Chapter 598: Only by letting go can you cut more
Shenzhou Computer has not been developed yet, and it is too early to talk about sales. But as long as the sales of Shenzhou Computer can exceed expectations, then Microsoft can completely Not excited?
Entering the computer industry has been Microsoft's long-cherished wish for many years. If the sales of Shenzhou computers meet expectations, it would not be a bad idea for Microsoft to sell Shenzhou computers as an agent in America in the name of joint research and development!
To boil a frog in warm water, Microsoft first sold computers as an agent to test the reaction of the computer industry in America, and then tried to launch its own brand of computers. It all came naturally. Anyway, Tanglin Hi-Tech has a production line, and it is just a brand. thing.
In the previous life, Microsoft was a frog in warm water and slowly entered the computer industry. Major computer manufacturers could not do anything to Microsoft. It was just that Microsoft was a good player in software, but it was really slow in hardware, and computer sales were sluggish. .
And now, Tanglin Hi-tech has pulled Microsoft into the game and let it enter the game early and act as a troublemaker for the computer industry. How will the overseas computer industry react?
With Microsoft, the public enemy of the industry, attracting firepower, the pressure on Donglin Hi-Tech can be reduced. Otherwise, Donglin Hi-Tech will be under too much pressure if it fights alone.
As for Microsoft selling computers, to be honest, whether it makes a profit or loses money from selling computers is not that important to it. It needs gimmicks and concepts.
Just like in the previous life when selling game consoles, we lost more than 10 billion US dollars, but as long as the stock price rises and rises sharply, the board of directors and Wall Street investment institutions will get their money back!
But when the time comes, once Microsoft enters the computer industry, can the alliance with Intel be maintained?
In other words, Intel is facing a problem: should it continue to maintain the Microsoft-Intel alliance and supply chips for Microsoft's computers?
If Intel supplies chips to Microsoft, how will Intel face a large number of computer manufacturers such as HP, Dell, and Compaq? You must know that these computer companies are mortal enemies of Microsoft, and they are more defensive against Microsoft than against Sichuan.
Intel's supply to Microsoft means that it will become a competitor with Dell and HP. Will computer manufacturers such as HP still purchase chips from Intel in the future?
If we do not supply chips to Microsoft, the Microsoft-Intel alliance will basically fall apart. Without the special optimization support of Microsoft systems, what is the difference between Intel chips, AMD and Dongxin?
The reason why Intel is so domineering now is that it can hit others, but others cannot hit it. But if its home base is stolen, can Intel still be so domineering?
In the past few years, Intel has tormented Dongxin, but Tanglin Hi-Tech has to settle this debt with it once. It cannot be in vain. It has tormented Dongxin in China, and Dongxin is disgusting Intel in America, and it cannot let it go anyway. It's getting better!
After hearing Li Dongling's words, Ni Guangnan planned to sell Dongxin's goods to America in the future to launch a counterattack for Intel. It is certainly impossible to say that Ni Guangnan had no expectations.
Although he felt that he didn’t know if he would see this day in his lifetime, but...what if, if the chip he designed was actually sold to America, then his career would still be lost. Anyone who has a status in the world will rise to an unimaginable position in the domestic technology industry. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the founder of a sect!
“Not only computer chips, Tanglin Hi-Tech Mobile Phone Business Department is developing a new 2G mobile phone. Compared with the current PHS mobile phone and other mobile phones, it needs to add many new functions.< br>
I need Dongxin to help develop a mobile phone chip for this phone! ”
Li Dongling said to Wu Xinyi, Ni Guangnan and others that he came here not only to stabilize Dongxin's military morale and avoid the influence of public opinion, but also to allow Dongxin to increase Tianji's production capacity and Ni Guangnan to continue to develop the second-generation Tianji chip.
The most important thing is for Dongxin Semiconductor to develop chips that can support the new mobile phone functions for Donglin Hi-tech's new generation mobile phones.
After launching the PHS mobile phone, Tanglin Hi-Tech also launched some "new products" this year, but they basically changed the shell, changed the ringtone, or added some small functions, which are essentially the same as the first generation Compared with PHS, it is still a different medicine but not a different soup.
That is to say, the GSM and CDMA mobile phones of other brands such as Nokia now also have few functions. In terms of functions, they are not much different from PHS. Users will definitely use it when they do not have much choice. Give priority to PHS phones that are cheap and have cheap phone bills.
This year, the sales of Donglin Hi-tech's PHS mobile phones continue to explode. Although the domestic PHS price war is fierce, relying on overseas markets, Donglin Hi-Tech's PHS sales have still increased significantly this year.
But PHS has no way to access the Internet. Its Internet access function is not impossible to develop, but it will take time. In addition, the base station also needs to be upgraded. But after this whole set, it is estimated that six or seven years have passed, but even if it is upgraded, PHS can still Keep your phone bill advantage?
In addition, will mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia, Motorola, Sony, Ericsson, and Samsung give PHS time to upgrade?
The current advantages of PHS will become its disadvantages in the future. On the contrary, expensive GSM and CDMA base stations will be able to play their advantages in the future. Nothing is perfect in this world. .
For Tanglin Hi-Tech, what we have to do is to prepare for the future and prepare for the post-PHS mobile phone era.
It is definitely impossible for Dongling Hi-tech to go all the way with PHS. On the contrary, next year, or at the latest the beginning of the next year, Li Dongling is going to cash out the PHS phone!
As for selling the PHS to someone who has Yuan, no, it is a destined person, then it depends on who bids the highest. Li Dongling is prepared to make all the profits of the PHS in the next ten or even fifteen years. Got it.
This requires selling the PHS mobile phone business at its peak period without making the last profit. Li Dongling does not want Dongling Hi-Tech to accompany PHS to the bottom. Sometimes it is time to let go , you have to let go, only by giving up can you earn more...
But Wu Xinyi, Ni Guangnan, and Huang Lingyi were shocked when they heard this. They all knew that the PHS business was very important to Dong Dong. The importance of Dongling Hi-Tech. The explosive growth of Dongling Hi-Tech's performance last year was all dependent on PHS mobile phones.
PHS sales are extremely hot in China this year. Basically, for every five phones sold, four are PHS phones. It is simply making money while lying down.
Now, Li Dongling actually wants to start over again and develop a mobile phone that is completely independent of PHS. The amount of information in it is so large that they are all a little stunned. Wu Xinyi wanted to ask where the PHS mobile phone would go in the future, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
When it comes to a business like PHS, which is like a magic tool for attracting money, if Dongling Hi-Tech has something to do, it will definitely not be a small one, and it cannot be revealed in advance.
Wu Xinyi thought for a while and said, "I will set up a new mobile phone chip research and development team to cooperate with the Dongling High-Tech Department to develop qualified chips!"
"We We will also fully support the research and development of new mobile phone chips. !”
Ni Guangnan also said that Dongxin Semiconductor has been so supportive of it and helped him realize his wish for many years, making him the top scientific research expert in the country. Now that Li Dongling has made a request, he can’t refuse it at all. , had to help develop it.
"Dr. Lin, how is the progress at the Dongxin chip production base now?"
Li Dongling asked Lin Sijian sitting at the other end of the conference room.
“Not bad!”
When Lin Sijian mentioned this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he glanced at Ni Guangnan, “Thanks to Academician Ni and Professor Huang for launching the Tianji chip, now Walden International and Goldman Sachs are very supportive of the chip factory!”
The happiest thing about Dongxin’s self-developed Tianji chip is that it invested in Dongxin’s Hanxi chip factory! Walden International and Goldman Sachs.
These two companies really didn't expect that Dongxin could hold back the big move of Tianji Chip. They didn't care whether Intel was happy or not. Anyway, they knew that the chip factory they invested in might be very profitable in the future!
Goldman Sachs and Walden International have their own information channels in China. They don’t read those media reports at all. They know clearly that after Tianji is developed, it will be difficult for Dongxin to fall. As long as they can accept Orders from domestic weapons companies are enough to sustain Dongxin for many years.
"Walden International and Goldman Sachs, in recent days, have helped Dongxin Hanxi Chip Factory to bring some chip production equipment from America, and also invited several people to help Intel and Texas Instruments build chips Engineers from the factory are here!”
Lin Sijian said with a smile, there are two young men from Goldman Sachs and Walden, who are acting as internal agents in America. Even now that the Wassenaar Agreement has appeared, these two companies still have a steady flow of money. Help Dongxin transport various equipment from overseas.
Now Wu Xinyi and Lin Sijian have to admit that Li Dongling's decision to attract Goldman Sachs and Walden International to invest in the Dongxin Hanxi chip factory was a wise choice.
"Zhang Ailun, the representative stationed in Hanxi sent by Goldman Sachs, wants to meet with you, Mr. Li!" Lin Sijian said to Li Dongling.
Since Zhang Ailun came to Hanxi on behalf of Goldman Sachs, he has been very active. Zhang Ailun even made a trip to see if Dongling Hi-tech's industry in Hanxi was allowed to be displayed to the outside world. , to say that he did not come for Donglin Hi-Tech, no one would believe it.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Dongling nodded. Dongling Hi-tech has needed the support of Goldman Sachs in recent years. Just like this time, the Dongxin Hanxi Chip Factory has the support of Goldman Sachs. The impact of the Senna Agreement will be much smaller.
It is true that Goldman Sachs loves the U.S. dollar and has a very dark heart, but it is so bold that it will do anything for the U.S. dollar, including reselling some equipment. For Goldman Sachs, it is not a problem at all. Anyway, America is The gentlemen on Capitol Hill don’t dare to do anything to Goldman Sachs.
Li Dongling stayed at Dongxin Semiconductor Company for a long time and paid a large bonus to the R&D teams of Ni Guangnan and Huang Lingyi.
I walked around the Dongxin Hanxi Chip Factory, which was still under construction, and then rushed to the place agreed with Zhang Ailun.
