I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 582 I've finished speaking. Who agrees? Who disagrees? Ban Qualcomm! Huang Renxun: I'm here to sell!

The next morning, Cao Dahua received a notification: the processors of the Orange C4 series would be replaced with Tegra 4H, and the Snapdragon 800 processor would no longer be used.

Orange Technology and Qualcomm had another falling out the month after signing a cross-patent agreement.

When Nvidia's Huang Renxun learned of this, he was overjoyed.

Seeing this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he quickly asked his secretary to book a plane ticket so he could go to China again to meet with the heads of companies such as Orange Technology, Huawei, Coolpad, and Lenovo.

The price of the Tegra 4H must be reduced by another 10%!

He wants to seize more market share from Qualcomm!
MediaTek's Zhang Weili is also making moves. He is from Taiwan and knows better than Huang Renxun about the dirty dealings between Qualcomm and Tiangong.

Therefore, he speculates that Orange Technology and its many subsidiaries will most likely abandon Snapdragon processors in the coming year.

The orders that Qualcomm lost will be taken by whoever gets them!

For a time, Zhang Weili and Huang Renxun were both rushing towards the virtual city.

Who wouldn't be tempted by a purchase order of at least 1 million chips and 20 billion US dollars a year?
……

……

Inside the office on the top floor of Building 9 in Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.

Chen Yansen sat at his desk and said to the camera, "Mr. Lei, is there a problem with replacing all the processors in the Xiaomi 3 with Tegra 4s?"

The LED screen directly in front displays images of Lei Yijun, Zhou Hongyi, Ding Lei, Wu Hongxin, and Jia Yaoting.

It was clear that the six people were having a video conference.

Lei Yijun never expected that Chen Yansen would dare to block Qualcomm and cancel the use of Snapdragon processors on a large scale.

He was faced with only two paths:
First, they bet on Senlian Capital to win, fully siding with Chen Yansen and supporting Orange Technology with concrete actions, kicking the Snapdragon processor off Xiaomi's hardware list;
Secondly, this opportunity will allow them to deepen their cooperation with Qualcomm, thereby obtaining patent licenses and a share of chip supply from the latter.

But then he thought again that, given Chen Yansen's vengeful nature, if Xiaomi chose to betray him, it would have to bear the wrath and retaliation of Senlian Capital.

At that time, Xiao Ai voice assistant and Xiao Ai speaker will be useless!
Forget about using Aurora Future OS operating system, fast charging technology, photography algorithms, battery management technology, and Deep Blue Battery!

In just three seconds, Lei Yijun's thoughts raced, and then he said seriously, "President Chen, whatever you say, Xiaomi will do!"

"I know it's inappropriate to involve you all because of the conflict between Tiangong Technology and Qualcomm, but your five companies have the closest cooperation with Tiangong and Orange Technology and have received the most resources and support."

Therefore, my demand is: starting immediately, reduce Qualcomm's chip purchase orders to zero!
I've finished speaking. Please feel free to raise any different opinions.

Chen Yansen leaned back and said with a cold expression.

None of them were stupid; they naturally understood the subtext in Chen Yansen's words: anyone who dares to disagree will be beaten!
Given Senlian Capital's influence and distribution channels, anyone who dares to invest in Qualcomm will either have to build their own online sales channels or choose Tmall.

Forget about Pinduoduo, JD.com, and KuaiPao Flash Sale!

"Mr. Chen, 360 has always followed Orange Technology's lead. Qualcomm is nothing, let's fucking get them!"

Zhou Hongyi tugged at the stand-up collar of his red polo shirt and responded in an unfriendly tone.

He knew perfectly well what kind of product 360 Mobile was.

Once it loses the support of Orange Technology, it will immediately fall back to its original state and become a third-rate mobile phone brand, alongside brands like Nica, Newman, and Ramos.

Moreover, MediaTek offers excellent value for money in the low-to-mid-range processor market, while Nvidia's Tegra 4H performs just as well as the Snapdragon 800 in the mid-to-high-end market.

You can tell from the sales figures of Orange C4!
It doesn't matter whose processor you use; Qualcomm's products are good, but they are not unique or exclusive.

In other words, Paul overestimated Qualcomm's position in China.

"Mr. Chen, I have no objection. The Tegra 4H's gaming performance is slightly better than the Snapdragon 800. Mid-to-low-end models can use MediaTek's MT6589 and MT6599. Does Paul Jacob really think that Chinese smartphones can't function without Qualcomm?"

Ding Lei pushed up his glasses and sneered.

Although his words were the result of weighing the pros and cons, he would still support Tiangong Technology if he had to choose between Qualcomm and Tiangong Technology.

After all, Chen Yansen really gave him a boost in the mobile phone business. Last year, NetEase sold 1040 million mobile phones, successfully ranking among the top ten smartphone shipments in China, which made quite a splash.

Subsequently, Wu Hongxin and Jia Yaoting also expressed their opinions.

Personal relationships are one aspect, while the strength of Senlian Capital is another.

Which of the following can be abandoned: Aurora Future OS operating system, Deep Blue Battery, and photography algorithm?

On the contrary, Snapdragon processors have the most alternatives!
Chen Yansen nodded, gave a few instructions, and then voluntarily ended the video conference.

The Tiangong B100 and Tiangong C100 are about to be launched, and will be compared with the Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 600 series respectively.

The capacity issues of the 28nm process can also be solved by GlobalFoundries and UMC.

Although the manufacturing processes of these two companies are not as advanced as those of TSMC in Taiwan, and the cost of a single processor is 5% to 10% higher, the cooperation model of using multiple foundries can reduce dependence on a single foundry.

With the coordinated action launched by the six mobile phone brands, domestic mobile phone users quickly realized something was wrong.

The Snapdragon processor-equipped phone version sold out and was never restocked. In contrast, the Tegra 4H and MT6599 versions have always been in stock.

Finally, Pinduoduo and JD.com simply removed the Snapdragon version SKU from their listings, clearly indicating they no longer intended to sell it.

"What's going on? Has Qualcomm cut off supplies to all Chinese smartphone manufacturers?"

"No way? Lenovo, Coolpad, OPPO, and Meizu all have models equipped with Snapdragon processors in stock!"

"It's probably a problem with TSMC's production capacity in Taiwan."

Netizens discussed it heatedly, speculating wildly.

At noon, Orange Mobile's official Weibo account posted an update: "To ensure users get the best performance and operating experience, we will adjust the supply chain, and all Orange series models will no longer use Snapdragon processors."

While terminating the cooperation, they also took a jab at Qualcomm.

The implication is that the Snapdragon series' performance and power consumption were inadequate, leading to its 'optimization' and elimination by Orange Technology.

小米、360、网易、美图和乐视五大手机品牌，相继发布声明，将用天工 B100、Tegra 4H和MT6599替换骁龙800，用天工 C100、Tegra 3和MT6572替换骁龙600。

In a single day, six major mobile phone brands, which account for nearly 40% of the domestic smartphone market, all abandoned Qualcomm.

Even if people are slow to react, they know that something big has happened.

Has Senlian Capital and Qualcomm fallen out again?
This is many people's first reaction!

But no one knows the specific reason.

Until someone anonymously exposed: "Qualcomm forced TSMC in Taiwan to cut off supplies to Tiangong Technology, reportedly by cutting its supply share by 20%, but Mr. Chen immediately reduced the orders by 40% and turned to GlobalFoundries and United Microelectronics Corporation."

Netizens then suddenly realized!

It turns out it was because of the Tiangong B100 and Tiangong C100.

Chen Yansen's decision to join forces with five major mobile phone manufacturers and choose not to cooperate has been met with satisfaction from netizens.

In the past, the news they heard most often was about which mobile phone manufacturers would visit each other's homes, drink with them, and express their gratitude in order to obtain a chip supply quota.

This is the first time I've seen mobile phone manufacturers join forces to block foreign semiconductor giants; it's truly inspiring!
"As expected of Brother Sen, I support Orange Technology to fight to the end!"

"To be fair, the performance of the Tegra 4H has long surpassed that of the Snapdragon 800. The SPEC association has conducted performance comparison tests, and the Snapdragon 800's SPECint score is 762, while the Tegra 4H's is 928."

"Tiangong A100 is the king, with a SPECint score of 1379! No wonder it's selling so well in the European and American markets!"

"To be frank, the development of our semiconductor industry is indeed not as good as that of Europe and the United States. There is not even a single fab factory in China that can mass-produce 28-nanometer chips."

"Yeah, if TSMC, GlobalFoundries, and UMC join forces, even if Brother Sen is tough, he'll have to back down."

"It's all Huaxin International's fault. They've received so much technology, funding, and policy support over the years, yet they can't even get the 28-nanometer process right! Other companies have a 99% yield rate, but Huaxin International is even worse, with less than 30%. They're a complete waste."

As netizens discussed the matter, they eventually turned their criticism towards Huaxin International.

I'm angry at their lack of ambition, and I hate that they don't do anything!
Liu Xunfeng, who was far away in Shanghai, was caught in the crossfire and was repeatedly criticized by netizens.

On March 19th, Senlian Capital and Qualcomm went to war!
The market landscape for mobile processors in China is also quietly changing.

Although Qualcomm has found a new partner, the processor is only one of the factors that users consider when buying a smartphone.

The screen's display quality, battery life, system smoothness, and even the brand's after-sales service all influence consumers' final choices.

Even though Qualcomm quickly filled the gaps in its partner network, rebuilding market trust is not something that can be done overnight.

The Snapdragon 810, in particular, has earned the nickname "Big Fire Dragon" due to its poor power consumption control and severe overheating, reaching temperatures high enough to fry an egg.

Qualcomm used to dominate half of China's mid-to-high-end chip market, but now the situation is becoming increasingly uncertain.

When Huang Renxun got off the plane at Yanjing Airport, he bluntly told reporters that he had come here to sell!

In an instant, flashes went off one after another as reporters shoved microphones at him, asking, "Mr. Huang, do you mean that Nvidia is going to increase its investment in the Chinese market for its Tegra series processors?"

Huang Renxun raised his hand to signal the reporter to calm down, a confident smile on his face: "Of course we're selling our Tegra 4H processor! It has stronger performance, lower power consumption, better graphics processing performance, and extremely strong performance in games."

After saying that, Lao Huang couldn't wait to give a demonstration of the features on the spot.

Unfortunately, in recent years, Tegra products have suffered repeated setbacks, and Qualcomm has been suppressing them so much that they can't even lift their heads.

He was not about to let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by.

the other side.

After making his arrangements, Chen Yansen put Qualcomm's provocations out of his mind.

After months of preparation, Cheng Zilong finally delivered the engineering version of the Orange MT300 to Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.

As the name suggests, this is an electric motorcycle with a range of 300 kilometers.
