Chapter 235 Chip Production Reserves
Frankl asked emphatically, "Is this possible?...... , you are not a god. ”
Glancing at Jiang Xinwei, he continued: "This is just the basic, the most basic requirements. To design a microprocessor, you also have to spend a lot of time studying, learning computer technology, learning the hardware technology at the lowest level of the computer, learning the number of computers, and learning ...... Oh, God, my knowledge is so poor, although I am majoring in electronics, but I can't tell how much technology is needed to design a microprocessor, yes, I don't exaggerate, I really need a lot of technology...... , Jiang, are you really ready?"
Jiang Xinxu said: "Don't talk about things so strictly. …… You just have to remember one, I'm a genius. ”
Frankl said, "Well, I'll admit it, you are indeed a genius. I've seen a lot of geniuses who have been praised, but they don't compare to you...... In your country's parlance, you don't even deserve to lift your shoes, but that doesn't mean you can design a microprocessor on your own. …… If your microprocessor fails to be produced by a foreign manufacturer, you will have to bear the full loss, and you must pay a preliminary reserve of four million dollars, which is not included in the cost of purchasing the microprocessor in the future. …… , which means that if you buy a microprocessor in the future, you will have to spend money. …… You know what I mean? Four million dollars!"
Jiang Xinwei nodded and said, "I understand." The four million yuan is just the mold fee, programming fee, test fee, and the cost of setting up a processing team. Whether the microprocessor is successful or not, this expense is gone. ”
"Yes, if you want to correct a design mistake in the future, you will have to pay at least a million and a half million dollars in modification fees, which will increase according to the size of your modifications, and if you change a lot, even to the point of changing the main design, you will probably be required to pay four million dollars again, which is equivalent to reproducing a new microprocessor." ”
Jiang Xinwei also nodded seriously.
Frankl said a little frantically: "Why does four million dollars seem to you to be forty dollars, four dollars? You don't know that this is a huge amount of money? Even for our Italian family, it is a huge amount of money that cannot be disposed of at will." You...... Where did you get all this money in one fell swoop? You don't want to use the money from the East-JM investment company right now, do you? As far as I know, the investment company doesn't have that much money, and almost all of your company's money goes to the Soviet Union. ”
Jiang Xinwei said: "Don't worry, I won't use a penny from East-JM Investment Company." ”
Frankl breathed a sigh of relief, because he had invested a lot of money in Jiang Xinwei and Mayoni to open a bank in the Soviet Union, where the business was now in full swing, even if he was not a banker himself, it could be seen that there was a lot to be done in the Soviet Union, and it was a gold mine developed by Jiang Xinxu.
In the absence of the past, he will still be suspicious, not feeling how much money the bank can make in the USSR, but seeing that once the bank has gained a foothold in the USSR, the Soviet people will rush to deposit rubles in the bank, and he will know that he will make a fortune. Although the bank pays the Soviet people 6 annual interest on deposits, which is very high in Western countries, it is negligible compared to the astonishing depreciation of the ruble. That is to say, as long as the deposits of the Soviet people are absorbed, even if they do not lend out to make money on the difference in interest, in exchange for dollars, the purchase of materials, factories and mines, etc., they can make a lot of money.
Now the bank opened in the Soviet Union has more money, and these shareholders will have more income, if Jiang Xinwei withdraws capital, he will make a lot less money, of course he does not want to take the money away, let alone use it in the production of microprocessors such an unreliable thing. In his heart, he still thinks that the microprocessor designed by Jiang Xinwei alone is unreliable.
He looked at Jiang Xinwei suspiciously, and asked, "Then where did you get the funds?" Although you have made a lot of money during this time, you have spent a lot, and it can even be said that you have spent more than you have earned. By the way, your company still owes us the payment for the monocrystalline furnace. ”
Jiang Xinxu said: "Where do I owe any money for the monocrystalline furnace? We paid in batches according to the time limit stipulated in the contract, how can we say that we owe? Do you want to violate the agreement and ask us to pay in advance? I'm sorry, you pay the liquidated damages first. ”
Frankl spread his hands and said, "No, no, what I'm saying is, I'm worried about where your money is coming from, it's four million dollars, a lot of money." There is a clause in our contract that stipulates that we will pay in batches, but we have to pay it, so we can't afford not to pay it back, right?"
Jiang Xinwei said: "You can rest assured, we will definitely pay the payment for the second-hand single crystal furnace on time according to the contract." By the way, we also hope that you will help us to order a batch of high-quality monocrystalline furnace crucibles. ”
Frankl said: "No problem, as long as you pay the funds, we can order crucibles in the name of purchasing spare parts, and I don't think the other party will refuse." …… , how much do you order, isn't this another place that costs money?"
Jiang Xinwei replied: "I can't be sure how much to order, Su Dingyu will talk to you and sign a contract in a few days." …… As for the four million dollars you're worried about, do you need your help from Frankl?"
Frankl was shocked and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't......! If I had the money, I would have handed it over to my sister to go to the Soviet Union to open a bank, where is the extra money? As for our company, you know, although there is a little improvement now, it has lost so much money before, and now it is still a long way from making a profit, and it is not possible to come up with money. ”
Jiang Xinxu smiled and asked, "If there is a very profitable business handed over to you now, are you willing to come up with a sum of money?"
Frankl was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "A profitable business, or a very profitable business?...... , I know you have a golden finger, you say you can make money, you must really make money, if there is really this business, we are willing to do it. …… But what does our business have to do with you getting four million dollars?"
Jiang Xinwei smiled: "Of course, let you do business with us, you pay us a sum of money first." …… Do you know that a few days ago we sold the brand agency of the telephone in the Middle East to a merchant?"
Frankl's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "You let us act as an agent for the sales of your telephones in Europe?" Great...... But four million dollars is too much, isn't it? Your brand isn't very well-known yet, although we all know that your telephone is of good quality, and the board of directors of the company will definitely not approve of it. …… How much did the Middle Eastern merchant pay the agency fee?"
Jiang Xinxu replied: "This is a secret, and it can't be revealed casually." …… It's a bit high for a $4 million agency fee, but we can sell it to you for an average of $60 per phone, and it's not a lot to charge you $1.5 million for agency fees, right?"
Frankl silently read the number, hesitated and said, "One and a half million dollars is indeed not very high, but this number is not small, I have to apply to the board of directors." Believe me, I'll try to persuade them to agree. …… But even if we give you $1.5 million, you're still $2.5 million, how can this money come from?"
Jiang Xinwei said: "I can find another agent in the United States or Canada to act as an agent for telephone sales in North America." That's about two million dollars, right? Are you interested?"
Frankl thought for a long time, but finally shook his head and said, "I can't answer you." …… However, I guess it will be difficult because our company really doesn't have the money and we don't have enough people to go to North America to develop the market. Of course, I will also inform the board of directors of your intentions, even if they think that we are not capable of acting as an agent, and may be able to help you contact one or two merchants to talk to you. …… Doesn't that American named Zeng Hetao have a supermarket? He might be able to act as an agent. ”
Jiang Xinwei shook his head and said, "He is now busy setting up a factory in Yiyang City, and he has no energy at all. Besides, he has only a few supermarkets in the United States, and there is no such a large commercial channel to sell. …… , this is put in advance, I have another good thing to tell you. ”
Frankl didn't rush to ask this time, but looked at Jiang Xinwei. Because he knew that no matter what good things were, Jiang Xinwei wanted to raise funds as soon as possible, and the only thing his company lacked now was money, so it was difficult to cooperate with Jiang Xinwei's ideas, even if he waited to say how good the business was.
Jiang Xinwei didn't care, and said: "Today, our own monocrystalline furnace has produced high-quality monocrystalline silicon, if you have the courage, you can buy the brand agency right when we have not yet sold products, as the first to sign a monocrystalline silicon agency contract with us, you can get a lot of discounts." ”
Frankl asked incredulously, "Is ......it possible that your own monocrystalline furnace can produce high-quality monocrystalline silicon?" It is difficult for our own monocrystalline furnaces to produce high-quality monocrystalline silicon. What is the purity of the monocrystalline silicon you produce?"
Jiang Xinwei said seriously: "It's all over 99.9." ”
Frankl immediately said: "Impossible! It is good that you can produce 99.7 monocrystalline silicon! There must be a process of scientific and technological progress, how can it be possible to surpass our monocrystalline furnace in just a few months?...... What you say is true?"
Jiang Xinwei nodded without blushing and said, "Of course." Can I lie to you? I'm suing you for the sake of our friends, and if other merchants steal the brand agency in the future, you won't blame me?"
