Wang Yi continued: "Whether it is Huawei, Meizu, Xiaomi, or our Xingyi Technology, all smartphones made must use foreign components!"

"For example, the newly released Xiaomi mobile phone costs 1,500. If he sells it for 1,999, he will make a few hundred yuan in profit. Most of the remaining 1,500 will be earned by foreign supply chains!"

"You mean, we domestic mobile phone brands are working for foreign suppliers to make money for them?"

Director Qin's face looked ugly.

Wang Yi nodded: "That's right."

Director Qin didn't say anything else, but his expression turned very ugly.

Wang Yi sighed and continued: "There is no way. Smartphones have just started. Part of our domestic industrial chain is blank, and part of it is too backward. We can only use imported ones!"

"For example, screens are too poor in China, so you can only use Samsung, Sony, Sharp, JDI, etc. For chips, you can only use Qualcomm, Samsung. The same goes for lenses and the like."

"Even if we want to use domestic products, let's not talk about whether the performance can catch up with foreign giants. The problem is that many components are simply not available in China!"

"So, we can only watch helplessly as all our money is stolen by foreign supply chains! Domestic brands like us have to grovel to please each other, rush to give money to others, and beg them to sell us components!

"

Wang Yi's words were spoken from the bottom of his heart.

Rebus is the perfect example!

For the supply chain, Rebus ran around and begged everywhere.

Even if Xiaomi became bigger in 2015, because a certain executive offended a Samsung executive and was blocked by Samsung, it could not get Samsung's flagship screen, so Xiaomi's mobile phone had to be postponed.

In the end, it was Rebus who found several influential friends as lobbyists, personally flew to Kimchi Country, punished himself many times, and apologized repeatedly, before Samsung agreed to supply!

Moreover, it was only two years later that AMOLED screens were provided to Xiaomi!

So much so that the Mi 8 released by Xiaomi in 2018 used Samsung Amoled screen!

For many years since then, Xiaomi has launched all high-end Samsung screens and never dared to offend the other party again!

There is no way, Samsung is the only one with flagship screens, domestic products cannot keep up, and there are no substitutes, so we can only grovel.

This is not only true for the screen, but also for Qualcomm's processor.

Every time Qualcomm releases a new processor, all domestic brands have to collectively forward it and use their platforms to rush to launch Qualcomm's new processor.

Even if I know that the fever is serious and the car has overturned, I still have to use it.

For example, the 2015 Snapdragon 810 is known as the first generation of fire dragons! It is so serious that it is not as easy to use as the previous generation.

For this reason, Samsung mobile phones directly abandoned the 810 and switched to its own Orion for all series.

But domestic brands have to bite the bullet and purchase in large quantities...

There is no way, if you don’t purchase the overturned 810 this year, don’t even think about purchasing the 820 next year!

The supply chain is controlled by others and can only be passive everywhere.

Director Qin frowned and sighed longly:

"Wang Yi, you are right! The domestic mobile phone supply chain cannot always be controlled by others. The hidden dangers are too great, and the profits cannot be taken away by foreign giants! Therefore, you want the management committee to take the lead in promoting the development of the domestic smartphone supply chain.

?”

"Director Qin is wise. Such an arduous undertaking can only be successful if the imperial capital takes the lead."

Wang Yi took a deep breath: "If the domestic supply chain is not supported and has no enterprise use, it will not develop. In this way, the gap with foreign countries will only become wider and wider. We will always be controlled by others, and most of the profits will be taken by foreign giants.

Make money. By then, even if our domestically produced mobile phones become the best in the world, we will still be working for foreign giants!"

"On the contrary, only by building our own domestic supply chain can we keep profits in the country as much as possible! Only in this way can we drive the development of our industrial chain, drive our economic development, create jobs for us, and create GDP!"

"Okay, okay, very good!"

Director Qin said three good things in a row: "I can't believe that at such a young age, you have such a pattern and such a vision! Very good, very good!"

"This is a big and difficult thing, but it has to be done. We have this obligation and this responsibility. But do you have a plan for how to do it specifically?"

"Yes!" Wang Yi immediately opened the bag and took out a document:

"Director Qin, look, I prepared this before. I am worried about how I will find an opportunity to hand it over."

Director Qin didn't say anything, he just took out his glasses and looked at them carefully:

[Research Report on the Development of Domestic Smartphone Industry Chain]

Processor: The technical content is extremely high, mass production is more difficult, and it is difficult for domestic products to break through.

RAM memory, ROM storage: high technical content, huge investment in tackling difficult problems, and domestic breakthrough is expected.

Screen: High technology content, BOE is making rapid progress, continues to invest, and is expected to achieve breakthroughs!

Battery: The technical content is average. We support excellent domestic brands, such as Pinsheng, Noxi, Scud, Baseus, etc., so that domestic substitution can be achieved.

Cameras: High technology content, continuous support, Sunny, Chenrui Optics, OFILM, etc., can achieve domestic substitution in the future.

Cooling module, charging module, vibration motor, earpiece, microphone, speaker, sensor: most of them can be replaced by domestic products.

[Support methods]

Drawing on Feishi's strategy of investing and supporting BOE, major cities will provide one-on-one support to high-quality supplier companies in the city, promote the development of the industrial chain, form an industrial cluster effect, drive employment, and stimulate the economy...

[Production and marketing cycle]

Domestic mobile phone brands are encouraged to actively adopt high-quality domestic components and promote the domestic industrial chain to become bigger and stronger. Enterprises that use a high proportion of domestic components will be provided with tax incentives and other support.

【Xingyi Mission】

Xingyi mobile phones will use some high-quality domestic components to effectively support the domestic industrial chain!

In 2012, it invested 50 million to develop a mid- to low-end mobile phone with domestically produced components, which was launched in 2013!

【Ultimate Problem】

Processor chip development and design problems are difficult, and manufacturing problems are even more difficult. It involves wafer factory processes and high-end photolithography machines, and it is really hard to think of a solution...

…

After reading it, Director Qin fell silent.

He took a deep breath and said: "Wang Yi, you are very good. The analysis of the entire report is well-founded, has prospects, plans, development, and solutions! I will submit your report as soon as possible! I

On behalf of the management committee, I will express my strong support for what you mentioned. If you need anything in the future, please contact me directly!"

With that said, Director Qin and Wang Yi exchanged contact information.

Wang Yi knew in his heart that something was going on!

Officials definitely want to localize smartphone components and promote the development of domestic supply chains!

Wang Yi took the initiative and the height went up.

It also proactively proposed to develop mobile phones with nationally produced components, and it is a real fulfillment of this responsibility!

It's impossible not to be supported.

Previously, Wang Yi wanted to let the official layout of photolithography machines and semiconductors, but his words may not be useful.

Even if Beihang University is involved, a group of academicians with the same vision may not be able to see it enough.

But now, Wang Yi has changed his mind!

Directly practice it, proactively propose research and development, produce domestic component mobile phones, and promote the development of the domestic supply chain!

Naturally, it will gain the trust of the authorities, and it will be more convincing if the chip issue is raised at that time.

More importantly, when all other components of smartphones are domestically produced, all technical problems will be solved. Only chips are left, and photolithography machines cannot solve them!

No need for Wang Yi to say, the officials will find a solution on their own!

After all, without chips, the entire domestic supply chain cannot be closed-loop!

All other nodes have broken through. Is all the previous efforts wasted just because of the final chip problem?

This definitely won't work.

Some things can be easily solved by changing your thinking.

Wang Yi couldn't solve the problem of photolithography machines and chips, so he had to leave it to the authorities.

But there is no problem if Xingyi mobile phones use domestic components and promote the development of domestic supply chains.

As long as the domestic industrial chain develops, there is no need to be controlled by others!

Wang Yi made up his mind that for the first generation of Xingyi mobile phones, the screen, processor, Ram, lens and other core components would have to be from foreign giants.

But domestically produced motors, batteries, earpieces, etc. are enough.

For example, when it comes to batteries, the Desai batteries Xiaomi used in the first generation had unstable voltage and frequent shutdowns. Later, they were all replaced with Scud batteries, and there were no problems anymore.

There is no need to lick your face and ask Sony and Samsung for Wang Yi’s Xingyi mobile phone battery. You have to use Sony and Samsung’s battery, and it will be better than it is!

There are also lenses. The current domestic lenses are not good enough, so we have to use Japanese and Korean lenses.

In a few years, iPhones will start to use Sunny and Ofilon lenses!

Wait until next year to develop a low-end mobile phone, similar to Huawei's Enjoy series and Honor series, and Xiaomi's Redmi series!
