Chapter 422 Pass-through Risk

The people on the rich list are undoubtedly rich, but not every rich person will be on the list.

For example, like Sioux City, his wealth is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. But Sioux City's name never appears among the shareholders of any of the companies. There are many more such cases, and the invisible rich are no longer news.

But Populus Hu couldn't make himself invisible, so he simply took the initiative and didn't resist this kind of eye-catching list.

"Brother Hu, I want to be on the list, but no one has contacted me so far. ”

Chen Jialin is a person who likes to join in the fun, and being on the rich list is also a kind of "capital". But it's a pity that no one has come to him until now, so he can't go and declare his assets to others, right?

"Chen Shao, it's not easy to be on the list? I'll go back and tell Cai Mengmeng of Fortune Magazine that they will start paying attention to you?"

Chen Jialin's wealth is actually not a lot at all, for example, Stubborn Stone Technology has grown into the world's second-ranked 3C foundry. It's just that this company has not been listed, and it has been relatively low-key, and the attention is relatively low.

In addition, Chen Jialin has a lot of foreign investments, and these investments together are also a huge wealth. But few people know about these assets, unless he himself stands up and publicizes them.

"Hehe, I'll just say this casually, you and I are really rare on the rich list? Brother Hu, let's not talk about this, let's talk about some serious things. The last time you asked me to inquire about UMC, I've gotten some feedback.

UMC's main business is wafer foundry, and they do not have DRAM design capabilities. I heard that Hualian Electronics' DRAM technology was jointly developed with some international giants. ”

Yan Hanzhang has been talking about cooperation with Hualian Electronics in accordance with Hu Yang's instructions. Hu Yang is not idle, he has been inquiring about the news of Hualian Electronics in many ways.

Before he told Chen Jialin that Hualian Electronics suddenly came to the door to seek cooperation, Chen Jialin also felt that there was something strange about this matter, so he also wanted to find out.

"Then I'm curious, Hualian Electronics itself has manufacturing capabilities, and its last DRAM production line is not over, why do you want to cooperate with Charm Semiconductor?"

According to Yan Hanzhang, Hualian Electronics' cooperation method is that they provide technology, and Charm Semiconductor invests in the construction of factories, and then distributes profits after the products are launched.

At present, the profit distribution plan proposed by Hualian Electronics is 37 open, and they want to take 30% of the profits.

Of course, Yan Hanzhang would not agree, even if there was no order from Hu Yang asking him to delay the negotiations for more than half a year.

But Hu Yang's focus is on another place, that is, Hualian Electronics' approach is unreasonable.

According to Hualian Electronics' own explanation, he does not want to compete with DRAM manufacturers in Baodao, so he cooperates in this way that they provide technology and hand it over to others to OEM. ”

Chen Jialin can find out the only news that he can hear, and more information belongs to the corporate secrets of Hualian Electronics, and there is no way to inquire about it.

"Something is wrong! My gut tells me there must be something wrong with this. ”

Hu Yang can't think of what the problem will be for the time being, because the cooperation proposed by Hualian Electronics looks normal on the surface, but he has a very dangerous feeling.

"Then don't cooperate with them, this kind of thing is wrong, anyway, the main direction of charm semiconductor is flash memory chips. ”

Chen Jialin also wants to know the answer, but at present, it seems that the price of wanting to get the answer may be very high, and the gain outweighs the loss.

As the saying goes, a mall is like a battlefield, and the commander's battlefield instincts are especially important. Since Populus euphratica feels that this matter will have a negative impact, then it should not hesitate to refuse.

Hu Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry, let's see." Chen Shao, there are some things that you can't hide if you want to, I have to figure out the problem here. ”

"Whatever you want! That's all I can get for now. I will keep you informed if there is a new situation. ”

Chen Jialin stayed in Hu Yang's office for an hour and left in a hurry, he was going to ZH today, and he came to meet Hu Yang by the way.

After Chen Jialin left, Hu Yang slowly calmed down. After his careful analysis, he felt that Hualian Electronics was doing this to pass on the risk. What is not willing to compete with Baodao enterprises, it is simply, how can there be no competition in business?

Throughout the history of Hualian Electronics, they have never been soft on their competitors. So, this reason is an excuse.

Thinking of this, Populus euphratica's thinking became smoother.

Hualian Electronics obviously has the ability to produce by itself, but it provides technology and others to cooperate, and would rather take a small head of profits. What does this mean? It shows that Hualian Electronics is avoiding the risk of investing in and building factories.

Combined with the negotiation between the other party and Yan Hanzhang, this can be reflected.

Thinking of this, a vague memory suddenly popped out of Hu Yang's mind, but this memory made Hu Yang break out in a cold sweat.

In that time and space, Hualian Electronics had a case with a high degree of similarity.

Hualian Electronics and a mainland semiconductor company, Lingnan Essence, have carried out such cooperation. At that time, Hualian Electronics also provided the technology, and Lingnan Essence invested 30.7 billion yuan (RMB) to build a DRAM factory.

The construction of the plant went smoothly and was put into operation as scheduled. However, not long after Lingnan Essence's DRAM products came out, Micron sued Hualian Electronics and Lingnan Essence together in the court of Laomei.

The lawsuit alleges infringement and alleges that Hualian Electronics stole more than 900 pages of the company's technical information through former Micron employees.

For this reason, Lao Mei issued a ban on Lingnan Essence, prohibiting American companies from having any business dealings with Lingnan Essence, just as it did with ZX later.

As a result of this paper ban, Lingnan Essence has actually fallen into the predicament of discontinuation.

Although Hualian Electronics also has to deal with a protracted lawsuit, he has not been sanctioned by the United States, and the risk is equivalent to being borne by the Lingnan Essence family.

Of course, referring to this case, there is not necessarily much conspiracy in it. However, Hualian Electronics' risk control ability is really excellent, no wonder it is unwilling to build its own factory for production.

In such a comparison, it is estimated that Hualian Electronics' technology is actually very risky. Lao Mei said that Hualian Electronics stole Micron's technical information, which is likely to be unreliable. However, Hualian Electronics' DRAM technology is jointly developed with others, and there are too many uncontrollable factors in it, and it is too likely for others to seize the handle.

"Sure enough, you can't buy core technology with money. ”

A memory surfaced in his mind, which made Populus euphratica deeply feel the value of its own core technology again.

"Mr. Yan, give up the negotiation with Hualian Electronics, the key technology cannot be independent and controllable, and our risk is too great. ”

Subsequently, Hu Yang recruited Yan Hanzhang and asked him to stop negotiations with Hualian Electronics.

Before, he wanted to find out the real purpose of Hualian Electronics' cooperation, but now he doesn't need it.

"Mr. Hu, I know I shouldn't question your decision. However, can you tell me the reason for doing this? Through this period of negotiation, Hualian Electronics has promised that we can upgrade on the basis of the technology it provides. The upgraded technology is owned by the joint venture. ”

Yan Hanzhang didn't hold back this time, he asked Hu Yang for an explanation.

Hu Yang looked at Yan Hanzhang with a serious face and laughed: "Boss Yan, I usually see you in a smooth tone, but it's rare to see you serious once." Let me tell you this, Hualian Electronics obviously has the ability to produce its own DRAM products, but it talks to us about cooperation on more favorable terms, haven't you thought about why?"

How could Yan Hanzhang not think about this question, he was just blindfolded by the other party's generous conditions.

He kept telling himself that Hualian Electronics may be because of financial problems, or as they themselves said, they are unwilling to compete with their peers on the treasure island, and so on.

To put it bluntly, Yan Hanzhang did not foresee the risk.

"Mr. Yan, I'll tell you directly. Hualian Electronics has only one purpose in doing this, and that is to pass on the risk. Why did he pass on the risk? Think about it......"

Hu Yang saw that Yan Hanzhang had been silent, so he continued to ask.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with their technology, or is there something other than economics?"

Yan Hanzhang would not be naïve to think that the other party was doing good deeds, he was just tempted by the immediate interests before, and it was not that he couldn't see anything clearly.

"I don't know if there's a problem with the technology, but their DRAM technology is jointly developed with others. In this aspect alone, you can imagine how many hidden dangers may be in it. Mr. Yan, Hualian Electronics is so deliberate about passing on the risk, you say, can we be this pick-up man?"

There are a lot of words, and Hu Yang can't say too thoroughly. But he still patiently explained to Yan Hanzhang. If he doesn't understand this, then he can only give the order to die.

"Mr. Hu, hearing you say this, I began to mumble in my heart, so let's terminate the negotiation with the other party. Hey, it's a shame we've missed an opportunity to make the leap into DRAM. ”

Yan Hanzhang is not stupid, on the contrary, he is actually a very smart person with a high IQ and high EQ. Although there were still many doubts in his heart, he chose to obey.

"Rest assured, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Mr. Yan, the company continues to increase investment in the pre-research of DRAM technology. In addition, when the time is ripe, let's build a DRAM factory first, and it is not bad to do OEM. ”

To be honest, it is difficult to design DRAM products, but it has not yet reached the level of rebellion, and the difficulty lies in how to circumvent the technical patent barriers of Samsung, SK, Micron and other companies.

Yan Hanzhang sighed and left, he really wanted Hualian Electronics' DRAM technology. But Hu Yang also listened to what he said, and he was willing to carry out the boss's orders, but he still felt pity in his heart.
