Li Yuan came to Song Jiajia and discussed parenting issues with her for two hours.

Then Li Yuan took out a gift and gave it to her.

It's a new phone.

Song Jiajia was a little confused and asked, "What is this?"

"Huawei's new mate60"

"????"

Song Jiajia was shocked.

This thing is out? Didn't they say they would have to wait another half a month for the press conference?

Li Yuan said, "It's already out. I've ordered 12 million units for BiXin Mall. You can use them to operate it when the time comes."

Originally, this mobile phone was supposed to be released suddenly on August 29, but because of Li Yuan’s problem, the butterfly effect has already occurred.

For example, Raymondo will not come until tomorrow, so this phone has naturally been hidden until now.

In fact, mass production had already started two months ago, and Li Yuan spent more than 70 billion yuan to pre-order 12 million units.

70% of the future production capacity will be supplied to him first.

This phone is more advanced than the previous one. The processor in the previous one used 14 nanometers, but HiSilicon has designed it to run at a speed comparable to 7 nanometers.

Overall, it can be said that it is a competitive machine, but if it is called a performance machine, it is still a bit disappointing.

But now...mate60 is manufactured using a 7nm process and is designed to have performance comparable to that of a 5nm process.

Pro is a 5nm process, with performance comparable to 4nm.

He has been suffering losses because the chip yield rate is too low.

Fortunately, a lot of 12nm and 14nm chips can be packaged and sold to Huawei, otherwise...

If the total production value of chips is 10 billion, he will lose 16 billion.

Huawei will bear 60% of this loss because they can develop Porsche or foldable screen mobile phones to earn part of the premium, and the premium for low-end phones is not low either.

Li Yuan bears 40%, but he has the right to set prices. In two or three years, this technology will greatly improve the yield rate, and he will not lose much money by then.

I have to say that this topic is really useful. Although it is simple and crude, it is much simpler than ASML's. The only difference is that the factory cannot be moved and a lot of cost needs to be invested.

The lithography machine factory spent less than 30 billion yuan on research costs and initial wafer production costs.

But the entire infrastructure project cost more than 60 billion yuan.

Song Jiajia opened the phone and took a look.

After turning on the computer, I logged into my account and tried it out.

It feels very comfortable. I took a look at the performance and experienced the overall smoothness.

She has been using Honor in recent years, after all, it is its own brand.

"Break through the chip blockade?"

Huawei's high-end phones in the past two years are very mediocre because they do not have advanced chips.

Li Yuan nodded: "The chip was made by our Qingtian Group."

Song Jiajia: “???”

She also holds the title of vice president in the Qingtian Group and is now the president of Bi Xin. In the entire Qingtian Group system, she is one of the top few people. How could she not know that the Qingtian Group has planned a semiconductor project?

At most, I invested in some company stocks.

“Then why not use it on your own cell phone?”

Good things are given to outsiders first?

If it is used on Honor's own mobile phones, perhaps Honor phones can get rid of the image of low-end phones.

Hasn’t Li Yuan always wanted to be high-end?

"Because I can't afford Honor. A mobile phone that costs more than 1,000 or 2,000 yuan has a processor that costs 1,500 or 1,600 yuan. If the brand power is not strong enough, it can't be sold at a high price."

Song Jiajia: "Didn't Qixing Auto also start from scratch? Now it sells 6,000 units a month."

Although Qixing Automobile still does not have very high sales, it has been able to maintain its operations.

Li Yuan shook his head. "It's different. The profit margin of cars is huge. We can add services to it. We can't buy a mobile phone and add all the previous services, right? That would be a huge loss. Apple's profit margin is over 3,000 yuan, but there are no services. Honor can't afford it either."

Song Jiajia didn't say anything else and continued to experience it.

After a while, he said, "It's still not as good as Honor. There are too many ads..."

After Li Yuan invested in Honor mobile phones, he asked Honor to remove most of its advertisements. Even if there were advertisements, they were all for its own company.

Because our own company will not cheat people and there are no tricks involved.

The main reason is that Honor's customers are the elderly and students, who are already vulnerable groups. They are exposed to a lot of pay-to-win games, scammy online chats, and financial loan ads all day long. They don't have much discernment, which makes their lives even worse.

Li Yuan doesn't make that little money, he mainly focuses on ecology.

Song Jiajia also knew that it was not her decision whether the phone was useful or not, because she did not have much demand for the phone's performance.

From a business perspective, mate60 is absolutely of great significance.

…

At night, many people discovered something.

On Huawei's official website, the mate60, which was supposed to be launched in the middle of the month, was suddenly released for sale.

The news spread quickly.

Not only that, the official website even has the phone parameters marked on it.

Kirin 9000S, 5nm processor.

In the eyes of many people, a country that cannot produce high-end chips, the jewel of industry, is an industrially backward country. This has always been an excuse for the colonizers to attack the national self-confidence of the Chinese people.

No one thought that Huawei would be able to use 5-nanometer chips because they had been subject to several rounds of sanctions and did not even have the power to speak in communication chips, and no one helped them produce them.

As a result, such a powerful chip suddenly emerged and used 5G communication chip.

So... this phone is a collection of the world's most advanced technologies.

The heat broke out in an instant.

"This is fake, right? Where did the 5G chip come from? Did Qualcomm give it to them privately?"

"The processor is also outrageous. Is there anyone in China that can manufacture 5 nanometers? Although SMIC has the technology, it doesn't have a lithography machine."

"Wanji Electric secretly gave it to them? Is the whole world backstabbing America?"

…

These are the first things many people think of. After all, under the guidance of colonists and various marketing accounts, high-end lithography machines are the most powerful technology in the world, and nothing can surpass this.

In fact, EUV lithography machines do have strong barriers, but if we say they are the best in the world, they are still a long way off.

This thing cannot affect the world situation, of course, except for the United States.

After all, they need technological hegemony.

Like the Russian bear, they still use 96 nanometers. They don’t care about the so-called lithography machines at all, and no one cares about it.

Gradually, some professionals began to stand up.

"It's impossible that it was manufactured by a foreign company. The US is in the upper echelons, and no one dares to mess around. After the phone is released, as long as someone studies it, they will know who made it. Qualcomm and Wanchid Electronics will not seek their own death. It's too late for them to lick the US's boots at this time. It seems that either it was manufactured by SMIC, or Huawei happened to have stockpiled a batch of goods before the sanctions and is only using them now."

In 2018, 5G communication was not yet popular, but the standard had already been established in the same year.

Theoretically, it is possible to stock up on 5G communication chips, but it’s a bit rushed.

Most mobile phones were not officially connected to 5G communications until 2019. There is no reason why they had it in 2018 and have not been used for five years.

"Haha, I feel like it's made from Lanzhou beef noodles. The knife skills are so good that they can easily carve out 5 nanometers."

"Isn't Qilin in Deyun Club? I feel like it was made by Deyun Club."

"Could it be Hongxing Erke?"

…

During the day, the entire network was caught up in a craze for buying mate60.

However, in order to give back to dealers for the hard times they have gone through in recent years, Huawei has chosen to ship most of its goods through offline dealers.

Scalpers queue up in the middle of the night, and after buying the products, they immediately raise the price by five or six thousand and sell them to online review bloggers and some wealthy bosses.

Even so, only a few people can buy the goods.

Because today is not a sales day, they don't have much stock.

But when guests come, you always have to give them a gift.

Hua Wei reported to several senior executives, hoping to get a portion of the share of Qingtian Group. After all, all the goods stockpiled in the past two months were given to Qingtian Group.

It’s a pity that the report was rejected.

You can only accept the future output honestly.

No matter how popular this product is, they have no chance of getting it from Li Yuan because this thing is produced by Li Yuan.

Moreover, before the product was released, he spent more than 70 billion yuan on purchasing it, which in itself was a guarantee for Huawei. Except for Li Yuan, no one in the world could do it, and no one was willing to do such a thing.

With the release of videos by some review bloggers, the popularity of mate60 has increased even more.

Someone directly dismantled the chip to see who manufactured it.

As a result, only four small words were seen in the lower right corner of the chip's protective layer.

Made in China.

Even the usual English was abandoned.

Excellent design, ultimate performance, top domestic chips, this step is considered to be officially announced to the world, and the jewel in the industrial crown has been lost.

Everything that can be produced domestically is garbage and not worthy of being on the crown of industry.

Li Yuan is different from Song Jiajia. He likes to use Huawei's products, which have better performance and are more convenient to use with more functions.

Although Honor also uses the Hongmeng system, the flagship models all use chips purchased from abroad, and the configuration of ordinary models is too low, making them not very comfortable to use.

After changing his mobile phone, he opened his social account immediately.

His fans on several mainstream platforms have exceeded 200 million.

"The new phone is very good to use, but I feel sorry for some people. After all, another jewel in the crown of industry has been lost. By the way, you don't have to guess. The chip of this phone is manufactured by the Qingtian Group. After all, we have invested in Mixue Ice City. The Snow King is omnipotent. It's just a small chip..."

Li Yuan hasn't spoken for several years, and this update was very influential.

The already hot topic was further heated up to several levels.

It’s just that everyone thought Li Yuan was telling a joke, but in fact what Li Yuan said was true.

The popularity has not subsided for half a month in a row, and even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave mate 60 as a gift.

As a Qixing car owner got the mate60 phone with just one phone call, BiXin users with VIP level 5 and above are directly eligible to purchase it without having to queue up to grab it, which immediately put Qixing Automobile and BiXin in the spotlight.

Car sales exceeded 10,000 in a single month for the first time, and BiXin’s turnover soared by nearly 20%.

Huawei's delivery was getting slower and slower, until finally many people scolded it, saying why Bixin had so many goods and why Qixing Automobile could just supply them casually.

Your own channels for your products are not as many as those of a secondary channel.

In the end, it was Hua who stood up for the old man and explained the matter.

"The Mate 60 mobile phone was made possible with the support of Mr. Li from the Qingtian Group. Without any parameter support and without producing any mobile phone, Mr. Li directly ordered 12 million units. This is his absolute trust in the company. The payment of more than 70 billion yuan was also a gift to the company when it was in the most difficult time."

Everyone understands.

I can only sigh at Li Yuan's generosity. That's more than 70 billion, and he didn't even blink an eye.

The product quality is unknown, the sales situation is unknown, and even though all 12 million units may be wasted, we are still willing to spend the money.

The risk is too great.

Li Yuan's image also began to gradually become fuller.

Many people know that he is rich, but leaving aside the vested interests, such as his employees and users who made money by investing in Kingkong Capital, many passers-by do not think that Li Yuan is any different from other capitalists.

But now, there is a difference.

More and more content is being dug out.

Li Yuan not only pays the salaries of the employees of Qingtian Group, but also pays five insurances and one fund for the migrant workers.

What are employee treatment and employee benefits.

The Qixing Auto Exclusive Service, which had not been widely publicized before, was also exposed at this time.

Someone said that his family member was seriously ill and he could not make an appointment with a top expert. He made a call to Qixing Automobile’s customer service and got the relevant resources the next day.

Someone said that his child had been having trouble getting into school, and Qixing Auto’s employees completed all the paperwork in just two days.

Some people also say that some popular resources are simply not available, so they also call the Qixing car service staff...

Some people also said that they wanted to confess their love to their girlfriends in the middle of the night, but couldn't buy flowers or gifts. The Qixing car service staff sent them to the hotel entrance in the middle of the night and even cooperated with their confession.

All of a sudden, it became a hot topic for three months, and people on the internet were trying out the level of service that Qixing Auto could provide every day.

At the end of December, someone even revealed that Li Yuan could tell fortunes...

Then this outrageous topic became a hot topic.

In Li Yuan's comment section, a lot of people started to ask him for fortune-telling.

On December 31st, Li Yuan got up early.

I took a look at the comment section, thought of something, and immediately picked up my phone and started shooting a video.

"Seeing that everyone is looking for me to tell fortunes, let me first clarify that I am a staunch materialist. Let's not get into feudal superstition. But I happen to be free today, so I'll tell fortunes for you. I can't tell fortunes for myself, so let's tell fortunes for our country... As everyone knows, next year will be the beginning of the Nine Purple Fire Fortune, so we don't need to tell fortunes for our family, it must be a good sign, let's tell fortunes for other people... let's tell fortunes for our neighbors."

Li Yuan began to tell fortunes.

After all the lines were revealed, he said to the hexagram: "Ahem... It doesn't look good. To avoid being accused of slandering them, I won't interpret the hexagram. But I still want to remind the compatriots in the island country to be careful starting tomorrow."

Video clip, send.

All major platforms are updated as soon as possible.

Then, it spread.

Li Yuan didn't care about what was being discussed online and just wandered around the village with his children.

Because it was Sunday, and there was another day off tomorrow for New Year's Day, he took advantage of the holiday to release his child's wildness.

only……

When he woke up at eight o'clock in the morning on January 1, 2024, he found that his phone was bombarded with calls!

Jiang Yiling, who had gotten up early, looked at him with a strange look.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, go and see for yourself."

"Tell me what happened? It's so confusing, how can I guess?"

But Jiang Yiling went straight to dress the child and ignored him.
