Chapter 372 Roaring in the Meeting Room
Qualcomm, Pingguo, TSMC, Hanxing and Xiawei, these five companies are either gloomy, thunderous or silent.
In the past, Qualcomm didn't care whether Daxia could get the largest mobile phone share in the world. Even if it holds shares in Daxia.
Because no matter whether it is Daxia or opo, viv, these Daxia mobile phone manufacturers have to use Qualcomm chips no matter how hard they "struggle"!
The way to make money will not be broken, and even because Daxia mobile phone manufacturers work hard to open up the global market, the market share of Qualcomm Snapdragon chips will be further expanded.
In addition to HiSilicon Kirin, Daxia now has Jiuzhou Technology.
The latter is even more terrible than the former.
HiSilicon Kirin can only design high-end chips, cannot produce them by itself, and does not have so many hardware products to support it.
As for Jiuzhou Technology's Tianchen chip, listen to how a Qualcomm executive roared at the meeting...
"In 2018, our acquisition of NXP Semiconductors was interrupted by Daxia Market Supervision and Management. Not only did we pay a $2 billion termination fee, we were also forced to launch a stock repurchase plan of up to $30 billion.
This is all money! Money that is more real than God!!!
You said stock repurchase is conducive to patent integration? Then what can you do with the things you get back now?!
Also, look at where that damn Shuiren company held its press conference!!!
We just held the Technology and Cooperation Summit there in May, and they followed suit and poked our ass!!
This damn stupid, dirty, bug thing!!!
Then there is the Starry Plan that should be struck by lightning, gad! Is this the devil's plan? The performance of this first Tianchen chip is already ahead of us in terms of experience!!!
Are your technical departments all getting paid for nothing?!!"
This roar came from a gentleman dressed in a sophisticated private custom suit and dressed quite upper-class.
But other Qualcomm executives present did not refute.
The biggest reason is that what the roaring uncle said is indeed true.
At the end of May, Qualcomm joined hands with more than 100 ecological partners to jointly display nearly 300 product and technology demonstrations in that water house. In addition to the exhibition, Qualcomm also invited nearly ten partners to share the cooperation process and the latest cooperation results at the meeting, and many invested companies also showed their style on the spot.
It can be said to be a very successful showtime.
But just after Qualcomm left, Suiren Company also held a press conference in the same place.
And the products it released, from mobile phones to AR glasses, to smart ecological homes, are all better and smarter than the products produced by Qualcomm and its invested companies!
This is simply embarrassing!
Although due to Qualcomm's strength and connections everywhere, Daxia's media and international media dare not report this connection.
But this face is indeed lost, especially in the industry, everyone knows it.
According to the investigation of the Human Resources Department, Qualcomm's corporate offer attractiveness has fallen to a new level.
However, after the roar, the meeting continued normally.
The participants were either elites, leaders of relevant departments, or company directors, and everyone was usually very busy.
Just a dozen seconds later, a director spoke: "We have entered the automotive chip market for several years. We launched the automotive chip Snapdragon 820A in 2016, but it was not until last year that car companies adopted Snapdragon 820A as an automotive chip solution. This slow pace does not match our investment of tens of billions of dollars."
Capital is willing to invest, but if the rate of return and return speed are too slow, and the market development is too lagging, capital will not be willing to continue investing.
After this director spoke, another person stood up to express his disappointment with the company's management team and technical department.
He straightened his collar and said in a British accent: "We know that in addition to wanting to make a difference in the field of automotive chips, you have always been obsessed with the computer market. But the performance of the processor released with such a high investment is far behind that of Intel's processor. You know, last year Pingguo's M1 processor has kept up with Intel's ninth-generation i7. According to surveys, this year Pingguo's M1 Pro MAX may have performance that is not inferior to Intel's eleventh-generation i7. By then, Pingguo can even abandon Intel processors, and they will eat up more market share."
The situation revealed by this person made many people in the conference room frown.
In the past few years, Qualcomm spent a lot of money to reach a cooperation with Microsoft in 2018, aiming to launch the computer-side processor Snapdragon 8CX, but three years have passed, and there has been no progress.
This cannot be said to be Microsoft's lip service, but more because of Qualcomm's technical strength. The processor uses the ARM public version core, and its performance is inherently not better than other companies.
And this is still the field that Qualcomm wants to explore, but now it is not only retreating in the field of exploration, but also not taking an inch of land.
Now even my own piece of land is in danger.
In silence, a bald old man said: "In addition to Jiuzhou Technology and Xiawei HiSilicon Kirin chip design, Daxia also has MediaTek's Dimensity. At present, it seems that Xiaxin Technology can already manufacture 7nm process chips. They have wafers, technology, products, and their own high-end architecture. If Qualcomm continues to stand still, we may become the next Nokia, or even lose the entire mobile phone chip market.
I don’t want this investment to go to waste, although selling the corpse won’t make much of a loss. ”
Gurgle.
Several Qualcomm executives were sweating profusely.
This old man is not a person of low status. If he says to sell the corpse, it will definitely sell for a good price, and these executives will become goods at that time, or exchange for resources, or directly discarded.
It is obviously a meeting room that is cleaned every day, but for some reason, some people smell blood.
Losing the entire mobile phone chip market, this sounds serious.
But it seems that there is a chance that it may become a reality.
No one dared to say anything.
This is Qualcomm, with complex components and a complex root system. But I am afraid that the monkeys will scatter when the tree falls.
Qualcomm is like this, and Ping is now The headquarters building of the Apple spacecraft, however, talked more about another aspect.
Cook was sitting in the conference room with the technical department and some university experts who had in-depth cooperation with Pingguo, repeatedly watching the official live broadcast of the Suiren press conference and the new product experience pictures taken by other media.
From the Jiaolong mobile phone that can run several large mobile games without lag, to the super-strong reality augmented technology experience of the SR1 glasses, to the collaborative cooperation of the whole house smart ecological home.
Everyone's expression was extremely solemn, and many people even smoked cigars and cigarettes.
PS: Oh, God, I will kick such a rude person hard~
