Chapter 169: Real machine evaluation, Geek X1 is the king of gaming performance!
When she said the words "It is omniscient and omnipotent and controls everything", Maria flashed with enthusiasm and seemed to be showing off.
As for the Wall Street financial tycoons beside her, if you look carefully, you will find that they all wear a medal on their chest, like a token of distinction.
But the stock god Parfitt, his chest is empty.
Pumpkin, Mollenkopf, Wally Herbert and other presidents and CEOs of American companies in the semiconductor field all took out their mobile phones, told the company's shareholders about the situation, and asked them to convene an emergency company meeting.
……
The other side.
California.
In the Apple headquarters building, shareholders are holding an emergency meeting.
Although Bailey Group and Vanguard Group are the largest shareholders of Apple, the actual control of the company is still in the hands of the two founders, and other companies are also very different.
"Puke is having a meeting in New York. I just called back and said that Wall Street wants us to have technical negotiations with other American semiconductor companies. What do you think?"
In the Apple conference room, eloquent shareholders There are nine people, and the two founders have the final say.
“I think this is a good thing. The technical exchange is equivalent to obtaining the baseband technology of Gaotong Company. Taking this opportunity, maybe we can complete the technological overtake.”
“No! "
As soon as one shareholder finished speaking, a "conservative" shareholder frowned and said: "But our M series chip and A series chip technology will also be imitated by other peers. Once the gap is narrowed, the market competitiveness will be reduced. I'm afraid it will weaken..."
"I don't agree either. Our Apple mobile phone can stay ahead only because of the chip and operating system. If these two technologies share, it may lead to disaster."
< br>"James makes sense."
"I also feel that technology cannot be shared. No matter how great the threat from Longxing Technology Company is, we can still occupy a certain market share, and Wall Street wants our foundation."
Four shareholders expressed their stance in succession, making the remaining shareholders who had not yet expressed their stance look at each other, waiting for each other’s opinions.
As the four shareholders said, once the core technology is handed over, it is equivalent to handing over the foundation of Apple to its competitors.
In the future, if the alliance is disbanded, there is no guarantee that a bunch of fruit companies will be born, such as banana companies, Sydney companies, and watermelon companies. How can Apple compete?
For the sake of baseband technology, it would be a bit more gain than loss to incorporate the M series chips of the PC side of your own computer, right?
However, at this moment, Gary Warniak, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke.
He has sideburns that cover his ears, weighs about 200 pounds, has a fat face, and a white beard on his chin. He looks a bit unkempt and slovenly, but he is the actual controller of Apple. one.
“So many people disagree, what do you think, Ronald?”
He looked at the shareholder beside him. He was an elderly man with gray hair and a gray beard. He has to be kind-hearted. Likewise, he is also one of the founders of Apple.
Under the cover of his kind appearance, Ronald smiled and said: "I think we can mutually support each other's technology. After the semiconductor blockade against Longguo's enterprises is strengthened, we can deal with those allies. Not bad.”
After a moment’s pause, he continued: “I believe our engineers will build new patent barriers faster than our friends, and Gaotong has what we want. Ray Warniak, you know.”
What Apple wants is undoubtedly baseband technology.
And they heard that Gaotong Company has already laid out the fifth generation communication technology, and they just took this opportunity to complete the overtake.
The 4G network has made Gaotong full of money, but it is still the only one in the 5G network. How can it do this? Ronald had made it clear and believed in his engineers.
“I also think we can negotiate, and maybe we can take this opportunity to achieve the initial closure of the chip field like Han Xing Group.”
“This is a great and risky idea. , but the risk is directly proportional to the return, I think we can try it.”
Three people in a row expressed their opinions. At this moment, there were four people in the conference room who voted against and four people who agreed, and they all looked at the chairperson. Gary Warniak, waiting for his final word.
To risk or not to risk? Do they have the right to say no?
Gary Warniak fell silent. He is actually conservative.
Apple is able to gain a foothold not only because of its powerful chips, but also because the iOS operating system is smooth enough, and their technology patents are insurmountable by rival companies.
Once the handover is released, it is very likely that a banana company and a Sydney company will appear the next day to compete for market share.
But if you refuse...
That’s Wall Street!
It is no exaggeration to say that the group of people on Wall Street represent the power of American private capital, and they are called international financial giants.
Of those who are targeted by them, only a handful can escape the harvest, and the immortals who have been harvested will be injured.
The most typical example is shorting the Thai baht, which has forced the country's economy to regress for decades and stagnated development since then.
What will happen to Apple if it rejects these financial giants?
No need to think about it, first of all, it must have been the selling of stocks by Bailey Group and Vanguard Group, which caused retail investors to panic, and then took the opportunity to buy stocks and short them, pulling Apple into the abyss.
Similar to Gary Warniak's difficulty in making a decision, American semiconductor chip-related companies such as Qualcomm, Intel, NVIDIA, AMD, and TI Texas Instruments are now silent and hesitant in their conference rooms.
To hand over or not to hand over?
Now they also have to make choices about the problems that Longguo manufacturers encountered at the beginning.
If you ask yourself, they do not want to hand over their core technology, because they are blocking chip technology, and there is no threat of the Sword of Damocles above their heads. Everyone wants to kill the other.
On the other hand, companies in the Dragon Kingdom can join the group to keep warm. That is because the threat from the West is too great and they have to join the group.
If there is a strong enemy, they will naturally attack the outside world in unison.
However, U.S. semiconductor chip-related companies are not threatened by strong enemies. To be precise, there are no companies that can truly shake their foundations, and the prerequisites for group registration have not yet been met.
But if you don’t want to form an alliance, you will offend the financial giants on Wall Street.
……
When the American semiconductor giants hesitate, semiconductor companies in other countries have no right to choose.
At ASML in the Netherlands, CEO Peter Wennink was directly ordered to join the American Semiconductor Alliance unconditionally.
Not only the Dutch ASML company, but also chip production raw material companies such as JSR Co., Ltd., TOK Tokyo Inka, and Shin-Etsu Chemical in the neon island country have been issued "alliance notices." Note that it is a notice, not a negotiation email.
In addition, notification emails have been issued to high-precision companies such as Korean Star Group, SK Hynix, and WONIKIPS Group in Peninsula, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., UMC, and even Germany's Carl Zeiss.
Reject?
They have no room for rejection!
However, most of them did not rush to express their opinions, but waited silently for the development of the situation.
Especially the Korean Star Group, which has just reached a strategic cooperation with Longxing Technology Company, how could they express their position immediately? They can delay it as long as they can, and they can continue to deal with it if they cannot delay it.
While semiconductor companies around the world are making decisions, Longxing Technology's Guancheng factory in Longguo is continuing to ship goods.
Shunfeng and Wangdong freight vehicles drove into the industrial park one after another, transporting the 200,000 Longxing X2 mobile phones to be shipped back to the sorting station for nationwide overnight delivery.
At the same time.
The other side.
Shencheng Tengfei Industrial Park.
Inside the Longxing Silicon Factory, the submerged arc furnace is still purifying silica and producing polysilicon for gasification and purification.
Thanks to the help of the domestic alliance, equipment in the silicon industry and photoresist field has been continuously installed. Currently, the factory has three production lines, and the production capacity has been significantly improved.
Beyond that.
There are also breakthroughs in the field of photoresist.
In the field of Arf photoresist, Zhu Mingyue, a golden-quality talent, has cracked the corresponding technical barriers and dug deeper.
For now, he has conquered the 193nm exposure wavelength, which can be applied to Arf photoresist at the N40nm-14nm PTDL/S technology node. However, in the field of photoresist, there is not only Arf photoresist, but also KrF photoresist, electron beam photoresist, packaging photoresist, and I-LINE photoresist.
Only by conquering five kinds of photoresists can we achieve results in the field of photoresists. Otherwise, we still need to rely on imports.
Of course.
In addition to photoresist, there are also supporting solutions such as developer solution, etching solution, and cleaning solution. This part also has technical barriers.
Although there are technical barriers, Longxing Chemical and Longxing Silicon were established to break the supply problem of raw materials for chip production and create a self-sufficient situation.
Once Longguo companies form a complete semiconductor production and supply chain, the domestic chip industry will usher in a real dawn.
……
For several days, Longxing Technology's Guancheng factory continued to ship goods and completed the delivery of one million units of Longxing X2 as scheduled.
At the moment when the last 200,000 mobile phones were shipped, Longguo Internet also set off a new wave of discussion.
Weibo information platform.
User Square.
[Not Jianjianjun]: "On the fifth day, my Longxing X2 has been shipped. I have to say that the official blog of Longxing Technology is really not bragging. It does ship 200,000 yuan a day. Taiwan, this speed is already amazing!”
[Xiaoxin can’t sleep]: “I just received the third batch of goods yesterday. It is exactly as described. The price/performance ratio of Longxing X2 is really great. It’s so smooth when playing games!”
[Deep Two Thorns]: “It’s so cool! The Longxing X2 is so cool! I bought a 20nm Orion 5433 processor phone for 1,799 yuan. Thank you Mr. Chen. Saved my wallet!”
[Yellow Cookie]: “The one million Longxing X2 has finally been distributed, so the next ones will be the Bright X1 and the Geek X1. I don’t know who will get it. Go to the first Geek X1 for evaluation. ”
Such a huge shipment volume and a large number of discussions from users have also made it clear to friends and colleagues that Longxing Technology Company is really capable of producing 28 nanometers. Kaitian baseband chip.
Wang Feng, CEO of Apple Company Longguo, and Li Zhiyu, CEO of Korean Star Group Longguo, the moment they learned the news, they reported it non-stop to the decision-makers at the headquarters.
And now!
The whole world is waiting to see whether the Geek X1 can be shipped normally.
If possible, it means that Longxing Technology Company may have mastered the 14-nanometer chip production technology, which is a very scary signal.
28nm to 14nm chips are not of the same order of magnitude at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the completion of the shipment of 1 million Longxing X2 units, the world's attention is focused on Longguo, wanting to see whether the Geek X1 mobile phone can be shipped.
However, Chen Xing did not disappoint them. After the Longxing X2 was shipped, he asked Lin Tian to urgently produce the SOC God Chip Assembly Geek X1. Because it had been too long since the first batch of pre-sales, users I must wait until the flowers have faded.
Day six.
That is January 31st.
For the first batch of users who purchased the Geek X1, the "To be shipped" on their online shopping platform has been changed to "To be received", which indicates that the manufacturer has already shipped the mobile phone.
100,000 units were pre-sold in the first batch, and 50,000 units were pre-sold in the second batch. A total of 150,000 Geek X1 mobile phones were shipped. The Guancheng factory shipped 70,000 units daily. tower.
Because it is close to Guancheng, the Geek X1 ordered by merchants in Huaqiangbei is shipped on the same day and can be received on the same day.
Lin Xiaolong, a blogger with two million fans on the Internet and Huaqiangbei’s top mobile phone maker, is still the first to get a mobile phone.
He didn’t hesitate and started broadcasting directly!
My previous review of Longxing X2 helped him gain 300,000 fans. I don’t know if Geek X1 can help him gain 200,000 fans.
[The anchor you are following has started broadcasting! ]
The mobile phones of fans who follow him are reminded by pop-up windows on the notification bar.
In a flash.
Thousands of people flocked to the live broadcast room.
“It’s live broadcast again. Today is also the delivery day of Geek X1. Is it possible that Jackie Chan got the Geek X1 phone again?”
“Trivia, Guancheng Being neighbors to Shencheng, Longxing Technology still uses Shunfeng for free shipping, and it’s not surprising at all to have direct delivery on the same day.”
"Then let's start the test directly!"
"I suggest Brother Long take a look at the scores. I want to know if there will be an AB machine."
"You're right, give it a test. Score! ”
AB machine is a common term for online shopping, referring to AB goods.
For example, when an anchor brings goods, the goods in his hands are goods A, which are exactly the same as the description. However, the goods in the hands of users cannot achieve the effect of the demonstration. This is goods B. Over time, there will be A common term for AB goods.
Some people on the Internet also ridicule that you cannot buy the product in the hands of the anchor, because it is made and tested by the manufacturer with real materials, and users can only buy inferior products.
Lin Xiaolong looked at the barrage floating by, smiled and held up the packaging box of Geek X1 and said: "Brothers, your guess is good, it has indeed arrived."
I saw someone mentioning AB goods. , he responded without hesitation for a moment: "Let's not talk nonsense and just start the test. If the scores are too different, I will immediately go to the downstairs of Longxing Technology Company headquarters to pull up a banner to defend my rights. You understand what I mean, brothers."
While he was bragging to his fans, gift effects flashed in the live broadcast room.
[Gift information]: Longxing Technology. Chen Xing has given you [Romantic Fireworks]
"F*ck!"
The moment the gift came out, Lin Xiaolong admitted that his anus was tight, and quickly shouted: "Is Mr. Chen in my live broadcast room?"
The words fell. At this moment, the barrage in the live broadcast room was ridiculing wildly.
"Hahaha! The road is narrow, Brother Long!"
"Mr. Chen is in the live broadcast room? No, how can I watch the same live broadcast with a billionaire boss? Mom, I You are on your way!”
“Mr. Chen watches Brother Long’s live broadcast, and I also watch Brother Long’s live broadcast. Mr. Chen is a man, and I am also a man, so I am equal to Mr. Chen. Rounding up, I am also a billionaire boss. !”
“Get out of the way, I’m going to wake up the young man in front with my oolong tea that has been carefully brewed for 8 hours!” Zhi!”
When the barrage was posted, Lin Xiaolong clicked on the user’s homepage where he had just sent gifts. After finding that there were only 27 fans, he quickly cursed: “Damn! This is a fake Mr. Chen, I’m scared. The turtle shrank, and I almost thought the road was narrow!”
After cursing, he neatly opened the package and took out the Geek X1 mobile phone inside to look at it carefully.
"This line is so smooth!"
"This feel is so comfortable!"
"This configuration is ready for testing!"
After he completed the basic settings of the phone, he immediately Go to the App Store to download Master Lu, and then without saying anything else, directly turn on the game mode to test the performance.
After a long running animation, Master Lu also made a page jump and began to calculate the final score of the mobile phone.
Ten thousand!
Fifty thousand!
One hundred thousand!
The chip score was rising rapidly. When it reached the score of 170,000, the crazy beating numbers finally stopped.
At the moment when the values were fixed, Lin Xiaolong zoomed in on the live broadcast camera and announced: "It's exactly right, it can indeed run 170,000 points. I unilaterally declare that Geek X1 is the king of gaming performance! ”
