Chapter 158 Excluding the five major foundries, it really has the ability to mass produce chips!
In the conference room of Apple's headquarters, all senior executives from all departments were present. Even those on vacation were recalled urgently.
The Longguo market, with more than one billion people, is saturated with just 100,000 Apple 7 mobile phones. The situation is no longer as serious as usual.
Pou Ke had a straight face, without his usual signature smile. The executives also knew that something big had happened in the company.
No one dared to smile playfully, they were all waiting silently for instructions.
Pou Ke glanced around the conference room and after confirming that everyone was present, he went straight to the topic and said: "I want to tell you a very bad news. In the Longguo market, our Apple 7 mobile phone is unsaleable."
The results were told directly without any foreshadowing, which made many people unable to react at once, and some executives could not believe it.
“Hey! This is not April Fool’s Day!”
“One hundred thousand units is enough? That’s a country with a population of more than one billion. It’s impossible. This must be a joke. I’d like to God swears, this joke is not funny at all!”
“One hundred thousand units is enough. Could it be that our mobile phones are boycotted?”
"They discriminate against foreign mobile phones?"
The executives were talking a lot. Some of them had never paid attention to the news about Longguo, and some even didn't know that Longxing Technology was a competitor.
Looking at the confused expressions and exaggerated reactions of the executives, Pou Ke reluctantly recounted the entire situation.
After hearing that it was Longxing Technology Company, someone finally reacted.
"Gift crab! Is it the technology company that released the 14-nanometer SOC God chip? If I remember correctly, they only have a market value of tens of billions, and they are still in Longguo currency units!"
" Damn it, what have they done? Why does it affect our interests?”
“We have 100W ultra-fast charging and A9s neural engine bionic chip, but we still fail to win the Dragon Country market?”
“What a bad day!”
Perhaps success comes too easily, or perhaps it is the illusion brought about by the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 that made them all think that iPhone Still sitting firmly on the throne of the high-end market.
The sudden reduction in market share surprised them all.
Watching the reactions of the executives, Pou Ke also expressed his thoughts: "So ladies and gentlemen, I think we need to take action. If we don't fight back, we will wait for death."
"How to fight back?"< br>
A female executive asked.
Pu Ke did not hesitate for a moment, and gently uttered two words: "Reduced price."
"Reduced price?"
"Yes, reduced price!"
Pu Ke ignored the suddenly focused gaze and said neither humble nor arrogant: "Because our products have no advantages, we have Jiflash fast charge, they have Starflash fast charge, we have A9s chip, they also have SOC God chip, the configuration does not account for Given the advantages, we can only lower the price.”
“I can understand your thinking, but the Apple 7 has just been sold, will a sudden price reduction cause dissatisfaction among users?”
Some executives raised concerns.
However.
Puke already had a way to deal with it and replied: "We don't necessarily have to reduce the price, we can reduce the overall price."
"???"
"???"
The conference table is full of questions for executives.
The price will not be reduced, but the overall price will be reduced. What kind of talk is this?
Pou Ke didn’t give in, explaining: “We can use free accessories such as headphones, watches, power adapters, etc. to lower the overall price and improve competitiveness.”
“!!!”< br>
As soon as this idea came out, the executives were amazed.
“What a great idea!”
“This not only improves the competitiveness of Apple 7, but also helps us expand the market share of other accessories. It’s like killing two birds with one stone!”
"No, it kills three birds with one stone, and can also hit the opponent's share!"
"Okay, okay! Just do it like this!"
Seeing that the company's executives unanimously praised it, there was no objection. , Puke also became more determined in his thoughts.
Anyone who knows Puke knows that since he took office as CEO, he has been operating the digital accessories market, or in other words, operating Apple ecological products.
The ecology of a mobile phone can derive power adapters, wired headphones, wireless headphones, sports watches, tablets and office notebooks. They also have a comprehensive name, which is called Apple Family Bucket.
The ecological construction of Rice Company is actually to move Apple Company.
If you want to build a digital ecosystem, it involves many fields. Currently, only Korean Star Group and Apple in the world can do it. Kunpeng Company and Rice Company cannot even touch the threshold.
"In that case."
Seeing no objection, Pou Ke also said alone: "When the Apple 7 is on sale in Longguo District, we will give away corresponding digital accessories."
"I agree!"
"Yes!"
"This is a great idea!"
After the meeting was passed, Pou Ke also returned to his office, made himself a cup of coffee first, and then sat down at his desk. Prepare to send an email to Wang Feng.
However, when he opened the mailbox, he felt as if he had seen a ghost!
"Wardfa! One million Longxing X2 mobile phones were sold again in five days. Chen Xing, you are playing with fire!"
Wang Feng's latest email stated that Longxing Technology The company will restock 1 million units of Longxing X2 on January 25.
Such a huge quantity makes Puke fall into self-doubt. Is it possible that Longxing Technology Company really has chip production capabilities?
Without any hesitation, he chose to sue the "parents".
……
The other side.
Wall Street, New York.
After answering Puke’s call, the third-in-command of the Baile Group, Maria, looked solemn and stood up from her workstation.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I am sure. Longxing Technology plans to add 1 million units of Longxing X2 to inventory in five days. They may really have mastered the 28nm chip. Production technology.”
Pu Ke’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“I understand, please keep the company running normally and leave the rest to us.” Maria’s tone was cold and stern.
Angry!
She was really angry!
In the field of semiconductors, she will never allow any variables. This is a forbidden area set by the West for Dragon Kingdom enterprises!
Any Dragon Kingdom enterprise that dares to step in will be devastated!
After hanging up the phone, Maria immediately called the person in charge of monitoring chip production at Hanxing Group and asked for the latest chip production report.
However, the reply is that in addition to producing Orion chips, it does not produce other types of chips, and the only chips exported are Orion 5433 chips.
Obviously.
Korean Star Group is not involved in the production!
One of them did not participate, what about the other four chip foundries? Maria continued to make calls.
Taiwan TSMC, excluded!
Baodao UMC, excluded!
GeFoundries USA, excluded!
Loongson International, still excluded!
The hundreds of surveillance specialists deployed in the world's five largest chip foundries all agreed that no suspicious chips were produced. This made Maria feel that things were getting more and more scary. She really didn't believe that Longxing Technology Company controlled chip production.
It knows how to design chips.
EDA software limitations have no effect on it.
Now that chip production has been mastered, you tell me?
How long did it take for it to come back to life?
One year!
It’s only been one year!
Maria simply cannot imagine that if Longxing Technology Company is given another year, can it fly out of the earth, reach Mars, which Masik has longed for, and complete the colonization?
Half a year ago, she would have dared to directly deny that there was no company in the world that was developing so rapidly, but now she dare not make a hasty conclusion because she cannot understand Longxing Technology, including Chen Xing. Man...
Developing too fast!
It was so fast that she couldn't even imagine it!
Since none of the world's five largest foundries are involved in production, the problem of Longxing Technology is no longer something that Maria can handle alone. This company may really have the ability to produce chips.
Without any hesitation, she came to the office of the CEO of Balay Group.
“Dong Dong——”
The moment she knocked on the doorframe, the man inside seemed to know that he would come and responded: “Maria, come in.”
The moment he opened the door and walked into the office, before Maria could say anything, he was sitting at the desk. The extremely handsome man with long blond hair said lightly:
“I already know. What happened, but now is not the time, I need to further confirm that it has chip production capabilities, please go ahead and add ten more commissioners to Loongson International to monitor their production.” Maria, who wanted to tease her a few times, was as docile as a cat.
I saw her being submissive and saying with awe in her tone: "I understand, do you need me to do anything else for you?"
"No, you go back to work, I will do it. Arrange everything.”
The long-haired man said calmly.
As soon as the words fell, Maria left quickly and closed the door respectfully, not daring to look around.
Although she is the third-in-command of the Baile Group, the real talker has always been the long-haired man in charge.
As for his identity and background, even Maria has no way of knowing. She only knows that he comes from a mysterious organization, an organization that claims to be "all-knowing and all-seeing" and uses eyes as its symbol. All are mysteries.
……
The other side.
Peninsula Seoul.
Korean Star Group Headquarters Building.
Li Zhenzhen returned to the company overnight and listened to the report from the eyeliner under his hand. He suddenly smiled and said: "If the West can start an investigation, Longxing Technology Company will definitely take action."
She directly Use the company network to enter Longguo.com to browse Weibo information.
When she saw that 400,000 Longxing X2 units were sold out in seconds, Longxing Technology Company issued an announcement overnight that it would add 1 million units to its inventory in five days, and she suddenly woke up.
Chen Xing did not lie to her. Longxing Technology Company really has chip production capabilities, and the output is not small!
Not only did Li Zhenzhen get the news, Li Zaiyong also rushed back to the company overnight after learning that the Western "human flesh monitor" was in action, and also directly accessed the Longguo Internet.
A moment later.
He sighed and said: "As expected, it's you, Chen Xing. In order to protect Loongson International, you proved that you have chip production capabilities. You are really an unpredictable man."
Not only the Korean Star Group was wondering why the West suddenly took action, TSMC boss Zhang Miao also returned to the company overnight.
Because people under the company reported that Western investigators were already going crazy to break into his company's safe.
What can he do?
I can only go back and unlock the door obediently!
While unlocking the door and being investigated, he did not forget to check to see what else Chen Xing had done to implicate him!
I still visit Longguo Internet, I still search on Weibo, and I still see the "million-dollar replenishment" notice.
Zhang Miao was sitting in a messy office. He suddenly slapped the table and said, "Come to the north! I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. Do you, Chen Xing, really prove it? Why don't you be such a fool!"
Four hundred thousand Longxing X2 units, plus one million units in stock, will require at least 1.4 million Kaitian baseband chips.
With such a huge quantity, it is impossible for Loongson International to OEM!
There are two possibilities now, either Chen Xing not only entrusted TSMC to manufacture the baseband chips, but also commissioned other companies to manufacture them, and then secretly accumulated a large number of baseband chips.
Another possibility is...
Longxing Technology really has the ability to mass produce chips!
Zhang Miao hopes it is the first possibility. If it is the second possibility, then Longxing Technology Company will be a bit scary.
It takes three years to catch up with them in one year, and then give them another two years to develop?
One night is short, but for some people, it is very long, especially the five major chip foundries under review.
Baile Group's review of the five major chip foundries has also spread throughout the world of semiconductor companies, including the Dutch ASML company that assembles photolithography machines.
Now the semiconductor giants have vaguely guessed that Longxing Technology Company may really have the ability to produce chips using the 28nm process.
They are starting to get scared!
They are afraid of losing their footing capital!
......
On the other hand, Chen Xing, who has attracted world attention and made everyone in the semiconductor field feel in danger, slowly got up and said silently:
"The system opens up the talent market. ."
The words just fell.
A clear blue system panel appears.
[Talent Market]: Level 4 (It costs 200 million to upgrade the level. The higher the market level, the higher the quality of talents that can be recruited.)
[List of talents available for recruitment today]:
1. Wei Xianjun, purple quality, no academic qualifications, strength talent, specializes in Wing Chun, recruitment funds required: 7,000 yuan.
2. The blue quality has been folded.
3. The blue quality has been folded.
4. Zhou Zehao, purple quality, one degree, scientific research talent, specializing in mobile operating system design, recruitment funds required: 7,000 yuan.
5. The white quality has been folded.
Looking at the two purple quality talents, Chen Xing was in a good mood. Since he was promoted to third place in the mobile phone field rankings, the probability of purple quality talents appearing has greatly increased. Blue quality talents are now a bit disdainful. .
Chen Xing did not rush to recruit, but waited until he returned to the company.
After checking the talent market as usual, he picked up the phone next to his pillow and checked his unread WeChat messages.
As expected, there are quite a few.
Ren Guofei, Rebus, and Gao Yongming all sent him messages, and Li Zhenzhen also used emails to remind him of what happened last night.
However, Chen Xing simply understood what had happened and then turned off his phone. He did not care about the next move of the Western Consortium at all, because everything was still under his control.
Self-certification is the first step!
Going ahead is the second step!
Anti-blockade is the third step!
This step of self-certification to the West may not seem like Chen Xing is doing it to protect the domestic alliance, but in fact he is doing it more for himself.
If companies in the semiconductor chip field want to develop, they will definitely have to go through Western sanctions. Since they are going to be sanctioned anyway, why not rely on the help of friends?
Leveraging strength is wisdom and an opportunity for rapid development!
When Longxing Technology Company develops to the point where it does not need the help of its friends, Western companies will know what cruelty is!
