Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 253: Machine King of the Year, millions sold out!
"Are you also watching the X phone 1 press conference?" Wang Yi was a little surprised.

It's noon in the Imperial City, and it should be almost early morning in the Empire.

"Of course! Such a wonderful press conference is a rare technological feast. I can't miss it!"

Jacob was so excited that his words were full of excitement:
"30 units were sold online in fifteen minutes. Including offline, it is estimated that 50 units were sold! Director Wang, you have created a miracle, an incredible miracle!"

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "I have to thank Mr. Jacob for his support. If you hadn't upgraded half of the 8260s to 8660s, X phone 1 wouldn't be able to provide full network access!"

The CPU chips of 8260 and 8660 are exactly the same, the only difference is that the baseband chip is different.

The baseband chip of 8260 does not support CDMA, does not support telecommunications, and is not full Netcom.

And 8660 supports CDMA, supports telecommunications, and is full Netcom!
The original five-million-dollar order between Wang Yi and Qualcomm was for half 8260 and half 8660.

But later, Jacob felt that the baseband costs of 8260 and 8660 were about the same, and Wang Yi needed more chips, so he simply upgraded them all to 8660 All-Network basebands as a favor to Wang Yi.

In this way, if the Xingyi mobile phone sells well, and if you continue to place additional orders in the future, you will choose Qualcomm Dual Core instead of Nvidia and Texas Instruments!
In the current chip market, Qualcomm is not yet the dominant player, Texas Instruments is not dead, and Nvidia is also working hard to become stronger.

Nvidia's Tegra 3 quad-core processor is estimated to be available in March next year, and it will be the era of quad-core!

It can be said that how much Qualcomm's dual-core can sell depends on Wang Yi's X phone 1.

"Okay!" Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"As your eternal friend, I, Jacob, and Qualcomm are happy to serve!"

But Jacob and Wang Yi both know how difficult it is!

Qualcomm's 8x60 series asynchronous dual-core processors, no matter how awesome they are, are still dual-core, and they will be outdated by then.

Wang Yi and Jacob both know these stakes.

The remaining three million sets of chips will be delivered within half a month, and this month will be enough.

This is also an important consideration for Jacob to take the initiative to upgrade the baseband chip for Wang Yi!

This makes Qualcomm's current situation even more dangerous.

"Director Wang, the sales of X phone 1 are so hot. These five million units are not enough. How much more will you order?" Jacob was full of expectations.

Qualcomm's quad-core processor will not be available until August or even September next year at the earliest. A full five or six months too late!
The second generation of Xiaomi in the previous life was the world premiere of Qualcomm APQ8.16 quad-core processor on 8064, but it only started large-scale distribution in October.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Hurry, get your orders in!
It’s not in vain to upgrade the baseband for free!

Apple will also abandon TSMC for next year’s A6 and choose Samsung’s 32nm process.

It won’t be able to overtake Nvidia’s quad-core until August next year.

Before August 2012, Qualcomm could only use dual-core to compete with Nvidia's quad-core.

If Wang Yi buys more, Qualcomm's life will be easier.

The last five million chips + baseband, after Wang Yi bargained, the final unit price was US$34, and he ordered half of the 8260 and half of the 8660.

It’s hard to get there in advance.

Wang Yi changed the subject: "But I need your help next time."

Only Qualcomm’s quad-core is waiting hard for TSMC’s 28nm, until after August...

As soon as NVIDIA quad-core is launched, other brands will abandon Qualcomm dual-core and choose NVIDIA quad-core!
Many brands have even canceled Qualcomm dual-core orders for their flagship phones that were due to be released now, choosing to postpone their release until next year!
Just waiting for Nvidia’s world’s first quad-core processor!

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "X phone 1 is currently in hot sales. The three million sets of processors and basebands that have not been delivered should be delivered as soon as possible!"

More importantly, Qualcomm's current situation is a bit embarrassing.

Sure enough, Jacob made the right bet!
X phone 1 is really selling out!
Adding orders for chips is also a matter of course.

Jacob smiled, such a super big customer cannot be offended.

If Wang Yi buys less, Qualcomm will have to drink from the northwest wind for five months.

All the previous preferential treatments are for placing additional orders at this moment!

"Wang, how many Qualcomm processors and baseband chips do you need? I will give you priority and ensure timely supply! It is still the 8660 full Netcom version!"

By the second half of next year, when the yield rate has improved dramatically and production capacity is sufficient, Qualcomm's quad-core can be mass-produced on a large scale.

After all, Wang Yi still has one million sets of chips in hand, which is enough for the time being.

Wang Yi smiled: "It's no problem to add an order, but the price..."

Wang Yi smiled. Qualcomm has not yet monopolized the market, so it is still easy to talk.

There is no way, in the eyes of consumers, dual-core is not as good as quad-core.

Without him, Qualcomm 8064 is the world's first 28nm mobile chip. The reason why it is difficult to produce is that it is waiting for TSMC's 28nm process to mature and produce capacity!
TSMC’s 28nm process has just started production, but the yield rate is not high and the production capacity is insufficient.

It won’t take too long to ship from TSMC to the mainland, so it’s not too late.

"No problem, Director Wang, all Qualcomm chip production capacity will be given priority to Xingyi Technology!" Jacob assured:
"I just contacted the foundry. There are currently one million sets of chips and one million sets of basebands. They were originally orders from other customers, but they were given priority to you and will be shipped today! The remaining two million sets of orders are from TSMC We will go all out to produce and deliver it within half a month!”

"It is our honor to be able to help Director Wang." Jacob was in a good mood.

It is precisely because of the slow progress of TSMC's 28nm that Nvidia will choose the 40nm process for next year's quad-core processor.

Therefore, Qualcomm’s quad-core products will most likely be available in August or September.

But in the end, it was upgraded to 8660 for free.

Now that two months have passed, the price of chips has dropped, so it is natural to renegotiate the price.

"Prince, please rest assured, the price we give you will always be the lowest!"

"Rebus came to me some time ago, and I promised him 50 sets of 8260, US$34, which would be shipped at the end of February."

"For you, Mr. Wang, 8660 full network access, directly for 31 US dollars. It will be available at the end of December. You can get as much as you want. It will not delay Mr. Wang's use!"

This price is full of sincerity.

There is no way, Jacob knows who is the big customer and who is little Kami!
How could it be possible to pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon?

"Okay, since Mr. Jacobs is so happy, then I will add another 500 million processors and million basebands!"

"Is it just five million sets?" Jacob was a little disappointed.

In the next nine months, Qualcomm will have to rely on its backward dual-core technology to survive.

At present, other flagship phones are waiting for NVIDIA's quad-core. How much Qualcomm's dual-core can sell depends on Wang Yi!

Naturally, I hope Wang Yi will order more.

Wang Yi knew what Jacob was thinking and couldn't help but have an idea.

According to the current momentum of X phone 1, it will sell 1000 million units in half a year, which is not a big pressure.

But in half a year we will enter the quad-core era, and it will be hard to say unless there is a big price cut.

Obviously Wang Yi couldn't accept this.

At that time, you will have to use X phone 1pro to take over, quad-core versus quad-core!

Unfortunately, NVIDIA only has 500 million sets of quad-core processors. It will be no problem to add another 500 million sets of processors in the future, but it lacks baseband chips!

If you continue to buy Qualcomm baseband chips separately, Qualcomm will definitely not sell them.

Then if we buy 1 million more sets of Qualcomm dual-core chips + basebands, and allocate these 1000 million Qualcomm basebands to NVIDIA quad-core chips, then the X phone pro will have a production capacity of million units!
It was enough to sell all the way until Qualcomm's quad-core was launched in August and September, and the second generation of Xingyi mobile phone was released.

The remaining five million sets of Qualcomm application chips are fine without the baseband and can be used to produce the first generation of Xingyi tablets!
For tablets, a dual-core processor is enough, and it can be released in advance.

There’s no need to wait until September next year, Nvidia’s quad-core chips are cutting prices!

Such integration of resources is perfect!
Well, Qualcomm baseband is not willing to sell it separately at a low price, so I will buy it as a set with the processor chip and use it separately!
Is this no problem?
After reading this, Wang Yi sighed:
"Although X phone 1 is currently selling very well, when mobile phones equipped with NVIDIA quad-core chips are launched in April next year, our X phone 1 will be unsalable! It can be said that the sales cycle of our X phone 1 is only five months. It will be sold in five months 5 million units, this is unrealistic! So 1500 can only order 8660 million units."

"This..." Jacob was silent.

This is a big problem.

If all products are dual-core next year, it will be no problem for the X phone 1 to sell 1500 million units.

But once the quad-core comes up, it's hard to say.

But Qualcomm really has no way out: "Dr. Wang, what if, what if it sells 1500 million units in five months?"

"Mr. Jacob, do you believe this?" Wang Yi smiled.

Jacob was speechless: "..."

But he still didn’t want to give up: “Let’s place an additional order of 700 million pieces. There shouldn’t be any pressure on 700 million pieces. Director Wang has the strength.”

Wang Yi decisively refused, and Jacob tried his best to fight for it.

After several rounds of communication, Wang Yi sighed:
"Mr. Jacobs, Nvidia's quad-core is about to be released, and I understand Qualcomm's situation. Well, let me give it a try and add 1100 million processor chips + 1100 million full Netcom basebands, a total of 2200 million chips. But The price is $25!”

"2200 million chips..." Jacob's expression was complicated, with a mixture of sadness and joy.

The happy thing is of course that Wang Yi is willing to place an additional order for 2200 million chips, so Qualcomm can make huge profits!

Sadly, the price of $25 is so cheap that the profit margin is slim.

Seeing Jacob's hesitation, Wang Yi put pressure decisively:
"Mr. Jacobs, you should know that a few months before quad-core became popular, I placed an order for so many dual-core chips from Qualcomm. What a risk I took! If I couldn't sell them, I would lose them all!"

"This..." Jacob nodded in agreement.

These days, Wang Yi is the only one who dares to buck the trend and buy their Qualcomm dual-core chips in large quantities.

Others, like Xiaomi, only make a few hundred thousand.

Or just give up Qualcomm dual-core and wait for Nvidia quad-core.

"Okay, just for $25!"

Jacob agreed, it was better to make less money than no money at all.

"In addition, the supply time..." Wang Yi paused: "We can't wait until NVIDIA's quad-core is launched, and we are still supplying dual-core, right?"

Jacob smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang. Next, Qualcomm chips will be given priority to Xingyi Technology. There are still three million units left in the previous order. One million units will arrive in about a week, and the remaining two million units will take half a month." Arrival within 100 days. The new large order of 2200 million units, together with the previous 500 million baseband chips, will be delivered in January, February and March, with 1 million processors and 2 million basebands delivered every month!"

"Okay!" Wang Yi responded: "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

As a result, there are 1100 million sets of 8660 processor + baseband, and 600 million sets are used for X phone 1. The estimated sales of X phone 1 will reach 1100 million units.

The remaining 500 million sets of processors and basebands are used separately.

500 million baseband chips are used in X phone 1pro, and the estimated sales of X phone 1pro will reach 1000 million units.

The remaining 500 million 8660 processors, without the baseband, are just used for Xingyi tablets.

Tablets have limited sales. Even iPads, the current annual sales in China are only 800-1000 million units.

It would be great if the Xingyi X pad could sell 500 million units, and Wang Yi didn’t ask for too much.

Back at Xingyi Science and Technology Park, Zhu Changlin was already waiting at the door:
"Chairman, the sales are overwhelming! One million units were in stock within an hour of going online, and 13 units were sold. The inventory system shows that there are 64 17G versions left online, and only 64 16G units left in offline inventory. version. Both the 32G and G versions are sold out!”

"Coupled with offline data delays, I'm afraid the inventory will be less than 30 units!"

Wang Yi burst into laughter: "Sales have indeed exceeded expectations, mainly because the pricing is too low."

Mobile phones these days, with similar configurations to Xiaomi, cost over 3000, and the only 1999 Xiaomi model is out of stock!
The configuration of X phone 1 is so much higher, it only starts at 3299 yuan, and a dual membership of 300 yuan is equivalent to 2999 yuan. I can only say that the price-performance ratio is unbeatable!

"Fortunately, there is a 64G version hanging in stock, otherwise it would be really embarrassing if they were all sold out." Wang Yida said.

"Yeah, who would have thought that one million dollars in stock is not enough to sell. It's really not our fault that we are hungry for marketing!" Zhu Changlin was also suffering and happy.

"How is the factory capacity?"

"The production lines are still being added. The current daily production capacity is only about 6 units. When the production lines are fully added, it will reach about 8.3 units. But it will take time."

"So how much is our factory expected to produce this month?"

"Production capacity is ramping up this month, and is estimated to be around 200 million units, and will reach 250 million units next month."

"It's not enough!" Wang Yi was furious: "With such a hot sales momentum, I can sell it for another 300 million this month, but I can't make it! This won't work!"

Wang Yi frowned slightly: "We have to find an OEM." "That's right, we can increase the monthly production capacity by at least 100 million. The suppliers have notified them of additional orders, and the prices have been negotiated. They are all more expensive than before. Discounts, for big customers like us, they don’t dare to mess around.”

Wang Yi nodded: "Very good, the chip has been negotiated, and the price is beautiful. I'll contact BYD and let BYD manufacture it."

"it is good."

Wang Yi directly dialed Shopkeeper Wang's phone number, and a hearty laugh came directly from the other party:

"Haha, congratulations to Mr. Wang for selling so many mobile phones! 15 units were online in 30 minutes. Now the total sales have exceeded units, right? That's amazing!"

"Oh, don't mention it. We have 100 million units in stock, which is not enough to sell. Shopkeeper Wang, you have to help!"

"No problem, Director Wang, I'm just waiting for your call." Shopkeeper Wang was overjoyed, the big order is here!
BYD Electronics is a OEM manufacturer, including mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.

Coupled with the construction of factories around the world, there will be a shortage of enough orders.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I need you to OEM five million units of X phone 1. I will ask the supplier to send the components directly to your factory. The OEM fee will be at your expense, but we require delivery as soon as possible. The sooner the better! "

There is no way, Wang Yi is in a hurry here!

Mobile phone sales were the best in the first two months, but sales began to halve in the third month.

Even if it sells 300 million units in each of the first two months, I'm afraid it will only sell 150 million units in the third month, unless there is a big price cut.

Electronic products are updated too quickly.

How much the X phone 1 can sell depends on the shipment volume in December and January!

It will be cut in half in February. As for March, the quad-core era is coming, and the sales of the dual-core X phone 2 will still drop!

Wang Yi had to rush!

"As for the OEM fee, Foxconn's price is 5-6 US dollars, which is the price in the industry. Mr. Wang, you are my noble man, I will charge you 4.5 US dollars!" Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile:

"As for production capacity, don't worry, I will arrange as many production lines as possible and strive to deliver goods as soon as possible!"

Because X phone 1 uses BYD's anti-freeze battery, BYD's stock price has risen from 12 Hong Kong dollars half a month ago to 17 Hong Kong dollars.

Even if capital and institutional shipments fall back to HK$16, BYD's market value will still increase by 33%!

For BYD, whose revenue is unsightly and its stock price has plummeted continuously, it is like a rain of relief after a long drought!
How could Shopkeeper Wang not keep such a friendship in mind?
Now that Wang Yi is in need, he will naturally go all out.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang."

"Dr. Wang is so polite. If we provide OEM for X phone 1, BYD's revenue and profits will increase a lot, and the stock price will continue to rise. It's a win-win situation!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, a win-win situation. Please take care of the production capacity!"

"Don't worry, Director Wang!"

With BYD OEM, the production capacity of X phone 1 will soon be increased again.

In addition, the Xingyi mobile phone factory is also increasing its production lines and its daily production capacity. The output of X phone 1 this month is still guaranteed.

Wang Yi looked at Zhu Changlin: "Everything has been arranged. Now we just have to wait for the components to arrive at the BYD factory and then start mass production! This will take about a week. You have to arrange the handover!"

"Don't worry, Chairman, I will go to the BYD factory in person and keep an eye on this matter!" Zhu Changlin said decisively.

These subordinates recruited by Wang Yi are all like him, resolute and do what they say.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yi waved his hand and stopped:

"Arrange for the senior management responsible for the supply chain to go over and communicate this matter. You have more important tasks to do if you stay! Don't you think that if the X phone 1 is successful, your R&D department will be fine?"

"This..." Zhu Changlin was startled, and then suddenly realized: "Develop X phone 1pro!"

"Not only X phone 1pro, but also X pad, we need to develop it!"

Wang Yidao: "Since X phone 1 is successful, we must seize the opportunity to grow bigger, maintain our advantages, and hit the high end!"

"The X phone 1 is priced at 3299, 3799, and 4299, which is considered a mid-range mobile phone. Then the X phone 1pro launches the world's first quad-core processor, and it will strongly impact high-end mobile phones. The 16G version is priced at 3999, the 32G version is 4499, and the 64G version is 4999!"

Hearing this, Zhu Changlin was very excited: "As a domestic brand, it is incredible that the second mobile phone has hit the high-end. However, with the success and reputation of X phone 1, as long as X phone 1pro does better, there is still hope! "

Wang Yi agreed very much: "Yes, that's it. X phone 1pro is an upgrade based on X phone 1. There is no need to start new research and development. You lead people to come up with a plan as soon as possible, and then make a prototype and test it. If there is no problem, Mass production will begin in February and March, and sales will begin in April!”

"Okay, boss, there is absolutely no problem!" Zhu Changlin said: "It's just that besides upgrading the processor to quad-core, what else can be upgraded?"

Wang Yidao: "The appearance design remains unchanged. In addition to the black and white colors of the X phone 1, gray and silver can also be added."

In an era when mobile phones were only available in black and white, multiple grays and silvers were enough.

You can keep those good-looking colors for future generations and release them slowly.

Precise knife skills.

"The size has increased, and the X phone 1pro has been upgraded to a 4.7-inch screen. The RAM has been upgraded to 2G. The battery has been upgraded to 3000 mAh. Coupled with the beauty algorithm, it should be enough. As for fast charging, we will first see the progress of subsequent research and development before deciding. Do you want to go up? If you have other good suggestions, you can also mention them."

Wang Yi originally didn’t want to upgrade the screen size, but then he thought about it and decided to change it!

If X phone 1pro and X phone 1 have the same appearance and the same size, and you can’t tell them apart from the appearance, then who will spend an extra thousand yuan to buy the Pro?

It can only be distinguished by the screen size. The one with a large screen of 4.7 inches is the Pro version, and the one with a small screen of 4.3 inches is the X phone 1.

Only when consumers see Pro at a glance will they be willing to pay for it.

As for the 4.5-inch screen, there is not much visual difference between it and the 4.3-inch screen, and the difference is not obvious.

Coupled with the blessing of Xingyi Film and Television, the 4.7-inch viewing effect is obviously better.

What's more, Samsung and HTC have made 5.3-inch models and sold well. Wang Yi's 4.7-inch model also has no pressure.

If you like the big screen, go for the 4.7-inch Pro. If you don't like the big screen, you can also choose the 4.3-inch X phone 1.

The original production capacity was limited. In order to mass-produce Pro, X phone 1 had to stop production after four months and give up production to Pro.

But now they have found BYD as OEM. As long as there is still a market for X phone 1, even after X phone 1pro is launched, X phone 1 can still continue to place orders and continue to sell!

At worst, it will drop to 2999 in five months, and we will give you a double membership worth 2699 yuan, which is equivalent to , and it will still be a huge profit.

After all, after five months, the cost of components has dropped by RMB 1, and the price of X phone has been reduced by RMB , resulting in more profits.

In this way, there is the high-end model X phone 4000pro in the price range of 5000-1, and the mid-range model X phone 2000 in the price range of 4000-1.

If we only focus on high-end products and abandon the mid-range range of 2000-4000, we will only give up the market at this stage to our competitors.

Not worth the candle.

In 4988, when the iPhone was only priced at 2011, mobile phones with more than were considered mid-range flagship phones, equivalent to in ten years!

"Okay, Chairman, I understand."

Zhu Changlin understood instantly that the overall design would not be significantly changed, but would be partially upgraded.

"By the way, the quad-core processor must be very hot. We need to work harder on heat dissipation and add VC liquid cooling." Wang Yi thought of this problem.

The first generation of quad-core processors, whether it is Nvidia Tegra 3 or Qualcomm 8064, are immature and both generate heat well.

Although it is not as scary as 810, it is still serious.

If there is no heat dissipation, the car will definitely overturn.

And this is the opportunity for X phone 1pro. All other tegra 3 phones have collapsed, leaving only X phone 1pro to stand out.

Are you worried about selling then? No worries at all.

But Zhu Changlin was confused: "VC liquid cooling? How to do this?"

Although he served as a nominal 'product manager' at HTC and took the lead in making several good mobile phones, they were all technologies of the past.

He didn't understand what Wang Yi was doing.

Wang Yi smiled: "Do you understand the principle of heat pipe heat dissipation?"

"I know, this is a product of the last century. But what is VC liquid cooling?" Zhu Changlin was confused.

Wang Yi was also helpless: "Actually, VC liquid cooling and heat pipe heat dissipation share the same principle..."

After Wang Yi’s explanation, Zhu Changlin suddenly realized: “So that’s it, this is not difficult and can be done!”

Wang Yi was dumbfounded. The big shot in the industry was so good at naming names.

Stainless steel, said to be austenitic 304!

Heat pipe cooling technology is called "super strong VC liquid cooling" black technology!

Although the principle is the same, it sounds much more awesome.

Well, at the X phone 1pro launch conference, Wang Yi also boasted the same.

"Now that the R&D department has enough manpower, we will separate a team to make X pad!" Wang Yi continued.

"Chairman, the X pad R&D team started preparations after the mass production of X phone 1, and it is basically complete now."

"Very good! Who is in charge?" Wang Yi asked.

"I!"

Wang Yi: "..."

"Okay, you can do the work and I'll rest assured. I'll send you the X pad's appearance design and hardware requirements later, and you can lead the people to make it."

"Okay!" Zhu Changlin nodded: "The X pad will also be released in April, right?"

"Yes, are you stressed?"

"No!" Zhu Changlin said decisively.

"Very good. In addition, we will continue to recruit people. In the future, we will have more and more projects. There will be three or four mobile phones + one tablet a year."

Three mobile phones are enough this year. Next year there will be at least two flagship phones and two thousand-yuan phones!
"Okay!" Zhu Changlin responded:

"By the way, Chairman, now only the 1G version of X phone 64 is still in stock. The 16G and 32G are sold out. How will they be sold next? A total of about 6 units can be produced every day."

Wang Yi took a deep breath: "BYD will take time, and our production capacity will also take time to ramp up. There will be serious shortages in the next week or so. But it will gradually ease after a week!"

"Let's do this, start the pre-sale mode, the user places an order in full, and we ship the goods one by one according to the order of payment. After placing the order, if users want a refund because they don't want to wait, they can do so at any time!"

"Okay!" Zhu Changlin responded and quickly went to make arrangements.

This is the best way at the moment.

The production capacity distribution is still 1:2:2.

64G is the worst seller, so it has to be sold.

Those who don’t want to wait will bite the bullet and get the 4299G top version for 64!
Soon, Song Sining also returned to the apartment:
"The sales are so popular that there are only 64 G units left online, and they won't last long."

"Yes, but we have already found the additional order and the OEM. After the most difficult week in the future, it will become easier and easier." Wang Yi said, giving him a cup of hot water.

"That's good!" Song Sining drank a few sips. As soon as she put down the cup, Wang Yi hugged her and took her to the next room.

"You...are there during the day!"

"Better in the daytime..."

"You are Bai Rixuan..."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's obviously to celebrate the sales of X phone 1!"

Song Sining was speechless: "..."

"Only you are right!" Song Sining said angrily, then she put her arms around Wang Yi's neck and kissed him...

On the Meiyou forum, it exploded:

"It's crazy, it's crazy. It's only been an hour and a half and it's already out of stock. Even the 64G ones are gone! It's so heartbreaking!"

"The 16G and 32G versions were out of stock in 64 minutes. I was still hesitating whether to buy the 64G version just now, but now it's okay, the G version is gone!"

"Try your luck offline, don't think about it online, it's completely sold out."

"It's no use offline. In any store, there are more people queuing than on mobile phones, so you can't buy it at all!"

"The million-dollar stock is gone now? He is truly worthy of being the Machine King of the Year!"
