Banning chips is already a big move in the United States, and banning the use of Android systems on the basis of banning chips is basically grabbing the seven inches of Xiaomi's mobile phone and making it unable to move.

Mi also gave Xiao Mi a way out, and "abandoned the dark and turned to the light" returned to the arms of Mi with the Pangu Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement (Vote for Name).

米国 likes obedient tech companies to creative and thoughtful tech companies.

This is the reason for the differentiation of Xia Guo's technology companies this time.

is also using Qualcomm chips and Android systems, O, V and other manufacturers are fine, the production of the production should be sold, and it can even be sold to the United States with great fanfare, advertising in Times Square.

But Warwick and Xiaomi can't.

Why?

Because O and V manufacturers are more obedient, although they are also making mobile phones and have direct competition with Apple, but in the eyes of the people of Mi Guo, these two companies are just assembly and processing plants, and they cannot pose any threat to Mi Guo Technology.

O and V do not master any core technology, and the United States can let O and V make money in Xia and the world today, and tomorrow they can also go bankrupt immediately. The reason why we ignore O and V is because Qualcomm and other Mi technology manufacturers also need to ship, need revenue, and make money.

Warwick and Xiaomi are different, after Qualcomm chips and other communication electronic equipment of Mi are sold to these two companies, there will indeed be trade volume, and Mi can indeed make money. However, these two companies cooperate with Pangu Technology, and like Pangu Technology, they want to innovate and have the idea of challenging the authority of the United States.

If you want to innovate, you can innovate your advertising, consider which celebrities to endorse, or innovate the appearance design of the mobile phone, the position of the camera and other harmless things, as long as it does not pose a threat to the technological hegemony of the United States.

But what is wrong with the innovation of these two Pangu science and technology companies, they want to innovate chips, systems, and communications, which are all forbidden in the United States.

If you don't clean up, who will you clean up?

After the ban in the United States, the technology companies in Xia Kingdom presented two heavens.

On the one hand, after a period of declining sales, O and V mobile phones rebounded again, and their sales surpassed Xiaomi's to rank third and fourth in Xiaguo.

This time, the increase in sales is mainly due to low-end mobile phones, because the low-end mobile phones of Xiaomi and Huawei cannot be produced at all after not being licensed by Android.

The three models that Xiaomi plans to launch, a total of 13 million mobile phones, have all been on strike by foundries because they cannot import mobile phone parts such as chips, and both Xiaomi and foundries have suffered serious losses.

The mid-to-low-end mobile phones that have announced the model number are a major blow to consumers.

Apple, which was about to die in the Xia market, jumped to second place in sales overnight, and Samsung, which was already dead, jumped to fifth place in sales.

"If we don't take a solution, we are facing a collapse in profits, and the resulting cash flow disruption is unbearable!"

At the Yanjing Xiaomi headquarters, after the communication with the United States was ineffective, the high-level urgently held a meeting to find a way.

"The chip immediately contacted MediaTek and replaced Qualcomm with MediaTek's chips. In terms of system, we can use the low-configuration version of the Tiangong system. We also have a certain inventory of other parts, so that we can complete the order of about 7 million red Mi series, so as not to let the whole series of mobile phones collectively miss the appointment. ”

Because it is a low-end model, it is necessary to control the cost, so in terms of chips, Xiaomi does not dare to consider Pranya.

After the headquarters meeting was decided, Xiaomi immediately contacted MediaTek, hoping to get support.

Xiaomi's negotiation team even came to the headquarters of Yizhou MediaTek with cash to apply for the purchase of chips.

However, MediaTek seems to have received pressure from the United States side and rejected Xiaomi's request on the grounds that the inventory is insufficient and the order needs a cycle of half a year to a year.

Xiao Mi negotiator: "I remember that the year before last we purchased from your company, and your company promised your production capacity. ”

"I'm sorry, but there's really not enough capacity. ”

The most humiliating scene in the history of science and technology in Xia Guo appeared.

Xiaomi mobile phones, which once ranked second in sales in Xia and fourth in the world, thought that there was no core available, and the entire production of low-end mobile phones fell into a state of shock, and the supply time was far away.

Several local companies in Xia Guo, similar to Foxconn, that OEM mobile phones for Xiaomi have declared bankruptcy because of the broken capital chain.

Xiao Mi herself, if it weren't for the high-end mobile phone (Panruo chip + Tiangong system) to support it, it is very likely that she would not be able to die as early as those OEM companies.

For a time, everyone in the entire Xia Kingdom's science and technology industry and mobile phone-related processing and manufacturing industry was in danger.

Manufacturers such as O, V, and Meizu seized the time to sign huge orders with Qualcomm and MediaTek, etc., and prepared all the chips for the next year.

Qualcomm viciously slaughtered Xia Guo manufacturers, and the price of chips increased by 10%.

10% also have to be bought, who calls themselves unable to produce it.

What made Xiao Mi the most angry was MediaTek, which only said a few days ago that there was no inventory, and then sold the goods to other companies in Xia Guo in a blink of an eye. Isn't this a clear trick for yourself?!

In the face of interests, it is normal for major enterprises to make such a choice in order to survive. Xiaomi will not blame Liankefa, nor will she blame O and V manufacturers.

The only thing Xiao Mi has to blame is that she didn't innovate and make efforts in independent research and development at the beginning.

When the United States sanctioned Warwick, Xiaomi herself was also buying Qualcomm chips in a sullen voice, which is not fundamentally different from today's O and V.

Xiao Mi, who is in an extremely critical situation, held a press briefing.

At the meeting, Xiaomi's press spokesperson said: "For well-known reasons, some of our mobile phone products cannot be produced and sold...... But please rest assured that all employees of Xiaomi will work together to tide over the difficulties...... We will definitely not give in to some forces. Insisting on independent innovation will be the only way for Xiaomi in the future......"

The speech is undoubtedly tragic and moving, but it does not solve the fundamental problem.

But Xiao Mi also released a strong signal to the outside world, since everyone broke up, they will fight to the end.

In comparison, Warwick is a lot better.

The chip problem of low-end mobile phones can be solved by Warwick's own HiSilicon, and the system problem can be solved by Tiangong.

Although this has led to a huge decrease in the production of Warwick's low-end mobile phones, an increase in costs, and the export of Warwick equipment to the outside world, at least it can grit its teeth and survive.

Xia Guo's entire technology industry, including the public opinion circles, was shaken, and everyone didn't expect that Xiao Mi and Warwick, whom everyone was proud of, were actually relatively vulnerable.

Especially Xiaomi, the lifeline is basically in the hands of the people of the United States, let you give birth to you, let you die, you will have a lifelong disability if you don't die.

Pangu Technology is silently paying attention to all this, and Lin Li and Xu Limin have been urgently discussing coping strategies with the technical team.
