Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 636 Xingyi Automobile, fully self-developed!

Wang Yi looked at Zhu Changlin and said, "Don't worry about the impact from our competitors. In June, the Unbounded S906 equipped with Kunpeng 2 will also be launched."

Zhu Changlin was delighted: "That's no problem. The research and development of the Unlimited S2 series has been completed a long time ago. I will contact BYD for OEM and component procurement."

We started receiving parts and debugging the production line in April, started production in May, and launched the product for sale in June without any problems.

Unlike Apple, many of Apple's components are customized, and each generation of products is the same and cannot be used interchangeably.

Orders must be placed in advance at the parts suppliers' factories so that they can prepare time to debug the production lines, prepare stocks, and ship the goods.

Therefore, it is not easy for Apple to make major changes.

However, Xingyi Technology is different. The Wujie S series are basically copies of the previous generation of Xingyi mobile phones.

For example, the Unbounded S2, with its 5.0-inch screen, Kunpeng 902 processor, etc., all uses the same system as last year's Xphone 3. The internal motherboard is exactly the same, but the starting price is 3499.

The Unbounded S2 pro also uses the same system as the Xphone 3 plus, but the processor is upgraded to Kunpeng 906, and the price starts at 4499!
With the release of Xingyi X3 in March and Xphone 1 in September, last year's Xphone 9 series has indeed fallen behind and it is difficult to sell well without a significant price cut.

But if the price drops from the initial 5,000 or 6,000 yuan to 3,000 or 4,000 yuan, such a drastic price reduction will affect the brand and damage the high-end positioning of the Xingyi phone.

To this end, Wang Yi chose not to directly cut the price, but instead changed the shell of the Xphone 3 series, revamped it into the Wujie S2 series, reduced the price to 3499, and started selling it at 4499.

The existing Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 plus will be slightly reduced in price, with production lines reduced. They will be sold for a few more months before being directly cleared out of inventory and withdrawn from the market.

This will not only not affect the high-end positioning of the Xingyi mobile phone, but also use the new vest of Wujie S2 to ensure sufficient competitiveness to compete in the mid-to-high-end with friendly companies such as iPhone, Samsung, LG, China Cool Alliance, Meimi, OV, etc.

Of course, the price of the Unlimited S2 pro will increase as its processor is upgraded to Kunpeng 906, starting at 4499.

The new Kunpeng 906 phones from other friendly companies will also be priced between 3499 and 5499.

In the competition at the same price point, the Skyrim S2 pro is absolutely competitive.

Even if Xiaomi's new Kunpeng 906 flagship is sold at 3499, more users will choose to buy the 4499 Wujie S2 pro.

It’s only a 1000 yuan difference, but the actual experience of the 2 ​​S200 pro is % better than that of Xiaomi.

There is no doubt about this.

"There is also the Xingyi X1 series, and a pro version equipped with Kunpeng 9 will be launched in September," Wang Yi instructed.

"Chairman, rest assured. Kunpeng 910 is also manufactured using the 28nm process, but with a slightly upgraded architecture. The R&D is progressing smoothly and we expect it to be taped out next month. We will start mass production in June, and we will be able to upgrade the chip of the Xingyi X6 pro version and mass produce the Xphone 7 in July."

If Kunpeng 910 is fully upgraded to quad-core A57 and 20nm process, it would be equivalent to demolishing Kunpeng 906 and completely redeveloping a processor. The difficulty of research and development will increase a lot and it will take a long time.

但鲲鹏910依旧是熟悉的28纳米，并且只是把八核A53换成了6核A53 +双核A57，那难度就小了很多。

We only need to solve the upgrade problem of the dual-core A57 part and the GPU upgrade problem.

So it's going pretty well.

Compared with next year's 14nm Kunpeng 920, it is much simpler and smoother.

"Chairman, should we raise the price of the Xphone 4 series in September, which is equipped with the latest Kunpeng 910 processor?" Zhu Changlin asked.

Wang Yi thought about it and waved his hand: "No price increase, the starting price will continue to be 5699. The iPhone 6 series released in September this year has been significantly upgraded, so there is no need to increase the price of Xphone 4. Let's keep the price similar and kill iPhone 6 first."

The 4-inch iPhone 5s has no chance of competing with the Xingyi phone. Xingyi X1 is 5 yuan more expensive, so users will give up the iPhone 1S and buy Xingyi X.

But when it comes to iPhone 6, it also has large screens of 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches. If the Xphone 4 is two thousand more expensive, some users will choose to give up the Xphone 4 and buy the iPhone 6.

Especially those veteran Apple fans, who have a deep love for Apple.

Considering the price is two thousand dollars cheaper, I am still willing to support the iPhone 6 series!

This is not worth the gain.

Having finally reduced iPhone sales by 8%, Wang Yi doesn't want to see a revival.

On the contrary, maintaining the status quo and continuing to decline is the best destination for Apple.

The next few years will be a critical period for defeating Apple, and Xingyi Technology must go all out.

Since consumers prefer new to old, Wang Yi will increase the speed of updates and replacements, quickly introduce new products, and ensure that the processors are the strongest and most competitive!
In June, the Unbounded S6 was directly upgraded to Kunpeng 2, with a starting price of 902 yuan, and the Unbounded S3499 pro series was directly upgraded to Kunpeng 2, with a starting price of 906 yuan. Both are very competitive and are intended to fully attack the iPhone and leave no room for the other party.

Even a lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit, let alone a brilliant overlord like the iPhone.

Doing his best to defeat them is Wang Yi’s greatest respect for Apple!

Wang Yi felt relieved as he let Zhu Changlin take full charge of the cell phone matter.

And he set off for your province to sign a big contract - Xingyi Cloud Data Western Center!

This project is far away in your province, a place Wang Yi has never been to.

But it is also closely related to Jeju.

In the past few years, Director Hong served as the director of the Management Committee of Jeju High-tech Zone. He has strongly supported Wang Yi since the beginning of his business and supported Mayu Technology and Xingyi Technology.

Wang Yi was grateful for the help he received and established several Xingyi mobile phone super factories, Xingyi tablet super factories, several large clothing factories, as well as the Mayu Technology Headquarters, Xingyi Technology Provincial Headquarters, and Wujie Technology Headquarters in Jeju...

After this series of investments, the GDP of the Hi-Tech Zone soared, directly surpassing that of Lishan District.

The GDP of a high-tech zone is higher than that of many third- and fourth-tier cities!

With such brilliant political achievements, it would be hard for Director Hong not to be promoted.

As a result, Director Hong was directly promoted to the position of Director of the Department of Commerce of your province.

This is a promotion, but also a test.

The economic vitality of your province is much lower than that of Shandong Province, which ranks third in the country.

The businesses and industries here are much worse than those in Jeju.

Director Hong was overwhelmed when he came here.

As the director of the Department of Commerce, he started a series of activities and made every effort to attract investment as soon as he took office.

But unfortunately, the effect was minimal.

In desperation, Director Hong could only find Wang Yi, hoping that Wang Yi could come to your province to invest.

Wang Yi is a man who repays every bit of kindness with gratitude.

Not only did he readily agree to Director Hong's invitation, he also gave advice - to take advantage of Guizhou's unique mountainous environment, invest in the data center industry, and comprehensively build a cloud-based Guizhou Province.

And we guarantee that after the cloud is launched in Guizhou Province, Xingyi Technology will be the first to invest in building a new large-scale data center!

Director Hong was in a very good mood and immediately mobilized all his energy to make plans and submit them for approval.

God helps those who work hard. The large project in Yunshang Guizhou Province, which was originally scheduled to be launched at the end of this year, was launched ahead of schedule last year due to the promotion of Director Hong and Wang Yi.

After nearly a year of development, the originally uninhabited mountainous areas have undergone tremendous changes.

The highway was built deep into the mountains, and a series of infrastructure such as optical cables, electricity, and water conservancy were all laid out.

Now that these infrastructures have been completed, the Yunshang Guisheng project has been officially completed and the subsequent data center construction is underway.

As the first company to sign a contract and move in, Xingyi Technology is also the signature company for promoting the Yunshang Gui Province project, so naturally it had to attend in a grand manner.

Chairman Wang Yi also has to go there in person to show his support.

Also coming to your province is Du Lun, director of Xingyi Cloud Data Center!

As the former director of Baidu Data Center, Du Lun is a typical technical player. He has presided over the construction planning of multiple Baidu Cloud Data Centers and has rich experience and outstanding abilities.

However, such an executive who is only good at technology but not good at fighting cannot last long in Baidu and eventually has to leave in disgrace.

When Song Sining was screening talents, she discovered Duren and directly invited him for an interview.

After confirming Duren's ability and strength, Song Sining reported it to Wang Yi.

Subsequently, Wang Yi was appointed as the director of Durham Xingyi Cloud Data Center, responsible for the construction of the first and second phases of the Jeju Cloud Data Center.

Now all of them have been put into use, with a total of more than 100,000 servers, becoming the brain of the entire Xingyi Technology Group!
And it is a cloud storage center for hundreds of millions of Xingyi mobile phone users and Wujie mobile phone users!
At present, 10 servers are enough, or even not enough.

To this end, Xingyi Cloud Data Center also provides server leasing services and provides comprehensive server support to third-party companies.

But in the long run, 10 servers are simply not enough. Even if the third and fourth phases of the Jeju Cloud Data Center are built and servers are added later, it will not be enough in the future.

There is no other reason. Whether it is Tik Tok, Changchat, Xingyi Video, Xingyi Music, Xingyi Game, or Xingyi Mobile Phone, etc., they are all big server users and require a lot of computing power.

Especially with the internationalization of Xingyi and Wujie mobile phones, users have expanded from domestic to global, the user scale has expanded again, and the demand for servers has also expanded again.

The subsequent Xingyi car, future intelligent driving, etc., all require terrifying computing power.

It is necessary to invest in building a new, larger cloud data center.

The scale is even larger than the entire Jeju Phase IV project, reaching 60 servers.

Add to that the 80 units in Jeju, a total of units, which will be enough for the next few years!
As soon as Wang Yi and his party landed at the airport, the reception staff immediately came to greet them:
"Director Wang, please come this way. Director Hong has prepared a dinner to welcome you!"

"Thank you." Wang Yi said with a smile.

The business car sped all the way and finally arrived at an elegant hotel.

"Mr. Wang, please take a seat. These are the specialties of your province. Come and try them."

"We are in for a treat. You can't eat such authentic Guizhou cuisine in Jeju," Wang Yi said with a smile.

"Then you should come to your province more often. I will be here for the next few years."

"That's no problem, especially in the summer, it's cool here, suitable for escaping the heat."

Director Hong's term of office will be at least three years, and there will be no further changes until he has made achievements.

After not seeing each other for a year, Director Hong raised his glass and expressed deep emotion:

"Mr. Wang, thank you for your guidance, which helped me to identify the general direction of the data center. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to move forward! I toast you with this glass of wine!" Director Hong raised his glass and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

When I first came to your province, I was really confused and encountered obstacles everywhere.

How easy is it to attract investment?
Like Internet giants and financial giants, who will come to your province to develop?
Fortunately, with Wang Yi's suggestion, Director Hong found a new world in developing data centers.

Your province is mostly mountainous, with an average temperature of 15 degrees. It's not suitable for anything else, but it's perfect for developing cloud data centers!

It can be said that it is the holy body of the innate data center!

It is conceivable that if the Yunshang Guizhou Province project is completed, Director Hong’s future will be secure.

Can I not thank Wang Yi?
"Director Hong, you're welcome. I also have to thank you for your strong support for Mayu Technology when I started my business. That was really a timely help, and we both achieved mutual success!" Wang Yi also raised his glass.

Wang Yi and Director Hong have achieved mutual success.

Director Hong's strong support for Wang Yi at the beginning of his business has accelerated the development of Mayu Technology and even the entire Xingyi Technology Group by several levels.

And because so many of Wang Yi's projects were completed ahead of schedule, Director Hong's political achievements in Jeju were outstanding beyond standards.

After arriving in Guizhou Province, Wang Yi helped Director Hong promote the Yunshang Guizhou Province project, which was another significant political achievement.

It can be said that as long as Yunshang Gui Province is implemented, the GDP of Guizhou Province will skyrocket, and Director Hong’s future will be really unimaginable.

After all, Director Hong is very young and has always been the youngest among leaders of the same level.

Young people are better at fighting, and the same is true for career development. "That's a good saying, we can achieve mutual success!" Director Hong was in a good mood: "Cheers!"

"cheers!"

That night, the two talked about everything under the sun.

Wang Yi clearly felt that Director Hong today was completely different from the Director Hong before in Jeju.

Especially his attitude towards Wang Yi.

While in Jeju, although they were polite and supportive, they still maintained a special sense of boundaries.

That is the distance that should exist between politicians and entrepreneurs.

Once this layer of alienation disappears and politicians and entrepreneurs become close, problems are more likely to arise.

But now, that alienation is gone.

Director Hong regards Wang Yi not only as an entrepreneur, but also as a very trustworthy friend!

Wang Yi didn't care about this.

As for the reason, Wang Yi could imagine it.

The relationship was good before, but there were some other factors involved.

At that time, Director Hong was the director of the High-tech Zone Management Committee, and the headquarters of Mayu Technology and the Shandong Province headquarters of Xingyi Technology were both located in the High-tech Zone.

It can be said that Director Hong needs Wang Yi's support, and Wang Yi also needs Director Hong's support.

It's a kind of cooperation.

But now it’s different. Director Hong has been transferred away from Jeju and the relationship between the two has changed.

Wang Yi no longer needs Director Hong's support, but Director Hong still needs Wang Yi's full support.

In this situation, Wang Yi is still willing to support Director Hong, which has a completely different meaning.

It is precisely because of this that Director Hong's attitude towards Wang Yi has changed a little, and he increasingly treats Wang Yi as his own.

Naturally, Wang Yi would not refuse.

Director Qin from the imperial capital and Director Hong in front of him are both Wang Yi's "background".

The better the two of them develop, the more stable the development of Xingyi Technology will be.

Like the previous technology war proposal and the major semiconductor reform, it affected many people's interests and many people opposed it, but it was still passed in the end.

The reason is that it is not only in line with the general direction of the village, but it was also proposed by Director Qin, who strongly supported it and even gambled his future on it.

Director Hong also received special treatment in Jeju. Now Yunshang Guizhou Province gives Xingyi Technology the best position and treatment, without a doubt.

The same is true for Director Liu, the newly appointed Director in Jeju.

We drank until very late and then dispersed.

The next day, Wang Yi and Director Hong, as well as leaders from your province, attended the signing ceremony and formally signed the contract.

Your province has given Xingyi Technology a series of strong support.

Xingyi Technology will invest 60 billion yuan in your province to build the 2000-acre Xingyi Cloud Data Western Center!

The entire project is divided into three phases, with approximately 20 servers in each phase. After all three phases are put into use, there will be 60 servers.

This scale is three times higher than that of Jeju. When the fourth phase of Jeju is fully built, there will be only 20 servers!
There's no way, the climate in Jeju is much worse than in your province.

It is close to the headquarters of Mayu Technology and Xingyi Technology in Shandong Province, and it is Wang Yi’s hometown, so it has the home advantage. That is why Wang Yi placed the northern center in Jeju, radiating to the east and north.

In your province, there are no emotional factors, it’s just that the conditions are suitable.

The average annual temperature in your province is 15 degrees, and it is a natural cooling field. The natural heat dissipation alone can save a lot of costs and resources. It is very suitable for building a data center.

In this low-temperature environment, indirect evaporative cooling or natural cooling can be used throughout the year to reduce PUE (power utilization efficiency) from the traditional 1.5-1.8 to below 1.2!

In addition, electricity in your province is abundant and low-cost.

Relying on the Wujiang River, Beipanjiang River and other river basins, your province's installed capacity of hydropower is astonishing, with clean energy accounting for more than 50%. The electricity bill for a data center is cents, and there are additional subsidies for Xingyi Technology, which is only cents!
It is also a hub for transmitting electricity from west to east, so the power supply is stable and there is almost no power outage.

But if you go to other places, you simply can't do this.

For high-tech companies, power outages are fatal.

TSMC suffers heavy losses every time there is a power outage.

Likewise, if there is a power outage in the data center, the loss will be even greater.

Even in Jeju, a powerful energy storage system and temporary power generation system have been built to prepare for sudden power outages.

In your province, there is almost no need to worry about power outages.

At the same time, being far away from earthquake zones and having a stable geological structure are also great advantages.

So Wang Yi went all in on Gui Province and increased the original planned scale of 20 servers to 60!

This magnitude is quite terrifying.

In comparison, Apple Cloud's previous iCloud data center in Guizhou Province covered an area of ​​1000 acres. After the third phase was fully completed, it would only have 30 servers, only half of Xingyi Technology's.

The Western Center of Xingyi Technology has 60 servers, and the Eastern Center in Jeju has another 20, for a total of 80 servers!

This will be enough for the next seven or eight years, but it will not be enough in the long run.

Especially after internationalization, the demand for computing power is too great.

Wang Yi estimates that the number will continue to increase in the future!

It would be about the same if the scale were increased to 500 million servers.

Ten years later, Tencent and Alibaba both have five million servers, and Apple and Microsoft also have around five million.

As for Amazon, it’s a little more, over 700 million!
Google is even more terrifying, with more than 2500 million servers worldwide!

But there is no rush. Let’s build these and put them into use first.

In the future, we will plan ahead and continue to build according to the needs.

In addition, we have to plan overseas cloud data centers in the future, there is no way around it.

Especially Omi's side.

After Xingyi Technology goes global, the data of global users will be stored in China, and Europe and the United States will definitely not agree to this.

By then, we will definitely have to establish cloud data centers overseas to store the data of overseas users.

Just like what we have with Apple, it also exists in Guizhou Province on the cloud.

After the signing of the contract, Director Hong and the leaders of your province were in a good mood.

Xingyi Technology is the first giant to settle in Guizhou Province on the cloud, and it has a giant data center with 60 servers.

It can be said that it’s a good start!

With Xingyi Technology setting an example, other companies will follow suit.

There is no doubt about this.

Whether it is the province's unique natural environment or strong official support, major companies will follow suit.

Sure enough, not long after Xingyi Technology signed the contract, China Mobile also came and started negotiating with Yunshang Gui Province.

Director Hong was delighted with this and was even more grateful for Wang Yi's strong support.

Wang Yi knew that this was just the beginning.

Next, Huawei and Tencent will move in one after another and build data centers in your province.

As for Apple, it’s hard to say.

In the past, Apple had hundreds of millions of users in China, which was Apple's largest consumer market in the world. It could not give up at all and could only come to Yunshang Guizhou Province to build a data center.

But this time, it’s hard to say.

For example, Apple’s sales have dropped to only 20% and the number of users has dropped significantly.

If sales surge in the future and return to their peak, we may be able to build a data center.

But if it continues to decline like this and its size is cut in half again and again, will data centers still be built at that time?
Most likely not.

Just like Samsung in its previous life, after Note 7, Samsung was completely ruined and eventually had to withdraw from the domestic market.

Now with Xingyi Technology, Apple may also follow Samsung’s script.

But these things are not what Wang Yi should worry about.

On the contrary, after leaving Gui Province, Wang Yi went directly to the Magic City, the headquarters of Xingyi Automobile.

After nearly two years of construction, Xingyi Automobile’s headquarters is no longer what it used to be.

Not only has the R&D headquarters been completed and put into use, but the first phase of the factory has also been completed and the production line is being introduced.

The second phase of the factory is also progressing smoothly and is expected to be put into use in the second half of next year.

The Xingyi Automobile project requires huge investment, and Shanghai has also provided a series of high-level support.

For example, a 200 billion interest-free loan and 35 acres of industrial land worth 1500 billion for free.

There are also tax incentives and so on, which are extremely generous.

But there is no free lunch in the world.

Behind these preferential policies, there are restrictions on gambling agreements.

The 200 billion interest-free loan is earmarked for a specific purpose and can only be used for the research and development of Xingyi Automobile and the construction of its headquarters and factories.

Modou arranged a professional team to audit this support.

In addition, Xingyi Automobile is expected to be successfully developed before the end of 2015 and put into mass production in 2016.

In other words, the product will be successfully developed before the end of next year and will be put into mass production and on the market the year after.

Starting from 2019, the annual tax amount will exceed 5 million!
If he fails to do so, Wang Yi will have to spend 1500 billion to buy back the 35 acres of industrial land!

To this end, Wang Yi directly appointed Song Sining as the president of Xingyi Automobile. Except for special circumstances, he was always in Shanghai to monitor the research and development of Xingyi Automobile.

There is no way, Xingyi Automobile has invested too much, and 200 billion is just the starting point.

In the past, Xiaomi spent 100 billion to produce it, provided that all the core components were purchased and used as finished products from third-party suppliers, so the R&D cost was very low.

But Xingyi Automobile is different. The core components of Xingyi Automobile are all self-developed!
