Selling Computers in China

One of the dumber things that an American CEO has made.

Why? I'll tell you.

You sell a computer, and you make no profits. Most of the computers bought in China are comprised up of hole in the wall computer stores. You go there, pick out the parts, and they make them for you. Their faster, meaner, cooler, and sometimes cheaper than whatever computer companies try to sell to you. So selling computers is probably the dumbest thing ever. You set up factories in China, bribe the officials, etc. No one buys. You loose money.

Well, selling programs isn't any better. Windows XP has been pirated, and sent all over China to sell. No longer do you have to pay the regular 100 dollars for a copy, now you can spend a fraction of that price for Windows. Or they get linux. Whatever, the point is, you still don't make any money. This is the same thing with games. Their games are alot cheaper. Why? Because you don't really buy them from the companies, you buy them from guys who hacked the program.

So, why Americans persist to sell computers and stuff in China is beyond me. You might make money off of selling hardware, since the hole in the wall stores need parts. But thats about it. No one wants to buy factory made computers. Plus, in China, no one wants to spend ANY money on an OS. So maybe you can make millions of dollars since theres alot of Chinese people. But if a hundreth of the Chinese population spends money on your stuff, your not making much. With all the factory and shipping stuff, your probably loosing money. The Chinese? Hell, the guys who bought your stuff are probably hacking and selling them for the country.

Same goes with DVDs, CDs, and etc.
