Chapter 595 Everyone wants to be a hunter
In order to maintain its dominance in the domestic chip market, Intel continues to use domestic chips as its dumping ground, so it will certainly not allow other challengers to appear.
Now Dongxin Semiconductor is nothing to Intel and cannot be called a strong enemy at all. Intel is ready to directly strangle Dongxin. The most useful method is of course a price war!
Intel only needs to adjust the pricing power of 600nm Pentium chips. As long as Tianji chips cannot be sold in China and Dongxin is in huge losses, Intel will make a profit!
The Intel empire dominates the global chip market and has dozens of series of chip products. For Intel, the domestic market is just a "corner".
In addition to the first-generation Pentium chips, Intel also has a variety of upgraded chips. It will launch the second-generation Pentium chips next year. It doesn't care whether an old chip will lose money or make a profit.
In the eyes of the Intel empire, if an old chip from a corner can compete with Dongxin, just using old chips and engaging in a price war can crush Dongxin Semiconductor.
Using an old chip to strangle Dongxin Semiconductor in the cradle is a great deal for Intel!
As long as Dongxin is killed, the chip market in China will still belong to Intel.
After winning Dongxin, the domestic self-developed chips that had just begun to gain momentum have basically been blown away by the wind and rain. It will be extremely difficult to turn around again. It will be at least ten years in the future. No domestic company dares to challenge Intel's authority in the chip field!
After hearing that Intel was going to engage in a price war and reduce dimensionality to attack Dongxin Semiconductor, Boss Liu finally showed a look of relief on his face.
If Intel really sells the first-generation Pentium chip at a price that is fifteen dollars cheaper than Tianji in China, will Tianji still be able to sell it?
Don't look at it now. Computer manufacturers such as Founder are clamoring to support domestic chips, but if they really purchase chips on a large scale, it depends on whether they purchase Pentiums with reduced prices or Tianji!
Intel is competing with Dongxin, and Tianji is facing off against Pentium. For companies such as Lianxiang, there is too much room for maneuver.
With the entrance of Intel, the pressure on Lian Xiang was immediately reduced a lot. Now facing Tanglin Hi-Tech alone, Lian Xiang is still under great pressure.
But with the support of overseas parts suppliers such as Intel, Lianxiang immediately became more confident. Moreover, as the two companies fought, chip prices dropped, and Lianxiang's profits from selling machines naturally increased.
For a moment, Boss Liu suddenly felt that the secret chip that appeared was not all bad news. The snipe and the clam were fighting, and even thinking about it would make the fishermen gain!
“What is the attitude of other suppliers?” Boss Liu asked Guo Wei and other confidants.
“We are all still waiting and watching!”
Guo Wei talked about his feelings after contacting the domestic office executives of Intel, Sharp, Samsung and other suppliers.
"Samsung and other overseas manufacturers are still evaluating how much impact the Shenzhou Computer developed by Donglin Hi-Tech will have on the domestic computer industry!
If Shenzhou Computer really affects Samsung, Sharp, Seagate and other overseas companies, Manufacturers, with their market share and revenue in the domestic computer industry, they will definitely take action
But it would be difficult for them to fully support Lianxiang now..."
To put it bluntly, Samsung manufacturers are now unwilling to cut prices for Lianxiang's components, nor do they want to directly supply the most advanced components.
After all, in the past, you could make a lot of money in China by using old models or spare parts in stock. If you are used to making money, you are not willing to cut the meat.
"Short-sighted!"
"Shu Zi is short-sighted. They are feeding a tiger into danger. If the Shenzhou computer really comes up, it will be too late for them to regret it!"
Boss Liu listened. Come on, the Samsung manufacturers that supply parts to Lianxiang are still waiting and watching, and they can't help but complain angrily.
Opponents know their opponents best. Which company in China has the deepest research on Dongling Hi-Tech? Boss Liu is definitely one of them.
Over the years, Boss Liu has become familiar with the history and experience of Dongling Hi-Tech, but the more he studied, the more frightened he became.
In fact, anyone who faces an opponent who has never made a "wrong" step will probably be under great pressure. If this time it continues the past practice and Donglin Hi-Tech is right, then who is wrong?
To deal with a company like Dongling Hi-Tech that does not take the usual path and cannot use common sense, Boss Liu feels that it must be beaten to death with a stick and must not drag its feet, otherwise, once the other party is allowed to slow down, With that tone, an accident might really happen.
“You shouldn’t delay, otherwise things will change!”
Yang Yuanqing also frowned and said. He knew that Samsung and those companies were unreliable, but he never expected that at this juncture, they would still Even thinking about cutting leeks, they were unwilling to fully support Lian Xianglai in dealing with Tanglin Hi-Tech.
This made Yang Yuanqing a little worried. If this happens at a critical moment, with the capabilities of companies like Intel, Samsung, and Sharp, can they really be relied on?
"No matter what Intel and Samsung think, they must make sure plans even if they think about it!"
"Keep an eye on Shenzhou. The high-end computer brand market must be defended. The mid- and low-end computer brand market must be guarded." Suppress the opponent, and if necessary, implement a price reduction strategy!"
Boss Liu explained that he is planning to build two lines of defense for Lian Xiang. The first line of defense is the most profitable high-end computer brand, Lian Xiang. Be on guard and don't let Shenzhou Computer go too far!
Then they use mid- to low-end computers, fight with Donglin Hi-Tech, and stare at Shenzhou Computer. Even if there is a big price war, Shenzhou Computer will not be easy. A two-pronged approach, coupled with Intel, Samsung, Sharp, etc., are engaging in price wars with Dongxin Semiconductor, Dongfang Optoelectronics, etc. in the chip, memory stick, screen and other industries.
Boss Liu believes that this strategy of dividing the troops into ten groups and surrounding Dongling High-tech will make Dongling High-tech exhausted and defend everywhere. Sooner or later, Dongling High-tech will be brought down!
"As long as Lianxiang cooperates well with Intel and other companies, Tanglin Hi-Tech will definitely fail miserably in the computer industry!
By then, the world will know that I have worked hard, and they will know, Why didn’t I suggest developing computer chips in the first place?”
Boss Liu said with an expression of disillusionment, “Even if Lao Ni is lucky enough to develop a few domestic chips
But looking at the huge gap between the domestic and overseas semiconductor industries, it will take fifty years of hard work to catch up. It is like a century-old war. Can a temporary tactical success change the overall strategic situation? "
"Even if companies such as Intel and Seagate are angered, those overseas companies will stop supplying parts to the country, which will destroy domestic computers.
By then, the domestic computer industry, which has just improved, will The opportunity for development may be completely lost. Only then will people see clearly who is the sinner of the domestic computer industry!”
Boss Liu showed his compassion for others and endured the humiliation for the future of the domestic computer industry.
According to Boss Liu’s opinion, there is no right or wrong between him and Dongling. Of course, if Dongling Hi-Tech launches Shenzhou Computer, will it threaten Lianxiang and affect Lianxiang’s revenue? , that's another thing...
However, in Boss Liu's eyes, Lian Xiang and Tanglin Hi-Tech are just taking an undesirable route. Of course he doesn't think that Lian Xiang will go the wrong way!
Boss Liu does not want the domestic computer industry to be too radical and start developing self-developed chips at the outset. Instead, he wants to take things slowly and not fall out with Intel and other companies, let alone offend them.
With the support of Intel and other companies, we must use orders, markets, foreign exchange, etc. in exchange for Intel's technical support. When the time comes, the replacement of the old with the new will naturally be completed.
As for when Intel will teach domestic apprentices real skills, it will take time. Anyway, it has been almost forty years in the previous life, and overseas component suppliers such as Samsung, Intel, AMD, and Nvidia have not taught them Domestic companies are really technical, but they strictly guard against all kinds of technology, for fear that the country will learn it.
Lianxiang's chassis technology is outstanding. After all, with forty years of chassis skills, this punch is truly unrivaled...
The domestic chip industry is undergoing a sudden change, and the news broadcast over there is , broke shocking rumors, and announced the news of the Tianji chip to the country.
Then came Founder and other computer brands. Xiangdongxin placed orders for a total of more than 20,000 Tianji chips. The Tianji chips that have not yet started mass production have a total pre-sale volume approaching 90 million yuan, and the unit price is close to 4,500 yuan!
For a chip that has not yet been put on the market and whose performance only exists in paper data, it can be said to be a huge hit if it can get such orders and pre-sales.
At this point, everyone in the computer industry, scientific research industry, or media industry is quite optimistic about Tianji chips.
If Tianji is born, orders can be paid back, or even make a profit, then the domestic chip industry will have the opportunity to rise in the country in the future. After all, only when an industry makes money will more people flock to it. enter!
But at this moment, the Hong Kong city media reprinted a report from the Asahi Shimbun, which immediately silenced the domestic media who were still touting the Tianji chip.
"Intel Asia Pacific Director Gregory declared in an interview that in order to cope with the challenges that may be faced in the Asia-Pacific region, Intel will make price adjustments for some chips!
This includes the first-generation 600nm Pentium The price of chips will be reduced by 30% next month, and it is expected that there will be multiple price reduction plans within the next six months to make them more competitive in markets such as mainland China.
Gregory claimed that in the future. It is not ruled out that the price of this chip will be more price-advantageous than the Tianji chip that was just rumored to be developed by Dongxin Semiconductor in mainland China!”
The Asahi Shimbun, the news that broke out, is very informative, and it is obviously also that of Intel! On the other hand, the news that was deliberately released almost pointed at Dongxin Semiconductor and said that Intel was specifically targeting Dongxin Semiconductor.
In addition to lowering the price of Pentium's first-generation chips and entering into a price war with Tianji, Gregory also said in the interview that he would provide Intel's partners in mainland China with 450-nanometer chips, and even 250-nanometer chips next year. Nano's second-generation Pentium chip does not exclude mainland China as one of the first launch regions.
This is obviously to intimidate Dongxin Semiconductor, and also to tell Dongxin that it is all in vain. Intel's weapon kaleidoscope has only been used now, and its trump card weapon has not been used yet.
Intel is showing off its skills in Chiguoguo. It is not only intimidating Dongxin, but also knocking down other companies in Asia that want to enter the semiconductor industry, such as Samsung, SK, LG, Hyundai and Singapore. Japanese benzene companies, etc., let them all be honest!
