Chapter 646: Captain Liu

Jingcheng, Middle Gate Village.

Yang Qing walked on the main street, and from time to time he could see stores selling AST computers.

The Wandering Dragon Computer store, although its decoration was very luxurious, had very few customers.

The Wandering Dragon Computer was nearly two thousand more expensive than AST, and its total price was close to thirty thousand.

In 1989, when the country was not yet prosperous, to ordinary people this was an astronomical figure.

In general, ordinary people could not afford computers; at that time computers were mostly used by large enterprises, the government, research institutions, and schools.

The Wandering Dragon lacked such connections, and Yang Qing had no intention of backing the Wandering Dragon Computer.

So the Wandering Dragon Computer's lack of business was also within his expectations.

Everything is hard at the beginning, but Yang Qing had sufficient patience.

Yang Qihang also had sufficient patience.

On the other side, Captain Liu came before the Wandering Dragon Computer.

Captain Liu glanced at Yang Qing appraisingly, and quickly thought of something.

Then he came over.

"General Manager Yang?"

Yang Qing recognized the visitor as soon as he turned around.

Yang Qing instantly recognized this business magnate.

He has the backing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and moreover enjoys the lifelong support of Old Liu, who has extensive connections.

His connections span the political, scientific, legal, and business worlds……

Wherever he goes, people give him face, and he virtually monopolizes the domestic computer distribution channels.

If someone like that isn't successful, who is?

Compared to him, Yang Qing is just a younger brother.

Since returning, he has always been careful not to touch power, so as not to provoke taboos.

But he has no scruples; this is the power of the second and third generations.

Some people are born as your ceiling; even if Yang Qing had struggled for many years, he still couldn't reach the soles of that person's shoes.

Moreover, in his lifetime he could never reach that person's height.

The terror of bureaucratic capital is completely beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

This person has endured how many exposures; if it were anyone else, they would probably have been finished long ago.

But he remains evergreen.

Even if his fruit-selling is exposed………

Yang Qing actually resents such people, because sooner or later we will be ruined by them.

He smiled slightly, and Yang Qing replied.

"Captain Liu, nice to meet you."

Captain Liu clearly sensed that Yang Qing was not very interested in him.

However he still wanted to probe, for the Wandering Dragon was truly hard to predict.

It has the foundation of a Tesla industrial computer, and moreover the utmost performance of the Wandering Dragon Game Console.

Not to mention anything else, just in gaming they cannot beat them.

The enemy is very strong; so strong that even with the Chinese Academy of Sciences behind him, he lacks confidence.

He is not yet a godfather-level figure.

"General Manager Yang, what do you think of the future of the Wandering Dragon Computer?"

He is a bit provocative, after all he monopolizes the domestic channels.

Yang Qing pointed to the Middle Gate Village Electronic Street.

"Moore's Law indicates that the density of integrated circuits is increasing at a geometric rate."

"This shows that the computer market will also expand at a geometric rate."

"The world does not have only IBM, and domestically there will not be only Lenovo."

"Rest assured, domestic computer brands will also sprout up like bamboo shoots after spring rain."

Afterwards he glanced at Captain Liu.

"Moreover, computer prices will quickly drop until everyone can afford them."

"Channels? Civilian use is the future."

Yang Qing also had no mood to contend with him over the current channels.

Because he knows it's hard to beat that guy.

No way, he has spanned several generations and is the child of heaven.

Captain Liu sensed Yang Qing's contempt.

Looking at him is like looking at a prodigal son.

At the same time, Yang Qing's words made him nervous.

Because his market predictions are too far ahead.

He never imagined the future; a computer this awesome is already miraculous enough.

What the future will develop into, he cannot imagine.

But Yang Qing's precise insight makes him fearful.

Originally he still thought Yang Qing was a person of the old era, destined to be swept into the trash heap.

But now it seems he was wrong, and very wrong.

Others are more fashionable than you and also more familiar with the new world.

This is damn impossible, it doesn't make sense.

How did he come to know such an advanced thing as a computer so deeply?

He understands these because he's always been exposed to them, but what's the deal with this person?

That's too monstrous, right?

Suddenly, he wasn't so confident about the future.

President Yang, do you have any thoughts about investing in Lenovo?

He wants to take over the Youlong agency.

That way we can control it.

Historically, Lenovo also rose by stepping on AST.

While acting as an agent for AST, he also researched his own computer.

He used AST to develop the market, then seized the opportunity, replacing AST with Lenovo.

Yang Qing isn't that stupid.

Youlong follows Apple's path, operating its own ecosystem.

It operates via specialty stores.

Market development can be slow, but the brand image must not be compromised.

Yang Qing shook his head.

No, Youlong doesn't really get involved in complex investments.

Captain Liu just went along with it.

Then is there any possibility of cooperation, such as acting as Youlong's agent?

The fox's tail finally showed.

Yang Qing shook his head again.

You can act as agent for Youlong game machines in Jingcheng, but not for computers; Youlong computers use a direct-operated model.

So I'm sorry.

Captain Liu felt it a pity; indeed, he's an old fox who gives no chance at all.

Looks like we need to strengthen cooperation with wetll.

We need to crush Youlong as soon as possible.

That's too bad.

He smiled like an old fox.

After bidding farewell to Yang Qing, Captain Liu called Gangdao.

Now AST is a monopoly, and the appearance of Youlong computers poses a threat to AST.

I demand that AST lower its prices.

Youlong's stores in Jingcheng have already opened.

President Ping is quite familiar with Youlong computers.

Gangdao here has also opened for business.

Moreover, the Youlong system integrates an internet module.

Youlong in Gangdao has already sold out.

Because of the backbone network construction, Gangdao's network technology research companies suddenly increased.

Youlong's internet module solved a major problem of computer networking.

Moreover, the World Wide Web has emerged, and hyperlink technology is now practical.

Surfing the net has become a common feature.

Only in the internet era does Youlong computer's strength lie.

Upon hearing this, Captain Liu became more uneasy.

In that case, we should lower prices even more; we must strangle it in the cradle.

You should also know how great Gangdao's influence on the Mainland is.

Youlong computers' success in Gangdao will definitely affect domestic channels.

President Ping thought it over; this is indeed a threat.

I'll first contact AST; with their support we can then act.

After saying that, he wanted to hang up, but Captain Liu hurriedly stopped him.

Don't rush; there's still one issue: Youlong's advantage is great.

I want you to contact Microsoft and Intel to achieve strategic cooperation.

The appearance of Youlong probably makes them uncomfortable too.

The domestic market is big, and the future market is even bigger.

There's huge profit here; don't they want to feast?
