Chapter 621 Seize the opportunity

Theoretically, the market share of Charming Semiconductor, which has been brutally suppressed, will shrink, the stock price will fall, and the output will gradually decline.

Because the more we produce, the greater our losses, which is a vicious cycle.

Otherwise, these international giants, including S-Star and MG, would rather lose money than engage in a price war, instead of trying to defeat Charming Semiconductor?

But all of them underestimated Populus euphratica's financial strength.

For example, the previous financing seemed to be issued corporate bonds and loans from banks, but in essence it was supported by Populus euphratica's own funds.

Therefore, Hu Yang dared to make the decision to let Charming Semiconductor invest countercyclically and build a number of new factories to expand production capacity.

One afternoon two days later, Hu Yang was sitting in his office reviewing documents when he received a call from Zhong Yilin.

"Mr. Hu, thank you very much. My elder brother went to see Mr. Chang from Ark Computer yesterday morning, and he has now received a batch of goods.

When are you free? I would like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."

Zhong Yilin didn't expect that things would go so smoothly this time, and she would be exposed in front of her elder brother.

"Haha, it's just a small thing, don't worry about it. I've been busy recently and may not be able to spare the time. Well, I'll call you when I'm free."

The reason why Hu Yang was willing to help was because Zhong Yilin's incident reminded him. Anyway, this kind of thing is really insignificant to him.

"Well, if you are free, you must make an appointment with me. Then I won't disturb you, bye."

Zhong Yilin felt very sorry and was still a little depressed after hanging up the phone.

"Assistant Wu, please ask Ajie to prepare. We will leave for the airport in twenty minutes. By the way, remember to inform Mr. Yan so that he can prepare."

After talking to Zhong Yilin on the phone, Hu Yang glanced at his watch and asked Wu Xinhui to inform everyone to prepare for departure.

He has applied for a flight route in advance and will fly directly to Shanghai in the evening.

This itinerary was decided on the spur of the moment. The first stop is Magic City, followed by HF, Zhongyuan City, Imperial Capital, Rongcheng, Jianghan, and then back to Deep Sea.

"Mr. Yan, have you explained everything about the company?"

On the plane, Hu Yang and Yan Hanzhang sat together to have dinner. It was difficult to apply for the nearest route. If you wanted to travel as soon as possible, you could only take off during this time.

"Yes, the company's affairs have been arranged. Mr. Hu, are you planning to personally supervise the battle? This transfer will not be easy."

Yan Hanzhang ate a piece of steak and put down the tableware. To be honest, his appetite was not very good during this period, and his mind was filled with things about Charming Semiconductor when he opened and closed his eyes.

If Hu Yang hadn't named him personally, Yan Hanzhang would have planned to stay at the headquarters of Charming Semiconductor recently and never thought about traveling far away.

"Mr. Yan, you still have to believe in their abilities. Whether it is Mr. Huang or Mr. Wang, they have grown into independent experts. There is no need to keep an eye on them too closely."

The Mr. Huang that Hu Yang mentioned was Huang Tao from Charming Semiconductor, and Mr. Wang was naturally Wang Han from Charming Electronics.

"Mr. Hu is right. If I hadn't encountered this dilemma, I would still be wishing to walk around."

Yan Hanzhang sighed lightly. He was still very worried about the current situation. Although he had come up with many countermeasures, he was not sure whether he could survive this hurdle.

"We must strengthen our confidence. At present, confidence is more important than anything else."

Hu Yang didn't want to say too much. The backbone of the Huijia department lacked the training of this extraordinary period. After getting over this hurdle, any one of these people can take on a leading role.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Hu Yang returned to his old bungalow.

Yan Hanzhang went directly to Charming Research Institute. In Magic City, he didn't need Hu Yang to worry about it. Both the research institute and Charming Semiconductor's Magic City factory were his territory.

After a good night's rest, Hu Yang asked Wu Xinhui to notify Meng Rusong early the next morning, and then came to Xintong International.

"Mr. Hu, do you need to call everyone for a meeting?"

When they first met, Meng Rusong asked with a smile.

"It's nothing important, so don't hold the meeting. Everyone is busy. Mr. Meng, give me a brief introduction to the company, and then we'll go to the factory to have a look."

Hu Yang doesn't like meetings very much, especially during this period when Corecom International is in a critical period of technological upgrading, and he doesn't want to disturb everyone's work.

"That's okay, the company has been really busy these days."

Meng Rusong was not pretentious, he was just busy when he was busy. Since Hu Yang had nothing important to do, it was okay not to have a meeting. Then, he began to report on the company's production and operation in the recent period.

The current living environment of Xentong International is much better than that of Charming Semiconductor. This is not only a problem of suppression in North America, but also a problem of technology accumulation.

Obviously, Xentong International is stronger than Charming Semiconductor in terms of technology accumulation.

At present, there are neither too many nor too few companies with chip production capabilities in the world. At least in fields other than memory chips, there is no single company as dominant as S Star.

S Star's annual memory chip sales account for almost 60% to 70% of the global market. Coupled with MG and SK, the living space of other companies is not large, so North America has no pressure to suppress Charming Semiconductor.

However, Xintong International is different. Xintong International's current technical level is completely comparable to all the world's giants, even compared with Taipower, it is not inferior, and it is much better than S Star.

In order to spread risks, many internationally renowned companies have relatively good cooperative relationships with Xentong International.

If North America rashly suppresses Xentong International, many unpredictable problems will arise. Without certainty, it can only use some small means, such as the purchase of high-end lithography machines, to create some trouble for Xentong International.

Domestic lithography machines are in a state of accelerating to catch up. At least in the stage before 10nm or even 7nm, no one can hinder Xentong International.

As for EUV extreme violet lithography machines below 7nm (inclusive), it will take a long time for A&ML to officially go into production.

After all, Taipower and Xentong International are working on the 28nm process, and the application of EUV still has a long way to go.

Furthermore, Xentong International has used domestically produced lithography equipment to become the largest supplier of military chips in the country. This profit alone makes foreign giants jealous.

"Mr. Hu, we predict that Xintong International's profits for the whole year will increase significantly this year."

When Meng Rusong said this, it was inevitable that he would feel a little complacent.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded, feeling very satisfied in his heart. Thinking back to those days, Xintong International also walked through it step by step. On the road of growth, the problems it encountered were not much less than those of Charming Semiconductor today.

It can be said that without Dr. Zhang Rulin, there would be no birth of CoreCom International. And without Meng Rusong, there would be no great development of CoreCom International.

"Mr. Meng, I'm really happy. Today, Xentong International has achieved leapfrog development. There is a saying that goes well, to make iron, you need to be strong!"

During this period, Hu Yang was also worried about Charming Semiconductor. In fact, he always thought that if Charming Semiconductor could have the confidence of Xentong International, North America would not dare to suppress it easily.

"Mr. Hu, I know you are still worried about Charming Semiconductor. Let me tell you, you don't have to worry too much. Charming Semiconductor will naturally have to go the same way that Xentong International has gone. This is good for them."

Despite the smooth development of Charming Semiconductor at the beginning, the accumulation is still not enough.

Even so, in terms of flash memory technology, Charming Semiconductor has reached the top of the world. In terms of other technologies, the gap with international giants is not big.

The only fatal flaw is that the market share is too small. Especially since it is not recognized by most international companies, this is the key to the problem.

"Well, if you want to say how worried I am, it's not that much, I'm just annoyed. What else can we do to some countries that have no bottom line? The only way is to use soldiers to cover up the water and cover it up with the ground.

Mr. Meng, I know what’s going on with Charming Semiconductor. Some people have very good plans, how can I make them get what they want? Oh, by the way, how is the construction of our confidential factory going?"

Hu Yang smiled and shook his head, showing his determination to Meng Rusong.

Regarding this point, he is really not bragging. According to the course of history, a certain Super League's debt crisis will soon break out.

According to Hu Yang's estimation, the coming of a certain super debt crisis may be earlier than in the previous life. After all, many things in the two time and space have developed very differently up to now.

For example, Corecom International, at the current point in time and space when Hu Yang was there, was not so bullish. He remembered that Corecom International had endured the humiliation for many years before it began to slowly emerge.

The emergence of the Huijia system changed many events in my memory.

Nowadays, it is difficult for Populus euphratica to make decisions directly with the extra memory. But it cannot be said that these memories are useless, and their reference value is still very, very great.

"The civil construction part of our Jinling factory will be completed soon. Next is the installation and commissioning of equipment, trial production, etc..."

Meng Rusong replied with a smile and assured Hu Yang that the factory in Jinling would definitely be completed within six months.

Hu Yang nodded, and then, accompanied by Meng Rusong, visited the factory and R&D institutions.

"Mr. Hu, our 28nm process technology can actually be considered a breakthrough. However, I agree with everyone else that there are still some minor flaws that need to be adjusted."

Meng Rusong pretended to say something casually, which surprised Hu Yang.

As for technical matters, a breakthrough is a breakthrough. As long as mass production can be achieved and a good yield rate can be achieved, there will be no problems.

If you still want to keep improving, you can definitely go to the N+1 generation or even the N+2 generation. Then you can smoothly enter the 14nm process. Isn’t this great?

It seems that Meng Rusong has also learned badly. He has obviously made a breakthrough in technology, but his tone of voice is still unsatisfactory.

"Mr. Meng, you are being hypocritical. You are not a technical person who bullied me, are you? I said, are you ahead of Taipower again? I haven't heard any news about Taipower recently. Congratulations, congratulations to you.

....."

Hu Yang stepped forward and slapped Meng Rusong hard on the shoulder. This slap almost knocked him over.

"Mr. Hu, do you want to be so cruel?"

Meng Rusong staggered and looked at Populus euphratica with a look full of resentment.

Hu Yang quickly smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This joy is neither light nor heavy. Mr. Meng, please bear with me."

Meng Rusong knew that this was what Populus euphratica did on purpose, but what could he do? It was also his fault that he got carried away because he didn't expect Populus euphratica to have such a bad taste.

"Mr. Hu, Taipower's 28nm process is moving quickly. The news I received says that within half a month at most, they will announce the successful development."

Meng Rusong smiled, he had no intention of grabbing the first place.

Speaking of which, this is also his bad taste. Meng Rusong plans that whenever Taipower makes an announcement, he will follow up immediately, and the time will never exceed 24 hours.

"Okay, these things are up to you. Who makes you and Taipower enemies? To be honest, it is a good thing that we made the announcement later. Compared with Taipower, our accumulation is worse."

There are some things that Hu Yang did not say clearly. As long as you stick to the most advanced chip manufacturing technology in the world, there is no need to care about those vain things.
