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

Chapter 368: 9th Series Not for Sale, 7th Series Enhanced Version

But in reality, consumers, after being educated by Transsion, are not brand loyalists, but rather technology loyalists.

The original Motorola S3 used the renamed Taishan 910, while the Motorola S5 launched after the acquisition... used Qualcomm chips.

Consumers aren't stupid; they won't be fooled by the same price.

Even worse system, even worse chips, same price!

Motorola started to be criticized, and at the same time, the return rate began to soar.

What upset Liu Jun even more was that Transsion's later Guangyun series directly entered overseas markets such as the United States, completely dominating the high-end market, although it was later affected by sanctions.

But those distributors aren't stupid; they seem to be considering setting up a new brand, only this new brand has a name, and all the rest of the business is outsourced.

Their products can only reach second- or third-tier distributors, and even then, payment is made after delivery.

So this time Liu Jun didn't come to visit; he came to ask for a favor.

At 3 p.m., Transsion convened an emergency meeting for them.

Liu Fang was in charge of the reception. Although she was still in charge of supply chain cooperation, she had been promoted to senior vice president of Transsion Technology.

Professor Li Jiahui remains the head of semiconductors, but the level of the semiconductor R&D department has been raised again.

As for Huang Tianya, he was obviously there to watch the show... After all, he was the one who traded in the Motorola, and in the end, he and Shen Fei sold it to Lenovo at a high price, so of course he had to come and watch the drama unfold.

He had assumed there were four people there: Liu Jun, product manager Wang Hui, supply chain director Li Min, and a senior manager from the strategy department.

During their pleasantries, Liu Jun noticed a detail.

Although the other party was very enthusiastic, none of the people transmitting the message stood up to shake hands with him.

Especially Liu Fang, who sat there, only bowed slightly and said, "President Liu, please sit down," before looking down at the documents in her hand.

Li Jiahui didn't even look up; he was still looking at the progress of some projects.

Only Huang Tianya smiled and nodded at him, then looked at him carefully for a while, as if to say hello.

But that expression inexplicably pained him; this was the same person who had once negotiated a valuation of $59 billion...

But he didn't have time to worry about those things.

He quickly sat down and said anxiously:

"Mr. Liu, let me be frank, there are some things you probably know better than I do."

"Motorola's high-end line in the Chinese market is almost unsustainable; our market share has been plummeting. If this continues, the brand will be finished in China."

Seeing the other person's anxious look, Liu Fang nodded, then added in her mind, "It's the same not only in China, but in every country in the world."

After all, consumers have already eaten the finest things, so why would they eat the worst?

"The main reason is still the chip issue."

We use Qualcomm chips, which are far inferior to your previous Taishan 900 series.

Consumers aren't stupid. At the same price, your Transsion products offer a better experience than ours, so this time we want to purchase the Taishan 910 chip.

After speaking, Liu Jun glanced at his cousin, Liu Fang, since she was definitely the supervisor of this meeting. They both shared the surname Liu, so they were somewhat related.

But after listening, Liu Fang simply picked up her teacup, took a sip of water, and didn't say a word.

Then she held the teacup for a long time, nodding and glancing at him repeatedly.

"President Liu." As soon as Liu Fang spoke, Liu Jun immediately sensed something was wrong, feeling a sense of unease creeping over him.

"Lenovo has one of the most collaborations with us among domestic manufacturers."

Whether it's previous brand acquisitions or screen and chip collaborations, we've always had a pleasant experience. But as you probably know, Transsion's 9-series chips are not sold to external parties.

The 9 series can only be used by our own brand; this is part of the company's strategy.

Because the 9-series chips represent Transsion's highest level of technology, they must be deeply integrated with its own flagship hardware and cannot be opened up to other manufacturers.

Liu Jun's face immediately darkened...

If it's not sold to the public, does that mean the Honor and Mate series are using fake chips? Although he wanted to say it out loud, he knew it wouldn't make a difference...

On the contrary, it will only make the situation worse.

Of course, if the other party says it, Liu Fang won't get angry; instead, she'll give him a heart-to-heart answer.

Honor and Huawei are practically their own children, so of course they can be sold off. If Lenovo is willing to let Transsion rejoin Motorola, then of course they can.

However, the acquisition price will be determined by Chuanying; the valuation remains at 42, only the unit has changed slightly…

But he figured Liu Jun would be furious!

Seeing Liu Fang's expression, Liu Jun began his Oscar-worthy performance:

"Mr. Liu, you spent 42 billion to buy Motorola, which has now depreciated a lot."

This isn't a small amount of money, and you've made a lot of money. How about providing some after-sales support?

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Huang Tianya finally put down his phone and glanced at him.

His eyes held a complex expression, but there was no sympathy, after all, Lenovo had been eager to cooperate and had been quick to release the news to the public...

After considering for a few seconds, Liu Fang said, "I don't sell the 9 series, but I can sell the 7 series, and we can even customize it."

"Series 7?" Liu Jun hesitated a bit. After all, although he hadn't come, he knew about the technical union.

Although 7 and 9 seem to differ by only two numbers and have very similar performance, this is the difference between a flagship and a near-flagship model.

"That's right, it's the Taishan 710 six-core chip that was just released yesterday. It's also 14nm, and its power consumption is more stable and its performance is stronger than the Fire Dragon 800 that you're going to use next."

It can only approach 80% of Mount Tai 910, which is 20% stronger than Fire Dragon on paper, but in reality it is at least 40%.

The price is a bit high, but if you want to pursue ultimate performance, you can buy our Taishan 710 Enhanced Edition, which has about 5% higher performance than the Taishan 910...

This time, our enhanced version really squeezed out a huge amount of toothpaste.

Li Jiahui pushed a product brochure over.

Liu Jun opened the first page to a parameter table, which contained more detailed parameters than those presented yesterday, and the actual performance was also indicated...

Far ahead of the Fire Dragon!

As for the enhanced version of the 710, it does surpass the Taishan 910, but the price of the enhanced version is also very attractive.

3G版本160美金，4G版本180美金，比标準版贵了40刀。

$40, or more than 200 yuan in cost... that's no small amount. Back in the feature phone era, that would have been enough to build a pretty good feature phone.

Transmitting a message is truly ruthless!
