Ye Zheming and Zhu Chen arrived very quickly and arrived in Leizhou that same day.

Qin Jian, Dong Jing, Ye Mingzhe, and Zhu Chen gathered to discuss how to deal with the price increase of Intel.

Qin Jian asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of Intel's price increase this time?"

Ye Mingzhe analyzed: "The cooperation between us and Intel has always been very pleasant. I think there are two main reasons for this sudden price increase. First, Intel’s business has declined, especially in AM. After the release of several high-performance CPUs, Intel’s market share in the consumer market has continued to decline, and its stock price has also continued to fall. They want to increase the company’s performance by raising prices for us.

Second, it is the price cut of our products this time. Our demand for production capacity makes Intel want to take the opportunity to blackmail a sum. The price increase of 30 US dollars is just within a tolerable range for our products. If we cannot Finding a new chip supplier can only accept their price increase, unless we are willing to give up the huge market brought about by this price reduction, otherwise we have to accept their price increase, and instead of looking for a new supplier, accept their price The price increase will be lower in terms of cost."

Zhu Chen nodded both: "Mingzhe is right, but I think Intel still has a huge advantage, that is, only Intel can meet our requirements for chips at present, although AM, high copper and other chip companies also have technical strength. Supply to us, but they still can’t compare with Intel in the industry chain, especially in the 22nm field, and only Intel’s chips are the best-selling."

Dong Jing said at this time: "I cannot accept Intel’s price increase this time. Although we have a high demand for production capacity, I think we must reopen a chip supply chain. We cannot rely on other companies. Otherwise, If you change the supplier, it is difficult to guarantee that the new supplier will not play tricks."

Ye Mingzhe nodded and said: "I think so too. I was thinking about the supply of core chips before, but because of the continuous increase in market demand, I didn't care about it for a while. Now that this kind of thing happened, I have a responsibility. ."

Qin Jian said at this time: “It’s not about responsibility now. It can be said that Intel’s price increase this time will inevitably occur. Even if we find multiple suppliers, the same problem will inevitably arise. After all, our demand is very high. , They only need to increase the price a little bit and profits can skyrocket. Looking at the current price increase of Intel, 30 US dollars is really a big appetite. So I think we must conduct independent production of chips, not just chips. Designing by yourself means that the construction of the production plant must also start, so that such things must not happen again."

Ye Mingzhe nodded: "I agree with this point, but I am afraid it is not easy to design a chip independently, and the construction of a new chip factory will definitely not be completed overnight. In this process, what will our market do?"

Qin Jian said at this time: "We are developing too fast, and many places have not been perfected, especially the supply chain. I thought the supply chain was very perfect before, but at this time, thinking about it carefully, there are still many loopholes. So I think it might as well take advantage of this incident to reorganize the supply chain."

Ye Mingzhe nodded: "You are right. The supply chain area needs to be sorted out and bad suppliers are kicked out. But what should we do now, is it really necessary to sell in limited quantities?"

Qin Jian said in a deep voice: "I think so. First of all, the chip must be replaced. I will design the new chip with a 22-nanometer process. This process can be produced by most domestic chip manufacturers. We can directly You don’t have to go through the Internet to place orders with these chip makers."

Ye Mingzhe looked at Qin Jian with some doubts at this time: "Do you design chips?"

Qin Jian nodded and said, "That's right."

Ye Mingzhe didn’t believe it. This chip was designed by design. At this time, Zhu Chen said: "Mingzhe, you may not know, Qin Jian designed a server chip with a brand-new architecture before it was released in my house. You can rest assured about the design."

Ye Mingzhe took a surprised look at Zhu Chen. When did he help Qin Jianliu's film? The next moment he thought about it. I heard that Qin Jian commissioned Zhu Chen's family to produce 10 million servers. It should be at that time, but the chip is He didn't expect Qin Jian to design it himself.

He was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to be able to design chips?"

Qin Jian smiled modestly: "I also know a little about chip design. At present, I can only design chips with 22-nanometer technology, which is far behind other chip designers."

When Zhu Chen heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he secretly said, if you understand a little, no one really understands it. The new architecture of the chip cannot be designed by ordinary people.

Ye Mingzhe still had a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he calmed down, "If this is the case, then the chip problem will be solved by more than half, and the 22-nanometer chip can still increase the output in a short time. There is no problem with the chip design. Zhu Chen and I can go to major foundries."

Qin Jian said: "There is absolutely no problem with chip design. You can rest assured about this. Do you estimate how long it will take to open up the supply chain of chips?"

Ye Mingzhe and Zhu Chen looked at each other, and then Zhu Chen said, "At most two months."

Qin Jian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you the information about the chip when I look back."

Ye Mingzhe and Zhu Chen were a little surprised. Qin Jian meant that the chip had been designed.

Qin Jian saw their doubts and said: "I actually wanted to replace the chip a long time ago, so I took the time to design one, but I was too busy recently and I didn't care about it."

The two were relieved that Qin Jian was really busy recently, with no one taking out and traveling in heavy armor.

Ye Mingzhe said: "Then we rejected Intel?"

Qin Jian shook his head and said in a low voice: "No, we will not only refuse to refuse, but we will also increase the purchase volume, triple it, and place an order for 3 billion units."

Hearing Qin Jian's words, all three people present showed doubts.

Dong Jing asked: "Boss, what do you mean?"

The other two also looked over.

Qin Jian sternly said: "Inte’s price increase this time has had a great impact on our sales. How can we easily let him go? We must teach him a lesson and give other suppliers a lesson. Wake up, we are not soft persimmons, we can let them handle it casually."

At this time, Ye Mingzhe said with some uncertainty: "You mean don't let them throw the chip in their hands after placing the order?"

Qin Jian nodded, "That's right."

Ye Mingzhe nodded and said, "Okay, this is a good way for you. If 3 billion chips fall in your hands, it will definitely be a painful lesson for Intel, but will they be fooled?"

Qin Jian smiled and said: "If it were normal, they would definitely not be fooled, but now they have been dazzled by greed, they will definitely be fooled, but it is a pity that they have received a deposit.

At this time Zhu Chen said: "If you do this, He Xiaguang will be cut off, can Wang Shunhe agree?"

Qin Jian also looked at Ye Mingzhe.

Ye Mingzhe nodded and said, "I'll talk about this. There should be no problem. Just turn around and rebuild a company for his son."

At this moment Dong Jing said with some confusion: "What are you talking about, why can't I understand?"

Ye Mingzhe laughed and said: "Let me explain to you. Qin Jian's meaning is very simple. It is to place an order for 3 billion chips from Intel. After Intel produces it, we don't want it. These chips are in their hands. They want to reprocess the 3 billion chips, and they will have to sell them for many years in the consumer market."

Dong Jing asked in confusion: "If we don't want it, can they be willing?"

Ye Mingzhe said: "It's very simple. My relatives are responsible for purchasing the chips. I will cut with this company when I look back. I will definitely not have any legal implications. Then I file for bankruptcy. What can he do? Method?"

Dong Jing was taken aback for a moment and said, "So simple?"

Ye Mingzhe nodded and said: "It's that simple. This kind of thing is too common in the business world. I don't know how many companies have fallen into this trick. However, many companies are not really trying to cheat people, they are really unable to operate. , We are just doing it artificially."

Dong Jing immediately said again: "In this case, don't those companies that give Intel OEMs also follow bad luck?"

Ye Mingzhe nodded and said: "What you said is correct, but what does this have to do with us? Most of the factories that Intel OEMs are American and European companies. There are very few domestic factories, such as chips. Unlike others, it belongs to high-end manufacturing, and these products are rarely handed over to us for production."

Ye Mingzhe couldn't help sighing when he said that, although Kyushu's manufacturing industry is said to be the number one in the world, it still cannot compare with foreign companies in high-end manufacturing.

Zhu Chen added at this time: "Those factories that follow bad luck will be in a state of crisis. If Intel turns against them, they will be even more sad. At this time, we can give them orders to help them tide over the difficulties, and we can get through. Cooperating with foreign chip foundries, after all, domestic factory capacity cannot meet our needs."

Dong Jing felt a cold sweat coming out of her back at this time. She was still too young. The boss and the others were so cruel. It not only taught Intel, but also opened up the foreign supply chain. It really kills two birds with one stone.

At this time she thought of another question and hurriedly asked: "After we do this, those factories will definitely know that we are deliberately cheating Intel. Do they still dare to take our orders? Are we afraid that we will cheat them?"

Qin Jian smiled at this time: "It's a simple answer. As long as they sign the contract in the name of Yanzhou Volcano or the Vientiane Group, they will not be afraid."

Dong Jing nodded and said, "I see, neither Yanzhou Volcano nor Vientiane Group can declare bankruptcy just to pit them."

Qin Jian nodded and said: "Yes!"
