Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Mr. Zhang, our market share has been taken back by Huanyu Technology again."

"Mr. Zhang, can chip foundry costs be reduced by another 20%?"

"boss Zhang……"

PayTong is naturally a card that Zhang Zhongmou did not expect.

Although he had been paying attention to Huanyu Technology, he really didn't expect that Huanyu Technology would play such a card.

PayTong is owned by Huanyu Technology.

He will cooperate with whomever he wants to cooperate with.

Of course, generally speaking, for such a heavyweight business, he can be regarded as Huanyu Technology's secret weapon.

The reason why we cooperate with some domestic electronics manufacturers is that many domestic electronics manufacturers use Huanyu Technology's chips and systems.

As for foreign electronics companies, sorry, Chen Yu is really not that generous.

In fact, even if Zhang Zhongmou doesn't pay attention, he may not be able to predict what kind of cards Huanyu Technology will play.

TSMC is a chip foundry company and a traditional semiconductor company.

Although their technology is powerful, it is completely different from Internet companies.

Internet technology is not about pure hardware technology. The Internet is about innovation of concepts and ideas.

The further you go, the less the Internet looks like the Internet, and instead becomes the same as real life.

No matter how strategic Zhang Zhongmou is, if he doesn't understand this brand-new thing, he will never be able to understand it in his lifetime.

However, it’s not just Huanyu Technology’s payment channel that makes Zhang Zhongmou depressed.

What makes Zhang Zhongmou even more depressed is the pressure exerted on him by a series of customers at this time.

For example, Infineon has put forward a request to reduce OEM costs by another 20%.

The reason for making this request is that Huanyu Technology has seized their market.

For Zhang Zhongmou, he felt like he was being bullied right now.

Not only did he voluntarily sacrifice his own interests before, but now he is attached to these chip companies.

Obviously these chip companies cannot compete with Huanyu Technology in the market. What does it have to do with TSMC?

When it comes to foundry costs, TSMC’s foundry costs are already very low.

Such OEM costs are equivalent to 80% of Central International's.

Of course, some chip design companies also know the truth.

But isn’t this wave of trouble caused by TSMC, Intel, and Samsung after they joined forces?

otherwise……

Although Huanyu Technology's market share is not bad, some of the world's top companies are also doing well in the Chinese market.

it's good now.

The three companies joined forces to put pressure on Huanyu Technology, forcing Huanyu Technology to use a unique trick.

It can be said.

The initiator of everything is TSMC.

At this time, who else to ask if not TSMC?

"Everyone, what you should pay attention to is Huanyu installment, not the OEM fee."

"Huanyu Installment uses their payment channel, but their payment channel does not cooperate with us."

"Even if this is the case, if our foundry fees are reduced again, you may not be able to compete with Huanyu Technology in the market."

"That's not necessarily true. Let's lower it first."

"If you are still like this, then you can choose Central International to do the manufacturing for you."

"Mr. Zhang, are you sure?"

"If you threaten us, TSMC, like this, there is nothing we can do..."

The two parties started fighting in an instant.

certainly.

Their alliance is pretty good. Although both sides are angry, the cooperation is unlikely to break down.

TSMC needs the business of these chip design manufacturers.

Similarly, these chip design manufacturers also need TSMC's lower foundry costs.

No one will benefit from leaving the two.

It is impossible for these chip design manufacturers to give their business to Central International.

After all, Central International's production is limited, its foundry technology is average, and its third-party foundry costs are obviously higher than those of TSMC.

Noisy, noisy, and those who should continue to cooperate must continue to cooperate.

However, although the cooperation between the two parties still continues, the cooperation between the two parties is no longer unbreakable.

If there is a choice in the future, maybe the two parties will break up.

Chen Yu didn't know about this.

How could he have such a great god to know their internal relationship.

However, the advance consumption of Huanyu Installment is really amazing in stimulating consumers’ purchasing power.

While Huanyu Technology is cooperating with a series of domestic electronics manufacturers, Chen Yu has also turned his attention to a number of other brands.

Samsung, Sony, Nokia, Siemens... these foreign brands, Chen Yu is too lazy to deal with them.

But Taiwanese brands like ASUS, Acer... are still very promising.

Taiwanese brands are naturally Chinese brands, but as everyone knows, Taiwanese brands have little to do with domestic brands.

However, although there is not much relationship, Taiwan is very advanced in semiconductors and IT.

The semiconductor sector is represented by TSMC.

Computer PCs are represented by Asus and Acer.

These brands not only have an amazing global market share, but also have a large domestic market share.

"Old Wu, do you think it's possible for Asus and Acer to use our Universal system?"

Chen Yu called Wu Haijun to the office and expressed his thoughts.

He felt that it was time to use Microsoft Windows.

"I'll go, Chen Yu, your idea is too bold."

Although Wu Haijun joined Huanyu Technology, the two were used to calling each other before. Wu Haijun still called Chen Yu directly by his name when there was no one else around.

"fine."

Chen Yu didn't think anything of it: "Old Wu, you also know that it is difficult to establish our ecosystem based on our market alone."

The entire market is very large.

Although Huanyu Technology's products are very popular, no matter how popular they are, they only occupy a few points of market share.

Some other markets are divided by dozens or hundreds of brands from around the world.

"What you said makes sense, but why not contact Lenovo first."

"It's impossible for Lenovo. Their market share has always been guaranteed and they won't take this risk."

"But Asus and Acer may not be willing."

"What if we open our payment service to them?"

"There is no such possibility."

Wu Haijun shook his head.

"Why?"

Chen Yu felt strange: "Old Wu, look at you, so determined?"

"certainly."

"Do you know why Microsoft's Windows has a global monopoly?"

"The reasons here are very complicated, and I can't explain it for a while."

"It's indeed very complicated, but I didn't discuss the reasons before. The reason why I shook my head so firmly is because whether it's Asus or Acer, they have signed a strategic partnership with Microsoft. Of course, it's not just them. Microsoft has almost all partners around the world. All the PC giants have signed up."

"Holy shit."

Chen Yu just had the idea of ​​touching Microsoft, but unexpectedly, it was immediately extinguished.

"I didn't expect Microsoft to be so cautious."

Previously, Chen Yu always felt that Windows could monopolize the world because of its ecology.

In fact it is.

Without the ecosystem, Windows would have been wiped out by others long ago.

But even so.

With such a strong ecosystem, Microsoft still signed strategic cooperation with major PC giants.

I have to say that Microsoft's caution and subtlety are really admirable.

"Chen Yu, you don't want to completely compete with Microsoft, do you?"

Wu Haijun asked weakly.

"Old Wu, why can't you compete with Microsoft? You have to know that we competed with Huanyu Technology back then."

"Those are two different things."

Wu Haijun shook his head and said: "The competition between you and Microsoft before was only a partial competition. Whether it was instant messaging, browsers, or input methods, if Microsoft lost, they would lose. They may not care very much. However, if you challenge them operating system, then we will have to completely compete with Microsoft.”

"I know this too."

Chen Yu nodded.

It’s not like he doesn’t know the horror of Microsoft.

However, if you don't even have the idea of ​​​​moving Microsoft, how can you compete with him in the future?

"In fact, we can develop steadily on our own. With the current sales of netbooks, notebooks, and desktop computers, of course, Shenzhou also accounts for a certain amount of sales. In a few years, we will look for opportunities again."

"What year will it be in a few years? It will be difficult for us alone to have much impact on Microsoft."

Chen Yu naturally understood this.

Don't look at the current sales of Huanyu Technology's netbooks, notebooks, and a series of Shenzhou products.

But no matter how good this product is, it is only in the Chinese market.

Apart from the Chinese market, the 4th generation of Lizi has performed pretty well.

Others are average.

What does the Chinese market mean? Microsoft's market is a global market.

With the power of Huanyu Technology alone, it will take who knows how many years to make his computers and laptops available around the world.

After all, in the traditional PC field, which is a red ocean without much innovation, you may not be able to capture even 1 point of market share in a year.

This is why Chen Yu thought of ASUS and Acer in Taiwan.

Whether it is ASUS or Acer, they are among the top PC computer suppliers in the world.

At this time, their share is much larger than that of Lenovo.

Compared with Huanyu Technology's PC market, Acer and Asus are almost 10 times the size of Huanyu Technology's p market.

"No matter what, I'm going to go to Taiwan."

Although I know that Microsoft has strategic cooperation with these super large companies.

But there is such a thing as cooperation. If we can cooperate, we can separate.

As long as the benefits are sufficient.

…

"Uncle Wenqi and Aunt Xuehong, I didn't bring you any good gifts from the mainland this time. I just brought two Lizi 4th generation."

Taiwan City.

Chen Yu did not go directly to ASUS and Acer, but first made an appointment with Chen Wenqi from VIA and Wang Xuehong from HTC.

The three of them have known each other for a long time and have cooperated with each other a lot, so naturally they have a good relationship.

With that said, Chen Yu brought over two Lizi 4 generations.

"Tsk tsk, the golden version of Lizi 4th generation, Chen Yu, you are so generous."

"Aunt Xuehong, don't laugh at me. It's just a little thing. How generous is it in your eyes?"

"This is no small thing. It is said that your Lizi 4th generation alone will earn 100 billion a year."

"100 billion, how can there be so much."

Chen Yu shook his head.

"Why aren't there so many? Let me help you settle the account."

Wang Xuehong is very concerned about the 4th generation of Lizi: "Currently, you have sold 7 million units of the 4th generation of Lizi. Each unit costs 10,000 yuan, which is 70 billion. Based on the current sales volume, you can sell at least 2,000 units a year. Ten thousand units, that is, 200 billion."

"Aunt Xuehong, as you said, there is no cost."

"Okay, after excluding costs, we can earn at least 100 billion."

"Then what about profits, channel fees, publicity fees, and taxes for dealers?"

"Gungungun, this is all included. Don't tell me that your net profit is not 50%."

"Aunt Xuehong, how can this money be so easy to make?"

Chen Yu said haha.

He wasn't going to continue discussing this topic.

As for how much money Lizi 4th generation earned?

Chen Yu doesn't know.

The question of how much money he made was left to the financial director.

Chen Yu will come next. I don’t like money. I never touch money.

"When it comes to making money, Uncle Wenqi's chips are the only ones that make money."

Chen Yu turned the topic to VIA Electronics' 4-chip.

Since Huanyu Technology launched the netbook, it is not Huanyu Technology that has made the most money, but VIA Electronics.

As for the reason.

That is, the chips used in most netbooks are from VIA Electronics.

Although Huanyu Technology's own netbooks have used some Tianwen 2 generation, Tianwen 2 generation is still inferior to VIA Electronics' 4 processor. Therefore, Tianwen 2nd generation is only used on Huanyu netbooks. This also leads to the fact that the performance of Huanyu netbooks is not very good, but the overall performance of netbooks is not very good. People buy netbooks and do not pursue the performance of netbooks, which also makes Huanyu netbooks sell well.

In addition, the netbook is the first product launched by Huanyu Technology, so the appeal of this pioneer is still very strong.

However, except for Huanyu netbooks and Shenzhou netbooks, which use Tianwen 2nd generation chips, most other netbooks use VIA chips.

Although Intel and AMD have also launched chips in this market.

But because of the obvious advantages of 4 low energy consumption, 4 processors are also favored by many p giants.

Besides that, there is another reason.

That is, VIA Electronics is a Taiwanese company, and there are several p giants among Taiwanese companies.

Asus, Acer, Mingji... these three PC giants occupy more than 30% of the global market share.

Everyone is from Taiwan, so naturally they use their own chips.

In addition, some other PC giants also use 4 chips.

In the netbook market, VIA chips suddenly occupied more than 70% of the market share.

With such a large market, VIA Electronics, which was originally beaten by Intel and had no power to fight back, was instantly resurrected and reborn.

"Chen Yu, why did you blame me?"

Chen Wenqi spread his hands.

"Uncle Wenqi, I can't help Aunt Xuehong, so I have to blame it on you."

"Don't use me as a shield. It's useless. Let me tell you, I have no status in the family."

"puff……"

Chen Yu was stunned and gave Wang Xuehong a thumbs up.

Wang Xuehong glared at Chen Wenqi: "What nonsense are you talking about? You don't have status, so what status do you want?"

"No, no, no, I don't want any status. Whatever my wife says is whatever I want."

"Then what did you just say?"

"I was wrong."

Chen Yu naturally watched with relish.

"While you're at it, didn't you see that little guy Chen Yu was watching the fun?"

Wang Xuehong saw Chen Yu watching the show and said, "Tell me, what are you doing in Taiwan this time? Just give us pears, right?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want Uncle Wenqi and Aunt Xuehong to help me?"

"What's the deal?"

"I would like to ask Aunt Xuehong to speak to Mr. Zhang of TSMC."

"oh?"

Wang Xuehong was a little surprised: "Chen Yu, this doesn't look like your personality."

"I can't help it, it's a lot of pressure."

Chen Yu said helplessly: "I believe you also know that TSMC has joined forces with Samsung, and Intel once put pressure on us. We have been very distressed recently by them."

"I think you caught TSMC and the others off guard. Your Universal Payments is very powerful."

"What's great is that they can only keep the local market, and other markets are not theirs to decide."

This was naturally not Chen Yu's purpose in finding the two of them.

Chen Yu said this was just a temporary idea.

Chen Yu was stimulated by the strategic cooperation between Microsoft and major PC giants.

Microsoft already has a global monopoly, but it still has strategic cooperation with a number of PC giants.

Although Huanyu Technology has made some achievements now, it also has many enemies.

It would be best if they could fool their opponents strategically and buy Huanyu Technology some time.

However, Wang Xuehong seemed to see what Chen Yu was thinking: "Young master, you are asking me to deceive people. Do you think Zhang Zhongmou is so easy to deceive? Who told you to dig up his general Lin Benhan? Besides, you guys He has spent tens of billions to enter the photolithography machine market, and there is no way he will let you go."
