Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 101 Hawke is angry, not good news

The sky is blue with white clouds and the sea is clear. From time to time, dolphins rush out of the sea to play, and there are even whales spraying water in the distance.

As long as you don't get too close to look at it, everything looks real.

There's even a sun lounger in Hawke's office.

At this time, Hawke was lying on it, drinking iced juice and reading a book.

This is one of Hawke's usual activities when he comes here in the morning.

After a while, Hawke fell asleep and began to snore.

The handsome male assistant John came in and said, "Mr. Hawke, there is a video conference in ten minutes."

Hawke opened his eyes and asked dazedly, "Video conference? With whom?"

"With Ms. Ge."

"Oh, I remember now. Okay, get me a cup of coffee. I need to wake up."

Hawke got down from the sun lounger.

The so-called Ms. Ge is Ge Jing, the president of the fruit company in China.

Hawke plans to have a video call with Ge Jing today.

Because there have been so many changes in China recently, as the head of the fruit company, he needs to communicate with them at any time.

Provide guidance, make decisions, and of course understand the situation.

A moment later, Hawke was connected to Ge Jing and could see each other's situation through the screen.

Ge Jing was in the Magic City of China on the other side of the ocean, and it was already night.

Ge Jing was video chatting with Hawke in her large living room, with a high-end wine cabinet behind her, which was very stylish.

Hawke said, "Ge, you seem to be in a good mood."

Ge Jing did smile: "Thank you, Mr. Hawke."

Of course Ge Jing was in a good mood. Sitting opposite the screen was the big boss of the fruit company, the legendary Hawke.

It was an honor to have a direct video call with Hawke.

In addition, although the fruit company has encountered some troubles recently, it should be resolved soon. Ge Jing can finally put his mind at ease.

Hawke said, "Ge, what is the current situation in the Chinese region?"

Ge Jing began to introduce, and then concluded: "Now that Huayao is releasing a large number of goods, our sales during this period have indeed been affected to a certain extent, but this impact is controllable and has not dropped too much. Moreover, I feel that Huayao cannot continue to ship large quantities. It should just be holding on now."

"Yes, that's right. I agree with you. Huayao's chips cannot be supplied in unlimited quantities. The chip inventory should have bottomed out."

"Yes, Mr. Cook, we have developed a detailed marketing plan. Now there are a few points I can discuss with you, is that okay?"

Hawke said cheerfully, "Okay, no problem. Just keep it simple. I'm afraid I'll disturb your rest."

Ge Jing responded. In fact, he knew that Mr. Hawke didn't like meetings to last too long, so he specially prepared a simplified version.

Ge Jing was very helpful and finished the speech in less than ten minutes.

Hawke nodded. "Very good. I like these plans very much. Ge, just follow them. You should get good sales results."

"Thank you Mr. Hawke, we will definitely work hard."

"Very good, GOD BLESS YOU!"

Ge Jing still had some concerns and said, "But I heard a rumor that Huayao has found a new chip foundry."

Hawke smiled slightly and said, "That's impossible. Our technical intelligence team has already done research and concluded that Huayao's Kirin chip will not appear in at least eight years."

Ge Jing's eyes widened. She didn't expect Hawke to be so optimistic. However, the fruit company's technical intelligence team was very powerful. They were all experts in the industry, and they even had the cooperation of the official department of Eagle Power.

The judgments made by these people should be more reliable.

Hawke smiled and said: "You may not know that we have just received 20 Huayao flagship phones and have sent them to the national laboratory for identification. This will basically determine the source of the chips. If it is confirmed that Huayao uses inventory chips, then we can rest assured."

Ge Jing immediately asked: "Mr. Hawke, are the results of the appraisal out?"

Hawke checked the time and said, "Not yet, but I'll be notified when the results come out, and I'll email you then."

"Okay, thank you so much, you are really nice, Mr. Hawke."

"It's okay, Ge. I hope you have good luck in China and that all the rich people in China can use our iPhones as soon as possible."

"Mr. Hawke, I believe this day is not far away."

Just then, Hawke's cell phone on the table rang.

【Caller ID: Jenny】

Hawke smiled slightly when he saw the caller ID.

It was Jenny Jonathan, director of the national laboratory, who called.

The fruit company has a long-term cooperative relationship with the national laboratory. Hawke and his supervisor Jenny have a good personal relationship and they often go shopping and drink tea together.

This time, it was Jenny who told Hawke that twenty Huayao mobile phones were delivered to the national laboratory.

When the identification results of the mobile phone chip come out, Jenny will take the initiative to tell Hawke so that he can know it first.

Hawke smiled and said, “The identification results of Huayao’s mobile phone chip have appeared.”

Hawke said as he pressed the answer button.

Ge Jing almost stuck to the screen, wanting to hear more clearly.

The inventory of Huayao mobile phone chips has always been a mystery. Although it was previously roughly estimated that there were about three million Kirin 990 chips in stock, they have not yet been completely consumed.

In addition, there are rumors that Huayao has found a new chip foundry to cooperate in the production of Kirin chips, and has recently shipped several batches of chips there.

The story was described vividly, and there were even photos of trucks entering and leaving Huayao Southern Factory on the Internet.

Although most people in the industry, including consulting experts from the fruit company, believed that Huayao would not be able to find a new OEM factory.

In fact, no technologically advanced wafer company on Blue Star dares to cooperate with Huayao, including China’s own companies.

Because once you are discovered, you will face a palm strike from the sky, which will be a terrible disaster.

However, the sales momentum of Huayao's flagship mobile phones is so strong now that there seems to be no problem with chip supply, at least on the surface.

This made Ge Jing feel uneasy, and she didn't know how long Huayao's chips could last.

If it is confirmed that Huayao's flagship mobile phones are all using stock chips, then the threat level will be reduced and Ge Jing can relax and at ease again.

Hawke exchanged a few pleasantries with Jenny, then got down to business.

“Jenny, what’s the situation with Huayao’s chip? Have the identification results come out?”

I don’t know what Jenny said, but Hawke’s face changed, he froze, and even became a little angry.

"W-what!? Jenny, is this true? Is this the final outcome!?"

"Why? If it wasn't TSMC that made the chip, then whose would it be? The damn Sansang? Or Intel? None of them can do it!"

"...Okay, Jenny, thank you for telling me this news. I hope you can come to further conclusions. We need to know who is helping Huayao."

Ge Jing could tell that what Hawke heard was definitely not good news.
