"Can't stand the CPU being monopolized by Intel and AMD?" Wang Hong was startled, then laughed:

"Director Wang is very courageous and I can tell you the truth. I have seen them both unhappy for a long time, especially Intel!"

Wang Yi's words touched Wang Hong's heart.

The so-called enemy of my enemy is my friend.

HTC, or VIA's CPU chip business, was originally very strong and had a promising future, able to compete with Intel, but was later beaten to death by Intel's various means.

This hatred is irreconcilable!

Wang Hong dreams of killing her opponent, but unfortunately she doesn't have the strength.

Now that Wang Yi wants to acquire X86, make CPUs, and work on Intel and AMD, Wang Hong naturally likes to hear about it.

What's more, Xingyi Technology has strong strength. Once it enters the PC chip market, Intel will probably have a headache!

He simply said: "Yes, yes, but you have to give a satisfactory price."

Wang Hong is a businessman, so naturally she will not sell VIA at a low price just to make a living!

Wang Yi fell into deep thought. In his previous life, probably around 2020, Zhaoxin acquired VIA.

Including X86 chipset technology and data, patents, licensing, etc., the package was sold for US$258 million.

Of course, that was the price eight years later, after prices soared.

Of course it can't be sold at this price now.

In fact, the price in 2012 is about half of what it will be in 2020.

For example, this year's Apple flagship iPhone 5 starts at 5,288. But the 2020 Apple flagship iPhone 12 pro max starts at 9,299.

As for the iPhone 12, it is an entry-level low-end model, equivalent to next year’s iPhone 5C, and is not a flagship at all.

To put it bluntly, iPhone 12 is next year’s entry-level iPhone 5C, and iPhone 12pro max is the iPhone 5s.

Just changed the name.

Similarly, the Xiaomi Mi 2 starts at 1999 these days, but the Xiaomi Mi 10 in 2020 costs 3999, and the Xiaomi Mi 10 pro starts at 4999, both of which are comparable to the current iPhone.

In a few years, as the currency depreciates, products such as mobile phones will double in price.

Similarly, the price of related technology and business licenses is also twice the current price.

The acquisition of VIA in 2020 will cost 258 million U.S. dollars. Now, 130 million is about the same.

In response, Wang Yi said directly: "100 million U.S. dollars, full acquisition."

"One hundred million US dollars..." Wang Hongliu frowned slightly, which was a bit different from what she expected.

Her ideal price is 150 million U.S. dollars, but she also understands that nearly 1 billion yuan cannot be sold at this price.

Even if the two parties argued for a while, the final transaction price was only 120-130 million US dollars, nothing more.

More than 20 to 30 million US dollars, the difference is not big.

Rather than this, it is better to change to other more favorable conditions.

Wang Hong's plan came to mind: "Director Wang, the price of 100 million US dollars is indeed low, but I can consider it. But there are additional conditions."

"What conditions?" Wang Yi knew that this matter needed to be discussed.

It is even more clear that as the daughter of the richest man in Taiwan and a business elite, Wang Hong is best at maximizing profits.

This was the case last time when I purchased a CDMA license. The price was low, and Wang Hong accepted it, provided that she added the Meiyou general agent in Taiwan!

The result was very successful. Nowadays, HTC mobile phones cannot be sold anymore. Instead, they are making a lot of money because they represent Meiyou and Zhenyou.

So much so that Wang Hong changed many HTC flagship stores with sluggish sales into Meiyou and Zhenyou flagship stores, exclusive stores.

There is no way, it is more profitable to be a clothing agent, HTC cannot starve to death.

This time, it was the same trick again. It seemed that he was targeting something again.

"It's very simple, Director Wang, I want to purchase a batch of Kunpeng 702 SOC!"

Wang Hongtu realized that this was the best condition she could think of in a short period of time.

Kunpeng 702 SOC is so powerful, it is stronger than Qualcomm APQ 8064, and even beats Nvidia Tegra 3.

If HTC can purchase a batch, it will definitely sell well!

More importantly, Kunpeng 702 SOC integrates the baseband, which is lower cost and much cheaper than Qualcomm solutions.

Lower price, higher performance, simply irresistible!

HTC now needs to turn around as soon as possible, and the strongest chip you can buy is the Kunpeng 702 SOC.

As for the next-generation Snapdragon 800, it has not been released yet. The initial supply will not be available until April next year, and it will be launched in June or July next year.

The most important thing is that HTC is no longer what it used to be. It is no longer a top giant and cannot grab the first launch of Snapdragon 800.

Then we can only wait for the large-scale mass production of Snapdragon 800, which will have to be in the third quarter.

Xingyi Technology's chips are developed and produced by ourselves. Once offline, we will give priority to supply, and the processing time will naturally be fast.

But Qualcomm chips are different. After mass production, the initial production capacity is limited and can only be given to first-time manufacturers.

After two or three months, the yield rate will increase and mass production will be possible before large-scale supply to other manufacturers.

This is why major manufacturers are competing to get the first release.

For example, the Snapdragon 800 was released in January, and it will be officially mass-produced in April or May, and the first model will be launched in July.

HTC cannot get the first launch and can only wait until the mass production of Snapdragon 800 in July.

The HTC mobile phone equipped with Snapdragon 800 will be launched in September or October at least.

The previous Xiaomi Mi 3 was launched in October.

This is too slow.

As for the NVIDIA Tegra 4 next door, it may be even slower and will not be released until the fourth quarter of next year.

Samsung’s new flagship is similar, and HTC doesn’t dare to buy it.

After all, Samsung cut off the screen supply, which caused the demise of HTC's first-generation miracle machine. Wang Hong even dared not buy Samsung processors anymore.

Before Snapdragon 800 and Tegra 4, Kunpeng 702 SOC was the strongest chip, bar none.

More importantly, Kunpeng 702 SOC has been mass-produced and commercially available, so there is no need to wait.

As long as HTC gets the Kunpeng 702 SOC, it will be far ahead. Until next October, when mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 800 are launched on a large scale, it will be in an invincible stage!

At least seven or eight months of lead time is enough for HTC to make a comeback.

Wang Yi understood Wang Hong's plan for a moment, and then fell into hesitation.

Don't sell it, this guy got Wang Yi right, don't even want the X86 license.

If it is sold, HTC has the Kunpeng 702 SOC, which will have some impact on the xphone 2 Kunpeng version, although the impact is very small.

After some hesitation, Wang Yi decided to sell!

But it won’t be available now, but in two months!

Otherwise, the X86 architecture belongs to Intel. Apart from this, only AMD and VIA have authorization.

But obviously, Intel will no longer license it to external parties.

It is even more impossible for AMD to sell its license to Wang Yi. Then AMD will not be able to make CPUs. This is unrealistic.

The only way out is to acquire Wang Hong’s VIA!

Wang Yi had no choice.

I can only accept it.

And the supply will be available in two months, that is, the chips will be supplied in February next year.

Coupled with the production time of mobile phones and the time of transportation and distribution, it will be March or April when HTC's new phone is launched.

At that time, Kunpeng 902 SOC was about to be mass-produced, and the xphone 2pro equipped with Kunpeng 902 SOC was about to be launched.

Then the Kunpeng 702 SOC installed on HTC's new flagship has become a sub-flagship chip, so there is no need to worry.

By then, Kunpeng 702 SOC will become the sub-flagship, and Wang Yiben planned to sell it to the outside world.

Thinking of this, Wang Yi replied: "Originally I didn't plan to sell Kunpeng 702 SOC, but you have already asked, so it's not impossible. But the current production capacity is tight, we don't have enough ourselves, and we have to supply it in February at the earliest!"

"February?" Wang Hong nodded: "Yes, it will take time to change the core of our new phone, optimize and adapt it. You have to give us some Kunpeng 702 SOC first and let us develop the new phone."

Wang Hong decided not to develop it from scratch, but to use two months to replace HTC's next-generation new phone with Kunpeng 702 SOC!

"That's no problem." Wang Yi readily agreed.

"The price..." Wang Hong couldn't help but ask.

"How much do you want?"

Wang Hong thought for a while: "Maybe 5 million!"

This size is just right.
