Chapter 390: Xia Guo Technology's Achilles heel

The ban on the sale of chips has already been considered a big move of the United States. On the basis of the ban on the sale of chips, the use of Android is basically banned. The basic thing is to capture the seven inches of Xiaomi's mobile phones and make them unable to move.
Miguo also gave Xiaomi a way of life, and "Abandoning the Dark and Casting the Light" returned to the embrace of Miguo with the Pangu Technology Cooperation Agreement (certificate of approval).
Mi Guo likes obedient technology companies, but not creative and thoughtful technology companies.
This time, this is the reason for differentiating Xia Guo's technology companies.
Also using Qualcomm chips and Android systems, O, V and other manufacturers will be fine. The production and sales of this production can even be sold to the United States with great fanfare and advertised in Times Square.
But Warwick and Xiaomi can't.
why?
Because O and V manufacturers are more obedient, although they are also in direct competition with mobile phones and Apple, in the eyes of the Mi people, these two companies are just assembly and processing plants, which can not pose any threat to Mi Guo technology.
O and V do not master any core technology. Today, the country can let O and V make money in Xia Guo and the world, and tomorrow they can let them go bankrupt immediately. The reason why O and V are ignored is because Qualcomm and other Mi-tech companies also need to ship, need revenue, and need to make money.
Warwick and Xiaomi are not the same. After selling Qualcomm chips and other communications electronic equipment to these two companies, it will indeed generate trade volume, and the country will indeed make money. However, these two companies cooperate with Pangu Science and Technology, and like Pangu Science and Technology, they want to innovate and have the idea of ​​challenging the authority of Miguo.
If you want to innovate, you can innovate your ads, consider which celebrity endorsements, or innocent things such as the design of the mobile phone, the location of the camera, etc., as long as it does not threaten the technological hegemony of the country.
However, the two Pangu science and technology companies are not good at innovation. They need to innovate chips, systems, and communications. These are the bans of the country.
If you don't clean up, who will you clean up?
After the rice ban, Xia Guo's technology company presented a two-fold fire.
On the one hand, after a period of decline in sales of O and V mobile phones, they picked up again, and their sales exceeded Xiaomi, ranking third and fourth in Xia Kingdom.
The increase in sales this time is mainly due to low-end and mid-range phones, because Xiaomi and Warwick's mid- and low-end phones cannot be produced after they cannot obtain Android licenses.
All three models that Xiaomi intends to launch, a total of 13 million mobile phones, have stopped the foundry due to the inability to import mobile phone components such as chips. Both Xiaomi and the foundry have suffered heavy losses.
The low-end and mid-range phones that have already been announced have made promises to consumers, which is a major blow.
Apple, which was about to die in the Xia Kingdom market, jumped to the second place in sales overnight, and Samsung, which was already dead, jumped to the fifth place in sales.
"If we don't take another approach! The profit we are facing is falling, and the resulting break in cash flow is unbearable!"
Yanjing Xiaomi Headquarters, after the communication with the rice side was invalid, a high-level emergency meeting was held to find a way.
"In terms of chips, we immediately contacted MediaTek and replaced them with Qualcomm's chips. In terms of systems, we can use a low-profile version of the Tiangong system. We still have a certain inventory of other components, so that we can complete orders of about 7 million red microphones. , Will not let the entire series of mobile phones collectively make an appointment. "
Because it is a low-end model, it is necessary to control costs, so in terms of chips, Xiaomi dare not consider Prajna.
After the headquarters meeting was settled, Xiaomi contacted MediaTek immediately, hoping to get support.
Xiaomi's negotiating team even came to Yizhou MediaTek headquarters to apply for a chip.
However, MediaTek seems to have received pressure from the United States, and rejected Xiaomi's request on the ground that the inventory was insufficient and the order required a period of six months to one year.
Xiaomi negotiator: "I remember we purchased from your company the previous year, and your company has guaranteed your production capacity."
"Sorry, there is really not enough capacity."
The most shameful scene in Xia Guo's history of science and technology appeared.
The Xiaomi mobile phone that Xia Guo ranked second in sales and the fourth in global sales thought that it was coreless, and the entire low-end and middle-end mobile phone production fell into a state of shock, and the supply time was distant.
Several local companies in Xia Kingdom, similar to Foxconn's mobile phone manufacturer for Xiaomi, declared bankruptcy because of a broken capital chain.
Xiaomi herself, if it is not supported by high-end mobile phones (Prajo chip + Tiangong system), is likely to be unable to die like those OEM companies.
For a time, everyone in Xia Guo's technology industry and mobile phone-related processing operations was at risk.
O, V, Meizu and other manufacturers have taken the time to sign huge orders with Qualcomm and MediaTek to prepare all the chips for the coming year.
Qualcomm severely killed Xia Guo manufacturers, and the chip price increased by 10%.
10% also buy, who can't produce it by themselves.
The thing that made Xiaomi most angry was MediaTek. Only a few days ago, after saying that there was no stock and no stock, he immediately sold the goods to other companies in Xia Guo. Isn't this a gimmick? !!
Many people pushed against the wall. In the face of benefits, it is normal for major companies to make such choices in order to survive. Xiaomi will not blame MediaTek, nor will it blame O and V vendors.
The only thing Xiaomi has to blame is that she didn't innovate and make efforts in independent research and development.
When Mi Guo sanctioned Warwick, Xiaomi herself was sulking in buying Qualcomm chips, which is not fundamentally different from today's O and V.
The critical situation of Xiaomi held a press conference.
At the meeting, Xiaomi's press spokesman said: "Because of well-known reasons, some of our mobile phone products cannot be produced and sold ... but please rest assured that all Xiaomi employees will work together to overcome difficulties ... we will never Succumb to some forces. Adhering to independent innovation will be the only road for Xiaomi in the future ... "
The speech is undoubtedly tragic ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It is moving, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem.
But Xiaomi also issued a strong signal to the outside world. Since everyone was in trouble, they would die to the end.
In contrast, Warwick is much better.
The chip problem of low-end and middle-end mobile phones can be solved by Warwick's own HiSilicon, and the system problem can be solved by Tiangong.
Although this has led to a huge decline in the output and cost of Warwick's mid- and low-end mobile phones, and the export of Warwick equipment has been blocked, at least it can survive.
Xia Guo's entire technology industry, including the media, shook. Everyone did not expect that Xiaomi and Warwick, who are proud of themselves, are actually more vulnerable.
Especially Xiaomi, the lifeblood is basically in the hands of the Mi people, letting you give birth to you, letting you die, you have to be disabled for life.
Pangu Technology is silently paying attention to all this, Lin Li and Xu Limin have been discussing the response strategy with the technical team in an emergency.
