Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1660: Terminal products begin to be shipped secretly

"Chips are the only component with the highest technical content, so the price must naturally rise. When the price of your mobile phone rises, it will naturally not be as competitive as others."

"Brand + price and practicality are the core competitiveness of the product. Foreigners are good at it. I bet that chip prices will increase. Don't worry about our thousand-yuan phones. The price will not increase by a dime, and the performance must be improved."

"Next year when there is another breakthrough in our chip manufacturing process, we will launch high-end machines and bring down the price of high-end machines. These days, some people always want to eat fat all the time, and we must treat their problems."

Ji Donglai said excitedly when thinking about the pattern that China's manufacturing industry will face next.

Not long ago, Comrade Jianguo came to power with a high profile. And he announced a concept that most scholars and media in China dare not say and keep secret: From now on, the interests of the United States will come first!

This means that all things that conflict with the interests of the United States, no matter what so-called organizations, agreements, or even previously signed partnerships, will be invalidated. Of course, this also includes a period of beautiful words spoken around the world. Those who are disobedient will be invalidated even if they are domestic. The people also have to take the bullet.

As for the opposition from outside? If you understand, accept it! If you don’t understand, just accept it first and bear it, and you don’t need to understand.

High-end machine tools, cars, smartphones, computers, and other high-tech equipment produced in other countries are all forcing you to increase prices.

Because the price of its chips has gone up, you have to increase the price. After the price increases, the products will no longer be competitive around the world, and various economic problems will naturally occur.

"That's true. If you don't tell me, I've ignored it. Recently, someone purchased our core machine tools through Afhan, and some of the core chips in them are from abroad."

Fortunately, the direction has been set, and the mobile phone system of previous years has also been set. Only a few small parts need to be strengthened. As long as enough time is given, Ji Donglai believes that he will be able to create a super company.

Knowing what Ji Donglai was worried about, Li Dongzhen quickly reminded him.

In a short period of time, chip problems are difficult to solve.

Sometimes things happen in this magical place in the Middle East that catch you off guard. High-end equipment manufacturing requires high-end machine tools, and Europe, the United States and Japan are relatively concentrated procurement targets.

The supporting mobile phone system, plus the chip, then the structural design, and core operation calculations are all problems that need to be solved. Ji Donglai's one-yuan mobile phone has solved a lot of problems in recent years, and there are still a lot of problems that need to be solved.

Some people want to spend three to five years to spend money to build a super chip empire, which is simply a fantasy.

Unfortunately, these factories are all under the supervision of the United States. Once the ban is issued, Japan's lithography machines will not be able to be exported to the Chinese market, including the high-end chips produced by the other party.

South Korea's market itself is very small, and it has the largest factory in the world, which produces enough chips for a country. Large factories such as Japan's Nikon, Canon, and Seagate are also important shipping factories for photolithography machines.

"If it is discovered, we may be sanctioned. I wonder if we should replace it. After all, this thing sometimes causes trouble. The sales of machine tools have been steadily increasing in the past few years. If it is included in the list, We're going to have some trouble."

Compared with China, a big country with huge market demand but almost no chip field, Japan and South Korea have more room for maneuver.

However, along with the export of ideology, machine tools in these places have been marked, and there will be restrictions on the import of high-end machine tools into the country.

A DMG from the Nationalities Institute costs more than 55 million yuan. Now the company occasionally borrows it. It is surrounded by surveillance cameras and is not allowed to be used for military production.

Many customers who do not like to continue to be suppressed buy Xinyu machine tools from Li Dongzhen through middlemen, selling thirty units at a time, and Li Dongzhen has agreed. "As long as there is a third country, it can be arranged to replace the chip. There is nothing wrong with keeping a low profile. It is not suitable for us to go head-to-head with many people and develop in a shabby way."

"Brother, it's okay to sell our company's products through various channels. Don't worry about the target, as long as we don't fall into passivity."

"In addition, we have a cooperation project with the American army in the Middle East. If something happens, we will say that we are repairing equipment for them. If it is lost in the middle, just call the police. Anyone can look for it wherever they want."

In the early 2000s, Ji Donglai was so excited when he got two American machine tools. He was almost proud of his peers. They are still used in the workshop, but they have been turned into equipment for processing semi-finished products.

The high-end machines of Xinyu Machine Tools have basically replaced the core position of European and American machine tools in one-yuan manufacturing.

Domestic companies that cooperate with Yiyuan Manufacturing have basically replaced Xinyu machine tools, and now the days of relying on others are finally over.

"It turns out that you are very different from before. In the past, you would have set up a TV station to broadcast the great achievements of your company."

"This time I didn't even apply for a project, which is rare. Sometimes hiding is more intimidating than showing it. It's been more than ten years since I borrowed equipment from me, and now my equipment is world-leading."

Li Dongzhen said that a few years ago, Li Dongzhen had deep feelings. At that time, Ji Donglai's military rubber parts had to rely on Li Dongzhen's Gu'an Rubber Factory for endorsement, and the technology could barely meet the requirements of foreigners.

Now Ji Donglai is the standard, this is growth, growth that no one can predict.

On the other hand, the Gu'an Rubber Factory is still half-dead and has no desire to grow. Li Dongzhen is glad that he followed Ji Dong to come out, otherwise he would never have seen such a wonderful world in his life.

After putting down the phone, Ji Donglai closed his eyes and rested in the office for a long time until his mood completely calmed down.

"Get through to Mr. Zhao!"

"Roger that, boss!"

The smart voice was awakened and contacted Zhao Shuying in minutes. At this time, Zhao Shuying was checking Ji Donglai's assets. Now Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing is starting to be short of money again.

According to Ji Donglai's request, as long as the group is short of money, Ji Donglai's assets can be disposed of at any time, and courtyards in the capital can also be sold when necessary.

Now that the chip side is secretly expanding production, the rate of burning money is accelerating again, and Zhao Shuying's wallet is beginning to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Mr. Ji, I'm online!"

Picking up the Bluetooth headset, Zhao Shuying stared at the financial statements in front of him and Ji Donglai's invisible assets.

"Has Dai Fengxian been looking for trouble these days?"

Thinking of the current situation of the company, Ji Donglai knew that he should make a break with Dai Fengxian. This woman is a staunch rentier. If the other party can provide help to her, it is fine, but every time the other party will stand against her at critical moments, this is abominable.
