Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 839 - 288: Heroes Rise Young

No matter how intense the external hype is, we ultimately have to wait until Huaxia’s New Year’s Day to see the real outcome.

Similarly, a great deal of attention is indeed beneficial but also places immense pressure on the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance.

Even if the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance is quite confident about the new generation of Tai Chi Series personal computers.

But without the final release, no one knows whether it can truly open the market.

There’s a lot of business; products that are praised but don’t sell well are everywhere. Every high-tech enterprise has launched similar products.

For example, Google Glass.

When it was first released, it received widespread attention and praise, even regarded as one of the representatives of future technology for a time.

But due to the high price, potential privacy issues, and limited usage scenarios, it did not succeed in the consumer market and soon disappeared.

A few years ago, Apple also launched an AR headset, which was highly praised at the time, with various epoch-making features, but the sales were even worse than Google Glass’s, and it was soon discontinued.

In short, many tech companies fall into a trap where the concept is indeed avant-garde, but the user experience is disappointing when really put to test.

The reason is quite simple.

The voice of electronic products on the internet is often controlled by electronic enthusiasts.

These people usually have money and free time and particularly love to experience those concept-level products as soon as possible, even if it means spending more money.

So their reviews often do not represent the thoughts of ordinary people.

Many companies within the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance have similar experiences. Widespread acclaim at launch, but disappointing market response afterward, with investments seriously out of sync with returns.

Consumer-grade products have always been quite uncertain. However, certain patterns can be followed.

Such as pricing.

Generally, the higher the price of a product, the lower its market share. Compared to the current ordinary high-end computers, Tai Chi Series products are indeed priced much higher.

Now it only remains to be seen whether the public is willing to pay for those features that are ahead of the times.

The only comforting thought is that Tai Chi Series computers do not merely undertake the mission of consumer-grade computers; strictly speaking, this is still a war without smoke.

If this computer succeeds, it means Huaxia has finally filled the last gap in the field of technology, leading the world in all aspects.

So even if the first-generation products lose money, it doesn’t matter.

As long as the company names are on the credit register, there will surely be nice development in the future. As long as the costs can be reduced in the coming years, everyone is sure to have good development.

Of course, the prerequisite is to rub the traditional electronic computers into the ground.

Just imagine if personal PC users worldwide switch to the new generation of computers; what a vast market that would be?

Once personal quantum simulation computers begin to have a certain market, they can be linked with mobiles and various smart wearable devices, creating a full ecological product, which is the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance’s ambition for the future.

This is at least a ten-trillion RMB electronic consumer market annually.

This enormous market nurtures Microsoft, Intel, NVIDIA, Apple, Qualcomm, Google, Samsung, and Huaxia’s high-tech enterprises and their upstream and downstream industrial chains.

Even if they don’t take over the entire market, capturing even a small top-end portion would be enough to earn the alliance’s enterprises substantial profits for decades.

Successful relocation of the most profitable high-tech firms from Silicon Valley, USA, to Huaxia can essentially be understood.

So, as the launch event approaches, the CEOs are bound to feel the inevitable pressure.

Though even if the first batch of products is not successful, the higher-ups will certainly cover them from loss, preventing them from going bankrupt due to poor sales of a single product.

But after all, it’s a multi-billion investment. It would be best if it succeeds in one go.

But Qiao Yu doesn’t feel this pressure.

In his view, the Tai Chi Series products may not make huge profits, but earning a small profit is certainly attainable.

At least there is enough profit to ensure that those enterprises continue to invest independently to optimize and expand the industrial chain, finding ways to lower costs.

He does have this confidence.

After all, he personally participated in the design of this product. Especially the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance Committee, though having great power, cannot infiltrate the most core research centers.

Especially the Quantum Simulation Software Science Research Center. Therefore, their grasp of the actual situation is not comprehensive.

Of course, if the first generation of Tai Chi products does not sell ideally, Qiao Yu also feels it’s not a big deal. Anyway, he certainly won’t lose money.

At worst, just create quantum security servers. At least the money of large financial companies and banks can surely be earned.

Once the money from the world’s wealthiest is earned, large investments can be made to reduce industrial costs.

As long as costs come down, future quantum simulation computer prices would only be one or two times higher than electronic computers, then stability is inevitable.

In short, Qiao Yu believes he has no reason to lose. Using some people’s words online, there are indeed only three options: small win, medium win, and big win.

So, during this period, although many from the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance Committee wished to interview Qiao Yu, they were all politely declined by him.
