"By September, it will have been a year and a half since the first generation of Xingyi Tablet was launched, and it's time to exit the market," Wang Yi said.
In September, the second generation of Xingyi Tablet was launched. The three models of the first generation of Xingyi Tablet ran out of raw materials and stopped production.
In the future, if our own tablet production capacity is sufficient, BYD will no longer need to continue manufacturing.
Xingyi Tablet 2 still has an 8-inch small screen and an upgraded Kunpeng 702 processor.
The Xingyi Tablet 2 pro still has a 10.9-inch large screen, upgraded Kunpeng 902C processor and fingerprint unlocking!
Kunpeng 902C is the Kunpeng 902 SOC with the baseband and other modules removed, which is the original Kunpeng 901, specially used for TVs and tablets.
The previous internal naming of Kunpeng 901 would make consumers mistakenly think that it is one generation behind Kunpeng 902, so Wang Yi changed it to Kunpeng 902C.
From now on, those with C will have the baseband removed and will be specially used for tablet and TV chips.
As soon as Xingyi 2nd generation was released, Xingyi tablet 1st generation and Xingyi tablet 1pro, which have been on the market for more than a year, were all discontinued.
Even the Xingyi tablet 1 ultra equipped with Kunpeng 702 has no meaning of existence anymore.
After all, the performance of Kunpeng 902C is 30% more powerful than Kunpeng 702 SOC, but the cost is similar, or even lower.
Without him, Kunpeng 901 is a dedicated processor for tablets and TVs. It does not integrate baseband and other modules that are not used by tablets or TVs, so the cost is naturally much lower.
Even if it is a 28nm process, the cost is similar to Kunpeng 702, or even lower.
When globalization continues, the Xingyi Tablet 2 pro 4G version will also be launched, equipped with Kunpeng 902 SOC and supporting 4G network and calls.
4G functions are very popular overseas.
Yes, many foreigners use tablets to access 4G and even make phone calls.
Similarly, some domestic users also have this demand.
According to Wang Yi's plan, the first generation of Xingyi Tablet will be produced for another three months. Taking advantage of the 618 big promotion and the start of school, we will sell it quickly to clear the inventory, and it will stop production to make way for the second generation!
The second phase of Xingyi Tablet J2 Super Factory can also be delivered in July, with an annual production capacity of 35 million.
By then, the annual production capacity of its own tablets will be as high as 90 million, and the monthly production capacity will be as high as 7.5 million, which will be enough for full self-production in the future.
Tablets are not mobile phones, and less than 100 million units will be sold worldwide every year.
The 2nd generation of Xingyi Tablet alone is enough to sell, there is no need to continue selling the first generation.
On the contrary, selling 90 million units is not bad, or even difficult.
But it’s okay. If there is excess production capacity, new product lines can be launched.
For example, electronic paper books.
For example, smart home central control screen.
There is also iFlytek’s learning machine, which can be adjusted in the future.
The sales volume of these products is not high, but they can just absorb the excess tablet production capacity of Xingyi tablet factory.
Wang Yi had already planned all of this.
Thinking of this, Wang Yi looked at Zhu Changlin: "Lao Zhu, form a team and develop an electronic paper book. Our Meiyou novels are getting bigger and bigger, so we should also get a Xingyi electronic paper book and link it with Meiyou novels.
."
"This is good." Zhu Changlin suddenly understood what Wang Yi meant: "Even if the tablet production capacity is saturated, it can be used to produce Xingyi electronic paper books!"
Wang Yi nodded: "There is also iFlytek's AI learning machine. You can also arrange for someone to contact us. We will make the hardware and they will make the software for joint development!"
"Yes!" Zhu Changlin responded: "Chairman, I am still worried that if the market for e-books and learning machines is also saturated in the future, the production capacity of our tablet factory will still overflow."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's not a problem. Don't forget, we will still have Xingyi Automobile in the future. As a new energy vehicle, intelligence is a must. If the tablet production capacity cannot be used, we can produce central control screens!"
The initial central control screens were all small screens. Aren’t the later mid-control screens all the size of tablets?
"This is a good arrangement!" Zhu Changlin said with joy.
I admire Wang Yi's comprehensive utilization of production capacity even more, it is simply amazing.
On the 25th, the two came to the Xingyi Cloud Data Center again.
Today, the second phase of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center was delivered, with 4,000 cabinets and the capacity to deploy 50,000 servers.
After Xingyi Technology’s optimization plan, 60,000 units can actually be deployed!
That's it for the first issue.
The first phase of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center also covers an area of ​​50 acres and has 4,000 cabinets. It was also planned to deploy 50,000 servers, but 60,000 servers were deployed.
The same is true for the second phase. All added up, there are 120,000 servers!
In 2013, there were 120,000 servers, which was already the first echelon in China.
If nothing else, BAT’s Baidu is at this level.
Alibaba currently has less than 120,000 servers.
Xingyi Technology's server scale ranks among the best in the world.
However, this is just the beginning.
Jeju has great ambitions. It also donated another 100 acres of land near the first and second phases of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center for the third and fourth phases of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center.
However, the third and fourth phases only provide preferential policies for land, taxation and electricity, and will not provide the same infrastructure as the first and second phases.
From Jeju's point of view, the 100,000-level Phase I and Phase II are already top-notch in the country. Even Xingyi Technology will not invest in the construction of Phase III or Phase IV in the short term.
In addition, Director Hong is about to leave, so construction on the third and fourth phases has not started.
Wang Yi plans to see what happens next.
After the delivery ceremony, other leaders were sent away, but Director Hong stayed:
"Director Wang, let's talk."
"Director Hong, please, we have prepared some good tea." Wang Yixiao said.
Throughout Jeju, Wang Yi has now become the first choice for support from various big shots.
But in Wang Yi's heart, Director Hong still ranks first.
Without him, the icing on the cake will never be as good as providing help in times of need.
Director Hong strongly supported Wang Yizhi when he started his business, and even risked his political future to endorse Wang Yi. This led to the fully completed Meiyou Technology Park, the Unbounded Technology Park under construction, and the Xingyi skyscraper to be built.
And the largest single cloud data center in Asia has been built - Xingyi Cloud Data Center with 120,000 servers!
There are also Xingyi mobile phone J1, J2 super factory, Xingyi tablet J1, J2 factory, and Meiyou clothing factory...
Jeju has invested a lot of money in each of these projects and provided a lot of policy support.
Although many projects of Xingyi Technology and Meiyou Technology have brought excess returns to Jeju, at the beginning, when Xingyi Technology just started, these projects were suspected of exceeding the standards.
In other words, it shouldn’t have such high specifications and such great support!
It was Director Hong who risked his political future and vouched for Wang Yi, which led to this series of exceptional support.
Wang Yi keeps all this in mind.
Fortunately, Wang Yi did not disappoint Director Hong.
He won the bet!
Meiyou Technology has become the largest taxpayer in Jeju.
Xingyi Technology Jeju Branch has also become the high-tech gathering center of Jeju.
More and more core businesses are moving from the imperial capital to Jeju, creating a large amount of GDP, high-end employment units, tax revenue for Jeju...
The commissioning of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center has further upgraded Jeju's industry!
In the past, Jeju didn’t have so many high-end projects.
And all of this, Director Hong, who risked his political future to support Xingyi Technology and Meiyu Technology, has certainly made countless merits.
As a result, Director Hong could no longer stay in Jeju.
It’s about to be promoted!
Wang Yi guessed this possibility: "Director Hong, has the transfer order been issued?"
Director Hong sighed: "Yes, I have delivered all three of your big projects this month, and I am relieved. I will be leaving next month."
Wang Yi understood. No wonder the projects originally planned to be delivered in May were all mentioned to be delivered at the end of April.
It turns out that Director Hong is leaving.
In order to prevent accidents, please deliver in advance.
This starts well and ends well.
Wang Yi was a little grateful.
If the delivery cannot be made this month and someone is replaced next month, it might be delayed for a month or two...
It takes time to go through the process.
"Thank you, Director Hong. If it hadn't been delivered in advance, there would have been problems putting it into production." Wang Yi said sincerely.
"It's all what I should do." Director Hong waved his hand: "It's my honor to meet a high-quality entrepreneur like you. I should thank you, Director Wang!"
"Director Hong is serious. Without your strong support and green light all the way, Meiyou Technology and Xingyi Technology would not be able to develop so fast."
"Without the outstanding performance of Xingyi Technology and Meiyou Technology, I wouldn't have been able to rise so quickly."
"Hahaha!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
It can be regarded as mutual achievement!
"Director Hong, where are you going next? Is this allowed to be asked?"
"The transfer order has been issued, and many people know about it. It's nothing." Director Hong said with a smile: "Next month, I will go to the Department of Commerce of your province."
"From the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau to the Provincial Department of Commerce, Director Hong has a bright future. Congratulations!"
"Alas! It's not that good. If you go there, you may not be able to meet an outstanding entrepreneur like you."
Director Hong sighed, a little helpless.
Although it seems to have improved, the challenges are even greater.
Jeju has Wangyi Technology, Xingyi Technology, and Meiyou Technology. You can upgrade with your eyes closed.
But if you go to your province, it will be difficult.
Seeing Director Hong's melancholy, Wang Yi felt that he should also express his feelings: "Director Hong, isn't it just investment? It's easy to say, I have already thought about the project."
"Really?" Director Hong's brows were filled with joy and anticipation.
Wang Yi nodded: "Adapt measures to local conditions."
"Please give me some advice from Director Wang," Director Hong said solemnly.
There are three things a new official should do when he takes office.
After arriving in your province, Director Hong urgently needed to make achievements and gain a firm foothold.
But he was confused and had been worried for half a month, but he still couldn't think of anything...
But I didn't expect that Wang Yi would have an idea. It was like dew after a long drought!
Wang Yi said: "Guizhou is mainly located in mountainous areas. It is hard to say how to develop other economies, but it is suitable for the development of big data!"
"???"
Director Hong was confused: "Is your province relatively backward? Can it be linked to high-end industries such as big data?"
Wang Yi smiled: "In terms of economy, it is not good, but your province has unique resources. Big data resources are better than Jeju."
"The most important thing for a big data center is heat dissipation. In Jeju, the climate is hot, so water cooling is required for heat dissipation. The cost is very high and the waste of resources is serious."
If it weren't for the large subsidies provided by Jeju, Wang Yi wouldn't even consider subsidizing the electricity price to 30 cents.
"Guizhou has a cool climate. The average annual temperature in some cities is only 15.1 degrees. There is no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. Such a suitable temperature is very suitable for establishing a cloud data center. The annual savings in electricity and air-conditioning costs are a huge amount of money.
"
"Compared with the eastern provinces, your province has better network services, more electricity, and more abundant water resources. It is suitable for building a big data center in all aspects!"
"What a good idea!" Director Hong's eyes lit up: "In addition, your province's ecology is fragile and cannot withstand damage. It is difficult to develop heavy industry. In this case, the big data center is the most suitable!"
"Yes, that's it." Wang Yixiao said: "Director Hong, you can use this as an entry point to start attracting investment. Xingyi Technology will invest and build another cloud data center with 100,000 servers in your province!"
By then, the cloud data center in Jeju will radiate to the east and north, and the cloud data center in Guizhou will radiate to the west and south.
Both sides complement each other.
As for the third and fourth phases of the Jeju Cloud Data Center project, they are temporarily shelved.
If you need it later, or if there is better support, please build it again.
Jeju, where all are concentrated, is completely different from having one in the northeast and one in the southwest, which is more reasonable.
"Thank you so much, Director Wang, for helping me a lot!" Director Hong was very excited.
I didn't expect Wang Yi to be so powerful, and I was even more moved.
It is said that people lose their jobs, but in the end, he was transferred to your province, and Wang Yi continued to deliver big projects.
It's really touching.
"Director Hong is serious, this is a win-win situation." Wang Yixiao said: "In addition, you can also make this project bigger and become the first in the country. For example, establish Yunshanggui Province..."
The more Wang Yi said, the more excited Director Hong became.
OK!
That’s awesome!
Nothing wrong with it at all!
The future is bright!
There is no way, compared to Jeju, your province is more suitable for building a cloud data center.
It is precisely for this reason that at the end of 2014 in the previous life, Guizhou Province established Yunshanggui Province and began to vigorously develop cloud data.
Therefore, 2014 is called the first year of big data in Guizhou Province, and subsequent development is even more rapid.
Now that Wang Yi has proposed it one year in advance and asked Director Hong to make arrangements in advance, it is entirely possible to establish Yunshanggui Province by the end of this year.
In this way, deploying one year in advance and developing one year in advance will naturally lead to more prospects.
Director Hong can also share a lot of this political achievement.
It can be said that a win-win situation!
"Director Wang, thank you, thank you so much. We must have a drink. If you agree in advance, I'll take it!" Director Hong insisted.
Wang Yi couldn't refuse and had no choice but to obey.
There was no surprise. This time, Director Hong got drunk.
What better way than to give away performance and investment?
Not at all.
It's against the rules to give other things as gifts, and Director Hong won't even dare to accept them.
But Wang Yi offers projects and investments to achieve a win-win situation, and no one will refuse.
In the following days, Xingyi Cloud Data Center Phase II became busy again.
Various equipment began to arrive and be installed...
This will be the case for the next month.
After the equipment is installed, it will take another month for subsequent commissioning.
In July, these 60,000 servers will be fully put into use.
By then, the scale of Xingyi Cloud data center will reach 120,000 servers.
Song Sining was a little worried about this: "Chairman, with 120,000 servers in July, we will have a large number of vacant servers. What should we do?"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "It's okay. We will continue to increase investment efforts. Some will be rented to other companies and some will be used by users. As the sales of Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi tablets increase, there will be more users."
"In addition, we must actively expand new businesses, such as comprehensive e-commerce next year!"
"Once a comprehensive e-commerce is launched, tens of thousands of servers will be needed, and there will not be so many spares."
Song Sining nodded: "That's true, but it's a pity that comprehensive e-commerce will not be launched until next year. In the second half of this year, there will still be a large number of vacant servers."
"This is a problem." Wang Yi fell into deep thought and then said: "But it can be said that more servers should be given to the cloud computing department and AI department so that they can use all their firepower and actively promote it."
"In addition, we will launch Douyin e-commerce group buying. We will not do comprehensive e-commerce this year. We will do e-commerce group buying first. Is this okay?"
"Similar to Juhuasuan, the name is called Ten Thousand People Group. Select some brands and products to be listed in Douyin Mall, and start a group of ten thousand people at a lower price."
Song Sining instantly understood what Wang Yi meant: "In the second half of the year, we will first use groups of ten thousand people to attract traffic, increase categories, and pave the way for the shift to comprehensive e-commerce next year!"
"Yes, that's it." Wang Yi nodded: "At the same time, we will set up our own purchasing and sales team, order some high-quality products in batches, enter our warehousing center, and then start a group of ten thousand people for sales and shipments.
"
"Okay, I'll make arrangements." Song Sining responded.
Wang Yi changed the topic: "In addition, Hhourida has been fully upgraded, and nearby supermarkets have also fully launched Hhourida. Douyin e-commerce and Ele.me are fully connected. Users, whether they place orders on Douyin, Hhourida or Ele.me,
Orders placed by Ele.me takeaways are shipped from nearby merchants and delivered to your doorstep by Ele.me riders within an hour.”
"Okay, now that there are more servers, we can all go online." Song Sining responded: "Especially Hourly Express, which is deeply loved by users."
For example, for the xphone 2pro that was just released some time ago, after users place an order within an hour, a nearby store will hand over the xphone 2pro to a delivery boy and deliver it to their doorstep within an hour.
Of course, for safety reasons, delivery guys who deliver mobile phones, tablets and other valuable items always carry bags on their backs when delivering goods. The mobile phones and tablets are all placed in the bags, so the backpacks are required to be kept with you!
Takeaway guys delivering other goods also require takeout boxes to be locked.
There is no way. Losing a meal is a small matter, but losing a mobile phone is a big deal.
As long as the backpack stays with you, that's no problem. You can't stop the delivery boy and rob him in front of him, right?
If this is the case, you may not be a match for the delivery boy.
The simplest thing is that with a phone call from the delivery boy, all other nearby riders can quickly come over...
Song Sining said with a smile: "The current hourly delivery is limited to Meiyou stores and Xingyi stores. In the future, it will be fully expanded to all supermarkets. It will undoubtedly be excellent. But how to limit our freight threshold?"
"Let merchants set the freight threshold themselves, and we will subsidize high-quality supermarkets. For example, nearby large supermarkets will have free delivery fees for orders over 29, which will lower the threshold to the lowest level. When users buy something, just pick up some fruits and snacks. That's enough.
"
"Okay. I'll move forward now. In almost two months, the 10,000-person group and hourly service will be fully rolled out. Operations will begin at the end of June. By then, the second phase of the server will be almost put into use. Everything will be just right."
"Yeah." Wang Yi nodded.
Although it is normal for major enterprises to have a surplus of servers, the 60,000 additional servers that will soon be available cannot all be left vacant and must be utilized more.
In the following days, Wang Yi stayed in Jeju.
Busy with the company during the day and Song Sining at night...
I have to say that President Song is becoming more and more feminine now.
Especially the thrill of conquering the flowers of the high mountains is truly wonderful.
So much so that Wang Yi felt a little reluctant to miss Shu.
It was not until May 1st that Kunpeng 902 SOC, Kunpeng 902C, and Wing Loong 4000 4G baseband were all successfully taped out, and Wang Yicai rushed back to the Imperial Capital.
As soon as he returned to the imperial capital, Wang Yi went straight to the Xingyi B1 wafer fab R&D center:
"How's it going? Are the tape-out results out?"
George was a little excited: "The lighting test is not completely over yet, but some parts have been successfully lit. Kunpeng 902 SOC, Kunpeng 902C, Pterosaur 4000, many chips have been successfully lit!"
"Very good, very good!" Wang Yi was in a good mood.
If some parts are successfully lit, it means that the chip has been developed successfully.
The remaining ones have not been tested and are only testing the yield rate of the 28nm process.
"How is the specific performance? Have they been tested?" Wang Yi asked.
The chip is successful, but whether the performance is overturned or not is the essence.
"Chairman, we tested the chips that were successfully taped out as soon as possible."
George said: "Kunpeng 902C has been tested on both tablets and TVs. It has powerful performance and can decode 4K without any problem. Look!"
With that said, George handed over a tablet: "This is our test result. It is similar to the previous verification stage, and it is 30% better than Kunpeng 702."
"The same is true for Kunpeng 902 SOC. There are no problems with performance, power consumption, or 4G calls."
"Kunpeng 902C and 902 SOC are all finished!"
"The Pterosaur 4000 baseband developed by Director Pang is also of first-class quality. Whether it is integrated inside Kunpeng 902 SOC or a separate Pterosaur 4000 baseband, it is first-class. It is no worse than Qualcomm's 4G baseband. It is absolutely
The first echelon.”
"Very good, very good!" Wang Yi beamed with joy: "Congratulations to Director George and Director Pang. This year you and your two teams will receive high year-end bonuses!"
Last year, the Kunpeng 702 team led by Williams won a large year-end bonus, and Williams even directly received a year-end bonus of 2 million.
And this year, Kunpeng 902 has become a great success, and George no longer has to watch helplessly.
Give George at least a year-end bonus of 1.5 million!
"Thank you, Chairman." The two of them were extremely excited.
George asked: "Chairman, now Kunpeng 902 has been successfully taped out. Next, we will wait for the 28nm process to be mass-produced and then start full-scale mass production. So what will our team develop next?"
The next generation chips, Kunpeng 906 and 906C, are being developed by Zhang Chao’s team and will be launched next year.
Team George cannot stay idle forever.
In this regard, Wang Yi has already planned: "There is a new task, and we will develop a 28nm sub-flagship chip, Kunpeng 706 SOC, 706C."
"There is no need to develop it from scratch. The Kunpeng 702 SOC is upgraded to 28 nanometers, the main frequency is raised a little, and it is upgraded to a 4G baseband to make the Kunpeng 706 SOC. At the same time, the Kunpeng 706C with castrated baseband and other modules is launched for use in TVs and tablets."
"This is simple, it can be done in three months!" George was confident and understood what Wang Yi meant.
Kunpeng 702 SOC is very powerful, and coupled with the 60% improvement of the XOS system, it can beat Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 805 in seconds.
But the shortcomings of Kunpeng 702 are also obvious, that is, 40 nanometers and 3G.
This year the Kunpeng 702 is still invincible, but next year, domestic 4G will begin to be promoted on a large scale, and consumers will buy 4G mobile phones. The Kunpeng 702, which is only 3G, will not be sold!
Chapter completed!
