Chapter 394: A Big Order of 950 Million US Knife Chips! Tomituksu who was robbed of business!
In the height of summer in August, the greenery spreads.
The river wind swept up a wave of heat, swept over the calm water, and the dazzling light poured down, and for a time the water was sparkling, as if there were thousands of silver-scaled small fish floating on the river.
An 82-foot Max luxury yacht that sails smoothly against the turbulent currents.
On the third floor, facing the stern, there is an open-air observation deck with air coolers running hard and tables filled with high-end drinks and snacks.
"Mr. Chen, with your financial resources and status, you should buy a private island on the east coast of Daxiyang, where the water is much clearer."
Apple CEO Tim smiled and touted.
Lu Lei, the executive president of Dahua District, secretly looked at the young man opposite, short-sleeved beach pants, and a pair of flip-flops on his feet, looking very grinning.
Looking at himself and Tim again, the suit is straight, if it weren't for the two air coolers next to it, in this scorching season, I'm afraid I would have fainted.
"Mr. Tim, why bother to go far, there are many islands in the Yazhou region, but I'm not interested in them."
Chen Heyu said in a flat tone.
Rebus, who was sitting on the side, was also dressed casually in white T shorts, and then saw that Lu Lei and Tim were tightly wrapped.
He couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, and asked the two of them to change their outfits, but he was reluctant to wear a set of business dresses.
"Mr. Chen, take the liberty of asking, does Pinghua have a chance to buy Shanhai M-5 chips?"
Tim asked tentatively.
"There is an old saying in Huaguo, open the door to welcome customers from all over the world, Shanhai Microelectronics is naturally not refusing to come to buyers, not to mention, Pinghua has always been a loyal partner of Shanhai Group."
Chen Hayu smiled slightly and gave Tim an affirmative answer.
Whether it is Pinghua or Sanxing, he will not refuse, if Shanhai M-5 chip wants to go out, it cannot be used as an exclusive product of Rice Technology.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, on behalf of Pinghua, I am ready to purchase 10 million Shanhai M-5 chips."
Tim breathed a sigh of relief and went straight to the point.
"As far as I know, next month's autumn new product launch will be launched on the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, and they are all equipped with A11 Bionic chips.
I don't know what Mr. Tim plans to use these 10 million Shanhai M-5 chips for? ”
Chen Heyu asked softly.
When Tim and Lu Lei came to the door, he was also stunned for a moment, never expecting that the first mobile phone manufacturer to seek cooperation would be Pinghua.
After all, in addition to using the Sanxing S5L8900, Intel X-Gold 608 and XMM6180 chips a decade ago, since the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 in 2011, Apple has stopped using processors from other companies and opted for its own A5 chip.
"Frankly speaking, I'm going to launch a special edition based on the iPhone X model, or it will be named iPhone S, with the Shanhai M-5 processor as the core selling point."
Tim said honestly.
Anyway, there is only one month left before the new product launch, and it seems pointless to conceal it.
Lei Jun touched his nose and looked at Tim meaningfully, last year, Pinghua lost to Rice Technology in terms of shipments, and now he obviously wants to get back to the field.
The three new models are not enough for the other party to toss, and the idea of Shanhai M-5 chips has been started.
"Sounds great, no wonder Mr. Tim is at the helm of such a large Apple empire, of course I won't refuse this little thing."
Chen Heyu readily agreed.
"However, I've been in a bit of trouble lately, and I wonder if Mr. Tim will help?"
Then, he changed his words and let out a long sigh.
Tim and Lu Lei looked at each other.
It was instantly clear in his heart that things were really not so simple, Chen Heyu obviously negotiated with conditions, if he did not agree to his request, the cooperation in purchasing Shanhai M-5 chips could only fail.
If a year ago, Tim would have just waved his sleeves away, even if the Shanhai M-5 chip used the 7nm process, it would not be enough to make him anxious.
Because the number of transistors is only a necessary condition for a high-performance chip processor, but not a major condition, higher performance and lower power consumption can be achieved by optimizing the chip architecture, adopting a high-frequency design approach, and enhancing the power management unit and power supply system.
Even if the 10nm process technology has the opportunity to surpass the 7nm product.
However, this premise is based on the superiority of chip design, but Pinghua's A11 Bionic processor, in front of Shanhai M-5, does not have the advanced design level at all.
The number of transistors in the A11 Bionic is 5.4 billion, and the number of transistors in the Shanhai M-5 is 7.8 billion, a difference of 44.4%.
In addition, when it comes to Ai neural engine, frame design, GPU, and energy management, the A11 Bionic has no advantages.
In between, the Shanhai M-5 has 65% more performance cores and 70% more energy efficiency cores than the A11 Bionic core.
In the area of hard power, Apple lost completely!
"Mr. Chen, please speak."
Tim's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he asked worriedly, for fear that Chen Heyu would make some excessive requests.
"Mr. Tim, don't be nervous, I have expanded a super factory in Lucheng, so I urgently need digital OEM orders."
Chen Heyu said lightly.
OEM orders?
Tim suddenly said that the other party had taken a fancy to the assembly business of Pinghua's mobile phone, and the current OEM orders in Dahua District were basically handed over to Futukang.
"Mr. Chen, the cost of producing a Pinghua mobile phone is only 10 US dollars, can Shanhai Group see this small profit?"
Tim thought for a moment, puzzled.
"Isn't it something a boss should do to find food for his employees?"
Chen Heyu said noncommittally.
As for Futukang in Bay Island, after so many years, the money in Dahua District should have been enough, and it was the turn of the Shanhai Super Factory to take over.
This bowl of rice, Fu Tukang wants to eat?
No way!
"No problem, I can hand over the production of the iPhone S to the Lucheng Gigafactory and pay the same OEM fee as Futukang."
Tim replied immediately.
"Not enough."
Chen Heyu shook his head, picked up the wine glass and took a sip lightly, and said with a straight face.
"What does Mr. Chen mean? Not enough price or not enough order? ”
Lu Lei interjected.
"I agree with the price, but the number of orders is too small, my second super factory in Lucheng, the first phase of the recruitment of 100,000 operators, of course, 10 million business volume is far from satisfying.
60 million units, let's cooperate first to take a look and comprehensively evaluate the yield rate and production efficiency of Shanhai Super Factory. ”
Chen Heyu said with a smile.
The 100,000-employee mobile phone assembly plant can produce at least 60 million mobile phones, 20 million laptops, and 50 million pairs of headphones throughout the year, but Apple Can't get that many orders.
Unless, reduce the scale of Futukang's business!
"Haven't I heard anyone say that Chen Heyu has a grudge against Guo Canming of Bay Island?"
Lu Lei speculated wildly in his heart.
The order volume of 60 million units accounts for almost 30% of the annual shipment of Pinghua mobile phones!
"Mr. Chen, the production order of 60 million units is too high, at most 20 million units, otherwise it will affect the cooperative relationship between Pinghua and Futukang."
Before Tim could react, he said frankly.
"Mr. Tim, don't you care about the partnership with Shanhai Group?"
Chen Heyu's face sank and asked in a sullen voice.
“?”
Tim was stunned for a moment, and Yu Guang saw Lu Lei's hint in his eyes, and finally figured out that Chen Heyu was going to Futukang.
One is the assembly process with no technical content and added value, and the other is the exclusive monopoly of 7nm chips and mature chip foundry services, Tim quickly made the decision to abandon Futukang!
"In addition to the production order for the iPhone S, I will also take out the assembly business of 50 million units of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus."
Tim replied heartily.
"Happy working together!"
Chen Heyu nodded with satisfaction, raised his glass and touched it with Tim and Lu Lei.
Rebus didn't care, he was a spectator the whole time, he won half of Tim last year, and if it surpasses Apple Confectionery in revenue today, Rice Technology is the world's No. 2 mobile phone brand.
Riding the wind and waves all the way, the yacht cruised along the bank of the Huangpu River, taking in the scenery on both sides of the river.
After the two parties decided on the date of signing the contract, they invariably raised their glasses and drank freely.
Time passed minute by minute, and the afterglow fell on the surface of the river, dying a large area of red.
"Mr. Tim, the dinner will be arranged at the Pinghe Hotel in front, this time let you taste the flavor of Jiangnan."
Chen Heyu greeted warmly.
"I'm in trouble, I hope that Mr. Chen will come to the beautiful country next time, so that I can do my landlord's friendship."
Tim had a warm look on his face and was extremely hospitable.
"There must be a chance."
Chen Heyu said casually.
The group walked on the viewing avenue, walking towards the Peace Hotel without hurry, followed by the assistant and bodyguard of the black press.
After dealing with Tim and Lu Lei, the night outside the window was already dark, and the lights were on and the neon was flickering.
After watching the two of them leave in the car, Lei Jun retracted his gaze and quipped in a low voice: "Boss, you have found a good opponent for me, and I wanted to rely on Shanhai M-5 to fight a turnaround......
The second half of the sentence was not finished, but what Rebus wanted to say, Chen Heyu knew very well.
"Defeating an opponent is only a momentary courage, controlling the opponent is the real victory. The A11 chip is manufactured by Shanhai Microelectronics, and the M-5 chip will also become an important part of Pinghua's mobile phone.
Counting the assembly business, as long as we earn a higher percentage of net profit than Apple's board of directors, does it still make sense to beat Apple? ”
Chen Heyu said with deep meaning.
“……”
Lei Jun was silent, but at the same time he had to admit that what the boss said was indeed reasonable.
Just like the relationship between Shanhai Capital and Maiweida, Chen Heyu is already the largest shareholder of the other party with the highest shareholding ratio, and there is naturally no obstacle to cooperation.
It even took the lead in launching the world's first 7nm graphics card product, GeForce Micro 100X, a few months before Rice Technology.
"Okay, let's go back, making a mobile phone is not only about hardware, but also about the software system."
Chen Heyu smiled slightly, patted Lei Jun on the shoulder, and then sat in the car and waved goodbye.
"We, the brands that sell mobile phones, have all become your pawns."
Rebus laughed self-deprecatingly.
A few years have passed, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with being a little brother to Chen Heyu.
He realized his dream of becoming one of the world's top 500 companies ahead of schedule and successfully entered the automotive industry, coupled with the best-selling hovering motorcycle, the name Lei Jun became synonymous with a world-renowned entrepreneur.
In the dead of night, he once asked himself, can Rice Technology achieve this step by relying on its own strength alone?
The answer is self-explanatory!
"Boss, let's go back."
Cheng Xi came up, touched the stunned boss, and reminded in a whisper.
"Back in Lucheng, I want to check the production line of the Lucheng Rice Automobile Factory to ensure that the order for the flying motorcycle can be delivered on time."
Lei Jun commanded.
This time he came to Shanghai, he received a large order, the northwest and southwest regions, and ordered 1,000 rice flying motorcycles to facilitate daily patrols.
Halfway through, Chen Heyu took out his mobile phone, and after seeing a text message, he asked Lao Mo to turn around.
Ding Mo didn't say a word, and drove towards the familiar route, and said secretly in his heart: "Men, they all have one or two weaknesses. ”
The next day, Shanhai Microelectronics and Pinghua signed a chip supply cooperation and an assembly and production contract for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone S.
The outside world learned that Shanhai Group quietly built a large factory in Lucheng, which can accommodate 700,000 employees.
Rice's smart digital products, home appliances, furniture, lamps and other products are exported to all over the world.
On the Gray Island Road, the influence of rice technology is increasing day by day, and the life of Little Gray is full of various household appliances and digital equipment for rice production.
Even if there are no orders from Apple Confectionery, the expanding overseas market will be able to absorb the full capacity of the two large factories.
Relying on two super factories, a Shanhai TV factory and a rice automobile factory, Lucheng has siphoned millions of ordinary workers from surrounding cities in three years, thus promoting the prosperity of the local economy.
In the Q3 quarter of 2017, the total population of Lucheng exceeded 10 million, and housing prices are rising!
Compared with the previous life, the increase in the same period was 15%-20%, which may be the only negative impact brought by Shanhai Group.
Whoever lets too many young men and women fall in love for a year and a half in the factory, they have to go through the process of talking about marriage.
The average price of real estate in Lucheng once exceeded 16,000 yuan per square meter, and ordinary workers in the two super factories had to go without food or drink for a whole year to afford the down payment.
Chen Heyu originally planned to auction a few pieces of residential land to build a community and sell them to employees, so that the house price could be half cheaper, but Secretary Wu tried his best to stop him.
"Brother Heyu, great kindness is like great hatred, great good is great evil, on the one hand, this approach may not be exchanged for the same return; On the other hand, you have made money from real estate, banks, and supporting supply chain enterprises, so how can others live? ”
Secretary Wu said succinctly.
Chen Heyu thought about it again and again, and finally gave up this decision, Secretary Wu has his selfish intentions, but there is some truth in his words.
Subsequently, he announced a new benefit to all employees of Shanhai Group, borrowing money from Moss electronic payment at an interest rate of only 0.3%.
To put it simply, borrow 500,000 Chinese dollars and repay it in 360 months, and the repayment amount in each installment is only 1,513 Chinese dollars, of which 1,388 yuan is the principal and 125 yuan is the interest.
The interest for 30 years is only 22,000 Chinese dollars!
This benefit completely ignited the new housing transaction market in Lucheng, and young people who graduated less than two years ago, with the support of their families, scraped together a little down payment and dared to grit their teeth and dare to get on the bus.
On the other hand, the news of the in-depth cooperation between Pinghua and Shanhai Microelectronics instantly occupied the headlines of major news around the world.
"Icebreaker tour! Tim, CEO of Pinghua, sent a purchase order of 950 million US dollars, a dream combination of domestic chips and Pinghua's mobile phones! ”
"Lucheng Super Factory won the first battle and won 60 million production orders for Pinghua!"
……
Guo Canming, who is far away on Bay Island, sits at home, and the pot comes from the sky.
"Shanhai Group? Labor didn't provoke any of you! ”
He couldn't help but be indignant.
