Chapter 433: Giants compete to pay protection fees, Kunpeng chip tape-out!(1/3)
"Yes, Facebook will also join the H.265 Alliance. Without H.265 authorization, our future will be worrying!"
Zuckerberg looked a little complicated: "But Xingyi Technology is really powerful. They have come up with H.265 encoding that we can't even come up with. It's so powerful and easy to use, it's incredible!"
The vice president also sighed repeatedly: "Xingyi Technology is obviously a hardware company, but it turns out that it is so good at making software and standards. It's unreasonable!"
"Well, in fact, Xingyi Technology started out as a clothing manufacturer. HM and Zara were completely destroyed by their Meiyou Technology, and their profits and market value collapsed." A senior executive couldn't help but speak.
Zuckerberg was speechless for a moment: "..."
The vice president's mouth also twitched: "..."
For a moment, everyone in the room was silent.
The Internet giant was defeated by the clothing giant across borders...
It’s somewhat funny!
You to be headquarters.
The chairman looked around at everyone: "Have the evaluation been completed? If we want to buy H.265, how much licensing fee will we have to pay per year?"
"Chairman, if calculated based on 5%%, it will be at least 150 million U.S. dollars. But if you join the H.265 Alliance, it will only cost 50 million U.S. dollars a year!"
"More importantly, once the H.265 standard is adopted, with the same video quality, 50% of bandwidth can be saved, at least 40% of server expenses can be saved, and 30 million US dollars can be saved."
The chairman was in a good mood: "So, if you subtract 30 million U.S. dollars from 50 million U.S. dollars, it is equivalent to only spending 20 million U.S. dollars for H.265? Only 13.5 million U.S. dollars more than the 6.5 million U.S. dollars for H.264?"
"Yes, that's it."
"This is a good deal. Contact Xingyi Technology immediately and tell them that You to Be wants to join the H.265 Alliance and directly pay the licensing fee of US$50 million a year."
The chairman said and changed the topic: "No, what if Xingyi Technology increases its price later?"
"A direct payment of 200 million U.S. dollars, a one-time payment for four years!"
"Chairman Gao Ming! The H.265 Alliance was just established this year. In order to attract members, Wang Yi offered an ultra-low licensing fee of 50 million US dollars. Next year, if there are more members in the alliance, it will not be 50 million. It may be 70 million US dollars.
.”
"Yes, if we pay 200 million in one time and directly sign a four-year contract, they won't be able to raise the price above our head."
"$50 million is cheap enough. The price will never be reduced in the future, but will only increase. You have to take advantage of the low price to sign for a few more years."
The same scene happened to major international giants.
After a simple discussion, they all contacted Xingyi Technology and applied to join the H.265 Alliance.
In the past, everyone thought it was not worthwhile to spend 100 million US dollars a year. After all, H.264 can also be used.
But now 50 million U.S. dollars a year can save tens of millions in server costs, which is equivalent to only 20 million a year.
It is a very good deal and there is nothing to resist.
Especially since Naphidu has obtained H.265 authorization and started to adapt, other giants can’t sit still and have contacted Xingyi Technology to join the H.265 Alliance.
After all, H.265 has powerful performance and a reasonable price. It is also an essential foundation for 4K. Buy it early and enjoy it early.
In the following days, one piece of news broke out one after another, causing a sensation on the entire Internet:
On the 12th, Facebook reached a cooperation with Xingyi Technology and added H.265. Facebook will launch H.265 in the next version.
On the 13th, the president of Xia Guo District of You to Be came to Beijing to sign a contract and obtained the h.265 four-year authorization.
On the 14th, Sony and Xingyi Technology reached a five-year strategic cooperation and became a new member of the H.265 Alliance.
On the 15th, Disney and Xingyi Technology cooperated in depth and officially joined the H.265 Alliance.
On the 16th, Twitter joined the H.265 Alliance...
On the 17th, Samsung joined the H.265 Alliance to embrace new technologies and a new era...
For more than a week, hot searches have been flooded with news that major giants have joined the H.265 Alliance.
For a time, the entire Internet was in an uproar, and public opinion exploded:
"It's amazing. Now I know what H.265 is. It can actually save half the bandwidth than H.264!"
"With H.265, I can have twice as many files on my hard drive. It is truly the greatest invention of the 21st century!"
"More importantly, this great invention was launched by Xingyi Technology. The world's major giants are vying to cooperate. Xingyi Technology is so powerful!"
"Sure enough, when it comes to research and development, we have to look at Xingyi Technology."
"The products produced by Xingyi Technology must be high-quality. Only a company that is committed to research and development is worthy of trust. This supports a Xingyi mobile phone."
"No wonder I feel that Xingyi Video is smoother than iQiyi. It turns out that it uses H.265 encoding, which saves half the bandwidth and is naturally smoother."
"Huh? Why doesn't mine work?"
"I guess your phone is too rubbish and doesn't support H.265 decoding, right?"
"My Sony TV doesn't work either. Even when I switch the Xingyi Video TV version to H.265, it freezes."
"You should change your TV. H.265 saves bandwidth, but as a new technology, it has certain requirements for hardware. If the configuration is poor, it will definitely not be supported."
"I see, I'm switching to Xingyi TV X50. I've been attracted to it for a long time."
…
With the popularity of H.265, Xingyi Technology not only earns a lot of licensing fees, but also the sales of Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi TVs have skyrocketed.
Everyone wants to experience new technologies.
But unfortunately, outdated mobile phones, tablets, and TVs cannot carry H.265 and will all freeze.
Even the 1080P on major video platforms are all fake 1080P, and they are all 1080P with a low bit rate.
Even the 1080P of Xingyi Video is fake.
Without him, if it were really 1080P, even Qualcomm's APQ 8064 wouldn't be able to drive it.
For example, the Blu-ray CD of the movie "The Godfather", 1080P, bit rate 27Mbps, H.264 encoding, the video file will be more than 25G! The bit rate is 60Mbps, which will exceed 50G. The Internet speed these days will be stuck.
As for iQiyi's "The Godfather", it is also 1080P and encoded in H.264. It is only 2.5G in size and has a bit rate of only 1.97Mbps, which is less than one-third of that of a CD Blu-ray disc.
However this is all good.
Youku's "The Godfather" has the same 1080P and H.264 encoding, but is only 1G in size and has a lower code rate of only 0.77Mbps.
There is no way. If the bit rate reaches 30Mbps and a movie reaches 30G, the network speed will not be able to handle it. Online viewing will freeze and decoding is also a problem.
Xingyi Video's "The Godfather" is also 1080P, uses H.265 encoding, is 2.6G in size, and has a bit rate as high as 5Mbps.
No matter how high it is, it won't be able to carry it, and there's nothing we can do about it.
But even so, the bit rate of 5Mbps is still very high, more than twice that of iQiyi and eight times that of Youku!
This is not only true now, but also ten years from now.
Even the so-called high code rate, not much is really high code.
Seeing that their mobile phones, TVs, and tablets could not carry H.265 and were stuck when watching videos and even at double speed, many users began to switch to Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi TVs, and Xingyi tablets.
Some people still have the same card after changing their cards, and then start to change their Xingyi routers and upgrade their broadband.
The 5g wifi of Xingyi mobile phone + Xingyi router is finally free of lag.
Wang Yi never expected that this wave of popularity would lead to crazy sales of Xingyi mobile phones, tablets and other products.
But it’s normal to think about it, just like the popularity of “Black Myth: Wukong”, which drove the sales of graphics cards and PS5.
The rise of H.265 has also set off a wave of upgrades for mobile phones, tablets, and TVs.
The one that benefits the most is Xingyi Technology.
After all, H.265 decoding is done by Xingyi Technology, so consumers will naturally give priority to Xingyi Technology products!
Domestic, buy Xingyi mobile phone directly.
Overseas, buy parallel imports of Xingyi mobile phones!
Just like before, parallel imports of iPhones could be seen everywhere in China, now parallel imports of xphone 1, xphone 1pro, and xphone 2 are also exported to many countries and regions around the world.
The price is a little more expensive, but if you want to buy it, you can buy it.
For example, the five largest mobile phone vendors in Asan Kingdom purchased 17 million Xingyi mobile phones last month.
Among them, xphone 1 and xphone 1pro are mainly sold in Asan.
As for the Xphone 2, most of them were directly sold to European vendors at a higher price.
There is no way. The Xphone 2 was launched last month, and the extra 5 million production capacity was packaged up by the five major vendors in Asan Kingdom. Even European and American parallel importers couldn't get the goods.
I can only buy Asan’s products at a higher price.
As for reselling at a higher price, Asanguo is the best at it.
The result was that all 5 million Xphone 2 units were sold at a price increase of RMB 200, and were sold to European and American traders at once.
This month, seeing the Xphone 2 selling so well in Europe and the United States, the five major vendors in Asan Kingdom were also moved.
Decisively, through the trading company in Xiaguo, he approached Xingyi Technology again, paid the full price, and ordered another 5 million xphone 2.
Wang Yi has no objection to this.
