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--我們都清醒地意識到，筆記本電腦的競爭越來越激烈。
1--我們繼續(xù)同競爭者競爭來爭奪市場份額，無論在西方的已經成形的市場，還是在亞洲和非洲的正在成熟的市場，都是這種情況。
1--你也許會問自己，為什么市場如此殘酷？答案很簡單。市場有很多未知的潛在因素，有創(chuàng)造利潤的巨大潛力。
1--如果我展示第一個圖表，它顯示全球擁有計算機的人飛速增長。
1--你可以看到20世紀80年代，有電腦的人只占總人口的0.5%。從20世紀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，有電腦的人比例已經達到4-5%，和20世紀80年代相比，增長了百分之一千。
1--我們來談論下中國電腦數(shù)量的增在，在B表格中，有電腦的人總數(shù)達到6千萬，那意味著在極短時間內飛速地增長。
1--但是6千萬和中國的總人口比起來只是大海中的一滴水，這就是個人電腦市場為什么如此火得原因。
1--對于我們Alpha，當然對所有競爭者來說，有數(shù)百萬的潛在顧客正在加入網絡大軍中。
1--如果我們能做好，我們在極短時間內就能獲得巨額回報。我想繼續(xù)討論x420品牌本身，并和我們主要的競爭者進行比較和對比。
