Chapter 910: New Product: 1 Body Machine

"Chen Yu, I don't know what your plan is, but since you've decided, I can help you meet with both of them. But whether you can convince ASUS and Acer depends on your ability."

"thanks."

The next day, under the introduction of Wang Xuehong, Chen Yu's first appointment was with Shi Congtang, chairman of ASUS.

Before meeting Chen Yu, Shi Congtang was also very interested in Chen Yu.

However, after Chen Yu and Shi Congtang met, when he talked about the PC operating system, Shi Congtang shook his head directly.

"Sorry, Mr. Chen, we ASUS have never considered this."

"It can be considered now."

"I don't think so."

"Mr. Shi, I know you have cooperation with Microsoft, but do you think Microsoft can always monopolize the entire market?"

"Philosophically speaking, everything has life and death, so do companies, and Microsoft will die one day. Microsoft can monopolize the world, and there will be a day when Microsoft can't monopolize the world. However, I haven't seen such signs yet. And, I don't think you Huanyu Technology can challenge Microsoft's position, although you have done a good job."

"Not necessarily."

"Mr. Chen, if you see me just for this matter, then I'm sorry, this matter is basically nothing to discuss. However, if there are other aspects of cooperation, I think it can be discussed in detail. Of course, you asked me to discuss the matter. , I won't reveal half a word to anyone."

pity.

On the first day of meeting, Chen Yu hit a nail.

Although Chen Yu wanted to fight Microsoft, it was clear that ASUS didn't want to.

However, Chen Yu was not discouraged.

If he said this, these traditional PC bigwigs will follow up, then Microsoft's alliance is too bad.

The next day, Chen Yu met Shi Zhenrong, the founder of Acer.

As the world's third largest notebook and computer manufacturer, Acer has played a key role in building the system ecosystem.

Learning from the experience with ASUS Shi Congtang, Chen Yu did not directly talk about the PC operating system in his interview with Shi Zhenrong this time.

But directly throw out the payment pass, ready to cooperate with Acer.

"Paypass, is Mr. Chen really willing?"

Shi Zhenrong was also very interested in Chen Yu's arrival.

In particular, a series of innovations made by Universal Technology in the electronics industry, which Acer does not have.

For example, the introduction of netbooks in the PC area and the introduction of game books are all genius-level ideas.

It is precisely with this kind of creativity that Huanyu Technology, a company without much hardware experience, broke into the PC field.

I have to say, this is a miracle.

You know, when they started Acer, they all started from a small workshop.

In just a few years, Huanyu Technology has achieved the market that they have only achieved for decades.

"There is nothing to give up. Alipay is a third-party payment tool. The more people use it, the better it will be for us. If we only use it for ourselves and don't choose to open it up, sooner or later our competitors will launch a third-party payment tool similar to ours. Third-party payment tools, which are also very bad for us.”

"Mr. Chen really has a broad vision."

Shi Zhenrong said with admiration.

It is normal for young people to have courage, ideas and innovation.

Young people can see such a long-term vision, it is not something that ordinary young people can be afraid of.

Shi Zhenrong has seen many geniuses, and some of these geniuses are no worse than Chen Yu in terms of boldness and innovation.

But they are far inferior to Chen Yu in terms of vision, mind and bearing.

They feel that they can take care of the world by themselves.

pity.

The world is diverse, and the world is simply too complex.

You simply can't do it on your own.

"Mr. Shi has won awards. Compared to you, we are only juniors, so what kind of vision do we have?"

"Mr. Chen is modest. However, Mr. Chen gave us a big gift as soon as he came, and I won't be rewarded for nothing."

Although Shi Zhenrong wants to cooperate with Alipay, Shi Zhenrong has been in the business world for decades, and he naturally knows that this is definitely not so simple.

"It's not a big gift. The reason why I expressed a little heart is just to cooperate with Acer and launch a new product."

"New products, Mr. Chen, I'm very interested in the new products you mentioned."

While talking, Shi Zhenrong said again: "Your netbooks and your gaming notebooks were really amazing before. Could it be that there is a new PC product this time?"

"Indeed, we intend to develop a PC product called an all-in-one computer."

"One machine?"

Shi Zhenrong was a little puzzled: "What is an all-in-one machine?"

"That is, the motherboard meta-parts and screens are all integrated together, no chassis is needed, only one monitor is needed."

"This idea?"

Although Chen Yu said it was relatively simple, but after working on computers for decades, just thinking about it, Shi Zhenrong already had the structure of this product in his mind.

This is equivalent to a computer without a mainframe.

But he obviously did not have a host, but stored all kinds of components in the host into the display enclosure.

It's kind of like a notebook, but it's not a notebook.

He has a monitor on a traditional PC and can also have a keyboard, but he doesn't need a mainframe.

Judging from the display package cover, they have a lot of space to arrange various components.

"Mr. Chen, you are here to stir up the PC market again!"

Staring at Chen Yu, Shi Zhenrong really admired it.

First there were netbooks, then gamebooks, and now all-in-ones.

Not to mention three products, even if it is one of the products, a series of manufacturers around the world can't think of it.

But now, three innovative products have emerged from Huanyu Technology.

Don't look at this as a simple idea, but it is such a simple idea that he has sold tens of millions.

Or you would say.

There is a desktop computer, why do you want such an all-in-one computer without a chassis?

Obviously, an all-in-one computer without a chassis will definitely outperform an ordinary desktop computer.

But it doesn't matter.

Importantly, many people actually buy a computer that doesn't even use 10% of its performance.

This is why many people buy netbooks.

No matter how bad the performance of the netbook is, they don't care, because they meet the needs of users.

Although the performance of the all-in-one machine is not particularly high, basically most of the functions are supported.

He's also certainly more than a netbook.

also.

Because there is no host, and no need for too awesome performance, the price of the all-in-one machine can also make many consumers excited.

Plus, it's also more convenient than a traditional PC desktop, isn't it?

But although he admired it, Shi Zhenrong said: "Mr. Chen, you have already acquired Shenzhou, and you have done a good job in the field of OEM. You can launch an all-in-one machine yourself, it seems that there is no need to cooperate with us Acer. "

Don't look at this as cooperation, but this kind of cooperation has given Acer a preemptive opportunity.

Universal Technology has already entered the PC field with its first-mover advantage.

As a global PC company Acer, if they have a first-mover advantage, it is directly sold to the global market.

Such a big gift is no longer a concept of payment through cooperation.

"Mr. Shi laughed. Although we have our own foundry platform, our R&D strength is also good, and our performance in the domestic market is OK, but we are much weaker in the global market."

"clear."

Shi Zhenrong nodded.

If they cooperate with Acer, this is definitely an opportunity for Universal Technology to enter the PC global market.

"Mr. Shi, this is our design plan, you can refer to it."

"thanks."

Actually not necessary.

Chen Yu is only a little bit, Shi Zhenrong already has an idea.

As long as there is this idea, Shi Zhenrong can turn this idea into a product.

So it doesn't matter if you don't look at the design drawings given by Chen Yu.

However, when he saw Chen Yu's design plan, Shi Zhenrong was a little surprised: "Mr. Chen, such a plan?"

In Shi Zhenrong's mind, he thought that Chen Yu's design was similar to the idea in his mind.

The so-called all-in-one machine is nothing more than integrating various electronic components in the display.

In other words, the all-in-one machine they want to build will look like a traditional PC computer monitor.

But the design given by Chen Yu, although the plan given by Chen Yu is only a display.

But Chen Yu's display design, in one sentence, is that it is really beautiful.

Not only beautiful, but also has a strong sense of technology.

Just a glance, let alone performance and demand, even if it is for appearance, there is a strong desire to buy.

"I admire, Mr. Chen, I admire you."

Giving a thumbs up to Chen Yu, Shi Zhenrong said, "I finally understand, you Huanyu Technology really deserves its reputation."

Just like this design.

Product innovation is just one point, and they have implanted this innovative idea everywhere.

For example, the appearance of innovation.

This look isn't just the look of the monitor, it's the look of the keyboard as well.

Couldn't the computer be more beautiful?

Does the all-in-one machine have to be like the original PC monitor?

Can't it be replaced with a pattern?

Although this seems to be easy to understand, the more time he spends in this area, the more he will be solidified by traditional PC thinking.

Just like in everyone's cognition, the computer monitor should be like this.

A computer keyboard should do the same.

Phones do need keyboards too.

The bowl must also be round.

You simply don't have the idea of ​​a different way.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhenrong chatted with Chen Yu about Huanyu Technology's pear series again.

Isn't the pear series products the ultimate in appearance innovation?

However, Chen Yu and Shi Zhenrong said so much, these are just warm-ups.

His real purpose is not to cooperate with payment, nor to cooperate with all-in-one machine.

"Mr. Shi, I wonder if you are interested in such cooperation?"

"I'm interested, of course I'm interested. If we're not interested, then we at Acer may not be able to keep up with the times."

"However, I have two conditions for cooperating with your company."

"Mr. Chen, please speak."

"I want Acer all-in-ones to carry our Universal OS."

"this……"

After hesitating for a while, Shi Zhenrong nodded, "Yes."

In the netbook business before, Acer has been equipped with the Universal operating system.

Although Microsoft once objected, but the market for netbooks is not large, and it is easy to take it. Acer can also withstand the pressure of Microsoft.

As for the all-in-one machine reusing the Universal system, this is understandable.

Although the all-in-one computer has a great market, it is also a niche market like the netbook, and it is impossible for him to sell more than traditional PC computers.

But even though this is a niche market, if Acer has a first-mover advantage, this is also a huge profit.

Therefore, Shi Zhenrong did not refuse Chen Yu's proposal to build a universal system.

Also, he felt normal.

If not, why does Huanyu Technology cooperate with you?

"What about the second condition?"

There is no problem with the first condition, and then Shi Zhenrong asked about the second condition.

"The second condition, that is..."

Looking at Shi Zhenrong, Chen Yu still said: "I hope Acer has more than 30% of the traditional PC computers in the global market, equipped with the Universal system."

"what?"

At this time, Shi Zhenrong finally understood the real purpose of Chen Yu's coming to him today.
