Chapter 787 Centipede, dead but not stiff
"It's Lianxiang that's in trouble, not Intel!"
Jim Garrett said to Boss Liu impatiently that he did not want Intel to be tied to Lianxiang in mainland China. That would not be good news for Intel.
Intel has many choices in mainland China. They can cooperate with a number of computer manufacturers such as Great Wall, Inspur, and Founder, and are not limited to Lianxiang.
When Boss Liu heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Although he even wanted to seek help from these foreign manufacturers, with Boss Liu's status and influence in the country today, Samsung, Maxtor, Toshiba, Sharp and other manufacturers , after coming to China, when facing Boss Liu, he had to be respectful.
Moreover, Boss Liu has long been dissatisfied with Jim Garrett, the president of Intel mainland.
In the past few years, Garrett had been supplying Intel's old chips to Lianxiang and cutting leeks in China, so that was it. There were no rivals at that time, and junk computers with any kind of chips could be sold. out.
But now, there are rivals like Donglin Hi-Tech. Garrett still wants to use Sosou as a tool for Lianxiang, and is unwilling to supply the most advanced chips to Lianxiang. As a result, the performance of Lianxiang's machine is actually incomparable. Shenzhou.
Moreover, if Intel had dealt with Dongxin Semiconductor like a lion fighting a rabbit from the beginning, where would there be so many bad things?
This time Lian Xiang was at a disadvantage against Shenzhou. Boss Liu felt that he had something to do with Garrett!
"Even thinking about today's troubles, I'm afraid it has something to do with President Garrett!
As a partner, Lianxiang has already warned you that Shenzhou Computer and Dongxin Semiconductor may bring trouble to our cooperation, but President Garrett has never paid attention to Lianxiang's reminder! ”
Hearing that Boss Liu had lifted this fig leaf in front of so many people, Garrett's face showed a look of embarrassment and anger for a moment.
"With the same level of chip performance, even Lenovo's computer operation performance, smoothness, user experience, and after-sales service are inferior to those of Shenzhou Computer. Is this a problem with Intel chips?" Garrett immediately retorted.
But in terms of bickering and experience in office struggles, how could Garrett be Boss Liu's opponent?
"If it's just that Lian Xiang is not as good as Shenzhou, then of course it's Lian Xiang's problem.
But in the mainland market, not to mention the computers of mainland brands such as Great Wall and Inspur equipped with Intel chips, even computers such as Compaq and Dell are not as good as Shenzhou computers in performance. So whose problem is it? ”
Hearing what Boss Liu said, Garrett was stunned and speechless for a moment.
He can say that Lianxiang's technology is not up to par, but he can also say that Compaq, the world's largest computer shipper, and other computer manufacturers that use Intel chips are not up to date on technology and can't use Intel chips?
"We are here today to solve the problem, not to raise an army to hold people accountable!"
Seeing that Garrett was defeated, Chen Weidi on the side opened his mouth to act as a peacemaker. Intel just wanted to take advantage of it, but did not want to disrupt the negotiation.
If they didn't want this negotiation and didn't want to solve Intel's troubles in mainland China, powerful people like Gregory wouldn't come here at all.
"By helping mainland computer manufacturers and Lianxiang, you are helping Intel itself!" Boss Liu said to Gregory.
There is another sentence that Boss Liu did not say, but everyone at Intel understands it clearly, that is, if Intel does not help Lianxiang, then Lianxiang’s flag falls, wouldn’t it tell the entire Asian computer manufacturers that Are Intel chips unreliable?
In the future, those computer manufacturers who will gather around Intel are afraid that they will have to change careers one after another.
"What's Mr. Liu's plan?"
After being silent for a while, Gregory finally asked.
After Boss Liu and his confidants looked at each other for a few times, Yang Yuanqing, who was in charge of the Lianxiang computer supply chain and was also a nominal director of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association, spoke out.
“Mainland computer manufacturers hope that the quota of computer chips that Intel will supply to the mainland in the future will be allocated by the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Council!”
Lian Xiang wants to use this trick because he wants the right to distribute Intel chips in the mainland market. That is, when Intel chips come to China, whichever company the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association gives them can use them!
In fact, this is to draw more computer manufacturers into the camp of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association, which can not only fight against Shenzhou Computer, but also avoid the development of Dongxin Semiconductor.
Of course, correspondingly, even if Lian Xiang and Boss Liu pass through the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association, their power will increase a lot.
“In addition, we hope that Intel can provide the most advanced Pentium second-generation 350-nanometer chips to members of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association.
The remaining chips above 450 nanometers can reduce the supply price, so that the computers of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association can have sufficient advantages in the mainland! ”
Hearing Yang Yuanqing's words, Garrett couldn't help but sneered, "It's better to give Intel chips to you!"
Boss Liu was not ready to continue arguing with Garrett, but looked at Gregory, "I just said, helping the Continental Manufacturers Association is helping Intel itself!"
"If the members of the Mainland Manufacturers Association lose and the mainland's computer market is taken away by Shenzhou Computer, do you think Intel can still hold on to the mainland's chip market?!
Even more broadly, can Intel still hold on to the Asian chip market? "When Gregory heard Boss Liu's words, his expression became very solemn. The requirements put forward by the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association are not low. They not only require the supply of the most advanced chips, but also require Intel to keep the chip prices down. It can almost be said that Yes, we must completely change Intel's strategy in mainland China.
So, should Intel follow the suggestions of mainland computer manufacturers? !
In the short term, there is definitely no need to worry about whether Intel will lose the mainland chip market. Dongxin Semiconductor cannot threaten Intel in the high-end chip market alone. So for Intel, the mainland market cannot do without it!
But if Dongxin Semiconductor is really left alone, it’s hard to say what the future will be like.
Furthermore, Intel has a bunch of rivals in Asia, and Nippon Semiconductor has not been beaten yet. Among the top ten chip manufacturers in the world, Nippon Semiconductor includes NEC, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Fujitsu!
Since taking office, Gregory, Intel's Asia-Pacific director, has had the most important purpose of fighting with the Japanese chip manufacturers and grabbing orders from the Japanese chip manufacturers!
If there are changes in the mainland chip market that affect the pattern of Intel chips in other Asian markets, it may be a small loss.
Furthermore, if you can't even deal with an opponent like Dongxin Semiconductor, which is "not mainstream" in the global chip industry, how can you deal with opponents such as Toshiba and AMD!
"I can convey the demands of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association to Intel headquarters and Mr. Grove.
However, I want to know, if Intel agrees to the request of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association, whether the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association can do everything Mr. Liu said! "Gregory asked Boss Liu.
"If Intel can do all this, I think, wait until next year, we will see the results!
I have received definite news that Dongxin Semiconductor's next-generation chip is a 450-nanometer process chip. As long as it gets the second-generation Pentium chip, even think, ahem, a member of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association, equipped with the second-generation Intel Pentium chip, the performance It can surpass Shenzhou's second-generation computer! ”
Boss Liu said eloquently that as long as he can get the second-generation Pentium chip, he is confident that the performance of Lianxiang computers will surpass that of Shenzhou computers, and then he will regain everything Lianxiang lost this year.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
As for whether Shenzhou Computer will be equipped with 350 nanometer chips, Boss Liu does not believe that Dongxin Semiconductor can break through the 350 nanometer chip technology before next year. It is impossible, absolutely impossible!
Because he wants to block all the roads to Shenzhou Computer!
As for Shenzhou buying 350-nanometer chips from AMD, IBM, NEC and other chip manufacturers, let’s not say whether these manufacturers will be willing to sell to Shenzhou’s rival.
Even if they want to sell them, the architecture used by these brands of chips is Intel's X86 architecture patent. Intel does not agree to sell them and will not let Shenzhou Computer use them. Has Shenzhou used them? !
Shenzhou Computer is not a member of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association, so it is impossible to obtain chips from the association. This is equivalent to completely blocking the possibility of Shenzhou Computer obtaining 350 nanometer chips from outside.
Once the chip falls behind, the performance of Shenzhou computers will be affected and sales will be hit.
If computers cannot be sold, Dongxin Semiconductor's chip production capacity will also be hindered, and eventually a domino effect will form. The entire Shenzhou Computer and Dongxin Semiconductor will fall.
Boss Liu's game of chess has been planned for a long time. It can be said that it is a killer move step by step. It is almost exhaustive and blocks all escape routes for Shenzhou Computer.
"I hope Mr. Liu can do everything he promised!"
Gregory took one last look at Boss Liu, and then signed his name on the contract, which was almost equivalent to fully agreeing to Boss Liu's conditions.
If this fails to kill Dongxin Semiconductor, then Intel's position in the mainland and even the Asian chip market may be affected!
……
"Today, at the Continental Computer Manufacturers Association and Intel Technology Exchange Conference held at the Hilton Hotel, President Liu, representing the Continental Computer Manufacturers Association, and Intel Asia Pacific Director Gregory signed a number of agreements.
Intel announced that it will supply the world's most advanced Pentium second-generation 350nm computer chips, which it just released in May this year, to the mainland market through the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association.
In addition, Intel has also lowered the supply price of 450nm chips. It is said that the reduction is astonishing..."
At Pingyang Dongling Hi-tech Headquarters, today is the day when Shenzhou Computer's 100,000th computer goes offline. In addition, there are several directors of departments from Yanjing and the like, so a small celebration ceremony was held.
But before Li Dongling and others were about to go to Dongling Hi-Tech Electronics Industrial Park, they suddenly heard news from Yanjing.
The news just now is what I saw on TV.
"Boss Liu, it's really a good trick!"
Zhang Ao tugged on his tie and stared at the TV screen. His voice was a little angry, because in the past few days, his marketing department had lost several orders when trying to get orders from Lian Xiang. Now that he saw the news on TV, he finally understood what was going on.
