Chapter 710 The question of choosing one of the two
"Yesterday there was news from Lighthouse Country that AMD has developed the Nuwa CPU. Except that the graphics card performance is not as good as Nuwa a2, the performance of the CPU is exactly the same as Nuwa a2.
Even if I don’t say I believe it, it won’t be long before you receive this news.
But active knowledge and passive knowledge are two different things. Have you ever thought about how much money the company will lose if you only find out a few months later and then make countermeasures?
Even if you don't have time to understand this matter, why not let a think tank help you understand it.
Kirin Electronics gives so much money to the think tank every month, but you have not made good use of the think tank. This time difference is likely to cause heavy losses to the company.
Why do foreign companies suffer losses every time at our hands?
Because we keep information confidential better than they do, and we do things much more low-key than they do, we catch them off guard every time.
In fact, doing business is like fighting. Information gap is a very terrible thing. If you are not careful, you will lose everything." Cao Mang poured him a cup of tea and said.
After listening to Cao Mang's words, Lin Dongze realized how big a mistake he had made.
If he finds out about this two months or three months later, by then AMD's Nuwa CPU has been put into mass production, what will happen to the products manufactured by the company during this period?
Of course, companies can choose to downgrade to deal with these backward products.
But the reduction in profits is also a loss for the company. If you can know about this in advance, you can be prepared in advance.
"Mr. Cao, I will pay attention to it in the future." Lin Dongze lowered his head and said.
"Where do you think this AMD CPU will be used?" Cao Mang asked.
Lin Dongze fell into deep thought after hearing Cao Mang's words.
If you were AMD, where would you use this product?
Is it used on a personal computer or on a mobile phone?
After thinking about it, Lin Dongze felt that AMD would use this product in personal computers because Kirin personal desktop computers have taken away a large amount of the high-end market.
"AMD will be used in personal computers because the high-end market is very profitable," Lin Dongze said.
Cao Mang sighed. He was very disappointed with Lin Dongze's answer.
Lin Dongze saw Cao Mang sigh and knew that he had answered wrongly.
But he couldn't figure out what the problem was. Isn't business just about making profits?
"X86 is the foundation of personal computer chips in the lighthouse country. If AMD uses the chip in personal computers, it will be equivalent to helping Kirin chips occupy the personal computer market.
Although AMD can make more profits by using Nuwa chips in personal computers.
But this thing is like a drug. Once addicted, it is difficult to quit. As time goes by, Kirin will occupy more markets, which is not a good thing for AMD and the lighthouse country.
If they keep doing this, it will be difficult for x86 to rise.
Because they don’t know whether the CPUs developed in the future can surpass Kirin again.
So they can only use the chip in mobile phones. Although he is also helping Kirin occupy the market, this matter is originally a matter of choice for them.
Either choose the mobile phone market or choose the personal computer market.
The personal computer market is already their area of expertise. Do you think they will help their enemies erode their own area?
You must know that Kirin has licensed Nuwa technology to domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
Kirin is already unstoppable in the mobile phone market. If it can't be stopped, why should they? It's better to join this team and gain more benefits.
At the same time, they can also help their manufacturers to inhibit the development of domestic mobile phone manufacturers." Cao Mang explained.
The reason why Freemasons asked AMD to exchange x86 for Nuwa technology was to see if they could use Nuwa to develop their own Nuwa chips to inhibit the development of domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
The reason why Cao Mang authorized Nuwa to them was because he wanted them to produce Nuwa CPUs and capture more markets through this method.
In fact, both sides are playing a game. Of course, who wins and who loses is unknown. According to Cao Mang, he won the game, but from the perspective of the Freemasons, they did not lose much.
Because they can obtain certain profits through this method.
Of course, there is no other way for them.
Because Nuwa is far ahead of them in terms of performance, they hope that through this technology exchange, they can shorten the distance between the two parties.
Didn't this really deceive them?
AMD was the first to develop a CPU with the same performance as Kirin.
If AMD develops a Nuwa CPU with performance that surpasses Kirin in the future, they can also suppress Kirin Group through a price war. Kirin will then want to sell the product.
Then Kirin can only lower the price of its products.
Without profits, it is very difficult for a company to develop.
Of course they can now also use price wars to harden steel Kirin.
But this method is not a wise choice for them, because they don't know whether Kirin has a back-up. If Kirin has a back-up, if they do this, it will not be equivalent to helping Kirin occupy the personal computer market.
Besides, Kirin only deals in the high-end market now. This loss is not big for them and it does not push them into a corner, so they will not go head-to-head with Kirin.
The two sides have just been in peace talks, so there is no need to fall out at this time.
If they completely fall out with Kirin at this time, they will always lag behind Kirin, because Kirin does not need to produce 45nm chips for them.
Even if they are awesome, they can't stop all countries in the world from doing business with Qilin.
After listening to Cao Mang's words, Lin Dongze felt that his cupu was not enough. If he had known about the game between Cao Mang and the Freemasons, his CPU would have been burned out by now.
"Mr. Cao, what should I do next?" Lin Dongze asked.
"I have asked the semiconductor side to develop new CPUs. What you have to do now is to slowly reduce production capacity and prepare for the upgrading of new products. New Kirin mobile phones and computers can enter the research and development stage.
I don’t need to tell you how to do it specifically. If you don’t understand, just call Zhang Zhicheng and talk to him.
If you feel that you are not capable enough to control Kirin Electronics.
Then call Zhang Zhicheng back and let him handle the business, while you and Zhou Kai take charge of the foreign business." After Cao Mang finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and refilled Lin Dongze's tea along the way.
In fact, Cao Mang's words have already made it very obvious. You are not capable enough to control Qilin Electronics, so you should let Zhang Zhicheng come back to operate.
Because he and Cao Mang have been together for more than three years, Cao Mang didn't say it directly. It depends on whether he has self-awareness.
If he had self-awareness, he would know what to do next.
If he didn't know this, Cao Mang could only call Zhang Zhicheng to communicate.
