Chapter 5: Collect grain and build walls

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the Kirin Electronics Factory became busy, and Zhou Kai and Lin Dongze were reluctant to receive orders.

But at this time, Cao Mang gave the two of them a blow in the head.

Cao Mang does not intend to increase production capacity, and has deliberately controlled it. It is not that he does not want to make more money, nor is he thinking of engaging in hunger marketing. He still has many concerns.

"Mr. Cao, now is the time for us to flex our muscles, why do we need to control production capacity and shipments?" Zhou Kai and Lin Dongze asked Cao Mang angrily.

This year, the two of them each received more than 700,000 yuan in bonuses.

Does it smell good?

It must be fragrant.

And now the market has opened up and orders are flowing in.

Before the Chinese New Year, the two of them thought about working hard next year and earning a bonus of over one million.

"We are still a small company, not even an ant. If we eat too much at once, we will be full. And will those companies let us go? We can cut off our supply by just using some tricks.

Everyone will go back to planting sweet potatoes by then." Cao Mang said calmly.

"Mr. Cao is right, we are too anxious Dongze." Zhou Kai replied after pondering.

What we are facing now is not an opponent, and the entire electronics factory in Wanwan is really going to be over if we are not careful.

Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Elite, which of these companies has less than one billion assets, how many orders do they bring to those chip manufacturers every year?

It's ok as long as you use some tricks. It doesn't mean to cut off your purchase channels. Just raise the purchase threshold a little and you won't be able to withstand it.

Nowadays, each purchase only costs 18 million US dollars in chips. Which of these companies has never purchased more than 100 million US dollars?

Which manufacturer is willing to offend these big customers, and whether it is a chip factory or these Bayan electronics factories, the capital behind them all comes from Wall Street, and the power of capital is beyond the imagination of these two people.

"Old Zhou..." Lin Dongze wanted to say something but Zhou Kai stopped him.

Cao Mang then set a new direction for the two of them.

Kirin Computer focuses on the Internet cafe market. It also looks for OEM manufacturers to manufacture peripheral accessories and launches Kirin complete machine packages to create a Kirin Internet cafe brand. It provides free decoration plans without franchise fees and unified decoration and procurement to help Internet cafe owners reduce costs.

The two of them didn't quite understand each other, but Cao Mang also gave them an explanation.

Most people first come into contact with computers in Internet cafes. Internet cafe users will be the first to become personal computer users. Every Internet cafe will become a place to experience Kirin Computer.

Users who surf the Internet in Internet cafes are all potential users of Kirin Computer. Doesn’t this amount to free publicity?

Coupled with Cao Mang's current restrictions on production capacity, it is impossible to supply both individuals and Internet cafes at the same time.

Internet cafes are a very magical place. More than half of China's Internet users started to access computers from Internet cafes.

For the economically developed Bayan people at this time, Internet cafes were a place for poor people to experience the charm of computers. They didn't care about this market at all, or they didn't realize how big it was.

But they never thought that Internet cafes would bloom everywhere in the next few years, and even almost become a cancer that harms young people.

By the time they reacted, Kirin Computer had already occupied the high ground, and the precipitated Kirin's influence and size could match theirs.

Moreover, Cao Mang's pockets are tight now and he has to spend every penny. In addition, software development companies are also gold-eating beasts. Although code farmers are very cheap now, they still have to spend nearly one million every month.

....

Internet cafes have also entered an explosive period since 2002.

Zhou Kai and Lin Dongze actively customized plans. Under the temptation of various big cakes and benefits, Internet cafe owners who had already purchased and new purchases agreed to join the Internet Cafe Alliance.

The emergence of Qilin Internet Cafe has taken away the business of many Internet cafe owners.

On the same street, Qilin Internet Cafe was overcrowded, and the occupancy rate of their own Internet cafe was less than half. After they went to experience it, they discovered the difference. The running speed was more than half faster.

Some Internet cafes with old machines have also begun to think about replacing their computers, and they also want to join the Kirin chain of Internet cafes. Look at the decoration and environment of others, which are simply incomparable.

Moreover, there is no charge to join the Kirin Internet Cafe Alliance. Although Kirin computers are a little more expensive than ordinary computers, they are fast. With unified decoration and unified procurement, the cost is not much more expensive at all.

Cao Mang also came up with a mature technology that only appeared in six or seven years. This technology not only reduces the cost of hard drives, but also reduces the need for technicians in Internet cafes and improves computer operation speed.

Half a year later, the number of Kirin Internet cafes grew rapidly, and the demand for computer peripheral accessories also gradually increased, which also increased a lot of profits for Kirin Electronics Factory.

Kirin mouse and keyboard, Kirin headphone speakers, Kirin computer cases, Kirin power supplies, etc. began to be sold for personal computers.

Kirin peripherals have relatively high requirements for OEM quality, and the cost is about 30% higher than that of ordinary brands.

A sudden unicorn wind blew up in the domestic computer city, which confused many dealers.

....

"Why is your keyboard and mouse so difficult to use? I want a Kirin mouse and keyboard. Do you have one here? If not, I don't want it. I can just buy it myself."

"Handsome guy, the Kirin mouse and keyboard are very expensive. They cost almost two hundred yuan per set. They are more expensive than Logitech. Are you sure you want them?"

"Yes, I need a Kirin mouse and keyboard, and do you have a Kirin power supply? Give me one of those too."

"Kirin Power Supply? Can't it be from Great Wall? All the power supplies we sell here are Great Wall power supplies."

"No, no, I need Kirin's power supply. You can see that the Internet cafe is open 24 hours a day and there is no problem. The quality must be excellent."

"Yes, yes, but it's a bit expensive, so you have to pay extra."

The salesperson was completely confused. He didn't know what was going on recently. All the customers he met asked for Kirin accessories.

As for Qilin's agents, they were also confused. Why did you come to our door before we even started promoting it?

These people had previously complained that Kirin motherboards were in short supply and were only available in Internet cafes, and that new Kirin accessories were priced too high for fear of not being sold.

Kirin accessories are sold to Internet cafes and individual customers at different prices.

A set of mouse and keyboard for Internet cafe customers only costs 90 yuan and comes with a one-year replacement guarantee. A Kirin power supply rated at 300 watts costs 120 yuan.

Individual customers price the mouse and keyboard at RMB 199 and the power supply at RMB 239, which is several times higher than similar products.

A set of Shuangfeiyan mouse and keyboard is 60 yuan, and a Great Wall power supply is 90 yuan.

A cheap mouse and keyboard costs 25 yuan, and an unknown power supply only costs 45 yuan.

You can see how big the price difference is.

What they didn't know was that before these products were launched, the computer desktops in Kirin Internet cafes were turned into advertisements for Kirin accessories.

[Kirin mouse and keyboard is now on the market. Do you want to have a keyboard that is equally easy to use? It will be launched simultaneously in major computer stores across the country. 】

[Kirin Power is your computer protector, ensuring that your computer runs without problems 24 hours a day.]

When the Internet cafe desktop is changed, the Internet cafe team is responsible for communication. It only needs to be operated in the background. After all, Internet cafes use the Kirin Internet Cafe Management System.
