Fatty Zhao heard that Zhou Shuo opened his mouth and cut it in half, as if he was stepping on his tail, jumping three feet high! He shouted in a sharp voice: "This is impossible!"

Maybe he felt that yelling like this would leave a bad impression on Mr. Jason sitting there. Fatty Zhao lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Customer, how can you bargain like this? This is a computer, it is high-tech! Are you the one selling clothes on Linxi Road?"

Zhou Shuo laughed and explained: "The reason why I say this machine is only worth 8,000 yuan is because it has serious design defects. If some low-probability situations occur, the machine will even burn."

Fatty Zhao looked disbelief and his voice gradually rose, retorting: "Impossible, do you know what kind of company Dell is? The top five computer manufacturers in the world will design defective computers? If you don't buy customers sincerely, you can just take a look, but you can't talk nonsense!"

Zhou Shuo pointed to the P60 chassis and said: "The 7790 motherboard used by this computer will fail cold startup in some cases due to unreasonable design, and the startup time is too long. Its PCI graphics card is incompatible with the motherboard. When running some graphics systems, the system will be unstable due to the high temperature, which will cause the system to run unstable, crash and even burn the machine. This is not the most serious..."

Of course, this so-called "some" graphics system naturally has not yet appeared.

At this time, a question suddenly came from behind Fatty Zhao, who couldn't wait to ask: "What is the most serious?"

Fatty Zhao turned around and found that at some point Mr. Jason was standing behind him. Thinking that Zhou Shuo's nonsense was actually heard by him, his face was so scared that he was so scared that he apologized: "Mr. Jason, please don't be angry. I will never allow anyone to ruin the reputation of Dell Company! Come on, blow this person out!"

Fatty Zhao shouted and separated Jason and Zhou Shuo with his hands, as if he was worried that he would suddenly hurt Jason.

Jason did not accept Fatty Zhao's affection at all, but instead asked again with a stronger tone: "I would like to ask this customer, what is the most serious defect of this computer you are talking about?"

Others don’t know how much this computer supports the WINDOWS95 system, which does not mean that Jason doesn’t know. As the top five computer manufacturers in the world at that time, it was so easy for Dell to get the beta version of WIN95. But he didn’t expect that he would hear such comments in the mouth of a Chinese, which made his curiosity burn.

Zhou Shuo held his hands behind his back, and didn't even look at Fatty Zhao, nodded to Jason and said lightly: "The most important thing is that this motherboard does not have CPU protection function, and it is very likely that the CPU will be burned when overclocking."

"The CPU protection function of overclocking..." Jason touched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "This statement is very fresh. Can you tell me in detail?"

Zhou Shuo shrugged and said that there was no problem, saying: "Pentium CPUs have made great progress compared to previous generations of CPUs. Take overclocking as an example. At that time, the 486 main frequency was 33MHz, and the official overclocking was good. 60MHz would face the problem of too much heat dissipation. However, it is easy to exceed the 60MHz main frequency of the Pentium CPU to 90MHz, and 120MHz is not impossible.

It can be seen that if the performance of the Pentium CPU can improve so much after overclocking, then overclocking will become a very common method. However, rough overclocking can easily cause irreparable damage to the hardware. If a motherboard does not have the protection function of overclocking, I think its value will be very affected."

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

After Zhou Shuo finished speaking, Jason couldn't help but clap his hands and said in admiration: "Your words make a lot of sense. I really didn't expect that you could hear such a business-conscious speech in China."

At this time, two security guards ran over to Fatty Zhao, crawled in his ear and asked, "Manager Zhao, do you still want to drive this person away?"

Fatty Zhao didn't know that he had been a villain for nothing? But he didn't care. Sometimes what mattered was not the right or wrong of the matter, but the attitude towards the matter. Would Mr. Jason get angry because I was eager to maintain the reputation of Dell? This is obviously impossible.

Fatty Zhao cheered himself up in his heart and interrupted: "Mr. Jason is so open-minded! But for this customer, it is absolutely impossible for a computer to be priced at 8,000 yuan. Even if the CPU overclocking protection function you mentioned can only increase the price because of this. It is impossible to say that the price will be reduced without it!"

Zhou Shuo scratched his head and thought it was true. He was misled by the thinking of later generations. At that time, the motherboards could even be overclocked in the BIOS. Of course, computers without overclocking protection are not valuable. But I forgot that most motherboards now do not have this function, and those with this function are high-end products.

Thinking of this, he was a little excited. The function of overclocking protection is not complicated. As long as some improvements to the BIOS can be easily implemented. Since no one has done this work, it is obviously a good direction.

He thought for a while and said, "This way, I can tell you a solution to the compatibility problem of PCI graphics stuck in the graphics system."

"Impossible!" Fatty Zhao waved his hand and said in a strengthened tone: "I have sold this machine for almost a year. I have never heard of anyone repairing it because of some incompatibility of graphics systems. Maybe you are simply intimidating! You open your mouth and want to extort more than 100,000 yuan from me? No way!"

Zhou Shuo looked at Jason with a smile and said, "I'm right? I think Mr. Jason should know what he said."

The incompatibility problem of this computer's WIN95 system is well known to everyone at Dell. Zhou Shuo calculated the time and might have started to recall large-scale PCI graphics cards in the United States. However, Dell users in China do not have such treatment. The solution he knows is a local solution developed later on by a large number of compatibility accidents in China.

If you turn a blind eye to this failure, it will obviously have a very bad impact on Dell's product image in China. In Fatty Zhao's opinion, more than 100,000 yuan is as painful as cutting his flesh, but from Jason's perspective, a price of less than 20,000 US dollars can avoid a public relations crisis, which is obviously a very cost-effective transaction.

Jason thought for a while, but still spread his hands and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe it, but this really surprised me. You know, our Dell engineers haven't figured out what's wrong with this graphics card yet. A Chinese? Oh my God! You don't even have the circuit diagram of the graphics card, right?"

"Mr. Jason, you're too arbitrary. Who stipulates that there is no circuit diagram to repair a fault? You must know that finding defects and solving problems are often two different things."

Zhou Shuo scratched his head, conceived a few words, and then said reluctantly: "It's like the traditional Chinese medicine in our country. Some diseases are just a very thin needle and the disease is cured! The key is to find a point that can reach a balance, do you understand?"

Jason said "Wow!" and nodded with a mysterious color. "I understand that it is the magical 'acupuncture point' of China, right? It's really incredible. Does computers also have acupoints?"

Zhou Shuo quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, Mr. Jason, what we are talking about is not acupoints, but how to find a 'point' that can re-establish balance. This point is not mysterious and can be discussed and understood."

Jason was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he cheered up and said, "Well, if there is such a magical 'point', I can agree that you can buy 20 Dell Pentium computers at a price of 8,000 yuan per computer."

Fatty Zhao pulled him anxiously from the side, and couldn't help but whisper: "Mr. Jason, you can't do this, I can't afford to lose 160,000!"

Jason patted his hand perfunctorily and comforted: "Zhao, don't worry, Dell will compensate you!"

Since Jason had made up his mind, Fatty Zhao could only let go of his hand in frustration after hearing this. Even if Dell compensated for his losses afterwards, would he still compensate him for his profits? At most, it would be just to transfer him 20 computers, which was equivalent to such a big business just walking around like a flowing flow in his hands, but nothing was left behind.

"I need a soldering iron, rosin, solder, and alcohol!" When I started to deal with technical problems, Zhou Shuo immediately entered another state, exuding an aggressive domineering spirit, as if his whole painting style was different.

He asked for a mainframe, took the chassis apart, took out the motherboard and placed it on the table. First, cleaned the motherboard, and gently wiped it with fine sandpaper to the place to be changed. Then he picked up the heated soldering iron on the soldering iron rack, skillfully dipped it in rosin flux, and dipped it in some solder with the soldering iron tip to make the solder evenly apply the solder on the soldering iron tip.

When Jason saw his movements, he nodded in satisfaction. Zhou Shuo's skillful movements as smooth as water at least made his words more credible.

He first removed the capacitor on the original board. After all the solder on the solder joints were melted and the remaining leads were immersed, the soldering iron head gently lifted up along the pins and left the solder joint cleanly. After a while, the solder joints gradually cooled down. When they looked closely, the solder joints were round and full, smooth and flat. Only this hand revealed his solid basic skills.

Finally, he used alcohol to clean the remaining rosin around the solder joints, and Zhou Shuo put the soldering iron back on the soldering iron rack. He clapped his hands, exclaimed softly, and laughed: "It's done!"

Jason looked at the motherboard with only one capacitor missing and said, "Is that done?"

Zhou Shuo replied with satisfaction: "Since there is something wrong with the graphics card for the time being, isn't it enough to not run at full load? After removing this capacitor, the power supply of the graphics card cannot be increased, and the performance will not reach the peak, and naturally there will be no problem of poor heat dissipation."
