Chapter 384: Troublemaker
Many people believe that William White is a troublemaker. If possible, it's best not to be like this.
In fact, these people couldn't be more wrong. Most of the troubles in this world are created by US imperialism.
Regardless of technology or manufacturing capabilities, the US imperialists after World War II were the most powerful on the planet. No matter how Maozi catches up, this gap is constantly widening. Coupled with the current Star Wars plan, it is estimated that Mao Zi is about to run out of breath.
The most puzzling thing is that since we know that the semiconductor industry is crucial, why not control it from the source. Now their own enterprises can't hold on, and the three companies that have tightened their footbasins have stopped production.
It's no wonder that William White complained that now the price of memory is jumping up and down. It doesn't feel like I'm buying any memory, this thing is more like seafood.
The big stick country has worked very hard, but it has not yet caught up with the technological gap. As for UMC, William White took it for granted that if there was no external help, there would be at least five years left.
William White now regrets that he should have taken over Motorola's business in the first place, and if he had his own key business, he wouldn't have to worry about these memory modules now.
As an end-user, the biggest headache is price changes. As for the technicalities, that's not something he needs to be concerned about. Dynamic memory has developed to this extent, and the technology has reached a point of realm.
After the advent of one megabyte memory, its capacity is simply leapfrogging. Since the three largest foot basin companies are not allowed to produce, William White believes that there will definitely be a big storm about this thing.
Then again, the footbasin man is cunning and cunning, and the big stick is not much better. In fact, everyone in the semiconductor industry plays the same game, they all want to squeeze their competitors to death first, and then they will start to get rich.
"Tom, it's not okay to go on like this, if the price of one trillion memory can't be effectively reduced, our follow-up products will be affected. ”
"Boss, now it's messy, the company of the foot basin is obviously in some mood, and now the yield rate has declined. ”
"Alas, I don't understand, what does it mean to change three companies, what benefits is this?" For the boss's complaint, Tom should not have heard it, and you can say it casually, if it spreads, it will definitely be another wave.
"Boss, UMC processing is okay, but the memory technology is too weak, their equipment is not as good as the foot basin, and the capital is not as good as that of the big stick country. Another problem is that they generally take a more conservative approach to overseas investment. ”
Well, Chinese entrepreneurs in this period were very afraid of international capital. In order to maintain their control over the business, they usually adopt a more conservative strategy.
"Tom, this matter is definitely not over, and when the big stick has the advantage, it will also be messed up. You go and talk to Filson about whether it is possible to take a stake in a European company. ”
"Okay, boss, I'll go talk to Filson. Tom left happily, he got the information he wanted, and it was clear that the owner didn't like expensive memory.
The situation reported by Tom was known to William White for a long time. The more awkward situation is that the technique of the footbasin man seems to be better.
If it weren't for this dilemma, William White would have ended up by himself, isn't it money, buddy is now poor and only has money left.
It is unreliable to hand over your weakness to the footbasin man, and it is even more ridiculous to hand it over to the country of big sticks. To put it bluntly, four stars are a large trust group. The only strange thing is that Lao Mei didn't do anything anti-monopoly for Mao.
Well, those guys are more glassy than the footbasin people, one is not good, all wipe their necks, and the US imperialists will be in big trouble.
The boss suddenly planned to engage in dynamic memory, and after knowing the news, Filson also had a pain in the egg. Isn't that a big investment? Besides, is this thing reliable?
Although he did not say that he would do it immediately, Fillson knew that the time to make a decision may be long, and the time to determine the investment may be short.
He's been selling stocks lately, so he naturally knows that the cash on hand of his boss is increasing. It's hard to say whether the investment is reliable or not, if you hold a knife in your hand, it is a proper loss-making transaction.
It is no secret to these people that there will be a sharp depreciation of the American knife. People or institutions that have a way are trying to find a way to borrow American knives, even if the interest rate is a bit high, they are not hesitating.
Everyone knows that borrowing money at this time is definitely very cost-effective. If you buy a Japanese yen asset now, the profit generated by the exchange rate is 100, and if you add the increase in the asset itself, the interest rate will be even higher.
In this environment, Latin American countries that are accustomed to lavish swords, where do they go to borrow American knives?
These guys are miserable, but William White is laid-back, and he has a lot of cash in his hand right now, so no one offends him. At this time, everyone is very fragile and will definitely not be able to withstand his destruction.
"Are you still shipping?"
"Yes, it seems that more than the United States is shipping, and his recent actions have been very frequent. ”
"It's strange, an automobile group, it doesn't seem to need this. Seeing that his subordinates wanted to stop talking, the old guy was also funny.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"His think tank is contacting semiconductor factories in Europe to see the posture, not to purchase products. It's more like an acquisition. ”
As soon as the words came out, the old guy of Da Mo was also depressed. We all know you're rich, but you don't have to be so willful, right?
He knows very well that these memory factories in the United States are basically in a dying struggle. I believe that it will not be too long before these production lines may be sold.
"This guy, how much does he not want to see the rice factory?"
"Boss, probably also on the fly, Motorola once tried to sell the memory division, he refused at the time. ”
"Alas, it was then, and he didn't have so much money at that time. Well, this is going to hide from the Ministry of Justice?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but the market will interpret it this way. ”
"Then good luck to them. ”
The Justice Department has changed its boss, but there is still no sign of easing relations, at least that's what the outside world sees. After all, they see themselves as justice, so there is no such thing as compromise.
Of course, don't think about losing face for a while. If they act now, they will die.
Doing business is understandable, and retaliation is a matter of personal vendettas. If you really want to report to Mr. God, this is a good idea.
In the United States, the most unprovoked is undoubtedly the Federal Reserve of the United States, followed by the top ten consortia. As for William White, let's be honest, his biggest threat comes from uncertainty.
Just like this anti-monopoly investigation, it may have been just a temptation by someone with a heart at first. You can rest assured, they would never have imagined such an ending.
The current situation will definitely make their situation extremely embarrassing. Admittedly, they didn't use much effort, but William White seems to be just a small test, and if a full-scale conflict really breaks out, this outcome is not easy to say.
