Chapter 551 Big player Xingyi Technology, Qualcomm is furious
Standing on the wind outlet, pigs can take off.
What's more, "Boom Island" is an extremely outstanding golden pig, and it stands on the cusp of such a terrifying hurricane!
That will only fly higher!
Chat and XOS Game Center are strongly recommending Boom Beach, and many anchors on Douyin are sharing related videos and playing "Boom Bank" live.
As a result, players at home and abroad were also tempted and jumped into the trap one after another.
Scolding Laomi for being shameless while playing "Boom Island" has become a global norm...
After all, I'm tired of scolding, so playing "Boom Island" can be considered a very good solution.
Without any surprise, "Boom Island" became a huge success.
The turnover in the first month exceeded RMB 300 million without any problems.
In the first year, the turnover exceeded 4 billion yuan, and there was not much pressure.
After all, Wang Yi optimized many of the gameplay and production of "Boom Island".
Not only did it invest more, the modeling was more refined, the picture quality was better, the gameplay was more diverse, but the formula was also adjusted.
This allows Krypton gold players to have a better sense of gain and playability.
Even players who don’t have a lot of money can still fish.
Unlike my previous life, where I had no money and no way to survive, all I had to do was write the words "cut leeks" clearly on my head!
Wang Yi knows that this type of game not only requires a large number of players to spend money, but also requires players with low or no money to maintain the popularity of the game.
After all, there are only a small number of high-earning players, and a large number of people are still earning gold, playing low, slightly, or even not at all.
Wang Yi's goal is to make "Boom Island" a super hit like "Clash of Clans", an evergreen hit that has remained popular for ten years.
Just looking at the terrifying income of "Boom Island", MiHoYo became silent again.
With annual revenue of 3 to 4 billion, it is also a hit game. It would be a lie to say that I am not envious of it.
Wang Yi didn't bother to pay attention to this.
Appropriate stimulation can stimulate the fighting spirit and creativity of the miHoYo team.
Wang Yi was worried that if he gave too much support, they would eat too much and lose their fighting spirit.
The reason why Wang Yi doesn't make the original god...it can only be said that the original god is not that easy to make, and in a certain sense it is difficult to copy.
Unless Wang Yi joins the development team and takes charge personally, comprehensively planning and controlling everything from beginning to end...
But unfortunately, Wang Yi no longer has that energy.
As the chairman of Xingyi Technology, he has more and more important things to do.
Therefore, the development of Genshin Impact must be left to miHoYo.
But games like chicken games are much simpler.
For this kind of game, Wang Yi made a request and explained the mode and gameplay, and his subordinates could lead the people to develop it one by one.
After Prism Gate, Wang Yi felt that the progress of many projects had accelerated.
For example, the cooperation with Shenzhen City was proposed last month and has been fully implemented this month, with detailed plans coming out.
To this end, Wang Yi came to Shenzhen City and formally signed the contract.
The first is the big project, the Shenzhen wafer fab!
The monthly production capacity is 100,000 wafers. When fully completed, the monthly production capacity will be 60 million chips!
Next to the wafer fab, there is a large packaging and testing plant, as well as a very large silicon wafer plant covering an area of 1,000 acres!
Fu Hanhuai, director of the Shenzhen Municipal Planning Bureau, pointed to the planning map and explained to Wang Yi in detail:
"Director Wang, these three large factories are very close to each other and are very convenient for transportation. At that time, we will build an internal transportation road for these three factories. After the silicon wafer factory produces large silicon wafers, they will be sent directly to the factory next door.
The wafer factory, after the wafer factory produces the chips, they will be sent directly to the packaging and testing factory next door for packaging and testing! Ensure more efficient transportation and production!"
Wang Yi is very satisfied with this. The three major factories are close to each other, so the efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.
Moreover, it is very close to a high-speed rail station, and the chips produced can be directly transported to mobile phone factories, foundries, or to third-party customers via high-speed rail.
Of course, with the development of Xingyi Logistics, transportation by road is also very convenient.
As for air freight, that's not necessary.
Without him, Xingyi Semiconductor has chip factories in both the Magic City and the Imperial City.
The wafer fabs in Shenzhen mainly radiate to the southern provinces. The distances are not far, and air transportation may not be as fast as land transportation.
If it is sent overseas, it will have to be shipped by air.
"As for the southern headquarters of Xingyi Technology, it is located in the core area of Shenzhen City and covers an area of 500 acres. We will give away the land for free!" Fu Hanhuai continued.
"500 acres!" Wang Yi was a little surprised, this is the core area!
Previously, the 300 acres provided by the city in the core area was enough, so Shenzhen City directly increased the area by 500 acres!
It can only be said that he is rich and wealthy.
Five hundred acres of land in the core area is not cheap. It is more expensive than one thousand acres in the suburbs.
Even for industrial land, it costs three to four billion.
"Dr. Wang, there is no need to be surprised. The Shenzhen City shows the greatest sincerity to Xingyi Technology. We will give you these 500 acres of industrial land for free, and you will do the construction yourself. As a constraint, we hope that within three years, Xingyi Technology South will
The headquarters is put into use!”
"That's no problem!" Wang Yi readily agreed, giving away three to four billion for free, there was no reason not to want it.
Moreover, after the completion of the southern headquarters of Xingyi Technology, it can radiate to the entire southern provinces and absorb outstanding talents from the southern provinces, which is essential!
"There are also five pieces of residential land nearby, which are also in good locations. I will give them to you together. However, I cannot give them away. I will give them to you according to the starting bidding price."
"No problem." Wang Yi looked at the location and price, they were both good.
These five pieces of land total 800 acres, with a floor area ratio of 5 and a construction area of 1.33 million square meters!
The total price is 40 billion, which translates into a floor price of 30,000 yuan per square meter!
Last year, the floor prices of four pieces of land in the core area of Shanghai Magic City were also 30,000 yuan.
But the land price is nearly 10% more expensive than those four pieces of land.
After all, the floor area ratio of the four plots of land in the Magic City is 3, while here it is 5.
But it doesn’t matter, house prices have been rising, and a 10% price increase this year is normal, even a bargain.
If it were put on the market and auctioned, the floor price would not be 30,000 per square meter, but 40,000, or even 45,000!
There is no other way. In the core area of Shenzhen City, every inch of land is at a premium.
Once it is developed into a large flat floor, it will be put on sale in four years for 120,000-150,000 to 150,000 per square meter, no problem!
With an investment of more than 40 billion, the net profit will be hundreds of billions in a few years without any pressure.
As for the floor area ratio of 5, there will naturally be divisions.
At that time, some plots will be turned into large high-rise + small high-rise buildings with 0 floor area ratio, and some plots will be built into small high-rise buildings + bungalows with 0 floor area ratio!
Of course, the price of a bungalow will be much more expensive.
After the signing was completed, Wang Yi directly arranged the finance to make the payment.
In the past, Xingyi Technology made more money and spent more money. When buying land, it had to pay first, and then mortgage it and get a loan.
But now, Xingyi Technology spends more money and makes more money.
Even 40 billion was taken out easily.
No mortgage loan is required, and there is sufficient liquidity in the account.
After deducting these 40 billion, there are still more than 100 billion in cash lying around.
Well, what Rebus had worked hard for more than ten years, Wang Yi had achieved in three years.
There is no way, Xingyi mobile phones are selling very well, with high profits and high sales volume.
Unbounded mobile phones are also selling well, with low profits and higher sales!
There are also tablets, TVs, games, and Meiyou and Zhenyou’s clothing and makeup, etc., all businesses are making money.
Xingyi Technology is not short of money at all.
If you can’t spend your own money, why take out a loan?
You know, loans also require interest payments, and they are not low.
For example, if you pay off a mortgage in the past few years, 70%-80% is interest.
Three years of repayment of 300,000 yuan, but at the last check, the principal was only repaid 60,000 yuan, and the 240,000 yuan was all interest!
Many companies go bankrupt because the profitability is not as good as the loan interest rate, and all the money earned is given to the bank...
Sure enough, seeing Wang Yi's operation, the Shenzhen stock market was also shocked.
This is the first company to buy land without a mortgage!
"Dr. Wang, don't worry, our Shenzhen market speed is absolutely amazing. With three major factories and multiple construction teams starting construction at the same time, they will be completed and delivered with the fastest efficiency and the highest quality!"
Fu Hanhuai assured.
"I am also very optimistic about the efficiency of Shenzhen City. I look forward to the three major factories being put into operation and contributing to the development of Shenzhen City!" Wang Yixiao said.
"Director Wang, these three major factories are high-end industries, even cutting-edge industries. They are not adding bricks and mortar, but helping Shenzhen City achieve industrial upgrading!"
If it were another factory, the Shenzhen market wouldn't care, there would be no shortage at all.
But high-end chip factories, even high-end processes below 20 nanometers, are in short supply across the country!
The Shenzhen Stock Exchange also took advantage of it.
There are also silicon wafer factories, and 12-inch large silicon wafers are also high-end areas that are blank in the mainland and are in short supply.
Including packaging and testing factories, high-end packaging and testing processes are also cutting-edge processes in the mainland.
These projects bring not only horrific GDP and high-end employment, but also political achievements, irreplaceable political achievements!
The simplest thing is that once Xingyi Technology's Shenzhen wafer fab, as the first 20-nanometer wafer fab in mainland China, is put into operation, it will definitely be on CCTV.
It is of great significance.
Including the previous Imperial Capital Wafer Factory, which was put into production of the 28nm process, if Wang Yi had not kept a low profile, CCTV would have reported it many times.
It's just that the current situation is not suitable.
This time, both parties are happy with this cooperation.
Wang Yixiao said: "The southern headquarters of Xingyi Technology will be built as soon as possible, but before we build it, we will first buy an office building and build the southern headquarters as soon as possible. We will move in after it is completed!"
These days, houses are cheap and office buildings are cheap.
You can buy it directly.
When the southern headquarters is completed, the vacant office buildings will be suitable for sale or rental.
"That couldn't be better!" Fu Hanhuai said with joy.
"But our employees are here. Can Shenzhen City provide some policy support so that they are willing to take root in Shenzhen City and settle down and start a business?" Wang Yixiao said.
Fu Hanhuai understood what Wang Yi meant and said quickly: "That's no problem, Xingyi Technology's employees are all high-end talents. We in Shenzhen City have always had various subsidies and preferential treatment for high-end talents. In addition to regular subsidies, we also
Xingyi Technology employees will be provided with household registration."
Wang Yi nodded: "With the household registration and the high income of Xingyi Technology, employees have made money and are reluctant to leave when they buy a house in Shenzhen City."
"Yes, we strongly welcome this. Not only will we provide household registration, but we will also relax restrictions on provident fund loans." Fu Hanhuai said with a smile.
Yu Gong helps the development of Shenzhen City.
Privately, this is another big political achievement!
There is absolutely no reason to refuse, and better arrangements must be made.
Wang Yi was very satisfied with this.
After the signing was completed, Wang Yi and Fu Hanhuai had a meal in the evening, and Mr. Song was also present.
"Director Wang, the series of support for Xingyi Technology are actually beyond the standard, and he will face a lot of pressure. But Mr. Song has taken care of it!" Fu Hanhuai said meaningfully.
The preferential support provided by Modu and Didu in three installments was given by Shenzhen City in one go, and more!
Wang Yi knew in his heart that it would not be like this without the approval of Mr. Song, a feudal official, who personally endorsed and strongly supported Xingyi Technology.
Wang Yi quickly picked up the wine glass: "Thank you Mr. Song for your support. I won't say much here. Xingyi Technology's first 14nm wafer fab will definitely be put into production in Shenzhen!"
"You're welcome, Mr. Wang. I'm very happy that you can come to Shenzhen City for development."
Mr. Song said kindly, but then suddenly felt something was wrong: "Wait a minute, how many nanometers did you just say?"
Check out the correct version one by one!
"14 nanometers!" Wang Yixiao said.
"14nm wafer fab!" Mr. Song was not calm anymore.
Fu Hanhuai next to him was also confused!
"Xiao Fu, didn't you mean the 20nm wafer fab?"
Fu Hanhuai was also confused: "Mr. Song, Director Wang only talked about the next generation of wafer fabs, not 20 nanometers or 14 nanometers. Is it possible that Xingyi Semiconductor skipped 20 nanometers and went directly to 14 nanometers?"
Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, the 20nm node has limited improvement compared to the 28nm node. We are already at a backward stage, and it makes little sense to continue to develop 20nm. Simply skip 20nm and directly develop the 14nm process.
Road to overtake!”
"Okay, very good, great!" Mr. Song was a little excited and picked up the wine glass:
"Director Wang, I respect you for this cup! If it weren't for you, we don't know how long it will take for our mainland's 14nm technology to break through! I respect you!"
"Mr. Song, you're so polite. 14nm cannot be separated from our research and development and the support of Shenzhen City! I respect you!"
It was a very enjoyable meal.
Fu Hanhuai saw everything in his eyes and knew in his heart that from now on, Xingyi Technology must be put first and cannot be relaxed.
It all depends on Xingyi Technology when the Shenzhen market can put 14nm chips into production and become number one in the mainland, even the country, and even the world!
This means a lot!
Mr. Song even directly arranged for people to set up a special team to quickly promote the three major factories!
After staying in Shenzhen City for two days, Wang Yi returned to the Imperial Capital and went straight to the Xingyi Semiconductor Department.
At present, the only business that is still losing money is Xingyi Semiconductor, but the loss is not too much.
Without him, Kunpeng processors, Wing Loong basebands, and fast charging modules are all selling well, and the profits are also considerable.
These chips have enjoyed a technological monopoly since they were launched on the market and are deeply loved by users and mobile phone manufacturers.
For example, the 64-bit architecture of Kunpeng processors has a monopoly advantage, while the 32-bit processors of Qualcomm and Nvidia are far behind.
Customers are God, and consumers like 64-bit processors.
At similar prices, major brands are naturally willing to give up the 32-bit processors of Qualcomm and Nvidia and choose the 64-bit processors of Xingyi Technology.
There is also the Wing Loong baseband, which supports mobile 3G, true full network connectivity, and affordable prices. It also has a monopoly advantage in Xiaguo and has been purchased in large quantities by major brands.
As for the fast charging chip module, let alone it.
The advantage of 10W fast charging is a generation ahead of Qualcomm. Major brands naturally gave up Qualcomm's 5W slow charging and chose Xingyi Technology's 10W fast charging.
Especially flagship phones, as long as they don’t have 10W fast charging, they are out of the question.
Even this year’s new phones from Samsung and LG are equipped with Xingyi Technology’s 10-watt fast charging.
There is no surprise. With the purchase from two major customers, Samsung and LG, Xingyi Technology's fast charging modules are selling well all over the world, with profits exceeding 15 billion.
As for Qualcomm’s fast charging, it was still blank last year.
After a year of research and development, it is estimated to be ready soon.
The 64-bit monopoly advantage of Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 702 means they sell better and have higher profits.
In the past year, the total profits from these large chip orders exceeded RMB 50 billion!
Even if semiconductors burn a lot of money, these 50 billion profits can make up a lot of money.
And last month, Kunpeng 902 and Kunpeng 902C also began to be sold to third-party brands.
"How is the sales situation of Kunpeng 902?" Wang Yi asked.
George frowned: "Kunpeng 902 is a 28nm 64-bit processor with integrated 4G baseband. Many customers are interested in it, but not many have placed orders so far. HTC, for example, is still the first to place orders, but
Many other brands are still waiting to see."
Wang Yi understood the reason.
HTC’s new flagship this year, powered by the Kunpeng 702 processor, is selling very well.
Now that the next generation of Kunpeng 902 is here, Wang Hong has reaped the benefits and decisively placed an order immediately.
After all, HTC was easily banned, so Wang Hong had to adopt the "machine sea tactic" and frantically release new phones.
As long as my new phone comes out quickly, I'm not afraid of you banning it!
But other brands are still waiting and watching.
Xingyi Technology used the previous Kunpeng 702 for its own use first, and its performance was so powerful that friends and businessmen naturally dared to buy it.
Today's Kunpeng 902 has not yet been officially launched, and friends are not worried.
Some have just launched the new Kunpeng 702 machine.
For example, the new phones of Meizu, Xiaomi, O, V, and Kunpeng 702 have just been launched for a few months and are selling like hotcakes. There is no rush to release the next generation yet, so there is no rush to buy the Kunpeng 902.
Wang Yi doesn't mind this: "The performance of Kunpeng 902 is powerful enough, so I'm not afraid that they won't buy it. As for customers who are still waiting to see, you can give them the sample and let them test it. Once they know the performance, they will naturally place an order."
"
George nodded: "Okay, anyway, xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus will be released soon, and we are not afraid of Kunpeng 902 being leaked."
"That's right, semiconductors cost a lot of money, so we have to make some money by selling chips. The R&D department must work hard, and the marketing department must work hard," Wang Yi instructed.
Sure enough, after learning that Kunpeng 902 mass-produced products could be used for testing, all major brands were excited and acted decisively and quickly.
Several customers who were originally planning to place orders for Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 began to hesitate.
After all, 64-bit chips are obviously preferred by users and have more future.
There was also the Prism Gate incident, which made Qualcomm's processors suspected of having hidden doors. However, Xingyi Technology's domestic chips are more reliable and more recognized by users.
As a result, several brands are considering giving up orders from Qualcomm and switching to Kunpeng 902 from Xingyi Technology!
Seeing that the Snapdragon 800 has begun mass production and not many customers have placed orders yet, Qualcomm cannot sit still.
Jacob was even more angry: "Our Snapdragon 800 was released in the early 2000s and has already begun mass production. Logically speaking, it should be in short supply. Why haven't many customers placed orders so far? Not only is the supply not in short supply, but the supply is in excess!"
"Who can tell me what's going on?"
Although last year's APQ 8064 was robbed of its quad-core launch limelight and sales in the first half by Nvidia's Tegra 3, its sales in the second half of the year were still very good.
The dual-core flagship from the year before last was also a hot seller around the world, with demand exceeding supply.
But as of this year’s Snapdragon 800, the supply exceeds demand!
And it's not that supply exceeds demand after large-scale mass production, but that there is oversupply when mass production just starts and the production capacity is not too high!
Is this not over?
Faced with Jacob's question, everyone in the room fell silent.
Jacob became more and more angry: "Marketing Director, tell me, what's going on?"
"Chairman, the main reason..." the marketing director stammered, frantically making excuses:
"The main reason is Xingyi Technology. Xingyi Technology placed a lot of orders for the previous dual-core processors. Last year's APQ 8064, Xingyi Technology also placed tens of millions of orders in the early days. This made both generations of Qualcomm chips hot-selling."
"But since Xingyi Technology released the Kunpeng 702 last year, which completely replaced Qualcomm processors, tens of millions of chip orders were suddenly lost, and the Snapdragon 800 was unsaleable."
Jacob's mouth twitched: "..."
Is this guy treating him like a fool?
"Idiot! Even without Xingyi Technology, there won't be so many orders. Look, how many Snapdragon 800s have been sold so far? Samsung bought 10 million units, LG bought 5 million units, and Sony bought 5 million units.
I bought 5 million pieces, and almost no other brands have placed orders!”
At this time in previous years, there were nearly 100 million orders.
Only 20 million units were sold this year!
It would be strange if Jacob wasn't angry.
Knowing that he couldn't be fooled, the marketing director could only sigh:
"Chairman, the main reason for the low number of orders this year is still those Xia Guo brands. Before, they all bought our Qualcomm processors. But since the beginning of this year, they have all bought Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 702. As a result, our Snapdragon
800 unsaleable.”
Jacob frowned: "Kunpeng 702 is not last year's product. It is the same generation as APQ8064. It is only used now. Is it possible that those Xia Guo brands will continue to use Kunpeng 702 in the fourth quarter of this year, or even next year? Isn't it?"
"It's indeed not the case. As far as I know, Xingyi Semiconductor has developed the Kunpeng 902, a 4G chip, which has very good performance and is being sold aggressively. Many brands are considering Kunpeng 902, so they don't buy our Snapdragon 800!"
"Kunpeng 902?!" Jacob was startled: "Is the news true? How many nanometers?"
“I don’t know the process, but I’m sure Kunpeng 902 will be launched. It will be officially launched in September and will be released together with Xphone 3!”
"Fake! Fake!" Jacob's face became very ugly: "Their R&D efficiency is so high! Kunpeng 702 surpassed Snapdragon 800 with the support of XOS system. Then Kunpeng 902 with the support of XOS system, I'm afraid
It can blow up our Snapdragon 805!"
"Fake!"
At this time, a vice president said: "Chairman, don't worry, only Xingyi Technology has the XOS system. Other brands cannot use it, so there is no bonus."
"Yes, without the 160% blessing of the XOS system, the Kunpeng 702 is not as good as the Snapdragon 800. The Kunpeng 902 and the Snapdragon 800 are estimated to be only 50-50 better."
Jacob breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why can't the Snapdragon 800 be sold?"
The marketing director took a deep breath: "SOC chips, fast charging chips, and power management chips are often sold together. Our 5-watt slow charging chip and power management chip are holding us back, and Xia Guo brand prefers Xingyi Technology
10W fast charging chip + Kunpeng 902!"
Jacob frowned, this reason made sense, and then looked at the R&D director: "Has our 10-watt fast charging chip been made?"
"It has been made and has entered mass production. However, there is still a lot of inventory of 5-watt slow charging chips, so we have not released 10-watt fast charging. We plan to wait until the 5-watt inventory is cleared before launching our Qualcomm 10-watt fast charging!
"
"..." The corners of Jacob's mouth twitched and he was filled with anger:
Chapter completed!
