"I have a new quotation from Feitian Technology Group here, and I bought it from my friend from Apple for five thousand dollars!" Secretary An Hongyuan said.

Chen Zhengqi immediately asked: "Where is it? Don't worry, I will let the financial department reimburse you!"

An Hongyuan had already turned on his laptop. He opened a portal, logged in, clicked on his mailbox, and opened an email in the inbox. The title was: "Feitian Technology Group's New Quotation Plan"

"Mr. Chen, look, this is the quotation plan!" After An Hongyuan finished speaking, he turned his laptop to face Chen Zhengqi.

Chen Zhengqi immediately began to look, and the more he looked, the more he frowned, but at the end he gasped.

"How is it possible? Is this kind of quotation still profitable? What does Feitian Technology Group want to do? Is that boy Tang Xiaochuan crazy? He has come up with such a quotation. He is going to fight us at a loss!" Chen Zhengqi said. As he spoke, he clenched his fist angrily and slammed it on the desk.

An Hongyuan was taken aback by the punch, and said in his heart that it was lucky that the punch didn't hit me.

"Mr. Chen, no matter what you say, judging from this quotation plan, Feitian Technology Group definitely has good intentions. They are going to kill us at Taiji Electronics!"

At this moment, Chen Zhengqi felt like a mountain was pressing on him, and he was about to be out of breath. Since Feitian Technology Group has successively developed 5nm and 3nm chips, for some reason, Taiji Electric’s upstream raw material supplier Suddenly it was over, because there was no raw material, Taiji Electronics was unable to produce high-end chips for the past two years, so the loss was huge, and it could barely maintain it by producing chips above 7 nanometers. Until now, Taiji Electronics’ stock price is still at a low level. at extremely low prices.

In the past two years, Chen Zhengqi has not made much achievements in the operation of the company. Even if he has an idea, he is only a general manager, with a chairman and a board of directors on top. Moreover, the company also loses due to the inability to produce 5nm and 7nm chips. A lot of profits have been made, and funds are very tight. In the past two years, there has been no progress in chip research and development. Fortunately, a 3-nanometer chip has finally been produced, but this 3-nanometer chip is only equivalent to Feitian Technology in terms of performance and energy consumption. 5 nanometers.

This 3nm sounds very high-end and high-end. It’s okay to fool ordinary people who don’t understand performance and energy consumption parameters at all. People who know a little bit will know that this 3nm is not at the same level as Feitian Technology’s 3nm. The presence.

In Chen Zhengqi's view, Feitian Technology Group's new quotation plan can be said to have hit the fate of Taiji Electronics. It is completely blocked. If the quotation of Taiji Electronics for 3nm chips cannot be lower than that of Feitian Technology for 5nm, then there will be no orders at all. Because the performance and energy consumption of the two are equivalent, Taiji Electronics will not be able to lower the price of Feitian Technology. If there is no advantage, there will be no customers purchasing its 3nm at all!

Chen Zhengqi frowned, "They actually lowered the price of 5nm to such an extent, Xiao An, you can find someone to figure out whether our 3nm price can be set at this price, if we can set the price at this price Then we still have a chance to compete with Feitian Technology, but if we can’t hit this price, we have no chance of winning at all, because the market has been dominated by Feitian Technology for two years, and customers have already It is easy to use their chips and get used to it, and it is difficult to win customers back from them without a price advantage!"

An Hongyuan shook his head: "Mr. Chen, I have already done the calculations. After deducting all expenses, if we quote at this price, we will lose everything! Now our 3-nanometer tape-out is not over yet. Based on the current situation Look, after the tape-out is completed, the yield rate will not be too high, and it is impossible to optimize the production technology in a short period of time! On the contrary, Feitian Technology's 5nm production technology is quite mature, and the yield rate is frighteningly high, so they Dare to hit the price to this point, I suspect that even if they hit the price to this point, they will still make a profit, if we forcefully launch the production of 3 nanometers, we will lose as much as we invest!"

Hearing the secretary's words, Chen Zhengqi felt a sense of sadness in his heart. When did the once world's largest semiconductor manufacturer become difficult?

"Could it be that our 3nm tape-out has not been completed, so we have to die? Feitian Technology's move is really too ruthless!" Chen Zhengqi's face was extremely lonely, and his figure looked very bleak.

Although Feitian Technology Group's quotation is only for customers at home and abroad, the news spread quickly and quietly, and it is unknown who first posted the quotation plan on the Internet. The share price of the stock market immediately fell sharply.

Wall Street elites who held stocks of Teji Electronics, Four Star Group and other high-end chip manufacturers sold their stocks one after another. Those retail investors received the news late, and by the time the retail investors realized it, the stock price had already fallen a lot.

Compared with the tragic situation of Taiji Electronics, Four Star Group is much better. Although the stock price of Four Star has fallen, the decline is not as large as that of Taiji Electric. Four Star Group is not only an electronics company that produces chips, but involves many industries. Even if the business of chip production is cut off, it can't do much harm to it.

The most unlucky thing is Taiji Electronics. Its main business is chip manufacturing and foundry. It no longer has a leading edge in manufacturing technology. What is Taiji Electronics doing? Why did the financial players sell their Taiji Electronics shares after getting Feitian Technology Group's latest chip quotation plan?

As the largest shareholder of Taiji Electric, the board members of Philips couldn't sit still after learning of Feitian Technology's actions and the sharp drop in Taiji Electric's stock price.

At the impromptu meeting of the board of directors, many directors believed that Taiji Electronics might not be able to sustain it. After the main business road was blocked by Feitian Technology, it was impossible to maintain the current situation by only relying on the profits from the production of chips above 7 nanometers. Factories with a large scale cannot support all the existing scientific research personnel.

On the board of directors, some directors proposed to sell their shares in Taiji Electric, but it was necessary to find an opponent who was willing to take over the offer. However, the valuation of the shares is still somewhat difficult, because the stock price in the stock market is falling at any time, and when the stock price is unstable, It's hard to find companies willing to take over.

The opinion of the board of directors was quickly passed on to the company’s director representative in Taiji Electronics through special channels, and suggested to the board of directors of Taiji Electronics to cut off the chip production plan of 3nm, 5nm, and 7nm, and close these factories. Workers undergo mass layoffs to save money.

At this point, whether it is the people of Philips, the people of Taiji Electronics, or even the outside world, it is completely impossible for Taiji Electronics to compete with Feitian Technology in the chip field, because it is impossible to keep up. Without this qualification to play in the ring.

Unless Taiji Electronics now has a mature technology that surpasses Feitian Technology's 3nm chips, and can mass-produce it at a greatly reduced cost, otherwise it will not be able to do Feitian Technology anyway, because Feitian Technology only needs to release the 3-nanometer chip again. With the right to sell nano-process chips globally and with a sharp price cut, Taiji Electronics will still be ruined.

But who knows that Feitian Technology has actually carried out technical reserves - 3 nanometers +, this news has not been known to anyone except Tang Xiaochuan and Feitian Technology's senior management.

Chen Zhengqi, the general manager of Taiji Electronics, felt that his head was about to explode, because he had received several consecutive calls just now, all of which were cancellation orders from customers. The market's plans fell through.

Just now, the top executives of Apple called him personally and canceled the order of two million 5nm foundry chips. This gave Chen Zhengqi a slap in the face. In terms of chip foundry, Apple has always given orders to Taiji Electronics, but this time, Apple really gave up Taiji Electronics.

When the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, the world is so cold!

After Apple, Intel, Dell, and companies from various countries that had previously placed orders with TSMC all called to cancel the orders one after another. Taiji Electric’s project to resume supplying 5nm and 7nm to the market was forced to interrupt, resulting in losses. heavy!

After this series of blows, Taiji Electric had to convene a board meeting to discuss what to do next.

After more than two consecutive days of meeting discussions, the board of directors of Taiji Electronics decided to interrupt the tape-out of 3nm chips, cut off the production of 5nm and 7nm chips, and lay off some scientific researchers who did not help the company's technology research and development. And a large number of middle and low-level managers and workers.

At this time, no one cares about the shares of Taiji Electric. Philips, the major shareholder of Taiji Electric, can't find a buyer if it wants to transfer its shares, and at this time, the price must be high. The price of cabbage.

Feitian Technology Group.

When eating in the company cafeteria at noon that day, Liu Zhiyuan came over with a plate and sat opposite Tang Xiaochuan. The cafeteria was bustling with managers and employees eating.

"Boss, just received the news that Taiji Electronics held a board meeting and decided to stop the tape-out of 3-nanometer chips. After all, tape-out is too expensive! In addition, they also decided to completely cut off the production of 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer. A large number of factories, many scientific researchers in their R\u0026D departments are facing speculation, and a large number of front-line workers are also facing unemployment!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "I have already anticipated this situation, and now it can only linger on. As long as we persist for a while, it will completely give up high-end chips! But, will we be called a monopoly if we do this?"

Liu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile while eating and said, "Is technology monopoly an illegal monopoly? Does it mean that our company should share technology with other domestic and foreign companies? Then why do we spend so much effort on technology research and development? Why don't we just sit and wait?" Let other companies share the technology with us!"
