378 Maybe they're just bluffing
Enjoy the technology's statement, the tone is so strong that it can be said to be forgetful.
But that's not all, the sentence at the end of the statement made all these Silicon Valley bigwigs realize the seriousness of the problem.
"Please rest assured that Changxiang Technology has reached an agreement with all mobile phone manufacturers who have previously booked brain-computer chips, and brain-computer chips will be supplied as promised, and Changxiang Technology will also support the design of brain-computer chips equipped with brain-computer chips on the motherboards of various manufacturers, and mobile phones with brain-computer chips will also be listed as scheduled. ”
This......
What's going on?
Could it be that Huaxia has already conquered the technology of the 7nm process and has achieved mass production, but it has been kept secret for a long time?
Impossible!
Just because of the limitations of EUV lithography machines, it is impossible for Huaxia to master the 7nm process technology?
Or Weihua and Changxiang Technology have already reached an agreement with Samsung, and even Samsung has been secretly producing brain-computer chips for the two companies?
But this is obviously not possible either.
Samsung's top management swore that it had not reached any cooperation agreement with Weihua or Changxiang Technology for the time being.
Not to mention this level of cooperation, it is naturally impossible to completely keep the news uncovered.
Who's not in the friends of the business?
This kind of cooperation involving the need for major adjustments in the production line cannot be concealed at all.
So what the hell is going on?
No one thought that the brain-computer chip had two versions from the beginning of its design.
After all, there is no such option in the minds of Silicon Valley bigwigs.
Of course, the chip design must be based on the world's most advanced process standards, how can it be backward compatible?
Have state-of-the-art processes not used?
To design a version of the outdated process?
Is this a head caught in the door?
Spend that energy and money doing such a boring thing?
It's not that the Silicon Valley bigwigs aren't shrewd.
It's like the rich second generation born with a golden key can't understand the life of poor children struggling in life.
Some people think that there is only one set of 180 square meters of large flats at home, and driving a broken car like Audi A6 is already the limit of poverty.
It's even more funny to have an accent in English.
But as everyone knows, there are more families in the same city, three generations of the same house are crowded in an old-fashioned house of less than 30 or 50 square meters, and a curtain is a partition.
Different life experiences naturally make it impossible for both sides to think on the same line.
But this statement is enough for many bigwigs to be vigilant.
Especially Apple's top brassips.
Regardless of where the supply channel comes from, if the supply chain of Changxiang Technology and Weihua's brain-computer chips is not affected, it means that the threat of supply interruption is ineffective, and it will directly challenge Apple's next-generation products.
At this time, if Apple can't launch the same product as scheduled, how much market will it have to give up?
This is absolutely unacceptable to Apple!
So the next day, the bigwigs returned to the conference table.
But this time, the bigwigs all participated in the meeting by video.
After all, no one is so idle, and they can take time out of their day to run to Apple.
The focus of the analysis at this bigwig meeting is where the confidence of enjoying technology and Weihua comes from.
"How many brain-computer chips does TSMC provide to these two companies?"
Obviously, the first artillery fire was concentrated on Liu Jiren of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., who had suffered an unwarranted disaster.
"Weihua's order was the first to be placed, with a total of 13 million pieces, and Changxiang Technology's order was stopped just after more than 300,000 pieces. That's all for the total delivery. Liu Jiren said with a gloomy face.
Obviously, the chairman is probably in a bad mood at this time.
The shit countermeasures developed by a group of grandsons pushed Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing to the forefront and reaped a lot of scolding.
If it's useful, it's just that, the other party is soft, and if you bow your head with these bigwigs, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company can still continue to get orders and make money.
It doesn't matter if you are scolded twice.
But now that the other party obviously can't handle it, it's embarrassing.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has paid such a big price, the production line that has been adjusted, now can only stop work first, these machines are not easy to readjust, after all, the market prospect of brain-computer chips is there, and the market demand for brain-computer chips will start from billions in the future.
As a result, these grandsons still have something to say?
This is also known as video conferencing.
Liu Jiren felt that if this was a live meeting, he might pick up the teacup and smash it directly into Tim Cook's face.
If Cook was in the conference room of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company at this time, Liu Jiren felt that he would really do it.
"Then the problem is, if we all know that 13 million pieces are not enough to meet the shipments of Weihua in China. How can they guarantee that the European launch will take place as scheduled, and will not even delay the European launch?" asked Tim Cook annoyedly.
Europe is indeed a market that Apple cannot ignore, if the Chinese P45 lands as scheduled, Apple does not have any countermeasures, if this market is bitten down, Apple's financial report next year will not be very good.
Apple's biggest fear is the betrayal of developers who are naturally free.
If all these people go to write software for brain-computer chips, what will Apple do?
"Tim, I think you're too sensitive, don't you think the Huaxia are just bluffing? I'm sure they haven't reached any cooperation agreement with Samsung, and Samsung's factory hasn't even started testing the production of brain-computer chips, so I don't know what you're worried about. Do you really think that Huaxia can make chips out of nothing?"
Stephen said confidently.
After all, Intel is very experienced in both designing chips and producing chips, and as a high-tech enterprise that made a fortune from chips, Stephen's words do carry a lot of weight.
"What's the point of bluffing?" said Tim Cook, frowning.
The other party behaved too steadily, which is obviously problematic.
"Maybe it's trying to put pressure on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.? I heard that there is a lot of scolding on Taiwan Island Semiconductor Manufacturing Company on the Huaxia Internet, and Mr. Liu shouldn't be affected by this kind of scolding of losers, right?" Stephen said lightly.
Liu Jiren glanced up at Stephen and didn't say anything.
Of course, I don't know how many MMPs I have in my heart.
After all, who wants to be scolded if they do business well?
Just as the video conference fell silent again, there was a sudden knock on the door of Tim Cook's office.
Tim Cook's face showed a hint of impatience, but he immediately eased his emotions.
"Everyone, please wait. ”
After saying that, the Apple CEO temporarily turned off the microphone and then pressed the pager: "Come in!".
Then the office door opened, and Tim Cook's secretary rushed in.
Without waiting for the boss to reprimand, the secretary hurriedly said: "Mr. Cook, you want me to pay attention to the news at any time and report to you as soon as possible, I just issued a joint statement for Huaxiang Technology, and the two companies have placed the first batch of orders for a total of 20 million brain-computer chips to Huaxin Precision!"
"Huaxin Precision?!!" Tim Cook was stunned.
