Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 350: Increasing U.S. dollar interest rates adds fuel to the fire, causing involution to destabilize island country companies

"Damn it! Solid-state batteries are expected to be used in the first generation of pilot cars?"

"Did I hear you correctly? Is it possible that the century-old era of fuel vehicles will end in the hands of this man?"

“Mr. Chen is awesome!!!”

"Really far ahead!!!"

"This is not a showdown, but a reshuffle. Not only in the semiconductor chip field, but also in the automotive field!"

"Stop talking, we're way ahead!"

The barrage in the live broadcast room could not stop, blocking out the sky like locusts passing by. No one expected that Chen Xing would announce the news of solid-state batteries at the end of the press conference.

What is a solid-state battery?
The lithium battery is fully solid-state inside!

At present, the focus of online attacks on electric vehicles is basically security.

This is why, even though Volvo’s exterior design is not good-looking enough, it can get a share of the automotive market with its excellent safety performance.

There is room for development of electric vehicles, provided there is a breakthrough in battery technology.

This sudden scene, and the fact that everyone's eyes were focused on him, made Wang Fu stunned for a moment.

"of course."

The words fell.

He originally came to attend a condolence meeting, but suddenly it turned into a press conference.

"That's good." Chen Xing nodded slightly and asked the question: "Mr. Wang, as far as I know, you acquired 2003% of Changan Qinchuan Automobile's shares in 77 and transitioned BYD's business from lithium iron phosphate batteries to Enter the automotive industry and launched the pure electric taxi EF3, the electric concept car ET, and the hybrid sedan Hybrid-S the following year. It is a veteran in the field of electric vehicles, so I would like to ask you your views on the future development of electric vehicles. "

However, his half-second pain mask has been accurately captured by Chen Xing on the stage. He also continued: "Since solid-state battery technology is a new technology, we cannot guarantee that it will be used in the first generation of cars. After all, the safety of users is our top priority. The bottom line to cross.”

But with that early morning live broadcast a month ago, Chen Xing had already ignited a fire in the hearts of the people of Longguo. Perhaps even he didn’t know it. It was precisely because of that live broadcast that the sales of fuel vehicles in May dropped year-on-year. 17%, a large number of prospective car owners are waiting and watching.

It just depends on your battery technology.

Cars and mobile phones are indispensable things for people's daily lives. However, the high price of cars and the extremely high cost of using cars make many people choose to travel by electric vehicles.

Cars are different from mobile phones. They pursue safety more.

"Clap clap-"

Because Chen Xing also announced just now that Longxing Technology Company's solid-state batteries have entered the safety test phase. Once the tests pass, they will be immediately used to make battery packs.

After such a reminder, Wang Fu also reacted, took the microphone handed to him, and responded to Chen Xing: "Of course."

There is no doubt that BYD is now one of the top three car companies in Longguo and has a decisive strength in the automotive industry.

Chen Xing pressed forward step by step, making it difficult for Wang Fu to resist.

Faced with the problem, Wang Fu thought for a while.

Looking at this situation now, Chen Xing is determined to get BYD to endorse electric vehicles and gain market recognition.

But if he says that electric cars are not good, then Wang Fu is equivalent to denying himself ten years ago, and increasing the risk of being slapped in the face.

"Well..."

In addition to expressing this meaning, Wang Fu also wanted to express that if there is no revolutionary improvement in battery technology, then there is no room for the development of electric vehicles.

These words were not only asking questions, but also told the history of BYD's fortune. The most important thing is that Chen Xing also mentioned that Wang Fu once made electric cars, which added a lot of interest to the conversation. authoritative.

The entire scene immediately switched to focus on Wang Fu.

If the electrolyte is made into a solid state, even if the battery is bumped, deformed, or even bent, it is less likely to spontaneously ignite.

After hesitating for a moment, he gave an ambiguous answer: "With breakthroughs in battery technology, I think there is room for the development of electric vehicles."

But Wang Fu never expected that the final technology at the conference would be solid-state battery technology that could change the landscape of fuel vehicles!
"Mr. Wang gives you the microphone." The staff reminded in a low voice.

to be honest.

"If Mr. Wang does not consider battery technology, will BYD resume its electric vehicle business?"

"Indeed." Chen Xing nodded and agreed while continuing: "The level of battery technology is directly related to the battery life and safety of the car, which is what we are pursuing."

Once Wang Fu says that the development of electric vehicles is necessary, it is equivalent to using BYD's reputation to endorse electric vehicles.

"But!" Chen Xing changed the topic and continued: "As long as the test is qualified, we will immediately put it on the market."

To put it bluntly, who hasn’t been in a few car accidents while driving?
If the safety factor is low, similar to the quality of Hyundai Motors and JAC Motors, it will be scary to drive on the road.

This is because there is liquid electrolyte inside the lithium battery, and its leakage can easily cause spontaneous combustion inside the lithium battery.

When the applause subsided slightly, Chen Xing looked at Wang Fu in the audience and said, "I see a leading CEO in the automotive field in the audience. Mr. Wang, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"

If you say a press conference, then it is a press conference. The previous ones are all technologies in the field of semiconductor chips, and they have nothing to do with BYD.

The guests present are all CEOs of companies with a market value of one billion, so these subtexts can naturally be understood, and Chen Xing is no exception.

He is also a veteran.

The audience burst into warm applause again.

When the question was raised, Wang Fu couldn't help but look at Chen Xing.

"He really came for us." Wang Fu at the press conference had already put on a mask of pain, but it disappeared in an instant.

Wang Fu had no reason to refute.

As Chen Xing mentioned earlier, BYD acquired 2003% of Changan Qinchuan Automobile's shares in 77, and the following year launched the pure electric taxi EF3, electric concept car ET, and hybrid car Hybrid-S.

If he says no now, he will not only deny his original strategy and slap himself in the face, but once Longxing Technology succeeds in building a car, netizens will also slap him in the face.

In order to accumulate reputation, avoid risks, and because he has a battery foundation and can clearly see the development of electric vehicles, Wang Fu can only obey Chen Xing's wishes and give high praise to electric vehicles.

After getting the answer he wanted, Chen Xing did not continue to ask, but changed the topic again: "Thank you very much, Mr. Wang, for your recognition and speech on the electric vehicle market, and for helping your power battery to a higher level."

"!!!"

As soon as the words "power battery" came out, Wang Fu frowned instantly.

Who leaked it?

BYD has laid out power batteries. Who leaked the news about entering electric vehicles?

It is no exaggeration to say that in half a second, seven or eight names flashed through Wang Fu's mind, making his face become increasingly gloomy.

It is not uncommon for people in the industry to set up spies for each other and obtain first-hand intelligence. This is something everyone does.

But BYD power battery is the pinnacle of Wang Fu's ten years of planning.

Do you think he stopped the power battery project when he failed to build a car?
Do not!
He is waiting for his chance.

Because he started out by making lithium iron phosphate batteries, no one understands battery energy better than Wang Fu. He firmly believes that electric vehicles can replace fuel vehicles. Otherwise, he would not have become the first person after acquiring 77% of Changan Qinchuan Automobile's shares. Time to build electric cars.

However, Wang Fu would not have thought that BYD's ten-year layout was actually told to Chen Xing "personally" by him. The reason is also very simple. Chen Xing had read Wang Fu's autobiography and interviews in his previous life, so he naturally memorized this important information. .

As Chen Xing hinted that BYD also had a plan, the boss at the scene once again looked at Wang Fu. Some people were surprised, some were confused, and some were shocked.

At the SAIC Group headquarters far away in Shanghai, CEO Chen Hong felt her heart skip a beat and fell into silence.

"BYD also has plans. Is it possible that electric vehicles are really the future trend?"

Chen Hong is thinking about this problem.

Not only Chen Hong, CEO of SAIC, but also CEOs of Dongfeng Motor Group, Guangzhou Automobile Group, and Changan Automobile Group are pondering whether there is a possibility of the development of electric vehicles.

Three laymen, Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Rebus, came to grab the cake. Some of them were dismissive because cars are no more complicated than mobile phones. They are several times more complicated.

Take differentials as an example. There are only a handful of car companies that can make this well.

But things are different now!

BYD has a plan!

BYD can also be regarded as an established car company with excellent technology.

It has a layout, so that's different.

This caused the CEO of the automobile industry to ponder. This is also Chen Xing’s purpose, to promote the new concept of electric vehicles.

This is like the food delivery industry. Before the business war between Meituan and Ele.me, social recognition was generally not high, and many people went to restaurants in person.

But with the seemingly free subsidies, a meal that originally costs 20 yuan only costs 5 yuan, so users naturally use takeout apps to order food.

But as the subsidy disappears and meal prices return to normal, it will be a little difficult for users to break away from the convenient meal delivery service. This is to cultivate users' behavioral habits.

If emerging cars want to break out of the tight siege and promote new concepts, they must defeat established car companies in all aspects to gain the upper hand.

In addition, the construction of charging piles also requires joint efforts.

Of course.

Established car companies can resist the challenge.

But when electric vehicles really beat fuel vehicles in all aspects, they can only be abandoned by the times and become a thing of the past.

Therefore, car companies must roll up, which is what Chen Xing wants to see.

Only when car companies roll up their game can users get more discounts, and Pilot Auto can take the lead by stepping on its "predecessors".

The audience in the live broadcast room listened to the conversation between Chen Xing and Wang Fu, and they all expressed their opinions, and barrages kept popping up.

"BYD actually plans to deploy electric vehicles, which means that electric energy drive is feasible. I will have to wait for this."

"Originally, I wanted to order a BMW 5 Series. Now, I'll just wait and see. Maybe electric cars can surprise me."

"A car is like choosing a wife. If you don't choose well, you will be miserable for the rest of your life. You should keep your eyes open!"

"BYD is making electric cars, so I choose to wait."

"The party will never lose money if you wait!"

A simple conversation has allowed Chen Xing to use BYD's influence to further gain market recognition for the concept of electric vehicles.

At the same time, it also put Wang Fu in a difficult position, and his power battery was exposed.

What he is confused about now is which bastard leaked the news?
If he finds out, he will surely suffer the consequences. Chen Xing also saw that Wang Fu was very angry, but he did not continue to bring the topic to him. Instead, he turned his attention back to himself and said: "So many technologies were announced tonight, so naturally we need to talk about their prices. ”

"hiss--"

All the guests present were surprised.

Announce price?

Is it possible that it is still for sale?

"As far as the current market is concerned, the price of 11N12-inch mainstream semiconductor silicon wafers is around 2000 yuan, and the preliminary pricing of our 14N16-inch semiconductor silicon wafers and 14N20-inch semiconductor silicon wafers is..."

Chen Xing pressed the remote control, and the LED screen screen immediately switched. The prices of 2500 yuan and 3500 yuan popped up, making the audience exclaim again.

"A 16-inch semiconductor silicon wafer only costs 2500? A 20-inch semiconductor wafer only costs 3500? This is going to kill all our friends and colleagues!"

"Shuffle the cards! Completely shuffle the cards!"

"It's too curly, Mr. Chen!"

“I feel like my friend is going to faint in the toilet from crying.”

Regarding the preliminary pricing of semiconductor silicon wafers, the bosses on site all lamented, and they also saw Chen Xing's determination to "do the same".

In the Shin-Etsu Group, which is far away in the island country, Fujii Koyama seemed to have eaten a lump of food at this time, and his face was extremely ugly.

He never thought that the trick he used to deal with Longguo Enterprise would one day be used on him.

Going back to 5 years ago, 8-inch semiconductor silicon wafers were still the mainstream. Longguo Semiconductor silicon wafer companies were also making every effort to conquer this size and invested huge R&D funds.

The most important thing is that at that time, a large number of production equipment from island countries’ companies were also purchased.

When huge R&D costs were invested, companies led by Shanghai Silicon Group finally conquered the 11N 8-inch semiconductor silicon wafer.

But when they were preparing to make a profit and wanted to earn foreign exchange through exports, Shin-Etsu Group, Shengco Group, and Shichuang Group jointly launched 11N12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers. The output of bare wafers was nearly three times that of 8-inch semiconductor silicon wafers. Its price is only 3 US dollars more than the 8-inch model, which is 30 yuan.

If you were one of the top five lithography factories in the world, how would you choose?
no doubt.

Definitely choose 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafer.

It was precisely this move that caused the heavily indebted Longguo Semiconductor silicon wafer company to die and get hurt. Even the leading company Shanghai Silicon Group had no choice but to change its direction to engage in photovoltaic silicon wafers.

Now Chen Xing has come back with 14N 16-inch and 20-inch semiconductor silicon wafers, still using the same market strategy. This makes Fujii Koyama somewhat regretful that he had joined forces with other companies to start Longguo Enterprises.

There is no regret medicine in the world. Now it is their turn to face "industry involution".

The three leaders of Shin-Etsu Group, Shenggao Group and Shichuang Group are all frowning and thinking about how to deal with the enemy.

After Chen Xing announced the preliminary listing price of semiconductor silicon wafers, Neihan Youshang said: "There is an idiom in Longguo, which is small profits but quick turnover. We really want to sell our products at this price, and it is by no means targeting our friends and colleagues. We, Longxing, Tech companies are notoriously resistant to involution.”

Ren Guofei: "..."

Rebus: "..."

Wang Fu: "..."

All bosses: "..."

Not involution?
Only a ghost can believe it!

If Longxing Technology hadn't been involved in the involution and launched 120W Star Flash fast charging, who in the mobile phone industry would be involved in the field of fast charging?

The most popular company actually said it would not be involved. Who the hell would believe this?
When Rebus heard this, he smiled bitterly, looked at Ren Guofei and said, "Longxing Technology is the most troubled in the entire industry. What Brother Chen said makes me want to beat him up."

"It does deserve a beating." Ren Guofei nodded, and then changed the topic: "But this time it's not us who are involved. Let the semiconductor wafer manufacturers slowly deal with him."

"The price of mobile phones was calculated in 14, and the price of semiconductor materials was calculated in 15. Longxing Technology has really grown from a small amount to a big one."

Duan Yongping said with emotion.

"There are also skills, which are also relevant." Chen Yong added for him.

While others have 28nm chips, Longxing Technology has 14nm. Others have 7nm chips, but Longxing Technology has announced 3nm. Who can beat this?

Several mobile phone manufacturer CEOs are quite calm. They have already dealt with Chen Xinguan. Now the Longguo mobile phone market is relatively harmonious, and everyone has obtained corresponding shares based on their own abilities.

However, Wang Fu, who was sitting not far from them, felt a little on pins and needles at this moment, with a lump in his throat and a thorn in his back. Chen Xing continued the "rolling" style. He was really afraid that the pilot car would also be rolled.

But don't forget the 9.9-unit B-class car, which is really a kill-level car.

"In addition to semiconductor silicon wafers, we also choose small profits but quick turnover, and the price of photoresist is..."

Chen Xing pressed the remote control again, and the price immediately appeared on the LED screen.

半导体光刻胶：g线光刻胶200元、i线光刻胶250元、KrF光刻胶400元、ArF光刻胶500元和EUV光刻胶1500元每公斤。

LCD photoresist: color photoresist 400 yuan, black photoresist 300 yuan, touch screen photoresist and TFT-LCD positive photoresist 450 yuan per kilogram.

PCB photoresist: dry film photoresist, wet film photoresist and photoimaging solder mask ink, all cost 300 yuan per kilogram.

When the price was announced, the CEOs of JSR Co., Ltd. and TOK Tokyo Yinghua were completely unable to sit still.

"Baga Yalu! This is not a business competition, this is going to kill us!"

"It's 30% cheaper than the market price, but the photoresistance reaches a high purity of 10^25. Chen Xingqian has no way to survive!"

Maeda Hidetsugi and Kobayashi Rokuro were both roaring.

They never thought that someone could do this. Not only did the product's strength improve, but the price also dropped.

This is no longer involution, this is a naked business war!
Chen Xing's purpose is actually very simple, that is, to take advantage of the depression in the general environment to give these Japanese companies a final head-on blow.

To put it bluntly, the current increase in U.S. interest rates has led to global economic depression and the collapse of stock markets in island countries. If Chen Xing adds to the fire, it is very likely that he can completely blow up Shin-Etsu Group, Shengco Group, JSR Co., Ltd., and TOK Tokyo Yinghua , then he can buy the bottom and increase the production capacity of his factory.

He involutes, not blindly.

If it weren't for the U.S. dollar interest rate hike, Chen Xing wouldn't be so volatile.

It was precisely because the United States created an "involvement" environment that Chen Xing thought of adding another fire to the island country's corporate finance, and then he went to collect bloody chips.

Renato Marotta, who was far away across the ocean, had already seen Chen Xing's thoughts. He was now clenching his fists and veins popped out on the side of his neck.

What does it mean to use force to fight?

This is called leveraging strength to fight!

Don’t you want to explode global finance?

Let me give you a ride!
But this situation is not what Renato Marotta wants to see, because the target of the United States' financial boom is not the island country, but the Dragon Country, the Bear and the European Union countries.

Chen Xing has now made it clear that he is going to be involved in involution. If the semiconductor companies in the island country are collectively destroyed and Chen Xing is allowed to buy the bottom, then the strength of Long Country in the semiconductor field will grow by leaps and bounds.

Not just mature manufacturing processes, but also production equipment.

Is there any way back?

No!

The U.S. dollar cannot stop raising interest rates.

Once it stops, a large amount of U.S. dollars will need to be cashed out, and the Federal Reserve and even the entire U.S. national power will be emptied.

"Damn guy!" Renato Marotta stared at Chen Xing in the picture with murderous intent. If looks could kill, Chen Xing would have been torn into pieces by him.

Now it is not just Renato Marotta, the future successor of the Federal Reserve Bank of America, David Rothschild is also clenching his fists at this moment and slamming his desk.

"Bam—"

"Damn Chen Xing, you want to use our hands to harvest the island country's enterprises, damn it!" Davidic Rothschild hammered the table several times again, his temper no longer concealed.

On the other side of the office, Lyle Valles, a member of the All-Vision Committee and the leader of the Baley Group, was relatively calm. He said in a deep voice: "Chen Xing's abacus is really good. Now it seems that the only way to go is to subsidize money." Played with him."

"call--"

Davidic Rothschild took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down and said, "This is the only way."

The U.S. dollar interest rate hike cannot be stopped unless it has devastated global finance.

Before global finance explodes, once the U.S. dollar interest rate hikes are stopped, global funds will return to their original places, and the Federal Reserve will face the pressure of difficulty in cashing out.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Xing thought of using this sickle to expand the semiconductor wafer and photoresist companies in the island country, and then followed up with bargain-hunting acquisitions to complete the layout of increasing production capacity.

And at the same time.

the other side.

Chairman of Peninsula LG Group, Ju Benmao, now has sweaty palms and prays with a wipe: "Chen Xing, please don't mess with me. I didn't mess with you, and I didn't participate in the sanctions. Now that the U.S. dollar is raising interest rates, everyone is having a hard time." , please don’t come to involve me..."

The two were thousands of miles apart, so naturally Chen Xing couldn't hear what he said.

Since he wants to "leverage his own strength", he will implement it to the end. He will not let go of any opportunity to grow the company.

"In addition to semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresists, we will also announce preliminary pricing for methacrylates and acrylates."

Chen Xing pressed the remote control again.

The price screen appears again on the LED screen.

Methacrylate: 8000 yuan/ton.

Acrylic ester: 7000 yuan/ton.

"Xiba!"

"Xiba!"

"Chen Xing, you Xiba!"

The moment Ju Benmao saw the price, "Xiba" came out of his mouth. The price was 20% lower than their market price, and the profit left to them was less than 10%. Why didn't this make him crazily shout "Xiba"?

This kind of bottomless involution made Shigeru Shigeru, Maeda Hidetsugi, Kobayashi Rokuro, and Fujii Koyama all madly cursed at Chen Xing for not being a human being and just coming to cause trouble.

However, Chen Xing disagreed. If it was a domestic company, he would not be involved in this way, but if it was a foreign company, he would not be merciful. If he was involved to death, he could still "pick up the body", just like when he was involved. Like the dead pineapple company, it picked up its industrial chain, and the Longxing Technology Production Factory was directly on the right track.

After continuously announcing product prices, Chen Xing's smile did not diminish. He pressed the remote control again and said: "The prices of chip raw material products have also been announced. Here I want to emphasize again that due to the frequent interest rate hikes in the US dollar, its currency expansion coefficient has shown rapid growth. Trend, Longxing Technology Company and any product export trade of its subsidiaries only support Longguo currency for trade settlement!”
