"Chen Yu, I don't know what you're planning, but since you've decided, I can arrange a meeting with both of them. But whether or not you can convince ASUS and Acer will depend on your own ability. "
"Thank you."
The next day, with Wang Xuehong's introduction, the first person Chen Yu met with was the chairman of Asus, Shi Congtang.
Before meeting Chen Yu, Shi Congtang was also very interested in Chen Yu.
However, after Chen Yu met with Shi Congtang, Shi Congtang shook his head when they talked about the PC operating system.
"Sorry, Boss Chen, Asus has never considered this area."
"You can consider it now."
"I don't think so."
"Mr. Shi, I know you have a partnership with Microsoft, but do you think Microsoft can monopolize the market forever?"
"Philosophically, everything has a life and death, and so does a company. Microsoft will die one day. Microsoft can monopolize the world, and there will also be a day when it can't. But for now, I don't see any signs of that happening. Also, I don't think Huanyu Technologies can challenge Microsoft's position, although you've done well. "
"Not necessarily."
"Boss Chen, if this is the only thing you want to talk about, then I'm sorry, but there's no room for discussion. But if there are other areas of cooperation, I think we can talk about it in detail. Of course, I won't say a word to anyone about what you want to talk about. "
Unfortunately.
Chen Yu was rebuffed on the first day.
Although Chen Yu wanted to fight with Microsoft, it was obvious that Asus didn't want to.
However, Chen Yu wasn't discouraged.
If these traditional PC big shots followed his lead, then Microsoft's alliance would be too weak.
The next day, Chen Yu met with Shi Zhenrong, the founder of Acer.
Acer was the world's third largest laptop and computer manufacturer, and he played a key role in building the ecosystem.
Learning from Shi Congtang's experience, Chen Yu didn't directly talk about the PC operating system when he met with Shi Zhenrong.
Instead, he threw out Alipay and was ready to cooperate with Acer.
"Pay Tong. Is Boss Chen really willing to do that?"
Shi Zhenrong was also very interested in Chen Yu's arrival.
Especially Huanyu Technology's series of innovations in the electronics industry, these were all things that Acer did not have.
For example, launching a netbook for the PC market and then launching a gaming laptop. These were all genius creations.
It was because of this creativity that Huanyu Technologies, which didn't have much hardware experience, broke into the PC industry.
He had to admit that this was a miracle.
After all, when Acer first started, it started from a small workshop.
In just a few short years, Huanyu Technologies had achieved a market share that took them decades to achieve.
"There's nothing to be reluctant about. Pay Tong is a third-party payment tool. The more people use it, the better it is for us. If we only use it for ourselves and don't choose to open it to the public, sooner or later, our competitors will introduce a third-party payment tool similar to ours, which will be very disadvantageous for us. "
"Boss Chen really has a broad vision."
Shi Zhenrong said with admiration.
It was normal for young people to have courage, ideas, and innovation.
Young people who had such a long-term vision were not to be feared by ordinary young people.
Shi Zhenrong had seen many geniuses, and some of them were not worse than Chen Yu in terms of courage and innovation.
But they were far inferior to Chen Yu in terms of vision, breadth of mind, and temperament.
They felt that they could conquer the world by themselves.
Unfortunately.
The world was multifaceted and too complicated.
You can't do it by yourself.
"Mr. Shi, you flatter me. Compared to you, we are just juniors. We don't have much vision."
"Boss Chen is modest. However, Boss Chen gave us a big gift as soon as you came. I can't accept it without doing anything. "
Although Shi Zhenrong wanted to cooperate with Pay Tong, Shi Zhenrong had been in the business world for decades and naturally knew that it was definitely not that simple.
"It's not a big gift. The reason why I want to show my sincerity is that I want to cooperate with Acer to launch a new product."
"A new product, Boss Chen, I'm very interested in the new product you mentioned."
As he spoke, Shi Zhenrong said again, "Your netbooks and your game books are really amazing. Is there a new PC product this time? "
"Indeed, we plan to develop a PC product called All-in-One Computer."
"All-in-One Computer?"
Shi Zhenrong was a little confused. "What is an All-in-One Computer?"
"It's the motherboard, components, and screen integrated together. There is no need for a chassis, only a monitor is needed."
"This idea?"
Although Chen Yu said it simply, Shi Zhenrong had been in the computer business for decades. He already had the framework of this product in his mind.
This was equivalent to a computer without a mainframe.
However, it was not that he didn't have a mainframe. He just stored all the components in the mainframe into the monitor.
It looked like a laptop, but he wasn't a laptop.
He had a monitor like a traditional PC and could also have a keyboard, but he didn't need a mainframe.
Based on the monitor's packaging, they had a lot of space to store all kinds of components.
"Boss Chen, you're here to stir up the PC market again!"
Shi Zhenrong stared at Chen Yu and was really impressed.
First there was a netbook, then a game book, and now an All-in-One Computer.
Forget about three products, even if it was just one product, no one in the world would have thought of it.
But now, three innovative products appeared from Huanyu Technologies.
Even though it was just a simple idea, he managed to sell tens of millions of copies with such a simple idea.
Or you could say.
If you have a desktop, why would you want an All-in-One Computer without a chassis?
Obviously, an All-in-One Computer without a chassis would not perform better than a normal desktop.
But that wasn't important.
What was important was that many people couldn't even use 10% of a computer's performance.
That was why many people bought a netbook.
Even if the netbook's performance was bad, they didn't care because they satisfied the user's needs.
Although the All-in-One Computer's performance was not very high, it supported most of its functions.
It would definitely surpass the performance of a netbook.
Besides.
Because there was no mainframe and there was no need for amazing performance, the price of an All-in-One Computer was enough to tempt many consumers.
Plus, it was more convenient than a traditional PC desktop, wasn't it?
Although Shi Zhenrong was impressed, he said, "Boss Chen, you've already bought Shenzhou and you've done well in the OEM aspect. You can launch your own All-in-One Computer. There's no need to cooperate with Acer."
Although it was a cooperation, this cooperation gave Acer the opportunity to strike first.
Huanyu Technologies had already broken into the PC market with their first-mover advantage.
As a global PC company, Acer could directly sell to the global market if they had the first-mover advantage.
Such a big gift was no longer the concept of a Paypal cooperation.
"Director Shi, please don't laugh at us. Although we have our own OEM platform, our research and development capabilities are good, and our performance in the domestic market is not bad, we are much weaker in the global market."
"Understood."
Shi Zhenrong nodded.
If they cooperated with Acer, it would definitely be an opportunity for Huanyu Technologies to enter the global PC market.
"Director Shi, this is our design proposal. You can take a look at it."
"Thank you."
Actually, there was no need.
Chen Yu only said one thing and Shi Zhenrong already had an idea.
As long as he had an idea, Shi Zhenrong could turn it into a product.
Therefore, it didn't matter whether he looked at Chen Yu's design proposal or not.
However, when he saw Chen Yu's design proposal, Shi Zhenrong was a little surprised. "Boss Chen, this is the design?"
In Shi Zhenrong's mind, he thought that Chen Yu's design proposal was similar to his own.
The so-called all-in-one PC was nothing more than integrating various electronic components into the display.
In other words, the all-in-one PC they were going to build would look like a traditional PC monitor.
However, this was Chen Yu's design proposal. Even though Chen Yu's proposal was only a monitor.
However, to put it simply, Chen Yu's display design was simply too beautiful.
Not only was it beautiful, but it also had a strong sense of technology.
With just a glance, not to mention the performance and demand, even if it was just for the appearance, people would still have a strong desire to buy it.
"I admire you, Chief Chen. I really admire you."
Shi Zhenrong gave Chen Yu a thumbs up and said, "I finally understand. Huanyu Technologies really lives up to its name."
Just like this design proposal.
Product innovation was only one of the points. They had also implanted this innovative concept in various areas.
For example, exterior design innovation.
This design didn't only include the monitor's appearance, but also the keyboard's appearance.
Couldn't the computer be more beautiful?
Couldn't the all-in-one PC still be like the original PC monitor?
Couldn't they change it up?
Even though this seemed easy to understand, the longer one stayed in this industry, the more they would be entrenched in traditional PC thinking.
Just like in everyone's mind, a computer monitor should look like this.
A computer keyboard should look like this too.
A phone did need a keyboard.
A bowl had to be round.
You wouldn't even think of changing it.
With this in mind, Shi Zhenrong began to talk to Chen Yu about Huanyu Technologies' Pear series.
Didn't the Pear series take exterior design innovation to the extreme?
However, Chen Yu and Shi Zhenrong talked a lot. This was just a warm-up.
His real goal wasn't to cooperate with Alipay or the all-in-one PC.
"Mr. Shi, are you interested in this kind of cooperation?"
"Of course I'm interested. If I'm not interested, then Acer won't be able to keep up with the times."
"However, I have two conditions for cooperating with your company."
"Boss Chen, please speak."
"I want the Acer all-in-one PC to use our Huanyu operating system."
"This …"
Shi Zhenrong hesitated for a moment before he nodded, "Okay."
Previously, Acer had used the Huanyu operating system in the netbook business.
Even though Microsoft objected, the netbook market wasn't big. Acer could still withstand Microsoft's pressure.
As for using the Huanyu operating system in the all-in-one PC, it was understandable.
Even though the all-in-one PC market was huge, it was a niche market just like netbooks. It was impossible for it to sell better than a traditional PC.
However, even though it was a niche market, if Acer had a first-mover advantage, it would still be a huge profit.
Therefore, Shi Zhenrong didn't reject Chen Yu's proposal to use the Huanyu operating system.
Also, he felt that it was normal.
If not, why would Huanyu Technologies cooperate with you?
"What's the second condition?"
Since the first condition was fine, Shi Zhenrong asked about the second condition.
"The second condition is …"
Chen Yu looked at Shi Zhenrong and said, "I want more than 30% of Acer's traditional PC market to use the Huanyu operating system."
"What?"
At this time, Shi Zhenrong finally understood the real purpose of Chen Yu's visit today.
