Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 86 Qualcomm's Importance! Fruit Enters China

News of the breakthrough in Transsion chips quickly spread throughout the industry, initially through rumors.

"Transsion has developed a 3G baseband chip that outperforms Qualcomm."

Then there were media reports such as "Breakthrough in Domestic Chips: Transsion Connects the Entire Mobile Phone Industry Chain"

However, due to the previous Hanxin incident, most "smart bystanders" still thought this was just a marketing tactic by the manufacturer and did not take the news seriously.

On the contrary, Qualcomm's overseas communications department reported the news to President Paul Jacobs immediately.

"President, a Chinese manufacturer claims to have developed a communication baseband chip that is 70% more powerful than ours, while also reducing power consumption by 30%."

Paul Jacobs did not stop working when he heard the news; instead, he smiled dismissively.

"Have you found out which of our baseband chips it was modified from?"

No. It's just a rumor.

But, Mr. President, I feel like they've really succeeded.

"Steve, you know what that means. Baseband involves a lot of communication patents, and it's not that easy to bypass our patent wall."

"But they are Chinese manufacturers, and..."

Steve Mollenkopf's words weren't particularly harsh, but Paul Jacobs gave another dismissive laugh.

Also!

Do those people in China even know what a patent is? Their market doesn't take patents seriously either.

"And things may not be as simple as we think."

Steve Mollenkopf spoke again, and then handed the investigation report in his hand to Paul Jacob.

The Qualcomm CEO initially held the report casually, but his smile quickly faded.

"These patents all belong to them."

"Yes, Mr. President."

No wonder Paul Jacobs looked so grim. Many of the patents on the list are currently being applied for by Qualcomm, but Transsion's application dates are earlier.

Moreover, some of their ideas not only perfectly bypassed their patent barriers, but were even better.

Of course, some were directly acquired by Transsion. And that was precisely the order he gave last month, no wonder...

"Have you looked up these patents?"

"We've checked, and we've thoroughly investigated Transsion and Huaxin Investment. However, Huaxin is a rather secretive company, and the investigation is still ongoing."

However, one thing is certain: this company was founded last year and then made a fortune during the financial crisis.

And...it seems they own about 4.95% of our shares, but it's not listed on the stock exchange.

"Their scheme is very sophisticated. It seems I need to make a trip to China myself to see what this shareholder is really up to!"

…………

Meanwhile, in Guangzhou, at Transsion headquarters.

Zhang Mingzhu gave Shen Fei a heads-up about some good news. Upon seeing Zhang Mingzhu's call, Shen Fei quickly answered.

"Ah Fei." As soon as the call connected, a sweet voice came from the other end.

"You miss me."

Ahem! Upon hearing Shen Fei's cheesy voice, Zhang Shiqing quickly coughed to remind him.

"Dad, you're here too." Shen Fei changed his tone, making his voice less strained.

"Yes! I came to Kyoto. The leadership attaches great importance to your breakthrough in communication baseband and has made it clear that they will provide more policy support."

Meanwhile, regarding the research and development of the lithography machine project, some leaders who were initially not very supportive have now softened their stance and will likely come to your side to discuss the final solution soon.

However, the current understanding is that you may need to provide a security deposit, as the higher-ups do not want a repeat of the Hanxin incident. Of course, this money will be returned to you after the project is successful.

"Dad, don't worry!"

Transsion cannot become the next Hanxin chip, but our goal is to let the flower of Hanxin bloom all over the world.

After a few more words, Zhang Shiqing hung up the phone again.

He also needed to rush to the province to report to the Party Secretary and then carry out the next phase of assistance work.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Fei brought up the system interface again.

Main Quest: Achieve 20% Market Share in Africa

Current market share: 19.8%

We're still 0.2% short. At the current growth rate of 0.1% per day, we can complete it in two days.

With 10000 points about to be credited to his account, Shen Fei had already decided what he wanted to exchange for.

OLED screen

It is now 2009, and LCD is still the mainstream screen. OLED screens have not yet become mainstream. If Transsion can make early arrangements and master the core technologies, then in the future, the screen panel field will belong to Transsion.

Selling mobile phones doesn't make money, but working in the supply chain is less work and more lucrative.

He walked into the lab, where Li Jiahui was still celebrating with his team.

"President Shen," Li Jiahui said excitedly as he strode forward, "China Mobile just called. They want to purchase our communication baseband chips for use in their next generation of customized mobile phones."

"Tell them it's possible. Considering they're the first to cooperate, the price is $50 per communication baseband chip."

"Mr. Shen, this price is indeed not expensive... but it is already quite expensive compared to their contract phones."

I feel it will be difficult for them to agree.

Shen Fei nodded silently, then took out his second plan.

"If you use our TaiShan OS, the price can be reduced to $30, and we can also provide OEM integration solutions."

"This... Boss, your plan."

"That's right, it's the same solution that Huawei made before, but we mainly promote the supply chain and TaiShan OS."

Whether they're doing this because of higher-ups' demands or because they genuinely want our baseband, this is our bundled solution. They either accept it, or they forget about it.

Li Jiahui understood: "Then I'll have the negotiation team below handle the talks."

"good!"

At this moment, Shen Fei waved his hand again, and everyone came over: "You've all worked hard during this period. Once the communication baseband project is completed, I will give you all a large subsidy."

"If someone is used to living in company apartments and wants to buy their own house, will the company provide a settlement allowance of 20 to 100 million?"

The laboratory was abuzz with excitement once again.

…………

Shen Fei had just returned to his office when his phone rang again. This time it was Adebayo reporting good news.

"Mr. Shen, we just secured a major government contract with Ethiopia."

The 50 Transsion S1 is used in the e-government system for civil servants.

Furthermore, according to our calculations, Africa's share should have exceeded 20%.

Almost at the same time, the system's notification sounded in my mind.

[Ding! Main quest complete!]

Market share in Africa surged to 20.1%.

Reward: 10000 Industry Innovation Points

New task being generated...

Having obtained 10000 mission points, Shen Fei quickly opened the system space to see if there were any special offers...

But at the same time, the head of China Unicom also happily signed the mutually compromising contract!

Starting today, the telecommunications market!

China Unicom is the absolute leader!
