What happened to Deep Space Technology is unknown to consumers or the general public. Only some iPhone users noticed that several software programs could no longer be downloaded from the app or store.
Regarding this matter, Nebula Software Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Deep Space Technology Group, immediately issued an announcement, asking users to wait patiently, and is negotiating with Apple.
Nebula Software Technology Co., Ltd. questioned Apple and asked about the reason for the removal. Regarding Deep Space Technology’s questioning, Apple’s response was also vague, saying that it was under review. It was unclear when the review would be completed.
"This is just playing hooligan!" Gao Yuan was furious. After the company's structural adjustment this year, the "look at me" app has been merged into the newly established Mars Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. She is the senior vice president in charge of the mobile application business.
"Don't worry, we don't have many Apple users, so the impact will not be big." Meng Xiaobai comforted.
"But this will still lead to the loss of users." Gao Yuan said, "There are still many Apple mobile phone users in China."
"If they lose our software users, we will lose their mobile phone users!" Meng Xiaobai said coldly, "Within two years, I will make Apple mobile phones become antiques in China!"
"Improve software services?" Qiao Jian asked.
"Yes!" Meng Xiaobai said, "Accelerate the development of mobile software services and launch more smart software. Let users see that without our software, Apple's mobile phone is just a brick, and they will eventually shoot themselves in the face."
foot!"
"Put this issue aside for now." Meng Xiaobai said, "The most important thing is the issue of memory and chips."
"Yes!" Pan Yu nodded, "Samsung's memory price increase and Qualcomm's smart chip price increase are the most urgent things we need to solve now!"
"Can we talk to them?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Of course we can talk," Pan Yu said. "Their price increase is just to make us give up more profits. But the core technology is in their mobile phones. No matter how we talk, they have the initiative."
"I'm not very optimistic about negotiations. No matter what, we have to pay a big price."
"That's not necessarily true," Meng Xiaobai said.
Everyone looked at him with confused expressions. Pan Yu asked, "Mr. Meng, we have no choice but to talk to them."
"What we sell for our smart electronic products is one performance. Without these two core components, our products would basically be useless!"
Mercury smart home appliances and Mars smartphones are popular in the market because of their excellent performance, and the core components provided by Samsung and Qualcomm are an indispensable part to meet the performance requirements.
"That's not necessarily the case. We can do it ourselves," Meng Xiaobai said.
"Can we do it?" Pan Yu said in a completely puzzled tone. This is the most cutting-edge technology, which has been monopolized by foreign manufacturers. Not to mention them, even those technology companies that have been researching and developing it for more than ten years cannot make it.
Meng Xiaobai smiled and said nothing. About five months ago, he obtained the semiconductor technology information and equipment of Batman Bruce Wayne. And he sent this information to the robot "Wang Yuanhang", who is now the technical director of Deep Space Semiconductor.
Under the leadership of Wang Yuanhang, the confidential research and development of deep space semiconductors has been underway for five months! They have achieved some results. Now, except for the researchers and Meng Xiaobai, no one outside knows how far they have achieved.
In fact, the current research and development results of deep space semiconductors have allowed deep space technology to escape the control of foreign manufacturers. However, this is absolutely confidential, and even Pan Yu, who is the president of Mars Intelligent Technology, has no idea.
"Mr. Meng, what is it?" Pan Yu asked curiously. Meng Xiaobai's smile must have a trump card.
"I can't tell you yet," Meng Xiaobai said, "but you can safely negotiate with Samsung and Qualcomm."
"Our attitude is very simple, refuse to increase prices! No matter what they threaten, we must firmly refuse! Let's see what other methods they have!"
"Do this..." Pan Yu originally wanted to ask something, but when he saw Meng Xiaobai's firm tone, he nodded and said, "Okay. I guess they won't give in."
…
Pan Yu’s guess was not wrong, and neither Samsung nor Qualcomm gave in.
Samsung Group stated that the price increase was due to the increase in raw material prices in the international market and was not targeted at Deep Space Technology.
Qualcomm, on the other hand, didn't bother to give an excuse and sent someone directly to reply: "This is a price set after careful consideration by the group. If Mars cannot accept it, they will stop supplying subsequent 5G smart chips."
I don’t know who released this news and published it in the media.
"The sales myth of Mars smartphones is about to be terminated? Qualcomm said: If Mars does not accept the price increase, it will stop the supply of 5G smart chips!"
As soon as the news came out, netizens went crazy.
Duhu Tieyi: "What do you mean? There will be no chips for Mars smartphones in the future?"
Tick Tick Tock: "It means the price will be raised! Nowadays, Mars mobile phones are so expensive. If the price rises, I won't be able to afford it!"
Xiao Xiaoliang: "Qualcomm has taken action. This is a rogue company! It's over. What if the Mars phone doesn't have its own 5G chip?"
I want to have late night snacks every day: "I can buy Huawei!"
Yue Ting: "Huawei won't sell it at all. One thing I can say is that Huawei's mobile phone chips are indeed inferior to Qualcomm's."
Enlightenment: "Hey, Mars mobile phone has also been sanctioned, Liangliang."
…
On the Internet, there are a lot of calls for decline. Netizens and the media are predicting that the Mars smartphone will encounter the biggest blow since its establishment.
Either compromise Qualcomm or lose the chip. No matter which choice is made, it will be a disaster for Mars mobile phones!
Because of this news, the stock prices of Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, and even domestic companies such as Rice surged that day. Investors seemed to have seen the collapse of Mars Technology.
On a news talk show that day, the host and guests mentioned this topic.
The host asked: "Mr. Ma is a well-known entrepreneur and is very familiar with the Internet and smartphone industries. What do you think of the news today that negotiations between Deep Space Technology and Qualcomm failed."
Guest Mr. Ma replied: "First of all, I want to say that our domestic technology companies are still weaker than foreign companies in terms of hard power of technology. As for this chip, if Qualcomm stops providing 5G smart chips for Mars mobile phones, Mars mobile phones will almost
It’s totally gone!”
"To put it more seriously, without Qualcomm's G5 smart chip, no matter how good the Mars mobile phone is, it will be useless! So I think Deep Space Technology should talk to Qualcomm again and make compromises and concessions."
"Are you saying that this price increase controversy by Qualcomm and Samsung Group will definitely affect Deep Space Technology?" the host asked.
"Yes, one hundred percent." The guest nodded.
…
"If they don't agree to the price increase, will they stop our supply?" Although he had already guessed the outcome, Meng Xiaobai still felt unhappy.
He ordered: "Issuing an announcement that starting from the next smart product, whether it is a Mars smartphone or a Mercury smart home appliance, we will refuse to use Qualcomm's smart chips. We will launch our own smart chips!"
"The same goes for Samsung. If they still insist on raising prices, we don't need their memory!"
At four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Deep Space Technology Group issued an announcement: "In view of the unsmooth negotiations with Samsung Electronics and Qualcomm, our group has decided that subsequent smart electronic products will use smart chips and memories designed and developed completely independently. For more information, please
Waiting for further news."
As soon as this news came out, the Internet went crazy.
"What? They actually said that?" Tian Bing, from DaMi Technology, never expected that Deep Space Technology would be so tough. "In this case, whose chips can the Mars mobile phone use? Is it possible that they really want to make it themselves? Isn't that right?
possible!"
"I expected Qualcomm's restrictions, but I didn't expect Deep Space Technology to be so tough!" Fan Lianfeng of Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. shook his head, "So far, they don't have a chip of their own, why are they so tough?"
"Maybe they are just talking about it," the assistant said. "In a few days, they will still have to compromise with Qualcomm."
…
"Hahaha!" Cooke of Apple said with a rare smile, "Those people at Qualcomm finally did something good."
Previously, Apple had just concluded its lawsuit with Qualcomm, and the two companies did not deal with each other. However, in this matter, their interests are aligned.
As for Qualcomm, Paul Jerry learned of the Deep Space Technology announcement and was completely unimpressed.
"In less than a month, they will compromise. This announcement is just a bluff. Ignore them."
The Samsung Group also made no statement. They also regarded the announcement of deep space technology as a joke. Are these core technologies something you can research if you want?
Not to mention the outside world, there are even voices questioning within Deep Space Technology. Everyone is wondering, what is the next step for the company?
If they really don’t use Qualcomm’s smart chips and Samsung’s memory, where can they find hardware with the same performance?
The only good news is that because users are worried that they will not be able to buy such a Mars smartphone in the future, the sales of Mars smartphones have increased again.
But these sales also consume the chip inventory accumulated by Deep Space Technology.
In order to stabilize the morale of the military, Meng Xiaobai decided to show the company's confidence to the senior executives first, so he summoned the relevant senior executives to prepare to visit Deep Space Semiconductor.
"Deep Space Semiconductor, what else can they not achieve?" Everyone was very suspicious. Deep Space Semiconductor had been established for two years, and its presence was pitifully low. Some people in the company even suggested that the company should be cancelled, because of the money invested every year.
I didn’t even see a splash. The performance of the smart home appliance chip released last time was too rubbish, so Pan Yu rejected it.
Semiconductor technology is monopolized by large foreign manufacturers, and they do not expect deep space semiconductors to do anything.
