Chapter 341: 80 million big order

Since the outside world has given mortal technology the title of "subversive", Wang Fan naturally wants to subvert all the way to the end.

Such an important key device as the mobile phone, the core entrance of the Internet, and the absolute hub of other smart hardware, Wang Fan cannot let go.

Therefore, Apple's hegemony is destined to be shaken, and even Samsung's position as the world's No. 1 market share must be ceded!

Moreover, this time node is not too late, and it will even be quite fast!

"Then what are you going to do?" asked Wang Fan.

Cook shook his head: "Although the market performance of the iPhone 6S series is not good, Apple will not sell it at a lower price no matter what." ”

"Do you mean to launch a new product, or product line, such as a mid-range phone, to increase volume, seize market share, and make up for the decline of the iPhone 6S series?"

"I can't rule out this possibility!" Cook nodded: "Apple is ready to launch a new mobile phone to fill the gap in the mid-range mobile phone market." Although it is helpless, there is no way. ”

Looking at Cook's gloomy expression, Wang Fan couldn't help but sigh: The naivety of the mobile phone industry is about to change, and even Apple, the absolute hegemon, has to start compromising.

If the previous iPhone5C was a mid-range machine down, then this new mid-range machine is Apple's official all-out attack on the mid-range market!

And Samsung has begun to march to the thousand-yuan machine, ready to sell more than 1,000 mobile phones!

In such a fiercely competitive market, no one wants to sit firmly in the high-end, even Apple and Samsung.

But this node is also an opportunity for mortal technology!

The timing of the Great Reshuffle. It is the best choice for mortal mobile phones to show their glory!

"When will it be released?" asked Wang Fan.

"It's November now. It was intended to be released in the first quarter of next year. But because of your baseband chip, I think this time node may be advanced. Well, probably by the end of this year. Cook said after a moment of deep thought.

"Is it two months? about the same, how much do you expect to need?" Wang Fan asked.

"At least 50 million, can it be produced?" asked Cook holding out five fingers.

Wang Fan shook his head: "2 months, 50 million." It's difficult. After all, the baseband of our mortal technology can't only supply you apples!"

Cook waved his hand: "It's not a problem, we can go up the price by 10%!"

Wang Fan smiled: "Dude, that's not how the game is played. If you raise the price by 10%, maybe I can guarantee that more than half of the overall production capacity will be the first to supply you within 2 months! Two months later, Mortal Technology will complete the ramp-up of production capacity, and production capacity should no longer be a problem!"

Cook pondered again and finally nodded: "Yes, but you have to promise to give us at least 5 million in early November." Another 10 million pieces will be delivered in early December, and it is guaranteed to meet Apple's future needs. Otherwise you will pay a lot of liquidated damages!"

"The conditions are acceptable! Wang Fan replied with a smile.

"Haha, it's time to talk about the price at the end!" Cook laughed suddenly.

Wang Fan was dumbfounded, the cooperation was over, and he didn't knock out the price code, which is also wonderful.

"You know, such an advanced baseband is much more powerful than Qualcomm, and the natural technical difficulty and cost, as well as R&D investment, are much higher......"

"Let's just talk about the price!" Cook laughed, "Those lines don't make much sense." ”

Wang Fan was embarrassed: "The market price of CDMA baseband C1 is 400 a piece, and according to the amount of apples, it can be 300, but the priority supply is 330, and the price is 330!"

"You're as ruthless as Qualcomm, no, even worse than Qualcomm!" Cook said.

Wang Fan smiled faintly, Qualcomm has always had the name of buying baseband and sending chips, that is, the price of a separate baseband is the same as the price of a chip with integrated baseband.

In this way, other mobile phone manufacturers are forced to choose Qualcomm's chips directly, or use other chips to plug in the VIA 55nm antique baseband solution!

Generally speaking, LianTek's flagship chip is more than 200 Huaxia coins, Qualcomm's flagship chip starts at 400 Huaxia coins, and the price of CDMA baseband is also at this level.

Today, the market price of Mortal Technology's C1 baseband is 400 a piece, and even Apple's bulk purchase is 330, which is more than Qualcomm.

In fact, this pricing strategy is beneficial to Apple. Wang Fan said.

"Oh, how do you say that?" said Cook.

"Such a high pricing strategy directly separates the thousand-yuan machine from the flagship machine! The thousand-yuan machine will never be willing to spend 400/500 to buy the C1 and Q1 basebands of Mortal Technology. Even the average 2000/3000 mobile phone is reluctant to spend this money! Therefore, this can greatly reduce the impact of mobile phones at this price on Apple, especially Huaxia manufacturers!"

Cook nodded, and suddenly said, "So, you are suppressing the development of Huaxia mobile phones?

Wang Fan said: "It's not counting, it's just accelerating the reshuffle process of the Chinese mobile phone market." Mobile phones should be pursuing more advanced technology, more innovative functions, and a better experience! Instead of boring tearing marketing, sky-high advertising, and priceless price wars!

In fact, Wang Fan had a more important reason for not saying it.

That is, mortal technology is about to fully enter the mobile phone market, and then there will be a bloody storm, those who have gone astray Huaxia mobile phone manufacturers, rather than meaninglessly insisting, in the end they have suffered heavy losses, it is better to get out of it now, and then find a way out.

After all, once the mortal mobile phone is released, the vast majority of Huaxia mobile phone brands have no technical support, no patent accumulation, and even no bright spots, except for Apple, it is easy to be completely finished directly!

"Apple accepts this price, as long as you can guarantee the production capacity and yield rate ......"

…………

Smoothly won Apple's order, Wang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and half of Qualcomm's country was completely wasted.

What's more, it's just the beginning!

Soon, Cook and Wang Fan jointly announced that Apple would purchase a large number of C1 basebands from Mortal Technology!

This news made the Qualcomm CEO in the corner completely pale.

Without Apple, their Qualcomm future is basically bleak!

However, the disaster is not a single line, and soon, Xiaomi, Meizu, ZTE, Coolpad, Lenovo, etc., all found Wang Fan.

Wang Fan didn't have time to deal with them one by one, so he directly asked people to find a room, put some fruits on it, and everyone talked while eating.

In the end, Xiaomi placed 5 million orders, Meizu placed 3 million orders, and ZTE, Coolpad, and Lenovo each placed 2 million orders......

plus several other mobile phone manufacturers, a total of 30 million, plus Apple's 50 million, directly achieve 80 million orders!
