Chapter 662

"Old man, long time no see."

"Bill, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are the richest man in the world. It's too difficult to meet."

"Dale, I don't like to hear that. When can't you see me if you want to see me?"

Bill made an appointment with dale in a cafe.

Yes, this Dell is the founder of Dell computer.

Dell founded a PC company with us $1000 at the age of 19. So far, he has become the world's largest PC sales giant. Of course, more than that, Dell's business is not only personal computers, but also high-end servers, storage business, network devices and so on.

However, as the most famous business in the world, it is their Dell computer.

At the same time, Dell computer is also the most profitable business of Dell.

"I don't believe such words. Come on, what's the matter?"

"We've had a little trouble recently."

"I heard you right."

Dell was extremely surprised: "you Microsoft are still in trouble. Is the U.S. government looking for your problems again?"

In Dell's eyes, Microsoft is basically invincible.

Except for political reasons, Microsoft can't get into trouble.

And Microsoft almost split them in two because of the federal court.

Even if they encounter, with the strength of Microsoft, they can solve it quickly.

"Hehe, the U.S. government is not bothering us. It is an enterprise from China that is bothering us."

"Enterprises from China, you mean Huanyu technology?"

"That's right."

Bill nodded.

"Bill, I know what you're talking about."

After all, they are computer makers. Although the netbooks that have emerged in China recently have not been sold in the United States, Dell, who is also a computer maker, still knows this new product.

"I hope our cooperation can continue."

Bill said seriously.

"Bill, we've worked together for so many years. Do you think I'll destroy the previous cooperation?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean it. I just had some worries."

"Don't worry, we're not interested in netbooks."

Dell has cooperated with Microsoft for decades. With their cooperation, Microsoft has become a global operating system giant.

Similarly, Dell has become the number one computer brand in the world.

Although it seems that Microsoft is more powerful than Dell, Dell doesn't think they are much worse than Microsoft at all.

Dell knows that cooperation with Microsoft is the cornerstone of their good development.

With a small netbook, he can't shake the previous cooperation with Microsoft.

"Thank you, old man. I have to go to HP."

Dell got a clear answer, and Bill went to HP.

Like Dell, HP also said that they would continue to cooperate with Microsoft.

But even so, in addition to the two statements, the two computer companies are not calm.

"Boss, I think we should launch our netbooks immediately."

"Netbook is a very good idea. It is not popular in the United States yet. We must follow up immediately."

"If we wait any longer, we won't have a chance."

Separated from bill, Dell returned to the company.

Just for the suggestions of the bottom personnel, Dell has a headache.

He doesn't really recognize netbooks.

Although it seems that netbooks sell well in China.

But that's because there are too few computers in China, so everyone wants to buy a cheap computer.

But in the United States, he thought it would not be popular.

Of course, the Chinese market is also large and should have entered.

But Dell seemed hesitant.

As for the reason, it's too simple. If they enter, will the new netbook continue to support windows?

In itself, according to years of cooperation with Microsoft, there should be no hesitation.

However, if windows is installed, how can it PK with other netbooks.

You know, windows is not free. It costs hundreds of dollars to install windows on each computer.

Do you think the cost is hundreds of dollars more?

Far from it.

If windows is installed, should Intel's processor be installed?

You know, windows and Intel processors are a perfect match.

Even if you change to AMD, it's not so perfect.

Moreover, even if it is AMD, the CPUs of both of them are expensive.

In such a comparison, if they continue to install windows, their production cost will be 1000 yuan more than that of ordinary netbooks.

More than 1000 yuan, which is basically impossible to survive in the manufacturing industry.

Don't say 1000 yuan. Sometimes an extra 100 yuan will ruin a company.

Of course, there are inexpensive ones.

For example, via's C4 chip.

After the listing of Huanyu netbook and Shenzhou netbook, Weisheng also carried out their business on a large scale.

In the notebook market, their via chips are not considered by many computer companies.

However, in the netbook market, if you want to reduce costs, you can only choose via.

If you install windows and use Intel processors... What's the difference between this and a notebook?

Netbooks are cheap.

This low price is outrageously low.

Reducing the cost of some meta materials alone is far from reaching the level of netbooks.

So.

Here comes the problem.

Is Dell going to make netbooks or not?

Of course, this problem is not only for Dell, but also for HP.

After Bill contacted HP, although HP once again stated that it would firmly cooperate with Microsoft, it was impossible to say that it was not jealous in the face of the netbook boom on the other side of China. In their eyes, although netbooks are things that change soup but not medicine, although their prices are also very cheap. But if we play like Huanyu technology, the profit is also very large.

In particular, the Huanyu system is declared completely free, which saves a lot of costs.

Plus C4 chip is also very cheap.

In addition, a series of other computer components are not very expensive.

Taken together, this is actually a very profitable business.

"Do you want to make a netbook?"

This gives them some headaches.

However, it is a commercial company after all, and it is impossible not to make money.

But they don't want to do it openly.

Soon, these global computer sales giants came up with an idea.

Try it first.

yes.

No matter what the future of netbooks is, if we take a wait-and-see attitude, it will be out.

Anyway, try to produce some first.

Anyway, they don't produce so much in the first batch. If the effect is good, increase it.

If the effect is not good, turn it off directly.

Moreover, trying to produce a batch will not affect the overall situation of cooperation with Microsoft.

Everyone wants to make money. It's impossible for them to rely entirely on Microsoft.

In fact, this is the idea of some global PC manufacturers.

For those regional level or single market level computer companies, there is not so much consideration.

For example, Tsinghua Tongfang, founder... These computer companies in China.

Although these computer companies are well-known in China, they are not famous in the world.

They just want to sell more computers. They just want to make more money.

Before, I had no choice but to use Microsoft Windows and Intel chips.

But now, with a way without windows and Intel chips, they can't stand still.

In this way, netbooks are just the beginning, and a series of computer manufacturers are already on the road
