Rebirth of Cyber ​​Hegemony

"Netbook?"

Wu Haijun blinked. It was the first time that he heard of a netbook.

"What does a netbook do?"

"It's very simple, it's a laptop for Internet use."

"What's the difference between that and a notebook?"

"Well... the difference is not very big, but the netbook mainly focuses on the Internet."

Speaking of which, netbooks are also notebooks.

However, netbooks are not as powerful as notebooks.

"I understand a little bit."

It's a computer after all. Although it was the first time I saw this netbook, but after thinking about it, Wu Haijun understood: "Your netbook can only be used to play games or something on the Internet, and there may be problems with other operations."

"right."

Chen Yu nodded, and then added: "It's not a problem. It's mainly about browsing the web and playing small games, but some large games can't be played because the performance can't keep up, but it's okay to use some office software."

"But why don't I buy a notebook?"

Wu Haijun asked again.

"Because we are cheap."

Chen Yu said: "The price of our netbook can be half or even one-third of that of an ordinary laptop."

"You make me think about it."

Wu Haijun feels that the concept of netbooks is relatively new.

However, he still has some confusion about whether this thing is popular or not in the market.

In theory, the performance of a netbook is naturally not as good as an ordinary notebook.

In the same way, the performance is not comparable, and the cost is definitely not higher than that of the notebook.

The cost is not high, and the final terminal price will be cheaper.

But cheap is one thing, and whether it can be sold is another.

Just like their Shenzhou computer.

Although their Shenzhou computers are cheap, their performance is not worse than others.

Not only are they not worse than others, but their performance is better than others.

This is the advantage of Shenzhou.

But now the main focus is on low-cost, low-performance netbooks, which seems to be the opposite of Shenzhou's strategy.

The most important thing is that he is afraid that no one will buy such a notebook.

"Chen Yu, do you think anyone will buy such a notebook?"

"Of course, if it were me, I would definitely buy it."

"why?"

"One is because it's cheap. Anyway, I use the computer to play Lianliankan on the Internet, and nothing else. Although such a netbook can't satisfy all users, it can satisfy some users."

"That's true."

"There is another. Our netbooks can be made smaller and lighter. Normal notebooks are generally about 2.5KG, and our netbooks can be less than 1.5KG, or even 1KG."

"1 kg?"

Wu Haijun stroked his chin.

He took a book and weighed it in his hand.

This book is about two catties.

If the weight of a netbook is about the same as a book, or a little heavier, this is absolutely fine.

"There is another, we can not use the windows operating system."

"If you don't use the windows operating system, what kind of system should you use, linux?"

"Yes, it's linux. If you just use the Internet to play small games, now there are many linux systems that are enough."

"The main reason is that the user is not used to the operation."

"Then find a Linux system that imitates windows."

In fact, many linux systems are imitating windows.

It's just that they didn't imitate completely, only partially.

But even if it is a partial imitation, in fact, for many users, they don't have too many unaccustomed operations.

Friends who have used the linux system may know that, at a glance, you can hardly find the difference between this and windows.

Besides, if it is only used by ordinary users, just go online to chat and play YY mini games, this will not have much impact.

Of course, this is why Chen Yu cooperates with Shenzhou.

His purpose is to launch his own Linux operating system.

Netbook is the best platform for installing Linux operating system.

In fact, in previous lives, many netbooks have already installed the linux operating system, and there is no problem in using them.

"Chen Yu, wait, let me think again."

If only cheap and portable before, Wu Haijun is only interested.

But now suddenly talking about not using windows, Wu Haijun feels that this is a big business.

Of course, this is not to say that Wu Haijun wants to make an operating system.

He doesn't have this idea for the time being.

But he has been working as a computer, but he knows that in fact, the price of the windows operating system is very expensive, generally in the hundreds.

Although many users now install pirated copies privately, they don't need money.

However, Shenzhou has many computers that require pre-installed windows operating system, such as cooperation with major companies, computers with government agencies, they all need to be pre-installed. Such pre-installation is naturally impossible for them to install pirated versions. If this is installed, Microsoft will find trouble with Shenzhou every minute.

The more genuine copies that can be installed, the greater their cost.

But at this time, if you don't use the windows operating system and change to linux, the cost will definitely be greatly reduced.

Even if there are some commercial linux, the price is far less than one-tenth of windows.

In terms of cost, it will save a lot of money.

"Mr. Wu, how is it?"

Seeing Wu Haijun's heart moved, Chen Yu asked with a smile.

"What do you say?"

"Don't hide it, in a word, do you not?"

"Dry."

With a dry sentence, Huanyu Technology has reached a cooperation with Shenzhou Computer.

However, after Chen Yu and Wu Haijun reached a cooperation, Chen Yu did not stop.

Chen Yu not only wants to abandon the Windows operating system, he also wants to abandon Intel's cpu.

In the field of PC computers, the strategic cooperation between Microsoft and Intel not only allows Microsoft's windows to dominate the world, but also allows Intel's cpu to dominate the world. The two clearly know that as long as the two parties are bound, they can get a steady stream of profits.

At first, Chen Yu's idea was to launch his own operating system.

But after thinking about the netbook, Chen Yu suddenly discovered that the other party's cpu Chen Yu could also break through the siege.

What Intel, what amd, before Chen Yu had no way to use their cpu.

But now, Chen Yu found an opportunity.

For example, there is a company called "VIA Electronics", which also produces their own pc chips.

If you want to talk about VIA Electronics, you have to talk about the history of VIA Electronics.

In 1987, Chen Wenqi founded VIA Electronics.

At that time, when Chen Wenqi, a former employee of Intel, founded VIA, he only made chipsets, that is, South Bridge and North Bridge chips. Later, by coincidence, in 1998, it acquired Cyrix, IDT... and other companies, which made VIA become a comprehensive Internet system integration component supplier ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ To put it simply, In other words, VIA has more business than Intel and AMD at this time.

Not only did they make their own chipsets, they also entered the CPU field, and they even made their own GPUs.

At its peak, VIA Electronics owns more than 50% of the global chip market.

However, in the face of the rise of VIA Electronics, Intel began to fight back.

They first sued VIA Electronics for infringing their patents. This lawsuit greatly hurt VIA's vitality. The lawsuit has not yet ended, and it is still being fought. It was not until 2013 in the previous life that the two parties reached an agreement.

Then Intel took another move to block it, announcing that as long as the motherboard manufacturers using Intel processors cannot use the VIA chipset, this forced VIA to make its own motherboards.

But this is more than that. What's more, in order to completely wipe out VIA, Intel directly built the Northbridge chipset into the cpu and no longer authorized it to third parties. So far, the VIA chipset business has completely collapsed.

However, this is also Chen Yu's opportunity.
