Chen Xiao's eyes were filled with light, and Gao Miao had no way of understanding Chen Xiao's current mood.
Chen Xiao quickly took Gao Miao to line up at the mobile phone store.
Although this is not an Apple directly-operated store, it still sells genuine Apple mobile phones.
Because Apple is a closed system, the hardware used is very good even in this era.
Even if other copycat companies try their best to make pirated mobile phones, they can only make the appearance the same, but the internal things cannot be made at all.
Therefore, Chen Xiao believes that the mobile phones sold here will definitely not be copycats.
There are many people queuing up, which fully shows that there are still many wealthy people in Shanghai.
The sales price of iPhone 2G in the United States is 499 yuan for the 4G version and 599 yuan for the 8G version, which is equivalent to more than 4,000 to 5,000 RMB. This price was relatively expensive in the mobile phone industry in 2007.
After all, the sales price of Nokia's most expensive flagship phone is only over 6,000.
But after the mobile phone came to Xia Kingdom, its value skyrocketed, with the selling price ranging from 6,000 to 8,000.
Fortunately, the iPhone 2G is not particularly popular at this time. When the iPhone 3G is launched next year, the price in the hands of scalpers will soar to more than 10,000 yuan. In the era of iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, people will even cut off their kidneys to buy the mobile phone.
Dude, the first machine emperor now possesses godhead.
Because the iPhone 2G did not obtain a sales license from Xia Guo, all Apple phones sold now are imported through illegal means, which is commonly known as parallel imports.
At the same time, because he did not obtain a mobile phone sales license, there was no way to get Xia Guo's mobile phone card, let alone make calls and send text messages.
However, places that sell mobile phones have provided consumers with card sticker services, so that locked parallel imports can be turned into unlocked phones that can be installed with Xiaguo mobile phone cards.
Only consumers in Shanghai and Yanjing who can boldly accept external things will buy such an iPhone.
Chen Xiao spent more than 13,000 yuan to buy two mobile phones. As expected, the mobile phones in his hands were all unpacked parallel imports.
And the card sticker was changed in two days.
Chen Xiao handed one to Gao Miao. After Gao Miao installed his mobile phone card, he briefly experienced it under Chen Xiao's guidance.
The entire mobile phone experience amazed her and subverted her understanding of the entire mobile phone.
Chen Xiao looked a little funny when he saw Gao Miao like this.
But iPhone 2G is not very useful for Chen Xiao. It just allows Chen Xiao to find some of the feelings of using a smartphone before he was reborn.
However, Chen Xiao would feel that this kind of phone is very laggy and the screen resolution is a headache.
Chen Xiao doesn't plan to use this phone, just keep it as a souvenir.
Chen Xiao looked at the Nokia sales point next door. The Nokia sales point was still crowded with people.
When Apple sells for more than 4,000 to 6,000 yuan, the N95, Nokia's global flagship mobile phone in 2007, which was just launched in Xiaguo less than half a year ago, can sell for more than 6,000 yuan.
Perhaps Nokia itself did not know at this time that it was already at its peak, but when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose money. The peak means death...
After staying in Shanghai for one night, Gao Miao returned to Changzezhou.
Because in Changtian Technology’s plan, Changtian Technology’s lithium batteries will achieve large-scale mass production.
Gao Miao vaguely felt that Chen Xiao's lithium battery mass production plan was to lay the foundation for the mobile phone business.
However, after the cooperation with Nokia hit a bottleneck, Changtian Technology's lithium battery sales actually had a certain impact.
Lithium battery factories in Jiangzhou City and Dongguan near Shenzhen City are currently only half-operational.
In addition to the decrease in orders from Nokia, the market for Shenship Ark Star notebook computers is also becoming saturated.
It stands to reason that under this situation, the company's strategy should be to reduce the production lines of the lithium battery factory and reduce production.
Chen Xiao did the opposite. Of course Gao Miao thought the boss had made a big move.
Chen Xiao did not return to Changzezhou, but stayed in Shanghai and went to Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.
Since the development of the 65nm process Pangu-3 chip, Yanjiang Semiconductor Company has been busy with people.
Seeing Chen Xiao coming, Zhang Jing quickly put down his work and went to the door of the company to greet him.
Chen Xiao looked at some of the decorations and furnishings of Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.
Compared with other technology companies in the Shanghai stock market, it is indeed far behind, and even lags behind.
But this also illustrates a problem.
Zhang Jing invested all his money and energy into the research and development and production of chips. Unlike some technology companies, which decorated the company to be extremely luxurious, there was actually no core connotation at all.
"How?" Chen Xiao asked.
Zhang Jing said: "We have stocked up a lot of goods!"
"Not to mention, the Core 2 chips are really powerful! In addition to Shenship, Dell and other companies have stopped purchasing our Pangu 1 and 2 chips."
"But this is good, as it allows us to devote more production lines to the production of Pangu 3 chips."
Zhang Jing also said mysteriously: "As soon as the Core 2 chip was released, we immediately arranged for staff to buy a Lianxiang Core 2 computer for testing."
Zhang Jing handed the test report to Chen Xiao.
The test report is divided into two parts.
The first part is to directly use Lianxiang's computer for performance testing.
The second part is to remove the Core chip and test the chip.
"guess what?"
Zhang Jing only spoke half of what he said, leaving Chen Xiao with a suspense afterwards.
Chen Xiao smiled and did not eagerly ask Zhang Jing for an answer.
He flipped through the test report in detail.
The result made Chen Xiao feel a little relieved.
It is also made using a 65nm process, and the Core was released earlier than Changtian Technology’s Pangu 3 chip, but the performance was not as good as expected.
But if you look at the chip capabilities alone, the Pangu 3 chip is about 1.5 times more powerful than the current most advanced series of Core 2 chips.
There are two fundamental reasons for this phenomenon.
One is that the architecture of the Pangu 3 chip is completely different from Intel's Core 2. Although its instruction logic and circuit-level micro-architecture are still based on those from the West, after Chen Xiao's improvement, the overall architecture is more advanced.
.
The second one is the Pangu 3 chip, which uses carbon crystal cache.
This greatly improves the chip's data reading and storage capabilities.
If we look at the synergy capabilities of chips and computers.
So when the Pangu 3 chip is used in conjunction with a computer, the computer's comprehensive capabilities are more than three times that of a Core 2 chip computer.
Because the current carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drive of Changtian Technology do not support Core 2 chips at all, but only support Pangu series chips.
With the combination of the carbon crystal three kits, the overall performance of the computer will be greatly improved.
That's why Zhang Jing was confident.
He can guarantee that if there is no interference from external factors, the Pangu 3 chip will be able to completely surpass the Core 2.
The so-called external factors are, of course, some overseas policy factors.
Although Yanjiang Semiconductor Company has not been able to completely surpass Intel, it has laid the foundation for comprehensively surpassing Intel in the future.
And Zhang Jing believes that as long as Yanjiang Semiconductor's mass production can reach Intel's scale, it will only be a matter of time before it surpasses Intel.
Zhang Jing said: "Currently we have close to 100,000 chips in stock, and we can keep up with mass production!"
In just a few months, 100,000 chips have been stored. After upgrading equipment, Yanjiang Semiconductor Company's production capacity has indeed increased significantly.
Zhang Jing accompanied Chen Xiao to visit the production factory.
The technical staff of Yanjiang Semiconductor are concentrating on production.
Chen Xiao joked to Zhang Jing: "We are stocking up here quietly. I think Wu Jun may be anxious to death."
"I visited the Computer City in Shanghai yesterday. The Shenchuan stores were crowded, and there weren't even a few customers."
"All stores have to pay costs. PC products are fast-selling products. The longer the turnover time, the more costs you have to pay."
"I'm even a little worried that starting last month, Shenship's profits will be negative."
When Chen Xiao said this, Wu Jun from Shenzhen City sneezed.
What he has in his hand is the sales report for the past few months.
If I could express it in one word, it would be miserable.
If I could express it in two words, it would be really miserable.
In the first two quarters, Shenzhou's sales were simply a roller coaster ride.
It was still able to barely hold on in the first quarter. After the release of Core chips in the second quarter, all export orders were cut in half, and only Shenchuan was still purchasing.
If this progress continues, we will definitely lose money in July.
It is impossible to say that Wu Jun did not panic.
He was already panicking.
All subsidiaries of Changtian Technology are responsible for their own profits and losses.
The company can provide you with scientific research support, but it will not provide you with financial support.
In fact, money or not is a trivial matter.
For Wu Jun, face is the most important thing.
At the end of the year when the company holds its annual meeting.
All subsidiaries are profitable.
Only the Shenchuan is losing money, so Wu Jun has no shame in living anymore.
Wu Jun clearly felt the fierce competition in the PC market.
Your product may become a god in the last second and be recognized by consumers.
But in the next second, a stronger competitor appears.
You will be ruthlessly abandoned by consumers.
Wu Jun certainly knows that Changtian Technology is producing chips with a 65-nanometer process.
I also have absolute trust in Chen Xiao and believe that Changtian Technology’s 65-nanometer chip will not be worse than Intel’s.
For the sake of it, wait until Changtian Technology’s 65nm chip.
Wu Jun also took some decisive measures to allow the Shenchuan to survive.
The first is to cut down directly-operated stores on a large scale.
Because all the employees of the directly-operated stores belong to Shenzhou, and the stores are also purchased or rented by Shenzhou, which greatly increases the cost of Shenzhou.
After cutting off its direct-operated stores, Shenzhou directly connected with sales agents.
Regardless of whether the other party sells Shenchuan computers, Shenchuan does not have to pay high costs.
The second one is a large-scale price reduction.
There is never true love among technological products.
Consumers’ feelings towards technology products are that of scumbags.
When you see one and fall in love with the other, the good ones that come out will eliminate the old ones.
I never become emotionally attached to a product and say I want to use it forever.
After the Shenchuan T1 Jiaolong series appeared, consumers fell in love with Jiaolong, buying them like crazy and giving them good reviews.
But when computers equipped with Core 2 chips came out, everyone immediately forgot about the Jiaolong series.
Wu Jun had no choice but to cut prices on a large scale in order to sell the products, reduce inventory, and get the funds back as soon as possible.
Electronic products are different from other products.
The longer the inventory remains, the less likely it is to sell.
Especially for products such as computers, they become scrap after one or two years of inventory.
Wu Jun could only spend this cold summer patiently.
He believed that good times would eventually come.
In Shanghai Stock Exchange.
After Zhang Jing and Chen Xiao returned to the office, Zhang Jing made a suggestion.
"Should we add some series of Pangu 3 chips? Change the bus frequency or main frequency to increase the sales series of chips? We will also make a mid- to low-end product to meet the needs of different markets."
Unexpectedly, this suggestion was directly rejected by Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao said: "At present, the output of our Yanjiang Semiconductor Company is not enough. There is no need to expand the product series and increase our production difficulty."
"What we want to do is to only make high-quality products, that is, to make a top-notch commercial chip."
"Let all consumers recognize our products, and let these consumers think of assembling computers, especially high-performance computers with high cost performance, then our new Pangu 3 is a unique choice."
"Only in this way can we differentiate and compete with Intel."
Zhang Jing thinks what Chen Xiao said is very reasonable.
Only by making high-quality products can we gain a foothold in this market.
An inventory of 100,000 pieces, and production that can keep up with the pace.
Chen Xiao thinks it’s time.
He said to Zhang Jing: "Release the Pangu 3 chip. The location is the headquarters hotel in Changzezhou."
"This is the first chip product in Xia Guo that we have participated in the entire process from chip design to production, including equipment design and production."
After receiving this order from Chen Xiaodi, Zhang Jing seemed extremely excited.
This moment will come eventually!
Zhang Jing was in high spirits.
He can't wait to prove it to the entire industry, especially those old employers of TiMC!
He Zhang Jing, even if he came to the Xia Kingdom Continent alone, even if he repeatedly pursued Tiejidian, he could still achieve extraordinary results!
Zhang Jing said: "I will prepare relevant materials for the press conference right away!"
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "The invitation letter will be sent out in the name of Changtian Technology."
Chen Xiao smiled like an aunt: "Of course we want to invite all our friends in the industry!"
"By the way, I have asked the chip research laboratory to bring over 65-nanometer mobile phone chips. Yanjiang Semiconductor Company still needs to allocate some production capacity to mobile phone chips."
After hearing this, Zhang Jing's blood boiled!
Who says latecomers can't stop others?
Chen Xiao’s ambition is not just in the PC industry.
