They had screwed up.
Samsin's plan of "burning down the memory factory" had completely failed. It was a three-pronged strategy.
The netizens below Samsin's official Weibo account were full of curses.
"I will never use any of Samsin's products again! I will only use domestic products! "
"Boycott Samsin!"
"Samsin get out of Z country!"
"Take your memory chips and screens and get lost!"
"I will never use your products no matter how good they are!"
The majority of parents also cursed at Samsin.
"Damn Koreans, your hearts are really evil!"
"How dare you make my child unable to get into a good university!"
"Let's go and smash Samsin!"
"I will never travel to Gorea again. I will not buy cosmetics from Gorea. If my child pursues Gorea again, I will beat him to death!"
"You people with ulcers on your head and pus on the soles of your feet! You are so bad! "
The entire Z nation was scolding Samsin and cursing the company to the bone.
The company had no choice but to close its official Weibo account. It did not respond or comment, acting like a coward.
Even so, the person in charge of the company stationed in Z country was beaten up by a group of young people.
The company's factories in Z country were attacked or smashed by many angry netizens.
The Z country's workers in Samsin's factories could not withstand the huge public pressure and chose to resign in large numbers.
In many mobile phone business halls, customers demanded that Samsin's products be removed. Otherwise, they would smash everything they saw.
Samsin's profits were affected to a certain extent. The company suffered heavy losses.
But this was far from enough!
Although a lot of people had expressed their desire to boycott Samsin's products and that, and they had made various videos of people smashing Samsin's products, it wouldn't be long before people forgot about it. They would still buy what they should buy, and they would still go where they should go … These people's memories were short-lived.
As for those netizens who had a certain level of persistence, it was not that they were unwilling to spend money or support domestic products. But where were the domestic products?
They wanted to buy a 100% domestic mobile phone that used a domestic CPU, screen, and memory chip, but they could not find it in the market.
In this world of globalization and industrial cooperation, even the superpower M country could not produce all the core components of a single country.
Therefore, even if the patriotic netizens wanted to support domestic products, the mobile phones they bought would still have Samsin's components.
They might still give money to the company they hated the most … unless they did not buy the phones.
However, Chen Jin intended to change this situation.
He decided to use this opportunity to stab Samsin in the back!
He picked up his phone and called Brother Lei to tell him what he thought.
After hearing his thoughts, Lei Xiao Jun was shocked!
"You want Da Mi to make a 100% domestic mobile phone that uses domestic CPU, screen, memory, storage, and other core components made in China? You want to introduce it to the market so that people who are willing to support domestic products can buy a real domestic mobile phone."
"Speaking of which, are you joking, Brother Chen? Even Hua Yao, with its powerful technology, cannot produce 100% of its products domestically. Hua Yao has its own Kirin CPU and is a shareholder and strategic partner of Oriental Crystal. However, in terms of core components, Hua Yao has only produced CPUs and screens domestically. They can only purchase memory chips and storage chips from Samsin."
"Give me a break, Brother Chen. Da Mi used to make its own CPU, but that thing burned too much money. In the end, they had to give up. Hua Yao's Kirin CPU is very strong, but because it is a foreign technology license, they cannot sell it to other companies. So, they can only use Qualcomm chips."
"As for memory chips and storage chips, there are domestic substitutes, but their performance is too poor. They are at least one or two generations behind the foreign ones. Because of the low conformity rate, they have no advantage in terms of price. Making a 100% domestic mobile phone like this will have a low price-performance ratio and will not be competitive in the market. It will be an arduous and thankless task!"
Lei Xiao Jun shook his head. "Brother Chen, I completely understand your feelings. But mobile phones are different from your company's learning machines and robots. Consumers want higher performance and better experience! Patriotism can bring in a certain amount of sales, but it cannot support a company in the long run. What really matters is the competitiveness of the product. "
Therefore, he tactfully rejected Chen Jin's idea of making a 100% domestic mobile phone.
However, Chen Jin had expected this response. So, he revealed some things that made Brother Lei's eyes widen.
For example, the "virtual factory" technology.
For example, the 7-nanometer chip manufacturing technology that Zhong Xin International was tackling.
He also eliminated a few of Lei Xiao Jun's worries.
"Brother Lei, after the virtual factory's improvement of the memory production line of Purple Ray Corporation, the working frequency of the LPDDR3 memory chip has been increased to 2133 Mhz. It is 33% higher than the previous 1600MHZ. Its performance is less than 20% lower than Samsin's LPDDR4X. The user experience is not much different.
Recently, Xing Hai Technologies and Teng Xun have collaborated to develop a mid-range and high-end mobile phone chip called SX800. It is produced using Zhong Xin International's 14-nanometer + OEM process. Antutu has a running score of 210,000. Its performance is equivalent to the Snapdragon 725 released by Qualcomm last year. It is sufficient for daily use.
The technical gap between domestic NAND memory chips is the smallest compared to foreign ones. The production capacity is very sufficient. I heard that Da Mi Technologies has already used the UFS chips produced by Da Jiang Storage Factory in some of their mid-range phones. Brother Lei, you should know how its performance is.
Coupled with Crystal Oriental's screen …
Brother Lei, if your Da Mi Technologies can release a mid-range, 100% domestic mobile phone within this year, I believe that many people will buy it as long as the price is right.
Even if Brother Lei announces that you want to make a 100% domestic mobile phone now, it will immediately raise the image of Da Mi Technologies in the hearts of the people!
Or it could redeem the image of Da Mi Technologies that was severely damaged by the huge fine from the European Union last year!
Therefore, this suggestion made Brother Lei's eyes light up. His heart thumped as he nodded. "Brother Chen, your suggestion is very good. I will immediately get someone to announce that Da Mi Technologies wants to make a 100% domestic mobile phone!"
In addition, Chen Jin also encouraged him. "Don't have any concerns. If Samsin sanctions Da Mi and implements a ban on the sale of chips in Da Mi mobile phones, Xing Hai Technologies will help you solve the problem. With the virtual factory, we will be able to catch up with the technological gap in two years at most and create chips with better performance! As long as Da Mi establishes the brand of a 100% domestic mobile phone, it will definitely bring about great benefits. "
"Yes! This is very good! "
Brother Lei nodded. Due to the lack of innovation, Da Mi's mobile phone performance had been sluggish for the past two years. Their shipments were not even half of Hua Yao's. If they did not find a way to remedy the situation, Da Mi's market share would only become smaller.
Chen Jin's suggestion to make a "100% domestic mobile phone" might be the best way to recover from the decline.
Brother Lei, who immediately accepted Chen Jin's suggestion, expressed through various channels that he wanted to make a 100% domestic mobile phone with independent core components!
Once this news was announced.
The response from the netizens was very enthusiastic!
"Support Brother Lei, support Da Mi!"
"As long as Da Mi launches a 100% domestic mobile phone, as long as Brother Lei doesn't play tricks, I will definitely buy it!"
"There's no need to change phones for now, but I must get my hands on a 100% domestic mobile phone!"
"The original rice noodles have announced their return. I hope Brother Lei will keep his word this time and not waste our patriotism!"
"Eh, Da Mi has already made its position known. What about Hua Yao? Did Hua Yao say whether or not they will make a 100% domestic mobile phone? "
Countless netizens ran to Hua Yao's official Weibo account and asked one after another, "Even Da Mi, which has no core technologies, has announced that it will make a 100% domestic mobile phone. Hua Yao, what's your plan?"
The vast number of Hua Yao mobile phone fans hoped that Hua Yao would also make a 100% domestic mobile phone and completely break away from the dependence on Samsin's core components.
However, a few days had passed.
Hua Yao did not make a clear statement. They only said that they were studying it.
Chen Jin personally called the CEO of Hua Yao, Zhao Ming, and asked if he was willing to cooperate with Xing Hai Technologies to create a 100% domestic mobile phone.
Zhao Ming's tone was tactful. "We will consider this issue, but we will not take action for the time being. Thank you for your kindness, President Chen."
“？？”
Chen Jin was very puzzled. Could it be that Hua Yao was not interested in a 100% domestic mobile phone?
It was Brother Lei who answered his doubts. "Hua Yao is a multinational company with a large market share in Europe. If Hua Yao offends Samsin, I'm afraid that they will lose their profits in the European market. The profit margin of Da Mi's mobile phone is not high. Selling a few million less units won't affect us much. But Hua Yao can't do that. In order to ensure a good experience for European users, Hua Yao can only purchase chips from Samsin with better performance."
Unless there was a domestic company that made better memory chips and storage chips, Hua Yao would not announce that it would make a 100% domestic mobile phone.
(The executives of Hua Yao did not know about the "virtual factory" technology. Chen Jin did not intend to tell too many people. If Hua Yao knew about this technology, their attitude would probably be completely different.)
So that was it.
Chen Jin nodded.
