360: Chapter 360 When you're in the game, you need a background.

"Why choose domestic chips for everything?"

"Brother Ming tells everyone, safety is the number one reason."

"Domestic chips are autonomous and controllable; there is no need to worry about being cut off from supply, and no need to worry about being choked by others."

The big screen behind him also replayed the case of Transsion; the company had been sanctioned three times, and although the United States eventually lifted the sanctions with its tail between its legs, the related losses still existed.

"The second reason is performance; the performance of the kirin chip and the Taishan Chip has already been verified on Honor and Transsion phones."

"As the party with leading manufacturing processes, our performance is more powerful, and our designs are ahead of theirs. In other words, since we have better things, there is no need to use those inferior products..."

Zhao Ming had just finished speaking, and before he could continue, the bullet comments in the livestream room began to climb rapidly.

"For some reason, I feel so satisfied, what do I do? We are the leading side... This... Every time I see a chip breakthrough, I get teary-eyed."

"You're not the only one upstairs; everyone is like this. Besides, Brother Ming is right; safety and performance must both be grasped..."

"United States: I sanctioned them, but found it useless, and in the end, I had to cancel it myself, basically just wasting my effort. Although I didn't get anything, at least I'm tired."

Just as many viewers were making jokes in the livestream, the PPT on the big screen behind him changed to 'Conviction'!

At the same time, there was an explanation below: "China's mobile phones should use China's chips!"

Looking at the text on the big screen, the audience gradually quieted down.

After all, this PPT was really a bit sensitive, and competitors would seize upon it as leverage...

"As you can all see, China's mobile phones should use their own chips."

"This is not narrow-minded nationalism; this is confidence in China's supply chain."

"China's supply chain is no longer at the level it was 10 years ago. Before, we didn't have them, so we were forced to use foreign chips, but now we have the ability to make world-class chips, so why not use them?"

This time, very loud applause erupted from the audience.

"Damn, Brother Ming has already said it like this, and there are still people saying it's narrow-minded nationalism."

"This is called knowing how important it is to hold your own lifeline after suffering the loss of being choked by others. Supporting the domestic supply chain is supporting ourselves, so we aren't at the mercy of others."

"Tch, the person upstairs still has the nerve to argue? This is typical narrow-minded nationalism. When making products, you don't look at the price-performance ratio, but first look at whether it's domestic? How is this any different from the closed-door policy of the past, refusing to communicate? And you still talk about opening up?"

"What is meant by embracing openness? Openness is a two-way street, not us unilaterally giving up on self-research and handing our lifeline over to others. Supporting the domestic supply chain is the truly long-term perspective."

"Those who call it narrow-minded probably forgot how difficult it was when Transsion had a trillion dollars in assets frozen, right?"

"Supporting domestic products is so that we never have to experience that feeling of powerlessness from being choked by others again."

"Even if the United States did the wrong thing, technological development is inherently about global cooperation. Forcing Chinese mobile phones to be bound to using Chinese chips, isn't that anti-globalization? It completely disrespects market laws; it's too extreme..."

"What do you mean by 'we didn't have a choice before, so we shouldn't choose now'? Market competition looks at product strength, not origin. Forcing support for domestic products will only make companies lose motivation and make consumers lose confidence. This isn't confidence; it's inferiority."

The livestream room was completely in an uproar, and the director team backstage felt their eyes go dark.

One Big Mouth Yu was already enough of a headache, and now Zhao Ming was the same on stage...

They really wanted a golden finger to destroy the world with one click.

Just as the arguing was happening, a line of large text appeared on the big screen again: "kirin chip, Taishan Chip, Honor's magic weapon."

Zhao Ming turned around to look at the text, his eyes filled with: 'Dad, I want that.' But soon, the smile on his face became even brighter. Clearly, it was: ...

"Everyone knows that the kirin chip is designed by HiSilicon, and the Taishan Chip is designed by our parent company, Transsion Semiconductor."

"They are both Chinese stars, and they are both Honor's confidence."

At this moment, the bullet comments in the livestream were all, 'When you're out in the world, you rely on your background. You don't even have one dad, what right do you have to go against me with my two dads?'

Zhao Ming paused for a moment and continued to drop a super bombshell: "Next, Honor will launch a series of new phones, covering all price segments from 500 yuan to 4000 yuan. Every single model will be equipped with domestic chips, and every single model will keep our competitors up at night."

"Take down Xiaomi."

"When we first started doing this last year, our competitors were so scared they ran off to the India market. Now... I wonder how our competitor's smart home business is doing?"

"Are you thinking about Honor smart home, upstairs?"

"Why not consider reducing the smart modules a little, and then lowering the hardware configuration or power consumption? Then slap an Honor brand on it, lower the price by 20%, wouldn't that be even more explosive?"

Just as everyone was discussing Honor smart home, Zhao Ming smiled and said nothing, but this plan could be brought up when he got back.

"I've heard some very good ideas from everyone, and we can discuss this. Brother Ming will satisfy everyone's ideas as much as possible..."

Consequently, a wave of 'ohs' instantly came from the audience... Honor was really going to be the boss; Huawei didn't even have plans for smart home yet, and Honor was going to go first...

"However, for today's conference, I have invited a special guest."

"He is not from Honor, nor is he from Old Yu's side."

"But Honor's existence today cannot be separated from him and his team. Without the Taishan Chip, there would be no Honor today."

The lights hit the seat in the middle of the first row of the guest section. Shen Fei stood up, straightened his clothes slightly, and walked towards the stage with big strides.

The audience below was stunned for a moment; after all, this person did not belong to Honor, and in fact, the birth of Honor was inseparable from him.

Shen Fei and Zhao Ming shook hands.

When shaking hands, Zhao Ming's hand actively leaned lower, and these details were enthusiastically captured by the director.

"Mr. Shen, say a few words."

"Honor is the pride of Huawei, the pride of Transsion, and at the same time, the pride of China's technology sector."

The audience instantly quieted down.

There had always been news online that the two companies were cooperating happily, but more people were saying that Transsion had taken advantage of the fire back then... and snatched away Huawei's patents.

Then, the relationship between the two companies was only good on the surface, but in reality... all that could be said was that it was all for harvesting leeks.

"Transsion is Honor's partner, but also not just a partner."

"Transsion's chips and Honor's mobile phones, combined, represent half of the landscape of China's technology sector."

"Honor's choice to use 100% domestic chips, as some of the things Mr. Zhao just said indicate, requires great courage to make this decision."

"But this is the right choice; China's supply chain is trustworthy, and China's technology is worth looking forward to."
