Chapter 1381 Changes
According to Intel's original plan, although it has released the 14nm Core processor in the middle of the year, it will still take until early 2015 for it to be officially launched.
This is undoubtedly the time for Intel to continue to improve yield and polish its technology. After all, it has the world's best process technology.
However, the breakthrough of the ice core shocked the world, and the title of "world's number one" changed hands. This made Intel unable to sit still, and after weighing the pros and cons, it made a new decision.
The ice core from the East was collected this year, so not only will ours be collected as well, but it will also be collected in 2014.
Coincidentally, as soon as Intel had such news, another leading wafer manufacturing company also released the latest news through communication with customers, saying that Taiwan Semiconductor will complete the introduction of customer products on 1nm in Q16.
This time is also earlier than the original arrangement.
After Intel and Taiwan News took action, Samsung, which was hit hardest by Yike+IceCore, also took action. It, it...its leader Lee Kun-hee appeared and spoke.
Intel and Taiwan are taking action on process technology, while Samsung is making trouble in public opinion. However, it is also unable to mention process technology.
Samsung already had problems with its 28nm process technology. After finally surviving a year, it faced the betrayal of its major customer Apple on the one hand, and on the other hand it was only advancing the 20nm process step by step.
The 28nm process was patched up desperately and was still satisfactory, while the 20nm process was adapted to the gate-from-front solution, and its process progress was actually very satisfactory to Samsung internally.
Samsung is quite ambitious in wafer manufacturing this year, but...
Unfortunately, Bingxin International next door pushed its strength to the maximum and launched 16nm, overtaking Samsung's high-end mobile phone Trump series!
It is difficult for this manufacturing process to give a strong response like Intel and Taiwan reporters, so the only option is to ask the respected leader Lee Kun-hee.
Although Lee Kun-hee took over Samsung from his father, he single-handedly developed Samsung from a second-rate company into an electronics giant over the years, which is famous not only in South Korea but also in the world.
People at that time commented on him, "He speaks softly, but as long as Lee Kun-hee coughs, the whole of South Korea will catch a cold."
The head of Samsung gave a rare interview in recent years because of the progress of Yike and Bingxin, and used a lot of space to comment on this news that also shocked him.
"YiKe has become a global mobile phone giant by leveraging its advantages in the Chinese market."
"The most important thing is that Yike has completed the control of upstream and downstream industries, whether it is hardware or software, whether it is self-designed chips or persistent manufacturing, this system with Yike as the core has taken shape."
"It is surprising that Bingxin International is the first to launch 16nm, but with such a complete system, its progress is only a matter of time."
“I admire the company’s achievements in such a long time, but, as the vice president of Taiji said, the linkage between Yike and Bingxin is a serious disruption to the global supply chain.”
"It's time to take more competitive action against it, otherwise a new Nokia will be born."
"No, a new Nokia has emerged."
"Nokia has fallen. The world does not need a second Nokia, let alone a Nokia from China!"
Lee Kun-hee highly praised Yi Ke's achievements. As for his accusations and appeals, the former involved reporters, while the latter was undoubtedly a call to the leaders of the international order.
It has to be said that this voice from the former head of Samsung did add fuel to the public opinion and was widely reprinted by many well-known media.
Yike products are still selling like hot cakes, and there has been no extensive coverage of Samsung’s troubles in China, and the limited coverage has also attracted unanimous ridicule from netizens.
Fang Zhuo also received many interview requests from overseas media after the aging Lee Kun-hee was interviewed. After hesitating for two days, he finally agreed to the exclusive interview from Bloomberg.
This kind of public opinion offensive has always existed, but it is particularly strong because of Yi Ke’s Mars 8.8. Simply avoiding it is not a good way to deal with it.
If even the people from Yi Ke remain silent, the already bad situation will become even worse, and naturally no one else will follow suit and speak out.
Bloomberg is an old friend. This interview was not conducted over the phone. Instead, the reporter flew directly to Shanghai for an interview.
Fang Zhuo appeared in high spirits in the interview, seemingly unaffected by some recent American public opinions. He politely responded to the concern of the Samsung boss right away.
"I noticed that some people were talking about Yike's products recently, but I was still surprised that Samsung's CEO Lee Kun-hee also came out."
"I have wanted to visit Mr. Li at Samsung several times, but I never made it. This time, when I heard Mr. Li's evaluation of Yi Ke, I was grateful for his concern, but I also had mixed feelings."
Fang Zhuo suddenly laughed when he said this: "After all, Samsung brought Mr. Li out of the hospital to speak out. They really care about the decline in their share of the global mobile phone market over the past year."
He knew that the health condition of the Samsung leader was not good, and Samsung was obviously speeding up the handover of work to Crown Prince Lee Jae-yong.
"Samsung is not satisfied with Yike's lead, which is understandable to me. The direct competition between the two companies has already determined the winner. As for the sabotage mentioned by President Li..."
"It's strange that Yike has been quite pioneering in smartphones over the years. We have participated in the construction of the Android system together with Google, breaking the closed nature of those systems in the past and also using open source."
"Ever since entering the mobile phone market, Yike has been troubled by patents. We fought hard against Nokia and other companies, promoted progressive thinking, and eventually formed a new patent framework and established the PRO Alliance for cross-patent licensing. A number of well-known manufacturers such as HTC and Sony Ericsson are members of the alliance, and Samsung is also a beneficiary."
"Also, Yike has made high investments and extensive cooperation in hardware. We have satisfactory connections with world-renowned suppliers such as Germany's Schott Glass Factory and Japan's Sharp."
"YiKe actively participates in promoting the global supply chain, actively leads the development of smartphones, and actively provides better products for global consumers."
"Eco has never intended to be Nokia. It will only be the unique Eco."
“We are responsible to our partners, to our consumers, and to the vast number of Nasdaq investors.”
Fang Zhuo spoke eloquently in front of the camera, mentioning some of Yike's developments over the past few years, and also mentioned the investors who shared the growth benefits with Yike.
As a listed company, Yike is stimulated by recent good news and is one of the few listed companies on Nasdaq, which in itself is linked to the interests of many institutions and shareholders.
The head of Yi Ke did not avoid the problem, and as expected, it did have some effect.
Yu Hong, who had just planned to fly back to Shanghai, called and mentioned the latest invitation she had received. Washington invited Yi Ke’s senior management to discuss measures that would be more in line with the company’s development interests.
"Just let Schroeder go. Someone still needs to keep an eye on Yike's development in China." Fang Zhuo frowned when he received President Yu's call.
"You don't avoid the issue. People are also paying attention to the Chinese label. I have to show up anyway. Why should I avoid it?" Yu Hong said with a smile, "It seems that there is no sincerity in letting Schroeder go. Let's try our best to mediate."
She talked about the company's established policy, that no matter what challenges they face, they will stick to the bottom line and mediate where possible.
"I will not avoid problems, but I will not avoid problems while I am in the country..." Fang Zhuo has some concerns.
"Yes, Mr. Fang is the most flexible and cunning." Yu Hong said, "Nothing has happened yet. If you are really anxious to slip back, you have to wait until the situation becomes intense. I think the recent public opinion is not very good, but the real attitude of Washington is quite ambiguous."
Fang Zhuo nodded, thinking that he had friends in power after all, so he wouldn't be so quick to start fighting.
Yu Hong has actually been handed over some of her powers in the United States recently, not only in relation to Yi Ke’s affairs, but also in relation to lobbying chief Zhao Zhishan and fund chief Kong Yu, who will provide information for reference.
This made Yu Hong even more confident than before.
Fang Zhuo was finally convinced. Yi Ke was not only his, but also... belonged to the shadow shareholders. It was still possible to share the news in advance and avoid danger.
Even the Washington conference that President Yu mentioned was only announced shortly after the phone call ended, and even the main measure they wanted was revealed, which was to cut off the connection between Yi Ke and Bing Xin.
Fang Zhuo pondered the changes that had already occurred, thought about the actions of his competitors, remembered the sense of ceremony of Intel's listing on the 31st of the year, and gave YMS an order with a little melancholy.
"Let Yisou also go online on December 12st. To bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, everyone should have some sense of ceremony. Intel should have it, Yike should have it, and Duji should also have it."
When Qi He received the order, he realized that the responsibility for bidding farewell lay entirely with Intel.
While he was determined to carry out the plan, he also asked one thing. According to the plan, the short video software invested by Yike would also be launched. How would this sense of ceremony be handled?
Fang Zhuo didn't hesitate and gave the answer: "Next year on the 1st, this is for welcoming the new students."
Ahem, outrageous, I had some work at the last minute, which disrupted my plan to write...
