Reborn since 1993

Chapter 562 The general trend of the world is vast and majestic

The meaning of Li Dongling's words was very clear. If Walden International becomes "one of our own", then everything will be easy. In the future, if Dongling Hi-Tech has new Internet projects, Walden can be brought in.

But if the cooperation fails, then... we are just passers-by. In the Internet industry, Walden has neither the connections of Sequoia Capital nor as much money as Wall Street investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Citigroup. So why cooperate with it?

What the world lacks most is helping others in times of need, and what it lacks least is icing on the cake. But even if you want icing on the cake, you still need to see if the other person needs those little things!

Chen Liwu also understood the meaning of Li Dongling's words. He suddenly understood why Li Dongling wanted Walden to invest in this chip production base.

I'm afraid that money is only one aspect. More importantly, they want Walden's connections and resources in America!

On the Doxin Semiconductor side, except for some projects such as lithography machines and Tianji, which are not open to Walden, all other projects are basically open to Walden.

Daly, who was in charge of the evaluation of Doxin Semiconductor, frowned as he read along. The evaluation paper in his hand was almost full.

However, Lin Qingyang still looked normal, and it was obvious that he did not find anything strange about the situation of Doxin Semiconductor.

"I have to remind you that Dongxin is not an ideal chip investment company. Its technology has no advantages over chip factories in America, Japan, Singapore, and Formosa.

They are going to build an 8-inch wafer factory. Even if it is built, given the situation of the inland chip industry, unless Dongxin itself places an order for this chip factory, it will be difficult to grab other chip orders! "

Daley whispered to Chen Liwu that, putting aside metaphysics, from the perspective of a professional analyst, he really couldn't see that Dongxin's chip factory had any advantages over those overseas chip manufacturers.

The only hope is that this chip factory can rely on its parent company to provide it with orders, but this goes back to the starting point. Dongxin itself is only second- or third-rate in the global chip industry. It has no advantage over Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments, Toshiba, etc. How many orders can it get?

“And there is one more thing, it is no longer a secret, the American Trade Commission, the Foreign Affairs Committee, etc. will announce the Wassenaar Arrangement at the latest this month.

Once this news is released, Walden’s investment in Dongxin will face greater risks, and may even completely lose the hope of making a profit! ”

Daley told Chen Liwu his judgment. In his eyes, Dongxin was a project with great risks but uncertain returns. In the past, Daley would have thrown away such projects at a glance without even taking a second look.

Chen Liwu listened to Daley's words without changing his expression. He neither supported nor opposed it. He turned to Lin Qingyang and asked, "Qingyang, what do you think?"

"I still hold the opinion of investing in the Dongxin chip production base!"

"The inland market is still a nearly blank market. Its salary level is still very advantageous compared to America, old Europe, Japan and other places. I think that sooner or later, Intel, AMD, and even chip factories in Japan, South Korea, and Singapore will build factories in the inland because of manufacturing costs!"

"In addition, the inland itself is also a huge chip demand market. Sooner or later, the Dongxin chip factory will make a profit!"

After listening to Lin Qingyang's words, Daley shook his head and said, "What you said is only a possibility, but who can guarantee when that day will come? What if Dongxin's chip factory closes before that day comes? Who will bear the loss of Walden?"

Watching the faint sounds of dispute coming from behind, Wu Xinyi and several executives of Doxin Semiconductor couldn't help but look worried.

But Li Dongling's expression remained calm, as if he hadn't noticed anything about what was happening on Huaden's side.

When we entered the conference room of Doxin Semiconductor, the two groups of people were sitting facing each other, and the conference room was basically packed.

Wu Xinyi spoke first, "Dongxin Semiconductor's revenue and orders have hit record highs in the first half of this year!
Chip factories such as Yanjing NEC that manufacture for Dongxin are unable to meet Dongxin's chip orders, so Dongxin hopes to build its own chip factory. If this chip factory is built, there will be no need to worry about orders..."

“I’m sorry, but according to the information you gave us, more than 90% of Dongxin’s orders come from Dongling Hi-Tech.

This is very fatal for a chip company. I don't doubt Dongling Hi-Tech's intention, but what if one day Dongling Hi-Tech gives less orders to Dongxin?" Daley said.

Daley did not act aggressively, but once he said this, the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became a little colder.

"Donxin will have orders from other companies in the future, there is no need to worry about that!" Li Dongling said. As long as the Tianji chip project can be successful, Dongxin will definitely have a place in the domestic chip industry in the future. By then, there will be more than one or two companies purchasing Tianji chips.

When Daley heard this, he wanted to refute it, but who could believe what Li Dongling said without any evidence?

But he was stopped by Chen Liwu. He didn't know why Li Dongling was so sure, but with Li Dongling's current wealth and status, there was no reason for him to fool people for a project. Even if the project was worth hundreds of millions of dollars, it was nothing compared to Li Dongling's reputation.

"I believe what Mr. Li said!" Chen Liwu said to Li Dongling.

After hearing this, Daley finally said, "Even if Walden is willing to invest in Dongxin's chip factory project, if there are risks, how can Dongxin Semiconductor guarantee Walden's profits?
Although we are not partners yet, we would like to send you a message for free. If nothing unexpected happens, the Wassenaar Arrangement will be announced by the American Trade Commission in the near future.

Although the Wassenaar Arrangement only applies to four places such as the Kingdom of Babylon, other regions, including the inland, need the consent of all Wassenaar countries if they want to import high-end equipment from countries that have joined the Wassenaar Arrangement! "

As soon as Daley said this, there was a burst of noise in the conference room. This news was too sudden. If this agreement was really launched, it would probably be more difficult for domestic companies to purchase advanced technology, precision instruments, and high-end equipment from overseas in the future.

Wu Xinyi was somewhat surprised and looked at Li Dongling. The news revealed by Daley was shocking.

But for Wu Xinyi, it was not so surprising, because Li Dongling had reminded him years ago!

Up to now, although it is impossible for Doxin Semiconductor to have a perfect plan, it is not in a panic. Since last year, Doxin Semiconductor has used various methods to purchase and stockpile a large amount of necessary equipment and materials from overseas. It cannot be said that it is completely sufficient, but it will not go without a meal.

What surprised Wu Xinyi was that he didn't expect that Li Dongling had actually anticipated this matter. If Li Dongling hadn't reminded him, Doxin Semiconductor would probably be in a mess by now.

Daly was very satisfied with the reactions of the senior executives of Doxin Semiconductor. Any company that heard that it was being jointly targeted by the American Trade Commissioner, the American Foreign Affairs Committee, and even the American Department of Justice would probably have trouble sleeping.

As the only empire in the world today, even the Soviet Union has fallen under the hands of America. Any place targeted by the empire will probably have trouble sleeping and eating.

But when Daly turned his gaze towards Li Dongling, he saw Li Dongling sitting there with a calm face, just tapping the table lightly with his fingers, as if he didn't care at all about the news that Daly had revealed, which made Daly frown.

"Mr. Li, aren't you worried about the future of Doxin Semiconductor?" Daly couldn't help but ask Li Dongling.

Li Dongling chuckled and glanced at Daley. "No matter what, Dongxin still wants to thank Huaden for reminding me. Dongxin will remember it in mind!"

"The Wassenaar Arrangement is indeed not good news for inland companies. This is undeniable. In the future, it will be more difficult for China to obtain overseas technology and equipment!"

"But, the general trend of the world is unstoppable. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish!"

Li Dongling looked at Chen Liwu, Daley and other Walden people, "The future world is America, old Europe, Japan and other countries that need China's huge market of more than one billion users!
Companies from America and old Europe need employees who have the best basic education level in the world but whose salaries are competitive globally to work for them.

Places like America need to have the world's only complete set of light and heavy industrial systems, a place that can undertake industrial transfers from America and old Europe!

In the future, it is America, old Europe, and Japan that need the inland areas. It is not that they are giving food to the inland areas, but that they have no other choice but to go to the inland areas! "

Li Dongling's words made Chen Liwu, Daley, Lin Qingyang and others stunned. Li Dongling gave them a view that was completely different from the views of the mainstream media.

Now, whether it is domestic or overseas media, most voices are that China cannot do without overseas investment, and that overseas investment is providing food for the domestic economy. This is also the reason why many places in China provide foreign investment.

However, Li Dongling gave a view that was completely different from that of the mainstream media. That is, the country is short of money and equipment and needs investment from overseas companies.

But are those overseas companies really doing this just for charity, not making a single cent, just to do charity in China? !
Just think about it and you will know it is impossible. Look at the past, for the Indian market, how many companies rushed in even though they knew it was a trap. Don’t those giant companies know that India is a huge trap that is specifically designed to cut the leeks of those multinational companies? But there are still companies all over the world that continue to fall into the trap for the Indian market.

Why? It’s because of the huge population market of India. And now, the domestic market is one of the few huge untapped markets in the world. In a few years, when the domestic income increases, it will be a market that will make those giant companies fight to squeeze in!
