition venue is very expensive, especially since he is very clear about his boss's style, which is to use whatever is expensive. He doesn't even dare to think about how much it will cost to build a stadium.

The key is that it’s hard to recoup the cost of this thing, it’s a waste of money.

Hufu and Zhulong lose money in order to allow more users to use them and to make more money. There is also a world of difference between money-losing products and money-losing products.

"It's okay. Isn't this Zhulong going on sale soon? The Ministry of Communications has also started to make a profit, so we can allocate less to them in the future."

Zhang Chaoyang had to smile bitterly and continue to persuade. The Ministry of Communications had made a good turnaround, but he also knew that this branched company could swallow up a lot of money.

Launching satellites, building base stations, laying lines, and developing new technologies, this branch has no money-saving projects.

It was a great blessing for the Han Dynasty that they could take care of themselves.

What's more, the Han Dynasty has more than one branch. A group of people are there waiting for food. It would be a waste to spend money to build a bunch of competition halls.

"Also, we still have to invest there. Galaxy Center asks me for money every day. We also need to open new production lines, as well as your offline experience stores..."

But despite his earnest persuasion, Liu Zhiyuan remained unmoved.

"Mr. Liu, if it doesn't work out, let's find a stadium to renovate. I'm sure they won't refuse. We can save a lot of money by sharing the cost."

Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan was considering it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't build it himself. However, Liu Zhiyuan's next words almost gave him a myocardial infarction.

"Forget it, just buy the land and build it ourselves."

"Buy...buy land!?"

Zhang Chaoyang almost fainted, why have the specifications been upgraded again!?

The competition venue of the Han Dynasty was 100% not in the wilderness. Those countries were not like China looking at their own sons. They wanted to kill the Han Dynasty with one knife!

How much does this cost!?

"No, absolutely not, we..."

"kindness?"

Seeing Liu Zhiyuan's cold face, Zhang Chaoyang almost cried.

"Mr. Liu, build the competition venue. We build the competition venue and just rent the land. Rent it for 10... rent it for 20 years. This is no different from buying it, right?"

If Liu Zhiyuan is really allowed to buy land to build a competition venue, it will definitely arouse opposition from other senior officials, and as a secretary, he will definitely not be left behind.

Liu Zhiyuan's secretary position has never been a simple matter of reporting some work. The person sitting in this position also plays a supervisory role.

The boss who was "supervising" them suddenly had another whim.

"Just buy land and gather people for a meeting."

"No, Mr. Liu, you can't buy land. You have personally experienced Japan's economic crisis. We...we..."

"No money! Anyway, there is no money. I will send out all the money later."

He went all out and must not let other senior officials know that he had done nothing in this matter. Flattering Liu Zhiyuan really didn't work in the Han Dynasty.

Although Liu Zhiyuan kept his word in the Han Dynasty, if he was targeted by those high-level officials, Liu Zhiyuan would not be able to save him.

"Believe me, you can't lose anything."

"I don't believe it. If I don't go, there won't be a single eldest son left in the Han Dynasty."

Seeing Zhang Chaoyang acting rogue here, Liu Zhiyuan laughed angrily.

"Get lost."

"Anyway, I don't agree with buying land to build a racing stadium..."

Zhang Chaoyang, who pretended to be aggrieved, deliberately shouted loudly when he walked out of the office door.

"In other companies, employees take the blame. How come in the Han Dynasty, I take the blame? Even though I made the blame myself."

Liu Zhiyuan naturally understood Zhang Chaoyang's thoughts. He didn't say anything more. Every department in the Han Dynasty was closely related.

Taobao International, which Zhang Chaoyang is responsible for, needs the attention of other divisions. After all, the project he is responsible for does not produce anything, it is just a platform.

He is afraid of offending other project leaders, which he understands.

"Hello, Brother Li? Let's have a remote meeting."

"Jack Ma, go online for a meeting."

"Ma Huateng..."

"..."

In the end, under the firm opposition of everyone, especially Zhang Chaoyang's extremely fierce opposition, the Han Dynasty was ready to start enclosing land and building a competition hall.

"Welcome everyone to the 1997 Han Dynasty Extreme Masters. Before the game starts, I will announce a new news to you, a news that many people have been waiting for."

After the host finished speaking, the names of dozens of cities around the world appeared on the big screen in the arena.

"Everyone can log in to the official websites of Han Dynasty Extreme Masters and WCG to vote. The next competition venue will be held in the city with the first place in the vote, and..."

The host had to stop because the cheers were loud, except for the Chinese audience.

He waited until the audience calmed down a little before he continued.

"The Han Dynasty will buy a piece of land and personally build a competition venue that is not inferior to this one, a competition venue exclusively for our game players!"

"Long live the Han Dynasty, long live President Liu!"

"Next stop, America!"

"Shut up you bastard, it's obviously France!"

"Can you compare the number of gamers with our Empire of Japan? We are small but have many gamers!"

"..."

The chaotic audience did not calm down until the game started, and at this time, the second generation of Zhulong was officially released.

On December 26, the day after Christmas, console players completely exploded. They posted everywhere to "conquer" the Han Dynasty.

"Discrimination, this is discrimination, this is naked discrimination. The Han Dynasty seems to have forgotten who is its most loyal supporter!"

"Why can a computer play Super Mario Kart but not a console?"
To be continued...
