Chapter 808 The Myth Is Shattered

"Sorry, the suppliers have completed the order, and our iPhone 14 must be successfully released according to the process anyway.

Xia Wei's MATE 70J may be very strong, but we can lobby the relevant departments to let them shut down Xia Wei, just like they did to Jiuzhou Technology.

Our stockholders, our shareholders, directors, engineers, Pingguo's market share can't wait another year!"

Ku Ke left this sentence and got up to prepare for the press conference.

The other people sitting in the conference room looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at the live broadcast of Xia Wei's mobile phone press conference, and finally looked at each other, but were speechless.

Yes, no one and nothing can stop the convening of this Pingguo press conference.

Otherwise, Pingguo, which has not had a new flagship mobile phone for more than two years, is afraid that it will step into the abyss.

Even if it is worse than Xia Wei's new flagship, as long as the marketing and sales channels can be done well, Pingguo is not unable to make money, it's just the difference between making more and less.

But not long after everyone finally relaxed, Yu Chengdong sincerely announced the price of Xiawei's MATE 70 series mobile phones under the witness of countless people at the press conference and tens of millions of users on the Internet.

"The starting prices of the three products, Mate70 Mate70 Pro and Xiawei Mate70 RS, are 4999, 6599, and 10999 respectively.

MATE 70J, as the top flagship phone developed by Xiawei, is the first to try it out, and the starting price is 7099!"

When Yu Chengdong said the number 700919, everyone exclaimed, questioned, and even shouted excitedly.

As a customized mobile phone that takes the luxury route, Xiawei Mate70 RS has a five-digit price as always, which is stable.

However, the top flagship mobile phone that combines the core technologies of Jiuzhou Technology and Xiawei, and has Xiawei's after-sales service, is only sold for 7,000 yuan!

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room was crazy.

"7,000 yuan, let's make friends!!!"

"Honor, the task of bringing the price of the curved screen and high-performance chip to 3,000 yuan is now yours!!!"

"Zhao! Xia Wei is not going to make money? Didn't someone say that the cost of this curved screen is terrifyingly high?"

"Huaxia has a promising future, Jiuzhou has a dragon, the two swords are combined, Pingguo will not die tonight?"

"Seven thousand yuan, I'm afraid you can't buy the top configuration of the iPhone 14."

"Forget it, President Yu, let's be friends again, how about 24 interest-free installments?"

Seeing this kind of barrage, Lei Zong of Rice was so envious and jealous.

It's okay that the Jiaolong mobile phone made by Jiuzhou Technology can be sold so expensive. After all, the Jiaolong series has been on the road of the world's top flagship since its birth.

But what about you Xia Wei?

A damn communication manufacturer actually made a mobile phone of 7,000 yuan, and consumers are happy to see it?

Thinking of the uncomfortable fact that Rice has been impacting the high-end for so many years, but it suffered a Waterloo this time, and the new phone was cut in half after half a year.

"Alas..."

A long sigh came from Lei Jun's mouth.

In the sigh, Lei Jun said discouragedly: "Where is our flagship this year?"

"..."

Faced with the president's question, the faces of the executives instantly turned solemn.

No one forgot the fact that this chip can be mass-produced by Xiaxin Technology.

What this performance gap means is self-evident.

Some executives of mobile phone brands present even felt depressed in their chests and couldn't breathe.

Seeing this group of people like this, how could Lei Jun not know that this year's flagship must be a fake product again.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Qualcomm can't produce the best chips because of the problem of Hanxing Electronics' semiconductor factory. If we want to continue to impact high-end flagships, we must reconcile with Jiuzhou Technology.

Only in this way can we get the best screens and mobile phone chips. Moreover, the performance and quality of domestic memory manufacturers and mobile phone sensor manufacturers have reached the world's top level. Since most of them are Jiuzhou companies, everything can always be discussed.

Even companies like Xia Wei and Xia Xing can get so many good things from Jiuzhou Technology, why can't we?

Although we have a mature supply chain, we should also choose better suppliers. Our rice houses all over the country are the best exhibition and sales places. Reasonable planning and selection of resources are important bases for our rice to move forward."

When Lei Jun finished this sentence, Gao Xiang, the president and partner of the Rice Group, had already changed his face and looked unstable.

He used to be an elite executive of Qualcomm and an important figure on the third page of the Rice executive team!

Lei Jun's words were simply to withdraw his platform, making him have no say in the Rice Group in the future, and even being squeezed out of the executive level after a few years is possible.

So Gao Xiang crossed his fingers and placed them on the table, looking directly at Lei Jun, and under the gaze of all the senior executives of Da Mi, he said: "Qualcomm is only in a short-term quagmire, but TSMC has promised to adjust its production capacity as soon as possible to provide chip foundry business for Qualcomm.

At the same time, Hanxing Electronics has also resumed work and production after accepting the "forgiveness" of Jiuzhou Technology. Qualcomm's chip orders are the highest priority orders of Hanxing Electronics, so Qualcomm chips of the high-end Jiuzhou technology system will soon be produced.

There is an old saying in Da Xia, "It is better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake." I think Mr. Lei should think clearly.

After all, choosing a supply chain system now means choosing a team. "

Faced with Gao Xiang's threatening words, the senior executives of Rice fell silent instantly. Even Hongfeng, the head of MIUI, did not dare to breathe at this time, for fear of being affected.

"Alas."

Lei Jun sighed.

He looked at Yu Chengdong, who was full of vigor in the live broadcast room, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Then he said: "If Qualcomm cannot provide us with the latest Snapdragon chips or newly manufactured high-end top mobile phone CPUs before the end of the fourth quarter of this year, then we at Rice will not be able to support it.

After all, the existing chip inventory cannot support until next year, and the negotiation and cooperation with Jiuzhou Technology is not a project that can produce results in a short period of time. ”

It is now mid-October, and there are only two more months left until the end of the fourth quarter of 2023.

Gao Xiang did not object to the deadline given by Lei Jun. Because he also knew that Lei Jun's decision was already very righteous. If it dragged on like this, not to mention that Xiaomi would completely turn to the Jiuzhou system, mobile phone manufacturers with large shipments such as vivo, opo, and Yijia would also have to change their ways.

Who made Qualcomm sell no chips for several months?

The consequences of Jiuzhou Technology causing the production of Korean chaebols and large manufacturing groups such as Hanxing Electronics and Hyundai Motors to fall into chaos and stagnation are gradually coming to an end. .

As a "victim", Qualcomm is also "harming the innocent". So recently, these Qualcomm executives and former Qualcomm executives who served as executives in other companies have been selling misery in various ways during company meetings, just to ask these companies to give Qualcomm more time.

After all, Qualcomm really doesn't want to see any of its partners switch to Jiuzhou Technology.

One of the main reasons for this is that Qualcomm engineers have concluded after thousands of tests that Jiuzhou Technology's chips are at least five to ten years ahead of Qualcomm. Otherwise, the floating-point operations and normal operation of these chips in S11 will be The power is simply not comparable to that of computer chips.

At present, Pingguo A series chips cannot do this, let alone Qualcomm. Once these mobile phone manufacturers are allowed to join Jiuzhou Technology, and Xiaxin's production capacity expansion begins to explode, using chips designed by Jiuzhou Technology, it will definitely be easier to go from frugality to luxury, but more difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

In other words, Qualcomm is reluctant to let these brothers leave it and have a better future (money).

God knows how difficult the choices of the other top five mobile phone manufacturers in the world are because of Xia Wei's mobile phone conference.

Da Mi's meeting lasted until midnight, It was held until the start of the Pingguo press conference.

Viv, OPV, and Yijiajia, the three brothers, also held meetings at the same time.

Although there were many ups and downs in the process, as if it was agreed, these companies gave Qualcomm executives an ultimatum.

Before the end of the fourth quarter of this year, if they cannot get a stable supply of Qualcomm's top chips, then everyone will say goodbye and forget each other.

In addition, these mobile phone manufacturers have also made requirements for Qualcomm, that is, the performance of Qualcomm's new generation of mobile phone CPUs may not be comparable to Jiuzhou Technology's CPU, but must be able to compete with the Kirin C chip equipped with Xiawei MATE 70J released tonight by Xiawei.

If they can't beat it, and the difference is very large, then they can only break up happily.

After all, Kirin C chips are the products of magic modification and optimization based on the public version architecture provided by Jiuzhou Technology. It can even be said that Xiaxin can independently supply chips with similar performance...

For this reason, Qualcomm CEO and President Cristiano Amon said at a remote meeting with these corporate partners: "The current demand in the chip market is greater than the supply, mainly due to consumer growth and business stagnation of supply chain manufacturers.

However, since the second half of 2023, the supply and demand of the chip market has been moving towards a more balanced direction, and Hanxing Electronics has also resumed work and production, so it is expected that by 2024, we will be free from the chip shortage crisis. However, some companies may have to wait until 2025 to see the relevant problems alleviated. ”

It is obvious that Qualcomm is not a soft persimmon.

In the face of threats from Daxia mobile phone manufacturers, Qualcomm CEO gave the expectation of chip supply resumption while showing a big stick, implying that if anyone does not obey, there will continue to be a chip shortage in the future.

But after the video conference, Qualcomm CEO had not rested yet, and he had to bite the bullet and prepare the materials and speeches needed for the next meeting.

No, because Pingguo’s press conference also showed a move that Qualcomm could not take.

Last year, 1022, was the 15th anniversary of the birth of the iPhone, but Pingguo looked at the engineering prototype in his hand, and could not beat Jiaolong, Xia Wei, and Xia Xing’s embarrassment, so he simply let this big day of cutting leeks go.

This year, 1023, the 16th anniversary of the birth of the iPhone, Kuko finally came up with the best iPhone 14 series that Pingguo can do under pressure from all sides.

At the press conference, Kuko explained confidently: "iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro In addition to the A16 Bionic chip, Max is also equipped with a 120Hz high refresh screen and fast charging.

The performance of the Apple A16 Bionic chip is 1.5 times that of the A15 Bionic chip, and it is still the performance king of global smartphones.

In addition, both new Pro models have brought a major upgrade in camera configuration. With the support of 48-megapixel triple cameras, the new generation of iPhones will bring users a more sci-fi, more natural and more realistic enjoyment in taking photos and recording videos. ”

Because of the superb performance of Xiawei Kirin C chip, Kuko asked the staff to delete the chip comparison pictures that had been prepared before the press conference.

If there were no curved screens, no carbon-based chips, and no Jiuzhou silicon-based chips in this world.

Then the iPhone 14 series is indeed quite sincere, "after all, it is still a 5G mobile phone", and the price is also "people-friendly" starting at 5,000.

But with the bombing of Xiawei MATE 70 in front, Xiaxing's curved screen and under-screen camera sweeping at home and abroad, the Jiaolong series of mobile phones dominating the top of the rankings all year round, and Suiren's mobile phone customization business selling well all over the world, Pingguo iPhone 14 conference seems so ordinary, and there is no sincerity and no innovative spirit.

Foreign netizens in the live broadcast room of Pingguo press conference also felt disappointed.

They said: "Kuko, resign quickly!"

"If this is the iPhone 14 that took several years to develop, then I will choose to buy Xiawei's Mate 70, after all, it is cooler!"

"Seven hundred dollars! ? Are you kidding me? (Are you kidding me, bro?)"

"Fuck! You're wasting my expectations on you! Pingguo!"

"Okay, man, after watching your press conference, I urgently cleared out my Pingguo stocks. Although I made a little profit compared to the price I bought before, I think your stocks will plummet in the future."

"Bitch! I just bought Pingguo stocks! Is that all you want? ! I really miss you youmafa"

"凸(｀ι_メ）***"

"Eat ****"

None of these foreign users' comments expressed excitement and happiness about Pingguo's new products.

"High-quality foreign netizens" are so excited that they are typing on the keyboard.

The domestic Apple fans seem so powerless even if they want to brag.

"The 48-megapixel triple camera will definitely take better photos."

"The notch screen is also cool, and it will be recognizable when walking on the street."

"120hz high refresh rate, enough for playing games. ”

These comments, without exception, were madly complained by other netizens.

"Is this iPhone 14? Those who don't know would think it is a mobile phone from a small manufacturer. Isn't 120hz the standard configuration of domestic flagships? ”

"48 million triple cameras? Xia Wei did this three years ago, and it's better than taking pictures? Do you know about Jiaolong X10? It can directly produce 8K video. Can Pingguo do it?"

"It's 1023, and the notch screen is still cool. Xia Xing's under-screen camera technology is hanging Pingguo. ”

"Pingguo is not good this year. The things it made made Apple fans have nothing to brag about. It's so embarrassing. ”

"The myth of Pingguo has been shattered. It's a pure IQ opportunity."

"The soul has left, and Pingguo is no longer different. Don't struggle. It's pitiful. ”
