Chapter 282 Fight without breaking

Time passed quickly, and when Aramco-related chip companies kicked off a price war in overseas markets, Hu Lai soon learned of the news.

As soon as Hu Lai finished the meeting early in the morning, Chen Hai and Professor Wu appeared in Hu Lai's office.

Director Zhang enthusiastically poured two cups of tea for the two of them.

Since Hu Lai agreed to sell chips to Mao Xiong not long ago, Chen Hai and Professor Wu stayed in Shancheng City as the communicators for the deal with Mao Xiong.

As soon as he saw Hu Lai, Chen Hai said with a smile on his face:
"Mr. Hu, good news!"

"Recent news, Qualcomm's mobile phone Snapdragon chip has once again cut the price in China, from the initial price of 280 US dollars to 120 US dollars, and this morning each chip has been reduced by 10 US dollars!"

"Inet's I-series CPUs, AMD's CPUs, and Nvidia's graphics cards have also all been reduced in price!"

“最新的酷睿12代I7处理器在你们推出的‘青龙005’电脑芯片的影响下,直接从2500元的价格跌到了1900元,这下Inet要哭死了!”

Hu Lai also laughed. After the Phoenix 5nm "Xingyao 005" chip came out, various series of chips under Phoenix Semiconductor began to upgrade.

The on-board chips used in cars are still named after the "Tiger Leap Series". They were previously sold to the outside world. The "Huyue 8195 chip" that is the benchmark for the Snapdragon 280 chip and the "Huyue 140" that are carried on the "Qingluan" The chips were upgraded to "Huyue 280-A" and "Huyue 140-A" respectively, and the performance was slightly improved compared with the previous generation.

In addition, for the on-board chips, the Tiger Leap series has also developed the latest generation of "Huyue 007" chips, which are now used in the Phoenix super sports car "Fengfeng".

In addition to the on-board chip, the "Tiger Leap Series" previously used on all-in-one computers and notebooks has been changed to the "Qinglong Series" chip. Now the latest generation of "Starry Sky" notebooks equipped with the "Qinglong 007" chip has surpassed the performance of the 12th generation Core Inter I7. s level!
而在GPU显卡上,凤凰之前自研的“耀光280D-2050”显卡也从28制程升级为7纳米制程芯片,显卡性能上已经从不及英伟达RTX-3050的水平改超上来,达到了RTX-3080的水平!
At the same time, Jing Jiawei, which has been cooperating with the Phoenix computer department, has also achieved rapid development of graphics chips with the help of Phoenix, and gradually gained a certain market share in low-end graphics cards.

It can be said that now Phoenix Chip has covered the high-end chip market in the three major fields of automobiles, computers, and mobile phones, and is gradually eroding the share of Aramco Chip Company in Yanguo. It is no wonder they are not panicking.

"Normal, as expected."

"Although our latest Huyue chips and Qinglong chips have insufficient production capacity, it is enough to shake their pricing."

Hu Lai said lightly that he was not surprised by Ami's price cut.

Chen Hai nodded, and continued:

"That is!"

"But this time they not only lowered the price of chips in our country, but they also started to lose the price in overseas markets!"

"The quotations for their chip products generally fell by about 30%. This time we really hit Ami's pain point, and we really felt the pain!"

"Ha ha!"

As he said that, Chen Hai couldn't help laughing loudly, the hearty laughter was full of joy.

Hu Lai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

This is normal.

Phoenix Group's "Xingyao" and "Dawn" series have been released for almost a month, and other series of chips are also gradually released. Naturally, Ami has gradually realized the advantages of Phoenix chips.

He remembered that before Chen Hai specifically mentioned the importance of the chip industry to Ami, the industry chain involving several trillion dollars was too wide and too wide!

There are too many supporting companies associated with the entire industry chain, and once their market share decreases in a large area, their entire chip industry will be under tremendous pressure.

Countless chip companies will go bankrupt as a result, countless industrial workers will be laid off, and a little carelessness will lead to industrial recession, etc...

Such an important industry, Ami's rapid response in advance is completely understandable!

Thinking of this, Hu Lai felt a little pity again.

Slightly sighed and said:

"I have to say that their actions are also very fast, and they have taken measures so quickly."

"Now that we have signed an order with Mao Xiong, plus the domestic chip orders, the production capacity is completely saturated, and the new production line will not be able to put into production in a while."

"Otherwise, we can fight a price war with them in the international market to make them shed another layer of skin."

Hearing this, Chen Hai smiled and said:

"Mr. Hu, the significance of our signing a chip order with Mao Xiong is not as simple as fighting a price war to make them take off their skin."

"The purpose of their price cuts in overseas markets is to stabilize overseas orders. Unexpectedly, we have not only received overseas orders, but also their confidantes!"

"I've been thinking these days how pissed they'll be if they find out we've broken the blockade and sold it to a bear!"

Having said that, Chen Hai deliberately stopped and asked:

"Have all your overseas assets been properly arranged?"

"There are still a few days before the chip will be shipped to Mao Xiong. I guess it won't be long before Ami will respond!"

The factory director Zhang said:

"Our overseas assets are basically arranged."

"The only thing I'm worried about now is our base in Burundi, but Burundi is not under Aramco's sphere of influence, so it should have no impact."

"Ah That's good!"

"But having said that, you still need to pay more attention to your overseas business. If you have any situation, you must contact us as soon as possible!"

Director Zhang nodded emphatically, Hu Lai's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something.

He hurried to the desk and took out a document from the drawer, then handed it to Chen Hai, saying:
"Chen Bureau, when the lithography machine was first developed last time, I wanted to talk to you about something, but you left in a hurry last time, and we didn't have time to mention it because we didn't straighten things out."

"Not long ago, the third phase of the National Chip Industry Fund approached us, hoping to buy some shares in our 'lithography machine factory'. I thought about it for a long time and re-drafted a plan. Have a look?"

Chen Hai was stunned for a moment. He knew that the country established the "National Chip Industry Fund" in order to support the chip industry. It was not surprising that the industry fund found Phoenix Photolithography Machine Factory to invest in it.

After all, the status and importance of the Phoenix lithography machine is there.

He hurriedly picked up the documents on the table, and said in a hurry:
"ASML lithography machine company is currently valued at about 2000 billion U.S. dollars in the U.S. stock market, which is equivalent to 1.32 trillion U.S. dollars."

"Of course, our scale and profit are not yet at the level of ASML, but after we find a professional investment assessment, we can now have a market value of about 3000 billion."

"So, we finally drew up a plan to sell 150% of the equity of the 'lithography machine factory' for 10 billion yuan, and transfer the equity of the downstream chip companies we are looking at to us. I have listed the list of related companies."

150 billion to buy a 10% stake in the lithography machine factory?
Chen Hai simply calculated in his mind, and then his face was ecstatic.

You must know that Phoenix Group has always had relatively closed equity and basically does not accept foreign investment. It is very rare to be able to accept investment from the "National Industrial Fund"!
and!

The price offered by Mr. Hu is really not expensive!

Although the market value of Phoenix lithography machine is not high at present, as long as people are not blind, they can see how much potential Phoenix lithography machine will have in the future. It is absolutely certain that it will become a trillion-dollar market value enterprise like ASML.

It can be said that such a price is entirely because Mr. Hu gave the sky a big face to let you take advantage of it!

As for the equity of downstream chip companies that Phoenix Group requested to transfer, is that important?
Moreover, the most important thing is the ZZ meaning behind it.

You must know that with the successful development of the Phoenix lithography machine these days, the various international influences surrounding the lithography machine have become greater and greater!
Once the "National Chip Industry Fund" has a stake, no matter how much it is, it will really be easy for someone in the DPRK and China to handle things!

Thinking of this, Chen Hai's blood surged for a moment. As a person in the system, he understands how effective such an action is, and the meaning behind it!

"Mr. Hu, you can really be a patriotic entrepreneur and understand righteousness!"

"I'll report this matter right away. If you have any requirements, just ask. I'll stop here, but I can promise you anything that doesn't involve the bottom line!"

Hu Lai laughed twice, but did not refuse.

"Okay, then I will remember."

For Hu Lai, it is not a loss for him to transfer 150% of the shares of the "lithography machine factory" at a price of 10 billion. The 10% stake in the "lithography machine factory" has no impact on the Phoenix Group!

On the contrary, once there is the help of the "National Chip Industry Fund", Phoenix Semiconductor's integrated influence on the upstream and downstream will be of a different level!

It was not only Chen Hai's unexpected surprise, but also Professor Wu, who had been silent at the side, also looked at Hu Lai in surprise.

After thinking for a while, he took out a cigarette and lit one, then suddenly looked up at Hu and said:

"Mr. Hu, you just said that Ami and the others are engaged in a price war overseas. Do you have any ideas?"

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, not expecting Professor Wu to return to this topic suddenly.

However, he still said:

"Now Aramco's plan is very clear. They are using price cuts to stabilize overseas markets."

"My idea is to wait until our chip production capacity is up, and there will be an advertising effect of exporting bears. If they engage in price wars, we can also engage in price wars, and directly use price wars to smash their entire ecological chain of the chip industry!"

As soon as the words fell, Professor Wu did not expect to keep shaking his head.

???

Not only Hu Lai and Director Zhang were stunned, but even Chen Hai was stunned.

"Actually, your chip pricing strategy is something that your company manages independently, and I shouldn't have interrupted."

"However, Mr. Hu, you took the initiative to let the 'National Chip Industry Fund' take a stake just now, which surprised me. I have a different view. You can refer to it."

After finishing speaking, Professor Wu took a puff of cigarette and said lightly:

"For a long time, as long as we break the monopoly industry, we have achieved the price of cabbage, but the chip industry is different from other industries."

"It has too many application products, and its market value is too great, and it must be an important development industry in the next 10 to 15 years that cannot be eliminated!"

"The most important thing is that the technical threshold for high-end chips is relatively high, and a powerful country as strong as Mao Xiong has nothing to do with it!"

Hu Lai and others nodded in agreement. For the chip industry, technology is one aspect, and the market is another aspect. Only by having both at the same time can the chip industry take off.

"So, from the strategic point of view at this stage, I don't agree that you should fight a price war with Aramco."

"In a price war, both parties must lose in the end. Who will get the cheapest in the end?"

Who?
Hu Lai thought for a while, then blurted out.

"Naturally, buyers in the global market, especially those countries that are completely incapable of producing chips!"

Professor Wu laughed and shook the soot lightly.

After pausing for about a minute, Professor Wu looked at Hu Lai and said with a smile:
"Are those countries important to you?"

"Are their people important to you?"

Hu Laideng was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a slight chill on Professor Wu's smiling face.

After a long silence, Hu Lai shook his head.

It just so happened that Professor Wu had just finished smoking his cigarette. He stubbed out the cigarette butt, dipped his right index finger in the teacup, and wrote a few words on the dark coffee table.

"Harvest."

After finishing writing, Professor Wu said with a smile:

"Aramco has always relied on technological hegemony to sell goods in the global market to harvest the world, and then transfer capital back to China."

"Now, we also have the ability to produce high-end chips and join the ranks of the Reapers."

"We can reduce the price of chips in the domestic market. Our scientific and technological progress should really give back to the Chinese people, but other countries, other people, other markets..."

"Don't you want to harvest them? Shouldn't they be our prey?"

Hu Lai was shocked. He was quite surprised by Professor Wu's attitude towards Mao Xiong before, and his remarks at this time made him even more impressed.

Unexpectedly, an economist who seems to be well-mannered has such radical ideas!
Before Hu Lai could speak, Director Zhang asked in shock:

"Professor Wu, do you mean that we don't want to fight a price war with Ami? Instead, we should unite to harvest the chip market?"

"Isn't Aramco our most important opponent? Wouldn't it be better for us to completely destroy their ecological chain with a price war?"

Professor Wu shook his head:

"It's not alliance, it's fighting without breaking, reaching a balance point!"

"Aramco has always been our most important opponent, but you have to know that the freezing of three feet does not happen overnight. The old capitalist countries are not so easy to be brought down. Our entry into overseas markets has already weakened Aramco's market share! "

"And now our domestic chip industry is still very weak, and your production capacity is seriously insufficient. The price war must be a lose-lose for us."

"From a strategic point of view, what we have to do now is to use our chip quality to continuously erode their overseas market share, and give them a thunderous blow when the time is right, instead of fighting them with price wars now. The net is broken!"

I have to say that Professor Wu's strategic thinking made Hu Lai see some things that he hadn't thought of before, and it really makes sense when he thinks about it carefully...

The current Phoenix Group is indeed facing a shortage of production capacity. Perhaps compared with a price war, it seems that Professor Wu's plan is more reliable.

but……

At this time, Hu Lai's eyes on Professor Wu had changed a little. He really didn't expect Professor Wu's economic views to be so radical.

After thinking for a long time, Hu Lai already had the answer in his heart.

……
