Chapter 168 Technical confrontation, the American version of the Semiconductor Chip Alliance
  "President, this is the sales report you want. Please take a look."

Longxing Technology Company Headquarters.

CEO's office.

Yao Nana put the printed sales report on her desk, then stood aside, waiting for the next instruction.

Chen Xing picked up the report and did not rush to check it. Instead, he looked at Yao Nana and said: "If the work is done, then go back to get off work and rest. It has been a hard time."

"Everything should be done."

As soon as Yao Nana finished speaking, she added: "By the way, CEO, I have already sent the performance list to your email."

"I know, I'll look at it later."

Chen Xing responded calmly.

He allocates performance quotas to the managers in charge of each department, and he plans to reward each person who is selected with a reward of [-] yuan.

Calculated based on current salary levels, a performance bonus of [-] yuan is equivalent to two months' salary.

Of course.

In addition to performance awards, there are also year-end bonuses.

This is not over yet. In addition to performance awards and year-end bonuses, Chen Xing also plans to hold a lottery at the annual meeting and use [-] million to encourage scientific researchers and employees.

However, he does not draw blindly. For larger awards, candidates will definitely be selected by default, and the focus will be on scientific researchers who have made greater contributions, such as Gao Zhengqian, Lin Tian, ​​Yang Bochao, Gu Ren, etc., which are secondary bonus incentives.

Seeing that Chen Xing already knew, Yao Nana did not stay. Tomorrow is the weekend and she can finally rest for two days.

During this period of time, I have been working overtime day and night to market mobile phones, and it is true that I am losing some hair.

After Yao Nana left, Chen Xing opened the sales report and looked at it carefully.

For one million units of Longxing X2, the platform still does not charge a listing fee and provides a subsidy of 500 yuan. The bare metal profit is 2 yuan, which is equivalent to selling 5 million yuan of Longxing X[-] alone.

Next is the insurance project, three-year and five-year all-machine insurance, one million mobile phones are basically covered by insurance, and the revenue here is 1.3 million.

There are 1 units of the Brilliant X1 mobile phone, [-] units of the regular version, [-] units of the high-end version, and [-] units of the top-end version. The net profit of the three configurations of the Brilliant X[-] is:
  Regular version, 820 yuan.

High-end version, 1100 yuan.

Top version, 1400 yuan.

Therefore, the three configurations earned 1640 million, 2200 million, and 1400 million respectively, for a total of 5420 million.

In addition to net profit from bare metal, there is also income from full machine insurance.

Because the Bright X1 is expensive, it only sells one-year and three-year full machine insurance, and the prices are 300 yuan and 500 yuan.

With 1 units of the brilliant X500, users also have full mobile phone insurance, and the majority are in the high-end range priced at [-] yuan.

As for the total insurance income of 2100 million, insurance sales are basically equivalent to net profits, which is almost half of bare metal profits.

The Geek X1 also has 1 units of the regular version, 4500 units of the high-end version, and [-] units of the top-of-the-line version. The net profit generated is not as good as that of the brilliant X[-], but it also has [-] million in insurance.

It is not difficult to see from the data report that the Longxing series is still the main blood supply, followed by the brilliant series and the geek series.

The main reason why the Longxing series has the largest profit is because of the increase in insurance and overall machine profits.

Most parts of the current Longxing X2 mobile phone are supplied by small domestic factories and self-developed, and there are no particularly expensive parts.

However, for the high-end phone Brilliance X1, most of its parts are purchased globally, and the price is very expensive.

Expensive parts mean that the overall supply chain is expensive, which drives up costs in other links, so its net profit is not high, and most importantly, the supply of parts is too slow.

Just talking about Carl Zeiss lens modules, from ordering to delivery, it takes a week or even half a month of transportation. How can this compare to the Longxing X2, which has local advantages?

The most important thing is that the investment in the Cuican X1 is also high, and the high cost means high investment. The bare metal sales of these 1 units of the Cuican X3.7 reached [-] million.

Subtract the bare metal profit from 3.7 million, and then multiply it by 70%. In other words, Chen Xing needs to invest nearly 2 million before he can produce 1 units of the brilliant X[-]. Without a huge capital chain, this is impossible.

Fortunately, everything is developing in a good direction. The sales of the three mobile phones are 19.9 billion, 3.7 million and 2 million respectively, totaling 25.6 billion. Including insurance sales, the full calculation is close to 27.5 billion.

As for the 25.6 billion of the bare metal, as well as the principal invested by Longxing Technology Company, Chen Xing also calculated it just now. The balance that needs to be paid in each link is as high as 11 billion, which is equivalent to only 14.6 billion belonging to Longxing Technology Company itself.

However, adding 14.6 billion to insurance profits, it can be calculated that the current book capital of Longxing Technology Company is 16.5 billion, which is enough to show that the company is growing steadily.

It was on the verge of bankruptcy in 2014, and less than a month has passed since 2015. The company has a book capital of 16.5 billion, and the most important thing is that it does not need to pay corporate income tax. What kind of terrifying rise is this?

Chen Xing entered all the data into the computer and put it in his own encrypted folder.

After finishing all this, he leaned back in his chair and murmured: "16.5 billion was taken out of the 5000 million annual lottery draw, and there is still 16 billion left, which is more than enough to keep the company running."

……

While Chen Xing was calculating the company's accounts and planning the company's subsequent development, on the other side of the ocean, at a tarmac in New York, private aviation planes were arriving at the airport one after another.

In a conference room on Wall Street, people also kept coming in. They looked humble, nodded and bowed, showing their subordinate posture.

"Miss Maria, seeing you is like seeing an angel. Your skin is as white and tender as a baby's."

"Good morning, oh no, it's almost noon, good noon, my dear Miss Maria, nice to see you."

"I must not be late. Oh, it's Miss Maria. I forgot to prepare a gift. Please forgive my carelessness."

"Everyone is here, hey! Haven't Pocket and Mollenkopf arrived yet? But it is true that they flew here from California and it will take a little longer."

Everyone who entered the conference room, regardless of gender or age, showed a flattering attitude and face.

If there were a global live camera recording the footage at this time, countless people would be shocked.

Because these sycophantic, humble-looking men and women are not third-rate figures, they are all CEOs of companies with a market capitalization of tens or hundreds of billions of dollars, and they are also giants whose names can be found on the Forbes list.

And without exception, they were all "licking" the young woman sitting in the main seat.

The young woman is none other than Maria, the third-in-command of the Baile Group. Although she is young, she looks in her twenties, and her skin is as fair and tender as an eighteen-year-old girl. In fact, she is already forty years old this year. Damn It is only through technological beauty that we can maintain our current appearance.

Maria flipped up her golden hair and said in a charming manner: "Everyone, please sit down. According to the flight time, it should be here soon."

"Okay Miss Maria."

The CEOs and presidents took their seats one after another, waiting for Panko and Mollenkopf to arrive.

After half an hour.

Mollenkopf, who was elegant and handsome in a suit and tie, walked into the conference room first. Without saying much, he came directly to Maria, picked up her hand, kissed the back of her hand and said, "I'm late, please forgive me. Miss Maria."

"Take a seat."

Maria was not surprised at all, it was a common etiquette to give a hand gift. Puke did the same thing. He couldn't afford to offend the third-in-command of the Bailey Group, which was the behind-the-scenes consortium that could control their life and death.

None of the company presidents here, regardless of whether they have real power or shares, dare to challenge the Baile Group. Anyone who dares to challenge the company will probably have to go to the Atlantic Ocean to recruit people tomorrow.

"Let's all take your seats."

Maria said calmly.

When Mollenkopf and Panko took their seats, the door to the conference room was also closed. It was obvious that everything that was supposed to come had already arrived.

The men and women who can sit here are basically the presidents of the semiconductor industry.

Perhaps it was the unique straightforwardness of the West. After Maria saw everyone gathered, she directly pressed the remote control and turned on the conference monitor opposite.

all of a sudden.

Everyone looked sideways.

The content of the monitor is none other than the sales data of the two online shopping platforms of Longguo and the supply records of Longxing X2.

"There is already a lot of evidence proving that Longxing Technology Company in the Eastern country has mastered 28-nanometer production technology."

"Not long ago, maybe four hours or six hours ago, they sold another one million units of Longxing X2, and there are also 1 units of Cuican X1 and [-] units of Geek X[-]. We need to do something It’s time to respond.”

The voice just fell.

Laurent Schman, CEO of GlobalFoundries, immediately echoed: "So do we want to jointly impose sanctions on it?"

After asking, he added: "And Miss Maria, if Longxing Technology Company masters the production technology, it might as well cut off its supply of production raw materials. In this way, their technology will be useless."

12-inch semiconductor silicon wafer, photoresist and supporting reagents, these two materials are essential for chip production.

In particular, photoresist and supporting reagents are currently monopolized by Shin-Etsu Chemical, TOK Tokyo Chemical and JSR Co., Ltd. of the neon island country. They are the world's largest photoresist suppliers and suppliers of semiconductor silicon wafers.

After hearing this, Maria nodded slightly and said: "As for the raw materials for chip production, we have already informed various companies that they are prohibited from providing them to Longxing Technology Company. However, this time, we did not come here specifically to talk about sanctions."

"Oh?"

Mollenkopf was a little puzzled and asked: "Isn't there something more important than the sanctions against Longxing Technology?"

Pou Ke smelled something unusual. If he didn't sanction Longxing Technology Company, why did he call them here?
  The CEOs and presidents of other companies looked at each other, equally puzzled.

Maria did not show off, but said bluntly: "If we talk about sanctions, I'm afraid this meeting will be postponed for a few days, because there are still a lot of people who have not arrived, so I called you here this time for one thing. , that is to form a semiconductor chip alliance."

Mollenkopf: "???"

Pants: "???"

Other semiconductor presidents: “???”

Senseless!

Everyone present was stunned!
  To form a semiconductor alliance, do they also need to sign up to keep warm?

Before they could speak, Maria continued to speak frankly: "I know that your companies have corresponding core patented technologies, such as Gaotong's baseband chips, Texas Instruments' innovative digital signal processing and analog circuits, and Broadcom’s wired and wireless communications technologies and more.”

"Our approach is very simple. We want you to exchange technologies and develop together to achieve rapid technological progress in the semiconductor field. Of course, companies from other countries will also join our alliance one after another."

Just after she finished speaking, she added: "This is not my intention alone, but the intention of Baile Group and Linghang Group. You can understand that I am just a messenger."

"..."

silence…

The collective fell into silence.

Maria's meaning is obvious, she wants them to hand over all the company's technology and then make progress together to achieve breakthroughs.

Will they agree?

A little hanging!
  Because they are not the ones talking about the matter, and this needs to be voted on by the shareholders' meeting, they probably won't agree.

Even though we are all American companies, we are always competing in private.

For example, Apple has invested tens of billions in the research and development of baseband chips in the past six months in order to get rid of Gaotong's patents.

If we talk about technology sharing, then aren’t the results of their research in vain?
  However, the biggest loss is not Apple, but Mollenkopf's Gaotong Company, because if there is a real technical dispute, they will lose the cash cow of Apple. It will not be long before they can develop Apple baseband chips.

"This…"

"Miss Maria..."

"I'm afraid..."

Everyone was hesitant to speak. They didn't want to hand over patents to each other, which was not conducive to the development of the company at all.

The two CEOs of Intel and NVIDIA are the most confused. They are PC users, why do they have to hand over technology? Longxing Technology does not threaten them!

Is it because the technology is leading that we share it with our friends and colleagues?

"I stress again, this is not what I meant. You can call shareholders and hold meetings remotely."

Maria's attitude was very tough, and her eyes flashed with displeasure.

Puke, Mollenkopf, and the CEOs and presidents present didn't calm down. How could this be different from what they expected?
  Shouldn't Longxing Technology be sanctioned?
  Why did you attack your own people?
  Although they are not considered their own people and are each other's competitors, such forced integration would go against the development of the market.

Dragon Kingdom companies can form a semiconductor alliance because the Sword of Damocles hangs over the head of every boss.

American companies are originally the "violent party", and they are not threatened by chips. If they form an alliance, apart from paying for technology, they will get no benefits at all. Instead, their own cards will be exposed, making it difficult to overtake in the future.

Just when the CEOs were undecided, the door to the conference room was opened, and several Wall Street financial giants walked in, including the stock god Buffett.

"Just do it."

They show attitude.

They all came to Maria's side. This time the CEOs and presidents were honest.

With so many Wall Street financial giants on their platforms, as well as the stock god Buffett, it seems that Maria really didn’t lie, she was just a messenger, and it was the person behind the scenes who really led the alliance.

Moreover, these financial tycoons more or less hold their stocks, and they also have the right to speak on social media. This meeting already has a bit of a threat in it.

When the CEO complied, Maria spoke again: "In addition to providing technical support, we will also send top experts to assist you in research and development. Please always trust that eye."

"It is omniscient and omnipotent and controls everything!"

 Thank you to the readers for your monthly votes and recommendation votes, as well as to the readers who read every day, thank you all, I am very grateful!
