Technology Bigshot Chapter 380: : Triple protection, stability! ]
"The content does not conform to the genes of Matrix Technology." Ren Hong shook his head slightly and said, "Acquiring these foreign companies is just a stopgap measure. Everyone takes what they need and does not owe each other, that's all." Having said that, Ren Hong looked at a high-level executive, "If these five subsidiaries do not manage well in the future, they will be sold directly."
At this time, the director of the client perception helmet production department raised the previous question again and said: "Chairman, the current production capacity of the company cannot meet the needs of the market, and it is imminent to open up a new production line, why..."
"I will lose more than 1,000 yuan (RMB) for every set of equipment sold. The current demand for hundreds of millions of sets of equipment, and the demand for more than one billion sets of equipment in the future will all be produced by Matrix Technology, so I have to lose money How much?" Ren Hong suddenly asked the director of the production department with a smile.
"Uh... This is not to promote users! The more people who use it, the more money you make?" said the director of the production department. The chairman's rhetorical question left him baffled.
Ren Hong, who tapped the table with his five fingers, was silent for a moment, then moved his body to sit in a lazy posture, and said, "This is a thankless job, or a loss-making job, and it is impossible to avoid the suspicion of monopoly. What does it feel like to be accused of monopoly after losing hundreds of billions of RMB?"
The high-level people in the conference room looked at each other. Isn't this a dead end?
Ren Hong continued: "Of course, if we want to maximize the ultimate benefit as quickly as possible, we must sell at a loss. Since this is a loss-making job, I'm definitely not willing to quit the job that is a loss-making and thankless job. , I have to do it again, what should I do?"
"Let others do it!" Ren Hong looked around at everyone and said.
"Then what do you mean..." Zhang Han, an old friend sitting beside him, looked at him and said.
Ren Hong said: "The biggest profit point of this project is not the hardware sales, but the virtual network. How much economic benefits the platform generates directly determines our profit in this project, but we don't need to hurt to create more profits. Brains, this is what all third-party participants on the platform should do, whether they win or lose has nothing to do with us, we just wait for the water to start the game.”
"As the stability maintainer of the virtual network, we do not directly or indirectly participate in any competition on the platform. The virtual network and our detached characteristics as a stability maintainer cannot extend here, and the interests of the stability maintainer and the third party are completely divided. According to the legal income sharing of the existing platform system in the market, no one will make trouble if we act according to the rules, and we can still make a lot of money.”
“In other words, all we have to do in this project is to do a good job at the beginning, and there will be more third-party participants in the future who will spare no effort to increase new users and create profits for their own interests. We Just have a firm grasp on the real lifeblood, virtual networks and standards.”
Ren Hong added with a slight smile: "As a 'creator', I shouldn't have participated in it. God has always just indifferently overlooked everything in the mortal world from the sky without interfering with anything. In the virtual world, The rise of new wealth or the fall of old giants is like the replacement of dynasties in the mortal world. The old dynasties perish, and new dynasties are established, but he still has to worship the gods and the gods who have witnessed everything in the world. Reverence. As the stability maintainer, we, like gods, are witnesses to all this, and that's all."
A group of company executives heard Ren Hong's calm words, but there was an inexplicable pride in their hearts. As the creator of the virtual world, isn't he the God of Creation? God should be like this, smiling and watching all the changes in the mortal world.
Zhang Han smiled and said: "The metaphor of the image. Then who will take over this loss-making business?"
"Intel, HP, IBM, SAP, these IT giants, they are already on their way." Ren Hongyan said succinctly, he added: "The price of $3,998 for the perception helmet is much lower than his The actual value is even lower than the selling price of the manufacturing cost. Its real normal selling price is at least in the range of 5,000 to 5,500 US dollars. We choose to completely give up the profit of this piece and sell it at a loss in order to sacrifice the individual and maximize the short-term profit. Platform revenue is far from comparable to hardware sales, and besides, it's a little trick, hehe."
Ren Hong looked at the director of the production department and said: "The reason why we don't open up a new production line is because the client has become a burden for the company. We will only produce 150 million sets of devices at most for the perception helmet produced by Matrix Technology. I can only sell so much at a loss, no more."
“The technology of client-side perception helmets will be sold to those hardware giants one by one, let them produce and sell, let them upgrade, improve, and let them promote.” Ren Hong said.
"Doesn't this mean that the perception helmet equipment at the back will be more expensive?" Zhang Han pondered for a while, thinking of the word 'little trick' in front of him, he immediately understood it, looked up at Ren Hong, and said with a smile: "If those hardware giants take over and sell for a unit price of more than 5,000 dollars, it is estimated that consumers around the world will order them. I can understand it. I said why it was sold at a loss for more than 200 dollars less. It turns out that this is a sin trick. Ah, you are cruel enough."
"Finally I understand! I finally understand! This trick is so good! So ruthless! So stable!" A suddenly realized executive looked at Ren Hong with admiration, and he looked at other colleagues who had not thought of it yet Explained one by one: "The amount of 150 million sets of equipment is enough to lay the foundation, and then distribute the hardware products to the global hardware giants."
"It is only a preliminary stabilization to lay the foundation, but after the 150 million sets of equipment are sold at a loss, the hardware giant that takes over must survive, and will definitely not do business at a loss. To make a profit, the unit price must be raised to allow the equipment to enter the market. Normal price, unless they can bring the manufacturing cost down, which obviously can't be done in a short time."
"The 150 million sets of equipment were sold at US$3,998 first, and they raised the price. The market will definitely fluctuate violently. At this time, Matrix Technology will no longer sell clients. It is not us who raise the price. Consumers will definitely point the finger at Those hardware giants. We announced that we will stop production of equipment. If they unite against us, we will not be afraid. We still have 6 production lines, and we have sold 1.5 sets of equipment, which can fully maintain the operation of the virtual world. It started perfectly. If they dare to unite against us, we have to think about the anger and the price that we will bear next. The hardware giants who are facing life and death should think carefully about if the only way to survive is cut off, whether they have the courage to bear the price of death, they can't If they can't see through this, they will never dare and will not be foolish enough to bet on a game that is almost certain to die, so they won't appear, so they can only accept the reality."
“So they began to struggle with dealing with the market and stabilizing consumers. They had to first bring the market that the chairman had distorted secretly back to normal. While they were turning the market around, they were also popularizing the infrastructure of our virtual world. , and we have not only lost this big burden at this moment, but also avoided being entangled by monopoly, but also stepped up the pace to build a virtual ecology. When they turn the market around, we have further consolidated the virtual ecology, fast fish eat slow fish, The winner-take-all Internet effect is also effective here, the overall situation of the virtual network has been determined, and the pattern is certain.”
“Since this way, we can sell client technology to the world without any scruples. We have the best of both worlds. We seize standards, consolidate the global virtual network ecology, and hold on to the core technology of virtual networks. Under these threefold insurances, Steady! It's too stable! It basically doesn't give them any chance to create their own virtual network."
With his explanation, all the high-level executives in the room suddenly realized. At the same time, they admired Ren Hong's foresight and layout ability. At first, many people did not understand why they sold the client for more than 200 US dollars. It turned out that he did not think of it at all. If you have to start promoting the basic hardware facilities yourself, I am afraid that analysts around the world will not think of this.
Ren Hong said with a light smile: "Under the triple insurance, if they can break through these three shackles, I am willing to lose, but I really can't think of how to lose. Even if I know all this, I stand on their point of view. , how did you say this game was broken?"
There was a burst of pleasant laughter from the conference room, "The core technology of virtual network is in hand, the standard is in hand, and the ecology is formed. How can we break it? This game cannot be broken at all, and there is no solution."
"The script has been written, and now it's time to direct it." Ren Hong smiled and looked around the audience. When everyone heard this sentence, they suddenly raised their heads and looked at Ren Hong without saying a word. , After a while, he looked sideways at a senior executive and said, "A Ling, you are responsible for drafting a plan..." Ren Hong tapped the table with his **** frequently, and said while thinking: "...the name is It is called the "New Economic Forum Summit", which will be held at the company's headquarters two months later. It is open to all companies in the world, whether they are technology companies or other enterprises, whether they are large, medium or small enterprises. Another important point, especially Internet companies and companies that are very dependent on the Internet, such as logistics companies, etc., all these companies send them a specific invitation letter in the name of Matrix Technology to show their respect, and no large and medium-sized enterprises of considerable weight will fall. Send an invitation. In addition, super giants such as uber, Amazon, and k will send invitations in my name.”
"Okay, Chairman."
Ren Hong nodded lightly and looked around the audience again, "Before it's time to sit back and relax, the purpose of this forum summit for companies all over the world is to create a virtual ecosystem and let them participate in it as soon as possible."
"...let the meeting go away!"
