Chapter 913: Changing the PC Industry Landscape
"Brother, you won't be fooled by Chen Yu, right?"
"Fooled, there are indeed some who have been fooled by him. ”
"And you?"
"Don't you think it's an opportunity?"
Shi Zhenrong said: "Microsoft can't always monopolize, and we can't always be bound to them. ”
"But the problem is that now Microsoft is monopolizing, and if it's not good, Acer's PC business will be greatly affected. ”
"That's exactly what I'm worried about, otherwise, I would have just agreed to him. ”
"It's too risky, man, isn't that your style?"
Shi Congtang still shook his head: "It is best to maintain the existing cooperation with Microsoft." ”
"Congtang, do you know that when you left Acer, I kept asking, did I do something wrong?"
"Brother, why did you mention the events of the year again, isn't it in the past?"
"It's in the past, of course, I don't always remember it. I was just thinking that if I had listened to you more, maybe you wouldn't have come to ASUS. ”
Shi Congtang's personality tends to be open, while Shi Zhenrong's personality tends to be conservative.
At that time, Shi Congtang believed that Acer could use the market in its own PC field to enter the motherboard business.
But because Shi Zhenrong thought that this piece would offend Intel, he did not enter.
In a fit of rage, Shi Congtang left Acer and joined ASUS.
And, after entering ASUS, through a series of efforts, ASUS defeated Intel's motherboard business and became the world's No. 1.
"Hehe, from the hall, speaking of which, you were the most courageous among our brothers back then. ”
Shi Zhenrong said with a smile: "It stands to reason that when Chen Yu came to you, you should be able to think about it." ”
"Probably old. ”
Shi Congtang was stunned.
This reminded him of the past.
Although everyone was not optimistic about their competition with Intel at that time, he relied on his incomparable belief to defeat the powerful Intel.
But time has passed, and the spirit of the year has gradually faded.
But the dramatic thing is that Shi Zhenrong, who had always been conservative back then, gradually opened up.
"yes, old. ”
Shi Zhenrong also sighed: "We are all old. ”
It's just that the conversation changed, but Shi Zhenrong said again: "But because we are old, there are not many opportunities left for us." ”
"Brother, have you thought about it?"
"Although I didn't think about it completely, I thought I would agree to Chen Yu. ”
“......”
Looking at Shi Zhenrong's expression, Shi Congtang knew that Shi Zhenrong had already decided.
"Chen Yu, this guy is really amazing. ”
Inside, Shi Congtang said.
He didn't expect that Chen Yu would be able to convince Shi Zhenrong.
Still, he wondered why.
"Brother, can I ask, why did you agree?"
It's definitely not a fight for it.
It's not something that has been beaten to the blood.
"It's still my brother who understands me. ”
Although Shi Zhenrong wanted to fight, he did not lose his mind.
It's not that he's unaware of Microsoft's horrors.
The reason why he wants to fight, in addition to wanting to give Acer a chance, is more because of Huanyu Technology.
"Brother, do you know Huanyu Technology?"
"I don't know how to put it, but while I think it's a tech company with a lot of potential, there's still a big gap between them and Microsoft. ”
"It's true that there is a big gap now, but their earning power is not bad at all. ”
"There are too many things to do about the Internet, and everyone knows that the bubble is too serious. ”
Shi Congtang's meaning refers to the overvaluation of Friends Network and Huanyu Video, and he is not worth the price.
"Let's not talk about this for the time being, let's talk about Huanyu Technology's PC business. They didn't have a PC business back then, but they invented netbooks. ”
"The netbook isn't an invention, it's a notebook. ”
"It's not an invention, but he avoided competing with us and suddenly broke into the PC space. ”
"But the market is not huge. ”
"It's not big, really, but they invented the game book right after that. ”
"A gaming laptop can only be considered a high-end notebook. ”
"Theoretically, that's true, but doesn't that give them a big market share. ”
"In fact, when the two are combined, their share is not high. ”
"What if they invent a new PC product?"
"Inventing a new PC product?"
Shi Congtang's eyes widened: "What other innovations are there in PC products?"
"Chen Yu talked to me about this business last time, as for what this product is, brother, I can only keep it secret from you for the time being. When our new products come out, you will know it at a glance. ”
At this time, Shi Congtang thought alone.
In his heart, he naturally admires the innovation ability of Huanyu Technology.
Although the PC products he said above are just a different concept, he is actually a notebook.
But even if it is a different concept, his market is enough to make a PC company make a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, after netbooks and game books, Huanyu Technology was born with a new product.
Although this new product is what for the time being he does not know.
But looking at Shi Zhenrong's expression, he believes that the market share of this new product is definitely not lower than that of netbooks and game books.
Even, even higher.
If that's the case, then, it seems like it's okay for Acer to take a risk.
That's not the point, though.
Shi Congtang also knew that what Shi Zhenrong told him was not this.
The meaning of the words is obvious.
Huanyu Technology can come up with a series of innovative products one after another.
Maybe after a while, he will have a new product.
When these innovations continue to appear, it may be possible to overtake the market share of traditional PCs at some point.
Even, in the future, there will be a variety of eliminated PC products, or more than PC products......
Is this possible?
When it doesn't appear, it's not possible.
Once it appears.
That's how the whole industry has changed.
......
"Chen Yu, I'm Shi Zhenrong. ”
There has been no news from Acer for a few days back in Shencheng, and Chen Yu secretly sighed that there may be no drama in this regard.
Unexpectedly, Shi Zhenrong called Chen Yu at noon.
"Mr. Shi, have you thought it through?"
"Mr. Chen, how do you know that I have thought it through and not rejected you. ”
"It's cruel to refuse that I can't call me personally. ”
"Hahaha, Chen Yu, you are very interesting. ”
Shi Zhenrong said: "Yes, I thought about it. ”
"Great, Mr. Shi, I knew that you would definitely make the right choice. ”
"I don't know if it's the right choice, but I'm nervous right now. ”
"Mr. Shi, don't worry, although Microsoft is very strong, as I said before, Microsoft is not invincible. ”
"Tell me what you say. However, I can't fully agree to the conditions you said before. ”
"Mr. Shi, you said. ”
"It is impossible to carry 30% of the share of your Huanyu system, this amount is too large, and we cannot afford such market consequences. ”
"Mr. Shi, what do you mean?"
"5 points. ”
"Yes. ”
Chen Yu didn't have any bargaining and agreed directly.
In fact, the 30% share he mentioned last time was just an infinite upward report.
Not to mention that Acer didn't dare to do this, and the Shenzhou acquired by Chen Yu didn't dare to do it.
Although the market share has dropped from 30% to 5%, it is really a bit much.
Even a 5% market share is too small.
But in terms of Acer's size, a 5% share is not small.
However, it is more important.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it's a 5% share, or another proportional share.
Even if it is a 1% market share, Chen Yu will agree.
As long as Acer has a traditional PC computer on the market equipped with the Huanyu system, this is enough.
Microsoft's powerful Chen Yu knows it clearly.
How could it be possible to kill him all at once.
But if Acer comes in, that's a signpost.
Even if it is one, this will have a profound impact on the existing PC industry pattern.
