Chapter 537: Facts have proved that Liu Lang is right
In fact, with the advent of the smart era, the price proportion of chips will become larger and larger. For example, the Apple mobile phone in 30 years' time will cost almost 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, and the gross profit of a mobile phone will be
It has reached about 70%, and of this 70% profit, the profit margin of chips accounts for more than half, and of the more than half of the chip profits, TSMC, which OEMs chips for Apple mobile phones, accounts for
A profit of thirty to forty percent.
To be more specific, for an Apple mobile phone worth about RMB 8,000, TSMC will charge more than RMB 1,300. It doesn’t seem like much, right! Let’s look at the Chinese factory that assembles Apple mobile phones. The most famous one is
The one is Foxconn in Taiwan. Tens of thousands of people work day and night from morning to night. Every day, tens of thousands of mobile phones are successfully assembled and shipped to all over the world. But how much money can they make?
The money in the mobile phone is only five or six yuan, which is more than ten times the difference!
So don’t underestimate OEM companies. OEM is different from foundry. Thirty years later, those mainland OEM companies will make hard-earned money, and they will be exhausted and not get much. TSMC is completely different from these companies.
Liu Lang had seen an introduction to this company in his previous life. It was a high-quality company with annual sales of more than 80 billion U.S. dollars and a net profit of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. Its profit margin was much higher than that of many Fortune 500 companies in the world.
Even giant companies like Apple and Intel
It also depends on his face. If one day TSMC says that our home has a power outage, the shipment volume of Apple mobile phones will suddenly drop. It can be said that foundry companies such as TSMC already have a very large say.
Every customer should be treated like his ancestors.
Of course, SMIC is not yet at that level, but as the demand for chips increases, SMIC is bound to follow the path of TSMC.
"Liu Lang! It's great that SMIC has reached this point, but it still has to work hard. Nine thousand yuan is already a lot, but it still has to work hard. The annual production capacity of Wanwan exceeds 20,000 yuan.
, I predict that the number of "Fenli" chips will reach this number within two years, so you can't relax, otherwise don't blame me if they are snatched away by Wanwan!"
"Old sir, the current technology at Wanwan is not as high as that of SMIC. Even if they upgrade and transform, the time may not be faster than ours, so don't count on them. We, SMIC, will take care of everything!"
Let Wanwan steal his own business? You’re kidding!
"Haha, that's right, that's why I ask you to work hard!"
Wan An laughed.
"Old sir, don't worry about this. We can establish a production system in one year, and we will naturally not fall behind in terms of production capacity. However, the personal computer released by IBM is, I think, an improvement on Wan'an Company."
A big challenge. Do you remember what I once said? The computer industry will definitely enter an era of personal computers. In this era, everyone is a potential user. I think that now, the era of personal computers has arrived. Wan'an Company
Are you ready?"
Wan An on the other side of the phone was silent for a while.
Liu Lang would say this once every time he met. Wan An would always laugh it off. He felt that letting everyone own a computer was a very unreliable thing. First of all, the price was too expensive, and secondly, it was too expensive for personal use.
What? It’s of no use!
Who would buy something that is expensive and difficult to use?
But now he is a little shaken by this idea, not because he thinks he is wrong, but because the development of things is really close to what Liu Lang predicted!
Liu Lang initially predicted that computers in the future would be very compact, similar to Apple computers, and then their prices would be significantly reduced, making them acceptable to ordinary people.
It has only been a year or two, but both predictions are about to come true.
Is this what Liu Lang said randomly? Obviously not. Liu Lang always talks about this every time he meets him. He doesn't have enough confidence to do this?
Liu Lang also made a prediction, that is, the performance of computers in the future will be greatly improved. It can do what humans can do and what humans cannot do. At that time, Wan'an just felt that Liu Lang's ideas were too advanced.
, it has been impossible for computers to achieve this level for decades, but now? Even Wan'an himself feels that with the emergence of a new generation of computer languages, the functions of programs will definitely make a qualitative leap. Now Wan'an
group
The team's software is constantly making breakthroughs in this area. The WPS system will soon have an upgraded version. The performance of this generation of products will be several times more powerful than the previous generation. Then Wanhe is also planning to integrate image processing programs and word processing programs.
Integration processing is carried out to achieve the purpose of combining graphics and text. Such a program would not have even been thought of by Wan'an a year ago, but now it is close at hand, and the speed makes people feel like a dream.
Thinking about it this way, the predictions Liu Lang made to himself two years ago are actually showing signs of coming true. Can he really predict the future?
Wan An is a stubborn old man. In his previous life, even though the sales of IBM personal computers had exceeded that of commercial computers, he felt that personal computers would have no future and still insisted on commercial computers and refused to change. The same is true in this life, even though
Liu Lang told him many times, but he laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.
But things are different now. Many facts seem to be confirming Liu Lang's prediction. This is like Einstein's discovery of the general theory of relativity. In the first few years, no one paid attention to this theory, thinking that it was a mysterious and mysterious paper.
of any value.
However, with the research and observation of scientists, they found that the theory of relativity can accurately predict the transit of Mercury, and also found that the theory of relativity can calculate the refraction of sunlight more accurately than classical mechanics. This suddenly put Einstein and his theory of relativity on the map.
God, anyone who doesn't believe it is a fool.
The same is true for Liu Lang's prediction now. Realistic developments are confirming his prediction little by little. If you don't believe it at this time, you would be a fool.
"Liu Lang, your words really make sense. Maybe the era of personal computers has really arrived, so what should we do?"
Wan An suddenly asked.
"Of course, we want to make computers simple and convenient so that ordinary people can afford them. This is the first step. The next step is to continuously improve the functions of the software, software that plays movies, software that can play music, and even we can
Make a computer game and attract all customers!"
Liu Lang sighed, thank God, this Wan An finally said something "human"!
