Chapter 909: Huanyu Technology's Status in the Arena (2 in 1)
"I didn't expect Microsoft to be so cautious."
Before, Chen Yu always felt that windows can monopolize the world, relying on ecology.
In fact it is.
Without ecology, Windows has long been wiped out by others.
But even so.
With such a strong ecosystem, Microsoft still signed strategic cooperation with major PC giants.
I have to say that Microsoft's cautiousness is really admirable.
"Chen Yu, you don't want to completely compete with Microsoft, right?"
Wu Haijun asked weakly.
"Old Wu, why can't we compete with Microsoft? You must know that we competed with Huanyu Technology back then."
"It's two different things."
Wu Haijun shook his head and said, "The competition between you and Microsoft can only be regarded as a partial competition. Whether it's instant messaging, browsers, or even input methods, if Microsoft loses, they lose. They may not care very much. However, if you challenge them If you have an operating system, you will have to thoroughly compete with Microsoft.”
"I know this one too."
Chen Yu nodded.
He will not be unaware of the horror of Microsoft.
It's just, if you don't even have the idea of moving Microsoft, how can you compete with him in the future?
"Actually, we can develop steadily by ourselves. With the current sales of netbooks, notebooks, and desktop computers, of course, including Shenzhou, it can be regarded as occupying a certain amount of sales. In a few years, we will look for opportunities."
"Which year will it be in a few years? It's hard for us alone to have much impact on Microsoft."
Chen Yu naturally understood this.
Don't look at the netbooks, notebooks, and Shenzhou's series of products sold by Huanyu Technology.
But no matter how good it can be, he is only in the Chinese market.
In addition to the Chinese market, the fourth generation of pears has performed well.
Others are very general.
What is the Chinese market, Microsoft's market is the global market.
With the power of Huanyu Technology alone, it took him a few years 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 market share of 1 point, you may not be able to grab it in a year.
This is why Chen Yu thought of Asus and Acer in Taiwan.
Whether it is 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 the PC market of Universal Technology, Acer and ASUS are 10 times of the PC market of Universal Technology.
"Anyway, I'm going to go to Taishi."
Although I know that Microsoft has strategic cooperation with some of these super big companies.
But cooperation is such a thing, if you can cooperate, you can separate.
As long as the benefits are sufficient.
...
"Uncle Wenqi, Aunt Xuehong, I didn't bring you any good gifts this time from the mainland, but brought two fourth-generation pears."
Taiwan City.
Chen Yu did not go directly to Asus and Acer, but made an appointment with Chen Wenqi from VIA and Wang Xuehong from HTC.
The three 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.
With that said, Chen Yu brought over two pear 4th generation.
"Tsk tsk, the golden version of the fourth 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 your fourth generation of pears alone will earn 100 billion a year."
"100 billion, how can there be so many."
Chen Yu shook his head.
"Why aren't there so many, let me settle an account for you."
Wang Xuehong is very concerned about the fourth generation of pears: "At present, your fourth 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 2,000 a year. 10,000 units, or 200 billion."
"Aunt Xuehong, as you said, don't cost anything."
"Row,
Excluding the cost, earn at least 100 billion. "
"Then what about profits, channel costs, publicity costs, and taxes for dealers?"
"Bum, it's all wrapped up in it, don't tell me that your net profit is not 50%."
"Aunt Xuehong, how can this money be so easy to earn?"
Chen Yu snorted haha.
He will not continue to discuss this topic.
As for how much money pear 4th generation made?
Chen Yu didn't know.
The question of how much money to make is left to the chief financial officer.
In the future, Chen Yu will come, I don't like money, I never touch it.
"In terms of making money, Uncle Wenqi's chips make money."
Chen Yu turned the topic to VIA's c4 chip.
Since Universal Technology launched the netbook, it is not Universal Technology that has made the most money, but VIA Electronics.
As for why.
That is, most of the chips used in netbooks are from VIA Electronics.
Although Huanyu Technology's own netbooks have used Tianwen 2 for some time, Tianwen 2 is still inferior to VIA's c4 processor. Therefore, Tianwen 2nd generation is only used on Huanyu netbooks. This also leads to the fact that the performance of Universal Netbooks is not very good. However, the overall performance of netbooks is not very good. People who buy netbooks do not pursue the performance of netbooks. This also makes Universal Netbooks sell well.
In addition, the netbook is the first product launched by Huanyu Technology, so the attractiveness of this pioneer is still very strong.
However, except for the Huanyu netbook and the Shenzhou netbook, which use Tianwen 2nd 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 of the obvious advantages of low energy consumption of c4, the c4 processor is also favored by many PC giants.
Besides, there is another reason.
That is, VIA Electronics is a Taiwanese company, and there are several PC giants in the Taiwanese company itself.
Asus, Acer, Mingji... These three PC giants occupy more than 30% of the global market share.
Everyone is from Taiwan and naturally uses their own chips.
Plus some other pc giants also use c4 chips.
In the netbook market, VIA chips have occupied more than 70% of the market share at once.
With such a large market, VIA Electronics, which had been beaten by Intel and was unable to fight back, was instantly revived and reborn.
"Chen Yu, why did you get involved with me?"
Chen Wenqi spread his hands.
"Uncle Wenqi, I can't say enough about Aunt Xuehong, so I have to push it on you."
"Don't use me as a dagger, it's useless, tell you, I have no status at home."
"puff……"
Chen Yu was stunned and gave Wang Xuehong a thumbs up.
Wang Xuehong glared at Chen Wenqi: "What nonsense, you have no status, what status do you want."
"No no no, I don't want any status, what my wife says is what she says."
"So what did you say just now?"
"I was wrong."
Chen Yu naturally watched with relish.
"Anyway, didn't you see the little guy Chen Yu watching the fun?"
Seeing Chen Yu watching the play, Wang Xuehong said, "Tell me, what are you going to do in Taiwan this time in person? If you don't want to give us pears, will you?"
"Actually it's nothing, just want Uncle Wen Qi and Aunt Xue Hong to do me a favor?"
"What are you busy with?"
"I want to ask Aunt Xuehong to say a word to President Zhang of TSMC."
"Oh?"
Wang Xuehong was a little surprised: "Chen Yu, this is not like your personality."
"No way, it's very stressful."
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 recently been forced to be devastated by them."
"I think you caught TSMC by surprise. Your Huanyu payment is amazing."
"What's so powerful can only keep the local market, and other markets are not what they say."
This is naturally not the purpose of Chen Yu looking for the two.
Chen Yu said that this was just a temporary intention.
The fact that Microsoft has reached strategic cooperation with major PC giants stimulated Chen Yu.
Microsoft has monopolized the world, but it still has strategic cooperation with a number of PC giants.
Although Huanyu Technology has made some achievements now, it has also made many enemies.
If you can fool your opponents strategically and give Huanyu some time, that would be the best.
However, Wang Xuehong seemed to see Chen Yu's thoughts: "Come on, you are asking me to fool people. Do you think Zhang Zhongmou is so easy to deceive? Who told you to dig his general Lin Benjin. Besides, you guys He has spent tens of billions of dollars into 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, you can't fool you. But, Aunt Xuehong, where are you standing?"
"When you are on your side, but others are not stupid, you should put away this little trick."
"That's fine."
Chen Yu had to give up this idea, and then said: "Then I will tell the truth, this time I came to Taiwan not for Zhang Zhongmou, I want to meet Shi Congtang and Shi Zhenrong."
"Asus and 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 Xuehong to introduce me."
"What do you want to talk to them about?"
"this……"
After thinking for a while, Chen Yu said, "I want to ask them to support our Huanyu system."
It is impossible to hide this matter.
In such a big contest, where can you sneak up on it.
Such a contest would definitely be a battle with real knives and real guns.
"No, Chen Yu, are you trying to PK with Microsoft?"
Chen Wenqi, who had not spoken much before, said with great surprise: "I advise you to think about it, Microsoft's strength, I believe you also know that it is not something you can move if you want."
"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.
"In fact, there is no idea. Like our idea of making a lithography machine, we don't want to be controlled by others."
At this point, both of them nodded.
What Chen Yu said, why didn't the two of them know?
To say that it is controlled by others, they are VIA, and they have already experienced HTC.
Like VIA Electronics.
Just because VIA Electronics uses Intel's x86 architecture, VIA has always been passive.
If it wasn't for Chen Yu's help, VIA Electronics would have been killed by Intel.
But even so, even now, VIA Electronics is still subject to Intel.
"What you said makes sense, and I also understand your thoughts. Whether you are engaged in chips or systems, or even lithography machines, your ideas are very good and forward-looking. However, Microsoft is not TSMC, nor is it Intel, they have a huge ecological group. Countless software and hardware manufacturers around the world depend on their systems before they get the benefit distribution, including our VIA Electronics. If you want to have a head-to-head pk with Microsoft, I am not optimistic about Huanyu. Technology……"
As a techie, Chen Wenqi rationally analyzed 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. Once our business develops to a certain extent, they will block you, just as Intel did against VIA Electronics. sue."
"This……"
Chen Wenqi didn't know what to say.
According to what he said, if it competes with Microsoft, Huanyu Technology will definitely be doomed.
Can not compete with Microsoft, the future end is their VIA Electronics.
"I think China not only has its own Chinese chip, but also has its own domestic operating system. This is not only a demand for information security, but also to get rid of Microsoft's influence and walk out of an IT system that belongs to China. The needs of the road. 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 always covers you, no matter how much potential you have, no matter how much growth you have... You can't escape his grasp."
This is not Chen Yu's nonsense.
Look at the history of Internet it in the past.
Before the mobile Internet, the Chinese Internet can be said to be completely controlled by the Western Internet represented by Microsoft and Intel.
But after the mobile Internet, it broke the Microsoft-Intel alliance.
As a result, a series of high-tech enterprises appeared one after another.
Toutiao, Douyin, Didi Taxi, Mobile Payment, Meituan...etc.
If it was still under the control of Microsoft and Intel at that time, I’m sorry, what Douyin, what taxi, what mobile payment, what Meituan... You all go to hell. Even if they can appear, they can destroy it, or support their own forces.
"I agree with Chen Yu."
Quietly listening to Chen Yu's story, Wang Xuehong unexpectedly chose to support Chen Yu.
"Xuehong, you?"
"Wenqi, Chen Yu is right, if Huanyu Technology doesn't take this path, sooner or later they will suffer what we have suffered before."
"Xuehong, you may be thinking wrong. It's not that I don't want Huanyu Technology to compete with Microsoft, but not at this time. When Huanyu Technology develops and grows, it may be more certain. "
But Chen Yu shook his head: "Uncle Wen Qi, I thought about what you said before, but the longer it takes, the worse it will be for us."
Even in the era of mobile Internet in the previous life.
Although the era of the mobile Internet has broken Microsoft's dominance, it is still Microsoft's dominance in the PC sector.
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 Universal Technology.
As for why choose now, not later.
One is according to the historical process, next year is 2006, Microsoft will launch their vista system.
This system is Microsoft's worst system, and it will be boycotted by countless companies.
It is 2005 now, and 2006 is still a few months away. It is the right time for Universal Technology to attack.
Second, in 2006, according to the progress of Universal Technology, they will launch a real smart phone.
Although Chen Yu believes that their smartphones can definitely change the world.
But... Chen Yu had to prepare both hands.
Although smart phones are powerful, Chen Yu's opponents are equally extraordinary.
Microsoft is a big challenge.
Microsoft can gather its own strength to challenge Chen Yu in the field of smartphones.
That is to say.
Moving Microsoft's windows now can also divert Microsoft's attention.
Chen Yu's thoughts.
Can break Microsoft's monopoly, naturally the best.
Unbreakable.
It is also a big strategy to let them focus on traditional PCs and not trouble Chen Yu in the field of mobile Internet.
At the same time, Chen Yu also wanted to establish the status of Huanyu Technology by launching a war with Microsoft.
