Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Moreover, for the notebook computer market, VIA Electronics has also launched a cpu called "C3".

But VIA is strong, but Intel is even stronger.

Just after VIA launched the C3 processor, Intel launched an epoch-making technology last year, the Centrino technology.

Centrino technology is not a processor, it is the brand name of a mobile computer technology launched by Intel.

该技术包括该由90nm制程的Dothan核心（2MB L2缓存，533MHz FSB）的PentiumM处理器、全新Aviso芯片组、新的无线模组Calexico2（英特尔PRO/无线2915ABG或2200BG无线局域网组件）三个主要部件组成。

Once this technology was launched, it quickly became a benchmark in the notebook industry, and VIA Electronics' C3 processor was directly killed in seconds.

So far, the PK dream between VIA Electronics and Intel has been broken.

VIA Electronics no longer has the strength to challenge Intel.

At the same time, the branch of VIA Electronics, which was opened in Zhongguancun, was also closed.

"Zimo, what do you think we will do with VIA in the future?"

Looking at the words VIA Electronics, which will be delisted in the future, Chen Wenqi sighed.

Thinking of the ambition to compete with Intel back then, it has become a joke today.

This kind of gap, most people really can't understand.

"Mr. Chen, we..."

Lin Zimo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Although Intel's crackdown is unlikely to bring down VIA Electronics, VIA Electronics has become irrelevant.

At most, they can choose some less important chipset business to do it, but then they want to change the pattern, affect the entire industry, and even compete with Intel, that is just a dream.

"Mr. Chen, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Let's go back to Taiwan and think about it carefully, and we will always find a way."

This is of course consolation.

Lin Zimo, who has a background in technology, knows that the brand of VIA Electronics will be less and less known in the future.

Or in the next ten or twenty years, maybe you have not even heard of the name VIA Electronics.

"Zi Mo, don't comfort me, you know the current situation of VIA Electronics better than I do."

Chen Wenqi smiled bitterly, and then said, "Zi Mo, how old are you now?"

"45, Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"

"I'm 3 years older than you, 48, and I'll be 50 in two years. Should we retire?"

"Mr. Chen, where are you thinking?"

"Okay, okay, just kidding, if I retire at the age of 50, I will die of loneliness."

Although the market has been beaten steadily by Intel, VIA Electronics has also been brilliant.

And isn't VIA not dead yet?

"By the way, the person who wants to rent our building will come soon?"

"He said."

"Okay, wait for him."

The branch in Zhongguancun is going to be closed, so naturally they have to find another company to sublet.

If it was normal, Chen Wenqi wouldn't have the time to deal with this matter, just leave it to the company's people to handle it.

But I heard that the subletter of their office building seems to be doing IT, and he is a young man in his 20s.

This made Chen Wenqi very curious about this young man.

Is it necessary to build such a large office building in my 20s?

After waiting for ten minutes, the person Chen Wenqi wanted to see came.

"I'm sorry, both of you, to keep you waiting."

"Are you the one who wants to rent our office building?"

"Yes, my surname is Chen, Mr. Chen, we are from the same family."

The person who came was none other than Chen Yu.

When he knew that Chen Wenqi was in Beishi, Chen Yu went to Zhongguancun.

Before, he thought he had to go to Taiwan to find Chen Wenqi.

It seems that luck is good this time, and I will be able to meet him in the mainland.

"It seems to be destined."

Chen Wenqi shook hands with Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, I don't know what you rented this office building for?"

"laptop."

"Do you represent a certain computer brand?"

"No, we're going to launch a whole new laptop, I'm calling it a netbook."

"Netbook, what does that mean?"

"It is a notebook for ordinary users to chat online."

Chen Yu explained the concept of surfing the net.

Both of them are experts in this field, but when they heard it, Chen Wenqi and Lin Zimo were suddenly moved.

Chen Wenqi glanced at Lin Zimo, Lin Zimo said understandingly: "The idea of ​​this netbook is very creative, can you tell me more about it?"

"of course."

Chen Yu nodded, and then continued: "It seems that our netbook is a kind of notebook, but it is completely different from traditional notebooks. We don't plan to install Microsoft's Windows operating system, because I think it is too expensive and too bulky , we plan to install a more streamlined and smoother linux system. In addition, for the cpu, we also hope to find a smaller and lower energy consumption cpu. For example..."

Having said that, Chen Yu looked at Chen Wenqi: "For example, your company's C3 processor."

That's right.

What subletting the office building of Weisheng Electronics, Chen Yu is waiting for Chen Wenqi today.

"Excuse me?"

Looking at Chen Yu.

Chen Wenqi and Lin Zimo's hearts were turbulent.

They didn't expect that when they were desperate, a miracle suddenly appeared.

A young man in his 20s made them feel enlightened, and he understood everything at once.

It's just that when they looked at Chen Yu again, they knew it.

The young man in his 20s in front of him is definitely not an ordinary tenant who sublets their office building.

"Get to know each other again."

Chen Yu stretched out his hand again: "CEO of Huanyu Technology, Chen Yu."

With that said, Chen Yu introduced himself once.

Chapter 579: The founder of htc is coming

"It turned out to be Mr. Chen from Universal Technology."

Looking at Chen Yu in front of him, Chen Wenqi was extremely surprised.

Although they had never met Chen Yu before, they had heard some rumors about Universal Technology.

Especially in the recent contest between Universal Technology and Microsoft, Chen Wenqi couldn't get enough of it.

Their fight against Intel is actually the same as Universal Technology against Microsoft.

It's just a pity that they failed in the contest with Intel.

However, Huanyu Technology has a slight advantage in this competition with Microsoft.

Of course, this does not mean that Universal Technology is stronger than Microsoft.

This is just a local war for Microsoft.

But an Internet company can force Microsoft's business to retreat steadily, I have to say, it is really powerful.

And this Internet company has only been established for a few years.

"Long time, long time."

Chen Wenqi invited Chen Yu to sit down.

"Mr. Chen, I have admired you for a long time. You Weisheng Electronics is a very powerful company, if Intel doesn't use any means."

"It can't be blamed on Intel's tricks. Our strength is weaker than theirs. It's normal for us to lose in the competition. If I were Intel, I might do the same."

"Mr. Chen is quite open-minded."

"There's nothing you can do if you don't like it. Anyway, it's like this, and the lost business can't come back. However, I am very interested in the netbook that Mr. Chen just mentioned. Can you talk about it in detail?"

"of course can."

Immediately, Chen Yu chatted with Chen Wenqi and Li Zimu about the netbooks to be launched in the future.

Although netbooks were out of the market before the tablet came out.

But in the era without tablet PCs, netbooks are definitely a rising industry in the PC field.

At that time, the most popular PC computer was the netbook.

As for why, there is no other.

Cheap and light.

Especially light, which will be a mainstream in the future electronics field.

"Mr. Chen, how big do you think the market for netbooks is?"

"It's so big, so big that I don't even dare to estimate it."

"Mr. Chen, are you so sure?"

"Otherwise I wouldn't have come to see you in person."

As soon as he turned to Chen Wenqi and imagined the future of netbooks, Chen Wenqi became more and more excited.

In fact, when Chen Yu mentioned the netbook, he knew that this was an opportunity for VIA.

However, when Chen Yu talked about the future netbook market, Chen Wenqi almost cried out excitedly.

Fortunately, after a long time in the mall, he can still maintain his composure.

But the restlessness in his heart became more and more intense.

For a whole day, Chen Wenqi and Chen Yu were chatting about netbooks.

Even, they chatted until 12 o'clock in the evening.

If it wasn't too late, Chen Wenqi wished he could continue chatting with Chen Yu.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I've been in Beishi for the past few days. I still have time tomorrow. We can continue talking."

Seeing that Chen Wenqi couldn't stop talking, Chen Yu interrupted.

"Okay, then... I'll wait for your call tomorrow."

Although there was still some unfinished business, Chen Wenqi also knew it was too late.

Besides, Chen Yu also said that he is in Beishi these days, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After being separated from Chen Yu, Chen Wenqi returned to the hotel in a hurry.

"Xuehong, are you asleep?"

Taking out his mobile phone, Chen Wenqi called his wife Wang Xuehong.
