Chapter 652

"In fact, I have done a lot of things these days. I have invested and established a chip fund with my personal funds, which is intended to invest in the chip industry.

In addition, I am acquiring the shares of SMIC international. In a few days, Qualcomm will sign a contract for Xiaolong 410 chip with SMIC international. I believe that in the future, SMIC international and domestic chip industry will usher in an opportunity for rapid development, "Fang zhe said in a flat tone.

Mr. Lei was stunned. When he grew up, Fang zhe was Fang Zhe. It wasn't much. There were so many big moves.

Investment in chip funds? Don't think about it. Mr. Lei also knows the scale of this fund. I'm afraid it's frightening.

Acquiring SMIC shares? According to Fang Zhe's tone, this matter should be advancing steadily.

Qualcomm handed over the OEM order of Xiaolong 410 to SMIC? Fang zhe said that the clouds are light and the wind is light, but without Fang Zhe's credit here, Lei always doesn't believe half a word.

That's the order of Xiaolong 410. As the leader of Xiaomi, he naturally knows Xiaolong chips like the back of his hand. Xiaolong 410 is a chip specially designed by Qualcomm for low-end smart phones with hundreds of yuan.

Now, several major domestic mobile phone brands, including Xiaomi's new generation Hongmi, ZTE, Huawei, vivo, oppo and HTC, which will be launched next year, and low-end mobile phones, which will be launched next year by foreign mobile phone brands such as Motorola, have been designed to carry the chip of Xiaolong 410, and Qualcomm has also sent the relevant technical parameters and samples of Xiaolong 410 early, It was sent to several major mobile phone manufacturers for testing.

In other words, according to the preliminary estimation, the order quantity of Xiaolong 410 is at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. If such a large order quantity is handed over to SMIC for production, it will be the first large-scale production of commercial chips that closely follow the market demand by SMIC and the chip manufacturers in the whole mainland, which is of great significance to SMIC and the chip industry in the whole mainland, It goes without saying.

President Lei really wants to understand what magic Fang zhe used to let Qualcomm hand over the OEM order of Xiaolong 410 to SMIC. You know, in the past, Qualcomm didn't look at this domestic chip foundry at all.

"Qualcomm?" Mr. Lei stopped. Fang zhe understood what he wanted to ask and explained:

"Like several mobile phone manufacturers in China, you are a fan of the situation. On the contrary, I am a bystander. Qualcomm has been horizontal in the world for so many years. In the past two years, China has promoted 4G construction. It still holds our lifeline like the 3G era. Now when I check it, its paper tiger shows its advice. I pretend to be a tiger, and it naturally panics What you say is what you say.

In addition, Qualcomm also wants to ease the relationship with the above. SMIC's gift looks great, but it's nothing to Qualcomm. If SMIC can always get Qualcomm's orders in the future, it's really capable. Now, it's just because of the situation. "

After listening to Fang Zhe's explanation, President Lei also understood that this matter was not as complicated as he thought, but he and Xiaomi had been held by Qualcomm for a long time. In his heart, he had virtually regarded Qualcomm as a tall and unattainable object.

Fang Zhe is right. He and several major domestic mobile phone manufacturers do have too much respect and even fear for Qualcomm.

However, what can be done? This is the case in the mobile phone chip industry. Who can we count on except Qualcomm and MediaTek? Huawei Kirin series? Not to mention whether Huawei is willing to sell to several of its competitors, Lei and Xiaomi don't want to buy Huawei's chips!

This is not only about face and money, but also about enterprise competition. If Qualcomm gets stuck in the neck of the chip, the risk probability of Xiaomi is 50%, then if Huawei gets stuck in the neck of the chip, the risk of Xiaomi goes straight to 100%!

The competition between domestic mobile phone manufacturers is so realistic!

However, if Fang zhe can make chips and keep up with the era of mobile phone chips, the relationship between Xiaomi and Fang Zhe is simply better. Suddenly, President Lei has great expectations for each other's Zhe to make chips.

Unfortunately, Mr. Lei's expectation is doomed to fail. Fang zhe only intends to support the chip industry, but he never thought that he would specialize in making mobile phone chips. At least for now, he doesn't have this idea. At present, the first priority is to build the whole domestic chip industry. The industry can't get up. Even if he wants to make good chips, he can only sigh.

"Fang Zhe, do it well. I believe you. When you make the chip in the future, we Xiaomi will be your first customer." President Lei said with expectation.

Fang zhe nodded, but he didn't know that there was some deviation in general Lei's mind. Fang zhe said:

"I'm here to get you and several major domestic mobile phone manufacturers to reach an offensive and defensive alliance on the chip, just like the Huichuang patent alliance we jointly established before, so that you can strive for the greatest interests in the face of chip design or OEM manufacturers such as Qualcomm, MediaTek and TSMC.

Now you are fighting on your own. No matter in the face of design manufacturers or manufacturers, some Snipes and mussels compete and are taken advantage of by others in vain. "

"Establish offensive and defensive alliances with several major domestic mobile phone manufacturers?" Mr. Lei thought about Fang Zhe's proposal.

The success of Huichuang patent alliance has made Xiaomi and several major mobile phone manufacturers taste the sweetness, but the mobile phone chip is one of the most important selling points of various mobile phone manufacturers. Most of the time, in order to win the right to launch the chip, Xiaomi and people from several major manufacturers compete to visit Qualcomm, and they don't know how much benefit they have given to Qualcomm's people.

If several major manufacturers can agree to compromise on the chip, it can indeed help them have more voice in front of Qualcomm. However, are other manufacturers willing to give up the chip as the core selling point of mobile phones?

Mr. Lei thought for a long time and felt that it was impossible. If the selling point of the chip was ignored, what else could be said about the new generation of mobile phones of various manufacturers? Let alone that other manufacturers were unwilling to give up this selling point, even if they were Xiaomi.

"Ah Zhe, your idea is very good, but you must also understand the importance of chips to our launch of a new generation of mobile phones. Let alone other mobile phone manufacturers, even Xiaomi doesn't want to give up this selling point." Mr. Lei thought about it.

Fang zhe smiled and said:

"It's not enough to give up. My idea is that I hope all of you can dilute the publicity of chips. Anyway, every year, no matter which manufacturer sends first and then sends, Qualcomm's new generation chips can be used in the end.

Qualcomm has never thought about signing an exclusive chip agreement with any of your manufacturers. You are making a big fuss for the right to launch. It's Qualcomm that is cheap. "
