Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 68 The CEO of the fruit company came to thank me
As some netizens have said, Huayao is now certain that it can no longer buy advanced chips, including the Kirin 20 used in the Mate 990.

Although Kirin 990 is the flagship chip of this generation, Huayao will definitely have some inventory, but the inventory volume of chips will not be too high, and a few million will be the maximum.

Huayao will definitely use these stock chips sparingly and very carefully.

However, Huayao is now selling large quantities of Mate 20 phones without limit, both online and offline, which is very abnormal behavior.

If all the remaining Kirin 990 chips are used up, what will Huayao use to make mobile phones?
If Huayao fails to produce flagship phones, its mobile phone business will naturally be ruined.

There is only one explanation now, Huayao plans to give up its mobile phone business.

But is this possible?

Anyone who works in the tech industry thinks this is unlikely.

Huayao's mobile phone business is very profitable and has extremely high profits. It now contributes more than half of Huayao's revenue.

Now that the new semiconductor bill of the United States has just come into effect, although Huayao Mobile has encountered big troubles, it is far from the end of its rope. How could it surrender at the beginning?

Huayao’s psychedelic operation really confused many people.

In fact, even many people within Huayao Company do not quite understand the decisions made by the top management.

Most people were kept in the dark, and only a few knew the inside story, and Hu Jiangshan was one of them.

To be precise, Hu Jiangshan is the initiator of Huayao's abnormal behavior.

The reason why Huayao dares to release a large number of Mate 20 series mobile phones now is because new chips have finally arrived.

As the saying goes, with chips in hand, you never have to worry about anything.

Now, Huayao’s core executives have confirmed that Hu Jiangshan can mass-produce chips, and 990 Kirin chips are already in place.

Subsequent chip orders are also being produced smoothly.

Although it may not be able to fully meet Huayao's massive demand for chips, it has at least solved the supply problem.

In addition, recent public opinion is indeed very unfavorable to Huayao, which has made everyone in the company hold their breath and has also greatly affected morale. Therefore, the top management of Huayao chose to take a tough stance at this time to dampen the enthusiasm of these black fans.

I have to say, the effect is really great.

Although there are many voices on social media questioning Huayao's decision to openly sell mobile phones, there are more voices of surprise and confusion.

Naturally there is also a lot of pollen, excited praise and cheers.

There are still some topics mocking Huayao on Weibo, Toutiao, and his Zhihu, but the comment section is very interesting, and the blogger who posted the topic is ridiculed as worthless.

However, Hu Jiangshan also knew that Huayao could not continue to supply unlimited quantities of high-end mobile phones.

It would be good if at most one or two million Mate 20 phones could be released in the next few days.

Of course, if Huayao officially places a large chip order with Hu Jiangshan, such as a super large order of tens of millions of chips, Hu Jiangshan must be able to accept it and deliver it smoothly, which will be considered a solution to Huayao’s chip crisis.

gHu Jiangshan can do it in the future, it just depends on whether Huayao trusts him.

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, in Washington.

The weather is nice today, with blue sky, white clouds and bright sunshine.

The office building of the Ministry of Commerce of the United States seems to be shrouded in holy light, attracting attention.

In the office of the Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raimondo stood in front of the window with a cup of coffee, admiring the scenery outside.

There was a smile on Raymondo's face, which was happy and sweet, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

Raymondo certainly has the right to be happy, because several recent bills have been successfully passed, signed by the President, and the effects are very obvious.

In particular, the new semiconductor bill, which officially came into effect last month, has made it very difficult for rival technology companies. The situation has deteriorated day by day and is on the verge of collapse.

Raimondo placed his coffee cup on his desk and sat down.

Raymondo likes this chair very much because it is a massage chair. It has powerful functions, solid materials and is very ergonomic.

An occasional massage is very relaxing, and even Raymondo’s cervical spondylosis is less obvious.

God knows how much Raymondo loves this chair.

Interestingly, this massage chair is imported directly from China.

Although it is a high-end product, the price is very affordable.

Raymondo felt incredible that he could buy such an amazing massage chair at such a low price, and felt that he had gotten a great deal.

Of course, this was not actually purchased by Raymondo, but was purchased by the Ministry of Commerce.

Sometimes Raymondo really doesn't understand the Chinese.

Why can't the Chinese just concentrate on producing cool gadgets like massage chairs?

For example, toys, umbrellas, clothes, Christmas trees, or socks.

This is what the Chinese are good at.

Why do Chinese people want to touch high-tech that does not belong to them?

This is breaking the rules! It's totally unreasonable!
But it’s better this way. If everyone on Blue Star is a law-abiding person, then their Ministry of Commerce will have no work to do!
Just then, assistant Julie knocked on the door and came in.

"Julie, what's going on?"

"Ms. Raimondo, Mr. Hawke is here and he wants to see you."

Raymondo was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Hawke? Why is he here? What does he want to see me about?"

"He didn't say that. I think he wanted to express his gratitude to you. Ms. Raimondo, do you want to see him? If not, I can find an excuse to let him go back."

Raymondo waved his hand: "It's okay, since he's here, let him in."

"Yes, Ms. Raimondo."

With that, Julie went out.

Raymondo turned off the massage chair, stretched his body, and continued to sip his coffee leisurely, waiting for Hawke to arrive first.

Tiram Hawke is the CEO of Fruit Company.

Hawke himself is a very charming person and is very good at chatting. At least Raymondo doesn't hate Hawke, he even admires him.

Hawke's status is certainly high.

After all, the fruit company is one of the most powerful technology companies in the entire Blue Planet and one of the pillar companies supporting the Eagle Sauce economy.

For Hawke, federal officials like Raimondo cannot be neglected.

A moment later, Hawke arrived at Raymondo's office.

Hawke came alone, carrying a delicate little basket in his hand.

Raymondo smiled and said, "Welcome, Mr. Hawke."

Hawke said respectfully, "It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Raimondo."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Hawke handed the basket over.

Raymondo took a curious look and found that the basket contained several large apples.

Hawke smiled and explained: "This is an improved apple that was airlifted from Tanzhou. It is very sweet, crisp and delicious. Ms. Ruimondo can have a taste."

Raymondo nodded: "Thank you so much, Mr. Hawke, you seem to know that I like apples very much."
