Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian also knows the main method of all-in-one computers in later generations. Basically, a single display integrates the functions of display and host.For this kind of thing, behind the display panel is the display chip, followed by motherboard chips, hard drives, and so on.However, in order to be more miniature and thinner, this kind of machine usually uses a custom motherboard similar to a notebook. Although the CPU may use a desktop-level one, the radiator will be a notebook CPU radiator. The graphics card will be soldered to the motherboard like a notebook.In this way, the space occupied can be reduced as much as possible.

Jia Hongjian knew that this kind of all-in-one machine was made by Apple first. At least when Jia Hongjian first learned about the concept of an all-in-one machine, it was inside the monitor!In this way, it looks particularly funny, doesn't it?How is it possible that the all-in-one machine is so big?Now the mainframe in front of Jia Hongjian is really fun to say - the whole mainframe looks like a monitor, it looks fat, and it really feels a bit Q!But it is a bit too fat and too big, which makes people feel full of weight at a glance. It is definitely not the slender and light feeling of the LCD all-in-one machine of later generations.

To be honest, looking at this machine, Jia Hongjian really thought about it for a moment, whether to really make an LCD monitor to match this all-in-one machine.After all, such a slender feeling can come in advance, but I have to say that the cost will be greatly increased!According to Jia Hongjian's understanding of the consumer market.For a consumer-level product, if the technology is advanced, that's great, but a consumer-level product can have some advantages, but it can't have too many disadvantages!And the cost is high and the price is high, which is a big disadvantage!

Wait, didn't Jia Hongjian think that the products of ams are aimed at the enterprise market?Why did you start thinking about the consumer market again?Because when Jia Hongjian saw this thing, he felt that this all-in-one machine might not be easy to enter the enterprise market!Although this thing is very simple, it is a display, but the problem is that it is not easy to upgrade!It's like an all-in-one machine in later generations, at most it only needs to add memory sticks and hard drives.You can't even change the graphics card.Is this an upgrade?

Enterprise computers have been used for a long time, and customers spend the same money as other computers to buy such a thing, and other normal computers may not have such a good shape.But the human leader thinks that the computer can be used for ten or eight years—of course, it may be equipped with some upgrades.But what about this computer?Think about it a little bit or ask someone in the IT department.You can know that upgrading is not easy. Under such circumstances, why do people have to buy such a machine?Because of diskless workstations?and the whole diskless system?The issue is.This kind of diskless work system, in fact, does not have much technical difficulty if you really want to study it, so to put it bluntly, if people really want to save money, there is no need to buy a host customized by ams!

Even if it is said that ams has figured out a diskless workstation system all over the world, but if there are other competitors manufacturers or merchants who see this new cake created by ams, they will also figure out and build a diskless workstation system. Then just charge a fee to help others structure, and let other companies buy machines outside.In this way, why ams competes with others?After all, there is no unique place of its own!Therefore, in Jia Hongjian's view, the goal of ams should be to aim at the price that is not too high to make the company feel unhappy, and at the same time, they will choose the field that ams can directly handle in order to save trouble.All in all, ams must have something that others cannot learn, and must have its own core competitiveness!

Ordinary people will not buy this kind of diskless work machine, unless they are the kind of successful people who have money and no place to spend, and then want to look good in all kinds of things and have a sense of superiority that is different from others, they will buy this kind of only A machine with a disk that has been in the limelight for two or three years—wait a minute, how does the positioning of this thing sound a bit like the positioning of Apple products?If you want to learn the positioning of Apple products, then the technological content of this product is not enough-look at those Apple products in later generations, which one is not the first to apply new technologies?And there is also a complete ecological chain of its own, so that it can provide local tyrants and successful people with a sense of superiority!Only after people spend money to buy this thing, I feel pretty good, and I will continue to buy it next time!

If you think this way, then this all-in-one machine is obviously not to think about various cost reductions, but to pile up various high-tech as much as possible. Regardless of whether it is practical or not, it will make ordinary people feel very dazzling. The kind of stuff that feels!For example... all aluminum alloy casing!That's right!Displays in this era are still making all kinds of plastic casings, even Apple's products are like this!But what is the key point that Apple's products in later generations can widen the various aesthetic gaps with others?That is to dare to use expensive consumables and technology more than others!So it directly stands out from the crowd in terms of shape design, giving people a sense of industrial design beauty!Especially the integrated design of Apple's various rounded corners and squares, and even a variety of simple but not simple design aesthetics!

If you want to say that, then of course the entire machine casing must be made of aluminum alloy!It's better after anodizing... so it won't be drawn!How can the filigree technique of drawing be used on a host that is glamorous and elegant like an Apple?That must be to use a professional good paint!Even use white and black paint for bmw or mercedes!Only in this way can the appearance of the whole product look beautiful!Of course, the price will be high, which is very touching...

While Jia Hongjian was thinking about how to make this product a hit, the old man Olsen looked at Jia Hongjian very proudly.He might have thought that Jia Hongjian was staring at "Frankenstein" for a long time at this time, and was really surprised by Olsen's technical ability, so at this moment, the old man put his arm around Jia Hongjian's shoulder Said, "How? My mad scientist made something not bad?"

"It's not bad, but it seems to increase the cost of use... Our products are so small, and if we still use the onboard graphics card, we always feel that the profit will be too small - after all, our products are compared with the PCs on the market. , there is no particularly strong core advantage. We don’t have an operating system designed by ourselves, and we don’t have a solution that can superficially speed up work efficiency—although we have that cq, this thing can be built by others using cq... Then we If this product is to be made into a real product, the display casing must be reinforced, and shockproof measures must be added to prevent the built-in motherboard and hard disk from being bumped...not to mention the motherboard, power supply, etc. of various customized assets, in general , our cost is higher than PC, so, who are you going to sell this thing to?"

"To whom?" Olsen was taken aback when he heard Jia Hongjian's words!When he develops things, he often has a flash of inspiration in his mind. He thinks that this thing is added and useful for commercial companies, so he joins in, but he never thinks about who the product will be sold to!Because they are not all sold to commercial enterprises! "Sell it to a company!" the old man said in surprise.

"There are also many types of enterprises, including large, medium and small enterprises. Who is our product positioned for? From Microsoft to 3dfx to large, medium and small enterprises such as nvidia, who must buy this thing? To be honest, we have no Disk workstation system, can others not do it? Simple network architecture, although troublesome, but this is not subject to patent restrictions, others can do it as long as they research it, and even enterprises can build diskless with only ordinary pc Workstation, why do they have to choose our high-cost and high-priced solution?"

After hearing Jia Hongjian's words, old man Olsen was at a loss for words!He really didn't think about this kind of problem!He started this ams company with the idea of ​​developing for enterprises, and then took the model of diskless workstations, and then fell into the vortex of technology, going further and further, always thinking about how to make things smaller, but never Never thought about how this thing would target the market!Even he made this all-in-one machine to prove that his technology is not useless, and it is to prove that his ideas are not useless!

"You mean that this thing I made can't be sold at all?" The old man was furious right now!How could he, a technical madman, accept this appraisal result?It's the same as saying "no way" to a man who prides himself on his sexuality, it will make people burst into anger!

"No, no, calm down, old man, I didn't say that this item cannot be sold, I just think that if this item is to be sold, it may not be possible to use the model of a diskless workstation..." Jia Hongjian said with a smile at this time. said the old man.While saying this, he thought of the master Jobs who refused to accept Jia Hongjian's olive branch a few years ago... Then the master Jobs should have returned to Apple in 97?Next, this apple is going to show off all kinds of power?So how about Jia Hongjian launching a blocking war against Jobs who did not accept the olive branch?Jia Hongjian knows all the things made by Jobs's later generations. He was also a member of Apple fans. Then, as a senior Apple fan, with so many resources now, can he appear in the market with an identity similar to that of Apple? , and then mess with Apple?Even after establishing a certain brand in the United States, importing this brand into the country... Hey... At that time, will there be more fans of Fruit, or more fans of Huaxia Hi-Tech?This kind of challenge is really interesting, isn't it?

How boring it is to always do things according to the historical process, so rigid.Anyway, they are all rich now, and the seeds are almost sown. It’s okay to destroy some history, seek some excitement and freshness, how interesting it is! (To be continued..)
