Chapter 202 Qualcomm bows its head, the funder is independent of principles(1/4)
!
Qualcomm chip + baseband costs 32 dollars, plus two power management chips, the total is only 40 dollars!
Nvidia chip + Qualcomm baseband costs 43 dollars, plus two power chips, it works out to 51 dollars!
Not worth it at all.
Lao Huang was a little anxious: "Dr. Wang, you can't do the calculation like this. Qualcomm chips are cheaper because their basebands are too expensive, exceeding the normal price!"
"If you want to buy our processor, you don't need to buy Qualcomm baseband. You can choose Intel baseband. I will match it for you and guarantee it is cheap."
"How cheap is it?" Wang Yi became interested.
There is not much difference between Intel's baseband and Qualcomm's baseband these days, both are at a lower level.
A few years later, Qualcomm's baseband advanced by leaps and bounds, while Intel stood still, widening the gap.
However, Intel's baseband does not support telecommunications, but Qualcomm does.
Lao Huang said bluntly: "The NVIDIA chip costs 16 dollars, and the Intel baseband costs 14 dollars! The total of the two is only 30 dollars, which is two dollars cheaper than Qualcomm's 32 dollars!"
It can be seen that Lao Huang really wants to sell chips, and even Intel baseband is involved.
Wang Yi waved his hand: "I want two million Nvidia chips and two million Intel basebands. Please give me a minimum price!"
Lao Huang thought for a while: "I can't help the baseband. I'll give you another chip discount, 15+14, a total of 29 dollars, which is three dollars cheaper than Qualcomm!"
"This is the lowest price!"
For 15 dollars, an NVIDIA dual-core chip is less than 97 yuan, which is really not expensive.
But Wang Yi still said: "It's not low enough!"
'In your previous life, you had precise swordsmanship and you stabbed me many times. This time, it's my turn to stab you!'
Wang Yi is full of bad taste.
Lao Huang frowned slightly: "The chip can't be downgraded. I'll talk to Intel about the baseband and give you 13 dollars! That adds up to 28 dollars!"
Intel baseband costs 13 dollars, about 84 yuan.
Adding the two together, a set costs 181 yuan, which is not bad.
But baseband optimization and debugging is a big problem.
Wang Yi's mobile phone is in a hurry to be launched, but he is afraid that he will not have enough time to debug it slowly.
Once the debugging is not done well, it will overturn!
And Intel's baseband may not support three modes.
For example, the telecom version still requires Qualcomm baseband!
Unless there are three million sets of Nvidia chips + Intel baseband, or two million sets of Qualcomm chips + Qualcomm baseband.
But how to divide it depends on the price given by Qualcomm and comparison.
"Director Huang, I have to think about this. After all, it is a big order."
Lao Huang nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Wang Yi changed the topic: "Actually, I am very interested in your quad-core chip!"
He went to Nvidia. It didn’t matter whether the dual-core chip was successful or not. The main purpose was to put pressure on Qualcomm and force Qualcomm to lower its price!
Let Qualcomm know that your dual-core is expensive, then I will place an order for Nvidia + Intel!
As for Nvidia, what Wang Yi really likes is the world's first quad-core chip Tegra 3, which will be launched next year!
After all, other brands still use dual-core processors. Wang Yi has unveiled the world's first quad-core processor for the first time. It has enough gimmicks to sell out!
"Quad-core chip..." Old Huang was a little confused: "To be honest, our Tegra 3 is the world's first quad-core chip, so we don't have to worry about selling it!"
The world's first quad-core chip has many customers.
How to clear the inventory of dual-core chips that cannot be sold is Lao Huang's problem.
"This is not a problem. My order volume is higher than theirs!" Wang Yi smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Lao Huang became interested.
There is no need to worry about selling the quad-core. If Wang Yi places less orders and he still doesn’t sell, he will definitely give priority to supplying it to big customers such as HTC!
But if there are too many orders, then Wang Yi is also a big customer and must be arranged!
"How high?" Lao Huang asked with a smile.
Wang Yi stretched out three fingers.
"Three million?" Lao Huang was excited. This is a really big customer!
HTC will not place so many orders at once!
"If you give me the first batch, give priority to supply, and the price is right, I can eat five million pills!"
Wang Yi smiled slightly and was full of confidence: "But if the supply is slow and Qualcomm's quad-core products are available, then I won't ask for too much."
Wang Yi didn't hide anything.
In business negotiations, there is nothing to talk about.
After all, even if we don’t talk about it, everyone has already thought about it clearly. It’s better to talk openly and honestly and find a point that satisfies both parties!
"Okay, for your courage, I'll give you five million pills, the first batch!"
Lao Huang made a decisive decision: "If we want to supply it, we will start supplying it in February next year, and we will supply it at the same time as HTC!"
"Okay!" Wang Yi beamed with joy.
Supply and release in February, stocking up in March.
If it’s fast, the quad-core pro version will be available in late March, if it’s slow, it will be available in early April!
No, it will be launched in late March and directly compete with HTC for the world’s first quad-core flagship!
Wang Yi has his own factory, which can operate at full capacity and produce quickly!
Just the gimmick of “the world’s first quad-core flagship” is enough to sell out!
In 2012, this gimmick was awesome!
HTC One
Xingyi Mobile 1 Pro does a better job and can definitely sell more.
From March to August, it is not a problem to sell 5 million units in five months.
And after August, you can grab the first release of Qualcomm’s quad-core processor APQ8064, which is more powerful than NVIDIA’s quad-core processor!
If you place an order of 5 million pieces at once, you won’t have to worry about not being able to grab the first batch of Xiaomi Mi 2!
In this way, we will continue to seize the opportunity and stay far ahead!
"As for the price, Mr. Huang won't be too open-minded, right?" Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Of course not." Lao Huang patted his chest and said, "A Tegra3 quad-core chip only costs 30 dollars! I'll give you a guaranteed 1 million chips every month!"
Wang Yi complained in his heart: 'Made, Lao Huang, you are so black!'
You sell the dual-core processor Tegra 2 for $15, and the quad-core Tegra 3 for $30?
Just double it!
The price increase is not like this!
Worri!
"Old Huang, think it over before you speak!" Wang Yi frowned slightly.
In my previous life, I had mastered precise knife skills and never missed a knife on me.
Now that I'm a big customer, you still behave like this, it's embarrassing for you!
Regarding Wang Yi's sudden change of attitude, Lao Huang smiled awkwardly: "You want more, I'll give you 28 knives!"
"Cut again!" Wang Yi said angrily.
"27 knives!"
"Old Huang, you are not sincere!"
"..."
For a moment, Lao Huang was a little confused.
'Why is this guy so angry? I have no grudge against you!'
Wang Yi sighed, "We have a big hatred. We had our enemies in the previous life. You'd better cut me less!"
"That's it, I'll give you the same lowest price as HTC. I'm absolutely sincere, $25!"
25 knives, 47 yuan.
Including the plug-in Intel baseband, the price is 38 dollars, 245 yuan!
