Chapter 452: The first batch of cooperation list in the 4G era! Investment worth 80 billion US dollars!
Chen Yansen said nothing, pushed open the wooden fence of the garden, walked straight to the couch and sat down, then said slowly:
"This is not about money. If Nvidia is sincere, Orange Technology can help sell Tegra processors. It's just that I don't like being threatened."
threaten?
Is there?
Huang Renxun touched his nose awkwardly and deliberately slowed down his speech to make his tone more sincere: "Mr. Chen, maybe it's because my Chinese is not very good and my wording is wrong, which caused you to misunderstand. In fact, NVIDIA really wants to establish cooperation with Senlian Capital."
In fact, after attending Xiaomi's new product launch conference, he reported the cooperation matters to the board of directors as soon as he returned to the company headquarters, but several major shareholders such as Pioneer and BlackRock disagreed.
Why should the meat that is already in our mouths be given to a Chinese technology company?
Not even 1%!
However, with the hot sales of Qingcheng D2, Redmi 1, 360 F1 and Qingcheng D2 SE, the total shipments of these models exceeded 30 million units in just three months.
In other words, MediaTek sold 30 million processors. After all, these models are all equipped with MediaTek chips.
Huang Renxun and the consortium behind Nvidia were naturally furious when they saw this, so they had to agree to cooperate, but they added an extra condition: requiring Orange Technology to purchase a batch of Tegra processors.
"Misunderstanding? So, Mr. Huang means that whether Orange Technology buys Tegra processors or not, NVIDIA is willing to accept the strategic investment from Sunlink Capital?" Chen Yansen asked in return.
Huang Renxun smiled awkwardly and advised gently, "Mr. Chen, to be honest, Nvidia's Tegra 3, which was released two years ago, still has some inventory that has not been sold out.
As for the price, I can offer 8 US dollars per piece. With the sales speed of Orange Mobile Phone, the purchase order of 200 million US dollars is only for 25 million units. "
"MediaTek MT6589T has an integrated 3G baseband, and the purchase price is only 8 US dollars. Tegra 3 still needs an external baseband, which consumes more power, takes up a lot of space, has unstable signals, and has a high overall cost. Sorry, Mr. Huang, I can't afford it."
Chen Yansen criticized Tegra 3 for all its shortcomings.
Huang Renxun was silent for a while and wanted to hang up the phone, but he couldn't bear to do so.
Today, Orange Technology's influence in China's mobile phone market even exceeds that of Huawei and ZTE, and it has a bunch of younger brothers following it, including 360, Xiaomi, NetEase, LeTV and Meitu.
The other party's voice and influence in the industry are enough to revitalize Nvidia's mobile phone chip business.
After weighing the pros and cons, Huang Renxun gritted his teeth and said, "The price remains unchanged, still 8 US dollars per piece, with an additional Infineon or Qualcomm baseband."
There was no other way. The Tegra 2, which was launched three years ago, was finally sold off at the price of 4 US dollars per piece and bundled with graphics cards. The inventory was then sold to LG, Motorola, Sanstar and Hisense.
However, in the past two years, the upgrade and iteration speed of mobile phone chips has been too fast. Even though the purchase price of Tegra 3 has been reduced by 40%, no one is interested in it.
Last year, HTC, Tianyu and Coolpad were still willing to place orders, but this year, they all switched to the MediaTek and Qualcomm camps.
In order to clear out the inventory, he even traveled thousands of miles from the Lighthouse Country to Yanjing to "help" Lei Yijun on stage.
Some netizens who didn’t know him thought he was the emcee invited by Lei Yijun to warm up the audience.
"The package price is 7 US dollars per piece. I can help you deal with Xiaomi, 360, Meitu and LeTV, and digest at least 10 million Tegra processors."
As soon as Huang Renxun took a step back, Chen Yansen took another step forward, completely cornering him.
"10 million is too few. It should be at least 20 million." Huang Renxun said gritted teeth, covering his aching chest.
"20 million? That's a bit much." Chen Yansen chuckled, which made Old Huang's heart skip a beat.
Fortunately, Mr. Chen is a kind man. He paused and said, "Okay, 20 million is 20 million."
The baseless version of Tegra 3 at 8 US dollars is like dog piss, while the base version of Tegra 3 at 7 US dollars is like fairy wine.
Tegra 3 has obvious shortcomings, but its advantages are also significant.
As the world's first quad-core A9 processor, the four main cores have a maximum frequency of up to 1.4GHz, providing powerful computing power and capable of quickly processing complex tasks.
Whether it's multitasking or running large applications, it can run relatively smoothly.
It is also equipped with a 12-core GeForce GPU, which has three times the graphics performance of the Tegra 2 processor and supports high-definition video processing.
What else do you want for a bicycle for 7 dollars?
It seems a bit backward when put into a 1,999 yuan model, but it is very cost-effective when put into a 799 yuan model.
Even if Orange Technology does not use it, it can sell it to other companies such as Xiaomi, 360, NetEase, Meitu or LeTV.
Especially Wu Hongxin, he definitely has a special liking for Tegra 3, which has similar performance and is cheaper.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Huang Renxun, the future billionaire, was grateful and kept thanking him with tears in his eyes.
"Then please trouble Mr. Huang to make another trip so that we can sign the letter of intent for investment first." Chen Yansen urged.
"Okay, Mr. Chen." Huang Renxun replied immediately, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
From Tegra 2 to Tegra 3, the two clearance actions undoubtedly declared that Nvidia's strategy in the field of mobile phone chips has completely failed.
He originally wanted to sell Tegra 3 to Lei Yijun, but Xiaomi's cost considerations were exactly the same as Chen Yansen's.
Moreover, the shipment volume of Xiaomi phones cannot be compared with that of Orange phones. Instead of cutting meat with a blunt knife, it is better to clear the inventory and recover funds as soon as possible.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Renxun shamelessly promoted Tegra 4 to Chen Yansen.
Chen Yansen thought of the high-end Meitu phone that Wu Hongxin had mentioned. After a brief thought, he only promised Huang Renxun that he would help with the connection, but he did not guarantee whether it could be sold successfully.
Despite this, Huang Renxun kept expressing his gratitude.
Compared with the CEO of a technology company with a market value of trillions of US dollars more than a decade later, Huang Renxun that year was like a street side thug who didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of Lei Yijun.
When facing Lei Yijun's 'big brother', he showed great enthusiasm and respect.
After a while, Chen Yansen hung up the phone.
In his opinion, Huang Renxun's flattery mixed with English was half-baked and disgusting to hear.
Chen Yansen pushed the door open and entered the house, returning to the garden with a bucket of fish food. He sat on the couch and started throwing fish food into the pool.
Several koi fish that were as fat as pigs immediately realized: their master is back!
After all, Song Yuncheng, Meng Jie, Ye Qiuping, and the community property staff would not be as generous as Chen Yansen.
Chen Yansen was in a good mood. Although he didn't get the apple, he still got an unexpected surprise.
Nvidia's 2% stake will be worth up to 80 billion U.S. dollars in the future. In addition, after becoming a shareholder of Nvidia, it will be possible to exchange patented technologies with it in the future, thereby accelerating the accumulation of graphics processor technology.
To be honest, although the performance of Tegra 3 and Tegra 4 is poor, they still have excellent performance in graphics processing.
The reason why he is not loved by his parents is that he was born at the wrong time. Qualcomm is blocking his way to the top, and MediaTek is blocking his way to the bottom.
Nvidia was trapped on the edge of a cliff by its two competitors, caught in a dilemma. After struggling desperately for two or three years, it gradually scaled back its business expansion strategy amid strong opposition from investors.
The other side.
Cook sent the core parameters and samples of the Deep Blue battery back to Apple headquarters. Next, a comprehensive test and verification will be carried out, and the final performance data will be used as a reference to determine whether to accept Chen Yansen’s offer.
The next morning.
As soon as Chen Yansen entered the company, he ran into Ye Qiuping.
In the company, Ye Qiuping always wears delicate makeup and a dark professional suit, giving people an impression of being smart and capable.
But as soon as she saw Chen Yansen, she gossiped in a low voice: "Boss, last night Qian from Qianli Group invited Cook to go to Galaxy Star, but was rejected."
Galaxy Star?
That is a paradise for adult men.
There’s none of Cook’s dishes, so it would be strange if he could go.
"He has the same hobby as you." Chen Yansen said seriously.
"???" Ye Qiuping was a smart person, she understood it immediately, and asked in shock, "No way?"
Chen Yansen smiled and was too lazy to explain.
Anyway, Cook has had as many boyfriends as Mr. Chen has had girlfriends.
"You're surprised by something you haven't seen before." After saying this, Chen Yansen went straight upstairs.
He has seen everything in Shanghai's e-commerce circle. He can talk about more outrageous things than this all day long, and never repeat himself.
Reality is often more absurd and illogical than we imagine.
Back in the office, I turned on my computer and checked the business and financial statements of each project as usual, then processed emails and reviewed contracts.
He only took half an hour to complete a workload that would take an ordinary person two or three days.
Because he reads information quickly and makes decisions even faster.
Just after finishing the work at hand, Zhao Maolin from China Telecom called and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Chen, the total sales volume of Star Cards has exceeded 40 million."
"Old Zhao, I should be the one congratulating you. With the Star Card project bonus, you are not allowed to take any further steps within three years."
Chen Yansen replied with a smile.
"Thanks to you, I'll make an appointment later. I have to thank you very much." Zhao Maolin said sincerely.
To put it bluntly, the two were just drinking buddies at first, and their friendship was maintained by drinking. But as the cooperation deepened, Zhao Maolin wanted to shamelessly call him "big brother" from the bottom of his heart!
The speed at which he was promoted and his salary increased was like riding a train, moving forward steadily; while Chen Yansen's development speed was like riding a rocket, soaring all the way, and he had already left him far behind.
Many of the senior executives of Luzhou Telecom felt that Zhao Maolin was simply lucky, as he had Kang Yiping's thigh with his left hand and Chen Yansen's right hand to achieve the current situation.
"Let's get down to business." Chen Yansen took the initiative to speak out.
"How do you know I have good news?" Zhao Maolin asked with a little surprise.
"No one knows a son better than his father." Chen Yansen joked.
Zhao Maolin didn't get angry after hearing this. He laughed and scolded, "You used to call me Manager Zhao, then Brother Zhao, and now it's changed again? Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, let's get down to business."
He took a breath and announced solemnly: "China Telecom has obtained the 4G license, and President Kang has included Orange Technology in the first batch of cooperation list."
"Please tell Mr. Kang for me. Thanks!" Chen Yansen replied immediately.
Taking this opportunity, Tiangong Technology will be able to deeply participate in the debugging of its self-developed baseband chip, and thus improve the design of the product itself.
The mobile phone is the user terminal, responsible for initiating and receiving communication requests.
The baseband chip is the "communication translator" of the mobile phone, responsible for processing the encoding, decoding and protocol interaction of communication signals.
Operator base stations are network nodes responsible for receiving and transmitting mobile phone signals.
You can’t produce good products by working in isolation. Huawei’s development of the Balong baseband is also inseparable from the cooperation and support of operators.
Kang Yiping asked Zhao Maolin to convey a message, and the meaning was very simple: he planned to deepen the cooperative relationship with Orange Technology and leverage the market appeal of Orange mobile phones to compete for more 4G network market share for Telecom.
In other words, Orange Mobile's next new product launch conference will have to transition from the 3G era to the 4G era!
