Chapter 433: Shocking Change: Chip Supply Cut-off

With the arrival of Hao Qiang, the business tycoons present all smiled warmly and rushed forward to greet him.

It's impossible not to pay attention to this super boss.

With a net worth of US$512 billion, he ranks third on the world's richest list.

This is data from November last year. After a few months, his wealth is estimated to have increased a lot.

This year, Hao Qiang is likely to ascend to the throne of the world's richest man!

"Hello, Mr. Hao! It's a pleasure to meet you!" said a middle-aged man in a well-fitting suit enthusiastically.

"Hello, Mr. Lu. You're welcome." Hao Qiang smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party.

The person in front of you is a regular on the top ten rich list in China, 48-year-old Lu Yang, with a net worth of about 30 billion yuan.

As soon as the handshake was over, other business giants also came forward: Ms. Yang from Biguiyuan, Mr. He from Meidi Group, Wangyi Dinglei, Mr. Zhang from Fuli Group, Zhang Yin from Jiulong Group, Jiang Zhidong from Tengxun, Boss Xu from Hengda, etc.

Guangdong City is home to many wealthy people, with 20 to 30 of them occupying the top 100 seats on the rich list alone.

All those who can attend the conference are on the domestic rich list, the helmsmen of Guangdong's state-owned enterprises or senior executives of Guangdong's international giant companies.

There were about hundreds of business elites in the audience. Surprisingly, Hao Qiang could accurately call out the name of each one, which surprised and honored some less well-known bosses.

Most of the participants were over 40 years old, and there were very few under 30 years old.

Hao Qiang is not only the youngest, but also the most famous one.

Wang Fuyang, Qiu Hai and others followed Hao Qiang closely and acted as his younger brothers.

Wang Fuyang runs a motorcycle parts factory and has cooperated with Future Motorcycle Company for many years. His personal wealth is worth several hundred million yuan.

Qiu Hai is Hao Qiang's father-in-law. Hao Qiang has taken good care of him in the past two years, and his personal wealth has exceeded 500 million yuan.

By following Hao Qiang and becoming familiar with him, other big guys may cooperate with them for Hao Qiang's sake.

This Guangdong Business Conference is also a platform for business networking.

After a while, Hao Qiang also met Wang Chuanfu and the two shook hands tightly.

Wang Chuanfu and Hao Qiang are partners and also friends regardless of age. They drink tea together whenever they have time.

"Lao Wang, new cars are selling well this month."

"More than 10,000 cars, how can we compare to you? The profit from selling five cars is not as much as the profit from selling one of your cars."

"Our R&D costs are high and the risks are great."

"I haven't even recovered my investment yet. I can only say I'm making money once sales reach 200,000 units."

Han Yuan and Wang Chuanfu flattered each other, and the people around them just laughed and agreed.

It's impossible to tell the truth in a public place like this.

In private, I would reveal 80% to 90% of the information, leaving 10% to 20% for the other party to imagine.

Hao Qiang chatted with the business tycoons present and did not put on airs.

Some people also asked him about financing cooperation to see if there were any opportunities.

Hao Qiang handled the enthusiasm and speculation from all sides with ease, half true and half false.

After half an hour,

The Guangdong Business Conference officially began, and leaders of the Guangdong Provincial Government attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches:

“Dear guests, comrades:

On the occasion of the opening of the Second Guangdong Businessmen Conference, on behalf of..., I would like to extend my warm congratulations to the convening of the conference.

I would like to extend my sincere greetings to the Guangdong business representatives attending the conference and to the vast number of Guangdong businessmen from all over the world, and express my heartfelt gratitude to friends from all walks of life who have long been concerned about and supported the reform and development of Guangdong Province.

Since ancient times, generations of Guangdong businessmen who dared to take risks, try new things and be the first to do so have invested and started businesses in the land of South Guangdong, worked hard to travel north and west in the embrace of the motherland, and ventured and worked hard around the world.

No matter where they go, they always keep their hearts in the motherland and their hometowns, always connected by blood and sharing prosperity with their homeland. They have become an important force for the reform and development of Guangdong Province and an important link for Guangdong Province to connect with the world..."

It seems like a lot of content, but it’s all official language.

After listening to it, I felt that there was no real information at all.

This is the leader’s speech.

Otherwise, if you say something wrong, you will be in big trouble.

Then, the leaders of the relevant departments came to the stage to deliver speeches, but the content was also meaningless.

However, Hao Qiang listened with great interest.

This is the art of language. You have to learn it well. Maybe it will come in handy someday.

Last year, he was selected as a representative of the Provincial Renda University.

In the past few years, Hao Qiang didn't want to play the role of a representative of Renda University, and he just didn't want to attend meetings.

Otherwise, it might have spread across the country.

After the two speakers above finished speaking, it was Hao Qiang's turn to speak.

As the representative of the richest man in Asia and the richest man in the country, Hao Qiang's appearance was undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.

He was dressed in a well-fitting suit and walked slowly towards the podium with a calm and confident smile on his face.

The whole audience burst into thunderous applause, demonstrating the participants' respect and expectations for him.

Hao Qiang nodded gracefully to everyone around him, then stood in front of the podium.

He looked around the room, thought for a moment, and then began his speech:

"Dear leaders, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

Today, we gather together to discuss the future development of Guangdong businessmen around the world.

In this era of both opportunities and challenges, we need to unite and collaborate, and bravely step onto the international stage."

Hao Qiang's voice is steady, powerful and infectious.

He spoke eloquently and shared his unique insights on the development of Guangdong businessmen:

"Guangdong businessmen have always been the backbone of China's economic development.

We are hardworking, intelligent, and daring to be the first. Facing new historical opportunities, we must continue to carry forward this spirit, actively embrace change, and be brave to innovate...&34;

Hao Qiang cleverly integrated the views of the two previous leaders without leaving any trace and avoiding blunt flattery.

He then turned the topic to the importance of technological innovation:

“The future belongs to technology and will always belong to technology.

We have established this concept since the founding of Future Technology Group.

Before investing in ternary lithium batteries, I thought deeply about the future trend of fuel vehicles...&34;

Hao Qiang started by talking about his own entrepreneurial experience, expounded on the company's technological philosophy, and focused on depicting the blueprint of the future automotive ecosystem.

Finally, he concluded: "As Guangdong businessmen, we must increase investment in scientific and technological innovation and promote industrial upgrading.

Only by continuous innovation can we remain invincible in the fierce international competition. Thank you all.”

After Hao Qiang finished speaking, there was applause.

The entrepreneurs present nodded in agreement, impressed by his foresight.

Of course, many people think he is lucky.

Many companies have also invested a lot of money in scientific research, but have not produced any results.

After a few times, these bosses felt that their company was not suitable for scientific research, so they reduced their investment in scientific research, entered a vicious cycle, and finally simply became OEM factories.

That Fuji bran is still made well.

In fact, Fujitsu has also invested heavily in scientific research.

After Hao Qiang finished speaking, another representative took over and spoke, which also meant the official end of the speech.

Communication and discussion of cooperation are the formal steps.

Many entrepreneurs rushed to communicate with Hao Qiang, hoping to get cooperation.

The Guangdong Businessmen Conference lasts for one day, with a tea party and buffet at noon, and small team discussions and investment negotiations in the afternoon.

The local government leaders brought these people together in order to attract investment.

After attending this conference, Hao Qiang also gained some benefits.

But at his level, it is just icing on the cake.

In the following period of time, Hao Qiang focused on the EBL lithography machine.

Time passed slowly and soon it was the end of April.

The company has assembled three single crystal furnaces and started mass production of single crystal silicon rods.

The machining plant has prepared hundreds of devices and started mass production of wafers.

Hao Qiang's first-phase requirement is to produce 100,000 pieces per month, which requires three single crystal furnaces.

On the machining side, 60 automatic wire cutting machines are needed, but the company is unable to produce so many devices for the time being and currently only has 25.

The automotive chip Qinglong 8124 has reached the final stage of research and development, but the most critical EBL lithography machine has not yet been developed.

The actual progress is only 50%!

It's still a long way from success.

With luck, it will be successfully developed by the end of this year;

If you're unlucky, the timing is uncertain.

On the afternoon of April 30,

When Hao Qiang was concentrating on his work in the laboratory, an urgent call from Luo Hao, general manager of Future New Energy Vehicle Company, interrupted his thoughts.

"Chairman, something big has happened!

Gaotong Company suddenly stopped supplying automotive chips and refused to continue cooperating with us." Luo Hao's voice was filled with anxiety.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Qiang froze in place, unable to believe it.

Luo Hao explained anxiously, "We just received a notice that our US-based team is communicating with Gaotong's senior management, but they politely declined, saying they were powerless. They are willing to compensate for the undelivered portion as agreed."

Chairman, it is very likely that the US government is behind this.

It was so sudden, what a fucking bastard! "

Hao Qiang suppressed his anger and responded briefly: "I'll discuss this in detail when I get back to the office."

Then he hurriedly put away the work at hand.

A few minutes later, Hao Qiang hurried back to the office and found Luo Hao already waiting.

He poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and after calming down, he asked, "How many chips do we have left in stock?"

Luo Hao said solemnly: "After an urgent check, there are about 15.2 units, and another 5.5 units have not yet been delivered.

Chairman, if the supply is interrupted for a long time, we can only produce hundreds of thousands of vehicles at most.

Without chips, the entire production line will come to a halt.

I'm afraid the second phase of the car factory will also have to stop production."

Hao Qiang rubbed his temples, thinking about the underlying reasons why Gaotong Company would rather pay compensation than cut off supply.

"What a plan to wipe out the entire family!" he cursed inwardly.

Automotive chips have always relied on the supply of Gaotong Company.

Although the development of EBL lithography machines is underway, even if it is successfully completed this year, mass production will have to wait until next year.

This means there will be a chip supply gap for at least a few months, and this is the most optimistic estimate.

Hao Qiang realized that if the development of the EBL lithography machine did not go smoothly, their new energy vehicle project might fail completely.

This sudden blow casts the entire company's future into a shadow.

“I anticipated this day coming a long time ago.

But I didn't expect it to come so suddenly and so quickly!" Hao Qiang sneered and told Luo Hao about the current progress of chip research and development.

Future Technology Group has been going smoothly, but finally encountered difficulties.

Luo Hao said solemnly, "Chairman, perhaps the US already knows that we are working on wafers and chips."

“Well, with such a big move on our side, they must have known about it a long time ago.

Now, they probably know we're close to producing results and want to interrupt our research and development." Hao Qiang nodded.

After a moment of silence, he decided to call John, the CEO of Gaotong Company, and ask him personally.

At this time, the American Gaotong Company was at night.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Mr. Hao Qiang, I know why you are here.

We are very sorry, but we have no choice but to terminate our cooperation.

As for compensation, our company will pay it.

To be honest, our losses were also very heavy.”

When Hao Qiang heard what the other party said, he knew that it was impossible to save the situation. He asked in a deep voice: "John, can you tell me what the reason is?"

"You should be able to guess what it means and why."

The other party was vague and didn't say it clearly. What an old fox.

Hao Qiang said a few words, but didn't say anything harsh, and ended the call.

"Mr. Luo, please proceed with production according to the plan. We won't announce this matter publicly yet, to avoid causing unrest within the company," Hao Qiang said. "However, I suspect the foreigner will take the initiative to announce this news."

"Okay, I understand. I will keep calm. Please rest assured, Chairman!" Luo Hao knew that the situation was irreversible and could only try his best to do his job well.

If the top management is panicking, then there will definitely be chaos below.

The next day,

The American Gaotong Company announced that it would terminate its supply to Future Technology Group.

After the news was made public, global automotive peers and media were shocked, and many car companies gloated over the misfortune.

Future Car Company is doomed!

A new book titled "Reborn with a Synthesizer, What's Wrong with Me?" was released on National Day. Everyone is welcome to collect it.

This book will be temporarily suspended. I will come back to write the old book when I am in the mood, but the update time is uncertain. I apologize to everyone.

But this book must be finished. It can’t be left with a beginning and an end, and I don’t want it to end badly.

No matter what, I have to explain the situation clearly to all of you brothers.

If the book is finished, the status will change. If not, I still want to continue writing.
