Chapter 131 Cost-effective

Product names appear on the big screen behind Zhang Weixin, and then numbers appear behind the product names.

Lilong—Deep UV photoburner: 480,000/unit

Lilong—light reader: 7200/unit

Lilong—CD (8.98T): 72/piece

Lilong—Combined CD cabinet (empty): 120,000/set

Lilong—General control computer (with management system): 120,000/set

If the maximum configuration of the Lilong CD library is 5 burners (2.4 million), 400 readers (2.88 million), 10,000 CDs (720,000), 1 set of CD cabinets (120,000), 1 set of total control computers (120,000), a total of 6.24 million per set.

This configuration is slightly higher than the unit price of tape libraries currently on the market.

It only includes BIM, Oracle, spectral logic, and Quantum, but it is as if it is obvious that it is a crisis.

Because this is the highest configuration price.

For many companies, what they need is cold backup, and no top-end hot backup mode.

Take libraries, monitoring cloud storage, and scientific research institutions as examples. If they adopt the most cost-effective solution, they can only be equipped with a burner and a reader, and then purchase a large number of CDs. This low-end version configuration only costs more than one million.

If you are a little stingy, you might as well just have dozens of CD libraries, sharing a burner and reader, and the cost can be reduced to less than one million.

From this point of view, it is simply very cost-effective, and the tape library with the same configuration is more than two or three times the price.

For Internet companies that pursue reading speed and burning speed, the high-end version is also very popular. Many representatives of the company are even thinking about customizing the CD library for Xianglong Totem and using more dense readers to achieve the requirement of quickly reading data.

For example, Zheng Shixin from 115 network disk, after comparing the cost of 1T hard drives, he immediately felt that the CD was very cost-effective.

Perhaps the only regret is that the CD cannot be re-burned, but CD 1T is only 8 yuan, and hard disk 1T is close to 1,000 yuan. At this price, you can directly purchase a 125T CD.

What makes hard drives even more tricky is that they need to replace new drives in 3 to 5 years.

Companies want to make profits, but they are not charities. Many Internet companies have made up their minds and decisively adopted CD libraries. High-end versions can replace hard disk hot backup libraries, and low-end versions can replace tape cold backup libraries. It is so fragrant that it can't be more fragrant.

"Our company welcomes companies in need to come and order, and also accepts special customization. Order before National Day, and give a free set of general control computers."

As soon as Zhang Weixin finished speaking, applause suddenly erupted in the venue.

But some people are happy and some are worried. Companies that need CD libraries are naturally happy; while companies that produce tapes and hard disks have already felt full of malice.

"There is a reporter's questioning session. I will only answer five questions, one for each person." After Zhang Weixin finished speaking, he directly clicked on the reporter of National News.

The young man with square face with glasses took the microphone and asked directly: "Will your company's glass disc enter the personal consumer field in the future?"

This question is also something that many people want to know.

"Our company adheres to the innovative spirit of the parent company and has started the research and development of the next generation of glass discs and supporting equipment. The direction is to have larger storage capacity, faster reading and burning speeds, and the supporting equipment is cheaper and more convenient, and at the same time it develops towards repeatable reading and writing."

Hard disk manufacturers and flash memory manufacturers suddenly tightened their anus, and a cool air rushed straight from the soles of their feet to the sky spirit cover.

If Long Totem Company really makes it possible to create a glass disc that can be reproducible and read and write, and then it will be cheap to use the supporting equipment for reading and writing, the market for hard disks and flash memory will probably be the same as tapes, so you can sing the cold directly.

Zhang Weixin called a reporter from Science and Technology Daily again.

"What are your company's development plans for the future semiconductor industry?"

"Our company attaches great importance to the semiconductor industry. It currently plans to invest 20 billion yuan to establish two semiconductor industrial parks in Shanmei and Dezhou, Shandong Province."

The next reporter named is from Yangcheng TV.

"Thank you!" The female reporter stood up: "Mr. Zhang, I heard online that your company is developing chips. Is this true?"

Zhang Weixin did not hide it. According to the current R&D progress, Long Totem will launch some professional chips before the end of the year, and he is not afraid of being bored, so there is naturally no need to hide it:

"There is indeed a R&D plan. If there are specific results, we will announce it on the official website. We also welcome those who are aspiring at home and abroad to join Long Totem Company and companies interested in cooperating in the research and development of chips. We are also very welcome."

The scene was in an uproar, some were surprised, some were weird, and more were disdainful. For example, Intel, Samsung, and Texas Instruments seemed quite calm and disdainful.

Because they have a close relationship with upstream semiconductor equipment suppliers, such as American application companies, Asmay, Tokyo Electronics, Shinjo, Siemens, etc.

Long Totem wants to develop chips, in their opinion, at most it is in the field of chip design, not chip manufacturing.

No matter how fancy the chip design is, it is just walking on one leg. As long as you get stuck with the chip foundry, you will be paralyzed in minutes.

The next reporter named, a middle-aged white man from CNN in the United States, asked a question: "Do your company conduct chip design? Or chip manufacturing?"

Zhang Weixin only answered one sentence: "There are both, the next one."

A short-haired female reporter from Deutsche Mirror asked: "I don't know how your company can solve the problem of semiconductor equipment. As far as I know, ASMA's orders have been scheduled until 2014."

Zhang Weixin replied with a smile: "We do not intend to purchase ASMA's lithography machine because we don't need it, that's all."

"Wode? Mr. President means that your company plans to develop a lithography machine by itself?" The short-haired female reporter looked at Zhang Weixin in a bit incredible.

Zhang Weixin asked coldly, "Why not? Is ASMAI planning to sell us a few lithography machines?"

The female reporter was speechless.

However, Samsung, Intel, and Texas Instruments representatives below chuckled with a sarcastic look. After mocking the Dragon Totem for being overestimated, they became secretly alert in their hearts.

Regardless of whether Long Totem is really developing chip manufacturing technology, they plan to report to the headquarters and ask the headquarters to remind upstream equipment manufacturers so as not to be exploited by Long Totem.

After all, the Toshiba incident has occurred before, and Asmay is fine, but it is really hard to say about Canon and Nikon in Japan.

Asmay has occupied the high-end market, and among the mid- and low-end markets they operate, China is a huge market, which is a huge temptation.

After all, as long as capitalists have the right interests, it is not impossible to sell the rope that hangs themselves.

After answering five questions, Zhang Weixin announced that the new product launch conference was successfully concluded, and the representatives present performed differently.

Internet companies, hardware companies that need glass CDs, such as Huawei, Inspur, Google, Alibaba, 115 network disk, Penguin, Qiandu, etc., stay on site and prepare to discuss cooperation with Long Totem.
