Chapter 43 At the critical moment, Hong Kong calls
You must know that Huayao is fighting a protracted war this time. Without enough inventory, there is no chance of winning.
Wang Chengdong hesitated to speak.
Sun Yafang said: "Old Wang, it's now, what else can't be said."
Wang Chengdong said: "Ms. Xiao Xu and I have contacted a semiconductor manufacturing company that is tapeouting us. If we can succeed, we don't need to ask them."
Sun Yafang glanced at Wang Chengdong: "Do you think it's reliable?"
"this……"
Obviously, Wang Chengdong is also very unsure.
Other core executives of Huayao also knew something about Wang Chengdong and Xu Zhijun's contact with a semiconductor company in Hong Kong Island.
But no one has high hopes for this matter. After all, Hong Kong Island does not have the soil for high-tech enterprises. Even if it is currently being tape-out, the success rate is almost non-existent.
What's more, there are only a handful of semiconductor manufacturing companies in Blue Star that can satisfy Huayao. It's hard to imagine that other companies will succeed.
Wang Chengdong said: "Okay, Mr. Sun, let's try to keep the price as low as possible, otherwise we really won't be able to bear it."
Sun Yafang nodded: "I understand, do your best."
At the same time, in the conference room, Michael and Zhao Zhanlong were also chatting.
Compared with the solemnity of Wang Chengdong and Sun Yafang, these two people are much more relaxed, and can even be said to be relaxed and contented.
The two even clinked coffee cups.
"Mr. Hermann, do you think they will agree?"
Michael smiled slightly: "Do they have any other choice? They will definitely agree."
"But I think they will still lower the price."
"That's for sure, unless they are fools."
"Mr. Hermann, do you mean that we can be accommodating?"
Michael took a sip of coffee, thought for a while, and said, "But we can also make it clear that there is not much room for negotiation. We can only offer a little discount, just a little bit."
As he spoke, Michael made a little gesture.
If someone records a video of him or takes a photo and posts it online, he will not be able to go to Bangzi Country directly.
Zhao Zhanlong thought for a while: "They seem to have objections to the packaging and sale of chips. Should we..."
Michael waved his hand: "James, we must make this clear to them. There is no need to negotiate. It must be packaged and sold, otherwise the transaction cannot be completed."
Zhao Zhanlong nodded: "Understood, Mr. Herman, I believe they will understand."
Michael smiled slightly: "So what if they can't understand? Does Hua Yao still have the qualifications to negotiate terms?"
Zhao Zhanlong suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Herman, do you think the Yingjiang Ministry of Commerce will allow Huayao to purchase chips in the future?"
Michael glanced at Zhao Zhanlong: "James, are you really such a naive guy?"
"……Um?"
"Now that our Ministry of Commerce has taken action, it cannot easily leave room for Huayao. If Huayao is allowed to buy chips, it will definitely be low-end chips, which will not make Huayao feel better."
"In other words, this new semiconductor bill is not temporary, it is permanent."
"Of course, permanently."
Zhao Zhanlong's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Good guy, Yingjiang Commercial Department is really ruthless. They want to punish the other party to death without giving them any room for survival.
Zhao Zhanlong has determined that even if Huayao buys these new products, he won't live long and it will be a waste of money.
After a while, Wang Chengdong and Sun Yafang came back.
Negotiations continue.
Although Wang Chengdong was very angry, he also knew that he had no choice but to compromise.
As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.
As long as you delay it long enough, there will be a chance to turn around. However, the subsequent negotiations did not go smoothly.
Although Michael promised to negotiate the price, the extent to which the price could be reduced was limited.
Sun Yafang argued hard, and it was difficult for Michael to let go.
Michael said: "Okay, Mr. Sun, I can give you a little more at most, five and a half times the market price, okay?"
Sun Yafang frowned: "Isn't five times the market price enough? Mr. Herman."
Michael shook his head: "No, it's five and a half times. This is our biggest concession."
Sun Yafang was a little angry. This foreigner was really like a candy.
This doesn't look like negotiating at all, it just puts pressure on Huayao.
Michael Herman really believes that Huayao has no other choice but to buy these chips at a high price.
Sun Yafang was silent. Huayao was indeed rich, but not to this extent.
Especially this batch of chips, more than half of which are equivalent to waste products, can only be left in the warehouse to mold after being bought.
Michael was very arrogant. After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Sun Yafang. He drank coffee carelessly and occasionally looked out the window at the view of the Huangpu River.
Zhao Zhanlong chuckled: "Mr. Sun, Mr. Wang, what do you think? We are selling them in packages at five and a half times the market price. We have tried our best and cannot go any lower."
Sun Yafang opened her mouth, but still no words came out.
It's so hard to choose.
Although Sun Yafang was Huayao's second-in-command and had great decision-making power, this order was too expensive and almost cost Huayao a lot of blood.
Let’s not talk about how long these chips can last. The amount of money is so huge that it is very likely that Huayao’s R&D funding will be cut off a large chunk next year.
Investment in research and development has always been the key to Huayao's survival. At this time, not only cannot it be less, but it must be increased.
Sun Yafang, a woman who was so decisive in killing, now hesitated.
Wang Chengdong couldn't think even more.
With Wang Chengdong's temper, there was no need to talk at all, he could just leave and be done with it.
But under the current situation, Wang Chengdong cannot be willful and must put the company's interests first.
Wang Chengdong saw Sun Yafang clenching her fists, obviously struggling.
At this moment, Michael said calmly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, Mr. Wang, I have something else to do, so I may have to leave first."
With that said, Michael stood up.
"Wait, Mr. Hermann."
Sun Yafang stopped Michael, sat up straight, and seemed to have finally made a decision.
She was about to open her mouth, but was interrupted by a burst of music.
It turned out that Wang Chengdong’s cell phone rang.
Wang Chengdong quickly looked down at the phone screen and was stunned.
[Caller ID: Mr. Wu (Hong Kong Island)]
Wang Chengdong's expression changed, and he quickly said to Sun Yafang: "Sun, Mr. Sun, wait a minute!"
"Um?"
"Stop talking! Wait! Wait until I finish answering this call!"
With that said, Wang Chengdong got up and ran out of the conference room.
This move confused the others. What Wang Chengdong did was too reckless!
Sun Yafang murmured in her heart, who called? Is it so important?
