407: A conspiracy that made Intel vomit blood!

After all, historically, no company has ever been able to maintain a dominant position and continuously monopolize the most lucrative share.

At this point, failing to eliminate the threat would only backfire, as Dawn CPU's sales share had already plummeted to 60%.

This means the other 40% of the market was taken by A.M.D and Intel, and under such circumstances, Shuguang Technology's dominant position was far from secure.

Thinking of the current challenges, all the senior executives present felt a headache.

However, while people were troubled, a suggestion subsequently made by Lin Chen instantly lit up everyone's eyes, prompting exclamations of how excellent the idea was.

Amidst the general concern, Lin Chen slowly began to speak:

“The reason for all of this is the underdeveloped Global DIY market, and the fact that many consumers are novices when it comes to computer hardware and performance parameters.

Next, we need to educate the Global public on various hardware knowledge and computer performance parameters, teaching everyone how to assemble the most suitable DIY computer for themselves.

We can produce a series of DIY computer assembly videos and educational articles, even lecture on computer knowledge on TV, and even host DIY computer assembly competitions to fully activate the Global DIY computer market.

Of course, in addition to this, Dawn Computer Operating System should also provide some advertising space resources.

In short, our goal is to thoroughly revitalize the DIY computer market, allowing people to understand computer hardware and performance parameters, and ultimately assemble their own DIY computers.”

Hearing Lin Chen’s suggestion, everyone’s eyes instantly lit up.

Although this suggestion seemed a bit complicated to implement, the actual cost was not high at all; it was an excellent suggestion with low cost and high returns.

Because whether it's popularizing computer hardware and performance parameters, or creating educational videos about computer knowledge and assembly tutorials, these are all relatively simple tasks.

It can be said that these tasks can be completed by a small team of dozens of novices, so how can the cost not be low under such circumstances?

As for popularizing computer knowledge on television, it is even simpler, and the cost is also quite low.

Because many countries almost all have one or two public service television stations or certain television stations that are required to allocate a certain amount of time for public education within a specified period.

At this time, their series of popular science computer knowledge video materials and so on are also completely related to public education.

Under such circumstances, as long as their popular science videos are free, the TV stations will naturally not refuse their computer knowledge popular science videos, and the cost will naturally be quite low.

As for subsequently publishing the popular science videos and articles on the internet and even providing certain advertising slots within the Dawn Computer Operating System, there is no need to mention it; those operations do not cost Shuguang Technology much.

Therefore, Lin Chen’s suggestion can be described as a brilliant idea with low investment and significant returns, so people cast admiring glances at Lin Chen, their eyes filled with admiration.

In response, Lin Chen, under the admiring gazes, continued:

“In addition to this, we must also vigorously promote and expose on the internet and even on television statements such as ‘How Profitable Branded Computers Are,’ ‘How Exorbitant Shop-Assembled Computers Are,’ ‘Personal Accounts of How Much Money Was Lost to Computer Shops,’ and ‘How Much Money Can Be Saved by Assembling Your Own Computer.’

I believe that with these statements and once people reach a consensus, the price advantage of Intel and A.M.D will vanish.

After all, although Intel and A.M.D’s low-end CPUs are much cheaper, their performance is too poor. Once consumers know about the power of our Ryzen Processor,

They will definitely be willing to spend a little more money to purchase our Ryzen Processor, because by purchasing our Ryzen Processor, due to its powerful performance, it can be used for three or four years, meeting the needs for the next few years.

Computers bought from Intel and A.M.D will only last one or two years before becoming slow, and their performance in both office work and gaming cannot compare to our Ryzen Processor. I believe consumers will vote with their feet then!”

“Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap…”

As Lin Chen finished speaking, warm applause erupted in the venue.

People were applauding Lin Chen’s brilliant remarks and admiring the power of his idea.

“I agree.”

General Manager Lei Bus of Shuguang Technology was the first to express his agreement with the suggestion.

“This is a brilliant idea, I also agree.”

At this moment, Sales Director Li Qianqiang also said with bright eyes, feeling that this idea was truly excellent.

Of course, at the same time, Li Qianqiang also learned from Lin Chen’s words that the coming era would be the era of DIY assembled computers.

While this DIY assembled computer era would bring some minor issues for their shuguang desktop computer, with an inevitable significant decrease in sales of complete computer units.

However, with this ebb and flow, Shuguang Technology's computer business and market share will certainly achieve even better results!

“In that case, let’s finalize this matter.”

At this moment, Lin Chen also made the final decision.

So, a new discussion then took place at the scene, during which the decision that the Dawn Five-Axis Machining Center would absolutely not be sold to United States and overseas was also unanimously passed.

This shows how angry and frustrated the senior executives present were about United States’s baseless anti-monopoly investigations and suppression.

Although Shuguang Technology was being suppressed, it had nothing to do with their Shuguang R&D Center, Shuguang Trading, Dami Mobile, Shuguang Semiconductor, and other companies, but everyone's interests were deeply intertwined.

United States’s suppression of Shuguang Technology would actually implicate all the companies within the entire Dawnlight System, so the senior executives present also harbored considerable resentment towards United States.

Under these circumstances, regarding the decision to completely prohibit the sale of the Dawn Five-Axis Machining Center overseas, the senior executives present naturally all voted in favor.

…

And so, time slowly flowed by.

In the following period, Shuguang Technology was highly efficient, and a popular science team, a DIY assembled computer research team, a DIY competition team, and other groups were quickly formed.

Then, in less than two days, Shuguang Technology officially announced that the first Global DIY Assembled Computer Competition would be held on October 1st, the National Day of Great Xia.

The total prize pool was as high as 5 million Xia Yuan, but unfortunately, that 5 million Xia Yuan was not for one person, but divided into multiple projects, and the first-place prize for a single project could only receive 200,000 yuan.

According to the competition rules announced, there were many competition categories in the DIY Assembled Computer Competition, including the Strongest Office DIY Assembled Computer Competition, the Strongest Gaming DIY Assembled Computer Competition.

There were also categories like the 4500-5000 Xia Yuan Strongest Gaming DIY Assembled Computer Competition, the 3500-4000 Xia Yuan Strongest Office DIY Assembled Computer Competition, the 1500-2000 Xia Yuan Strongest Gaming DIY Assembled Computer Competition, and so on…

This first Global DIY Computer Competition held by Shuguang Technology, although called a competition, was actually implicitly a competition that helped everyone with DIY assembled computer references!
