Chapter 730: Of course, pick the soft persimmon first.

"Assistant Wu, what's going on?"

Hu Yang walked into the office and asked Wu Xinhui before he could sit down.

"Mr. Hu, the news was released in the morning. A semiconductor equipment supplier in RB has withdrawn from Xentong International's supply chain. It is said that the other party is under pressure from North America."

Xintong International can build a 100% de-North American production line, but it cannot immediately achieve 100% localization.

For example, the production line manufactured in Southwest China has some European and RB equipment.

It is impossible to sell ASML's lithography machines to Southwest Manufacturing, but equipment from Braun Optics can replace it. Some other equipment, including European and RB manufacturers, have still joined the supply chain.

Now it seems that this supply chain is not 100% stable.

"Assistant Wu, call Mr. Meng right away. I think he should already know the news. Tell him to give me an evaluation report as soon as possible and find a new supply replacement immediately."

Hu Yang gave Wu Xinhui an explanation, and then asked Mi Qi to inform Xia Bing and Yan Hanzhang to come to his place.

"boss......"

"Mr. Hu..."

Not long after, Xia Bing and Yan Hanzhang came together. Hu Yang invited them to sit down in the small reception room, and then briefly introduced the changes in the southwest manufacturing supply chain.

"Mr. Xia, go to Chengdu and discuss with Mr. Meng to launch a global secondary equipment procurement bidding as soon as possible.

The withdrawal of RB manufacturers this time reminds us that there are always some foreign companies that can cause us trouble because they cannot withstand the pressure."

Xia Bing is relatively familiar with international mergers and acquisitions and international trade. It is a good choice for her to represent Hu Yang and negotiate with Meng Rusong to solve the problem.

"Boss, just leave this matter to me, don't worry. However, let's close the door and say something. Faced with the pressure from North America, it may be difficult for foreign companies to withstand the pressure. After all, they don't have much motivation."

What Xia Bing said is true. There are many foreign semiconductor-related companies that actually have the technical strength to go to North America.

But they don't have the motivation to do this. To put it bluntly, the consequences of offending North America are very serious. However, there is not much risk in forming an alliance to suppress the Huijia faction. At most, they will lose a small profit.

"Hmph! How can it be so cheap? We can't do anything about North America for the time being, so what about other foreign companies?

Mr. Yan, please go to the Magic City for me and find Mayor Fang Quping. I have a proposal here, please ask him to hand it over to me."

Hu Yang snorted coldly and asked Wu Xinhui to bring in several reports that he had just prepared.

In the report, he detailed the problem of the RB company breaking the contract without reason and damaging the southwest manufacturing supply chain. He also implored the relevant departments to restrict the entry of that company's products into the domestic market in accordance with the principle of reciprocity.

"Boss, you are so cruel. If your goal is achieved, this company will have to shed its skin even if it is not dead."

Xia Bing and Yan Hanzhang each finished reading the report, and Xia Bing couldn't help but give her thumbs up.

"Mr. Hu, this is a good idea, but it's like killing the chicken and frightening the monkey. Anyone who follows North America's lead and harms our interests will definitely pay the price."

Yan Hanzhang laughed, he felt that this was the most appropriate thing to do at the moment.

The game with North America is at the national level, and the small Huijia group has no say. What's more, the last time, North America canceled its suppression of Xentong International because GT was under antitrust investigation.

In other words, the back-and-forth between China and North America has temporarily stopped playing cards.

This time targeting southwest manufacturing is actually a continuation of the suppression of Minkang Communications. Moreover, North America did not rush to the front, and an RB company acted as a vanguard.

In this case, the best solution is to deal with this RB company severely. There is no need to escalate the fight with North America for the time being.

However, Populus euphratica also knows that the day is not far away when North America will completely encircle us.

That night.

Xia Bing flew to Chengdu. She first wanted to discuss with Meng Rusong whether there was a possibility of overseas mergers and acquisitions. The second thing was to continue looking for overseas alternatives.

Huijia International Investment has already extended its tentacles to Europe, America and RB and other regions. Xia Bing has great advantages in overseas mergers and acquisitions or other forms of trade.

Meng Rusong actually controls Southwest Manufacturing and is also an expert in integrated circuit manufacturing. Together, the two of them will definitely produce an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

Yan Hanzhang flew to the Magic City early the next morning.

After getting off the plane, he rushed directly from the airport to the city hall and urgently asked to see Feng Fang Qu Ping.

Because Hu Yang had called Fang Quping in advance, Yan Hanzhang met the other party smoothly and handed over Hu Yang's report.

"These are really troubled times. Mr. Yan, go back and tell Mr. Hu that I will try my best to facilitate this matter."

After reading the report, Fang Quping did not beat around the bush and said he would do his best.

After Yan Hanzhang left the city government, he came to Charming Research Institute. He will stay in Magic City these days. On the one hand, he will inspect the work of the research institute and Charming Semiconductor Pudong Factory. On the other hand, he needs to wait for news from Fang Quping.

.

Hu Yang stayed in the deep sea and had several phone calls with Xia Bing and others almost every day.

Relatively speaking, the matter on Xia Bing's side is not very urgent. Although the RB company has withdrawn from the supply chain, the previously ordered equipment has already arrived. If Southwest Manufacturing does not need to build a new production line for the time being, this matter will have a negative impact on the company's production.

There is almost no impact on operations.

Xia Bing and Meng Rusong discussed for several days and finally decided on a list. The preferred replacement was a product from an Italian company.

"Mr. Hu, I plan to go to Italy. It would be best to acquire that company. As a retreat, you can consider taking a shareholding or establishing a joint venture. If that doesn't work, you can also bring the other party into the supply chain of Southwest Manufacturing.

OK."

The products of RB Company have not yet been replaced in China. According to Meng Rusong, there are emerging domestic companies that are developing in this direction, but so far there are no qualified products on the market.

The Italian company Xia Bing chose happened to also produce ion implantation equipment. It was also a long-term supplier to STMicroelectronics and other companies, so there was no problem with product quality.

Therefore, Xia Bing prepared to go to Italy in person.

“Mr.

Hu Yang shook her head, feeling that Xia Bing would not gain much from this trip. But the third option she considered, which was to include the other party in the ranks of Southwest Manufacturing suppliers, should not be a big problem.

"Well, I know how to act with a camera."

Xia Bing was mentally prepared, but she still wanted to work hard. The day after she talked to Hu Yang on the phone, she led the team to Italy.

Yan Hanzhang stayed in the magical capital for a week and then returned to the deep sea.

"Mr. Hu, Mayor Fang asked me to give you a message. You will see the results you want right away."

When Yan Hanzhang saw Hu Yang, he smiled mysteriously, indicating that everything was under control.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yan."

Hu Yang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when he asked Yan Hanzhang to go to Fang Quping with the report, he was at most five points sure.

As for why he went to Fang Quping instead of someone else, there was actually something special about it. However, there were some things he would not tell Yan Hanzhang, and facts proved that there was no problem with his choice.

A few days later, the relevant departments banned the products of a certain RB company from entering the country on the grounds that it had actually harmed domestic enterprises.

As soon as this order was issued, the company was in trouble.

The impact of this incident is far beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Perhaps ordinary people think that if this company does not do business with domestic enterprises, then it will be over?

But in fact, many foreign giants have also set up factories in China, including Taipower, S Star and other companies. The products of RB Company cannot pass customs, so these international giants' domestic factories will naturally not order their equipment.

.

Moreover, domestic integrated circuit manufacturing companies are also gradually rising, and the long-term losses of this RB company will be huge.

This incident shocked many international giants.

For example, a senior executive from Tokyo Electronics said in an interview that RB Corporation is actually a victim. If you want to retaliate, you should retaliate against North America. You should not target the wrong company.

The reporter then asked him, why did that company not cooperate with Southwest Manufacturing at that time, but why did it join its supply chain, sell its equipment, and then turn its back on it?

The executive couldn't answer.

"I just want to take action against a company that is treacherous, so that we can stand on the moral high ground. In this way, some people will understand that they will be hit even if they harm our interests."

Gao Mingkang returned to Shenhai from Chengdu a few days ago. He was a little puzzled that Hu Yang chose this RB company as the target of his attack.

He feels that picking soft persimmons actually does not have much effect.

But Populus euphratica doesn't think so. In this world, how many people are willing to sit down and reason with you? The so-called power makes justice, and North America has fully demonstrated it to everyone.

Populus euphratica wants to use this example to tell everyone that I have nothing to do with North America for the time being. Who wants us to be the only superpower in the world?

But that doesn't mean that I can't do anything about the dog-leggers who are waving flags and shouting behind North America. The method of taking a stand is not easy to use on my side.

"That's right. It seems that I, Gao, am still a bit immature. Mr. Hu, the question is, how do you know that the relevant departments will agree with the matters in your report?"

Gao Mingkang is a good guy in business and technology, but he is still a little confused about international politics.

"Because our interests are consistent with the interests of the country."

Hu Yang rolled his eyes at him. Being able to ask such a mentally retarded question shows that Gao Mingkang has not learned political economics well!

By the way, Gao Mingkang, who has been studying in North America, has he ever learned this stuff?

"Haha, I just asked casually. But now it seems that the effect of this is quite good. Some of our previous suppliers were originally planning to follow North America and suppress Mincom Communications.

After your incident came out, they quickly stated that they would strengthen cooperation with us. What is this called? This means that a good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others."

Gao Mingkang smiled. He still understood the truth, but he just felt that he couldn't swallow this breath. When can we retaliate against North America in equal measure?

Hu Yang could probably guess Gao Mingkang's inner thoughts, but his mouth moved a few times, but in the end he didn't say anything.

It's not that some things can't be said, it's just that the time to say them now is wrong, which will only increase people's annoyance. He feels that the struggle with certain forces is a long-term process.
