Chapter 669 TSMC's dream, Alipay crisis(1/3)
Fearing that Lao Zhang would continue to get angry, the head of the marketing department of TSMC had to say:
"Chairman, Snapdragon 805 failed completely, Qualcomm learned from his mistakes and fought back. Snapdragon 810 upgraded to a 64-bit architecture and upgraded our 20-nanometer advanced technology, which will definitely succeed! Sales volume is definitely optimistic."
Lao Zhang took a deep breath and his face looked a little better:
"Snapdragon 810 has indeed improved a lot, and sales can also be increased a lot, which is indeed very advantageous. But it is still not enough!"
The marketing department head hurriedly stated: "Don't worry, Chairman, I'll go to AMD now and be sure to win AMD's GPU order."
Lao Zhang waved his hand: "AMD's GPU order needs to be won, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng 916 is a super big order in the second half of next year!"
"Next year, although we have lost the big order of Apple A9, we have Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 orders and signed the Kunpeng 916 super order of Xingyi Technology, which is stable! Although we have reached a cooperation intention before, we still haven't signed the contract, which is not safe."
"Chairman, I'll order tickets to fly to the Emperor Capital now and go to Xingyi Semiconductor to officially sign the Kunpeng 916 chip order!"
"You should have been like this long ago!" Lao Zhang said angrily.
The marketing manager was helpless: "Chairman, it's because I'm not taking the initiative. I just went to Xingyi Technology last month, but I don't know why. In theory, the chip order that was a foregone conclusion is still not signed yet!"
Lao Zhang frowned: "This is indeed abnormal."
Logically speaking, Xingyi Technology's new Kunpeng 916 SOC will be released and launched in September next year. It will basically have the first release at the end of this year and will have to be tested in April and May.
After the trial, Xingyi Technology conducted the test and there was no problem with the test. In June, TSMC had to prepare raw materials and debug the production line.
In July, TSMC will complete the 16-nanometer process and can be put into production. It will start mass production of Kunpeng 916 chips, and the first batch will be delivered at the end of July.
Xingyi Mobile Phone Super Factory began assembly of the entire machine in early August.
The xphone 5 distribution will be available worldwide by the end of August and will be officially launched in late September!
Although trial delivery is after the New Year, the first test of the test must be carried out at the end of this year.
In this way, the intention to OEM will be negotiated in advance in the second half of this year.
It is impossible to wait until the end of the year to start talking about it, it is too late.
For example, when Apple mass-produced the A8 chip in June this year, it simultaneously negotiated with Samsung to make a large chip foundry order for next year's A9 chip.
But here on Xingyi Technology, it’s July, and the Kunpeng 916 SOC still has no movement.
Even though TSMC has mentioned it several times, Xingyi Technology has expressed no rush and said bluntly that the Kunpeng 916 chip is still under development...
Such an attitude is unusual, very unusual!
"Is it possible that Xingyi Technology will hand over the order for Kunpeng 916 chip to Samsung for OEM?"
Lao Zhang's expression changed slightly, and then shook his head: "This is impossible, the relationship between the two parties is destined to be impossible to cooperate."
"That's strange, Samsung is impossible, Intel is even more impossible. Shouldn't Kunpeng 916 be used next year's Kunpeng 916, right?" the vice president couldn't help but say.
Lao Zhang waved his hand: "This is even more impossible. Next year, Apple A9 and Samsung Orion 7420 will all have 14-nanometer processes. Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and MediaTek X10 will also have 20-nanometer processes. Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng 916 uses 28 nanometers again, which is not realistic at all and is too backward."
The vice president nodded: "Yes, so, Xingyi Semiconductor has no other choice, it can only use our TSMC's 16-nanometer process! It seems that they refused, it was not that there was a problem, but that their Kunpeng 916 was indeed not well developed."
Lao Zhang agreed very much: "It seems that's the case. Xingyi Semiconductor's new flagship Kunpeng 910 SOC was almost completed in March this year, and then the research and development of Kunpeng 916 will begin. It will not be possible for Kunpeng 916 to be discharged until around March next year. No wonder Xingyi Technology is not in a hurry to place an order."
"Haha, that makes sense. If we don't have successful chips, we won't place an order if we replace them."
"Yes, don't worry."
"Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng 916 is slow to develop, and it is just right. Our 16-nanometer process will be mass-produced late, and it will be in July of the second half of next year. In this way, it is exactly the same period as Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng 916."
"It's true that we're late, and they're late."
"Our 16-nanometer process is specially equipped with the Kunpeng 916 of Xingyi Technology. It's such a coincidence, haha."
Lao Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief: "There will be a 20-nanometer Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 in the first half of next year and MediaTek X10. The 16-nanometer Kunpeng 916 super order in the second half of next year. It is also fulfilling, and it will be safe to win the AMD graphics card."
"Yes, with Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng 916 support, it doesn't matter if it loses Apple's A9 chip order."
"Okay, I'll try my best to get AMD's GPU order!"
"There is also the Xingyi Technology side that needs to be maintained. Our 16-nanometer large customers, even if they steal our small customers, they cannot offend them."
"Don't worry, Chairman, I can tell the difference."
However, things went against my expectations. Although TSMC also showed full sincerity this time, AMD did not respond directly.
On the contrary, after listening to Xingyi Technology's words, AMD expressed his temporary wait and see.
After all, they are all orders for next year, so there is no rush at all.
This made TSMC very melancholy.
Also sad is Ali.
During this 618 event, Douyin Mall emerged as the champion of 618, surpassing the limelight of JD.com and Tmall.
The most important thing is that even after the big promotion, the Douyin Mall is in its prime!
This made Jackma very angry:
"You said before that Douyin Mall became popular with the 618 big promotion, and is a standard big promotion player! Only when the transaction volume surges during the big promotion period will it be cooler. But what about now?"
"618 has ended for a month, but the transaction volume and order volume of Douyin Mall have not only not been cool, but have surged rapidly, increasing by more than a week. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before it can surpass Tmall in all aspects!"
"Is this what you are talking about as a big promotional player?"
The president of the Tmall business unit was frightened and had to shirk responsibility: "Chairman, our Tmall transaction volume is also increasing, and the increase is higher than that of the Douyin Mall!"
"The increase in volume is higher than that of Douyin Mall? Are you really good at gigging on your face."
Jack Ma was very angry: "Why don't you say that our growth rate is lower than that of Douyin Mall? You can just play word games!"
A group of senior executives collectively lowered their heads.
At present, Tmall's growth rate is far lower than that of Douyin Mall, but its size is large, so the growth rate is still a little higher.
But if this continues, it is only a matter of time before Tmall Mall will be surpassed.
There is no way, the growth rate of Douyin Mall is too fast!
Whether it is the number of users, orders, or transaction volume, it is constantly increasing, increasing every week!
The reason is that the service is good and the logistics is fast.
There is also Douyin traffic and Changcha payment support.
All of these aspects have crushed Taobao.
The simplest thing is that many people can not open Taobao for a week, but it is difficult to avoid watching Douyin for a week.
As long as you browse Douyin, you will see small yellow cars, there will be soft and wide, and there will be consumption...
"Tmall business department must pay attention to it. If Double Eleven is also surpassed by Douyin Mall, if nothing else, the management will definitely be cleansed. If one counts one, it will not be able to escape!"
Jackma shouted sternly, everyone was silent.
Following this momentum, the probability of Douyin Mall surpassing Tmall Mall on Double Eleven is quite high.
Jack Ma snorted coldly and changed the subject: "How is Smart Medical doing?"
"Chairman, smart medical care is progressing smoothly. It is expected to be completed by the end of the month. However, it is related to payment and will have to be tested for one month. It is expected to be officially launched in September."
"Not bad." Jackma is more satisfied with this efficiency.
After all, it is a smart medical platform for Star Yi, and Alibaba can copy it in two months, which is very simple.
"Xingyi Smart Medical has been launched in May and has grabbed a large number of customers in advance. We can't wait until September to start developing customers, it's too late."
Jack Ma said: "Now we have to contact major hospitals, discuss cooperation, sign contracts, and officially go online in September!"
"yes."
Afterwards, the entire Alibaba Smart Medical Team moved. Since the Alibaba Smart Medical Platform is still plagiarizing and is only a semi-finished product, the marketing department can only display it with PPT information.
Even the specific functions are used to demonstrate analogy using Xingyi Smart Medical Platform.
A true cover!
All major hospitals were speechless about this.
But the price of Alibaba Smart Medical is only 30% off for Xingyi Smart Medical. With such a large discount, the third-level hospitals are not favored by them, and many second-level hospitals are tempted.
Even planning to sign a contract.
Especially Alibaba has repeatedly guaranteed that Alibaba Smart Medical will be officially launched in September, and now there is a 30% discount on signing contracts.
In addition to the functions and architecture, they are all copied by Xingyi Smart Medical, and major hospitals do not doubt it.
After all, with Alibaba's strength, it is hard to say whether it can be developed, but it is still okay to copy one.
Many hospitals are tempted and sign a contract or plan to sign a contract.
Ali Smart Medical Team is in a good mood and Jack Ma is also a little relieved.
After the 618 major e-commerce failure, the field of smart medical care has finally improved well and has hope of a comeback.
Especially the smart medical platform, it is not just the profit and competition of smart medical care. The most important thing is that the payment dispute is behind it!
For hospitals that use Xingyi Smart Medical, all doctors and patients and their families have to pay and refund the fees and refunds.
For hospitals that use Alibaba Smart Medical, all doctors and patients and their families have to pay and refund the fees and refunds in Alipay!
