Chapter 794: Dota Global Competition

Huanyu Moshen series notebook is a high-end notebook computer business jointly developed by Huanyu Technology and Shenzhou.

All right.

It is said that we do it together, but it is actually done by Huanyu Technology itself.

At that time, Chen Yu proposed to do it together with Shenzhou, but Shenzhou Wu Haijun refused.

Reasons for refusal are also normal.

The domestic computer business has just developed, and it has been suppressed by foreign countries, so Lenovo is better.

They finally made the name of netbooks, and they should be deeply engaged in netbooks.

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

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

Therefore, there is the Huanyu Demon God series notebooks.

This notebook is high-end.

However, Zhang Jianming seemed hesitant about the Demon series notebooks mentioned by Chen Yu.

"What, brother Jian, are you not optimistic?"

"I do not know how to say it."

"What don't you know, what else can't be said in front of me, let's talk."

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

In this, a computer professional like Wu Haijun also objected.

Of course, he's not against doing high-end notebooks, but he doesn't think it's possible to do it now.

To be a high-end notebook, at least five years later.

But Chen Yu can't wait.

Five years later, the day lilies are cold.

"We did some market research. Although our Demon Laptop has a very good performance and a stunning appearance, the price is too high, and it is estimated that some of the market will not accept it."

"anything else?"

"There is also a high-end notebook series that includes IBM's thinkpad,

There are Alien notebooks, and Apple notebooks. We have no advantage in this area. "

One is that there is not much market.

Another is that the competition is also very strong.

To launch a high-end notebook business, it is too difficult too difficult.

I believe this is also the reason why Wu Haijun did not want to enter so quickly.

Who doesn't want to be high-end?

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

There is not only technology, but also the market and competitors.

Of course, the technology aspect is handled by Huanyu Technology.

Laptops and desktops don't actually have much technology.

Because for the time being, most of the accessories are produced by other manufacturers, such as chips, memory, motherboards... and so on.

As long as these high-performance accessories are added together, it is impossible for him to think high-end.

However, notebooks also have a heat dissipation problem, which is more complicated than desktops.

But it's not really that difficult.

After Huanyu Technology spent a lot of money on research and development, the heat dissipation problem has been mostly solved.

"You're right."

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

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

What Chen Yu decides is basically difficult to change.

Furthermore, the things that Chen Yu saw, more and more seem to indicate that he is moving forward on the right path.

...

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

For the first time, the Demon God's Notebook was displayed in front of the world.

Moshen Notebook is the most high-end notebook of Huanyu Technology.

He uses Intel's latest Core 1 generation processor.

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

4G memory, and with 2G MSI discrete graphics card.

Using a super large 17-inch display.

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

Especially the 17-inch display.

The average notebook display is about 14 inches, the larger is 15 inches, and the largest is less than 16 inches.

However, the Moshen Notebook has increased the size of the display to 17 inches.

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

There are also colorful keyboard lights.

As soon as the Demon Laptop appeared, it immediately amazed countless media.

Even if there were a series of high-end notebooks before, the Majin series appeared to be bleak.

"I mean, this notebook is too domineering."

"Never seen such a beautiful notebook."

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

For this, Chen Yu has full confidence.

When he builds his products, he always pays special attention to appearance.

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

There are also netbooks created by Huanyu Technology. The appearance has always been the selling point of Huanyu Technology.

Huanyu Demon God Notebook doesn't say anything else, just relying on the appearance, he is enough to capture a series of people.

However, with such a high configuration and such an inexpensive creation of the Demon God series, his price is equally astonishing.

The price starts at 17,000.

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

"17,000 yuan, I rely on it, it's more expensive than IBM's."

"Not just more expensive than IBM, but more expensive than alien computers."

"More expensive than Apple's laptops."

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

So IBM can build a high-end brand.

Apple can build a premium brand.

Lenovo can't, and can only buy IBM's thinkpad as its own high-end notebook.

Dell can't either, and can only buy Alienware computers as its own high-end brand.

In the real sense of high-end, everyone only looks for IBM and Apple.

As for why?

This is for historical reasons.

One was the creator of the personal computer.

The other is the pioneer of the personal notebook computer.

The contribution of the two to the computer is not comparable to other computer companies.

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

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Huanyu Shenmo 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 for the price/performance ratio, everyone may still accept it.

The same configuration, the same performance, you are cheaper than them, there may be some markets.

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

So please?

Please give me a reason not to buy IBM.

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

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

"The price is too high, I guess the Shenmo notebook will be thrown."

"I feel so too."

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

After the price came out, a series of people in the industry thought so.

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

Of course, some people think that the Huanyu Demon series notebooks may not be for making money.

They are just to enhance the brand value of Huanyu.

He just proved to the world that we can make high-end notebooks too.

If so, it is understandable.

However, what Chen Yu needs is not only to improve the value of his own brand, but more importantly, for sales.

No sales are purely just to show off muscles, and it's useless.

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

Moreover, Chen Yu dares to increase the price under Foxconn's pressure, that is also optimistic about the Demon Notebook.

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

However, it seems that this time Chen Yu's plan went awry.

Although many people think that the Devil's 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 of our Demon God notebook in recent days."

Zhang Jianming submitted a piece of data to Chen Yu with some embarrassment.

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

Still want to see?

He has been keeping an eye on the shipments of Demon God notebooks in the past few days, and he knows exactly how much they sold.

In addition, judging from the media and market feedback, Chen Yu also knew that the Devil's Notebook only won one applause but not one.

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

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 competition we held."

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

Before wcg, dota held world-class competitions.

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

Although wcg can do it well, Chen Yu feels that he can make a more popular event than wcg.

Even if this event is only for dota games, nothing else.

Although it seems impossible.

But it's not impossible.

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

This is related to the gradual loss of vitality of game events in wcg.

Such as Blizzard's Warcraft.

Do you still need warcraft with dota?

Another example is cs.

Although cs is good, his popularity is not particularly high.

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

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

"How much is the prize money?"

"One million yuan."

"One million yuan in the finals?"

Chen Yu asked.

"Yes."

"Is 1 million too low?"

"Mr. Chen, this is the highest prize money in the global game category at present. Moreover, this 1 million seems to have been proposed by you at the beginning."

"I'm going, how long has it been?"

Chen Yu suddenly remembered the 1 million bonus he mentioned when he was at the Zhanmeng Internet Cafe.

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

But the world is developing all the time. Before 1 million was considered high, but now, Chen Yu does not find it attractive.

"One million won't work, it's too low."

Chen Yu shook his head.

"Would you like to add to 2 million?"

Zhang Jianming suggested.

"Why do you want to be so stingy? In this way, we will double it 10 times, 10 million."

"10 million?"

Zhang Jianming was stunned: "10 million, President Chen, is it too much?"

"Is it more than 10 million? We have more than 10 million in any business. By the way, the naming rights are given to our Demon God Notebook..."

That's right.

What Chen Yu has to do is to take advantage of this Dota Global Tournament to push his Devil's Notes to the world in one fell swoop.
