Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Chapter 436: Deep in the quagmire, internal and external troubles

5 month 4 day,

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was warm and the breeze was gentle, and Shenzhen welcomed a sunny morning.

Pengcheng Persimmon Mayor Zhou Ze came to the headquarters of Future Technology Group in order to personally visit the group's chairman Hao Qiang.

This visit is to convey the government's support and concern on behalf of the government at a time when Future Technology Group is facing a chip supply crisis and attracting worldwide attention.

Although Zhou Ze had already expressed his condolences to Hao Qiang over the phone, he still had to go there in person.

This is not only a support for Future Technology Group, but also sends a clear signal to the whole society: the government firmly supports the development of local high-tech enterprises.

As the largest private enterprise in Shenzhen, Future Technology Group has become one of the world's top 500 companies. Its breakthrough progress in the field of high-tech has not only won honor for Shenzhen, but also broken the international monopoly in certain aspects of technology.

Faced with the difficulties faced by such an important enterprise, the government's attitude and actions are naturally attracting much attention.

If the government stands idly by at this time, it will not only make Future Technology Group feel isolated and helpless, but may also shake the confidence of the entire high-tech industry.

Therefore, at this turbulent moment, the government’s attitude is crucial.

The two met, exchanged greetings for a while, and then went to the chairman's office on the 37th floor.

In the office, Hao Qiang personally poured tea for Zhou Ze. The rich aroma of tea slowly spread in the air, which seemed to dilute the slightly tense atmosphere.

The two of them drank tea and chatted, and the topic naturally turned to the current chip crisis.

Zhou Ze listened carefully to Hao Qiang's detailed report on the company's current difficulties, and nodded from time to time to express his understanding.

He said the government has been closely following the development of the situation and is taking active action at all levels to coordinate resources to help Future Technology Group overcome the difficulties.

Of course, it is impossible for the government to really solve the problem of chip supply.

But attitude is a must.

"Mr. Hao, please believe that the government is on your side," Zhou Ze said firmly, "We will never sit idly by and watch our country's technology companies being treated unfairly.

Whether it's international negotiations or domestic support, we will do our best."

"Thank you country, thank you leaders for your concern." Hao Qiang smiled slightly. These words from the leader were enough.

He did not disclose the research and development work on monocrystalline silicon and chips to the city government leaders.

After all, now is not the time to reveal all the secrets.

He thought it would be wise to let the bullet fly for a while and wait for the right time to act.

Moreover, the research and development of EBL lithography machine has not yet been successful, and it seems a bit premature for him to talk about these things.

Although he has a golden finger in his hand, he still needs to be more cautious when facing complex technical challenges.

The two men's talks lasted nearly two hours and covered a wide range of topics, from short-term crisis response to long-term development strategies.

When Zhou Ze left, Hao Qiang stood in front of the French window, looking at the sea view in the distance, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

His determination became stronger and stronger, and he decided to devote all his efforts to the research and development of his own chips.

Once Future Technology Group demonstrates its cutting-edge technology, it will inevitably arouse the fear of certain countries, and the restrictions on it and the company will become more severe and overbearing.

Therefore, the urgency of having security continued to rise in his heart.

Hao Qiang pondered for a long time and opened the writing system.

【Writing System】(2011.5.4)

[Level 9: 5950/10000 million]

System Level 9: Every 1 words written = 50000 yuan reward

……

[Wealth: 2157 billion yuan (including unwithdrawn cash and undisclosed stocks calculated based on purchase value)]

Memory: 25

Thinking Power: 27

[Appearance: 22]

[Physique: 25]

【Four-dimensional attribute: 99】

[Free attribute points: 0]

……

The four-dimensional attribute is only 1 point away from opening the next level 9 technology store, and I don’t know what kind of black technology will be in the next level.

But to reach level 9, you still need 3 free attribute points.

First, wealth must increase to 3000 billion yuan, and the reward is +3 free attribute points;

Second, strive to become the richest man in the world this year, and you will be rewarded with +5 free attribute points;

Third, if your company makes it into the top 200 of the Fortune 500, you will be rewarded with +3 free attribute points;

The fourth is the upgrade of the writing system, which is too long.

In addition to the above four methods, there is one last method, which I will not mention here.

Upgrading the Gold Finger becomes increasingly difficult in the later stages, as if every upgrade is like climbing a steep peak.

However, compared to the immortal cultivators in those novels, Hao Qiang was secretly glad.

He thought that if that were the case, it might take decades or even hundreds of years of trials and tribulations before one could be promoted to the next level, which was really unbearable.

Hao Qiang was silent for a while, his mind churning with thoughts.

He changed into work clothes and took a walk to the EBL lithography machine laboratory.

He personally launched this project in March last year, but the company had already started preparing for it in the previous two years and he had also devoted a lot of effort to it.

Now, after more than a year of hard work, the EBL lithography machine project has finally entered the late stage of assembly, with the overall progress reaching 75%.

However, Hao Qiang also knows that even if it is close to 99.99%, it does not mean success.

As he had experienced on Pinxixi, the last point is often the trickiest.

It's so exciting, yet so disgusting.

"Chairman, you are here!" The laboratory staff looked up and saw Hao Qiang's figure, and they couldn't help but feel more confident.

They know that the company is currently facing huge difficulties and all hopes are pinned on them. The pressure is like a heavy burden, making it difficult for them to breathe.

They dare not share such things with their family and friends, and they cannot blame each other in front of their colleagues for fear of affecting each other's morale.

Therefore, repressed emotions can only grow slowly in the heart and turn into an invisible burden.

So, when you feel stressed but can't express it, you can only vent it in other ways.

It’s okay if you have a wife or a girlfriend, but if not, you can only solve the problem in other ways.

"Hello everyone!" Hao Qiang's voice was like a gentle spring breeze. "Let's talk about the problems we encountered these past two days. We should take it one step at a time. There's no need to rush for success, nor should we be influenced by external factors. We shouldn't put too much pressure on ourselves, as this will only affect our normal R&D thinking."

He glanced around, his eyes full of encouragement. "The company has long been prepared for a period of six months to a year without chip supply. As long as we steadily advance according to plan and complete the task, that will be the greatest victory."

After hearing the chairman's encouragement, the tension in the laboratory's researchers' hearts eased a lot.

I'm really afraid that the chairman will push them to death.

Now the chairman is not in a hurry to achieve success. His calmness and composure make them feel at ease.

During the two or three days of the holiday, although everyone was resting on the surface, in fact, everyone was thinking about the difficulties at work.

Hao Qiang didn't waste any time and quickly got into the problem-solving state.

They all understood that time was running out, and if they encountered unsolvable problems, the wisest option would be to seek help from the chairman.

We have to admit that Hao Qiang has a quick mind. When faced with various difficult problems, he can always find solutions in a short time.

It can be said that the current progress of the project is inseparable from the efforts and contributions made by the chairman in key technical links.

In the next few days,

Hao Qiang devoted all his energy to the EBL lithography machine project.

With the efforts of him and his team, the progress moved forward little by little. By May 10, the total progress had advanced by another 1%.

Although this may seem insignificant, every small progress is the result of the hard work of countless people.

In the past few days, the sales of Future Cars have been affected to a certain extent.

If a car is discontinued, its second-hand market will inevitably be severely impacted, and car owners will be even more worried, fearing that their beloved cars will break down at a critical moment and they will not be able to find suitable parts.

Of course, the discontinuation of Future Auto's production is not due to sales issues, but due to chip shortages. Most consumers still have confidence in Future Technology Group.

As long as the chip is not broken, everyone else can get parts.

In fact, this incident has aroused the enthusiasm of the people for domestic cars. Everyone has begun to pay attention to domestic brands and look forward to the rise of domestic products.

After the May Day holiday, the mass production of monocrystalline silicon also began to get back on track.

The company continues to expand its machining equipment and increase wafer production capacity, and batches of wafers produced are carefully stored in the warehouse.

For this type of product, there seems to be no concept of warranty period, and the demand for high-purity wafers in the international market has always been in short supply.

Even if you don't use them yourself, you won't have trouble selling them.

Regarding future cars, Hao Qiang has made a decisive decision: even if faced with the dilemma of no chips available, he will continue to produce cars.

Some parts that are difficult to preserve can be suspended from production or ordering, while those parts that can be handled flexibly can be installed quickly after the chips arrive.

In this way, although they will face huge pressure on inventory and funds in the short term and even occupy a large amount of space, Hao Qiang believes that such a strategy will enable them to respond quickly when the chip supply is restored and regain lost market share.

The vacant land situation of Future Technology Group is also very optimistic.

Of the 8,000 acres of industrial land originally requisitioned, 2,000 acres have not yet been put into construction. Now they have been transformed into a solid site and can be used for various needs at any time.

In addition, Pengcheng has reserved 10,000 acres of industrial land for Future Technology Group, which can be requisitioned at any time.

A few days later, it was May 15th.

Future Technology Group's legal team conducted in-depth negotiations with Gaotong Company's senior management.

After several rounds of negotiations, we finally successfully obtained a penalty of US$3 million for the company, and the funds have been deposited into the company's account.

This compensation amount is equivalent to twice the deposit for the goods, which sounds like a considerable sum.

However, facing the current dilemma of no chips available, the $3 million compensation seems insignificant.

If calculated based on the production stagnation, Future Technology Group may face losses of hundreds of billions of yuan every year.

Therefore, even such compensation cannot make up for the huge economic losses caused by the lack of core components.

Although Gaotong was finally willing to pay compensation, the other party would not take the initiative to pay compensation if he did not take the initiative to negotiate.

So, it is not an easy thing to actually get real money.

Hao Qiang sat in the office, listening to the report from the legal team and saying a few words of encouragement and reward.

In any case, $3 million in compensation is a very large sum of money, enough to make Gaotong Company feel distressed for a long time.

It is not clear whether the United States has compensated Gaotong Company.

During this time,

The outside world's attention to Future Technology Group has gradually weakened, and it seems that everyone has tacitly accepted that the company's chip problem has no solution.

Related reports gradually died down, and even some citizens began to forget about the incident.

At Future Automobile Company, the inventory of automotive chips is decreasing, and General Manager Luo Hao is feeling increasingly heavy-hearted.

Although he was anxious, he was powerless.

The launch of the ES7 in October last year triggered hot sales, which continued the company's glory.

However, immediately afterwards, Future Technology Group began to develop the large SUV Future ES8. Although this R&D project was not interrupted, the staff of the R&D department felt tremendous pressure under the shadow of chip shortage.

What if the car is built but has no core, wouldn’t it be just an empty shell?

"Damn the United States, they cut off our chips at every turn, they are so overbearing!" Luo Hao came back from patrolling the workshop, the pent-up anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, he sat in the office drinking tea in a depressed mood.

He cursed helplessly. Apart from venting his anger, there seemed to be no other solution. He could only wait patiently for the chairman's follow-up arrangements.

In such a predicament, all he could do was to maintain the status quo step by step and try to comfort and encourage the employees around him.

There are rumors that Future Motors is about to go bankrupt, and many people are pessimistic about the prospects of Future Technology Group. Some even jump out to sneer and ridicule the company's arrogance when it launched its new car.

"Haha, how arrogant they were in the beginning, how miserable they are now." Many people think so.

Luo Hao thought to himself that there would always be someone who would take advantage of the situation at this time.

He understood that if the automobile company really went bankrupt, he, as the general manager, would also be doomed.

At this moment, the most anxious people are undoubtedly all the employees of Future Automobile Company. Their future is at jeopardy and the road ahead is unknown.

Zhang Hai is an ordinary employee of Future Automobile Company.

When he went home for the Chinese New Year this year, relatives and friends looked at him with envy when they heard that he worked in this company.

Even classmates who he rarely interacted with began to contact him, hoping to take this opportunity to work in the future of automobiles.

However, in the past few days, Zhang Hai heard his good classmates tell him that two or three classmates were privately mocking him: "The glory is only temporary. He might be unemployed in half a year. What's there to be proud of?

The introduction to the future company was dragged out, and there was no human touch from old classmates at all."

These words were like thorns that pierced deeply into Zhang Hai's heart, but he didn't say anything.

What’s the use of recommendation? He doesn’t run the HR department.

Do you think you can join our company just by wanting to? It was so hard and so lucky for me when I first got in.

Now, Zhang Hai is very eager for the company to solve the problem of no available chips, and he is severely hitting these former classmates.

If you can't bear to see others living a good life, then disgust them.

5 month 20 day,

A report about Future Technology Group, with pictures and evidence, shocked domestic netizens.
