Chapter 451: Destroy the 4th generation of iPad and short Apple!

Chapter 451: Destroy the fourth generation of iPad and short Apple!
"X1 Ultra Tablet is now available worldwide!"

The expression of Zhang Sheng, the chairman of ASE, turned completely cold, and his last bit of luck was gone.

The Xingyi Tablet X702 Ultra equipped with Kunpeng 1 is now on sale. Kunpeng 702 must have been fully mass-produced and completed the packaging and testing!

"Damn it! Wang Yi must have mastered the packaging and testing capabilities of 40-nanometer chips a long time ago, and he deliberately set me up!"

Zhang Sheng was furious and finally realized the problem: "No, I have to talk to him later!"

The vice president was speechless: "Chairman, do we really need to humiliate ourselves again?"

"!!!" Zhang Sheng's face turned pale and he was extremely angry.

However, the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra is selling like crazy!

The original Xingyi Tablet X1 pro was extremely powerful. The third-generation iPad of the same generation was discontinued half a year after it was launched, becoming the iPad with the shortest lifespan in history.

Even when compared with the fourth generation iPad, its GPU is only slightly lacking.

The Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra is now launched, equipped with Kunpeng 702, which not only makes up for the shortcomings of the GPU, but also surpasses the fourth generation of iPad. The CPU is several times better than the fourth generation of iPad.

It was launched one day earlier than the fourth generation iPad, and the result is predictable.

Those users who have prepared money and plan to buy the fourth generation iPad on the 24th, decisively rushed to the nearby Xingyi flagship store and specialty store on the 23rd to buy the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra.

There are also fans of Xingyi Technology who have placed orders to buy the most powerful tablet of the year.

The result is predictable, the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra is a total hit!

In just one hour, online sales exceeded 50 units.

This does not include offline and overseas.

Looking at this data, Wang Yi was shocked:

"It's a problem. The 300 million units we prepared are not enough."

The Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra initially prepared 300 million units of stock, including million units online, million units offline, and million units overseas.

Zhu Changlin also had a complicated expression: "Normally, it should be able to sell for at least half a month. After all, tablets are not mobile phones and are not so popular. But at this rate, it can only last for three days at most!"

"Put more orders at the factory as soon as possible!" Wang Yi said decisively: "Either don't do it, or if you do, kill it and make sure iPad has no chance of recovery!"

At present, the Xingyi mobile phone cannot be globalized, but the Xingyi tablet has been globalized and has a greater impact on the iPad.

Zhu Changlin was a little embarrassed: "Many Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra in the factory have become semi-finished products, just waiting for the Kunpeng 702 SOC chip. At present, 702 million Kunpeng 1500s have been produced, but only 600 million have been packaged and tested, and the rest are waiting in line for packaging and testing. In addition, a lot of Kunpeng 700 have been produced and are also waiting in line for packaging and testing, which leads to relatively low packaging and testing efficiency..."

Wang Yi understood.

眼下星逸B1晶圆厂月产1500万颗鲲鹏702,星逸M1晶圆厂月产1500万颗鲲鹏700,产能很是富足。

In addition, the B1 wafer factory was put into production more than a month ago and has mass-produced more than 1500 million Kunpeng 702s.

Combined with the production capacity in the next month, Kunpeng 702 will reach 3000 million, enough for Xphone 2 and Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra.

But unfortunately, the Shanghai packaging and testing plant has just been put into use, and its packaging and testing capacity cannot keep up.

This is awkward.

After all, Kunpeng 700 also has to be closed for testing.

This is also the reason why Wang Yi did not release the xphone 1 Kunpeng version and the Xingyi tablet X1 Kunpeng version.

Once it is released, some of the Kunpeng 700 will have to be freed up to make Kunpeng 506.

By then, the packaging and testing capabilities will be even more limited.

"Now that the Kunpeng version has been released, there must be no mistakes." Wang Yi made a prompt decision: "Well, Changlin, you let the packaging and testing factory in Magic City focus on packaging Kunpeng 702 first."

"What about Kunpeng 700? Tomorrow, the Kunpeng version of Xphone 1 Pro will be released, which is equipped with Kunpeng 700. Although we have packaged 700 million Kunpeng s, it is obviously not enough."

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I have my own ideas about the packaging of Kunpeng 700."

As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary walked in and said, "Chairman, Sun Moon Light Chairman Zhang wants to see you."

"Speak of the devil, here comes the devil!" Wang Yi said with a smile, "Please come in!"

Soon, Zhang Sheng walked in, but his face was extremely gloomy.

The nose is really not a nose, and the eyes are not eyes.

Wang Yi was calm and said, "Director Zhang, sit down and have some tea!"

"No, Mr. Wang's tea is too expensive. I can't afford it." Zhang Sheng said unhappily.

How could he not know that Wang Yi had tricked him?
Originally, he thought that Wang Yi could not handle the packaging technology of 40-nanometer logic chips, so he simply proposed a billion bet and subsequent orders.

But unexpectedly, Wang Yi had already mastered the 40-nanometer packaging technology and had kept it secret!
So much so that he didn't receive any news.

It was not until today when Kunpeng 702 was released and the Xingyi Tablet X702 Ultra equipped with Kunpeng 1 went on sale globally that Zhang Sheng suddenly realized it.

But unfortunately, it was too late and it was all over.

He completely lost the bet!

"Mr. Zhang, is he still angry about the bet?" Wang Yi asked with a smile.

"Humph! Director Wang is very clever. I'm just curious, when did you master the packaging and testing technology for 40-nanometer logic chips?"

Zhang Sheng asked the biggest question.

"To be honest, as early as the beginning of the year, we recruited some semiconductor talents to lay out the upstream and downstream semiconductor industry chain."

Wang Yi said calmly: "Unexpectedly, that group of people developed the 40-nanometer packaging and testing technology."

Zhang Sheng was speechless: "..."

Is this even possible?
"From what I hear, you didn't know about the 40-nanometer packaging and testing technology, Mr. Wang?"

Wang Yi nodded. "Yeah, I don't know either. I thought they were developing chips, but they turned out to be packaging chips."

Zhang Sheng was completely silent: "..."

What else can be said?
It is incredible that such an unexpected result was achieved.

In fact, these were all Mr. Hu’s ideas, and Wang Yi really didn’t know about the closed beta test.

He thought that the people brought back by Mr. Hu were all talents in the field of chip mass production, but he didn't expect that there were also talents in the packaging and testing field.

Mr. Hu didn’t think that the packaging and testing would be so easy to accomplish, so he treated it as a side project and squeezed out some funds for the packaging and testing team. Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded!

All I can say is that a tree grows into a shade without any intention.

Wang Yi made up his mind to give the packaging and testing team a bonus and four months' year-end bonus when he returned.

This year's closed beta test team, all of them are paid 16 salaries!
In fact, packaging and testing technology is also very important to determine whether the chip is powerful or not.

Samsung once snatched Apple chip orders from TSMC because of its breakthrough in packaging technology.

Later, TSMC made a major breakthrough in packaging technology. After Liang joined Samsung, he focused on chip production technology and neglected chip packaging technology, which led to stagnation of Samsung's packaging technology. Apple's orders were once again snatched away by TSMC.

Later, this incident became one of the reasons why Mr. Liang left Samsung.

Powerful packaging capabilities can make the chip thinner, achieve lower power consumption, better heat dissipation, and thus achieve stronger performance!

Therefore, Wang Yi attaches importance to chip research and development, chip production, and chip packaging!

After a long silence, Zhang Sheng sighed, "Boss Wang, you are better than me. I lost this bet. Goodbye!"

Zhang Sheng stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wang Yi: "Director Zhang."

"Director Wang, do you have any other advice? There is no need to say any more words that humiliate me."

Zhang Sheng's tone was very unfriendly.

It would have been fine if he had lost the bet, but the packaging and testing factory that could have been sold for 20 billion yuan was given to Wang Yi for 15 billion yuan, resulting in a loss of 5 million yuan.

If that's the case, I can still accept it.

The problem is that Xingyi Semiconductor has mastered the advanced 40-nanometer packaging and testing technology, becoming a strong rival of ASE!

Giving factories to the enemy at a bargain price and helping them grow rapidly is something that will make people laugh!
Fortunately, this matter has not spread yet, but it cannot be kept secret for long.

Once everyone in the industry knows about it, both Zhang Sheng and ASE will become the biggest joke.

Even Zhang Sheng suspected that Wang Yi might spread the news on his own initiative!
Wang Yi smiled faintly: "No advice, but do you have orders?"

"???"

Zhang Sheng was confused: "What do you mean?"

Wang Yi smiled and said: "The Kunpeng version of the tablet is selling very well. The sales of the Pterosaur 3000 baseband are also amazing. Currently, seven companies have placed orders for more than 1500 million units!"

Zhang Sheng's mouth twitched: "..."

What do you mean?
Are you really not a human being?
Instead of directly mocking me, you're showing off to me?

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Plus, our Shanghai packaging and testing plant has just started production, and its packaging and testing capabilities are limited. So we plan to give some orders to ASE."

Zhang Sheng was silent: "..."

The originally gloomy faces suddenly brightened up.

With some disbelief, he said, "Director Wang, are you serious?"

"Of course!" Wang Yi said decisively: "As the largest packaging and testing company, ASE has outstanding packaging and testing capabilities. We, Xingyi Semiconductor, are relieved to hand over the order to you. It's just that the order is a bit urgent."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Zhang Sheng was a little excited: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, we have four...three packaging and testing factories in the mainland. Just give us a call and we will arrange it immediately. We will definitely give you priority as soon as possible!"

"I feel relieved after hearing what Mr. Zhang said. Now, the Wing Loong 3000 baseband produced by TSMC will be transferred to you for packaging and testing. I will also give you some of the Kunpeng 700 chips for packaging and testing."

"Thank you Mr. Wang, I will give you the lowest price and the best efficiency and quality!"

Zhang Sheng was in a very good mood, and felt that he had been betraying a noble man by being a mean person.

He thought Wang Yi kept him to humiliate him, but he didn't expect that it was actually to give him a super big order.

There is no way. The current production capacity of the Shanghai packaging and testing plant is limited, with a monthly packaging and testing capacity of up to 4000 million chips.

In the next month, we can only package the 11 million Kunpeng 3000s produced in November and next month.

As for Kunpeng 700, a maximum of 1000 million units will be tested in closed beta.

But it is obvious that 1000 million Kunpeng 700s are not enough.

As we continue to recruit workers and expand production capacity, it is expected that in January, the monthly packaging and testing capacity of the Shanghai Packaging and Testing Plant will exceed 50 million pieces.

By then, the two wafer fabs will have a monthly output of 30 million pieces, plus the baseband, so there will be no pressure.

But Kunpeng 700 is in a hurry to be launched on the market, and Wing Loong 3000 is also in a hurry to be delivered, so they can't wait until January.

Mainland giants such as Changdian Technology are under pressure to package and test 40-nanometer logic chips, so Wang Yi can only turn to ASE.

The extra 500 million Kunpeng 700 and 1500 million Wing Loong 3000 basebands were all handed over to ASE for packaging and testing.

Firstly, this order can help to resolve past grievances.

In business, many friends lead to many paths.

Secondly, Wang Yi set his sights on the other three packaging and testing factories of ASE.

Let’s cooperate now and turn enemies into friends.

When ASE's business was in recession, Wang Yi took direct action and acquired ASE's remaining three packaging and testing factories in mainland China.

If there had not been this cooperation, ASE would have hated Wang Yi to death for the Shanghai Packaging and Testing Factory incident.

It would be a fantasy to acquire ASE's packaging and testing plant in the future, and Zhang Sheng couldn't bear this.

But with orders for Wing Loong 3000 baseband and Kunpeng 700, everything becomes easy.

As expected, Zhang Sheng picked up the teacup on the table and said, "Boss Wang, I am too narrow-minded. Let me drink tea instead of wine!"

Although it was not stated explicitly, the gesture of apology was enough! Wang Yi also picked up the teacup: "Xingyi Technology does not want to be an enemy of any company. We still have a lot of room for cooperation in the future."

"Yes, from now on, ASE will be the most reliable ally of Xingyi Semiconductor!" Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

Yes, Xingyi Technology’s packaging and testing capabilities may be good, but there is only one packaging and testing factory, which is not enough for its own use.

But ASE is different, it has dozens of packaging and testing plants all over the world!
It is entirely possible to take on many orders from Xingyi Semiconductor.

But unfortunately, Zhang Sheng thought too simply.

The order Wang Yi placed was just to play the long game and catch the big fish.

The original intention is to ease the relationship between the two sides and fully acquire ASE's three mainland packaging and testing factories in the future!

In the future, Xingyi Semiconductor’s explosion will have to be an all-round explosion.

Chip design, chip mass production, chip packaging and testing!

Indispensable.

Packaging and testing factories are also indispensable.

Wang Yi knows clearly that powerful packaging and testing technology can change the fate of a generation of chips.

First-rate chips, third-rate packaging and testing, ultimately only second-rate.

On the contrary, second-rate chips and first-rate packaging and testing also have the hope of reaching quasi-first-rate levels.

More importantly, currently wafer fabs and packaging and testing plants are mostly separate, but ASE is still a giant.

But in the future, both wafer fabs and packaging and testing plants will shoulder the same responsibilities.

For example, Samsung Semiconductor is a wafer foundry + chip packaging and testing company.

TSMC has also begun to focus on packaging and testing, but unfortunately the technology is just in its infancy and there is no problem in packaging and testing small chips.

Like the previous fast-charging chip C1 and smart home chip H1, these low-level small chips are all manufactured by TSMC and directly packaged, tested, and cut.

However, TSMC’s packaging and testing capabilities are not sufficient for logic chips such as the Wing Loong 3000 baseband, so Wang Yi can only hand it over to ASE.

However, a few years later, TSMC's packaging and testing capabilities began to make a qualitative leap, even surpassing ASE.

By then, the one-stop service of wafer foundry + chip packaging and testing will be provided, and the good days of ASE will be over.

In fact, TSMC and SMIC will follow this path in the future.

Similarly, Xingyi Semiconductor will also develop in this way, providing one-stop service of wafer foundry + chip packaging and testing.

To this end, Xingyi Semiconductor needs to acquire more packaging and testing factories and invest in building more packaging and testing factories.

It is best to build it next to a wafer fab or near a mobile phone factory.

In this way, the chips that have completed packaging and testing can go directly to the factory, greatly reducing the chip transportation cost and time cost.

In addition to the packaging and testing plant in Shanghai, we will build another packaging and testing plant in the capital and Jeju!

The packaging and testing plant in Didu is close to Didu wafer factory and Didu mobile phone factory, while the packaging and testing plant in Jeju is close to Xingyi mobile phone super factory and tablet factory.

There are also several packaging and testing factories of ASE in mainland China, which will all be acquired in the future!

"Mr. Wang, don't worry. I have arranged for people to package Xingyi Semiconductor's chips as soon as they arrive!"

After signing the contract, Zhang Sheng was in a good mood.

This time, it directly won the packaging and testing order for 1500 million Wing Loong 3000 basebands and 500 million Kunpeng 700 basebands.

Zhang Sheng was so happy that he had no idea that this would be the last highlight moment of SUMOGUANG.

There is no other reason. Without ASE, chip foundry giants such as Samsung and TSMC can do their own packaging.

But without chip foundry giants such as Samsung and TSMC, ASE will have no chips to seal.

This cooperation will also be of great benefit to Xingyi Technology.

With ASE's packaging and testing, efficiency can be greatly improved.

Next, there will be no problem in fully supplying Kunpeng versions of mobile phones and tablets.

Today's hot searches are all monopolized by Xingyi Technology and Kunpeng chips.

Not just domestically, but also abroad.

[Reuters: Xingyi Semiconductor is ahead of Apple, Qualcomm, and Samsung and is the first to launch the world's first SOC chip with integrated baseband, Kunpeng 700! ]

[BBC: Xingyi Technology released its annual flagship chip Kunpeng 702, which beats Qualcomm APQ 8064 and Apple A6X and is considered the strongest chip on earth! ]

【Jingbao: Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra is now on sale worldwide, completely crushing the fourth generation of iPad. 】

[The Guardian: Xingyi Semiconductor is rising strongly, and all Apple products are being beaten! ]

[Ta Kung Pao: Xingyi mobile phone and Xingyi tablet will be fully upgraded to Kunpeng 700/702, with powerful performance! ]

……

Seeing these news, many foreigners who woke up were confused:

"What do you mean? I just took a nap, and Qualcomm APQ 8064 was beaten?"

"What the hell is Kunpeng 702 SOC? It's even more powerful than the newly released A6X?"

"Fuck, the CPU is several times that of A6X, Kunpeng 702 is invincible!"

"I still want to buy the fourth generation of iPad, now go and buy the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!"

"Apple A6X was beaten, Nvidia Tegra 3 was beaten, Qualcomm APQ 8064 was beaten, is Kunpeng 702 so powerful?"

"Is it fake? I don't believe it! I guess it's all fake data made by Xingyi Technology itself."

"Yes, it must be fake data!"

"What the hell, this is fake! Didn't you see that these data were all measured by ARM? The chairman of ARM personally endorsed it, how could it be fake?"

"If it's not fake data, how could Qualcomm, Apple, and Nvidia lose to Xingyi Technology? A Xia country company."

"Why is this impossible? The iPhone has been beaten by the Xingyi phone."

"The third generation of iPad was also outclassed by the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro and was discontinued after only six months on the market."

"Yeah, that's true. Xia Country is rising too fast."

"I have already ordered the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra, but I still have to wait for the Kunpeng version of the Xphone 2 to be shipped. I am really worried."

……

In the early morning of the 24th, most people in the East went to sleep, while the carnival in the West was in full swing.

But on this day, the target of everyone’s rush to buy was not the fourth generation iPad, but the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!

Many Apple fans arrived at the Apple flagship store, but saw a long queue at the Xingyi flagship store across the street.

After learning about the power of the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra, they also joined in and lined up to buy it.

On the contrary, the Apple flagship store is deserted.

Such a scene is happening in Western countries.

Cook was furious when he saw it, but he had no choice:

"Kunpeng 702 was released, and the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra was launched. I expected the iPad th generation to lose, but I didn't expect it to lose so badly!"

“How tragic!”

"It's terrible!"

"Don't even mention the sales volume, just look at these customers."

"There were not many people in our Apple store. In the Xingyi flagship store, customers lined up in long queues. The gap is too big. Many people who were planning to buy iPads were led to the Xingyi flagship store and bought the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra."

The marketing director was also full of emotion: "What's even more outrageous is that many customers in our store didn't come to buy the iPad 1th generation, but bought the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra from the store next door, and brought the Xingyi Tablet X Ultra to our store to compare with our iPad th generation!"

"!!!" Cook's mouth twitched: "Can we still play like this?"

"That's it. They are so shameless."

For a moment, the vice president and Cook's mentality collapsed.

Killing can only be done with a nod of the head.

It would be fine if you didn't buy it, but you brought your purchased products from other competitors to our store for comparison. Finally, I would like to say that the fourth generation iPad is really rubbish. Its configuration, lens, performance and other aspects are not as good as the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!

It's simply inhumane!

It is because of these words that many users who originally planned to buy iPad began to hesitate.

Many people went directly to the Xingyi flagship store opposite and bought the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!

Cook didn't know what to say.

The vice president couldn't help but ask, "Chairman, how should we deal with this? Should we immediately develop the next generation iPad 5?"

Cook sighed and said, "The fifth generation of iPad is not very meaningful. We have used all the technology we have in reserve on the fourth generation. As for the fifth generation, we will talk about it in a few years. However, we can develop the second generation of iPad mini."

In the past, after the release of the fourth generation iPad, it took five years before the fifth generation iPad was released.

The vice president nodded and said, "We have to develop the second generation of iPad mini, but we won't release the fifth generation of iPad. We can't compete with the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra."

Cook thought for a moment and said, "You're right. In this case, we have to develop a new iPad, but we can't call it iPad 5. We need to call it iPad Air, with higher configuration and price, to make it high-end!"

“Use iPad Air to beat the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!”

"Okay!" the vice president replied. This was the only solution.

More importantly, the new iPhone and new iPad will not be released until next fall.

I’m afraid that by that time, Xingyi Technology will have launched even more powerful new products.

We are not afraid of our competitors leading us, but we are afraid that our competitors will lead us for generations, far ahead, and in a circle.

For example, the iPhone 5, which was just released three months ago, was not only beaten by the xphone 2 of the same period, but also by the previous generation xphone 1pro Kunpeng version.

“Oh, I hope our stock price doesn’t drop as much,” the vice president sighed.

Cook was furious: "Shut up, you crow mouth!"

He has been enduring it all day today.

The vice president is a crow's mouth. Whatever he says comes true without any error.

The result was that the iPhone and iPad were beaten one after another throughout the whole day.

Now let’s talk about the stock price…

Will the stock price also...

Cook was a little worried and couldn't help but open the US stock market, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat:
"Fuck, thanks to your bad words, the stock price has really dropped, it has dropped by 15%!"

"It's still falling, it's falling endlessly!"

"Farke, Farke!"

However, Wang Yi was in a good mood about this.

A month ago, after Apple released the fourth generation of iPad and the extremely powerful A6X, Wang Yi shorted Apple!
At that time, the iPad had just been released, and the A6X had unrivaled performance, with its GPU performance said to be four or five times that of Nvidia's Tegra 3...

This caused Apple's stock price to soar, and investors were optimistic that Apple could turn the tide with the fourth-generation iPad and A6X.

Only Wang Yi was not optimistic. He arranged a team to secretly short sell and cash out at a high price.

Now, Apple’s stock price has plummeted, and the time to reap the rewards is almost here!
