Chapter 214 Those who work for everyone should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow (6K)

"However, we are still willing to purchase their chips."

"Host, why do you think it is?"

Dong Qian began to think about Hu Lai's questions.

However, Hu Lai didn't really want her to answer. After a brief pause, he continued.

"Strictly speaking, Jingjiawei's main business is to provide high-reliability electronic products for our military industry."

"For a long time, they have not produced GPU chips for gaming, entertainment and design and drawing. It was only after Huawei Group was blocked in the past two years that they began to try to develop in the field of consumer graphics chips."

"I originally thought it was because the company's strategic focus was not in the field of consumer graphics chips, but after communicating with the CEO of Jingjiawei, I found out that it was not that they did not want to get involved in consumer graphics chips, but..."

"But there is nothing you can do...or you can't make money by entering this field!"

"Not making money?" Dong Qian blurted out from the side.

Hu Lai couldn't help but show a wry smile, nodded and said:

"Yes, it doesn't make any money."

"It is as powerful as domestic GPU chip leaders like Jingjiawei, but in fact, their graphics card chip - JM9200, can only reach the level of RTX 1050, which is the level of Nvidia in 2016."

"Moreover, even if the graphics card performance of RTX 1050 is achieved, how many computer companies are willing to purchase their graphics cards? How many consumers are willing to use their graphics cards?"

Hu Lai said this with a smile, but Dong Qian sounded a little chilly.

This is the reality.

Nvidia and AMD (ATI), which monopolize global chips, are not only more mature in terms of quality and technology, but have also been tested by the market. They already have a very good reputation among consumers, and their brand recognition is much higher than that of the market.

Jiawei.

So.

Between a Nvidia graphics card and a Jingjiawei graphics card, which brand will consumers ultimately pay for?

The answer is obvious.

No wonder consumers, no one wants to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to buy a graphics card and be taken advantage of. Everyone wants to buy a product that is worry-free and easy to use.

Can you blame the computer host manufacturers?

Neither can.

Host manufacturers also want to make money, and if consumers are unwilling to pay for Jingjiawei, there is nothing they can do.

At this moment, Dong Qian suddenly understood what Hu said by "not making money".

In an industry with such high technical barriers and fierce competition, there is a technological generation gap with the top Nvidia and AMD. The only way for all domestic GPU chip companies to break through in the market of the two major oligarchs is to reduce prices.

But!

It sounds easy to say, but the reduction is small, and the host manufacturers are not willing to pay the bill. The reduction is much larger...

That is a proper way to make money at a loss!

Without profits, how can we make up for the technological gap of six or seven generations?

Without profit, what's the point of entering the graphics card chip field?

Even if there is support from national industrial funds, how long will the subsidies last?

In a daze, another random voice came to Dong Qian's ears.

"I've read a lot of online reports these days, and many netizens are saying, why can our country even make 'two bombs and one satellite', but not even a single chip?"

"Actually, these are two different things. 'Two bombs and one satellite' are related to national security, while commercial-grade chips are just business competition."

"At the military level related to national security, we have long since achieved national production of chips."

"Because military chips do not need to be commercialized, there is no need to consider issues such as heat dissipation, weight, service life, etc. in design. Even many missile chips are disposable consumables, and only need to ensure stability."

After saying this, Hu Lai's tone became more relaxed, with a slight smile in his voice.

"It's hard for you to imagine that the world's top aircraft, such as the F22, was initially equipped with only 12 150-nanometer Inet CPUs, and the CPU performance was not as good as the previous Hongguo 6 mobile phone."

"So, the competition in the chip industry is actually a business behavior. In the competition of chips, we can only talk about money."

Dong Qian nodded thoughtfully, and his thoughts returned to what Mr. Hu just said about purchasing Jingjia microchips.

"Mr. Hu, you just said that Phoenix is ​​willing to purchase Jingjiawei's chips because...?"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Lai understood what Dong Qian wanted to ask.

At this time, Hu Lai had completely relaxed. At this moment, he did not feel that he was being interviewed in front of the camera, and he completely expressed his inner thoughts.

"Yes, we are willing to purchase Jingjiawei's graphics cards. We just want to use Jingjiawei's graphics cards in client products through the Phoenix laptop platform, so that Jingjiawei's graphics cards can truly enter the market and truly begin to accept the market.

test."

"During this process, we will also continue to provide feedback to Jingjia Micro's technical team based on customer feedback to assist them in faster technical iterations."

Help Jingjia Micro technology iterate?

Not only Dong Qian, but also the netizens in front of the TV and the live broadcast room were in awe at this moment. I didn't expect Mr. Hu from Phoenix to have such an idea.

Dong Qian immediately thought of countless questions in her mind, and she completely entered the interview mode:

"As you just said, Jingjiawei's graphics cards are worse than Nvidia and AMD in terms of performance and quality control. So if Jingjiawei's graphics cards are used in Phoenix laptops, does it count as a negative impact on Phoenix computers?

What about a kind of irresponsibility on the part of the customer?”

"Or are you using Phoenix Computer's customers as the first batch of guinea pigs?"

Her question was very pointed, so pointed that it was difficult to answer.

Hu Lai's expression did not change. He had obviously thought about it a long time ago and said calmly:

"Of course not. We will release a small amount of the first batch and will inform all customers very clearly, and..."

"For these computers equipped with Jingjia micro-graphics cards, Phoenix Computer will implement a policy of free replacement for up to five years and free maintenance for ten years. Even if the customer regrets and is dissatisfied, we can also replace the graphics card with another brand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Qian continued:

"Then Phoenix Computer will bear all these expenses itself?"

"Or does it have a similar after-sales agreement with Jingjiawei?"

Hu Lai shook his head.

"These are small things, we at Phoenix Computer can handle them ourselves."

Seeing Hu Lai's sincere words, Dong Qian couldn't help but gently applaud. Suddenly, there was something about Mr. Phoenix Hu in front of her that she couldn't understand.

At this moment, Phoenix Hu doesn't look like a simple businessman, nor a capitalist, but more like an entrepreneur.

An entrepreneur with self-charisma and feelings for his family and country.

Under the crisp applause, Hu Lai showed a smile for the first time, then waved his hand and said:

"Because the chip industry is an 'inverted pyramid' industry, the leading companies at the top of the 'inverted pyramid' make the most profits and take the largest market share, while the companies at the bottom have almost no profits, so it is difficult for new chip companies to develop."

"As for our domestic chip companies, almost all of them are new chip companies, and they have no advantages in all dimensions."

"So...we at Phoenix Group are only doing our little bit to help domestic chip companies develop."

Hu Lai's calm words were broadcast around the world through camera lenses.

The audience in front of the TV, the netizens on the Internet, the CEOs of domestic computer host manufacturers and even the CEOs of some chip companies that are still in the entrepreneurial stage all heard Hu Lai's words clearly.

Do your best to help domestic chip companies develop.

What kind of feelings does Mr. Hu have?

The audience and netizens felt instantly warmed, and Hu Lai's firm words undoubtedly touched their hearts.

At this moment, Hu Lai was a real Yanguo entrepreneur in their hearts, a responsible entrepreneur.

The CEOs of domestic notebook manufacturers such as Shenzhou Notebook, Founder, and Rice Notebook also fell into deep thought...

The most exciting ones are the entrepreneurs of chip companies who are in the entrepreneurial stage. Most of them are young people with real ideals and ambitions at heart.

However, the success of science and technology is not just about having ideals, ambitions and technology. In the end, it still needs commercialization and "Bole". And now, there is finally a company willing to support the development of domestic chip companies!

At this moment, many people’s eyes were shining!

At this moment, Dong Qian was also a little moved.

However, she quickly adjusted and the interview will continue.

She took a deep breath, looked at Hu Lai and asked curiously:

"Just now, Mr. Hu, you said that Phoenix Group is trying its best to help domestic chip companies develop."

"As far as I know, Phoenix Group also has its own semiconductor industry. Aren't you afraid that supporting other chip companies will affect Phoenix Semiconductor's orders?"

After listening, Hu Lai laughed loudly at the camera:

"Needless to say, the output value of global chip companies in 2021 has reached 583.5 billion U.S. dollars, about 4 trillion RMB."

"Even the output value of imported chips from our country has reached 370 billion U.S. dollars, about 2.5 trillion RMB."
