Chapter 298: Oolong reversal, money-giving boy, sky-high price order of US$13.07 billion!

The "Chipgate" incident is gradually fermenting on the Internet. The energy consumption, heat dissipation and battery life issues of LG G5 have become the biggest pain points plaguing consumers.

You must know that the price of this flagship smartphone in 2016 was as high as 828,000 Korean dollars, which is approximately equivalent to 4,388 Chinese dollars. Paying a high price but not enjoying equal service quality is a great injustice, and the buyer immediately felt

Pointed the finger at Haotong.

Previously, there have been no problems with the Snapdragon series chips purchased by LG Electronics.

Recently, Haotong has just updated its list of foundry service providers, supplying LG’s batch of Snapdragon 820 chips from Bay Semiconductor and Shanhai Microelectronics respectively.

Suddenly, these unlucky guys who had nowhere to vent subconsciously thought that Shanhai Microelectronics' production process was defective.

"Xipal! There must be something wrong with the quality of China's chips!"

"It is completely unreasonable for a low-level semiconductor company to announce three breakthroughs in process technology in just one year. The performance of their 14nm chips is probably not as good as Sanxing's 28nm!"

"..."

A Chinese international student saw this kind of remarks on the Korean BBS forum and couldn't help but get angry.

"Grandma, you dared to pour dirty water on Shanhai Microelectronics without investigating clearly. You are going too far!"

All in all, if you earn more than 3 million US dollars a year, you can be considered a top-notch worker in any region of the world.

Bay Island thousands of miles away.

Battery efficiency and energy-saving performance: battery life exceeds 7.2%;

Meng Haodong thought for a while and said.

Not long after, the secretary opened the door and walked in, smiling and saying: "Mr. Meng, I have made an appointment for you. Tomorrow, Shanhai Microelectronics Headquarters will be at 14:00."

In addition, for the upcoming Snapdragon 825, we can sign a contract first and wait for the R&D center to complete the design documents before starting production."

He Tingbo asked.

As the number of downloads of the software increased, the original mocking remarks somehow disappeared overnight.

"..."

"No problem, what about Snapdragon 625?"

Instead of relying on Wang Maosong for domestic business, Chen Heyu still needs to step up for international business.

Part of them discussed the signing fee, salary, bonus and stock policy, but received a ruthless rejection.

The big oolong incident completely reversed!

Netizens in Korea were silent, while netizens in China were elated. This is the first time that domestic chip technology has been recognized by the international market.

A former NVIDIA engineer, who had not worked at his job for three years, was still able to independently handle the 16-nanometer chip manufacturing process on a rudimentary basis.

Chen Heyu joked.

Meng Haodong pondered for a moment, sent the test report to the headquarters, and explained the whole story of this "chip gate".

"Contact Mr. Chen from Shanhai Microelectronics for me. I asked to meet with him."

This move is tantamount to a disguised admission that the Snapdragon 820 chip produced by Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has major flaws.

"Who doesn't love money?"

A novel about business war!

Chen Heyu smiled softly, patted Wu Maozhe on the shoulder and said, "Did the old fox leave your contact information?"

A few days ago, Shanhai Microelectronics was scolded on the Internet. Some netizens who did not know the truth viciously ridiculed and said that the face of domestic chips had been completely lost.

"Boss, Mr. Meng and the others have arrived, and Mr. Wang is receiving them."

"I tried to convince the board of directors, but I can't guarantee the outcome."

Even if you have technology, you will be blind without equipment!

"Keep it, if Haotong offers competitive conditions, I can readjust the salary and benefits system."

He looked furious, as if Shanhai Microelectronics had done something shameful.

"Thank you very much. Mr. Meng came and went in a hurry last time. This time I will treat him well and show my friendship as a landlord."

Chen Heyu smiled and invited the other party to attend his private dinner.

This dividend will be lost forever as soon as he resigns from Shanhai Microelectronics.

"You have a good idea. Did Mr. He hear that? If you have time, set up a headhunting company and poach Mr. Wu first. We can save more than a billion Chinese dollars a year."

"I don't believe that the video must have been edited!"

He will start in the electrical field and move into electronics, chips, automobiles, finance, energy, artificial intelligence and other related fields.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to bother you."

Including previous OEM orders from Apple and NVIDIA, the cumulative total is US$13.07 billion, which is only the business volume of six partners in overseas markets.

Meng Haodong of Haotong received the authoritative test report. Among the 1,000 samples, chips from Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Shanhai Microelectronics each accounted for 50%. They carried out extreme tests in various performance fields.

Network connection performance: 2.7% higher speed and stability

"How did they do it?"

There are 36,754 verified users of Snapdragon 820 WSMC and 3,769 verified users of Snapdragon 820 ShanHai, accounting for only 9.3%.

"Mosquito legs are also meat, not to mention that Shanhai Microelectronics has this technical strength. I believe Mr. Meng should have compared the process differences between us and Bay Semiconductor."

Zhang Zhimou contacted a major shareholder behind Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

Botong is the third company, with an order amount of US$1.79 billion!

Wu Maozhe showed no regrets and stuffed the business card into the trash can.

"Boss, do you think he will agree?"

"Mr. Meng, you're too polite. You came to deliver the order to Shanhai Microelectronics. It's too late for me to be happy, so why bother.

In the end, the rational debate turned into a war of words and a war of emoticons...

Meng Haodong did not agree in person, but could not help but secretly have other thoughts.

As a student majoring in communications engineering at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, I wrote an application called "Snapdragon 820 Indentifier" overnight and put it on a free resource website for people to download.

Chen Heyu was sitting on the soft boss chair. He didn't expect that this contract production of chips for Haotong would cause such a big twist.

But when he glanced at Wu Maozhe opposite, he immediately smiled with relief. Chen Heyu dared to give a bonus of US$220 million to a mere chip engineer. The other party was obviously not a stingy boss.

"Little rookie, come out and compete with grandpa and see how labor and management slap you in the face!"

Netizens from China logged into popular forums in Korea, throwing out all kinds of emoticons and ridiculing words, frantically lashing out at the Koreans who had suffered critical injuries.

"There's no one who can hit you, you just rely on your mouth?"

Judging from the results, the Snapdragon 820 produced by Shanhai Microelectronics beats Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in almost all aspects!

Botong, Fitutong and Resa Electronics sent a business inspection team to Shanghai to evaluate Shanhai Microelectronics' equipment foundation, production process control, quality management system, etc., and prepare to adjust the structure of their own chip foundry service providers.

But reality told him that for the same chip, the overall performance difference exceeded 5%!

Sunni is the second chip design company to sign a cooperation, with an order amount of US$830 million!

Meng Haodong said leisurely.

Fututong is the fourth company, with an order amount of US$300 million!

Many overseas semiconductor design companies had the idea of ​​poaching, but after contacting them, they were rejected before the conditions were stated.

Wu Maozhe gritted his teeth and said.

"Shit! It's not because of Bay Semiconductor itself. I have communicated with the board of directors of Hotong before to help you retain 40% of the orders, but you are not living up to expectations."

The Aitutu benchmark score is 158,000 for the Bay Semiconductor version and 169,000 for the Shanhai Microelectronics version.

If we change to a more favorable R&D environment, can we shrink the process to 10 nanometers?

Peng Cheng said angrily.

If this is called nagging, Mr. Meng will have to move around more in the future."

Hold the technology of the future in hand.

Then he motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.

The next few days.

Coupled with generous quarterly bonuses, year-end bonuses, and a comprehensive welfare system, no one would agree to change jobs.

This digital blogger uploaded the evaluation video intact to overseas websites, which became the most direct and effective evidence to slap Korean netizens in the face.

"Well, okay."

Time travel to 2004, Gao Huaijun took over an electric fan factory that was about to go bankrupt.

So he was surprised to find that the battery life of the Shanhai Microelectronics version was 2 hours better than the Bay Semiconductor version, and the heat dissipation performance was also better than the Shanhai Microelectronics version of the Snapdragon 820.

At that time, strict non-competition regulations and high liquidated damages were also factors.

Chen Heyu said meaningfully.

After walking out of the office, he headed straight towards the reception room.

"Mr. Chen, let me make a long story short. The headquarters has decided to hand over the annual order demand for Snapdragon 820 and 650 chips to Shanhai Microelectronics for OEM.

Assistant Xiao Yao reminded.

Zhang Zhimou's old voice had a hint of sinister aura.

This new product, which was launched less than half a month ago, actually needs to be recalled to quell the anger of consumers?

Chen Heyu laughed. Who said technicians don't love money? He said goodbye to a few people immediately, got in the car, and went home from get off work.

Meng Haodong said frankly.

Of course, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill them all!

He will not forget the small tricks that Bay Semiconductor made behind the scenes, equipment blockade, and dark methods. If Shi Yang hadn't taken the risk and helped him get a batch of ion implanters and etching machines, Shanhai Microelectronics would definitely not have been able to win.

Orders from Apple, NVIDIA and Haotong.

Are you kidding me?

No one in their right mind would choose to go across the ocean to work for a lower salary.

"Mr. Chen has won the mid-to-high-end market, but does he still care about low-end chips?"

"Besemer, you must help me this time. If this continues, the company will lay off employees and reduce production capacity."

"Is there any way to sanction the other party?"

But from a human perspective, if there is no problem, we will not waste time downloading the program to verify it.

"Hey, don't try to fool me. Do you want to save my bonus?"

With the help of the "Snapdragon 820 Indentifier", a rigorous-thinking digital blogger quickly got two LG G5s equipped with different Snapdragon 820 chips, and started the evaluation after they were fully charged.

Except for the lowest-level engineers, the basic salary of Shanhai Microelectronics is the same as that of the Turtle Valley Semiconductor Industry, and the average salary of other ranks is 20% higher.

Although he does not know whether the LG G5 mobile phone purchased by the person who used the identification tool has problems with excessive energy consumption and poor performance.

Meng Haodong was in a daze and couldn't figure it out.

In terms of overall performance, Shanhai Microelectronics’ version of the Snapdragon 820 chip is at least 5%-7% higher.

"Shanhai Microelectronics is out of the semiconductor industry. You have no ability to produce high-end chips!"

Having worked at NVIDIA for many years, he is very familiar with the salary package in the Turtle Valley chip industry. Can a higher salary exceed the annual dividend of hundreds of millions of dollars?

She understands that Shanhai Microelectronics needs a manager who understands the overseas chip market to develop broader revenue sources for the company and enrich KA's customer base.

A year ago, Shanhai Microelectronics' production process, technology, and technology were not mature enough. The main way to attract customers was price. At present, the yield rate, energy consumption, and performance have all exceeded that of Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

"What can two mobile phones and such a small sample size mean? I look forward to the official announcement of the data so that these Chinese people with sensitive self-esteem can shut up as soon as possible."

Zhang Zhimou of Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has gone crazy. Haotong is his core major customer. After losing it, this year's performance will be disastrous.

Peng Cheng glanced at the query data collected in the background and curled his lips disdainfully.

Memory and storage performance: 3.9% higher data transfer speed;

This group of people were still tough-talking and kept shouting.

"Take me there."

When Meng Haodong saw the visitor, he stood up happily and held Chen Heyu's hand with a happy face.

"Humph! Don't even think about it, I will work for you for the rest of my life!"

Processor performance: 6.3% higher running speed and responsiveness;

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

During the banquet, he was also accompanied by He Tingbo, Wang Maosong, Wu Maozhe, Ye Youcheng and others. The purpose was nominally to familiarize Meng Haodong with the chip technology level of Shanhai Microelectronics, but in reality, he was flexing his muscles and talking about development prospects and industry potential.

With his current status, can he get a higher salary?

Now there has been a big reversal, these people have disappeared without a trace, and all that remains is touting.

Chen Heyu said half-jokingly.

A senior executive from Bedeley yelled.

Meng Haodong nodded, and then called Sanxing, HOC and Suini one by one to synchronize the investigation results, and promised to list the last batch of Bay Semiconductor Chips as order gifts and make them up for the next purchase.

"Ah! How do you know?"

As a director of Haotong Greater China, his annual basic salary is US$600,000, with bonuses linked to performance, ranging from US$1 million to US$1.5 million. Other types of subsidies include US$200,000, and the rest is large.

Part of the income is related to stock awards.

Chen Heyu said in a relaxed tone that he was very clear about Meng Haodong's purpose of coming, which was nothing more than to increase the order amount and deepen cooperation.

It wasn't until the next morning that LG Electronics announced that it would recall all G5 mobile phones equipped with Bay Semiconductor's version of the Snapdragon 820 chip in the Korea area, causing shock in the industry.

Bay Semiconductor is no longer their first choice!

…

Ames' 20 photolithography machines can be returned completely. Because the production capacity does not match the order, they will be in vain if they are bought back.

While eating, Meng Haodong inadvertently kept his eyes on Wu Maozhe. Although he tried his best to hide it, he was still noticed by him.

Meng Haodong's heart sank. He knew the subtext of Chen Heyu's words and wanted to recruit him to join Shanhai Microelectronics.

Haotong re-signed the OEM contract with an order value of US$4.15 billion!

"Yesterday you barked like a dog on the Internet. Now where are the people? Are they barking? @山海微电 is rubbish."

Bay Semiconductor and Shanhai Microelectronics both manufacture Snapdragon 820 chips according to standard chip electronic documents and production specifications. Even if the production process and employee operation levels are inconsistent, performance errors of up to 2~3% may occur.

Chen Heyu asked.

Users only need to authorize the installation, then return to the desktop to start the software. The model and manufacturer of the CPU will be displayed at the top of the screen. Snapdragon 820 WSMC is a Bay Semiconductor chip, and Snapdragon 820 ShanHai is a Shanhai Microelectronics chip.

Wu Maozhe was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly took out a brand new business card from his pocket and pretended to throw it into the trash can.

After the banquet, Chen Heyu personally escorted him to the car and left.

One after another, he brought future technologies into this era, single-handedly driving the world's technological progress.

In this era of great changes where East and West collide head-on.

Where will his business go?

We have been playing this game silently for 180 years.

And now, it's time to overturn their poker table!

With these future technologies in hand, let’s see how Gao Huaijun builds his own industrial empire step by step!
