Chapter 476 New Cell Phone Chip Solution
Yes, the purpose of Chen Changliu's organizing the management meeting this time is to fleece MediaTek before the gambling agreement is completed.
Feng Xiao, the vice president in charge of terminal business, who was already prepared, had already conducted research with various departments when Chen Changliu asked them to study whether they could fight a price war in Africa, so he reported at the beginning of the meeting:
"Mr. Chen, it is understood that MediaTek's new generation of mobile phone chips will complete all tests next month. I heard that the price of this chip will not be less than 150 yuan per set.
So, after our meeting and research, we think we can take two steps at the same time.
First, the African market will fight a price war, so the lower the cost control of mobile phones, the better. Under the current conditions, we want to reduce the cost of the African version of the Pangu series of mobile phones of the Meizu tribe. The best way is to use chips.
It can be said that even in the next six months, our use of the previous generation of mobile phone chips will not affect the performance of the African version at all.
Our second-generation mobile phones use the previous chips to run, which can fully meet the requirements of African consumers.
As for other manufacturers, even if they offer new versions of chips, they will not be in Africa, a poor land dominated by cost performance. How effective is it.
We expect that the future price war will definitely make our sales in Africa have a significant increase.
Therefore, combined with the domestic sales in the next two months, I think we can place an order of 10 million wafers of the previous generation of MediaTek at one time.
In this way, each of our wafers will be 30 yuan cheaper, and the cost price will only be 90 yuan. If the price war is as low as 180 yuan, we will also have a profit margin of 40-50 yuan.
If they force us to a corner and offer a price with no profit margin at all, I don’t believe they dare to follow.
If they dare not follow, we can occupy a large share of the African market.
As for the domestic Meizu Pangu series, we can use a new generation of wafers... "
Feng Xiao's preparations were very solid, far beyond Chen Changliu's expectations. He originally wanted to place an order of 5 million, so that the cost could be reduced by 15 yuan, but he didn't expect that these executives would say that they would place an order of 10 million after data verification.
However, the data presented by Feng Xiao was well-founded, so Chen Changliu was also convinced by her.
The meeting ended very quickly, in just half an hour. This is what Chen Changliu has been instilling since the establishment of Zhonghuajia Technology Co., Ltd., that efficiency is the key to doing things, including meetings.
Every manager should present his own solutions when raising questions at the meeting, rather than just throwing out the questions. Therefore, Zhonghuajia's meeting efficiency has always been very high, and the work efficiency is also very good from top to bottom due to the influence of these executives.
After the meeting, Chen Changliu returned to the office and was about to find Ke Meng, but Feng Xiao followed him.
"What's wrong, Mr. Feng?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen, the vice president of Zhanxun Communications came to me. They want to find an opportunity to meet you and show you their mobile phone wafer kit."
"Zhanxun Communications?"
Of course he knew this name. Isn't this the predecessor of the world's fourth largest mobile phone wafer manufacturer before it was acquired and reorganized in a few years and then reborn in the future? Could it be that they have already designed mobile phone wafers now?
At this time, Feng Xiao handed a document to Chen Changliu.
"Mr. Chen, this is the information of Zhanxun Communication, please take a look."
Chen Changliu nodded and said:
"Okay, then put it here first, I will take a look and talk about it after I finish reading it."
After Feng Xiao left, Chen Changliu did not look for Ke Meng immediately, but thought about it and opened Feng Xiao's document to read it.
In 2001, Zhanxun Communication was established. After its establishment, Zhanxun Communication started the road of buying and buying. It not only acquired Hongjing Microelectronics, but also acquired a company in the United States. Among all the high-tech companies in China at that time, Zhanxun Communication was considered to have developed well.
After the original merger and acquisition, Zhanxun Communication has been based on independent technological innovation and adopted its own design concepts and methods.
Two years after the establishment of the company, it successfully developed a GSM/GPRS multimedia mobile phone wafer. In 2004, it successfully developed the first TD-SCDMA/GSM dual-mode baseband wafer, and finally carried out mass production.
Among the materials prepared by Feng Xiao, there is also the information about the new generation of mobile phone chips given by the vice president of Zhanxun.
The multimedia integrated core chip - SC6600D, this chip has powerful functions. In addition to being a CPU, it can also complete audio baseband processing, its own power supply and mainstream MP3 and MP4 functions. Using this chip, you can't see power IC, audio IC or even multimedia processing IC on mobile phone products, and the circuit is very simple.
Chen Changliu looks like MediaTek's turnkey solution.
However, Chen Changliu really became interested in Zhanxun. After MediaTek's turnkey plan came out, Zhanxun dared to launch such a multimedia integrated solution. It seems that it should have avoided MediaTek's patents.
And although there is no chip price in the information, if you take the initiative to find the flower grower, then the price can definitely be negotiated.
In fact, to be honest, all domestic mobile phone manufacturers now have no bargaining power in the chip market. After all, there are only three or two chip brands, and they are all foreign, so there is no need to think about bargaining power in China.
For example, if Zhonghuajia now goes to MediaTek, it will not have any bargaining power at all. Although the two companies cooperated well on the first mobile phone wafer, and Zhonghuajia shipped tens of millions of mobile phones annually, it is impossible to have bargaining power on the new generation of wafers.
Because there was no product on the market that could replace MediaTek's mobile phone wafer solution before, and mobile phone wafers are irreplaceable core components of mobile phones.
However, the current Zhanxun actually made Chen Changliu see a little bit of this possibility. After all, it is no longer a single seller market, and there is the possibility of substitution.
Although Zhonghuajia cannot know the reliability of the performance of this wafer now, who cares, as long as there are competitors.
Before there were no competitors, MediaTek had the confidence to face Zhonghuajia, which shipped tens of millions of units annually, but when competitors appeared, everything was possible.
After all, even if MediaTek's wafers are now selling well in the cottage mobile phone market and other mobile phone manufacturers, it does not mean that Zhonghuajia Technology Co., Ltd. is not important.
Chen Changliu, who had sorted out his thoughts, felt relieved, and at this time Ke Meng came.
Ke Meng, who came over, actually asked Zhao Yanan to knock on the door politely according to the procedure, and then came in after Chen Changliu agreed.
Ke Meng's face was serious when she came in, and she acted like a subordinate reporting to her boss.
Chen Changliu just found it funny. Usually, as long as she came over and confirmed with Zhao Yanan that no one was reporting work, she would push the door and come in without hesitation, just like entering her own office.
Now that she did this, Chen Changliu knew that she must be a little girl's temper, which made Chen Changliu feel particularly interesting. This kind of little girl's temper has not appeared in Ke Meng for a long time.
However, Chen Changliu was not angry. He was gone for a month, and when he came back, he only hugged Ke Meng for a few minutes and left. Then for two consecutive days, he was with Du Zhiqiu. It was a problem that she had no emotions.
However, Chen Changliu had a way to deal with such Ke Meng. He originally wanted to leave work early today and take Ke Meng to watch a movie or something to compensate, but now it was obviously not possible, and it had to be solved in advance.
Chen Changliu, who had guessed Ke Meng's thoughts, had plenty of ways to do it. The simplest and most effective way was of course to stop talking about what you could do.
In this case, for a woman who loves you, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a deep level of physical and mental communication. If it doesn't work once, do it a few more times.
