Chapter 586 Is this guy a traitor to the Lighthouse Nation? Huang Zhang: Big Brother! Big Brother! Big Brother!
Jinxiu Lake, Luzhou International Conference Center.
On the first day of late March, the sudden change from warm to cold in spring completely disappeared, and the gentle breeze blew the early cherry blossoms all over the sky, like a light pink cloud.
A huge poster hung on the front of the conference center building. It only had two precise square chips on it. In the upper left corner were the words "Tiangong Technology", and in the lower middle were the product names "Tiangong B100" and "Tiangong C100".
There is no doubt that these two processors are the highlights of this conference.
Due to the outstanding market performance of Tiangong A100, many media came to the scene specifically to learn more about Tiangong Technology's new product.
Just after noon, the entrance to the conference hall was surrounded by reporters from home and abroad.
Some people were carrying cameras and walking around, while others were holding cameras and pointing them towards the entrance. It was a scene of busy preparation for an interview.
"The development of domestic chips is really fast. I remember that before the Tiangong A100 was launched, most smartphones used Qualcomm or MediaTek processors, except for the HiSilicon K3V2."
The reporter from C114 Communication Network stood in the corner, biting a Huangshan cigarette in his mouth, and spoke to the reporter from Sina.
"Having said that, the market share of domestically produced chips is not high. The Kirin 910 is only used in the Huawei P6 S, and the Tiangong A100 is only used in the Yaocheng X1."
The Sina reporter shook his head.
"Why are you in such a hurry? This is chip manufacturing, not boiling tea eggs. Let's not even talk about the design process. Just making the mask and tape-out takes months. I heard HiSilicon is also going to release a new processor next month, an upgraded version of the Kirin 910."
A reporter from China Business News came over and spoke slowly.
"The Huawei P6 S has received good market feedback. It runs smoothly, and its power consumption and signal issues have been optimized. It seems HiSilicon is on the rise."
The reporter from C114 Communication Network couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course! Tiangong and Huawei have exchanged a lot of basic patented technologies. Huawei's Kirin 910 CPU, GPU, and baseband module, which one doesn't use Tiangong technology?"
"But Huawei isn't bad either! Tiangong's 'Hongyan' baseband actually uses some of the core technology of the Balong baseband, so it can be said that they complement each other."
The three of them chatted idly.
Ars Technica, PCMag, Financial Times and Wall Street Journal also sent reporters. The first two wanted to introduce and analyze Tiangong Technology's mobile processor, while the latter two came entirely for Chen Yansen.
Starting at one o'clock in the afternoon, participants continued to arrive.
Zhou Hongyi, Lei Yijun and others arrived first. After getting off the car, they first waved to the media friends, and then walked up to chat with Mike Keller and Wu Shengyu.
After that, he even stopped acting and just helped Mike greet guests as a "little brother" and "half-one of us".
Half an hour later, a black Maybach drove towards the conference center, escorted by a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle in front and behind.
The knowledgeable reporter quickly grabbed the camera and aimed the lens at the left rear seat of the car.
After a burst of noise, the overseas media camp immediately moved and trotted over to meet them.
Lei Yijun looked at this scene and thought to himself: In China, perhaps Chen Yansen is the only one who can do business to this extent.
The Maybach stopped steadily beside the red carpet in front of the conference center. Guo Shenyi in the front row got out first and opened the back door. Chen Yansen was wearing a neatly tailored dark gray suit with a calm smile on his face.
"Boss!"
"boss!"
Mike Keller and Wu Shengyu greeted in unison.
"Has Meng Yuanzhi arrived?" Chen Yansen asked casually.
"Boss, not yet. Secretary Tao and I confirmed yesterday that Mr. Meng will definitely come." Mike replied.
"Mr. Chen!"
Zhou Hongyi, Lei Yijun, Ding Lei and others followed suit and shouted.
Chen Yansen turned around upon hearing the voice, his eyes swept over Zhou Hongyi and the others, then he said jokingly with a smile, "You guys came early. I thought I would have to wait a while before I could see you."
Zhou Hongyi laughed heartily, took two steps forward, and flattered him: "Mr. Chen, you have something on your mind! Once the supply of Tiangong B100 and Tiangong C100 stabilizes, 360 will be able to immediately advance the development of new models."
What this means is that 360 Mobile will definitely respond immediately and fully switch to Tiangong Technology's new products.
Lei Yijun frowned and sneered to himself.
Thinking back to the past, Zhou Hongyi treated me like an older brother and was very close to me.
But since 360 went public, the other party's wealth skyrocketed, and he entered the mobile phone industry, the relationship between the two no longer exists.
Businessmen don’t care about personal feelings, they only care about profits.
Wu Hongxin looked at Zhou Hongyi and Lei Yijun, a cold look flashing in his eyes.
He didn't expect that just after selling 1 million units of Meitu 1 Pro, it would face two new competitors.
360 is going to make the 360 V1 beauty phone, and Xiaomi is also going to release the Xiaomi 3 Pro beauty version.
Isn’t this stealing business from Meitu?
After a brief greeting with a few people, Chen Yansen did not enter the conference hall, but stayed at the door to entertain the guests with Mike and Wu Shengyu.
Soon after, Huawei's Yu Chendong, ZTE's He Dingyou, Coolpad's Zhu Fanghao, OPPO's Chen Yongming, and Meizu's Huang Zhang arrived one after another. Regardless of their private relationship with Orange Technology, on the surface, the atmosphere appeared to be harmonious.
After all, Orange and Tiangong Technology are both leaders in the industry, firmly occupying the first place in China's smartphone shipment list. They are also the only mobile phone manufacturers that can compete with giants such as Sanxing and Apple.
In addition, more importantly, with the popularity of Deep Blue batteries in the consumer electronics field, any smartphone that does not use Deep Blue batteries will be disliked by users.
Products of the same price, one can last for 18 hours for playing games and watching videos, while the other can only last for 6 hours. Users know which one to choose by voting with their feet.
The supply rights of Deep Blue batteries are in the hands of Chen Yansen.
In other words, whoever can get a stable supply of batteries can gain a firm foothold in today's mobile phone industry.
This is not a simple cooperation, but more like an admission ticket. Without this ticket, no matter how powerful the performance of the mobile phone is, it will be stuck at the hurdle of battery life and will not be able to compete with competitors for the market.
"Mr. Chen, Meizu's next-generation new model also wants to be equipped with the Aurora OS operating system."
Huang Zhang waited until everyone else left before speaking softly, with an unnatural expression on his face.
"Mr. Huang, Aurora OS is an open and free operating system. Meizu can use it directly without my consent."
Chen Yansen said as he looked at Huang Zhang, who was nearly 40 years old.
Compared with up-and-coming companies like Xiaomi, 360, and NetEase, Meizu, which has been struggling in the mobile phone industry for more than a decade, is more like a joke, with annual sales of less than 3 million units.
Not to mention comparing with Xiaomi, it can't even catch up with Meitu.
After some thought, Huang Zhang realized that it was useless for this person to have any dignity.
Just be Chen Yansen’s younger brother!
What's more, Chen Yansen is really good to his "little brother". He not only provides technology, but is also willing to share the supply chain, production line and overseas sales channels. He only needs to entrust the production and manufacturing links to Orange Technology.
"Mr. Chen, what I mean is that Meizu also wants to share the same system with Orange Mobile for future OEM and parts procurement."
Huang Zhang added again.
Chen Yansen understood that the other party was here to pay his respects to him as his big brother.
"Will the Meizu directors agree?" Chen Yansen pondered for a few seconds, looked at Huang Zhang and asked.
You know, Huang Zhang has stuffed a lot of relatives and friends among Meizu's directors and executives, so it would be strange if there were no problems with the supply chain.
"Mr. Chen, I am the founder and chairman of Meizu."
Huang Zhang replied seriously.
Chen Yansen smiled, understanding what the other party meant, so he patted Huang Zhang on the shoulder and said, "Welcome, Mr. Huang."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your care."
After hearing Chen Yansen's words, Huang Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He knew in his heart that Chen Yansen would not accept just any of them as his subordinates.
Just like Ni Cai, Newman and Blue Demon, they rushed to call him the big brother, but were sent away by Chen Yansen.
To be honest, Huang Zhang was really afraid that Chen Yansen would reject him.
In his opinion, products like 360 can sell nearly 20 million units a year, all thanks to the support of Orange Technology behind the scenes.
Once Meizu clings to Chen Yansen's support, its sales will naturally not be too bad.
You can't just watch the company die, right?
In addition, he didn't want to be suppressed by Lei Yijun all year round and be ridiculed for being inferior to others.
Last year, Meizu and Xiaomi had a lot of verbal battles, and in the end, Meizu was sued by Xiaomi.
Huang Zhang originally wanted to use Meizu's products and sales to speak for himself, but after working hard for more than half a year, he found that the gap between him and Xiaomi was getting bigger and bigger.
If the direction is wrong, all efforts will be in vain.
It is so easy to cling to someone and recognize him as your big brother, why bother yourself with suffering!
Boss Huang immediately had an epiphany and took the opportunity of Tiangong Technology's chip launch conference to extend an olive branch. Now he has got what he wanted and the worry that had been hanging in the air for half a year has finally been put to rest.
He followed Chen Yansen, his previous awkwardness and uneasiness completely gone, and even his back straightened a little.
With Orange Technology and Tiangong Technology as its backers, Meizu will no longer have to rely on others in the supply chain, nor will it have to engage in intrigue with others for battery quotas.
What's wrong with hanging out with Big Brother?
So fragrant!
Ten minutes later, a black Audi slowly drove into the conference center.
After the car stopped, Tao Jingwen pushed the door open and got out, then trotted to open the door for Meng Yuanzhi. Then, she consciously took a step behind and followed her boss.
"Mr. Meng, thank you for your hard work. With you, Tiangong Technology is the backbone."
Chen Yansen walked up to him, shook Meng Yuanzhi's right hand and flattered him.
"Mr. Chen loves to joke. Where is this? Luzhou!
Where is the headquarters of Sunlink Capital? It’s also in Luzhou!
We're family, so we shouldn't have different opinions. I'm not a guest today; we're both family members at this press conference."
Meng Yuanzhi, who could shake the area hundreds of kilometers around him with just a stomp of his feet in Hui'an, now looked like an old friend without any airs.
"Mr. Meng, please come in!"
Chen Yansen raised his hand to signal.
"Is there any problem with production capacity?" Meng Yuanzhi asked with concern as he walked.
He knew that the conflict between Sunlink Capital, Qualcomm and TSMC had intensified recently. TSMC had reduced its supply by 20%, and Chen Yansen had canceled its cooperation with Qualcomm.
"I divided the order among three OEM factories. Although the cost is a bit higher, it won't threaten me. However, after all, you have to rely on yourself."
Chen Yansen said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Xiao Tao has been personally monitoring the construction of Xingyuan Technology's production base. We guarantee that it will be ready for production within a year."
Meng Yuanzhi frowned slightly and replied immediately.
In order to allow Xingyuan Technology to settle in Luzhou, he even paid out of his own pocket and took huge risks to approve 8 billion yuan in factory construction subsidies, 1.2 million square meters of industrial land and 300,000 square meters of residential land.
Once he loses the bet, his future will be difficult.
For this reason, Greentown, Shenzhen, Shanghai and other places have complained to him many times.
To put it bluntly, he cares more about Xingyuan Technology than Chen Yansen.
"I'm not in a hurry. Liang Jinsong's team at the Shanghai branch is still optimizing the 28nm process management process. We'll wait until the yield rate reaches 90% before we make any decisions."
Chen Yansen waved his hand.
You are not in a hurry, but I am!
The construction costs of Xingyuan Technology were all deducted from the investment budget of the Central Department. If no results were achieved, he would most likely suffer losses.
Seeing Chen Yansen's nonchalant expression, Meng Yuanzhi suddenly became anxious.
"Mr. Meng, don't worry. Believe in Liang Jinsong's abilities. Why would TSMC use a non-compete agreement to restrict him from working for Sanxing? It's because he can handle the 28nm process."
Chen Yansen saw Meng Yuanzhi's concerns and comforted him.
"That's better." Meng Yuanzhi sighed slightly. He had already boarded the pirate ship and could only grit his teeth and hold on to the end.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was two o'clock.
The huge conference hall was now full of people.
Major mobile phone manufacturers, including Apple, Samsung, and Nokia, also sent representatives.
Kang Yiping and Zhao Maolin from Luzhou Telecom also came to the platform.
as well as industry analysts, media reporters and fan groups.
Mike Keller tightened his sleeves and started the first chip launch conference of his life in this foreign country.
"Click" sound!
Most of the lights in the venue were turned off, leaving only a spotlight falling on him.
The audience sitting in the audience suddenly felt a strange feeling as they watched Mike striding towards the stage.
The chief scientist of Tiangong Technology is actually a foreigner!
Products such as Tiangong A100, Tiangong B100 and Tiangong C100 are all produced by each other.
Are these three products still considered domestic chips?
"Hello everyone, thank you very much for coming all the way to Luzhou to attend Tiangong Technology's new product launch. I'm sorry, but due to my limited Chinese, I will still introduce the Tiangong B100 and Tiangong C100 to you in English."
Mike spoke his opening remarks in Chinese, enunciating each word.
at the same time.
Overseas audiences were watching Mimo's live broadcast room, looking at Mike Keller on the stage with the same look of surprise.
"The Tiangong B100 inherits the core architecture of the Tiangong A100 and adopts the Tianhe-100 64-bit heterogeneous multi-core architecture. Its quad-core design balances multi-tasking capabilities with chip power consumption. The main frequency can reach 2.5GHz, and the single-core performance far exceeds the ARM Cortex-A15 architecture."
Mike in the middle of the screen talked freely and gave a detailed introduction to Tiangong B100 from many aspects such as performance, power consumption, graphics processing, communication module and image signal processor.
"Is this guy considered a traitor to the Lighthouse Nation?"
In the live broadcast room, a barrage of comments suddenly appeared.
