Chapter 589 1 Super Strong, Xingyi Dominates

"Xiaomi 5 can be launched ahead of schedule!" Lei Jun agreed:

"Xingyi's mobile phones are so good that they release several new products every year. We Xiaomi need to work harder."

"The next few years will be a critical period for domestic mobile phones to expand their territory. Xiaomi cannot let us down and must adopt the strategy of launching a large number of mobile phones!"

"That's right. A Xiaomi phone can only sell five million units at most. So we can release four models a year and directly reach a scale of 2000 million!" Lao Li said with a smile.

Lei Jun was a little worried: "Four mobile phones a year, will it be enough in terms of R&D?"

Lao Li waved his hand and said, "That's not a problem at all. The Xiaomi Mi 706 with Kunpeng 4 and the Xiaomi Mi 902 Pro with Kunpeng 4, which will be released early next year, are actually redesigns of the same phone. The Xiaomi Mi 505C with Kunpeng 3 and the Xiaomi Mi 906 with Kunpeng 5 in the second half of the year are both Kunpeng chips from Xingyi Technology, and both come with motherboard chipset design services, which greatly shortens the R&D cycle and difficulty. We can definitely release four phones a year."

"So that's it." Lei Jun suddenly realized.

With Xiaomi's current strength, it is simply impossible to develop four new mobile phones in a year.

But with Xingyi Technology's motherboard chipset design service, it is equivalent to developing two mobile phones, the difficulty is greatly reduced and it becomes easy.

After reaching a consensus, Lei Jun and his partner walked out of the meeting room and approached Wang Yi:

"Mr. Wang, Xiaomi has placed an order for 500 million Kunpeng 906 SOCs, including motherboard chipset design services."

Wang Yi smiled and extended his hand: "Happy cooperation."

The unit price of five million Kunpeng 906s is 330 yuan, plus the motherboard chipset design service is 340 yuan, which means another 17 billion yuan is in hand!

The profit after deducting costs exceeds 10 billion RMB, which is enough to cover the R&D expenses.

Although Kunpeng 906 is much more powerful than Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, its R&D cost is much lower than Qualcomm Snapdragon 805.

There is no other reason. The CPU and GPU of Kunpeng 906 are upgraded from Kunpeng 902. There is no need to develop them from scratch, so the cost is naturally low.

According to George's calculations, the total R&D cost + tape-out cost of Kunpeng 906 is only 1.5 million US dollars, or about billion RMB.

However, the R&D cost of Snapdragon 805 is billions of RMB.

Firstly, Snapdragon 805 was developed almost from scratch in order to achieve its terrifying performance.

Secondly, the labor cost in the United States is much higher than in China, and the efficiency is much lower.

Third, Kunpeng 906 was a direct success in its first tape-out, while Snapdragon 805 required continuous investment and bottomless investment in subsequent optimization and improvement in order to control energy consumption and reduce the possibility of rollover.

In fact, a successful chip at one time does not cost much, one to two hundred million US dollars is enough.

However, the subsequent R&D investment and continuous improvements for a failed chip prolong the time and increase the cost, often costing US$300 million or even US$400 million.

Just like launching a satellite, the cost of succeeding once is always much lower than trying twice.

Just as Xiaomi placed the order, Meizu CEO Huang came over and said, "CEO Wang, Meizu has placed an order for 500 million Kunpeng 906s and motherboard chipset designs."

Another 17 billion in hand!

Together with the five million units sold by Meizu, Kunpeng 906 has sold 1000 million units, with revenue of 34 billion.

Wang Yi naturally welcomed this, but was also somewhat surprised by Meizu's big move.

Meizu has previously placed orders for 500 million Kunpeng 902s and 706 million Kunpeng s, which means a total volume of million.

Add to that five million Kunpeng 906s, for a total of 1500 million.

This is a radical development for both Meizu and Xiaomi at the moment.

Wang Yi is not too worried about Xiaomi's aggressiveness. Lei Jun has money and Shunwei Capital is behind him, so he is not short of money at all.

But since Meizu is so radical, it’s hard to say.

No, such radicalism is not in line with Lao Huang’s style. Something must have happened... Wang Yi fell into memories.

By the way, 2014 was the turning point for Meizu!

In its previous life, in 2014, Meizu only released the MX4 and MX4Pro, and the total sales of Meizu mobile phones in 2014 were less than five million units.

But in 2015, Meizu released four or five mobile phones at once, and its annual sales volume directly reached 2000 million units, reaching the peak of Meizu!

The reason is that Huang, who has always been averse to capital, suddenly opened up his mind and introduced investment from Alibaba.

With Alibaba's investment, Meizu has funds. In addition, as the originator of domestic smartphones, it is already very strong. It is also the Huangpu Military Academy of the mobile phone industry and has no shortage of talent.

Meizu has both money and people, so it is natural that its size has expanded by 400%.

Now it seems that the result is similar, and the action is even faster than in the previous life.

In the past, Meizu only introduced Ali investment in early 2015, but this time, due to the emergence of Xingyi Technology, everything has been accelerated under the butterfly effect. Meizu may introduce Ali investment next year!

No wonder there was a sudden and aggressive development, with orders for 1500 million chips placed!

It means starting to change and introducing capital.

As for the reason why Huang changed his mind, it is actually very simple. It was completely stimulated by Lei Jun.

My own 'apprentices' are developing rapidly. If I, as a master, don't work harder, then it will be the end, right?

Huang, who has always been averse to capital, began to introduce investment from Alibaba and even signed a bet agreement.

Wang Yi expressed his support and welcome for this.

Either explode in silence or perish in silence.

If Meizu continues to be small and beautiful, and its annual sales volume is still less than 10 million, it really has no future.

In the future, the domestic mobile phone industry will be eliminated by the waves, and those with annual sales of less than 10 million will not be able to survive. Every one of them will die!

Even those with annual sales below 20 million are having trouble maintaining stability.

This is also the reason why Wang Yi dared to release the Kunpeng 906SOC as soon as possible and sell the motherboard chipset design, fingerprint module, fast charging module, etc. to third parties.

Even with Xingyi Technology's advanced modules, it is difficult for these third-party brands to grow rapidly, let alone catch up with Xingyi mobile phones.

Don't even think about it.

Not to mention Meimi O/V, even China Cool Alliance can’t do it.

This time, Huawei can't beat the Xingyi phone, let alone other domestic mobile phones.

Wang Yi sold all the components to keep these domestic mobile phone manufacturers alive, which was better than all other brands dying and only one or two strong ones remaining.

If other domestic brands are dead and only Apple, Samsung and Huawei are left, it will have a little impact on Xingyi mobile phones.

On the contrary, if Xiaomi, Xiaomi, and China Unicom all survive, they will snatch away a large market share from Apple, Samsung, and Huawei, and seriously weaken Apple, Samsung, and Huawei.

No matter how powerful Xingyi mobile phones are, it is impossible for them to monopolize the market. However, with the development of time, it is still possible to gradually form a pattern of "one super and many strong" .

By then, the global mobile phone market will be divided into four levels:

Super overlord: Xingyi mobile phone.

Big giants: Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and Wi-Fi.

Small giants: Zhongku Lian, Meimi, OV, Gionee, TCL and LG.

Others.

Afterwards, CEOs of brands such as Zhongku Lian, OV, etc. also came out one after another and placed orders.

"Mr. Wang, ZTE has placed an order for 1000 million Kunpeng 906s!"

"Coolpad placed an order for 1000 million units!"

“Lenovo places order for 1000 million units!”

“OPPO places an order for 1000 million units!”

"Vivo placed an order for 1000 million units!"

……

These brands are all established manufacturers that have existed since the era of feature phones. They have also developed rapidly in the smartphone sector in recent years, with annual sales in the tens of millions.

On the contrary, the two up-and-coming companies, Meizu and Xiaomi, seem a bit immature compared to these old big companies.

Not surprisingly, these established large companies, which already had impressive annual sales, had one company placing orders for tens of millions of Kunpeng 906s.

Their flagship phones have sold tens of millions of units, so that shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, these old and established manufacturers not only sell online, but each has nearly 10,000 offline stores.

On average, one store sells five million units a year, and nearly ten thousand stores mean sales of four to five million!

No pressure at all.

These days, offline sales are still slightly higher than online sales.

But a few years later, the situation was reversed.

Later, CEOs of international brands such as Sony and LG also came out.

"Mr. Wang, Sony has placed an order for 906 million Kunpeng s!"

"LG places order for 1000 million Kunpeng 906s!"

"BlackBerry places order for 500 million Kunpeng 906s!"

These international brands have been doing quite well in the past two years. Now that Kunpeng 906 has been released, it has stronger performance and is not a failure. Naturally, people want to place orders for it. The key is how much to order.

Instead, Nokia fell into deep thought.

The CEO said calmly: "It seems that the Snapdragon 805 will definitely fail. We can't buy any of them. The Snapdragon 800 we have already bought is no match for the Kunpeng 902, let alone the Kunpeng 906. It is totally no match."

"Yes, it is necessary to completely abandon Qualcomm chips, stop placing orders, and go all in on Kunpeng chips."

"That's right. Snapdragon 805 has weak performance and failed again. It's not worth buying. Just buy 1000 million Kunpeng 906s!"

"I think it's OK. We will clear out the Snapdragon chip inventory in the first half of next year, and launch two new Lumia phones equipped with Kunpeng 906 in the second half of the year. Each phone will sell for 500 million units. There's no pressure."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Finally, Nokia CEO also walked out of the reception room: "Mr. Wang, Nokia has placed an order for 1000 million Kunpeng 906s!"

"Welcome to join the Kunpeng camp, and I wish the phone will sell well!" Wang Yi said with a smile.

This huge order of 906 million Kunpeng satellites is of extraordinary significance!

Even Qualcomm's last loyal brand has defected, which means Qualcomm is heading for further decline!

Xingyi Semiconductor achieved further great success.

At this point, the Kunpeng 906 launch and ordering conference came to a successful conclusion.

Wang Yi walked onto the stage and looked at the crowd: "Thank you for your support. Kunpeng 906 will be officially put into mass production this month, and the first batch of mass-produced products will be delivered to major customers around the end of the month, making it easier for major customers to develop new flagship phones for next year."

"As for the Kunpeng 906 motherboard chipset design, it will be available to you in early March."

"In the future, Xingyi Semiconductor will continue to work hard to continuously develop powerful and cool 64-bit processors for our customers. And all future processors will be available for pre-sale soon after release!"

"If nothing else, our upgrade speed will only be faster than Qualcomm and Apple!"

Upon hearing this, the CEOs of major brands became excited.

"That's great. We can release it and sell it right away. We just need to develop the phone ourselves." The CEO of LG Mobile said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's just right that we can polish Sony's new flagship!"

“BlackBerry will also release a new flagship next year.”

As one of the top mobile phone brands, LG and Sony still have their own bottom line and will not use Xingyi Technology's motherboard design if they can.

As for BlackBerry, there is no way around it. Their BlackBerry OS system is quite unique, and BlackBerry phones are also quite unique. Using Xingyi Technology's motherboard chipset design will not be suitable for the local environment.

Nokia's CEO frowned and muttered in his heart: "These bastards actually installed it for me?"

'Do you still think that independent research and development is noble?'

'That's great!'

'However, big brands still have to maintain their independent R&D capabilities. So, next year, there will be two new Lumia phones equipped with Kunpeng 906. One will use the motherboard chipset design of Xingyi Technology, and the other will be developed by us! '
