139 Preparing for the Press Conference
Finally, the topic returned to the pricing of the brainwave receiver.
"The price of the brainwave receiver is temporarily set at 100,000 yuan per set, including the mainframe computer, the Divine Dragon System, and the brainwave receiver." After careful consideration, Li Chengqian gave an extremely favorable price.
The cost price of the entire system was 8,092 yuan.
The computer mainframe cost 5,000 yuan.
The brainwave receiver cost about 1,500 yuan.
The Divine Dragon System was priced at 199 yuan per year. Based on the eight years of use, the system cost 1,592 yuan.
He Hongyan and the others were stunned when they heard this price.
Because the price was much lower than they had expected!
The psychological expected price of the brainwave receiver was about 1 million yuan per unit, and Li Chengqian was offering to sell it for 100,000 yuan per unit.
It was unbelievably cheap!
"President Li, I want all five of them!"
"Sell them all to me! I'll pay one million!"
"President Li, I want to order 1,000 units!"
Immediately, the industry big shots started clamoring over the ownership of the five brainwave receivers.
They even began to discuss how to split the future orders amongst themselves.
This scene stunned Zhao Na.
Li Chengqian said in a raised voice, "Listen to me."
Seeing that he had finally got everyone's attention, Li Chengqian continued, "Each of you will bring one set back to try it out."
"President He, you just said that Android wants to update the SDK on the morning of April 13th? They are aiming to make Android apps incompatible with the Divine Dragon System, right?" Li Chengqian changed the topic.
After receiving He Hongyan's affirmative answer, he said with a smile, "The Divine Dragon Software Company has been established for a period of time and has also developed some products, but there hasn't been a press conference."
"I will take this opportunity to hold a press conference."
"The press conference will be held online at 2pm on April 13th."
"The brainwave receiver, the computer version of the Divine Dragon System, and the Divine Dragon Compiler will all be released at the press conference."
Li Chengqian looked at He Hongyan and started making arrangements.
"President He, there are two things I need your help with."
"Firstly, please help me with the advance publicity work and communicate the relevant matters regarding the live broadcast of the press conference. All expenses will be paid by Divine Dragon Software."
"Secondly, the Divine Dragon Software Company's plan to manufacture their own phones has been put on hold for the time being. Contact the factory to manufacture brainwave receivers for us! We are seven days away from the press conference. I need the factory to help manufacture at least 10,000 brainwave receivers."
Li Chengqian was not interested in the PowerPoint press conference. Since it was a press conference, he had to present the real thing.
Not only was the brainwave receiver going to be demonstrated at the press conference, but it was also going to be sold!
"Alright!" He Hongyan nodded solemnly.
Then, Li Chengqian's gaze shifted to Zhou Shaoyun. "President Zhou, I also need your help with this press conference."
"Firstly, please provide one million sets of the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones for sale at the press conference!"
"Secondly, please ask the engineers from the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company to help demonstrate the brainwave receiver."
"No problem!" Zhou Shaoyun nodded solemnly. This press conference was very important not only to the Divine Dragon Software Company, but also to the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company.
After Li Chengqian nodded, he next turned to Wang Renfei.
"President Wang, please help me prepare 100,000 sets of the Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone for the press conference."
Now that Huawei was running down the chip inventory for the Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone, Li Chengqian's request for 100,000 sets of the phone at the press conference would mean that they would be out of stock a month in advance.
Wang Renfei nodded. He would support it without any hesitation. "No problem! How about this? I'll take out 200,000 sets of Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone for the press conference."
"President Wang, are you interested in collaborating on the computer version of the Divine Dragon System? I remember that your company also produces computers. Help me prepare 10,000 computers for installation of the Divine Dragon System, to bundle as a set for the brainwave receiver. How about that?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile.
He understood the principle of scratching each other's back.
Wang Renfei was willing to take out two months' quota to support Li Chengqian despite such difficult circumstances. Li Chengqian naturally knew what he needed to do in return.
Coincidentally, the brainwave receiver also needed the support of computers.
"No problem! I'll definitely get it done for you!" Wang Renfei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"By the way, please keep the function of the Divine Dragon compiler a secret for the time being. The publicity will mainly focus on the brainwave receiver."
"Android Company worked hard to develop a new SDK so as to ban the Divine Dragon System from using Android apps and deal a fatal blow to the Divine Dragon System."
"For humanitarian reasons, we have to make Android happy for a while."
After the release of the Dragon God Compiler, Android no longer had a chance to be happy.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh. They all felt relaxed and relieved.
"President Li, after this lesson, Android will definitely not dare to cause trouble in front of you," Zhou Shaoyun said with a smile.
"I'm guessing that Android and Android's parent company will definitely be furious at President Li's press conference. The SDK that they worked so hard to build will become trash."
"The higher-ups of Windows and Apple will definitely hit the roof."
After the release of the Divine Dragon Compiler.
The software ecology that Windows, Apple, and Android had worked so hard to build over the years would be directly inherited by the Divine Dragon System, allowing the application ecology of the Divine Dragon System to be instantly perfected.
This was daylight robbery.
This was in effect robbing these companies of their lifeblood.
"I really want to see the senior management of these operating system companies hopping mad." Wang Renfei said, feeling high spirited. Ever since supply of the Qilin chip was cut off last year, he had been holding back his fury.
This time, he felt especially vindicated to be able to make the international operating system giants suffer a huge loss.
"President Li, you have developed the Divine Dragon Compiler. In terms of software, the international giants can no longer do anything to the Divine Dragon System. However, the international giants will definitely not let this go. They will resort to anything. You have to be careful." At this moment, Wang Renfei began to worry about Li Chengqian's personal safety.
In order to protect their own interests, the foreign giants wouldn't have any regard for law and order. It was a piece of cake for them to put a bounty on his head.
"President Wang, don't worry. I know what I'm doing!" Li Chengqian nodded confidently.
With a change of tone, Li Chengqian led the way downstairs. "It won't be long before our press conference. Our missions are very important."
"Come, let's go through the details first before everyone part ways and do their own work. There mustn't be any slip ups at this press conference."
After taking two steps, Li Chengqian realized that something was amiss. He turned around and saw that Wang Renfei and the others didn't come along with him. Even Zhao Na didn't do so.
He turned back and realized that Wang Renfei and the other three had already returned to the table where the brainwave receivers were placed. Everyone's faces were filled with excitement as they tried to take the brainwave receiver and the mainframe with them.
Li Chengqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Is this really necessary? Don't worry, I'll arrange everything for you!"
"I can't rest assured until it has been shipped to my company."
"To be honest, I'm afraid you'll go back on your word."
"Brainwave receivers. I cannot overestimate the importance of an avant garde technological equipment that changes the structure of the information industry."
After the few of them finished speaking, Li Chengqian was speechless. "Zhao Na, go find a few people to pack up these machines. When President He and the others are about to leave, send them directly to the car."
"Director Zhao, help me keep an eye on it when your men are doing the packing later. Tell them to be gentle. Don't break it," Wang Renfei instructed Zhao Na worriedly.
After giving their instructions, the few of them reluctantly went downstairs and walked quickly to the meeting room.
If not for the importance of this press conference, they would definitely have preferred to wait till the machine has been safely packed and placed in their cars before they can be assured.
