Chapter 77 Revenge on the spot
The documentary "Zhiwei" did not specifically record the construction process of the Spark Factory, but only showed the internal structure of the factory and the status of the busy engineers.
Even the interview that I managed to put together with a few people seemed shoddy, and at best it just used clichés that everyone would say.
However, videos like this have a unique authenticity.
Just like you don’t know whether the plane parked on the tarmac is real, but the electromagnetic gun covered under the ancestral three-color tarpaulin must be real.
As soon as the video was posted, it shot to the top of the hot search list within a few minutes, and the article Huang Yan wrote with so much painstaking effort turned into a joke almost instantly.
"Hahahahahahaha, I'm laughing so hard. I've never seen anyone slapped in the face so fast. Once is not enough, you have to stretch out the other side of the face to be slapped."
"I really don't know what the old alarmist thinks. This is official... Can you just change the official name? Those who wanted to change back then were all physically defeated...
..”
"You're still here pretending to be a legitimate client. Shouldn't you be able to continue pretending now?"
"If you still talk about Hanxin No. 1, are the two comparable? This is too funny."
"Brother Meng, I have drawn up a list for you. The following accounts are all those who have forwarded old alarming articles before. Be careful to avoid lightning..."
Huang Yan gritted his teeth and read the comments. At this moment, he suddenly understood.
I don't want this country to get better at all.
What benefits does getting better do to you?
So, why do you need to be so hypocritical?
It's better to just be a generous villain!
He logged into his own account and vented his anger by posting a lot of unpleasant remarks, which even included a lot of slander of past history and characters. Only 20 minutes had passed, and the connection between his account and the old alarm report
Someone dug it out, and an hour later, the account was banned.
Huang Yan sighed. At this moment, he felt relieved.
From now on, Huang Yan, the editor of the old newspaper, will no longer be there, and he will want to do something bigger.
He had never actively contacted the contact information lying on his mobile phone before. This time, maybe it was time to give it a try.
Anyway, I have nothing to miss about this country.
However, before he could really make up his mind, there was a knock on his door.
"Who?"
Huang Yan asked doubtfully.
"Landlord, check the water meter."
The person outside the door replied.
...
When Huang Yan was facing a major turning point in his life and was about to sit on the regret chair, in the office of the president of Huaxin International, several people were happily chatting about the video that had just been released.
"Hey, I said, we went with so many people this time, why did we just pick Xiao Huang to be interviewed? Let me make it clear first, I'm not saying he can't go, the key is, Liu Shuang is not here
Is that there? What a good image she has! Why don’t you let her go?”
The speaker was Xu Zichao, the president of Huaxin International. His tone was mostly ridiculing. In fact, everyone present could tell that it was just a joke.
"Mr. Xu, if you saw Liu Shuang now, you wouldn't say that her image is good. To put it bluntly, after working hard there for more than a month, how many of her images are still good? I can
I heard that they are so busy that they don’t bother to take a shower for three days, and only those who want to enter the dust-free zone will make do with it, so what’s the point of talking about image?”
The CFO sitting opposite replied.
"So hard work? Are the bonuses ready?"
Xu Zichao asked with a slight frown.
He knew it was very difficult at the Xinghuo Factory, but he really didn't expect it to be to this extent.
"Isn't that hard work? The living facilities are not in place and it is a closed management. But luckily we got through it."
"Don't worry about the bonus. We hired a total of 412 employees this time. The bonus allocated at that time was 60 million. On average, one person can get more than 100,000."
"good."
Xu Zichao nodded, then suddenly asked:
"What about the distribution plan? Reward according to merit? Or what should I say?"
"Mr. Xu, this time I plan to divide the points evenly. Everyone who went there is not working hard, and if they make any differences, they are afraid of chilling people's hearts. If you really want a reward, wait until the production at the Xinghuo Factory is completely stable.
Well, we will allocate another amount of money to give out prizes."
"Hey, you are such a tough guy, why are you so generous all of a sudden?"
"You have to spend what you have to spend...Besides, didn't we just cancel the ASML purchasing plan, freeing up a large budget, and the bonus is just a drop in the bucket."
"...I know you, a tough cock, can't change your gender. Tell me, how much money can we save this time?"
Upon hearing this question, the CFO's face returned to seriousness and professionalism.
"According to the official plan just discussed with us, the quotation from the Spark Factory will probably be in the range of 250-300 million. Compared with the ASML quotation, we can save 1 billion per unit."
"The most important thing is that this time we don't have to pay in advance, and we are sure to get the goods. This has a huge positive impact on our cash flow, and the benefits are difficult to measure intuitively."
Huaxin International had submitted a purchase PO to ASML before, and had even paid a deposit of 120 million U.S. dollars, but suddenly, they said they would not sell it if they did not want to sell it.
The deposit was returned, but the funds were occupied for up to a year, which also brought them a lot of costs.
"In other words, based on our original plan, this time, we can save close to 4 billion? Half a year's profit?"
"About 4.5 billion, including the cost of capital occupation."
Xu Zichao let out a long sigh and said:
"It's such a big sum of money... But Lao Chen, do you think it's strange? Before, I thought the price of ASML was quite cheap. Now that I think about it, it's just a fucking profiteer. A photolithography machine
How much does the machine cost!”
"They really pinched our necks and bullied us because we didn't have any! I'm so angry when I think about it!"
CFO nodded in agreement and echoed:
"Who's not angry? I'm the most angry. You just feed the dog with your free money. Whether you can get the meat to eat depends on the dog's face. It doesn't matter to him or not!"
"But it's better now. We have what they have. Now we don't have to look at their faces. In a few years, they will have to look at our faces."
Xu Zichao remained silent. After a moment, he slammed the table and said with an unkind expression:
"No, I really can't swallow this! It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but I'm not a gentleman. I have to avenge this revenge today!"
"You immediately convene an emergency board of directors and invite officials to attend. We have to make a decision today!"
"Grandma, if you hold our necks and blackmail our money, then you won't be able to make money. We can't decide the price of the lithography machine, but we can lower the price of the wafer first. Then the wafer market will
If the price shock comes together, let’s see who will buy his ridiculously expensive photolithography machine!”
...
Six hours later, the emergency board meeting of Huaxin International ended. After intense financial actuarial calculations, full consideration of profitability, and with official approval, Huaxin International released another shocking news.
The company's original 14nm process chip prices have been reduced by 50%. At the same time, reservations for orders for chips below 7nm are open, with a reservation discount rate of 30%.
As soon as the news came out, Wanji Electric's stock price fell, plummeting all the way to -16% before barely stabilizing, and the entire island was panicked.
At the same time, engineers from the ASML company in Northern Europe who originally had doubts about the Spark Factory had a look of despair on their faces.
In the business war in the international market, you can question anything, but the price will never lie.
Dare to offer this price, which means they really have it.
The last company to do this was Hua Kee.
The 08 switch directly drove down the price of communication equipment monopolized by the West at that time to 10% of the original price, and even indirectly led to the bankruptcy of some very large Western communication equipment manufacturers, and hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs.
But now, Huaxin came out and fired the first shot.
How far will chip prices drop?
To what extent will the price of photolithography machines drop?
Chapter completed!
