Chapter 623 The arrival of the business cycle

"Is the business going well? With a beauty like you sitting in the company, I guess the business will not be bad."

Hu Yang and Zhong Yilin made a casual joke, but received a blank look from the other party.

"My brother's business is already very good. I went over to help out because I was bored. Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Hu for introducing my brother to Mr. Chang from Ark Computer. Mr. Chang helped us a lot.

Busy."

Zhong Yilin didn't mention this before, but now that she has mentioned it, she naturally wants to thank Hu Yang.

"It's a small thing, it's a small thing. I met Mr. Chang today, and he said that your brother still sits in the sales department of Ark Computer every day. What's the matter, the supply of goods is still not enough?"

Hu Yang took a few bites of the food and put down his chopsticks.

He didn't know if Zhong Yilin's eldest brother was greedy, why else would he be sitting on the Ark computer every day? He couldn't ask Chang Sheng about this, but it didn't matter if he asked Zhong Yilin.

"The company is still out of stock. Now the price of memory sticks keeps changing and rising every day. We can't keep the inventory at all."

What Zhong Yilin said can also be understood by Populus euphratica.

Since the other party is a large wholesaler, it cannot sell any goods at all. If it does that, it is estimated that there will be no customers.

However, Poplar euphratica is not clear about the sales situation at the front end. It seems that the price has not yet been transmitted to the manufacturer.

It is estimated that it will be very soon, at most three or two days, before the major manufacturers will adjust their ex-factory prices.

The two of them just chatted without saying a word, ate something and drank a glass of wine, and before they knew it, the bottle of Moutai was empty.

Hu Yang raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost ten o'clock. He didn't expect to sit there for so long.

"Miss Zhong, is it almost done today? How about we retreat?"

Populus euphratica was in good condition today, at most he was a little tipsy.

Two red clouds flew up on Zhong Yilin's face, but her eyes were still clear.

"Okay, let's go then. Waiter, pay the bill..."

After paying the bill, Hu Yang and Zhong Yilin walked out of the restaurant.

"Ms. Zhong, did you drive here? If not, I will take you there."

Zhong Yilin has been following Hu Yang, and she has no intention of leaving when she reaches the parking lot.

"I knew I was going to drink tonight, so I didn't drive. Mr. Hu, please leave me alone. I can just take a taxi myself."

Seeing that Hu Yang had no follow-up arrangements, Zhong Yilin hurriedly said goodbye.

"Let's go, let's go, I'm just on the way, get in the car."

Hu Yang laughed, and without any explanation, invited Zhong Yilin into his car.

The next day.

Hu Yang came to the office early in the morning and called Yan Hanzhang.

"Mr. Yan, the time is almost here to increase supply to the market. In addition, the price can also be increased appropriately, all on the premise of ensuring profitability."

Although there is some lag in price transmission, it only happened in the past two days. There is nothing wrong with Charming Semiconductor taking the initiative to raise prices now. Anyway, major manufacturers will follow suit later.

This price increase affects all memory chips.

Of course, this does not include the latest products produced by Charming Semiconductor, which are produced using the N+1 generation of 32-layer stacking technology.

The pricing of new products is generally very high, and the price will gradually decrease in the future mass production procedures.

The more high-end the product, the greater the company's independent pricing power. For example, international giants like S Star frequently launch price wars precisely because they have the high profits of high-end products as a guarantee.

Things are changing, and Charming Semiconductor finally has the world's leading high-end products. It is precisely because of this technology that no one else has that we can make a lot of money.

"Mr. Hu, do you mean that we start selling the memory chips we have reserved after expanding production capacity to the market?"

DRAM memory chips have always been the shortcomings of Charming Semiconductor. Yan Hanzhang seems to have some concerns about immediately raising the price of memory chips.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yan. Consumer terminals such as memory sticks have begun to increase in price recently, and the prices will soon be transmitted to the production end. That's it, you guys act quickly."

Hu Yang explained casually, and Yan Hanzhang understood what the problem was.

So after he put down the phone, he hurried to the headquarters of Charming Semiconductor.

An hour later, Charming Semiconductor's price adjustment notice was sent to major manufacturers. The memory chips they had previously hoarded began to increase shipments.

Also adjusting simultaneously are flash memory chips, whose price increases are similar to those of memory chips, both at 10%.

Ark Computer also received a price adjustment notice. Chang Sheng was not surprised. After all, he had already heard about the plan from Hu Yang.

"Haha, Charming Semiconductor's price increase today is just the beginning. In the future, small price increases in three days and big price increases in five days will become the norm."

Chang Sheng realized that a new price cycle for memory chips has arrived, and this time it is obviously a cycle of rising prices.

"Inform Vice President Luo and ask him to take his people to sign a supply contract with Charming Semiconductor immediately and try to get as much purchase volume as possible. Well... there is also that damn price-guaranteed agreement. Let's sign it as well."

Chang Sheng asked his secretary to inform the relevant personnel. As for the supply volume, Charming Semiconductor has the final say. Now is just the beginning of the price increase. Of course, the manufacturer's shipments will not fill the market demand all at once. This is definitely

There has to be a process.

For Ark Computer, the price of memory modules produced in the future will naturally increase accordingly. This is a typical price transmission. Charming Semiconductor only moved for a few days first.

Soon, the news that Charming Semiconductor was the first to increase prices spread throughout the market.

Giants such as S Star knew about this, but they didn't take it to heart. Any successful large enterprise must have its own business plan, which will not be changed easily unless it encounters special circumstances.

Furthermore, the current price has just recovered from the bottom, and people are not so stupid to increase shipments right away.

According to the plan, both S Star and MG will first raise prices and then expand production capacity. Only in this way can profits be maximized and the company can recover its blood to the greatest extent.

Hu Yang's idea is different from theirs. His purpose is to quickly seize the domestic memory chip market. As long as there is a little profit, Charming Semiconductor will increase shipments.

Another advantage of this is that it delays the speed of price increases and disrupts the recovery pace of those giants.

Not to mention that Ark Computer is working overtime to produce memory modules, and some well-known foreign memory module manufacturers have also begun to seek supplies from Charming Semiconductor.

"Mr. Hu, do you think I should supply them? These multinational companies are unwilling to sign a guaranteed price agreement with us. There is no other way. They are very confident!"

At this time, Hu Yang was sitting in the car with Tian Sichun, taking the little guy back to Shenhai from Yangcheng.

Tian Sichun and the little guy stayed in Yangcheng for almost a month. Hu Yang made a special trip this time, intending to take them home.

"Mr. Yan, I'll be at the Shenhai Toll Station soon. Why don't we go to my office to talk. Well, see you in an hour."

There were some things that I couldn't explain clearly on the phone, so Hu Yang quickly hung up the phone.

"Ayang, is there something going on at the company? Why don't you go directly to the company, and Xiaoyi and I will change cars later."

Tian Sichun could understand Hu Yang's busyness. Besides, she was surrounded by a lot of assistants, nannies and security personnel, so she didn't need Hu Yang to send herself and her son home in person.

Hu Yang nodded, and after getting off the highway, he found a place for Wang Cheng to stop, and put Tian Sichun and Xiao Yifei into another vehicle.

Later, two cars followed Tian Sichun and his son to Xianghu No. 1, while Hu Yang took a car to the investment building.

"Mr. Yan, the guaranteed price agreement must be signed, and no one is exempt. If the other party refuses to sign the agreement, just ask them to wait. I don't believe they will watch the price go up to a higher level."

When meeting Yan Hanzhang, Hu Yang directly expressed his tough attitude without being verbose.

Although these multinational companies have a large business in China, they have previously cooperated with companies such as S Star and MG.

Now I come to Charming Semiconductor not because the other party wants to change partners, but because the output of companies such as S Star is still under pressure.

To put it bluntly, if you come to Charming Semiconductor at this time, the other party is just looking for a bargain.

In this case, why should we be polite to them?

"Yeah, that's the same reason! Mr. Hu, what do you mean, these multinational companies are just a one-time deal with us? If that's the case, let's just raise the price some more."

Yan Hanzhang quickly figured out the secret behind this. He couldn't help but be full of malice toward these arrogant guys who wanted to take advantage of others.

"Haha, there's no need to do that. Just treat everyone equally. Anyway, the price is changing at any time. Didn't you adjust the price once this morning?"

After today's price adjustment, it has increased by almost 15% compared to the previous low price. Charming Semiconductor's shipments have also increased by 35%.

There is really no need to treat them differently, it will make their appearance look ugly.

Hu Yang rejected Yan Hanzhang's proposal and then said:

"Mr. Yan, once these multinational companies decide to purchase memory chips from Charming Semiconductor, their products must have continuity.

Don't forget, there are still some differences between our products and S Star's. When the other party produces them, they will definitely need to make some minor adjustments.

Therefore, once the other party starts, it will not be easy to stop, at least not within half a year."

Yan Hanzhang had somewhat ignored this question, but when Hu Yang said it, he immediately reacted.

"Hey, Mr. Hu is still looking deeply. Okay, I'll go back and give the other party an answer. As for whether the negotiation can be concluded, I'm not sure."

The uncertain factor is whether international giants such as S Star will expand production capacity immediately. As long as they continue to limit production, this business will be fine.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded, sending Yan Hanzhang away.

Hu Yang doesn't mind Yan Hanzhang's worries. Enterprises such as S Star and MG have finally survived the last round of price declines, and they will never be satisfied with such a small profit.

In the afternoon, Yan Hanzhang came to Hu Yang's office excitedly.

"Mr. Hu, good news! Seeing my firm attitude, these multinational companies signed price-guaranteed agreements without saying a word. Guess what? Their purchase volume is not small."
