Chapter 713 Chip Price Increase

Lao Zhang slowly walked towards the main subject. Although he was slow to walk, the old dragon clock, but everyone's eyes or attention in the conference room was focused on him. He was the backbone of Taiwan's electricity accumulation, and he was the “God" of Taiwan's electricity accumulation.

“The continent is about to rise, the continental chip industry is about to rise. We've discussed this topic a hundred times, and I don't want you to talk about it every time, except for arguments and guns, and come up with nothing useful.

As I said a long time ago, since the mainland chip wants to rise, it will inevitably try to do all kinds of things and use all kinds of means, I don't expect you to predict the movement of the mainland, prepare and respond in advance, at least, when you face the mainland, you should also see the maneuvers and brains! "

Zhang Lao did not rush to talk about the content of the meeting, but first educated a group of electricity accumulators.

Had it not been for Taiwan Electricity, these executives would not have been forced to leave the mountain after retirement!

84. Zhang Lao is already 84 years old. He is one of the few CEOs of the world's leading companies to retire at his age.

By Zhang Laochan's lesson, the executives of Taiwan Television were like students who had been reprimanded by teachers, or bowed their heads or acquiesced, which was both habit and oil and salt.

“Sigh!" Grannie Zhang sighed and was too lazy to talk to them again.

“Chelsea, you say it!" Zhang Laozhai, the first Taiwan backup electricity executive on his right hand, Wei Chelsea, who is the general manager and co-CEO of Taiwan backup electricity, is the second person of Taiwan backup electricity, and hopefully will take over the CEO of Taiwan backup electricity in the future.

The Wei Zhe family, a veritable hardliner, is hostile to the mainland. He has always advocated various means to curb the rise of the mainland in the field of chips.

"Since its inception, we have always advocated not to compete with our customers, which is one of the major advantages that distinguishes us from competitors like Samsung and Intel," he said.

Therefore, whether it is Apple, Qualcomm, or mainland Huawei Hess and other chip design companies, they are willing to hand over the chips to us for production.

For more than 30 years, we have reached a non-interference tacit agreement with these customers and have established a sufficient foundation for cooperation and trust!

But now, the chip defense alliance established by the mainland mobile phone manufacturers has crossed the red line that we both have always adhered to. If they are allowed to blackmail, they will assign all the substitution orders to China Core International for production. In a few years, China Core International's technical level will catch up with and catch up with our stacked electricity, and even our entire semiconductor industry chain on Baoshima will be replaced by the mainland and dismantled!

So this time, we can no longer be indifferent to the rise of competitors.

I believe that, in the current situation, we can adopt the following two strategies:

First, unite all the forces that can be united, whether it be other chip companies in Baoshima, powerful competitors of mainland mobile phone manufacturers such as Apple and Samsung, or Western anti-Chinese forces hostile to the rise of the continent. We should all unite them by rendering the threat of the rise of the mainland chip domain, and let them join us in the battle to curb the rise of the mainland chip.

Secondly, since the mainland manufacturers have crossed the red line, we do not have to abide by the subtle rules of not competing with customers on the mainland. We can support, proxy mobile phone manufacturers on the mainland, give priority to proxy manufacturers to provide chips, so that the mainland manufacturers joining this chip defense alliance, late use or no chips are available!

You can imagine the following. What would be the prosperity if, at the end of this year or the first half of next year, all the major global mobile phone manufacturers, flagship mobile phone chips were updated to the latest generation, and these mainland manufacturers alone did not?

This chip defense alliance will collapse in an instant! "

The two strategies proposed by Wei Zhe family are fierce and tough. Many of the participating station executives inhaled a cold breath. They really need to do what he said. If they do not give the mainland mobile phone manufacturer chips, they will be in a mess!

Looking at Zhang Lao sitting on the main seat, he did not speak. The executives of Taiwan Electric Power Station were also anxious. A moment later, the executives whispered:

“The continent's mobile brand accounts for more than 40% of the global market, and if we don't give it to them, it will seriously affect our revenue and R&D investment! And the mainland government."

“Hey!" Wei Zhe interrupted, explaining:

“It's not that they won't use it at all, it's just a drag on the delivery time so that Apple, Samsung, and other mobile brands can use the latest generation of mobile chips first. ”

“What about Qualcomm and Media? With the exception of Huawei Hayes, other mainland manufacturers are placing orders for Qualcomm and MediaTek. These two families place orders for us. Are they willing to cooperate with us in doing so?" asked another executive.

“Humph! They are the main targets of this chip defense alliance. How can they not cooperate with us! By then, you can use any excuse for insufficient production capacity or refurbishment of the factory to delay a lot of time and affect their new release schedule!"

“This is a little less generous, but it has to be considered carefully. ”

“Lady Jen, don't forget, they were the first to be unjust!"

“Which manufacturer do you support?"

“HTC, Asus, even Samsung, as long as it's against the mainland!"

“I'm afraid Samsung is not right. They are competitors with us. Besides, their chips are self-produced, and we can't help it!"

“When we delay the delivery of chips to mainland phone manufacturers, we are helping them!"

......

The long-prepared Wei Zhe family allayed the doubts of many executives, and with the discussion of many executives getting deeper, the countermeasure of Taiwan Electric Needle against mainland mobile phone manufacturers to form a chip defense alliance is also gradually being formed.

Zhang Lao did not say a word. Today, they have no choice but to stifle the rise of the mainland chip industry harder. Whether it is corporate interests or political positions, it is decided that they can only do this.

Two days later, Qualcomm's president, Derek Aboli, quietly visited. Aboli, in Zhang Lao's office, reiterated the two long-standing friendship and cooperation relationships, and formed a chip defense alliance against the mainland manufacturers. In order to influence the bargaining power of the chip industry, Qualcomm and Taiwan Power Station jointly entered and retreated, resolutely curbing the influence and behavior of the mainland mobile phone manufacturers' over-expansion customers' big cheating shops!

Five days later, less than 10 days after the announcement of the chip defense alliance of mainland mobile phone manufacturers, Taipei said that due to the rapid growth of the number of smartphones in the world this year, the supply of global chip industry, including Taipei, Samsung and other chip manufacturers, has the problem of insufficient production capacity. The delivery time of some customers' chip orders may be some time later than expected. Taipei will hurry to put into the plant and production line construction, and strive to ensure the global chip market supply.

Shortly after the announcement of Taichung Electricity, Qualcomm CEO Molenkov also said publicly that due to the tight global chip supply this year, the chip price may increase by a certain amount compared to previous years. Qualcomm is forced to raise the price of related products. As a mobile phone industry of downstream enterprises of chips, it will be forced to bear the pressure of single chip increase!
