I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 412, 126-127: Afraid of a Hammer! (4000 words)
But this time it's completely different.

Pingguo Company seized on these weaknesses of Hillhouse Qinglong's chip and amplified them.

It is a self-developed product, and its usage is relatively inferior to chips from Qualcomm and Sansang, which are used in tens of millions of units.

This leaves a lot of room for finding loopholes.

When Pingguo wants to seize the opportunity to attack Hillhouse, isn’t that simple?
The advantages of this newly developed M chip are obvious when compared with Hillhouse Technology's Qinglong chip, aren't they?

Any company that can occupy a large market share in the electronic technology industry is not an easy task.

Pingguo usually only focuses on North America and Europe, and has never intended to confront Hillhouse Technology directly.

Now that Hillhouse has grown in size, it is normal to launch a head-on attack now in order to eliminate Hillhouse in advance and predictively avoid the extreme state of global confrontation with Zhongwei in the future.

Soon, many in-depth reports about Hillhouse Qinglong Chip appeared in the market.

[Hillhouse Qinglong 701 chip questioned: performance is really not as good as Qualcomm. ]

[Comparison of the latest mobile phone SoCs: Hillhouse chips lag behind Pingguo by 4 generations, while Qualcomm and MediaTek are 3 generations behind?]

[To be honest, Hillhouse's low-end and mid-range mobile phones have a big shortcoming, that is, the chips are indeed a bit inferior. 】

[Hillhouse Chip is out of business! Once a competitor to Qualcomm and Pingguo, but now it has become an “other”?]

[Hillhouse chip failed? Halfway through the disassembly video, the "SK" mark appeared on Hillhouse Honor Magic chip? You are not mistaken! 】

These reports are completely different from ordinary reports. They are basically highly professional slander.

With all the pictures and texts, no ordinary spectator was so calm.

What the hell? Hillhouse's self-developed chips are so bad. Am I the one who paid the IQ tax?

Hillhouse's low-end mobile phone is really not very good to use! Is it true that the mobile phone I have always used has so many problems?
This is where the power of the water army, especially the high-quality water army, lies.

Normally, everyone lives in their own information cocoon, and they firmly believe in what they selectively believe.

But when you believe in something.

An article appears in your field of vision that criticizes what you believe, and you choose not to believe it.

Another article appears, criticizing what you believe, and you choose not to believe it again.

Another article appears, criticizing what you believe, and again you choose not to believe it.

But the fourth time it appeared, the fifth time it appeared.

Do you still believe it at this time?

Are you starting to doubt if there is something wrong with you?

This is the power of opinion leaders in communication studies to break the spiral of silence!

Soon, discussions about Hillhouse’s self-developed chips became a hot topic in major forums.

After all, as a well-known self-research company in China, Hillhouse has always been a very topical company in terms of products and brands.

[In fact, this article has touched upon the key point. The core of a mobile phone is actually that small chip. In this era when APP performance is becoming more and more comprehensive and has become like a mountain of shit, the importance of chips cannot be overemphasized. The performance of Hillhouse chips is indeed worth studying.]

【China's chip industry is lagging far behind! Before Hillhouse came in, almost all graduates of chip-related majors in Chinese universities would switch to the computer industry. The probability of switching careers is too high. The core is that this industry has no "money prospects"! Hillhouse has been slightly better in the past few years, but how can it catch up with other companies after accumulating for a few years? It's too normal!】

[There is no way. The Matthew effect is very strong in this industry. If you can't do it, you can't do it. How can a mobile phone cost more than 2,000 yuan? It's so expensive! It's a month's salary for ordinary people! In this case, if you can't do it well, it's the original sin. Who will support you! ]

[That is, the Apple phone is much better, with high appearance, smooth operation, and powerful self-developed chips. Apart from the high price, it has almost no disadvantages. ]

Various topics on the Internet have caused the popularity of Hillhouse to cool down suddenly, and have even affected the sales of Hillhouse’s current products.

Hillhouse Technology's sales volume even declined to a certain extent in August 2015.

This happened before, but it has never happened before.

no way.

This is an era where online can completely influence offline.

A hot news can even make an unknown ordinary person become a super internet celebrity known to all Chinese people. This is a very normal thing.

However, although there are many people who question Hillhouse.

But there are still many voices supporting Hillhouse.

[Other people’s things are always decided by others, so take it one step at a time. ]

[The truth of scientific research is to waste money in various ways. The cost of the top technologies in the West has only been recovered for a few years, and it may not have been recovered yet. After all, it is privately made. For the same results, the waste is much more serious than that of public ones, and the cost recovery cycle is longer. How can we allow a competitor that is faster, better and cheaper to exist? I think those who doubt Hillhouse are not good people! ]

【I major in optoelectronic information, and many netizens are familiar with the discussion. China's chips are really difficult. Foreign technology leadership is the result of long-term scientific research investment and emphasis on technology. Now it is a globalized world. It is definitely not advisable to work behind closed doors again. We should support Hillhouse, the only seed with growth potential in China! In the current environment, we can only continue to forge ahead and forge ahead! 】

[You always criticize domestically produced chips, but you don’t know that if they are blocked and their use is directly restricted under extreme circumstances, China’s technology industry will be truly finished! ]

[You also know that this is an extreme case. In today's global village, it is impossible for others to directly restrict your chips, unless they have eaten too much or their brains are stuck in a door.]

[It’s better to talk about the battery than the chip. My phone’s battery is getting hot and swollen. I wonder if any omnipotent netizen knows what’s going on? ]

【电池鼓包原因有以下几种：1.长时间充电，充电器不拔出来。2.多次用不同型号充电器充电。3.充电器不规律性频繁拔插。4.两个以上充电器一起工作。5.充电时动用了其它辅助散热装置。6.充电频率过高导致插口烧焦发黑。】

[Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! The guy above said that the battery can be used to drive the car? What kind of driving sanctity is this... 】

[I was not prompted and could not tell at all, awesome! ]

the other side.

Qualcomm and Sansang also jointly issued an ultimatum to Hillhouse.

It is hoped that Hillhouse will now sign a quantity guarantee agreement with the two companies for 2015 and 2016, and have Hillhouse promise that the number of chips purchased in these two years will be no less than the number purchased in 2014. Otherwise, it is possible that the chip supply to Hillhouse will be directly suspended after the number of chips in the original framework contract is completed.

To make matters worse!

These two external chip suppliers have been eyeing the market for a long time, and now they are taking this opportunity to jump out, hoping to prevent Hillhouse Group from delaying the use of its self-developed chips in its flagship mobile phones.

You mobile phone manufacturers are all dishonest and always want to use your own chips.

Who will I sell my chips to in the future? Isn't this just shooting myself in the foot?
No!

Absolutely not!

This must be stopped immediately.

at this time.

Hillhouse Technologies is now in a very embarrassing position.

Especially Hillhouse Chip, which is the most embarrassing embarrassment.

Hillhouse Technology's products can use external chips, but now they are forced to take the blame for using their own self-developed chips. This is really a bit unreasonable.

Moreover, Pingguo's move is a big conspiracy!
If you can't stand the pressure and use external chips from other companies on the new Mate 10, then from a strategic point of view, you have failed!

If self-developed chips cannot be used, then general-purpose chips must be used. Many functional designs will not be personalized, and it is basically impossible to create a closed-loop ecological supply chain like Pingguo.

But if you can withstand the pressure and continue to develop your own chips, Qualcomm and Sansang may cut off supply at any time.

And it’s normal business behavior.

To guarantee quantity means cutting off your source. After guaranteeing quantity, your flagship chip is still on sale, but you have so many mobile phones, you are selling them to ghosts!
Pingguo stepped forward, and Qualcomm and Sansang worked together to block the attack, hoping to make an example of them and let those manufacturers who are eager to develop their own chips weigh the strength of these two chip manufacturers.

No solution!
From a strategic perspective, no matter what efforts Gao Huaijun makes, he will not be able to fundamentally solve this problem.

This will ensure that Hillhouse Technology’s market does not suffer any losses.

As the statements from Sansang and Qualcomm were released, the stock price of Hillhouse Technology fell sharply, starting from the highest value of 92 Hong Kong dollars and falling rapidly. At the lowest point, it even fell to the s, to more than Hong Kong dollars per share!
The president’s office at Hillhouse headquarters.

"Mr. Gao, don't we need to make a clear statement to Gao Tong and San Sang?" Ning Yuan asked Gao Huaijun worriedly.

In his opinion, if Hillhouse offends these two companies, then it will be left with no choice but to conduct its own research.

"What does Mr. Li mean?" Gao Huaijun smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. He turned to ask Li Yinxin who was standing beside him.

The performance of these two companies was really beyond my expectations.

Originally they didn't react much, but after Pingguo's provocation, it instantly became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Gao Ling, which made Gao Huaijun in a very bad mood.

"Dad didn't say anything, he just said that if Hillhouse is willing to sell Hillhouse chips to Sansang, the price can be negotiated." Li Yinxin said uneasily.

She really didn't want to get involved in this kind of business war among top companies.

But it actually happened.

Gao Huaijun nodded to indicate that he understood.

This is not Li Yinxin's fault. This kind of thing is not something she can control.

The external supply problem that he has always been worried about has finally been solved today because Mate 10 is going to use the flagship chip!
He knew that the core source was Taiwan and electricity.

"BYD, he actually leaked the information that we were going to develop the flagship mobile phone chip. He deserves death!" Gao Huaijun said in his heart with hatred.

He also knew that this matter was kept secret by Taiwan and the TV station, and there was no evidence at all, so there was nothing they could do about it.

No matter what, the feud has been settled.

However, if he were Taiwan and Dian, he would also inform on the matter.

Qualcomm is a major customer of Hillhouse Capital. As for whether Hillhouse Capital can increase its sales volume in the future and how much it can increase, that is still unknown.

In this situation, if you were Zhang Zhongmou, which one would you favor?
When it comes to business, there is no right or wrong.

And even if you, Gao Ling, knew about it, so what?
We are the only company in the world that can carry out advanced process outsourcing!
Under the exclusive transaction, you can find me if you want to, and you have to find me if you don’t want to.

Even the higher-level powers can't do anything to me, so what can you do to me?
So even though Gao Huaijun was depressed, he had no other choice. "We have to take it one step at a time. How long can our chip reserves last?"

At this point, a gleam of brilliance flashed across Gao Huaijun's face.

"According to estimates, it will take about a month." Ning Yuan said helplessly.

This time was not the era of panic that would occur in later generations.

In that era of massive chip hoarding, after a huge mess, it was an open secret in the industry that many manufacturers used old chips multiple times. Once the e-commerce festival came, the prices of some brands' old models were almost cut in half, but the shipments still couldn't hold up. It was a collapse.

In many channels, the goods from the previous year’s Double Eleven have not been cleared out by the next year. What’s even more speechless is that some people are still selling goods from two years ago. It’s really frustrating.

Therefore, generally speaking, mobile phone manufacturers mainly focus on short-term reserves when it comes to chip reserves, and long-term reserves are a very high-risk thing.

"Withstand the pressure! Qualcomm can cut off supply if they want, and they can cut off supply if they can! It's September now, and the impact will only last one or two months. We are not afraid of them cutting off supply at all." Gao Huaijun frowned and said gritting his teeth.

He knew what would happen if Hillhouse's flagship product was cut off for one or two months.

This will at least result in a loss of tens of billions of profits!
He could imagine what other ordinary investors would say about his decision at the board meeting.

They invest in Hillhouse to make money, not to reap the benefits in the long term out of patriotism like him.

If you prevent me from making money, I will naturally scold you.

However, for Hillhouse Technology, if the flagship chip can be put into use, being forced to cut off supply will not be a big deal.

It's all worth it!

Ning Yuan and Li Yinxin on the side couldn't help but look at Gao Huaijun in shock.

They were prepared and thought Gao Huaijun would be very aggressive, but they didn't expect that he would go all the way on the issue of installing self-developed chips on computers!
You know, Hillhouse’s flagship mobile phones are selling well now.

After the compromise, I went on the computer quietly the next year without being affected at all.

Why did we have to tear each other apart to this extent?

After Gao Huaijun finished speaking, he let the two of them leave.

People who have not experienced the future will never imagine how important and luxurious it is to have an independent industrial chain security.
