Chapter 265: Negotiating with Qualcomm

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO DEEP SPACE TECHNOLOGY, AND ONLY SOME USERS OF APPLE MOBILE PHONES NOTICED THAT THERE WERE NOT A FEW SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS ON THE APP AND STORE.

Regarding this matter, Nebula Software Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Deep Space Technology Group, immediately issued an announcement, asking users to wait patiently and negotiating with Apple.

Nebulas Software Technology Co., Ltd. questioned Apple and asked why it was taken off the shelves. Apple's response to deep space technology's questions was also vague, saying that it was under review, and it was unclear when the review would be completed.

"This is a hooligan!" Gao Yuan is not light, after the adjustment of the company's structure this year, see me"APP" has been merged into the newly established Mars Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., she is the senior vice president in charge of the mobile phone application business.

"Don't worry, we don't have many Apple users, and the impact is not big. Meng Xiaobai comforted.

"But it still leads to user churn. Gao Yuan said, "There are still many Apple mobile phone users in Huaxia. ”

"They let us lose users of our software, and we will let them lose users of their mobile phones!" Meng Xiaobai said coldly, "Within two years, I want to make Apple mobile phones become antiques in China!"

"Improving software services?" asked Qiao Jian.

"That's right!" Meng Xiaobai said, "speed up the development of mobile phone software services and launch more intelligent software." Let users see that without our software, Apple's mobile phone is just a brick, and they will eventually shoot themselves in the foot!"

"That's one for now. Meng Xiaobai said, "The most important thing is the problem of memory and chips. ”

"That's right!" Pan Yu nodded, "The price increase of Samsung's memory and the price of Qualcomm's smart chips are the most urgent things to solve now!"

"Can you talk to them?" asked Gao Yuan.

"Of course you can talk about it. Pan Yu said, "They raise prices in the hope that we will give up more profits." But the core technology is in their mobile phones, no matter how they talk about it, it is they who have the initiative to grasp the words. ”

"I'm not very optimistic about the negotiations. In any case, we have to pay a big price. ”

"Not necessarily. Meng Xiaobai said.

Everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions, and Pan Yu asked, "Mr. Meng, we have no choice but to talk to them." ”

"Our smart electronic products sell a performance. Without these two core components of theirs, our products would be basically useless!"

The reason why Mercury smart home appliances and Mars smartphones can sweep the market is because of their excellent performance, and the core components provided by Samsung and Qualcomm are an indispensable part of meeting performance requirements.

"Not necessarily, we can do it ourselves. Meng Xiaobai said.

"Can we do it?" Pan Yu used a completely puzzled tone, this is the top technology, which has been monopolized by foreign manufacturers. Not to mention them, even those technology companies that have been developing for more than ten years can't do it.

Meng Xiaobai smiled and said nothing, about five months ago, he obtained Batman Bruce Wayne's semiconductor technology information and equipment. And he transmitted these materials to the robot "Wang Yuanhang", now the technical director of Deep Space Semiconductor.

Under the leadership of Wang Yuanhang, the confidential research and development of deep space semiconductors has been going on for five months! They have already achieved some results, and now no one in the outside world knows how far they have gone except for the researchers and Meng Xiaobai.

In fact, the R&D achievements of deep space semiconductors have allowed deep space technology to get rid of the control of foreign manufacturers. It's just that this is absolutely confidential, and even Pan Yu, who is the president of Mars Intelligent Technology, doesn't know about it.

"Mr. Meng, what is it?" Pan Yu said curiously, Meng Xiaobai's smile must have a hole card.

"I can't tell you yet. Meng Xiaobai said, "But you can rest assured that you can negotiate with Samsung and Qualcomm." ”

"Our attitude is very simple, refuse to raise prices! No matter what they threaten, we must strongly refuse! See what other means they have!"

"...... do this" Pan Yu originally wanted to ask something, but seeing Meng Xiaobai's firm tone, he nodded and said, "Okay." I reckon they will certainly not budge. ”

……

Pan Yu's guess was not wrong, and neither Samsung nor Qualcomm budged.

Samsung Group said that the price increase was due to the increase in the price of raw materials in the international market, and it was not aimed at a company of deep space technology.

And Qualcomm didn't bother to give an excuse, so it directly sent someone to reply: "This is the price set after careful consideration by the group." If Mars can't accept it, they will stop supplying subsequent 5G smart chips. ”

I don't know who released the news and published it in the media.

Qualcomm said: If Mars does not accept the price increase, it will stop the supply of 5G smart chips!"

As soon as the news came out, netizens were all fried.

Du Hu Tie Yi: "What do you mean? In the future, there will be no chips for Mars smartphones?"

Tick tock: "It means that the price is going to rise! Now that Mars mobile phones are sold so expensive, if the price increases, they can't afford it at all!"

Xiao Xiaoliang: "Qualcomm has made a move, this is a rogue company! It's over, what should I do if the Mars mobile phone doesn't have its own 5G chip?"

I want to eat supper every day: "You can buy birch!"

Yueting: "Birch will not sell at all. One thing to say, Huawei's mobile phone chip is indeed inferior to Qualcomm. ”

Enlightenment: "Hey, the Martian mobile phone has also been sanctioned, cool." ”

……

On the Internet, there is a voice of decay. Netizens and media are predicting that Mars smartphones will encounter the biggest blow since its inception.

Either compromise Qualcomm or lose the chip, either option would be a disaster for the Martian phone!

Because of this news, on the same day, the stock market, Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, and even domestic rice and other companies, the stock prices soared, and investors seemed to have seen the scene of the collapse of Mars Technology.

On a news talk show of the day, the host and guests mentioned this topic.

The host asked: "Mr. Ma is a well-known entrepreneur and is also very familiar with the Internet and smartphone industries, what do you think of today's news that Deep Space Technology and Qualcomm failed to negotiate." ”

Mr. Ma, a guest, replied: "First of all, I want to say that our domestic technology companies are still weaker than foreign companies in terms of scientific and technological hard power. Let's just say this chip, if Qualcomm stops giving Mars mobile phones 5G smart chips, Mars mobile phones will almost completely fail!"

"No matter how serious it can be, without Qualcomm's G5 smart chip, no matter how good the Mars mobile phone is, it is useless! So I think Deep Space Technology should negotiate with Qualcomm again and make compromises and concessions. ”

"Do you mean that this price increase turmoil between Qualcomm and Samsung Group will definitely affect Deep Space Technology?" asked the host.

"Yes, one hundred percent. The guest nodded.

……

"If we don't agree to the price increase, they will stop our supply?" Although he had already guessed the result, Meng Xiaobai still felt unhappy.

He ordered: "Announcement, the next smart product starts, whether it is a Martian smartphone or a Mercury smart home appliance, will refuse to adopt Qualcomm's smart chips." We're going to launch our own smart chips!"

"It's the same with Samsung, if they still insist on raising prices, we don't need their memory!"

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Deep Space Technology Group issued an announcement: "In view of the fact that the negotiations with Samsung Electronics and Qualcomm are not smooth. Our group has decided that the follow-up intelligent electronic products will adopt intelligent chips and memories that are completely independently designed and developed. Please wait for a follow-up message for more information. ”

As soon as this news came out, the Internet exploded.

"What? They actually said that?" Rice Technology, Tian Bing never thought that Deep Space Technology would be so tough, "In this way, whose chip can the Mars mobile phone use? Could it be that they really want to make it themselves? This is impossible!"

"I expected Qualcomm's limitations, but I didn't expect Deep Space Technology to be so tough!" Huawei Technology Co., Ltd., Fan Lianfeng shook his head, "So far, they don't have a chip of their own, why are they so tough?"

"Probably they're just talking about it. The assistant said, "In a few days, I still have to compromise with Qualcomm." ”

……

"Hahaha!" Apple, Kuke laughed rarely, "Qualcomm people, finally did a good thing." ”

Previously, Apple had only finished the lawsuit with Qualcomm, and the two did not deal with each other. But in this matter, they have the same interests.

As for Qualcomm, Paul Jerry learned of Deep Space Technology's announcement and was completely unimpressed.

"Within a month, they will compromise. This announcement is nothing more than a bluff. Ignore them. ”

And Samsung Group, too, did not make any statement. They also took the announcement of deep space technology as a joke, these core technologies, can you study them if you want to?

Not to mention the outside world, even deep space technology has voices questioning, everyone is wondering, what is the company's next move?

If they really don't use Qualcomm's smart chips and Samsung's memory, where can they find hardware with the same performance as this?

The only good news is that because users are worried that they will not be able to buy such Mars smartphones in the future, the sales of Mars smartphones have risen again.

But these sales are also consuming the chip inventory hoarded by Deep Space Technology.

In order to stabilize the morale of the military, Meng Xiaobai decided to show the company's confidence to the senior management first, so he convened the relevant senior executives and prepared to visit Deep Space Semiconductor.

"Deep Space Semiconductor, what else can they not do?" Everyone was very skeptical, Deep Space Semiconductor had been established for two years, and its sense of existence was pitiful. Someone in the company even proposed that this company was revoked, and the money thrown in every year did not see a splash, and the performance of the smart home appliance chip that came out last time was too rubbish, and it was beaten back by Pan Yu.

Semiconductor technology is monopolized by large foreign manufacturers, and they don't expect deep space semiconductors to do anything at all.
