Chapter 331 8000 million orders

Since the outside world has given mortal technology the title of "subversive", Wang Fan naturally wants to subvert it all the way to the end.

Such an important key device as a mobile phone, the core entrance of the Internet, and the absolute hub of other smart hardware, Wang Fan cannot let go.

Therefore, Apple's dominance is doomed to be shaken, and even Samsung's top spot in the global market share must be given up!

Moreover, this time node is not too late, and it will even be quite fast!
"Then what are your plans?" Wang Fan asked.

Cook shook his head: "Although the market performance of the iPhone 6S series is not good, Apple will not sell it at a lower price anyway."

"You mean to launch a new product or product line, such as mid-range mobile phones, to increase sales, seize market share, and make up for the decline of the iPhone 6s series?"

"This possibility is not ruled out!" Cook nodded: "Apple is preparing to launch a new mobile phone to fill the gap in the mid-range mobile phone market. Although this is helpless, there is no way."

Looking at Cook's dejected expression, Wang Fan couldn't help sighing: the naivety of the mobile phone industry is about to change, and even Apple, the absolute overlord, has to start to compromise.

If the previous iPhone 5C was a mid-range phone drop, then this new mid-range phone is Apple's official full-scale attack on the mid-range market!

And Samsung has begun to march towards thousand yuan phones, and is preparing to release more than 1000 mobile phones!

In such a fiercely competitive market, no one can sit firmly on the high end, even Apple and Samsung.

But this node is also an opportunity for mortal technology!
The timing of the big reshuffle is the best choice for ordinary people's mobile phones to show their success!

"When will it be released?" Wang Fan asked.

"November is coming, and it was originally planned to be released in the first quarter of next year, but because of your baseband chip, I think this time node may be brought forward. Well, it will be around the end of this year." Cook said with a little thought.

"Two months? About the same, how much do you expect to need?" Wang Fan asked.

"At least 5000 million pieces, can it be produced?" Cook stretched out five fingers and asked.

Wang Fan shook his head: "Two months, 2 million pieces, is very difficult. After all, the baseband of our mortal technology cannot only supply you apples!"

Cook waved his hand: "This is not a problem, we can raise the price by [-]%!"

Wang Fan said with a smile: "Dude, that's not how the game is played. If you raise the price by 2%, maybe I can guarantee that I will supply you with more than half of the overall production capacity within [-] months! Two months later, Mortal Technology completed the production capacity ramp Poe, production capacity should no longer be a problem!"

Cook pondered again, and finally nodded: "Yes, but you have to guarantee that you will give us at least 11 million pieces in early November, and deliver another 500 million pieces in early December, and guarantee to meet Apple's needs in the future, otherwise you will pay a large amount of liquidated damages! "

"Conditions acceptable! Deal." Wang Fan replied with a smile.

"Haha, it's time to talk about the price!" Cook suddenly laughed.

Wang Fan was dumbfounded. After the cooperation was over, it was strange that he didn't finalize the price.

"You know, such an advanced baseband is much more powerful than Qualcomm's, and the natural technical difficulty and cost, as well as R&D investment, are much higher..."

"Just talk about the price!" Cook said with a smile: "Those lines don't make much sense."

Wang Fan was embarrassed: "The market price of a CDMA baseband C1 is 400. According to Apple's quantity, it can be 300, but the supply is prioritized, and the price is 330% higher, so it is [-]!"

"You are as ruthless as Qualcomm, no, even more ruthless than Qualcomm!" Cook said.

Wang Fan smiled lightly. Qualcomm has always had the reputation of buying a baseband and giving it a chip, that is, the price of a separate baseband is the same as the price of a chip with an integrated baseband.

In this way, other mobile phone manufacturers have to directly choose Qualcomm's chips, or use other chips to plug in VIA's 55nm old-fashioned baseband!

Generally speaking, LianTek's flagship chip costs more than 200 Chinese coins, while Qualcomm's flagship chip starts at 400 Chinese coins, and the price of the CDMA baseband is also at the same level.

Today, Mortal Technology's C1 baseband has a market price of 400 yuan, even if it is purchased in bulk like Apple, it costs 330 yuan, which is even worse than Qualcomm.

"In fact, this pricing strategy is beneficial to Apple." Wang Fan said.

"Oh, how do you say?" Cook became interested.

"Such a high pricing strategy directly separates the thousand-yuan phone from the flagship phone! The thousand-yuan phone will never be willing to spend 400/500 to buy Mortal Technology's C1 and Q1 basebands. Even ordinary 2000/3000 mobile phones are not worth it. I am reluctant to spend this money! Therefore, this can greatly reduce the impact of mobile phones at this price on Apple, especially Chinese manufacturers!"

Cook nodded, and suddenly said: "So, you are suppressing the development of Huaxia mobile phones? Why?"

Wang Fandao: "Not counting, it just accelerated the reshuffle process of China's mobile phone market. Mobile phones should be pursuing more advanced technology, more innovative functions, and more excellent experience! Instead of boring torn Forced marketing, extravagant advertising, and price wars that don’t make much sense!”

In fact, Wang Fan had another more important reason, which he did not mention.

That is, Mortal Technology is about to fully enter the mobile phone market. At that time, there will be another bloodbath. Those Chinese mobile phone manufacturers who have gone astray, instead of persisting meaninglessly and suffering heavy losses in the end, it is better to get out now and find a way out.

After all, once the mortal mobile phone is released, the vast majority of Chinese mobile phone brands have no technical support, no patent accumulation, and even no bright spots. Except for Apple, it is easy to be completely ruined!
"Apple accepts this price, as long as you can guarantee the production capacity and yield rate..."

…………

After successfully winning the order from Apple, Wang Fan heaved a sigh of relief, half of Qualcomm's business was completely abolished.

What's more, this is just the beginning!
Soon, Cook and Wang Fan jointly announced that Apple will purchase a large number of Mortal Technology's C1 basebands!

This news made the Qualcomm CEO in the corner completely pale.

Without Apple, Qualcomm's future is basically bleak!
However, misfortunes never come singly. Soon, Xiaomi, Meizu, ZTE, Coolpad, Lenovo, etc. all came to Wang Fan.

Wang Fan didn't have time to deal with them one by one, so he asked someone to find a room, put some fruit, and everyone talked while eating.

In the end, Xiaomi placed an order of 500 million, Meizu placed an order of 300 million, ZTE, Coolpad, and Lenovo each placed an order of 200 million...

Including several other mobile phone manufacturers, the total is 3000 million, plus Apple's 5000 million, directly realizing a large order of 8000 million!
