Chapter 831: Force Majeure

Zhu Zhengfeng and Dai Fuqian have both been in high positions for many years, and as ministers of the dragon, they should also be.

However, after all, the two of them are still relatively young, and without the aura of a traverser like Jiang Hui, they are often still relatively naïve in their views on some things.

As for Jiang Hui's statement that the US government does not agree with the idea that American companies export chips to Guanghui mobile phones, they have never thought about it, because in their opinion, this is simply an incredible thing.

"Mr. Jiang, your assumption is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?", Zhu Zhengfeng said in surprise.

"Yes, although it is possible to suffer some losses in the price negotiations, it will not reach this level, right?" Dai Fuqian also had a similar view.

"To do business, the first thing to do is how to survive, and only when you survive can you have a chance. In the same way, if you want to think about how to survive, you have to think about what circumstances will make you unable to survive? Is it a loss year after year? Is it a product that is unsalable? Or is it a quality problem?" Jiang Hui was not surprised by Zhu Zhengfeng and Dai Fuqian's reactions.

In fact, if you want to say which country the people of the Celestial Empire like the most, or which country they have the most favorable feelings for, it must be the United States.

Although the US imperialists have been calling for many years, the more they belittle each other, the more the common people like the United States.

Many cents always use the advantages of the "market economy" of the United States to belittle the Celestial Empire itself, but is the United States really a market economy?

Not necessarily!

Why has Warwick not been able to enter the U.S. market since then?

Is it because he can't survive in the market?

The answer is obvious.

The so-called "market economy" is only applicable when the rules set by others and the path that others hope to do, once it exceeds their imagination, there will immediately be a variety of other means to greet you.

"I don't think that's going to be a problem for us at Shining phones, at least not for five years. But will we have no problem? If we stop growing here, then maybe we can live a good life for a few years, but what about after that?

If you don't improve, you're actually regressing. But if you keep making progress and getting bigger and bigger, sooner or later you will become a thorn in the side of others. Don't look at the Americans boasting every day about how democratic they are, how legal they are, they are all fooling people, the world is as black as a crow, and when the time comes, when the glorious mobile phone is too huge, people will find an excuse to cut off your supply, and that is a matter of minutes," Jiang Hui said.

"Our procurement contracts have a variety of requirements on the supply side, including supply cycle, supply quantity, supply price, etc., if the other party breaches the contract, I think the liquidated damages are not affordable for ordinary enterprises," Dai Fuqian said.

"Yes, no one is so stupid for a blatant breach of contract, but there must be such a force majeure clause in your contract, right?" Jiang Hui said.

The so-called force majeure refers to objective circumstances that cannot be foreseen, avoided and cannot be overcome at the time of the conclusion of the contract. It includes natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, floods, hailstorms, government actions such as expropriation and requisition, and abnormal social events such as strikes and riots.

"Yes, but so far we haven't had any disputes or anything related to the contents of the contract," Dai said.

"Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. Or what I just said, if Apple lobbied the U.S. government to propose a ban on the sale of chips to Tejas mobile phones, or if the U.S. government took the initiative to find an excuse to ban the export of chips to us, would we have any solution?" Jiang Hui asked.

"Although the chip industry in the United States is the strongest in the world, in addition to the United States, the level of South Korea, treasure islands and island countries is still quite high," Dai Fuqian said.

"What you say is not wrong, but do you see how the Yankees are sanctioning Iran now? Who dares to sell anything to Iran that he does not allow to be sold to Iran? Whether you admit it or not, the United States is the current world leader, and will still be the world leader in the next 10 years, or even 20 years.

Don't say that South Korea and island countries are themselves vassal states of the United States, even some other countries that do not have such a close relationship with the United States, even if they have chips, they will not dare to sell them to us, if the United States issues a ban," Jiang Hui said.

Hearing Jiang Hui's words, Zhu Zhengfeng and Dai Fuqian both fell into deep thought.

Although they had never considered this problem before, but now listening to Jiang Huiyi, it seems that this problem is not impossible to happen, and when it happens, if the Guanghui mobile phone does not make any preparations in advance.

Then it is almost a catastrophe, without chips, whether it is Gphone or Gpad, or other products launched by Guanghui mobile phones in the future, there is basically no way to reproduce them.

Without new product sales, relying solely on some software-related income in Gstore and other fields, although it can support Guanghui Mobile to survive for a while, basically such a world-renowned technology giant is about to fall.

"Mr. Jiang, hearing you say this, I think our chip project should be promoted as soon as possible. To enter this industry with a particularly high threshold, there is no two or three years, and even the shadow of the product cannot come out, and to really come up with a chip suitable for our glorious mobile phone, I think it is very difficult to have five or six years, if you don't hurry up, then it's really too late."

From not caring about it before, to being anxious now, Zhu Zhengfeng is also aware of this huge risk.

"Is it too late for us to enter now? Now Apple has regarded us as its biggest competitor, and all kinds of advertisements and advertorials are basically the object of comparison with us," Dai Fuqian also said with some concern.

"Sooner or later, we all started this project as soon as possible. At the same time, we also have to be prepared to deal with Apple, when the time comes, they can mess with us in the United States, and we can also mess with them in the Celestial Empire. It's hard to say who is more important in the two largest markets in the world," Jiang said.

"Mr. Jiang, are we going to fight a patent lawsuit with Apple? Apple's iPhone has a lot of content that is suspected of infringing our patents, and we have to organize a team of lawyers to sue them, and we have to let them take off a layer of skin if they don't die," Zhu Zhengfeng said excitedly when he heard Jiang Hui say that he was going to prepare to engage in Apple.

"Apple also knows about patents, and it is estimated that there are some preparations. We have to use this thing as an atomic bomb, and when is the deterrent power of the atomic bomb the strongest? Is it when it is launched? Obviously not, the deterrent power of the atomic bomb is the most powerful only when it is on the launch stand. In the case that Apple has not torn its face with us, our patented atomic bomb should not be actively used," Jiang Hui said.
