Chapter 693 The wind blows in Europe, domineering
The semiconductor design company under Mingkang Communications is not bad. But at present, it has just ranked among the top ten in the world and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
According to Gao Mingkang's idea, he planned to separate the chip design company. He even thought of a name, and called it "Ruiyi Semiconductor Company".
I met with Hu Yang today to discuss this matter.
The topic just reached this point, and Gao Mingkang expressed his thoughts to Hu Yang.
"Ruiyi Semiconductor? This is a good name. I support your idea. Is there anything you need me to do?"
Hu Yang agreed with Gao Mingkang's opinion that further optimization of the company's structure would be beneficial to all aspects of business management.
"I still have the funds in hand, and I don't need special support for the time being. Let's hold a board meeting later, and then we can implement the resolution after it is made."
Gao Mingkang has no financial pressure for the time being, he just needs Hu Yang's attitude.
"It's a simple matter. Just let me know when the meeting will be held and I will be there on time."
Hu Yang smiled slightly, he liked Gao Mingkang's enterprising spirit very much.
"Okay, then it's settled. Mr. Hu, it's almost time, let's go."
After playing golf all afternoon, Gao Mingkang looked at his watch and left the clubhouse with Hu Yang.
Due to something else in the evening, Hu Yang did not go to dinner with Gao Mingkang today. The two got into their cars and distributed their things at the entrance of the club.
After dinner, Han Wen came to Hu Yang’s study.
"Boss, we have almost found out now. Regarding Mr. Chen's matter, Li Kailong colluded with the North American and Asian Federation, but he was not the leader.
The person leading this matter is Guo Long, who has been arrested. This guy's true identity should be serving relevant agencies in North America."
Han Wen investigated the entire reason why Chen Jialin was arrested in Xiangjiang, and it was clear that Chen Jialin was led into a ditch.
The leaders of this matter were Guo Long and the North American and Asian Federation, and Li Kailong played a role in aiding the evildoers.
"Well, I understand. Awen, you can withdraw from Xiangjiang. Mr. Chen's matter has come to an end for the time being.
However, you asked your people to still pay attention to collecting information about the situation in Xiangjiang. Especially if the prosecutor decides to appeal, you must tell me as soon as possible."
Hu Yang understood Li Kailong's role in the Chen Jialin incident and asked Han Wen to withdraw immediately.
In Xiangjiang, the power of the Huijia Clan is not strong. On the contrary, various Western forces are intertwined, making it very troublesome to deal with.
After Han Wen left, Hu Yang considered that there was no need to fight with the North American Asia Federation for the time being. This organization was involved with many forces in North America, and what they were executing was nothing more than a plan to weaken the Huijia Clan.
As the saying goes, to make iron, you need to be strong yourself. At this time, it is particularly important for the Huijia system to work hard on internal strength.
Just like the last meeting, Hu Yang discussed with everyone: What if North America does not care about face and launches a comprehensive suppression of the Huijia Clan?
In the most extreme case, North America not only completely prohibits any cooperation between North American companies and Huijia, it may even affect Europe and RB's supply chain.
After everyone discussed and discussed, there was only one way, and that was to carry out comprehensive domestic substitution.
"Time, time!"
Hu Yang knew that what he lacked at the moment was time. If North America took action immediately, the Huijia system would collapse immediately, which would be uncomfortable but it would be inevitable.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Hu Yang felt a little tired and was about to take a shower when he received a call from Gao Mingkang.
"Mr. Gao, we have been separated for less than five hours, right? What's new?"
Hu Yang glanced at the phone screen and quickly answered the call. To be honest, he was really a little afraid that Gao Mingkang would bring him some bad news.
"Mr. Hu, I'm outside your community now. Is it convenient for me to come out and have a chat?"
Gao Mingkang's tone was a bit serious, and Hu Yang knew something must have happened. He quickly got up and went downstairs, said hello to Tian Sichun who was watching TV, and walked out.
"Boss, do you need to prepare a car?"
Wang Cheng chased after him. He was on duty tonight, so of course he couldn't let Hu Yang go out alone.
"No need to prepare a car, just come with me."
Hu Yang quickly walked to the door of the community without looking back.
Gao Mingkang's car was parked not far from the entrance of the community. Hu Yang and Wang Cheng saw it as soon as they walked out.
Hu Yang walked over, opened the door and got into the car. Gao Mingkang's driver left the car with a wink, and stood aside with Wang Cheng.
"Mr. Hu, there is an emergency and I need to tell you. Alstom's CEO, Mr. Dio, was arrested in North America earlier."
Gao Mingkang didn't look good. This incident was obviously not good for Mingkang Communications' European strategy.
Mincom Communications and Alcatel have a long history of cooperation. A few years ago, Alcatel sold its mobile phone business to Mincom Communications. This incident marked that Mincom Communications has fully entered the European market with the help of Alcatel's springboard.
Alcatel was once a giant in the world's communications industry, but later gradually declined with the rise of domestic communications companies.
This company has good cooperation with Mincom Communications in many fields. Although its ranking in the world has dropped a lot, its foundation is still there.
"Mr. Gao, does this matter have anything to do with us?"
Hu Yang guessed that he was definitely involved, otherwise Gao Mingkang wouldn't have come looking for him in the middle of the night.
“The excuse used by North America to arrest Mr. Dio is that during the cooperation between Mincom Communications and Alcatel, Mr. Dio received a large amount of money, thus affecting the principle of fair competition.
In addition, in a telecommunications tender in a Southeast Asian country, we and Alcatel once formed a joint team. North America accused Mr. Dio of bribing the person in charge of the tender."
Gao Mingkang's premonition was very bad. North America was definitely planning to kill two birds with one stone this time, hitting both Alcatel and Mingkang Communications' European strategy.
"What the hell! You're so overbearing! Bribe someone from a certain country in Southeast Asia to do what they did to North America? Doesn't that country know how to prosecute? Also, Alcatel is not a North American company, right? Even if Mr. Dio accepted our money,
Shouldn’t it be governed by French law?”
After hearing this, Hu Yang also understood North America's plan.
They are attacking a cow from across the mountain. It looks like it is targeting Alcatel, but in fact it is targeting Mincom Communications.
But scolding comes after scolding, North America is so domineering in doing things. Europeans don't dare to say anything, and Populus euphratica naturally has no choice.
"President Gao, be careful of North America giving dirty water to Mincom Communications. Also, be prepared, I'm afraid that the other party will shamelessly trace our merger and acquisition of the mobile phone business with Alcatel."
At present, Mincom Communications still retains a mobile phone factory in France. This factory used to be owned by Alcatel. After Mincom Communications took over, it served as a springboard to enter Europe, and most of the parts were transported from China.
"Mr. Hu, what I want is to close the factory in France as soon as possible and move the production lines to Eastern European countries.
In addition, we have a joint laboratory with Alcatel. Either we quit or we acquire it, what do you think?"
After all, attacking cattle across mountains will affect the transmission of power. The North American investigation of Alcatel will implicate Mincom Communications, but after all, the impact will not be big.
Gao Mingkang was afraid that the company's European strategy would be affected, so he wanted to leave the vortex of right and wrong.
"It's easier to relocate the factory. The worst we can do is sell the production line to the factory of Stone Technology in Eastern Europe. As for the research institution, I still want to fight for it. If someone else complains, we will be thrown into chaos first."
Hu Yang disagrees with his side voluntarily withdrawing from the joint laboratory. If he really does this, all kinds of disputes will be very annoying.
It's better to try our best to bring the laboratory over, and if it doesn't work, then settle for the next best thing.
"Okay, let's do that. Mr. Hu, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I'll leave right away."
Gao Mingkang hurried over because he wanted to discuss a countermeasure with Populus euphratica. Now that the countermeasure was in place, he was naturally eager to go back.
Hu Yang nodded and got out of the car without saying anything.
Then he took Wang Cheng back to his villa.
"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building."
As soon as I entered the house, a strong wind suddenly blew outside. Looking through the window glass, under the street lights, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the branches were dancing with the strong wind.
Not long after, there was lightning and thunder, and a thunderstorm began.
The next day.
Gao Mingkang quickly called Lu Yali in Europe and asked her to prepare to relocate the mobile phone production line and close the factory according to the plan he and Hu Yang had discussed.
Hu Yang also came to Nishite Technology almost at the same time to discuss the matter with Chen Jialin.
"Mr. Chen, the general situation is like this. What I mean is that we just take advantage of this opportunity to build another factory in Eastern Europe."
Disposing of assets is troublesome, but closing the factory will be much easier.
Closing a factory is mainly about severance and compensation of personnel, while relocating the production line means either rebuilding the factory yourself or selling the production line.
Building a new factory is not of great significance to Mincom Communications. Even if it wants to build a factory in Europe, it is also a communication equipment factory. For mobile phones, it is more cost-effective to find Oshi Technology as an OEM.
"Brother Hu, there is no problem with this matter. What worries me now is that the company's production capacity is about to reach a bottleneck. Tell Mr. Gao that I want his production line and let my subordinates negotiate the price.
become."
Chen Jialin agreed without hesitation. He just happened to want to expand production capacity, so it was a good thing that he was given a pillow if he was sleepy.
"Well, if you agree, let's do it. I'll tell Mr. Gao later. Mr. Chen, the domestic production base needs to be planned in advance. After all, we still have to put most of the production capacity domestically."
Hu Yang came to find Chen Jialin. The matter of Mingkang Communications was only one aspect. What was more important was the next development of Nishite Technology.
Although the company's current production capacity can still cope with it, there is a construction period for expanding production capacity, and preparations need to be made in advance.
"I've been thinking about this issue for the past two days. Tell me, where will our next production base be located?"
Chen Jialin feels that there is no need to discuss the new production base. What needs to be discussed is where the new production base should be located.
"I think Rongcheng is good, what do you think?"
