"Mr. Zhongmou, long time no see."
"I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Mr. Zhongmou doesn't seem to want to see me."
"If we don't want to see each other, we can't meet."
Taiwan city.
Zhang Zhongmou meets bill.
In fact, when Bill said he was coming, Zhang Zhongmou didn't want to see Bill.
He knew what Bill was coming for.
It's just that he hasn't thought about it yet.
Recently, he clearly saw the hostility between Microsoft camp and Huanyu technology camp.
so to speak.
PK of the two camps is not good for anyone.
As a chip OEM of TSMC, Zhang Zhongmou doesn't want to get involved in the competition between the two camps.
Although Huanyu technology has always been a competitor of TSMC.
But competition is one thing, and one out of two is another.
Just.
For a series of reasons, Zhang Zhongmou met with bill.
"Mr. Zhongmou is wise. I believe you know my intention. This time, I want to ask Mr. Zhongmou for help."
Bill didn't say what to help, but at this time, everyone knows what to help.
TSMC is the largest chip foundry in the world.
In addition to Intel's own chips, TSMC OEM the chips of all companies around the world.
AMD, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Infineon, and Taiwan's Weisheng electronics, MediaTek, and even Huanyu technology chips.
Even for Intel's own chips, it is said that in the future, Intel will choose to cooperate with TSMC and let them OEM them.
Bill's help is simply to cut off the OEM business for Huanyu technology chips.
"Bill, even if we join it, we may not be able to put much pressure on Huanyu technology. You know, Huanyu technology also has its own chip foundry business."
"Mr. Zhongmou, you know better than I do. Although Center International also has OEM technology, some low-end chips are OEM. You OEM the C4 chips and C5 chips of Weisheng electronics, including the strongest core of Huanyu technology Tianwen. Once your TSMC no longer cooperates with Huanyu technology, Huanyu technology's PC business will not only suffer a huge impact, but also their smart phones Business will also be a fatal blow. "
"It seems that this is a contest between Microsoft and Huanyu technology, which has nothing to do with TSMC."
"On the face of it, it seems that it has nothing to do with TSMC, but the international center of Huanyu technology will threaten your position of TSMC one day."
"This is our business. You don't have to worry about Microsoft."
Bill knows about TSMC.
Similarly, Zhang Zhongmou has a clear understanding of Microsoft.
Microsoft naturally wants to pull them into the water.
Although Zhang Zhongmou also wants to destroy Huanyu technology, Zhang Zhongmou knows better.
If they get into the water, it will be difficult for them to get ashore in the future.
TSMC is in Taiwan.
Although Huanyu technology is Huanyu technology, it represents the mainland.
Taiwan's economy is very dependent on the mainland in all aspects. Zhang Zhongmou can't make this decision without considering it clearly.
of course.
If it is normal business competition, Zhang Zhongmou will never hesitate.
But the problem is.
This is no longer normal business competition.
This sudden announcement to stop cooperation will lay a fatal curse on TSMC in the future.
"It seems that Mr. Zhongmou hasn't thought well. It's all right. You can think more for a few days. However, I suggest you don't think too long."
"What do you mean?"
"This time, I come to represent not only Microsoft, but also..."
At this point, Bill didn't go on.
But Zhang Zhongmou's face changed dramatically.
If it is just the behavior of some commercial companies such as Microsoft and Intel, it will be blocked. Although it is shameless, it makes sense.
But.
If it is not just the meaning of Microsoft and Intel, but there are forces behind them
Zhang Zhongmou closed his eyes. He didn't dare to think deeply.
As global technology giants Microsoft and Intel, they themselves belong to a major force.
Who can you imagine is bigger than them?
……
"President Chen, Dell and HP have launched a business of recycling keyboard, chassis and mouse."
"Thanks to their ability to think of such an operation, it is difficult for them."
"They can't help it either. However, from the recent feedback on the recycling effect, the data is not ideal. One is that many second-hand parts are too old and have no recycling value. On the other hand, they also need to establish a large-scale OEM base after recycling, which takes time. However, we have to guard against this."
"It's no use defending them. They don't have much technical content. As long as they don't make money, we can't take them. Now we'll see who can survive."
At Huanyu technology headquarters, Zhang Jianming reported to Chen Yu the recent situation on the other side of the Microsoft camp.
"And on the side of Acer and ASUS in Taiwan, they failed to agree to all our cooperation plans for the time being, and only appropriately increased their business by 30%. It is said that bill of Microsoft personally went to Taiwan and met with master Shi."
"It's good to increase by 30%, which has nothing to do with whether Bill sees Mr. Shi or not."
Chen Yu is not surprised.
Although his relationship with Mr. Shi is OK, and Mr. Shi is also the first international PC manufacturer to support their Huanyu system and C4 processor. However, in the end, they are also a commercial company. In order to survive, they can't bet all their hopes on Huanyu technology. Even if Chen Yu had made a good point before, they had to consider things outside the market.
"It's true that master Shi has been cautious all his life, and we can't force him to stand in line."
"Anyway, we still have to thank Master Shi."
"Mr. Chen, don't worry. I'll go to Taiwan in person in a few days."
"That's good."
"President Chen, one more thing."
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Jianming didn't know whether to say it or not.
"What's up?"
"It is said that when Bill went to Taiwan this time, he not only met master Shi, but also Zhang Zhongmou."
"TSMC."
Chen Yu said seriously.
"Yes."
Knowing the seriousness of the problem, Zhang Jianming then said, "we have many high-end chips made by TSMC, but TSMC is difficult for us."
"Do you think it's possible?"
"If you take Microsoft's strength, TSMC doesn't have to pay attention. Although Zhang Zhongmou is our competitor, he has only done chip OEM for decades and never done other business. From the point of view, he is not an easy person to stand in line. But..."
"Just say what you have to say."
"I mean, if the forces behind Microsoft Support..."
"I see."
Chen Yu nodded.
Up to now, Chen Yu has long known that this has exceeded the competition between commercial companies.
in fact.
At the beginning of PK, Chen Yu already knew it would be like this.
otherwise.
Microsoft dare to make such a ban?
Just.
Chen Yu knew that TSMC would make a move in his previous life. How could Chen Yu have no backhand in this life.
"Brother Jian, let's go to the international center."
"Central International?"
Zhang Jianming doesn't know what Chen Yu said to do with the international center.
Although the center international has chip OEM business, the OEM is medium and low-end chips.
Even going to the international center is useless.
Seeing Chen Yu's extremely calm expression, Zhang Jianming asked, "President Chen, you mean, our lithography machine..."
