Chapter 912: Acquisition of 7UP Computer, Haier Computer
"Uncle Wenqi, Aunt Xuehong, I'm going back to the mainland. ”
"How's it going, how are the talks?"
"I don't know. ”
Chen Yu shook his head: "ASUS directly rejected me, and Acer did not refuse or agree." ”
"This should be good news. ”
Wang Xuehong said with a smile: "Shi Zhenrong didn't refuse, which means that he is already thinking about it. You kid is amazing, I thought you didn't have any results this time, but I didn't expect to fool Shi Zhenrong. ”
"What's amazing, you don't know that when I talked to the boss of ASUS that day, as soon as I said that I wanted to work on the operating system, he didn't talk to me directly. ”
"Normal, you told Wen Qi not to engage in x86 chip architecture, and it is estimated that Wen Qi will not talk to you. ”
Although the VIA chip is its own chip, their architecture is still x86 and is still Intel's.
Although they were empowered.
But in this respect, VIA is actually still constrained by Intel.
This is just like the Huawei chip in the previous life, although the Huawei chip is very good, the architecture is still Arm.
In the same way, in the PC field, Acer is also subject to Microsoft.
But fortunately, as a PC manufacturer, they have more say than chip manufacturers, and on the surface, Microsoft's influence on them is not so fatal.
Otherwise, Acer's Shi Zhenrong won't even think about it, and will directly be the same as ASUS, and he doesn't want to talk about anything.
However, it is understandable that ASUS does not want to talk about Chen Yu.
In addition to the PC computer business, ASUS also has a motherboard business.
And their motherboard business is too heavily influenced by Intel, just like VIA is influenced by Intel.
Intel's relationship with Microsoft is an alliance within an alliance.
The two are inextricably linked.
Intel can't do without Microsoft, and Microsoft can't do without Intel.
Because of Intel's relationship, ASUS is naturally more cautious about Microsoft.
"Anyway, thank you Uncle Wenqi and Aunt Xuehong for your hospitality, I'll go back to the mainland first. ”
"Okay, let's go back and wait for the good news. ”
"Hehe, I hope too. ”
separated from Chen Wenqi and Wang Xuehong, and Chen Yu returned to Shencheng.
"Chen Yu, how is it, is there any news from the two families in Taiwan City?"
"There's nothing to talk about here, and Acer has to wait for their news. ”
"It's a bit suspenseful, but I really didn't expect Acer to think about it. ”
Wu Haijun, like Wang Xuehong, was also stunned when he heard that Acer was thinking about it.
In his opinion, such an operating system task should be rejected directly.
As for the reason, it's too simple.
Even if Chen Yu now asks all the computers in Shenzhou to install the Huanyu system, Wu Haijun is unwilling.
This is not that Wu Haijun failed to change his identity, but in fact, the traditional PC business replacement system will have a fatal blow to the entire PC sales.
Consumers will vote with their feet when the time comes.
It's like everyone buys a computer and chooses a CPU.
There is no doubt that the first choice of all people is Intel.
If you find out that this computer is using AMD, unless you know a lot about computers, or you are just playing games, then you may choose AMD. Otherwise, then you must buy an Intel processor when you buy a computer.
Chen Yu also understands this.
This is also the reason why Chen Yu did not go to Lenovo.
Although Lenovo is a mainland enterprise, in the general direction, Huanyu Technology is also in the same camp.
But if Chen Yu proposed such a cooperation, Lenovo would also refuse.
It is impossible for them to ignore their own business for the sake of Huanyu Technology's business.
"Leave him alone, our side is going to act. ”
"Chen Yu, do you want to talk to Lenovo?"
"Lenovo shouldn't be able to talk about it for the time being. ”
Not to mention the grievances between Chen Yu and Lenovo, even if there are no grievances, Chen Yu can't talk about it.
"And who are?"
"Looking for a chance to talk to Qixi and Haier?"
"Qixi, Haier...... It's possible. ”
7JOY Haier is also one of the domestic computer brands.
However, their market is relatively small.
They don't have much influence on the overall market share.
"I'm familiar with them, I'll talk about it. ”
Wu Haijun proposed.
"Okay, but, Lao Wu, you don't go to talk about cooperation, but about acquisitions. ”
"Acquisition?"
Wu Haijun was stunned.
"Yes, 7-Up, although Haier has a computer business, they don't have a lot of share, and they haven't made much money all the time, and they also want to sell the computer business. We have acquired in the past, and there shouldn't be too many problems. ”
"But after the acquisition, we may not be able to successfully operate these brands?"
Wu Haijun is very clear about the PC industry.
Although these are all computer brands, none of these companies are serious about making computers.
Needless to say, Haier makes washing machines and refrigerators.
As for why it wants to make computers, that is the strategy that all Haier's electronic categories must enter.
It doesn't matter if you don't do it well or not, you have to have it anyway.
As for 7-Up, it used to be an agent, and it didn't do much to make computers.
While both are interested in selling their computer businesses, not many companies are interested.
"We don't want these two brands to be successful. ”
"I'll go, Chen Yu, you don't just want to do an operating system, do you? ”
"Or else. ”
Chen Yu nodded and said, "I have to do the operating system business, and it is a little difficult for us to rely on our family." Although Haier and 7-Up computers do not have much of a market, if our Huanyu system is installed, it can change the current situation of Microsoft alone. ”
It's the equivalent of advertising.
Even if the sales data of 7UP and Haier are very average, or even very bad, it doesn't matter.
Chen Yu cares about the operating system.
Once users slowly accepted the Universal operating system, this also gave other PC manufacturers a start.
"Tsk, Chen Yu, you are getting bigger and bigger, for the sake of the operating system, you directly acquired two computer brand companies. No, damn it, you even bought our Shenzhou. ”
At this time, Wu Haijun was clear.
Chen Yu's acquisition of Shenzhou was not just to put Wu Haijun in charge of their computer business.
More importantly, Chen Yu's acquisition of Shenzhou was also for their operating system business.
Once the conditions are ripe in the future, when Shenzhou joins the Huanyu system camp, the impact on the market will be quite large.
......
"Brother, you've been going to ASUS for 10 years. ”
"Brother, plus this year, it's 11 years. ”
"Yes, in 11 years, when you left Acer and joined ASUS, I still can't figure it out. Unexpectedly, after you joined ASUS, you made ASUS even better than our Acer. ”
"Brother, my heart still belongs to Acer. ”
One of the two people who spoke was Shi Zhenrong and the other was Shi Congtang.
Both are Acer founders.
But in 1994, Shi Congtang left Acer and joined ASUS.
This trance, 11 years have passed.
"Brother, everything has passed, and I have long since disappeared from the past. In fact, I admire you very much, especially when you ASUS and Intel fought and robbed Intel's motherboard business and became the world's first, I convince you. ”
"Brother, you are my role model, in fact, I have always learned from you. ”
"What to learn, if I had such courage, I wouldn't have been working on the PC. ”
"Brother, you?"
Shi Congtang felt that Shi Zhenrong had something to say.
"Congtang, I heard that Chen Yu of Huancong Technology met with you?"
"Uh......"
Shi Congtang hesitated for a while, but still nodded: "We did meet." ”
"What are you talking about?"
"About their PayPass business. ”
"Hehe, not honestly, didn't he tell you about the operating system?"
Shi Zhenrong smiled and pointed to Shi Congtang.
Shi Congtang was a little surprised, he promised Chen Yu that he had never withdrawn this business from others.
But looking at Shi Zhenrong's expression, he understood: "Brother, Chen Yu is also looking for you?"
"When he came to Taishi, he first looked for you, and then he looked for me. ”
"Chen Yu, this guy is really not giving up. ”
Shi Congtang shook his head helplessly: "I didn't talk to him about any conditions, and directly rejected him." Dude, what about you?"
"I'm thinking about it. ”
"No, it won't. ”
Shi Congtang couldn't believe it.
