Chapter 203 Use barbarians to control barbarians, kill Lao Huang with a sword

Wang Yi became interested: "Is it really cheaper than NVIDIA Tegra3?"

"That's right, the price of Qualcomm's quad-core flagship processor will not be higher than the price Nvidia will give you in the same period next year!" Jacob promised.

With Nvidia as a troublemaker, Qualcomm doesn’t dare to sell it at a high price!

"Happy cooperation!" Wang Yi happily agreed.

"Happy cooperation!"

Subsequently, the two parties finalized other cooperation details and signed the contract again.

The two sides agreed:

In early February, early March, early August, and early September next year, Qualcomm will deliver 13 million flagship baseband chips to Xingyi Technology at a unit price of $250 each, for a total of 1000 million!

In August and September next year, Qualcomm will deliver 3 million APQ250 chips to Xingyi Technology at a price no higher than Nvidia Tegra8064, for a total of 500 million.

For each batch of goods, Xingyi Technology needs to pay the full amount half a month in advance.

If either party breaches the contract, it must pay a penalty of 10% of the default order!

This deal includes a total of 500 million quad-core chips and 1000 million basebands, with a total price of about US$ million.

The liquidated damages alone are 2000 million dollars, nearly 1.3 million yuan.

If neither party wants to pay the liquidated damages, then the contract will only proceed smoothly.

Of course, there is another clause in the contract. The above purchase price includes all patent licensing fees from Qualcomm to Xingyi Technology, and no other taxes and fees are allowed!

Even if Qualcomm does not collect Qualcomm tax from Xia Guo mobile phone companies at this stage, Wang Yi has to guard against it.

If Qualcomm sees that Wang Yi sells more mobile phones and makes more money, and becomes jealous and wants to collect Qualcomm tax in advance, Wang Yi will cry.

All we can do is prepare more.

In addition, Qualcomm must ensure that the first batch of APQ8064 chips will be given priority to Xingyi Technology!

That’s right, Xiaomi 2’s Qualcomm quad-core chip was launched for the first time, and Wang Yi grabbed it!

It will be even more complete if it grabs the first launch of HTC's global quad-core processor.

This cooperation ended successfully.

Even the baseband that NVIDIA’s quad-core chips will be short of in the first half of next year is available, and it’s still a beautiful price!

Wang Yi has gained a lot.

As for the specific price of Qualcomm's quad-core chips in the second half of next year, Wang Yi is not worried and may even be surprised.

For any product, eat the meat in the front and the soup in the back!

Nvidia Tegra3, the world's first quad-core processor, can be purchased in small quantities in February next year for $2 each.

Wang Yi purchased in bulk at the level of five million, priced at $25 each.

Prices will only continue to drop in the future.

By August next year, the price of Tegra3 is expected to drop to 20-25 dollars a piece.

Even if Qualcomm APQ8064 has stronger performance and will not be launched until August next year, the price will not be high.

It is estimated to be similar to the price of Nvidia Tegra3 in August, which is 20-25 dollars.

If it's too expensive, everyone will buy NVIDIA, but who wants Qualcomm?

What's more, the two parties agreed that the price Qualcomm would pay Wang Yi would not be higher than Nvidia's, so there is hope!

Based on Wang Yi’s understanding of Lao Huang, in order to disgust Qualcomm, Lao Huang might start a price war!

Before Qualcomm’s quad-core goes on the market, Nvidia directly cuts prices!

For bulk purchases, Tegra3 costs just $15!

If this is the case, Qualcomm will be uncomfortable. It can't sell it at a high price, and it will have to sell it for 15-20 dollars!

It's just that Tegra 3 was sold at a high price before, and the money has been made, and the cost has already been reduced. Even if the price is reduced, there is still some profit.

But Qualcomm's quad-core was sold at a low price just after it was released, which is really uncomfortable.

One step behind, every step behind!

But it will be cheaper for Wang Yi then!

According to the contract, Qualcomm's price must not be higher than Nvidia's, and the price given to Wang Yi can only be $15, or even lower.

If Qualcomm sells at a high price, it is a breach of contract!

Not only could Wang Yi earn a sky-high liquidated damages, but he could also turn around and place an order for the cheaper NVIDIA Tegra3!

For the same quad-core processor, even if Qualcomm APQ8064 is stronger, the difference is not big, and the cost ranks first!

In order to compete with Qualcomm, Lao Huang did not use much skill on Tegra3, which is considered the most conscientious chip of Nvidia.

But on Tegra4, Lao Huang's sword skills are amazing.

Not only did it kill Xiaomi and HTC that used Tegra4, but it also killed Nvidia's mobile chip business!

Since Tegra4, no mobile phone manufacturer dares to use Nvidia chips...

It can only be said that Old Huang's sword skills are really fierce. When he becomes ruthless, he won't even let himself go.

Wang Yi made up his mind to find time to have a good chat with Lao Huang about the research and development of Tegra 4. Use less knife skills, practice them and cherish them!

Don't kill yourself to death like in the previous life...

Once there is no suppression from NVIDIA, Texas Instruments also withdraws, Intel fails to live up to expectations, and MediaTek is still in the low-end and mid-range, then Qualcomm will really monopolize the market, and it will be really lawless!

At that time, let alone lowering prices, Qualcomm chips would continue to increase in price, and Qualcomm taxes were already arranged!

After much thought, Wang Yi still needs NVIDIA mobile chips to survive and suppress Qualcomm!

Of course, the most reliable thing is to implement self-research on chips!

Otherwise, Nvidia will be in decline in the future, and a Qualcomm chip will be sold for more than a thousand, and the Qualcomm tax will be several hundred more...

All the profits from the Xingyi mobile phone were made by Qualcomm, and Wang Yi became a part-time worker for Qualcomm!

This was the case in the mobile phone industry in the previous life. Xiaomi and OV sold a mobile phone for 3000-4000 yuan. Xiaomi and OV could not make a few hundred yuan, while Qualcomm made a huge profit of 1500 yuan!

There's nothing to argue with!

Domestic mobile phone brands work hard, but in the end, they are all working for Qualcomm!

Wang Yi doesn't want this.

The only way out is to be like Huawei and implement self-research on chips.

Of course, with self-developed chips and OEM production, the cost of chips is lower, but the investment in R&D is also large, so it is impossible to sell it at a low price.

Instead, we have to continue to sell high-end products, which is impossible to do.

For example, HiSilicon's annual R&D investment of tens of billions is money, and it has to be spread on each chip!

It seems that chip research and development is imminent!

Wang Yi has a plan in mind. He will go to Texas Instruments to recruit people tomorrow!

In the evening, Lao Huang invited Wang Yi to have a meal again.

Lao Huang sighed when he learned that Wang Yi had ordered a Qualcomm dual-core chip.

But thinking that he had also won a large order for five million quad-core chips, Huang became excited again.

During the dinner, the two talked about many technical issues of the processor.

In order for Wang Yi to continue purchasing the next generation Tegra4, Huang started touting:

"Director Wang, our Tegra4 is a performance monster. It is expected to be launched in the first half of the next year and can still crush Qualcomm's flagships of the same generation. You must support it!"

Wang Yi laughed dumbly, "If I were not a reborn person, I would really believe your evil deeds!" '

The Tegra4 of the year after tomorrow will not be equipped with Qualcomm 800 shoes!

Totally unworthy!

On the contrary, it is the most overturned one.

Wang Yi decided to help Huang, otherwise Tegra4 will overturn, Nvidia will withdraw from the mobile chip market, and no one will be able to suppress Qualcomm!
