From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 233 Is Xiaxin International Crazy?
Xiaxin International, conference room!

Ye Fei was also sitting in today's conference room.

There is a cooperative relationship between Xiaxin International and Yefei Science Research Institute, after the chip is developed.

Xiaxin International accounted for [-]% of the interest, and Ye Fei Science Research Institute accounted for [-]% of the interest.

Moreover, Xiaxin International is responsible for all the manufacturing, operation, sales, and publicity of the chip in the later stage.

But the Ye Fei Academy of Sciences only cares about money and research and development.

Ye Fei Science Research Institute is 100% owned by Ye Fei himself.

Therefore, all the money earned by Ye Fei Science Research Institute, except the cost, is all obtained by Ye Fei.

This is equivalent to saying that Ye Fei gets [-]% of the profit in the chip.

Qu Guangfu sat in the front seat, and Ye Fei sat in the front seat on his right.

Qu Guangfu said in high spirits: "Our chip has been developed, and you have seen its performance. It can be said that it is the best chip in the world, bar none."

All directors had smiles on their faces.

They bet right, and then their value will start to skyrocket!

Qu Guangfu said: "That's what I think. For the time being, let's not publicize the successful development of the chip."

Everyone looked at Qu Guangfu in surprise.

If the successful development of the chip is not announced.

Then, the company's stock will continue to fall.

Qu Guangfu said, "Listen to me."

"First, 90% of our company's stocks in the past were in the stock market and were bought by retail investors."

"In the coming time, the company will invest a lot of financial resources in chip manufacturing and lay out the global chip industry."

"So, taking advantage of the low stock price, the company wants to get most of the shares back."

"If it is announced that the development of the chip is successful, the company's stock will definitely rise rapidly."

"So, we are buying a large number of stocks now, and wait until the chip is successfully developed and the stock value rises, and then flow the stock into the stock market, so that we can get a lot of cash flow."

The logic is simple, buy low and sell high.

Earn the price difference and let the company get more cash flow.

"Second, the company will acquire a large number of parts manufacturing plants next to manufacture lithography machines."

"If we announce the successful development of the chip at this time, and we acquire parts manufacturing plants, those parts manufacturing plants will definitely pay a premium."

"Third, the patents that the company has rented from many companies around the world in the past will no longer be rented by then."

"If it is announced that the development of the chip is successful, they will definitely start with the contract and let us continue to rent. It is a waste of money."

"Fourth, the company must deploy the chip industry globally, such as acquiring buildings, buying factories, and so on."

"If it is announced that the chip has been successfully developed, countries will definitely stop us."

"So, we have to prepare for the global chip industry in the future before they react."

"This is my idea."

Everyone nodded slightly, that's why!
If so, indeed, announcing the successful development of the chip will do more harm than good.

Although it can let the people of the country know that Xia Guo has the best chips in the world, which can boost the confidence of the people.

However, the later layout of the global chip industry and chip manufacturing will bring a lot of obstacles.

Seeing Ye Fei, Qu Guangfu smiled and said, "Academician Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Fei said: "I don't care, everything is according to your arrangement, Director Qu."

"En!" Qu Guangfu nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your understanding."

Qu Guangfu looked at the directors and said, "Next, the company's arrangement is as follows."

"First, buy stocks!"

"Second, borrow 1000 billion from the bank for the layout of chip manufacturing."

"I will discuss this with the above, and try to get a low interest rate."

For large listed companies like Xia Guo International, the loan interest rate is between 4.35% and 5.15%.

However, Xiaxin International wants to develop chips.

If you negotiate with the state, the loan interest rate will be lower.

It is even possible that part of the loan will be interest-free.

"Third, as long as the bank's money comes down, it will purchase a large number of parts manufacturing plants around the world, and strive to manufacture a large number of lithography machines in a short time."

"Fourth, buy land and buildings around the world, and expand the scale of branches. All important cities in the world must have our branches."

"To attract global talents, each branch employs at least 1 people."

In the past, Xiaxin International also had branches in all important cities around the world.

However, at that time, Xiaxin International did not think about making waves in the international chip market.

Therefore, the branches are not large, and each branch may have only a few hundred or even dozens of employees.

"Fifth, the legal department sorts out every item of the contract, and when some patents expire, they will be broken."

"Especially EDA software, we don't need it anymore."

Ye Fei's team developed the supporting EDA software based on the developed lithography machine.

"The EDA software we rented from Kaideng Electronics is about to expire!"

Kaideng Electronics is a software company specializing in EDA and the world's largest provider of EDA, semiconductor technology solutions and design services.

Headquartered in San Jose, California.

Among all the patents leased by Xiaxin International, EDA software pays the highest patent fee every year, reaching 5000 million US dollars.

A lithography machine rents a set of EDA software, and the price of renting a set of EDA software is 100 million US dollars a year.

Xiaxin International has 750 lithography machines.

Then, just renting EDA software will cost 5000 million U.S. dollars every year.

Xiaxin International's annual turnover is only 90 billion US dollars.

This is equivalent to one-twelfth of the turnover being used to rent EDA software.

However, in the past they did not have EDA software, and had to rent the EDA software patent of Kaideng Electronics.

Someone said: "Yes, it will expire soon."

"Yes!" Qu Guangfu said, "We already have EDA software, so we won't use theirs anymore."

"Besides, their EDA software is not suitable for our newly developed lithography machine."

"Isn't it a waste of money to rent their EDA software again!"

Everyone nodded, that's the reason.

After the meeting!
Ye Fei and Qu Guangfu returned to Qu Guangfu's office.

After the two sat down, Qu Guangfu asked his assistant to bring them tea.

Qu Guangfu said, "Academician Ye, are you going to leave in a few days?"

"En!" Ye Fei nodded, "Yes."

Qu Guangfu said very sincerely: "I think you should not leave, stay with me, I will give you a director position, and you will be in charge of the research base!"

Ye Fei shook his head and smiled, "Director Qu, I have many other things to do!"

"Really not waiting?" Qu Guangfu said very reluctantly.

"No!" Ye Fei shook his head.

"Okay then!" Qu Guangfu said, "Being my company's technical consultant and part-time vice president, it's okay!"

Ye Fei thought for a while and then nodded, "That's fine."

Ye Fei has already worked as a technical consultant in several companies.

Both the technical consultant and the vice president are temporary, and their work is very leisurely.

I can't do many things in a year.

It is equivalent to the company spending a lot of money to support idlers, only when they encounter certain difficulties, they will find them.

The next day, Ye Fei drove back to Jinling.

After returning to Jinling, he first got to know the Yuan Blockchain Research Institute and the Academy of Sciences.

Fan Zedao: "The business of Yuan Blockchain Research Institute has extended to 70% of the countries in the world."

"95% of the countries that cooperate with our institute have joined the International Web3.0 Alliance."

Ye Fei asked, "Have Beili and Canada joined?"

"No!" Fan Ze shook his head and said with a sneer, "These two countries are really stubborn, haven't they seen the reality clearly?"

Ye Fei said: "They see it clearly, but they are just not reconciled!"

Afterwards, Ye Fei learned about the Academy of Sciences.

The first phase of the building has been built and the decoration has been completed.

It's just because Ye Feiren has been in Shanghai, so the building is vacant.

Ye Fei ordered the personnel director of Yuan Blockchain Research Institute, saying: "Help me recruit people into the scientific research institute."

"Okay, Dean!"

Magic City, Xiaxin International!
Small conference room!

At this moment, people from Xiaxin International's business department and legal department are preparing to negotiate with Kaideng Electronics to end the renewal of the EDA software contract.

Everyone sat around a long table, and in front of them was a 98-inch LCD screen.

At this moment, the monitor shows a group of white people sitting around a conference table.

They looked at Xia Xin International and the others with very proud expressions.

They know that the market is on their side, and Xiaxin International has to rent their EDA software patents.

One of the white men said arrogantly: "Li, this time our patent fee will be increased."

"In the past five years, the patent fee was US$100 million a year, and this year it will increase to US$110 million."

Don't look at just raising $[-].

Xiaxin International has 750 lithography machines, and if the increase is US$500, Xiaxin International will have to pay an additional US$[-] million in patent fees.

The director of the business department said with a blank face: "Sorry, Mr. George, now I formally inform your company that after the expiration of the EDA software patent lease contract between Xiaxin International and you, I will no longer lease your patents."

The people from Kaideng Electronics were stunned when they heard the director's words.

Then, George said in disbelief: "Li, what you said is true? Do your words represent Xiaxin International?"

"Of course!" said the director, "This is the result of discussion by our company's board of directors."

George said in shock: "Are you Xiaxin International crazy?"

"If you don't rent our patents, how does your lithography machine work?"

"Are you renting EDA software patents from other companies?"

"Li, our company's EDA software is the best EDA software in the world."

"Your company uses other companies' EDA software, can you make good chips?"

The director said: "You don't need to take care of this. This is an internal matter of our company. I have nothing to say."

George sneered: "Has your company been driven crazy by ASML?"

"Your company does not use our company's EDA software, but uses other companies' EDA software."

"Let's see what good chips you can make."

"Now your company's situation is very pessimistic. I heard that the stock has fallen to 30 yuan per share."

"If you can't make good chips anymore, I think the stock will fall to 20 yuan per share."

Before Xiaxin International's stock fell, the stock price was 63 yuan per share, and its market value had shrunk by a little more than half.

The director said coldly: "Mr. George, I can sue you for defaming the reputation of my company for your words and deeds."

George said: "You just wait for me. If you want to rent our EDA software patent in the future, I will raise the price severely."

After speaking, the offline sign is displayed on the display.

Turns out the Kayden guy was rude and turned off their video call.

Seeing the offline sign, the director laughed loudly and said, "It's cool, it's really cool, seeing these old devils getting angry from embarrassment, I feel very cool, haha..."

In the past, they were like grandchildren in front of Kaideng Electronics.

But from now on, they no longer need to be grandchildren in front of them.

Someone laughed and said, "Director, what you said just now wasn't harsh enough. If you ask me, we should say some harsh words to drive them to death."

"Yes!" Another person said: "Director, how much we have suffered in front of them in the past, we should anger them and avenge our humiliation in the past."

"Forget it!" The director shook his head: "It doesn't make sense."

"Besides, as long as they know later that we developed the chip, plus we don't use their EDA software."

"They must know that we also developed EDA software."

"At that time, they will still vomit blood in anger."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed and said, "Yes!"

Beiliguo, Kaideng Electronics, in the meeting room!
George said angrily: "The idiots of Xiaxin International, the situation of being forced by ASML is already so bad, and now they still refuse to use our EDA software."

"A bunch of idiots, retarded, trash!"

Kaideng Electronics just saw that the situation of Xiaxin International was not optimistic.

Therefore, the lease fee for EDA software patents leased to Xiaxin International will be increased by US$[-].

Originally they thought they would make a lot of money, but they didn't expect that Xiaxin International would not rent their patents.

The plan fell through, much to George's annoyance.

A middle-aged white man frowned suspiciously and said, "Why don't they rent our EDA software?"

"Based on the current situation of Xiaxin International, using other companies' EDA software cannot produce good chips, and the situation will be even more pessimistic."

"What they did was equivalent to committing suicide. They shouldn't have done such a stupid thing!"

"Moreover, this behavior was actually discussed by Xiaxin International's board of directors. What are Xiaxin International's people thinking?"

George gritted his teeth and said, "Who knows what those idiots at Xiaxin International are thinking."

"Hmph..." George snorted coldly: "When they see that using other companies' EDA software is not enough, they will come to us obediently."

"At that time, I'm going to raise the price to $130 million."
