Chapter 373: Combine vertically and horizontally?

In the business technology circle of this planet, Pingguo is indeed an out-and-out leader. Its profitable projects are not only smartphones, but also tablets, computers, smart watches, and software business commissions. and many other projects.

The market value even exceeded 2 trillion US dollars.

A behemoth, a technological enterprise empire that is more powerful than an ordinary small country.

At this time, the leaders of the empire were gathering to smoke.

Ahem.

Cook is smoking too.

Recently - Pingguo's mobile phone sales have not been good. At the end of last year, he was accused of concealing the decline in iPhone demand and sales in the summer, causing investors to lose billions of dollars, and shareholders even launched a lawsuit against him. Class action lawsuit.

Although everything was handled smoothly in the end, there is no doubt that there is a force within the company that is dissatisfied with the work he has done in recent years.

Even though the air conditioner is constantly changing the air, there are too many people smoking and the smog is too much. Some people really can’t stand it: “We are here to discuss solutions, not to smoke meat. .”

Hearing this, Cook picked up the cigar and cut off the end of the cigar, and then said: "Tell us about the product that Suiren Company is about to release."

A group of big guys are looking at you I, I look at you, although I have thousands of words in my heart, but no one dares to speak.

And those who were still smoking took a few puffs and hid their faces in the smoke.

When the atmosphere was a little stagnant, someone still stood up.

This is a man with a prominent hooked nose. He snorted coldly, and then said: "I installed Jiuzhou Technology's ecological products in a villa in London. It can be said that in terms of experience, Its level of convenience, thoughtfulness and intelligence far exceeds that of Pingguo. It is reported that , most of Suiren's products are OEM or OEM products from Jiuzhou Technology, plus SR1 glasses and that chip, I think if Xia Xin Technology catches up with the chip OEM process, then we will be in the lead There will be no advantage at all in the field of product technology.”

This is a bit harsh, but some people here thought of the Jiaolong X1 they got last year, and secretly sighed in their hearts: "Why does Jiuzhou Technology not accept investment? Alas."

What? Do you want Pingguo to keep up with the pace and do it better than Jiuzhou Technology?

How many resources will be invested in this, and it is not sure whether it can defeat the opponent...

The weakness of capital is like this. If it can be solved with money, then everything will be easy.

This person started talking, and someone else followed him and said: "Actually, we don't think that Suiren Company's products will be launched across the board, which will squeeze our market share, but except for our Pingguo, Will relevant companies in Daxia and Europe be willing to give up their share to others? If we can join forces, we may be able to restrict Jiuzhou Technology with patents and agreements, just like Xia Wei cannot let TSMC manufacture chips for it now. "

This proposal moved many people.

But sensible people have pointed out the problem: "Patents and agreements are useful, but we may not be able to unite companies that are sufficiently restrictive to Jiuzhou Technology. It is closely related to major companies such as Xia Wei, Gerry, and Xia Xin cooperate with each other and have development, design, Manufacturing capabilities, and now the attitude of relevant departments in Daxia has become clear. If we dare to proactively contact other companies to target companies in Daxia, I think our business in Daxia may also encounter things that no one wants to see. .”

Gulu.

Everyone here is reluctant to part with the Daxia Market... Since they are reluctant to part with it, they cannot offend it.

As a great Xia Tong, Cook also closed his eyes at this time.

Suiren Company is the product of the cooperation between Xia Wei and Jiuzhou Technology. If Pingguo dares to play tricks overtly or covertly, I am afraid that he will really be criticized...

But he is not passive. people, so Cook opened the folder and said: "We can no longer rely on Intel on the computer side. No matter how good Xiaxin Technology is, it can only OEM 7 nm process chips, and TSMC has already made breakthroughs in the direction of 5nm to 3nm. Since Jiuzhou Technology uses stacked chips to achieve performance breakthroughs, we can also develop in the future, and Jiuzhou Technology competes with us for share in the mid-to-high-end, Daxia domestic Are companies like Rice and Opo willing to watch their competitors rise?"

Ah!

At the same time, the headquarters of Yanjing Rice Company.

"Suiren Company has brought together the high-end technical capabilities of Xia Wei and Jiuzhou Technology. It can be seen from the pricing of mobile phones that they mainly want to capture the mid-to-high-end mobile phone market after the collapse of Korean stars, and the SR1 glasses are aimed at Microsoft and Google. AR glasses, I think our rice is more It should be noted that the ecological household products released by Suiren Company are priced lower than those of Jiuzhou Technology products. This is an important blow to our rice ecology. ”

“And if. We hate Jiuzhou Technology, then we will Perhaps it can only be circulated by Qualcomm and MediaTek, and the Chenxing S11 chip displayed at its press conference, we have also seen low-end products in the Jiuzhou technology community. In fact, I think this is an opportunity for us. , if we can combine Jiuzhou Science If we get the mid-range chips from this technology, we may be able to make it a truly domestic mobile phone. As long as we market it properly, we won’t have to worry about the sales of mobile phones in the future.”

The veteran’s words were almost a targeted rebuttal. Lei Jun’s previous decision at Jiuzhou Technology Headquarters.

Lei Jun pursed his lips.

Doesn't he know the chip fragrance of Jiuzhou Technology?

Of course he knows.

Does Rice dare to use Jiuzhou Technology’s chips in large quantities? Not to mention Jiuzhou Technology's chips, even if you use MediaTek's chips, you have to think twice before arranging some production capacity.

If you don’t stick to Qualcomm, will Qualcomm be willing to give rice the first batch of high-end chips in the future?

And now that the situation is changing, it is too risky to finally hold on to Qualcomm's thigh and look for others.

He thought about it again and again, and then said: "Xia Xin Technology's 7nm process production capacity is not very large. It must supply Jiuzhou Technology and Xia Wei, as well as some special orders. Moreover, the investment in this process production line is more than 10 billion, and one year There won't be much improvement in two years.
And we must have a stable supply of mid-to-high-end chips, so it is not suitable to accept Jiuzhou Technology’s chip production capacity before it is ramped up.”

Lei Jun couldn’t help but think carefully, just because of attending the meeting. Among them are former Qualcomm executives.

Rice’s management are all big guys with impressive resumes, and they are also the guarantee for the stability of the rice supply chain.

But now, this stability has become a shackles for rice, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.

Some more rational executives said: "This is the case at this stage, but in the long run, Jiuzhou Technology's technical reserves are definitely ahead of Qualcomm. As long as Xiaxin Technology's foundry process can be improved to a higher level, I'm afraid..."
