Chapter 164 Huawei's Order

"Okay, but you still need to do something to prove yourself!"

Tong Hao saw that Lu Weibing was still very serious about this matter, and understood that this matter was of great significance to Lu Weibing.

If the Peak series really becomes a brand, then Lu Weibing will naturally become the person in charge of the brand, and his rights will be increased by then, and there is even no need to apply to Tong Hao for some things.

"you say!"

Lu Weibing didn't feel too much resistance to the appearance of his chairman's request. After all, if he wanted to truly make the Pinnacle series a new brand, there would naturally be so-called tests.

Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Tong Hao directly stated his request: "Before March, release a new flagship mobile phone! And this time I will not interfere too much in the design and production of the mobile phone!"

A new flagship phone in production in March?
Lu Weibing heard the request made by the chairman of his company. Although he was surprised by such a request, he thought about it carefully and felt that the request of the chairman of his company was reasonable.

A brand needs multiple series of products, and the current peak series only has a production line of digital products.

And if you want to become a real brand, you can't just rely on a product line.

After thinking for a while, Lu Weibing nodded and agreed to the test proposed by his chairman.

It is not an easy task to produce another new flagship product in March.

From design to production to sales, the time left for him is only five months. Counting the time of Chinese New Year, the time given to him is only a little more than four months.

In other words, Lu Weibing needs to design the style of this mobile phone years ago and obtain the accessories provided by the supplier, and then needs to start producing new mobile phones a year later.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Tong Hao didn't say anything more.

Obviously, the request made this time is to test Lu Weibing's strength on the one hand, and to consider the future of Peak on the other hand.

It can be said that the current top Android manufacturers, the mobile phones they produce are basically a one-year dual-flagship model.

As the top Android mobile phone manufacturer, Samsung has two flagship series.

They are the S-series flagship released in the first half of the year, which focuses on fashion; and the note series, which focuses on business flagships, in the second half of the year.

As a domestic Android manufacturer with scientific research strength, Huawei also has a dual-flagship solution like Samsung.

The P series mobile phones are fashion flagships released for the mobile phone market in the first half of the year, while the mate series are comprehensive flagships for the second half of the year.

In the future, Tong Hao not only hopes that the brand of Peak will grow bigger and bigger, but also hopes that he can achieve two flagships a year.

After this evening's conversation, Lu Weibing also put all his energy into his new job.

As for the sales of the third-generation phone series, the overall situation has basically been decided, and Lu Weibing doesn't need to worry too much about it. It can be said that this year's Android flagship sales champion is basically the third-generation mobile phone.

On the second day after the mobile phone was released, the third-generation mobile phone Pro of the Peak was sold out directly online, and the heat of the first round of sales also dissipated with the time of the first release.

On the second day, the sales volume of the third generation of peak mobile phones also gradually changed from hot to calm, and the online sales also dropped directly from 300 million yesterday to 80.

The company has already predicted such a result, and Tong Hao is not too worried, after all, the configuration of this product is not afraid that it will not be sold.

The overall sales situation has basically been decided, and now Tong Hao's focus has also shifted from the third generation of Peak mobile phones to Huateng Company.

On October 20th, the recent lithography machine from the Netherlands has finally been assembled in Huateng's dust-free workshop and can be officially put into production.

This also means that the output of Huateng's products has reached a certain level, and it can formally accept orders from other companies.

To Tong Hao's surprise, the first person to apply for an order from Huateng was none other than Tianyu's old rival, Huawei.

The order Huawei placed this time is to produce 2000 million mid-range processor chips made with the new 10nm process.

Although Huawei can design its own processor chips, it does not have the conditions to produce processors, so it can only pay for other manufacturers to produce them.

This time, Huawei did not hand over the order for processor chips to TSMC or other chip processor foundries.

This is naturally a certain consideration of Huawei.

In Huawei's view, although Huateng has been established for a short time, its production technology is still relatively good. Judging from the mobile phones released by Tianyu, Huateng is not weaker than TSMC at all.

Moreover, the cost of the processor chips manufactured by Huateng is 5% cheaper than that of TSMC. In this case, Huawei is willing to save part of the money and hand over the goods to Huateng for production.

There is another deep-seated reason why Huawei chose to place an order with Huateng.

Although Huateng is an important partner of Huawei's rival Tianyu, Huawei believes that placing an order can reduce Huateng's supply of processor chips to Tianyu.

Use this method to reduce the shipments of mobile phones of rival companies, so as to take advantage of this opportunity to seize part of the mobile phone market.

"Now if the company is fully committed to producing ten-nanometer processors, basically how many processor chips can be produced in a month!"

Regarding the order that Huawei placed with the company, Tong Hao did not choose to directly refuse, after all, the business delivered to him cannot be missed in vain.

According to the current cost of foundry, each time they help them produce a processor chip, the other party needs to pay Huateng more than 300 yuan.

This kind of income is also a big number, of course, the premise is that it does not affect the production of the company's processing agent chips.

"Now the company is basically very proficient in the process of 10-nanometer processor chips, and the yield rate can basically be maintained above 98%. Basically, the production line that has been added now can produce 4000 million such processor chips a month. Not a problem!"

"However, the company has recently received orders for other chips. I am afraid it can be used to produce processor chips. The lithography machine can only produce half of the quantity, that is, it can produce 2000 million processor chips a month!"

It's not that Zhang Rujin is well aware of the company's current production situation. Although it is not as good as TSMC, it can supply billions of chips and nearly one billion mobile phone processor chips a year.

But relying on the company's current production line, it can also produce more than one billion chips a year, as well as two to three billion mobile phone processor chips.

To be honest, this kind of production quantity is completely sufficient for Tianyu Company, and it is even more than enough.

After all, according to the current mobile phone market in Huaguo, based on the annual sales of mobile phones, basically the number of mobile phones shipped in a year is only nearly [-] million units.

However, according to the current level of development of Tianyu Company and the strength of OEM assembly plants and screen camera and other accessory suppliers that can be contacted, it can only ship nearly [-] million mobile phones a year at most.

In other words, the current Huateng Company only needs to reserve half of the processor chip production position for Tianyu Company, which can ensure that Tianyu Company has enough processor chips for the production of mobile phones.

"Huawei can accept this order, but the production still needs to be delayed until the end of December..."

Tong Hao is not only the chairman of a mobile phone company, but also the chairman of a semiconductor company, and also the chairman of a screen company.

As for making money, as long as there is no cooperation that directly damages the interests of his other industries, to be honest, he can choose to cooperate.

After all, these cooperations have a lot of money, and no company or chairman will refuse money.
