Chapter 206 The mysterious giant attacks Apple? (Please subscribe(1/2)
)
Wang Yi also didn’t expect that the chips he ordered for a year would be reported by Wall Street.
It even shocked the entire empire!
Also, when other manufacturers buy chips, an order of one million units is enough.
Wang Yi bought chips, applied processing chips + baseband chips, and made 30 million chips directly!
It would be strange if it didn’t cause a sensation!
From now on, it will be difficult to keep a low profile!
Steve also had a complicated look on his face and sighed in his heart:
'No wonder semiconductor giants like Williams were so excited when they came in! It turns out that Director Wang's name has already caused a sensation in the entire semiconductor industry!'
"Dr. Wang, not only the Wall Street Journal, but also the international mainstream media have reported extensively on you today!"
Williams said, swiping his phone: "Look!"
[Jingbao: A mysterious giant appears in the mobile phone industry, with a size of 30 million, which will seriously impact Apple, Samsung, and HTC.]
[The Guardian: Facing the terrifying impact of the mysterious Eastern giant with a size of 30 million, Nokia’s dominance may not be guaranteed!]
[Ta Kung Pao: From this transaction, the Imperial chip giant became the biggest beneficiary, and Japan and South Korea received no semiconductor chips.]
[Voice of the Empire: Ordering 30 million chips, a new mobile phone giant is rising in the East!]
[The Times: With a one-time order of 30 million chips, what is the origin of this mysterious Eastern boss?]
…
Looking at these reports, Wang Yi burst out laughing, feeling sad and happy at the same time.
Sadly, it will be difficult to keep a low profile in the future.
Fortunately, traffic is coming from heaven!
Originally, Wang Yi was still thinking about how to better market and promote Xingyi mobile phone!
It's fine now, no worries at all.
Wang Yi doesn’t even need to buy hot searches and traffic for publicity!
Wall Street, The Times, The Environment, The Guardian and a series of other international media took the initiative to promote him!
"The mysterious giant of the East!"
"Spending 30 million chips!"
"Thirty million volumes!"
"Severe impact on Nokia, Apple, Samsung..."
Looking at these words, who is not confused? Who is not curious?
There is no doubt that now the entire empire, and even the entire world, are looking for the details of this ‘mysterious Eastern giant’ and the company and brand behind the ‘Oriental giant’!
Sure enough, Williams took to Twitter:
"Director Wang, you see the 'mysterious Eastern giant' has become a hot search topic, and the entire Internet is trying to find your identity!"
Wang Yi: "..."
Whatever you think comes to you.
In 2011, smartphones around the world were in their infancy.
Domestic smartphones are still in their infancy. Xiaomi has only released the first generation of smartphones and has not yet officially launched sales.
Suddenly a mysterious Eastern giant with an order of 30 million pieces appeared, and everyone was curious.
With the power of these media, I am afraid that Wang Yi’s identity, Meiyou Technology, and Xingyi Technology will be dug out soon...
Then they made a big report and took the initiative to help Xingyi Mobile promote it for free!
There is no way, this matter has already caused a sensation in the empire and even the entire West.
If there is enough traffic, the media will rush to report on it!
Once these international media report it, the domestic media will also be shocked and report accordingly.
Well, now, the promotion of Xingyi Mobile has already been completed even before it started.
It’s still such a high-profile, free, overwhelming international publicity!
Wang Yi also didn't expect that placing a chip order for a year would cause such a terrifying chain reaction.
I didn’t know what to say for a while!
All I can say is that it was done... so beautifully!
If it weren't for this wave of misfortune, Wang Yi would not have been able to achieve such traffic and effect.
Wang Yi burst into laughter: "The empire's media efficiency is fast enough, but they exaggerate. In fact, it is 15 million application processing chips + 15 million baseband chips! To support the volume of 15 million mobile phones, the media reported it as 30 million,
It’s twice as exaggerated!”
Wang Yi predicts that Xingyi Phone 1, Xingyi Phone 1 pro, and Xingyi Phone 2 will each sell 5 million units throughout next year, and a total of 15 million units will be sold. This is not a big problem.
But if it hits 30 million units...it would be too difficult for an emerging mobile phone brand to position itself as high-end.
In his previous life, Wang Yi remembered that Huawei's sales in 2012 were only about 30 million, of which 20 million were feature phones.
There are less than 10 million smartphones, of which only about half are high-end smartphones called P1, and the rest are entry-level smartphones.
Therefore, it is difficult for Wang Yi to sell 30 million high-end smartphones a year!
Too difficult!
But with 15 million units, there is still hope.
After all, Xingyi Phone 1 is much better than Huawei P1.
Not to mention Xingyi 1 pro and 2nd generation!
Williams smiled slightly: "Although the media data is not rigorous enough, the strength of Xingyi Technology is still terrifying! We, the old directors of Texas Instruments, are so envious! There is just one sentence, I don't know whether to ask it or not."
"Just ask."
Williams paused: "Director Wang, our Texas Instruments processors are no worse than NVIDIA and Qualcomm, or even better. Why didn't Director Wang choose us instead of NVIDIA and Qualcomm?"
Wang Yi smiled: "The reason is simple. Nvidia launches the world's first quad-core processor. We need it, but Texas Instruments doesn't have it."
Williams nodded: "This reason is extremely good. What about Qualcomm? Their dual-core processor is not as good as our Texas Instruments!"
"It's true that Qualcomm processors are not as good as yours, but Qualcomm has a baseband, and it's very powerful. Texas Instruments doesn't have that. If I buy your chip, I still have to buy a Qualcomm baseband, which is not cost-effective."
"Alas! It's true." Williams sighed:
"Many customers have given up on Texas Instruments for this reason. It seems that without a baseband, it is difficult to make progress."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Not only that, I also know that Texas Instruments is studying to completely abandon the mobile chip business. It is estimated that the entire department will be gone next year! In this situation, who dares to use Texas Instruments processors? There is no follow-up guarantee.
.”
"..." Williams was silent, but he was shocked: "Do you even know this?"
The news that Texas Instruments has given up its mobile chip business and laid off all employees in the entire mobile chip department has long spread internally.
However, many people don't believe it. They think that Texas Instruments and Nokia are as brilliant and absolute dominance. How could they end?
But as the project director of Texas Instruments, Williams knows best that Texas Instruments will not only give up the mobile chip business, but also lay off all of them within a year!
If not, by this time this year, we are already researching the next generation of processors.
NVIDIA, for example, is working on Tegra 4, which will be launched in the first half of next year.
Qualcomm is also intensively promoting the 8064, which will be launched in the second half of next year. The new generation of the next year has also been approved!
Competitors have all developed quad-core chips, but Texas Instruments, the former big brother, still has no new moves or follow-up, and his project director has been idle...
There is only one truth: Texas Instruments will completely abandon the mobile chip business.
Williams is also facing being laid off!
Once you lose your job, where to find a new job is a problem.
After all, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Intel, and Apple all have their own R&D teams and leadership cores.
A big guy like him is the project director at Texas Instruments. Even if he goes to a friend's company and becomes an ordinary R&D person, he would not agree, which would be a loss of value.
If you continue to be the project director, where will your original project director go? One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!
What a dilemma!
Williams knows this, and so does Wang Yi.
Wang Yixiao said: "We at Xingyi Technology should focus on developing the mobile phone business and semiconductor business!"
"Semiconductor business!"
Williams understood, no wonder he came to find him, Xingyi Mobile was going to develop its own chip!
