"Boss Chen, your real purpose for coming to Tai City this time is not Alipay or all-in-one computers, but your Huanyu system."
After going one round, he didn't expect Chen Yu to be here for this.
But it seemed to be the case.
Whether it was Alipay or all-in-one computers, why should he share it with Acer?
Why couldn't Huanyu Technologies play by itself?
Alipay did need to be opened up, and at the same time, Huanyu Technologies needed to enter the global market.
But the advantage of technological products was the real core strength, and he would not share it with others.
In fact, Huanyu Technologies also relied on this advantage to enter the hardware market.
Mobile phones, Pear MP3 series, and now the all-in-one computers.
"Mr. Shi, Alipay and all-in-one computers do need cooperation. Of course, we also want to cooperate with your company to promote our Huanyu system."
"Boss Chen, are you very ambitious?"
"I think everyone has ambition."
"We're different. We're only in the PC industry."
"Mr. Shi, you only do PC because you already have a strong advantage in this area, but what if there are more opportunities in other areas?"
"Do you think you can challenge Microsoft?"
"Yes."
Chen Yu nodded firmly.
"Boss Chen, it's good to be ambitious, but I believe you know Microsoft's strength."
"I know. Shi Congtang from Asus told me the same thing."
"You contacted Shi Congtang before?"
"Yes, but unfortunately, Shi Congtang rejected."
"Shi Congtang rejected. Boss Chen, do you think I won't reject?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Chen Yu shook his head. "Don't you think this is an opportunity?"
"Microsoft is not that easy to challenge."
"I know, but Microsoft will always be invincible if we don't challenge them."
Chen Yu continued, "Mr. Shi, you must have heard a phrase in the past, 'when did the Chinese have their own operating system?'"
Every time this phrase was heard, it was full of regret.
"But perhaps this sentence should be changed. When will the Chinese be able to create a system comparable to Microsoft Windows?"
From when he had his own system to when he could create a system that was comparable to Windows.
This wasn't just a difference of one sentence.
Shi Zhenrong could not help but exclaim, "Boss Chen, Huanyu Technologies is truly amazing. Although your Huanyu operating system is still not as good as Windows, I have to say that you have opened the door for the Chinese operating system. Also, your Huanyu system is pretty good. But no matter how good it is, it's only a niche system. It's impossible for everyone in the world to use it. "
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. The most difficult thing in the world is to start from nothing. We have never been able to create a system. Can't we create an operating system that is comparable to Windows? "
"Very difficult."
"I know it's hard. Furthermore, I don't think that Huanyu Technologies alone can achieve this. That's why I came to Tai City. "
"Even if you join Acer, you won't be able to challenge Microsoft's position."
"But what if Asus, HP, Dell, Samsung … and other global PC companies join us?"
"That's impossible."
"Nothing is impossible. Microsoft's Windows did not receive the support of so many PC manufacturers."
The two of them exchanged questions and answers.
Shi Zhenrong knew what Chen Yu said better than Chen Yu.
However, when it came from Chen Yu, especially in such an environment, Shi Zhenrong was momentarily moved by Chen Yu's words.
This was an opportunity, wasn't it?
If they succeeded.
Then Acer could become the world's number one PC giant.
Not only that.
They could also use this opportunity to develop more diversified businesses.
But he had been in the PC industry for decades and knew the strength of Microsoft.
Chen Yu's ambition was respectable, but it was not something he could achieve.
"Mr. Shi …"
Seeing that Shi Zhenrong was hesitating, Chen Yu was happy.
He was right to go around in circles.
Otherwise, the other party would not agree if he directly talked about the operating system. Even if he talked about a series of benefits later, the other party would not agree.
Because they did not even think about it.
But if he gave them the mobile payment and all-in-one PC business first before talking about the operating system, the outcome would be different.
Although Shi Zhenrong might not agree, at least he would have time to hesitate.
He would consider whether this place was worth it, whether Huanyu Technology had the ability to do so, and whether there would be any benefits for him if they entered.
Chen Yu continued, "Mr. Shi, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course."
"What do you think of the future PC market?"
"It's getting bigger, especially with the awakening of the Chinese market. In the future, there will be huge markets like Africa and South Asia."
"Compared to the mobile phone?"
"Of course it's bigger than the mobile phone market."
"Are you sure?"
Chen Yu asked, "Do you really think the future PC market is bigger than the mobile phone market?"
"Isn't it?"
"Although it seems so now, it might not be so in the future. Also, in terms of necessity, Mr. Shi, don't you think mobile phones are more important than computers? I don't need a computer, but I don't have a mobile phone. "
"But mobile phones are too cheap."
"Our Pear mobile phones are not cheap."
"Not everyone will buy a Pear mobile phone."
"Actually, there's no need to discuss this. Even if not everyone will buy a Pear mobile phone, in the future, if everyone in our country can afford a 2,000 yuan mobile phone, the mobile phone market will be able to beat the PC market."
Shi Zhenrong's heart skipped a beat.
It was not that he had not studied the mobile phone market.
In fact, he could also foresee that the future mobile phone market would become bigger and bigger.
However, Acer was in the PC business, and they did well in the PC business. They did not have to be jealous of the mobile phone market.
But Shi Zhenrong knew that the mobile phone Chen Yu was talking about was not only the mobile phone.
The mobile phone Chen Yu was talking about was the operating system.
The logic was simple.
The bigger the market, the greater the influence.
Acer, Dell, Microsoft, IBM, and Intel were so famous because the PC market was big enough.
But if the mobile phone market surpassed the PC market in the future …
There was no doubt that the mobile phone market would surpass the PC market in the future.
Once the mobile phone market surpassed the PC market, even Microsoft, which used to monopolize the PC operating system, would decline.
This was just like how Motorola fell behind Nokia.
Motorola, which invented the mobile phone, was overtaken by Nokia just by changing the communication network.
"Boss Chen, what do you mean?"
"What I want to say is that Microsoft is indeed very strong, but it's not like we can't challenge them. Also, we've already torn a hole … "
