Seven hundred thousand US dollars.

Posack looked at the stack of orders with a total transaction volume of 700,000 US dollars and couldn't speak for a long time.

Sandy kept drinking coffee, but she couldn't swallow this mouthful.

Opposite the living room of her home, another partner of the company, Alice was sitting there with a smile, beside her Sophie who was driving with her.

"California Polytechnic has an extra order amount, and the portion alone is 300,000. A total of five universities have totaled 220 routers. Including the network solution design fee I designed for them, it's a total of such a number."

In later generations, Alice asked for a unit price of 2,000 US dollars, but no one thought it was a cheating man.

After all, the only manufacturer of routers is Cisco. There are still one or two years before the great development of the Internet hardware industry. Alice can be said to be in a monopoly position now. Secondly, in the current computer network, the machine that plays the role of router is an independent, expensive computer. Not only is it very heavy, but the price is definitely not as simple as the 9,000 US dollars of Apple Lisa.

So, when Alice was stress-free and asked for a mere family router that was very ordinary in future generations to cost two thousand dollars, the presidents of each university and the chair of the computer department even said excitedly that this was really cheap!

Then we can imagine how much net profit is at this transaction volume of US$700,000.

Especially at present, when Cisco has not hired a bunch of programmers with super-month salary.

"You just went to the university exchange meeting and won such a large order!?"

Posack looked very cautiously at browsing every order. After Sandy finally finished the sip of coffee, she immediately grabbed the order and read it in detail.

As the top science and engineering research institute in the United States, California Institute of Technology has a very large demand for computers.

The president of the University of California, Los Angeles also bought a considerable share in view of Alice as the daughter of her school teacher.

The total transaction volume of these two universities alone is as high as 450,000.

"The total number is 220 routers, with a unit price of 2,000 US dollars, which is 440,000 transaction volume. Then 260,000 is the construction plan design fee for the campus LAN... Alice, you are so awesome!"

Alice smiled proudly.

Generally speaking, industries with profit margins above 30% are called profit-profit industries.

In bonus items, the profit margin of intellectual property rights will always be the highest.

The most obvious comparison is the physical product sales of $440,000 and the network solution design fee of $260,000.

Of course, even at the price of the router itself, the moisture in it is very huge.

The physical cost is a router with a CPU and a circuit board. Because of its knowledge and technical content in the programming field and the current market conditions, the price of 2,000 US dollars seems exaggerated, but it actually feels like a loss-making business.

If Alice hadn't been satisfied with this level of income, even if she had to get a price of $4,000, orders would have been endless. After all, the price of the computer on the market is too high, not to mention the volume it needs to take up.

Even the most expensive Intel CPU on the market is only about $320, while Jobs hit a bargaining rate of two-thirds in 1979. Not to mention Intel, as far as the current router is concerned, isn’t the current price of $2,000, a profit margin of several times?

Although it can be higher, Alice knows very well that routers are really a product that is easy to develop. With its own beginning, similar companies in the United States will sprout from the following year. If they sell at a price too high, they will definitely fall into a passive state.

Why are the whole world using Windows? Other colleagues in Silicon Valley really make a living?

This level of victory depends on the strategic development policy, rather than on immediate interests.

When a certain brand or a certain product seizes the largest market at the fastest speed, when users are already familiar with its existence and recognize its existence, it will be difficult for other competitors to surpass it.

There are many herbal tea brands, and they are placed on the shelves together, so customers just choose Wanglaoji and Jiaduobao.

There are many brands of hot sauce, and they are placed on the shelves together, so customers just choose Lao Gan Ma and Lee Kum Kee.

It’s not that other brands are not good, but that the former has fully occupied the market and gained recognition from users.

This newly released router can certainly be worth more than 5,000 US dollars.

Many people who do not have strategic development vision often take advantage of this opportunity to quickly become nouveau riche...

But then, that kind of person can only be a nouveau riche who trades in one go. He quickly makes some money, buy a big house, buy a S-Series Mercedes-Benz, and enjoy his appetite...

Then even the money for car maintenance is short...

As a result, news about luxury car drivers asking beggars for high scratch fees have emerged one after another...

But Alice is completely different.

She is not short of money now.

After all, she is a girl born in the United States and grew up in Los Angeles. She is not a "poor peasant appearance" in the past second, but she made a fortune by making money by selling computer parts in the next second, and she made a fortune by making money by 20 cents and 300 yuan in refrigerators. Moreover, she is still a rebirth party with such a developed brain...

Anyway, as long as the development route is right, Cisco will definitely reach a market value of US$500 billion around 1999. As a major shareholder, just this item, she is destined to have tens of billions of dollars in hand. If she is now struggling with this little money, she would be too petty...

So, Alice doesn't value money at all...

This order was enough for the Posacks to work hard for a while. Contact the factory, produce hardware, and then write the program in. With just two of them, the share of these more than 200 routers is really no small matter.

If they could think that the company has only been established for three or two months, they have suddenly received such a large income!?

The registered capital is only five yuan, and the current cash is only four or five thousand yuan!

"I was almost laughing to death when I saw Sandy's eyes wide."

On the way back, Sophie drove on the picturesque California Highway 1. The coastline along the way aroused beauty, and flocks of seagulls kept flying in the sky and chirping softly.

"But think about it carefully, the gap is really big."

She smiled at Alice in the back seat and said, "On the one hand, she wanted to make better products according to your example, but she didn't have much savings, she did everything after spending so much money, and she wasted time. But at this moment, you handed over an order of 700,000 yuan in one go. I guess she...hehe...hehehe~"

Alice sat happily in the back seat, flipping the newspaper she bought in San Jose: "I didn't expect them to have a good business mind from the beginning. They are technical talents. When the company develops in the future, they can be honest as a technical supervisor. When there are more people, their shares will definitely be sparse."

Sophie nodded clearly and said, "Yes, after all, the technical patent is in your hands. To put it bluntly, they are just workers. If Sandy still has those little thoughts, at worst, she can use shares to stabilize people now and kick them out in the future."

"Hehehe~ The motivation to work is definitely the most active, especially in this early stage. As long as you can meet basic food, clothing, housing and transportation, the boss will invest in reproduction no matter how much money you make. It is much cheaper than recruiting executives in Silicon Valley. They both understand technology and are the cheapest labor~"

There is no way, Alice is really clear about the market. If she really hires a broker to run the company, her monthly salary will definitely not be a decimal, and the monthly salary level of programmers is really not low.

But on the contrary, which startup founder with low registered capital is not frugal and working hard day and night?

Compared to the monthly salary you need to pay, even if you include the dividends of shares and the benefits they can create in the early stage, it is a super cost-effective deal!

As for the company to develop...

All kinds of money are not short of money, all kinds of people are not short of people, so of course everything is easy to say and everything is easy to do~

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot!"

Looking at the newspaper, Alice shouted loudly as she opened the sports page: "The Olympics are about to begin!"
Chapter completed!
