Big Country Technology Starts with Mobile Phones - Chapter 188 Directly connecting alone

It’s normal for Zhang Jianzhi not to understand. A young employee of Dalang Technology gave the answer: “When I usually buy a mobile phone, if I don’t have enough money, I will buy a mobile phone case first!”

Buy the phone case first, then make the phone your goal, and finally buy it through hard work. The joy and sense of accomplishment are very high.

But…the initial price of Dalang X16 is only 2999! Then if I think about it carefully, in fact, the lower the price of the product, the more sensitive the audience will be to the budget, because they don’t have much money.

Just think about it, if a person’s budget is really sufficient, then he will most likely not choose a cost-effective model like Dalang X16. Many merchants charge very high prices for new products.

But they ignored one problem. In real life, a considerable number of people cannot even afford 2,000 yuan, nor can they afford a computer.

If Dalang Pad3 had not lowered the entry barrier for computers, many people would not even have a tablet at home, so Liu Dalang believes that Dalang X16 is an entry-level computer with a very precise positioning.

And it has reached the pinnacle of Dalang Technology’s cost performance. Even in actual tests, the Dalang 1050 in Dalang X16 has a 10 to 15% loss compared to the Dalang 1050 graphics card on the desktop.

It doesn’t matter. You can buy such a product for 3,000 yuan, which is the only one on the market. Even if the number of people watching Dalang’s press conference is not large, it still has a great influence.

And one advantage of setting a low price is that the life cycle of this product will be very long. Even if Nvidia and AMD graphics cards reduce their prices, they will still not work on entry-level products.

Because the price of Dalang 1050 can also be reduced, when the price of a product reaches a point where everyone can easily afford it, the influence cannot be compared to monkey tricks and hype.

Liu Dalang believes that in a strict sense, Dalang Technology can be regarded as backed by Cube and Taipower, specializing in the entry-level market, but Dalang Technology’s products are obviously better.

As soon as Dalang X16 came out, we didn’t even need to look at the sales volume, because it couldn’t be low. With nearly 10,000 Dalang directly-operated stores, the shipment volume couldn’t be low, not to mention that the price was really low.

In just three days, Dalang X16 won the title of “the most powerful entry-level notebook in history”. Various reviews were all over the place. In terms of games, it was basically a 50-50 tie with the GTX1050.

Taking specific games as an example, other entry-level game laptops with the same configuration can open up a gap of 5 to 10 frames at most, but this frame rate becomes insignificant in the face of a price difference of more than 1,500.

Of course, there are also many negative comments about Dalang X16, which mainly focus on several aspects: workmanship, performance release, loud fan noise, average screen display, and poor battery life.

for example:

“The body of Dalang X16 has very poor rigidity. It is officially advertised as metal, but in fact it has a very strong plastic feel. The 16:9 1080p screen is not fine!”

“As soon as I turned on the performance mode, I felt like a helicopter was about to take off! I was playing games in my room, and my mother asked me if it was raining outside…”

“The noise is really loud, and the frame rate cannot go up in balanced mode. It’s really uncomfortable! All five roommates were staring at me at night!”

“The graininess of Dalang X16 is obvious, and jagged edges can be seen on the edges of the fonts. Compared with my mobile phone, the display fineness is much worse!”

“Bad review! The Dalang sticker I bought was put on crookedly! Then it had a small hole… I applied for after-sales service, but the customer service refused to give me a refund!”

“The sound quality is also very average! If there is bass in the song, the casing will resonate!”

“Playing games is okay. I can’t hear it when I hang up my headphones, but the battery drains a bit too fast!”

“Yes! The 60wh battery isn’t so durable, right? It will run out of power in a while!”

“too poor!!!”

“…”

Sometimes this phenomenon is very strange. Many manufacturers are crazily piling up materials on entry-level products, even competing with the best in the world at the same price, but the effect is not necessarily very good, and it will also attract trolls.

On the contrary, there are almost no trolls for an IQ tax product priced at tens of thousands or even tens of thousands. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. Unfortunately, even if they troll it, it will be of no use.

It still cannot change the fact that Dalang X16 is the “most powerful entry-level notebook” in 2016. As for 2017… there will definitely be some manufacturers using Dalang 1050 to launch more cost-effective products.

But the strongest one is definitely Dalang notebook. Without Dalang X16, they still have Dalang X17 with increased quantity and no price increase. The only one who can beat Dalang is Dalang himself, and nothing else can!

There is no need to pay attention to these trolls. In many people’s minds, manufacturers should not make money, and manufacturers should use all the best accessories on the market. Price? Directly for free!

Otherwise, these people don’t know what satisfaction is! Dalang Technology produces these cost-effective products not to meet the needs of trolls, but to meet the needs of normal users.

They care more about users who normally use Dalang products and reasonable negative reviews, rather than some consumers who use high-end laptops and demand Dalang notebooks. This is the key point.

Two consecutive press conferences in December allowed Nebula/Dalang Technology to make a lot of money before the year. Needless to say, the Spark product, with the more daily lightweight version of the Spark-Flame, sales increased by leaps and bounds.

Interestingly, although the first sales performance of the fourth-generation Spark is more than twice that of the third-generation, not many people buy the lightweight version of Spark-Flame, and the largest number of people buy tablets.

“What is this?”

Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison. Xinghuo/Xingyu tablets can no longer be regarded as simple small-sized tablets. They are more like large-sized mobile phones. This is the advantage of small-sized tablets.

Combining many advantages such as portability, large screen, and battery life, small-size tablets will be very popular until five years later. It’s just that domestic manufacturers are unwilling to make them. There are three specific reasons:

One is that small-size tablets will divert the smartphone market away, the other is that the adaptation of horizontal screen applications has always been a pain for Android, and the last one is simpler, there are enough small-size tablets.

From 2012 to 2020, manufacturers have released small-size tablets every year in the past eight years, but the sales volume… is a bit hard to describe.

In addition, mainstream manufacturers such as Samsung and Apple have been enlarging tablets. In the end, domestic manufacturers are unwilling to produce small-sized tablets. The positioning is too awkward and the investment and return are not proportional.

It would be better to just make a large-screen audio-visual artifact, work on cost-effectiveness, and fool the novices who don’t understand the configuration offline. I have to say that this is also an idea, but unfortunately it is not correct.

In the major markets newly opened by Nebula Technology, consumers are also going crazy. Who would have thought that the Xinghuo-Fantasy Flame, which was being warmed up all the time some time ago, would be discontinued right away. It is simply outrageous!

After understanding the specific reasons, some people directly targeted Nvidia, while others suggested that Nebula Technology could use other manufacturers, such as AMD’s RX460 and 470D.

AMD even took the initiative to test Nebula Technology and asked a senior executive to release the news, saying that AMD’s graphics card inventory is sufficient and the transportation safety is very high, and there will definitely be no accidents!

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. AMD also publicly mocked NVIDIA, calling them “kicked in the brain by a donkey.” Little did they know that they often committed suicide themselves.

Since AMD took the initiative to offer an olive branch, Liu Dalang had no reason not to accept it. Therefore, the diplomatic team led by Jain took the lead in conducting a wave of contact with AMD, and the specific results were not satisfactory.

It’s a pity that although the A-cards these days are very cost-effective, they are still incomparable with N-cards in some aspects. Nebula Technology does not want graphics cards like RX460, and must start with RX470D.

The theoretical performance of RX470D will be second only to GTX1060 and better than GTX1050Ti. It is a good substitute. It is also a very best-selling graphics card, but there is a problem:

If Spark-Fantasy uses A card, the price will definitely drop, and the actual performance is likely to be inferior to GTX1060. Faced with this situation, a very powerful function is needed:

“Direct connection alone!”

This is a killer tool. To put it simply, it blocks the core display and forces independent display output. In actual performance, it can increase the number of game frames. The main source of this technology is actually from Nvidia.

However, it is not difficult for Nebula Technology to achieve this. It is just that the process is a bit troublesome. It takes some time to change the motherboard wiring and adapt to AMD graphics cards, which takes a long time.

Liu Dalang found the Ru0026D department and evaluator team of Nebula Technology and asked: “From receiving the goods to adapting to mass production, when is the fastest time it can be completed? Is three months enough?”

When the appraiser team heard this, they suddenly became numb: “Chairman! You also know that A card and N card are different! We have to test the goods after we get them, and we have to pass the certification, and…”

“I know it will be a little late, so I will save everything that can save time. It must be completed within three months!”

Otherwise, the Spark-Fantasy product will become the shortest-lived product in the history of Nebula Technology, and consumers will not be able to wait. The most important thing is that Liu Dalang is afraid that technology will develop too fast…

With Dalang Technology taking the lead, Nebula Technology has spared no efforts in the research and development of graphics cards. He is worried that by then AMD’s graphics cards will not be used yet, and Nebula Technology’s graphics cards will be mass-produced.

Although this is a good thing, the benefits brought by the product Starfire-Fantasy Flame will be greatly reduced, so if the mass production of the revised Spark-Fantasy Flame is not achieved within three months, then simply give up on this product. Fully switch to other products.

The reason why we are so anxious is because the first commercial Loongson designed and invested by Huaxia has a high probability to be launched next year, and then Nebula Technology’s PC products will be fully updated.

Further enhance product autonomy and gradually no longer rely on international manufacturers such as Intel, Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, AMD, etc. to create PC products that truly belong to China!

There is no need to worry about security issues, because the architecture of commercial Loongson is completely different from that of non-commercial ones, and there is not even any connection. For this reason, Nebula Technology is also preparing to launch a new system.

Lin Dong and others were very excited when they learned that Nebula Technology was likely to launch a PC system next year. This PC system was not mature, and there were some loopholes in Chinese programming that had not yet been filled.

But this does not prevent it from being an epoch-making system. It represents Nebula Technology’s first step towards becoming a technology giant and establishing a technology empire, and it is no longer dependent on the technology of other manufacturers!

Seriously, is Microsoft Windows easy to use? There are only a few versions that are easy to use, and most of the remaining versions are quite difficult to use, but it doesn’t mean you can’t use it if you don’t want to.

There is nothing the major computer manufacturers can do. Some small manufacturers can’t even get technical support. What can they do? Apple computers are also riddled with problems, so this is a good opportunity.

However, ordinary people have no idea about this part of the news, not even the digital bloggers from Nebula Marketing Department. They can only guess that Nebula Technology will make a big move next year.

But what exactly it is… It’s really hard to say. The only thing on the bright side is 5G. Officials attach great importance to this. 5G communication base stations are being built every day, and some competition for interests has also begun.

At the beginning of the 5G era, there was a debate between true and false 5G. For example, 5G that only supports NSA networking is false, 5G that supports SA networking is true, and 5G that does not support the N79 frequency band is false…

Finally, there is the external baseband/integrated baseband, Sub-6G/millimeter wave debate. Then, everyone no longer debates about true and false 5G, and starts to debate whether 5G is a big improvement compared to 4G.

There are also some people who have made the slogan that 4G experience is better than 5G. What is true and what is false depends on the actual situation. Even different battery levels may affect the user experience.

Therefore, it is meaningless to use only part of the data for promotion. There are too many variables during testing, but the improvement of 5G is unquestionable. Nebula Technology is to be a pioneer in the 5G era.

In order to pave the way for the development of Nebula Technology next year, Liu Dalang held a high-level meeting at the end of December and made a decision:

“In order to maintain competitiveness and further improve the service quality of Nebula Technology, Star Express will return to China on January 10 next year to make efforts for the development of Nebula Technology!”

“good!”

“Star Express should have returned a long time ago! Using Nebula Technology’s ready-made outlets, the delivery speed will definitely be much faster than those of the cooperating express companies! The product competitiveness will naturally be stronger!”

“No, it’s not that simple… The return of Star Express is not just for delivering express, it means that we will further open up the Internet market and maximize Star Express!”

“I’ve had this intention for a long time! With our own express delivery network, the monetization ability of some projects will be stronger! Hey, tell me, when we deliver express delivery, we shouldn’t use that thing to deliver it, right?”

“What? You mean…his! It shouldn’t be right? Isn’t that thing just a semi-finished product? If true…I can guarantee that Star Express can open up the express delivery market in a short time!”

“Ask the bosses in the Ru0026D department and see what they say~ Can they give out some information so that we can all prepare in advance!”

“It’s okay, no need for now!”

Since Liu Dalang didn’t talk about this matter, they don’t need to rush it. The key is to solve the things that need to be solved first.
