"Uh …"
The two ministers were stunned by the sudden cry.
Of course, Mayor Lu was among them.
This shouldn't be happening.
Wasn't it supposed to be something else?
"Well, Chen Yu, let's talk nicely. Why are you crying?"
"That's right, Chen Yu. Since we're here today, just tell us what you have to say."
The two ministers were old, but they looked at Chen Yu as if he was their grandson.
Although they didn't understand why the chairman of Huanyu Technologies suddenly cried, they felt a little distressed seeing such a young guy crying in front of them. It seemed that Huanyu Technologies was really in trouble. Otherwise, Chen Yu wouldn't be like this.
"Dear Ministers, you might not know this, but Huanyu Technology is operating normally right now and there's nothing wrong with it. But in fact, we've been clenching our teeth and persevering. Microsoft's ban on us directly cut off our cash flow. We're afraid that if this situation continues, we might not be able to hold on for three months. "
Chen Yu wiped his tears and said with red eyes.
"Chen Yu, why is the situation so bad?"
Minister Yang obviously didn't expect this.
Previously, he saw Huanyu Technologies calmly dealing with the situation. He thought that Huanyu Technologies had blocked Microsoft's attack.
But looking at Chen Yu, it seemed that Huanyu Technologies could collapse at any time.
"I don't want it to be like this, but this is the reality. Microsoft relied on their Windows operating system to ban more than 90% of our games from operating on Windows. Normally, this would be fine, but the problem is that we don't only have the Internet business now. In order for our countrymen to have an operating system, we created an operating system business. In order for our countrymen to have their own China core, we created our own chip. In order for us not to be choked by Samsung and other companies on the electronic display screen, we invested a huge sum of money into the chip business. Even for the OEM business, we got an industrial park in Shencheng's Longhua District. These businesses looked big, but they weren't making much money until now. Not only is it not profitable, but we also have to invest money in it every day. "
"This ban by Microsoft will only affect our online games business. This series of impacts may affect our operating system business, chip business, electronic display business, OEM business, photolithography business, etc."
"In addition, we've also borrowed tens of billions of yuan from several North American companies. Although I'm a major shareholder of these North American companies, some other investors are also eyeing us covetously. They've always had issues with my left hand over my right hand. If Huanyu Technologies was operating normally and maintained a steady growth rate, this might not be a problem. However, once Huanyu Technologies is suppressed, the tens of billions of RMB in debt may drag us down to our death. "
Chen Yu was crying as he talked about the series of crises that Huanyu Technologies faced.
"Chen Yu, I didn't expect Huanyu Technologies to be so big."
Although the two ministers had studied Huanyu Technologies before coming here, they were still a little shocked when they heard Chen Yu, the founder, say it.
It seemed that Huanyu Technologies was not the most powerful technology company in China, but in fact, they were.
It was just that they had been developing in a relatively low-key manner and had always positioned themselves as an internet company.
But now, with so many businesses, any one of them would be at the national level even if they were placed in the hands of the higher-ups.
"Minister Yang, Minister Li, Chen Yu is right. Some of the businesses that Huanyu Technologies is developing in secret are too important. If there are problems, it will be more difficult for us to invest in them in the future."
Mayor Lu on the side also explained.
"Chen Yu, can you tell me more about the operating system, chip, and photolithography business?"
Minister Yang thought for a while and said.
"Of course."
Nodding, Chen Yu said, "Ministers, Huanyu Technology's involvement in the operating system business, including the chip business, isn't just for the sake of creating our own operating system. It's also not for the sake of owning a Chinese core. Although it is necessary, it is not necessary if it is only to satisfy our superficial vanity. The reason why we want to make our own operating system and chip is entirely for the sake of our people's Internet, our people's computers, and our people's electronic information security. "
"That is one of the reasons."
"Secondly, electronic technology is the most important part of the development direction of the 21st century. Europe and the United States have an important advantage in this area. Even if we don't consider our information security, we have to consider the huge economic value it produces. For example, chips. The current factory price of an ordinary Intel chip is about 300 RMB, and the high-end chip is more than 600 RMB. Last year, we sold 20 million computers. In terms of chips alone, this is 6 to 12 billion RMB. This is only in 2004. This year, our country's computer sales are close to 30 million, and it will reach 9 to 18 billion RMB. In the next 10 years, I estimate that our market share will be 10 times higher, which is 9 to 180 billion RMB. "
"The above is only talking about the computer market. In the future, the scale of the mobile phone market will definitely exceed the computer market. In the future, everyone will have a mobile phone, and the economy it will create may even exceed the amount of oil we import in a year. Are we really willing to give so much money to others?
However, although this is true, it is also a huge opportunity for our people. With such a large population, we will definitely become the world's largest consumer country in the future. But if we rely on imports for all our consumption, our chips, our screens, and our series of electronic products are all supplied to us by Europe and the United States, we will not only lose the economic war, we will also lose our high technology … "
The two ministers listened very seriously.
With Chen Yu, a professional, and especially someone who was on the frontline, explaining to them, the two ministers had a deeper understanding of chips, the Internet, and the operating system. In particular, they previously thought that their country wanted to make chips and operating systems only for the sake of information security. However, Chen Yu's explanation overturned their previous understanding.
It turned out that this was not only for the sake of information security, but also for the sake of improving the economy and mastering more advanced technology.
If they could seize the opportunity, they could even lead the world.
"Chen Yu, you're saying that if Huanyu Technologies doesn't get through this difficult time, you might not be able to hold on?"
"Something like that."
Although this was a little exaggerated, it was actually close to the truth. "Ministers, if we don't get through this difficult time, Huanyu Technologies might just be an Internet company in the future. At most, we can make some money from the business side. However, we will not be of any help to the country, to the people, to our technology, and to our electronic information industry. "
"Then what about your chip business, photolithography machine business, and operating system business?"
"We can only give up on all of them."
"That won't do."
The two ministers shook their heads. "No matter what method we use, we must persevere on these businesses."
"But we really can't persevere."
As he spoke, a few more tears fell from Chen Yu's eyes. "Ministers, you know how disgusting Microsoft's monopoly is. They only need one order and all of our businesses will be finished. Today, they can ban our online games. Tomorrow, they can ban our instant messaging. The day after tomorrow, they can ban our e-commerce. They want to completely destroy Huanyu Technologies. "
"If they dare to do this, we will definitely not stand by and do nothing."
Minister Yang said sternly.
"Minister Yang, I know that the higher-ups have always been concerned about Huanyu Technologies. However, it's fine if Huanyu Technologies collapses. It's just a company. Anyway, I'm just an ordinary person. At most, I can just leave. However, if Huanyu Technologies collapses, the future of our electronic technology is over … "
"Chen Yu, don't cry, don't cry."
Seeing that Chen Yu was about to cry again, the two ministers couldn't bear it and hurriedly stopped him.
However, they sighed in their hearts. How did this guy train his tears? He cried as soon as he was mentioned. He was like a movie king.
"Ministers, I'm just sad. It's okay, let me cry for a while."
"Chen Yu, tell us, are you facing any difficulties right now? The two of us will also express our stance in front of you today. As long as we can support you, we will definitely support you."
"Ministers, is that true?"
"Why would we lie to you?"
"That's great."
Chen Yu was overjoyed. He wiped away a few drops of tears and said excitedly, "Ministers, we have a lot of difficulties. First of all, the problem of the operating system ecosystem. You know, our operating system needs the support of the ecosystem. Without the ecosystem, it doesn't matter how good our operating system is. It's fine if some foreign companies don't support us, but the Chinese companies don't follow suit. This really makes us disappointed. Let's talk about Lenovo … "
Okay.
After NetEase, Chen Yu pointed his sword at Lenovo.
Chen Yu naturally knew that it was useless to talk to Lenovo.
However, if the higher-ups were to talk to Lenovo, it would be another matter.
"Also, in terms of market share, because we just entered the market, our market share is not high. However, this is only temporary. If the higher-ups and other places support us in purchasing, I believe we can compete with Microsoft for a few more rounds. "
"Also …"
This was what it meant to be thick-skinned.
For some companies, even if Chen Yu was thick-skinned, it would be useless.
However, for the higher-ups, he had to be as thick-skinned as possible.
With the two Division Heads expressing their stance, Chen Yu pulled out a small notebook and listed out the details one by one.
"Chen Yu, you even brought a notebook?"
"Mayor Lu, I'm not afraid of forgetting some important information."
"But you've said too much."
"Didn't you tell me to seize the opportunity?"
"I …"
Mayor Lu wanted to strangle himself.
Previously, he thought that Chen Yu was a nationalistic youth who did not want to accept benefits from the higher-ups.
He did not expect that this guy was not a nationalistic youth, he was a shrewd person.
