Chapter 478: 10 million option rewards! Total sales volume 70.84 million, revenue 102.74 billion!
September 2, Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.
In a conference room in the Tiangong Technology headquarters building, Mike Keller, Zhou Shouzhi, Wang Teng, Wu Shengyu and others sat on the left and right sides of Chen Yansen respectively.
The Tiangong A100 processor module uses the Tianhe 64-bit heterogeneous multi-core architecture, which we named Tianhe-100. The core configuration is four 2.7GHz Tianhe-100 super cores and four 1.8GHz Tianhe-100 performance cores.
Compared with Snapdragon 800, single-thread performance is improved by 60%, and the accuracy of the branch predictor is 40% higher than that of Cortex-A15..."
Mike Keller introduced slowly.
Various technical terms kept coming out of his mouth.
The CPU module is called Tianhe-100, the GPU module is called Xuanshu, the memory subsystem is called Qianlong, the AI acceleration module is called Liuhuo, and the communication baseband is called Hongyan.
It is obvious that Wu Shengyu put a lot of effort into naming.
About 60% of Tiangong A100's technology is self-developed, 20% is obtained through cross-patent licensing with companies such as Huawei, ZTE, and Nvidia, 10% is purchased, and the remaining 10% is on the verge of infringement.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Chen Yansen nodded slightly and instructed Zhang Cong and Zhou Ze, "The new product launch has been delayed from autumn to winter. The only ones missing are the Tiangong A100 and Yaocheng X2. Complete the collaborative development work as soon as possible. The iPhone 5s is about to be released. Orange can't just desert, right?"
"Boss, actually based on domestic shipments, the total sales of the Orange and Yaocheng series may have exceeded the total of iPhone 4s and iPhone 5," Zhou Shouzhi said with a smile.
"But the sales volume is far behind, and the gross profit is also lower than Apple. Lao Zhou, in my opinion, Orange Technology is only truly established from now on. Do you understand?"
Chen Yansen looked at Zhou Shouzhi and gave instructions with a serious expression.
In the past, Orange Technology was essentially just a mobile phone assembly company.
"Boss, I understand." Zhou Shouzhi responded with a smile.
The boss has ambitious goals, so the value of his options and his status in the industry will naturally rise.
As the CEO of Orange Technology, no one knows the company's listing rhythm and plan better than him.
When the Yaocheng series has technologies such as the Tiangong A100 chip, Deep Blue battery, Aurora Future OS, fast charging technology, and Moss voice assistant, isn’t it enough to compete with Sanxing and Apple?
Chen Yansen mentioned at the last meeting that the company plans to launch its listing plan in the first quarter of 2014.
Once Orange Technology's market share exceeds that of Apple or even Sanxing, its market value may exceed one trillion US dollars.
And his wealth will skyrocket, and he will receive wages for more than ten years or even decades at a time.
And thus become rich overnight!
Thinking of this, Zhou Shouzhi became full of energy.
"By the way, change the labor contracts of all R&D engineers in the artificial intelligence laboratory to Tiangong Technology."
Chen Yansen ordered in a calm tone.
"Okay, boss. I'll take care of it."
Zhou Shouzhi responded quickly.
Not long after the artificial intelligence laboratory was established, it was separated from Orange Technology by Chen Yansen. In name, they were located in the same office building and used the same administrative, personnel, legal and financial systems, but they belonged to two different companies.
This merger with Tiangong Technology is quite reasonable.
After all, it is always hard to say whether to fleece Orange Technology: DST Capital still holds a 15% stake.
Such a large company was split into several parts by Chen Yansen.
Today, the most valuable departments in Orange Technology are Orange Mall, Orange Smart Life Center (i.e. offline sales network), operating system department, and industrial and hardware R&D department.
The Orange mobile phone factory, artificial intelligence laboratory and Tiangong Technology are all wholly-owned enterprises of Chen Yansen.
Chen Yansen hummed, then stood up, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally said solemnly:
"The result is more important than the process. A good product doesn't necessarily guarantee good results. Before the first month's sales figures for the Yaocheng X2 are released, I hope everyone will stay highly focused and fight this most crucial battle for Orange Technology."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of executives from Orange Technology and Tiangong Technology responded in unison.
Chen Yansen smiled faintly and turned to leave the meeting room.
Meng Yun picked up the documents and hurried to follow.
Zhou Shouzhi, Wang Teng and others followed closely behind.
"Boss, Orange Technology's weekly meeting is scheduled for 2:30 pm in Conference Room A8 in Building 9."
As Meng Yun walked, he synchronized Chen Yansen's next itinerary.
"Help me make an appointment with Yu Chendong from Huawei and He Boting from HiSilicon."
Chen Yansen said casually.
In terms of product performance, Tiangong A100 surpasses Snapdragon 800 in graphics processing, digital signals, wireless connections, video processing and power consumption management, and of course it can easily beat HiSilicon's K3V3.
But how can Tiangong Technology compete with Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Nvidia?
The answer is simple, it is to grab customers!
If he can deal with Huawei, he will contact ZTE next.
Tiangong A100 is just the beginning. Mike Keller and Wu Shengyu will continue to add A series chip products to cover high-end, mid-end and low-end fields.
Therefore, Tiangong A100 is aimed at the high-end market.
In the next two years, the processors equipped in Orange phones will be a combination of self-research and procurement. High-end models will use Tiangong A100, mid-range models will use Qualcomm Snapdragon, and low-end models will be a no-brainer to choose MediaTek's A7 processor.
In addition, the Tegra series that Nvidia is clearing out is also a good choice for Qingcheng.
It can be seen from the hot sales of Meitu 1s and 360 F1 Mini that users of the former only care about the photo effect and do not care about the processor performance; users of the latter only care about the price, and no one cares about the quality of the processor.
What's more, the performance of Tegra 3 is not bad. Although it has a lot of shortcomings, it is the flagship chip launched by Nvidia two years ago.
Built into a thousand-yuan phone, users definitely get a good deal.
Hearing this, Meng Yun nodded repeatedly and took note of it immediately.
When Chen Yansen returned to the office, the administration department had just placed his lunch on the table, which consisted of three dishes and a soup, with hot white steam rising from it.
Not long after, Yu Chendong received the news: Chen Yansen was interested in selling the Tiangong A100 chip to Huawei.
This guy's research and development speed is so fast?
Yu Dazui narrowed his eyes, a look of horror appearing on his face.
Why?
HiSilicon spent so many years to finally launch the K3V3; and the Kirin 910, which is about to be taped out, is the result of the hard work of countless Huawei employees.
This is their first SoC chip, and it also integrates their own Balong 710 baseband for the first time.
However, it only took about a year for Tiangong A100 to surpass Kirin 910 in progress, which Yu Chendong found difficult to understand.
Could it be a shoddy product?
For example, poor performance, worrying heat, and high probability of failure.
But then he thought again, Chen Yansen’s products have always been of high quality, would the other party damage his reputation?
Definitely not!
After sorting out his thoughts, he knocked on Ren Zhongfei's office door.
At the same time, HiSilicon President He Boting also learned about the research and development progress of Tiangong A100. Just as he was about to find Ren Zhongfei to report, he received a video conference invitation from the group's senior management.
The meeting was short, but the topics were important.
Ren Zhongfei's meaning was very clear. He would first get the sample of Tiangong A100, and if the performance was fine, he would purchase a batch.
The processors used by Huawei and Honor phones include not only the self-developed HiSilicon, but also products from Qualcomm and MediaTek. One more Tiangong A100 doesn't make much, and one less Tiangong A100 doesn't make much either.
Ren Zhongfei also wanted to see how powerful the domestically developed chip, which Chen Yansen claimed had 50% higher overall performance than the Snapdragon 800, was.
The other side.
After lunch, Chen Yansen took a short rest. At 2:25, he rushed to the A8 conference room at Meng Yun's reminder.
At the beginning of the year, he set a goal for Zhou Shouzhi that if the global annual sales volume exceeded 100 million units, he would issue another 10 million shares of options to all employees of Orange Technology, and everyone from top to bottom would have a share.
Of course, the number will be comprehensively assessed based on this year's performance appraisal results, job level and years of service.
Based on Orange Technology's current business scale, the total value of these options is between 400 and 500 million US dollars.
Orange Technology has a total of only 4,000 employees worldwide, and if divided equally per person, each person earns more than 100,000 US dollars.
This is also the main reason why Orange Technology has been able to expand into the European market at an extremely fast pace and its offline sales network has grown rapidly.
Three minutes later, Chen Yansen pushed open the frosted glass door of the conference room.
Zhou Shouzhi, Wang Teng, Yan Peng, Ye Qiuping, Ding Houmeng and others had already taken their seats.
"boss!"
Chen Yansen nodded and sat down.
The LED projection screen directly in front is currently displaying Orange Technology's core business indicators from January to September, including mobile phone business, smart devices, computers, mobile phone accessories and Star Card business.
"Let's get started."
Chen Yansen took a look at the data and then spoke.
"Boss, Mr. Zhou, let's first look at the mobile phone business. From Q1 to Q3, the cumulative global sales volume was 70.84 million units, of which 61.64 million were in the domestic market.
Overseas sales reached 9.2 million units, with Africa contributing 64.1%, Eastern Europe 27.5%, Western Europe 7.2%, and Korea and India 1.2%.
As usual, Yan Peng is still responsible for reporting core data.
"The best-selling models in overseas markets, ranked by sales volume, are the Orange D2, Orange C3, and Orange C3S. The total sales of the Yaocheng X1 are only 73,000 units, mainly concentrated in the European market."
Yan Peng said slowly.
Chen Yansen looked at the data report on the screen. There were specific sales figures behind each model.
The improved version of the Orange D2 has an additional mobile phone card slot, increased battery capacity and the number of backup batteries, and enhanced speaker volume and photo-taking algorithms. With a price of US$139 per unit, it has become a hot seller in the African and Eastern European markets.
"Low-end models account for 71% of the domestic market, while mid-to-high-end models account for 29%. The sales volume of Qingcheng D2 was 29.37 million units, and the sales volume of Qingcheng D2 SE was 13.02 million units.
The Yaocheng series sold 4.597 million units, the Orange C3S sold 13.283 million units, and the Orange C3, Orange C2 and other older models sold a combined 1.37 million units.
After synchronizing the sales results, Yan Peng slid his finger across the touchpad and hovered the mouse over the revenue column.
The total revenue of the mobile phone business in the first three quarters of 2013 was 102.74 billion yuan.
