Chapter 077: Hit the Weakness

Ten minutes later, Wang Qisheng and Yu Zixian appeared in the office of Li Donghong, the deputy general manager of the joint venture plant.

Li Donghong also serves as the deputy general manager of Lu's Semiconductor Company, and is responsible for managing the Lu's Semiconductor team in Sifang Factory.

"Manager Li, according to the division of labor of the joint venture factory, we are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the production line, and you are responsible for the supply of raw materials. Do you know that just yesterday we signed supply orders with many TV manufacturers, and your personnel were also present at that time, but now you say that there is an interruption in the supply of chips, don't you know that this means that we have production interruptions, contract compensation, and huge losses? ”

As a shareholder of the joint venture, we also hope that the joint venture will operate normally, and then we will make profits, but at present, it is the supplier who has a big problem!

"Isn't there a contract? How can you say that you will regret it? At least give us time to react?"

"The supply chips that were supposed to be sent two days ago were not sent normally, so we went to their Xiangjiang agency headquarters to supervise, but the other party only verbally promised to deliver the goods immediately, and they did not deliver them until yesterday. This morning, when we went to urge again, the other party directly said that Toshiba was out of stock, and they had no goods to send! We took out the contract for them to perform, and they directly came up with the compensation clause and wanted to directly compensate according to the agreement! What can we do again?"

Yu Zixian and Wang Qisheng glanced at each other, obviously someone was doing something! And it was out of stock the day after the agreement was signed yesterday, and the card at this time was really accurate!

At present, Lu's Semiconductor Company is also the major shareholder of the joint venture factory, and it is impossible to make trouble! Then the suspect is either the agent supplier or Toshiba!

However, the possibility of acting as an agent for suppliers is not very large, because when it comes to future cooperation, they generally will not make such rough troubles! The biggest possibility is that Toshiba will directly come forward to do it.

Thinking of Toshiba's remote control circuit board has been rising in price before, in the case of the market all the way up, the remote control chip of the joint venture factory has not risen much, which is not normal.

Previously, Lu's Semiconductor was responsible for the supply of chips and the sales of remote control circuit boards, so the Quartet was a little slow to know this information, although it was a little confused, but in the hot market, it unintentionally and passively escaped the suspicion of this possibility!

But Lu's Semiconductor shouldn't have found clues!

"In terms of the previous chip price supply and the market price of remote control circuit boards, Lu's Semiconductor has not found any abnormalities?" Yu Zixian had to ask, although this possibility is not very likely, but once it is really a partner who has a problem, it will be a lot of fun.

"The price in Xiangjiang has been stable, even if it fluctuates a little, it is in the normal range, so we don't pay too much attention to it...... This time, it only started after we started selling remote control boards to the inland after we took over the production handover. So...... We also felt sudden. Li Donghong made a very helpless shrug.

Yu Zixian is somewhat sure, this is likely to be Toshiba's bureau for the joint venture company, let the joint venture factory drill into it!

In the past, Toshiba almost monopolized the domestic market, and the supply and price were stable. However, as the four-party joint venture factories began to release goods to domestic manufacturers, Toshiba began to act.

They used continuous price increases to drive domestic manufacturers to the side of the four parties, helping to promote the hot orders of the four joint ventures. In the way of boiling frogs in warm water, Lu's semiconductor chips were supplied normally, but after the order was signed on the joint venture factory's side, the supply of chips for the main material of the remote control circuit board was immediately cut off, and the Sifang factory was suddenly put in a dilemma where it could not perform the contract.

Yu Zixian is also sure that there must be someone in the Sifang Factory or the order meeting to report to Toshiba. But at this time, Yu Zixian can't take care of these for the time being, he is worried that Toshiba still has a backhand.

"Manager Li, did the other party put forward any conditions?"

"So far, not yet. ”

"Manager Li, do you have any good ways here? You must know that this time according to the amount of orders signed yesterday, we may incur huge losses that neither of us can afford, if it is not handled well, the worst case of sending some goods, our joint venture factory may not have the basis for existence!"

"We are also trying our best to find ways to communicate with dealers and strive to restore chip supply as soon as possible. ”

"You don't need to contact the dealer, just contact Toshiba Semiconductor!

Yu Zixian felt a headache, Toshiba's knife was completely poked at the soft underbelly of the joint venture or the domestic TV industry.

After bidding farewell to Li Donghong with Wang Qisheng, Yu Zixian went directly to the design laboratory of the joint venture factory, and he needed to confirm some things further. It seems that we need to be prepared for contingencies in advance. And Wang Qisheng went back to report the situation to Luo Shouwu.

At present, a total of 100 sets of remote control circuit boards are produced per month, and 300,000 sets are reserved because of the relationship in the city. It was agreed to provide remote control circuit boards to the two large color factories in the city at the market price, so this factory was not very worried.

Of the remaining 700,000 miles, 300,000 were divided by the old guys before. Although there are still 400,000 other large and small factories, Luo Shouwu feels that it is better to deal with these four old guys first.

"Don't complain about Lao Luo, Lao Luo has no choice, and Lao Luo did it authentically enough, and the price we took was nearly 20% lower than that of other factories, so our top priority is to think about how to solve this matter, otherwise Toshiba's price of 180, will we take it or not?"

"By the way, Lao Qi, I still want to ask, can't we produce the remote control circuit board chip for the AT two-chip computer in China?"

"Lao Luo, let me tell you this, I have known about this chip before, it is a chip with a 1.5 micron process, and we can reach a 1.5 micron process in China under laboratory conditions, but once it is to be mass-produced, it will not work. We will talk about the process next, let's just say that the investment in building a small and medium-sized factory is in the hundreds of millions, not to mention the equipment, there is no billion, don't want to take it down. I was fortunate to participate in the construction of the 5-micron bipolar linear integrated circuit production line of Jiangnan 742 factory, as far as I know, the equipment required includes power supply equipment (including emergency power supply), ultra-large clean room, ventilation equipment, Cooling equipment and many other equipment, the plant building is of a high standard, because the wafer production is particularly earthquake-resistant, even a truck driving from near the factory will also affect production, so the foundation of the plant is very deep, and many stabilization measures must be taken, similar to the earthquake prevention of high-rise buildings, which is very difficult here, and of course the cost is high. In addition, there are hundreds of other supporting equipment, this different types of equipment are arranged together according to the design requirements, and the production of wafers can only be completed according to hundreds of thousands of process steps...... There are also various consumables needed in the production process, such as slurry, exposure glue, cleaning liquid, etc., there are too many things needed. The point is that there are almost no equipment and materials that our country can produce on its own, and even if there are not many that can be replaced, they are still one or two grades behind...... All equipment and materials have to be imported from abroad, but advanced equipment and technology are restricted by "Batumi...... Therefore, it will be very difficult to produce this road by ourselves, with our current level of technology, it is almost impossible to achieve large-scale industrial production, at least in the next ten years!"

As a person who has personally experienced the introduction of the bipolar linear integrated circuit production line of Jiangnan Radio 742 Factory, although he was transferred to Jiangnan Color TV Factory as the director after completion, among them, Qi Lao naturally has the most right to speak!

"The level of technology is not to mention, before the introduction of technology and production lines in our country, there is a problem of heavy design, heavy hardware and light technology, please software, coupled with the international in order to prevent our country from applying advanced technology to the national defense industry, for the strict control of professional production equipment on China's exports, our technological level has been in a state of blind man's touch. The most important thing is that we lack relevant professionals, including skilled workers, and even college students in this major may not be able to grab one or two a year. ”

Qi Lao's cold water splashed everyone cold.

"Then what now?" asked Jiang Lao.

"What else can I do? Isn't Lao Luo's joint venture factory for the production of remote control circuit boards still Hong Kong-funded? Let them also come up with ideas!"

"Looking at the current situation, we can only hope for Lu's semiconductor!" Luo Shouwu also said helplessly.

"Director Luo, I just came over there, and there is no good way for Lu's Semiconductor! But they are contacting chip suppliers and agents, and they will do everything possible to urge the resumption of chip supply. Wang Qisheng could only whisper the contact information on his side.

"Since the other party can take the opportunity to cut off the chip supply of the joint venture factory this time, I am afraid that it is a bit difficult for the other party to resume supply as soon as possible......"

"I'm afraid there are other intentions!" Lao Jiang suddenly said with a gloomy voice.

Luo Shouwu also felt a trace of unusual taste in his heart, the timing was so good, there must be a big attempt.

Facing the imminent unknown enemy, Luo Shouwu felt a little discouraged: "Could it be that the new situation that the Sifang Electron Tube Factory has just established is going to be destroyed!"
