377 What about the impact of supply cuts?

Yes, everyone thinks that TSMC's sudden cut off of the foundry production of brain-computer chips is a fatal blow to Changxiang Technology and Weihua's new products.

What if we could design the world's most advanced chip?

If you can't mass-produce and are unwilling to compromise, you can only become a resound.

Of course, if Changxiang Technology is willing to compromise, Tim Cook is willing to make peace, as long as the technology can be shared, everything is easy to say.

TSMC can immediately restore the supply of brain-computer chips, of course, Apple must give priority to getting chips. China may be able to occupy a part of the market in a short period of time, but as long as Apple launches new products immediately, it is not a big problem.

Of course, as an alliance, including Intel, Google, IBM, etc., other companies can also benefit.

For example, the secondary development of brain-computer chips can be carried out on the current basis, and the product standards of the next generation of brain-computer chips can be jointly formulated with Changxiang Technology in the future.

As long as we can participate in the formulation of interface standards, everyone will be able to get a piece of the pie in the future, and everyone will be happy.

Of course, if Changxiang Technology can't recognize the situation, then everyone can only fight for time.

Although it is almost impossible to crack chips in reverse nowadays, now that there are finished products, it is possible for countless engineers to find ways to implement the functions with the help of the most advanced instruments.

And then find a way to develop similar products, which can still pull everyone back to the same running line.

The most troublesome situation is probably the uncontrollable factor of Samsung Group.

But it's not a big problem.

Based on everyone's understanding of Samsung, in the face of the current situation, even if Samsung is willing to produce brain-computer chips for Changxiang Technology under the pressure of the alliance, it will inevitably open its mouth.

The reason is simple, Apple, Google, IBM and other high-tech companies in the United States and the European Union are all big customers of Samsung.

Under the process of globalization, many American companies are also Samsung's upstream suppliers. Not to mention Samsung's chip manufacturing technology, as well as many products from the technology authorized by the alliance company.

If [Haitang Book House fo] Samsung insists on going its own way, then at least it must get enough benefits from enjoying technology.

After all, for Samsung Group, Samsung mobile phone is only one of the departments, and it can't influence the decision-making of the entire group.

With everyone's understanding of the real boss of Changxiang Technology, it is obvious that he is unwilling to take what Samsung Group wants.

In fact, from a purely commercial point of view, it is better to compromise with Samsung Group than to sit back at the negotiating table and resolve the matter peacefully. After all, this is the fastest way to restore the supply of brain-computer chips, and it is also the most in line with the interests of China.

Now let's wait for the news to ferment and see how Changxiang Technology reacts.

The alliance has prepared several sets of plans, just waiting for Changxiang Technology to make a move with Weihua.

......

The news spread quickly.

Originally, there was no intention to block the news, only when the news spreads can Changxiang Technology and Weihua have no way to hide, so that those mobile phone manufacturers who have signed an agreement with Changxiang Technology can perceive the danger and put pressure on Changxiang Technology, and only then can consumers who are eager to buy new products make a fuss on the Internet.

Of course, no one will admit that they are in charge of all this.

Even if the truth is exposed by the online sharing technology, it will only be pushed to the point that TSMC does not abide by business ethics.

What does this have to do with them?

However, although various news on the Internet intensified, Weihua and Changxiang Technology, which were in the center of the storm, did not react at the first time, neither refuting the rumors nor explaining.

Well, presumably the two are urgently negotiating how to solve this problem, or are arguing with Samsung Group.

However, since there was no reaction from the two families, they naturally did not need to make any movement.

It wasn't until the next day that an announcement appeared on Weihua's official website.

The main content of the notice is to admit the fact that TSMC stopped manufacturing brain-computer chips for the two companies, and condemned TSMC's behavior of not following business rules. Of course, the words are still more subtle.

After all, there are still 7nm process mobile phone chips for China that need to be manufactured by TSMC, so it is naturally impossible to completely tear the face.

This is not too surprising to everyone.

But then Weihua's statement is intriguing.

Although the sudden interruption of the supply of TSMC to the company's stocking has caused some trouble, it will not delay the normal sale of Weihua P45 in Huaxia, nor will it affect Weihua's upcoming press conference in Europe, but the subsequent product pricing may fluctuate.

However, there is no explanation for where the chip comes from for China, and there is no explanation for the reason for the price fluctuation, but it is just a statement that it will once again confirm with TSMC that the order cannot be coordinated, and the brain-computer chip licensee, Changxiang Technology, will issue a statement simultaneously.

Weihua's statement left Silicon Valley bigwigs scratching their heads.

Is this a smoke grenade?

Or did Weihua hook up with Samsung a long time ago?

According to them, the supply interruption of TSMC has no impact on the sale of products at all?

How is this possible?

Everyone is seeing the sales of the P45.

It can be said that the emergence of brain-computer chips directly broke the ceiling of the entire industry.

The first batch of three million stocks was snatched up in three minutes, which has broken the sales record of smartphones in recent years, and then directly opened the pre-sale mode for China. The second batch of pre-orders will not be able to start shipping until 10 days or even half a month at the earliest, and even so, a day after the pre-orders opened, Weihua's official website and the two major online flagship stores had to suspend the pre-order application.

According to industry estimates, the second wave of pre-sales is conservatively estimated to be 600 to 8 million units.

According to the data given by TSMC, the brain-computer chips they delivered to Weihua, plus the inventory of the previous Weihua warehouse, are only enough to support this second wave of pre-sales in Huaxia at most.

There is no room to meet the needs of users after the European launch.

Not to mention the current Huaxia offline channels, a Huawei P45 has been hyped to nearly 9000, and many consumers are complaining.

How could Weihua still have the confidence to issue such a statement at this time?

Even if Samsung starts to debug the production line according to the characteristics of the brain-computer chip, it will inevitably not be able to keep up with the rhythm.

However, without waiting for these bigwigs to understand Weihua's attitude, Changxiang Technology also issued a statement through the official website.

If Weihua's statement is still restrained, the statement of Changxiang Technology is almost not directly scolded by TSMC's nose.

The statement once again proved that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. unilaterally broke the contract, which had a very serious impact on the goodwill of Changxiang Technology, and criticized this breach of contract, in addition to liquidated damages, Changxiang Technology directly stated that it would include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company in the cooperation blacklist in the future, and resolutely investigate its liability for breach of contract.

It's really super confident!
