Chapter 589: One Superpower and Many Powers, Xingyi Dominates

"Xiaomi 5 can be launched ahead of schedule!" Lei Jun agreed:

"Xingyi's mobile phones are so good that they release several new products every year. We Xiaomi need to work harder."

"The next few years will be a critical period for domestic mobile phones to expand their territory. Xiaomi cannot let us down and must adopt the strategy of launching a large number of mobile phones!"

"That's right. A Xiaomi phone can only sell five million units at most. So we can release four models a year and directly reach a scale of 2000 million!" Lao Li said with a smile.

Lei Jun was a little worried: "Four mobile phones a year, will it be enough in terms of R&D?"

Lao Li waved his hand and said, "That's not a problem at all. The Xiaomi Mi 706 with Kunpeng 4 and the Xiaomi Mi 902 Pro with Kunpeng 4, which will be released early next year, are actually redesigns of the same phone. The Xiaomi Mi 505C with Kunpeng 3 and the Xiaomi Mi 906 with Kunpeng 5 in the second half of the year are both Kunpeng chips from Xingyi Technology, and both come with motherboard chipset design services, which greatly shortens the R&D cycle and difficulty. We can definitely release four phones a year."

"So that's it." Lei Jun suddenly realized.

With Xiaomi's current strength, it is simply impossible to develop four new mobile phones in a year.

But with Xingyi Technology's motherboard chipset design service, it is equivalent to developing two mobile phones, the difficulty is greatly reduced and it becomes easy.

After reaching a consensus, Lei Jun and his partner walked out of the meeting room and approached Wang Yi:
"Mr. Wang, Xiaomi has placed an order for 500 million Kunpeng 906 SOCs, including motherboard chipset design services."

Wang Yi smiled and extended his hand: "Happy cooperation."

The unit price of five million Kunpeng 906s is 330 yuan, plus the motherboard chipset design service is 340 yuan, which means another 17 billion yuan is in hand!
The profit after deducting costs exceeds 10 billion RMB, which is enough to cover the R&D expenses.

Although Kunpeng 906 is much more powerful than Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, its R&D cost is much lower than Qualcomm Snapdragon 805.

There is no other reason. The CPU and GPU of Kunpeng 906 are upgraded from Kunpeng 902. There is no need to develop them from scratch, so the cost is naturally low.

According to George's calculations, the total R&D cost + tape-out cost of Kunpeng 906 is only 1.5 million US dollars, or about billion RMB.

However, the R&D cost of Snapdragon 805 is billions of RMB.

Firstly, Snapdragon 805 was developed almost from scratch in order to achieve its terrifying performance.

Secondly, the labor cost in the United States is much higher than in China, and the efficiency is much lower.

Third, Kunpeng 906 was a direct success in its first tape-out, while Snapdragon 805 required continuous investment and bottomless investment in subsequent optimization and improvement in order to control energy consumption and reduce the possibility of rollover.

In fact, a successful chip at one time does not cost much, one to two hundred million US dollars is enough.

However, the subsequent R&D investment and continuous improvements for a failed chip prolong the time and increase the cost, often costing US$300 million or even US$400 million.

Just like launching a satellite, the cost of succeeding once is always much lower than trying twice.

Just as Xiaomi placed the order, Meizu CEO Huang came over and said, "CEO Wang, Meizu has placed an order for 500 million Kunpeng 906s and motherboard chipset designs."

Another 17 billion in hand!
Together with the five million units sold by Meizu, Kunpeng 906 has sold 1000 million units, with revenue of 34 billion.

Wang Yi naturally welcomed this, but was also somewhat surprised by Meizu's big move.

Meizu has previously placed orders for 500 million Kunpeng 902s and 706 million Kunpeng s, which means a total volume of million.

Add to that five million Kunpeng 906s, for a total of 1500 million.

This is a radical development for both Meizu and Xiaomi at the moment.

Wang Yi is not too worried about Xiaomi's aggressiveness. Lei Jun has money and Shunwei Capital is behind him, so he is not short of money at all.

But since Meizu is so radical, it’s hard to say.

No, such radicalism is not in line with Lao Huang’s style. Something must have happened... Wang Yi fell into memories.

By the way, 2014 was the turning point for Meizu!
In its previous life, in 2014, Meizu only released the MX4 and MX4 Pro, and the total sales of Meizu mobile phones in 2014 were less than five million units.

But in 2015, Meizu released four or five mobile phones at once, and its annual sales volume directly reached 2000 million units, reaching the peak of Meizu!
The reason is that Huang, who has always been averse to capital, suddenly opened up his mind and introduced investment from Alibaba.

With Alibaba's investment, Meizu has funds. In addition, as the originator of domestic smartphones, it is already very strong. It is also the Huangpu Military Academy of the mobile phone industry and has no shortage of talent.

Meizu has both money and people, so it is natural that its size has expanded by 400%.

Now it seems that the result is similar, and the action is even faster than in the previous life.

In the past, Meizu only introduced Ali investment in early 2015, but this time, due to the emergence of Xingyi Technology, everything has been accelerated under the butterfly effect. Meizu may introduce Ali investment next year!
No wonder there was a sudden and aggressive development, with orders for 1500 million chips placed!

It means starting to change and introducing capital.

As for the reason why Huang changed his mind, it is actually very simple. It was completely stimulated by Lei Jun.

My own 'apprentices' are developing rapidly. If I, as a master, don't work harder, then it will be the end, right?
Huang, who has always been averse to capital, began to introduce investment from Alibaba and even signed a bet agreement.

Wang Yi expressed his support and welcome for this.

Either explode in silence or perish in silence.

If Meizu continues to be small and beautiful, and its annual sales volume is still less than 10 million, it really has no future.

In the future, the domestic mobile phone industry will be eliminated by the waves, and those with annual sales of less than 10 million will not be able to survive. Every one of them will die!
Even those with annual sales below 20 million are having trouble maintaining stability.

This is also the reason why Wang Yi dared to release the Kunpeng 906 SOC as soon as possible and dared to sell the motherboard chipset design, fingerprint module, fast charging module, etc. to third parties.

Even with Xingyi Technology's advanced modules, it is difficult for these third-party brands to grow rapidly, let alone catch up with Xingyi mobile phones.

Don't even think about it.

Not to mention Meimi O/V, even China Cool Alliance can’t do it.

This time, Huawei can't beat the Xingyi phone, let alone other domestic mobile phones.

Wang Yi sold all the components to keep these domestic mobile phone manufacturers alive, which was better than all other brands dying and only one or two strong ones remaining.

If other domestic brands are dead and only Apple, Samsung and Huawei are left, it will have a little impact on Xingyi mobile phones.

On the contrary, if Xiaomi, Xiaomi, and China Unicom all survive, they will snatch away a large market share from Apple, Samsung, and Huawei, and seriously weaken Apple, Samsung, and Huawei.

No matter how powerful Xingyi mobile phones are, it is impossible for them to monopolize the market. However, with the development of time, it is still possible to gradually form a pattern of "one super and many strong" .

By then, the global mobile phone market will be divided into four levels:

Super overlord: Xingyi mobile phone.

Big giants: Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and Wi-Fi.

Small giants: Zhongku Lian, Meimi, OV, Gionee, TCL and LG.

Others.

Afterwards, CEOs of brands such as Zhongku Lian, OV, etc. also came out one after another and placed orders.

"Mr. Wang, ZTE has placed an order for 1000 million Kunpeng 906s!"

"Coolpad placed an order for 1000 million units!"

“Lenovo places order for 1000 million units!”

“OPPO places an order for 1000 million units!”

"Vivo placed an order for 1000 million units!"

……

These brands are all established manufacturers that have existed since the era of feature phones. They have also developed rapidly in the smartphone sector in recent years, with annual sales in the tens of millions.

On the contrary, the two up-and-coming companies, Meizu and Xiaomi, seem a bit immature compared to these old big companies.

Not surprisingly, these established large companies, which already had impressive annual sales, had one company placing orders for tens of millions of Kunpeng 906s.

Their flagship phones have sold tens of millions of units, so that shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, these old and established manufacturers not only sell online, but each has nearly 10,000 offline stores.

On average, one store sells 500 units a year, and with nearly 10,000 stores that means sales of four to five million units!
No pressure at all.

These days, offline sales are still slightly higher than online sales.

But a few years later, the situation was reversed.

Later, CEOs of international brands such as Sony and LG also came out.

"Mr. Wang, Sony has placed an order for 906 million Kunpeng s!"

"LG places order for 1000 million Kunpeng 906s!"

"BlackBerry places order for 500 million Kunpeng 906s!"

These international brands have been doing quite well in the past two years. Now that Kunpeng 906 has been released, it has stronger performance and is not a failure. Naturally, people want to place orders for it. The key is how much to order.

Instead, Nokia fell into deep thought.

The CEO said calmly: "It seems that the Snapdragon 805 will definitely fail. We can't buy any of them. The Snapdragon 800 we have already bought is no match for the Kunpeng 902, let alone the Kunpeng 906. It is totally no match."

"Yes, it is necessary to completely abandon Qualcomm chips, stop placing orders, and go all in on Kunpeng chips."

"That's right. Snapdragon 805 has weak performance and failed again. It's not worth buying. Just buy 1000 million Kunpeng 906s!"

"I think it's OK. We will clear out the Snapdragon chip inventory in the first half of next year, and launch two new Lumia phones equipped with Kunpeng 906 in the second half of the year. Each phone will sell for 500 million units. There's no pressure."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Finally, Nokia CEO also walked out of the reception room: "Mr. Wang, Nokia has placed an order for 1000 million Kunpeng 906s!"

"Welcome to join the Kunpeng camp, and I wish the phone will sell well!" Wang Yi said with a smile.

This huge order of 906 million Kunpeng satellites is of extraordinary significance!

Even Qualcomm's last loyal brand has defected, which means Qualcomm is heading for further decline!

Xingyi Semiconductor achieved further great success.

At this point, the Kunpeng 906 launch and ordering conference came to a successful conclusion.

Wang Yi walked onto the stage and looked at the crowd: "Thank you for your support. Kunpeng 906 will be officially put into mass production this month, and the first batch of mass-produced products will be delivered to major customers around the end of the month, making it easier for major customers to develop new flagship phones for next year."

"As for the Kunpeng 906 motherboard chipset design, it will be available to you in early March."

"In the future, Xingyi Semiconductor will continue to work hard to continuously develop powerful and cool 64-bit processors for our customers. And all future processors will be available for pre-sale soon after release!"

"If nothing else, our upgrade speed will only be faster than Qualcomm and Apple!"

Upon hearing this, the CEOs of major brands became excited.

"That's great. We can release it and sell it right away. We just need to develop the phone ourselves." The CEO of LG Mobile said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's just right that we can polish Sony's new flagship!"

“BlackBerry will also release a new flagship next year.”

As one of the top mobile phone brands, LG and Sony still have their own bottom line and will not use Xingyi Technology's motherboard design if they can.

As for BlackBerry, there was no other solution. Their BlackBerry OS system was quite unique, and so were their phones. Using Xingyi Technology's motherboard chipset design would not work well. Nokia's CEO frowned, muttering in his heart: "These bastards actually installed it on me?"

'Do you still think that independent research and development is noble?'

'That's great!'

'However, big brands still have to maintain their independent R&D capabilities. So, next year, there will be two new Lumia phones equipped with Kunpeng 906. One will use the motherboard chipset design of Xingyi Technology, and the other will be developed by us! '

In this regard, Nokia CEO also said: "We will also start to fully independently develop the new Kunpeng 906 machine. Although it has just been acquired by Microsoft and is facing some handover and running-in issues, it will not affect our creativity!"

The CEO of ZTE curled his lips and said: "ZTE will also have a fully independently developed Kunpeng 906 mobile phone!"

The corner of Lenovo's mouth twitched: "Are you also pretending to be one?"

But he didn't mention anything about independent research and development. On the contrary, if Xingyi Technology can be used, he will never do independent research and development.

Save worry, trouble, time and money!
The most important thing is that using Xingyi Technology's motherboard chipset design will definitely not fail and may even be a hot seller.

Even if Lenovo's independently developed motherboard chipset design does not fail, it is not as good as that of Xingyi Technology.

Why bother with independent research and development?
If there are no difficulties, why do we have to create them?
For a time, other brands also fell silent, and most of them gave up the plan of self-development.

Meizu's Lao Bai had a complicated look on his face and approached Lao Huang: "Don't we at Meizu also develop motherboards independently?"

Old Huang sighed: "Next year, the most important thing is to increase sales, increase valuation, and let Alibaba pay more money. Therefore, timeliness and stability are the most important. Using Xingyi Technology's motherboard chipset is more stable. Let's develop other aspects well and make it a hit."

"That's right." Lao Bai nodded and said nothing more.

Wang Yi is not surprised by this. It is normal for different brands to have different choices.

What is in line with one’s own development comes first.

Especially when the scale is limited, more compromises will have to be made.

Even Xingyi Technology could only develop one mobile phone at the beginning, but now, with a large number of troops and sufficient funds, it can develop multiple mobile phones at the same time.

"Thank you all for your support. The lunch is ready. I wonder if all the CEOs are free?" Wang Yi said with a smile.

The bosses of major brands were startled at first, then nodded:

"Mr. Wang has invited us so kindly that we would be disrespectful to refuse."

"That's right. It's a good opportunity for us to discuss more about the development of mobile phones."

"Haha, we have used Kunpeng chips for three consecutive generations of flagships. We need to learn a lot from Mr. Wang."

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Let's communicate and learn from each other. Please!"

Everyone moved and came to the banquet hall, where a sumptuous dinner had already been prepared.

However, the specifications are not those of a Western five-star restaurant, but rather a Chinese feast.

The more national it is, the more international it is.

Wang Yi doesn’t think at all that the so-called Michelin restaurants are so great, or that the red wine and Western food are so high-end.

On the contrary, the famous domestic dishes are still top-notch.

When it comes to food, the Western food is nothing compared to that in China. Even Wang Yi feels that foreign countries are a food desert.

Most international students learn to cook after going abroad. Is it voluntary?

It’s because foreign food is too bad and too monotonous, just like feeding pigs. Even people who have never cooked before have to learn how to cook for the sake of their own stomachs.

Some overseas Chinese have started to grow their own vegetables. Is it because they have awakened their farming talent? Most likely they were forced to do so!

Sure enough, seeing the table full of delicious food, including Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hunan cuisine... all eight major cuisines were available, all cooked by experienced chefs themselves. The CEO of a domestic mobile phone brand was quite calm and ate a lot.

But it was different for the CEOs of Sony and BlackBerry, their eyes were wide open.

The CEO of LG was also very excited. All this is rare in South Korea.

Even if he is the head of LG mobile phones, he can only get such specifications a few times a year.

It’s not that we don’t have money, but that we don’t have people.

It is easy to find eight top chefs who are good at cooking the eight major cuisines in Xia Country.

But in South Korea, that is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Therefore, these bosses didn't care about anything else and ate with relish, working hard!
Looking at this scene, Wang Yi smiled but said nothing.

No wonder the Korean athletes ate all the fruits and were criticized by the Japanese athletes.

It’s all forced, I can’t eat it normally!

The president of LG Mobile Phones was eating and exclaimed: "It's delicious, too delicious. No, I have to hire a Xiaguo chef to be my personal chef."

The president of Sony Mobile agreed: "What a great idea! I'm tired of eating sashimi and barbecue every day. Xia Country is really amazing, with so many cuisines and so many varieties. I have to hire one too!"

The BlackBerry CEO frowned and said, "How can one be enough? If I heard correctly, these are eight major cuisines, so we need to hire eight people!"

"Wow, it's really eight! Mr. Wang, please recommend one to me, please!" said the president of Sony Mobile Phones with a smile.

Wang Yi nodded: "No problem. As long as the funds are in place, there are still some chefs willing to go. Even in your country, Neon, there are many experienced chefs, but they are not well known."

"Neon country? What about Kimchi country?"

"Of course there are."

"Since Japan and Korea both have it, then the United States must have it. I will have to go to Chinatown more often in the future." The BlackBerry boss said with a smile.

Wang Yi nodded: "The Xia people are like NPCs in the game world, spread all over the world, with all kinds of incredible top skills. They are waiting for you to contact and discover."

“NPCs with various skills are scattered all over the world!”

Everyone nodded, feeling deeply moved:
"That's a good analogy. It's really true."

"To be honest, many of Sony's current senior R&D engineers are from Xia country."

"We also have a lot in LG, and the proportion is constantly increasing."

Wang Yi had a complicated expression. There were many people in Xia Country, and even more capable people, but many of them were abroad, working for international giants.

The current semiconductor industry is just starting out, and Xiaguo does not have too many elite employees.

But a few years later, whether it was Nvidia, Qualcomm, or Apple, many of the core employees among all chip R&D personnel were from Xia.

This is not just true for semiconductors, military industry, and all aspects of AI big models.

It can be said that Xia State has never lacked talents, nor has it lacked cutting-edge talents.

On the contrary, there are many, many more.

It’s just a pity that many people choose to go abroad for various reasons and join international giant companies.

But ten years later, this phenomenon will change dramatically.

By then, more and more Xia people will give up working abroad and choose to develop domestically.

There are also more and more Xia people working abroad who will return to China to develop.

And this is the trend.

When you see through the inside story and are fed up with the makeshift teams abroad, you will naturally find that Xia Country is your home!

However, this time, with the rapid rise of Xingyi Technology, this node will arrive ahead of schedule!

"Like Blackberry, the Xia people are hardworking and have a strong learning ability, and they can often create miracles for us. On the contrary, the Indians like to form cliques and suppress others."

The president of BlackBerry couldn't help but complain: "And I've found that there are more and more Indians in our company. Even the cleaning ladies are their people."

Hearing this, Wang Yi cast a sympathetic look.

What they don’t know is that the Indian employees are very united and like to stick together, help each other and face the outside world with one voice.

When a company has an Indian employee at the middle level, it can attract a large number of Indian employees.

When a company has a large number of Indian employees, it is not far from tragedy.

The main feature of the Indian country is that they dare to fake anything and give you any "surprise"!

It can be said that there is nothing they dare not do, only what you dare not think of.

These were all learned through the blood and tears of many giants in previous lives.

But no one realizes it yet.

But Wang Yi knew clearly that if BlackBerry did not pay attention and impose restrictions, it would not be long before tragedy struck, accelerating its decline and even leading to bankruptcy.

It is for this reason that neither Xingyi Technology, Wujie Technology, nor Xingyi International have any Indian employees.

It’s not that Wang Yi is discriminating, he just really doesn’t dare to use it.

After all, these people are the type who can get American astronauts into space and prevent them from coming down.

People's sorrows and joys are not shared.

While Wang Yi was toasting and chatting with the CEOs of major mobile phone manufacturers, there was a chill inside Qualcomm.

"It's troublesome. With this momentum, I guess all those brands will place orders for Kunpeng 906! Even Nokia will place orders for Kunpeng 906!"

"The possibility is too great. Look at the way Nokia CEO looks at Kunpeng 906. He will definitely place an order, or even a lot of orders."

"That's for sure. At least 906 million Kunpeng 805s. It's difficult to get Nokia to continue buying our Snapdragon s. Too difficult!"

"All major brands have placed orders for Kunpeng 906. Our Snapdragon 805 ordering conference, like the previous 4G exhibition, is going to be a surprise."

"Chairman, under this situation, is it necessary for us to hold the order meeting?"

"Is it necessary to open it?" Jacob frowned. This was a serious question.

The ordering conference was officially announced three days ago. The venue has been prepared and the media has been arranged. It would be inappropriate not to hold it.

But under this situation, even if the store is opened, sales will not be high, or even very bleak.

The simplest thing is that last time there were three major customers: Samsung, Motorola and Nokia, but this time Nokia turned against us.

That would be really embarrassing.

For a moment, Jacob was confused.

Seeing this, Honey Nelson said, "We still have to hold the order meeting, but our price cannot be too high."

"If we knew the price of Xingyi Technology, we could set it lower and maybe get more orders."
