Why choose domestically produced chips for everything?
"Ming told everyone that safety is the top priority."
Domestically produced chips are self-sufficient and controllable; there's no need to worry about supply disruptions or being held hostage.
The large screen behind them also showed Transsion's case. The company had been sanctioned three times, and although the United States eventually withdrew the sanctions each time, the related losses still existed.
"Secondly, there's performance. The performance of Kirin chips and Taishan chips has already been proven in Honor and Transsion phones."
As the leader in manufacturing technology, our performance is more powerful, and our designs are also ahead of theirs. In other words, since we have better products, there's no need for us to use these inferior ones…”
As soon as Zhao Ming finished speaking, before he could say anything more, the number of comments in the live stream chat began to rise rapidly.
"What should I do if I feel inexplicably great? We're the ones in the lead... This... Every time I see a breakthrough in chip technology, I get teary-eyed."
"You're not the only one upstairs; everyone's like this. And Ming-ge is right, we have to balance safety and performance..."
"America: I imposed sanctions, but found it was useless, and in the end I had to lift them myself, so it was all for nothing."
Although I gained nothing, at least I'm tired.
While many viewers were making jokes in the live stream, the PPT on the big screen behind them was changed to "belief"!
Below that, there's a line explaining: "Chinese mobile phones should use Chinese chips!"
As the audience watched the text on the big screen, they gradually quieted down.
After all, this PPT is a bit sensitive; our competitors might use it against us...
"As everyone can see, Chinese mobile phones should use their own chips."
This is not narrow nationalism; it is confidence in China's supply chain.
China's supply chain is no longer what it was 10 years ago. Previously, we lacked the technology and were forced to use foreign chips, but now we have the capability to produce world-class chips, so why not use them?
This time, a very loud round of applause erupted from the audience.
"Damn, even Ming said that, and some people are still calling it narrow-minded nationalism."
This is what it means to learn how important it is to have your lifeline in your own hands after experiencing the consequences of being held hostage.
Supporting domestic supply chains is supporting ourselves and preventing ourselves from being manipulated by others.
"Tch, the person upstairs has the nerve to argue? This is typical narrow nationalism. When making products, they don't consider the cost-effectiveness, but only whether it's made in China."
How is this any different from closing the country off from the world and refusing to exchange ideas back then? What's the point of talking about opening up?
What does it mean to embrace openness? Openness is a two-way street, not a one-sided abandonment of self-research and development, handing over our lifeline to others.
Supporting domestic supply chains is the true long-term vision.
"Those who say it's narrow-minded have probably forgotten the difficulties Transsion faced when its trillions of dollars in assets were frozen."
Supporting domestic products is so that we'll never have to experience that feeling of helplessness, like being choked by someone else, again.
"Even if the United States did something wrong, technological development is inherently a global collaboration. Forcing a connection with Chinese mobile phones and requiring the use of Chinese chips is anti-globalization, isn't it?"
This completely disregards market principles and is far too extreme…
What does it mean to have no choice before and no choice now?
Market competition is about product strength, not origin. Forcing support for domestic products will only demotivate companies and erode consumer confidence. This isn't confidence; it's inferiority.
The live stream chat completely erupted into a fight, leaving the backstage production team completely bewildered.
Yu Dazui was already a headache enough, but Zhao Ming came on stage and he was just as bad...
I really wish I had a cheat code so I could destroy the world with a single click.
Just as the argument was raging, another line of large text appeared on the big screen:
"Kirin chips, Taishan chips, the magic weapons of Glory."
Xiao Ming turned around and looked at the words, his eyes filled with: Dad, I want it.
But soon the smile on his face became even brighter.
Obviously it is: ...
"As everyone knows, Kirin chips are designed by HiSilicon Semiconductor, while Taishan chips are designed by our parent company, Transsion Semiconductor."
They are all stars of China, the foundation of our glory.
At this moment, the live stream chat was full of comments saying that you only get ahead because of your connections. You don't have a father, so why are you going against me who has two?
Zhao Ming paused briefly, then threw out another super bomb:
"Honor will launch a series of new phones, covering all price ranges from 500 yuan to 4000 yuan."
Each one uses domestically produced chips, and each one will keep our competitors up at night.
"Dry up the rice."
"When we first started doing this last year, our competitors were so scared that they went to the Indian market. Now... I wonder how their smart home products are doing?"
"You upstairs aren't thinking about Honor Smart Home, are you?"
Why not consider slightly reducing the size of the smart module and then lowering the hardware configuration or energy consumption?
Then slap on a Honor brand label, lower the price by 20%, wouldn't that be even more explosive?
While everyone was discussing Honor Smart Home, Zhao Ming smiled but didn't say anything, but said that this plan could be brought up later.
"I've heard some great ideas from everyone, and we can discuss them."
Doflamingo will try his best to fulfill everyone's wishes...
Immediately, a chorus of "Oh!" erupted from the audience... Honor is really going to be the leader! Huawei doesn't even have any plans for smart homes yet, and Honor is going to be the first to jump on the bandwagon...
"However, I have invited a special guest to today's conference."
He is neither a member of Glory nor one of Lao Yu's side.
But the glory we have today is inseparable from him and his team.
"Without Taishan chips, there would be no Glory today."
The lights shone on the middle seat in the first row of guests. Shen Fei stood up, straightened his clothes slightly, and strode towards the stage.
The audience below the stage was stunned for a moment, after all, this person did not belong to Glory, and even the birth of Glory was inseparable from him.
Shen Fei and Zhao Ming shook hands.
When shaking hands, Zhao Ming's hand leaned down significantly, and these details were kindly captured by the director.
"Mr. Shen, would you like to say a few words?"
"Honor is the pride of Huawei, the pride of Transsion, and the pride of China's technology community."
The audience fell silent instantly.
There have been reports online that the two companies have a very pleasant collaboration, but many more people are saying that Transsion took advantage of the situation and snatched away Huawei's patents.
The relationship between the two companies is only superficially good, but in reality... it's all about exploiting each other.
"Transsion is a partner of Honor, but it is more than just a partner."
Transsion's chips and Honor's mobile phones together constitute half of China's technology industry.
Honor's decision to use 100% domestically produced chips demonstrates the immense courage required in making this decision, as evidenced by Mr. Zhao's earlier remarks.
But this is the right choice. China's supply chain is trustworthy, and China's technology is worth looking forward to.
