Chapter 440: CPU chip price reduction
When they heard that Qilin was going to be dismissed, many people were frightened by Yu Wenge. If Qilin was dismissed, they would not have to play.
Kirin is not a company like Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, etc. They can still put up a fight against these companies.
Kirin's technology is absolutely crushing.
They have no confidence at all facing Qilin.
Hearing Yu Wenge's words, Xu Lihua and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone present also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Kirin doesn't come to the mid- to low-end market, it will have no impact on them at all.
Say it again.
They can't even compete in the high-end market.
"Do you have any questions?" Yu Wenge asked.
If Qilin doesn't come to compete with them for jobs, what problems will they have?
Everyone shook their heads.
"By the way, one thing I would like to add is that Qilin has another requirement for everyone, and that is restrictions on foreign investment.

The shareholding ratio of foreign capital cannot exceed 30%, and foreign-owned holding companies are not allowed, otherwise Kirin will cancel the authorization.
This clause will be written in the contract.
If you really need funds for development, you can submit your financing plan to Qilin.
As long as there are no problems with your plan, Qilin can invest in your company. It is better to find your own people than foreigners.
Whether you form an alliance to develop or develop as a sole proprietor, submit an application to me after discussion.
If everyone has no questions, this meeting ends here." Yu Wenge said.
After Yu Wenge finished speaking, he left the scene directly.

Lighthouse Country October 8, 2005.
Craig Barrett convened another board meeting. In fact, he didn't want to convene this board meeting.
But the Chinese market can no longer withstand it.
Not only they can't stand it, but dealers, agents, and OEMs can't stand it either.
If no countermeasures are introduced, their friends will have collapsed before the Qilin products are cleared from the market.
"Everyone, you must have seen my report. The situation in the Chinese market is very serious now.
We must launch some strategies to support our friends, otherwise we will lose the entire Chinese market," said Craig Barrett.
"Didn't the board of directors help you solve the Kirin OEM problem? The inventory on hand at Kirin shouldn't last long.
Just let them buy one, I believe Kirin will be out of stock next year," said Paul Pizuo, a representative of Linghang Group.
"Mr. Paul, our friendly businessmen can't stand it anymore. If we don't help them anymore, they will go bankrupt before the end of the year." Craig Barrett said.
The friendly companies Craig Barrett mentioned are not big manufacturers like Dell, HP, and IBM.
Nor is it one of the top five manufacturers.
Because these manufacturers have other markets besides the Chinese market.
It can still be withstood with one head.
Craig Barrett is talking about those domestic brand computer manufacturers and their CPU agents.
"According to third-party survey data, our share has dropped by 30%. When the annual report data comes out, I believe the company's stock price will not look good." Craig Barrett added.
"Craig, tell me what you think," Blackstone's Lauren Roberts asked.
“According to the latest report from the Lithography Machine Alliance, it is expected that lithography machine technology will break through 65 nanometers around February next year.
My idea is to reduce prices in advance and reduce the prices of existing products," said Craig Barrett.
"Tell me about your plan," asked Robyn Carby, a representative of Bank of America.
Craig Barrett glanced at the secretary who was waiting next to him. At this time, the secretary distributed the documents to everyone.
The directors frowned after seeing the document.
Because Craig Barrett's price reduction plan is too drastic.
He priced Celeron CPUs at 30 US dollars, Pentium 4 at 50 US dollars, Pentium D at 80 US dollars, and the prices of motherboard chips were also significantly reduced.
The 845 chip costs $30, the 865 chip costs $50, and the 915 chip costs $80.
If calculated using soft sister coins.
The Celeron CPU has reached 250, the Pentium 4 has reached more than 400, and the Pentium D has reached more than 600.
The lowest-end Pentium 4 Plus 845 motherboard costs 500 yuan per set.
Including the memory, hard disk, and graphics card, the cost of a host is one thousand five hundred yuan, and the price including the monitor is about two thousand three hundred yuan.
It’s a few hundred dollars cheaper than Kirin mobile computers.
If you switch to the Pentium package, the price will be the same as the Kirin mobile computer, which is exactly the same as the Kirin mobile computer.
The Pentium D package is much more expensive than the Kirin mobile computer, but its performance is faster than the Kirin mobile computer.
It is definitely the first choice for users who pursue performance.
"Our profits have been reduced in the short term, but we will win back the market. When we launch new products next year, the profits will naturally come back." Craig Barrett said.
"Craig, is this plan synchronized globally or just for China?" Robin Kirby asked.
"Mr. Robin, this plan is only implemented in China." Craig Barrett replied.
"I agree with this plan." Robin Kirby raised his hand and said.
He would agree if it was only implemented in China.
After all, it is better to make less than nothing.
And if they don't regain their market share, the stock price will definitely fall again once the annual report is released.
Although they can still make money when the stock price drops sharply, the money they make from the drop in stock prices cannot make up for the losses caused by the drop.
Led by Robin Kirby, the board of directors agreed to his plan.
...
At the same time, a Boeing 737 was flying from the Pacific Southwest to China.
The baby girl lay on her back and waved her pink little hands to Cao Mang, "Yeah, yeah," and said with a happy smile.
The baby girl's facial features are as delicate as if they were carefully crafted. The mixed-race gene gives her an angelic appearance, perfectly inheriting the looks of Cao Mang and Anne Hathaway.
"Give me Anne, she's going to eat." Anne Hathaway said as she took the baby girl from Cao Mang's arms.
The baby girl's name is Cao Anne. Needless to say, everyone knows that she is the daughter of Cao Mang and Anne Hathaway.
"Mom, I want to eat too." Cao Mang pursed his lips and said with a bad smile.
"Why are you fighting for food with your daughter when you are so old?" Anne Hathaway rolled her eyes and said.
"Okay, give it to Annie during the day, and I'll eat it in the evening." Cao Mang said with a smile.
"Cao Mang, will they hate me?" Anne Hathaway did not want to pay attention to this bad guy and had to change the subject.
"Don't worry, it won't happen. They get along very well. I believe you will become good sisters." Cao Mang replied.
"If they don't like me, Anne and I can go back to New Zealand. I think New Zealand is pretty good." Anne Hathaway thought for a while and said.
She has already accepted the fact that Cao Mang has another woman.
She was just afraid that those women would not accept her.
