In two months, 300 million mobile phones were sold!
According to this trend, let alone 500 million sets, maybe 2000 million sets may not be enough!
Legend Mobile has also become MediaTek's largest customer, accounting for [-]% of MediaTek's chip shipments!
Seeing that MediaTek is about to rise again...
…………
"Although the current situation is very good, everyone should not be proud. We must take advantage of this momentum and continue to work hard! In the mobile phone chip industry, we are just newcomers, and there is still a big gap compared with the old manufacturers such as Texas Instruments and Qualcomm. Fortunately Legend has helped us open up the mainland market, and all of our research and development goals are to closely integrate with the mainland market and cater to the needs of users there..."
At the company's high-level meeting, Cai Mingjie was talking endlessly to boost the morale of his subordinates, when his secretary hurried in.
After coming to Cai Mingjie, he approached him and said softly, "Mr. Cai, there is an emergency!"
Cai Mingjie was taken aback, and asked back, "What's going on?"
The secretary looked at the other people in the conference room, and seemed a bit uncomfortable to speak.
Cai Mingjie's heart sank suddenly, it seemed that something bad had happened.
He hurriedly pulled the secretary out of the conference room.
As soon as he went out, he asked urgently, "What happened!"
"Legendary just called and said... that they are not satisfied with our new quotation and are planning to cancel the future cooperation." The secretary lowered his head and said hesitantly.
Cai Mingjie turned pale with shock.
Legend Mobile Company is MediaTek's most important customer, and Legend's order can even be said to be related to the life and death of MediaTek!
If the cooperation is really cancelled, among other things, the stock price of MediaTek will be "dead" to him first.
The company's market value has plummeted, and shareholders will not let him go.
"Did the other party say what the reason is? Why did they suddenly cancel the cooperation? If it's just because of the price, it can be discussed." Cai Mingjie asked nervously.
"I didn't make it very clear on the phone. I just said that other chip companies have also come up with a solution, which is more advanced than ours and the price is lower." The secretary replied.
Cai Mingjie calmed down at this moment, as expected, there was a competitor playing tricks.
Chapter 835 Extreme Pressure
"Buy me a plane ticket immediately, I'm going to Pengcheng!"
Cai Mingjie arranged calmly.
He is going to meet the boss of the legendary mobile phone company, this list must not be lost!
The secretary led away, and Cai Mingjie turned back to the conference room.
A group of company executives in the conference room were discussing a lot, and the boss was called out by the secretary just now.
Although everyone didn't know what happened, but looking at the face of the boss's secretary, it didn't feel like a good thing.
After Cai Mingjie walked in, everyone calmed down and sat upright, waiting for President Cai to speak.
Cai Mingjie asked the director of the R&D department calmly, "The system that currently supplies Legendary mobile phones can reach at least 2000 million to 3000 million units without affecting the quality, if the cost is reduced to the limit. How many?"
The director of the R&D department was a little stunned, and he replied subconsciously: "This has to be discussed with the foundry, I guess it can be reduced by about [-]%."
Cai Mingjie nodded, knowing what to do.
He has to prepare for the worst, which is to fight a price war with competitors.
Cai Mingjie did not doubt the information conveyed by Legendary Mobile, because it is really not difficult from the chip to the one-stop complete machine solution.
Any major chip factory can easily do it in two or three months.
Especially the three big manufacturers Texas Instruments, Qualcomm and Infineon, if they want to do it, they will definitely be able to have higher quality and lower costs than their own companies.
In the past, because of the arrogance of Europeans and Americans, these chip manufacturers disdain to do this.
But maybe a certain big factory suddenly opened up, and it also took a fancy to the vast world of the mainland market...
…………
In Pengcheng, the headquarters of Legend Mobile, Wang Jinbao was asking Hu Jinchang a little worriedly.
"Mr. Hu, do you think MediaTek will give in? Let's not mess it up. If MediaTek is tough enough, it refuses our conditions. Then when these chips are used up, we will run out of stock. Find a temporary The design company of the company will not be able to come up with an alternative in the short term.”
Obviously, in the call to MediaTek, it was said that there were competitors with better prices, but Hu Jinchang was just playing "empty city tricks".
The purpose is to force MediaTek to submit and prepare for the acquisition.
And what Hu Jinchang is preparing this time is not just this move, he has a whole set of plans waiting for MediaTek.
This plan was called "extreme pressure" by Hu Jinchang!
From the company level, it is necessary to hit the confidence of MediaTek's management and reduce the business volume of MediaTek.
From the perspective of the stock market, this "black swan" event should also be used to significantly reduce MediaTek's stock price, so as to reduce the cost of contract termination during the acquisition.
Therefore, after making that phone call, Hu Jinchang waited for the high-level executives of MediaTek to come to "seek peace", and he was confident enough to handle the other party.
Because in 2004, the chip market was still a buyer's market, far from the seller's market more than ten years later.
MediaTek is just a "new recruit" in the mobile phone chip industry, and is not qualified to challenge a low-end mobile phone brand manufacturer like Legendary Mobile.
Therefore, after hearing Wang Jinbao's worry, Hu Jinchang just smiled slightly.
He said calmly: "Wait, Mr. Wang, three days! I bet that within three days, MediaTek will definitely panic, and their executives will definitely fly over to have an interview with us. Of course, they Coming here is nothing more than giving us a price cut, and we can't agree to it. Just watch my old Hu's performance then!"
…………
As expected by Hu Jinchang, let alone three days.
On the afternoon of the call, MediaTek called and said that their president Cai would be flying to Pengcheng tomorrow, and hoped to meet and chat with the bosses of the legendary mobile phone company.
When answering the phone, Hu Jinchang said in an impatient tone on purpose: "Oh, I've been very busy these two days, Gao...oh, there are other companies coming to visit and inspect, and I may not be free to receive Mr. Cai."
In his words, as if he had slipped his mouth, he said the word "high".
Cai Mingjie's assistant on the opposite side thumped in his heart, and immediately thought of "Qualcomm"!
In the mobile phone chip industry, there is no other company except Qualcomm that starts with the word "high".
Sure enough, Qualcomm did the trick!
