Microsoft Bill's phone call was just a small interlude.
Chen Yu was indeed not very generous to make things difficult for this big boss.
But there was no such thing as being generous in the business world.
This was a crucial year for Huanyu Technologies.
If Intel's dual-core company rose, he would not be able to compete.
Not to mention rejecting Bill, even if Chen Yu was asked to be a real villain, Chen Yu would be willing.
There was no other choice.
China's foundation was too weak. Most of the time, he was limited by others.
Now, he could still secretly develop his skills.
If the two sides started a trade war in the future, Chen Yu could not develop secretly even if he wanted to.
Therefore, during this period, Chen Yu was doing his best to plan for the company's future.
"Wang Chang, you'll still be in charge of Weibo for the time being. However, you have to find a professional manager in the future."
"Boss Chen, I understand."
Wang Chang nodded.
Weibo might not look big, but that was only on the surface.
With the current trend of Weibo's development, its influence was comparable to Wechat's.
Wang Chang could be in charge of Weibo temporarily, but she could not be in charge of it long-term.
Moreover, Weibo had to be operated separately from Wechat's. If Wang Chang was in charge of Wechat's and Weibo's, it would not be good for Wechat's and Weibo's.
The best way was to find a professional manager.
"By the way, I'll be going to other companies in the next few days. Wang Chang, is there anything else big on Weibo?"
"I was just about to tell you, Boss Chen. There are two more big things on Weibo. One is our competitors, Yahoo, Google, AOL … they've all launched their Weibo. Including Microsoft, their MSN center has also launched their Weibo service. "
"Yes, I can predict that."
Chen Yu nodded. "Microsoft should not be a threat. Microsoft is a pure software company. They don't have much Internet genes. We should focus on Yahoo and Google, but we have the advantage of being first. At the same time, Wang Chang, you can also learn from our experience in the domestic Internet industry. "
"Yes, Boss Chen."
Wang Chang nodded.
Wang Chang was not particularly worried about this.
Although this was the United States, the development experience of the domestic Internet might not be worse than the United States.
In addition, he had been running WeChat for many years. Weibo and WeChat had something in common.
They could make their WeChat Moments number one in the world, not to mention Weibo.
One had to know that back then, WeChat didn't even have the advantage.
"And the other one?"
"The other thing is about the financing of our friend network."
"Financing."
Chen Yu did not expect WeChat Moments to raise funds so soon.
But thinking about it, it was normal.
Chen Yu's Weibo in the United States was different from the one in China.
In China, they just had to focus on the domestic market.
But in the United States, Chen Yu had directly mapped out the global direction.
And because it was registered in the United States, it was much more convenient to market it globally.
Of course, such promotion also required a huge amount of funds.
Although Weibo was just a few simple web pages, the operating expenses, promotion expenses, server fees … were all astronomical figures.
Think about it, there were tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people sending pictures, videos, and text on your server every day. This was a terrifying number.
"In this way, financing is necessary. But let's delay them for a while first and wait for me to come back. "
On the one hand, financing was needed to develop Weibo.
On the other hand, it was also the strategy that Chen Yu had set before.
He needed to use financing to bind the investment tycoons around the world.
In this way, when there were uncertain factors in the future, these investment tycoons could protect him.
However …
With WeChat Moments and the launch of Huanyu Video, Chen Yu was more and more confident in financing.
Previously, on WeChat Moments, Huanyu Video had a large number of venture capital tycoons chasing after him to invest.
This time, Chen Yu had to do the same.
"Okay, about the financing, we'll wait for Boss Chen to come back."
Although Weibo was short of money, financing was not at this time.
After communicating with Wang Chang, Chen Yu prepared to go to a few companies in the United States.
"Boss Chen, where are you going?"
"Nvidia."
Huanyu Technologies had a lot of plans, but it was not comprehensive.
Chen Yu only made arrangements in the key areas, but there were still many more important areas that he did not take care of.
For example, the GPU.
The so-called GPU was the graphics display chip. You could also think of it as the graphics card.
In PC products, there were three most important chips.
One was the CPU, also known as the central processing unit.
The other was the GPU, the graphics display chip. This chip determined the quality of the image of the electronic product.
The third was the motherboard chipset.
Currently, Huanyu Technologies had only made arrangements for the CPU, but not for the GPU or the motherboard chipset.
When it came to the most critical juncture in the future, the GPU and the motherboard chipset could sometimes become a fatal limitation.
The reason why Chen Yu wanted to go to Nvidia was that Nvidia was the world's most famous graphics chip manufacturer.
The more important reason was that the founder cum CEO of Nvidia was Huang Renxing.
Yes.
He was an American Chinese.
Most of you might not be familiar with Nvidia, but you must have seen the NVIDIA logo.
NVIDIA was the English name of Nvidia.
At the same time, you could often see the NVIDIA logo on many computers or laptops.
Huang Renxing was very interested in Chen Yu's visit.
"Boss Chen, I've heard a lot about you."
"Boss Huang, you're too polite. You're my senior. I'm here to learn from you."
"Learn from what? What do I have that's worth learning from? Oh right, don't call me Boss Huang. Those who are familiar with me call me Old Huang. You can just call me Old Huang. "
"Old Huang, haha. I've heard of your nickname before."
Chen Yu nodded and went straight to the point. "Then don't call me Boss Chen. I'm embarrassed to call you that. Just call me by my name."
"That's perfect, Chen Yu. That's the way to talk."
Huang Renxing clapped his hands. "Come, I'll make you a cup of tea. Congratulations, Huanyu Technologies has won a big battle recently. "
"Battle?"
"Why, isn't it? Your Weibo stopped Intel from promoting dual-core processors and affected Microsoft Vista's market share. If that's not a battle, then what is? "
"Well …"
Chen Yu smiled bitterly. "This can only be considered a small victory at most. It can't be considered a victory. Moreover, we've always been on the defensive against Intel and Microsoft. "
"Intel and Microsoft are very strong. Any company in the world would be on par with you."
The IT industry looked big, but it was actually very small.
Everything that happened in this market could be seen clearly by other companies.
However, Chen Yu did not come to Nvidia today to discuss the battle between them and Intel.
The purpose of his visit today was to dupe CEO Huang.
"Old Huang, I heard that AMD contacted you not long ago?"
"Contacted us?"
Old Huang smiled and said, "We're in contact with AMD almost every day. What contact are you talking about?"
"It's about acquisition."
"Acquisition?"
Old Huang was surprised. "AMD's current main business is the CPU. They haven't really entered the graphics card business."
"It's because they haven't entered the graphics card business that they have more demand for the graphics card business."
"Chen Yu, tell me your opinion."
"Actually, everyone knows the reason. The recent Intel dual-core incident will affect AMD's future plans. There's no doubt that in the CPU field, no matter how hard AMD works, no matter how innovative their technology is, they can't beat Intel. Moreover, Intel has a graphics card business and will even enter the standalone graphics card business in the future. This will be an even greater challenge for AMD. "
"Makes sense."
Huang Renxing nodded, but after a while, he shook his head and said, "But AMD really hasn't contacted us in this area."
"That's strange."
Chen Yu pretended to be surprised. "But I received news that AMD has contacted ATI."
Of course, AMD had not contacted ATI. This was all Chen Yu's bluff.
As for why Chen Yu dared to bluff like this …
This was because he was going to make a trip to ATI after talking to Old Huang.
