Chapter 712 Correspondence between Qualcomm and Taipei

Once the news of the establishment of the Domestic Chip Defense Alliance is announced, there will be a hustle and bustle in the domestic and even global chip and mobile phone industries, and many online friends will discuss this.

“Bullshit, the domestic mobile phone industry has formed a chip defense alliance after the Huichuang Patent League, which is the take-off rhythm!"

“Yeah, that's great. At last, domestic mobile phone manufacturers don't have to lick Qualcomm like dogs. ”

“I see that this is all thanks to Fang's richest. The Huichuang Patent League established in the previous few years has not said anything. This time, it is also the Huichuang Patent League that pushed behind it. All domestic mobile phone brands promised to join the Chip Attack League. ”

“Fang Zhe, with his own efforts, has raised the half-wall of the domestic science and technology industry!"

“Yes, Fang Zhejiu is pushy, but I don't know. What will QUALCOMM and Taiwan Television react to this news?"

What kind of reaction? When Qualcomm and Taiwan Electric's senior management learned of the news, it was naturally the gas lungs that blew up.

“These Chinamen only took our $1 billion two months ago, and only a few days ago they turned their faces and didn't recognize anyone. They have no credibility at all, f * * *!"

Silicon Valley, Qualcomm headquarters, Qualcomm just left last March CEO Steve Molenkov jumped violently scolding.

“Mr. Molenkov, you are mistaken. It was the Chinese government that took our $1 billion two months ago. Now in this chip defense alliance, it is only the Chinese national enterprises that organized themselves. There is no connection between them. Of course, it is not excluded that there is Chinese government support behind this. You have also experienced before that. In China, everything needs to be done with a government background. ”

Derek Aboley, President of Qualcomm, who had met with Fang Zhe, patiently explained to him that Aboley had traveled around China for half a year since the beginning of last year to solve Qualcomm's anti-monopoly investigation in China, thus understanding many of China's doorways and subtle rules.

“All the same, they all wear a pair of pants, and if we hadn't given them chips over the years, would they have grown so well?

Ten years ago, the entire Chinese mobile phone market was dominated by Nokia and other non-Chinese brands.

Now, with our help, these Chinese mobile brands have won more than 40% of the global market and are expanding rapidly, and they are now teaming up against us, f * * *, these unfamiliar white eyes. ”

Molenkov broke his mouth and yelled.

Aberli shrugged without hesitation. This is the case with the mall. Without permanent friends, there is only eternal interest. If Qualcomm is given enough interest, Qualcomm will not hesitate to betray its closest partners or allies.

Molenkov scolded and groaned for a while before slowly calming down. He could sit in the seat of Qualcomm CEO. Naturally, he was not just an angry fool. Now, accept reality and come up with a countermeasure. It was his CEO who should do it.

“Abbott, what's your idea?"

“I think we can adopt the tactics of fragmentation and breakdown, pick a mobile phone manufacturer in this alliance that has enough weight to pull them together, give enough temptation and benefits, force it to leave the alliance, just one mobile phone manufacturer to leave, other manufacturers in order not to be behind, can only come back to us again as before, and then this alliance's natural name will exist, and will not attack itself!"

Molenkopf's eyes shined. Abori's idea. Wonderful!

With his knowledge of the Chinese personality, these guys fight better than any other ethnic group. Just don't let these Chinese mobile phone manufacturers unite, and the initiative will still be in their hands.

“Which Chinese mobile phone manufacturer do you think should be pulled in?" asked Molenkov.

“vivo!" Abori gave a long-thinking answer.

Without waiting for the boss to ask, he explained: "The mobile brands with the name 5 on the Chinese market are Xiaomi, Huawei, Apple, Oppo, Vivo. Except for Apple, the remaining four are Chinese mobile brands, and they are all members of this chip defense alliance.

Xiaomi has a close relationship with the Huichuang Patent Alliance and the large shareholders behind it, Huichuang's founder Fang Zhe, etc. According to the information I received, the establishment of this chip defense alliance was promoted by Huichuang Patent Alliance and even Huichuang and Fang Zhe. Xiaomi was also the first Chinese mobile phone manufacturer to join the alliance, so it is difficult for us to convince Xiaomi to leave the alliance.

Huawei, the second-largest player, has been working on the chip itself. Its ambition is great. It is a potentially powerful competitor of Qualcomm. We pull it together, undoubtedly with the tiger.

In the third and fourth opponents and vivo, the market share does not differ significantly, and behind them is the same boss, pulling any of them together is no different from pulling the other one, so I think we should pull vivo together. ”

Abori's reasoning was very satisfactory to Molenkov, and would have been perfect if his idea had succeeded again.

“What do you think we should do for vivo?" Molenkov has moved on.

“I feel that Vivo should be given two percentage points separately on the previous fee scale, in addition to signing a two-year contract with them for the first issue and use of Qualcomm chips!" Abolish advised.

“Oh, two points? You despise these Chinese too much, giving them half a point is enough for them to betray their allies, let's be generous, give up one point, if it's a contract, just sign it for a year. If this alliance is dissolved in less than six months, isn't it stupid for us to sign a two-year contract?"

Although Aberly realized that the supervisor's adjusted conditions were somewhat inappropriate, he also realized that he had a point. If the alliance had not collapsed after six months, they should have taken another approach.

Molenkov and Aberli, the two Qualcomm top handlers, when negotiating to deal with China's domestic mobile chip defense alliance, looked across the mainland from the sea, and Taiwan's high-ranking conference room was also fiercely noisy.

“It's too deceptive, this time we can't stand it anymore, and the mainland mobile phone manufacturers will definitely crawl onto our heads and pee!" said one of the executives of Taiwan Power Station angrily.

“Yes, we can't put up with it anymore. We've been sitting on mainland mobile phone manufacturers for years and we thought it would be good for us to make them bigger. But from last year, Zhongxin International suddenly cut off our orders from Qualcomm, and then dug a lot of technical backbones from us, even a while ago,

Even Shufujie has been dug up by them. This time they formed this chip defense alliance, obviously they want to control the bargaining power of the chip. We must not give them this opportunity! "

“Yes, absolutely not. I also heard that another purpose of their offensive alliance was to force chip design manufacturers such as Qualcomm and MediaTek to assign replacement orders to China Core International. If they really want to succeed, China Core International's technical level and R&D capabilities will definitely improve rapidly. It won't be necessary for 5-10 years, China Core International will catch up with or even exceed us!"

“Cell phone manufacturers on the continent account for more than 40% of the global market, and we can't just tear their faces off. ”

“Didn't say you were gonna rip your cheeks off, but think of a way to stop them and beat them up!"

“Yi, it's HTC and Asus, these brands are not powerful. They made smartphones so early, but the mainland is overwhelmed. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so passive if they didn't fight!"

The executives of Taiwan Television made a fuss in the conference room, until Zhang Lao, the founder and head of Taiwan Television, appeared, and their noisy arguments gradually quieted down.
