Chapter 1024 Rice Suppliers

The phrase "heroes grow old" was first applied to Lei Jun.

After leaving Jiuzhou Technology, Lei, the founder of the Rice Group, flew directly to the headquarters of his company and contacted the company's senior management. No matter who they were, no matter what their status was, no matter what the time difference was, even if they could not arrive abroad, they had to attend the online meeting.

At three o'clock in the morning of April 2.

With the help of the makeup artist and Tao Yao, Lei Jun, who had not slept for three days, returned to his kingdom.

In the offline meeting room, "the room was full of guests", and none of the senior management of Rice looked relaxed.

They looked solemnly at their boss walking into the meeting room with vigorous steps.

Some of the domestic and foreign senior management in the online video conference had different expressions.

Some of them could not reach the Rice headquarters due to objective conditions, while others did not want to "travel by boat" for psychological reasons.

In recent years, the competition in science and technology seems to be fierce, and many markets in developing and underdeveloped regions have been developed one after another, but the global mobile phone sales of Bluestar have been declining continuously.

The mobile phone industry has entered the stock market, and the revenue of the rice mobile phone business has already fallen off a cliff, and last year's net profit fell 58.9% year-on-year. Important businesses such as smartphone business, smart appliance consumer products, and Internet services have all declined to varying degrees.

In addition, the "emperor" kicked out General Manager Lu, who was just appointed two years ago, and returned to the throne, which also made some management feel resentful.

After finishing his polite remarks, Lei Jun said bluntly: "Now Jiuzhou Technology, Suiren Company, Xiawei, Xiaxing and other companies have their own dominant positions and fields in the field of smart home. Relying on their technical products, their products are widely praised in the market.

There are also those old-fashioned home appliance companies, such as Meidi, Haier, Geli and other companies, which have also relied on the smart home systems customized by Jiuzhou Technology to gain a firm foothold in the new round of impact. They have even developed smart home products that can be compatible with multiple ecosystems such as our company, Xiawei, Xiaxing, and opo.

And our Dami Group's smart home products have now become low-end products that can only compete at low prices in the Pinduoduo market! Even many stocks are sold at a loss, and they can't make up for the deficit!

I Although the car-making team led by me in the past few years has achieved some results in the projects of car-machine system and new energy vehicle engineering design, it is still far behind Xia Wei's Wenjie, BYD's Dynasty and the new energy vehicles of some car-making forces.

Moreover, the core operating system of our car-machine system is not perfect enough. If it is launched in a hurry, there will definitely be a jamming phenomenon, which will inevitably make this new business fall into the quagmire before it explodes.

Therefore, the most core task of this meeting today is to hope that through consultation and communication, we can find the future positioning and main track for our Rice Group. If the direction and path chosen are wrong, all the subsequent efforts will only go in the opposite direction. "

Facing the attention of the crowd, Lei Jun slowly stated the conditions given by Gu Qing one by one.

Gao Xiang, one of the partners of Rice's president, immediately received a lot of attention, because he was once a senior executive of chip design company Qualcomm. It was precisely because of his identity that Rice had been going further and further on the road of Qualcomm Fire Dragon in the past few years.

Of course, in addition to Gao Xiang, some foreign senior managers also had erratic eyes.

Without exception, they are all eyes arranged by foreign capital into Rice Group.

President Lei actually said all this without any hesitation, and said it clearly. What does it mean?

"There is not much time left for our Rice Group. This year is the 1024th year of the Xia Yin Star Calendar, and next year is 1025, the decisive year for Daxia Intelligent Manufacturing. Now many achievements in the fields of materials and technology in Daxia are about to complete this goal. No matter how strong the vitality of our Rice is, if we don't move, we will definitely fall into a choice next year. Either lay off a large number of employees to reduce expenses, or the technological products will explode to fight for a glimmer of hope!

Now the top chips of Western semiconductors are simply impossible to supply to our Rice. If we don't stand completely in the Jiuzhou system, we can only wait to die!"

When Lei Jun said this, even though his foundation was already very thick, people still saw that his face was not right.

Gao Xiang, one of the partners of the president of Rice, was originally thinking about the focus of today's emergency meeting, but after hearing what Lei Jun said, his eyes were no longer firm.

From what President Lei meant, is he planning to separate Rice and Qualcomm?

Looking back at the flirting between Xiaomi and Dimensity chips over the years, it is indeed an option to replace its own Qualcomm chips with Dimensity chips and get started with Jiuzhou Technology's Chenxing chips in a short period of time.

In addition to former Qualcomm executives, many overseas suppliers of Xiaomi mobile phones and Xiaomi smart home products also have different expressions.

Once Xiaomi fully embraces the Jiuzhou system, these suppliers who once gave Xiaomi a "high-end hat" will inevitably be kicked out.

The conference room was only quiet for a moment, and then it completely turned into a crowded vegetable market.

Xiaomi's core mobile phone component suppliers include Qualcomm, Hanxing, Micron, and Hynix, while the camera modules are from OFILM, Sunny Optical, and Q Technology. Camera chips are provided by Sony and Hanxing.

In addition, there are many foreign suppliers of other components, such as Hanxing Motor, Neon Display Company JDI, Sharp, Yinghua, Synaptics International, and LG Chem.

These suppliers also have considerable influence within Xiaomi.

However, domestic suppliers in Daxia have also contributed in recent years.

For example, O-Film Technology, the main supplier of camera modules for Xiaomi.

As the leading company of camera modules in Daxia, it has participated in the camera modules of many models of Xiaomi, especially the red Xiaomi series. According to statistics, O-Film Technology has contracted more than 40% of the orders for Xiaomi cameras since five years ago.

There is also the leading force in the field of ceramics, Chaozhou Sanhuan Group. After receiving technical support from Jiuzhou Technology, it has been a supplier of Jiuzhou system and supplied ceramic products to Jiuzhou partner companies, while not giving up the old technology and old customers.

Chaozhou Sanhuan is now the largest supplier of ceramic back covers for Xiaomi, and its annual revenue from the ceramic back cover business for Xiaomi mobile phones is hundreds of millions of Xia yuan.

In addition to these companies that are not well known to users, the star company Beijing North is also the second largest supplier of panels for Xiaomi mobile phones. With years of hard work, it now accounts for more than 31%.

No matter how much some mobile phone companies have advocated how good the goods of foreign suppliers are, these Daxia companies have never backed down.
