Chapter 448: Dilemma

Chapter 448 Dilemma

"Well, it's about limiting the scope of the enterprise. Needless to say, Walkers International Investment and Walker Holdings also include wholly-owned companies under them. Plus, add Charm Tech and Boulder Tech. Personnel, just limit it to the middle level and above. ”

Hu Yang did not include companies such as Xintong International and Mingkang Communications in this plan for the time being, but all the senior executives of Huijia enjoy this qualification.

"Okay, I see, boss. ”

Lin Yan immediately understood Hu Yang's intentions, this is a means to add another "chain" to all the elites of the Huijia system.

However, this chain is made of profit.

"Well, you go get busy first, and give it to me when the plan is ready. ”

Hu Yang waved his hand and sent Lin Yan away.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Yan is here, you see?"

Not long after, Mickey knocked on the door and walked in. She didn't rest today, and her boss was still working, so she naturally wouldn't shout that she was tired.

"Let him in. ”

Hu Yang smiled and shook his head, this Yan Hanzhang is very well-informed. As soon as he returned, he came.

"Mr. Hu, I didn't plan to come up and disturb you today. However, Charisma Semiconductor has just received news that the latest DRAM product designed by the design team has failed again. ”

After Yan Hanzhang entered the house, his expression was very serious, and sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he brought bad news.

The flash memory technology of Charm Semiconductor is generally not bad, and its technology source comes from Toshiba's technology transfer.

After such a long period of technology accumulation, Charm Semiconductor has actually embarked on a technical path of its own. Although it is not as good as international giants such as S star, it should not be underestimated.

Compared to flash memory, the development of the company's DRAM technology is much more difficult. 27 has provided some of the basic technologies, and Charismatic Semiconductor has also developed its own products. It's just that the current technology is still very backward, and it only solves the problem of whether there is or not.

Charm Semiconductor has always wanted to upgrade its technology on this basis, but the result is just like the news brought by Yan Hanzhang today, all of them have failed.

After hearing what he said, Hu Yang also shook his head gloomily.

S star is a product deliberately supported by the United States during the semiconductor war between the United States and Japan. There is both technology transfer and financial support.

But Charm Semiconductor is different, it is a real self-made man. In terms of flash memory, due to Toshiba's technology source, the starting point is relatively high. DRAM, on the other hand, is more difficult to run on two legs to catch up with the rhythm of a car.

"Mr. Yan, let them find the reason again. Failure is not a big deal, but we must be good at summing up lessons and lessons, and failure is the mother of success. ”

What else can Hu Yang say? Technically, things are like this, and stepping past it is a flat river. If you can't get through, you will suffer heavy losses.

Every time from R&D design to finalization, a lot of manpower, material and financial resources need to be invested. A failure is equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars in waste. But you can't stop, and if you stop, you're giving up.

It's hard!

Yan Hanzhang nodded silently, and there was no way to vent the depression in his heart.

"Hey, our DRAM technology upgrade has not been successful, so we can only produce the lowest-end products. And now, S Star is losing Qimonda one after another, and the dust will soon settle in this game. When he frees up his hands, it will not allow our DRAM products to gain a firm foothold in the market. ”

Yan Hanzhang is telling the truth, this is the sadness of being a chaser.

For example, like international giants, they have a first-mover advantage in technology. The latest high-end products come out, and no one else has them yet, and they can earn high profits.

When the catch-up finally can produce this kind of high-end product, the depreciation of the equipment of the international giants has returned a large part. At this time, as long as the giants reduce the price, they can make the chasers lose blood.

Flash memory is better, especially DRAM, which is very cyclical, which will discourage many latecomers from investing in this field.

To put it mildly, the semiconductor industry is a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry. International giants have set up a lot of barriers for latecomers, including patents, and those who are not careful will fall into a dead end.

"Are you saying that Qimonda's situation isn't good right now?"

Hu Yang noticed a detail in Yan Hanzhang's words, so he asked a question.

"Yes, Qimonda's products have always been known for their high quality and high price. But now facing the price resistance of S stars with the same good quality, Qimonda's market share is declining rapidly. Some analysts predict that Qimonda's loss in the first quarter of this year will not be less than 4.5 billion euros. ”

In the early days of the price war, Qimonda still held on to its past glory and did not make strategic adjustments. When I can't hold on and want to deal with it, it's too late to expand production capacity.

As time goes by, Qimonda loses blood faster and faster. In the future, even if it wanted to build a new factory, it would not be able to come up with this huge amount of money.

"Mr. Yan, wait, let me ask you, is one of Qimonda's two global R&D centers in Chang'an?"

In Hu Yang's memory, Qimonda was finally unable to resist the encirclement and suppression of companies such as S Star, MG and SK, and finally applied for bankruptcy protection in desperation, but the time point seems to be in 07 or 08 years.

But in this time and space, it is difficult to say whether Qimonda can survive this year, and the time is greatly advanced, about 3 to 4 years in advance.

If Qimonda can't hold on, Populus euphratica is salivating over Qimonda's DRAM technology.

"Yes, Qimonda's largest global R&D center is in Chang'an, China. What? What does Mr. Hu think?"

Yan Hanzhang's brain is still flexible, and he immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

"Well, you send someone to try to get in touch with Qimonda first. If Qimonda can't hold on, we will buy his Chang'an R&D center at all costs. ”

Hu Yang remembers that in that time and space, Qimonda finally sold its R&D center in Chang'an to a domestic company.

So now, Hu Yang has decided to take the lead in taking this R&D center.

Hearing Hu Yang say this, Yan Hanzhang's eyes couldn't help but light up. If this can really be done, then he knows very well what it means for Charm Semiconductor.

"Okay, Mr. Hu, I have to hurry up and arrange this matter. You're only coming back today, so you'd better go home early and rest. ”

Yan Hanzhang's P strand was like a spring under it, and he jumped up as soon as he got to the ground. He rushed out as he spoke.

Hu Yang couldn't help but wonder, this Mr. Yan is usually a little oily, but when it comes to business, he is still a very reliable person.

But soon, the smile on his face was put away, and Yan Hanzhang's guess made Hu Yang bury a shadow in his heart.

Qimonda's defeat will certainly allow him to obtain the coveted DRAM technology, but from now on, Charm Semiconductor will also be exposed to the vision of international giants such as S-star. Hu Yang believes that it won't be long before these giants will tacitly launch a strangulation of Charm Semiconductor.

For the time being, there is no good way for Populus euphratica to resist. The other party is a conspirator, and he doesn't even have the right to dodge.

At present, the form of Charismatic Semiconductors is not optimistic.

In the flash memory sector, the company's profits are not high, mainly because of its lack of high-end products. However, DRAM is still in the investment period, and the company's overall performance is really not good.

This means that for a long time in the future, Charismatic Semiconductor will be struggling on the profit and loss line. Companies can't rely on a virtuous cycle to get a lot of money, which is not good for the growth of the business.

"Hey, it's really a lot of money! But you can't give up halfway, if you can't, you can only rely on external blood transfusions. ”

Before achieving positive profits, Charm Semiconductor can only fight for consumption. In the case of insufficient consumption, it is natural to need to replenish funds, otherwise the enterprise will definitely be unsustainable.

Hu Yang pressed the chaotic phase method and asked Mi Qi to bring in the official documents that needed to be processed and began to sign and approve.

In the afternoon, Hu Yang left the investment building early, didn't think about everything, and had a good night's rest.

......

"Mr. Hu, I have been in contact with Qimonda several times through channels during this period of time, and they did not give a positive response until yesterday. I'm going to go to Germany and talk to them about technology transfer. ”

It has been half a month since Populus euphratica returned from New Zealand.

Yan Hanzhang and Qimonda Company have been in contact several times, and the other party is finally willing to negotiate. Since the beginning of this year, Qimonda's stock price has also fallen to a large extent due to the shrinkage of its business. Qimonda's top management finally realized that the company was sliding into bankruptcy and liquidation.

If that day comes, how much will the company's assets be worth? This is also the reason why Qimonda is willing to contact Charm Semiconductor.

"Mr. Yan, it is no longer appropriate to talk about technology transfer now, and according to the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Qimonda goes bankrupt. You can go to Germany, but the subject of the negotiation should be on the acquisition of the other party's Chang'an R&D center. ”

At this time, it is not the right time to talk about technology transfer with the other party. Hu Yang wants more than just the other party's technology. There are also technicians from the Chang'an R&D Center.

Qimonda has actually taken a detour in the development path of DRAM technology. The DRAM they are currently producing is trench technology, which is gradually becoming obsolete.

The technical path of DRAM manufacturers such as S star has been transferred to the stacked type, and Qimonda's research and development of this technology has just achieved results, and it has not yet been tested by large-scale production.

Qimonda's newly successfully developed DRAM stacking technology is the technological achievement of their Chang'an R&D center.

In other words, Qimonda's technology is not very mature, so Hu Yang is full of confidence in acquiring the other party's Chang'an R&D center.
