Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 228 Hu Yingxiang’s Birthday is Coming

Jiang Jinlong asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

Assistant Liu Qingfu said, "Boss Jiang, why don't you come out for a moment? I have something to tell you."

Jiang Jinlong nodded, whispered something to Xiao Xingzhong, and followed Liu Qingfu's assistant out.

As soon as Jiang Jinlong went out, he was stunned.

He actually saw Liu Qingfu standing not far away in the corridor, waving at him with a mysterious look on his face.

Then Liu Qingfu entered a door nearby.

It was a small meeting room.

Jiang Jinlong hurriedly followed him in, feeling somewhat puzzled as to what Liu Qingfu was up to.

It's like a meeting between two traitors.

But Liu Qingfu asked someone to call Jiang Jinlong out when negotiating with Ying Weida's people, which must mean that he had something important to say.

Liu Qingfu looked at Jiang Jinlong in an unfathomable way.

Jiang Jinlong said, "Boss Liu, what's the matter?"

Liu Qingfu smiled slightly: "Jinlong, how was your conversation with Ying Weida just now?"

Jiang Jinlong sighed, "Boss Liu, it's really not good. Ying Weida refuses to give in. Even if they lower the price, it's too little, a drop in the bucket. They look like they think they have us in their hands."

Liu Qingfu nodded: "I can imagine that. Well, let me make it short. I asked you out because I want to tell you something..."

At the same time, in the conference room, Lu Jingyuan and Taimi from Yingweida and Xiao Xingzhong from Keda Feixun were chatting intermittently.

However, Jiang Jinlong was out, and the two sides just exchanged a few polite words. After all, Jiang Jinlong was a technical expert, his opinion was very important, and his status was higher than that of Xiao Xingzhong, the boss of the purchasing department.

After a few words, both sides went back to their own business and talked about their own things.

This is not the first time for everyone to negotiate, and they are used to all kinds of emergencies. Since there is no way to talk now, just do what you need to do, take a break, and calm down for a while.

Lu Jingyuan whispered to Taimi.

"Taimi, what do you think Mr. Jiang is doing?"

Taimi said calmly, "Lu, is there any need to say this? His boss must have called him out. He might be plotting something."

Lu Jingyuan looked at Tami and had to say that this Barat man had a very good brain. At least his judgment was fine and very logical and reasonable.

Lu Jingyuan had the same idea.

Jiang Jinlong's sudden departure was definitely not for some insignificant matter.

The negotiations were at a critical moment. Just now, Jiang Jinlong was about to nod and agree. Obviously, people at a higher level were about to intervene.

"What do you think they are planning?"

Tammy thought for a moment and said, "I guess they still want to struggle a little more."

"What do you mean?"

"I want to lower the price further."

Lu Jingyuan nodded: "They must be dissatisfied with this price, but do we still have room to lower the price?"

Taimi laughed: "Of course not. If it drops any lower we will all be in dire straits."

Lu Jingyuan was speechless for a moment.

According to Lu Jingyuan's idea, Yingweida's price can be reduced by at least eight to ten percentage points.

Although Lu Jingyuan does not have this authority, Taimi does.

It is said that Taimi has the authority to reduce the price by 20%.

Taimi can even ask the headquarters to reduce the price even more, just to help him win back the big order from Keda Feixun.

Now it depends on whether Tammy is willing.

Lu Jingyuan advised in a low voice: "Taimi, I think we should make some concessions to encourage them to sign the order as soon as possible."

Taimi glanced at Lu Jingyuan with a disapproving expression: "Isn't the concession we made big enough?"

"This...is definitely not big enough."

"Dear Lu, I think you are still too conservative."

"…Me? Conservative?"

"Yes, look at this big park."

Then, Taimi pointed out the window and continued, "Such a large-scale park must have cost a lot of money. I never thought that HKUST Feixun would be so rich. What's the big deal about buying a batch of chips?"

Lu Jingyuan was speechless for a moment.

How can you compare them like this? They are two different things!

Hardware facilities such as office parks generally have official subsidies and preferential policies, and do not require a one-time investment from HKUST Feixun.

Eagle NVIDIA's GPU chips are different. The price of an order is not cheap, at least hundreds of thousands of yuan.

After Eagle Weida raised its prices, it became even more expensive, and the order price basically doubled.

Moreover, according to previous rules, large customers like Keda Feixun would place an order every two to three months.

In a year, that’s over one million yuan worth of orders, which is quite impressive.

No, now the annual order amount is likely to reach two million Dengta yuan.

The office park of Keda Feixun does look very impressive, and the company is indeed a leading technology company in China with strong scientific research capabilities, but it has not yet become a true giant enterprise in China, let alone going global.

Therefore, HKUST Feixun probably cannot afford the high price of GPU chips.

But since Taimi was so confident, Lu Jingyuan didn't know what to say. He hoped that he could get the order.

Taimi patted Lu Jingyuan on the shoulder and said, "Dear Lu, don't worry, leave it to me. We will definitely be able to bring the order back today."

Lu Jingyuan smiled and said nothing.

Taimi added, "Let's find a place to have a couple of drinks tonight. I'll treat you. By the way, Hezhong City looks pretty big. Are there any good nightclubs? I need to find some pretty ones."

Just as Lu Jingyuan was about to speak, the door to the conference room opened.

Jiang Jinlong is back.

Jiang Jinlong and Xiao Xingzhong exchanged glances and sat down.

Jiang Jinlong was about to speak when Taimi interrupted him: "If you have no objection, we hope to sign the order as soon as possible, is that ok?"

Jiang Jinlong waved his hand: "Mr. Taimi, there is a problem, a big problem."

Taimi and Lu Jingyuan were stunned.

Tammy asked, "What's the problem?"

Jiang Jinlong waved his hand: "We really can't accept your Yingweida's conditions."

"...Ah? You can't accept it?"

Taimi and Lu Jingyuan looked at each other, both with surprised expressions, obviously not mentally prepared for Jiang Jinlong's reaction.

Lu Jingyuan asked: "Mr. Jiang, is there anything your company cannot accept? Is it the price?"

Jiang Jinlong said calmly: "Of course it's the price."

Taimi regained his composure: "Mr. Jiang, this is the case. Our Yingweida products are so excellent that the price is not high, so we can't lower it any further."

Jiang Jinlong nodded: "Okay, let's stop here today."

“Ah?” “…What!?”

Not to mention Taimi and Lu Jingyuan, even Xiao Xingzhong was surprised.

Xiao Xingzhong asked in a low voice: "Boss Jiang, don't want to talk anymore?"

Jiang Jinlong said: "Yes, let's not talk about it anymore. It's meaningless."

"Ah? This..."

When Xiao Xingzhong saw Jiang Jinlong's expression, he felt that the other party was weird. He looked confident and seemed to not care about the negotiation.

Xiao Xingzhong immediately realized that Jiang Jinlong had obtained some key information after going out just now.

Taimi was a little anxious: "NONONO, Mr. Jiang, what do you mean? Don't you, Keda Feixun, need our excellent products from Yingweida?"

"Well, since we are already talking about this, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's talk about it later."

Jiang Jinlong stood up, put away the things on the table, and said to the person next to him, "See these two off. Mr. Xiao and I are leaving first."

Jiang Jinlong and Xiao Xingzhong quickly left the meeting room, leaving Taimi and Lu Jingyuan stunned on the spot.

"What's going on? Are you really not going to talk about it anymore? That's too rude!"

Tammy was full of confidence just now, but now he is at a loss and incoherent, as if he has lost his soul.

Lu Jingyuan sighed: "It seems that they really can't accept our price."

Tammy said, "Why don't we lower the price? Call them back!"

However, the people from HKUST Feixun remained unmoved and seemed to be waiting for the two to leave.

There was no choice, Lu Jingyuan had to pull Taimi out of the meeting room, then got in the car and drove out of the park.

When we arrived at the hotel, Tammy had not yet returned to normal and kept chattering.

"What's going on with HKUST's message? It's so rude!"

"They think our products are too expensive? Where can they buy alternatives?"

"KeDa FeiXun will definitely regret not keeping us and signing that damn order!"

Lu Jingyuan was speechless.

Tami, a Bharat man, looks very confident, but he seems to collapse when encountering something. His ability to withstand pressure and setbacks is too poor!
But it is really troublesome that the order from Keda Feixun was not signed. I don’t know how to explain it to my superiors when I go back.

After a while, Tammy finally recovered and was able to say something useful.

"Lu, do you think they really rejected us because of the price?"

Lu Jingyuan thought for a moment and replied, “That would be great if that’s the case. I think there may be other reasons.”

"…Another reason? What could it be?"

“They may have found a replacement.”

"What? A substitute!? A substitute for our excellent product from Eagle Weida?"

Lu Jingyuan said: "It is unlikely that they can completely replace the company, but at least they can replace the company in part. Otherwise, there is no way to explain their attitude."

"Oh my God! Unbelievable! I don't believe that HKUST Feixun can find any substitute, even a partial substitute is impossible!"

“But now it’s happening.”

Lu Jingyuan spread his hands and said, "Let's report this to the leaders and ask them to come up with a solution."

No matter how reluctant Tammy was, he had no choice but to do this. He wrote an email to explain the situation and sent it not only to the leaders of Eagle Weida's company in China, but also to the headquarters with a copy.

In the email, Tami also added some sentences, intentionally or unintentionally implying that it was Lu Jingyuan who was dragging his feet in the negotiations, and he had a helpless attitude.

This is also considered as a traditional art of the Bharat people.

At the same time, at Keda Feixun, Jiang Jinlong’s office.

Jiang Jinlong and Xiao Xingzhong were chatting animatedly.

Jiang Jinlong had just told Xiao Xingzhong about the matter. Xiao Xingzhong was stunned at first, then incredulous, and finally came to his senses with an ecstatic expression.

"Really? Mr. Jiang, Huayao can mass-produce the Ascend 910!?"

Jiang Jinlong nodded: "That's exactly what Director Liu told me."

Xiao Xingzhong couldn't help but stand up and walked back and forth a few steps, and seemed to calm down again: "That's not right, can Huayao really mass-produce this chip? Is it that fast?"

What Xiao Xingzhong actually wanted to ask was, does Huayao have the ability to mass-produce Ascend 910?
You have to know that this is a seven-nanometer chip.

At this time, seven-nanometer chips are already considered ultra-high-end processes.

For well-known reasons, Huayao's high-process chips theoretically cannot be mass-produced.

Even the most optimistic people in the industry, when talking about this, believe that it will take Huayao at least five years to solve the problem of mass production of high-process chips.

Moreover, the efforts of Huayao alone are not enough; it requires a massive mobilization of the entire chip industry chain in China.

At this time, Jiang Jinlong shook his head: "I don't know how Huayao did it, but think about it, Huayao also released a new flagship phone some time ago."

"P30."

"Yes, it's the P30. That chip is new!"

Xiao Xingzhong thought of this and said, "So, Huayao has found a way to mass-produce chips."

"Anyway, it's good news that we can buy the Ascendas 910!"

Xiao Xingzhong nodded. Although he was still a little excited, he seemed to be a little worried: "I'm afraid Huayao's words are not accurate. What if it takes a few months for mass production? We can't wait that long, right?"

Jiang Jinlong said: "I am worried too, so we have to urge Huayao to ship the goods as soon as possible."

Just last month, Keda Feixun signed a supply contract with Huayao and ordered a batch of Ascend 910.

There was no agreed delivery time with Huayao at that time, but now it’s different, Keda Feixun needs it urgently!
The next day, Hong Kong Island, Victoria Harbour.

Hu Jiangshan did not go out to sea today because he had nothing to do in the next two days and planned to go again in a few days.

In two days, the first commuter boat will be launched and Hu Jiangshan will go to inspect it.

In addition, tomorrow is Mr. Hu’s birthday, and Hu Jiangshan also needs to prepare some gifts.

Hu Ying is so good to Hu Jiangshan and loves him so much, she can't let the old man down.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon and Hu Jiangshan was hungry, so he wanted to go out and find a restaurant to eat, then walk around and do some calligraphy and painting or something.

Although Hu Yingxiang was born into a business family, he was quite fond of traditional culture. He could even write very well and was quite knowledgeable about calligraphy and painting.

In the past, Hu Jiangshan couldn’t afford to give away good calligraphy and paintings, and he was lucky enough not to be cheated. Now that Hu Jiangshan has a certain amount of financial resources, although he can’t get top-level calligraphy and paintings, average ones are not a problem.

There is no shortage of cultural relics in Hong Kong Island, especially calligraphy and painting galleries, which are numerous, but you need a good eye to pick out the genuine ones, after all, most of the items on the market are fakes.

But the problem is, Hu Jiangshan is the best scientist, but he doesn't know much about antique calligraphy and paintings.

Not to mention the previous Hu Jiangshan, who was totally clueless.

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to know anyone who was particularly knowledgeable about calligraphy and painting.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.

【Caller ID: Wang Qiuming】

It turned out that it was director Wang Qiu Ming who called.

A few days ago, Wang Qiumin took his team to see Jiangjun Island, and they were really attracted by it. It seemed that he wanted to have a deeper chat with Hu Jiangshan.
