Chapter 794: Dota Global Championship

Huanyu Demon God series notebook is a high-end notebook computer business engaged by Huanyu Technology and Shenzhou.

All right.

said that it was done together, but in fact, Huanyu Technology did it by itself.

At that time, Chen Yu proposed the idea of doing it with Shenzhou, but Shenzhou Wu Haijun refused.

The reasons for the refusal are also normal.

The domestic computer business has only been developing for a long time, and it has been suppressed by foreign countries, so it is better to associate it.

They have finally made a name for netbooks, and they should be deeply involved in netbooks.

High-end notebooks are not so easy to make, and even if they do, no one will buy them.

However, Wu Haijun didn't do it, but Chen Yu planned to do it.

Therefore, this is the Huanyu Demon God series notebook.

This notebook is mainly high-end.

It's just that Chen Yu mentioned the Demon God series notebook, but Zhang Jianming seemed a little hesitant.

"What, Brother Jian, aren't you optimistic?"

"I don't know how to say it. ”

"I don't know what I don't know, what else can't be said in front of me, say it. ”

Chen Yu also knows that there are many people who oppose the creation of this high-end notebook.

In this, people like Wu Haijun, who specializes in computers, are also opposed.

Of course, he is not against making high-end notebooks, but he feels that he can't do it now.

To make a high-end notebook, it will take at least five years.

But Chen Yu can't wait.

After five years, the daylilies are cold.

"We did some market research, and although our Daedric notebook performed very well and looked amazing, the price was too high, and it is estimated that the market would not accept it. ”

"What else?"

"There is also a high-end notebook series, that is, IBM's Thinkpad, alien notebooks, and Apple notebooks, and we have no advantage in this area. ”

One is that there isn't much of a market.

The other is that the competitors are also strong.

It's too hard to launch a high-end notebook business.

I believe this is also the reason why Wu Haijun didn't want to enter so quickly.

Who doesn't want to do high-end?

But it's not like you can do it if you want to be high-end.

It's not just about technology, it's about the market and competitors.

Of course, the technology is handled by Huanyu Technology.

Laptops and desktop computers don't really have much technology.

Because for the time being, most of the accessories are produced by other manufacturers, such as chips, memory, motherboards...... Wait a minute.

As long as these high-performance accessories are added together, it is impossible for him not to think about high-end.

However, the laptop also has a heat dissipation problem, which is a bit more complicated than the desktop.

But it's not particularly difficult.

After Huanyu Technology invested heavily in research and development, most of the heat dissipation problems have been solved.

"You have a point. ”

Regarding Zhang Jianming's worries, Chen Yu also nodded: "But how do you know if you don't launch it." ”

opened his mouth, Zhang Jianming wanted to say more, but in the end he knew that it was useless to say it.

What Chen Yu decides is basically difficult to change.

Moreover, what Chen Yu saw seemed to be more of a faint indication that he was moving forward on the right path.

......

A few days later, Huanyu Technology held a new product launch conference.

The Demon God Notebook was also shown to the world for the first time.

The Demon God notebook is the most high-end notebook of Huanyu Technology.

He uses Intel's latest Core 1st Gen processor.

It is said that this processor has not yet been released in large quantities around the world, but it was taken by Huanyu Technology first.

4G RAM with 2G MSI discrete graphics.

It adopts a large 17-inch display.

In terms of configuration, it can be said that it is the highest existence among high-end notebooks at present.

Especially the 17-inch display.

The display screen of a typical notebook is about 14 inches, the larger one is 15 inches, and the largest is less than 16 inches.

But the Daedric notebook has increased the size of the monitor to 17 inches.

Under the display of the 17-inch large screen, this brings users a more domineering appearance.

In addition, there are colorful keyboard lights.

As soon as the Demon God Notebook was unveiled, it instantly amazed countless media.

Even if there was a series of high-end notebooks before, it looked dull under the Demon God series.

"I'm grass, this notebook is too domineering. ”

"I've never seen a notebook so good. ”

There are some computer enthusiasts who have stars in their eyes.

For this, Chen Yu is full of confidence.

When he creates his products, he has always attached great importance to appearance.

There is a pear mp3 of Huanyu Technology in the front, and a pear mobile phone in the back.

Now there is also a netbook created by Huanyu Technology, and the appearance has always been the selling point of Huanyu Technology.

Not to mention anything else, just by his appearance, he was enough to capture a series of people.

However, with such a high configuration and such a cost-free creation of the Demon God series, his price is also amazing.

The price starts at 17,000 yuan.

As soon as such a price came out, it also made those professionals and enthusiasts scream.

"17,000 yuan, damn it, it's more expensive than IBM's. ”

"It's not just more expensive than IBM, it's more expensive than an alien computer. ”

"It's also more expensive than Apple's notebook. ”

In addition to high-end performance, high-end computer brands generally need to be high-end.

So IBM can build a high-end brand.

Apple can build a high-end brand.

Lenovo can't, so it can only buy IBM's ThinkPad as its own high-end notebook.

Dell can't either, so it can only buy alien computers as its own high-end brand.

In the true sense of the high-end, everyone only recognizes IBM and Apple.

As for why?

This is for historical reasons.

One is the pioneer of the personal computer.

The other is the pioneer of personal laptops.

The contribution of both to computers is not comparable to that of other computer companies.

No matter how awesome other computer brands are, in terms of brand value, they cannot surpass IBM and Apple.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Huanyu God and Demon notebook has entered the high-end market.

Any computer company wants to get into the high-end.

But if you enter the high-end and play cost-effective, everyone may be able to accept it.

Same configuration, same performance, you're cheaper than them, and there may be some market for that.

But if the same configuration, the same performance, you are more expensive than them?

So excuse me?

Please give me a reason not to buy IBM.

Please give me a reason not to buy an Apple notebook.

Please give me a reason not to buy an alien computer.

"The price is too high, I guess the gods and demons notebook will pounce. ”

"I think so, too. ”

"It's a pity, such a domineering computer. ”

After the pricing came out, a series of industry insiders thought so.

Even if there are some notebook enthusiasts who will buy it, not many of them will buy it.

Of course, there are also people who think that the Huanyu Demon God series notebooks may not be about making money.

They are just to increase the brand value of Huanyu.

He's just proving to the world that we can make high-end notebooks too.

If that's the case, that's understandable.

However, Chen Yu needs not only to improve his brand value, but also to sell sales.

No sales are purely for the sake of flexing muscles, and it is useless.

Without sales, it is unlikely to generate any commercial value.

Moreover, Chen Yu dared to raise the price under the pressure of Foxconn, which was also optimistic about the Demon God Notebook.

As long as the Demon God notebook is selling well, with the super high price of the Demon God notebook, their OEM salary can be increased by a few hundred.

However, it seems that this time Chen Yu's plan has failed.

Although many people think that the Demon God Notebook is very amazing, it does make many people excited.

But the price of 17,000 yuan can be said to scare away 99% of users.

"Mr. Chen, this is the shipment volume of our Demon God notebook in the past few days. ”

Zhang Jianming was somewhat embarrassed to submit a piece of data to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu threw it aside and didn't look at it.

Still watching?

In the past few days, he has been staring at the shipment of the Demon God notebook, and he knows very well how much he has sold.

In addition, judging from the media and market feedback, Chen Yu also knows that the Demon God Notebook has only won one acclaim.

"Brother Jian, it seems that Dota is going to start a global championship. ”

Suddenly, Chen Yu asked.

"Uh......"

Zhang Jianming didn't know why Chen Yu suddenly asked about DOTA, but he still said: "Yes, this is the first global DOTA tournament we held. ”

It should be said that this is not the first edition.

In the previous WCG days, Dota hosted world-class tournaments.

But WCG is WCG, WCG is a comprehensive event, and it is also an event held by South Korea.

Although WCG is okay, Chen Yu feels that he can do a more popular event than WCG.

Even if this event is only a Dota match, nothing else.

Although it seems impossible.

But in fact it is not impossible.

The WCG did not become more and more popular over time, but slowly lost its influence.

This has to do with the fact that the game events in WCG are gradually losing their vitality.

For example, Blizzard's Warcraft.

Do you still need Warcraft with Dota?

Another example is CS.

Although CS is good, his popularity is actually not particularly high.

In the future, if Huanyu Technology engages in a cross-fire line, CS will be finished directly.

As for what Delta, Interstellar, there are basically not many players anymore.

"How much is the prize money?"

"1,000,000 RMB. ”

"1 million yuan for the finals?"

Chen Yu asked.

"Yes. ”

"Is 1 million too low?"

"Mr. Chen, this is currently the highest prize money in the global game category. Moreover, this 1 million seems to have been proposed by you in the first place. ”

"I'll go, it's been a matter of how long. ”

Chen Yu suddenly remembered the 1 million bonus he mentioned when he was in the Internet café of the Battle Alliance.

At that time, in order to promote Dota, when Chen Yu said 1 million, everyone was boiling.

But the world has been developing, and 1 million was high before, but for now, Chen Yu feels that it is not attractive.

"1 million is not good, too low. ”

Chen Yu shook his head.

"Do you want to add it to 2 million?"

Zhang Jianming proposed.

"Why are you so stingy, in this way, we multiply it 10 times, 10 million. ”

"10 million?"

Zhang Jianming was dumbfounded: "10 million, Mr. Chen, is it too much?"

"More than 10 million, we don't have more than 10 million in any business. By the way, the naming rights to our Demon God Notebook ......"

That's right.

What Chen Yu has to do is to take advantage of this Dota Global Championship to promote his Demon God Note to the world in one fell swoop.
