Text Chapter 233 Procurement in progress

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Compared with the electronic compass that can be delivered directly, Saito Mototake cares about two other items: audio chips and gravity accelerometers.

    Although it is a giant in Japan¡¯s semiconductor industry, Asahi Kasei¡¯s audio chips do not dominate the world because of the existence of a more powerful STMicroelectronics company.

    Even though Saito Mototake believes that the audio chips produced by his company have reached the world's first-class level, due to STMicroelectronics' long-term monopoly, Asahi Kasei's audio chip sales have not been very good.

    There are also gravity accelerometers. Apple also approached Asahi Kasei, but Asahi Kasei ultimately lost. They don¡¯t know who exactly they lost to yet.

    The so-called gravity accelerometer is a small metal kit built into the machine. Because it has three axes to maintain balance, this gyro-style metal accelerometer will remain horizontal and vertical at any time without wavering.

    The gravity accelerometer can automatically sense changes in the orientation of the machine, thereby adjusting and switching functions accordingly.

    Saito Mototake knew that Apple has used gravity accelerometers on the mobile phones they developed. It is said that the screen can automatically rotate according to the hand direction. This novel smart phone application has made Saito Mototake very interested. The previously developed  Although the effect was not very good at that time, there was a lot of progress in the end.

    Saito Mototake even believes that if there is another competition, his gravity accelerator will never be defeated by others.

    ??Now it seems that there is always a road ahead.

    Although the order from Apple is gone, the information, design drawings, etc. brought by this Chinese boy are very professional and very consistent with the characteristics of Asahi Kasei Microelectronics, so Saito Mototake is naturally interested.

    Japanese people are much more careful than Americans, so even though Saito Mototake was already tempted, he still politely asked Xiao Qi to leave the design drawings and plans for him to discuss with the researchers.

    Of course, the necessary confidentiality agreement was signed in the presence of two Citibank staff members. Xiao Qi was not very worried about the credibility of the Japanese towards the Chinese.

    Saito Mototake needs to consider.

    ?Bilda¡¯s DRAM memory chips and Toshiba¡¯s NAND flash memory chips are not so particular. Because the technology is mature, no modifications will be made, so they let Xiao Qi purchase them directly.

    The difference between the two is actually very simple. DRAM memory chips have fast real-time storage speed, but unfortunately the data will disappear after a power outage. This kind of memory chip is usually used for playing games and using work software; NAND flash memory chips are  It is stored for a long time and will not disappear after power failure. It is usually used on mobile phone memory cards.

    To put it bluntly, DRAM memory chips are equivalent to the memory of ordinary computers, while NAND flash memory chips are equivalent to the hard drives of ordinary computers.

    Memory and hard drive.

    It¡¯s that simple.

    As a complete tablet computer, both instant storage and power-off storage are indispensable, so Xiao Qi has both, without saving.

    Because of the five-year contract and the large-scale purchase of 30 million sets per year, and because the spring of the two memory chips has not yet arrived, after negotiation, the price of each DRAM memory chip is US$18, and the price of each 16GB NAND flash memory chip is  It is 28 US dollars, and the price of each 32GB NAND flash memory chip is 55 US dollars.

    Heuer Optical (HOYA), controlled by the Suzuki family, a long-established Japanese optical company that has helped China build its optical glass industry, also has its own set of ambient light sensors.

    This ambient light sensor, which has similar functions to a gravity accelerometer, is actually used on many high-end touch screens. However, businessmen in Baodao are used to saving. Chenhong Optoelectronics sent the electronic diagram to Xiao Qi's mailbox.  Not used because this will greatly increase the cost of the touch screen.

    Xiao Qi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, so he could only add this item before he came to Japan. He spent a deposit of 10 million US dollars and set a five-year contract at a price of 1.5 US dollars each, with 30 million US dollars per year.  An ambient light sensor is available.

    Then Xiao Qi immediately sent Hoya Optoelectronics¡¯ ambient light sensor to Chenhong Optoelectronics, asking them to install and integrate it on the touch screen no matter what to optimize the touch effect.

    Three days after the initial meeting, Saito Mototake had agreed to Xiao Qi¡¯s contract. Under the witness of Citibank, the two parties signed a supply contract for gravity accelerometers, electronic compasses and audio chips.

    The price of a gravity accelerometer is US$1.8, the price of an electronic compass is US$1.5, and the price of an audio chip is US$1.2. They are also 30 million sets each year, and the contract signed is still five years.

    Just wait until Xiao Qi converts his motherboard CPU and GPUOkay, then Asahi Kasei Microelectronics will conduct various debuggings based on the motherboard to make products that are most suitable for tablet motherboard chips.

    The 5MM size camera component is no longer ultra-thin in today's mobile phone industry, but the IPAD is relatively large, so the camera size is more tolerable than that of mobile phones.

    The company that received this 5MM size camera was Ricoh Co., Ltd. of Japan.

    Although from a professional perspective, Ricoh is not as good as Canon and Nikon, it is more professional than Sony, Olympus, etc.

    Ricoh¡¯s technology is sufficient for thin and light mobile phone cameras, and most importantly, the cameras it supplies are much cheaper and of better quality than Sony¡¯s gorgeous-looking cameras.

    In recent years, Ricoh has been left behind by Canon and Nikon in professional cameras. It has also been beaten in the face by Sony and Olympus in compact cameras. Ricoh was almost ready to give up on developing this field. Suddenly Xiao Qi came here.  How could a living Bodhisattva who saved lives not be overjoyed and honestly give the lowest price?

    A three-megapixel camera component is required on the front and rear of the tablet. The price quoted by Ricoh is US$2.3 per unit. The supply is for five years, with 60 million units per year. The number of camera pixels must increase by at least one million per year.  The price is very reasonable.

    Xiao Qi vaguely remembered that the cost of the stupid 700,000-pixel camera of the IPAD2 seemed to have reached two dollars a piece. Later, everyone criticized and ridiculed the situation. In anger, Gang Leader Qiao directly fired the deputy in charge of purchasing.  Always get fired.

    When I got the IPAD3, the pixels got better, but the price was about US$2.5.

    Although the price of future mobile phone and tablet cameras will drop to about one dollar as technology develops, the price of high-end cameras has always been relatively firm, still floating around two dollars.  (To be continued.
