Chapter 626: Mobile Phone Chips, A New Beginning
June in Yangcheng is already very hot.
The heat here is not the same as the heat in the north.
It's also 30 degrees Celsius, and if you put it in the north, as long as you don't bask in the sun, you don't feel that hot at all.
But in Yangcheng, because the air humidity is very high, no matter where you stay, it will feel very hot.
So there is no doubt about the importance of air conditioning.
However, early this morning, Cao Yang did not stay in the air-conditioned room, but waited for Liu Tianwu's arrival at the gate of Nanshan Group with Xia Qingqing and Zhang Jing.
Liu Tianwu is now at the helm of Yangcheng, and he naturally sees the brilliant performance of Honor mobile phones.
So today, I personally brought the personnel of the relevant departments to visit the glory mobile phone.
Doing business is not just about selling products, you also need to consider all aspects of things.
So Liu Tianwu, an old acquaintance, came over, and Cao Yang naturally wanted to receive it in person.
"Mr. Cao, congratulations, this HONOR 2 is so successful."
"I heard that there has been a big traffic jam near the sports center every day these days, and the reason is that too many people are queuing up to buy mobile phones at your Tianhe City flagship store."
Liu Tianwu and Cao Yang have also known each other for many years, so they communicate with each other very casually.
As soon as they met, everyone was not polite, and they started chatting directly.
But this time, there were a lot of people next to him carrying cameras to shoot.
There are people from Yangcheng Propaganda Mouth, and there are also people from Nanshan Group.
"Luckily, it didn't live up to everyone's expectations, and the sales of Honor mobile phones are pretty good."
In front of Liu Tianwu, naturally there is nothing to show off, and it is still necessary to be modest.
After all, this is the style of Chinese people.
Otherwise, you will be too high-profile, and everyone will not be used to it.
"AT THIS PACE, THE SALES OF HONOR 2 SHOULD NOT BE WORSE THAN THE PREVIOUS SALES OF HONOR 3G, RIGHT?"
"NOW THE HONOR 3G HAS DIRECTLY REDUCED THE PRICE BY 1000 YUAN, AND THE SALES VOLUME SHOULD BE BETTER THAN BEFORE."
"In this way, isn't it possible that from next month, the monthly sales of Honor mobile phones can go to more than 3 million?"
Liu Tianwu must attach great importance to the sales of Honor mobile phones, after all, these sales are output value.
Although most of the Honor mobile phones are handed over to BYD OEM, and the factory is not in Yangcheng, the headquarters of Honor mobile phones is in Yangcheng.
Many suppliers of Honor mobile phones are also in Yangcheng.
The most important thing is that Honor Mobile is now constantly recruiting people, and these talents are also a valuable asset for Yangcheng.
Not just any company can afford to support tens of thousands of college students at every turn, and it can also give higher treatment than ordinary enterprises.
For a city, these tens of thousands of college students are actually tens of thousands of families with sufficient spending power.
They buy houses, they buy cars, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation can all drive the economic development of Yangcheng.
The most important thing is that with the rapid development of Honor mobile phones, the scale of employees will continue to grow.
This is something that Liu Tianwu is very much looking forward to.
Besides, Liu Tianwu is now at the helm of Yangcheng, and if he goes further, he will go to Lingnan Province for development.
At that time, what does it matter if the factory of Honor mobile phone is in Yangcheng or Shencheng?
"According to the current pace, the sales of 3 million mobile phones are still worth looking forward to."
"IN ADDITION, HONOR PAD ALSO HOPES TO SELL MORE THAN ONE MILLION UNITS PER MONTH, AND THE SALES OF VARIOUS PRODUCTS OF HONOR MOBILE PHONES CAN GO TO 4 MILLION UNITS PER MONTH."
As soon as Cao Yang said this, Liu Tianwu was completely relieved.
4 million mobile phones and pads worth 2999 yuan to 4999 yuan, this output value is worth looking forward to.
This year, the sales of Xingchen Automobile have increased rapidly, Nanshan Semiconductor has also begun to exert force, and Honor mobile phones have sprung up, and the economic growth of the entire Yangcheng is very worth looking forward to.
This is all his political achievement!
At least in the next few years, there should be no problem for Yangcheng to continue to sit in the first position in the domestic economy.
And this is a very important thing for Liu Tianwu.
"In the past, our mobile phone market in China was mainly occupied by international mobile phone giants such as Nokia and Motorola, and domestic brands could only compete in the low-end field, and even after Nokia and other manufacturers launched low-cost mobile phones, domestic brands in the low-end field have become very difficult."
"Now with your Honor phone, it has completely changed this pattern."
"Mr. Cao, your Honor mobile phone has played a very big role in the development of the domestic mobile phone industry."
Liu Tianwu's words are also very consistent with the facts.
Although even if there is no Honor mobile phone, other domestic brands will slowly rise in the future.
But now no one knows about this.
Everyone only saw that the Honor mobile phone rewrote the domestic pattern.
Judging from sales alone, once the monthly sales reach 4 million products, it is not a problem for Honor mobile phones to surpass Nokia in terms of business scale in Huaxia.
It's definitely a very symbolic thing.
You know, in the past ten years, no one has ever dared to believe that Huaxia's mobile phone manufacturers can surpass Nokia in terms of sales volume or business scale.
But now Honor is about to turn this into a reality.
It's just so rare.
"I'm ashamed, there's still a lot we need to work on."
"Up to now, all the chips of our Honor mobile phones are still imported from abroad."
"In terms of memory, although a small part of it has been domestically produced, the main part continues to be imported."
"There are also many other semiconductor components in mobile phones that need to be imported."
"Even some resistors and capacitors on the circuit board have not yet been fully localized."
"There is still a long way to go before we launch 100% domestic products."
Cao Yang is not entirely modest.
The actual localization rate of Honor mobile phones is indeed still quite far from his requirements.
It will take at least two or three years to get to fruition.
But for Liu Tianwu, this is already very remarkable.
After all, he is not like Cao Yang, who has such a persistent pursuit of 100% localization.
"You also have your own mobile phone factory in Nanshan Industrial Park, right?"
"TODAY I WENT TO SEE HOW THE BEST-SELLING HONOR 2 WAS PRODUCED."
"Let's see if there is anything that needs to be coordinated by Yangcheng, you can just bring it up."
Liu Tianwu came to Nanshan Group today to inspect, in addition to communicating with Cao Yang, visiting the factory of Honor mobile phone is also one of the processes.
Although more than ninety percent of the output of Honor mobile phones is handed over to BYD OEM, its own factory has been maintained.
On the one hand, this is for the convenience of early development, and at the same time, it is also for a certain degree to clamp down on the foundry, so as not to have any resistance at all when everyone turns their faces one day.
Soon, Cao Yang followed Liu Tianwu and his party to visit the factory.
As the self-owned factory of Honor mobile phones, the degree of automation of various devices in it must be very high.
Even continuously improving the degree of equipment automation is something that Nanshan Group has been promoting in the past two years.
Reducing the number of ordinary workers, increasing the number of R&D and technical personnel, and making the entire Nanshan Group a technology-based enterprise are things that Cao Yang has always wanted to do.
Otherwise, even if there are 1 million employees, of which more than 900,000 are workers, it will not be of great significance.
It is better to have only 300,000 employees, but 200,000 are R&D and technical personnel.
The combat effectiveness of such an enterprise is absolutely amazing.
They can double the size of 200,000 people to 400,000 R&D personnel at any time.
It still belongs to the kind of high-tech R&D personnel who are very desperate.
Not to mention in Huaxia, even if it is placed in the world, it is very capable of fighting.
And just after Liu Tianwu inspected the Honor mobile phone and took the initiative to send some preferential support policies, the Honor mobile phone has also made more radical adjustments to the next sales volume.
In July this year, the sales target for mobile phones was set at 3 million units, and the PAD was set at 1 million units.
Then in the fourth quarter of this year, the sales target of mobile phones was directly raised to 4 million units, and the PAD was 1.5 million units per month.
As for next year, this goal will only get higher as overseas branches begin to make efforts.
Of course, that's a story for later.
In the face of this year's goal, BYD, as a foundry, is already a little busy at the moment.
"Mr. Xia, our factory has been continuously recruiting new workers, and all workshops are working in three shifts, and people rest equipment without resting."
"In January, except for one day of equipment testing and maintenance, the rest of the time is overtime to produce mobile phones and PADs."
"At the same time, we are constantly investing in new production lines and building new factories."
"Through various methods, although there is still some gap from the output target set by your company, it is basically achievable."
"And in preparation for a rainy day, we have now begun to prepare for next year's monthly production of 8 million mobile phones and PADs to ensure that we can keep up with the development pace of Honor mobile phones."
Wang Fu personally came to receive Xia Qingqing and his entourage.
Honor mobile phones are selling very well now, and Xia Qingqing is naturally worried that the production capacity will not be able to keep up.
After all, the current plan is even higher than it was at the beginning of the year, when it was the most radical.
THE MARKET RESPONSE OF THE HONOR 2 AND HONOR PADE IS REALLY GOOD.
After the price reduction of 1000 yuan, the HONOR 3G has also become more fragrant.
Today's Honor mobile phone is already an existence that Nokia can't ignore if it wants to.
"Mr. Wang, I am completely confident in BYD's ability."
"But all of a sudden, if you add so many production lines and switch to three shifts, is there no problem with the personnel?"
Although the automation level of the production line is constantly improved, it still requires a lot of manpower to assemble mobile phones.
According to Xia Qingqing's understanding, BYD has more than 10,000 workers in the factory that OEM for Honor mobile phones alone.
Now if we want to expand production, we will have to work three shifts, and then basically the number of workers needed will be doubled.
Although there is no shortage of people in Huaxia, familiar industrial workers are still more popular.
"Mr. Xia, you don't have to worry."
"Our BYD OEM business is relatively extensive, and we can draw some skilled people from other places."
Wang Fu said this, looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Nokia was also our big customer before, but their production this year is constantly decreasing, and it is expected that there will be a further decline from next month, and we will send a group of people from Nokia's foundry to support." ”
Hearing Wang Fu say this, Xia Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not just a matter of pulling a group of workers who don't know anything from the outside to assemble an Honor phone.
Otherwise, if there is a problem with the quality of the mobile phone, it will be very fatal.
You must know that the price of Honor mobile phones is not cheap.
Consumers spend so much money, but they end up buying a problematic phone, and that's the big deal.
Maybe the momentum of the development of the Honor mobile phone will be extinguished directly.
This is something that Xia Qingqing absolutely can't accept.
Fortunately, Wang Fu also knows this truth and will not drop the chain at a critical moment.
"Mr. Wang, now is a critical period for the development of Honor mobile phones, whether this year can be smoothly rushed up, determines the status of Honor mobile phones in China and even the global mobile phone industry in the future."
"We don't want any accidents to happen."
Although he was relieved in his heart, Xia Qingqing felt that he still had to emphasize it.
lest BYD not pay enough attention to it and have an accident.
In this regard, Wang Fu also expressed his understanding.
He even promised that he would personally keep an eye on the business of the Honor mobile phone foundry, and regularly arrange people to report the relevant situation to the Honor mobile phone every day.
Honor mobile phones are now the savior of BYD's OEM business.
Fortunately, there is an OEM business of Honor mobile phones this year, otherwise Nokia's OEM business will fall, and BYD's revenue will plummet.
At that time, the stock price will definitely fall, which is a situation that Wang Fu does not want to see.
……
When the Honor mobile phone is very popular, Huaqiangbei, which has always been known for its keen sense of smell, will naturally have various reactions.
During this time, the newly launched copycat machine of Huaqiang version has basically few traditional feature phones.
The worst is also the first generation of smartphones of the same type as the so-called high-end smartphones of the giants such as Nokia and Motorola.
The better vision is to follow the pace of Honor mobile phones and Apple to develop large-screen smartphones.
HONOR 2's screen size has just reached 4 inches, but there are already copycat machines with a screen size of 4.7 inches in Huaqiangbei.
Even because the screen is too large and the battery is not enough, Huaqiangbei has begun to launch some long-life versions of copycat machines.
Although the thickness of the mobile phone has increased a lot in order to improve battery life, there are still some consumers who like it.
It can only be said that turnip greens, each has its own love.
However, Hu Yingang, who is quite good as a Huaqiangbei gangster, did not focus on his business during this time, but frequently found acquaintances to drink and chat and communicate feelings.
And he also set up a trading company, which is the trading business of electronic and electrical related components.
Obviously, his trading company is prepared for the purpose of getting the chips and motherboards used in smart phones from Nanshan Semiconductor, and then selling them to various copycat manufacturers in Huaqiangbei.
"Cousin, I've transferred all those counters now."
"This time I'm ready to give it a go, and it's up to me to make or break it."
Hu Yingang can be regarded as a small net worth.
Hundreds of millions certainly not.
But if it's tens of millions, you can still make it up.
He wants to become a bridge between Nanshan Semiconductor and Huaqiangbei, and it is definitely not possible to have too little funds.
You can't always ask Nanshan Semiconductor for credit, right?
So this time, he also took the initiative to put down his once arrogant head and borrowed some more money from his cousin.
"Gangzi, if you give it a go and do something else, I definitely won't dare to support it easily."
"But you chose to cooperate with Nanshan Semiconductor this time, I think it is very correct."
"How much money you have left, I can help."
"Even if you don't mind, you can directly count my investment funds in your company."
Guo Shuyin really made his fortune with Nanshan Group.
Now he is full of confidence in Nanshan Group.
After so many years, as long as it is what Nanshan Group wants to do, no matter how difficult it is, it has finally succeeded.
Even the equipment of large five-axis CNC machine tools can be done.
Not to mention the existence of high-end carbon fiber.
The current Nanshan Semiconductor is the focus of the future development of Nanshan Group, which embodies Cao Yang's great efforts.
Guo Shuyin feels that he is still willing to believe that Nanshan Semiconductor can build up the chip industry.
And this also means that the trading company established by Hu Yingang is still very promising.
After all, he still knows what the situation is on Huaqiangbei's side.
In the early years, Hu Yingang did not boast about the story of Huaqiangbei in front of him.
It is said that when the price of Huaqiangbei counter was the most exaggerated, the monthly rent of a good counter went to 300,000, which was incredible.
"Really?"
"Cousin, are you really willing to take a stake in my trading company?"
"You're so confident in me?"
Hu Yingang didn't expect to have an unexpected joy today.
He didn't feel that Guo Shuyin was taking advantage of himself at all.
Desperately investing in this trading company, he bet on Nanshan Semiconductor, and it would be false to say that he had no pressure.
If he borrows money from Guo Shuyin this time, once the business fails, then his former mansion and luxury car will have to be sold to have a chance to pay off his debts.
"I don't have confidence in you, I have confidence in Mr. Cao, Nanshan Group, and Nanshan Semiconductor!"
Guo Shuyin said very politely.
In front of your own people, you must talk about things before cooperating, so as not to cause contradictions in the future.
It is obviously also a very important thing for Hu Yingang to clearly recognize the current situation.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you have faith."
"The first batch of chips and motherboards from Nanshan Semiconductor will be delivered soon."
"Cousin, do you have any good advice?"
Hu Yingang now admires Guo Shuyin.
Yangcheng Huaqiang Group is now a big enterprise.
Its parts business and car dealer business are doing well.
Especially in the past year, the life of the 4S store is very good, and Guo Shuyin's net worth is also increasing rapidly.
"I think when you are doing this motherboard and chip business, you can properly guide it, so that those copycat factories can take the development route of new smart phones."
"In terms of the functions of mobile phones, we can make some interesting innovations on the basis of Apple mobile phones and Honor mobile phones, and combine them with some things in the past."
"For example, integrate some high-pixel cameras to create the concept of a camera phone."
"Another example is the big screen, a big screen phone that is bigger than the screen of any mobile phone."
"Another example is a mobile phone with a long range, which can meet the functions of a smartphone while also being able to stand by for a long time."
"You can also build some so-called music phones, focusing on audio amplifiers."
"In short, you have to make your customer's product have some characteristics of its own, so that their sales can increase quickly."
"Then your trading company's business will get better and better."
ALTHOUGH GUO SHUYIN IS NOT ENGAGED IN MOBILE PHONES, HE IS NOW USING THE LATEST HONOR 2, AND HE STILL KNOWS A LOT ABOUT SMARTPHONES.
In the future, it will definitely be the world of smartphones.
Guo Shuyin is very sure of this.
Otherwise, he would not have boldly invested in Hu Yingang's trading company.
MediaTek has become the world's third largest chip design manufacturer by relying on a "turnkey" chip design solution.
He feels that Nanshan Semiconductor has given a "turnkey" design scheme around smart phones on the basis of MediaTek, and the final market is definitely worth looking forward to.
Huaqiang now has more than 700 mobile phone brands, of which 60% are in Huaqiangbei.
The individual sales of these mobile phone brands are certainly not remarkable at all, but they add up to no less than Nokia.
Therefore, the intermediate component trade business is completely very interesting.
As long as half of the smartphones produced by Huaqiangbei are purchased from their companies for chips and motherboards, the profits of the trading companies will not be less than 100 million yuan in a year.
This business is worth looking forward to.
"You're right, only by making my client's business better, will our trading company's life be better."
"When I went back, I arranged a few people within the company to be responsible for designing various special mobile phone solutions, and when I sold them chips and motherboards, I also gave them these solutions for reference."
Hu Yingang now feels full of energy.
Nanshan Semiconductor's chips are going to be officially supplied to Huaqiangbei.
If Nanshan Semiconductor can achieve the scale of MediaTek, then Hu Yingang feels that he is very close to the position of a billionaire.
"The most important thing is that you have to communicate more with Nanshan Semiconductor, and it would be better if you could connect with the Honor mobile phone."
"Listen to their advice, and even follow the plan they give you some guidance."
"Maybe there's something unexpected at the end."
Guo Shuyin must hope that Hu Yingang's relationship with Nanshan Group will be as close as possible.
Over the years, Nanshan Group has never cheated its teammates, and is a trustworthy customer and supplier.
Guo Shuyin didn't think that Hu Yingang had anything worth pitting in the Nanshan Semiconductor District.
"Don't worry, I know where I am!
"I will do what Nanshan Group wants me to do!"
"Nanshan Group eats meat, and I am very satisfied with a sip of soup!"
