Chapter 182 Wealth shrinks
Jinsi Company was established because of the research on routers, but now it takes at least half a year to develop routers to have preliminary products. Before that, Jinsi Company had no other business.
However, since the company has been established, there must be some business to support it. After accidentally seeing Apple's sales report, Du Qi suddenly thought that Jinsi Company might be able to do computer agency sales business.
As far as Duqi knows, Dell Computer, a computer company that was famous in its previous life, actually started with computer assembly and sales, and finally gradually developed its own brand.
Since other people can do it, there is no reason why Jinsi Company cannot do the same thing.
Now that personal computers have just appeared, they have become an emerging thing. However, not many have personal computers. Many schools are preparing to purchase some, offer related majors and courses in computer engineering, and there are also some programming training classes, which are in line with the times. Some individuals are also potential purchase targets, with a broad market prospect.
Another key point is that many customers who buy personal computers in large quantities are also potential customers of routers, some companies, schools, computer training classes, etc. Through the relevant list, once the router is researched, it can save half of the effort during market development.
It has its own computer company. Duqi knows the situation in the entire industry. Currently, computer sales are not high, and many products are backlogged in warehouses and cannot be sold. In this case, Duqi can buy parts at the best price, then assemble them with upgraded performance, and then hand them over to customers as soon as possible.
In fact, Michael Dell, who is far away in Texas, also had the same idea this year and used a savings of one thousand dollars to start a company and prepare to assemble and sell computers by himself.
With Michael Dell, who started from scratch, Duqi still has many advantages. First of all, Duqi, who owns a computer company, can get more discounted prices when purchasing parts. Jinsi's computer parts should be purchased from Apple as much as possible, unless there are some parts that are really cost-effective and can offer more discounts.
Secondly, when selling computers of Jinsi Company, it is easier to use Duqi's own connections and fame to open up the market. Although there are many news reports on Duqi recently, next month, after the brand new Apple computer and graphics operating system are launched, I believe that public opinion will be reversed to a great extent.
The third advantage is that Duqi has more abundant funds. With sufficient funds, he can expand his business from the beginning, occupy more markets, and have the advantage of starting the game.
Moreover, Jinsi computers and Apple computers can also complement each other. According to Duqi's plan, it is now the market development stage. Apple and Jinsi Company will expand the market together at the beginning. When the market segmentation is needed, Apple computers will take the high-end route, and Jinsi's computers can take the popular route. In this way, they will avoid competition and cooperate with each other to occupy the personal computer market.
In addition to hardware devices such as computers, Apple is also an important business for system software, which is equivalent to occupying the original Microsoft market. Its own technology and capital reserves are strong enough, and there is no reason to compete with Microsoft.
It can be said that Duqi has been determined to mess up many things in his previous life's memory. However, since he is doing computer sales, Duqi also needs to hire a sales talent to be in charge of Jinsi Company. Thinking of this, he sent the request to the headhunter company. Without waiting for the result, Duqi went to Los Angeles Airport first.
It was Melis who was about to come back from Paris. He looked very energetic. After a simple hug, the two of them started chatting about the recent situation. After Melis said that she met Sophie Marceau in Paris and became friends with her, Duches seemed to have some unnatural in his heart.
Duches joked that he didn't know a few handsome guys in Paris again? But Melis said: "It's true that some troublesome guys are tangled up, thinking they are funny and romantic, but in fact they are self-righteous. They don't have much real skills, and they are not as good as you."
Regarding Melis's comment, Duqi couldn't help but say: "There are no ones in the world who can have the ability like me."
He gave Duqi a roll of his eyes, but Melis did not refute that Duqi became a super rich man in business so quickly. If he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, Melis would have thought it was telling a story. None of the famous rich men in American history could do this at such a young age.
This time when Melis came back, only Duches came to pick him up. Duches booked a seat at the famous Falilan Restaurant in Los Angeles. When the two arrived at the restaurant, a welcome staff naturally came to entertain him. After sitting down, he handed the coat to the welcome staff and then asked them to serve appetizers.
The air was filled with a comfortable fragrance. Three silver knives and three silver tableware were placed on both sides of the plate. The guests around him looked dull, but their faces were business cards. For example, a middle-aged white man who was talking about business. Duqi knew him, the chief financial officer of HP, who had been in a magazine, earned millions of dollars a year and held a small amount of shares in HP. The young man sitting with him was Packard, and his grandfather was one of the co-founders of HP.
For Duqi, dining in such a formal Western restaurant, it was also after going to college. Before that, Duqi didn't know what to eat with the three knives and three forks in front of him. This is a restaurant for the rich. A meal is the income of many middle-class people for several months, and for most of the guests on the scene, they don't have to worry about it at all.
Thinking of these things, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Duqi's eyes, and then returned to normal, and then said: "I have already ordered the dish. I hope you have been in Europe for several years and your taste has not changed much."
"I didn't expect you to remember what I like, which was an unexpected surprise." Melis smiled and said, "A boyfriend I dated last year is usually quite interesting, but he is often self-centered and rarely remembers what I like!"
Duqi raised his eyebrows: "I haven't heard you say this."
"I don't need to report everything to you." Melis said casually: "That guy is the brother of a classmate of mine. His father is a hereditary count. He met in Milan three years ago. Later, he had a lot of contact in Paris. He took the initiative to pursue it and wanted to talk about it. It was usually funny, but with the inherent pride of the French, we also had many differences in our views on art and business, and we felt that we couldn't get along, so we ended after half a month of talk."
