1--As all of you are well aware, competition in the laptop computer sector is intense.
 
1--We continue to fight with our competitors for market share, and this is the case both in the developed markets in the West, as well as more developing markets in Asia and Africa.
 
1--You may ask yourself, why is this market so cut-throat? Well the answer is simple. There is a huge untapped potential market out there ,with a huge untapped potential for profit.
 
1--If I bring up the first graph here, it shows the increase in terms of number of computer owners across the globe.
 
1--As you can see in the 1980’s computer ownership amounted to around 0.5% of the total world population. Since the 1990’s, computer ownership has risen dramatically.
 
1--In the new millennium we saw an even larger explosion in computer owners, with figures rising to around 4- 5%, an increase of 1000 % percent compared with the 1980’s .
 
1--If we move on to discuss the figures for China specifically we can see in Chart B that the overall figure for computer ownership stands at around 60 million, which represents a huge increase in a very short time period.
 
1--Now of course 60 million is just a drop in the ocean if you compare the total population of China, and this is a key reason why the personal computer market is such a hot market.
 
1--For us at Alpha, and of course for all our competitors as well, we have millions of potential customers who are looking to join the internet generation.
 
1--If we do this right we really can reap huge rewards in a very short time frame. I’d now like to move on to discuss the x420 brand itself, and compare and contrast with some of our key competitors.

1--我們都清醒地意識(shí)到，筆記本電腦的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)越來(lái)越激烈。
1--我們繼續(xù)同競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者競(jìng)爭(zhēng)來(lái)爭(zhēng)奪市場(chǎng)份額，無(wú)論在西方的已經(jīng)成形的市場(chǎng)，還是在亞洲和非洲的正在成熟的市場(chǎng)，都是這種情況。
1--你也許會(huì)問(wèn)自己，為什么市場(chǎng)如此殘酷？答案很簡(jiǎn)單。市場(chǎng)有很多未知的潛在因素，有創(chuàng)造利潤(rùn)的巨大潛力。
1--如果我展示第一個(gè)圖表，它顯示全球擁有計(jì)算機(jī)的人飛速增長(zhǎng)。
1--你可以看到20世紀(jì)80年代，有電腦的人只占總?cè)丝诘?.5%。從20世紀(jì)90年代以后，有電腦的人飛速增加。
1--在新千年，我們看到更飛速的增長(zhǎng)，有電腦的人比例已經(jīng)達(dá)到4-5%，和20世紀(jì)80年代相比，增長(zhǎng)了百分之一千。
1--我們來(lái)談?wù)撓轮袊?guó)電腦數(shù)量的增在，在B表格中，有電腦的人總數(shù)達(dá)到6千萬(wàn)，那意味著在極短時(shí)間內(nèi)飛速地增長(zhǎng)。
1--但是6千萬(wàn)和中國(guó)的總?cè)丝诒绕饋?lái)只是大海中的一滴水，這就是個(gè)人電腦市場(chǎng)為什么如此火得原因。
1--對(duì)于我們Alpha，當(dāng)然對(duì)所有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者來(lái)說(shuō)，有數(shù)百萬(wàn)的潛在顧客正在加入網(wǎng)絡(luò)大軍中。
1--如果我們能做好，我們?cè)跇O短時(shí)間內(nèi)就能獲得巨額回報(bào)。我想繼續(xù)討論x420品牌本身，并和我們主要的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者進(jìn)行比較和對(duì)比。
