Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

Microsoft Bill's phone call was just a sideshow.

Although Chen Yu made things difficult for the boss, it was indeed a bit unflattering.

But in the business world, there is no atmosphere at all.

This year is a critical year for Huanyu Technology.

If Intel dual-core rises, he will be fooled.

Not to mention rejecting Bill, even if Chen Yu is allowed to be a real villain, Chen Yu is willing.

There is no other way.

The domestic foundation is too poor, and we are often limited by others.

Now I can still develop secretly and secretly.

If the two sides start a trade war in the future, Chen Yu will not be able to develop secretly.

Therefore, during this period of time, Chen Yu tried his best to plan for the company's future.

"Wang Chang, you are still in charge of Weibo for the time being, but you will have to find a professional manager in the future."

"Mr. Chen, I understand."

Wang Chang nodded.

Even though Weibo doesn’t look big, it’s only on the surface.

With the current development trend of Weibo, its influence is no worse than that of friends.com.

Wang Chang can be in charge of Weibo temporarily, but it is impossible to be in charge of Weibo for a long time.

Furthermore, Weibo is actually operated independently from Friends.com. Wang Chang is responsible for both Friends.net and Weibo. This is actually not good for Friends.com or Weibo.

The best way is to find a professional manager.

"By the way, I'm going to visit other companies in the next few days. Wang Chang, are there any big things happening on Weibo?"

"I was about to tell Mr. Chen that there are two big things about Weibo. One is that our competitors, Yahoo, Google, AOL... have also launched their Weibo. Including Microsoft, they The msn center has also launched a Weibo service."

"Well, it can be expected."

Chen Yu nodded: "Microsoft should not be afraid. Microsoft is a pure software company, and they do not have much Internet genes. We should focus on Yahoo and Google, but we have a first-mover advantage. At the same time, in China, we You can also learn from Wang Chang’s experience on the Internet.”

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

Wang Chang nodded.

Wang Chang is not particularly worried about this.

Although this is the United States, domestic Internet development experience may not be worse than that of the United States.

In addition, he has been running Friends.com for many years, so Weibo and Friends.com also have something in common.

They can make Friends.com number one in the world, not to mention Weibo.

You know, Friends.com did not have a first-mover advantage back then.

"Where's the other one?"

"The other thing is about the financing of our friend network."

"Financing."

Chen Yu did not expect that Friends.com would raise funds so soon.

But it’s normal to think about it.

Chen Yu’s Weibo in the United States is not like it is in China.

At home, just focus on the domestic market.

But in the United States, Chen Yu directly targeted the global direction.

And since it is registered in the United States, it is much more convenient to promote it globally.

Of course, such promotion also requires huge funds.

Even though Weibo is just a few web pages, the operating expenses, promotion expenses, server expenses... are all astronomical.

Think about it, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people send pictures, videos, and texts to your server every day. This is a terrifying volume.

"In this way, financing is necessary. However, we will delay them for a while and wait until I come back."

On the one hand, financing is needed to develop Weibo.

On the other hand, it was also the strategy Chen Yu had planned before.

He needs to use financing to bind a group of investment giants around the world.

In this way, these investment giants can protect themselves when encountering uncertainties in the future.

but.

With Friends.com and the launch of Huanyu Video, Chen Yu became more and more confident in financing.

Previously, friends.com and Huanyu Video were chased by a popular venture capital giant to invest in them.

This time, Chen Yu also had to make a gesture.

"Okay, let's wait until Mr. Chen comes back to talk about the financing."

Although Weibo is short of money, financing is not at this time.

After communicating with Wang Chang, Chen Yu prepared to visit several companies in the United States.

"Mr. Chen, where are you going?"

"Nvidia."

Huanyu Technology has many layouts, but they are not comprehensive.

Chen Yu only made arrangements in some key places, but there are still many more important places that he failed to take care of.

For example, gPu.

The so-called gPu is a graphics display chip. You can also think of it as a graphics card.

Among P products, there are three most important chips.

One is Pu, which is the so-called central processing unit.

The other is gPu, a graphics display chip, which determines the quality of images in electronic products.

The third one is the motherboard chipset.

At present, Huanyu Technology has only deployed Pu, but gPu and motherboard chipsets have not entered much.

At the most critical moment in the future, gPu and motherboard chipsets can sometimes become a fatal limitation.

The reason why Chen Yu wants to go to NVIDIA is that NVIDIA is the world's most famous graphics card chip manufacturer.

A more important reason is that the founder and EO of NVIDIA is named Huang Renxing.

Yes.

He is a Chinese-American.

You may be a little unfamiliar with NVIDIA, but you must have seen the female IDIa logo.

Female IDIa is the English name of NVIDIA.

At the same time, you can often see the female IDIa independent graphics card logo posted on many computers or notebooks.

Huang Renxing was very interested in Chen Yu's visit.

"Mr. Chen, I have long admired your name."

"Mr. Huang, you are too polite. You are my senior. This time I am here to learn from you."

"What are you studying? I have something worth learning for you. By the way, don't call me Mr. Huang. People who know me well call me Lao Huang, so just call me Lao Huang."

"Old Huang, haha, I heard your nickname before coming here."

Chen Yu nodded without being polite: "Then don't forget Mr. Chen. It makes me feel embarrassed to call you. Just call me by my name."

"Just right, Chen Yu, it's so refreshing to talk like this."

Huang Renxing clapped his hands: "Come, let me make you a cup of tea. Congratulations, your Huanyu Technology has won a big victory recently."

"Victory?"

"Why, isn't it? Your Weibo has blocked the promotion of Intel's dual-core processors, and also affected the market share of Microsoft Vista. Isn't this a victory?"

"This..."

Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "This can only be regarded as a small local victory at best, not a victory. Moreover, facing Intel and Microsoft, we have always been passively defensive."

"Intel and Microsoft are very powerful. When faced with them, any company in the world is about the same as you."

The IT circle looks big, but it is actually very small.

Everything that happens in this market is clearly visible to other companies.

But Chen Yu didn’t come to Nvidia today to discuss their battle with Intel.

The purpose of his coming today is to fool Mr. Huang.

"Old Huang, I heard that AMD contacted you not long ago?"

"Contact us?"

Lao Huang smiled and said: "We deal with AMD almost every day. I don't know what contact you are talking about?"

"About the acquisition."

"Acquisition?"

Lao Huang seemed a little surprised by this: "AMD's current main business is PU, and they have not entered the graphics card business."

"It is precisely because they have not entered the graphics card business that they have more demand for the graphics card business."

"Chen Yu, tell me your point of view."

"In fact, everyone knows the truth. The latest Intel dual-core incident will affect AMD's future layout. There is no doubt that in the PU field, no matter how hard AMD works and no matter how innovative their technology is, they can't compete with Intel. And , Intel has a graphics card business, and will even enter the independent graphics card business in the future. This will be a greater challenge for AMD."

"That makes sense."

Huang Renxing nodded, but after a while he shook his head and said: "But AMD has indeed not had any contact with us in this regard."

"strangeness."

Chen Yu pretended to be surprised: "But the news I got is that AMD has contacted aTI."

Of course amd has no contact with aTI. This is completely deceived by Chen Yu.

As for why Chen Yu dared to cheat like this.

Because after chatting with Lao Huang this time, he will go to aTI.

"aTI is willing to sell?"

"What do you think?"

"It's hard to say."

"Indeed. No one can say for sure about this kind of thing."

NVIDIA's biggest competitor is ATI, which also makes independent graphics cards.

Even before, aTI was the leader in the graphics card industry.

However, Nvidia has performed well in recent years, but it has somewhat stolen aTI's limelight.

"That's true."

Huang Renxing seemed surprised when he suddenly heard the news.

However, the news that Chen Yu suddenly told him made Huang Renxing a little suspicious.

"Chen Yu, where did you hear the news?"

"Where did I hear the news? It's a commercial secret, so I can't tell you, Old Huang."

Huang Renxing's suspicion was heard, but Chen Yu remained calm.

He was going to fool Huang Renxing today, so he was fully prepared.

Huang Renxing, who can become an industry leader, cannot be deceived by simply saying a few words.

Immediately, regarding Huang Renxing's suspicion, Chen Yu said calmly: "Old Huang, don't you think this is an opportunity?"

"Chance?"

Huang Renxing was a little surprised: "amD is acquiring us, not us acquiring amD. What kind of opportunity is this?"

Obviously, Nvidia's market value is far lower than amD.

If it really wants to acquire, it will be amD acquiring Nvidia, it is impossible for Nvidia to acquire amD.

However, Chen Yu changed the topic and said, "Mr. Sanders is already over 60 years old."

Huang Renxing understood this instantly.

He suddenly understood what Chen Yu meant.

In fact, Huang Renxing really doesn't have much interest in amD's acquisition.

He was used to being the boss, how could he want to be subordinate to others.

The reason why Chen Yu was very interested in chatting with him was because he wanted to find out about the future direction of the industry.

However, when Chen Yu said that Mr. Sanders was over 60, he suddenly understood what Chen Yu meant.

If NVIDIA is acquired by amD, but they do eo, that's another thing.

certainly.

This is impossible for some other companies.

But in the case of amD, there is really a glimmer of feasibility.
