I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 301 Chapter 161-162: Sansang’s reaction and new crisis! (Two chapters in total)
The small actions that Sansang is going to make cannot be hidden from the Chinese media.

When Sansang Technology proposed targeted requirements for Hillhouse Technology's SOC, major online and offline media publicly reported on the matter.

"Sansang suddenly made a big move, and the SOC-level strategic chips sold to Hillhouse Technology will have a larger increase. 》

"The Crisis and Opportunity of Hillhouse Technology, the top SOC price increases due to the hot sales of Hillhouse X1!" 》

"A happy funeral?" Hillhouse Technology’s chip woes are thought-provoking. 》

"Why did an accidental product become a hot seller and become a highly anticipated enterprise in China, causing a backlash from big foreign capital? National self-confidence should not come from here. 》

"There is no need to overreact. Domestic technology companies in China should practice more internal skills and should not be too obsessed with challenging foreign capital. 》

"The domestic chip industry has collapsed, and Hillhouse Technology has encountered major difficulties. The consequence should be the annihilation of the entire army." 》

Even if you don't read the content, you can still see that the current media is directly divided into two factions.

One group believes that Hillhouse Technology, as a national enterprise in China, is naturally the pride of the Chinese people!

The government should put more money and energy into projects that deserve more funding, such as Project Hope, instead of wasting it in the hands of a private enterprise.

In modern society, globalization allows companies around the world to compete together!
Foreign companies will also set up branches in China.

Even the supporting technologies related to our upstream lithography machines also have big problems.

If Hillhouse Chip had not been established for a short period of time, it would have also been short of funds, which would have prevented it from scaling up.

It can be said that Sansang's Zheng Zhi foundation in China is very rich.

So in the final analysis, this incident is more like a warning to most people who care about China's electronic technology industry!
A warning that outside capital can impose its influence!

There is also a flash memory factory in Chang'an city.

However, what Sansang is doing now is not like this.

The other group believes that now is the era of globalization, and it does not matter whether Chinese companies are alive or not.

And more importantly, Sansang's investment in China can be said to be very strong. There are two mobile phone factories in Nanyue and Tianjing!

There is even a possibility of plan B. It is absolutely impossible for Sansang Company to do such a thing.

Isn't this tantamount to encouraging foreign capital and forcefully suppressing Chinese enterprises?

This kind of thing does not actually belong to monopoly behavior. Monopolistic behavior refers to foreign manufacturers using ultra-low prices to forcibly disrupt the Chinese market and achieve crowding out through ultra-low prices. Suppress competing products to achieve the goal of taking over the market.

However, objectively speaking, even the media that reported positively believe that the core point of Hillhouse Technology this time is that in the entire process of globalization, its own internal circulation has not been done well, and it has been criticized. The external cooperative store is cheating customers, so let’s get it right!
At the same time, it is impossible to avoid a big problem:

Under such a premise, it does not matter whether China's local companies are doing well or not.

If such a company has received unfair treatment, it naturally needs the state to seek justice for it.

Although such an action is unethical, it is impossible for you to punish Sansang through the Anti-Unfair Competition Law!
Because what the company Sansang is doing now is normal market behavior.

Otherwise, if a good company comes out, it will be directly suppressed. Then if other similar companies want to develop R&D in the future, won't they also be suppressed to death?

It uses ultra-high prices to force partners to increase their selling prices, and then achieves the purpose of weakening partners.

The cost of my product is high. I increase the profit of my product by increasing the selling price. Is there any problem with this?

There is indeed a big problem with our chip research and development.

However, when I lament that Sansang Company is lagging behind in terms of technology accumulation and comprehensive aspects at home and abroad.

Gradually, whether it is the media or the public, the mainstream direction is to discuss more about how to solve such dilemmas and problems!

For example, the voice of China should focus on the research and development of photolithography machines and other upstream supporting chip industries within the system, such as etching machines and photoresists, has become louder again.

There are also discussions on the same issue on various forums.

"Hillhouse Technology is really in danger this time! The 100% increase in SOC prices is not just a problem of parts, but a systemic problem. Unexpectedly, the cost of their single mobile phone will increase many."

"Isn't that right! The price of SOC has increased, and SOC accounts for more than 10% of the price of the whole machine. The increase in cost must also increase in proportion! In this situation, which other company is willing to share the same price? Cooperation? They can only accept this price increase!"

"You may not know how dangerous this price increase is for Hillhouse Technology. Hillhouse has high R&D costs and low sales, so their single-machine costs are very high, which has led to the average profit margin of all mobile phones. It just fluctuates around 15%. Even their high-end models are around 20%! Under this premise, the profit margin of high-end models is directly lowered to less than 10%. That's it. Do you think it’s difficult to calculate the price reduction caused by the decline of the model?”

"Under the current circumstances, if we insist on absorbing Sansang's price increase, then Hillhouse Technology will really only have half its life left. How can it develop!"

"Could they use their own self-developed chips to forcefully pass this level?"

"This is impossible! Their current chips are two eras away from the latest technology. This seems easy, but in fact it is a world of difference. In today's level that requires hard technology, they play like this Son, you must be sending yourself into the abyss.”

"Stop talking, I hope Hillhouse Technology can get through this!"

"If you can pass this level safely, then Hillhouse Technology will be awesome!"

"The profit margin of new products is higher than that of old products. I hope this product can bring greater adjustment and more time to Hillhouse Technology!"

【Chapter 162】

However, just when everyone was enthusiastically discussing Hillhouse Technology's technology, discussing Hillhouse Technology's profits, and discussing that Hillhouse Technology was about to be at a loss to face the thunderous blow of Sansang Electronics.

Hillhouse Technology is also organizing executives to conduct emergency public relations in response to this unexpected incident.

"Now can we discuss it with Qualcomm and TI, or even MediaTek? Can we get through this first?"

"We have found everything we should look for, and Mr. Ning has also tried what we shouldn't look for. Now MediaTek can ship it, but..."

"but what?"

"But their goods are a bit inappropriate! And their prices have increased by 50% from the original price!"

"Good guy! A 50% increase! And if MediaTek is not suitable, then all related mobile phones, whether it is mate6 or X1, will need to be re-fine-tuned. The design cost alone will increase by more than million. This amount Who will provide the money? "It's really difficult to do this now! We can't do it with Hillhouse Technology alone!"

"The current domestic electronic technology, especially chip supporting equipment, is so weak. This is nothing more than a structural problem."

"Under the current system, it is completely impossible to stimulate the creativity of scientific researchers in the research and development of single-chip supporting equipment, etching machines, photolithography machines, photoresists, etc. For example, in beautiful countries, they are developed by commercial companies. The state is only responsible for issuing contracts and orders. Under the trend of interests, competition will naturally form. I don’t know how much better than our current system. "

"So, now that we are controlled by others, it is really difficult to change!"

"Not to mention other things, just in terms of chip supporting research and development, not only the design is lacking, but even the manufacturing sector is completely blank! Huaxin International has been engaged in chip manufacturing for how long! Even a 56NM , we haven’t done it yet! How can we keep up?”

"That's not true. Even if you put aside the facts, who would invest so much money in lithography machines, chip manufacturing, and large-scale packaging? Now, whether it is Asmail or Taiwan Jidian, they are all the same This person has become a behemoth and cannot be surpassed by others. Our country is nothing, so how can we spend a lot of money to get into trouble? "

"Yes, and this amount of money is not that small! It is estimated that it will cost almost one trillion yuan!"

"One trillion? Good guy, really good guy!"

"One trillion is too little. The establishment of a whole system is not a matter of money. The proficiency and integration of personnel, as well as the support of the market, are all indispensable. It is normal that the country does not dare to support it now. Just rely on us It is very difficult to support a small business like Hillhouse! "

While everyone was discussing how to deal with various plans, they were discussing the executability of various plan Bs.

Or when I was talking nonsense and thinking about this product and how to make up for it.

Suddenly, a very sudden sound came from behind them.

"What plan B!"

"What an institutional problem!"

"Everything you said is nonsense!"

"Hillhouse Technology, why did it suddenly become like this?"

"We at Hillhouse, if our skills are inferior to others, our skills are inferior to others! Is it difficult to admit this? We have to discuss a lot of things here, in the same old way, and what institutional issues are involved."

"It seems that your salary at Hillhouse is much higher."

"It's Sansang now, and it will be MediaTek in the future!"

"If MediaTek does something to us again, how should we deal with it?"

"Guys, haven't you ever thought about this problem?"

As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone sitting around the dining table couldn't help but become ugly!

The executives of Hillhouse Technology are discussing matters. Who dares to speak so wildly and casually discuss Hillhouse's top secrets?
However, when they came back to their senses and stood up to take a look, their expressions changed involuntarily.

Good guy!
Boss Gao Huaijun and Gao, who were usually invisible to the dragon, suddenly stood behind them with a gloomy expression.

Originally, Gao Huaijun didn't care much about some of the routine operational affairs of Hillhouse Technology.

Some daily matters will be handed over to Min Weiguo, while some important decision-making matters will be passed by Ning Yuan and then reported to Gao Huaijun for processing.

But now, the Sansang incident was so prominent that he could not just ignore it and let his subordinates handle the incident on their own.

At the beginning, everyone was filled with indignation when they heard Gao Huaijun directly denounced the people within Hillhouse.

Hillhouse Technology, including the environment in China, is here. If you let these straight men in science and engineering talk nonsense, you are making things difficult for them.

But as he complained one after another about the inferiority complex of Hillhouse Technology, his excitement suddenly cooled down.

He said it. . . It’s really true!
At least, leaving aside the so-called 'system'.

There are still many things that Hillhouse Technology can do.

If domestic photolithography machines are not good, then look for those from Daiwan Province!
If subsequent packaging fails, some backward production capacity will be given to domestic packaging companies for support.

In this case, if we feel sorry for ourselves here, will our competitors let them go?
impossible!

It is absolutely impossible!
Hillhouse Technology, a company, has fallen from the place where it was polished and maintained, and is now completely exposed to the table of big capital.

It is absolutely impossible for this group of people to let Gao Lian go!
In the eyes of these capital giants, the current behavior of Hillhouse Technology executives can definitely be described as clowns.

However, the people who have repeatedly created miracles can't help but think of it.

How long will it take for this gap to be smoothed out?
In other words, maybe it will never be wiped out!

Only those who are in this industry can know how big the gap is between Hillhouse and the best in the world!
Seeing everyone's applications from angry to excited, and then from excited to disappointed, Gao Huaijun stood still without speaking.

He knew that the confidence of these people could never be easily destroyed.

Because it is precisely because of such a large number of people that, despite experiencing countless setbacks and blows, they still held up a large part of China in this dark time of 2012.

However, the short vacuum period is really difficult!

Gao Huaijun took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily, "From now on, we will start executing plan C!"

planC?

Doubts flashed across everyone's faces.

You look at me, I look at you.

No one knew what Gao Huaijun meant.

planB they know.

Now MediaTek has reluctantly agreed to make Hillhouse Technology's replacement chip. Although the quality is worse than Sansang's, it can still be used.

But, what exactly is this planC?
