Chapter 334: A business genius worth 50 billion US dollars! Tiangong T100 chip!
At dawn the next day, the sky turned pale and the sound of wind chimes came to my ears.
Chen Yansen slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of milky fragrance entered his nose.
In the master bedroom of more than 30 square meters, in addition to a soft large bed of 1.8 meters, there is only a dressing table and a clothes rack, and the furnishings are simple and orderly.
A set of lace pajamas with very little fabric lay quietly on the walnut floor.
Last night, Mr. Chen was invited to Mr. Ye’s home to drink sweet soup to celebrate Pinbei’s single-day sales exceeding 2 billion.
It has to be said that Ye Qiuping is indeed talented in making soups and sweet soups. Although she was a little clumsy at first, her skills have become more and more sophisticated, making Mr. Chen unable to extricate himself.
Chen Yansen sat up from the bed and reached out to take the mobile phone from the bedside. It was 4:57 and the sky outside the window was still gray.
Ye Qiuping lay on her side, with the thin air-conditioning blanket only covering her lower abdomen.
Girls from Sichuan have fair skin, and Master Ye is no exception. Her belly is flat with no fat, and feels as smooth as silk to the touch.
Although he had only slept for less than three hours, Chen Yansen was full of energy and not tired at all. He put on his slippers and walked towards the living room.
The cool autumn wind makes the wind chimes on the balcony ring crisply.
Chen Yansen sat down on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and opened a scanned version of "Battery Technology: Materials and Components".
Time passed minute by minute, and when the morning light began to appear and a faint ray of sunlight shone in, he had already finished reading dozens of reference books on energy storage and conversion.
Afterwards, Chen Yansen opened the Toutiao APP and quickly browsed the hot news of the past two days.
'The signing of the "Search Engine Service Self-Discipline Convention" will effectively curb vicious competition among companies! '
'360 sued Qiandu for abusing the Robots protocol to monopolize the market, the first instance verdict: Zhou Hongyi lost the case! '
In Chen Yansen's opinion, Zhou Hongyi did not lose. After a game of chess, 360 Search's market share successfully jumped from 0 to 8.7%, surpassing Sogou and becoming the second largest search engine service provider.
It can be said that he lost face but won substance.
Lingxi Search's market share has reached 6.1%, ranking fourth in the industry, and the gap between it and Sogou is only one step away.
From August to October, in just two months, Qiandu lost nearly 15% of its market share in the search field.
'Gome integrates Kuba.com and Gome Online to accelerate e-commerce business collaboration and officially join the Double Eleven promotion!'
'Mango TV is preparing for "I Am a Singer", and music variety shows are heating up.'
'Amazon launches global store opening plan to attract cross-border sellers! '
'Didi Bike accelerates urban sharing plan, a test of national quality?'
Chen Yansen clicked on the last piece of news.
With a 50 million yuan investment from Innovation Works, a 199 yuan riding deposit for each account, and a supplier settlement model with phased payments, Didi Bike has deployed 1,000 shared bicycles in the Yanjing area.
In an interview with IT Times Weekly, Cheng Wei claimed that Didi Bike has more than 10,000 registered users and is operating well. It plans to expand the number of bikes to 10,000 in November and to 30,000 in December.
Chen Yansen smiled and didn't take it to heart.
Starting early does not necessarily mean you will arrive at the destination first.
At this time, Ye Qiuping in the room woke up slowly. She didn't see Chen Yansen at first glance, so she quickly put on her pajamas and walked out of the bedroom.
Seeing him leaning against the sofa playing with his cell phone, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked over in small steps.
"Boss, you went to bed at two o'clock last night and got up at eight o'clock in the morning. Did you get enough sleep?"
Ye Qiuping half-knelt in front of Chen Yansen, looked up at him, and asked in a soft voice.
The neckline was slightly open, revealing a hint of snow-white. She knew that Chen Yansen could see everything from his perspective, but she wanted to do it this way.
Chen Yansen's lips curled up slightly, and he understood her thoughts. He put down his phone, picked up Ye Qiuping, and walked straight to the big bed in the master bedroom. He smiled and said, "I really didn't get enough sleep. I need to take another nap."
It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that Chen Yansen walked down the car refreshed, sat in the back seat of the Ghost, and told Xiao Li to return to the company.
Along the way, from time to time you can see Yunsu couriers in gray work clothes, Kuaipao food deliverymen in orange jackets, and online-hailing taxis with the slogan "Fast Taxi" printed on the body of the car.
It was only late October 2012! Under his influence, the application ecology of mobile Internet became increasingly rich, and the three major operators, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, all launched small-scale TD-LTE 4G network tests to pave the way for subsequent commercial use.
For this purpose, he also asked Zhao Maolin about the issuance date of the 4G license. Old Zhao said with certainty that it would be next year at the latest.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the wave of the mobile Internet era is unstoppable.
Half an hour later, the car drove into the Science and Technology Park. Chen Yansen got out and walked into Building No. 9.
When passing by the cold drink cabinet, I picked up a bottle of freshly squeezed mango juice, then took the elevator to the office on the top floor.
Since today is Sunday, most of the office areas are empty except for a few employees working overtime.
Including Pinbei, there are only members on duty and in the customer service team.
I turned on the computer and logged into my email. The first email I received was a product document from Mike Keller, chief scientist of the chip design department.
The content includes various core technical indicators, such as computing power, power consumption, process technology and interface standards, as well as core architecture, algorithm model, cost estimation, development cycle and other information.
Only one week after joining the company, he completed the product requirements for AI chips and converted them into rigorous technical specifications. His strong capabilities are evident.
Mike Keller is a graduate of an Ivy League school. He joined AMD fifteen years ago and was deeply involved in the research and development of the Athlon K7 processor. He later became the chief architect of K8. Nine years later, he joined Apple and led the team to develop the A4 and A5 chips.
In Apple's chip department, his rank and status are second only to the head Johnny Srouji, and his skill level and industry influence are comparable to that of Qualcomm's senior chief engineer.
However, that is all in the past. Now the other party is the chief scientist of Orange Technology's chip department and Wu Shengyu's immediate superior, responsible for the development of the Tiangong T100 artificial intelligence chip.
When Old Wu learned that the new leader was Mike Keller, he was completely stunned!
Mike Keller is also a well-known figure in the North American chip industry. Perhaps if he can hold on for another five to eight years, he will have the opportunity to be promoted to chief scientist or even become the head of Apple's chip department.
Is he crazy? He traveled thousands of miles to work in China. What is he trying to do? Wu Shengyu was puzzled! He couldn't figure it out at all!
Little did they know that his sudden resignation from Qualcomm and his resolute return to China after living in the beacon country for nearly twenty years were also extremely strange in the eyes of his family.
Chen Yansen dragged the mouse and quickly moved to the last page of the document. Including the main chip, memory and storage, WiFi and Bluetooth, microphone and other modules, the material cost was about 20 US dollars.
It seems to be more expensive than the current purchase cost of TI OMAP 3630, but Tiangong T100 integrates CPU, NPU, DSP, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication, and audio codec into one unit, which can save at least 50% of the cost.
By then, the material and production costs will be reduced to around 200 yuan, and the price of the Alexa smart speaker will be reduced to 89 US dollars (499 Huayuan) or even 79 US dollars (399 Huayuan), thereby greatly increasing shipments.
He knew that Amazon had launched the Echo smart voice assistant function and planned to develop a smart speaker product based on Alexa, but he calculated that even if Amazon strictly controlled the supply chain, the other party's material cost would not be less than US$70 per unit.
In addition, the costs of production, labor, transportation, sales and after-sales must also be considered, and the selling price will definitely not be lower than 150 US dollars!
But Chen Yansen was not worried at all! Because by the time the Echo smart speaker was released, the Tiangong T100 chip had already been released. If Bezos dared to sell it for 149 US dollars, he would dare to sell it for 89 US dollars, and sell the smart speaker as a common product.
at the same time.
The competition among Yaomao, Pinbei and Yidong for the Double Eleven promotion is intensifying. In order to gain traffic and customers, everyone is using various simple and crude red envelope activities as well as endless category coupons.
A Taobao user complained on Weibo that he didn't make any purchases, but there were hundreds of coupons in his account, ranging from store coupons to product coupons and category coupons, which were simply countless.
Yidong users also have similar complaints. The coupons are as numerous as the platform’s routines. They stay up late every day to grab coupons for fear of buying them at too high a price.
Only Pinbei is an outlier. It basically provides subsidy red envelopes with no threshold and rarely gives coupons to users crazily.
If it is issued occasionally, users can feel the sincerity, unlike the coupons from Dongfang, Suning and Taobao, which are full of various restrictions.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Suning was scolded and became a hot topic.
The reason is that the scope of use of the coupons for the "0 Yuan Purchase" activity is getting smaller and smaller, and most small household appliances are out of stock. Currently, only food, alcohol and beauty products are left, and most of them are white-label products, which makes people less interested in placing orders.
Suning was reluctant to restock the products! Some of the mobile phones, computers or home appliances purchased by users have arrived. If they want to return the products, they need to pay the shipping fee. The deceived users finally realized what was happening and started to curse.
The Jinling Municipal Supervision Association’s complaint phone number has been flooded with calls!
Seeing this, Liu Qiangdong immediately said on Weibo: "Some friendly companies can not afford to hold activities, but how can you deceive users?"
Huang Zheng is even more ruthless than Liangzai Dong. He has teamed up with Yunsu Express to issue 10-yuan express coupons with no threshold to Suning users.
Just upload the Suning return screenshot on Pinbei’s activity page.
The implication is that you can return the product with confidence! "Erhu lunatic! Is Huang Zheng crazy? Is there anyone who does business like him?"
After seeing Liu Qiangdong and Huang Zheng’s Weibo posts, Zhang Jindong’s face turned pale and blue, and he wished he could beat them to death with a brick.
He subconsciously wanted to take out his cell phone and call Chen Yansen.
Suning and Pinbei have always had a good relationship. Orange Technology has opened a flagship store in Suning, and Suning Appliance has also entered the Pinbei mall. However, Huang Zheng does not give them any face. What does this mean? Does he not want to cooperate with Suning anymore?
But he thought again, if Chen Yansen didn't nod, would Huang Zheng and Liao Wei dare to do this? To put it bluntly, the one who really wanted to snatch Suning's customers was Chen Yansen, that damned thing. Calling him was nothing but asking for trouble.
In a fit of anger, Zhang Jindong wanted to terminate his business cooperation with Pinbei, but he struggled for a long time and still couldn't make up his mind.
Firstly, they were reluctant to give up the traffic and sales output of Pinbei Mall; secondly, they were afraid of revenge from Chen Yansen.
Faced with Chen Yansen's vindictive character, Zhang Jindong had to be cautious. What if Pinbei focused on home appliances? Would Suning still be able to survive? Ten minutes later, Zhang Jindong sighed deeply, then narrowed his eyes and cursed: "Does Liu Qiangdong really think I'm afraid of him?"
After that, he immediately called the head of Suning's e-commerce department to redeploy the rhythm of the Double Eleven promotion, and launched a super group buying event targeting Dongfang's advantageous categories.
The products include 3C digital products, large appliances and small appliances. The price tags clearly state "200 yuan cheaper than Dongguan", "140 yuan cheaper than Dongguan" and "270 yuan cheaper than Dongguan".
At first, users did not believe it, but after copying the title and comparing prices on Dongfang, they found that the data was true! Netizens' positions changed instantly! You know, Liu Qiangdong vowed that "Dongfang's home appliances will not make a profit in three years", but at present, Suning's super group purchase is dozens to hundreds cheaper than Dongfang.
The user suddenly felt angry and felt fooled!
The comment section of Liangzaidong’s Weibo was quickly flooded with greetings to all of Liu Qiangdong’s relatives and friends.
In fact, the reason why Suning’s super group buying prices are low is entirely due to platform subsidies.
Liu Qiangdong has a lot of troubles but he can't say it. He worked his way up from the offline and bottom level and he knows very well that human hearts are unpredictable, but fortunately it is relatively simple to deal with.
Handsome Dong waved his hand and chose to follow Suning's super group buying event. As long as the product is of the same brand and model, it will be ten yuan cheaper than Suning.
Netizens’ anger came quickly and went away even faster!
Three minutes ago, the "Pujiedong" and "Daqiangzi" in their mouths immediately turned into "Mr. Liu", "Brother Dong" and "Price Butcher".
Liu Qiangdong has finally realized that users have no loyalty at all and it is difficult to retain them.
For a while, he sat in the office and fell into deep thought, secretly thinking about operational strategies to enhance user stickiness and retention.
The other side.
A piece of business financing news appeared on the front page of Yahoo: Music streaming giant Spotify has completed a US$140 million Series E financing yesterday, with a post-investment valuation of US$2.8 billion! The content detailed the background of Senlian Capital and the legendary business experience of its founder, Chen Yansen.
Twenty years old, a junior in college, and worth tens of billions, these three keywords combined together are popularity and traffic! There are even a group of bloggers on Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook who specialize in calculating Chen Yansen's wealth.
Pinbei is valued at 22 billion US dollars! Orange Technology is valued at 20 billion US dollars! Yunsu Express is valued at 18 billion US dollars! Kuaidi Taxi is valued at 3.5 billion US dollars! Kuaipao is valued at 2 billion US dollars! AutoNavi Map is valued at 1.2 billion US dollars! Most of the companies that can be counted have received financing, but the North American bloggers have not found reliable data to support the valuations of holding subsidiaries such as Orange Mobile Factory, Today Technology and Byte Technology.
But with a simple calculation, Chen Yansen’s net worth actually exceeds 50 billion US dollars, which immediately caused heated discussions in the Beacon Country!
