Chapter 447 Strategic New Product Launch Conference, Kunpeng SOC is unveiled!

"Now, 702 million Kunpeng SOC chips have arrived at the Shanghai Packaging and Testing Factory. They are being fully packaged and tested, and there will be no delay in progress."

Mr. Hu's words were like a reassurance, making Wang Yi completely relieved.

With the Shanghai Packaging and Testing Plant, the packaging and testing efficiency has been greatly improved.

Not to mention 10 million chips, even 30 million chips can be handled by the Shanghai Packaging and Testing Factory.

In this way, the packaging and testing issues of Kunpeng 702 and Kunpeng 700 will be completely solved.

"By the way, Chairman, 3000 million units of the Wing Loong 200 baseband chip manufactured by TSMC have also been shipped back and are also undergoing packaging and testing," said Mr. Hu.

"Good, Xingyi Semiconductor is completely on the right track." Wang Yi was in a good mood.

Mr. Hu was a little worried: "But for now, no big customers have chosen to buy it. This is a big problem."

Wang Yi didn't care: "Don't worry, it will be there soon."

Since the last time Wang Yi scolded the marketing department, the marketing department has begun to reform.

The marketing business KPI of Xingyi Technology increased by 30%. The marketing department of Xingyi Semiconductor was separated and the salary was increased and the staff was expanded, which attracted a large number of marketing elites to join.

Nowadays, all major domestic brands have business teams to connect with them, especially the support for mobile 3G, which has achieved true full network access. Coupled with the appropriate price, it has been favored by many manufacturers.

Several brands have already started testing, and as long as the test is fine, there is a high probability that an order will be placed.

Wang Yi is not worried about this.

He knew very well the strategic significance of full network access in Xia Country and how important it was.

Especially when Qualcomm's 3G baseband does not support mobile 3G, this is the opportunity for Wing Loong 3000.

As for directly buying Qualcomm's 4G baseband?

Domestic brands are not so stupid. After all, Qualcomm’s 3G baseband is very expensive, and 4G baseband is even more expensive!

Moreover, after buying a 4G baseband, you also have to buy a matching 4G transceiver, which is much more expensive than a 3G transceiver.

After all, global 4G has only just started a few years ago, and domestic equipment has not yet been realized, so the cost is naturally extremely high.

At a time when there is no 4G in China, all major manufacturers are thinking about how to reduce costs and budgets. No one wants to increase costs. Forcing Qualcomm 4G baseband and Xingyi Semiconductor's Wing Loong 3000 baseband is the best choice.

Wang Yi is confident about this.

"Chairman, when will our Kunpeng chip be officially launched?"

With such a powerful chip, even Mr. Hu wants to show off his muscles.

Wang Yi thought for a moment and said, "It will be soon. Let's say on the 23rd. On the 23rd, Xingyi Technology will hold a strategic conference and officially announce the Kunpeng chip!"

"The 23rd?" Mr. Hu was interested. "Apple's iPad 24th generation will be released on the 23th. We will have a development meeting on the rd. This will be interesting. Poor Apple, it was thinking of turning the tables with the iPad th generation, but ended up getting hit again!"

Mr. Hu knew that Wang Yi had specially made a Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra version, just to compete with the iPad th generation!
“By then, Xingyi Wafer Factory’s ability to mass produce 40 nanometers and Xingyi Packaging and Testing Factory’s ability to package and test 40 nanometers will no longer be hidden,” Mr. Hu said meaningfully.

Wang Yi nodded. "It's time to show the sword. The Double Eleven promotion is over, and there are only a few Tegra 3 and APQ 8064 chips left. We have hidden our Kunpeng 702 for a month. It's time to show the sword and kill Apple without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Mr. Hu said with a smile, "As for ASE, Mr. Zhang will be very happy if he finds out that we have already developed the packaging technology for 40-nanometer chips."

"Yes, send an invitation letter to Director Zhang and invite him to attend our strategic conference!"

"After all, there is a gambling agreement, and he should know the result in person." Wang Yi was full of evil humor.

If Mr. Zhang didn't look down on Xingyi Semiconductor and didn't deliberately try to trick Wang Yi, Wang Yi wouldn't have retaliated like this.

"Hahaha, Director Zhang must be furious. Not only did he lose 10 billion yuan in profit, but he also lost follow-up orders!"

"We can't help it. If you cheat others, you will be cheated by others. If Director Zhang doesn't want to cheat us and asks for a real price, even if it's 20 billion, we will take it. But Director Zhang is too greedy, so we can only accept 15 billion."

The strategic alliance Wang Yi needs is an absolutely reliable alliance.

Instead of being an ally that can betray the United States at any time and in any place when it is cornered.

Obviously, TSMC and ASE are both capable of turning against us at any time.

Wang Yi would not even consider this kind of ally. He would just make a comprehensive breakthrough and replace him!
ASE Group.

The vice president approached Zhang Sheng and said, "Chairman, are you and Mr. Wang being a little too impulsive in your bet? If we lose, the Magic City Packaging and Testing Factory will be sold to Wang Yi for 15 billion. That's too cheap!"

Zhang Sheng was confident: "Don't worry, we won't lose. They can't come up with the packaging technology for 40-nanometer logic chips."

"What if? It's always better to be safe than sorry!" The vice president was still a little worried.

"No matter what happens, Xingyi Technology will not be able to develop 40-nanometer chip packaging technology within eight months at least."

Zhang Sheng didn't care: "To be precise, it's not eight months, but four months, or even two months, they will give up and surrender!"

"What do you mean?" The vice president was becoming more and more confused.

Zhang Sheng smiled slightly: "Now Xingyi Technology has acquired the Magic City Packaging and Testing Factory, but it does not have the technology and cannot be mass-produced."

"Such a large packaging and testing factory is just left empty, wasting resources every day, while employees' salaries have to be paid as usual."

"Otherwise, the employees will definitely resign, and Xingyi Semiconductor will have to pay severance pay. In addition, the subsequent production and re-recruitment will be another expense."

"These are all costs, and Xingyi Technology simply can't afford them."

"It can be said that if the Magic City Packaging and Testing Plant is idle for one more month, Xingyi Technology will have to pay a lot of extra costs. If this continues, Xingyi Technology will not be able to bear it."

“If Xingyi Technology can master the 40-nanometer packaging and testing technology within a month or two and quickly start packaging and testing, that would be good.”

“But if they fail to figure out the packaging and testing technology for more than two months, they will not be able to bear the daily expenses of the packaging and testing factory alone.”

"Plus, our gambling agreement clearly stipulates that Wang Yi cannot use the packaging and testing technology of other companies. At that time, they will have no choice but to bow their heads and pay 10 billion US dollars to introduce our ASE technology!"

The vice president's eyes lit up: "The chairman is very wise. No wonder he left all the workers of the Magic City Packaging and Testing Factory to Xingyi Technology. It is just to make Xingyi Technology pay wages every day and increase the burden!"

"That's right. Only when Xingyi Technology is overwhelmed and its own technology is far from being developed, will it be unable to bear it and will it bow its head and admit defeat and buy our technology!"

Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "But at that time, we had the final say. We paid 10 billion yuan for the technology licensing fee, but we didn't allow them to have access to the core technology. All subsequent orders from Xingyi Semiconductor had to be given to us!"

“Then we’ll make a fortune!”

The vice president was very happy and admired Mr. Zhang very much.

However, just as the two were fantasizing about a bright future, a piece of news shocked the entire Internet:
[On November 11, Mayu Technology Exhibition and Sales Center held a strategic new product launch conference and released the killer product of the year! ]

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Internet was in an uproar, especially the fans of Xingyi Technology, who were even more interested:

"It's here, it's finally here, Xingyi Technology hasn't held a press conference for nearly three months!"

"Really? The last press conference was on September 9st when the Xphone 1 was released. It's been almost three months!"

"I'm looking forward to it. I was very satisfied with the Xphone 2 last time. What will be released this time? Could it be the second generation of the Xingyi tablet?"

"Not really? The Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro is already very powerful, there's no need to rush to release the second generation, right?"

"It's not powerful at all, the GPU performance is only a quarter of that of the fourth generation iPad!"

"Bah! You believe Cook's bullshit? The actual performance is only twice as good."

"That's right. For this matter, Old Huang is going to duel with Cook in the cage."

"The difference of one GPU is also terrifying. The Xingyi tablet is still out of date."

"Outdated, why don't you say that the new iPad's CPU performance is twice as bad as the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro from half a year ago?"

"Besides, the fourth generation of iPad was released half a year later, and its GPU is only twice as advanced, so there is nothing to brag about."

"When the second generation of Xingyi tablet is released, the CPU will continue to crush the iPad, and the GPU will be able to beat the fourth generation of iPad. Apple is getting worse and worse."

"I'm really looking forward to this conference. What exactly is the killer weapon of the year?"

……

At the same time, ASE Chairman Zhang Sheng also received an invitation from Wang Yi:
"Wang Yi invited me to attend their press conference. What's his plan?"

"Shall we go then?" asked the vice president.

"Of course I'll go. I also want to see what will be released at Xingyi Technology's strategic new product launch conference."

Zhang Sheng smiled cheerfully: "I guess it is the Kunpeng chip. It's just that the chip has been released. If it can't be packaged, then it will be interesting."

“Hahaha, it’s really embarrassing if the research and development is successful but it cannot be packaged.” The vice president also laughed.

"Just wait and see what Xingyi Technology has to offer. Arrange your schedule and I'll be there in person!"

Zhang said with a smile: "After the press conference, Kunpeng chips will be eager to be launched, and they will look for TSMC to manufacture them, and then introduce our packaging technology."

"In this case, doesn't that mean Wang Yi has lost the bet?"

"Of course, the outcome of the so-called bet was determined from the beginning. Wang Yi has no chance of winning at all. We are just waiting to receive the 10 billion licensing fee and all subsequent packaging and testing orders from Xingyi Semiconductor!"

Zhang Sheng's smile became more and more brilliant.

"Then I will arrange the technical team right away, and send them to the Magic City Packaging and Testing Factory as soon as Wang Yi pays the money."

"Well, let's make the arrangements. Either use our technology to package and test, or let us do the packaging and testing for them! Xingyi Semiconductor's chips cannot escape the palm of our hands!"

Zhang Sheng is full of confidence: "As long as we can take all the hundreds of millions of orders from Xingyi Semiconductor every year, our ASE Group can go further!"

"It's exciting just thinking about it." The vice president was also full of longing.

Apple headquarters.

Cook frowned slightly: "We will release the fourth generation iPad on the 24th, and they will hold a press conference on the 23rd!" "It's the same thing again!"

"Fuck, this guy is coming for us!"

"How abominable!"

The vice president also had a complicated expression: "I just don't know what tricks they will come up with this time. Will it be the second generation of Xingyi tablet? If so, then our fourth generation advantage will be gone."

Cook sighed: "The only advantage of the fourth generation iPad over the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro is that our GPU is at least twice as powerful as the NVIDIA GPU of the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro. In other aspects, it is really inferior to the other party. If they release a new generation of tablets, it will really be a problem. It depends on how much the GPU is improved."

The vice president agreed: "Xingyi Technology's self-developed chip is said to have caught up with Nvidia Tegra 3, but there is no difference. It is still no match for A6X. I am not worried. I am just afraid that their second generation will be replaced with Qualcomm APQ 8064. After all, the performance of APQ 8064 is about the same as our A6X GPU, and the CPU is at least twice as advanced as ours!"

"Yes, if they really use APQ 8064, it will be a big problem. The advantages of the fourth generation iPad will be gone. With Wang Yi's style, it is very likely that he will use APQ 8064!"

Cook also frowned. "The key is whether they can make it. Let's have someone check whether Xingyi Technology has increased orders for APQ 8064 processors recently. If they have, then we will be in big trouble."

"Okay, I'll have someone check it out!" The vice president quickly arranged for someone to investigate.

Through professional corporate espionage, the news soon got back.

The vice president approached Cook again: "Chairman, something is wrong!"

"What's going on? Did Xingyi Technology really place an order for the APQ 8064 chip? Are they planning to launch the second generation of Xingyi tablets to compete with our fourth generation iPads?"

Cook's face turned pale and he looked unwell.

The vice president shook his head: "No!"

"..." Cook frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Chairman, Xingyi Technology not only did not increase the order for APQ 8064 chips, it even reduced the purchase. To be more precise, it stopped purchasing!"

"..." Cook was stunned and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The vice president said: "According to the information we have, Xingyi Technology signed an order for 500 million APQ 8064 chips with Qualcomm in the first half of the year, and added 1500 million in August. In September, it added 2000 million, and in October, it added 1000 million, for a total of 5000 million APQ 8064 chips."

"But they have been almost all used up in the past three months. Especially during the Double 2 promotion, the sales of Xphone 20 have skyrocketed, with sales exceeding 1200 million units in the 2 days of this month. In addition, they have sold nearly 4500 million units of parallel-imported products overseas. So, the cumulative sales of Xphone have exceeded million units!"

"In other words, Xingyi Technology has less than five million APQ 8064 chips in stock. If we sell a few more at the end of the month, there will probably only be about three million left next month. That's not enough to sell!"

Cook nodded and said, "Next month's shipment of Xphone 2 will be at least million units. Three million units are definitely not enough. We should have placed an order long ago, otherwise we will be out of stock next month!"

"Yes, but unfortunately, Xingyi Technology has not placed any orders for any of them. The Xphone 2 is so popular now, it is simply a cash cow. It is impossible for Wang Yi not to place any orders when it is out of stock. This is unreasonable, unless he has other plans and wants to change the chip!"

"Hiss!" Cook took a breath of cold air: "Could it be that Wang Yi will use the self-developed Kunpeng 702 to replace Qualcomm APQ 8064?"

"Isn't this impossible? The self-developed Kunpeng 702 can only catch up with Nvidia Tegra 3 and is far behind Qualcomm APQ 8064. How can it replace it?"

The vice president was confused.

"Yeah, I don't understand it either. But if it wasn't for this, Wang Yi would have placed an order for APQ 8064 long ago, and it would have been impossible for the hot-selling Xphone 2 to be out of stock."

Cook was confused and had no idea what was going on: "Unless Wang Yi really wants to use Kunpeng 702 to replace APQ 8064 and Nvidia Tegra 3, thereby reducing costs and increasing profits."

“Although it feels a little wrong, it is also the biggest possibility. After changing to Kunpeng 702, the performance has declined a bit, but with the added bonus of self-developed chips, it is estimated that the sales volume will not be greatly affected.”

"That's right. If sales don't drop and profits increase, Wang Yi will make money." Cook grinned. "But this is a good thing for us. We are not afraid of Wang Yi using Kunpeng 702, but we are afraid of Wang Yi placing an order for APQ 8064."

"That's right. Kunpeng 702 is at most at the level of Nvidia Tegra 3, so there's nothing to worry about. If he orders APQ 8064 and launches the second generation of Xingyi tablet, that would be a disaster for our new iPad. But it's a pity that Wang Yi trusts Kunpeng 702 too much and would rather go backwards. This is a good thing for us."

Cook nodded, in a good mood: "Yes, the next headache will be Qualcomm and Nvidia. Once Xingyi Technology's super large order is gone, both Nvidia and Qualcomm will suffer heavy losses."

"That would be the biggest benefit to Apple. Hahahaha. Chairman, we should open the champagne and celebrate."

"Yes, let's celebrate! I wish Wang Yi can defeat Qualcomm and Nvidia!"

“I wish the Android camp will see vicious competition and Apple will dominate the world!”

The two were in a very good mood, as if they saw the Android camp falling apart and going downhill, while Apple was exploding with strength and had a bright future.

Qualcomm Chairman Jacobs was also confused!
"It's already the 21st, and Xingyi Technology hasn't added any orders yet?"

"No, Chairman, there has never been one." The subordinate was somewhat helpless:
"In fact, apart from the additional order of 8064 million APQ in early October, Xingyi Technology has not placed any additional orders for a month and a half, and will soon be out of stock."

"How could this be?"

"This is unscientific!"

The more Jacob thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong: "Didn't Wang Yi replace Nvidia Tegra 702 with Kunpeng 3? Why did he stop placing orders for APQ 8064?"

"Could it be possible that they have replaced our APQ 8064 as well?"

Jacob's face changed drastically, and a horrible thought came to his mind.

Then he shook his head violently:

"No, it won't. Xingyi Technology bought 5000 million APQ 8064s from us. The cooperation between the two parties is going smoothly. Xphone 2 is not only popular in Xiaguo, but also popular in overseas parallel imports around the world."

"If we continue to cooperate, we can purchase tens of millions of APQ 8064s!"

"If Wang Yi continues to get rid of parallel imports, Xphone will crush iPhone 2 in two years, and sales are expected to exceed 5 million units!"

“Our APQ 8064 sales can also exceed million, or even hundreds of millions!”

“They’re not going to give up APQ 8064, no.”

The subordinate frowned and said, "Chairman, what if? I mean, what if Wang Yi wants to go backwards and replace our APQ 702 with the Kunpeng 8064, which has worse performance? You know, the Xphone 2 is so powerful and invincible in the world. Even if the processor goes backwards, it will not affect sales."

“This…” Jacob was silent, but he was worried in his heart.

Especially when I think about the fact that Wang Yi hasn’t placed any orders for a month and a half.

It's almost out of stock, no more orders...

Jacob became even more flustered.

The more I think about it, the more likely it becomes!

As a result, Jacob didn't sleep well for the next two days and couldn't sleep all night.

It was not until November 11, when Xingyi Technology's new product launch conference was held, that Jacob stayed up late to watch the live broadcast with dark circles under his eyes.

On this day, the Miyu Techno Park Exhibition and Sales Center in Jeju was bustling with people.

The event was attended by many media and celebrities.

Everyone knows that this press conference is extraordinary.

It is not only a strategic press conference for Xingyi Technology, but also the most important press conference this year.

There is no other reason. In addition to government leaders, there were also many foreigners attending the press conference.

Especially talents in the semiconductor field.

This made Zhang Sheng, the chairman of ASE, a little unsure.

The vice president next to him looked to the left and was terrified:

"Chairman, look, the guy who just came in, isn't that Brett Alam, the chairman of ARM?"

"The chairman of ARM? That's impossible, right?"

Zhang Sheng frowned, and after a closer look, his expression changed drastically: "Fuck, it's really true!"

“But why did the ARM chairman come to the Xingyi Technology conference? Just because we use ARM’s architecture? That’s not necessary, right?” The vice president was confused.

Zhang Sheng shook his head: "Not really. Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, MediaTek, HiSilicon, all use ARM's V7 architecture, and I haven't seen the chairman of ARM personally support them. Not to mention Xingyi Semiconductor, a new semiconductor company."

"Yeah, I have no idea. What's going on?"

"Let's see, I always feel that this conference is a little unusual. And it gives me an uneasy feeling."

Zhang Sheng frowned, feeling that the situation was beginning to get out of control and seemed beyond their control.

Especially with the presence of the ARM chairman, even Zhang Sheng, who was confident of winning, felt unsure.

Jacob, the chairman of Qualcomm, who was watching the live broadcast, also frowned: "Brett Alam is here, Wang Yi is so honored! Or have they reached a secret cooperation?"

"Chairman, could it be that ARM invested in Xingyi Semiconductor? And Kunpeng 702 is said to be developed by Xingyi Semiconductor, but it is actually developed by ARM? It's just a shell?"

Jacob thought for a moment and took a deep breath: "It's possible. ARM is a little unwilling to just sell licenses. How can it make more money by selling licenses and chips together?"

Huang, chairman of Nvidia, who stayed up late to watch the live broadcast, also had a drastic change of expression:
"Could it be that ARM is behind Xingyi Semiconductor? Is Kunpeng 702 made by ARM? No wonder it has caught up with our Tegra 3 so quickly!"

"Fuck! Selling licenses is not enough, ARM also wants a piece of the mobile chip pie! How greedy!"

As people from all walks of life were speculating, the press conference officially began and Wang Yi took the stage:

"Thank you all for coming from thousands, even tens of thousands of miles, to come to the Xingyi Technology Strategy Conference. Thank you."

Applause broke out, everyone became excited, and the competitors were full of nervousness!

Every time Xingyi Technology holds a press conference, the entire industry experiences a major earthquake. I wonder what will be disrupted this time!
"This press conference is full of useful information. First of all, we will release several chips!"

"The first one, the Yilong 3000 baseband, a true 3G full network baseband!"

"In China, we have China Unicom 3G, China Telecom 3G, and China Mobile 3G. This means that all current mobile phones do not support full network access. Those that support China Unicom 3G do not support China Telecom 3G, and those that support China Telecom 3G do not support China Mobile 3G..."

"This brings up a big problem. If users want to change their packages, they have to see if their phones support it. If they want to buy a phone, they have to see if their number can be used!"

"This has invisibly caused trouble for many users and restricted their freedom."
