Chapter 395 The Dirty Appeasement Agreement in the PC World (2 more please order)
"Hello, Mr. Chen, hello. I'm sorry to disturb you so late. I have a situation to report to you." Wu Jun spoke very politely and used the word "report".
Although he is the boss of Shenchuan, he knows very well that Changtian Technology is the real boss behind it.
Chen Xiao was watching the football match at home. He took a sip of water, sat up from the sofa, walked to the balcony and said, "Mr. Wu is too polite. What are your instructions?"
Wu Jun laughed twice: "I am mainly reporting to you that Shenchuan's PC sales in the first quarter reached 150,000 units, and sales exceeded 700 million. We have achieved such excellent results with Changtian Technology, and Chen
Your support is inseparable."
"Shenship signed a gambling agreement with your company last year. According to the requirements of the agreement, Changtian Technology has reached the threshold of the agreement and can acquire 10% of Shenship's shares."
"I have prepared the relevant information, but I wonder if Mr. Chen is interested?"
Wu Jun was very good at doing things, and he knew that the divine ship might not be able to escape this disaster.
Rather than stalemate the relationship between himself and Changtian Technology, it is better to take the initiative to raise this matter to see Chen Xiao's reaction.
"If Mr. Chen is willing, I will immediately buy a ticket to Jiangzhou and discuss related acquisition matters with Mr. Chen."
Chen Xiao smiled. Changtian Technology was indeed right in choosing to cooperate with Shenchuan.
The growth of a company actually mainly depends on the leader of the company and the strategies he adopts.
Since Wu Jun took the initiative to mention this matter, it means that Wu Jun clearly knows that Shenchuan's sales performance today is absolutely inseparable from Changtian Technology's hardware.
Moreover, Wu Jun is also a very calm businessman. In order to make Shenchuan bigger and stronger, he is willing to lose some shares.
Chen Xiao said: "Don't bother Mr. Wu to come to Jiangzhou. I happen to have a gift for Mr. Wu. I'll go to Shenzhen City."
Wu Jun was a little surprised, but still said: "I will arrange for the secretary to book tickets for you immediately."
Shenchuan has made a lot of money this year, and Chen Xiao certainly won't be polite about paying for these air tickets.
He said to Wu Jun: "Then Mr. Wu, please book 5 air tickets."
Chen Xiao is going to Shenzhen City with Wang Xiang, Sun Dong, Song Yi, Yang Fei and others to discuss a major event related to the future development of Changtian Technology with Shenchuan.
At this time, Silicon Valley in the United States.
Microsoft and Dell are also sitting together for the third round of negotiations on the rights to use the XP system.
Dell has been under a lot of pressure recently.
Especially after experiencing a peak sales period at the beginning of the year, sales have been declining.
It is true that Changtian Technology's hardware has brought certain advantages to Dell, but with the popularity of XP systems, this advantage has become less and less obvious.
The XP system has brought about the rapid development of the software industry.
Currently, a large number of mainstream games and office software have been optimized on the basis of Windows XP, and their functions and usage efficiency are much higher than those of the windows98 platform.
Moreover, after the popularity of Windows XP system, the software industry has also shown a trend of explosion. Many newly developed office and excellent software only support XP system, which makes Dell very passive.
The computer is just a tool and a platform for communication between users and software.
If the software used by the user cannot be used on the Windows 98 system, then no matter how excellent the hardware of Changtian Technology is, what use is the speed?
This feeling is just like 20 years later, no matter how hard Nokia's mobile phone is, no matter how long the standby time is, it will lose the user market, because what users need is a smartphone that can surf the Internet and socialize, and it doesn't matter even if it is charged three times a day.
And under this situation, Dell felt very aggrieved.
Because they also use Changtian Technology's hardware and AMD's chips, Shenchuan is living very well in Xia Kingdom.
Because Shenchuan's PCs in Xia Kingdom can use pirated Windows XP systems openly, it perfectly solves the technical barriers Microsoft has set up for Changtian Technology's hardware.
According to the original agreement between Dell and Changtian Technology.
If Dell uses hardware equipment from Changtian Technology, it will have no way to enter the Xiaguo market.
This kind of agreement made Dell see his own shortcomings and put Dell in a dilemma.
After all, in the European market, if you use Changtian Technology's hardware equipment, you are not allowed to use Microsoft's XP system.
If Changtian Technology's hardware equipment is not used in the European market, then Dell will not have much advantage in competing with brands such as HP, Samsung, and Asus.
In the Xiaguo market, Dell cannot use Changtian Technology's hardware equipment, so it has no advantage over Xiaguo's Lianxiang, Shenchuan and other brands.
There is absolutely no eternal friendship between companies, only interests.
Dell is now looking for ways to regain his advantage.
Dell and Microsoft still have a lot of cooperation in the US market, so the relationship between the two parties is not too tense and they can sit down and have a good talk.
Dell CEO Michael and Microsoft's Gates sat together.
The two parties met and smiled. They were the best partners a few years ago. Unexpectedly, they became competitors to a certain extent because of their long-term technology.
Michael directly made his request: "Our products in Europe use Changtian Technology's hardware equipment, which is one of Dell's few competitive advantages. We hope that Microsoft will immediately lift the blockade on Changtian Technology's hardware products."
Gates said: "This is not in the interest of most American technology companies, and it is absolutely impossible for Microsoft to agree to it."
What Gates said is very reasonable. It is absolutely impossible for Microsoft to offend most American technology companies.
Immediately afterwards, Gates' words woke Dell up.
"Currently Changtian Technology has had a major impact on some of the technology industries in the United States."
"As far as I know, Changtian Technology has also reached a gambling agreement with Shenship. In the near future, Changtian Technology should acquire 10% of Shenship's shares again and become the largest shareholder of Shenship."
"With the ambition of Changtian Technology, do you really think that Shenchuan's PC will only be sold domestically in Xia Kingdom and will not be promoted to the international market?"
"Changtian Technology does not allow Dell to enter the Xiaguo market, but sells hardware equipment to Dell and lets you compete in Europe. It has two main purposes."
"One is to allow Changtian Technology's hardware products to open up the European market and increase Changtian Technology's profits and influence. The other is to protect Shenzhou's competitiveness in the Xia Kingdom and strive to make Shenzhou bigger and stronger."
"After being raised, will Shenchuan be willing to only live in the Xia Kingdom market?"
"The answer is no."
Michael's heart skipped a beat. He had thought about these issues earlier, but in order to reverse Dell's decline in the European market as soon as possible, he reached an agreement with Changtian Technology.
At this time, he felt that what Microsoft said was very reasonable. Changtian Technology would become the largest shareholder of Shenship and would definitely help Shenship further develop the market.
When Shenchuan became the number one selling PC manufacturer in Xia Guo, was Chen Xiao really only targeting the Xia Guo market?
