Wang Yi also didn't expect that the chips he ordered for a year would be reported by Wall Street.
Even caused a sensation in the entire empire!
Also, when other manufacturers buy chips, a single order of one million is enough.
Wang Yi bought chips, applied processing chips + baseband chips, and made 30 million chips directly!
It would be strange if it didn’t cause a sensation!
From now on, it will be difficult to keep a low profile!
Steve also had a complicated look on his face and sighed in his heart:
'No wonder semiconductor experts like Williams were so excited when they came in! It turns out that Director Wang’s name has already caused a sensation in the entire semiconductor industry! '
"Dr. Wang, it's not just the Wall Street Journal. Today, the international mainstream media have reported on you!"
Williams said, swiping his phone: "Look!"
[Jingbao: A mysterious giant has emerged in the mobile phone industry, with a volume of 30 million, which will seriously impact Apple, Samsung, and HTC. 】
[The Guardian: Facing the terrifying impact of the mysterious Eastern giant with a size of 30 million, Nokia’s dominance may not be guaranteed! 】
[Ta Kung Pao: From this transaction, the Imperial chip giant became the biggest beneficiary, and Japan and South Korea lost all semiconductor chips. 】
[Voice of the Empire: Ordering 30 million chips, a new mobile phone giant is rising in the East! 】
[The Times: With a one-time order of 30 million chips, what is the origin of this mysterious Eastern boss? 】
…
Looking at these reports, Wang Yi burst out laughing, feeling sad and happy at the same time.
Sadly, it will be difficult to keep a low profile in the future.
Fortunately, traffic is coming from heaven!
Originally, Wang Yi was still thinking about how to better market and promote Xingyi mobile phone!
It's fine now, no worries at all.
Wang Yi doesn’t even need to buy hot searches and traffic for publicity!
A series of international media such as Wall Street, The Times, The Environment, and The Guardian took the initiative to promote him!
"The mysterious giant of the East!"
"Squandering 30 million chips!"
"Thirty million volumes!"
"Severe impact on Nokia, Apple, Samsung..."
Look at these words, who is not confused after reading them? Who wouldn’t be curious after reading this?
There is no doubt that now the entire empire, and even the entire world, are looking for the details of this 'mysterious Eastern giant' and the company and brand behind the 'Oriental giant'!
Sure enough, Williams opened Twitter:
"Director Wang, you see, 'Mysterious Eastern Giant' has become a hot search topic, and the entire Internet is trying to find your identity!"
Wang Yi: "..."
Whatever comes to mind.
In 2011, smartphones around the world were in their infancy.
Domestic smartphones are still in their infancy. Xiaomi has only released the first generation of smartphones and has not yet officially launched sales.
Suddenly a mysterious Eastern giant with an order of 30 million pieces appeared, and everyone was curious.
With the energy of these media, I am afraid that Wang Yi’s identity, Meiyou Technology, and Xingyi Technology will be dug out soon...
Then they made a big report and took the initiative to help Xingyi Mobile promote it for free!
There is no way, this matter has already caused a sensation in the empire and even the entire West.
If there is enough traffic, the media will rush to report it!
Once these international media report it, the domestic media will also be shocked and report accordingly.
Well, now, Xingyi Mobile has already been promoted even before it starts.
It’s still such a high-profile, free, overwhelming international publicity!
Wang Yi also didn't expect that placing a chip order for a year would cause such a terrifying chain reaction.
I didn’t know what to say for a while!
All I can say is that it was done... so beautifully!
If it weren't for this wave of mistakes, Wang Yi would not have been able to achieve such traffic and effects.
Wang Yi burst into laughter: "The Imperial Media is efficient enough, but they exaggerate. In fact, it is 15 million application processing chips + 15 million baseband chips! To support the volume of 15 million mobile phones, the media reported that it was 30 million. It’s twice as exaggerated!”
Wang Yi predicts that Xingyi Mobile 1, Xingyi Mobile 1 pro, and Xingyi Mobile 2 will each sell 5 million units throughout next year, and a total of 15 million units will be sold. This is not a big problem.
But if it hits 30 million units... it would be too difficult for an emerging mobile phone brand to position itself as high-end.
In his previous life, Wang Yi's impression was that Huawei's sales in 2012 were only about 30 million, of which 20 million were feature phones.
There are less than 10 million smartphones, of which only about half are high-end smartphones called P1, and the rest are entry-level smartphones.
Therefore, it is difficult for Wang Yi to sell 30 million high-end smartphones a year!
Too difficult!
But with 15 million units, there is still hope.
After all, Xingyi Phone 1 is much better than Huawei P1.
Not to mention Xingyi 1 pro and 2 generation!
Williams smiled slightly: "Although the media data is not rigorous enough, the strength of Xingyi Technology is still terrifying! We, the old directors of Texas Instruments, are so envious! There is just one sentence, I don't know whether to ask it or not."
"Just ask."
Williams paused: "Director Wang, our Texas Instruments processors are no worse than NVIDIA and Qualcomm, or even better. Why didn't Director Wang choose us instead of NVIDIA and Qualcomm?"
Wang Yi smiled: "The reason is simple. Nvidia launches the world's first quad-core processor. We need it, but Texas Instruments doesn't have it."
Williams nodded: "This reason is extremely good. What about Qualcomm? Their dual-core processor is not as good as our Texas Instruments!"
"Qualcomm's processors are indeed not as good as yours, but Qualcomm has a baseband and it's very powerful. Texas Instruments doesn't have one. If I buy your chip, I still have to buy a Qualcomm baseband, which is not cost-effective."
"Oh! It's true." Williams sighed:
"Many customers have given up on Texas Instruments for this reason. It seems that without a baseband, it is difficult to make progress."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Not only that, I also know that Texas Instruments is studying to completely abandon the mobile chip business. It is estimated that the entire department will be gone next year! In this situation, who dares to use Texas Instruments processors? There is no follow-up guarantee. .”
"..." Williams was silent, but he was shocked: "Do you even know this?"
The news that Texas Instruments has given up its mobile chip business and laid off all employees in the entire mobile chip department has long spread internally.
However, many people don't believe it. They think that Texas Instruments is as brilliant as Nokia and is the absolute overlord. How could it end?
But as the project director of Texas Instruments, Williams knew best that Texas Instruments would not only give up the mobile chip business, but also lay off all of them within a year!
If not, by this time this year, we are already working on the next generation of processors.
NVIDIA, for example, is studying Tegra 4, which will be launched in the first half of next year.
Qualcomm is also intensively promoting the 8064, which will be launched in the second half of next year. The new generation of the next year has also been approved!
Competitors have all developed quad-core chips, but Texas Instruments, the former big brother, still has no new moves or follow-up. His project director has been idle...
There is only one truth: Texas Instruments wants to completely abandon the mobile chip business.
He, Williams, is also facing being laid off!
Once you lose your job, where to find a new job is a problem.
After all, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Intel, and Apple all have their own R&D teams and leadership cores.
A big guy like him is the project director at Texas Instruments. Even if he goes to a friend's company and becomes an ordinary R&D staff member, he would not agree and would be devalued.
If you continue to be the project director, where will your original project director go? One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!
What a dilemma!
Williams knows this, and so does Wang Yi.
Wang Yixiao said: "We at Xingyi Technology should focus on developing the mobile phone business and semiconductor business!"
"Semiconductor business!"
Williams understood, no wonder he came to find him, Xingyi Mobile was going to develop its own chip!
Also, the smartphone market will become bigger and bigger in the future. With a population of 1.4 billion, Xia State has the largest market in the world.
Sales of 15 million units next year will not be a problem.
In a few years, it will not be a problem to double or even multiple times.
With such high sales, Xingyi Technology needs to purchase tens of millions of chips a year!
Rather than letting Qualcomm and Nvidia make away with this huge sum of money, it is better for Xingyi Technology to develop its own chips!
Just like Apple and Samsung, they all use self-developed chips!
Huawei's HiSilicon is also developing its own chips, which will be used by the next year at the latest!
Similarly, if Xingyi Technology wants to grow bigger, it will also do its own research, so it approached Williams!
Moreover, he had investigated Wang Yi's background and found that Meiyou's pure lust style clothing was very popular and very profitable.
There is no shortage of money at all, and we are fully capable of engaging in semiconductors!
'Now I am facing unemployment, and Xingyi Technology needs a R&D director. Isn't this the best place for me? '
For a moment, Williams became excited: "Director Wang, are you going to..."
"Yes, I want to set up Xingyi Semiconductor to develop my own chips. I sincerely invite Mr. Williams to be the R&D director of Xingyi Semiconductor! I wonder if you are willing?" Wang Yixiao said.
"I do!" Williams agreed quickly.
Normally, he would be unwilling to do so.
But now, Texas Instruments is giving up its mobile chip business!
At the latest next year, the entire mobile chip department will be laid off and collectively unemployed.
At that time, so many semiconductor talents will be vacant, and they will collectively find new owners, and they will be squeezed out!
What's more, it's easier for ordinary R&D elites to find jobs. As long as they have high capabilities, they can go to Qualcomm or Nvidia.
But for a R&D director like him, it would be difficult.
Except for newly established semiconductor companies like Wang Yi, other companies have their own R&D directors. How can there be a seat for him?
Unless Williams is willing to lower his status, give up his position as director, and become a technician.
As a result, not only the salary will be drastically reduced, but also the face will be lost.
No general is willing to stoop to being a soldier!
"Welcome to Xingyi Technology. Your salary will be better than that at Texas Instruments!" Wang Yi extended his hand.
"Thank you, boss. I will resign tomorrow and join Xingyi Semiconductor!" Williams said quickly.
Director-level experts like him, Texas Instruments and two others are probably eyeing the position of R&D director of Xingyi Semiconductor.
Once he hesitates and is overtaken by others, there will be no place to cry!
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry, you can ask your colleagues and your capable subordinates. If you are willing, you can join Xingyi Semiconductor together! The treatment will be favorable. Compared with Texas Instruments, it is only higher but not lower!"
Digging people is always done in batches.
In his previous life, OPPO’s Zheku hired many elites from HiSilicon.
Wang Yi will not dig HiSilicon, but directly dig it from Texas Instruments.
After all, the talents of Texas Instruments, the big guys, are more mature and have more advantages.
Especially now that Texas Instruments is about to give up its mobile chip business, it is simply the best time to poach people!
If it weren't for the fear of attracting the empire's attention and blockade and suppression, Wang Yi would have wanted to hollow out the entire mobile chip department of Texas Instruments!
But now, I still secretly pick up the top talents and first-class backbones.
As for other semiconductor R&D talents, they are recruited domestically and will be gradually dug up later.
Don't move too much.
Williams beamed with joy: "Boss, that's what I meant. Now everyone is about to lose their jobs, and they are all worried about where to go to develop. Director Wang is so generous, and Xingyi Semiconductor pays well, I'm afraid they are all willing to go."
"Then I give you a warm welcome!" Wang Yi changed the topic: "But I hope that Xingyi Semiconductor's R&D center will be placed in the imperial capital of Xia Kingdom!"
The semiconductor R&D center is so important that it is considered a strategic deployment of Xingyi Technology and can only be placed domestically.
If he were left in the empire, he might be taken over by the empire at any time, and Wang Yi wouldn't worry if he was tripped up.
As for the so-called private property of the empire, it is sacrosanct...
Such words to deceive children are just stupid.
As a reborn person, Wang Yi knows very well the virtues of the empire.
Even if Williams refuses, Wang Yi will have to stay in China!
"This..." Williams hesitated. This meant that they had to go to Xia Country to work, or even immigrate to Xia Country!
There was some resistance in his heart. After all, he had been a member of the Empire for a long time and had already become accustomed to the West.
But considering that in the empire, I am about to lose my job and can no longer find such a high-paying job.
Even if he lowers his net worth and becomes a research and development backbone, he can only find a job with an annual salary of $200,000.
But when I go to Xia State and join Xingyi Semiconductor, I can not only become the R&D director, but also get an annual salary of 800,000 U.S. dollars, or even one million U.S. dollars!
Moreover, the imperial capital of Xia Kingdom was very prosperous, and Wang Yi's treatment was high. After some hesitation, he still chose to look at Qian:
"Okay, I'll go! Some of my colleagues probably want to go!"
Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said with joy: "Very good, welcome to Xingyi Semiconductor, Director Williams!"
"I can guarantee that this is the wisest choice you have made. Of course, if you like Xia Guo, your family can come with you and I will make arrangements!"
"Thank you, Director Wang. I went to the Imperial Capital in 2008 and it was very nice!"
The 2008 Olympic Games changed many foreigners' views on the great Eastern country!
Previously, in the stereotype of foreigners, Xia country was still poor and backward.
But the 2008 Olympics directly blinded foreigners!
They all realized that the Xia Kingdom was no longer what it used to be and had become modernized!
Not only are we no longer backward and poor, but we have surpassed the West and the empire in many places.
The lightning-fast high-speed rail is unthinkable in the empire.
The clean and tidy Xiaguo subway station, compared to the dirty and messy Imperial subway station with rats running around, is also a dimensionality reduction blow.
Not to mention the built areas in other cities.
This is also a major reason why Williams is willing to come to Xia Guo.
If it were Asan's place, no matter how much money they gave him, he wouldn't go!
