Chapter 298: Chip Wars
Lucy smiled and whispered, "Steve, let's move on to another topic." ”
"Okay. Xu Xincheng quickly adjusted his emotions, just now he was a little too excited because of his emotion and gratitude, and a little too emotional. He knew that in front of Lucy, who advocated rationality, it was better not to be too emotional.
His heartfelt thanks, Lucy has certainly received. And, more importantly, if you just say it with your mouth, just express your gratitude with words, it doesn't make much sense, he will use his actions and will repay Lucy with the results of his work.
"We just mentioned secrecy, we mentioned vigilance. I feel it is necessary to talk more about this topic. ”
"Okay. Xu Xincheng said in a calm tone, at this time he had basically adjusted.
The look on Lucy's face became a little more serious, and she said, "Steve, the moment I just told you about the 'Chip Sanctuary Project' was when we officially started implementing this plan. One of the biggest keys to the success of this plan is whether it can do its best job of confidentiality. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and on the battlefield, even the slightest negligence, especially the slightest negligence in secrecy work, may lead to very serious consequences, and may even lead to a big defeat. ”
"Yes!" Xu Xincheng realized that this "deep talk" was indeed very "necessary", and he knew that this "deep talk" was caused by him, and he immediately thought of his negligence just now, and suddenly felt ashamed, so ashamed that his face was a little hot.
Lucy smiled back and whispered, "Steve, you don't have to be ashamed. The vigilance of confidentiality work needs to be constantly exercised and improved, all of which are new to you and require a process of adaptation. However, as things stand, your alertness is pretty good, which is pretty good. ”
Xu Xincheng said with some difficulty: "Thank you! However, I really need to improve even more." ”
"How do you think you can better and faster improve your vigilance in confidentiality work?"
Xu Xincheng thought hard and replied: "Always remind yourself and keep improving your sensitivity." ”
"That's right. However, that's just a mark, not a book. The most fundamental way to greatly enhance our vigilance is to recognize the situation we are in. ”
"Recognize our current situation?" Xu Xincheng asked puzzled.
"Yes. Steve, you have to be clear that from the moment we officially started to implement the 'Chip Holy Land Program', other chip companies around the world, especially Q Company and IN Company in the United States, have become our competitors, and they are competitors that must be defeated. The business war between us and them, or rather, the chip war between us and them, has started from that moment on. ”
"Ahh
"Yes. This will be a chip war that will sweep all chip companies around the world. And, so to speak, we are the initiators of this great war. As the initiators, we will challenge the world's major chip companies at the same time, and they, in addition to active defense, will definitely launch a counteroffensive, and may even unite to launch a comprehensive encirclement and suppression. ”
Xu Xincheng suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
Yes, he really didn't recognize the situation that their company was about to face. Just now, he had been only excited and excited about the "Chip Sanctuary Project", but he didn't think about what it would mean once they started to implement that plan.
Lucy's words just now woke him up at once, yes, their situation in the future will be very bad. In the face of a challenger like them, in the face of the initiator of this chip war, how can chip companies such as Q Company and IN Company not take action?
At the same time, he also realized that it would be much more difficult to realize the 'Chip Holy Land Project' than he had previously thought. In the next two or three years, on the one hand, they have to go all out to set up chip R&D companies and chip factories as planned, and on the other hand, they have to always be on guard against some restrictive measures and hostile actions taken by chip companies such as Q Company and IN Company.
From the third year, when their first chip was developed and produced, it was the day when this chip war officially began, and you don't need to think about it to know that it will be an extremely difficult battle.
Lucy had just described the chip war like that, making him feel as if he was in the middle of a battlefield all of a sudden, and his alertness immediately soared to an unprecedented level.
Yes, Lucy is right, once he has a fundamental understanding of the company's situation, then his vigilance will be greatly increased.
At this time, he was highly vigilant and immediately thought of a very serious question, and he asked a little anxiously: "Lucy, even if we keep it secret, once we officially start to establish a chip R&D company and a chip factory, they will immediately know our plan, and at that time, if they stop cooperating with us and stop supplying chips to us, then ......"
"First of all, as previously highlighted, as one of the biggest negotiation tactics, until we sign a three-year cooperation agreement with them, we can't let them know about our chip ownership plans in any case. Secondly, in the cooperation agreement, we must set an absolute clause, the general content of this clause is as follows, in any case, except in the event of force majeure, Party B must fulfill the obligation to supply chips to Party A on time and in quantity, in case of breach of contract, Party B will compensate Party A for the losses suffered thereby, and the compensation is 10 times the chip order price. ”
When Xu Xincheng heard this, he immediately knew that this clause could indeed prevent what he was worried about, but he immediately realized a new big problem, "Lucy, the absolute clause you just said is indeed very good, and it can indeed prevent what I just said from happening." However, as far as I know, under normal circumstances, Company Q and Company IN would not agree to such terms. ”
"That's true. But as you just said, it's just that under normal circumstances, it won't, and even they have exceptions, and for some companies, they still have to agree, such as Company A and Company M in the United States. ”
"This ......"
"I know that with the current strength of Sino-US Xinfei Company, it is far from being comparable to Company A and Company M, but that absolute clause is something we must negotiate. It is one of the most important indicators of the success of the ninth important task. Lucy paused and asked with a solemn expression, "Steve, can you do it?"
