"Boss Chen, your netbook plan is very good. VIA is very interested in the netbook business. How do you want to cooperate?"
After chatting with Chen Yu for three days, it was finally time to formally discuss the cooperation.
Wang Xuehong, who used to call Chen Yu Little Bro Chen Yu, also formally called Chen Yu Boss Chen.
"Boss Wang, what do you think?"
"We want to sign a 10-year exclusivity agreement."
"Ten years is too long."
Chen Yu shook his head, indicating that it was not possible.
"If we don't sign a 10-year contract, we can't guarantee VIA's interests. If you go into the arms of Intel in the future, what will we do? "
"I'm worried that when netbooks become popular in the future, your company will cooperate with other computer manufacturers."
"In that case, there is a very good solution."
"Boss Wang, please speak."
"Invest."
"That's what I think too."
Chen Yu smiled.
There was no permanent partner in the world, but there was a permanent relationship of interests.
The reason why major companies were bound together was that they had a community of interests.
And the best way to protect the community of interests was to invest.
If it was before, VIA Electronics probably wouldn't even think about investing in Huanyu Technologies.
When VIA Electronics was at its peak, not everyone could obtain shares of VIA Electronics.
But that was then and this is now. VIA Electronics was being suppressed by Intel. This was the best opportunity to invest.
"It seems that Boss Chen already wants to buy shares of VIA Electronics."
Seeing Chen Yu nod, Wang Xuehong said with a smile.
"Boss Wang, what are you talking about? Didn't I just say that I'm also worried that after netbooks become popular, you will look for other partners VIA Electronics. Moreover, VIA is also short on funds, so it's the best choice for us to join. "
Of course, this was all calculated by Chen Yu.
VIA now, even if he didn't want Chen Yu to invest, he would still invite Chen Yu to invest.
Once Chen Yu invested, the first thing that Chen Yu had to consider was the chip VIA Electronics.
Because it involved Chen Yu's interests.
VIA Electronics also needed Chen Yu's investment to ensure their chip's position.
This method was very common.
Most global tycoons and their strategic partners would adopt the method of cross-shareholding to protect their interests.
"You're making it sound so nice. I think you're trying to target Microsoft."
Wang Xuehong pretended to say casually.
Chen Yu was not surprised.
It would be strange if Wang Xuehong couldn't tell that he didn't install the Windows operating system on his website. Although many people thought that Microsoft was invincible, Wang Xuehong, a successful businesswoman, was no ordinary person. Chen Yu made such a big move. If it was just for the netbook, it was absolutely impossible.
Of course, the netbook business was also the core of Huanyu Technologies.
But the ultimate goal was definitely Microsoft.
"Boss Wang, VIA Electronics has always wanted to compete with Intel. Can't we try to compete with Microsoft?"
"Good kid, you're really something."
Seeing that Chen Yu didn't deny it, Chen Wenqi said in surprise, "You have to know that Microsoft is more powerful than Intel."
There were a lot of companies in the world that could produce chips.
But the only popular PC operating system in the world was Microsoft.
From this, it could be seen that Microsoft was more powerful than Intel.
This was also proven by the market value of the company.
Of course, this didn't mean that Microsoft's technology was better than Intel's.
This had nothing to do with technology.
No matter how bad Microsoft's technology was, they were almost invincible when they monopolized the entire market.
"Everyone has to have dreams, right?"
"Alright, let's toast to our cooperation."
The three of them raised their glasses and clinked.
No matter what Chen Yu's plan was, VIA was a community of interests.
They wanted to compete with Intel VIA, but they also wanted to compete with Microsoft.
If they didn't defeat Microsoft and Intel, both VIA and Huanyu Technologies would always be suppressed by them.
Chen Yu left the rest of the matter to his legal team.
Although the cooperation had been reached, the details of the cooperation, the amount of shares, the amount of investment, and the division of interests had to be detailed before the cooperation. Chen Yu didn't need to worry about such detailed matters.
The cooperation with VIA Electronics was a success.
As for Wang Xuehong guessing that Chen Yu wanted to compete with Windows, Chen Yu didn't care.
The operating system was too big. Even if Chen Yu wanted to hide it, he wouldn't be able to in the future.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Chen Yu not participating in the operating system plan.
The target of the operating system plan was too obvious. It would be targeted as soon as it came out.
Although Microsoft might find out that Chen Yu was doing the operating system alone, under Chen Yu's plan, Microsoft couldn't do anything about it as long as all the companies involved could profit.
In fact, from Chen Yu's point of view, the so-called ecosystem was a circle of interests.
The reason why Microsoft's ecosystem was strong was because all the companies could make money from Microsoft's operating system.
The reason why the ecosystem of the Linux system couldn't be built was because all the companies couldn't make money from the Linux operating system.
Huanyu Technologies wanted to build this ecosystem, so all the companies had to make money from it.
The processors had to make money, the computers had to make money, and the operating system had to make money as well.
Similarly, it wasn't just them who had to make money. Their competitors in the future also had to make money.
Once this circle of interests was built, the ecosystem would be built.
"Boss Chen, we have to go back to Taiwan."
"Have a safe trip."
"Sure, you too. Be careful when you go back to Shencheng."
Chen Yu said goodbye to the two of them.
They were going back to Taiwan, and Chen Yu was going back to Shencheng.
Of course, Chen Yu had one more thing to do.
It was the collaboration with HTC Hongda Electronics that Chen Yu and Wang Xuehong had mentioned.
However, seeing that Wang Xuehong didn't have this idea, Chen Yu didn't mention it again.
Chen Yu knew what Wang Xuehong was thinking. Huanyu Technologies's mobile phone business had taken over the ultra-low-end market, but this didn't prove the strength of Huanyu Technologies. In their eyes, once Huanyu Technologies left the ultra-low-end market and entered the mid-range or high-end market, they had no chance.
Of course, Chen Yu didn't care about this.
HTC wasn't the only company with hardware capabilities. As long as Huanyu Technologies showed its strength, there would be many companies willing to work with them in the future. However, by then, the conditions of the collaboration would have to be changed.
…
"Xuehong, aren't you very interested in Huanyu Technologies' mobile phone business?"
"Yes."
"Then why don't you work with Chen Yu? Two days ago, Chen Yu mentioned a collaboration."
"I want to work with them, but I'm hesitant."
Wang Xuehong shook her head and said, "It's rumored in the industry that Huanyu Technologies doesn't have much strength. It's all about price. Also, some other mobile phone manufacturers are already unhappy that Huanyu Technologies is tied to the telecom operators. For example, Lenovo is a large state-owned enterprise. It's said that they have reached an agreement with the telecom executives. Next month, Lenovo mobile phones will be introduced in every business hall in the country. "
"It seems that Huanyu Technologies signed an exclusive agreement with the major telecom operators."
"What's the point of being exclusive? Huanyu Technologies doesn't have the final say."
Wang Xuehong had seen too much in the business world. Although she had high hopes for Huanyu Technologies, once other mobile phones entered the major telecom business halls, Tianyu Mobile's market share would definitely drop. In the Chinese mobile phone industry, there were many companies with connections, such as Lenovo.
Once Lenovo entered the market, Huanyu Technologies' unbeatable legend of monopolizing the sinking market would come to an end.
"It's said that Huanyu Technologies has already prepared mid-range and low-end mobile phones."
"Mid-range and low-end mobile phones are the most competitive market in China. Nokia's market share isn't that high either. If Huanyu Technologies can make a name for themselves in the mid-range and low-end mobile phone market, I'll be the first to work with them. "
"The competition in the mobile phone market is too fierce. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. I'd better focus on my chips."
Chen Wenqi shook his head.
When it came to market operations, he had always listened to his wife, Wang Xuehong.
