: Cutting flesh with a dull knife is unpleasant

Wu Xinhui hasn't slept since five o'clock in the morning and has been answering the phone all the time. The calls are from Gao Mingkang, Xia Bing, Yan Hanzhang... In short, they are from Huijia department.

Almost everyone from the top management called.

Perhaps due to poor early results, North America announced that any wafer foundry that uses North American technology and equipment is prohibited from providing chip manufacturing services to Mincom Communications.

This article actually also covers domestic wafer foundries, such as Xentong International.

"Damn it, I was talking to Mr. Meng about this before going to bed yesterday, but today the sky has changed? North America is going to completely kill Mingcom Communications. Damn it, can I make them happy?"

Populus euphratica directly used foul language, which is relatively rare.

Wu Xinhui pretended not to hear it, but her heart was actually filled with anger towards North America.

"Mr. Hu, let's have breakfast first. After breakfast, we'll call you back."

Seeing that Hu Yang was in a bad mood, Wu Xinhui advised him to eat first and then contact Gao Mingkang and others.

"I don't want to eat anymore. Let's go to the Pudong company first."

How could Hu Yang still have the appetite to eat? He estimated that there must be a lot of people coming to see him this morning, so he might as well go directly to the Pudong Company.

"Assistant Wu, call Mr. Meng, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Zhang from Bolong Optics now and ask them to come to the International Building in the morning."

In the car, Hu Yang told Wu Xinhui to temporarily notify Meng Rusong and others to come to the Pudong company so that the senior executives in the city could sit together to discuss the matter.

Arriving at the International Building, Hu Yang went straight to his office. After receiving the news, Wang Qingquan came up not long after.

"Mr. Hu, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. Although Xentong International is currently building southwest manufacturing, the entire project will take some time. So what should we do with Mincom Communications' chips?"

Wang Qingquan's concerns are justified. If Xentong International continues to manufacture for Mingkang Communications at this time, North America's suppression of it will soon be fulfilled.

"Wait a minute. I have already notified Mr. Meng and the others. They should arrive soon. Let's talk about this together then..."

Hu Yang could understand Wang Qingquan's mood, but he couldn't just say it to everyone when he saw it. He had better wait for everyone to come and say it together.

At this time, Wu Xinhui brought in some snacks, "Has Mr. Wang had breakfast?"

"I've eaten...Mr. Hu, why don't you have breakfast first and I'll come back later."

Wang Qingquan did not expect that Hu Yang rushed to the company without even eating breakfast. He quickly stood up and prepared to leave.

"No need to go to such trouble, you can sit in your seat and I can eat whatever I want."

Hu Yang waved his hand and motioned to Wang Qingquan to sit down for a while instead of running back and forth like this.

Half past nine.

Meng Rusong, Huang Tao, Zhang Xiao and others appeared in Hu Yang's office. Everyone's expressions were serious, and they all knew that the Huijia Department had now reached a critical moment.

"Mr. Meng, everyone, let's go to the teahouse and sit."

Today is not a formal meeting, because after such a big thing happened, Hu Yang would definitely discuss it with the senior officials around him.

Hu Yang stood up immediately after finishing his drink, and everyone followed him to the tea room next to the office.

A few people sat down, and Wu Xinhui helped them boil water and make tea, then walked out and closed the door.

Meng Rusong looked at Hu Yang and didn't know how to complain.

"Everyone, I talked about this with Mr. Hu last night, but the news came from North America before dawn.

They are now escalating their suppression of Mincom Communications, and do not even allow any manufacturer with North American technology and equipment to produce chips for Mincom Communications. Damn it, isn't this something that even we, Xentong International, can only stare at?

If you ask me, screw the ban, at worst we at CoreComm International won’t have to deal with North America in the future.”

Meng Rusong thought of his rhetoric last night and decided to make a deal with Hard Steel in North America.

Huang Tao nodded and said: "That's the truth! Those people in North America have no bottom line in doing things, and they change their orders day by day. Regardless of whether there is this incident or not, the other party cannot let CoreCom International go."

Zhang Xiao remembered the suppression of microelectronic equipment by North America, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! You said that we are doing good research and development and production, and we are not provoking anyone. Why is North America so mad?

What if we don’t let it go? Mr. Hu, we are willing to go all out, the worst is that the other party will put all the companies in our Huijia family on the entity list.”

Hu Yang nodded slightly and did not express his position immediately.

He looked at Meng Rusong and asked: "Mr. Meng, can our southern manufacturing be put together in a short time a de-North Americanized production line?"

To be honest, whether it is Populus euphratica or the senior management of the Huijia department, they have been working hard to go to North America for such a long time.

If you have enough time, the problem is not big. But how can North America allow you to calmly deploy? They will never allow Huijia to master the complete semiconductor industry chain.

"Mr. Hu, I can't do it. Even in our southwest manufacturing, there are still many technical problems with domestic substitution that have not been resolved. It will take at least half a year to build a completely de-North Americanized production line."

Meng Rusong shook his head and said that he really couldn't do it at the moment.

Southern Manufacturing is the production base of Xentong International's latest generation (28nm) process technology, and Xentong International only holds 40% of its shares in Southern Manufacturing. Some matters may not be decided until a board meeting.

Hu Yang pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Wu Xinhui knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Gao from Mingkang Communications has boarded the plane. He will fly over from the deep sea. Please let me tell you in advance."

"Yes, I understand. Mr. Wang, go make arrangements and send a car to pick up Mr. Gao, then pick him up here."

Hu Yang knew that Gao Mingkang must not be able to sit still anymore. The other party rushed to the magic city. On the one hand, he wanted to discuss countermeasures with him, and on the other hand, he probably wanted to talk to Meng Rusong, right?

"I heard from Mr. Gao that their latest generation 4G mobile phone chip is about to be finalized and will probably not be released until next month. So, there is still a little margin of time.

However, the base station and the 4G mobile phone chips that have been released cannot be interrupted. The ban in North America does not give any extra time, but the delivery time of existing orders can be extended by 45 days.

In my opinion, during this period of time, Mr. Meng, you have given all your production capacity to Mincom Communications, and they can produce as much as they want, including manufacturing in the south."

Hu Yang immediately decided that no matter what reaction there would be in North America, Xintong International must make good use of these 45 days.

From now on, all other orders will be suspended. Xentong International will open all production capacity to Mincom Communications to meet the other party's base station and smartphone chip needs.

"No problem, I'll go back to the company right away and ask them to free up production capacity as soon as possible. Mr. Hu, I'm here to express my opinion that North America can do whatever it wants. Anyway, I will continue to work hard towards the established goal."

Meng Rusong said it easily, but it was not easy to do it.

On the one hand, we have to patiently explain to other customers; on the other hand, production cannot be stopped at the drop of a hat. At the very least, this batch of production tasks must be completed.

"Mr. Meng, please go back to work first. If anything happens, I will come to you. As for the directors of the company, I will say hello to them."

Whether it is Xintong International or Made in the South or Made in the Southwest, Populus euphratica has the ability to make the final decision.

Taking into account the internal unity, Hu Yang would say hello to other directors in advance. After all, North America has not yet started to suppress Xintong International, and the other party Hard Steel seems to some people to be hitting the muzzle of another person's gun.

It never hurts to work more carefully and be patient.

This is something Populus euphratica has always insisted on.

Meng Rusong left immediately. He had too many things to be busy with. Perhaps the next person to be brought to the forefront would be Corecom International.

"Mr. Hu, this is it anyway. The worst result is that North America will blacklist the entire Huijia system. By the way, those on the other side's blacklist include our Charming Semiconductor, Bolong Optical, and Mincom Communications. I really don't care anymore.

One more CoreCom International.”

Huang Tao, who has always been taciturn, was very angry. He very much agreed with Meng Rusong's proposal. Damn it, what is supposed to come will come, so why should we endure the birdiness of North America anymore?

Zhang Xiao nodded: "That's right! North America is looking for various excuses to suppress companies like ours. To put it bluntly, they want to strangle our semiconductor industry chain. Mr. Hu, now we have no way out, we can only fight to the death with the opponent."

"Well, we have made a lot of plans and have considered the worst-case scenario in detail. Now, the darkest moment has come, so prepare to fight."

Hu Yangheng made a conscious decision and reminded himself that he could no longer let the other party cut his flesh with a dull knife like this.

North America has suppressed a company under the Huijia Group after such a long period of time. In fact, it is just to maintain a high-pressure posture against the Huijia Group.

This situation may not seem to be a desperate moment, but it is the most debilitating. It leaves you with a little hope again and again, and then extinguishes these hopes again and again.

What North America wants is not only to defeat the Huijia clan, but also to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

Therefore, Hu Yang decided to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, no longer pay attention to the so-called "ban", and move forward according to his own goals.

Huang Tao and Zhang Xiao didn't stay long. About half an hour after Meng Rusong left, they all left and returned to their respective jobs.

Wang Qingquan didn't say much today. He couldn't get involved in many things, so he might as well be a quiet listener.

Everyone was gone now. He saw that it was almost time, so he personally took people to the airport to pick up Gao Mingkang.

Just after going to work in the afternoon, Gao Mingkang came to Hu Yang's office.

"Mr. Hu, I was afraid that I couldn't explain clearly on the phone, so I made a special trip. In my opinion, there is no need for Xentong International to take such a big risk. I will try my best to persist until the day when Southwest Company is put into production."

Gao Mingkang is actually having a hard time right now. The escalation of suppression in North America coincides with the surge in demand for Mingkang Communications' 4G base station chips and 4G mobile phone chips.

The chips used in the base stations are okay. After all, the number of base stations is limited. Every order he makes has a surplus, and the inventory alone can last for more than a year.

However, Mincom Communications will soon launch a new generation of smartphones, and the chips used have been locked to the 28nm process.

Now the latest 4G mobile phone chip is about to be designed. But at this juncture, North America is trying every means to keep your design on the drawing board forever.

If no one is OEM for you, it means there is no way to turn it into a product. What’s the point of just talking on paper?

This is a very sinister and vicious place in North America, they don't follow the rules at all.

Gao Mingkang clearly understands the significance of the existence of Xintong International, and he does not want to drag the other party into the water.

"This matter is not a matter between Mincom Communications and Xentong International. This time North America's action has obviously gone beyond economic means.

So, we can’t stand it any longer. How do I use the equipment that I bought legally and need your approval? It’s really ridiculous.”

Hu Yang didn't want to say too much. Meng Rusong and Gao Mingkang were the core members of the Huijia family. He didn't want to whitewash the peace anymore and decided to fight.
