Chapter 602: Who is the fool
Of course Chen Xiao knew what kind of companies Wang Xiang was talking about.
Now the media is overwhelmingly doing public opinion propaganda, and the relevant departments have also called Changtian Technology, and the nature is completely different.
Before Wang Xiang's call was hung up, Chen Xiao's assistant on the other side came over to inform Chen Xiao, and Wu Jun called to report the situation.
In fact, Chen Xiao didn't need to answer the phone, he knew what Wu Jun was going to say.
It is also the distribution of Pangu No. 3 chips, and Lianxiang's pressure on Changtian Technology.
Chen Xiao smiled and said to Wang Xiang, "Actually, such a question is easy to answer."
"Changtian Technology has made it clear at the new product launch that our Pangu No. 3 chip is completely sold to the outside world, and all PC companies can purchase it centrally. In addition, ordinary computer sellers and computer hardware vendors can also purchase from Changtian. Technology is purchased here, so Lianxiang’s pressure on us is just superfluous.”
Wang Xiang's first reaction was that if Lianxiang could also use the Pangu 3 chip, then the competition pressure of the magic ship would increase, but Wang Xiang knew that Chen Xiao was absolutely impossible for Changtian Technology to spend a lot of effort to develop Pangu 3. Chips lose money, and it is even more impossible for Shenchuan, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, to survive.
Chen Xiao must have arranged for him to do this.
Wang Xiang immediately replied, "I understand, Mr. Chen."
After hanging up Wang Xiang's call, Chen Xiao spoke with Wu Jun again.
Wu Jun sighed in his heart. Fortunately, after the new product launch, Chen Xiao has already made plans for the future development of Shenchuan.
Shenchuan has made major adjustments to the production and sales of the entire company in strict accordance with Chen Xiao's requirements.
The new generation of Shenchuan Jiaolong desktop computer equipped with Pangu 3 chip is in production and will definitely be sold, but this is not the only explosion point of Shenchuan in the future.
The low-power notebook chip designed by the Changtian Technology Chip Lab on the basis of the 65-nanometer process has already started production at Yanjiang Semiconductor.
This will be the latest profit point of Shenchuan.
Moreover, in the field of desktop computers, Shenchuan purchases chip motherboards, as well as memory and hard drives at a much lower price than several other PC companies.
Therefore, even in the midst of brutal competition, Shenchuan can still guarantee its own cost-effectiveness. Even if the profit of a single PC drops sharply in the future, Shenchuan can survive in the cruel market.
After the call with Wu Jun, Chen Xiao came to the Severe Lung Disease Treatment Center to listen to Qu Ping's report.
During this time, the vice-presidents of Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and other companies, as well as the marketing technology team, stayed in Tianyue Island and did not want to leave, even if they stayed at the very expensive Mochizuki Hotel every day (Changtian Technology) The Mochizuki Hotel is quite expensive for non-friendly and cooperative guests, 10,000 RMB per night for an ordinary room, but this money is just a drizzle for people from Pfizer and other companies).
They are looking for opportunities to negotiate with Changtian Technology, hoping to introduce combined colony therapy.
At the same time at the Yanjing Lianxiang headquarters.
Uncle Liu and Yang Qing are very satisfied with the media's public opinion offensive and the pressure from relevant departments on Changtian Technology.
After this combination of punches, Changtian Technology was very passive.
If the chip is sold to Lianxiang, from the outside world, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the sales of Shenchuan. After all, Lianxiang is still the domestic king in terms of word of mouth and market share.
If the chip is not sold to Lianxiang, then Changtian Technology has always claimed at the press conference to lead the rise of Xiaguo Technology.
But in fact, Yang Qing is somewhat puzzled that under such strong pressure, Changtian Technology has not responded to this question.
Yang Qing felt that he should put pressure on Changtian Technology again.
Three days later, on August 15, Dell's Xiaguo District Senior Association went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to welcome the Pangu 3 chip purchased by Dell, and held talks with Wang Xiang and Zhang Jing to discuss the next step of cooperation between the two parties.
This is a completely public event, and Changtian Technology also hopes to express to the public that the Pangu 3 chip has been recognized by the market.
But Yang Qing feels that this is also an opportunity. Lianxiang needs to force Changtian Technology to make a statement, and will sell chips to all PC companies including Lianxiang with a fair attitude and appropriate price.
As long as Changtian Technology makes such a statement, Lianxiang can naturally purchase chips from Changtian Technology, without considering whether it is shameful.
August 15, 2007.
At the headquarters of Shanghai Yanjiang Semiconductor Company, Wang Xiang, Zhang Jing and Lin Enke, President of Dell Xiaguo District Headquarters, jointly signed an order contract with a total value of 49 million RMB and a total of 50,000 Pangu No. 3 chips in the first batch.
This is only Dell's first batch of orders. If the feedback from the follow-up market is very good, Dell will continue to purchase chips from Changtian Technology.
Dell's products are mainly aimed at the Daxiaguo regional market, as well as the entire Southeast Asian, Central Asia and South American markets.
Consumers in these markets do not have high incomes, and there is a strong demand for cost-effective computers.
The Pangu No. 3 chip worth 999 yuan is a rare high-end PC essential chip.
Dell and Changtian Technology still have a tradition of cooperation, although there have been some unpleasant things between the two sides, but this is because of interests.
Whether it is between countries, or between companies, there are never eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Therefore, in this cooperation, the two sides are of course once again emphasizing friendship.
Zhang Jing still had some feelings in his heart after watching Wang Xiang and Lin Enke signed the cooperation agreement.
This is the first time in the history of Xia Guo that a PC company in the United States has purchased Xia Guo's chip products in such a complete manner for the first time.
For the first time, Xia Guo's chip company can truly enter the world's first echelon.
Most of the media at the scene were also delighted with the collaboration.
Everyone has thought about today's news headlines - the US PC company Dell purchases Xiaguo domestic chips on a large scale, and Xiaguo chips go abroad to win the favor of international PC companies.
How exciting is it to release the titles one by one.
After all, it has been so many years since reform and opening up, and it has been five years since Xia Guo joined the WTO.
The products exported by Xiaguo have always been primarily processed products, low-tech products and labor-intensive products.
Basically, no technical products will be exported to overseas countries, let alone the United States, which is the world's first in global technology.
The export of chips means that Xia Guo's technology products can still gain a certain market position in the world, which means that Xia Guo people can compete with first-class technology companies in Europe and America as long as they work hard.
This is a major event that subverts the past, and of course it deserves substantial media coverage.
After the two sides signed the agreement, they took a group photo with the media, and then each meeting was given a few minutes of question time.
Gu Run
The first few questions were very friendly to the media, mostly asking about the scale of cooperation between the two parties and what models of desktops Dell will launch.
But when it was the turn of the reporter from the "New Yanjing News", the direction of the question suddenly changed.
"Hello Mr. Wang, I'm Xiao Bing from the New Yanjing News. First of all, I would like to congratulate Changtian Technology for reaching a friendly cooperation with Dell. The goal of bringing consumers a cheap way to let consumers experience, your company can sell the chips to Dell, why not sell the chips to Lianxiang?"
Wang Xiang chuckled lightly, as expected, he would encounter such a problem.
"Mr. Wang, hello, will your company provide Lianxiang with chips? Will the quantity and price meet the same standards as Dell?"
This is a question from a reporter from the "Nanbian Daily".
The reporters were impolite, making the atmosphere of the scene very relaxed into embarrassment.
This kind of yin and yang question not only offended Changtian Technology but also made Dell's team very uncomfortable.
Wang Xiang laughed and didn't answer the question immediately, but said, "Which reporter has the same question, I'll answer it in a while."
Afterwards, several reporters asked the same question. Wang Xiang looked at the media organizations they belonged to and felt relieved. These media were almost the same as the media that released news that was unfavorable to Changtian Technology some time ago.
Then the answer is obvious. They came to the scene today not to report truthfully and objectively about the contract between Changtian Technology and Dell, but to find fault.
After all the reporters had quieted down, Wang Xiang said, "Friends from the reporters, your question is already a prerequisite for Changtian Technology."
"Your precondition is that even if Changtian Technology sells its chips to all PC companies in the world, it will not sell it to Lianxiang."
Wang Xiang smiled and said, "But what I want to say is, I would like to ask the media friends here, have you asked Lianxiang, after Changtian Technology released new products, when did this company take the initiative to ask Changtian Technology to buy chips?"
Wang Xiang spread his hands, and the staff of Changtian Technology and Yanjiang Semiconductor here burst into laughter.
Wang Xiang shrugged and said: "In very common words, Changtian Technology is the seller, and some companies are the buyer, and the buyer has not put forward any conditions. Do we force the product into the buyer's arms? This does not seem to be in line with the market and Economic laws."
Wang Xiang's remarks made these provocative reporters very embarrassed.
Lianxiang did not ask Changtian Technology about chips from beginning to end, and Changtian Technology could not be active. Go and ask Lianxiang if there is a chip.
After saying this, Wang Xiang ignored the reporters in the audience and left the venue.
It's not that Changtian Technology is biased against Xia Guo's technology companies, and only sells chip products to PC companies in the United States.
Xia Guo's PC companies, including Tongfang, Founder and other brands, also requested the Pangu 3 chip from Changtian Technology, and Changtian Technology also signed a supply agreement with the other party in accordance with the requirements of these companies.
If Changtian Technology wants to become a global top technology company, of course, it will not rule out cooperation with overseas technology companies.
Therefore, it will also meet the demand for chips from brands such as Dell.
After all, money is not a bastard.
But Lianxiang is different. If you want to buy a chip, you will buy a chip. If you don’t buy a chip, you will pull it down. If you want to buy a chip, you can’t put it down. You don’t want to admit your past policy mistakes.
Lianxiang himself did not expect that it took him so long to accumulate public opinion effects, and he was completely denied by Wang Xiang's words.
At this time, everyone suddenly realized that this is the truth. If you want to buy a chip, you should go to Changtian Technology to negotiate. If you don't talk about it, you will say that the other party will not sell it to you. Isn't this a joke?
When Yang Qing saw the video of this press conference, he was trembling with anger.
Lianxiang did say hello to these media, but he did not expect these media to ask questions so thoughtlessly, without any skills.
In this way, Lianxiang is very passive.
Yang Qing made a decisive decision and immediately sent a delegation to Jiangzhou to negotiate with Changtian Technology, hoping to purchase Pangu 3 chips as soon as possible.
Yang Qing thought that this negotiation would be very difficult, so Lianxiang made a lot of contingency plans.
Who knew that this time the negotiation with Changtian Technology went very smoothly.
Changtian Technology did not embarrass Lianxiang, but met Lianxiang's request to purchase the first batch of 50,000 pieces.
The price is the same as the price of the conference, 999 yuan.
However, if Lianxiang wants to purchase chips, it must pay 30% of the deposit first, like other PC companies, and at least 80% of the amount the day before delivery, and the full amount will be paid after the delivery is completed.
If Lianxiang hopes to get the chip first, then the first 60% deposit must be paid, and the 40% balance must be paid the day before delivery.
Otherwise, according to the current sorting order, Lianxiang is the last one.
How does this work!
The total amount of the order is more than 49 million RMB.
At this time, Lianxiang suddenly felt that there was another pit, but the reality was there. Dell and Asus and other brands had bought it. If Lianxiang did not buy it, it would not be competitive in China at all.
During this time, the new generation of Jiaolong computer equipped with Pangu 3 chip will be launched. Dell has already purchased hardware equipment such as motherboards and memory that match the Pangu 3 chip.
So as long as the chips are in place, Dell's PCs will be available immediately.
Lianxiang's heart panicked!
After Lianxiang's negotiating team reported the relevant situation to Yang Qing, Yang Qing and Uncle Liu urgently discussed and held a high-level meeting, and finally decided to ensure Lianxiang's competitiveness and to avoid long nights and dreams. Immediately pay 50,000 chips in full. And it is necessary for Changtian Technology to ensure that chips can be supplied in time.
After Chen Xiao learned about Lianxiang's conditions, he wanted to laugh.
Of course, Changtian Technology can guarantee the supply of chips to Lianxiang. Before the release of the Pangu-3 chip, Yanjiang Semiconductor has stocked up more than 100,000 Pangu-3 chips, which can currently meet the needs of many companies such as Shenchuan, Dell, and Lianxiang. Sales.
This time, the chip can satisfy all PC companies, but apart from the cost advantage of Shenchuan, several other companies have no advantage in purchasing hardware at all.
Can Lianxiang break through the competition with Dell, Asus, HP and other brands? Chen Xiao doesn't care!
After all, whoever wins has to buy their own chip.
It is them that compete, and it is Changtian Technology who makes money.
Aug. 20.
Because Shenchuan had already completed the production of Jiaolong Computer, it was the first to start supplying it on August 20. In addition, the cost was the lowest among several PC companies, so when it went public, the sales exploded.
