Speaking of Daosui Group, Gu Mingzhang also took the initiative to mention another matter, "Just last week, Tai Mechanical and Electrical approached Daosui Group and hoped to sign an OEM contract for Zhulong Z3 chips with Daosui Group as soon as possible."

"Is Tai Machinery in a hurry?"

Zhang Shuo is very aware of the twists and turns involved.

Just last week, just like the original time and space, Samsung Wafer won the favor of the two giants Pingguo and Gaotong by taking the lead in achieving mass production of 14nm chips.

Not only did Samsung Wafer receive 80% of the orders for the Pingguo A9 processor, it also received a large number of orders from Gaotong.

All of a sudden, Samsung Wafer made a lot of money.

There is also a hint of overtaking Thai Electromechanical in a corner to become the world's largest wafer foundry.

Everyone knows the Korean people’s self-confidence!

In the past week, Korean media have repeatedly reported that Korean people are extremely active on global social platforms such as washbasin.com, and they wish the whole world knew about this.

It can be said that the atmosphere is set off very well.

Under such circumstances, Tai Electromechanical, which has only broken through the 16-nanometer advanced process and has not even achieved mass production, is naturally anxious in the face of the "sudden rise" of Samsung wafers.

This is the current situation.

In a short period of time, Tai Mechanical and Electrical wants to snatch back the two major customers of Pingguo and Gaotong from Samsung Wafer, but that is naturally impossible. After all, they have already signed formal OEM contracts.

What Tai Electromechanical can do now is to hope to stabilize Daosui Group, a major customer.

If Daosui Group has handed over the Zhulong Z3 chip to Samsung wafer foundry, then the difficulties that Tai Electromechanical will face are absolutely unprecedented.

In a sense, it is even related to the life and death of Tai Electromechanical.

It's understandable that I'm anxious.

"I'm anxious." Gu Mingzhang smiled and nodded.

For this reason, Tai Electromechanical, which has always been a bit arrogant, was shameless this time and directly sent consultant Jiang Yi to personally visit the headquarters of Daosui Group.

I just hope that I can sign a contract with Daosui Group as soon as possible.

It is said that Jiang Yi even went to Luzhou to meet in private with Liang Song, executive vice president of Daosui Group and general manager of Weijing Semiconductor, saying it was to reminisce about old times. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what the real purpose was.

On the other hand, look at Daosui Group.

President Lin Zhengdong, who is busy acquiring Dongzhi's flash memory business, has rarely hesitated. Should he sign a contract with Tai Electromechanical, or should he follow the example of Pingguo and Gaotong and turn to Samsung Wafer?

After all, judging from the existing data, 14nm chips are more advanced than 16nm chips, right?

What is the strength of Samsung Wafer?

Now that it has been announced that 14nm chips have been mass-produced, it must be genuine.

It is unlikely to be a parallel import like Yuntel.

Not to mention, the technical research on Samsung's 14-nanometer advanced process was first led by Liang Song, who is now the executive vice president of Daosui Group.

Liang Song also proved his talents through research on the 28nm advanced process.

This relationship is messed up!

It was not only Lin Zhengdong of Daosui Group who hesitated, but also Gu Mingzhang.

Although Daosui Group is a customer of Tai Electromechanical, Maili Group, chaired by Gu Mingzhang, is the ultimate customer of the Zhulong z3 chip, and is directly related to the success or failure of Maili x4.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of publicity, Pingguo, Samsung, including mobile phone manufacturers that use Gaotong chips, can all announce to the outside world that they use the world's most advanced 14-nanometer chips.

Maili mobile phones can only reluctantly use 16 nanometer chips.

This is already a bit lower.

More importantly, if the 14nm chip is indeed ahead of the 16nm chip in terms of performance, then it will also have an impact on the high-end image that Maili mobile phones have always cultivated.

“How come high-end mobile phones don’t even have the most advanced chips?”

Consumers will inevitably have this question.

Because the stakes were so important, Gu Mingzhang did not make a decision directly. Instead, he held a meeting to listen to the big boss's opinion.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because based on past experience, big bosses often have a more thorough understanding of such critical decisions.

It's like you can predict the future.

"More advanced technology does not mean more advanced chip performance. In this regard, I think we should listen more to Liang Song's professional opinions."

Zhang Shuo reminded with a smile, but did not draw a direct conclusion.

The difference between 16 nanometer and 14 nanometer is just the choice of evolutionary route.

There is no obvious generation difference between them.

Just like the original time and space, after the 14-nanometer advanced process, whether it is Samsung, Yutel, or Taimei Electric, they all chose the 10-nanometer advanced process without exception.

"Liang Song has also asked about it."

Lin Zhengdong immediately consulted Liang Song for his professional advice.

"Liang Song indeed mentioned that Samsung's wafer selection from the 28nm advanced process to the 14nm advanced process is a risk in itself."

In addition, Liang Song left midway, which was an even greater blow to Samsung Wafer.

"Theoretically, Samsung wafer's 14nm advanced process may indeed have some problems, such as low yield. But after all, it is just a guess, and Liang Song cannot draw a direct conclusion."

Liang Song was very cautious in this matter.

Including that although Jiang Yi went to Luzhou to meet Liang Song, Liang Song was really just reminiscing about old times. Even because of Jiang Yi's appearance, Liang Song was even more unwilling to get involved.

Adhere to the principle of neutrality.

The implication is that Zhang Shuo has to make this decision.

"Then choose Tai Machinery and Electric."

Zhang Shuo stopped hiding things and gave his final answer, which was also the correct answer.

"In terms of wafer foundry, I still believe more in the technical level of Tai Electromechanical. As for Samsung wafers, not to mention other things, the low yield rate alone is the biggest flaw."

"Samsung Wafer has already received orders from Pingguo and Gaotong. Can it still complete our orders as scheduled?"

Not to mention talking about it.

The relationship between Sprout and Samsung has always been very unfriendly.

Even in business terms, Samsung Wafer is probably willing to take orders from Daosui Group and then completely defeat a competitor like Tai Electromechanical, but it is not safe after all.

If Samsung takes the opportunity to do something, it will directly affect the production of Maili x4.

Never be careless!

"Compared with the little bit of possible performance improvement, I think we still require stability. After all, with the current brand influence of Maili mobile phones, I believe that consumers will not say that just because of this little difference in the chip , and gave up buying Maili mobile phones." Zhang Shuo added with a smile.

After he gave the correct answer, he had to forcefully add an explanation.

Otherwise it doesn’t make sense!

In the original time and space, even if Pingguo mobile phones have long-term problems such as easy heating, short battery life, and poor camera pixels, won't they affect the favor of consumers around the world?

The principle is the same.

Today, Maili mobile phones should also have such confidence.

"That's the truth."

Gu Mingzhang was convinced and approved the big boss's judgment.

"But..." Zhang Shuo added, smiling and saying: "If you choose Tai Electromechanical, you must choose Tai Electromechanical. This time we finally caught up with Tai Electromechanical to ask us, but we can't agree so easily."

No matter what, I should take the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from Tai Electromechanical.

"clear!"
