Chapter 192: True Love and Falsehood
"There are such things, but don't worry, they have been completely rejected by me, and we are strategic and friendly partners, right?"
In Yao Fei's expectation, Sanders told him the situation happily.
"Mr. Sanders, can you be more specific? Can I know which company or companies participated in the invitation? ”
As long as Sanders tells him the other party's name, he will be able to know which company is behind the trouble, and at the worst he can know which company is involved.
"Mr. Moore and Mr. Bernard of Intel and National Semiconductor Corporation!"
In Yao Fei's anticipation, Sanders quickly gave the answer he wanted.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Sanders, I wish us a happy cooperation and do not disturb your rest, good night and bye!"
got the answer given by the other party, and because it was still night time, Yao Fei didn't talk much.
"Bye-bye!"
With a sense of contentment, Sanders quickly closed his eyes, thinking about how happy the guys would be tomorrow if he told the board of directors the good news.
After hanging up the phone, Yao Fei did not immediately call Moore and Brian, but chose to call Templeton, the CEO of Texas Instruments at the time, although the time difference between Dallas, Texas, where Texas Instruments is located, and Hong Kong, is larger than San Francisco.
But to Yao Fei's surprise, it was so late in the middle of the night. The hard-working Temple Liteton continued to work, just like talking to Sanders, Yao Fei also doubled the order to the other party, and then asked what company invited them to increase the price of chips for the Hong Kong branch of Feiyue Technology.
The difference with the Intel and National Semiconductors given by Sanders is that the two companies that invited Texas Instruments are IBM and SMSC.
There are no duplicate companies on the invitation list, and things are not as simple as they think, but they are a little complicated, and in this way, it is impossible to find out who is behind the matter, and he can't treat these companies like a devil.
With that in mind. Yao Fei felt a little headache. I really have to take care of this matter properly, so let's wait until dawn over there and try to call someone.
"Good morning, Mr. Moore!"
I pinched the time and planted it at 1 o'clock in the middle of the night. Yao Fei picked up the phone in his hand on time. Proceed to start his long-distance call.
"Good morning. Mr. Yao Fei, oh no, it should be late at night over there. Then I should say good evening! ”
Moore was not surprised at all when he received Yao Fei's call.
"Yes, it's 1 o'clock in the night on my side, and I have something I want to ask Mr. Moore about, I wonder if you have time now?"
There are still many things that need to be done next, so Yao Fei does not plan to go around in circles, and at the same time, he does not plan to use the dialogue method with Sandstampton and Brighton, but chooses to get straight to the point.
"If it's not too long, I'd love to!"
Intel participated in the price increase, and also played a role in promoting it, and now Yao Fei asked, because of the cooperative relationship between the two companies, how can he show some friendliness, even if this friendliness is only superficial.
"Thank you, Mr. Moore, can you tell me why your company intends to choose to take collective price increase measures with nine other companies such as National Semiconductor, IBM, and Freescale for the chips purchased by our Hong Kong branch.
Isn't it possible that the price we gave before can't make you a profit, because as far as I know, in the past two months, the price of electronic-grade silicon rods in the international market has not fluctuated significantly, right? ”
Since the price of silicon crystal rods has not changed much, the price of their Intel price increase made Yao Fei uncomfortable, how can he be polite, he has to stretch out his right cheek to beat others after being beaten on the left cheek, such a situation, let alone Yao Fei, even if it is a turtle, he will not choose to accept it.
"I'm very sorry, we made a price increase request, on the one hand, because the delivery cycle is relatively short, which makes our production costs rise, and on the other hand, our company has signed an equivalence agreement with several other companies on this kind of low-integration chip purchased by your company, so we don't have too many options......"
Even if Yao Fei's words were a little unkind, Moore didn't choose to face him directly, the reason is not easy to find, there is just one thing to make up, and there are two, it is enough to send Yao Fei away.
As for if Yao Fei wants to get to the bottom of it, it's nothing, the matter of production cost is up to him anyway, and the equivalent agreement, they did sign some with other companies before, these were just used to ensure that they would not have malicious competition in low-end products, the specific provisions are not important, the important thing is that there is such an agreement.
In this way, everyone can get by on the face, and when people fly over the technology company, they should purchase processors from their company, and they will still purchase processors from their company, maximizing benefits, which is the ultimate pursuit of their company.
"Mr. Moore, I can understand, can you tell me which company or companies asked you to fulfill that equivalence agreement in the first place?"
Unexpectedly, there was such a secret hidden in this, if Moore could learn more from Moore what company required them to fulfill the agreement, then he would definitely be closer to the answer he wanted to know.
"I'm ......sorry that the CEO of Freescale, DEC, and Motorola contacted me personally and made such a request to me."
Don't simply think that he Moore only understands technology, in fact, he can run Intel to the point where he is now, technology alone is far from enough, but it may be that his technology completely covers up his other talents, such as this kind of thing that can run a train at will, forgive him Yao Fei is also unexpected, thinking of this, Moore is not only very proud of his performance.
"Thank you for being willing to tell me this, and I wish you all the best in your work, bye!"
The workload has increased again, it seems that he has to hurry up, and he got the answer he wants, Yao Fei said hello and hung up the phone in a hurry.
"Good luck too, bye!"
I'm afraid that good luck won't favor you, Moore laughed in his heart when he heard the blind tone on the phone.
After hanging up Moore's phone, Yao Fei found the phone number of Loki, the CEO of the National Semiconductor Company, from his notebook, and then dialed the other party...... (To be continued......)
