Chapter 498: A 700 billion yuan project! Yu Chendong and Lei Yijun fall out: If you don’t agree, build your own CPU!
After a week's business trip, Chen Yansen finally returned to Xucheng.
But just as he entered the Delta Villa, before his butt even touched the sofa, Hu Ruihui from the Huake Association called:
"The government plans to establish an integrated circuit industry investment fund. The purpose is simple: to reduce dependence on overseas chips and enhance the competitiveness of the domestic chip industry through targeted funding subsidies.
Next Wednesday, an industry exchange meeting will be held at the Yanjing Conference Center. In addition to Tiangong Technology, Spreadtrum and HiSilicon will also be present.
In addition, companies involved in chip manufacturing, equipment and materials, packaging and testing, and other links will also participate.”
Big Fund?
These three words couldn't help but float through Chen Yansen's mind.
Big Fund is the abbreviation of Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund.
It got this nickname because of its large funding, great influence and great strategic value.
A total of 700 billion yuan was invested in three phases, leveraging the trillion-yuan semiconductor market.
As far as he remembers, the big fund would not be established until September 2014.
But it is not difficult to tell from Hu Ruihui's tone that the first phase of funds seems to have been prepared.
They were invited to a meeting in Yanjing, firstly to promote cooperation, and secondly to listen to policies and prepare to "divide money and resources."
Thinking of this, Chen Yansen's face showed excitement.
How can I refuse free money?
This money should be given to Tiangong Technology!
Although there were benefits such as tax and fee reductions, science and technology bonuses, and local subsidies in the past, they were at most one or five million, like a mosquito leg, and not enough at all.
Now the funds are allocated directly from above, and each time it costs tens or even hundreds of billions.
Chen Yansen is not short of money, but what he lacks is the technology and resources upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
Although Qualcomm has not yet fallen out with him, as Tiangong Chip's market share continues to expand, who can guarantee that the other party will not use its own industry advantages to force the foundry to stop production for him?
However, Huaxin International, which has the most advanced technology in China, cannot meet the production requirements of Tiangong A100.
Low output, high cost and poor yield rate!
We must prepare for a rainy day!
Chen Yansen doesn't want to be strangled by someone one day.
You don’t have to think about how it feels to know it’s unpleasant!
"Thank you, Mr. Hu, for letting me know. I will be there on time."
Chen Yansen said as he lay down on the sofa and agreed readily.
Only by following the general trend can we develop rapidly and steadily.
Hu Ruihui smiled and joked, "If you don't come, this exchange meeting will lose half its meaning."
"Mr. Hu, you are too polite. Tiangong Technology has just entered the industry and cannot bear such a great reputation." Chen Yansen responded modestly.
"However, Tiangong Technology has already surpassed Spreadtrum and HiSilicon in CPU and GPU architecture technology. Even Apple and Sanxing paid for the instruction set patents of Orange Z1.
Frankly speaking, it was the launch of Orange Z1 and Tiangong T100 chips that accelerated the implementation of the integrated circuit industry investment fund, and the launch of Tiangong A100 added the final fuel to the fire.
You deserve credit for this!"
Hu Ruihui praised generously.
There was not a shred of truth in what he said.
Tiangong Technology continues to break through European and American patent barriers, giving the upper echelons great confidence.
Since we can take the lead in the field of chip design, we may be able to further enhance the hard power of the integrated circuit industry by increasing industry investment and mobilizing more funds and technology.
If several key technologies can be mastered, the Chinese semiconductor industry may have enough say, thereby completing the transformation from buyer to seller and truly integrating into the world semiconductor industry system.
As for surpassing, no one dared to think about it.
Only industry insiders know how complex the equipment and technology required for chip manufacturing are.
Even ASML does not dare to boast that it can independently manufacture lithography machines.
Because it cannot do without the light source, special electronic gases and photoresist technology from countries such as Germany, the Lighthouse Country, China and Korea.
The same is true for the Beacon Country, which does not have the ability to master the technology of the entire industrial chain.
Therefore, the idea of the top management at this time is: to reach the world's top level in a certain field, such as front-end process equipment manufacturing, or CMP polishing materials, optical lenses, etc., and become an indispensable part of the industry.
Chen Yansen was already accustomed to all kinds of compliments. Although Hu Ruihui was of extraordinary status and spoke in a very sincere tone, he did not take these words to heart.
The two chatted for a few more minutes and then hung up the phone.
Chen Yansen threw his phone away and leaned on the sofa, thinking.
How should we enter the chip manufacturing field?
After all, the higher the sales of Yaocheng X2, the more Tiangong A100 chips will be shipped, and the greater the threat to Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Nvidia.
Even though Huang Renxun is currently engaging in cross-licensing of patent technologies and investing in shares with him, once Nvidia's core interests are touched, the other party will still make moves behind the scenes.
"Go up there and get some free money to spend first."
A minute later, Chen Yansen, who had sorted out his thoughts, muttered softly.
The next day, Liu Qiangdong announced the strategic plan for Dongfang's home appliance business in the next three years on Weibo, and shouted the slogan of "surpassing the United States and the Soviet Union in all aspects and becoming the number one in the industry."
Huang Zheng originally wanted to reply: As if I don’t exist?
But then he thought again, Liu Qiangdong didn't mention Pinbei by name, and if he took the initiative to jump out, it would seem that he was not broad-minded enough.
But the phrase 'No. 1 in the industry' still made Mr. Huang very unhappy.
He thought about it, called Zhang Yifeng, and told him to allocate some traffic resources to the home appliance category during the upcoming Double Eleven promotion.
By then, he will release a promotional report on the home appliance business, and he wants to let Liu Qiangdong understand a truth: it is better to do well than to speak well!
Zhang Jindong of Suning, however, showed no mercy to Liangzaidong. He publicly declared online, "I have over 1,000 offline stores. What can you use to fight me? Are you relying on fake price discounts?"
"Users who have placed orders on the Yidong platform know that Yidong has fast delivery, good after-sales service, and low prices. Even if the price of a product is set incorrectly, as long as the user places an order, it will be shipped normally."
Liu Qiangdong secretly mocked Zhang Jindong.
This reply awakened users' long-lost memories. Those who spent 10 yuan to buy a refrigerator at Suning last year were immediately enraged and left messages on Suning's official Weibo and Zhang Jindong's social media accounts:
"Mr. Zhang, I don't know if Yidong is a good option, but Suning is definitely not!"
"Ghostwriter! Send me the refrigerator and I'll help you scold Liu Qiangdong."
"Last time there was a bug in Yidong, they shipped all the products. What about you? You're just playing dead, right?"
The netizens’ abuse forced Zhang Jindong to turn off the comment function.
Immediately afterwards, the legal department of Yidong submitted a complaint to Jinling, alleging that Suning had engaged in price fraud and malicious competition.
Even a fool would know that they cannot win if they sue Suning in Jinling.
But Liu Qiangdong didn't care. He just wanted to give Zhang Jindong some advice before the Double Eleven promotion.
The other side.
Ma Liyun quietly expanded Taodiandian's business scope from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Jiangsu and Jiangnan, and planned to enter Shanghai.
Obviously, on the eve of Ali's listing, Ma wanted to take the opportunity to enhance the confidence of North American investment institutions by expanding the boundaries of the business.
Taodiandian's steady progress from regional markets to core cities not only demonstrates Ali's penetration into the local life service sector, but also sends a positive signal of "continuous breakthroughs in business models" to investors.
This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the subsequent listing financing.
Lao Ma knows that although Ali's e-commerce foundation is stable, in order to obtain a higher valuation when it goes public, it must let capital see more possibilities.
To put it simply, you have to have a story and you have to be alive.
The offline consumption scenarios covered by Taodiandian can complement the e-commerce business and build the prototype of an "online and offline linkage" ecosystem.
Of course, the potential problem is that if it causes dissatisfaction with Kuaipao or Senlian Capital, it will also drag Ali into the quagmire of price war.
Therefore, Taodiandian acted very cautiously when expanding into surrounding markets, and its marketing strategy on the user side was also very conservative, only giving new customers an instant discount coupon, for fear of triggering a third war in the takeout and group buying industries.
It’s not that Ahri is afraid of fighting, it’s just that the timing and place are not right.
at the same time.
Yu Chendong posted a post on Weibo, angrily cursing: "Huawei A199's running score is not high. Is it necessary to deliberately change the rules and weights? If you don't agree, develop your own CPU!"
Huawei A199, also known as Ascend G710, is Huawei's latest sub-flagship phone. It uses a HiSilicon K3V2 quad-core processor and has the same configuration as Xiaomi 3. It is priced at 1,999 yuan.
The previous internal test score was 23,000, but now it is only 19,000.
Yu Dazui's implication was that Lei Yijun had no moral principles and, relying on his position as chairman of Kingsoft Software, tried to demonstrate the performance advantages of his own products through high running scores, and secretly downgraded the running scores of competitors' products.
So shameless!
AnTuTu has long been controlled by Kingsoft Software. In Yu Chendong's opinion, it is most likely Xiaomi's doing.
It’s either Lei Yijun or Li Wanqiang!
Yu Chendong's questioning immediately implicated AnTuTu, Kingsoft and Xiaomi.
Li Wanqiang wanted to spit back immediately, but was stopped by Lei Yijun.
Ten minutes later, AnTuTu's official Weibo account replied: "Version 5.0 has modified the rationality of GPU weighting. The reason why Huawei A199's running score has dropped is not related to AnTuTu software, but is due to the performance issues of HiSilicon K3V2 itself."
AnTuTu’s attitude is very clear: if you can’t do it yourself, don’t blame third-party software.
Yu Chendong was so angry that he cursed and announced that Huawei would create a fair and just performance testing software.
"This guy went through so much trouble just to promote his own testing tools? He's even more shameless than Zhou Hongyi."
Lei Yijun laughed angrily.
The two of them had a grudge against each other and their usual business compliments were gone.
Then, Li Wanqiang said sarcastically: "If it is a self-developed chip like HiSilicon K3V2, then Xiaomi can also do it."
It has to be said that after Xiaomi's valuation exceeded 10 billion US dollars, the confidence of the entire company has swelled.
Chen Yansen sat in the cabin of the Gulfstream 550 and watched the quarrel between the two parties on his mobile phone.
It is understandable that Yu Chendong and Lei Yijun fell out.
Everyone is selling mobile phones, how can we all be harmonious?
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at Yanjing Airport.
He wanted to go back to the hotel first, but halfway there, his cell phone rang - it was a call from the Central Office!
