"Brother, don't tell me you were fooled by Chen Yu?"
"Dupe? Indeed, some of them were duped by him."
"Then why?"
"Don't you think this is an opportunity?"
Shi Zhenrong said, "Microsoft can't monopolize the market forever, and we can't be bound to them forever."
"But the problem is that Microsoft is monopolizing the market now. If things go wrong, Acer's PC business will be greatly affected."
"That's what I'm worried about. Otherwise, I would've agreed."
"It's too risky. Brother, this isn't your style."
Shi Congtang still shook his head, "It's best to maintain the current cooperation with Microsoft."
"Congtang, do you know that when you left Acer, I kept asking you if I did anything wrong?"
"Brother, why are you talking about the past again? Isn't it in the past?"
"It's in the past. Of course, I'm not always thinking about it. I'm just thinking that if I listened to your opinions, you might not have joined ASUS. "
Shi Congtang was more open, while Shi Zhenrong was more conservative.
At that time, Shi Congtang thought that Acer could use its PC market to enter the motherboard business.
But Shi Zhenrong thought that this business would offend Intel, so he did not enter.
In a fit of anger, Shi Congtang left Acer and joined ASUS.
After joining ASUS, ASUS defeated Intel in the motherboard business and became the world's number one.
"Haha, Congtang, speaking of which, you're the most courageous one among us."
Shi Zhenrong smiled and said, "Logically speaking, when Chen Yu came to you, you should've considered it."
"Probably because I'm old."
Shi Congtang was stunned.
He couldn't help but think of the past.
Although no one thought that they could compete with Intel, he relied on his incomparable belief to defeat the powerful Intel.
But as time passed, Shi Congtang's courage gradually faded.
But the dramatic thing was that the conservative Shi Zhenrong gradually became more open.
"Yeah, I'm old."
Shi Zhenrong also sighed, "We're all old."
Shi Zhenrong changed the topic and said, "But because we're old, we don't have many opportunities left."
"Brother, have you thought it through?"
"Although I haven't thought it through completely, I think I'll agree to Chen Yu's request."
"…"
Looking at Shi Zhenrong's expression, Shi Congtang knew that Shi Zhenrong had made up his mind.
"Chen Yu is really amazing."
Shi Congtang said in his heart.
He did not expect Chen Yu could persuade Shi's.
But he still wanted to know why..
"Brother, may I ask, why did you agree?"
This was definitely not because he he......
It wasn't like he was on steroids.
......
...........
............
Other than wanting to give Acer a chance, the main reason why he wanted to fight was because of Huanyu Technology.
"Brother, do you know anything about Huanyu Technologies?"
"I don't know how to say it. Although I think this is a technology company with a lot of potential, there's still a big gap between them and Microsoft."
"There's a big gap, but their ability to make money is not bad."
"The internet can't be counted. Everyone knows that there are too many bubbles in the internet."
Shi Congtang was referring to the overvaluation of Wechat and Huanyu Video. He was not worth the price.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about Huanyu Technologies' PC business. They didn't have a PC business back then, but they invented netbooks. "
"Netbooks are not an invention. They're just laptops."
"Although it's not an invention, he avoided the competition with us and broke into the PC field."
"But the market is not big."
"It's not big, but they invented gaming laptops."
"Gaming laptops can only be considered high-end laptops."
"In theory, that's the case. But this gave them a lot of market share."
"Actually, their market share is not high."
"What if they invent a new PC product?"
"Invent a new PC product?"
Shi Congtang's eyes widened. "What other innovations are there in PC products?"
"Chen Yu talked to me about this last time. As for what the product is, I can only keep it a secret from you for now. You'll know when our new product comes out. "
Shi Congtang started to think about it.
In his heart, he admired Huanyu Technologies' innovation ability.
Although he said that Huanyu Technologies' PC product was just a different concept, it was actually a laptop.
But even if it was just a different concept, its market share was enough to make a PC company a lot of money.
He did not expect Huanyu Technologies to come up with a new product after netbooks and gaming laptops.
Although he did not know what this new product was for now.
But looking at Shi Zhenrong's expression, he believed that this new product's market share would not be lower than netbooks and gaming laptops.
It might even be higher.
If that was the case, then Acer was willing to take the risk.
But this was not the key point.
Shi Congtang also knew that Shi Zhenrong was not talking about this.
The meaning was obvious.
Huanyu Technologies could come up with a series of innovative products one after another.
Maybe after a while, they would come up with a new product.
When these innovations continued to appear, they might be able to surpass the traditional PC market share.
In the future, there might even be a product that would replace the PC or surpass the PC product …
Was there a possibility of this happening?
Of course, this was not possible before it appeared.
But once it appeared …
That was the change in the entire industry.
…
"Chen Yu, it's Shi Zhenrong."
After returning to Shencheng for a few days, there was no news from Acer. Chen Yu sighed to himself. Maybe there was no chance.
Unexpectedly, Shi Zhenrong called Chen Yu at noon.
"Mr. Shi, have you thought it through?"
"Boss Chen, how do you know that I've thought it through and didn't reject you?"
"If you rejected me, you wouldn't have called me personally. That's too cruel."
"Hahaha, Chen Yu, you're very interesting."
Shi Zhenrong said, "Yes, I've thought it through."
"That's great, Mr. Shi. I knew you would make the right choice."
"I don't know if it's the best choice for now, but I'm also very uneasy now."
"Mr. Shi, don't worry. Although Microsoft is very strong, as I said before, Microsoft is not invincible."
"Thank you for your words. But I can't agree to all the conditions you mentioned before. "
"Mr. Shi, please tell me."
"30% of the market share with Huanyu is not possible. This is too big. We can't afford the consequences."
"Mr. Shi, what do you mean?"
"Five points."
"Okay."
Chen Yu did not bargain at all and directly agreed.
In fact, the 30% share he mentioned previously was just an infinitely higher price.
Even Shenzhou, which Chen Yu had bought, did not dare to do so, let alone Acer.
Although a drop from 30% to 5% of the market share was a little too much.
Even 5% of the market share was too small.
But for Acer's size, 5% of the market share was not small.
However, the most important thing was …
In fact, whether it was 5% of the market share or any other percentage.
Even if it was only 1% of the market share, Chen Yu would agree.
As long as Acer had a traditional PC in the market with Huanyu, it would be enough.
Chen Yu knew how powerful Microsoft was.
It was impossible to destroy him in one fell swoop.
But if Acer entered the market, it would be a beacon.
Even if it was only 1 PC, it would have a far-reaching impact on the current PC industry.
