Reborn since 1993

Chapter 595 Everyone Wants to Be a Hunter
In order to maintain its dominant position in the domestic chip market, Intel will continue to use the domestic chip market as its dumping ground, and it will certainly not allow any other challengers to emerge.

Now, Doxin Semiconductor is nothing to Intel and cannot be considered a strong enemy at all. Intel is ready to strangle Doxin directly, and the most effective means is, of course, price war!
Intel only needs to adjust the pricing power of the 600nm Pentium chip. As long as the Tianji chip cannot be sold in China and Dongxin suffers huge losses, Intel will make money!
The Intel Empire dominates the global chip market and has dozens of chip product series. The domestic market is just a "corner" for Intel.

In addition to the first-generation Pentium chip, Intel also has a number of upgraded chips and will launch the second-generation Pentium chip next year. Intel doesn't care at all whether it makes a profit or a loss on an old chip.

In the eyes of the Intel empire, the old chips in a corner of the world can compete with Dongxin by just using old chips and engaging in a price war, and it can also crush Dongxin Semiconductor.

Using an old chip to kill Doxin Semiconductor in the cradle is a great deal for Intel!
The first bird to stick its head out will be shot. As long as Donxin is killed, the Chinese chip market will still belong to Intel.

Once Donxin is taken over, the momentum of self-developed chips in China, which had just begun to show signs of development, will basically be blown away by the wind and rain. It will be extremely difficult to make a comeback. For at least the next ten years, no domestic company will dare to challenge Intel's authority in the chip field!
Upon hearing that Intel was going to start a price war and launch a dimensionality reduction attack on Doxin Semiconductor, Boss Liu finally showed a look of relief on his face.

If Intel really keeps the price of the first-generation Pentium chip in China fifteen dollars cheaper than the Tianji, will the Tianji still be sold?
Don’t look at the current situation. Computer manufacturers such as Founder are clamoring to support domestic chips. But if they really purchase chips on a large scale, let’s see whether they will purchase the Pentium at a reduced price or the Tianji!

With Intel competing with Donxin and Tianji facing off against Pentium, there is a lot of room for maneuver for companies like Lianxiang.

With Intel's entry, the pressure on Lian Xiang was immediately reduced a lot. Now facing Dongling Hi-Tech alone, Lian Xiang is also under tremendous pressure.

But with the support of overseas component suppliers such as Intel, Lianxiang immediately became more confident. Moreover, as the two companies fought, chip prices dropped, and Lianxiang's profits from selling machines naturally increased.

In an instant, Boss Liu suddenly felt that the emergence of the Tianji chip did not seem to be all bad news. While the snipe and the clam quarrel, only the fisherman can benefit!
"What is the attitude of other suppliers?" Boss Liu asked Guo Wei and other confidants.

“We are still waiting and watching!”

Guo Wei talked about his feelings after interacting with senior office executives from suppliers such as Intel, Sharp, and Samsung stationed in China.

"Samsung and other overseas manufacturers are still evaluating how much impact the Shenzhou computer developed by Dongling Hi-Tech will have on the domestic computer industry!

If Shenzhou computers really affect the market share and revenue of overseas manufacturers such as Samsung, Sharp, and Seagate in the domestic computer industry, they will definitely take action.

But it may be difficult to get them to fully support Lian Xiang now..."

To put it bluntly, Samsung and its manufacturers are now unwilling to reduce the prices of components for Lenovo, nor do they want to directly supply the most advanced components.

After all, in the past, people could make huge profits in China by using old models or inventory parts. They were used to making money without doing anything, so why would they be willing to cut their losses?

"The mouse is short-sighted!"

"They are not worthy of being consulted. They are nurturing a tiger to cause trouble. When Shenzhou Computer really takes off, it will be too late for them to regret!"

When Boss Liu heard that the Samsung manufacturers that supplied components to Lianxiang were still waiting and watching, he couldn't help but vent his anger.

The opponent knows the opponent best. In China, which company has done the most in-depth research on Dongling Hi-Tech? Boss Liu is definitely one of them.

Over the years, Boss Liu was familiar with the history and experience of Dongling Hi-Tech, but the more he studied it, the more frightened he became.

The truth is, anyone facing an opponent who has never made a "wrong" move would probably feel enormous pressure. If this time the same practice is followed and Dongling Hi-Tech is not wrong, then who the hell is wrong?
To deal with a company like Dongling Hi-Tech that doesn't follow the beaten path and can't be dealt with by common sense, Boss Liu feels that he has to strike it dead with one blow and not drag it out. Otherwise, once the other party has had time to catch their breath, an accident might really happen.

"We shouldn't delay. Delay will lead to changes!"

Yang Yuanqing also frowned and said that he knew that Samsung and the other companies were unreliable, but he did not expect that at this critical juncture, they were still thinking about cutting leeks and were unwilling to fully support Lian Xiang to deal with Dongling Hi-Tech.

This made Yang Yuanqing feel a little worried. If it came to a critical moment, given the nature of companies like Intel, Samsung, and Sharp, could they really be trusted?
"No matter what Intel and Samsung think, they must be prepared for the worst!"

"Keep an eye on Shenzhou. You must hold on to the high-end computer brand market, and suppress the mid- and low-end computer brand market. If necessary, you can implement a price reduction strategy!"

Boss Liu explained that he planned to build two lines of defense for Lian Xiang. The first line of defense was the high-end computer brand with the highest profit. Lian Xiang had to guard against it strictly and not let Shenzhou Computer go beyond the line!
Then they used low-end and mid-range computers to fight Dongling Hi-Tech and Shenzhou Computer, even if it was a price war, they would not let Shenzhou Computer have an easy time. In addition, Intel, Samsung, Sharp and others fought a price war with Dongxin Semiconductor, Dongfang Optoelectronics and others in the chip, memory bar, screen and other industries.

Boss Liu believed that this strategy of dividing the troops into ten groups to surround Dongling Hi-Tech would make Dongling Hi-Tech run around in a hurry and defend everywhere, and sooner or later, Dongling Hi-Tech would be dragged down!

“As long as Lian wants to cooperate with Intel and other companies, Dongling Hi-Tech will be defeated in the computer industry one day!
By that time, the world will understand my painstaking efforts and why I did not suggest developing computer chips in the first place! "

Boss Liu had an expression that showed he had seen through the fickleness of the world, "Even if Old Ni could achieve temporary success by chance and develop a few domestically produced chips.

However, the gap between the domestic and overseas semiconductor industries is so huge that it will take 50 years of hard work to catch up. It is like a hundred-year war. Can a temporary tactical success change the overall strategic situation? "

"Even if Intel, Seagate and other companies are angered, those overseas companies will stop supplying parts to China, which will destroy domestic computers.

By then, the domestic computer industry, which has just started to pick up, may completely lose its development opportunities. Only then will people see clearly who is the culprit of the domestic computer industry! "

Boss Liu showed compassion for the world and his willingness to endure humiliation for the future of the domestic computer industry.

According to Boss Liu, there is no right or wrong between him and Dongling. Of course, if Dongling Hi-Tech launches the Shenzhou computer, whether it will threaten Lenovo and affect its revenue is another matter...

However, in Boss Liu's eyes, Lian Xiang and Dongling Hi-Tech were just taking a different route that they didn't want to take. He certainly didn't think that Lian Xiang would take the wrong path!

Boss Liu doesn't want the domestic computer industry to be too aggressive and start developing its own chips right away. Instead, he wants to take it step by step and not fall out with companies like Intel, let alone anger them.

With the support of Intel and other companies, we need to exchange orders, markets, foreign exchange, etc. for Intel's technical support. By then, the transition from the old to the new will come naturally.

As for when Intel will teach its domestic apprentices real technology, that will take time. In any case, for almost forty years in the past, Samsung, Intel, AMD, Nvidia and other overseas component suppliers have not taught domestic companies real technology. Instead, they have been strictly guarding against the technology, fearing that domestic companies would learn it.

Lenovo's chassis technology is outstanding. After all, with forty years of chassis skills, this punch is indeed unbeatable...

The domestic chip industry suddenly changed. The news broadcast over there broke out a shocking rumor and announced the news of Tianji chips to the country.

Then came Founder and other computer brands, which placed orders with Dongxin for a total of more than 4500 Tianji chips. The total pre-sale amount of Tianji chips, which has not yet started mass production, is approaching million yuan, with a unit price of nearly yuan!
For a chip that has not yet been launched on the market and whose performance only exists on paper, it can be said to be a huge hit to receive such orders and pre-sale amounts.

At this point, whether it is the computer industry, scientific research industry, or the media industry, they are all quite optimistic about the Tianji chip.

If orders can pay back or even make a profit once the secret is released, then the domestic chip industry will have a chance to rise in the country in the future. After all, only when an industry makes money will more people flock in!

But at this moment, the Hong Kong media reprinted a report from the Japanese Asahi Shimbun, which immediately silenced the domestic media that were still touting the Tianji chip.

"Gregory, Intel's Asia Pacific director, announced in an interview that in order to cope with the challenges that may be faced in the Asia Pacific region, Intel will adjust the prices of some chips!

This includes the first-generation 600-nanometer Pentium chip, which will be reduced in price by 30% next month. It is expected that there will be multiple price reduction plans in the next six months to make it more competitive in markets such as the mainland.

Gregory claimed that in the future, the price of this chip may be higher than that of the Tianji chip that was just rumored to be developed by Dongxin Semiconductor in the mainland! "

The news released by Asahi Shimbun contains a lot of information. It is obvious that Intel intentionally released the news. It is almost as if Intel is pointing at Doxin Semiconductor and saying that Intel is targeting Doxin Semiconductor.

In addition to lowering the price of the first-generation Pentium chips and engaging in a price war with Tianji, Gregory also said in an interview that he would provide 450-nanometer chips to Intel's partners in mainland China, and even the 250-nanometer second-generation Pentium chips next year, and he did not rule out making mainland China one of the first launch regions.

This is obviously a threat to Dongxin Semiconductor, and also a way of telling Dongxin that all its efforts are in vain. Intel's kaleidoscope of weapons has only been used up to produce scrap metal, and its trump card weapons have not even been used yet.

Intel is blatantly showing off its skills. It is not only threatening DOCOM, but also warning other companies in Asia that want to enter the semiconductor industry, such as Samsung, SK, LG, Hyundai, as well as companies in Singapore and Japan, etc., to behave themselves!
