Chapter 912: Acquisition of 7xi Computer, Haier Computer

"Uncle Wenqi, Aunt Xuehong, I'm going back to the mainland right now."

"How's it going, how's it going?"

"I do not know either."

Chen Yu shook his head: "Asus directly rejected me, Acer neither refused nor agreed."

"That should be good news."

Wang Xuehong said with a smile: "Shi Zhenrong didn't refuse, it means he is already thinking about it. You are amazing, I thought you had nothing to do with this, but I didn't expect you to fool Shi Zhenrong."

"It's amazing. You don't know that when I talked with the CEO of Asus that day, when I said that I wanted to develop an operating system, he just stopped talking to me."

"Normal, you said to Wen Qi, let Wen Qi not engage in the x86 chip architecture, and it is estimated that Wen Qi will not talk to you."

Although VIA chips are their own chips, their architecture is still x86, still Intel's.

Although they are authorized.

But in this regard, VIA is still subject to Intel.

This is just like the Huawei chip in the previous life. Although the Huawei chip is very powerful, the architecture is still ARM.

Similarly, in the PC field, Acer is also subject to Microsoft.

But fortunately, as PC manufacturers, they have more right to speak than chip manufacturers. On the surface, Microsoft's influence on them is not so fatal.

Otherwise, Shi Zhenrong of Acer wouldn't even think about it, he would be the same as ASUS, and he didn't want to talk about anything.

However, it is understandable that ASUS does not want to talk about Chen Yu.

In addition to the PC business, ASUS also has a motherboard business.

And their motherboard business is too heavily affected by Intel, just like VIA is affected by Intel.

Intel's relationship with Microsoft is an alliance within an alliance.

The two are inseparable.

Intel can't do without Microsoft, and Microsoft can't do without Intel.

Because of Intel's relationship, Asus is naturally more cautious about Microsoft.

"Anyway, thank you Uncle Wenqi and Aunt Xuehong for their hospitality. I'll go back to the mainland first."

"Okay, go back and wait for the good news."

"Oh, I hope too."

Separated from Chen Wenqi and Wang Xuehong, Chen Yu returned to Shencheng.

"Chen Yu, how is it, is there any news from the two in Taiwan and the city?"

"Asus has nothing to talk about, Acer has to wait for their news."

"It's probably a little off, but I really didn't expect Acer to think about it."

Wu Haijun, like Wang Xuehong, was stunned when he heard that Acer was actually thinking about it.

In his opinion, such an operating system task should be rejected directly.

The reason is too simple.

Even if Chen Yu now installs the Huanyu system on all of Shenzhou's computers, Wu Haijun is not willing.

This is not because Wu Haijun failed to change his identity, but in fact, the traditional PC business replacement system will have a fatal blow to the entire PC sales.

Consumers will then vote with their feet.

It's like buying a computer and choosing a CPU.

There is no doubt that everyone's first choice is Intel.

If when you find out that this computer is using amd, unless you know computers well, or you just play games, then you may choose AMD. Otherwise, buy a computer must buy an Intel processor.

For this, Chen Yu also understood.

That's why Chen Yu didn't go to Lenovo.

Although Lenovo is a mainland company, in the general direction, Universal Technology is also in the same camp.

But if Chen Yu proposed such a cooperation, Lenovo would also refuse.

It is impossible for them to disregard their own business for the business of Universal Technology.

"Leave him alone, we have to act on our side."

"Chen Yu, do you want to talk to Lenovo?"

"Lenovo should not be able to talk for the time being."

Not to mention the grievances between Chen Yu and Lenovo, even if there is no grievance, Chen Yu can't talk about it.

"Then who are you?"

"Look for a chance to talk to Qixi and the Haier family?"

"Seven up, Haier... It's possible."

Qixi Haier is also one of the domestic computer brands.

However, their market is relatively small.

They don't have much influence over the overall market share.

"I'm familiar with them, I'll talk about it."

Wu Haijun suggested.

"Okay, but, Old Wu, you are not talking about cooperation, but about acquisitions."

"Acquisition?"

Wu Haijun was taken aback.

"Yes, Qixi, although Haier has a computer business, but in fact it has a small share, and they have not been making much money. They also want to sell the computer business. We have acquired it in the past, and there should not be too many problems."

"But after the acquisition, we may not be able to successfully operate these brands?"

Wu Haijun is very clear about the PC industry.

Although these are all computer brands, these companies do not take computers seriously.

Needless to say, Haier makes washing machines and refrigerators.

As for why to make computers, that is the strategy that Haier has to enter into all electronic categories.

It doesn't matter if you do it well or not, you have to have it anyway.

As for Qixi, they used to take the agent route, and they didn't make computers very well.

While both are interested in selling their computer businesses, not many companies are interested.

"We also don't want these two brands to be able to operate successfully."

"I'll go, Chen Yu, don't you just want to make an operating system?"

"Or else."

Chen Yu nodded and said: "I have to do the operating system business. It's difficult to rely on our family alone. Although Haier and Qixi Computer don't have much market, if we install our Huanyu system, we can change the current dominance of Microsoft to some extent. situation.”

This is actually the equivalent of advertising.

Even if the sales figures of Qixi and Haier are average or even very bad, it doesn't matter.

What Chen Yu cares about is the operating system.

Once users gradually accepted the Huanyu operating system, this also gave other PC manufacturers a head start.

"Tsk tsk, Chen Yu, you are getting bigger and bigger. For the sake of the operating system, you directly bought two computer brand companies. No, I rely on you, you even bought our Shenzhou."

By this time, Wu Haijun was clear.

Chen Yu's acquisition of Shenzhou isn't just about putting Wu Haijun in charge of their computer business.

More importantly, Chen Yu acquired Shenzhou for their operating system business.

Once the conditions are ripe in the future, Shenzhou will join the Huanyu system camp, which will have a considerable impact on the market.

...

"Brother, it's been 10 years since you went to Asus."

"Brother, plus this year, it's 11 years."

"Yes, in 2011, when you left Acer and joined Asus, I still can't figure it out. I didn't expect that after you joined Asus, you did Asus better than our Acer."

"Brother, my heart still belongs to Acer."

One of the two people who spoke was Shi Zhenrong and the other was Shi Congtang.

Both are founders of Acer.

But in 1994, Shi Congtang left Acer and joined Asus.

This suddenly, 11 years have passed.

"Brother, things are over, and I have long since disappeared. In fact, I admire you very much, especially when you fought between Asus and Intel, you robbed Intel's motherboard business, and became the world's first. , I will obey you on this point."

"Brother, you are my role model. In fact, I have always learned from you."

"What are you studying? If I had such courage, I wouldn't have been working on PCs all the time."

"Brother, you?"

Shi Congtang felt that there was something in Shi Zhenrong's words.

"Congtang, I heard that Chen Yu from Huancong Technology met with you?"

"Uh……"

Shi Congtang hesitated for a while, but nodded: "I did meet once."

"What are you talking about?"

"About their Paytong business."

"Hehe, dishonest, didn't he tell you about the operating system?"

Shi Zhenrong smiled and pointed to Shi Congtang.

Shi Congtang was a little surprised. He promised Chen Yu, but he never took this business from anyone else.

But looking at Shi Zhenrong's expression, he understood: "Brother, Chen Yu is looking for you too?"

"When he came to Taiwan, he looked for you first, then me."

"Chen Yu, this guy really doesn't give up."

Shi Congtang shook his head helplessly: "I didn't talk to him about any conditions, I just rejected him. Brother, how about you?"

"I'm thinking about it."

"No way."

Shi Congtang couldn't believe it.
