Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Brother, you won't be fooled by Chen Yu, right?"

"Are you being fooled? There are indeed some people who were fooled by him."

"Then you return it?"

"Don't you think this is an opportunity?"

Shi Zhenrong said: "Microsoft cannot always have a monopoly, and we cannot always be bound to them."

"But the problem is that Microsoft is now a monopoly. If it fails, Acer's PC business will be greatly affected."

"This is what I'm worried about, otherwise, I would have agreed to him directly."

"There are too many risks here, bro. Isn't this not your style?"

Shi Congtang still shook his head: "It is best to maintain the existing cooperation with Microsoft."

"Congtang, do you know that when you left Acer, I kept asking, did I do something wrong?"

"Brother, why are you mentioning what happened back then? Isn't it in the past?"

"It's indeed in the past. Of course, I don't always remember it. I just think that if I had listened to your opinions more back then, maybe you wouldn't have come to ASUS."

Shi Congtang's personality tends to be open, while Shi Zhenrong's personality tends to be conservative.

At that time, Shi Congtang believed that Acer could use its market share in the PC field to enter the motherboard business.

But because Shi Zhenrong believed that this area would offend Intel, he did not enter.

In anger, Shi Congtang left Acer and joined Asus.

Moreover, after entering Asus, through a series of efforts, Asus defeated Intel's motherboard business and became the world's number one.

"Haha, Congtang, speaking of it, you were the most courageous among our brothers back then."

Shi Zhenrong said with a smile: "Logically speaking, if Chen Yu comes to see you, you should consider it."

"Probably because he's old."

Shi Congtang was stunned.

This reminded him of the glorious past.

Although everyone was not optimistic about their competition with Intel at the time, he relied on his incomparable faith to defeat the powerful Intel.

But times have changed, and Shi Congtang's bravery back then has gradually faded.

But what is dramatic is that Shi Zhenrong, who had been conservative back then, gradually became more open.

"Yeah, getting old."

Shi Zhenrong also sighed: "We are all old."

Just changing the topic, Shi Zhenrong said: "But just because we are old, there are not many opportunities left for us."

"Brother, have you thought about it?"

"Although I haven't fully thought about it, I think I will agree to Chen Yu."

"..."

Looking at Shi Zhenrong's expression, Shi Congtang knew that Shi Zhenrong had already decided.

"Chen Yu is really awesome."

In his heart, Shi Congtang said.

He didn't expect that Chen Yu could convince Shi Zhenrong.

Still, he wanted to know why.

"Brother, can I ask why you agreed?"

There is absolutely no way this is a fight.

This is not some kind of chicken blood.

"My brother still understands me."

Although Shi Zhenrong wanted to fight, he did not lose his mind.

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

The reason why he wanted to fight was not only to give Acer a chance, but also because of Huanyu Technology.

"Brother, do you know about Huanyu Technology?"

"I don't know how to put it, although I think this is a technology company with great potential, they are still far behind Microsoft."

"There is indeed a big gap now, but their earning power is not bad at all."

"There are so many things that can be done in the Internet sector, and everyone knows that there is too much of a bubble here."

What Shi Congtang meant was that the valuations of Friends.com and Huanyu Video were too high, and he was not worth the price.

"Let's put this aside for now, let's talk about Huanyu Technology's PC business. They didn't have a PC business back then, but they invented the netbook."

"The netbook is not an invention, it is actually a notebook."

"Although it is not an invention, it avoided competition with us and suddenly broke into the PC field."

"But the market is not big."

"It's really not that big, but they invented the gaming laptop right after."

"Gaming laptops can only be considered high-end laptops."

"Theoretically, this is the case, but doesn't this give them a large market share?"

"Actually, when the two are added together, their 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 discussed this business with me last time. As for what this product is, brother, I can only keep it secret from you for the time being. When our new product comes out, you will know it at a glance."

At this time, Shi Congtang began to think alone.

Deep down, he naturally admires Huanyu Technology's innovative capabilities.

Although the PC product he mentioned above from Huanyu Technology is just a different concept, it is actually a notebook.

But even with a different concept, his market is enough for a PC company to make a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, after netbooks and game notebooks, Huanyu Technology has a new product.

Although he doesn't know what this new product is yet.

But looking at Shi Zhenrong's expression, he believes that the market share of this new product will definitely not be lower than that of netbooks and gaming laptops.

Even higher.

If that's the case, then it seems okay for Acer to take a risk.

However, this is not the point.

Shi Congtang also knew that this was not what Shi Zhenrong told him.

The meaning behind the words is obvious.

Huanyu Technology can produce a series of innovative products one after another.

Maybe after a while, he will have a new product.

When these innovations continue to appear, it is uncertain when it may exceed the share of the traditional PC market.

In the future, there may even be a product that eliminates PCs, or that surpasses PC products...

Is this possible?

Naturally, there is no such possibility when he does not show up.

Once it appears.

That is a change in the entire industry landscape.

…

"Chen Yu, I am Shi Zhenrong."

After returning to Shencheng for a few days, there was no news from Acer. Chen Yu secretly lamented that there might be no hope in this aspect.

Unexpectedly, Shi Zhenrong called Chen Yu at noon.

"Mr. Shi, have you thought it through?"

"Mr. Chen, how do you know that I have thought it over carefully and not rejected you?"

"It would be cruel to say no to the possibility of calling me in person."

"Hahaha, Chen Yu, you are very interesting."

Shi Zhenrong said: "Yes, I have thought about it."

"That's great, Mr. Shi, I know you will make the most correct choice."

"I don't know if it is the most correct choice for the time being, but I am still uneasy now."

"Mr. Shi, don't worry, although Microsoft is very strong, as I said before, Microsoft is not invincible."

"I accept what you said. However, I cannot fully agree to the conditions you mentioned before."

"Mr. Shi, tell me."

"It is impossible for 30% of the market share to be equipped with your Huanyu system. This volume is simply too large and we cannot afford such market consequences."

"Mr. Shi, what do you mean?"

"5 points."

"Can."

Chen Yu agreed directly without any bargaining.

In fact, the 30% share he mentioned last time was just an infinitely higher quotation.

Not to mention that Acer didn't dare to do this, even Shenzhou, which was acquired by Chen Yu, didn't dare to do this.

Although the market share dropped from 30% to 5%, it was really a big drop.

Even a 5% market share is too small.

But considering Acer’s size, 5% share is already quite large.

But, more importantly.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it is a 5% share or other proportions.

Even if it is 1% of the market share, Chen Yu will agree.

As long as there is a traditional Acer PC on the market equipped with the Universal system, this is enough.

Microsoft's powerful Chen Yu knows this very well.

How is it possible to kill him all at once?

But if Acer comes in, it will be a direction sign.

Even if it is just one unit, this will have a profound impact on the existing PC industry structure.

"I have good news for you all."

Huanyu Technology Headquarters.

Chen Yu summoned the heads of various subsidiaries together.

Zhang Jianming, Li Nan, Zou Tao, Huang Zheng, Li Xueling, Wu Kai, Zhou Yifei, Li Biqing, He Tingbo, Li Kaifu... Even Wang Chang and Chen Yu transferred them back from the United States.

Something like this, generally speaking, means there is something important to announce.

"Mr. Chen, what's the good news?"

Li Nan asked with some anticipation.

Not just them, everyone else has some expectations.

Chen Yu's announcement with such importance must have huge benefits.

"Haha, I won't say it yet. However, I tell you, if I announce this news, you will definitely jump with excitement."

Chen Yu sold himself as an official.

This makes everyone extremely itchy.

"Mr. Chen, stop being so pretentious. You see, Mr. Wang is back from the United States and is just waiting for you to speak."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, come on, we can't wait."

Chen Yu was a little stimulated, and everyone asked from time to time.

"Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you."

"Everyone, get ready first."

Seeing everyone's eyes widening, Chen Yu saw that the effect was achieved, and then said: "The good news is that, if nothing unexpected happens, next week, that is, Tuesday, Acer notebooks will be officially equipped with our Universal system. "

As soon as this news was said.

The first person to react was Li Kaifu.

"Mr. Chen, is it true?"

Li Kai stood up with a loud sound.

Acer is the third largest PC company in the world. It is absolutely earth-shattering to be able to install Universal Notebook on their notebooks.

"of course it's true."

Chen Yu said firmly: "Otherwise, why would I ask everyone to come over?"

"Great, Mr. Chen, I have been waiting for this day."

Li Kaifu couldn't hide his excitement.

Didn't he join Huanyu Technology just for the operating system?

At the same time, the heads of other subsidiaries also congratulated Li Kaifu.

Although the news is about Huanyu System, it has nothing to do with many other subsidiaries of Huanyu Technology.

But actually.

This is not true.

This is the operating system.

The operating system is related to any business in the PC field.

At present, most of Huanyu Technology's business is completed under the operating system.

But before they were using Windows, and now, they have finally pushed out their own system.

"Thank you, thank you all."

Li Kaifu thanked everyone from time to time and was about to express his inner thoughts.

But at this moment, Li Kaifu let out a thud.

He had a bad feeling.

"Mr. Chen, are you saying that Acer will be equipped with our Universal System next week?"

"Yes."

"That means we will officially compete with Microsoft?"

"That's right."

Chen Yu nodded.

In the past, we only had a small dispute with Microsoft.

This time, Huanyu Technology and Microsoft are preparing for a big one.

But Li Kaifu's words immediately made the entire office freeze.

"Oh my God, this..."

"Competing with Microsoft?"

"Mr. Chen, is this too fast?"

this moment.

The heads of the subsidiaries suddenly discovered it.

This doesn't seem like good news.

However, Chen Yu was right.

This news really shocked them.

In fact, they already had some heartbeats.

"How about it, let's get excited."

Chen Yu smiled and said: "Let me just say that this news is very exciting. Everyone, what do you think?"

"Mr. Chen, can we take a step back?"

Li Kaifu said with some embarrassment.

"Why take a step back?"

"The main reason is that Microsoft is too powerful and we are not ready yet."

"Didn't you just say that this is what you have been looking forward to?"

"Well……"

Li Kaifu wanted to slap himself.

He was so happy that he forgot all about it, but after calming down, he realized the danger involved.

Of course, it's not just Li Kaifu.

All the heads of subsidiaries who came to the office today broke out in cold sweat behind their backs.

Don't say that Li Kaifu wasn't ready, they were also not ready.

If they want to fight Microsoft for real now, they really don't have much confidence.

"Mr. Chen, I just failed to understand the key point. Acer has always been a strategic partner of Microsoft, and now it has turned to us. This is tantamount to declaring war on Microsoft. I predict that once Acer notebooks are equipped with our operating system system, Microsoft will attack all of our Huanyu Technology businesses."

"Yes, if they suddenly suspend and ban our YY, the consequences will be disastrous."

Li Nan also followed closely and said.

The biggest trouble in the war with Microsoft is not the Universal System.

The biggest trouble is Huanyu Technology’s series of businesses.

Instant messaging, online games, e-commerce, portals, and office software will all be affected.

"Li Nan, don't scare yourself, Microsoft doesn't dare touch our instant messaging."

"I'm afraid they will be reckless."

"If Microsoft still wanted the domestic market, he wouldn't do this."

Although Microsoft has a monopoly on the operating system market, since it has a monopoly, if it dares to ban this and that, is it just a decoration for the top department?

"Mr. Chen, we know what you mean, but a series of our businesses are under the Windows system. Once the war starts, we will be very passive."

"Since we are working on the Huanyu system, we should think of this day."

"But Mr. Chen, we are not ready yet."

"Okay, let me ask you, if I give you time to prepare, won't Microsoft be able to touch you?"

"Well……"

After saying this, everyone became silent.

The power of Microsoft is not something you can handle just by being prepared.

Whether you are prepared or not, for Microsoft, it is actually the same.

"But what if Microsoft really blocks our various businesses?"

"The troops are coming and the water is coming, and the soil is flooding. If you don't give it a try, how will you know what Microsoft will do?"

This battle will happen sooner or later.

It is better to fight late than to fight early.

A few years later, it will no longer be a competition in the PC field, but a competition in the mobile Internet.

Once Microsoft reaches out to the mobile Internet, it will also be a huge trouble.

Don't think that Microsoft was eliminated in the previous mobile Internet era, but if it comes again, are you really sure that it will be eliminated?

"Okay, I have reached cooperation with Acer. As for how to deal with it next, don't we still have time? In the remaining time, everyone can think about how to deal with it."

End of the meeting.

Chen Yu patted his butt and left.

Everyone was left looking at each other in shock.

"Everyone, how do you break it?"

"I also want to know how to break it?"

"I'm worried that Microsoft will really ban our instant messaging."

"Li Nan, why are you worried about your instant messaging? Microsoft doesn't dare to touch you for the time being, but our game business is probably on the line."

"Not just your game business, our series of Internet businesses have great risks."

"Not just the Internet business, but all of our businesses will be affected."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go back and prepare a response plan."

Although all the heads of subsidiaries were driven crazy by Chen Yu's move.

But no matter how crazy they are, they know that the war is coming.

"Chen Yu, your move is really a bombshell."

After Chen Yu's good news was announced, the heads of the subsidiaries were extremely serious and immediately returned to each company to discuss future strategies. However, Li Biqing, who had been semi-retired, came to Chen Yu's office.

"It's not really a bombshell."

Chen Yu shook his head: "I also want to push their potential."

"Is your potential so high?"

"Otherwise, it would be no challenge to find an opponent with little strength."

"Then your challenge is too great."

"fine."

Chen Yu spread his hands: "Dean, we have some advantages by attacking first. Otherwise, it will be even more detrimental to us when Microsoft launches an attack on us."

"That's true."

Li Biqing agreed with Chen Yu's point of view.

There will definitely be a battle between Huanyu Technology and Microsoft.

It's just that it hasn't been launched before, because Microsoft thinks it's not time yet.

Although the Huanyu system has appeared before, it is only a niche market, and the Huanyu system has not entered foreign countries.

So Microsoft also wants to take a look at the situation.

But in fact, Microsoft definitely knows the ambitions of Huanyu Technology. As long as they want to fight, they can compete with Huanyu Technology at any time.

Rather than passively defending, it is better to attack directly.

"But, Chen Yu, are you sure?"

"Twenty percent."

Hold out two fingers.

Chen Yu didn't have any chance of winning in his heart.

But even if there is no chance of winning, Chen Yu must fight.

"A 20% chance of winning is pretty good."

Li Biqing sighed and said no more.

…

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

According to previous agreement, Acer notebooks will be officially equipped with Universal System.

Although this amount is not large.

However, when the first Acer notebook equipped with Universal system appeared on the market, the entire market exploded.
