"Uncle Wenqi, Auntie Xue Hong, I'm going back to China."
"How did it go?"
"I don't know."
Chen Yu shook his head, "ASUS rejected me, Acer didn't reject or agree."
"This should be good news."
Wang Xue Hong smiled, "Shi Zhenrong didn't reject, which means he's already considering it. You're amazing, I thought you wouldn't get anything out of this trip. I didn't expect you to fool Shi Zhenrong. "
"Amazing? You don't know. When I talked to the ASUS CEO that day, he didn't want to talk to me when I said I wanted to do an operating system."
"That's normal. You can tell Wenqi not to do the x86 chip architecture, he probably won't talk to you either."
Although VIA chips were their own chips, their architecture was still x86. They were still Intel's.
Although they had the authorization.
In this aspect, VIA was still controlled by Intel.
It was just like Huawei chips in his previous life. Although Huawei chips were awesome, their architecture was still ARM.
Similarly, in the PC field, Acer was also controlled by Microsoft.
But luckily, as a PC manufacturer, they had more say than a chip manufacturer. On the surface, Microsoft's influence on them wasn't as fatal.
Otherwise, Shi Zhenrong wouldn't even consider it. He would be like ASUS, not willing to talk.
However, Chen Yu could understand why ASUS didn't want to talk.
Other than the PC business, ASUS also had the motherboard business.
Their motherboard business was heavily influenced by Intel, just like how VIA was influenced by Intel.
Intel and Microsoft were allies within allies.
The two were inseparable.
Intel couldn't do without Microsoft, and Microsoft couldn't do without Intel.
ASUS was more cautious about Microsoft because of Intel.
"Anyway, thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Wenqi and Auntie Xue Hong. I'll go back to China first."
"Okay, go back and wait for the good news."
"Haha, I hope so too."
After separating from Chen Wenqi and Wang Xuehong, Chen Yu returned to Shencheng.
"Chen Yu, how is it? Is there any news from the two families in Tai City?"
"There's nothing to discuss with ASUS. Acer is still waiting for news from them."
"I don't think so, but I didn't expect Acer to consider it."
Like Wang Xuehong, Wu Haijun was also surprised when he heard that Acer was considering it.
In his opinion, such an operating system task should be rejected directly.
As for the reason, it was too simple.
Even though Chen Yu had asked all the computers on the Shenzhou Ship to install the Huanyu system, Wu Haijun was still unwilling to do so.
This wasn't because Wu Haijun couldn't change his identity. In fact, changing the traditional PC system would be a fatal blow to the entire PC sales.
When the time came, consumers would vote with their feet.
It was just like when people bought a computer and chose a CPU.
Without a doubt, everyone's first choice was Intel.
If you discovered that the computer used an AMD processor, unless you knew a lot about computers or just wanted to play games, you would probably choose AMD. Otherwise, you would definitely buy an Intel processor when you bought a computer.
Chen Yu understood this point.
This was also the reason why Chen Yu didn't approach Lenovo.
Although Lenovo was a Chinese company, it was on the same side as Huanyu Technologies.
However, if Chen Yu proposed such a collaboration, Lenovo would reject it.
They couldn't disregard their own business for the sake of Huanyu Technologies.
"Let's ignore him for now. We're going to take action."
"Chen Yu, you want to talk to Lenovo?"
"Lenovo won't be able to negotiate for now."
Even if Chen Yu didn't have any grudges with Lenovo, Chen Yu wouldn't be able to negotiate with them.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Find a chance to talk to Pepsi and Heil?"
"Pepsi and Heil … That's possible."
Pepsi and Heil were also one of the domestic computer brands.
However, their market was relatively small.
They didn't have much influence on the overall market share.
"I'm familiar with them. I'll talk to them."
Wu Haijun suggested.
"Okay. But Old Wu, you're not going to talk about a collaboration, but an acquisition."
"An acquisition?"
Wu Haijun was taken aback.
"Yes. Pepsi and Heil have a computer business, but they don't have a lot of shares and haven't been making much money. They also want to sell their computer business. It shouldn't be a problem if we go and buy them. "
"But we might not be able to operate these brands successfully."
Wu Haijun knew the PC industry very well.
Although these were all computer brands, these companies didn't really focus on computers.
Heil didn't need to be mentioned. They made washing machines and refrigerators.
As for why they were in the PC business, it was because Heil wanted to enter all of its electronic products.
It didn't matter if they didn't do well.
As for Pepsi, she used to be an agent and didn't really focus on computers.
Both companies were interested in selling their computer business, but not many companies were interested.
"We don't want these two brands to succeed either."
"Damn, Chen Yu, you're not just thinking about operating systems, are you?"
"Of course."
Chen Yu nodded and said, "I have to do the operating system business. It's hard for us to do it alone. Heil and Pepsi don't have a big market, but if we install the Huanyu operating system, we can more or less change the situation where Microsoft dominates the market. "
This was actually like advertising.
It didn't matter if Pepsi and Heil's sales were mediocre or even terrible.
What Chen Yu cared about was the operating system.
Once users slowly accepted the Huanyu operating system, it would set a precedent for other PC manufacturers.
"Tsk, tsk. Chen Yu, you're getting bigger and bigger. You bought two computer brands just for the operating system. No, damn it. You even bought our Divine Boat. "
At this point, Wu Haijun finally understood.
Chen Yu didn't just want Wu Haijun to take over Shenzhou's computer business.
More importantly, Chen Yu had bought the Shenzhou for the sake of their operating system business.
Once the conditions were right, Shenzhou would join the Huanyu operating system. This would have a huge impact on the market.
…
"Brother, you've been with Asus for 10 years."
"Brother, it's 11 years, including this year."
"Yes, 11 years. When you left Acer and joined Asus, I couldn't figure it out. I didn't expect that after you joined Asus, you would do better than Acer. "
"Brother, my heart still belongs to Acer."
The two people who spoke were Shi Zhenrong and Shi Congtang.
Both of them were founders of Acer.
However, in 1994, Shi Congtang left Acer and joined Asus.
In the blink of an eye, eleven years had passed.
"Brother, it's all in the past. I've forgotten about what happened back then. Actually, I admire you very much. Especially when Asus fought with Intel. You stole Intel's motherboard business and became the world's number one. I admire you for that. "
"Brother, you're my role model. I've always been learning from you."
"What's there to learn? If I had your courage, I wouldn't have been in the PC industry all this time."
"Brother, you …?"
Shi Congtang felt that Shi Zhenrong was implying something.
"Congtang, I heard that Chen Yu from Huancong Technology met with you?"
"Uh …"
Shi Congtang hesitated for a while but still nodded. "We did meet."
"What did you talk about?"
"About their Huancong business."
"Hehe, you're dishonest. Didn't he tell you about the operating system?"
Shi Zhenrong smiled and pointed at Shi Congtang.
Shi Congtang was a little surprised. He had promised Chen Yu. He had never asked for this business from anyone.
However, when he saw Shi Zhenrong's expression, he understood. "Brother, Chen Yu also came to see you?"
"When he came to Tai City, the first thing he looked for was you, then me."
"Chen Yu really doesn't give up."
Shi Congtang shook his head helplessly. "I didn't negotiate with him. I rejected him directly. Brother, what about you? "
"Me? I'm still thinking about it."
"No way."
Shi Congtang was in disbelief.
