Chapter 566: Opening champagne halfway, zero sales of Qualcomm chips?

"That's right, we are forcing Xingyi Technology to publicly release those shameful data!" Jacob said with a smile.

A group of senior executives suddenly realized and echoed:

"This is a brilliant move! It's an open conspiracy! Once we openly ask, Xingyi Technology will be caught in a dilemma regardless of whether it announces the information or not."

"Let's announce it. The sales volume is too low. It's not worth showing off. It will make a fool of itself."

"If we don't announce it, we will be questioned and scolded if we are too shy!"

"That's right, this is an open conspiracy!"

Jacob smiled faintly: "In the field of mobile phone chips, no one can be a rival of Qualcomm, let alone snatch orders from Qualcomm! It's unrealistic!"

Soon, Qualcomm officially responded: [Thanks to Xingyi Semiconductor for your blessing, our chips will sell well. At the same time, we look forward to Xingyi Semiconductor actively exchanging sales results and making progress together.]

Looking at Qualcomm's reply, Wang Yi burst out laughing: "Qualcomm, Qualcomm, you really won't cry until you see the coffin. Haha."

Subsequently, Xingyi Technology quickly responded: [No problem, let’s communicate together, make progress together, and actively create a high-quality semiconductor ecological environment! ]

"Hahahaha, Xingyi Technology actually fell for it."

"I really promised to make the sales data public!"

"They're dead!"

The vice president of Qualcomm was very excited, but Jacob frowned.

It's a bit abnormal that the other party is so calm.

Something is wrong!
But what's wrong?

Jacob thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

Another vice president came out holding a bottle of treasured champagne:
"It's not that I'm arrogant, but I have great confidence in Qualcomm. Xingyi Technology has agreed to release sales data, so we can open the champagne and celebrate in advance!"

"Yes, open the champagne in advance to celebrate!"

Everyone spoke up, full of joy, and then looked at Jacob.

In order not to dampen everyone’s enthusiasm, Jacob waved his hand and said, “One bottle is not enough. Go, get me my treasured bottle of Romanée Conti from 04!”

"A 04 Romanée Conti, that would cost several hundred thousand dollars, right?"

"Without $30, don't even think about it."

"Praise the Chairman, I'm in for a treat this time."

"We also have to thank Xingyi Semiconductor. If they hadn't been so lame, we wouldn't have won a great victory, and the chairman wouldn't have used the 04 Romanée Conti to celebrate!"

"Yes, thanks to Xingyi Semiconductor for your help."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed and opened champagne to celebrate.

The explosive music started, and everyone twisted their fat bellies and danced wildly.

Then, one after another, beautiful blonde and blue-eyed women poured in.

With a graceful figure, charming eyes, she threw herself into my arms passionately and unrestrainedly.

"Oh, shit! It's this chick again, awesome!"

"You guys drink first, I'll go out for a while."

A pot-bellied executive drank the wine in his hand, hugged his partner who looked a little stiff, and walked towards the bathroom not far away.

A burst of laughter came from behind:
"Hahaha, this guy Woods is still so impatient."

"He's always been like this."

"But isn't the woman he chose as his companion the one from White Elephant?

"Huh? He's a transgender? Woods is so pitiful."

"Tsk! How do you know that Woods doesn't know about this?"

"???"

"Woods has lacked love since he was a child, so he likes that type..."

"I see, this is really fun..."

"Drink, drink."

“Come on, take a picture and tweet it!”

"Yes, let everyone know that we are sure to win the trade show tomorrow. Let's open the champagne in advance to celebrate."

……

Soon, a photo of champagne celebration appeared on the Twitter of Qualcomm's vice president.

It caused an uproar again.

However, Wang Yi was too lazy to pay attention to this.

The next day, the Qualcomm chip exhibition officially began.

Qualcomm Chairman Jacob appeared at the scene in high spirits and high spirits, just waiting for the chips to sell well and then launch a dimensionality reduction attack on Xingyi Semiconductor's trading volume.

This proves to the world that Qualcomm is the absolute king in the field of mobile chips, no doubt about it!

Looking up, I saw many brands at the scene.

Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC, Blackberry, Motorola, Lenovo, ZTE, O, V, TCL, Nokia, etc.

But Jacob still frowned.

There are many brands coming to this chip exhibition, but not many from Xiaguo.

It would have been fine if Meizu and Xiaomi didn’t come, but even Coolpad and Gionee didn’t come!

Especially Coolpad and Gionee, both have annual sales of tens of millions, which is still very impressive.

He didn’t even come!
Jacob was somewhat unhappy that four Xiaguo brands were missing all of a sudden.

However, what is even more unpleasant is that although other brands have come to attend this chip exhibition, many of the people who came from these companies are not the top leaders or the second-in-command, and some are even just a representative who just shows up.

This is not a good thing.

And it's not normal!
It stands to reason that at Qualcomm's chip launch conference, if not the chairman of each major mobile phone manufacturer, at least the head of the mobile phone department would be present!

For example, in the case of ZTE, even if the group’s chairman doesn’t come, ZTE Mobile President Ni should also come.

But unfortunately, not only did President Ni not come, but even the vice president did not come. They only sent the head of the US region!

Such perfunctory attitude is actually a bit disrespectful to Qualcomm.

The problem is that it would be fine if it was just one company, but the same is true for O, V, and TCL.

Even Sony and HTC are like this!

Only the presidents of Samsung, LG and Motorola mobile phones attended in person.

This is not normal!
Could it be that he went to attend the Xingyi Semiconductor chip exhibition? Didn't make it here?

Jacob's face darkened.

Then he rejected the idea.

There are two days between the Xingyi Semiconductor exhibition and the Qualcomm exhibition. Even if you go to the Xingyi Semiconductor exhibition, you will still have time to attend the Qualcomm chip exhibition!
More importantly, even if you really have to choose one between the two, you should obviously give up Xingyi Technology and choose Qualcomm.

After all, Xingyi Technology only has one 4G chip, while Qualcomm has four 4G chips, ranging from entry-level to high-end flagship!
So what's the reason?
Jacob was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

I can only start introducing my own chips one by one:

"We at Qualcomm have the flagship chip Snapdragon 800, which integrates a 4G baseband..."

"The mid-range chip, Snapdragon 600, can be equipped with an external 3G baseband or 4G baseband."

"Low-end chip, Snapdragon 400, integrated 4G baseband..."

"Entry-level chip, Snapdragon 200, can be equipped with an external 3G baseband or 4G baseband..."

Jacob introduced them one by one, and everyone's expressions were very calm.

The president of LG Mobile couldn't help but complain:
"Qualcomm is a bit disappointing. Even in this day and age, it still requires an external baseband, which not only increases the technical difficulty, but also increases heat generation and power consumption. Bad review!"

"Look at Xingyi Technology. Whether it's a 3G chip or a 4G chip, all of them have integrated basebands, which saves trouble and has powerful performance!"

"Shit, I must have been crazy when I bought the Snapdragon 800!"

“We should have purchased Kunpeng 902 from the beginning!”

"HTC is smart. It started to turn to Xingyi Technology last year and boosted sales with the Kunpeng 702 SOC."

“No wonder Wang Hong didn’t attend the Qualcomm press conference, but sent a representative to show up.”

"I've experienced the power of Kunpeng chips. I can no longer look down on Qualcomm chips!"

Representatives from other parties also expressed their feelings:
"It's a rubbish Qualcomm, it's all 32-bit processors, why buy it?"

"Next year, Android will all be 64-bit. If we continue to use 32-bit processors, even if the mobile phone manufacturers agree, many consumers will refuse, which will affect sales."

"The Kunpeng processor is still the best. Qualcomm is really terrible."

"Well, it all depends on the final price. If the price is particularly good, I can still place an order."

Jacob continued to boast:
"Our Snapdragon chips are very powerful, and all are made with 28-nanometer technology. Unlike our competitors next door, they only have one 28-nanometer chip, and the rest are all 40-nanometer!"

As soon as the words fell, the scene fell into dead silence.

The president of Nokia took it very seriously and agreed with it, but the other presidents had complicated expressions and were full of disdain.

I was complaining crazily in my heart:

"Just one 28nm chip? That's ridiculous. Xingyi Technology has come up with four, no, eight, and even special versions for tablets and TVs!"

"Qualcomm, Qualcomm, you are a joke, and you are madly dragging down Xingyi Technology!"

"Jacob, when you know the true strength of Xingyi Technology, you will probably be embarrassed."

"There's a good show to watch today, hahaha."

"Ahem, no, I have to hold it in. I can't laugh!"

Looking at the complicated expressions of the crowd, Jacob clearly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

I can only continue to praise:

"Similarly, our four chips can all be used in 4G mobile phones, unlike our competitors who only have one 4G chip."

Everyone continued to be silent: "..."

Continue to hold back your laughter: "..."

Jacob blew for a long time, but there was little response from the major manufacturers on the scene.

Originally, the president of Motorola wanted to applaud a few times, but the atmosphere was too cold and no one responded, so he withdrew his hand awkwardly.

So much so that Jacob's eloquent speech has become a stand-alone game.

The major media invited to attend also keenly noticed this problem.

Something is not right with chip production and sales today. Could it be that Qualcomm's chip exhibition will not sell well? Or even unsalable?

No way?
But the reaction on the scene was really too cold.

All major media outlets had different expressions and took pictures of a series of situations.

Maybe it will be a breaking point!
Given Qualcomm's strength, the hot sales of Snapdragon chips are just daily news at most.

But if the Snapdragon chips are unsalable, that would definitely be explosive news!
Seeing that there was no interaction at the scene, Jacob was also tired and the atmosphere was completely unbearable, so he simply moved on to the final topic:

"To better embrace 4G and provide users with better 4G chips, Qualcomm is launching a series of promotions today."

"Snapdragon 800 integrates 4G baseband, with a minimum order of 500 million sets, and the price is reduced to 270 yuan."

"Snapdragon 600 + 4G baseband, minimum order quantity is 500 million sets, price reduced to 230 yuan." "Snapdragon 600 + 3G baseband, minimum order quantity is 500 million sets, price reduced to 200 yuan."

Jacob finished speaking and waited for the applause to break out.

All prices are reduced by 20 yuan, which is a huge drop.

Especially the Snapdragon 800, which was reduced in price as soon as it went into mass production. This is something that has never happened before.

As for the Snapdragon 600, the price has been reduced by nearly 10%, which is quite sincere.

But unfortunately, there was still not much sensation at the scene.

Instead, there were some whispers:
"Snapdragon 800 270 yuan? It's better to buy Kunpeng 706 SOC, which is also 270 yuan, and Kunpeng 706 SOC also comes with chip tuning."

"That's right, without the 64-bit bonus, the performance is about the same as Kunpeng 706. With the 64-bit bonus, Kunpeng 706 beats Snapdragon 805 across generations. For an additional 5 yuan, you can also get motherboard chipset design services. Fortunately, I bought Kunpeng 706!"

"Snapdragon 600 is not that good, 230 yuan, it's better to buy Kunpeng 508, which is only 210 yuan and comes with chip tuning!"

"Yes, Kunpeng 508 is tuned by Xingyi Technology, and its actual performance is not worse than Snapdragon 600. Under 64-bit system, it can even surpass it by a lot, and the price is still low."

"I'm afraid Qualcomm's chip exhibition today is going to be a failure."

Jacob on the stage couldn't hear clearly what people were whispering around him, but the presidents of Samsung Mobile, Nokia, and Motorola heard it clearly and were all confused:
"What is Kunpeng 706? Kunpeng 508?"

"What are they talking about?"

"Xingyi Technology's chip?"

"Xingyi Technology has these two models?"

For a moment, the three of them were stunned.

If only one person says it, then no one will care. But if the CEOs of other brands all say so, then it’s a big problem.

"Could it be the newly released processor of Xingyi Technology? Or even a 4G chip?"

Samsung Mobile President Choi Jae-jik looked at the confused Nokia President, then looked at the calm representatives of other brands, and finally his eyes fell on the face of the LG Mobile President next to him.

Noticing Choi Jae-chi's gaze, LG Mobile's president Lee Seung-gi raised his lips and gave a mocking chuckle:

"This idiot still doesn't understand what's going on, hahaha."

"???" Cui Zaizhi frowned: "Is he mocking me?"

"In the end what happened?"

“Why do the representatives of other brands all have similar attitudes, calm, nonchalant, and disdainful…”

"Are I and the president of Nokia the only ones confused? Is the CEO of Motorola also confused?"

"By the way, all other brands attended Xingyi Semiconductor's chip exhibition, only Samsung, Motorola and Nokia did not go."

"There are also Kunpeng 706, 508..."

Cui Zaizhi's expression changed slightly, and he figured everything out in an instant:
"Could it be that Xingyi Technology has released two new 4G chips, and they are 28 nanometers and positioned in the mid-to-low end?"

“性能估计和骁龙600、骁龙400差不多，价格也差不多，所以他们看不上高通骁龙400和600，都下单了鲲鹏508/706？才会这么淡定又不屑？”

"That's not right. If the performance and price were similar, no one would order Kunpeng processors."

“除非鲲鹏508、鲲鹏706和鲲鹏902一样，不仅是28纳米4G芯片，还都是64位架构。”

"Next year, Android 5.0 will definitely be upgraded to a 64-bit system, so the current performance will be 40%-60% higher next year!"

“所以他们都放弃了高通32位的骁龙400/600/800，选择了星逸科技64位的鲲鹏508/706/902？”

“I guess that’s it!”

"Shit! How come these damn bastards are so lucky?"

"If they all use Xingyi Technology's 64-bit chips and we continue to use Qualcomm's 32-bit chips, then that's the end of it?"

At that moment, Cui Zaizhi thought everything through clearly, and suddenly his back felt cold and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"If that's the case, then we're in big trouble!"

It’s okay if everyone uses outdated 32-bit processors, no one will look down on anyone else.

I am afraid that my competitors are all using the advanced 64-bit system while I am still using the backward 32-bit system. That would be the end of me.

No contrast, no harm.

"Should we at Samsung also use Xingyi Technology's 64-bit processor?"

Cui Zaizhi began to waver.

"It's not even possible to use it. I think LG has already placed an order for a large number of 64-bit processors from Xingyi Technology!"

There was no reaction from the crowd and no applause.

Jacob had no choice but to continue announcing the price:
"Snapdragon 400 with integrated 4G baseband, minimum order quantity of 500 million sets, priced at 180 yuan."

"Snapdragon 200+ 4G baseband, minimum order quantity is 500 million sets, price reduced to 160 yuan."

"Snapdragon 200+ 3G baseband, minimum order quantity is 500 million sets, price reduced to 140 yuan."

After Jacob announced the price, he felt that it would definitely be a hot seller.

Except for Snapdragon 400, the prices of other chips have all been reduced.

As for Snapdragon 400, since its performance is much lower than Snapdragon 600 and not much better than Snapdragon 200, its initial pricing was very low and could not be lowered any further.

But Jacob is sure that such prices are very competitive and major manufacturers will go crazy buying them.

But unfortunately, after the prices of all chips were announced, all major mobile phone manufacturers looked indifferent and unmoved.

Only occasional whispers could be heard:
"Snapdragon 400 costs 180, and its performance and architecture are inferior to Kunpeng 505 of the same price."

"Kunpeng 505 is also 180, including the tuning service fee. Not counting the 64-bit upgrade, it can beat Snapdragon 400. Only a fool would buy Snapdragon 400."

"As for Snapdragon 200, its performance is even worse, not as good as Kunpeng 500, so there is no need to buy it."

"It's over. None of the Qualcomm chips are worth buying this time!"

"Fortunately, I bought the Kunpeng 505, a mid-to-low-end Snapdragon processor that is not competitive and not cheap."

"Whoever wants to buy it can buy it. I'm not interested anyway."

The CEOs of several brands shook their heads and had no intention of placing an order.

The president of Motorola, who was originally planning to order some Snapdragon 200, chose to give up after hearing these words.

Similarly, the president of Samsung Mobile, who was preparing to place an order for Snapdragon 400 for low-end mobile phones, also fell silent.

For a moment, the atmosphere became very awkward.

The chips at the trade show were introduced and the prices were announced, but not a single brand placed an order!
This made all the senior executives of Qualcomm look unhappy.

Jacob, who was standing on the stage, looked even more livid and a little embarrassed.

Different!
It was completely different from what he imagined!
Shouldn't everyone rush to place orders as soon as the price is announced?
Why are you just sitting there?

No one has placed an order?
This is unscientific!
For a moment, all the senior executives of Qualcomm were panicked, and Jacob was also panicked.

In this situation, it would be abnormal not to panic!

Besides being panic-stricken, I was also filled with deep doubts!
How could this be?
How could this be?
Jacob frowned, full of disbelief.

Looking around at the executives of major mobile phone manufacturers at the scene again, no one has placed an order, and no one even has the intention to speak up.

This made Jacob on the stage extremely embarrassed.

The media at the scene were all stunned and had no idea what was going on.

The reality and expected situation are completely different!

Not to mention it’s a hot seller, there’s not even a single person placing an order!
Could it be that this Qualcomm 4G chip exhibition will end up being a failure?
Shouldn't it? !
But today is definitely big news!
All major media outlets came with their cameras and took pictures like crazy!
As long as it is reported, it will definitely be explosive news.

Watching this scene, Jacob regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

Meng was reckless!

If you had known that sales would be so dismal, why would you have contacted so many media outlets?

Family disgrace should not be made public, so the media should just not be invited.

But now, it's too late.

There were more than a dozen media outlets at the scene, many of which were international media, and Qualcomm couldn't suppress them.

No, there must not be zero transactions.

If there are zero transactions, then we are in big trouble!
Once the report gets out, Qualcomm will become a global laughing stock!

I can’t afford to lose that person!
In desperation, Jacob quickly looked at Choi Jae-shik, the president of Samsung Mobile, with a look of desire in his eyes, and he almost said:

'Brother, help me, please place an order! Please don't let me not be able to sell a single chip!'

Looking at Jacob's eager eyes, Cui Zaizhi was extremely conflicted.

Logically speaking, orders for Samsung phones should be placed this time.

You don’t have to buy Snapdragon 800, but you should buy an additional batch of Snapdragon 600, and also Snapdragon 400.

Samsung not only has high-end S series and note series, but also mid- and low-end mobile phones.

But now no one has placed an order, saying that Mingxingyi Technology's Kunpeng chip is more attractive, so much so that LG and other friendly companies have all given up Qualcomm and chosen Mingxingyi Technology!

This shows that the advantages of Mingxing Yi Technology’s Kunpeng chip are extraordinary!
In this case, Samsung can no longer blindly place orders for Qualcomm chips.

"Well, don't place the order yet. Wait until we have a thorough investigation of the situation at Xingyi Technology and then make a comprehensive consideration."

'Even if Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng chip is not suitable, you can place an order with Qualcomm later. There is no rush to place an order.'

Thinking of this, Cui Zaizhi turned his head to the side, avoiding Jacob's gaze.

Jacob's mouth twitched: "..."

'Samsung, that little bastard, seems to not want to place an order!'

In desperation, Jacob looked at LG again.

But unfortunately, the president of LG Mobile also avoided looking and had no intention of placing an order.

Jacob's face was extremely gloomy, and he looked at Motorola again.

However, the president of Motorola also saw the situation clearly and chose to wait and see.

As Jacob's eyes swept over, the CEOs of major brands participating in the trade fair all had their eyes wandering and had no intention of placing an order.

Jacob was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

If this continues, there will be zero transactions at Qualcomm 4G chip exhibition!

That's so embarrassing!

To save face, Jacob looked at Nokia President Stephen Elop and said, "I am very optimistic about the WP8 system jointly developed by Nokia and Microsoft. I wonder which chip you are going to buy this time?"

Faced with this direct order, Stephen Elop was very unhappy, but still sighed:
"Alas! To be honest, Nokia is in a special period of fluctuations and is negotiating an acquisition with Microsoft. So the chip order will probably have to wait until this special period is over."

This reason is impeccable.

Jacob could only look at the president of LG Mobile Phones again: "LG mobile phones are also very good and will definitely sell well next year. Which chip do you want to order?"

"I...I..." Li Chengji's expression was extremely complicated: "Sorry, we haven't used up the last batch of chips yet, so we need to think about it carefully."

Jacob's face turned pale, and he continued to look at the president of Samsung Mobile.

Unexpectedly, Cui Zaizhi had already stood up and was holding the phone: "Hello? Hello?"

After saying this, he walked out, not giving Jacob any chance to force him.

Jacob's mouth twitched: "..."

Is it possible that this Qualcomm 4G chip exhibition will end with zero transactions?
