Chapter 442 Xingyi Cloud Data Center is put into use, Double Eleven promotion!

"That's great!" Mr. Hu was overjoyed:
"The Shanghai wafer factory is SMIC's most advanced wafer factory. The equipment inside is ready to introduce IBM's 45-nanometer process advanced equipment, and it can fully launch our 40-nanometer process."

"That's good. Mr. Hu, you quickly mobilize the technical team and have Feimo City go to inspect it tomorrow. If there are no problems, I will go there and sign the contract the day after tomorrow. The subsequent adjustment and mass production of the 40-nanometer process will also be handed over to you."

"No problem, Mr. Wang, leave it to me, haha."

The phone call was filled with Mr. Hu's uncontrollable excitement:

"After taking over the wafer fab and debugging, we can start trial production within half a month. If there are no problems with the trial production, we can start full production within a month!"

"This couldn't be better." Wang Yi felt happy.

The Shanghai wafer factory also has a 12-inch line with a monthly production capacity of 2.5 pieces.

Once it goes into production, together with the 2.5 wafers from the imperial capital, the monthly production capacity of Xingyi Wafer Factory will reach 5 wafers!

Based on a yield rate of 90%, about 2900 million Kunpeng chips can be produced every month.

If the subsequent yield rate reaches 95%, 3000 million Kunpeng chips can be produced every month, which means 3.6 million chips a year!

Such a large volume can fully cover Kunpeng 702, Kunpeng 700, Kunpeng 500, as well as next year's Kunpeng 901 and Kunpeng 902, which is enough for self-use in the next year.

It can replace Qualcomm APQ 8064 and Nvidia tegra 3 without any problem.

It can be said that in a month, the Kunpeng versions of xphone 1pro, xphone 2, and Xingyi tablet X1 pro will all be fully launched!
As for the tegra 3 version and APQ 8064 version in stock, it’s easy to deal with since Double Eleven is coming soon.

Now the first phase of Xingyi Cloud Data Center has been put into use, with sufficient servers, so we can organize a Double Eleven promotion.

The prices of the NVIDIA and Qualcomm versions are reduced by two to three hundred yuan, and it’s just a promotion, just like clearing out the inventory.

The subsequent version will be mainly Kunpeng version.

The only problem is the xphone 1 and the Xingyi tablet X1.

The performance of the Qualcomm dual-core processor in the xphone 1 is quite poor, and Qualcomm is not cheap.

After all, it is both a processor and a baseband. Although the price has been reduced for many times in a row, the total cost is still seventy or eighty per set.

Originally, Wang Yi planned to gradually stop production, but the borderless phone has not been released yet, and the price range of more than 2,000 yuan cannot be left blank.

Why not also launch the Kunpeng version of xphone 1!

But you cannot use Kunpeng 700, let alone Kunpeng 702.

After all, the price of xphone 1, is much cheaper than the four or five thousand of xphone 2699pro and xphone 1, so the price range needs to be widened.

Then just mass-produce Kunpeng 500.

Replace the Qualcomm 1 chip and baseband of xphone 8660 with Kunpeng 500 SOC, upgrading to entry-level quad-core!
As for the price, the Qualcomm version of xphone 1 was reduced to 2499 during Double Eleven and came with a double membership for a limited time promotion. It will then return to 2699 and be sold slowly.

The quad-core Kunpeng 500 version of the xphone 1 is priced at 2999 and comes with a double membership, an entry-level quad-core.

There is also the Qualcomm dual-core of the Xingyi Tablet X1, which can also be upgraded to the Kunpeng 500 quad-core to continue to suppress the iPad mini.

The current small-sized tablet market is almost monopolized by the Xingyi Tablet X1, so it is natural that the iPad mini cannot take it away.

The A5 of iPad mini is quite weak, but Kunpeng 500 is more than capable of beating it.

As a result, when the Kunpeng version is fully launched, the price list will also change:

xphone 1, Kunpeng 500, priced from 2999, comes with double membership.

xphone 1pro, Kunpeng 700, starting from 4499, with free double membership.

xphone 2, Kunpeng 702, starting from 5499, with free double membership.

Xingyi Tablet X1, Kunpeng 500, starting from 2999, with free double membership.

Xingyi Tablet X1 pro, Kunpeng 700, starting from 3499, with free double membership.

Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra, Kunpeng 702, 3999 yuan, free double membership.

The Kunpeng 1 of the Xingyi Tablet X700 Pro is not as good as the A6X of the fourth generation iPad.

The fourth generation iPad starts at 3688.

Therefore, Wang Yi reduced the price of Xingyi Tablet X1 pro by 200 to 3499 and gave away double memberships, focusing on cost-effectiveness.

The Kunpeng 1 of the Xingyi Tablet X702 Ultra is not much worse than the A6x, and in other aspects it even beats the fourth generation of iPad, and is sold at a premium of !

One is two hundred cheaper than the fourth generation iPad, and the other is three hundred more expensive, squeezing it from both sides!
In this way, gamers who care about GPU performance can go directly for the Xingyi Tablet X3999 Ultra priced at 1 yuan.

For users who don’t care too much about GPU performance, they can directly buy the Xingyi Tablet X3499 pro at 1, which is more cost-effective.

Then there is no need for iPad.

After all, except for the GPU, the iPad is worse than the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro, but it has no other advantages. It is not as cheap as the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro, and is even less competitive.

After thinking this through, Wang Yi immediately called Zhu Changlin and told him about the above plans.

Zhu Changlin wrote down all of them: "Chairman, if Kunpeng 500, 700, and 702 are fully put into production, will our wafer fab be able to produce enough?"

"That's enough. I'll go to Shanghai the day after tomorrow and acquire SMIC's Shanghai wafer factory." Wang Yi said with a smile:
"In addition, in the second half of next year, the second phase of the expansion of the first plant of the Imperial Capital Wafer Factory will be put into production, and the monthly production capacity will increase by another 5 pieces. By then, the baseband will no longer need to be outsourced to TSMC, and can be completely self-produced."

"The extra production capacity can also be used to mass-produce Kunpeng 702, Kunpeng 700, and Kunpeng 500 chips for external sales."

In the second half of next year, Kunpeng 901 and Kunpeng 902 will be launched on the market, and the sub-flagship Kunpeng 702 can be sold to the outside world to grab the market share of Qualcomm Snapdragon 600.

"Should the Xingyi TV X40 and X50 also be replaced with Kunpeng 700?" Zhu Changlin asked the key question.

Wang Yi thought for a while and said, "Xingyi TV doesn't need a baseband. Nvidia's Tegra 3 costs us 8 US dollars, 52 RMB. Our self-developed Kunpeng 700 costs 30 RMB, so the difference is not big. Many products now need to change their chips and adapt. The system department has limited manpower, so it's not worth the trouble."

"In addition, the Xingyi TV X40 and X50 continue to use NVIDIA Tegra 3, and the extra Kunpeng 700 can be sold externally, which is more cost-effective."

Zhu Changlin suddenly realized: "It's true. It costs 3 yuan to buy Nvidia Tegra 52. Our Kunpeng 700 is sold to the public, and it integrates the full network baseband. It is sold at 152 yuan and there are fierce competition. I can make an extra 100 yuan directly! If I make an extra 100 yuan per unit, if I sell 30 million units, I can make an extra billion yuan!"

Zhu Changlin was shocked.

To put it bluntly, in the short term, the production capacity of the Xingyi wafer factory is limited. It is sufficient for its own use, but the production capacity for external sales is insufficient, and the Kunpeng 700 cannot be sold on a large scale.

But if the chips of Xingyi TV X40 and X50 are not replaced, 700 million Kunpeng SOCs can be saved, which can be sold to domestic mobile phone brands to make more money.

Besides, a TV is not a mobile phone. Using Nvidia Tegra 3 is already invincible. It doesn’t reach 4K, but the performance is sufficient.

Besides, Wang Yi has other plans: "Most importantly, Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 702 must be reserved for new products at the beginning of next year!"

"The Xingyi TV X55 at the beginning of next year will use Kunpeng 700 and will be priced at 7999. The X60 will directly use Kunpeng 702, which has the best performance and will be more expensive, 9999!"

And it’s a 1080P version.

There is no way. The 60-inch TV these days is equivalent to the 120-inch giant-screen TV many years later, and it has not yet been domestically produced.

Only giants like Sony and Samsung can produce this. The configuration is far inferior to that of Xingyi TV, but the price is more than 1.5 yuan, or even or yuan!
Wang Yi sold it for 9999, which was considered trouble.

"The chairman is thoughtful. The X55 and X60 processors are more powerful and more expensive. If the X50 is replaced with the Kunpeng 700, the performance will be greatly improved, which will make it difficult to sell the X55 at a high price next year."

Zhu Changlin instantly understood Wang Yi's idea that the knife skills must be precise.

鲲鹏700比英伟达Tegra 3强大40%，鲲鹏702比英伟达Tegra 3提升110%左右。

If the Nvidia Tegra 50 of the X3 is replaced with Kunpeng 700, then the X55 will also use Kunpeng 700, which will make it difficult to sell at a high price.

If Kunpeng 55 is used on X702, it will be difficult to install X60.

As for the Kunpeng 901 at the end of the year, it does not have a baseband and is indeed used for Xingyi TV, but it is not the 1080 version, but the 4K version!
Kunpeng 901 has such powerful performance that it would be a waste to use it on 1080, so 4K is required.

届时，无界电视鲲鹏500，星逸X40、x50继续英伟达Tegra 3，明年的X55用鲲鹏700，X60用鲲鹏702。

The 4K version in the second half of the year will directly use Kunpeng 901.

The main feature is a clear hierarchy, you get what you pay for.

Among them, the X60 4K version is priced at over 14999!

In 2013, a 60-inch TV costs more than 4 yuan, and a 60K -inch TV costs more than or yuan.

"By the way, Lao Zhu, are there any customers currently contacting for the Wing Loong 3000 baseband?" Wang Yi thought of this.

Xingyi Technology does not use the Wing Loong 3000 3G full network baseband, and it is mainly sold to external parties to make money.

It is also to let friendly competitors know the strength of Xingyi Semiconductor and pave the way for the subsequent sale of Kunpeng chips.

Business cooperation is like this. As long as you have cooperated before and have a clear idea of ​​what is going on, the subsequent cooperation will be smooth.

Once competitors buy the Wing Loong 3000 baseband and use it well, and feel that Xingyi Semiconductor is strong, provides good services, and offers fair prices, they will follow suit and buy Kunpeng chips.

"Chairman, the Yilong 3000 baseband has just started mass production and is not well-known enough. There are currently no customers buying it."

Wang Yi was speechless: "..."

"Mr. Zhu, what does the marketing department do? They are not well-known enough, so they don't know how to take the initiative to contact big customers?"

Wang Yi was helpless: "Let the marketing department go out with the Yilong 3000 baseband and test data to contact major brands. Orders are negotiated. We are just starting out. How can we wait for customers to find us instead of proactively looking for them?"

"Yes, I'll ask the marketing department to go right away." Zhu Changlin's expression changed slightly. Director Wang was angry.

No wonder, because all the battles before were favorable and we were always the party A.

This time we were selling basebands and became the second party, so the marketing department was not very supportive.

You deserve to be scolded!
The marketing department, in theory, is responsible for negotiating with customers, expanding the market, and acting as the second party.

It’s just that Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi TVs and other products were too strong and had such good sales that dealers and big customers were begging Xingyi Technology, so much so that Xingyi Technology’s marketing department changed from Party B to Party A.

It’s different now. The baseband is a newly developed product and the outside world doesn’t understand it, so it’s inevitable that there is a lack of confidence.

This requires the marketing department to visit customers and actively promote the product.

"Old Zhu, immediately transfer the best personnel from the Xingyi mobile phone marketing department to set up the Xingyi semiconductor marketing department, which will be responsible for the sales of baseband and subsequent chips."

Zhu Changlin was a little embarrassed: "Chairman, they all know that basebands are not as easy to sell as mobile phones. I guess no one is willing to go. What should I do?"

"Don't want to go?" Wang Yi smiled. "I just want to stay in a strong department and fight with the wind. I don't want to go to a new department to open up new areas. How can it be so good?"

"So, starting from next month, the performance evaluation indicators for the mobile phone business will be increased by 30%, making it more difficult. Those who fail to meet the target will receive low performance or even zero performance. Those who fail to meet the target multiple times will be laid off directly."

"We can't let them get high performance without doing much work. This is unfair. From now on, the Xingyi Mobile Phone Marketing Department will reduce salaries and reduce staff, and only retain the talented elites. And the Xingyi Semiconductor Marketing Department will increase salaries and expand staff!"

"Tell them directly that those who are not capable enough should go to the chip department as soon as possible, and don't wait until they are laid off, because then there will be no chance."

Wang Yi thought clearly that Xingyi mobile phones would have no problem selling, and the mobile phone marketing department could completely cut salaries and reduce staff.

Xingyi Semiconductor is in the early stages of development and is in need of sales talent to expand the market. The strategy of adjustment is to reduce salaries and reduce staff while increasing salaries and expanding the staff.

With such an obvious intention, anyone with a brain would know what to choose.

Those who are still pretending to be confused either just want to fight for their own benefit and not take responsibility, or they are really stupid and cannot understand the direction of the company's development.

Regardless of which category they belong to, they are not the talents that Xingyi Technology needs, so it is natural for them to be optimized.

"In addition, elites who are willing to take the initiative to join the marketing department of Xingyi Semiconductor will be included in the seed program and given priority for inspection and training."

"Yes!" Zhu Changlin responded quickly.

Just as Wang Yi said, Xingyi Semiconductor Department is currently in need of elite personnel to expand the market.

Normally, the mobile phone marketing department can easily get high performance, but if they don’t step up when the company needs them, they would be useless.

You deserve to be fired.

That night, Zhu Changlin sent an internal email to the Xingyi Mobile Phone Marketing Department, which immediately caused a commotion. Many marketing department employees even started chatting in various small groups:

"The target for this month is very high, but it is achievable if we try hard enough. If the target for next month is raised by another 30%, it's over. There is no way we can complete it."

"Alas, the good times are over. If we want to raise it by another 30%, we have to work really hard to have any hope."

"I can't finish it. I've reached my limit this month. I definitely won't be able to finish it next month."

"If you can't finish it, you can only get the basic salary, which is not enough."

"Why don't you go to Xingyi Semiconductor Department? I saw that they sell the Yilong 3000 baseband. It's a new department and the targets are very low. It's not difficult to complete them."

"Not only are the targets low, but the bonuses are also high. I think it's okay."

"The mobile phone department's improvement of indicators is a screening process, which forces those of us who cannot complete the tasks to leave. Either wait to be laid off, or if you don't want to be laid off, go to the semiconductor department as soon as possible."

"Yeah, I have no choice but to go. The good days of the mobile phone department are over."

"Instead of working in the mobile phone department and getting a base salary without completing tasks, I might as well go to the semiconductor department and try my luck, and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."

"Besides, the semiconductor department has just been established, and there are many opportunities for promotion and salary increase. I plan to go."

"I'll go as well."

"I have to go, because the targets for Xingyi mobile phones will be too high, and it will be hard to work."

That night, the employees of Xingyi Mobile Phone Marketing Department began to make their decision.

Some chose to stay in the mobile phone department, while others went to the Xingyi Semiconductor Department.

The next day, the marketing department of Xingyi Semiconductor was quickly established, and then divided into groups to start targeted training.

One group is responsible for one mobile phone brand.

Domestic brands such as Meizu, ZTE, Huawei, Oppo, VIVO, Coolpad, Lenovo, Xiaomi, etc. are all taken care of.

Nowadays, Qualcomm's 3G baseband is expensive and does not support full network access, so major brands have divided it into multiple versions.

For example, Meizu uses Samsung's processor, the Unicom version uses Infineon's baseband, while the Mobile version uses Spreadtrum's baseband.

The same is true for other brands, including China Unicom version of Infineon, Texas Instruments, MediaTek, Philips, Keming and other brands.

But if the mobile version wants to support mobile 3G, then only a few domestic basebands such as Spreadtrum can do so.

Therefore, all major brands have one generation of mobile phones, multiple solutions, and bugs often occur.

Now that Wing Loong 3000 has been launched, it is directly fully network-compatible, a one-stop solution, and is not expensive, which is a big advantage.

As long as the marketing department actively promotes it, there is hope that the deal will be concluded.

There's nothing wrong with saving money and trouble.

What's more, there is the previous cooperation on fast-charging chips. As long as it can be proved that Wing Loong 3000 is powerful and will not fail, this matter will be settled.

The only thing that major brands are worried about now is that the Wing Loong 3000 is not mature and that it will fail after being purchased, so they are waiting and watching.

The role of the marketing department is to alleviate the concerns of major brands and convince them to place orders!

However, Wang Yi ignored these things and came to the Xingyi Cloud Data Center to attend the opening ceremony of the cloud data center!

This is a major event for Xingyi Technology, a major event for Jeju, and a major event for the entire province!
The event was attended by many media and several leaders.

But this time the status was much higher, even Director Hong stood behind.

There’s no way, the top leader is here, and the provincial leaders are here too!
It can be seen that the faces of several leaders are full of smiles.

The first phase will have 20 servers, and the total number of servers will be !
By then, it will be the largest single cloud data center in Asia and even the world!
What a fucking scene!

The provincial leaders were all grinning from ear to ear.

This kind of big project, and a high-end one at that, will make every province laugh no matter which province it is in!
Wang Yi walked onto the stage surrounded by the crowd, and received thunderous applause.

It wasn't until Wang Yi waved his hand that everyone quieted down.

"Thank you to all the leaders and guests for taking the time to attend the opening ceremony of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center."

"A month ago, Xingyi Cloud Data Center started trial operation and data migration. We used to rent servers, but now we have our own cloud data center!"

"And the first phase will have 50,000 servers!"

"Not only can it meet all the current server needs of Xingyi Technology and Mayu Technology, but it also has enough servers to allow us to further expand many new businesses and provide cloud data services to the outside world."

"With the Xingyi Cloud Data Center, our AI and Xiao Ai robots will develop better, become smarter, and provide better services to everyone. Everyone will feel this soon."

"Wow." Applause broke out, and many users really felt that Xiao Ai had made rapid progress.

Wang Yi continued: "In addition, we can bring you more products and services in the future. For example, Xingyi Games, Xingyi Animation, etc., tens of thousands of employees have moved into Mayu Technology Park."

"Many games and animations are being produced intensively and will be launched one after another next year, bringing more surprises to everyone."

"We will also fully upgrade Xingyi Video's film and television resources. We will gradually upgrade the current 480P and 720P to 1080P. We will also gradually upgrade the current 1080P resources to 4K!"

“This will allow Xingyi Video members to enjoy a better and more outstanding viewing experience.”

"That's right, next year, Xingyi Video will be the first to usher in the 4K era!"

"Wow!"

Everyone at the scene was completely excited, and the comments from those watching the live broadcast were all going crazy:

"It's amazing. Our competitors still focus on 720P, but Xingyi Video goes straight to 4K!"

“Not only are new dramas of high standard, but old dramas are also being upgraded and restored, which is amazing.”

"With our own data center, Xingyi Video has been fully upgraded. We are really willing to spend a lot of money on it."

"Other platforms are designed to harvest users, but Xingyi Video is truly seeking benefits for users."

"That's right, all my Xingyi videos are free!"

Wang Yi continued: "Xingyi Music will also be fully upgraded. In addition to purchasing more lossless music copyrights, we will also use technical means to gradually upgrade SQ and HQ quality music to lossless, so as to provide everyone with a better audio-visual experience."

The applause started again.

"Finally, there is one more big thing."

Wang Yi paused and said, "Double Eleven is coming. Meiyou Mall and Xingyi Mall will start a Double Eleven promotion!"

"We are having a big sale on all clothing and cosmetics. We refuse to raise prices first and then lower them. We are treating our customers like fools. We are directly offering a big sale at the original price. For all clothing and cosmetics, we will offer a 50% discount on purchases of 300 yuan, a 100% discount on purchases of 500 yuan, and a 300% discount on purchases of 1,000 yuan! There is no upper limit!"

Upon hearing this, the barrage exploded:

"Spend 1,000 and get 300 off, that's 30% off! This is comparable to a big promotion at the beginning of the website."

"Yes, on last year's Double Eleven, Meiyou and Zhenyou had basically no promotions, but this year they have a 30% discount. Go for it, sisters!"

"Zhenyou down jacket, original price 2000, now only 1400, Mr. Wang, I love you."

"Five hundred and eighty percent off, one thousand and seventy percent off, it's still worthwhile to round it up."

"The price of American pomelo has always been strong. Girls, don't miss this opportunity."

"My shopping cart is already full, just waiting for the big sale to start. Not much, just 5000 yuan, 3500 yuan after % discount."

Wang Yi continued: "Similarly, Xingyi Mall will also launch a limited-time promotion on Double Eleven."

"The price of xphone 1 is reduced by 200 yuan again, starting from 2499 yuan, and a double membership worth 360 yuan is given!"

"The price of xphone 1pro is reduced by 400, starting from 4099, and a double membership worth 360 yuan is given!"

"The price of xphone 2 is reduced by 300 yuan, starting from 5199 yuan, and you can get a double membership worth 360 yuan for free!"

This time, the live broadcast room barrage exploded again:

"Fuck, the price of xphone 2 has finally dropped, it's not easy. The iPhone 5 next door has dropped by 700, but the price of xphone 2 has only dropped by 300!"

"The Xphone 1 Pro is still a good deal. It has dropped to 4000 yuan. I want to buy it."

"The xphone 1 is also good, 2499 is a good deal for a double membership."

"If you want to get started, the Double 11 sale is the lowest price. After Double 11, the price will definitely go up."

"That's right, after Double Eleven, the Xphone 2 will be 5499 again."

"Will the Xingyi tablet not be reduced in price?"

"And Xingyi TV, I've been waiting for almost half a year, and the price hasn't dropped a penny."

"Look, Mr. Wang is talking again. I guess it's about the tablet and the TV!"

Wang Yi continued: "Xingyi Tablet X1, price reduced by 300, starting from 2699, and free double membership!"

"Xingyi Tablet X1 pro, price reduced by 400, starting from 3099, free double membership!"

"Xingyi TV X40, price reduced by 500, starting from 4499, with a two-year video membership."

"Xingyi TV X50, price reduced by 500, starting from 6499, with a two-year video membership."

"The Double Eleven promotion starts now and ends on November 11, when the original price will be restored. The discount time is limited and the supply is limited. Act quickly and buy as soon as possible!"
