He was not the most horrified, the most horrified was Yu Shanshan.
After asking Chen Yulian about Xiao Qi's phone number in the United States, she desperately called Xiao Qi in the past two days to ask what was going on and why such a large fund freeze was required.
It stands to reason that these funds are Xiao Qi's own, and how they are used has nothing to do with the bank. However, Yu Shanshan has a good heart, so Xiao Qi does not argue with her. He only tells Yu Shanshan that he will wait until he returns to China to talk about anything.
He originally had no intention of using domestic money, but now that the two gambling agreements have frozen 2.4 billion U.S. dollars, Xiao Qi naturally had no choice but to ask Citibank to sign an agreement with him, and they would freeze part of the funds and exchange them for him.
I spent 500 million US dollars to prepare for my trip to Japan and South Korea.
So it’s no wonder that Yu Shanshan is anxious. The reason is that her superiors are anxious. If all the nearly 12 to 3 billion yuan is taken away by foreign banks, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the cash flow reserves of Sichuan Construction Bank.
Big blow.
Xiao Qi, who comforted the pitiful Yu Shanshan and put down the phone, smiled bitterly.
I really don’t know what the senior management of domestic banks think.
Money must flow to generate profits and create GDP. Do they really think that with high interest rate differentials, they can comfortably make money all their lives?
It's no wonder that when these banks went out, they were deceived and cried out that they had no way out. After doing this monopoly business for a long time, people's thinking and crisis awareness will inevitably become weak.
Compared with the difficulties in purchasing various patents, Xiao Qi's purchase of smart chips and wireless chip products from Broadcom in the United States was very smooth.
In the future, Broadcom will be the most famous wireless chip solution provider in the world. At least 60% of the high-end wireless chip market is firmly controlled by them.
But now in 2006, Broadcom is still struggling to move forward. The only Apple iPhone that has purchased their smart chips has not yet been launched, and it is not clear how effective it will be.
Because the number of smart chip applications in the entire mobile phone market is less than 1% of all mobile phones, people do not care whether the mobile phone has WI-FI function at all.
As for wireless chips, they have not yet been put into mass production.
Yes.
The most important function of the smart chip is to allow smartphones to connect to the Internet through WI-FI or Bluetooth, which is commonly known as mobile Internet access.
The wireless chip needs to go a step further. It can become a network signal receiver by itself and directly receive network signals, so that it does not need to be restricted by the WI-FI LAN and can truly access the Internet wherever it goes.
After next year's iPhone, everyone will know how novel, dazzling and cool it will be to use mobile phones to surf the Internet.
In July 2008, the IPHONE 3G version came out, and mobile Internet access once again broke through the restrictions. It was not until then that Broadcom's wireless chips would really become popular.
Then in 2010, Apple's IPAD came out, and people suddenly discovered that wireless chips could actually be applied to tablets, allowing tablets to access the Internet - this is equivalent to being able to access the Internet wherever you go with your computer.
There is no need for network cables or batteries. After connecting to the Internet, you can browse the web, play online games, chat with friends, etc., whatever you want is fine.
Why are tablets so popular?
Isn’t it because it has convenience and flexibility that traditional computers don’t have?
The source of this convenience and flexibility happens to be wireless Internet access!
So, is this wireless chip not important?!
With the dual support of smartphones and tablets, Broadcom has gone from prosperous to popular, leading the trend of wireless chips.
The BCM4326 smart chip currently owned by Broadcom is the same smart chip used by Apple's IPHONE. However, Boss Qiao was very cautious and only set a quantity of 10 million pieces per year, with a period of only two years, so Broadcom did not dare to let go.
We will continue to make great strides in research and development of new technologies.
Xiao Qi was not worried about the development prospects of wireless chips. After taking out the asset certificate issued by Citibank, he directly set an annual output of 30 million smart and wireless chips with Broadcom for ten years.
For such a large order, Broadcom naturally made many concessions.
The first point is that they must ensure that the product will be updated at least every two years, and the new wireless chip products provided to Xiao Qi will be more than 30 times more efficient than the previous ones.
Then there is their price. The price of the first batch of WI-FI smart chips is only 6.8 US dollars per piece. Wireless communication chips containing 3G networks require a complex wireless network module, and the price is more than 6.8 US dollars per piece.
Adding 22 US dollars, the total cost is 28.8 US dollars, and the price will increase by 6 every year.
To be honest, the price is a bit expensive. In 2012, some manufacturers' smart chips only cost 30 yuan a piece. With the addition of a wireless network module, the price was only 1,780 yuan.
But who is to say that Broadcom's wireless chip is the best? If you want to make the best product, you have to use the best parts. Unless Xiao Qi has his own excellent wireless chip, he will not save tens of thousands of dollars.
For a hundred dollars, you get a tablet computer that is prone to problems.
Moreover, this is before Broadcom's smart and wireless chips enter the market. They already have preferential measures. If we come back two years later, we won't be surprised if the price increases by another 20 to 30%.
In accordance with Xiao Qi's usual personality, just after the contract was signed, the down payment of 20 million US dollars was transferred to Broadcom's account, making the Americans once again marvel at Xiao Qi's speed and straightforwardness.
Americans are actually very old-fashioned in doing business. Things like procrastinating payment for goods often happen. When meeting generous customers, everyone is naturally happy.
With such a pleasant transaction, Xiao Qi's request to ship thousands of finished products back to China for matching was naturally easily agreed to by them.
In fact, Broadcom's wireless chips are relatively mature at this time, but because there is no market demand, they have not yet been put into large-scale production.
Because this kind of product has not been released before, the matching work of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China has to be debugged dozens of times and hundreds of times. If any problems are encountered, Broadcom will continue to provide technical support to ensure that Xiao Qi's products
It can truly achieve a breakthrough and realize 3G wireless Internet access for products. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
