"I didn't expect Microsoft to be so cautious. ”

Chen Yu has always felt that Windows can monopolize the world because of ecology.

In fact, it is.

Without ecology, Windows would have been destroyed by others long ago.

But even so.

With such a strong ecosystem, Microsoft still signed strategic cooperation with major PC giants.

I have to say that Microsoft's cautious subtlety is really admirable.

"Chen Yu, you don't want to compete with Microsoft completely. ”

Wu Haijun asked weakly.

"Old Wu, why, can't we compete with Microsoft? You know, we competed with Huanyu Technology back then. ”

"These are two different things. ”

Wu Haijun shook his head and said: "The competition between you and Microsoft before, this can only be regarded as a partial competition. Whether it's instant messaging or browsers, or even input methods, Microsoft loses when it loses, and they don't necessarily care. However, if you challenge their operating system, you will have to compete with Microsoft completely. ”

"I know that, too. ”

Chen Yu nodded.

He won't be unaware of Microsoft's horrors.

It's just that if you don't even have the idea of moving Microsoft, how will you compete with him in the future?

"In fact, we can develop steadily on our own, with the current sales of netbooks, notebooks, desktop computers, of course, including Shenzhou, which can be regarded as occupying a certain amount of sales. In a few years, we will look for another opportunity. ”

"What year will it be in a few years? It's hard for us alone to have much of an impact on Microsoft. ”

Chen Yu naturally understands this.

Don't look at the current Huanyu Technology's netbooks, notebooks, and a series of Shenzhou products are selling well.

But no matter how good this one is, he is only in the Chinese market.

In addition to the Chinese market, the Pear 4 represents that it is not bad.

Everything else is average.

What is the Chinese market, Microsoft's market is a global market.

With the power of Huanyu Technology alone, it takes me wonder how many years it will take to make his computers and notebooks global.

After all, in the traditional PC field, this red ocean without much innovation, even if it is a 1-point market share, you may not be able to grab it in a year.

This is also why Chen Yu thinks of Asus and Acer in Taiwan.

Whether it's ASUS or Acer, they are the top PC computer suppliers in the world.

At this time, their share is much larger than that of Lenovo.

Compared with Huanyu Technology's PC market, Acer and Asus are simply 10 times the PC market of Huanyu Technology.

"Anyway, I'm going to go to Taishi. ”

Although I know that Microsoft has strategic cooperation with these super companies.

But there is such a thing as cooperation, and if you can cooperate, you can separate.

As long as the stakes in it are sufficient.

......

"Uncle Wenqi, Aunt Xuehong, this time I didn't bring you any good gifts from the mainland, so I brought two pears for the 4th generation. ”

Taiwan City.

Chen Yu did not go directly to ASUS and Acer, but first made an appointment with VIA's Chen Wenqi and HTC's Wang Xuehong.

The three of them have known each other for a long time, and they have a lot of cooperation with each other, so they naturally have a good relationship.

As he spoke, Chen Yu brought over the two 4th generations of pears.

"Tsk, the gold version of the 4th generation of pears, Chen Yu, you are generous. ”

"Aunt Xuehong, don't laugh at me, it's just a small thing, what kind of generosity in your eyes. ”

"This is not a small thing, it is said that the 4th generation of your pears alone has to earn 100 billion a year. ”

"100 billion, how can there be so much. ”

Chen Yu shook his head.

"Why aren't there so many, I'll help you settle an account. ”

Wang Xuehong is very concerned about the 4th generation of pears: "At present, your 4th generation of pears has sold 7 million units, each of which is 10,000 yuan, which is 70 billion." According to the current sales volume, you can sell at least 20 million units a year, which is 200 billion. ”

"Aunt Xuehong, look at what you said, don't cost it. ”

"Okay, excluding costs, make at least 100 billion. ”

"Then you have to give dealers profits, channel fees, publicity costs, and taxes?"

", it's all in there, don't tell me your net profit isn't 50%. ”

"Aunt Xuehong, how can this money be so easy to make. ”

Chen Yu snorted haha.

He's not going to talk about it anymore.

As for how much money does the 4th generation of pears make?

Chen Yu didn't know.

The question of how much money he made was left to the financial director.

In the future, Chen Yu will come, I don't like money, I never touch money.

"If you want to make money, Uncle Wenqi's chip is profitable. ”

Chen Yu turned the conversation to VIA's C4 chip.

Since the launch of the netbook, it is not Huanyu Technology that has made the most money, but VIA Electronics.

As for the reason.

That is, the vast majority of netbooks use chips that are from VIA.

Although Huanyu Technology's own netbooks have used some Tianwen 2 generations, Tianwen 2 is still inferior to VIA's C4 processor. Therefore, the Tianwen 2nd generation is only used on Huanyu netbooks. This also leads to the fact that the performance of Huanyu netbooks is not very good, but the overall performance of netbooks is not very good, and everyone does not pursue the performance of netbooks when they buy netbooks, which also makes Huanyu netbooks sell well.

In addition, the netbook is the first variety launched by Huanyu Technology, and the attraction of this kind of pioneer is still very strong.

However, except for Huanyu Netbook and Shenzhou Netbook, which use Tianwen 2 generation chips, most of the other netbook chips use VIA.

In this, although Intel and AMD have also launched chips in this market.

However, because the advantages of C4 low energy consumption are more obvious, C4 processors are also liked by many PC giants.

In addition to this, there is another reason.

That is, VIA Electronics is a Taiwanese company, and there are several PC giants in the Taiwanese market.

Asus, Acer, Mingji...... These three PC giants alone account for more than 30% of the global market share.

Everyone is from Taiwan, so they naturally use their own chips.

Plus some other PC giants also use c4 chips.

In the netbook market, VIA chips suddenly occupy more than 70% of the market share.

With such a large market, this also made VIA, which was originally beaten by Intel and had no power to fight back, instantly resurrected with full blood and was reborn in Nirvana.

"Chen Yu, why did it hit me?"

Chen Wenqi spread his hands.

"Uncle Wenqi, I can't talk about Aunt Xuehong, so I have to push it on your head. ”

"Don't use me as a wrigley, it's useless, tell you, I don't have any status at home. ”

"Poof......

Chen Yu was stunned and gave Wang Xuehong a thumbs up.

Wang Xuehong glared at Chen Wenqi: "What nonsense, what else do you have no status, what status do you want." ”

"No, no, no, I don't want any status, whatever my wife says. ”

"What did you just say?"

"I was wrong. ”

Chen Yu naturally watched it with relish.

"While going, didn't you see Chen Yu's little guy watching the excitement?"

Wang Xuehong saw Chen Yu watching the play and said, "Say, what are you doing in person this time in Taishi, won't you just send us pears?"

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want Uncle Wenqi and Aunt Xue Hong to do me a favor?"

"What's the busy?"

"I want to ask Aunt Xue Hong to say a favor to TSMC President Zhang. ”

"Oh?"

Wang Xuehong was a little surprised: "Chen Yu, this is not like your personality. ”

"I can't help it, it's a lot of pressure. ”

Chen Yu said helplessly: "I believe you also know that TSMC has joined forces with Samsung, and Intel once put pressure on us, and we have been forced by them recently. ”

"I think you caught TSMC off guard, your Huanyu payment is amazing. ”

"What's so powerful, you can only keep the local market, and other markets are not what they say. ”

This is naturally not Chen Yu's purpose in looking for the two.

Chen Yu said that this was only a temporary idea.

Microsoft's strategic cooperation with major PC giants stimulated Chen Yu.

Microsoft has a global monopoly, but it still has strategic partnerships with a number of PC giants.

Although Huanyu Technology has made some achievements now, it has also made a lot of enemies.

It would be best if you could fool your opponent strategically and give Huanyu Technology some more time.

However, Wang Xuehong seemed to see Chen Yu's thoughts: "Come less, you are asking me to fool people." Do you think Zhang Zhongmou is so easy to deceive, who told you to dig up his general Lin Benjian. Besides, you have all invested tens of billions of dollars to enter the lithography machine market, and it is impossible for him to let you go. ”

"I'm just talking. ”

Chen Yu smiled: "If you can't fool, you can't fool." But, Aunt Xuehong, which side are you on?"

"When you're on your side, but no one else is stupid, so put away your little tricks. ”

"That'll do. ”

Chen Yu had no choice but to give up this idea, and then said: "Then I'll tell you the truth, this time I didn't come to Taiwan City for Zhang Zhongmou, I wanted to meet Shi Congtang and Shi Zhenrong." ”

"Asus vs. Acer?"

Shi Congtang is the chairman of ASUS.

Shi Zhenrong is the founder and chairman of Acer.

"Yes. However, I don't know the heads of the two families very well, so I would like to ask Aunt Xue Hong to introduce me. ”

"What do you want to talk to them about?"

"This ......"

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Yu said: "I would like to ask them to support our Huanyu system. ”

I can't hide this if I want to.

A big contest like this, where can you sneak around.

This kind of contest is definitely a big battle with real knives and guns.

"No, Chen Yu, are you going to have a head-on confrontation with Microsoft?"

Chen Wenqi, who hadn't spoken much before, said in great surprise: "I advise you to think about it, Microsoft's strength, I believe you also know, not you can move if you want to." ”

"Because I know Microsoft's strength and its influence, I should compete with them even more. ”

"Chen Yu, tell me what you think. ”

Wang Xuehong, who has always been a strong woman, didn't say anything, she wanted to hear Chen Yu's thoughts.

"Actually, we don't have any ideas, just like our idea of lithography machines, we don't want to be controlled by others. ”

Both of them nodded their heads.

Chen Yu said, why don't the two of them know?

If you want to say that they are controlled by others, they are VIA, and they HTC have long been taught.

It's like VIA.

Because VIA uses Intel's x86 architecture, VIA has always been passive.

If it weren't for Chen Yu's help, VIA Electronics would have been killed by Intel.

But even so, even now, VIA Technologies is still subject to Intel.

"You have a point, and I understand your thoughts. Whether you are working on chips, systems, or even lithography machines, your ideas are very good and forward-looking. However, Microsoft is not TSMC or Intel after all, they have a huge ecosystem. Countless hardware and software vendors around the world rely on their systems before they receive a share of the benefits, including VIA. If you want to PK head-on with Microsoft, to be honest, I'm not optimistic about Huanyu Technology......"

As a technologist, Chen Wenqi rationally analyzed and said to Chen Yu.

"Uncle Wenqi, I also understand what you said, but if this is the case, then we will be controlled by others for the rest of our lives. As soon as our business grows to a certain point, they'll ban you, just like Intel sued VIA. ”

"This ......"

Chen Wenqi didn't know what to say.

According to what he said, in the competition with Microsoft, Huanyu Technology will definitely be finished.

Don't compete with Microsoft, the future will be VIA Electronics.

"I think China not only has its own Chinese chips, but also has its own domestic operating system. This is not only the demand of information security, but also the need to get rid of the influence of Microsoft and walk out of an IT road that belongs to our China. Otherwise, we will not only be restricted by Microsoft, but other companies will also be restricted by them. This kind of restriction is like a cage, it has always shrouded you, no matter how potential you are, no matter how much you have growth...... There's no way you're going to escape his grasp. ”

This is not Chen Yu's casual nonsense.

From the perspective of the history of Internet IT in the previous life.

Before the mobile Internet, China's Internet can be said to be completely controlled by the Western Internet represented by Microsoft and Intel.

But after the mobile Internet, it also broke the Microsoft Intel alliance.

As a result, a series of high-tech enterprises have emerged.

Toutiao, Douyin, Didi Taxi, Mobile Payment, Meituan...... Wait a minute.

If it was still controlled by Microsoft and Intel at that time, I'm sorry, what Douyin, what taxi, what mobile payment, what Meituan...... To hell with all of you. Even if they could, they would be able to destroy it, or prop up their own forces.

"I agree with Chen Yu. ”

Listening to Chen Yu quietly, somewhat surprised, Wang Xuehong actually chose to support Chen Yu.

"Xuehong, you?"

"Wen Qi, Chen Yu is right, if Huanyu Technology doesn't take this road, sooner or later they will suffer what we have suffered before. ”

"Xuehong, you may be wrong, it's not that I don't want Huanyu Technology to compete with Microsoft, but it's not this time. After the development and growth of Huanyu Technology, there may be greater certainty. ”

But Chen Yu shook his head: "Uncle Wenqi, I thought about it before what you said, but the longer the time is held, the more unfavorable it will be for us." ”

Even in the era of mobile Internet in the previous life.

Although the mobile Internet era has broken Microsoft's hegemony, in the PC area, Microsoft is still the only one.

In other words, even in 2020, 2021, 2022, or even 2030, you may not be able to find the right opportunity.

But for Chen Yu, now is a good time for Huanyu Technology.

As for why the choice was made now, not later.

One is that next year, in 2006, Microsoft will launch their Vista system.

This system is one of Microsoft's worst, and it will be resisted by countless companies.

It's 2005, and it's a few months until 2006, and it's time for Huanyu Technology to strike now.

Second, in 2006, according to the process of Huanyu Technology, they will launch real smartphones.

Although Chen Yu believes that their smartphones can definitely change the world.

But...... Chen Yu had to prepare with both hands.

Although the smartphone is powerful, Chen Yu's opponent is equally extraordinary.

Microsoft is a big challenge.

Microsoft can fully gather its own strength to challenge Chen Yu in the smartphone area.

Other words.

Now moving Microsoft's windows can also be a good diversion from Microsoft.

Chen Yu's thoughts.

It is naturally best to break Microsoft's monopoly.

It can't be broken.

It is also a big strategy to let them focus on traditional PCs all the time and not make trouble for Chen Yu in the field of mobile Internet.

At the same time, Chen Yu also wants to start a big war with Microsoft to establish the status of Huanyu Technology.
