Chapter 643
The price of the chip is too high to be a big deal.
Looking at the company CEOs in the audience, they were all in disbelief at the price, as if they had seen a ghost.
Su Mo, who was sitting in the leadership seat, sighed and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
The same 4nm process chip is sold for 1450 dragon yuan in the West.
Is he making money by selling it for only 350?
The answer is: Yes!
And it’s a huge profit!
Why?
Because Su Mo said long ago: Making money from standing at the commanding heights of technology is faster than robbing money!
The 4nm third-generation Snapdragon 8 silicon-based chip, the purchase price of major mobile phone manufacturers some time ago was around 1450-1500.
But what is the actual production cost of this chip?
Su Mo does not know the cost of the third-generation Snapdragon 8, which is the core secret of the chip alliance.
But the same 4nm process of the “Kunpeng” quantum chip, each cost is about 19 yuan.
Yes!
That’s right!
It’s 19 yuan!
And it’s not 19 US dollars, nor 19 pounds, but 19 dragon yuan!
If it is a 5-nanometer or 7-nanometer process chip, the production cost is only a few dollars.
With such a low cost, why dare the West sell it for more than a thousand?
No other, technology monopoly!
Without competitors, they can unscrupulously stand on the commanding heights of technology to rob money!
Just like in “I’m Not the God of Medicine”, the special medicine for treating chronic myeloid leukemia: Gleevec.
The production cost of this drug is only more than 30 yuan per bottle.
But the watch country’s Nova Pharmaceutical Company dares to sell a bottle in the Dragon Country at a sky-high price of 23,000 yuan!
Although pharmaceutical companies have invested huge amounts of money in the early stages of R&D, they need to use high prices to quickly recover their costs.
But he dared to blatantly play double standards and set the price in Longguo as the highest in the world.
And this is still based on the premise that Longguo can imitate at any time and rely on self-conscious compliance with patent laws.
If they encounter guys like India who do not follow the rules of martial ethics and directly engage in imitation, major pharmaceutical companies will have no way to deal with it.
But with such a patent law that is only consciously followed in peacetime and completely ignored after the relationship breaks out, the West dares to set prices at will.
What’s more,… Longguo does not have the ability to develop and produce high-end lithography machines and chips?
Then the Western Alliance can set as much as they want.
But!
After Longguo successfully developed a 0.5nm quantum lithography machine.
The West will never dream of asking for a sky-high price again.
They sell chips with the same process for 1450, while Su Mo only sells for 350.
And this is just a trial run, there is still a lot of room for price reduction.
As long as the chip alliance can be crushed with a heavy punch, it doesn’t matter even if it is sold at cost price in the future!
The cabinet and Shi Yanzhou also agree with this approach.
Because compared to making money and profit, the cabinet pays more attention to the grand strategic layout.
As long as the price war can be used to paralyze the semiconductor industry of the Western Alliance.
In this technological commanding height, Longguo will completely have all the right to speak.
How did the West strangle Longguo before? Longguo will return it in full in the future!
…………
At this time, in the conference room.
Looking at the extremely low price that can be called crazy, Lei Jun recovered from his disbelief.
He swallowed his saliva subconsciously, and asked with trembling lips:
“Commander Shi, Director Su.”
“The price of our quantum chip is so low… can we still make a profit?”
After hearing Lei Jun’s question, Su Mo did not answer directly, but asked back:
“Boss Lei, if I remember correctly.”
“Among all the entrepreneurs here, you are the best at price wars, right?”
When Su Mo said this, Lei Jun smiled awkwardly.
In various fields, wherever the rice company is involved, the price will definitely be lowered.
When Li Jiaqi sold a simple eyebrow pencil from 10 yuan to 79 yuan, and scolded you for not working hard enough.
Lei Jun had already lowered the price of smartphones from an average price of 5,000 to 1,999 many years ago.
When ‘Hua Xizi’ harvested users in the name of domestic products, an eyebrow pencil with a cost of 4 yuan could earn 1,800% profit.
Lei Jun announced that the profit of all products of Rice Company will never exceed 5%.
If there is any excess, the excess will be returned to the user.
Before Lei Jun started making TVs, a 40-inch TV would cost five or six thousand.
After Da Mi Company made TVs, now a 55-inch TV only costs 1,000+
Before the 79-yuan Mi bracelet came out, all bracelets on the market cost thousands of yuan.
When other brands of power banks still cost one or two hundred yuan, the Mi power bank only cost 69 yuan.
After entering the stationery industry, a giant gel pen that can write 170,000 words was sold by Da Mi for only one yuan.
This approach of turning the table as soon as it entered the market made the major stationery companies almost gnaw their back teeth!
After Lei Jun was ready to make cars, Da Mi SU7 had not yet been launched, but it forced major car manufacturers to collectively reduce prices.
Although Da Mi is a grocery store, it has indeed achieved the ultimate cost-effectiveness!
With the quality control of a big brand, it sells at the price of a copycat brand.
Every time Lei Jun enters an industry, it is a blessing for users and a nightmare for his peers!
As Su Mo said just now, among all the entrepreneurs present, no one dares to fight a price war with Lei Jun.
“Boss Lei.”
“As the top player in each industry, you are best at using cost-effectiveness to fight price wars.”
“Then I will ask you a question today. Do you know what our Dragon Country’s advantages are in the field of lithography machines and chips?”
Faced with Su Mo’s question, Lei Jun thought for a while and said seriously: “Chief Su.”
“I think our biggest advantage is that we have a complete industrial chain.”
“According to the public information of ASML, they need to import parts from dozens of countries around the world in the process of manufacturing lithography machines.”
“This practice of relying heavily on the global supply chain will inevitably lead to a significant increase in costs and many uncontrollable risks.”
“Just the packaging and freight, import and export tariffs, and the profits at all levels of the supply chain are all astronomical figures.”
“And these additional costs can be saved to the greatest extent when our Dragon Country has a complete industrial chain.”
After hearing Lei Jun’s answer, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction.
The other party is indeed a ruthless person who relies on price wars. He pointed out the biggest shortcoming of the chip alliance with one stroke.
But because Lei Jun is just a private entrepreneur, he can’t touch many core things.
Just like he didn’t know that a 4nm quantum chip only costs a dozen yuan to produce.
He worked hard to build a factory to sell mobile phones and computers, and fought with his competitors.
But the profits he earned would be easily taken away by the chip alliance by relying on the bottleneck technology.
But Su Mo will not disclose these things.
Because the production cost of quantum chips is one of the most core secrets.
He also has to lead Longguang Group to beat the chip alliance to death and then grab money at the commanding heights of technology.
If he discloses his details now, will he still be able to happily reap the leeks in the future?
