Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 593 Everyone's Carnival, Ali's Big Move

Looking at the dismal trading volume, everyone at MediaTek was silent.

The MT6592 is a product that has been designed with great efforts to become a high-end eight-core product, but it is sold at a very low price of 170 yuan, and still has few sales!

This is really unacceptable.

Many MediaTek senior executives and core personnel are even more worried about the future of MediaTek.

The mobile phone chip market is different from other products in that it is a winner-takes-all type.

If a company is strong enough, it can take over 60% or even 70% of the market and make a lot of money.

If you are not strong enough, it will be difficult to even drink the soup.

In the past, Qualcomm and MediaTek coexisted, with Qualcomm eating the meat and MediaTek drinking the soup.

This time, with Xingyi Semiconductor, Qualcomm can only drink soup, and MediaTek can only smell the taste.

Many core personnel of MediaTek are worried that the chip war between Qualcomm and Xingyi Semiconductor will eventually kill MediaTek!

After all, if Qualcomm loses, it can still withdraw from the high-end market, downgrade to MediaTek's position, and focus on the mid- and low-end markets.

But what if MediaTek loses? Where can it retreat?

Returning knockoff chips? Specializing in knockoff chips?
But the problem is that copycat phones are almost being defeated by the borderless phones!
As for reaching the high end, that is even more difficult.

It is easy to go from high to low, but it is difficult to go from low to high.

To put it bluntly, the mobile phone chip design industry does not need too many giants.

Especially this time, high hopes were placed on the octa-core chip, but it ended up being a complete failure, which was a heavy blow to MediaTek.

It’s fine for those who have limited strength, they have already decided to lie down and just muddle along.

But those who have ability and aspirations have made up their minds to look for a way out and prepare to change jobs.

As for the job-hopping target?

There is only one, and that is Xingyi Semiconductor.

There is no way, Qualcomm has been beaten back step by step, Nvidia has been beaten to the point of giving up, and other companies such as Infineon and Spreadtrum are not worth mentioning.

Xingyi Semiconductor is the only way out.

In the following days, Xingyi Semiconductor's HR department continued to receive various internal referrals and self-recommendations...

The Human Resources Department did not hesitate at all and after an investigation, they accepted all the candidates as long as they had enough ability, were of good character and had adequate remuneration.

With the addition of these people, Xingyi Semiconductor's strength has been further enhanced.

However, Wang Yi did not pay any further attention to these.

For Xingyi Technology and Xingyi Semiconductor, this is just icing on the cake.

Instead, Wang Yi is focusing on a series of big projects.

For example, the research and development of ARF photoresist is progressing smoothly and is expected to produce output in a year.

By then, we will be able to break the foreign technology monopoly and achieve independent research and production of ARF photoresist.

ARF photoresist can be used in all nodes from 130 nanometers to 7 nanometers. Once a breakthrough is achieved, there will be no need to worry about supply interruption, and it can at least ensure the strategic security of photoresist for the next ten years.

As long as ARF photoresist is developed, relying on the efforts and creativity of the Chinese people, EUV photoresist below 7 nanometers will be just around the corner.

By then, foreign companies will no longer be able to use photoresist to strangle us.

In addition, on December 12, when the semiconductor industry was paying attention to MediaTek's release of the world's second octa-core chip, the photoresist factory located in the imperial capital started construction!

The soldiers and horses move forward before the food and grass are moved.

Even though there has not been a breakthrough in photoresist, Wang Yi has already planned the construction of a factory.

There is also a photoresist factory in Shanghai, which will start construction in January.

The two major photoresist factories are expected to take one year to build and will be delivered before the end of 2014.

In this way, when a breakthrough in photoresist is achieved in 2015, production can begin directly.

The same is true for bottleneck areas such as large silicon wafers, which are also being fully developed.

At the same time, the silicon wafer factory is also under construction in full swing.

It can be said that the coming year will be a year of preparation.

We will continue to invest at all costs to overcome the bottleneck technologies.

The corresponding factories and industrial chains are being planned in advance.

No matter when Lao Mi’s technological war starts, Wang Yi will be prepared first, accumulate ammunition, and build a fortress.

Those who are reborn never fight a battle without preparation!
Another big event is the preparation for the New Year’s Eve party.

New Year’s Day is approaching, and the New Year’s Eve party is still the highlight of Xingyi Media and Xingyi Video.

But unlike other companies’ New Year’s Eve parties, Xingyi Technology’s New Year’s Eve party is on a large scale, with many superstars gathered, and its scale is even bigger than the New Year’s Eve parties of major satellite TV stations.

The ratings are also shockingly high.

Wang Yi has always attached great importance to Xingyi Technology’s New Year’s Eve Party.

It is not only a display of the strength of Xingyi Media and Xingyi Video, but also a huge benefit for the fans.

One year ends and a new year begins.

The entire Xingyi Technology is filled with joy.

It’s nothing, the company’s annual meeting is also being prepared, and January 1st is the Spring Festival.

According to Xingyi Technology's custom, an annual meeting will be held around the 24th or 25th to distribute year-end bonuses so that everyone can go home happily to celebrate the New Year.

First there was the New Year’s Eve party, then the company’s annual meeting, and annual leave. In addition, Xingyi Technology’s year-end bonus was incredibly high. The entire month of January became the most anticipated and exciting month for all employees.

It is obvious that the company's employees are more motivated to go to work.

Without being urged by their leaders, many people began to work overtime on their own initiative, just to finish the work as soon as possible and then spend the New Year with peace of mind.

Other companies do not have their annual holiday until around the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, but Xingyi Technology is different.

Unless there are special reasons and the project is progressing smoothly, we will have a holiday around the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

If the progress is too smooth, you can take a day off before the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Xingyi Technology’s adjustment of holidays is different from other companies where you can only adjust but not take holidays.

On the contrary, as long as the work is done, you can take a day off.

Of course, if the work is not completed and it affects the progress of the entire team, you cannot take a day off casually.

However, what surprised Wang Yi was that he hadn't seen Zhu Changlin in the past few days.

"Where is Lao Zhu?" Wang Yi couldn't help but ask.

Jian Ziyan shook her head: "I don't know. I haven't seen him for a week. It seems that he is on a business trip with the team. Do you want to ask someone?"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "It's okay, I trust Lao Zhu to do his job. I guess he's working on some big project again. But New Year's Day is coming, and this guy will be back soon."

"Yes, President Zhu will not miss such an important occasion as New Year's Eve." Jian Ziyan said with a smile.

"Time flies, and another year has come to an end. Fortunately, we have developed rapidly and achieved remarkable results."

"Yes, this year Xingyi Technology's size has risen by several levels at once."

Sure enough, on December 12, Zhu Changlin came back and approached Wang Yi excitedly:
"Chairman, I have done something big."

"You will definitely give me a surprise when I go on a business trip before New Year's Day." Wang Yi said with a smile.

Zhu Changlin chuckled: "Yes, on this business trip, I not only won a large number of communication patents from Ericsson, but also won some communication patents from Sony and some communication patents from Siemens."

"Combined with the 30% of Nokia's patents we acquired previously, as well as the patents we acquired and developed previously, Xingyi Technology's communications patent holdings have reached a terrifying level. It ranks second in China after Huawei and sixth in the world!"

Currently, in the global ranking of communications patents, Microsoft, which acquired Nokia, ranks first.

Qualcomm is second.

Samsung is third.

Apple is fourth.

Huawei is fifth.

Xingyi Technology ranked sixth.

ZTE No.7.

Motorola is eighth.

LG is ninth.

Ericsson is tenth.

However, with the addition of other mobile phone patents, Xingyi Technology became the fifth in the world.

In the fields of fast charging, fingerprint, chips, etc., Xingyi Technology has great technological advantages and owns a large number of core patents.

"Mr. Zhu, you gave me a huge surprise!" Wang Yi was delighted: "We have negotiated so many patents in one go, and our internationalization is secure!"

"Chairman, our annual number of patent applications is also ranked first! And the growth rate is the first!" Zhu Changlin said excitedly.

Xingyi Technology suffers from the disadvantage that it was established late and lacks foundation. Even if it ranks first in the number of new patents, it is not enough.

A few years of hard work can never compare to the decades of accumulation of Nokia, Apple, and Qualcomm.

To this end, Wang Yi could only spend money to buy time and purchase patents in bulk.

Only in this way can Xingyi Technology's patent moat be quickly built.

"Very good, the international deployment can be fully accelerated. On March 1, the full-screen Xingyi X will be released, directly internationalizing!"

"Great!" Zhu Changlin was also very happy: "Although the parallel imports are selling well now, they still can't catch up with the direct internationalization. And I can feel that the big wave of mobile phone upgrades in the domestic market is coming to an end."

Wang Yi nodded: "It's very likely. In the past few years, we have sold too many Xingyi mobile phones, and we have almost taken over the replacement market of domestic high-end consumer groups."

"Especially this year, the emergence of borderless mobile phones has taken up a lot of the replacement market for mid- and low-end mobile phones."

"As the domestic market slows down, it is only natural that sales will return to normal levels."

In the past, there were no Xingyi phones and Wujie phones, and the annual sales volume of smartphones in China in 2012 was only 2.3 million units.

2013年销量也只有3.5亿部，到了2014年才达到4亿多，2015年5亿多。

Then it started to fall back.

Normally, the annual sales volume of smartphones in China is only around 3 million units.

The reason why the number has been so high in recent years, reaching more than 4 million or even more than 5 million, is purely because smartphones have just exploded, and hundreds of millions of users of copycat and feature phones have concentrated on replacing them with smartphones, resulting in a wave of phone replacement!

In the past, this wave of phone replacement ended in 2015-2016, and subsequent sales fell sharply.

But in this life, thanks to the Xingyi and Wujie phones, the total sales of smartphones in China increased rapidly last year.

It surged from 2.3 million copies in the previous life to 3.7 million copies.

This year, the number of copies has increased from 3.5 million in the previous life to 5 million!

Such a horrific increase has directly consumed the wave of phone replacement in the next few years in advance!

We can't even wait until 2015-2016. If the current trend continues, the 2014-2015 wave of phone replacement may end early.

It is even possible that the transition from copycat phones and feature phones to smartphones will be completed ahead of schedule next year. Once the transition is completed, the annual sales of smartphones will drop significantly.

Domestic smartphone annual sales will fall back to around 3 million units.

By then, all Xingyi mobile phones will starve to death.

To this end, we can only internationalize quickly and grab markets abroad!
"Don't worry, Chairman, everything is progressing in an orderly manner." Zhu Changlin said with a smile: "This time I went abroad and met with colleagues from Xingyi International. They are very nice."

"I also met Franz Quentin, who is a capable person. He is in charge of international affairs now. He has a lot of ideas and is very proactive."

"That's good." Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the subject: "But as for overseas affairs, you'd better not go there in the future. If you can avoid it, don't go. Be careful not to be able to come back!"

"???" Zhu Changlin was startled: "Chairman, you mean..."

"Yes, that's what you think. The stronger we are, the more shameless they become. It's only natural that they will do something desperate. It's even possible that the FBI will directly detain people."

"This..." Zhu Changlin's face changed drastically, but looking at Wang Yi's serious attitude, he couldn't help but believe it: "Okay, Chairman, no wonder you don't let the core senior executives go on business trips casually."

"So you sneaked out this time?" Wang Yi said with a smile.

"I saw that their patent acquisition was progressing too slowly, so I planned to personally take action and acquire it before New Year's Day!"

"You did a good job, but you should take fewer risks in the future. I don't want to change the R&D president again." Wang Yi said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Chairman, I won't go out anymore. I think Franz Quentin is a good person. I'll leave everything to him from now on!" Zhu Changlin quickly assured.

"Yeah." Wang Yi nodded: "Take a rest, there will be a New Year's Eve party tonight."

"it is good."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xingyi Technology's New Year's Eve Party officially begins!
The event was attended by many superstars and stars.

Live broadcast will be carried out simultaneously on platforms such as Xingyi Video, Douyin, Mayu APP, and Xingyi Technology’s official website.

In just three minutes, the number of people online exceeded 500,000.

Break one million in five minutes!

It directly topped the hot search list of major platforms, overshadowing the New Year’s Eve galas of major satellite TV stations.

Artists under Xingyi Media took the stage one after another and presented wonderful programs, which were deeply loved by fans.

At the same time, a group of employees of Xingyi Technology also appeared on the scene to watch the party.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively.

Until the end, Wang Yi, Song Sining, Zhu Changlin and other senior executives personally went on stage to sing "Gong Xi Fa Cai" for everyone.

After the performance, Wang Yi and other senior executives raised their hands to the front and said, "I wish everyone a prosperous new year!"

"Finally, a little token of my appreciation." Wang Yi said with a smile:
"Next, we will give 50,000 Xingyi Technology employees a big red envelope of 100 million!"

"But it's not an even distribution, it's a matter of luck!"

"The total amount of red envelopes for those who want to try their luck is 88.8 million, the maximum amount is 200, and the minimum amount is !"

"As for whether it will be 200 or 88.8, it depends on your luck."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene was very excited:
"Long live President Wang!"

"A huge red envelope of 2000 million yuan, 88.8 employees, an average of yuan per person. If you are lucky, you can get yuan directly. It's so cool!"

"If I can get a big red envelope of 88.8, I will treat everyone to a feast!"

"God of Wealth bless me and let me open a big one."

"Okay, the red envelope link has been sent to the employee account. Everyone clicks on the link and logs in to their personal account to grab the red envelope."

In an instant, everyone opened their mobile phones, clicked on the link, logged into their personal accounts, and started grabbing red envelopes.

Then, cheers began to rise one after another:
"3000, not bad, better than the average."

“8888! I will definitely get rich next year!”

"I'm 6666, everything will go smoothly."

"200! I'm so unlucky!"

“188888, hahaha, thank you Mr. Wang, thank you Boss!”

In an instant, everyone looked over, their eyes filled with envy.

More than 18, which is comparable to the annual salary of many people.

Nowadays, only a few BAT companies can get this money.

There is no way, 2014 is not 2024, although the treatment in 2024 is not that good...

"Oh my god! 88.8!"

With an exclamation, everyone was shocked again, this is truly the child of destiny.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. Thank you. I have only been working for the company for a month and I have won such a big award. Thank you, thank you so much!"

This person was poached from Qualcomm. Unexpectedly, he was so lucky that he made a big fortune.

“I’m also 88.8!”

"I'll give you a little less, 666666!"

"2 me 777777!"

Big red envelopes were opened one after another, from men and women, including core architects, algorithmists, ordinary administrators, and clerks.

All red envelopes are random and depend entirely on luck. There is no shady operation.

The hundreds of thousands of red envelopes that appeared one after another pushed the atmosphere to its climax.

Not only were the employees of Xingyi Technology excited, but netizens who were watching the live broadcast were also envious and jealous.

"The employees of Xingyi Technology are so happy, aren't they? Not only do they have high salaries, they also have high year-end bonuses! Not only do they have high year-end bonuses, they also have big red envelopes!"

"A huge red envelope worth hundreds of thousands of yuan will help me get out of poverty and become rich. How many years will it take me to earn that much?"

"I'm so envious that I can't sleep. It's a huge red envelope of 88.8. I hate that I'm not an employee of Xingyi Technology."

"I'm so stupid. Why did I choose Baidu instead of Xingyi Technology? One misstep will lead to eternal regret."

"I couldn't agree more. I regret coming to Alibaba."

"Young students, if you have the opportunity, don't consider BAT if you can go to Xingyi Technology. Any hesitation for a minute is disrespectful to Xingyi Technology."

"That's right, even if it goes to Jeju's Meiyu Technology, it is still better than BAT. Oh, it's all tears if I talk too much."

"I've learned it, senior. I'll invest in Xingyi Technology after graduation!"

"I'm so envious. Such a big red envelope. Unlike our company, we didn't get a penny and were asked to work overtime."

"Working overtime +1, I feel like dying."

Wang Yi continued, "Red envelopes are available to employees of Xingyi Technology, netizens who watch the live broadcast, and fans of Xingyi Technology! From now on, log in to Douyin, enter Xingyi Technology's big red envelope, and you can try your luck to grab a red envelope."

"1 million in cash and coupons worth 2 million, total value 3 million, first come first served!"

"Wang Dong is mighty!"

"666! We talked about red envelopes during the Spring Festival last year, and we have red envelopes on New Year's Eve this year!"

"Boss Wang really treats us like family!"

"I grabbed a red envelope of 88 yuan, thank you Mr. Wang. Other apps should learn from this, even if they are only half as generous as Mr. Wang!"

"I didn't get any cash, but I got a 200 yuan TV coupon, which was a 200 yuan discount on my Xingyi TV!"

"Me too, I got 100 off my phone! Xingyi Technology's red envelopes are really useful, and the original price is directly reduced."

"I also got a 100 yuan mobile phone red envelope with no threshold, and 899 yuan to enter the first generation of Wujie!"

"I got a big red envelope of 10000 off when I spend 1000 on a TV, just enough to buy a 4K Xingyi TV."

"I used the discount coupons for Bluetooth headphones and bought the xbuds 2nd generation."

"You all got some useful red envelopes. I have to hurry up and download TikTok, and my parents too."

……

After several years of development, the number of Changchat users has exceeded 6 million, basically reaching its current peak.

However, the number of TikTok users is only 4 million, so there is still a lot of room for improvement.

So Wang Yi launched the Douyin New Year’s Day red envelope, which once again drove the growth of users.

As for the 200 million coupons for discounts, they are not fake discounts that increase prices first and then reduce discounts, but real discounts, so users will naturally not object to them.

In addition, accurate push notifications are achieved through big data tags.

For example, if the user has a Xingyi mobile phone in his shopping cart, he will be given a discount coupon for the mobile phone.

The user has been browsing Xingyi TV frequently recently, so he is given a discount coupon for the TV.

The main one is to suit his liking.

This undoubtedly made users very excited, and since the coupons were time-limited, they placed orders immediately.

As a result, sales have surged rapidly since New Year's Day, which is completely equivalent to an alternative 'Double Eleven' promotion!
The surge in sales not only covered the cost of 300 million red envelopes, but also significantly increased revenue and profits.

Without any surprise, the New Year's Eve party ended and the employees of Xingyi Technology were very happy to get big red envelopes.

Netizens were also very excited when they got the red envelopes and discount coupons.

The sales and profits of Xingyi Mall and Mayu Mall increased dramatically, and Wang Yi and Xingyi Technology were also very happy.

This is a New Year's Eve carnival where everyone is happy and satisfied!
Ali headquarters.

Looking at this scene, Jack Ma had a complicated expression:
"Wang Yi is a real talent. On Double 12, he gave out red envelopes, Douyin red envelopes, and red envelopes for discounts. He's really amazing."

"Every time it excites users, it adds a lot of new users every time."

Vice President Mo Yi agreed: "Yes, the Changchat red envelopes during the Spring Festival have directly increased Changchat payment users by hundreds of millions."

“This time, the Douyin red envelope will also lead to a surge in the number of Douyin users. It is estimated that it will soon exceed 5 million users and become another phenomenal super platform!”

"The little money Xingyi Technology spent is really worth it."

Jack Ma waved his hand: "No, he didn't spend any money at all, and he made money. He made it all back with this wave of discount activities. Wang Yi is a marketing master!"

"Yes, it's really a case of getting something for nothing, it's really great!" Mo Yi was filled with emotion: "We can do the same."

Jack Ma agreed: "Social interaction is very important. Have we developed our communication?"

“It’s been developed, and its functions are very similar to Changchat. It can be launched at any time.”

Jack Ma nodded and said, "Okay, let's start the public beta right away and officially launch it during the Spring Festival. Then we'll also send out big red envelopes to attract new users!"

"No problem, this will definitely be the fastest way to increase new users. But how many red envelopes should we give out?"

"Xingyi Technology is very wealthy and has issued 6000 million this time. We can't compete with them, so we'll just issue million."

"6000 million is not a small amount. After all, Laiwang has just started and does not have many users." Mo Yi said, and then changed the subject: "There is another question. How do we promote Laiwang? Through what channels?"

"Xingyi Technology's chat is promoted through the built-in promotion of Mayu and Xingyi mobile phones, and Douyin is promoted through the chat link. How should we communicate with each other?"

Jack Ma frowned, "This is indeed a problem, but it's not a big problem. We can learn from others' experience. We don't have our own promotion platform, so we use the Changchat link sharing to promote Laiwang!"
