Rebuild 2005

In the afternoon, Yan Xuan had already arrived at the headquarters of the ancient poetry company, and Wei Qingfan made tea in his office, accompanied by Tang Tingyue and Zhao Haiming.

After expressing congratulations to Mr. Wei on his wedding, and the joy that the ancient poetry mobile phone is becoming more and more popular, the four of them looked forward to the bright future of cooperation in the future. After some chatter, Yan Xuan finally got down to business: "Listen Say you are designing mobile phone processors yourself, how is the progress?"

"President Yan is very well informed."

Wei Qingfan laughed in a joking tone, "We haven't even started yet, so you know everything?"

Yan Xuan said with a smile: "The news from the headquarters told me to find out. I was taken aback. Mr. Wei is so courageous!"

"This is also impossible."

Wei Qingfan sighed, "Your side has good performance, but it's expensive. MediaTek's is cheaper, and the performance is much worse than yours. It's also expensive to always customize it. It's not a solution."

This is to show that Gushici has no intention of replacing Qualcomm's high-end processors, but only wants to develop low-end processors to replace MediaTek processors, thereby saving high customization costs.

"Wei always does great things, with great ambitions, great courage, and of course great abilities."

Qualcomm's monopoly position has not yet been established, and Yan Xuan is only the head of a branch, so he is very polite to Wei Qingfan, a big customer with unlimited potential.

He complimented a few words, and then continued: "In front of Mr. Wei, I'm not lying. We are preparing to adjust the product line. In the future, we will divide more clearly and clearly product grades, which are probably entry-level, mid-range, high-end, and high-end. Flagship four grades.

"We have processors with sufficient performance and cheap enough to meet the needs of products at different price points. There is absolutely no need for your company to invest so much money in research and development of processors.

"Moreover, we can promise that as long as Gushici Company abandons its self-developed processors and adopts all our products, we can give your company the best price."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wei Qingfan sincerely.

Wei Qingfan showed hesitation, and Zhao Haiming next to him said at the right time: "Mr. Yan means that we stop the research and development of processors, and after that, all products will only use your company's processors, so we can get discounts?"

Yan Xuan nodded with a smile and said: "Large quantity is good, and we are old friends. Since the establishment of Gushici Company, we have established a good cooperative relationship."

Tang Tingyue said with a smile: "I don't know how much discount can be given by Mr. Yan?"

"Is this..."

Yan Xuan smiled, "I haven't received the exact news from the headquarters, but I believe that based on the relationship between us, it will definitely be much cheaper than when we sell to other companies, and I will definitely try my best to get the most substantial discount."

This is equivalent to saying nothing.

"I have never advocated developing processors by myself, it is too risky."

Tang Tingyue also followed the nonsense and said half-truth, "But the price of custom processors is too expensive, and the Chinese market can't support the high price. Of course, there are also reasons for us. Our foundation is too weak... If we can enter the North American market, sales will definitely increase significantly, and your company's sales of high-end processors will naturally be higher..."

He took the opportunity to ask Qualcomm to help make connections, and wanted to enter the ugly country market.

In fact, this matter has been discussed, and Qualcomm has not refused. This is good for them, but it is not very positive.

"..."

Yan Xuan didn't expect him to go around and come to this matter, he laughed and said: "Of course I hope that the sales of ancient poetry mobile phones will be as high as possible. This is also good for us. We are a The people on the boat, but in this matter, I am a soft-spoken person..."

He still dumped the blame on the headquarters.

The two sides chatted for more than half an hour, but no one gave an accurate answer. They both expressed their embarrassment and their intention to continue and strengthen cooperation. At least they still seemed to be very harmonious.

"You who are riding a horse, you want to be a white wolf with nothing!"

After sending the person away, Zhao Haiming couldn't help but cursed when he returned to Wei Qingfan's office.

From top to bottom, the mobile phone supply chain faces different manufacturers with different prices. Although there are "market prices", the specific transaction prices are not transparent and belong to commercial secrets. Wei Qingfan and the others were kicked in the head by donkeys Only then will I believe the promise of "definitely cheaper than others".

These big companies' small tricks in similar areas, digging holes and setting up traps, can be said to be very good at playing, and they have to guard against it when dealing with them.

"Indeed, self-developed processors must not be stopped."

Tang Tingyue also sighed. He originally did not support self-developed processors. The risk was too great. Even if Wei Qingfan pushed it down, he could not stop him, but deep down he still disagreed. He felt that Zhang Yuanping was too ambitious and Wei Qingfan was young Dezhi is a little impetuous.

However, what happened just now directly shattered his inherent cognition. The Gushici company has just started research and development, and has not yet completed it. Qualcomm came to discuss preferential terms when it got the news.

This made him fully aware of the meaning of "there is a world difference between having and not having it". As long as it is developed, even if it can only be used on low-end products, it is still a major bargaining chip.

Hold this thing in your hand, it is a nuclear weapon, even if it is not advanced enough, it has a strong deterrent effect.

Of course, when Tang Tingyue said this, there was actually a second half of the sentence: "If the research and development can be successful."

Because Zhang Yuanping had a hot temper and he was even more busy, Wei Qingfan didn't call him just now, and only let him and the members of the Strategic Research Office come over after the chat here, and had a brief meeting.

"The self-developed processor must continue to be developed, and it must be well-known, but at the same time, we must also improve the relationship with the upstream partner manufacturers."

Wei Qingfan emphasized this principle again, and asked Zhang Yuanping about the specific progress. Knowing that he was still in the stage of studying the semi-finished product of Datang, he comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry, just salvage the foundation. We don't want to do it for a long time. out of the processor, but to really master this ability.

"Since Qualcomm already knows about it, there is no need to do any secrecy work, let's go back to normal."

He sighed, and said again: "If you want money, I will try my best to give it. If you want people, you can recruit them. If you can't get them, tell me and I'll talk... I only have one request, make something for me. "

Zhang Yuanping said: "I still say the same thing, by the end of next year at the latest, I will definitely stream the film for you."

"Row."

Frankly speaking, although Wei Qingfan knew Zhang Yuanping's ability, he really didn't have much confidence in his guarantee. Even if there was already a semi-finished product, it was not an easy task to understand and finish it, let alone a period of time in later generations. The so-called "public version" and "no core technology" on the Internet are nonsense.

How many companies in the world can develop processors, and they are still only mobile phone processors?
For a technology company that caters to mass consumers, this is the core technology of the core technology!

"You don't seem to have much confidence?"

When the meeting was over, Wei Qingfan returned to the office. While he was thinking, Jiang Qinghuai came in, brewed a pot of Biluochun for him, put it in front of him, and asked softly.

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's that this thing is too difficult."

Wei Qingfan sighed, and laughed again, "If it is true what Zhang Yuanping said, and the film can be successfully released by the end of next year at the latest, then I am willing to worship him as a Bodhisattva..."

Jiang Qinghuai motioned for him to drink tea, and said, "I don't think Mr. Zhang's character is like a big talker. He has said it several times, so he should be very sure?"

"This kind of thing is like doing a math problem. If you know it, you will, and if you don't, you won't."

Wei Qingfan picked up the tea cup and sniffed it, and praised: "It smells so good, Qingqing's tea art is getting better and better..."

Nowadays, "tea art" has no derogatory meaning.

"That's also thanks to the tea, why praise me?"

Jiang Qinghuai gave him a blank look, and tidied up the desktop and files for him.

"And the time is too tight."

Wei Qingfan took two sips of tea, leaned on the back of the chair and continued, "If it takes too long, on the one hand, the capital consumption is too exaggerated; It was a big blow too... I hope Zhang Yuanping won't keep saying that."

His bottom line is that he hopes that the self-developed processor that can be used in 2015, no matter how bad it is, will be backed by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810.

Of course, what is required by 2015 is not semi-finished products, but must be fully self-developed processors.

If Zhang Yuanping can really successfully tape out in 2013, then in 2014 he can launch a truly self-developed processor, and by 2015 it will be the third generation of self-developed processor.

On the premise that a lot of work can be saved without doing baseband, how can it have a certain degree of enthusiasm, right?
Don't expect to be able to step on Apple to punch Samsung, or even dare to get down on Kirin 950, which is better than Snapdragon 810, one of the worst in history, can it always be done?
"There is no doubt about the employment."

Jiang Qinghuai smiled at him. She was wearing a white striped shirt and a black skirt. Under the skirt, her slender and well-proportioned legs were wrapped in black silk. She looked like a working secretary.

Because it's a professional attire, it can't be too loose. It's a casual style. It's relatively self-cultivating, outlining her slender waist, and also slightly showing some arcs from the proud peaks that have been hidden all the time. With the slender waist and pure and sweet face, she is particularly beautiful and moving.

Mr. Wei had just exhausted his mind and energy for the business, and his willpower had dropped a lot. Suddenly, he couldn't hold back. He looked at her treacherously, and said with a smile: "Qingqing, I found that there seems to be something wrong with this tea."

Jiang Qinghuai wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Unable to speak."

After thinking for a while, Wei Qingfan said with a frown, and then motioned to her, "Try it."

"..."

Jiang Qinghuai looked at him suspiciously, walked over, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, "There's nothing wrong."

"Try again."

Wei Qingfan put his arms around her and said with a smile, "Drink more."

Jiang Qinghuai glanced at him, but obediently followed his advice and drank some more tea.

"I know, the way to drink is wrong."

Wei Qingfan hugged her tightly and leaned closer, "Feed me...the taste will be right..."

"Um...not horizontal...uh..."

Mr. Wei tasted tea seriously, didn't waste it at all, tried his best to drink all the fragrant tea that belonged to him, and knew how to repay it. After taking a sip, he let go of the already limp female secretary, and said with a smile: "I'll give you a sip. taste..."

As he spoke, he took a sip from the cup and turned his head to feed back.

"I do not……"

Jiang Qinghuai blushed and wanted to dodge, but was quickly caught, protesting and enjoying his new cup.
