Chapter 453: Suppress Xingyi Technology? Acquire VIA! (Monthly Tickets Plus)
"Fuck, what kind of godly opponent did we at Qualcomm encounter?"

"With the R&D and design of 40-nanometer chips and mass production of chips, and the possession of two wafer fabs, Xingyi Technology is fully realizing its own chip research and production. This is going to be a success!"

After Jacob finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent.

Yes, Xingyi Technology is too powerful, so powerful that it is terrifying!
Qualcomm can only design chips, but Xingyi Semiconductor can design and produce chips!

And they built two wafer fabs quietly!
There is simply no way to seek justice.

The former big customer has turned into the strongest competitor!
This left all Qualcomm executives and directors completely confused.

After a long while, Jacob sighed: "Xingyi Technology is too powerful, and too scary. We can't let them continue to develop like this!"

"That's right. We must take action to curb it. Otherwise, if Xingyi Semiconductor develops and produces its own products, what will happen to Qualcomm?"

Other senior executives also spoke up and offered suggestions:

“Since chip design and chip mass production cannot curb Xingyi Technology, what about packaging and testing?”

"Yes, packaging and testing are fine, right? As long as packaging and testing are curbed, the chips produced by Xingyi Wafer Factory cannot be used!"

But then, someone else shook his head:

"Packaging and testing is even worse. There are too many packaging and testing companies now. Even if we convince ASE to refuse to provide packaging and testing services to Xingyi Semiconductor, other packaging and testing giants will not refuse!"

"More importantly, Xingyi Technology acquired ASE's Shanghai packaging and testing plant, and it is highly likely that it has mastered the 40-nanometer packaging and testing capabilities. It can completely do its own packaging and testing, and there is no way to stop it."

"???"

"!!!"

For a moment, the entire conference room was stunned again.

Even Qualcomm Chairman Jacobs was shocked:
"In addition to chip R&D and design, and chip production, they have even managed chip packaging and testing? Are you sure?"

"Confirmed. According to the information from ASE, Xingyi Technology has already mastered the 40-nanometer packaging and testing technology!"

Everyone was silent collectively: "..."

The man continued, "It was said that it was made accidentally..."

"!!!"

"Fake!"

"Damn it!"

"hateful!"

"Oh, God! What kind of divine opponent is this?"

For a moment, the whole house was in chaos and people were talking about all kinds of things.

Now, everyone couldn't bear it anymore.

"Fuck! Xingyi Technology is cheating!"

"It's unscientific. It's totally unscientific!"

Only Jacob had a gloomy face and remained silent, his complexion extremely dark.

After a long while, Jacob sighed: "Chip design, chip mass production, chip packaging and testing! Xingyi Technology has mastered them all!"

"What kind of divine opponent have we encountered?"

"too frightening!"

However, someone else said, "Not only that, Xingyi Technology also has the Xingyi mobile phones that rank among the top four in global sales, and the Xingyi tablet that ranks first in global sales!"

"???"

"!!!"

Everyone was shocked again.

Jacob's mouth twitched: "Xingyi mobile phone sales have ranked among the top four in the world? Is it that scary?"

The executive nodded: "Yes, the sales volume of Xingyi mobile phones is second only to Samsung in first place, Nokia in second place, and Apple in third place!"

Jacob frowned, "Isn't that right? Isn't the Xingyi mobile phone only sold in Xia Country? How come the sales volume is so high?"

The vice president who had been silent all this time sighed, "They now have three hot-selling mobile phones, Xphone 1, Xphone 1pro, and Xphone 2. They range from two to three thousand to five to six thousand, and each one is a hit. The total sales of the three models in Xia Country have exceeded million units. This does not include the sales of parallel imports smuggled overseas."

"If we include all the parallel import sales, there are still tens of millions. The sales of Xingyi mobile phones may surpass the iPhone and become the third in the world!"

"This..." Jacob was silent: "How can a country like Xia have such a large market?"

Currently, Samsung’s annual mobile phone sales have exceeded 3 million, and Nokia’s annual sales are also around million.

But the prerequisite is that their sales are global sales and are sold worldwide.

The Xingyi mobile phone is mainly sold in Xia country, with only tens of millions of parallel imports sold overseas at most.

Logically speaking, it is impossible to sell hundreds of millions of units!

The vice president had a complicated expression: "Xia is only one country, but it has one-fifth of the world's population, and its spending power is not bad. In Xia, rich people will buy Xphone 1pro and Xphone 2, and poor people will buy Xphone 1 which costs two or three thousand!"

"In the past year, we sold more than 8064 million dual-core chips to Xingyi Technology. APQ 3 chips also sold 1.4 million. Add in Nvidia Tegra chips, including parallel imports, and the actual sales of Xingyi phones are probably as high as million!"

"1.4 million! This sales volume may exceed Apple's! Apple's annual sales volume is only about 1.3 million."

“It really surpasses the iPhone, but how is this possible?”

"Nothing is impossible. iPhone launches one model per year, and Xingyi Mobile launches three models per year, which is better than iPhone!"

"That's right. A single iPhone model can sell nearly 100 million units, while the Xingyi mobile phone is only sold in Xia Country, and a single model can only sell 40 to 50 million units. But don't forget, they have three models a year!"

"If a single model is not enough, we can make up for it with quantity. With Xingyi Technology's R&D speed and new product launch speed, Samsung is exhausted and HTC is desperate!"

Jacob was shocked. "So Xingyi Technology is too powerful. From chip R&D and design, to chip mass production, to chip packaging and testing, to commercial use of mobile phones and tablets, it has sold over 100 million... It has directly achieved a full range of closed loops!"

For a moment, Jacob didn't know what to say about Xingyi Technology.

At first, I thought Xingyi Technology was just a small brand in Xia country, but it defeated iPhone in the blink of an eye!

I thought he was just an assembler of mobile phones, but in the blink of an eye, he developed the Yilong 3000 baseband, Kunpeng 702, and Kunpeng 700 SOC!

I thought it was just a chip design company, but in the blink of an eye, it built a wafer fab and quietly achieved self-developed and self-produced 40 chips!

I thought it was just a wafer fab, but in the blink of an eye they developed packaging and testing technology and acquired the ASE Shanghai Packaging and Testing Factory, thus realizing a one-stop closed-loop industrial chain of chip design, chip production, and chip packaging and testing!
Fake!

There is no justice!
It's really unfair!
Jacob was furious and on the verge of collapse.

The vice president sighed: "Xingyi Technology is too strong, and the entire industrial chain is closed. It is extremely difficult for us to take action against them!"

"Yes, I suggest that we should still cooperate." Du Jie Yima, a senior executive in the marketing department, couldn't help but say.

In an instant, everyone fell silent and looked at Dujie Yima with interest.

Although no one said anything, the meaning was very clear.

Such a powerful enemy is also a customer. If we can cooperate, it is better not to become enemies.

"How do we cooperate?" Jacob asked.

If Xingyi Technology is easy to control, he doesn't care and will just find a way to kill Xingyi Technology in the cradle.

But unfortunately, Xingyi Technology is now fully grown, with a closed loop of the entire industrial chain, and it is no longer something that Qualcomm can easily control.

Unless the American imperialist machinery is used.

However, this kind of machine involves too many aspects and will not be used casually unless it involves the strategic interests of the United States.

Even Qualcomm doesn't have this capability.

More importantly, we cannot completely break off relations with the Xia Kingdom at the moment and we still have to cooperate.

Therefore, even if Qualcomm lobby, it will be meaningless.

Since we can't contain it, we might as well take the opportunity to cooperate.

If you can't beat them, just join them. It's not shameful.

Du Jie Yima said: "At present, Xingyi Technology only masters the research and development and design of 40-nanometer chips, but not the research and development and design of 28-nanometer chips. This is our opportunity."

"What if Xingyi Semiconductor has already started developing 28-nanometer chips?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Du Jie Yima is not worried at all: "28-nanometer chips are not that easy to develop. Xingyi Semiconductor has only recently completed the 40-nanometer Kunpeng 702 and Kunpeng 700. It will take at least a year to develop the next-generation 28-nanometer Kunpeng flagship chip, which is October next year."

"Our Snapdragon 800 will be released in January next year and will be available in April. It will be more than 8064% higher than the APQ 40 and completely beat the Kunpeng 702! By then, Xingyi Technology's 28nm flagship will be half a year late. Xingyi mobile phones can't wait and will have to continue to purchase our Snapdragon 800!"

"As long as we maintain the cooperation, in half a year, based on the current sales volume of Xingyi mobile phones, we can sell at least 800 million more Snapdragon 6000 units, or even 7000 million more!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and began to calculate the pros and cons.

Du Jie Yima continued, "This is the current situation. If we break off relations with Xingyi Technology, Xingyi's new flagship phone next year would rather purchase Nvidia Tegra 4 than our Snapdragon 800. But if we maintain cooperation, we can still sell 6000 to 7000 million more Snapdragon 800 chips to Xingyi Technology!"

Jacob nodded: "You are right. Breaking up with Xingyi Technology is equivalent to pushing Xingyi Technology into the hands of NVIDIA. Then the 7000 million chip order will fall on NVIDIA!"

"I seriously suspect that Huang is just waiting for us to break up with Xingyi Technology. They are selling Nvidia Tegra 4 in huge quantities!"

Other senior executives also spoke up: "Yes, I am worried about that too."

"Old Huang has been eyeing orders from Xingyi Technology for a long time. We can't be fooled."

"Not only must we not break up with Xingyi Technology, but we must maintain good cooperation and give the first launch of Snapdragon 800 to Xingyi Technology. We must not let Huang succeed!"

Jacob nodded. "Okay, let's do it. Speed ​​up the development and testing of Snapdragon 800, and strive to release it at CES in January next year, and put it into production in April. As for Xingyi Technology, maintain a good relationship. After all, their Xphone 1 and Xingyi Tablet X1 are still using our dual-core chips, and have not switched to Kunpeng. The cooperative relationship cannot be broken."

Qualcomm doesn't want to give up the huge order of 7000 million chips.

But what they didn't know was that Xingyi Technology had already started developing its own 28nm chip and was progressing rapidly.

Wang Yi didn't bother to pay attention to Qualcomm's ideas.

He only prepares for the worst possible outcome.

Therefore, from the very beginning, we laid out chip research and development, chip mass production, and the current chip packaging and testing technology.

The main focus is to create a closed loop of the entire industrial chain, which cannot be blocked by the other party.

Unless you get a lithography machine.

But if the other party does so, Xia State also has countermeasures.

Restricting the export of gallium and germanium is enough to cause pain to the other party.

Gallium and germanium are essential rare metal materials in the fields of semiconductors, military, communication equipment and new energy.

85% of the world's gallium and 60% of germanium are produced in Xiaguo.

Once Xia controls exports, the whole world will panic.

Perhaps European and American giants can buy small amounts of gallium and germanium from other places, but the cost would be several times higher.

And as time goes by, the cost gets higher and higher.

If the cost is high, the cost of chips will skyrocket, and the competitiveness of Western semiconductor giants will drop significantly.

For example, after the restrictions, the cost of Qualcomm chips has doubled. A set of APQ 250 chips + baseband that currently costs 8064 yuan will have to be sold for 500 yuan.

However, Xingyi Semiconductor's Kunpeng 702 SOC is not affected by the price increase of gallium and germanium. The cost remains unchanged and it is still sold at 250. Then who would still pay twice the price to buy Qualcomm?
If this continues, they will be useless in a few years.

More importantly, this is just a microcosm.

Once comprehensive restrictions are imposed, many foreign semiconductor companies will not be able to withstand rising costs and market declines and will go bankrupt one after another.

It is precisely for this reason that, since the restrictions in the past, domestic chips have continued to increase their market share despite their backward technology.

The market share of overseas chip companies continues to decline.

If domestic chip technology catches up and another wave of sanctions are imposed on gallium and germanium, foreign companies will really have no chance of survival.

You cut off my lithography machine.

I’ll make it impossible for you to buy raw materials!

What Wang Yi wants to do is to make Xingyi Semiconductor continue to grow and develop.

Become the number one semiconductor giant in Xia Country.

At that time, you will sanction Xingyi Semiconductor,

Then we will also regulate gallium and germanium in the same way.

If Xingyi Semiconductor does not develop rapidly and grow bigger and is just a small company, I am afraid it will not have the capital.

In the afternoon, Wang Yi came to the mobile phone chip department.

George is leading his team in the research and development of Kunpeng 901 and Kunpeng 902 SOCs.

"Chairman, you are here." George put down the work in his hands and came forward.

It can be seen that the great victory of Kunpeng 702 and Kunpeng 700 has brought him considerable pressure.

The previous generation was so successful. If Kunpeng 902 fails, there will be no excuse.

More importantly, Kunpeng 902 is the first flagship chip that George is independently responsible for, which is of great significance to George.

If he fails, it will have a lifelong impact, and even his semiconductor career will be cut short.

No company will ever pay attention to a failed R&D manager again.

After all, chip research and development requires huge investments of money and time, and cannot afford to fail.

"How is the progress of Kunpeng 902?" Wang Yi asked.

"Chairman, the CPU is progressing smoothly. After all, it is not developed from scratch. Instead, it is modified and upgraded on Kunpeng 702 to make a 6-core A53 with a main frequency of 2G. It is not difficult. It has been completed and there are no problems with the tests."

"As for the GPU, although it has been replaced with Mali-T658 mp4, it is also an ARM public version architecture, so it is not difficult. We expect to complete the integration by the end of next month. By then, Kunpeng 901 will be ready. We will test it in January and if there are no problems, we can arrange for tape-out."

Wang Yi was very satisfied with this progress.

If you develop your own GPU architecture, I don’t know whether it will have strong performance, but it will definitely be very time-consuming.

Now Xingyi Semiconductor is in the process of catching up with Qualcomm, and what it lacks most is time. Naturally, it would be faster to use the public version directly.

If we develop our own GPU architecture, it will be September next year. Even if we develop it by then, it will be too late.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 will be released in September next year, which is two generations behind.

On the contrary, the public version architecture is better. And the public version is not necessarily rubbish. As long as it is optimized in place and don't be greedy, the public version is also very powerful.

"How is the progress of 4G baseband?" Wang Yi asked.

"Director Pang's 4G baseband is also progressing smoothly and is expected to be completed by the end of December."

George said: "In this way, in January, we can start integrating the baseband and build the Kunpeng 902 SOC!"

“Integration and testing will be completed in February, and if everything goes well, we will be able to tape out in early March.”

Wang Yi nodded: "Very good, keep going, I believe in your strength!"

At this pace, if it succeeds in one go, mass production will be possible by the end of March, and the new phone will be available on the market by the end of April!

In this way, although it is taped out three months later than Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, it can be launched at almost the same time.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 was released in January, but mass production, procurement by major brands, and adaptation all take time.

Therefore, mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 800 will not be available on the market until April, or even May or June, and will not be available on the market on a large scale until the second half of the year.

The advantage of Xingyi Technology is its own chips, and it has a more thorough understanding of various parameters.

We can start adaptation directly after tape-out in early March, and the R&D team will fully support the tuning and adaptation.

Therefore, the new phone will be launched at the end of April!
Such high efficiency is far beyond the reach of other brands.

After all, other brands have to wait until Qualcomm goes into mass production and gets the mass-produced chips before they can start adapting, and the adaptation is also difficult.

In this way, even if the Kunpeng 902 SOC is taped out later, it can be launched on the market at about the same time, which is a huge advantage.

"Very good. Develop the Kunpeng 902 SOC as soon as possible. As long as you succeed, we won't have to purchase any Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chips."

Wang Yi said earnestly: "But if you fail, then the Xphone 2 Pro will have to purchase Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800!"

"Don't worry, Chairman, we will succeed!" George said confidently.

This is the first flagship chip he is independently responsible for, and only success is allowed, not failure.

Wang Yi then visited the 4G baseband department, and the progress was also smooth.

With the foundation of 3G baseband, Pang Liguo was very adept at making 4G baseband.

This team was responsible for baseband research and development when they were at VMware.

It’s not that they are not strong enough, but that HTC is reluctant to invest money.

How can you make the horse run without letting it eat enough?
Shine for love?

The result was that outstanding talents from the entire team kept leaving, leaving only veterans like Pang Liguo to struggle and fail to accomplish anything.

Later, he was recruited by Wang Yi, who invested huge amounts of money and gave him full support.

Not only did Pang Liguo and others give their all, but many of the talents who had left before also came to the imperial capital and joined the baseband department.

With the addition of newly recruited industry experts and talents, the baseband department has more and more talents. Not only has it successfully completed the 3G baseband, but the 4G baseband has also made rapid progress.

If this momentum continues, Kunpeng 901 without integrated baseband will be scheduled for tape-out by the end of January.

The one with integrated baseband is estimated to be released in March.

In addition, with its own chips and integrated baseband, it is easy to adapt, and it can definitely be a latecomer and be launched simultaneously with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 phones!

By then, Xingyi Semiconductor will have truly stood up.

Compared with the current Kunpeng 702 SOC and Qualcomm APQ 8064, it is a - match, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The Kunpeng 702 SOC integrates a 3G baseband, but uses a 40nm process.

Qualcomm APQ 8064 28nm process is more powerful, but it does not have an integrated baseband and its performance is 702% lower than Kunpeng 10.

Generally speaking, both sides have their own advantages. Kunpeng 702 was launched half a year later and has more advantages.

But the next generation, Kunpeng 902 SOC, 28nm process, integrated 4G baseband, powerful performance!

Even compared with Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon 800, it has no shortcomings and even completely crushes it.

毕竟6核A53，理论上能碾压骁龙800的4核A15。

至于GPU，Mali-T658 mp4碾压骁龙800、801的Adreno 330，也没压力。

The key lies in the strength of George's team and whether they can turn theory into reality!
Afterwards, Wang Yi went to the PC chip department next door.

After the successful development of Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 702, Williams, a veteran, retired and joined the PC chip department, where he formed a team and started developing CPUs.

PC is also an indispensable layout for Xingyi Technology in the future.

After this period of development and Williams' appeal, many professional talents were recruited.

Now Xingyi PC chip department has a large number of personnel and is gradually improving.

Especially those who worked on PCs at Texas Instruments. Because Texas Instruments shifted its focus and marginalized its PC business, their career development was affected and they left one after another.

Now that Xingyi Technology is planning to develop PCs and has Williams' endorsement, those former PC veterans of Texas Instruments have also been persuaded to join.

After all, I'm over 40 years old. If I don't seize the opportunity and make some achievements, this will be the end of my life.

Especially seeing the success of Kunpeng 702 SOC, which crushed Qualcomm APQ 8064 and Williams became a legend in one battle, others couldn't sit still.

I also want to join the Xingyi PC department and make a powerful CPU to compete with Intel and AMD.

Even if we cannot surpass them completely, as long as we can catch up with the previous generation, we will be strong enough.

Next year, Intel will release the fourth-generation i3, i5, and i7.

They can produce a product with performance comparable to the third-generation i7, which is powerful enough.

As a follower, if we can shorten the generation gap to within two generations, it will be considered a great success.

Williams introduced several old friends to Wang Yi, then frowned:

"Chairman, if Xingyi PC wants to develop, it must support the Windows system, which means our CPU must be X86 architecture! But unfortunately, X86 is a closed architecture, monopolized by Intel and AMD, and will not be licensed to others."

According to Wang Yi's PC layout, he does not plan to go the single Windows route, but a dual-system version.

It supports both Windows and integrates the self-developed XOS system.

There is no other way. If it is not compatible with Windows, it will be difficult to promote Xingyi computers and Xingyi notebooks.

Even for Apple laptops, most users will directly install a dual system with Windows when they buy it, otherwise many software will be unusable and many games will be unplayable.

In the PC field, Windows is still the absolute dominant player.

If you want to completely replace Windows, it is extremely difficult. Even Mac ten years later cannot do it.

If Wang Yi wants to build his own system, he has to start with compatibility with Windows.

Only when the XOS system grows stronger and the ecosystem matures, will there be hope of completely replacing it, or allowing users to choose for themselves.

Therefore, the CPU of Xingyi PC must adopt the X86 instruction set and use Windows and XOS dual systems in the early stage.

Otherwise, the beginning will be a problem.

Even the current Macs are based on the X86 architecture and are compatible with Windows.

It was not until after 2020 that Apple launched the ARM architecture CPU M1 for MAC.

In the long run, Wang Yi is not very optimistic about X86 and Intel.

If X86 was powerful enough, Intel would not have been almost acquired by Qualcomm more than a decade later.

The fact that Qualcomm almost acquired Intel is enough to show that X86 is on its way out.

Of course, it will be extremely difficult for Qualcomm to successfully acquire Intel in the end.

At the very least, it cannot pass the antitrust challenge.

A merger and acquisition of this level requires approval from the Xia Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union. If any one party refuses, it will be declared a failure.

From Xia Guo’s perspective, this merger agreement would be rejected due to anti-monopoly requirements.

After all, even if Qualcomm doesn't acquire Intel, the two semiconductor giants will still be competitors. If Qualcomm wants to make PC chips, it will have to compete head-on with Intel.

But if the acquisition is completed, Qualcomm will be the only one in the market, number one in mobile chips and PC chips, and that will be the end!

It is difficult for other companies to survive.

Therefore, 90% of Xiaguo would not agree to this acquisition and directly voted against it.

However, both ARM and X86 instruction sets are Western.

Even if Wang Yi bought the perpetual license, it was only a perpetual license for one version.

For example, Wang Yi bought a permanent license for ARM's V8 architecture, which was very advanced at the time. But nine years later, the V9 architecture came out and V8 became obsolete.

If the V9 architecture license is not sold to Wang Yi, Xingyi Technology will not be able to use it.

There is also the X86 instruction set, which is controlled by Intel and AMD. The two companies cross-license and rarely license it to outsiders.

After all, once authorization is granted, there will be an additional powerful opponent.

The simplest thing is that once Qualcomm and Nvidia obtain the X86 license, they will be fully capable of making computer CPUs with X86 architecture, and both Intel and AMD will be hit hard by then.

After all, Nvidia makes great graphics cards, and its CPUs are an even better product.

But unfortunately, Intel is not stupid, and AMD is not dumb either, and neither of them will license it to others.

This has caused Xingyi Technology's PC CPU to run into trouble.

How to develop without X86 authorization?
Williams sighed: "X86 will not be licensed to others. If we can't get it, we can only make computer CPUs based on the ARM architecture, and the development of Xingyi Computer will be greatly affected."

ARM is a simple instruction set. Its advantage is low power consumption, but its performance is average and it is suitable for mobile devices.

x86 is a complex instruction set with high power consumption, powerful performance, and is widely used in PCs and servers.

As for RISC, it is free and open source, highly scalable, and suitable for fields such as the Internet of Things, but stability, security, ecosystem, etc. are all problems.

To put it bluntly, RISC is very immature. It's OK for small-scale applications, but if it's really used to make mobile phone chips or computer CPUs, it's doomed.

Seeing Williams' anxious look, Wang Yi smiled faintly: "William, don't worry, I will take care of the X86 authorization!"

"Can it be solved?" Williams was a little surprised: "Intel will not license it to others."

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "They don't authorize it to outsiders, but someone will. Wait for my news."

As he spoke, Wang Yi turned around and walked to the side, calling HTC Chairman Wang Hong:

"Manager Wang, how are you these days?"

"Oh no, all the orders have been snatched away by you, I'm not happy at all!" Shopkeeper Wang said unhappily.

When there was no Xingyi mobile phone, Apple and Samsung were eating the meat, while HTC could only gnaw on the bones.

Ever since the launch of the Xingyi mobile phone, Apple and Samsung have been unable to make ends meet, especially in the Xiaguo market, where Apple and Samsung have started to gnaw on the bones. As for HTC, it really can't even get a share of the spoils.

In overseas markets, HTC was sued and banned from sales.

In the domestic market, you can’t even drink soup!

Shopkeeper Wang has been very angry recently. Very angry.

Wang Yi smiled awkwardly: "Ahem, didn't you go to India to develop?"

"Hmph! Fortunately, there is the Indian market, otherwise we would be really finished." Shopkeeper Wang snorted coldly.

Wang Yi didn't know what to say: "..."

You can’t say that the Indian market is also... complicated, right?

I had no choice but to say: "I believe that with the brand influence of HTC, it will be able to make a big splash in India!"

"That's for sure. As long as your Xingyi mobile phone doesn't go to India, our HTC will be invincible. They don't have any patent lawsuits, it's simply a paradise for HTC." Shopkeeper Wang was very proud.

“Hahaha, it is indeed heaven.”

Wang Yi said meaningfully: "Don't worry, we won't sell it publicly in India."

"What about the parallel imports?"

“Parallel imports? Do our Xingyi phones have parallel imports?” Wang Yi started to play dumb.

“……” Wang Hong became autistic. This guy was really enough.

The monthly sales of your three models of Xingyi mobile phones in India combined are close to 10 million, and you tell me there are no parallel imports?
Wang Yi said seriously, "Our products are all sold domestically. As for how they got to India, I don't know. I guess they were smuggled overseas by vendors, just like HTC's phones?"

Wang Hong was speechless for a moment: "..."

Wang Yi is pointing at her!

HTC is now banned from sale in many European and American countries, but Wang Hong is unwilling to accept this.

They decisively arranged for dealers to sell the goods to vendors and smuggled them overseas.

If it is sold publicly, you can sue, fine, and ban sales.

You can’t sue parallel imports, right?
What’s more, all major brands have parallel imports. If you really want to check, check Apple first!
The most popular iPhone products are parallel imports!
"Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want from me?" Wang Hong changed the subject, knowing that Wang Yi would not come to her for no reason.

This guy wouldn't even send her a text message unless there was something wrong.

"It's like this, we plan to acquire VIA, and I wonder if Manager Wang will give it up?" Wang Yi stated his plan.

"Acquire VIA?" Shopkeeper Wang was very perceptive: "You acquired VIA's sub-brand VMware before, saying that you wanted to make basebands, but you didn't like the 55-nanometer baseband technology. In fact, you wanted CDMA licensing!"

"The acquisition of VIA today is not because of VIA's outdated PC chip technology, but for the X86 license, right?"

In 1999, VIA Technologies acquired the microprocessor division of Cyrix Corporation in the United States.

Cyrix owns x86 processor technology and has a permanent license.

Through this acquisition, VIA Technologies also acquired Cyrix's x86 processor technology and related patents, teams and other intellectual property rights.

Later, VIA took this opportunity to launch its own CPU to compete with Intel, but due to its lack of strength, it has basically given up.

"Manager Wang has a keen eye. Let me be frank. I can't stand Intel and AMD monopolizing the CPU market. I plan to develop my own PC CPU. Name your price!" Wang Yi laid his cards on the table.

VIA no longer makes CPUs, so there is no point in keeping X86, it’s just for the purpose of selling it at a good price!
