Insufficient production capacity has always been a problem for mobile phone manufacturers, which is mainly restricted by many aspects, such as technology, market, etc.
Except for Apple phones, no one knows how the sales of other mobile phone manufacturers’ new phones will be before they are released.
Just like except for a few platinum masters, other Internet article authors don't know what kind of results they will get before they start a book.
Therefore, mobile phone manufacturers dare not prepare too much inventory.
Just like now, because the price is too high, Wu Siyuan is not sure what kind of sales this first [Dasheng brand mobile phone] will have.
However, he does know that the chip shortage will become more and more serious in the coming time.
A chip worth more than 20 yuan has even been hyped to 200 yuan.
The 28nm that [Monkey Mobile] needs is not so hyped, but there is no problem in having a little extra stock.
After Wu Siyuan thought for a moment, he agreed to Yao Dong's suggestion and ordered an additional 10 million chips from SMIC.
Then Wu Siyuan asked about the [Gao Tom] chip.
Yao Dong replied, "Director Wu, [Gao Tom] is willing to supply us with its most advanced Snapdragon chips, but the price will be 30% higher than the price of rice, and it also has several conditions.
."
"What conditions?" Wu Siyuan said calmly.
Yao Dong said, "The first condition is that the minimum order quantity is 10 million pieces."
Good guy, [Gao Min] after the release of Snapdragon 865 last year, the price was once as high as $100. If you add the baseband chip, the cost of the 5G mobile phone based on the Snapdragon 865 chip will be close to $200, which is RMB
1300 yuan.
This does not include the so-called [high tax]!
What is [high tax]?
[High tax] refers to Qualcomm using its large number of patents in communications to sell its own chip packages while requiring major manufacturers to pay 5% of the price of the entire machine.
[Gao Tom] It is a one-size-fits-all industry. Mobile phone manufacturers need to use chips, equipment manufacturers need to use patents, and operators need to purchase equipment. [Gao Tom] all charge fees. [Gao Tom] There are many patents, from 3G, 4G to
5G is difficult to leapfrog.
Even if it’s a [Monkey King mobile phone], you still have to pay tax to [Gao Tom], regardless of whether it uses his Snapdragon chip or not.
The more expensive it is and the more it is sold, the more taxes it pays to [Gao Tom].
It’s really easy to make money while lying down!
[Gaomin]'s chips are also unique, and Snapdragon chips are considered the most advanced mobile phone chips.
Many mobile phone manufacturers use Snapdragon chips in their flagship phones as a selling point of their phones. Even mobile phone manufacturers like rice have repeatedly delayed sales because of Snapdragon chips... and if you use Snapdragon chips, then you
You have to pay double [high tax].
It is true that Da Mi said that his hardware profit is less than 5%.
Of course, people don’t solely rely on hardware to make money.
Hardware is just a means of attracting traffic.
However, being harvested hard by [Gao Tom] and not making much money from hardware is also a big reason.
[High Tom] Playing so hard.
Many companies were opposed to it, so [Gaom] has been engaged in legal battles with various companies all year round. The more famous ones are the lawsuits between [Gaom] and Apple, [Gaom] and [Warwick], but in the end they still reached an agreement obediently, and Apple
US$4.5 billion, Warwick US$1.8 billion.
So no need to ask, any mobile phone we take now has taxes paid to others.
Unless it is a mobile phone from the Nokia era, [Gao Tom] does not have many patents in the 2G era.

"Ten million? Even if they are all Snapdragon 865, it still costs..." Wu Siyuan said softly.
"At least 13 billion yuan, and we need to pay first." Yao Dong said.
"What a great appetite." Wu Siyuan sneered, "If you have any other conditions, keep talking."
"The second condition is that because of their agreement with [Rice], our supply priority is lower. They can only supply us a small amount of chips every month. After production capacity is restored, they will supply us in large quantities."
Yao Dong said with an ugly face.
"Mr. Yao, can you express the second condition of [Gao Tom] in simpler words?" Wu Siyuan said expressionlessly. This was the most obvious expression.
"Okay." Yao Dong nodded, "[Gao Tom] means that after we pay the money, we will be asked to wait!"
"Haha..." Wu Siyuan shook his head and smiled, "[Gao Tom] What other conditions are there? Tell them all."
"In addition, once the contract is signed and force majeure occurs, [Gao Tom] will not refund the money. Unless our group can solve this force majeure, they will continue to supply us." Yao Dong said.
"This sentence was said casually by the representative of [Gao Tom]. I can only say, [Gao Tom] is really a group of uncles!" Yao Dong said, losing his grace a little.
The famous bully in the industry [Gao Tom] is indeed well-deserved.
Yao Dong really doesn’t know how he endures the repeated harvesting of rice. Is it because [Gao Tom] invested in rice?
Wu Siyuan smiled. Yao Dong thought that [Gao Tom] represented the force majeure factor mentioned at the end. He said it casually. Only he and [Four-Armed King Kong] knew that this was [Gao Tom] and the group of people behind [Gao Tom].
the real purpose.
13 billion!
It can be swallowed up by an irresistible factor.
Are you planning to bully [Chaoqun Group] because they have no experience and knowledge in this industry, so you can only let them manipulate it?
But think about it.
[Honor] has now separated from [Warwick], and there is no Kirin chip from [Warwick]. If [Honor mobile phone] still wants to continue production and consumers want to acknowledge it, then in this case, [Gao Tom]
The Snapdragon chip is one of its only two choices, the other choice is [MediaTek].
But [MediaTek]’s chips are not advanced enough [High Tom].
[Gao Tom] is convinced of [Chaoqun Group] and believes that [Chaoqun Group] will come back after being devoured 13 billion yuan.
Because they believe that [Chaoqun Group] is unwilling to directly give up the [Honor Industry Chain] acquired for 100 billion yuan.
Under normal circumstances, there is no problem with the judgment of [High Tom].
But who is called [Super Group]? There is a boss with a golden finger. He knew their conspiracy from the beginning, and neither of them planned to use the other party's chips.
What we are doing now is nothing more than a cover-up to delay time.
There was a trace of ridicule in Wu Siyuan's eyes, and he said to Yao Dong, "Continue to let the people from the Ministry of Commerce work with [Gao Tom] and continue to negotiate terms with them. Anyway, we are never in a hurry. The point is that we [Great Sage·Shoot]
We must continue to make good preparations for Chongdou Mansion, but of course, we must pay attention to confidentiality."
"Okay!" Yao Dong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and squinted his eyes, "I really want to see their reaction after knowing the truth. It will be very exciting when they know that they have been dumped."
