Chapter 541: Kill Nvidia and Qualcomm Together

With the same Kunpeng 902 SOC, the xphone 3 has the terrifying bonus of the XOS system, and its performance far exceeds that of its competitor's Kunpeng 902 by 60%!

With a 60% performance gap, even if the Xphone 3 is more expensive by more than yuan, it will not be affected and will still sell well.

In addition, the Xingyi wafer factory is expanding rapidly, and the B2 wafer factory in the imperial capital and the M2 wafer factory in the magic capital will be put into production in the second half of the year. By then, the 28-nanometer production capacity will be more than sufficient!
You can just mass-produce Kunpeng 902 and sell it in large quantities to third parties!
After all, even if Wang Yi doesn't sell, other competitors will buy Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 and Nvidia's Tegra 4.

Instead of letting Qualcomm and Nvidia make all the money, it would be better to take advantage of the 902-bit advantage of Kunpeng 64 and sell it directly, grab a large number of customers, and make the money.

In this way, Nvidia's mobile chips are doomed to die, even faster than in its previous life.

Even Qualcomm suffered a critical blow and suffered heavy losses.

Wang Yi suddenly had a bold idea!

Can we kill Nvidia and Qualcomm together?

If Qualcomm and Nvidia's mobile chips are both out of fashion, then the technology war will be interesting!
It's going to be difficult for Nvidia. Without the large-scale purchases from Xingyi Technology, Nvidia's Tegra 4 will be unsalable and it will be doomed next year, and it will completely abandon its mobile chip business.

As for Qualcomm...it was difficult to defeat it originally, but now there is a chance, and we even have a great chance of success!

There is no other reason, Qualcomm has been performing poorly in the past two years and has been defeated by Xingyi Technology repeatedly!

The next few years were even worse, with Snapdragon 805 failing, Snapdragon 810 failing, and Snapdragon 820 failing!

You know, last year Qualcomm's 28nm flagship chip APQ8064 was defeated by Xingyi Technology's 40nm Kunpeng 702, which has caused Qualcomm's originally unstable status to collapse.

Many customers have given up on APQ 8064 and chosen to purchase Kunpeng 700 and 702.

今年32位的骁龙800，再被64位的鲲鹏902领先一代秒杀，那更多手机厂商会放弃高通骁龙800，选择星逸科技的鲲鹏902。

Next year's 805 will fail again and be killed instantly by Kunpeng 906...

The Snapdragon 810 of the following year continued to fail...

The Snapdragon 820, released two years later, has failed for three consecutive generations...

As a result, Qualcomm fell behind and was beaten for two years, failed in the third year and was killed instantly, and suffered five consecutive years of defeat. After five years, who would dare to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor?
Even Qualcomm’s filial son wouldn’t dare to do that, right?
If Qualcomm doesn’t go bankrupt by then, who will?

In the past, Qualcomm had three consecutive failures but did not go bankrupt. It was purely because its competitors were not strong enough and there was no one who could compete with it.

If Nvidia cannot solve the baseband problem, it will completely abandon its mobile chip business next year.

Samsung Semiconductor, the only product it has, also has baseband problems that cannot be solved at all.

For example, the Orion 810, which crushes the Snapdragon 7420, has powerful performance and advanced technology. Its CPU and GPU both beat Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, but it does not have an integrated baseband.

The integrated baseband cannot solve the problem and many networks do not support it. It will be difficult to defeat Qualcomm.

In addition, Texas Instruments and Nvidia have successively abandoned their mobile chip businesses, and Qualcomm has encountered a series of setbacks, but it is still safe and sound.

But now with Xingyi Technology, everything is different.

We can just take advantage of Qualcomm’s three consecutive years of failure and kill it directly!
Just like Intel ten years later, which was glorious in its past, it still fell...

Qualcomm is not invincible either. It has been surpassed for five consecutive years, failed for three generations in a row, and now it has encountered a strong opponent like Xingyi Technology, so it can only end up in failure.

From 2014 to 2016, Qualcomm failed for three consecutive years. Xingyi Technology was able to seize the market share of most domestic mobile phone manufacturers and even many global manufacturers with its powerful performance and technology.

If Apple continues to use its own chips and Samsung also uses its own chips, it will be difficult for Qualcomm to survive!
As for how good Qualcomm's Snapdragon 2017 is by 835, Qualcomm will make a strong comeback with the Snapdragon 835...

But unfortunately, after three consecutive years of failures of Snapdragon 805, 810 and 820, who would dare to continue using Snapdragon 835?

There is a high probability that around 2017 will be the end of Qualcomm.

Since war is bound to happen and a technological war is inevitable, it is better to take action in advance!

Kill Qualcomm and Nvidia mobile chips first!

This matter can be fixed completely!
If the United States can kill Nvidia and Qualcomm in advance, what will it rely on to fight future technological wars?

Even the mobile phone chip design giant of the United States has been wiped out. If sanctions are imposed on Xingyi Semiconductor, won’t Samsung be the ultimate beneficiary?
The sanctions on Xingyi Technology will cause heavy losses to the United States and benefit South Korea.

The United States will not agree to this!
This is interesting.

The technological war is inevitable. It would be better to kill Qualcomm in advance and get rid of Nvidia at the same time, so that the United States will lose an arm!
Wang Yi had a plan and spoke decisively:
"Not only Kunpeng 902 and Kunpeng 902C can be sold directly, but also Kunpeng 706C, Kunpeng 508C, and all 40nm chips can be sold directly!"

“And it’s sold right after it goes on the market. No, it can be pre-sold before it goes on the market!”

"In the future, our Kunpeng flagship chips and sub-flagship chips can be sold to third-party manufacturers before they are launched on the market, allowing third-party manufacturers to launch them together with us!"

"There is only one goal, to win orders from third-party mobile phone manufacturers and grab market share from Qualcomm, Nvidia, and MediaTek!"

"Yes!" everyone responded, shocked.

The previous Kunpeng 702 was not sold to third parties until a long time after it was launched on the market.

The Kunpeng 702 model of a rival company was launched on the market more than half a year later than that of Xingyi Technology.

But now it’s good, sell it before it goes on the market!

It even allows friendly competitors and Xingyi Technology to jointly launch new flagship chips!

This is unprecedented.

But after thinking about it, everyone understood the reason.

With the improvement of XOS system, launched together with the same processor, and the same configuration, Xingyi Technology's new phone can be 60% more powerful than that of its competitors!

The unique XOS system and the unique 60% bonus are the monopoly advantages, and there is no need to worry about the simultaneous launch.

Moreover, selling in advance will help us better grab Qualcomm's orders.

But one of the senior executives couldn't help but ask: "Chairman, if we do this, will it lead to a complete deterioration of our relationship with Qualcomm, or even lead to us getting hammered?"

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "If we don't do this, we will also be hammered, and the time is not much different, it will start around 2016."

Wang Yi knew clearly that sanctions would not be implemented at the beginning, nor would they be comprehensive.

On the contrary, there is a development process, a game process, and an upgrading process.

Even comprehensive sanctions have a time limit.

The scope of sanctions is to first restrict government procurement, then corporate procurement, and finally civilian consumer procurement, and finally comprehensive sanctions!
There is a development process from severe to light, from government to civilian, and from local sanctions to comprehensive sanctions.

It is not necessary to use ultimate skills right at the beginning and completely block the enemy. This is unrealistic and no one would do that.

This was the case in the previous life.

As early as 2010, the United States realized the strategic threat posed by Huawei in the communications field, but it only prevented Huawei from acquiring Motorola's wireless network business.

In 2011, it blocked a $3 million acquisition by 200Leaf Systems.

Since 2012, the U.S. House of Representatives has issued risk reports to restrict government departments from privately purchasing leading-edge information technology systems.

Subsequently, relevant government departments were restricted from purchasing IT equipment privately.

It can be said that in recent years, the restrictions have been imposed by government departments and do not involve the corporate and personal consumer markets.

Even Lao Mi still has rules and regulations when doing things.

After all, the other party also needs the domestic market and is afraid of our reciprocal retaliation.

It wasn't until 2017 that a madman came to power, with a change of leadership, that he for the first time took action against the personal consumption business.

This has never been done before.

Even so, it was done step by step.

The first two years were all exploratory and small-scale bans, and it was not until 2019 that a full ban was launched.

The same is true for Xingyi Technology.

As long as it does not involve government projects, the other party will not directly target personal consumption business in the next few years.

What’s more, Xingyi Technology has not yet gone global, and Xingyi mobile phones are not sold in the United States!
The other party was too lazy to take action.

Next year, Xingyi Technology will go international and its market share will gradually increase, but since it has just gone international, the impact will be limited and the problem will not be serious.

By the year after next, when Xingyi Technology's internationalization scale expands and gradually threatens Apple, the other party may start to take action.

In 2015, legislators began to propose the Xingyi Technology Threat Theory...

Then the House of Representatives began to study the issue, the two sides negotiated, and the US Department of Commerce began to investigate...

These processes must be carried out step by step.

After more than half a year of investigation, the results were finally released around the end of 2015.

By the time the voting results come out and some of the bans are implemented, it will be mid-2016...

That was also the end of Ohnoko's term.

As for the rounds of bargaining and the escalating sanctions...all of this happened in 2017 or even 2018.

There is no other reason. The leadership will change in half a year. The black authorities will not tear each other apart completely and turn the table over directly. They will bear the pressure themselves and clear all obstacles for the next one...

No one would do this kind of thing that would help their competitors.

On the contrary, the black authorities prefer to leave the big trouble of Xingyi Technology to their next mortal enemy!

Also leave yourself a way out.

Maybe after stepping down, I can still make some money from Xingyi Technology.

When the madman comes to power in 2017, he will not exaggerate the situation from the beginning and impose comprehensive sanctions on Xingyi Technology.

There is no other reason. I just can’t take care of it.

On the contrary, right after taking office, the madman had to deal with the most critical things first and solve all the big holes and important hidden dangers left for him by the black fans!

Wang Yi knew clearly that before Heizi stepped down, he had dug many traps for Madman, and they were all big traps!

If these issues are not resolved properly, even the madmen will suffer tragedy and may even lose their seats!
After these problems are resolved and the madman has secured his position and has enough energy, he can start the game between great powers and deal with Xingyi Technology!

It will be almost 2018 by then, and comprehensive sanctions may not be imposed until 2019... It can be said that this technological war is a long battle.

Wang Yi sorted out his thoughts. There were no major problems in 2014-2015, with the most being sanctions and investigations.

A partial ban was imposed in 2016, and it was maintained during the change of leadership in 2017.

After 2018, the sanctions were stepped up and finally banned completely...

But by that time, the technology war will probably be almost over. Qualcomm will be defeated, the other party will completely ban Xingyi Technology, and the Americans themselves will have no chips available.

Unless you completely abandon Android and only promote iPhone, or use Samsung chips?
But it's not a good situation anyway.

Wang Yi figured out the key point: as long as Qualcomm is defeated, half of the technology war will be won!
The next focus is to compete with Qualcomm, grab customers and get orders!
Thinking of this, Wang Yi continued: "All the supporting chips on the motherboard have been developed in-house, right?"

George nodded: "In the past two years, our integrated chip department has not been idle, and the output is amazing. In addition to the previous WiFi Bluetooth chip, power management chip P1, and fast charging chip C1, we have also developed the RF transceiver chip for mobile phone signals and the RF power amplifier chip for signal amplification."

Now Xingyi Semiconductor is constantly recruiting talents and expanding.

In addition to the Kunpeng 702 SOC department led by George, the Kunpeng 906 SOC department led by Zhang Chao, and the baseband department, there is also an integrated chip department.

The business of the integrated chip department is to develop various other chips.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

These chips are relatively simple and the process technology does not need to be very advanced. 50-nanometer or 55-nanometer processes will be fine. They are currently outsourced to SMIC.

"Very good." Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction and made new arrangements:

"Next, we will not only sell the Kunpeng 902 SOC, but also the entire motherboard chipset as a whole. A Kunpeng 902 SOC, plus our WiFi Bluetooth chip, power management chip P1, fast charging chip C1, RF transceiver chip for mobile phone signals, RF power amplifier chip for signal amplification, etc., are sold in a package. We provide a complete set of solutions and technical support for the motherboard chipset!"

George's eyes lit up: "This is a good strategy. It can not only generate revenue, but also increase sales. They are all the same brand, so they are more compatible and users are happy with them."

There are differences between chips of different brands.

For example, on a motherboard, the processor is from Xingyi Technology, the power management chip is from Qualcomm, and the fast charging chip is also from Xingyi Technology, which can easily go wrong.

If the optimization is not done well, it is easy to fail.

On the contrary, if they are all from the same brand, they will have better compatibility, and the brand will even provide a complete set of technical solutions.

Since Wang Yi sells the whole set, mobile phone manufacturers will not hesitate at all and will definitely choose the Xingyi family package.

Wang Yi continued: "In the future, many new brands will also make smartphones, but they don't have enough technology. We can provide motherboard design services. As long as the other party pays, we will design chipsets for them. We can also provide public version motherboard sets and sell them directly to third-party brands!"

"This is a good idea, a golden idea!" Zhu Changlin's eyes lit up:
"The most difficult part of mobile phone R&D is the motherboard. New brands can't figure it out, and small brands also need time. Smartphones are updated very quickly, and they don't have time to develop their own. They can just buy our public version design!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, that's it!"

In the past, many brands released multiple mobile phones a year, an average of one new phone every two months. Where would they have the time to develop each one?

They all go to companies like Wingtech, buy the design plans for the entire machine, and then put their own brand on them.

To be reliable, just spend more money, buy out the design plan, use it yourself, and make it into a flagship phone.

In order to save money, some brands directly buy public version designs and make mid- and low-end mobile phones.

It is precisely because of this that many new mobile phones from many brands look the same, and you can’t tell which brand the phone is without looking at the LOGO.

Today, Xingyi Technology provides a full set of motherboard designs and public version motherboards, which greatly reduces the difficulty of mobile phone research and development.

When the time comes, when other brands make mobile phones, they can directly buy Xingyi Technology’s complete motherboard design, all of Xingyi Technology’s chips, and other components, and Xingyi Technology will make a lot of money.

These chips are very low cost, ranging from a few cents to dozens of dollars, but the selling price is between ten and several hundred dollars!
Once the entire chipset is sold, the profit will be enormous, perhaps exceeding the profit of the entire domestic low- and mid-end mobile phones.

More importantly, this business can greatly snatch orders from Qualcomm and win over most mobile phone manufacturers!

Whether it is to sell more chips and make more money, or to compete with Qualcomm and grab Qualcomm's orders and customers, the motherboard chipset business is indispensable.

Wang Yi continued, "You guys should arrange the motherboard chipset business, as well as the sale of Kunpeng 902. You can now approach major customers."

After figuring this out, Wang Yi dared to let go.

Unlike crazy people who don't follow any rules and do anything, black people still have a bottom line.

At the very least, he won't overturn the table directly, is not good at playing technology wars, and will not take action in the corporate and personal consumer sectors.

In fact, before Crazy Trump, the United States had almost never banned personal consumption, but only restricted government procurement.

Crazy Chuan has made a start!
Wang Yi also dared to let go.

For example, for Kunpeng 902, we can now contact major customers and sell it.

It will be officially launched in September, so even if it continues to be concealed, it won’t be kept secret for long.

At the latest next month, giants such as Qualcomm will also know about it.

If things go well, Qualcomm will know this month.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to sell it directly to third-party manufacturers and make some money first.

"Okay, Chairman," George responded.

Wang Yi changed the subject and said, "If it is fully launched, will the subsequent production capacity of Kunpeng 902 be able to keep up?"

Mr. Hu nodded and said, "We can keep up. The current 28-nanometer production capacity is 3000 million Kunpeng 902s per month. However, the first phase of the Imperial Capital B2 wafer factory will be delivered in early August. Together with the installation of the production line and debugging, it will be put into production in early October, with a monthly production capacity of 10 wafers."

"In early September, the first phase of the M9 wafer fab in Shanghai will be delivered, with a monthly production capacity of 2 wafers, and will be put into production in early November."

"As a result, our 28-nanometer wafer production capacity reached 10 wafers per month in October, with a monthly output of 6000 million 28-nanometer chips. In November, the monthly output was 9000 million 28-nanometer chips."

Wang Yi nodded: "That's fine. We will first give some samples to third-party brands and let them develop new machines. It will take at least half a year for them to develop them. We will start supplying in October and produce 9000 million 28-nanometer chips per month in November. We can directly supply them on a large scale!"

"That's no problem. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 will not be available in large quantities until October. But they are 32-bit processors. Even if they are sold cheaply, they are not as good as our 64-bit processors. What's more, their prices are not low and their performance is even worse!" George was full of confidence.

Everyone is aware of the performance of Kunpeng 902.

After deciding on the grand strategy to grab Qualcomm's orders, Wang Yi began to deploy a new strategy:
"In addition to the motherboard chipset business, we have to embark on a new big project - battery research and development!"

"Whether it is the current Xingyi mobile phone, Xingyi tablet, or the future Xingyi car and Xingyi drone, batteries are indispensable!"

“Instead of purchasing batteries from third parties, we will develop our own batteries.”

"At present, the Xingyi Automobile Division has established a battery research and development center and is developing special batteries for new energy vehicles."

Since its establishment, Xingyi Automobile has first started with research and development.

The three-electric system, unmanned driving technology, and vehicle research and development are being promoted in an all-round way.

Battery research and development naturally began.

“Similarly, the drone division is also developing batteries specifically for drones.”

"But that's not enough, we also need to develop batteries for mobile phones and tablets."

“To this end, we have established a new battery research and development center, focusing on mobile phone and tablet batteries!”

There's no way around it, all batteries are not exactly the same.

Car batteries cannot be copied to mobile phones and have to be developed from scratch.

Zhu Changlin responded: "Okay, Chairman, I'll arrange it right away!"

Afterwards, Wang Yi arranged several major projects, and the second half strategic deployment meeting came to a successful conclusion.

After everyone left, each department returned to their respective duties and began a new wave of busyness.

Wang Yi kept Zhu Changlin and asked, "Changlin, how is the patent acquisition going?"

"Chairman, Nokia's side is progressing smoothly. The deal is basically done and we can sign the contract next week."

Zhu Changlin said with a smile: "However, Nokia only sells a part of the patents, about 30%. The remaining 70% of the patents still have to be sold together with the mobile phone business. Should we take them?"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "It's useless. Don't say we don't like Nokia's mobile phone business. Even if we like it and want to buy it, Europe and the United States will not approve it. They will also use strategic security issues to prevent us from acquiring the entire Nokia."

"On the contrary, if we don't acquire Nokia, but only acquire 30% of the patents, then there won't be much of a problem."

These days other domestic brands don’t pay patent fees, but Xingyi Technology spends huge sums of money to buy patents. If you give them money, the other party will definitely not refuse!
"Let's quit while we're ahead and sign the contract as soon as possible to prevent any more trouble!"

"Okay, Chairman, I'll urge you to sign the contract this week."

"Well, what about Ericsson?"

"The progress at Ericsson is not going smoothly, and the talks are still ongoing. The main reason is that Ericsson is engaged in communication services and has no intention of giving up."

"Is that so? Let's keep talking. We can't give up!" Wang Yi sighed.

Just acquiring 30% of Nokia's patents, plus Xingyi Technology's own patents, is still not enough.

Once it becomes internationalized, it will be prosecuted.

Like HTC, don’t they have patents?

Yes, but not enough.

In every patent war, HTC not only responds to the lawsuit, but also actively sues the other party.

However, due to insufficient patents, most of the cases were lost, and they either had to pay compensation, be banned from selling, or both, which was a horrible situation.

However, if Ericsson acquires another 20% of the patents, plus Nokia's 30%, plus the patents developed by Xingyi Technology itself, and those acquired before, then it will be secure!

By then, not only will we not be afraid of patent wars, but we will also be able to take the initiative to initiate patent wars and reap the benefits of other brands.

"Ericsson is continuing to negotiate, but we can't just hang ourselves on one tree."

Wang Yi continued: "There are other companies that have core patents. Buy some of them. Spread them out and buy a part of each one!"

"Okay, Chairman!"

Five days later, the Nokia patent acquisition was officially concluded.

Xingyi Technology acquired 40% of Nokia's core communication-related patents for RMB 30 billion!
In the past, when Microsoft acquired Nokia, it spent 137 billion RMB on patents alone.

Xingyi Technology acquired 30% of the patents and spent 40 billion yuan, which is a normal price.
