Chapter 600: Hundreds of billions in losses? Sell the first generation, use the second, and hide the third! The direction of DRAM chips!
The next morning, as soon as the Orange Supermarket in Shanghai opened, it welcomed the first wave of customers, mainly uncles and aunts from the neighborhood.
"The greens at Orange Supermarket are incredibly juicy. My daughter rarely eats greens, but yesterday she ate a small plateful for the first time."
“The beef is of good quality. Stewed with potatoes, it’s very fragrant and tender.”
"Their garbage bags are the best. They are durable and inexpensive. I heard they are made by Yunsu Express and are the same model as their courier bags."
Several familiar aunts gathered together, talking and sharing their own ideas about "orange good things".
Xu Xinlei sat in front of the cashier with a bright smile on her face.
She has worked in the supermarket industry for more than ten years, and this is the first time she has encountered a company and a boss who actually arranged high chairs at the checkout counter.
When there are no guests, you can sit back with your back against the chair and feel comfortable all over.
It’s not like before, when we had to stand for more than ten hours at a time. At the end of the day, our feet would be swollen and our waist would be stiff.
"Brother Sen is the real entrepreneur. What's the difference between those bosses before him and the slave owners of the past?"
Xu Xinlei secretly complained.
Her base salary is 3,600 yuan, and she works a six-hour day. Although her actual working hours are eight to ten hours a day, the company will pay overtime pay of 1.5 times the hourly wage for the extra two to four hours, calculated to the minute.
She couldn't help laughing when she thought of this.
The only thing that made her unhappy was that her supervisor said there was too much overtime on weekdays and the boss asked to reduce it to less than two hours.
She is not afraid of working overtime, but is afraid of not getting overtime pay and not making any money.
About twenty minutes later, several aunts came slowly over pushing shopping carts.
Only then did Xu Xinlei move her butt and use the scanner gun to check out the customer.
"Little sister, you still have chairs to sit on. This job is comfortable."
An auntie couldn't help but sigh after seeing the chair behind Xu Xinlei.
"The boss is quite considerate of us. The total is 93.7 yuan. Can we pay by card, cash, or scan the QR code?"
Xu Xinlei asked with a smile.
"Of course, scan the code! There are random discounts."
The aunt opened the payment code and said with a smile.
The page displayed on the screen was Orange Pay.
You should know that Orange Payment’s branch has been operating in Shanghai for almost two years, and its offline payment scenario occupancy rate is as high as 70%.
Other cities may be slower to accept new things, but in Shanghai, many women in their fifties and sixties have already mastered the use of WeChat, Douyin and electronic payments, and are even able to do group buying and call online taxis.
After dealing with this wave of customers, Xu Xinlei breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her chair.
People who have never stood for a long time cannot understand why standing can make one tired.
But once you try it, you will find that your feet will feel sore even if you stand for just a few hours, let alone a whole day.
At the same time, employees in various positions in the supermarket were busy. Some were wiping the workbenches, some were loading, sorting and replenishing goods, and the staff in the baking area were making cakes and bread.
The Orange Supermarket was still very busy on the second day. Although it could not be compared with the previous day, the average customer spending had obviously increased a lot.
at the same time.
Located in a Kuaipao station on Bibo Road.
Liang Yue took her daughter's hand and told the legal staff of Kuapao the whole process of how her parents-in-law pocketed the death compensation.
"You should have told the company. In your case, you can at least get back half of the death compensation. Don't worry, the chances of winning are very high. I'll go back to the company first, retrieve your parents-in-law's identity information, and then go to Hui'an to file a lawsuit."
Sheng Benkun closed his notebook and stood up, looking confident.
He is a graduate of East China University of Political Science and Law. He originally interned at a law firm. Because the internship salary was too low and could not even cover the cost of rent, after seeing the recruitment information of Kuapao, he immediately ran away without looking back.
When he joined Kuapao, he was stunned for a moment. There were more than 300 people in the department.
This is not the legal department of an Internet company at all, it is clearly a medium-sized law firm!
The daily work content mainly focuses on traffic and medical litigation cases, and the service objects range from bosses and management to delivery boys on the streets.
For example, last winter, a scooter driver was hit by a car, but the driver refused to pay compensation. In the end, the legal department stepped in to resolve the issue.
After Liang Yue's story was reported on the local news channel in Shanghai, it attracted the attention of the company.
"Thank you, Lawyer Sheng." Liang Yue leaned forward and bowed to express her gratitude.
"Just call me Sheng Benkun. We are colleagues. You're welcome."
Sheng Benkun waved his hand and said.
Although he didn't understand Chen Yansen's operations and didn't understand the boss's real thoughts, since the company gave him generous treatment and benefits, he had to work hard.
…
…
"Currently, the monthly production capacity of Tiangong A100 is 8 million pieces, Tiangong B100 is 6.4 million pieces, Tiangong C100 is 12 million pieces, and Tiangong T100 is 3 million pieces..."
In a conference room on the top floor of the main building of Senlian Science and Technology Park, Mike Keller was reporting on his work. On his left were Wu Shengyu and Yu Xianyang.
One of them focuses on the CPU module, and the other is responsible for the GPU module.
Chen Yansen leaned back in the main seat, his eyes fixed on the screen beside him.
In addition to Orange phones, the Tiangong series of mobile processors will also be installed in new models of Xiaomi, 360, Meitu, LeTV, NetEase, Meizu and OPPO.
As for the chips he purchased from Nvidia and MediaTek, they are basically used in the African market and are about to enter the South American market.
The main buyers of Tiangong T100 are Amazon and Xiaomi.
Half a month ago, Huawei also purchased 500,000 units, apparently intending to enter the smart speaker field.
After all, after Huawei purchased the speech analysis development tools, it spent almost two years polishing the Xiaoyi voice assistant. It is understandable that it now wants to promote the development of the hardware side.
"Huawei will likely place additional orders later, and Amazon's smart home orders must also keep up. We must not let the supply chain fall behind, and we must first increase the production capacity of T100 to 4 million units."
Chen Yansen spoke up and gave a warning.
"Okay, boss." Mike Keller nodded in response.
"The prices of memory chips from Toshiba, Hynix, and Sansa have increased by another five percentage points, so I'm planning to set up a semiconductor memory division to develop our own DRAM chips. Do you have any suitable engineers to recommend?"
Chen Yansen continued to ask.
The reason why Xiaorizi and Gaoli dare to raise prices is simply because they rely on their monopoly position in the DRAM chip field.
But it doesn't matter. When the contract expires, he will raise the supply price of Deep Blue batteries by another 10 percentage points, only targeting Sanxing, Toshiba and Hynix.
"Boss, Daniel Skinner, Micron's director of mobile DRAM architecture, is very capable. By introducing the Bank Group architecture, he has greatly improved concurrent performance."
Mike Keller answered first.
Wu Shengyu and Yu Xianyang looked at each other, bewildered. They wondered: "Poaching Micron's director of architecture? Is that even feasible? Would he be willing to come?"
They also know some technical experts in memory chips, but most of them work for Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron or Intel.
"Do you know him?" Chen Yansen asked back without comment.
"He and I both graduated from MIT with a degree in microelectronics. Daniel is three years older than me. He is an absolute genius when it comes to memory technology and is proficient in the core design of DRAM, especially the DDR4 version."
It is not difficult to tell from Mike Keller's tone that he highly respects Daniel's technical level.
"Send me his contact information and I'll communicate with him personally."
Chen Yansen thought for a moment and said.
Mike Keller responded and sent the other party's personal contact information to Chen Yansen through Yunzhou.
"The meeting is adjourned."
Chen Yansen threw down a sentence, pushed the door open and walked out.
Guo Shenyi followed closely behind.
"Boss, there's a short business meeting for Pinbei at 2 p.m., and the weekly business meetings for Orange Communications, Orange Technology, and Orange Payment are scheduled for 3, 4, and 5 p.m."
Guo Shen said as he walked.
During the time he worked as an assistant to Chen Yansen, he gained a lot of knowledge and gained a preliminary understanding of the business of the subsidiaries of Senlian Capital.
"Call Lao Gao and ask him to come to my office."
Chen Yansen gave the order casually.
"Okay." Guo Shen responded.
The distance between the conference room and Chen Yansen's office is only more than 60 meters, and it can be reached in a short walk.
Guo Shenyi placed the meeting minutes he had compiled on his boss's desk and then left on his own accord.
Chen Yansen sat down, put his feet on the table, leaned back in his boss chair, took out his cell phone, replied to a few messages, then opened Mimo, switched to the Annan region, and started browsing casually.
North American headlights are large and bright, but not refined enough. Although Southeast Asian headlights are a bit smaller, they are better in shape.
After sweeping North America and Europe, Mimo has successively entered Australia, South America and Southeast Asia. Its cumulative registered users have exceeded 700 million, and its daily active users are close to 200 million.
Especially in Siam, Luzon and Annan, Mimo quickly became the most popular social platform for young people once it was launched.
Under his instructions, Mao Chaorong has added a friend list and chat function.
In overseas markets, Mimo's influence is no less than that of Facebook.
In other words, once Mimo goes public, its value will be at least 100 billion US dollars.
Therefore, since Pinbei went public, financial giants on Wall Street have been calling Chen Yansen every now and then. What they meant was that they wanted to invest money in order to get a share of the profits.
Chen Yansen didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either, and kept these people hanging.
At this moment, a call reminder suddenly popped up on the mobile phone interface.
Yu Chendong!
After a moment's thought, Chen Yansen guessed the other party's purpose and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Chen, a disassembly company overseas removed the battery of the Orange X2 Plus and conducted energy density and cycle life tests. They found that the deep blue battery used in the Orange X2 Plus has a 40% higher energy storage capacity than the Orange X2."
Yu Dazui cleared his throat and spoke tentatively, choosing his words carefully.
Could this dismantling company be Huawei?
Chen Yansen chuckled and complained to himself.
However, he didn't care.
Since the Yaocheng X2 Plus has certain technological breakthroughs in high-refresh screen, triple-camera module and battery, isn't it normal for it to be disassembled and studied?
Just like the iPhone 4s back then, it was imitated and imitated on a one-to-one basis by countless copycat phone factories in Huaqiangbei.
"40%? Which teardown review company? That doesn't sound very professional."
Chen Yansen flatly denied it.
The energy density of the second-generation deep blue battery is 800 watt-hours per kilogram. Only a small portion has been produced and used in the Yaocheng X2 Plus.
Yu Chendong opened his mouth and thought: I am a technical person after all, Mr. Chen, there is no need to treat me like a fool, right?
Can't Huawei measure the energy density of a lithium battery?
The purpose of his call was simple. Huawei also wanted to use the latest deep blue battery technology, but Chen Yansen refused to admit it. It was obvious that he did not want to sell the products to Huawei.
"Mr. Chen, can Huawei replace a batch of Deep Blue batteries? We plan to launch the Ascend P7 at the Paris Mobile Expo early next month. The Kirin 910T is Huawei's trump card, and I'd like to bring out another one to earn some respect for our Chinese mobile phone brand."
Yu Chendong pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, and said meaningfully.
"Let's talk about it after October." Chen Yansen naturally understood the implication of Yu Dazui.
"The price is negotiable." Yu Chendong added chips.
"It's not about money." Chen Yansen refused decisively.
Giving the first generation of products to the buyers and using the second generation of products himself is not very kind, but Chen Yansen’s attitude has always been: I am not a kind person, use it if you want, if not, get out!
If you can, don’t use Deep Blue batteries and continue to use the previous lithium battery products.
Yu Chendong was helpless. After a few pleasantries, he hung up the phone.
Chen Yansen threw his phone aside, opened Lingxi search, entered keywords, and soon found the disassembly video that Yu Chendong mentioned.
"No wonder my Yaocheng X2 Plus has such a long battery life. Last night, I fell asleep and it automatically played a TV series all night. When I woke up the next day, the battery was still half full."
"My Yaocheng X2 Plus is like this too. I don't even bring a power bank when I go out."
"The deep blue battery in the Yaocheng X2 Plus is definitely a new product. A YouTube blogger reviewed it and found that its energy density is 30% higher."
"Do I even need to test this? I can see with the naked eye that the battery capacity of the Yaocheng X2 Plus is 7400 mAh, while that of the Yaocheng X2 is 6100 mAh. The result is that the battery of the Yaocheng X2 Plus is obviously much smaller."
"Before, I used an iPhone 5s, which required only two or one charge a day. Now I have switched to the X2 Plus, and I can go three days without charging."
Chen Yansen glanced at the comment section and smiled with satisfaction.
Isn't this exactly what he wants to see?
The Yaocheng series started late, so we must add some product advantages to it.
Next, Ge Yue, president of Apple's Dahua region, Park Jae-soon, president of Sanxing's Dahua region, He Dingyou, head of ZTE Mobile, and others called one after another.
The meaning is very clear, they want to purchase the second-generation product with better performance.
In response to this, Chen Yansen gave a unified reply that there is no second-generation product and that the online disassembly reviews are all false information.
In the end, a group of friendly competitors could only hang up the phone cursing.
The other side.
Far away in the DeepBlue Technology R&D Laboratory in Shenzhen, Huang Renhua wore a pair of thick black-framed glasses, his left hand resting on the temple of his glasses, his eyes fixed on the electrolyte formula on the screen.
With his permissions, he can only view a small part of the technical documentation.
But the buyer said that regardless of whether it has value or not, he is willing to pay 5 million US dollars for it.
What does 5 million US dollars mean in 2014?
Enough to live a rich life in any country in the world.
"Boss Chen, I'm sorry, I just want to make more money."
Huang Renhua silently defended himself in his heart.
But he chose to ignore one point: if the electrolyte formula of the Deep Blue battery is leaked, it will cause hundreds of billions of US dollars in losses to China.
