#466 - Lei Jun panicked
In the Hua Xing Technology office, Lu Haifeng was reviewing the information on Green Factory's R9s phone, filled with suspicion about their recent actions!
After all, Green Factory phones had always been equipped with Lian Fa Ke or Hua Xing Semiconductor processors!
However, this time, Green Factory suddenly launched a phone that abandoned the cheaper Lian Fa Ke or Hua Xing Semiconductor processors, opting instead for the more expensive Gao Tong Snapdragon 615 processor!
Green Factory's move was undoubtedly laden with meaning!
Soon, however, Lu Haifeng received some bad news!
Taiwan's TSMC was also preparing to expand its production capacity, significantly increasing the output of Gao Tong processors!
With ample production now, Gao Tong was also preparing to cooperate with Blue Factory and Green Factory, allowing the two phone manufacturers to use its high-end processors!
Historically, Gao Tong's partners had been Da Mi Company and San Xing. Previously, other domestic manufacturers' phones were equipped with Lian Fa Ke and Hua Xing Semiconductor processors!
However, the situation was now somewhat different. Hua Xing Semiconductor's strong rise had attracted attention and apprehension from many parties!
Previously, Hua Xing Semiconductor only designed chips, but after settling a multi-year lawsuit with Dutch ASMI last year!
Hua Xing Semiconductor had become a semiconductor manufacturer capable of producing and selling its own products!
Therefore, Gao Tong was now very concerned that Hua Xing Semiconductor would produce too many processors and compete for market share!
Taiwan's TSMC also had similar concerns!
Under these circumstances, the two could be said to have a common enemy!
So, they wanted to expand production capacity to squeeze Hua Xing Semiconductor's living space!
Therefore, Gao Tong's production capacity was rapidly increasing with the help of Taiwan's TSMC!
It could now genuinely export more processors to more phone manufacturers in Da Xia, instead of just selling to Da Mi Company alone!
"I didn't expect that the most affected by the cooperation between Blue Factory, Green Factory, and Gao Tong wouldn't be us, but Da Mi Company!"
Lu Haifeng wasn't too nervous about Gao Tong's sudden arrival. In his view, competition leads to progress!
The unhappiest one right now shouldn't be him, but Da Mi Company, which had always exclusively used Gao Tong's high-end processors in the country!
In Da Mi Company's conference room, Lei Jun's face was filled with worry!
The fact that Gao Tong had secretly reached a cooperation agreement with Blue Factory and Green Factory naturally couldn't be hidden from Lei Jun of Da Mi Company!
It could be said that Lei Jun was both troubled and helpless by this matter!
Logically speaking, Da Mi Company had always been Gao Tong's primary partner in Da Xia!
Da Mi Company's achievements were partly due to Gao Tong's contributions!
But now, Gao Tong was dividing its favor between Da Mi Company, Blue Factory and Green Factory, which only added to the already strained supply chain of Da Mi Company!
Had Gao Tong's love for Da Mi Company disappeared?
After receiving this news, Lei Jun's first thought was this!
The cooperation between Gao Tong, Blue Factory and Green Factory brought a significant crisis to Da Mi Company!
After all, Gao Tong's high-end flagship processor this year had already been produced in March and had sold 10 million units to Da Mi Company!
Da Mi Company's original plan was to use these processors in this year's Da Mi number series, the Da Mi 6!
However, the original plan was disrupted by one thing: a Da Mi Company executive in charge of integrating the industrial chain offended San Xing!
Da Mi Company, which had close cooperation with San Xing, instantly lost San Xing's support, making it impossible to produce the Da Mi 6 phone even now!
Now that Gao Tong had also reached a cooperation with Blue Factory and Green Factory, the advantage that Da Mi Company had in processors would disappear!
In the conference room, Lei Jun frowned and said to the executives below: "We need to launch the Da Mi 6 number series as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, our advantage will be lost!"
"For the screen, contact Sharp and Jingdongfang!"
Lei Jun realized that his number series could no longer be delayed like this!
If Blue Factory and Green Factory released phones equipped with Gao Tong's high-end flagship processors!
Then the 10 million Gao Tong flagship processors in his hands might be completely wasted!
Under these circumstances, Lei Jun abandoned his original plan to wait until around October to get high-quality screens before producing the phone!
Now, he planned to choose another way to produce the Da Mi phone!
Sharp had the ability to produce high-quality LCD screens!
Jingdongfang could produce OLED screens, but the quality of its screens was still some distance away from top manufacturers like San Xing!
Moreover, Jingdongfang's current OLED screen production capacity couldn't fully meet Da Mi Company's needs!
Under these circumstances, Da Mi Company could only focus on Sharp, which had absolute strength in LCD screens!
It could be said that Lei Jun planned to use two different materials of screens to produce the Da Mi 6 number series phone this time!
Of course, this move was a last resort for Lei Jun!
After all, Gao Tong had already cooperated with Blue Factory and Green Factory!
Now, the only thing Da Mi Company could do was to have the first release right and the exclusive period of this processor to gain market recognition!
Da Mi Company executives, upon hearing Lei Jun's words, although knowing that doing so might affect the overall level of the phone!
They also understood that if they didn't do so, the final result might very likely cause Da Mi Company to lose its preemptive advantage!
Let Da Mi Company gradually lose its advantage in the phone market, thereby losing a very large market and profit!
This result was a fact that Da Mi Company couldn't accept!
So, two days later, Da Mi Company's Weibo instantly topped the trending list!
"July 25th, the Da Mi 6 number series phone is coming soon!"
Da Mi Company's negotiation team was still very strong. It only took two days to reach a cooperation agreement with Sharp and Jingdongfang!
And Da Mi Company quickly began preheating its products!
It could be said that this time, Da Mi Company didn't have much time to produce phones before the release!
"I didn't expect Da Mi Company to launch the Da Mi 6 number series phone at this time!"
In Hua Xing Technology, Lu Haifeng looked at the news released by Da Mi Company in the office, and a surprised expression appeared on his face!
The Da Mi Company in this world encountered the same problems as the Da Mi Company in his previous life!
In his previous life, Da Mi Company didn't release a new Da Mi number series phone for the entire year because of this!
