Qualcomm, Pingguo, TSMC, Korean Star and Xia Wei, some of these five companies are clouded, some are thunderous, and some are silent and depressing.
In the past, Qualcomm didn't care whether Rice could get the world's largest share of mobile phones. Even if it holds shares in rice.
Because no matter whether it is rice, opo, or vivo, no matter how hard these big Xia mobile phone manufacturers "struggle", they must use Qualcomm chips!
The way to make money will not be cut off, and the market share of Qualcomm Snapdragon chips will even further expand as Daxia mobile phone manufacturers work hard to develop the global market.
In addition to HiSilicon Kirin, Daxia now has Kyushu Technology.
The latter is even scarier than the former.
HiSilicon Kirin can only design high-end chips and cannot produce them itself, nor does it have so many supporting hardware products.
As for Jiuzhou Technology’s Tianchen chip, just listen to how a certain Qualcomm executive roared at the meeting...
“In 2018, our acquisition of NXP Semiconductors was interrupted by the Daxia Market Supervision and Management. Not only did we pay a termination fee of US$2 billion, we were also forced to initiate a stock repurchase plan of up to US$30 billion.
It's all money! It is money that is more real than God! ! !
Do you say that stock buybacks are conducive to patent consolidation? So what can you do with what you got back now? !
Also, look at where that *damn* Suiren Company held its press conference! ! !
We just finished hosting the Technology and Cooperation Summit there in May, and they came right after us and stabbed us in the butt! !
This fucking stupid filthy bug thing! ! !
Then there is the Starry Project that deserves to be struck by lightning, gad! Is this the devil's plan? The performance of this first Tianchen chip is already ahead of us in terms of experience! ! !
Are your technical departments getting free money? ! ! "
This roar came from the mouth of a gentleman who was well-dressed in a custom-made suit.
But other Qualcomm executives present did not refute.
The biggest reason is that what this roaring man said is indeed true.
At the end of May, Qualcomm joined hands with more than a hundred ecological partners to jointly display nearly 300 product and technology demonstrations in the water house. In addition to the exhibition, Qualcomm also invited nearly ten partners to share the cooperation process and latest cooperation results at the meeting, and many invested companies also showed off their talents at the scene.
It can be said to be a very successful showtime.
But just as Qualcomm left, Suiren held a press conference at the same place.
And the products it releases, from mobile phones to AR glasses to smart ecological homes, are all better and smarter than the products produced by Qualcomm and the companies it invests in!
This is simply embarrassing!
Although due to Qualcomm's strength and connections, the media in Daxia and international media did not dare to report this connection.
But it is indeed a loss of face, especially when everyone in the industry knows that he has lost face.
According to a survey by the Ministry of Personnel, the attractiveness of Qualcomm’s corporate offer has dropped to another level.
However, after the rant, the meeting continued normally.
The attendees are either elites, leaders of relevant departments, or company directors. Everyone is usually very busy.
Just ten seconds later, a director spoke: "We have been in the automotive chip market for several years. We introduced the Snapdragon 820A automotive chip in 2016, but it was not until last year that a car company adopted the Snapdragon 820A as an automotive chip solution. , this slow pace is not in line with our tens of billions of dollars of investment.”
Capital is willing to invest, but if the rate of return and return speed are too slow, and the market development is too slow, capital will have no reason to continue investing.
After the director spoke out about the disappointment of the company's management team and technology department, another one stood up.
He straightened his collar and said with a British accent: "We know that in addition to wanting to make a difference in the field of automotive chips, you have also been thinking about the computer market. However, the performance of the processor released with such a high investment is far from It lags far behind Intel's processors. You know, Pingguo's M1 processor last year has kept up with Intel's ninth-generation i7 processor. According to the survey, this year's M1 Pro MAX may not be weaker than Pingguo's. With the performance of Intel's 11th generation i7, Pingguo will even be able to abandon Intel processors by then, and they will take more market share."
The situation disclosed by this person made many people in the conference room frown.
In the past few years, Qualcomm spent a lot of money to reach a cooperation with Microsoft in 2018, aiming to launch the computer-side processor Snapdragon 8CX. However, three years later, there has been no progress.
This cannot be said to be Microsoft's treason, but more to do with Qualcomm's technical capabilities. The processor uses the ARM public version core, and its performance is inherently incapable of defeating other companies.
And this is still an area that Qualcomm wants to explore, but now it is not only the area that Qualcomm wants to explore, but it is losing ground and not gaining any ground.
Now one-third of an acre of land is in danger.
In silence, a bald old man said: "In Daxia, in addition to Jiuzhou Technology and Xia Wei HiSilicon Kirin design chips, there is also MediaTek's Dimensity. It seems that Xia Xin Technology can already OEM 7nm process chips. They have wafers, technology, products, and their own high-end architecture. If Qualcomm continues to stand still, it may become the next Nokia, or even lose the entire mobile phone chip market.
I don't want this investment to go to waste, although I won't lose much by selling the body. "
Gulu.
Some Qualcomm executives broke out in a cold sweat.
This old man is not someone who talks lightly. If he says that if he sells the body, he will definitely get a good price, and executives like them will then become goods, either exchanged for resources, or simply discarded.
The conference room was obviously cleaned every day, but for some reason some people smelled the smell of blood.
Losing the entire mobile phone chip market sounds serious.
But it seems like there really might be a chance of it becoming a reality.
No one dared to say anything.
This is Qualcomm, with complex ingredients and complex roots. But I am also afraid that the tree will fall and the hozen will scatter.
Qualcomm is like this, but at this moment, the Pingguo Spaceship Headquarters Building is talking more about another aspect.
Cook was sitting in a conference room with the technical department and some university experts who had in-depth cooperation with Pingguo, repeatedly watching the official live broadcast of the Suiren press conference and the new product experience footage shot by other media.
From the Jiaolong mobile phone that can run several large-scale mobile games without lag, to the super reality augmented technology experience of SR1 glasses, to the collaborative cooperation of smart ecological homes throughout the house.
Everyone's expression was extremely solemn, and many people even smoked cigars and cigarettes.
