“The Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra goes on sale globally today!”
ASE Chairman Zhang Sheng's expression turned completely cold, and the last bit of luck was gone.
The Xingyi tablet X1 Ultra equipped with Kunpeng 702 is now on sale. Kunpeng 702 must have been fully mass-produced and has completed sealing and testing!
"Made, I'm afraid this guy Wang Yi has mastered the packaging and testing capabilities of 40 nanometer chips a long time ago, and he deliberately tricked me!"
Zhang Qing was very angry and finally realized the problem: "No, I have to talk to him later!"
The vice president was speechless: "Chairman, do we need to humiliate ourselves again?"
"!!!" Zhang Sheng's face was livid, and his heart was extremely angry.
The Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra is a crazy hot seller!
The original Xingyi tablet X1 pro was extremely powerful. The third generation iPad of the same generation was discontinued half a year after it was launched, making it the iPad with the shortest life span in history.
Even compared to the fourth generation iPad, the GPU is still slightly insufficient.
Nowadays, the Xingyi tablet X1 Ultra is launched, equipped with Kunpeng 702, which not only makes up for the shortcomings of the GPU, but also surpasses the fourth generation iPad, and the CPU beats the fourth generation iPad several times.
It was also launched one day earlier than the fourth generation iPad, so one can imagine the results.
Those users who had prepared money and planned to buy the fourth generation iPad on the 24th rushed to the nearby Xingyi flagship store and specialty store on the 23rd to buy the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra.
There are also fans of Xingyi Technology who have placed orders one after another to buy the most powerful tablet of the year.
As you can imagine, the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra sold out completely!
In just one hour, online sales exceeded 500,000 units.
This does not include offline and overseas.
Looking at this data, Wang Yi was shocked:
"Trouble, the 3 million units prepared in stock are simply not enough."
Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra has prepared 3 million in stock at the initial stage, one million online, one million offline, and one million overseas.
Zhu Changlin also had a complicated expression: "It stands to reason that it can be sold for at least half a month. After all, tablets are not mobile phones, so the sales are not that popular. But with this attitude, it can only be sold for three days at most!"
"The factory will add orders as soon as possible!" Wang Yi said decisively: "Either you don't take action, or if you do, you will be killed, so that the iPad will not be able to stand up!"
At present, Xingyi mobile phones cannot be globalized, but Xingyi tablets have become globalized, which will have a greater impact on iPads.
Zhu Changlin was a little embarrassed: "Many X1 Ultra tablets in the factory have become semi-finished products, just waiting for the Kunpeng 702 SOC chip. At present, 15 million Kunpeng 702 units have been produced, but only 6 million units have been sealed and tested, and the rest are in
Queuing up for packaging and testing. A lot of Kunpeng 700s have also been produced, and they are also queuing up for packaging and testing, which results in relatively low packaging and testing efficiency..."
Wang Yi understood.
Currently, Xingyi B1 wafer fab has a monthly output of 15 million Kunpeng 702, and Xingyi M1 wafer fab has a monthly output of 15 million Kunpeng 700. The production capacity is very abundant.
In addition, the B1 wafer fab was put into production more than a month ago and has mass produced more than 15 million Kunpeng 702.
Coupled with the production capacity in the next month, Kunpeng 702 will reach 30 million units, enough for the Xphone 2 and Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra.
But unfortunately, the Modu packaging and testing factory has just been put into operation, and the packaging and testing production capacity cannot keep up.
This is embarrassing.
After all, Kunpeng 700 also has to be tested.
This is also the reason why Wang Yi did not release the Xphone 1 Kunpeng Edition and Xingyi Tablet X1 Kunpeng Edition.
Once it is released, some Kunpeng 700 will have to be freed up to make Kunpeng 506.
By then, the sealing and testing capabilities will be even more urgent.
"Now that the Kunpeng version has been released, there must be no mistakes." Wang Yi made a quick decision: "In this case, Chang Lin, you let the packaging and testing factory in Shanghai go all out to package Kunpeng 702."
"What about the Kunpeng 700? The Xphone 1pro Kunpeng version will be released tomorrow, equipped with the Kunpeng 700. Although we have packaged three million Kunpeng 700s, it is obviously not enough."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "It's okay. I have my own concerns about the packaging of Kunpeng 700."
As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary walked in: "Chairman, Director Zhang of ASE would like to see you."
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!" Wang Yixiao said, "Please!"
Soon, Zhang Sheng walked in, but his expression was extremely gloomy.
It's really a nose, not a nose, and eyes, not eyes.
Wang Yi was calm and calm: "Dr. Zhang, sit down and drink tea!"
"No, Mr. Wang's tea is too expensive and I can't afford it," Zhang Sheng said angrily.
How could you not know that Wang Yi was tricking you?
Originally, he thought that Wang Yi could not handle the packaging technology of 40-nanometer logic chips, so he simply proposed a billion dollar bet and subsequent orders.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yi has already mastered the 40-nanometer packaging technology and has kept the packaging confidential!
So much so that he didn't receive any news.
It was not until today that Kunpeng 702 was released and Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra equipped with Kunpeng 702 went on sale globally that Zhang Sheng suddenly realized.
But unfortunately, it was too late and it was over.
His bet was completely lost!
"Director Zhang is still angry about the gambling issue?" Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Hmph! Mr. Wang is so clever. I'm just curious. When did you complete the packaging and testing technology for 40-nanometer logic chips?"
Zhang Sheng asked the biggest question.
"To be honest, as early as the beginning of the year, we recruited some semiconductor talents to lay out the upstream and downstream semiconductor industry chain."
Wang Yi said calmly: "Unexpectedly, those people have perfected the 40-nanometer packaging and testing technology."
Zhang Sheng was speechless: "..."
Does this even work?
"Listen to this, when we were working on 40nm packaging and testing technology, Director Wang, you didn't know that either?"
Wang Yi nodded: "Yeah, I don't know either. I thought they were developing chips, but they ended up packaging chips."
Zhang Sheng was completely silent: "..."
What else can be said?
It can only be said that it is unbelievable that it is so wrong.
In fact, this was all Mr. Hu’s idea, and Wang Yi really didn’t know about the closed beta.
He thought that the people Mr. Hu brought back were all talents in the field of chip mass production, but he did not expect that there were actually talents in the field of packaging and testing.
Mr. Hu didn’t think it was that easy to complete the closed beta test, so he treated it as a side project and squeezed out some funds for the closed beta test team. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be successful!
It can only be said that the willow trees are planted unintentionally.
Wang Yi made up his mind to give the sealing and testing team extra chicken legs and four months of year-end bonuses when he returned.
This year’s closed beta group, all have 16 salaries!
In fact, whether the chip is powerful or not, packaging and testing technology is also very important.
Samsung once stole Apple chip orders from TSMC because of its breakthrough in packaging technology.
Later, TSMC's packaging technology made a breakthrough, but after Mr. Liang joined Samsung, he attached great importance to chip production technology and despised chip packaging technology, which caused Samsung's packaging technology to stagnate, and Apple's orders were once again taken away by TSMC.
Later, this incident became one of the reasons why Mr. Liang left Samsung.
Powerful packaging capabilities can make the chip thinner, achieve lower power consumption, and better heat dissipation, thereby achieving stronger performance!
Therefore, Wang Yi attaches great importance to chip research and development, chip production, and chip packaging!
After a long silence, Zhang Sheng sighed: "Dr. Wang, you are superior. I lost this bet. Farewell!"
With that said, Zhang Sheng stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wang Yi: "Director Zhang."
"Director Wang, do you have any other advice? There is no need to say any more words that humiliate me."
Zhang Sheng's tone was very unkind.
It’s okay if he loses the bet. The packaging and testing plant could be sold for 2 billion, but 1.5 billion was given to Wang Yi, resulting in a loss of 500 million.
If so, it's still acceptable.
The problem is that Xingyi Semiconductor has mastered advanced 40nm packaging and testing technology and has become a strong rival of ASE!
Sending factories to the enemy at cabbage prices to help the enemy grow rapidly will be laughed at!
Fortunately, this matter has not spread yet, but it can't be hidden for long.
Once everyone in the industry knows about it, both Zhang Sheng and ASE will become the biggest joke.
Even Zhang Sheng suspected that Wang Yi might take the initiative to spread the news!
Wang Yi smiled faintly: "I don't have any advice, but do you have an order?"
"???"
Zhang Sheng was confused: "What do you mean?"
Wang Yixiao said: "The Kunpeng version of the tablet has sold very well. The sales of the Pterosaur 3000 baseband are also terrible. Currently, seven companies have placed orders for more than 15 million units!"
The corner of Zhang Sheng's mouth twitched: "..."
What does it mean?
Are you really no longer a human being?
Instead of being directly sarcastic, how about showing off to me?
Wang Yixiao said: "In addition, our packaging and testing factory in Magic City has just started production and has limited packaging and testing capabilities. Therefore, we plan to hand over some orders to ASE."
Zhang Sheng was silent: "..."
His originally gloomy complexion suddenly became clear.
Still with some disbelief: "Dr. Wang, are you serious?"
"Of course!" Wang Yi said decisively: "As the largest packaging and testing factory, ASE has outstanding packaging and testing capabilities. We, Xingyi Semiconductor, can rest assured that we will hand over the order to you. It's just that the order is a bit urgent."
"Thank you, Director Wang!" Zhang Sheng was a little excited: "Dr. Wang, don't worry, we have four...three packaging and testing factories in the mainland. Just say hello, we will arrange it immediately, and we will definitely give you priority as soon as possible!"
"I feel relieved because of what Director Zhang said. In this way, all the Pterosaur 3000 basebands produced by TSMC will be transferred to you for packaging and testing. I will also hand over some of the Kunpeng 700 chips to you for packaging and testing."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I will give you the lowest price and the best efficiency and quality!"
Zhang Sheng was in a great mood, and felt that his villain's heart had become a gentleman's.
I thought that Wang Yi kept him to insult him, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be to give him a super big order.
There is no way, the current capacity of the packaging and testing factory in Shanghai is limited, with a maximum monthly packaging and testing capacity of 40 million chips.
In the next month, we can only package the 30 million Kunpeng 702 units produced in November and next month.
As for Kunpeng 700, a maximum of 10 million units will be sealed and tested.
But obviously, 10 million Kunpeng 700 is not enough.
As we continue to recruit workers and expand production capacity, it is expected that the monthly packaging and testing capacity of the Modu packaging and testing factory will exceed 50 million units in January.
By then, the two fabs will be able to produce 30 million wafers per month, plus the baseband, so there will be no pressure.
But the Kunpeng 700 is in a hurry to be launched, and the Wing Loong 3000 is also in a hurry to be delivered, and they cannot wait until January.
Mainland giants such as Changdian Technology are under pressure to seal and test 40nm logic chips, so Wang Yi can only turn to ASE.
All the extra 5 million Kunpeng 700 and 15 million Wing Loong 3000 basebands were handed over to ASE for packaging and testing.
First of all, I can use this order to clear up the past feud.
In business, many friends lead to many paths.
Secondly, Wang Yi focused on ASE's other three packaging and testing plants.
Let's cooperate now and turn enemies into friends.
Subsequently, ASE was in recession, and Wang Yi directly took action to acquire ASE’s remaining three mainland packaging and testing plants.
Without this cooperation, ASE would hate Wang Yi to death due to the Modu sealing and testing factory incident.
It would be even more impossible to acquire ASE's packaging and testing plant in the future. Zhang Sheng couldn't bear this tone.
But with orders for the Pterosaur 3000 baseband and Kunpeng 700, everything is easy.
Sure enough, Zhang Sheng directly picked up the tea cup on the table: "Dr. Wang, it's my fault that I'm too small. I'm going to replace wine with tea!"
Although it was not stated explicitly, the gesture of apology was enough!
Wang Yi also picked up the teacup: "Xingyi Technology does not want to be an enemy of any company. We still have a lot of room for cooperation in the future."
"Yes, ASE will be Xingyi Semiconductor's most reliable ally in the future!" Zhang Sheng said with a smile.
Also, Xingyi Technology's packaging and testing capabilities may be good, but there is only one packaging and testing factory, which is not enough for its own use.
But ASE is different. There are dozens of packaging and testing factories all over the world!
It is absolutely possible to accept many orders from Xingyi Semiconductor.
But unfortunately, Zhang Sheng thought simply.
The order given by Wang Yi was just to catch the big fish in the long run.
The original intention is to ease the relationship between the two parties and fully acquire ASE’s three mainland packaging and testing plants in the future!
The future Xingyi Semiconductor explosion will have to be an all-round explosion.
Chip design, chip mass production, chip packaging and testing!
Both are indispensable.
Packaging and testing factories are also indispensable.
Wang Yike knows that powerful packaging and testing technology can change the fate of a generation of chips.
First-class chips, third-rate packaging and testing, but ultimately only second-rate.
On the contrary, second-rate chips and first-rate packaging and testing are also expected to reach quasi-first-rate standards.
More importantly, most fabs and packaging and testing plants are currently separated, and ASE is still the giant.
But in the future, both wafer fabs and packaging and testing plants will shoulder the responsibility.
For example, Samsung Semiconductor is wafer foundry + chip packaging and testing.
Nowadays, TSMC has also begun to work hard on packaging and testing, but unfortunately the technology has just started and there is no problem in packaging and testing small chips.
For example, the previous fast charging chip C1 and smart home chip H1, these low-level small chips are all manufactured by TSMC and directly packaged, tested, and cut.
But for logic chips like the Pterosaur 3000 baseband, TSMC’s current packaging and testing capabilities are not enough, so Wang Yi can only hand it over to ASE.
However, a few years later, TSMC's packaging and testing capabilities began to make a qualitative leap, even surpassing ASE.
By then, the one-stop service of wafer foundry + chip packaging and testing will be the end of ASE's good days.
In fact, TSMC and SMIC will follow this path in the future.
Similarly, Xingyi Semiconductor will also develop in this way, with wafer foundry + chip packaging and testing, one-stop service.
To this end, Xingyi Semiconductor will acquire more packaging and testing plants and invest in building more packaging and testing plants.
It is best to build it next to the wafer factory or near the mobile phone factory.
In this way, the chips that have been packaged and tested are sent directly to the factory, which greatly reduces chip transportation costs and time costs.
In addition to the packaging and testing factory in Magic City, another packaging and testing factory will be built in Imperial Capital and Jeju next!
The packaging and testing factory in Teido is close to the Teido wafer factory and the Teido mobile phone factory, while the packaging and testing factory in Jeju is close to the Xingyi mobile phone super factory and tablet factory.
There are also several packaging and testing factories of ASE in the mainland, and they will all be acquired in the future!
"Dr. Wang, don't worry. I have arranged for Xingyi Semiconductor's chips to be packaged as soon as they arrive!"
After signing the contract, Zhang Sheng was in a good mood.
This time, we directly won the packaging and testing order for 15 million Wing Loong 3000 basebands and the packaging and testing order for 5 million Kunpeng 700.
Zhang Sheng was so happy, but he didn't know that this would be ASE's last shining moment.
Without him, without ASE, Samsung, TSMC and other chip foundry giants can do their own packaging.
But without chip foundry giants like Samsung and TSMC, ASE would have no chips to seal.
This cooperation will also be of great benefit to Xingyi Technology.
With ASE's sealing and testing, efficiency can be greatly improved.
Next, Kunpeng version of mobile phones and tablets will be fully supplied, which will not be a problem.
Today’s hot searches are monopolized by Xingyi Technology and Kunpeng Chip.
Not just domestically, but also abroad.
[Reuters: Xingyi Semiconductor leads Apple, Qualcomm, and Samsung and takes the lead in launching the world’s first integrated baseband SOC chip, Kunpeng 700!]
[BBC: Xingyi Technology released the annual flagship chip Kunpeng 702, beating Qualcomm APQ 8064 and Apple A6X, making it the strongest on the planet!]
[Jingbao: Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra is on sale globally, completely crushing the fourth generation iPad.]
[The Guardian: Xingyi Semiconductor has risen strongly, and all Apple products have been completely beaten!]
[Ta Kung Pao: Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi tablets will be fully upgraded to Kunpeng 700/702, with powerful performance!]
…
After seeing these news, many foreigners who woke up were confused:
"What do you mean? I just slept, and Qualcomm APQ 8064 was suspended?"
"What the hell is Kunpeng 702 SOC? Is it even more powerful than the just-released A6X?"
"Damn it, the CPU is several times that of the A6X, the Kunpeng 702 is invincible!"
“I still want to buy the fourth generation iPad, now I’m going to buy Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!”
“Apple A6X was beaten, Nvidia Tegra 3 was beaten, Qualcomm APQ 8064 was also beaten, how powerful is Kunpeng 702?”
"Is it fake? I don't believe it! It's probably all fake data made by Xingyi Technology itself."
"Yes, it must be fake data!"
"I'm so fake. Didn't you see that these data were all measured by ARM? The chairman of ARM personally endorsed them, how can they be fake?"
"It's not fake data. How could Qualcomm, Apple, and Nvidia lose to Xingyi Technology? A Xia Guo company."
"How is this impossible? The iPhone has been destroyed by Xingyi Mobile."
“The third generation of iPad was also abused by Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro, which was discontinued half a year after its launch.”
"Well, it's true. The Xia Kingdom has risen too fast."
"I have placed an order for the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra, but I have to wait for parallel imports of the Kunpeng version of the Xphone 2, which is really frustrating."
…
In the early morning of the 24th, most people in the East went to sleep, while the carnival feast in the West was in full swing.
It's just that on this day, the target of everyone's rush is not the fourth generation iPad, but the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!
Many Apple fans arrived at the Apple flagship store, only to see a long queue at the Xingyi flagship store opposite.
After some understanding and knowing the power of Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra, they also joined in and queued up to buy.
On the contrary, Apple’s flagship store was deserted.
Such a scene appears in Western countries.
Cook was furious when he saw it, but he was helpless:
"Kunpeng 702 was released and Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra was launched. I expected that the fourth generation iPad would lose, but I didn't expect it would lose so miserably!"
"It's so miserable!"
"It's terrible!"
"Don't talk about the difference in sales volume, just look at these customers."
"There are not many people in our Apple store. In the Xingyi flagship store, customers queue up in a long line. The gap is too big. Many people who were planning to buy iPads were led to the Xingyi flagship store to buy
Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra.”
The director of the marketing department was also filled with emotion: "What's even more outrageous is that many customers in our store did not come to buy the fourth generation iPad, but bought the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra from the store next door and came with the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra.
In our store, compare it with our iPad 4th generation!"
"!!!" The corner of Cook's mouth twitched: "Can you still play like this?"
"That's it, they are so shameless."
For a time, the mentality of the vice president and Cook collapsed.
Killing people can only be done with a nod of the head.
It’s fine if you don’t buy it, but you can come to our store with the products you bought from other manufacturers for a comparison. Finally, I would like to say that the fourth generation iPad is really rubbish. In terms of configuration, lens, performance, etc., it is not as good as the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!
You are simply not a human being!
It is because of these words that many users who originally planned to buy an iPad began to hesitate.
Many of them went directly to the Xingyi flagship store opposite and bought the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!
Cook didn’t even know what to say.
The vice president couldn't help but said: "Chairman, how should we deal with it? Should we immediately develop the next generation iPad fifth generation?"
Cook sighed: "The fifth generation of iPad is of little significance. All the technologies we have reserved have been used on the fourth generation. As for the fifth generation, let's talk about it in a few years. But the second generation of iPad mini can be developed."
In the previous life, after the fourth generation of iPad was released, it was not until five years later that the fifth generation of iPad was released.
The vice president nodded: "The second generation of iPad mini needs to be developed, but the fifth generation of iPad is not available. We can't do it with Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra."
Cook thought for a while: "You are right. In this way, a new iPad must be developed, but it cannot be called iPad fifth generation. It should be changed to iPad Air, with higher configuration and higher price. It should be made high-end!"
"Use ipad air to defeat Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!"
"Okay!" the vice president responded, there was no other way.
More importantly, the new iPhone and iPad will not be released until next fall.
I'm afraid that at that time, Xingyi Technology will also launch more powerful new products.
We are not afraid of our friends and businessmen taking the lead, but we are afraid of our friends and businessmen taking the lead from generation to generation, leading by a long distance, and leading in a circle.
For example, the iPhone 5, which was released just three months ago, was not only beaten by the Xphone 2 of the same period, but also by the previous generation Xphone 1pro Kunpeng version. It was beaten in a circle.
"Well, I hope our stock price will fall less." The vice president sighed.
Cook was furious: "Shut up, you crow's mouth!"
He has been enduring it all day today.
The vice president is a crow's mouth, and there is no error in whatever he says.
As a result, the iPhone and iPad were being blocked one after another throughout the day.
Now let’s talk about stock price…
Could it be that the stock price will also...
Cook was a little worried and couldn't help but open the U.S. stock market, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat:
"Fake, I'm sorry to say that you've really fallen, down 15%!"
"Still falling, falling endlessly!"
"Farke, Farke!"
Regarding this, Wang Yi was in a good mood.
A month ago, after Apple released the fourth generation iPad and the extremely powerful A6X, Wang Yi shorted Apple!
At that time, the iPad had just been released, and the performance of A6X was unmatched. The GPU performance was said to be four or five times that of Nvidia Tegra 3...
This has caused Apple's stock price to soar, and investors are optimistic that Apple can make a comeback with the fourth generation iPad and A6X.
Only Wang Yi was not optimistic, arranged a team, secretly shorted, and cashed out at a high position.
Today, Apple's stock price has plummeted, and the harvest time is almost here!
Chapter completed!
