Chapter 796: Destroy the ThinkPad

"Chen Yu, I'm grass, the high-end notebook was really pushed out by you. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, calm down, old Wu. ”

"Calm down your sister, how can I be calm. ”

"I asked you to do it before, and you didn't come?"

"I'm not afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

The big sales of the Demon God series notebooks made Shenzhou Wu Haijun regret it incomparably.

He never expected that Huanyu Technology would push the high-end notebook out so easily.

It's as if they didn't do anything either.

It's just that I got the naming rights in the Dota World Championship and sponsored the special computer for the game.

But it's such a simple operation, but the Demon God notebook has become the first choice of many gamers.

However, although he thinks so, Wu Haijun also knows that the operation of Huanyu Technology looks simple, but it is absolutely impossible to change companies.

The first is the positioning of the product.

Turning the positioning of high-end notebooks into the positioning of high-end gaming laptops is not something that ordinary companies can think of.

And even if you can think of it, without Dota World Championship, you would have a hard time pushing the game book.

Even if you can make a game contest, you can't make a game as popular as Dota .

Looking at it now, the successful launch of the Demon God notebook is completely based on the layout of Huanyu Technology for several years.

"But I want to do it now, I also plan to make a game book, you call it the Demon God, we call it the God of War, what do you think?"

"Yes, but it's a little late for you to do it now. ”

Huanyu Technology and Shenzhou are strategic cooperation objects, and Chen Yu will naturally not object to Shenzhou's joining.

Of course, he also knows that even if Shenzhou does not join, other computer manufacturers will join.

Nowadays, video games are becoming more and more popular, and there are more and more gamers. It can be said that it was this group of gamers who first wanted to buy a computer. If it's an ordinary computer, not to mention the competition, it won't actually make much money. After all, the price of computers is now very transparent, and if you are 100 more expensive than others, others may not buy yours.

But gaming laptops are different.

With a price like a demon god that doesn't have any humanity, the profits in it are simply terrifying.

However, although Shenzhou wanted to do it, Chen Yu didn't think they could do it.

Although the game book is profitable, it is actually a niche product.

Of course, Huanyu Technology's family is very full, but if a series of computer manufacturers come in, then they will starve to death.

Wu Haijun also knows this.

You don't get to market first, and you don't make much money by following behind.

But now it's not as good as it was before.

Huanyu Technology didn't engage in game books before, and it doesn't matter if Shenzhou pushes it or not.

But now that Huanyu Technology has done it, other computer manufacturers will definitely follow.

They didn't follow to make money.

This is completely because others have it, and you must have such a mentality.

Huanyu Technology has game books, and they must have them too.

If you don't have it, you're worse than others, and if you don't, you're a little embarrassed to meet people.

It's like a lot of people who produce cars have to do sports cars, even if sports cars don't make money, they have to do them.

Although Shenzhou is not a powerful computer company, it naturally cannot lag behind in this area.

Even if it's a good thing to put on the table.

However, Wu Haijun's idea made Chen Yu have an idea.

Shenzhou will launch high-end machines without making money, and obviously other companies will think the same.

But other computer manufacturers will definitely not be able to launch high-end notebooks.

Because the amount of high-end notebooks itself is not large, it is not very cost-effective if they process it themselves or find someone else to process it.

For example, if ASUS Computer wants to make a high-end laptop, they plan to get 100,000 units first.

Do you think that 100,000 units will be willing to be OEM?

Excuse me.

Large-scale OEMs don't want to take it.

As for why I don't want to pick it up.

That's because your order is so small that there's no money to be made next.

It's impossible for these OEMs to build a production line specifically for your high-end notebook.

But if you don't do it, you can't make a high-end notebook.

At this time, Huanyu Technology is the best choice.

Huanyu Technology itself is making high-end notebooks, which are more cost-effective than themselves in terms of foundry cost and efficiency.

Although Huanyu Technology is their competitor.

But that's really nothing.

There are too many OEM operations in electronic enterprises.

These computer manufacturers only need to be responsible for the design, and they don't need to intervene in the foundry at all.

It's the same as the root chip design.

Those who do chip design do chip design, and those who do chip foundry do chip foundry.

If you really want to do everything together, although it is not impossible, it may not be comparable to such a division of labor.

This is also why, in later generations, even Intel gave TSMC chip foundry orders.

So, in the next period of time, Huanyu Technology successively contacted Asus, Mingji, Acer, HP, Toshiba, Sony...... Wait a minute. Although not all companies agreed, Huanyu Technology also took a lot of orders. Although the amount of these orders is not large, it doesn't matter, no matter how few mosquitoes are meat, the amount of each family adds up.

As for why Lenovo was not contacted, Dell.

Because they already have high-end machines under their umbrella.

For example, Lenovo's ThinkPad, and Dell's recently acquired Alien Computer.

They are the main competitors of Huanyu Technology, and they do not need Huanyu Technology foundry.

But.

Although he said so, Chen Yu still called Yang Yuanqing.

"Brother Yang. ”

"What......"

Yang Yuanqing, who received Chen Yu's call, instantly got goosebumps.

The sentence Brother Yang he meowed made him almost scared.

"Mr. Chen, don't ...... You might as well just call me by my name. ”

"Well, we're good buddies now. ”

"That, Mr. Chen, what's the matter?"

Yang Yuanqing complained in his heart, who is a good partner with you.

"That's the case, I believe that Mr. Yang has paid attention to the Demon God series notebook that we have recently launched by Huanyu Technology. ”

"There is attention, Mr. Chen, your Demon God series notebook is really amazing. ”

"Is Mr. Yang interested?"

"How?"

"High-end notebooks are also launched. ”

"Mr. Chen, we have the ThinkPad brand under our umbrella, so we don't need to launch it again. ”

"Mr. Yang, thinkpad has always been IBM, although it was acquired by you, he still plays the IBM brand above it. ”

According to the agreement.

Although the ThinkPad notebook business was acquired by Lenovo, within three years, the ThinkPad still had to be branded as IBM.

If you want to put the Lenovo logo on it, it must be after three years.

"Although your company will be able to truly own the ThinkPad brand in three years, I don't think everyone will be particularly optimistic about Lenovo. Everyone will always think that ThinkPad is from IBM and has nothing to do with Lenovo. Instead of this, it is better to borrow IBM's technology to create your own high-end notebook brand. ”

"This ......"

Yang Yuanqing was moved.

In fact, regarding the acquisition of IBM's personal laptop business, Lenovo has always had internal opinions.

Everyone can see the benefits of acquiring IBM's personal PC computer business.

But the downside is not without it.

The biggest problem is that Lenovo is worried that the acquired IBM personal PC computer business will not be integrated into Lenovo.

At the time of the acquisition of IBM, the company had seen it as the biggest risk.

Although Yang Yuanqing has made a variety of plans to ensure that IBM is integrated into Lenovo in the future.

But who would dare to pack a ticket for such a thing?

In case IBM's logo is replaced by Lenovo's logo, and others don't buy it, who will you go to?

In this case, it is better to use IBM's technology to build a high-end notebook brand by yourself as Chen Yu said.

Although this high-end notebook brand may not be able to push out, it is still possible to give it a try.

Which is to be a spare tire, he is also necessary to exist.

"Mr. Chen, let's have a meeting to discuss. ”

"OK, wait for your good news. ”

Chen Yu knew that Yang Yuanqing was moved.

In fact, Chen Yu really wants to say that the ThinkPad brand really doesn't help Lenovo much in the future.

In addition to the Chinese side, the ThinkPad sells well.

In other countries and regions in Europe and the United States, ThinkPad has never bought ThinkPad since it took off IBM's card.

If you look at it from this point of view, in fact, Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's personal PC computer business is not as profitable as imagined.

Of course, Chen Yu didn't do this for the sake of Lenovo.

On the one hand, he is for his own OEM orders.

On the other hand, I also want to destroy the ThinkPad.

Calling Yang Yuanqing at this time is just planting the seeds to extinguish the thinkpad.
