Chapter 153 Chips out of stock and prices soar

The impact of the overnight fire that destroyed the manufacturing plants of Woodsard, Dalang, and Portrad soon had a knock-on effect.

The island province media reported: "Meiguo Woods is currently the only company in the world that can produce high-end photoresist and its supporting reagents. The necessary materials for higher-end chips, it can be foreseen that whether it is Taiji Electronics or Four-Star Company, the production of seven-nanometer and five-nanometer process chips will definitely be limited. Intel, Fruit Company, Four-Star Company and others need to use seven-nanometer It is very likely that companies that manufacture chips and five-nm chips will be in a state of shutdown!"

"Next, let's interview Mr. Fang, the president of Taiji Electric Company! Hello, Mr. Fang, after the production factories of these three companies were destroyed by fire, will there be any impact on Taiji Electric Company?" The reporter handed the microphone to a middle-aged man In front of the man.

The middle-aged man nodded: "I don't know why this happened, and I am very sorry about it, because of the upstream supply chain problem, our company will no longer accept new foundries for seven-nanometer and five-nanometer process chips from now on We will try our best to complete the orders that we have received before, and if we cannot complete them due to the shortage of raw materials, we can only express our apologies and make corresponding compensations!"

After Taiji Electronics, Four Star Company also issued an official statement soon, saying that due to the shortage of high-end photoresist and its supporting reagents, seven-nanometer chips may face the problem of stopping production.

The Max company in the Netherlands is even worse. The production of three key components of cutting-edge lithography machines has been suspended because the factory of Dalang Company in Meiguo was destroyed by fire and cannot provide components. The company also faces a series of problems. For the lawsuit issue, they want to claim compensation from Dalang Company, and Taiji Electric and Four Star Company also want to claim compensation from them, and the two companies of Daoguo are also planning to sue.

As this series of news spread around the world, the prices of electronic products and equipment equipped with seven-nanometer process chips and five-nanometer process chips have risen a level within two days.

Because of the shortage of chips, manufacturers of these electronic products and equipment have to increase their prices to control sales. The purpose of controlling sales is of course not to let the company have no products to buy. Increasing sales can also obtain some more funds to maintain the operation of the company. .

In the past, only two to three thousand mobile phones were needed, but after only two days, they grew by more than two thousand, and sold more than five thousand mobile phones. Two days later, the prices on online platforms and physical stores reached seven to eight thousand, and some high-end mobile phones , computers, etc. have all increased by tens of thousands of dollars.

"Jingle Bell······"

Tang Xiaochuan picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Boss, Mr. Hua from a company called to talk to you!"

"Come in!"

"Okay, boss!"

"Drip——Mr. Tang, I am Huawei."

Tang Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Hua, why are you free to call me today?"

"Haha, you must know what happened in the past few days. It is said that Four Star Company and Taiji Electronics still have some photoresist and supporting reagents in stock, but the quantity is not much. Various companies are vying to bid, so the OEM The price of the chip has been quarreled to the sky, and the foundry contract signed by our two companies, is your company capable of completing it?"

Tang Xiaochuan immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hua, our Feitian Technology Company will not stop chip production because of the shortage of international high-end photoresist and supporting reagents, nor will it be because our company cannot purchase related products from the world." The production of raw materials has been discontinued, and we will find a way to solve this matter, and our company will deliver the 10 million pieces of 7nm and 6 million pieces of 5nm process chips in phases according to the time stipulated in the contract!"

"I'm relieved now..." Mr. Hua was relieved a little, hesitated and asked again: "Then the ex-factory price of the chip?"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "Mr. Hua, you also know the international market. Although the two of us have signed a contract and agreed on a purchase price, but now there are irresistible factors of manpower, and the cost of our company's chip production has also increased greatly, so this The ex-factory price may have to be increased, the specific price, our company will send someone to discuss with your company in detail, of course, this is not only for promising companies, we are also the same for several other purchasers, please understand President Hua!"

Mr. Hua said: "Understand, understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaochuan called his secretary and asked Liu Zhiyuan to come.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Liu Zhiyuan rushed over quickly.

Tang Xiaochuan got up and poured him a glass of water, "Just now I had a phone call with Mr. Hua of Youwei Company, and we talked about the supply of chips and the ex-factory price! Now, you can contact the bosses of these companies. Let's make an appointment for a time to talk, and want them to guarantee that there will be no problems with our chip supply, but the ex-factory price cannot be the original price. Now that the international chip price has reached sky-high prices, we can't do without raising the price, otherwise They will be mobbed and attacked! Besides, everyone has raised prices, if we don’t raise prices, wouldn’t we be ruining our fortunes?”

Liu Zhiyuan took the water glass and said: "Yes, I heard that the prices of mobile phones, computers and other electronic products and equipment equipped with seven-nanometer and five-nanometer process chips have skyrocketed. If our chips don't increase in price, wouldn't the money Let those electronic product manufacturers make money? We can't be so stupid, we are fools if we have money and don't make money!"

"Boss, to what extent is it appropriate to increase the price of this chip?"

After thinking for a while, Tang Xiaochuan said: "The price increase of electronic products cannot have no peak. If the price is too high and exceeds the limit that consumers can bear, sales will definitely be greatly affected. This is like a Chinese cabbage. You always It can’t be sold at 100 yuan a catty, can it? Therefore, manufacturers such as Youwei Company and Rice Company will definitely evaluate the market, and the highest price their products can be sold for. Our chip prices can be raised appropriately, or we have to give They let some benefits, so that they can survive!"

"clear!"

Liu Zhiyuan agreed, and then remembered something, and asked: "Boss, I had a meeting with several vice presidents yesterday. Someone suggested that the company should announce to the outside world that the company's production will not be affected in any way. On the one hand, it can expand its popularity. On the one hand, it can also give our customers some confidence, what do you think?"

Tang Xiaochuan thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Isn't it necessary to announce it? Now everyone knows that the three companies Woodsard, Dalang, and Portrad were destroyed overnight. If we announce at this time that our production will not Being affected will inevitably attract people's doubts about this matter to us, we are not afraid of people hating us, but we can't take the initiative to sow hatred, it would be bad to be the target of public criticism!"

After Liu Zhiyuan left, Tang Xiaochuan received a call from Tang Hanmin from Jiangcheng.

"Hey, is the company registration done?"

Tang Hanmin's voice came from the phone: "It has been registered. We have rented a three-story building in Huayu Building by the Linjiang River as the company's office space! At present, the government has a land of 2,800 mu. The expropriation was completed two years ago. At that time, it was planned to be used to build a large-scale industrial park, but it was put on hold for various reasons. When the official heard that we were planning to invest in building an automobile company, they took the initiative to find us. As the big boss of the company, I think you should come here Meet with the officials, take a look at this land, and make a decision yourself!"
