Great Wall to Build OLPC laptops

   
   
   
   
   
How hard it must be for big Chinese companies to get respect aborad. While Great Wall PC is a leader in China, they are negotiating to build the OLPC laptops for between 180 to 200 yuan (around $20), a money-losing price, just to get brand recognition.

In perfect Chinglish, The People's Daily says:

In fact attaining brand effect is the greatest motive for Great Wall PC. [Great Wall PC marketing director Maoqing] Huang said, "We should first implement the negotiating issues, then promotion work will be launched. There is still a long way to go for the $100 laptop before entering China." In his opinion the talking brand effect is a little bit too early.
