"That's great!" Mr. Hu was overjoyed:
"The Modu wafer fab is SMIC's most advanced wafer fab. The equipment inside is prepared to introduce advanced equipment for IBM's 45-nanometer process, and it can fully go online with our 40-nanometer process."
"That's good. Mr. Hu, you quickly mobilize the technical team. Tomorrow Fei Modu will go and inspect it. If there is no problem, I will go over and sign the contract directly the day after tomorrow. There is also the follow-up adjustment and mass production of the 40-nanometer process, as well.
I have to leave it to you."
"No problem, Director Wang, take care of me, haha."
Mr. Hu could not suppress his excitement on the phone:
"After taking over the wafer fab and debugging it, we can start trial production within half a month. There are no problems with trial production, and we can put it into full production within a month!"
"This couldn't be better." Wang Yi felt happy.
The Modu wafer fab also has 12-inch lines, with a monthly production capacity of 25,000 wafers.
Once it is put into production, with the addition of 25,000 wafers from Shendu City, the monthly production capacity of Xingyi Wafer Factory will reach 50,000 wafers!
Based on a yield rate of 90%, approximately 29 million Kunpeng chips can be produced every month.
If the subsequent yield rate reaches 95%, 30 million Kunpeng chips can be produced every month, which is 360 million pieces a year!
Such a large volume can completely cover Kunpeng 702, Kunpeng 700, Kunpeng 500, and next year's Kunpeng 901 and Kunpeng 902, which is enough for self-use in the next year.
It has replaced Qualcomm APQ 8064 and Nvidia Tegra 3, and there is no problem.
It can be said that in one month, Kunpeng versions of xphone 1pro, xphone 2, and Xingyi Tablet X1 pro will be fully launched!
As for the tegra 3 version and APQ 8064 version in stock, it can be said that they are just in time for Double Eleven.
Now that the first phase of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center has been put into use, there are enough servers, so we can launch a wave of Double Eleven promotions.
For the NVIDIA and Qualcomm versions, the prices are reduced by two to three hundred, and there will be a wave of promotions, just as the stocks are cleared.
The follow-up version will mainly be the Kunpeng version.
The only problem is with xphone 1 and Xingyi Tablet X1.
The performance of the Qualcomm dual-core processor of the Xphone 1 is quite outstanding, and Qualcomm sells it not cheap.
After all, it is both a processor and a baseband. Although the price has been reduced several times in a row, it still costs seventy or eighty-one sets in total.
Originally, Wang Yi planned to gradually cease production, but now the Unbounded mobile phone has not been released, and the price range of more than 2,000 cannot be left blank.
Why not also launch the Kunpeng version of xphone 1!
But you cannot use Kunpeng 700, let alone Kunpeng 702.
After all, the price of Xphone 1, 2699, is much cheaper than the price of Xphone 1pro and Xphone 2, which are four to five thousand, so the price range needs to be widened.
Then mass-produce Kunpeng 500 directly.
Replace the Qualcomm 8660 chip and baseband of the xphone 1 with the Kunpeng 500 SOC, upgrading it to an entry-level quad-core!
As for the price, the Qualcomm version of the Xphone 1 was reduced to 2,499 during Double Eleven, with two free memberships for a limited time promotion, and will be slowly sold back to 2,699 in the future.
The quad-core Kunpeng 500 version of the Xphone 1 is priced at 2,999 and comes with two memberships. It is an entry-level quad-core model.
There is also the Qualcomm dual-core of Xingyi Tablet X1, which can also be upgraded to Kunpeng 500 quad-core to continue to suppress the iPad mini.
The current small-size tablet market is almost monopolized by the Xingyi Tablet X1, so the iPad mini cannot be taken over.
The A5 of the ipad mini is very stretchy, but the Kunpeng 500 is enough to beat it.
As a result, the subsequent Kunpeng version will be fully launched, and the price list will also change:
xphone 1, Kunpeng 500, priced from 2999, free dual membership.
xphone 1pro, Kunpeng 700, starting from 4499, free dual membership.
xphone 2, Kunpeng 702, starting from 5499, free dual membership.
Xingyi tablet X1, Kunpeng 500, starting from 2999, free double membership.
Xingyi tablet X1 pro, starting from Kunpeng 700, 3499, free double membership.
Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra, Kunpeng 702, 3999 yuan, comes with two memberships.
The Kunpeng 700 of Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro is not as good as the A6X of the fourth generation iPad.
The price of the fourth generation iPad starts at 3688.
Therefore, Wang Yi reduced the price of Xingyi tablet X1 pro by 200 to 3499 and gave it as a double membership, focusing on cost-effectiveness.
The Kunpeng 702 of the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra is not much worse than the A6x. In other aspects, it is even better than the fourth generation iPad, and it sells for a premium of 300 yuan!
One is 200 cheaper than the iPad 4th generation, and the other is 300 more expensive, so you can attack from both front and back!
In this way, gamers who care about GPU performance can directly go for the 3999 Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra.
Users who don’t care much about GPU performance can go directly to the Xingyi Tablet X1 pro for 3,499, which is more cost-effective.
Then there is nothing wrong with the iPad.
After all, except for the GPU, the iPad is worse than the Xingyi Tablet X1 pro, but everything else is useless. It is not as cheap as the Xingyi Tablet X1 pro, and it is not competitive.
After thinking about this clearly, Wang Yi immediately dialed Zhu Changlin's phone number and told Zhu Changlin all the above plans.
Zhu Changlin wrote down everything: "Chairman, if Kunpeng 500, 700, and 702 are fully put into production, will the output of our wafer fab be enough?"
"That's enough. The day after tomorrow, it's enough for me to go to Shanghai and acquire SMIC's Shanghai fab." Wang Yixiao said:
"In addition, in the second half of next year, the second phase of the expansion of the first factory of the Imperial Wafer Fab will be put into production again, and the monthly production capacity will increase to 50,000 pieces. By then, the baseband will no longer need to be manufactured by TSMC, and can be produced by itself."
"The extra production capacity can also be used to mass-produce Kunpeng 702, Kunpeng 700, and Kunpeng 500 chips for external sale."
In the second half of next year, both Kunpeng 901 and Kunpeng 902 will be launched. Kunpeng 702, the sub-flagship, will be available for sale to grab the market of Qualcomm Snapdragon 600.
"Then Xingyi TV X40 and X50 should also be replaced with Kunpeng 700?" Zhu Changlin asked the key.
Wang Yi thought for a while: "Xingyi TV does not need a baseband. Nvidia Tegra 3 gives us 8 US dollars, 52 yuan. Our self-developed Kunpeng 700 costs 30 yuan, and the difference is not big. Many products now require core replacement, which is suitable for
The system department has limited manpower, so it’s not worth the trouble.”
“Furthermore, Xingyi TV X40 and
Zhu Changlin suddenly realized: "It's true, it costs 52 yuan to buy Nvidia Tegra 3. Our Kunpeng 700 is sold to the outside world and integrates a full Netcom baseband. It can be sold for 152 yuan and it can make you an extra 100 yuan! You can earn an extra 100 yuan per unit.
, if there are 30 million units, we can earn an additional 3 billion!"
Zhu Changlin was shocked.
To put it bluntly, in the short term, the production capacity of Xingyi wafer fab is limited, and it is sufficient for its own use, but the external sales capacity is insufficient, and Kunpeng 700 cannot be sold to external parties on a large scale.
But if Xingyi TV X40 and X50 do not change the chip, then 30 million Kunpeng 700 SOCs can be saved, which can be sold to domestic mobile phone brands and make more money.
Moreover, the TV is not a mobile phone. Using NVIDIA Tegra 3 is already invincible, and it is not 4K, so the performance is sufficient.
What's more, Wang Yi has other plans: "The most important thing is that Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 702 must be reserved for the new products early next year!"
"The Xingyi TV X55 early next year will use Kunpeng 700, and the price will be 7999. The X60 will directly use Kunpeng 702, with full performance, and the price will be a little more expensive, 9999!"
And it’s a 1080P version.
There is no way, the 60-inch TV these days is equivalent to the 120-inch giant screen TV many years later, and it has not yet been domestically produced.
Only giants such as Sony and Samsung can do this. The configuration is far inferior to that of Xingyi TV, but the price is more than 15,000, or even 20,000 or 30,000!
Wang Yi sells it for 9999, which is considered troublesome.
"The chairman is still thoughtful. The X55 and X60 processors are stronger and more expensive. If the X50 is replaced with Kunpeng 700, the performance will be greatly improved, which will make it difficult to sell the X55 at a high price next year."
Zhu Changlin instantly understood Wang Yi's idea, that the sword technique must be precise.
Kunpeng 700 is 40% more powerful than NVIDIA Tegra 3, and Kunpeng 702 is about 110% more powerful than NVIDIA Tegra 3.
If the NVIDIA Tegra 3 of the X50 is replaced by the Kunpeng 700, then the X55 will also use the Kunpeng 700, and it will be difficult to sell it at a high price.
If the X55 is equipped with Kunpeng 702, then the X60 will be difficult to adjust.
As for the Kunpeng 901 at the end of the year, it does not have a baseband and is indeed for Xingyi TV, but it is not the 1080 version, but the 4K version!
Kunpeng 901 has such powerful performance, it is a waste to use it on 1080, it must be 4K.
By then, Unbounded TV Kunpeng 500, Xingyi X40, and x50 will continue to use Nvidia Tegra 3. Next year’s X55 will use Kunpeng 700, and X60 will use Kunpeng 702.
The 4K version in the second half of the year will be directly available on Kunpeng 901.
The main focus is on a clear level, and you get what you pay for.
Among them, the X60 4K version is priced at over 14,999!
In 2013, a 60-inch TV cost more than 15,000 yuan, and a 4K 60-inch TV cost more than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
"By the way, Lao Zhu, are there any customers currently in contact with the Pterosaur 3000 baseband?" Wang Yi thought of this.
The Wing Loong 3000 3G full network baseband is not used by Xingyi Technology. It is mainly sold to external parties to make money.
It is also to let friends and businessmen know the power of Xingyi Semiconductor and pave the way for the subsequent sale of Kunpeng chips.
Business cooperation is like this. As long as you have cooperated before and are confident, subsequent cooperation will go smoothly.
Once a friend buys the Pterosaur 3000 baseband, uses it well, and feels that Xingyi Semiconductor is strong, has good service, and has a fair price, he will also buy Kunpeng chips in the future.
"Chairman, the Pterosaur 3000 baseband has just started mass production and is not well-known enough. No customers have purchased it yet."
Wang Yi was speechless: "..."
"Lao Zhu, what does the marketing department do? It's not well-known enough and doesn't know how to proactively contact big customers?"
Wang Yi was helpless: "Ask the marketing department to send out the Pterosaur 3000 baseband and test data to contact major brands. The orders have been negotiated. We have just started. We don't take the initiative to find customers. We wait for them to come.
Us, how is this possible?"
"Yes, I will send the marketing department out immediately." Zhu Changlin's expression changed slightly, and Director Wang was angry.
It’s no wonder that all the battles we fought before were smooth sailing, and we were always on the side of Party A.
This time we want to sell the baseband and act as Party B, but the marketing department is not doing enough.
You deserve to be scolded!
Logically speaking, the marketing department is supposed to talk about customers, expand the market, and be Party B's responsibility.
It’s just that in the past, Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi TV and other products were too strong and sold too well, which led to dealers and major customers seeking Xingyi Technology, so that Xingyi Technology’s marketing department changed from Party B to Party A.
Things are different now. The baseband is a newly developed thing. The outside world does not understand it, so it is inevitable that there is a lack of confidence.
This requires the marketing department to go to the customers and take the initiative to promote it.
"Lao Zhu, immediately transferred elite personnel from the Xingyi Mobile Phone Marketing Department to establish the Xingyi Semiconductor Marketing Department, specifically responsible for the sales of basebands and subsequent chips."
Zhu Changlin was a little embarrassed: "Chairman, they all know that basebands are not as easy to sell as mobile phones. It is estimated that no one is willing to go. What should we do?"
"Don't want to go?" Wang Yi smiled: "I just want to stay in a strong department and fight with the wind, and I don't want to go to a new department to open up wasteland against the wind. How can there be such a good thing?"
"In this way, starting from next month, the performance evaluation indicators of the mobile phone business will be increased by 30%, and the difficulty will be increased. Those who cannot complete the task will receive low performance, or even zero performance. Those who fail to complete the task multiple times will be directly laid off."
"We can't let them get high performance even though they haven't done much work. It's unfair. From now on, Xingyi Mobile Marketing Department will cut salaries and reduce staff, leaving only the elites. And Xingyi Semiconductor Marketing Department will increase salaries and expand staff!"
"Tell them directly that those who are not capable enough should go to the chip department as soon as possible. Don't wait until they are laid off. There will be no chance by then."
Wang Yi thought clearly that Xingyi mobile phones would not have to worry about selling, and the mobile phone marketing department could definitely cut salaries and reduce staff.
Xingyi Semiconductor is in the development stage and needs sales talents to expand the market. The adjustment strategy is to reduce salaries and reduce staff while increasing salaries and expanding staff.
With such an obvious intention, anyone with a brain would know how to choose.
Those who are still pretending to be confused either just want to ride the wind and not take the trouble. Or they are really stupid and can't understand the direction of the company's development.
No matter which category, they are not the talents that Xingyi Technology needs, so it is natural for them to be optimized.
"In addition, elites who are willing to take the initiative to go to the Xingyi Semiconductor Marketing Department will be included in the seed plan, given priority for inspection and training."
"Yes!" Zhu Changlin responded quickly.
As Wang Yi said, Xingyi's semiconductor department currently needs elites to develop the market.
Normally, the mobile phone marketing department easily achieves high performance, but now that the company is in need, if they don't step up, they will be useless.
You deserve to be laid off.
That night, Zhu Changlin sent an internal email to Xingyi Mobile Marketing Department, which immediately caused a commotion. Many marketing department employees started chatting in various small groups:
"This month's target is very high, but if it is enough, it can still be completed. Next month the target will be increased by 30%, and it will be over. It will not be completed at all."
"Alas, the good times are over. If we raise another 30%, we will have no hope unless we work hard."
"I can't finish it. I've reached my limit this month and I definitely won't be able to finish it next month."
"If you can't finish it, you can only get the basic salary, and that's not the end of it."
"Why don't you go to the Xingyi Semiconductor Department? I've seen it. It sells Pterosaur 3000 baseband. It's a new department. The target is very low. It's not difficult to complete."
"Not only is the indicator low, but the bonus is also high. I think it will work."
"Increasing the indicators in the mobile phone department is just a screening process to let those who cannot complete the tasks exit. Either wait to be laid off. If you don't want to be laid off, go to the semiconductor department as soon as possible."
"Yeah, I can't do it if I don't go. The good days of the mobile phone department are over."
"Instead of getting a basic salary for failing to complete the tasks in the mobile phone department, it is better to go to the semiconductor department and give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle."
"Furthermore, the semiconductor department has just been established, and there are many opportunities for promotion and salary increase. I plan to go."
"I'll go too."
"It won't work if I don't go. In the future, Xingyi's mobile phone quota will be too high and it won't be easy to work."
That night, the employees of Xingyi Mobile Marketing Department began to make decisions.
Some choose to stay in the mobile phone department, while others go to the Xingyi Semiconductor department.
The next day, Xingyi Semiconductor's marketing department was quickly established, and then divided into groups to start targeted training.
One group is responsible for one mobile phone brand.
Meizu, ZTE, Huawei, Oppo, VIVO, Coolpad, Lenovo, Xiaomi and other domestic brands are all taken care of.
These days, Qualcomm's 3G baseband is expensive and does not support all Netcom, so major brands will divide it into multiple versions.
For example, for Meizu and Samsung processors, the China Unicom version uses Infineon's baseband, while the mobile version uses Spreadtrum's baseband.
The same is true for other brands, including China Unicom version of Infineon, Texas Instruments, MediaTek, Philips, Kaiming and other brands.
But if the mobile version wants to support mobile 3G, there are only a few domestic basebands such as Spreadtrum.
Therefore, all major brands have one generation of mobile phones, multiple plans, and often bugs.
Now that Wing Loong 3000 has been launched, it provides direct access to the whole network, a one-stop solution, and the price is not expensive, which has great advantages.
As long as the marketing department actively promotes it, there is a good chance that we can negotiate.
There is nothing wrong with saving money and trouble.
What's more, there is also the previous cooperation on fast charging chips. As long as it can be proved that the Pterosaur 3000 is powerful and will not overturn, this matter will be stable.
The only thing that major brands are worried about now is that the Wing Loong 3000 is immature and will overturn after buying it, so they are waiting and watching.
The role of the marketing department is to relieve the worries of major brands and persuade them to place orders!
However, Wang Yi ignored these things and came to the Xingyi Cloud Data Center to attend the opening ceremony of the cloud data center!
This is a major event for Xingyi Technology, a major event for Jeju, and even more importantly for the entire province!
The media gathered at the scene, and several leaders came.
It's just that this time the position is much higher, even Director Hong stood at the back.
There is no way, the top leader is here, and the provincial leaders are also here!
It can be seen that the leaders are all smiling.
The first phase is 50,000 servers, and 200,000 servers are fully completed!
By then it will be the largest single cloud data center in Asia and even the world!
What a scene!
The provincial leaders were all smiling from ear to ear.
This kind of big project, whether it is a high-end big project, will make everyone laugh in any province they land in!
Surrounded by everyone, Wang Yi walked onto the stage to thunderous applause.
It wasn't until Wang Yi waved his hand that everyone became quiet.
"Thank you to all the leaders and guests for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the opening ceremony of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center."
"A month ago, the Xingyi Cloud Data Center started its trial operation and data migration. We used to rent servers, but now we have our own cloud data center!"
"And there are 50,000 servers in one phase!"
"Not only can it meet all the current server needs of Xingyi Technology and Meiyu Technology, but it also has enough servers to allow us to further expand many new businesses and provide external cloud data services."
"With the Xingyi Cloud Data Center, our AI and Xiaoai robots will develop better, become smarter, and serve everyone better. Everyone will soon feel this."
"Wow." Applause rang out. Many users really felt that Xiao Ai was making rapid progress.
Wang Yi continued: "In addition, we can bring you more products and services in the future. For example, Xingyi Games, Xingyi Animation, etc., tens of thousands of employees have already moved to Meiyou Technology Park."
"A number of games and animations are being intensively produced and will be launched one after another next year, giving everyone more surprises."
"We will also comprehensively upgrade the film and television resources of Xingyi Video. We will gradually upgrade the current 480P and 720P to 1080P. We will gradually upgrade the current 1080P resources to 4K!"
"This allows members of Xingyi Video to enjoy a better and more outstanding movie-watching experience."
"Yes, next year, Xingyi Video will take the lead in opening the 4K era!"
"Wow!"
Everyone at the scene was completely excited, and the comments during the live broadcast exploded:
"It's amazing. Our friends still focus on 720P, and Xingyi Video goes directly to 4K!"
"Not only do new dramas have high standards, but old dramas also need to be upgraded and restored. It's amazing."
"With our own data center, Xingyi Video has been fully upgraded, and we are really willing to spend money."
"Other platforms are there to harvest users, but Xingyi Video really benefits users."
"That's right, all my Xingyi videos are given as gifts!"
Wang Yi continued: "Xingyi Music will also be fully upgraded. In addition to buying more lossless music copyrights, we will also use technical means to gradually upgrade SQ and HQ sound quality music to lossless, so as to provide everyone with more
Good audio-visual experience.”
Applause rang out again.
"Finally, there is another big thing."
Wang Yi paused: "Double Eleven is coming, Meiyou Mall and Xingyi Mall will launch the Double Eleven promotion!"
"Clothes and beauty products are all on sale. We refuse to raise prices first and then lower them. We treat users like fools. We directly carry out the sales at the original price. For all clothing and beauty products, 50% off for purchases over 300 and 1% off for purchases over 500.
One hundred, minus three hundred if it reaches one thousand! There is no upper limit!"
Hearing this, the barrage exploded:
"Get 300 off for purchases over 1,000, which is a 30% discount! This is comparable to a website opening sale."
"Yeah, last year on Double Eleven, Meiyou and Zhenyou basically didn't have any promotions. This year, they actually have a 30% off sale. Sisters, hurry up!"
"Zhenyou down jacket, the original price was 2,000, now it's 1,400. I love you, Mr. Wang."
"Five hundred and twenty percent off, one thousand and seventy percent off, it's still a good deal."
"The price of American pomelo has always been strong. Jimei people, this opportunity must not be lost and it will never come back."
"My shopping cart is already full and I'm just waiting for the big sale to start. It's not much, only 5,000 yuan, 3,500 yuan after 30% off."
Wang Yi continued: "Similarly, Xingyi Mall will also launch a Double Eleven limited-time promotion."
“The price of xphone 1 is reduced again by RMB 200, starting from RMB 2,499, and you will get a double membership worth RMB 360!”
“The price of xphone 1pro is reduced by RMB 400, starting from 4099, and you will receive a double membership worth RMB 360!”
“The price of xphone 2 is reduced by RMB 300, starting from 5199, and you will receive a double membership worth RMB 360!”
Now, the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded again:
"Damn it, the price of xphone 2 has finally been reduced. It's not easy. The iPhone 5 next door has already been reduced by 700 yuan, and the xphone 2 is only reduced by 300 yuan!"
"The xphone 1pro is still a good deal. It's directly reduced to 4,000. I want to buy it."
“The xphone 1 is not bad, and 2,499 is considered a dual membership, which is a great deal.”
"If you want to get in, the Double Eleven promotion will be the lowest price. After Double Eleven, the price will inevitably increase."
"That's right, after Double Eleven, Xphone 2 will be priced at 5499 again."
“Isn’t the price of Xingyi Tablet going to be reduced?”
"There is also Xingyi TV. I have been waiting for almost half a year and the price has not dropped even a penny."
"Look, Director Wang spoke again, it's probably a tablet and a TV!"
Wang Yi continued: "Xingyi Tablet X1, price reduced by 300, starting from 2699, free double membership!"
"Xingyi tablet X1 pro, price reduced by 400, starting from 3099, free double membership!"
“Xingyi TV
“Xingyi TV
"The Double Eleven promotion will start from now until the end of November 12th, and the original price will be restored. The discount time is limited and the supply is limited, so get started as soon as possible and buy as soon as possible!"
Chapter completed!
