"Fake, what kind of magical opponent did our Qualcomm encounter?"
"The R&D and design of 40-nanometer chips + chip mass production, and it also owns two wafer fabs to fully realize self-research and production of chips. Xingyi Technology is going to heaven!"
After Jacob finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent.
Yes, Xingyi Technology is too powerful, terrifyingly powerful!
Qualcomm can only design chips, but Xingyi Semiconductor designs chips + produces chips!
Two fabs were built quietly!
There is simply no way to explain it.
What was once a big customer has turned into the strongest rival!
All Qualcomm executives and directors were completely confused.
After a long time, Jacob sighed: "Xingyi Technology is too powerful and too terrifying. They must not be allowed to develop like this!"
"Yes, we must take measures to contain it. Otherwise, if Xingyi Semiconductor develops and produces its own products, what will happen to us, Qualcomm?"
Other senior executives even spoke out one after another and made suggestions:
"Since chip design and chip mass production cannot contain Xingyi Technology, what about packaging and testing?"
"Yes, sealing and testing is okay, right? As long as the sealing and testing is contained, the chips produced by Xingyi Wafer Factory will not be usable!"
But then, someone else shook his head:
"It's even worse for packaging and testing. There are too many packaging and testing companies at the moment. Even if we persuade ASE to refuse to provide packaging and testing for Xingyi Semiconductor, other packaging and testing giants will not refuse!"
"More importantly, Xingyi Technology has acquired ASE's Magic City packaging and testing factory. It has a high probability of mastering the 40-nanometer packaging and testing capabilities. It can completely seal and test it by itself, and there is no way to contain it."
"???"
"!!!"
For a moment, the entire conference room was once again in a circle.
Even Qualcomm Chairman Jacobs looked shocked:
"In addition to chip R&D and design, chip production, they have also handled chip packaging and testing? Are you sure?"
"Confirmed, according to the information from ASE, Xingyi Technology has mastered the 40nm packaging and testing technology!"
Everyone was silent collectively: "..."
The man continued: "I said it was done accidentally..."
"!!!"
"Fake!"
"Damn it!"
"hateful!"
"Oh, God! What kind of magical opponent is this?"
For a moment, the whole room was in chaos, and everything was said.
Now, everyone couldn't bear it any longer.
"Fake, Xingyi Technology is cheating!"
"Unscientific, so unscientific!"
Only Jacob had a gloomy face and said nothing, but his face was extremely pale.
It wasn't until a long time ago that Jacob sighed: "Chip design, chip mass production, chip packaging and testing! Xingyi Technology has mastered it all!"
"What kind of magical opponent have we encountered?"
"It's terrible!"
However, someone else said: "Not only that, Xingyi Technology also has the top four selling Xingyi mobile phones in the world, and the number one selling Xingyi tablet in the world!"
"???"
"!!!"
Everyone was shocked again.
The corners of Jacob's mouth twitched: "The sales volume of Xingyi mobile phones has ranked among the top four in the world? Is it so scary?"
The executive nodded: "Yes, the sales volume of Xingyi mobile phones is second only to Samsung in first place, Nokia in second place, and Apple in third place!"
Jacob frowned: "Isn't it right? Isn't Xingyi mobile phone only sold in Xia Country? How come there is such a high sales volume?"
The vice president who had been silent sighed: "They now have three hot-selling mobile phones, xphone 1, xphone 1pro, and xphone 2, ranging from two or three thousand to five or six thousand, and each model is a hit. Add up the three models,
The total sales volume in Xia Kingdom exceeds 100 million units. This does not include parallel import sales smuggled overseas."
"If all parallel import sales are included, which is in the tens of millions, then the sales volume of Xingyi mobile phone may exceed that of iPhone and become the third in the world!"
"This..." Jacob was silent: "How can a country like Xia have such a big market?"
Currently, Samsung's annual sales of mobile phones exceed 300 million, and Nokia's annual sales are also around 300 million.
But the premise is that their sales are global sales and they are sold globally.
Xingyi mobile phones are mainly sold in Xiaguo. Overseas, they are parallel imports worth tens of millions at most.
It stands to reason that it cannot sell hundreds of millions of units!
The vice president looked complicated: "Xia is only one country, but it has one-fifth of the world's population, and its spending power is not bad. In Xia, rich people will buy xphone 1pro and xphone 2, and those who have no money will buy two or three.
Qian’s xphone 1!”
"In the past year, we have sold more than 50 million dual-core chips to Xingyi Technology. There are also 50 million APQ 8064 chips. Plus Nvidia Tegra 3 chips, including parallel imports, the actual sales of Xingyi mobile phones are afraid
It’s as high as 140 million!”
"140 million! This sales volume is probably more than Apple! Apple's current sales volume is only about 130 million."
"It's really better than the iPhone, but how is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible. There is only one iPhone model every year. Xingyi Mobile launched three models in a year, beating the iPhone one after another!"
"Yes, a single model of iPhone can sell nearly 100 million units, but the Xingyi mobile phone is only sold in Xiaguo, and a single model can only sell 40 to 50 million units, but don't forget, they have three models a year!"
"A single model is not enough, so we have to make up the quantity. With Xingyi Technology's R&D speed and new product speed, Samsung is tired and HTC is desperate!"
Jacob was startled: "So, Xingyi Technology is too powerful. From chip R&D and design, to chip mass production, to chip packaging and testing, to commercial use of mobile phones and tablets, it has sold over 100 million yuan... It has been directly realized
An all-round closed loop!”
Regarding Xingyi Technology, Jacob didn't know what to say for a while.
At first, I just thought that Xingyi Technology was just a small Xiaguo brand, but in the blink of an eye it destroyed the iPhone!
I thought I was just assembling mobile phones, but in the blink of an eye I developed the Pterosaur 3000 baseband, Kunpeng 702, and Kunpeng 700 SOC!
I thought it was just a chip design company, but in the blink of an eye it established a wafer factory and quietly developed and produced 40 chips!
I thought it was just a wafer factory, but in the blink of an eye, it developed packaging and testing technology, acquired the ASE Magic City packaging and testing factory, and realized a one-stop closed-loop industrial chain of chip design, chip production, and chip packaging and testing!
Farke!
There is no justice!
It’s really unreasonable!
Jacob was so angry that he was about to collapse.
The vice president sighed: "Xingyi Technology is too powerful and the entire industry chain is closed. It would be extremely difficult for us to take action against them!"
"Yes, I suggest we cooperate." Du Jieima, a senior executive in the marketing department, couldn't help but say.
In an instant, everyone fell silent and looked at Dujie Imma with interest.
Although no one said anything, the meaning was obvious.
Such a powerful enemy is also a customer. If we can cooperate, it is better not to become an enemy.
"What kind of cooperation?" Jacob asked.
If Xingyi Technology is easy to control, he doesn't care, he will just find a way to strangle Xingyi Technology in the cradle.
But unfortunately, Xingyi Technology is now full-fledged and has a closed-loop industrial chain, which is no longer something Qualcomm can easily control.
Unless the US imperialist machine is used.
But this kind of machine involves so many areas that it will not be used casually unless it involves the strategic interests of US imperialism.
Not even Qualcomm has this ability.
More importantly, we can't completely break up with Xia Guo at the moment, we still have to cooperate.
Therefore, even if Qualcomm goes to lobby, it will be of little significance.
Since we can't contain it, we might as well take the opportunity to cooperate.
If you can't beat them, just join, don't be shabby.
Du Jie Yima said: "Now Xingyi Technology only masters the R&D and design of 40-nanometer chips, but not the R&D and design of 28-nanometer chips. This is our opportunity."
"What if Xingyi Semiconductor has started developing 28nm chips?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Du Jieima is not worried: "28-nanometer chips are not that easy to develop. Xingyi Semiconductor has only recently completed the 40-nanometer Kunpeng 702 and Kunpeng 700. It wants to produce the next generation of 28-nanometer Kunpeng flagship chips. At least
It will take a year, that is, next October."
"Our Snapdragon 800 will be released in January next year and will be available in April. Compared with APQ 8064, it will be improved by more than 40%, completely beating Kunpeng 702! By then, Xingyi Technology's 28nm flagship will still be half a year later.
, Xingyi Mobile can’t wait at all and can only continue to purchase our Snapdragon 800!”
"As long as we maintain our cooperation, in half a year, based on the current sales of Xingyi mobile phones, our Snapdragon 800 will be able to sell at least 60 million more units, or even 70 million units!"
After hearing this, everyone fell into silence and began to calculate the gains and losses.
Du Jieima continued: "The current situation is like this. If we break up with Xingyi Technology and completely break up with Xingyi Technology, Xingyi Mobile Phone's new flagship next year would rather purchase Nvidia Tegra 4 than our Snapdragon 800. But it remains
Through cooperation, we can sell an additional 60 million to 70 million Snapdragon 800 chips to Xingyi Technology!"
Jacob nodded: "You are right, breaking up with Xingyi Technology is equivalent to pushing Xingyi Technology into the hands of NVIDIA. By then, the big order of 70 million chips will fall on NVIDIA!"
"I seriously suspect that this guy Lao Huang is just waiting for us to break up with Xingyi Technology so that they can sell Nvidia Tegra 4!"
Other senior executives also said: "Yes, I am so worried too."
"Lao Huang has been eyeing Xingyi Technology's orders for a long time. We can't be fooled."
"Not only can we not break up with Xingyi Technology, but we must maintain good cooperation and give the first launch of Snapdragon 800 to Xingyi Technology. We must not let Lao Huang succeed!"
Jacob nodded: "Okay, let's do it like this. Speed ​​up the research and development and testing of Snapdragon 800, strive to release it at CES in January next year, and put it into production in April. As for Xingyi Technology, maintain a good relationship. After all, their xphone 1
We and Xingyi Tablet X1 are still using our dual-core chips and have not replaced Kunpeng, so the cooperative relationship cannot be severed."
With a huge order of 70 million chips, Qualcomm doesn’t want to give up.
But what they don't know is that Xingyi Technology's self-developed 28-nanometer chip has already started and is progressing rapidly.
Wang Yi didn't bother to pay attention to these ideas of Qualcomm.
He only prepares for the worst outcome.
Therefore, from the beginning, we laid out chip research and development, chip mass production, and current chip packaging and testing technology.
It focuses on a closed loop of the entire industry chain, so that even the other party cannot block it.
Unless you buy a photolithography machine.
But once the other party does this, Xia Guo also has countermeasures.
One move to restrict the export of gallium and germanium is enough to cause pain to the other side.
Gallium and germanium are indispensable rare metal materials in the fields of semiconductors, military, communication equipment and new energy.
85% of the world's gallium and 60% of its germanium are produced in Xia.
Once Xia State controls exports, the whole world will panic.
Perhaps European and American giants can also buy small amounts of gallium and germanium from other places, but the cost will be several times higher.
And as time goes by, the cost becomes higher and higher.
If the cost is high, the cost of chips will skyrocket, and the competitiveness of Western semiconductor giants will drop significantly.
For example, after the restrictions, the cost of Qualcomm chips doubled. Now a set of APQ 8064 chip + baseband costing RMB 250 will have to be sold for RMB 500.
However, Xingyi Semiconductor's Kunpeng 702 SOC is not affected by the price increase of gallium and germanium. The cost remains unchanged and it still sells for 250. So who would spend twice the price to buy Qualcomm?
If this continues, they will be useless within a few years.
More importantly, this is just a microcosm.
Once comprehensive restrictions are imposed, many foreign semiconductor companies will be unable to withstand rising costs and market decline, and will have to go bankrupt one after another.
It is precisely for this reason that since the restrictions were imposed in the previous life, domestic chips have continued to increase their market share despite falling behind in technology.
The market share of overseas chip companies continues to decrease.
If domestic chip technology catches up again and another wave of sanctions is imposed on gallium and germanium, foreign companies will really have nothing to worry about.
You cut off my lithography machine,
I can’t even buy the raw materials for you!
What Wang Yi wants to do is to make Xingyi Semiconductor continue to grow and expand.
Became the number one semiconductor giant in Xia Kingdom.
At that time, you will sanction Xingyi Semiconductor,
Then we will also control gallium and germanium equally.
If Xingyi Semiconductor does not develop rapidly and become bigger, it is just a small business and may not have the capital.
In the afternoon, Wang Yi came to the mobile phone chip department.
George is leading the team to develop the Kunpeng 901 and Kunpeng 902 SOCs.
"Chairman, you are here." George put down his work and came over.
It can be seen that the great victory of Kunpeng 702 and Kunpeng 700 has brought a lot of pressure to him.
The previous generation was so successful. If Kunpeng 902 stretches the crotch, that would be unreasonable.
More importantly, Kunpeng 902 is the first flagship chip that George is independently responsible for, which is of great significance to George.
Once he fails, it will have a lifelong impact, and even his semiconductor career will die prematurely.
No company will pay attention to a failed R&D manager again.
After all, huge amounts of money and time are invested in chip research and development, and there is no room for failure.
"How is the progress of Kunpeng 902?" Wang Yi asked.
"Chairman, the CPU is progressing relatively smoothly. After all, it is not developed from scratch, but is modified and upgraded on the Kunpeng 702 to make a 6-core A53. The main frequency is mentioned as 2G. It is not difficult. It is now completed and the tests are no problem.
."
"As for the GPU, although the Mali-T658 mp4 has been replaced, it is also an ARM public version architecture, so it is not difficult. It is expected that the integration will be completed before the end of next month. By then, the Kunpeng 901 will be ready. It will be tested in January and there will be no problems. The flow can be arranged.
piece."
Wang Yi is very satisfied with this progress.
If you develop a self-developed GPU architecture, it doesn’t matter whether the performance is strong or not, but it will definitely be very time-consuming.
Now Xingyi Semiconductor is catching up with Qualcomm. The most lacking thing is time. Naturally, it is faster to use the public version directly.
If we develop our own GPU architecture, it will really have to be launched in September next year. Even if it is developed by then, it will be too late.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 will be released in September next year, which is two generations behind.
On the contrary, the public version architecture is better.
And the public version is not necessarily garbage. As long as the optimization is in place and don't be greedy, the public version is also very powerful.
"How is the progress of 4G baseband?" Wang Yi asked.
"Director Pang's 4G baseband is also progressing smoothly and is expected to be completed before the end of December."
George eloquently said: "In this way, in January, we can start integrating the baseband and build Kunpeng 902 SOC!"
"The integration and testing will be completed in February. If everything goes well, it will be tape-out in early March."
Wang Yi nodded: "Very good, come on, I believe in your strength!"
According to this rhythm, if it is a one-time success, it will be able to go into mass production by the end of March, and the new machine will be launched by the end of April!
As a result, although it is taped out three months later than Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, it can be launched at about the same time.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 was released in January, but mass production, procurement by major brands, and adaptation will take time.
Therefore, the first launch of mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 800 will not be until April, or even May, or June, and the large-scale launch will not be until the second half of the year.
The advantage of Xingyi Technology is its own chips, which provide a more thorough understanding of various parameters.
Adaptation can start directly after the tape-out in early March, and the R&D team will fully support the tuning and adaptation.
Therefore, the new phone will be launched at the end of April!
Such high efficiency is far unmatched by other brands.
After all, other brands have to wait for Qualcomm to mass-produce and get the mass-produced chips before they can start adapting, and it is also difficult to adapt.
In this way, even if Kunpeng 902 SOC is tape-out later, it can be launched at about the same time, which is a huge advantage.
"Very good, Kunpeng 902 SOC will be developed as soon as possible. As long as you succeed, we won't need to purchase any of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 chips."
Wang Yi said earnestly: "But if you fail, then the xphone 2pro will have to purchase Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800!"
"Don't worry, Chairman, we will definitely succeed!" George said with confidence.
This is the first flagship chip that he is independently responsible for. He only allows success and does not allow failure.
Then Wang Yi went to the 4G baseband department for a tour, and the progress was equally smooth.
With the foundation of 3G baseband, Pang Liguo was very comfortable in making 4G baseband.
Their team was responsible for baseband research and development when they were at VMware.
It's not that they are weak, it's that HTC is reluctant to invest money.
If you want a horse to run without letting it eat enough, how can you do that?
Shine for love?
As a result, outstanding talents from the entire team continued to leave, leaving only Pang Liguo and other veterans struggling to support themselves, making it difficult to achieve anything.
Later, it was recruited by Wang Yi, who invested huge sums of money and fully supported it.
Not only did Pang Liguo and others go all out, many of the talents who had left before came to the Imperial Capital and joined the baseband department.
Coupled with the newly recruited industry experts and talents, there are more and more talents in the baseband department. Not only has the 3G baseband been successfully completed, but also the 4G baseband has made rapid progress.
If this momentum continues, Kunpeng 901 without integrated baseband can be scheduled for tape-out by the end of January.
Integrated baseband is estimated to be available in March.
Coupled with its own chip and integrated baseband, it is easy to adapt. It can be launched first, first come first, and it will be launched simultaneously with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 mobile phones!
By then, Xingyi Semiconductor will really stand up.
Compared with the current Kunpeng 702 SOC and Qualcomm APQ 8064, it is a 50-50 split, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Kunpeng 702 SOC integrates 3G baseband, but uses a 40nm process.
Qualcomm APQ 8064 28nm process is stronger, but it does not have an integrated baseband, and its performance is 10% behind Kunpeng 702.
Generally speaking, both sides have their own advantages. Kunpeng 702 is half a year late and has an even greater advantage.
But the next generation, Kunpeng 902 SOC, 28nm process, integrated 4G baseband, has powerful performance!
Even compared to Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon 800, it has no shortcomings and even completely crushes it.
After all, the 6-core A53 can theoretically crush the 4-core A15 of the Snapdragon 800.
As for the GPU, the Mali-T658 MP4 crushes the Snapdragon 800 and 801's Adreno 330 without any pressure.
The key depends on the strength of George's team and whether they can turn the theory into reality!
Later, Wang Yi went to the PC chip department next door.
Williams, a veteran, retired after the successful development of Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 702, entered the PC chip department, formed a team, and started CPU research and development.
In the future, PC will also be an indispensable layout for Xingyi Technology.
After this period of development, as well as Williams's appeal, many professional talents were recruited.
Now Xingyi PC chip department also has many troops and is gradually improving.
Especially those who were working on PCs at Texas Instruments. Because Texas Instruments shifted its focus and marginalized the PC business, their career development was also affected and they left one after another.
Nowadays, Xingyi Technology is laying out the PC, and with the endorsement of Williams, those former PC veterans of Texas Instruments have also been persuaded to join one after another.
After all, I am already over 40 years old. If I don’t seize the opportunity and make some achievements, this will be the end of my life.
Especially after seeing the success of Kunpeng 702 SOC, crushing Qualcomm APQ 8064, and Williams becoming a god in one battle, others can't sit still.
I also want to join the Xingyi PC department to make a powerful CPU to compete with Intel and AMD.
Even if it cannot be completely surpassed, as long as it can catch up with the previous generation, it is powerful enough.
Next year, Intel will release the fourth generation i3, i5, and i7.
They can produce a product with performance comparable to the third generation i7, which is powerful enough.
As a pursuer, if we can shorten the generation gap to less than two generations, we will be considered very successful.
Williams introduced several old friends to Wang Yi, then frowned:
"Chairman, if we want to develop Xingyi PC, we must support Windows systems, which means our CPU must be an X86 architecture! But unfortunately, X86 is a closed architecture, monopolized by Intel and AMD, and will not be authorized to external parties."
According to Wang Yi's PC layout, he does not plan to take the single win route, but a dual system version.
It not only supports Windows, but also integrates the self-developed XOS system.
There is no way, if it is not compatible with Windows, it will be difficult to promote Xingyi Computer Xingyi notebook.
Even if it is an Apple notebook, most users will directly install Windows dual system when they buy it back. Otherwise, many software cannot be used at all, and many games cannot be played at all.
In the PC field, Windows is still the absolute dominant player.
If you want to completely replace Windows, it can only be said to be extremely difficult. Even a Mac ten years from now will not be able to do it.
If Wang Yi wanted to build his own system, he had to start by being compatible with Windows.
Later, when the XOS system grows stronger and the ecosystem matures, there is hope that it will completely replace it, or allow users to choose on their own.
Therefore, the CPU of Xingyi PC must also adopt the X86 instruction set and adopt Windows and XOS dual systems in the early stage.
Otherwise, there will be problems at the beginning.
Even the current Macs are all based on X86 architecture and are compatible with Windows.
It was not until after 2020 that Apple launched the ARM architecture CPU M1 for MAC.
In the long run, Wang Yi is not very optimistic about X86 and Intel.
If X86 is powerful enough, Intel will not be nearly acquired by Qualcomm in more than ten years.
Qualcomm almost acquired Intel, which shows that X86 is at the end of the road.
Of course, in the end, it will be equally difficult for Qualcomm to successfully acquire Intel.
At the very least, you won’t be able to get past antitrust.
A merger of this level must be approved by Xia State, the United States, and the European Union. If one party refuses, it will fail.
From Xia Guo's standpoint, this merger agreement will be blocked due to anti-monopoly requirements.
After all, if Intel is not acquired, they are still two semiconductor giants, and they still have a competitive relationship. If Qualcomm wants to make PC chips, it will have to compete head-on with Intel.
But if it is acquired, then Qualcomm will be the dominant company, first in mobile chips and first in PC chips, then it will be over!
It’s hard for other companies to compete.
Therefore, 90% of Xia Guo would not agree to this acquisition and voted no directly.
However, both ARM and X86 instruction sets are Western.
Even if Wang Yi buys a permanent license, it is only a permanent license for one version.
For example, ARM's V8 architecture, which Wang Yi bought a permanent license for, was very advanced at the moment, but nine years later, when the V9 architecture was released, V8 became obsolete.
If we don’t sell Wang Yi’s V9 architecture license by then, Xingyi Technology won’t be able to use it.
There is also the X86 instruction set, which is controlled by Intel and AMD. The two companies are cross-licensed and rarely authorized externally.
After all, once authorized, there will be a powerful opponent.
The simplest thing is that once Qualcomm and Nvidia obtain the X86 license and are fully capable of making X86-based computer CPUs, Intel and AMD will be severely hit.
After all, NVIDIA graphics cards are doing very well, and making CPUs is an even bigger blow to dimensionality reduction.
But unfortunately, Intel is not stupid, and AMD is not stupid either, so they will not authorize it.
This has caused the current PC CPU of Xingyi Technology to run into trouble.
How to develop without X86 authorization?
Williams sighed: "X86 will not be licensed to external parties. If we can't get it, we can only make ARM-based computer CPUs. Then the development of Xingyi Computer will be greatly affected."
ARM is a simple instruction set. Its advantage is low power consumption, but its performance is average, so it is suitable for mobile terminals.
x86, on the other hand, has a complex instruction set, high power consumption, powerful performance, and is widely used in PCs and servers.
As for RISC, it is free and open source, highly scalable, and suitable for fields such as the Internet of Things, but stability, security, ecosystem, etc. are all problems.
To put it bluntly, RISC is very immature. It can be used for small projects, but if it is really used to make mobile phone chips and computer CPUs, it will be useless.
Seeing Williams' anxious look, Wang Yi smiled faintly: "William, don't worry, I will take care of the X86 authorization matter!"
"Can it be solved?" Williams was a little surprised: "Intel will not authorize it."
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "They don't authorize others. Someone will. Wait for my news."
With that said, Wang Yi turned around and walked to the side, dialing the number of HTC Chairman Wang Hong:
"Shopkeeper Wang, how are you doing lately?"
"No, you guys took away all the orders. I'm not good at all!" Shopkeeper Wang said angrily.
When there was no Xingyi mobile phone, Apple and Samsung were eating the meat, and HTC was still chewing the bones.
Since the launch of the Xingyi mobile phone, Apple and Samsung have had enough to eat. Especially in the Xiaguo market, Apple and Samsung have begun to chew their bones. As for HTC, they really can’t even drink the soup.
In overseas markets, HTC was sued to ban sales.
In the domestic market, you can’t even drink the soup!
Shopkeeper Wang has been very popular recently, very popular.
Wang Yi smiled awkwardly: "Ahem, didn't you go to Asan Kingdom to develop?"
"Hmph! Fortunately, there is Asanguo Market, otherwise we would really be doomed." Shopkeeper Wang snorted coldly.
Wang Yi didn't know what to say: "..."
It can’t be said that the Asan Kingdom market is also very...complex, right?
He could only say: "I believe that with HTC's brand influence, it will definitely be able to show its talents in Asan Country!"
"That's for sure. As long as your Xingyi mobile phone doesn't go to Asan Country, our HTC will be invincible. They don't have any patent lawsuits. It's simply HTC's paradise." Shopkeeper Wang was very proud.
"Hahaha, it is indeed heaven."
Wang Yi said meaningfully: "Don't worry, we will not open it for sale in Asan Kingdom."
"What about parallel imports?"
"Parallel imports? Are there parallel imports on our Xingyi mobile phone?" Wang Yi started to pretend to be stupid.
"..." Wang Hong is autistic, this guy is really enough.
The combined monthly sales volume of your three Xingyi mobile phones in Asan Country is nearly 10 million. Are you telling me that there are no parallel imports?
Wang Yi said seriously: "Our products are all sold domestically. As for how to get to Asan Kingdom, I don't know. It is probably the same as HTC's mobile phones, which were smuggled overseas by traders, right?"
Wang Hong was speechless for a moment: "..."
Wang Yi is ordering her!
HTC is now banned from sale in many European and American countries, but Wang Hong is not willing to accept it.
Decisively arrange for dealers to dump the goods, dump them on traders, and smuggle them overseas.
If it is sold to the public, you will sue, fine and ban the sale.
Can’t we sue parallel importers?
Besides, all major brands have parallel imports. If you really want to check, check Apple first!
iPhone has the most parallel imports!
"Stop talking about this, what do you want from me?" Wang Hong changed the subject, knowing that Wang Yi would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
This guy wouldn't even send her a text message if nothing happened.
"That's it. We plan to acquire VIA, but I wonder if Shopkeeper Wang will part with us?" Wang Yi said his plan.
"Acquire VIA?" Shopkeeper Wang was very keen: "You previously acquired VIA's sub-brand VIA, saying it was for baseband production, but you didn't like the 55nm baseband technology. In fact, it was for CDMA licensing!"
"The current acquisition of VIA is not because of VIA's outdated PC chip technology, but for the licensing of X86, right?"
In 1999, VIA Electronics acquired the microprocessor division of Cyrix Corporation of America.
Cyrix owns x86 processor technology and has a permanent license.
Through this acquisition, VIA Electronics also obtained Cyrix’s x86 processor technology and related patents, team and other intellectual property rights.
Subsequently, VIA used this opportunity to launch a self-developed CPU to compete with Intel, but due to lack of strength, VIA has basically given up completely.
"Shopkeeper Wang has a keen eye, and it's time for a showdown. I can't stand Intel and AMD's monopoly on the CPU market, and I'm going to develop my own PC CPU. Let's make an offer!" Wang Yi directly showed off his cards.
VIA doesn't make any CPU anymore, so there's no point in keeping the X86, just to sell it at a good price!
Chapter completed!
