Chapter 594 Arena
“The domestic Tianji chip is released!”
“The performance of the Tianji chip is comparable to the most advanced Intel Pentium chip installed in domestic computers!”
"Ni Guangnan, chief engineer of Tianji Chip, was born in Lianxiang!"
"The birth of domestic Tianji Chip is expected to change the domestic chip pattern, and domestic chip prices may usher in big changes!"
"If Tianji chips are supplied on a large scale, the price of domestic computers may be adjusted, and domestic computer sales will usher in explosive growth!"
"Huashang Daily interviewed Wu Xinyi, general manager of Dongxin Semiconductor, and Wu Xinyi claimed that Tianji The pricing of the chip has not been released yet, but it cannot be higher than the US$900 price of the Intel Pentium chip in China!”
After the news broadcast, the domestic media began to report overwhelmingly, especially Huang Lingyi’s interview! , and her previous contributions to the domestic semiconductor industry were reported, and public opinion completely exploded.
The emergence of Tianji chips has obviously caught many domestic media off guard. Before, there was no news at all, and Tianji suddenly appeared.
Although some media previously questioned the authenticity of Tianji, after the Xinwen Network report came out, the doubts about the authenticity of Tianji chips basically disappeared.
After the emergence of Tianji, it means that in China, there are domestic chips that can "temporarily" compete with Intel's Pentium chips!
There are also media reports that are quite optimistic. They believe that after the emergence of Tianji, the price of foreign chips entering the country will need to be reduced, and domestic computer sales will usher in a big explosion.
Nowadays, computers equipped with Pentium chips are high-end computers. For example, Lianxiang's high-end computers equipped with Pentium are priced at around 15,000 yuan.
But if it is sold so expensively, can Lianxiang make a lot of money? Of course it is impossible. Lianxiang has almost all imported parts. The supply price of just one Pentium chip is around US$900, occupying a large market share. A machine is about 50% of the total cost!
In other words, even if you want to sell a computer, 50% of the income will be given to Intel in exchange for Intel's not the most advanced 250-nanometer chip, just a 600-nanometer chip!
In addition to Intel chips, there are also hard drives, memory sticks, graphics cards, motherboard chips, displays, power adapters, sound cards, network cards, optical drives, cooling fans, key capacitors and resistors, power plugs, and computer built-in optical disc laser heads. , motors, etc., even thinking about it requires importing.
These imported parts, plus assembly fees, transportation, advertising, agent sharing, etc., account for 80% of the cost of a Lianxiang machine, and the remaining 20% is Lianxiang’s profit. !
Of course, Lianxiang also has a product developed, which is the chassis casing. In this regard, Lianxiang can still manufacture it by itself.
Calculated based on these costs, if the chip is changed from Pentium to Tianji, no matter how bad Dongxin is, it will not be as bad as Intel, right?
Intel sells a Pentium chip to China for 900 US dollars. Even if Dongxin sells it at 60% of the price, it can still sell for 540 US dollars. A Tianji chip cannot reach 4320 yuan even if the production cost is exhausted. Bar.
The overseas price of Pentium is just this price. For example, the cost of Intel supplying chips for IBM's $3,000 machine is only about $450.
This IBM model has a starting price of about 30,000 yuan in China. It is definitely a high-end computer. The cost of the chip is only 450 US dollars. It is conceivable how high the premium of Intel chips is in China. !
When placed on a domestic computer, the Tianji chip is equivalent to a computer, and the cost can be directly reduced by about 3,000 yuan. The price of a 15,000 yuan machine can be reduced to 12,000 yuan or 8,000 yuan. The price of mid-range computers is expected to drop to 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of a motorcycle.
A computer worth RMB 5,000 in today's China is equivalent to three months' salary for a dual-income family. This allows many families to grit their teeth and buy one for their own work or for their children's education. , the potential users of domestic computers will increase exponentially!
Of course, these are all theoretical, and no one can be sure what the real situation will be.
But there is one thing that both the media and the computer industry have agreed upon. That is, starting from Tianji News, domestic computer prices will be reduced!
……
“The latest news from Yanjing Daily, Founder Computer announced that it will purchase 5,000 Tianji chips from Dongxin Semiconductor, and the total order value may exceed 20 million yuan!
< br>This is the first third-party computer company in the domestic computer industry to officially announce the purchase of Tianji chips. Founder Group President Zhang Yufeng declared that Founder is committed to domestic brands and will not change its original intention.”
“Following Founder! , Great Wall, Tongfang, Inspur and other well-known domestic computer brands have also announced that they will purchase Tianji chips from Dongxin Semiconductor!
In addition, TCL, Haier, Hisense and other manufacturers interested in entering the computer industry have also issued statements that they will purchase Tianji from Dongxin Semiconductor to develop their own computer brands! ”
The current routine in the computer industry is that everyone imports parts from overseas and then assembles and OEMs them. Is it difficult to save a computer?
Haier, Hisense, and TCL have long been eyeing the computer industry. They have made huge profits. This time they just used an excuse to enter the computer industry.
Of course, the reason they used it is just and honest. They bought Tianji chips from Dongxin and built a machine, which is not as good as some computers using Intel chips. , the proportion of domestic ancestry is high, the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother, everyone is just half-hearted.
"Many computer mall dealers have declared that they are looking forward to cooperating with computer brands equipped with Tianji chips! ”
"Lianxiang missed Academician Ni Guangnan and lost the opportunity to develop the first domestic chip!"
"Bang!" Boss Liu at Yanjing Lianxiang headquarters impatiently threw the newspaper in his hand on the table , the content above made him angrier and angrier.
Some media, in particular, began to settle old scores and uncovered old news that Ni Guangnan was kicked out of Lianxiang.
When the media reported this incident, they reported it from the perspective of Lian Xiang and Boss Liu. It was Ni Guangnan who wanted to leave, and it had nothing to do with Lian Xiang. Moreover, it was unrealistic to develop domestic chips. Ni Guangnan would put Lian Xiang away. Dragging into the quagmire and so on.
But now, regardless of what they reported back then, the media began to secretly ridicule Boss Liu. He had no tolerance for others, had no vision, and missed the opportunity to develop the first domestic chip.
“These pretentious guys think they can surpass Lianxiang with a broken chip?”
“Idiots!”
“And those computer dealers Shang is really a loser. He promised Lian Xiang before, but now he has betrayed him!”
Boss Liu’s table banged, making all the executives in front of him even think about it. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of offending Boss Liu because of his loud breathing.
Not only was he angry at his friend for backstabbing, he was even more angry at the media for their various sarcastic reports about him. But at this time, he couldn't refute it. The media were now siding with Ni Guangnan and would not listen to his explanation at all. No explanation!
“The question now is, should we also issue a statement to purchase a batch of Tianji chips from Dongxin?”
Lian Xiang, the head of the purchasing department, asked Boss Liu with a headache .
Don’t worry about computer brands like Founder, Great Wall, Tongfang, Inspur, and dealers such as Computer Mall. Do you really want to use Tianji, or just make a show of it? At least the show is done.
People have already made a statement and have adopted a mentality of supporting domestic chips. Don’t worry about whether they are taking advantage of the popularity and taking the opportunity to advertise their own brand.
Unexpectedly, after the advertisement for Founder's purchase of Tianji chips came out today, it created a wave of popularity for Founder. Today, in Yanjing and other places, the stores and counters selling Fuzheng computers were full of people, and they spent 20 million on the advertisement. It’s definitely worth it!
The embarrassing thing now is that Lian Xiang and his colleagues have already expressed their opinions, leaving Lian Xiang alone, being stuck there.
Back then, I thought that in order to prevent Donglin High-tech from entering the computer industry, the anti-Dongli High-tech alliance was formed with great effort, just like the Maginot Line formed by France during World War II. It was defeated by Donglin before it was used. Gao Ke pierced it with a light poke.
“By placing an order, we can change the public opinion and avoid the war with Donglin Hi-Tech?”
Boss Liu sneered and said, he knew clearly, The problem now is no longer whether Lian Xiangcai purchases Tianji chips.
It is a war between Lianxiang, Intel, Samsung, Maxtor, Seagate, Toshiba, Sharp and other overseas parts companies that provide parts for Lianxiang, and the self-contained Donglin Hi-Tech!
Unless you want to give up purchasing parts from overseas, give up your current market, status, sales, and revenue, then completely bow to Donglin Hi-Tech and purchase secrets from Dongxin Semiconductor, then you will give up to Donglin in the future. If Gaoke is the younger brother, maybe the war can be eliminated.
However, this method of recruiting soldiers to become immortals is different from self-destruction. No one can easily give up the power, status, and wealth in their hands until they are at the end of their rope. It is impossible to do this even if they think about it!
The other option is to give up on Donglin Hi-Tech and admit defeat, but is it possible? Now even if Donglin wants to give up the chip business, there is a group of people, including major domestic weapons research and development companies, who will not give up. The single seedling of Dongxin fell down.
“What’s Intel’s attitude? Are they willing to supply new chips to Lianxiang?”
Boss Liu asked. After knowing that it was impossible to reconcile with Dongling Hi-Tech, Boss Liu understood that for Lian Xiang, the only way to go was in trouble.
What is the most direct way to suppress Dongling Hi-tech’s Shenzhou computer equipped with Tianji? Of course, it is to ask Intel, Samsung, Seagate, Sharp and other manufacturers to supply Lianxiang’s latest chips and other components. Components, surpassing Shenzhou Computer in performance!
“Intel agreed to supply Lianxiang with a Pentium upgrade, a 450-nanometer chip!”
Guo Wei said that after Intel launched the first-generation Pentium chip, its technology and process , is constantly being upgraded. The latest Pentium chip has been upgraded from 600 nanometers to 350 nanometers.
The second generation Pentium chip is rumored to be a 250nm chip and is also the world's top chip.
But obviously, Lianxiang is not Intel's highest priority partner. Even if Lianxiang has reached this point, Intel is still squeezing out toothpaste and is only willing to provide 450-nanometer chips, not even 350-nanometer chips.
“However,” Guo Wei continued when he saw Boss Liu, whose expression was not very good, “Intel said that in addition to Wei Lianxiang supplying a 450nm chip that can surpass Tianji.
Intel announced that it will also reduce the price of 600-nanometer chips. No matter how much Tianji prices, Intel’s 586 Pentium chip will be 15 US dollars lower than Tianji’s price!”
Hearing this, Boss Liu's tense face finally relaxed. He knew that Intel still had to solve its future problems and compete with Dongxin in the domestic market!
