The reason was very simple.
It could be said that he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Even if Microsoft and Intel did not join forces to deal with him, Chen Yu would take the initiative to attack.
He wanted to see who would be the last one to be banned.
Needless to say.
Was there a need to say it?
When Huanyu Technologies counter-banned them, Microsoft and Intel were stunned.
They did not expect this.
In their eyes, mice and keyboards were not technical at all. But now, they were banned.
This had overturned their worldview.
More importantly, Huanyu Technology's OEM losses weren't that great.
But to Microsoft and Intel, this was a huge blow.
No matter how big the OEM keyboards and mice were, they did not earn much.
But Microsoft was an operating system, and the other was a chip.
These two were definitely products with huge profits.
Not to mention tens of millions of orders, even if it was just one or two orders, the price would be dozens of times higher than the price of a mouse and keyboard.
Now that they were banned by Huanyu Technologies, their profits would plummet by at least 50%, or even more.
"Bill, we're in a bad situation."
After hearing the news from Huanyu Technologies, Intel's CEO, Paul, immediately looked for Bill.
"I know. We're thinking of a solution now."
"Bill, we can think of what you can think of too. Do you really think we have a solution?"
Paul stared at Bill. He was actually a little nervous.
Huanyu Technologies' OEM skills were not strong, but they had almost monopolized all the keyboards and mice in the world.
Even if they could produce such a large volume, they would not be able to produce so many products in such a short time.
This gave Huanyu Technologies a chance to rope in other PC manufacturers.
At this time, Paul had received a secret message. It was said that Hongji seemed to have reached an agreement with Huanyu Technologies.
"Bill, I've received news that Hongji is not doing well."
"Is the news accurate?"
Bill's heart trembled.
Hongji was one of the top three PC manufacturers in the world. If Hongji fully invested in Huanyu Technologies, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Although we don't have any concrete news for now, Hongji was able to cooperate with Huanyu Technologies before, so we can do it again this time."
Paul always liked to think the worst of things.
He was not a pessimistic person, but he felt that if they could solve the worst case scenario, then everything would be fine.
Hongji was only one of them. Paul continued, "It's not just Hongji. Asustek might also join Huanyu Technologies."
Both Hongji and Asustek were global PC manufacturers.
Once these two manufacturers betrayed them, it would be the same as destroying Microsoft and Intel.
Then, if they eliminated Hongji and Asus, the only companies they could keep were Dell and HP.
These two were American brands, so there shouldn't be a problem.
But other than Dell and HP, Samsung, Sony … these companies might not be on the same side.
At this thought, Paul gasped in his heart.
He did not agree with banning Huanyu Technologies from the start. He did not expect this ban to push them into such a terrible situation.
"Bill, why don't we …"
Paul did not finish his sentence.
He knew Bill should know what he meant.
Of course, he knew what Paul meant.
It was nothing more than renegotiating with Huanyu Technologies.
But is this called renegotiating?
If Feng Yu wants to renegotiate, it will be tantamount to surrendering. To Bill Gates, this is an insult to Microsoft.
"I know, but we don't have a solution now."
"It's not that we don't have a solution, but it will take some time."
Bill clenched his fist and said, "Huanyu Technologies' OEM business does not have any technology. If they can do it, we can do it too."
"But if we do this, we will not make any money."
"It's fine if we don't make money. Even if we don't make money, we will still do it."
Huanyu Technologies's counterattack finally woke Bill up.
In the past, Microsoft and Microsoft were not interested in these low-tech businesses. But now, at this critical moment, these low-tech businesses can also defeat them.
"However, this will still take a very long time. Even if we want to do it, it will take at least three to five years to achieve a certain scale. I'm afraid these 3 to 5 years … "
"Although 3 to 5 years is a long time, I don't believe Huanyu Technologies can destroy Microsoft in these 3 to 5 years."
Since Bill had made this decision, he will not change his mind.
Of course.
Bill wouldn't be so stupid as to wait for three to five years.
After discussing with Paul, Bill personally went to Hongji and Asus.
Regardless of whether Hongji and Asus would side with Huanyu Technologies, Bill had to explain the stakes to them.
The second step was to invest a huge sum of money to set up a OEM business in the US.
The third step was to deal with the current crisis. Microsoft cooperated with major PC manufacturers to launch a business to recycle second-hand computer cases and keyboards.
Microsoft and Intel are really going all out to deal with the ban of Huanyu Technologies.
Especially the third step, recycle second-hand keyboards and computer cases.
Once this business was launched, the keyboards and computer cases that had accumulated a lot of dust at home, and even the rotten keyboards and computer cases that couldn't be rotten became treasures.
Some people even went to the garbage factory to look for second-hand computer cases and keyboards in the garbage.
Some people even bragged online that they had more than a dozen second-hand computer cases at home. Many people were envious.
However.
Even so.
Not all second-hand keyboards and computer cases were worth recycling.
Even if all of them could be recycled, they would not be able to catch up with the new shipments.
The recycling business launched by major PC manufacturers could only solve the coal burning problem.
Regarding this.
Microsoft and Intel naturally understood.
These moves only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. Huanyu Technologies's OEM business was too big. They could not do anything to Huanyu Technologies for the time being.
However.
Bill was also a ruthless person.
After being tricked by Huanyu Technologies with the keyboard and mouse, Bill went directly to Tai City.
Tai City.
There was a key giant — TSMC.
He wanted to carry on with the ban.
