Chapter 466
August is a quiet month for the domestic mobile phone market, but a very important thing happened in this month.
As the second brand of domestic mobile phones, Huawei has suffered a certain dilemma.
The United States, in conjunction with other Internet and communication technology industries, has imposed a technical blockade on Huawei.
This means that Huawei is unable to obtain technical support with patents from other foreign Internet technology companies, which is very unfavorable to Huawei''s development.
Huawei has a very absolute position in the 5g field. In terms of technology patents, Huawei is the world''s largest communication technology company with the strongest and most patented technologies.
And Huawei''s 5g is two to three years ahead of its competitors.
5g technology is the most core technology for the whole world. This technology is expected to become the core of the next generation of industrial revolution. It involves a variety of technical cores such as industrial Internet, Internet of things, artificial intelligence and so on.
This means that which company can really master 5g technology that is ahead of the world, then it is hopeful to become the overlord of the next generation technology core and the leader in the global technology field.
Huawei''s 5g technology not only has many patents, but also leads Europe and America, Nokia Ericsson and so on for one or even two years.
Even if the communication company behind Tong Hao is in the eyes of Huawei, it is only children. Huawei''s communication technology is the strongest existence in the world.
Moreover, Huawei not only plays 5g technology, but also involves the underlying architecture of network technology. A few years ago, the underlying architecture of the network has been in the hands of Westerners, while the west only allows China to play things at the application level.
Huawei has the strength to change the bottom, and also has the technology to change the world.
In recent years, Huawei''s development has been very rapid, especially in the mobile phone business, which has become 60% of Huawei''s revenue source.
Huawei needs a lot of money in the research and development of communication technology. In this case, the growth and prosperity of mobile phone business is the best technical support for Huawei. With enough money, we can develop technology.
Science without borders has always been a joke, and Huawei has verified this.
In terms of TSMC, because there are many technologies from other technology companies in the production of chips, under the influence of the final policy, it can only choose to temporarily stop the OEM business with Huawei.
Many supply chain partners are more or less affected by the policy, and finally can only temporarily choose to stop deeper cooperation with Huawei.
Huawei''s internal departments are also troubled by the policy this time. Several supply chain partners who had talked about this time rejected Huawei.
Even TSMC, Huawei''s original best partner, can no longer contract Huawei to produce processor chips, which makes Huawei''s flagship processor chips only a mere five million.
Huawei''s mobile phone shipments last year exceeded 200 million, and now the number of Huawei''s flagship processor chips is no more than 8 million, while the number of other processor chips is no more than 10 million, which is a very bad thing for Huawei.
After all, the manufacturing technology of lithography and mobile phone chips, which has the technical patents of many foreign companies, is really difficult for a country''s company to really manufacture chips.
Of course, Huawei still attaches great importance to the mobile phone business. After all, the mobile phone business is Huawei''s technology. If the mobile phone business goes down, Huawei''s revenue will be greatly reduced.
Although over the years, Huawei has also begun to try to turn its mobile phone business to the Internet of things business, and has also opened up a new Hongmeng OS system, it is even more difficult for Huawei without mobile phone business.
Just when Huawei''s executives felt overwhelmed for the company''s development, a piece of good news let Huawei breathe a sigh of relief.
In mid August, Ren Zhengwei welcomed Tong Hao to a hotel with senior executives of Huawei.
The technology of the company behind Tong Hao is not very poor to tell the truth. It is even one of the best in the world.
Huateng company and AMRS company hold part of each other''s shares, while Tianyu company was listed a few years ago, with capital investment from many countries.
This also allows Tianyu company to live a very moist life although it says that its development direction in the world affects the interests of Companies in other countries.
This time, Tong Hao brought Huawei the support of screen, sensor technology, battery technology and even various chip technologies.
Although Tianyu company behind Tong Hao has certain competition with Huawei, the two companies are essentially domestic technology companies.
If Huawei falls down at this time, the next one may be its own Tianyu company. After all, the current foreign policy is crazy.
Although Tianyu company''s development is still good, it is afraid that it will be hit by other forces one day. In order to develop security in the future, it is imperative to cooperate with domestic companies.
Huawei is the best partner of Tianyu.
First of all, both companies have enough capital and strong technology. Huawei has an absolute position in communication technology, but it lags behind in the hardware supply chain.
On the contrary, Tianyu company has very strong supply chain technology, but it still can''t compare with Huawei in communication technology.
The purpose of this negotiation with Huawei is to obtain Huawei''s communication technology authorization and strengthen cooperation and exchanges between the two sides.
Although Ren Zhengwei said that he had met Tong Hao many times, he never sat down to talk about cooperation in a real sense.
Although it is said that the cooperation between the two sides is for the benefit of exchange, it can not be denied that Huawei is still very satisfied that Tong Hao did not come to discuss cooperation for the past.
Now Huawei has reached the most difficult point. Many companies are eager to drop the stone, and now Tong Hao''s arrival is just sending charcoal in the snow.
"Huawei has the most powerful communication technology. Tianyu company has very strong hardware technology!"
"The two companies are among the top technology companies in China, and now China''s products need to rise, and each company should integrate their own resources and support each other!"
Tong Hao''s words gave Huawei executives present a higher look at the young people in front of them. With such a view of the overall situation, it is no wonder that Tianyu company, which was about to go bankrupt, has been able to become one of the best in China.
Ren Zhengwei also nodded. Although the competition among domestic companies is very fierce, sometimes the domestic contradictions are far less than those in the international market.
Only by combining domestic manufacturers and can we make the real rise of domestic products and truly make domestic products gain a certain position in the world.
This cooperation has been discussed for a long time, and the two sides have finally established deeper cooperation after this negotiation.
As a semiconductor industry second only to TSMC, Huateng company has two lithography machines owned by Huateng company, although most of the lithography machines are from the Netherlands.
These two lithography machines are also Huateng company. The most important two lithography machines are the first two lithography machines of Huateng company.
Compared with other lithography machine production lines, the production lines of these two lithography machines are very secret. Even the processor chips produced every year will directly hide the production line data of these two lithography machines when recording.
Tang Hao plans to customize the production lines of the two lithography machines for Huawei. Although there are only two lithography machine production lines, the production lines of the two lithography machines can produce nearly 80 million processor chips a year, which is also good for Huawei.
Huawei executives know that 80 million yuan is enough for the company, although not much loan. After all, now their processor chips can continue to be developed.
Huawei plans to produce all the 80 million high-end processor chips developed by its own company.
As for other processor chips, Huawei can buy from Huateng. After all, the reputation of Huateng processor chips is also very good, and the price is also very appropriate.
In addition, this time, Huateng is willing to help its own processor OEM, which is a continuation of its own processor chip design. Buying Huateng''s processor chip is also Huawei''s reward for Huateng.
At the same time, Tianyu faction will carry out more in-depth cooperation with Huawei, and will provide Huawei with flash memory operation chips, batteries, sensors and other important components.
Huawei is also willing to conduct more in-depth cooperation with Tianyu faction. After all, the hardware level of Tianyu faction is one of the best in China. Huawei is very happy to cooperate in this regard.
Of course, in return, Huawei also authorizes the communication technology to Tianyu company, which means that Tianyu company can use the level 5 patented technology developed by Huawei to better occupy a certain advantage in the future.
Of course, in addition to the cooperation in hardware and communication technology, the two sides have also conducted deeper cooperation in the future Internet of things technology.
Both Huawei and Tianyu have certain ideas about the Internet of things, and both sides have established a certain ecology.
However, the cooperation between Huawei and Tianyu has been basically established this time, and they need to carry out deeper cooperation in the Internet of things.
Hongmeng OS system is compatible with TOS IOT applications. Similarly, TOS is also compatible with Hongmeng IOT applications.
This means that owning Tianyu mobile phone can also override Hongmeng''s Internet of things smart appliances, and owning Huawei mobile phone can also control TOS ecological appliances.
This means that the two different ecosystems can be interconnected, which greatly expands their ecological influence. Although this cooperation will cause some damage, in short, the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages.
The two countries have a deeper cooperation, which can also make the cooperation between the two countries more smooth.
This time, the most in-depth cooperation between Huawei and Tianyu has brought many possibilities to the two sides. In the future, the two sides will work together more hand in hand, which is more conducive to the development of current companies.
Tong Hao believes that if domestic mobile phone manufacturers can cooperate and bind together tightly, they will not be afraid of any foreign manufacturer at all.
This time, Huawei was a little relieved after getting the cooperation from Tianyu. After all, they thought it was very difficult to get through the difficulties.
Now with the technology blessing of Tianyu company, they can breathe a sigh of relief in the future. At the same time, they can continue to develop their own mobile phone business, so that their own mobile phone business can bring more economic benefits to the company''s technology research and development.
Originally, Huawei also considered cutting off the glory brand to obtain certain funds to develop Huawei''s mobile phone business, but now it seems that it is not necessary to cut off the glory brand.
Of course, the cooperation between the two parties is relatively confidential, and such cooperation can not be fully disclosed as the whole society, especially for the process of processor chip, which is also in the form of confidentiality for the time being.
Only after the future Huawei and Tianyu can be proud of the global mobile phone industry can they really disclose the secret of cooperation.
Now, from the perspective of the outside world, the two companies still have very opposite competitive relations, and even Tianyu will take advantage of Huawei''s events.
The goal of Huawei and Tianyu is to compete. Although the two are now wearing one pair of pants, they should make it appear to people outside that the two are fighting to the death.
Of course, Huateng also got a secret order from Hisilicon for the first time, and this processor is the Kirin 1000 processor chip that TSMC produced 5 million pieces and stopped production.
The Kirin 1000 processor chip adopts a 5-nm manufacturing process, which may be the second processor chip with a 5-nm process in the whole world.
Of course, the first processor chip is the famous apple a series processor chip. As for the 5-nm processor chips of Qualcomm and Samsung, two mobile phone chip designers, it will basically wait until next year.
At present, Huateng company is developing the 3-nm process. The technical reward obtained by Tong Hao in the system has been successfully applied to Huateng company, which makes the technology of Huateng company advance by leaps and bounds, breaking through the 5-nm and 4-nm process processes in almost half a year.
According to the current development of the company, the process technology of 3nm can be broken through basically by the middle of next year.
Although the company has mastered such excellent and advanced technologies, the company has not put these technologies into mass production, and the processor chip of Hisilicon will be the first mass production of 5-nanometer technology.
Now, Huateng also began to design 5 nm or even 4 nm processor chips. It is expected that Huateng will launch its own 4 nm flagship processor chip in the second half of next year or the first half of the next year.
But this time, the standard of Kirin chip is still very high to tell the truth.
In terms of chip design, Kirin has gradually reached the world-class level, and even Qualcomm processor chips can not get any advantages in the face of Kirin chips.
The biggest thing about the upgrade of Kirin chip this time is its GPU. The GPU level of Kirin chip is not very high. To be honest, this time the mobile phone focuses on the upgrade of GPU, which makes Kirin''s performance very good this time.
After all, GPU has a certain impact on the performance of a mobile phone, especially in the game scene, GPU can improve the game experience.
So far, mobile phone manufacturers are very concerned about GPU, and Qualcomm has a certain position in processor chips mainly because of its extremely powerful GPU design technology.
For a long time, Kirin''s GPU level in terms of processor chips is not very strong, which also leads to Kirin''s experience in playing games can''t compare with Qualcomm''s processor chips.
This year, the level of Kirin 1000 processor chip manufactured by our company has been improved, especially the GPU has also been greatly upgraded, which will greatly improve the game experience of users.
In addition to the in-depth cooperation with Huateng, Huawei also continued to conduct in-depth cooperation with liangyin company, a large screen manufacturer, and obtained higher quality mobile phone screens.
After development in recent years, Liangying company has been firmly established in the supply chain of screen manufacturers. It ranks first in China. Compared with Samsung, the world''s first bright silver company, it is not afraid at all.
The screen of liangyin company has been using mobile phones for so many years, and has gradually been recognized by many consumers.
This year''s Huawei mobile phone has made a lot of efforts to ensure the level of mobile phones. It also shows Huawei''s efforts in this regard. It seems that Huawei wants to build its own high-end flagship mobile phone.
Judging from the orders placed by Huawei, the accessories Huawei needs in the supply chain this time belong to the top level.
This also reflects that Huawei mate series may have a big move this year.
Of course, Tianyu doesn''t feel too much pressure on Huawei''s strong accessories this time. After all, although Huawei is strong, Tianyu is not afraid of Huawei at all.
The digital series of peak mobile phones has become the strongest presence among domestic mobile phones, and even the county status has begun to endanger Apple''s position.
This year''s peak mobile phones have given up releasing T-series products, which further proves that this year''s peak mobile phones will reach the top level in product design and configuration.
At the peak of this year, what the mobile phone digital series needs to do is completely surpass Apple mobile phone in terms of single product sales to become the most popular mobile phone in the world, and let many users understand that domestic mobile phones still have very strong strength.
The peak mobile phone should not only beat apple in overall shipments, but also beat apple in word-of-mouth and single product sales.
