Liu Yan continued: "By the way, Lili, please help me find out in the past two days, when will Jiangning Province's office automation application system be launched? How is the progress of this aspect in Warwick?"

I am considering the docking work here in Yongfeng County."

Fan Lili replied: "I asked. During this time, we are cooperating with the province in testing, otherwise they would be working overtime every night."

"Has this project contacted the underlying cities?"

“The Provincial Government Office has convened relevant departments from various cities for this project and has held two special meetings.

Xiaohong and the others have also separately contacted the specific persons in charge of each city.

The people I just mentioned who took them to the casino are the people in charge of information construction in some cities.

At present, various cities are making preparations, and Yuan Qiliang is responsible for the informatization construction work in Huaining City."

Liu Yan then asked: "Ask Xiaohong, will the equipment be centralized and purchased by the province, or will it be purchased by each locality?"

"I already understand this matter. The province hopes that all cities will pay for it themselves, and the province will organize centralized procurement according to unified standards, and then distribute it to various places.

This facilitates daily management, as well as future system maintenance, upgrades and after-sales service of hardware products.

However, different cities have different opinions, because it involves local financial funds. Some cities have financial difficulties and cannot provide so much funds.

Therefore, most prefectures and cities hope that in accordance with the unified technical indicators of the province, the application system and software parts can be purchased uniformly by the province, and the hardware part can be purchased by the prefectures and cities themselves, delegating the power of hardware selection to various cities."

"Let Shanshan ask her father what the Huaining city government's attitude is towards this matter?"

"After asking, from the perspective of the city's own interests, Yuan Qiliang certainly supports the second option.

According to the requirements of the overall plan for hardware equipment indicators and the financial situation of each city, the model is selected by itself, and then submitted to the province for approval.

Or the province designates a selection range of hardware products, and each city can choose from them."

"Well, I'm afraid this is a more feasible plan. After all, the financial situation of each city is different. It is a bit difficult to specify a brand."

Fan Lili continued: "If we follow the second option, the imported hardware products currently represented by Warwick will encounter some competitors.

During this time, many manufacturers have come to our door.

These manufacturers mainly come from some domestic electronics companies. These companies have begun to increase investment in the production of computer hardware equipment this year.

Jiangning Province’s informatization construction work is at the forefront in China.

At present, it is difficult for others to get involved in the development of Warwick Company’s office automation system in Jiangning Province, but it is hard to say about the hardware equipment.”

“Who are the main hardware manufacturers currently participating in the competition?”

Fan Lili said on the other end of the phone: "The domestic ones are mainly made by Bailing in Fujian Province. This is a large state-owned enterprise in Fujian Province. It used to make calculators. Starting this year, it has made some progress in personal computers and dot matrix printers."

investment.

There is also a state-owned enterprise in Yanjing, and another state-owned enterprise in Shanghai is said to have begun to transform into the production of personal computers.

In addition, some private companies in Yanjing's Zhongguancun and Shenwan City that assemble their own personal computers are also eyeing it.

After all, this project in Jiangning Province is relatively large, with a total investment budget of nearly one billion.

The price of domestically produced products is more than double that of imported brands with the same configuration.”

"Approximately when will this project be implemented?"

"Li Zixuan said that the Ministry of Electronics Industry of China has approved the project and budget of Jiangning Province, and the funds from the Ministry of Finance will be in place by the second quarter of next year at the latest.

The other one-third of the budget funds are provided by local finance themselves.

It is estimated that it will take about another year, and it is expected to be no later than this time next year."

Fan Lili paused and then continued: "If we follow the second option, we estimate that we can only account for about 30% of the hardware equipment.

So, they asked me to call you today and want to hear your suggestions on this issue."

"Tell Xiaohong and Zhuang Yan to ask colleagues from the company's purchasing department to go to Pengcheng as soon as possible.

Get in touch with Huaqiang Company in Pengcheng and familiarize yourself with and master the technical performance, indicators and RMB prices of all personal computer components as soon as possible."

"you mean……"

"The current situation in China is developing much faster than expected, and some tasks must be prepared in advance.

When colleagues from the purchasing department go to Pengcheng, they must ask engineers from the technical department to accompany them.

All parts and components should be tested on-site for various technical indicators and performance, and must be continuously powered on for at least 48 hours.

It would be best if one of Xiaohong and Zhuang Yan could personally lead the team and take this opportunity to establish a long-term, mutually beneficial and stable relationship with upstream parts suppliers.

For components that pass the test of the technical department, the purchasing department can first purchase 5-10 sets of each. You can let Xiaohong and Zhuang Yan determine the specific quantity after calculating the cost.

When you say this, they will understand what I mean.

The purpose is to assemble Warwick's own brand of personal computers as soon as possible and use the office automation system we developed to test the machines on the equipment, do you understand?"

"I understand what you mean, you want to assemble your own brand."

"Yes! While domestic brands have not yet been established, we can use the influence of Jiangning Province's office automation system project across the country to create Jiangning Province's own domestic brand Warwick.

If the performance of the personal computers we assemble is good enough, we can at least win another 10 to 20 percent share in this project."

"I understand, I will tell Xiaohong and Zhuang Yan right away."

"It's almost eleven o'clock. It won't be too late to tell them when I get to work tomorrow."

"It's not too late at all. They are all working overtime in the company. They will not rest until they wait for your reply tonight."

"Wait, listen to what I have to say. After the personal computer assembled by Warwick passes the running test on the application system, you come forward and ask Li Zixuan to meet with Director Fang of the 208 Research Institute and Warwick Company in the name of the Science and Technology Bureau.

.

Ask Qiu Mingren to attend when the time comes. Let me know as soon as the meeting time is confirmed."

"About Dean Fang of the 208th Institute? That is the largest research institute under the Ministry of Electronics Industry of China. What do you mean..."

"Using the existing production lines and technical testing equipment of the 208th Institute for assembly. Only in this way can Warwick's personal computers successfully obtain the production license from the Ministry of Electronics Industry."

"Can Dean Fang of the 208th Hospital agree?"

"Why don't you agree? Warwick and 208 Institute are cooperating, and each personal computer can share the profits according to a certain proportion. This is a win-win situation for 208 Institute and Warwick.

Through initial contact, Warwick will have many opportunities to cooperate with 208 Institute in the future. After all, their technical strength is first-rate in the country.

By the way! Lili, after talking about this, it suddenly occurred to me that if you decide to work in Ningcheng, you might consider working with Li Zixuan..."

"You mean, let me go to Jiangning Provincial Science and Technology Bureau?"

"Yes! I will think about it in the next two days. You can stay in Ningcheng for a few more days and don't come back in a hurry.
Chapter completed!
