The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 209

Mir and Inet subsidize the major computer host manufacturers to cut prices and promote them, and even Hongguo personally "encircled and suppressed" Phoenix Computer, which is not surprising.

After all, Phoenix Computer's "Tiger Leap Chip" and "Future Operating System" have seriously threatened the absolute monopoly of Mir and Inet in the industry.

It would be a strange thing not to take advantage of the opportunity of Fenghuang being blocked to suppress Fenghuang computer frantically!

but.

Hu Lai was very calm in his heart. Phoenix Computer, which solved the chip problem, was really not afraid of the so-called price war, even.

Since Microsoft wants to play, it will accompany you to play a big ticket.

……

Compared with Hu Lai's calmness, after the news that Phoenix was blocked by the American country went through a morning of fermentation, the entire Internet was completely detonated.

Major portals, Douyin APP, Weibo, Zhihu...all the websites maxed out the same piece of news!
After Huawei Group was blocked last time, countless netizens did not expect that Phoenix Group was once again completely blocked by America after a few years.

Moreover, this time the blockade came more quickly and more vigorously. Not only the 7nm process was restricted, but even the "backward" process of 14nm was blocked!
Angry, helpless, helpless!
All kinds of emotions filled the entire Internet public opinion. In a trance, Chinese people seemed to have returned to the scene when Huawei Group was blocked a few years ago.

But this time, although the netizens still supported the Phoenix Group, everyone lost all the hope they had before!

All netizens know that it is too difficult to break the blockade of American chips!

The lithography machine is like an insurmountable mountain, always blocking the way of Yanguo's domestic chips!

No matter how strong the Phoenix Group is, this is not a problem of a certain company. It is not a simple technological problem. It is a problem that can only be solved after the combination of the technology industry and the manufacturing industry!

How could the small Phoenix Group break through the blockade of the lithography machine?

impossible!

"Fun, this Phoenix computer is really over! The last time Huawei's high-end Meta phone was blocked, it's over, and now Phoenix's high-end computer is probably over!"

"Brothers above, Huawei is not just the high-end Meta series, but almost the entire mobile phone business is whitewashed, but Phoenix Computer is even worse, it was hammered when it was just started!"

"Not only is Phoenix Computer dead, but Phoenix's 'future operating system' is also dead. I originally thought it could represent the domestic system and the WIN system board, but now I doubt whether Phoenix Computer will stop production!"

"It's outrageous, it's outrageous! I'm really speechless. Is it true that domestic technology companies will be blocked if they are even slightly top-notch in the chip industry?"

"What bullshit poses a threat to America's network security and violates personal privacy. I laughed when I saw it. America's excuses for all companies are exactly the same. Either privacy is violated or military cooperation!"

"MMP, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Phoenix's 'operating system' and 'Tiger Leap Chip' have broken the monopoly of the Americas and made the capitalists in the Americas panic. Last time it was Huawei's 5G technology and high-end mobile phones. , this time it's the turn of Phoenix's chip technology and operating system!"

"Hey! What can we do about this? We are too far behind in the field of chips. Although we have caught up a lot in these years, there is no way to do it on the lithography machine..."

"Hey, I hope Phoenix can stand up, Phoenix come on!"

"..."

There was a lot of scolding on the Internet. Apart from the protest and anger against America, more netizens also chose to support Phoenix with actions!
After learning the news that Phoenix was blocked, many netizens immediately ordered various products of Phoenix on the Internet, such as bicycles, electric scooters, computers...

In particular, Phoenix Computer has won strong support from the majority of netizens under the almost obvious target!
But just when netizens spontaneously supported Phoenix Computer on the Internet, news of sales promotions that appeared suddenly spread wildly on the Internet and spread rapidly.

At the very beginning, there was a price adjustment notice for Hongguo Notebook Airbook on the official website of Hongguo!

"In order to give back to the customers who have always supported Hongguo, with the approval of the group, the original price of Hongguo notebook Airbook is now reduced from 7999 yuan to 7099 yuan..."

Just half an hour after the price adjustment notice on Hongguo's official website, several foreign computer host manufacturers also released price adjustment policies one after another.

"To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hewlett-Packard (Yanguo), the company launched..."

"Price cuts because..."

"..."

The top ten notebook host manufacturers in the world, except Huawei notebooks and rice notebooks have slightly adjusted prices, all other brands have greatly reduced prices at unimaginable preferential prices of 500-1000 yuan!
After careful sorting by netizens, the model with the biggest promotional discounts from the manufacturers is the model with the same configuration as the Phoenix "Starry Sky Edition" at 6599 yuan and "Starry Sky SE Edition" at 4599 yuan.

Originally, the performance of the I7 required more than 7000 yuan for a computer, but the price dropped to around 6200 yuan!
As for the Xingkong SE version, the computer with the same configuration and performance is reduced to 4200 yuan!
Jingdong Shopping, Suning, Taobao, Pinxixi, and almost all the large-scale shopping websites in Yanguo have adjusted their prices in real time, and a large number of advertisements for preferential activities have also been placed on various platforms.

All of a sudden, the discount rate of double 11 has surprised all netizens, and the huge discount rate has attracted many consumers who want to buy computers.

And most of the netizens also understood that this nima is united against Phoenix Computer and completely squeezed Phoenix Computer out of the game at a low price!

Take advantage of others!

Get down!

but……

When preferential prices and preferential activities are displayed in front of countless netizens who just need to buy computers...

Many netizens who are willing to support Phoenix Computer, seeing that the price of their favorite brand is suddenly so low at this time, and then seeing that the price of Phoenix is ​​obviously higher by several hundred yuan, hesitate!
That's right, hesitated!

I have to say, this is murder!
Don't you want to support Phoenix Computer?Then buy it for hundreds of dollars!
"Murderous people... I really can't imagine, who has the energy to make so many manufacturers unite to cut prices, just to target Phoenix Computer?"

"Didn't you see? Even Hongguo, which has never lowered its price, lowered the price for Phoenix high-end computers. It can be seen that Hongguo is determined to suppress Phoenix computers this time. I suspect that this price reduction is led by Hongguo, just to completely eliminate Phoenix computers. Get down..."

"Hey! Although it is despicable to lower the price while others are in danger, I have to say that it is indeed above the seven inches of the Phoenix computer. My uncle originally wanted to buy a Phoenix notebook to support it. In the end, the idea computer was reduced by 1000 yuan. , I still bought a concept computer!"

"...Killing the heart! Killing the heart! After this combination of punches, Phoenix Computer will have no sales in a month!"

"Hey, I don't know how Phoenix will deal with it..."

……

Phoenix Group Headquarters.

Although Hu Lai had asked Zhang Feiyang to appease the various departments early in the morning, the sudden news still shocked the Phoenix executives.

Especially in the newly established Phoenix IT department, almost everyone fell into deep despair.

The self-produced Huyue 140 chip can no longer be produced, and Nvidia's graphics cards have been banned from sale. It is now a luxury for the Phoenix IT department to assemble a high-end notebook.

And the latest news from the market made them even more desperate...

As Phoenix Computer's low-profile SE version that is not affected by chips, it has also begun to suffer from the joint strangling of major host manufacturers. This kind of promotional suppression is undoubtedly fatal to Phoenix Computer, which has just started.

In the meeting room!

The executives of the Phoenix IT department were summoned by Hu Lai, and everyone looked at each other and sighed.

"I believe everyone has seen the news that just came out in the afternoon. Now HP, LG, Dell and other manufacturers have launched price reduction promotions for our 'Starry Sky' series..."

"Now, we Phoenix Computer must think of a way, what do you think?"

Everyone's complexion is a bit ugly.

I have to say that this time the opponent is very smart and quick to respond, using the simplest and most effective price reduction strategy to suppress Phoenix Computer.

Phoenix will either follow the price cuts, and the profit will be greatly reduced. Phoenix will not be profitable, and its competitiveness will become smaller and smaller after the final replacement.

Either insist on not lowering the price, then it is foreseeable that the sales of Phoenix Computer will be greatly reduced!
No matter what, it was a dead end for Phoenix Computer.

"Boss, the entire industry is cutting prices now. If we don't cut prices, sales will definitely be affected. I suggest that we can also lower the price to stabilize the sales of the SE version." An executive said.

"Price reduction? Old Liu, price reduction is not an option. There is no new chip for replacement, and price reduction will be a dead end in the end!"

"Hey! That's no way! Although price reduction is a dead end, if you don't lower the price, you will die immediately. How do you choose?"

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire meeting room became more dull.

"I'm so fucking speechless. Seeing that the 'Starry Sky' series has such a good reputation, I didn't expect to be raped like this... I really don't want Bilian!"

"There is no way, our Phoenix Computer has smashed Inet's bowl and dug up the roots of Microsoft. It is normal to be blocked. Boss, we can only take one step at a time. Let's cut the price first to keep the sales of the SE version!"

There were no quarrels in the conference room, and the current situation was hard to break no matter how you looked at it.

Without advanced chips and the introduction of continuously updated chip technology, Phoenix Computer is nothing more than a question of whether it will die sooner or later.

While expressing their opinions in a few words, the executives also glanced at Hu Lai directly above from time to time.

They were surprised to find that Hu Lai didn't look anxious at all when Phoenix Computer was in a near-death situation.

He just smiled, without any anxiety or panic, and looked completely confident.

For a while.

After all the high-level executives expressed their opinions and the conference room became quiet, Hu Lai said with a smile:

"I know everyone's thoughts, but you don't have to worry too much."

"We currently only have the 'Starry Sky' series of Phoenix laptops. I suggest that we can develop another series, which is more professional workbooks."

"As for the price reduction that everyone talked about, I have also considered it. Since other console manufacturers also lowered their prices to target us, then we should follow suit..."

Having said that, Hu Lai showed a mysterious smile.

"As for the Tiger Leap 140 chip, I have found a solution, so don't worry."

"Our high-end computers will not be discontinued, nor will they be restricted. So, next, please quickly come up with the promotional plan for Phoenix Computer. Since they have made trouble, no wonder we are so ruthless!"

"Nothing else, let's get busy, the meeting is over!"

Following Hu Lai's forceful "dismissal of the meeting", the senior executives suddenly raised their heads with disbelief on their faces.

what?
Found a solution for...the Tiger Leap 140 chip? !

How is this possible!
The Huyue 140 chip needs a 14nm lithography machine to produce it!
Could it be that SMIC can also help Phoenix OEM chips for Phoenix Group despite the American embargo?

This is clearly not possible!

It only costs a few dollars to help Phoenix manufacture chips. Once SMIC violates the American ban, then SMIC will be punished by thunder!
There were all sorts of doubts in everyone's mind, but seeing Hu Lai leaving the conference room one step earlier, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

But soon, everyone came to their senses, with excited and unbelievable expressions in their eyes.

Is it?

Is it the 521 laboratory of the Phoenix Research Institute that developed the Tiger Leap chip and the NB-Y architecture?
Has Lab 521 found a way to make a 14nm chip?

……

Hu Lai determined the price reduction strategy of Phoenix Computer at the Phoenix headquarters.

And the other side.

SMIC Headquarters.

As the most advanced chip foundry in China (mainland), SMIC has 14nm lithography machines and 28nm lithography machines.

Since Phoenix's first NB-Y architecture chip was manufactured by SMIC, the relationship between the two companies has been good.

now.

Director Zhang has come to Mr. Liang Song's office with the "Huyue 280D" chip design drawings.

Factory Manager Zhang put a Phoenix "Starry Sky" notebook on his desk, and the computer software ran through the "computing power network". In less than ten seconds, a professional EDA tool finished running, and complex electronic circuit diagrams appeared in front of him. .

"Mr. Liang, you have been watching for four hours. Can you confirm that SMIC can do this packaging technology?"

Liang Song rubbed his swollen eyes and stared at the screen for a long time. The dense circuit diagrams and structural analysis diagrams made his vision double.

However, compared with the visual soreness and ghosting, it is more shocking from the bottom of my heart.

"The Phoenix Group... has a reason for its sudden and rapid rise, and its reputation is well-deserved."

As the top chip leader in Yan Country, he has seen too many architectures and packaging technologies.

He never expected that Phoenix would come up with a brand new packaging technology so soon after the NB-Y architecture!
As a foundry, SMIC naturally has its own unique technology, but its own technology, under the packaging technology in front of it, is a younger brother.

"TSS-3.5D vertical chip stacking packaging technology... Not surprisingly, such a dual-chip stacking technology will definitely improve chip performance..."

Although it is not clear how much improvement the stacked packaging technology can bring, he is secretly surprised by the exquisite internal design.

After sighing in his heart, he remembered the anxious director Zhang next to him.

"Director Zhang, although this is the first time we have seen this packaging technology, we can do it if there are no accidents!"

"but……"
