"Sanders, how are the negotiations with those manufacturers going?" Feng Yu is using a toothpick to pick up the iced watermelon as he video-called Sanders.
"I had spoken to three manufacturers, and they said they need to consider. But I can tell they are interested." Sanders replied.
"Ok. Hurry up and use this period to negotiate with those manufacturers. With the support of the first manufacturer, the rest will be easier. Remember, if anyone rejects us, we will not give them a chance even if they regret later! "
There were definitely some manufacturers that were loyal to Intel. Therefore, AMD's request for more orders than Intel would definitely be rejected. If they reject us, they can forget about joining us.
At most, Feng Yu will stop doing business with these manufacturers. Even if these manufacturers are top conglomerates like Dell or Hui Pu, Feng Yu does not care.
Now, all the major PC manufacturers must be working hard to promote their tablets, and none of them had launched their products yet. It's not because they had not developed their products, but their products are not good enough.
If you are the one who developed this product, it doesn't matter if the product's performance is slightly inferior. But if you already have a good product, and you want to produce a worse one, it does not mean your product will not sell. But this way, your product will be classified as a second-tier product.
These PC manufacturers are unhappy with each other. Who is willing to be classified as a second-tier product? That's why they must produce a better product. At least, the performance must not be worse than Lenovo's L-Pad.
At this moment, they realized AMD's core is more suitable for this tablet. If it is combined with the HOS system, it will be even better.
If they use Intel's core and XP, the performance will be much worse. Either the performance will be worse, or the cost will be too high, and it is not suitable for the market.
The PC manufacturers want to order AMD's new APU, but AMD wants them to order a batch of CPUs to reduce the number of Intel products.
This is obviously a tie-in sale, and it is considered unfair competition. But AMD will not be so direct. The reason they gave is that they have a lot of CPUs in stock, and before these CPUs are sold, they do not intend to sell their APUs.
Of course, everyone knows this is an excuse. But AMD's hardware is more suitable for a tablet PC.
Many manufacturers had agreed to order more CPUs from AMD, but they did not expect AMD to order more CPUs than Intel.
Those manufacturers couldn't agree to this request. Currently, AMD has a good reputation in the CPU market, and they are more famous for their dual-core CPUs. However, Intel's production capacity is higher, and many of their products are more cost-effective.
Even though the PC market had transitioned from single-core to dual-core, and many brands had stopped producing single-core PCs, Intel was still the market leader because of the terms of the contract.
Also, Intel is in an alliance with Microsoft, and Microsoft had done a good job with Intel's hardware. Now, they know that Lenovo Kingsoft's XOS system had improved on AMD's hardware. But they did not see the actual performance.
Currently, most of the operating systems are still Microsoft products. Although these manufacturers felt Lenovo Kingsoft's XOS is better, didn't Microsoft say they will introduce a new generation of operating system soon?
Microsoft is still the most powerful software supplier. Before Microsoft's new operating system is introduced, the manufacturers dare not bet on Lenovo Kingsoft.
Microsoft had improved Intel's hardware, and at the same time, they had also improved AMD's hardware. But Lenovo Kingsoft said they will only improve AMD's hardware, and that's different.
All the PC manufacturers are unhappy with Lenovo Kingsoft and AMD. But at the same time, they must support these two companies. If not, Microsoft and Intel will monopolize the market, and the PC manufacturers will become assembly companies.
After AMD and Lenovo Kingsoft rose, the PC manufacturers' profits had increased significantly. Both Intel and Microsoft had to lower their prices, and the PC manufacturers are happy to see this.
The PC manufacturers do not want to go back to the past, but they also do not want to see AMD and Lenovo Kingsoft monopolizing the market. The PC manufacturers want to find a balance, and this balance needs all the manufacturers to work together.
But the problem is Lenovo Group. Lenovo Group is the world's top PC manufacturer, and their product development and design concepts are constantly changing people's perception.
The PC manufacturers want a balance, but this is not what Lenovo Group wants. After all, Lenovo Group is one of Lenovo Kingsoft's shareholders.
Also, Feng Yu owns shares in these companies, and this is what the PC manufacturers are worried about.
Last year, < Forbes > reported that Feng Yu's wealth is around 80 billion USD, and Feng Yu had made a lot of money in the financial market. This year, the financial market had changed a lot. < Forbes > had changed the rankings of many tycoons, but Feng Yu's position is unshakable.
There are rumors that Feng Yu's net worth had exceeded 100 billion USD, and no one in the future can surpass him. Although this is only a rumor and has not been verified, the PC manufacturers felt the gap between Feng Yu and Feng Yu is not big.
Don't forget that many of Feng Yu's companies are not listed yet. Once they get listed, Feng Yu's net worth will increase, and Feng Yu's net worth might even be comparable to many top listed companies in the future.
These PC manufacturers realized that Feng Yu's IT-related industries are so powerful that they can even leave all their companies behind and form their own industry.
From hardware to software, semiconductor and terminal manufacturers, Feng Yu owns all of them, and all of them are the best in the world. If they work together, they can affect the development of the entire IT industry.
For example, all the PC manufacturers are developing tablet PCs, and all the mobile phone manufacturers are working hard to produce the best smartphone. This direction is led by Feng Yu.
These PC manufacturers are competitors during normal times, but if something affects their interests, they will also work together.
Feng Yu knew that after he invests in so many top IT companies, he will face resistance. But he used his subsidiaries' shareholders to settle the resistance.
If he does not need to use those shareholders' connections, Feng Yu can own many of these companies!
Now that his wings were fully formed, it was time to bare his fangs.
The IT industry's up to Feng Yu to set the rules!
