Chapter 324 Wu Bo shocked Chen Changliu

On December 18, Chen Changliu took Wu Bo to Yangcheng to attend MediaTek's product launch conference, while Ke Meng stayed in the company.

Nowadays, the pace of expansion in Africa is very fast, and there may be something to communicate with the headquarters at any time. It is better for Ke Meng to sit in the company.

In the car, Zhao Yanan sat in the passenger seat, while Chen Changliu and Wu Bo sat in the back seat.

"Mr. Chen, MediaTek Jingyuan integration solution has finally been launched on a large scale, which will be a disruptive existence for the mobile phone industry.

Once this Jingyuan integration plan comes out, the supply chain in Pengcheng can easily make very low-end mobile phones. Although the quality is not as good as our Meizu Pangu series, it is definitely a huge improvement for domestic feature phones. impact.

Our African market must also prepare for rainy days. "

Wu Bo was a little worried, but Chen Changliu didn't care much.

"Well, it's okay, we still have at least half a year.

Jingyuan press conference, if MediaTek knows the whereabouts of our products and breaks the news at the press conference, then we will not be able to hide it even if we want to.

However, it will take at least 3 or 4 months for these supply chain integrators to produce products and then they set their sights on the African market and enter the African market layout. This period of time is enough for our layout. This is what I would say quickly. .

Having said that, don’t forget our bet with MediaTek. As long as we can complete the bet, our price advantage cannot be compared with others.

Hum, as long as they dare to enter the African market, I dare to lower the price again. I will be willing to make 10 yuan per mobile phone at that time. Let’s see how they do with us.

As our shipments become larger and larger, not only will our costs fall further, I don't believe they dare to start a price war with us. "

These words were extremely domineering, which made Wu Bo and Zhao Yanan admire them.

Chen Changliu continued:

“Brother Bo, I want to make Africa our back garden, and I want to make the Mori the king of mobile phones in Africa.

Until then, many of my ideas can be developed.

Do you remember that we talked about making our own mobile phones in the future, but what I didn’t tell you was that I also wanted to build our own mobile phone wafers. "

Wu Bo looked at Chen Changliu with a firm face, but his face only showed an expression of surprise, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.

But his surprised expression seemed inappropriate to Chen Changliu. It should be shock, right? This is a mobile phone chip, and it is completely different from an MP3 chip.

Chen Changliu couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to think about it and continued:

"Originally I wanted to wait a while before telling you, but now that we are here, I will tell you.

After returning from Pengcheng, just assign a group of people to be responsible for the follow-up research and development of MP3 chips. Your next task is to develop mobile phone chips.

MediaTek's mobile phone wafer integration solution is your direction. We will start with low-end wafers.

When we develop our own low-end mobile phone wafers, Africa will be our best market. By then we can produce mobile phones worth 100 yuan or 80 yuan. Do you think anyone in Africa can compete with us?

Even though Africa is poor, they can still afford a mobile phone worth tens of dollars. "

After Wu Bo listened to Chen Changliu's words, he looked at Chen Changliu with a complicated face. asked seriously:

"Mr. Chen, mobile phone wafers are not as simple as MP3 wafers. First of all, the difficulty of wafer design is very high. It is definitely a gold-swallowing behemoth.

Because the area of ​​a mobile phone processor is very small, which is about the size of a fingernail, a series of different structures need to be placed in such a small area.

Imagine that Jingyuan R\u0026D engineers have to arrange tens or hundreds of millions of transistors in an orderly manner in such a small area according to certain rules. You can imagine the difficulty.

Moreover, another difficulty in wafer design is also concentrated in the testing process. After the circuit design of a wafer is completed, it needs to be tape-out tested.

The cost of a tape-out can be as high as tens of millions of yuan, and once the tape-out fails, it needs to be readjusted and then re-tested. The cost of this round-trip can be as high as hundreds of millions of yuan.

Mr. Chen, with the current size and affordability of our company, we will fall into trouble if we are not careful. This is too dangerous for the company.

Are you ready? "

Listening to Wu Bo's words, Chen Changliu felt more and more strange, as if Wu Bo had taken away the initiative in the conversation.

He knows the historical process, and it is impossible for him to not take action knowing that without his own crystal, he will be controlled by others.

He remembered that Qualcomm made more money selling mobile phone wafers to major domestic mobile phone manufacturers in a year than all mobile phone manufacturers combined from selling mobile phones.

It can be said that Chunchun is helping Qualcomm harvest domestic money.

Chen Changliu looked at Wu Bo seriously and firmly and said:

"Brother Bo, I know this, but developing mobile phone wafers was not a whim of mine. It was already planned at the beginning of my business, but I didn't expect it to start so quickly.

Our mobile phones do not have their own core and will always be controlled by others.

Today’s mobile phone wafer suppliers are either from the island or abroad. As you know, some things must be resolved and unified sooner or later, but no one knows how long it will take.

We will definitely have conflicts with Europe and the United States by then, but if they block our wafers, how can we still produce mobile phones?

Therefore, even in times of difficulty, we must prepare for a rainy day. I am not afraid of failure. I am still young and I can afford to fail.

And with our Mori mobile phones selling like hotcakes in Africa, there will definitely be enough money to support Jingyuan’s research and development. "

Wu Bo looked at Chen Changliu with a determined look on his face, and slowly, a crazy look appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, okay, Mr. Chen, since you are not afraid, what do we have to be afraid of? If we are really exposed, we can become national heroes, let's do it."

Hearing Wu Bo's loud laughter and the madness on his face, Chen Changliu felt that Wu Bo was waiting for him here.

Wu Bo continued:

“However, making Jingyuan is really not something you can do with just money. It requires a long period of experience accumulation, technology accumulation, and personnel training.

After returning from Pengcheng, I will find some experts in this field, whether they are domestic or foreign, and I will recruit them if I have the opportunity.

However, there is one thing you must be prepared for. As long as a company can concentrate on research, Epistar's design can still be successfully designed. It just takes a short time.

However, the production of Jingyuan cannot be handled by one company, and this needs to be considered at the national level.

It can be said that currently no country can independently complete the production of an entire line of wafers, because the production of wafers involves too many core high-precision components, and these technologies and spare parts are without exception. It is the top level that human technology can currently achieve.

For example, taking a photolithography machine, it is necessary to bring together the world's top technologies. A photolithography machine has hundreds of thousands of components and involves thousands of different suppliers.

Generally speaking, the production and design process of wafer is a very difficult and complex process, involving too many industries. "

Chen Changliu nodded:

"I think the country's foresight is beyond our comparison. They will consider everything. With the development of science and technology, the country will definitely be able to see these problems."

"Hahaha, okay, Mr. Chen, just be determined, that's great, I wanted to tell you when I was training MediaTek's wafer, we can also make our own wafer.

It's just that the company's financial resources don't allow it, so I don't dare to mention it to you. I want to wait until later.

To be honest, the design of this functional machine chip is actually not as difficult as outsiders imagine. However, because some technologies involve patent issues, if we want to avoid them, we have to work hard, but I am confident. Can lead the team to complete it. "

Chen Changliu looked at Wu Bo dumbfounded. It seemed that his subordinate was crazier than himself!

I thought I was thinking further and more forward-looking, and others were already planning on him.
