Wang Yi nodded: "Xphone 1 has sold almost 5.5 million units since its release!"

"It's higher than I expected!" Jacob was very excited, and there was a chance of adding an order!

"Congratulations to Director Wang. If this momentum continues, the total sales of xphone 1 will reach 8 million or even 9 million by the end of this month. In this way, the 16 million sets of 8660 processors and basebands ordered before are not enough.

.”

Wang Yi smiled. He still had to give 5 million tablets to Xingyi Tablet, but of course it was not enough.

But he said: "The sales volume in February will not be so optimistic. The chip should be able to last for a while."

"It shouldn't be enough. After all, the product power of xphone Φ 1 is so strong that it is invincible! To be honest, even I switched from iPhone Μ 4s to xphone Π 1!"

With that said, Jacob took out his Xphone 1 top version: "Dr. Wang, you are so mean that you didn't even give me one, so I had to ask someone to buy it myself."

"Haha, this is all due to my negligence. When Qualcomm's quad-core version of Xingyi 2 comes on the market, I will give you one."

"Dr. Wang, you said this, I can write it down!" Jacob said with a smile:

“I have used iPhone 4s and Xphone 1. I can guarantee that, except for the Android system, which is not as good as the iOS system of iPhone 4s, xphone 1 beats iPhone 4s in other aspects and will definitely be a big seller. Mr. Wang, I still need to order more processors.

.”

"Alas! Since Mr. Jacob is talking about this, I can't help but give him face. Then let's increase the price..."

Wang Yi’s point is over. The quad-core era is coming. Can the price of your dual-core be reduced?

What a joke!

The purpose of Wang Yi's visit this time is to buy Qualcomm dual-core processors at bargain prices.

Of course, Wang Yi wants not just one processor chip, but four chips.

Qualcomm 8660 processor chip + baseband chip + two power management chips PM8058 and PM8901.

The latter two power management chips are not expensive, the market price is only 8-10 US dollars for two, and 7 US dollars for Wang Yi.

Xiaomi also bought four Qualcomm chips for its first generation. Rebus wanted a small quantity, and the total of four chips cost $45 for a set.

Wang Yi has a large quantity, and the price Qualcomm gave Wang Yi is only US$34 for the four chips!

Single processor + baseband is only 27 US dollars, about 174 yuan.

There are competing Qualcomm processors that are so cheap.

After many years, there will be no competitors, and Kirin will have difficulty giving birth. By then, Qualcomm chips will have to surge eight or nine times, starting from one thousand!

The price for the second additional order is even cheaper.

The four chips added up were directly discounted by Wang Yi to 25 US dollars!

Excluding the two power management chips costs US$6, which is equivalent to only US$19 for the processor + baseband, which is about 122.7 yuan.

This is a reasonable cabbage price, but Qualcomm has no choice. Quad-core is difficult to produce, so it can only make small profits but quick turnover.

It is better to make less than to lose money.

Now that he has added an order for the third time, Wang Yi wants to make another cut!

Jacob felt his liver hurt: "Dr. Wang, last time four chips were only 25 US dollars, which is already very cheap. It really can't be cut."

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Mr. Jacobs, this time the order is not delivered now, but in a few months. Qualcomm's costs will drop again by then, right? Now the quad-core era is coming, and the 28-nanometer era is coming. The 8660 processor is still dual-core and 45nm. To put it bluntly, it is completely outdated and the price reduction is reasonable."

"This..." Jacob fell silent. Wang Yi's words were really impossible to refute.

Last year, the 8660 asynchronous dual-core was still the absolute king.

But this year all quad-cores are available, and in a few months, 28nm quad-cores will be coming. The 8660 processor is 45nm dual-core, which is really outdated.

To put it bluntly, whatever can be sold now is all to clear the inventory.

Wang Yi continued: "Furthermore, as TSMC launches the 28nm process, the OEM cost of the backward 45nm process will also drop significantly. The cost of Qualcomm 8660 will inevitably decrease, and price cuts will also be inevitable."

"This..." Jacob's expression was a little complicated. He really didn't want to give up anymore, but he had no choice.

At present, other major mobile phone manufacturers are waiting for NVIDIA's quad-core, and currently only Wang Yi can buy Qualcomm's dual-core!

He had no choice.

As for Rebus, with a size of hundreds of thousands, Jacob couldn't stand it if he was eager to get it.

After pondering for a while, Jacob sighed: "That's it, Director Wang, you can add another 5 million sets of orders. The total price of four chips is 23 US dollars. The processor + baseband is equivalent to only 17 US dollars. It's a cabbage price, a proper cabbage price." Price, no profit at all!”

Wang Yicai didn't listen to this and said directly: "I will order another 10 million units at a unit price of US$20."

"Four chips are only 20 US dollars?" Jacob was speechless: "Then the processor + baseband is equivalent to only 14 US dollars? According to the current exchange rate of 1:6.4588, it is only 90 yuan? No, it is a loss, too much loss!"

‘Don’t make money? I believe you!’ Wang Yi was speechless.

Chips are large-scale products with high research and development costs, but the material costs are very low. The more we manufacture, the lower the diluted research and development costs will be.

In a previous life, Texas Instruments' star chip, TPS51200DRCR, sold for 70 yuan a piece and was said to be unprofitable.

After the domestic breakthrough, the price of TPS51200DRCR dropped to 1 yuan, and there is still a profit.

There is also ESP chip, which used to be 1,500 yuan, but after the domestic breakthrough, it fell to 12 yuan, and you still make money!

Needless to say, Qualcomm chips used to cost more than 200 each, but later dropped to more than 100. With such high sales, the research and development costs have long been recouped, and a lot of money has been made.

Now even if it's 70 yuan, you can still make money.

Are you still asking me to compensate you? You are just fooling me!

Of course, Qualcomm won't sell it for 70 yuan. It will at least make him a little more money before he is willing to sell it.

The 90 yuan given by Wang Yi was neither above nor below.

Not making any money, right? There is still a little profit.

It's very profitable, right? That's not really true.

The main thing is a precise knife technique.

Wang Yi picked up the wine glass and said meaningfully: "Chips are economies of scale. Qualcomm 8660 has made huge profits even after paying back its capital. It can continue to make huge profits, even if it is small profits but quick turnover!"

"This... okay, for the sake of Director Wang, I can give in. The package price of four chips is 20 US dollars a set, and the additional order is 10 million sets."

Jacob breathed a sigh of relief: "However, Qualcomm's quad-core chip will be launched in the second half of the year. Director Wang needs to support it more."

Wang Yi smiled heartily: "No problem, your price is better than NVIDIA's, I'll order at least 10 million!"

"Okay, I'm relieved with Wang Dong's words!"

Jacobs said with a smile: "Qualcomm APQ8064 is the world's first 28nm quad-core chip. It is definitely much more powerful than NVIDIA's 40nm quad-core chip and will not let you down."

"Okay, I still believe in Qualcomm's strength." Wang Yixiao said.

Now that self-developed chips have just started, they still have to rely on Qualcomm and Nvidia.

If the self-development of 28nm chips and basebands is successful in the second half of this year, or even by the end of this year, next year's Xingyi mobile phone will be able to get rid of dependence.

In the previous life, it was not until the Qualcomm Fire Dragon 810 and 808 launched in 2015 that they were upgraded to 20nm.

28nm chips have at least three more years of glory left.

The future is promising!

Subsequently, the two parties signed a contract, and the four chips were packaged for a bargain price of US$20, winning a large order of 10 million sets of chips.

After placing three orders, Wang Yi received a total of 26 million 8660 processors. Even if he gave 6 million Xingyi tablets, there would still be 20 million left, which is enough for the xphone 1 this year.

According to Wang Yi's plan, xphone 1 has been on the market since December last year and has been on sale. When the second generation of Xingyi mobile phone was released in September, xphone 1 was officially discontinued and the inventory was cleared.

In ten months, Xphone 1 has sold 20 million units, which is not a big problem.

Even if you really can't sell it, it doesn't matter. You can just throw the extra 8660 processors into Xingyi Tablet.

Throw the excess Qualcomm baseband to xphone 1pro.

With xphone 1pro and Xingyi tablet, there is no need to worry about inventory.

After the signing was completed, Wang Yi left Qualcomm headquarters and rushed to Nvidia in the evening.

The xphone 1pro will be released in April, and the quad-core processor needs to be stepped up.

When we met again, Lao Huang looked a little complicated and his words were a little incoherent:

"Director Wang, I...I...you...you are so amazing!"

"Do you know? At first, I thought your Xingyi mobile phone could sell 10 million units a year. But it ended up selling more than 4 million units in a month. If this trend continues, 20 million units a year will not be enough. At least 3,000 units will be sold.

Wan Tai!”

Wang Yi waved his hand: "The sales have been good in the past two months, but it's hard to say what will happen next. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future!"

"No, as for the excellent mobile phone xphone1, even if the quad-core era comes, it still has no worries about selling it, really."

Huang is full of confidence: "Even HTC's quad-core phone may not be able to beat the dual-core xphone 1. The only one that can beat the xphone 1 is your xphone 1pro!"

"Thank you so much Huang Dong Jiyan."

"It's really amazing. I can't wait for the xphone 1pro to be launched."

Lao Huang is full of emotions. Seeing the sales of xphone 1 and seeing Qualcomm making a lot of money, Lao Huang is envious and jealous!
