[Nanshan Semiconductor and Honor Mobile Phone Defendants]

[Honor mobile phones are prohibited from being sold in the American market]

[Qualcomm seeks $1.5 billion in compensation for Honor mobile phones]

[Nanshan Semiconductor infringes Qualcomm's patents]

……

As soon as many Chinese people go to work, turn on their computers or smartphones, and take a casual look at the news, they will find that these things have quickly appeared on the hot search.

Different people naturally have different reactions to this news.

As the exclusive foundry of Honor mobile phones, BYD is also very concerned about this matter.

"Mr. Cao, there are so many things that the United States has done at once, I think there should be a conspiracy here."

Wang Fu personally called Cao Yang to communicate about this matter.

On the one hand, it must be an expression of concern for Nanshan Group.

On the other hand, I also want to further understand the actual impact of this matter on Nanshan Group.

After all, BYD is now making relevant OEM preparations for the monthly sales of 10 million mobile phones for Honor mobile phones.

"Whenever the technology of Chinese enterprises makes progress, those foreign giants will have all kinds of actions."

"When we bought a shield machine from Germany, they sold it for hundreds of millions of yuan."

"When some companies in China broke through the shield machine technology, the price in Germany immediately dropped."

"In the past, when we couldn't produce large-scale five-axis CNC machine tools ourselves, we spent 100 million to find someone to buy, and no one sold them."

"Now it can be bought for tens of millions, and people still take the initiative to come to the door to sell."

"The CNC system of the machine tool is also like this, and there are many other cases."

"Even some products that are prohibited from being sold, after our company has mastered the relevant technology, the ban disappears."

"Chips have always been the bottleneck of China, and the current import amount has actually exceeded the import of crude oil."

"Today, Nanshan Semiconductor not only quickly catches up with the international mainstream chip technology, but also can produce its own equipment."

"This must have touched the core interests of those chip giants."

"So it's normal for people to come up with all sorts of intrigues."

Cao Yang's indifferent attitude made Wang Fu breathe a sigh of relief.

At least this matter should still be controllable, so as not to make Nanshan Group scramble.

"That's true, I was born into technology myself."

"Before BYD produced lithium batteries, a lithium battery used in a mobile phone cost hundreds of yuan."

"And when we were able to produce it, the price dropped dramatically."

"Chips are a more sensitive field than lithium batteries, and Qualcomm companies can have such high profits every year because of their technological advantages."

"If this advantage is broken by the Nanshan Group, they will not have a good life in the future."

"However, this time the methods they used were still very vicious."

"There are a lot of influential people standing behind those giants, and they are likely to really make it impossible for Honor phones to be sold in the United States."

Wang Fu is obviously most concerned about the situation of Honor mobile phones.

After all, BYD is now the closest relationship with Honor mobile phones.

"This is indeed a problem, and it is likely that Honor mobile phones will be difficult to sell in the United States in the future."

"However, at present, sales in the United States account for less than 5% of our overall sales, which is basically negligible."

At this moment, Cao Yang is a little glad that the sales of Xingchen Automobile in the United States are entrusted to Ford Motor.

If Nanshan Group does it itself, it is likely that a lot of things will be done at that time.

That loss may be huge.

"That's right, the main sales of Honor mobile phones are now in China."

"However, the United States' approach will more or less affect the expansion of Honor's mobile phone business overseas."

"I think we still need to pay attention to it."

"In the future, as long as Nanshan Semiconductor can produce the chips used by BYD Group, we will let Nanshan Semiconductor produce them."

"BYD Nanshan Semiconductor, which is cooperating with both sides, can also further develop and grow."

Having said so much, Wang Fu must also express his support.

How else is there any sincerity?

At present, the number of employees in BYD's foundry has exceeded 50,000.

There are many people in this who exist because of the OEM of Honor mobile phones.

Now that Nokia has fallen, if the Honor mobile phone also falls, then BYD's foundry business must be greatly damaged.

This is an unacceptable result for Wang Fu.

"Thank you Mr. Wang for your support."

"Nanshan Group's support for the semiconductor business will not stop because of various restrictions in the United States."

"On the contrary, we will invest more manpower and material resources in the development of semiconductor technology."

"Now we are just catching up with the international advanced level, and we will slowly lead the international level in the next step."

"When the time comes, even if they want to choke us in the neck, there is nothing they can do."

"They will even come to us in turn to seek cooperation."

Cao Yang is also relatively clear about the practices of those capitalists in the United States.

When you can't, you must be trying to find a way to get your wool.

When you do it, the attitude is immediately different.

And once you're more skilled, start looking for ways to pull you to the table, and everyone will discuss playing the cards together.

"In recent years, Nanshan Equipment has continuously invested a lot of money in chip production equipment and other various equipment, and now it seems that it is indeed very necessary."

"Mr. Cao, some of the equipment in our battery production line was also imported from Dongying and the United States, and I will arrange someone to communicate with Nanshan Equipment to see if we are looking for some cooperation opportunities."

Although the competitive relationship between BYD Battery and Nanshan Battery is also quite obvious, the relationship between BYD and Nanshan Group is more about cooperation in addition to competition.

The battery processing equipment of Nanshan Equipment is more advanced and cheaper, and Wang Fu is still willing to purchase from Nanshan Group in this case.

"There will definitely be opportunities for cooperation."

"All the products of Nanshan equipment are open to domestic manufacturers, even the equipment in mass production and use of Nanshan battery is no exception."

Cao Yang wants to make Nanshan equipment bigger and stronger.

In this case, you must not cherish yourself, otherwise other companies will have a lot of jealousy in their hearts.

After all, no one wants to be completely stuck by Nanshan equipment one day.

This kind of thing is not impossible to happen.

ended the call with Wang Fu, and Cao Yang's phone call did not stop for a quarter of an hour.

Many domestic partners have called to care about this issue.

Even at a press conference held by the Imperial Court, the spokesman expressed Huaxia's support for the Nanshan Group on this matter.

I hope that the United States can provide a fair and just business environment for all companies.

However, in the face of absolute interests, the actions of those people in the United States will never stop.

Soon, the case in which Nanshan Semiconductor had to sell its stake in Nvidia was decided.

"Mr. Cao, there are already investment institutions on Wall Street that have contacted us."

"They are willing to buy all the shares at the price that Nanshan Semiconductor previously acquired from Nvidia."

"I know this condition is certainly unreasonable, but some people's tactics may be more underground, and it may be a more appropriate option to sell their shares before they run out of useful and inferior means."

Huang Jiansheng, as the CEO of NVIDIA, naturally wanted to call Cao Yang to communicate at this time.

In recent years, his position at Nvidia has not been challenged too much.

In addition to arranging some personnel to enter the core technical positions, and then these people are now jumping to Nanshan Semiconductor one after another, he does not feel that the company has suffered any losses.

Even because of the acquisition of Nanshan Semiconductor, Nvidia easily survived the financial crisis.

Today's stock price has risen several times compared to the original.

Of course, this also means that Wall Street investment institutions have easily snatched billions of dollars from Nanshan Semiconductor just by relying on these means.

After all, if Nvidia is sold at the normal price, that price can definitely go to three or five billion dollars.

"Mr. Huang, are you interested in joining Nanshan Semiconductor?"

Although he knew that the probability was very low, Cao Yang was still ready to give it a try.

If you can hollow out all the technical talents of Nvidia, then even if you give Nvidia shares to Wall Street for free, then what?

However, it is clear that the feasibility of this option is low.

If it is infighting between American companies, then this kind of operation is still possible.

Now that it's a battle between Wall Street and Chinese Corporations, it's a different story.

"Mr. Cao, I'm very sorry, my family is here, and I'm used to life here."

Huang Jiansheng very tactfully rejected Cao Yang's invitation.

However, he immediately said: "The technical staff who were arranged by Nanshan Semiconductor to enter Nvidia before, as long as they are willing, they can leave immediately." ”

"The company can provide them with liquidated damages in accordance with the normal dismissal plan."

Huang Jiansheng did this, which can be regarded as a return of favor to Nanshan Semiconductor.

However, compared to the potential loss, this favor is not worth much.

Of course, Cao Yang also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Huang Jiansheng.

In essence, it is determined by the hegemony and strength of the United States.

"Mr. Huang, I will arrange someone to communicate with you, and further discuss the relevant details with potential investors at that time."

"I hope that in the future, we can still have some cooperation in technology."

Some struggles are pointless, and Cao Yang knows that none of the parties in the United States will allow Nanshan Semiconductor to continue to hold Nvidia.

So what should be sold, be sold.

However, in the past few years, many of NVIDIA's technologies have been mastered by Nanshan Semiconductor.

Although it is sold now, it is not a loss for Nanshan Semiconductor.

It's just that I didn't earn that much.

After ending the call with Huang Jiansheng, Cao Yang Li immediately called Zhang Jing over.

"Mr. Zhang, Nanshan Semiconductor immediately set up a department to be responsible for the development of GPU-related parts originally researched by NVIDIA."

"We don't have to be polite to use the patents that NVIDIA authorized to Nanshan Semiconductor before, just use them directly."

How bright the future of Nvidia is, Cao Yang naturally knows.

This part of the market, Nanshan Semiconductor will definitely not miss it.

After the acquisition of NVIDIA, Cao Yang naturally did not do nothing.

All of NVIDIA's patents have been licensed to Nanshan Semiconductor for use at a more appropriate price.

Even some contracts signed by the two parties also give relatively high conditions for breach of contract.

So if Nvidia cancels the authorization later, the liquidated damages will be a sky-high figure.

The most important thing is that there are also some bugs deliberately left in the contract, even if Nvidia really loses money and breaches the contract, Nanshan Semiconductor also has some clauses that can be tossed.

It can be said that this can be regarded as Cao Yang's backhand left in advance.

After all, he also knows that if Nvidia really becomes one of the top chip companies in the United States, it is absolutely impossible for Huaxia Company to control it.

"Mr. Cao, the United States is too unethical in doing things, right?"

"We didn't do anything wrong, but that's what we did."

Zhang Jing also knew why Cao Yang arranged for him to do those actions.

Obviously, the situation on the American side has reached the point where the Nanshan Group cannot change it.

Otherwise, Cao Yang would not have arranged it like this.

Zhang Jing is very clear about the changes in the market value of NVIDIA, and now he is forced to sell it cheaply, and the loss is definitely very large.

Although Cao Yang has also used a lot of means to prevent similar things from happening in advance, it is difficult to completely avoid losses no matter how they prevent it.

"Americans only tell you when they want to talk about business ethics."

"If the rules are good for them, they follow them. Rules don't do them any good, they don't follow them. ”

"As for whether we've done anything wrong? In their opinion, there is naturally that. ”

"We have broken their monopoly on high-end chip technology, and broken the monopoly of ASML and other manufacturers on chip production equipment."

"It's going to affect their earnings, so there's today's results."

Although Cao Yang was also very unhappy in his heart, he was thinking about how to retaliate.

But at this time, it is obviously meaningless to blindly lose your temper.

The more senior you are, the more important your emotional control skills are sometimes.

"This is definitely a very bad start, and the Lifan Yuan has spoken out, and it's useless."

"I think we still need to communicate this matter with the relevant departments and remind them that similar things or more excessive things may happen in the future."

"I hope that relevant departments can introduce more policies to support the development of the domestic semiconductor industry."

"We are already the second largest economy in the world, and in this case, if chips are still imported in large quantities, it will definitely be very unfavorable for industrial development."

Zhang Jing felt that this matter must not be settled like this.

That's so sorry for myself and the company.

He is now an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his influence is not small.

In the past, he has understood the relevant influence in industrial software, and naturally hopes to further exert this influence in the future.

"This is naturally possible, and I believe that other domestic manufacturers will also be concerned when they see this situation."

"At that time, our chips should have the opportunity to be further promoted to many customers."

"At the same time, the chip processing equipment of Nanshan Equipment should also be adopted by more customers."

"In a way, that's not necessarily a bad thing."

"If the United States doesn't force us, maybe the development of the domestic semiconductor industry will not be able to accelerate."

"Now that such a toss, it is estimated that many aspiring manufacturers will begin to be vigilant in their hearts."

Cao Yang's words were not simply to comfort himself.

It's 2011, and much of the international situation has not officially deteriorated.

While there is still time, everyone should develop some bottleneck things, and maybe the final harvest will be greater.

So although Nanshan Semiconductor was forced to sell Nvidia, it cannot be simply understood as a huge failure.

As if to confirm Cao Yang's statement, when the news that Nanshan Semiconductor was forced to sell Nvidia spread, Huawei first reacted.

Xu Jun once again came to Nanshan Group in person to talk with Cao Yang and Zhang Jing.

"Mr. Cao, in the future, all chips of Huawei HiSilicon will be handed over to Nanshan Semiconductor for foundry."

"Then we also hope that the two sides can expand cooperation in wafer factories and chip processing, packaging and testing factories."

Xu Jun exchanged pleasantries with Cao Yang for a while, and then entered the topic.

As the most powerful communication company in China, Warwick has developed very quickly overseas in recent years, and it has beaten its competitors very hard.

And Huawei has not only accumulated a lot of related patented technologies in 3G and 4G, but also invested a large number of personnel in 5G to start technology research and development.

At that time, the conflict with international giants will definitely become bigger and bigger, and it will continue to stimulate the nerves of many people.

Therefore, there was also a discussion within Warwick, and I felt that this matter needed to be taken seriously.

The problems that Nanshan Group is encountering now are likely to be the problems that Huawei will encounter tomorrow.

"Thank you Mr. Xu for your support, Warwick's market share in the field of communications is constantly increasing, and I think sooner or later the United States will feel that it can't bear your development."

"So it's likely that various measures such as cutting off supply and banning market entry will be used."

"Even some of the more extreme things can happen."

For Warwick's support, Cao Yang naturally reciprocated, and was ready to remind Warwick in advance and make some preparations to deal with it.

However, if the chip problem is solved, then there will be a lot less places for Huawei to be stuck in the neck.

Many of these problems may also be less impactful than those of the same period in history.

"It's true, those big enterprises in the West, who have enjoyed the dividends of technological superiority for so many years, can't stand it now just a little bit of influence, and directly flip the table."

"This incident has brought us a very big impact, and when dealing with these people in the future, we need to be fully vigilant against all kinds of things."

Within Warwick, it has always been on the basis of benchmarking international giants to carry out various internal processes and technology changes.

In his opinion, the spirit of contract is very important.

But now he has discovered that the purpose of the contract is actually to be destroyed.

Especially for the strong, the contract is not binding at all.

This is simply a constraint on the weak.

"Take precautions, I think Warwick also needs to rehearse how to deal with it in case of similar sanctions or if you are not allowed to use some software, chip patents and the like."

"These things may seem like they're far away, but maybe they're going to happen in the future."

Cao Yang continues to emphasize this point.

This made Xu Jun pay more attention.

Arrange for someone to discuss it, and then discuss what to do.

It seems that this matter really needs to be put on the agenda.

……

In the past few days, the Huaxia Internet has been very lively, and the fact that Nanshan Semiconductor was forced to sell Nvidia at a low price was also exposed on the Internet.

At the same time, the matter of Honor mobile phone officially suing Apple mobile phone has also been on the hot search.

As for Apple's use of various means to jam Honor mobile phones in the United States, there are various reports on the Internet about whether it is true or false.

Zeng Tingting's marketing account that she arranged to raise before is also full of efforts this time.

Apple's reputation is much worse in China.

Originally, the iPhone4S was not as good as the HONOR 3, but now this kind of thing has happened, and the sales of Apple's mobile phones have immediately fallen sharply.

After all, the world is no longer the time for Apple's mobile phone to kill all sides.

Honor mobile phones have taken the lead all the way, which has seriously affected Apple's development.

"Mr. Wang, Nanshan Group has the title of 'Nanshan Pizza Hut', and we are likely to lose the appearance infringement case this time."

Lin Rong was very worried and expressed her concerns.

As the sales director of Apple Huaxia, she is responsible for the sales of Apple's mobile phones.

If the entire smartphone market is thriving, and Apple's mobile phone sales in China plummet, then her position under her ass will also be unstable.

Even if the company doesn't fire her, it will affect her bonus.

You must know that many European and American companies attach great importance to performance results, unlike Dongying enterprises and Chinese state-owned enterprises, which like to eat big pot rice.

"We didn't copy the appearance of the Honor phone, at most we borrowed some design elements."

"So even if the case is lost, the sentence will not be very serious."

"We can prolong the trial of this case by making a number of cases."

"At least until our iPhone 5 goes on the market, there will be no product ban."

"On the contrary, the unfavorable remarks on the Internet will more directly affect mobile phone sales."

Wang Ziming is obviously not very worried about the failure of the lawsuit, this has been discussed internally when the Apple mobile phone was launched, and he just needs to respond step by step according to the response method discussed at the beginning.

But now that sales have declined directly, how to recover this situation is even more worrying to him.

"We didn't advertise before, so the relationship with various media was not good."

"I think it is possible to apply for a batch of special publicity expenses with the headquarters to deal with the current situation?"

A lot of times, many things need to be solved by spending money.

This time the Internet public opinion offensive, if Apple's mobile phone has prepared enough funds, it can obviously be alleviated.

Lin Rong is also clear about this.

That's why she came to Wang Ziming to apply for funding.

"This time the situation is a little different, and the headquarters should be able to agree to the budget."

"You get in touch with some advertising agencies and get them to do it first."

Wang Ziming thought about it and quickly agreed to Lin Rong's proposal.

The sharp drop in Apple's mobile phone sales has reached a point where he can't ignore it.
