The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 62: , The so-called way of doing business

   Seven hundred thousand dollars.

   Bosak looked at the stack of orders with a total turnover of 700,000 U.S. dollars, and was speechless for a long time.

  Santi kept the posture of drinking coffee, but couldn't swallow this bite.

   Across from my own living room, another partner of the company, Alice, is sitting there with a smile, beside Sophie who drove to accompany her.

"Caltech’s orders are extraordinarily large. It alone has 300,000. The total of five universities makes a total of 220 routers. Counting the network solution design fees I designed for them, the total It's such a number."

   An uncommon home router for later generations, Alice opened her mouth to ask for a unit price of two thousand dollars, but no one thought it was cheating.

   After all, the current manufacturer of routers is really only Cisco, and there is still a year or two away from the great development of the Internet hardware industry. Alice can really be said to be in a monopoly now. Secondly, in the current computer network, the machine that acts as a router is an independent and expensive computer, which is not only very heavy, but the price is by no means as simple as the Apple Lisa's nine thousand dollars.

   So, when Alice was unstressed and ignorant of her conscience and asked for a mere $2,000 for a family router that would not be the case for later generations, the presidents of the universities and their computer department heads even excitedly said that this is really cheap!

   It is also possible to imagine how much the net profit is under the turnover of 700,000 US dollars.

   Especially at this time, when Cisco hasn't hired a bunch of super-high monthly salary programmers.

   "You just went to the university exchange meeting, and you got such a big order!?"

   Bosak glanced at each order with extreme caution. After Santi finished the sip of coffee, he immediately grabbed the order and read it in detail.

   As the nation’s top science and engineering research institute, California Institute of Technology has a huge demand for computers.

   University of California, Los Angeles, the principal saw that Alice was the daughter of his school’s teacher, and he also bought a lot of shares.

   The total turnover of these two universities is as high as 450,000.

"The total is two hundred and twenty routers, the unit price is two thousand US dollars, which is a turnover of 440,000. Then 360,000 yuan is the design fee for the construction of the campus LAN... Alice, you are really amazing. !"

   Alice smiled triumphantly.

   Generally speaking, industries with profit margins higher than 30% are called profiteering industries.

  In terms of bonus points, the profit margin of intellectual property is always the highest.

   The sales of physical products of US$440,000 and the network solution design fee of US$360,000 are the most obvious contrast.

   Of course, even in the price of the router itself, the moisture in this is huge.

   The physical cost is a router with a CPU and a circuit board. Because of its programming knowledge and technology content and the current market conditions, the price of two thousand dollars may seem exaggerated, but in fact it feels like a trade at a loss.

   If Alice had not been satisfied with this level of income, even if she had to reach the price of four thousand dollars, the order would actually be endless. After all, the current alternative on the market, the price of the computer is too high, let alone the volume it needs to occupy.

   Even the most expensive new Intel CPU on the market, the unit price is only about 320 US dollars, and Jobs also set a bargaining range of two-thirds in 1979. Not to mention Intel, as far as the current router is concerned, the current price of two thousand dollars is not a profit margin of several times?

Although it can be higher, Alice knows that routers are really a product that is easy to develop. After starting with her, companies of the same type in the United States will spring up, if they sell at a price. If it is too high, then it will definitely fall into a passive state.

   Why are windows being used all over the world? Other colleagues in Silicon Valley really eat dry rice?

   This degree of victory depends on the development policy at the strategic level, rather than focusing on immediate benefits.

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

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

There are many    hot sauce brands. They are all on the shelves, and customers choose Lao Gan Ma and Lee Kum Kee.

  It’s not that other brands can’t do it, but that the former has fully occupied the market and gained the recognition of users.

   With this newly released router, Alice can of course open up her mouth, directly asking for a unit price of more than five thousand US dollars.

  Many people who do not have a strategic vision for development will often take advantage of this opportunity to quickly make themselves upstarts...

   But then, that kind of person can only be a nouveau riche in a one-off deal. He quickly made a lot of money, quickly bought a big house, quickly bought an S-series Mercedes, and quickly became addicted...

   Then even the money to keep a car is short...

   So, the news of luxury car drivers asking beggars for high scalping fees is endless...

   But Alice is completely different.

   She has no shortage of money now.

She was also a girl who was born in the United States and grew up in Los Angeles. She was a "poor peasant face" in the last second. The next second she made a fortune by selling computer parts and relied on two cents at a cost of three hundred yuan. The "sea talent" who made a fortune in the refrigerator, not to mention that she is still a rebirth party with such a developed brain...

   Anyway, as long as the development path is right, Cisco will inevitably reach a market value of 500 billion US dollars around 1999. As a major shareholder, with this item alone, she is destined to have a net worth of tens of billions. If she is now entangled with this little money, she would be too petty...

   So, Alice doesn’t care about money at all...

   This order is enough for the Bossacks to work hard for a long time. Contact the factory, produce the hardware, and then write the program. With their two people, the share of more than two hundred routers is really not a trivial matter.

   If they could have imagined, the company had only three or two months since its establishment, and they have received such a large amount of income all at once! ?

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

   "Seeing Sandy's wide-eyed eyes, I almost laughed."

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

   "But thinking about it, the gap is really big."

She smiled at Alice in the back seat: "On the one hand, she wanted to make a better product based on your example. As a result, ebkau didn't have much savings. After so much money, everything was done and time was lost. And you It happened at this moment that she handed over an order of 700,000 yuan in one go. I guess she...hehe...hehehe~"

Alice sat in the back seat contentedly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com flipping through the newspaper she bought in San Jose: "I didn't expect their business acumen from the beginning to be good, technical talents, etc. When the company develops in the future, it is enough to be the technical director honestly. When there are more people, their shares will definitely have to be sparse."

Sophie nodded clearly: "Yes, after all, the technology patent is in your hands. The two of them are just wage earners. If Sandy always hides those careful thoughts, it's a big deal now to use shares to stabilize people, and in the future Just kick it out."

"Hehehe~ The motivation to work for myself is definitely the most positive, especially in this early stage. As long as the basic food, clothing, housing and transportation can be met, the boss will invest in reproduction no matter how much money he makes, which is comparable to our recruitment in Silicon Valley. The executives are much cheaper~it just so happens that both of them also understand the technology, the labor force that can't be more cheap~"

   No way, Alice is too clear about the market. If you really ask a broker to run the business, the monthly salary expenditure will definitely not be a decimal, not to mention the programmer's monthly salary level is really not low.

   But on the contrary, which startup founder with low registered capital does not work hard day and night?

   Compared with the monthly salary that needs to be paid, even if the share dividend is included, compared with the income they can create in the early stage, it is a super cost-effective business!

   As for when the company develops...

  All kinds of money are not bad, all kinds of people are not bad, of course it is easy to talk about everything, everything is easy to handle~

   "Oh, yes, I almost forgot!"

   Looking at the newspaper, when opening the sports page, Alice shouted: "The Olympics are about to begin!"
