Chapter 230: It's Too Hard
Lin Ze swallowed his saliva and said with some difficulty: "Dimensity processor, 38 percent tax rate, sound card and graphics card, 16.5 percent, 56 percent personal computer, supercomputer.... Supercomputers are 485 percent! ”
Chen Weidong's heart sank.
It's so ruthless! The United States is trying to drive Infinity out of the market completely, leaving no room at all.
"Click!"
On the other side, Li Xi'er's hand shook, the pen fell on the table, and she didn't care about cleaning it up, so she walked over quickly, and asked with an ugly face: "What is their reason?" ”
"Reason? Does this need any more reason? Lin Zeju sneered, their Yellow River Group's business is all over the world, and they are very familiar with the business principles of the United States.
On the surface.
Murray firmly believes in the market economy and boasts of the concept of a liberal economy.
But in their bones, if anyone affects their interests, they will unscrupulously protect their own interests and force others to accept their products.
In some irrelevant markets, such as textiles, light industry, consumer electronics, they can pretend to be generous and communicate with you with normal business rules.
But in the core industry, this kind of industry that touches their interests, he will do his best to crack down, crack down on acquisitions that do not succeed, and acquisitions that do not achieve blocking.
In short, it is absolutely necessary to put the opponent to death.
As early as the 80s, computers made in island countries used to want to be exported to Southeast Asia.
However, the United States did not allow the computer industry of other countries to develop, so it forced the top officials of the island countries to intervene and finally blocked the deal.
Later, the island nation turned to supercomputers.
In the early nineties, certain results were achieved, with the hope of exporting to the United States.
As a result, the manufacturers of the island countries have already signed contracts with customers, and the United States International Trade Commission still ruled that the contract is invalid.
On the pretext of dumping by island countries, they have imposed ultra-high tariffs of 180 percent to 500 percent on all computer manufacturers in island countries.
The aim is to completely drive the computer manufacturers of the island countries out of the American market, so that those companies that develop and produce computers will not be profitable, or they will bear huge losses.
Lin Zeju saw that Li Xi'er was still persistently waiting for him to answer, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, he was really too young, he smiled bitterly: "There are many reasons for the United States, but the most important ones are two: first, it is determined that Infinity Company is a state-owned enterprise and has received special funding. ”
"The second reason, which is also their usual method, is that we are not a market economy, so the price of chips produced in China cannot be used as a reference for them."
"According to the average cost calculation of Australia, Canada and other countries, the products produced by Infinity High Company are significantly lower than the market cost, so they are judged to be dumped!"
"What nonsense!" Li Xi's little face flushed, "How can they be like this!" What kind of enterprise is Infinity Company, you can find out at a casual check, we have worked hard for so long to have today's scale, why do they say that we are a state-owned enterprise? ”
Chen Weidong and Lin Zeju smiled bitterly.
Americans, whether they know it or not, it doesn't matter, all they need is a reason, regardless of the facts.
"Or, we will open a few factories in the United States and bring domestic parts to them for local assembly, so that they can be considered American production, right?" Li Xi'er suddenly thought of a way and immediately proposed.
"It's useless, they have imposed high tariffs on loose items, besides, aren't the islanders the same as setting up a branch in the United States, but it's not the same, the United States just wants to kick you out, it's useless for you to do anything!" Lin Zeju shook his head and vetoed Li Xi'er's proposal. _o_m
They all looked at Chen Weidong, hoping that he could come up with something to solve this dilemma.
Chen Weidong drank all the tea on the desk, and knocked on the door of his head helplessly.
What could he do? America has resorted to this method, and if he can fight it, it will not be a man, but a god.
Besides, with the determination of the United States, once it affects their interests, even if God really comes, he.
He will also exclaim, "Devil! ”
The computer industry is related to the future strength of a country. Initial Update@
How could the United States watch Infinity develop and supply advanced computers to the market?
If those research institutions and various enterprises have reliable and reliable domestic chips to use, then who will sell the semiconductors they manufacture in the future?
Not to mention the infinity company, even for those allies of theirs, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan, are not ruthless and desperately suppressed.
What the United States wants is to become the hegemon of the industry, and there is no emotion to talk about this.
"Bell bell bell ~"
The phone on Li Xi'er's desk suddenly rang rapidly.
She walked over quickly, picked up the phone, listened to a few words, her face looked a little unhappy, and said, "Cancel it, cancel it, those wall grass, don't forget it." ”
Chen Weidong's eyes looked over, and his eyebrows moved slightly: "Who canceled the order?" ”
Li Xi'er nodded and said: "The sales department called and said that some small countries in Eastern Europe wanted to cancel the order, and each of them was stingy, only buying tens of thousands of processors, which was not much money, and they were bargaining, and it was easy to cancel." ”
Chen Weidong and Lin Zeju didn't see as much as her, they both looked at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that this was the United States behind the scenes.
It seems that next, they will block Infinity from all aspects.
It's too much to look up to them.
Is it necessary to use this kind of power against a small computer company?
Before they could speak, the phone on Chen Weidong's desk rang.
Chen Weidong rarely appears in public, and he has very few friends, so he knows his phone number and does not call many directly.
Generally, within the company, they call Li Xier, or find Chen Jie, and call Chen Weidong directly, usually they are very big people.
Chen Weidong picked up the phone, a little confused.
On the other side of the phone, it was Director Zhang, and his tone was very heavy: "Xiao Chen, recently.... Does it have a big impact on your company's business? ”
"It doesn't matter, Director Zhang, don't worry, we are working overtime to engage in production, and strive to complete the customer's order as soon as possible, this thing is not difficult for us." Chen Weidong's face pretended to be calm, and he said lightly in a joking tone.
However, after listening to what he said, Director Zhang sighed deeply on the other side of the phone, and said, "You relax first, we don't have a means to fight back.... Tomorrow... I'll work with... Come to your company to talk about this issue...."
Before Chen Weidong could speak, he hung up directly on the other end of the phone.
Chen Weidong thought about it, slowly put the phone back in place, trying to control his emotions and not have any fluctuations.
Facing Lin Zeju and Li Xi'er's worried eyes, he smiled slightly: "What are you worried about?" Computer products, even if we withdraw from the American market, won't there still be Europe? ”
"Take a step back, we can survive by relying on the domestic market, even in the worst case, don't we still have infinite private equity? So, the sky can't fall! ”
Lin Zeju and Li Xi'er heard him say this, and they also knew that there was no good solution for the time being.
They stayed for a while, understanding that it was useless to worry, so they could only cheer up and prepare to continue their work.
At this moment, the phone on Li Xi'er's desk rang loudly again.
Boy.
The three of you, look at me, I look at you, and your face has become a little ugly.
What's the bad news, how many shady tricks has the United States prepared?
Li Xi'er walked to the phone, took a deep breath, and then picked up the phone.
He now deeply understands how much pressure Chen Weidong has endured as the general manager to develop the company to this point.
This series of blows made her feel heavy and suffocated in her heart, but Chen Weidong was still so quiet.
"Hey! It's me, got it, okay, I got it. ”
。
Putting down the phone, her face turned even paler. Error-free updates @
Looking at Lin Zeju's somewhat uneasy expression, she looked at Chen Weidong and said softly: "Intel held a product launch conference in the morning, they are about to launch a Pentium 4 processing chip that supports sixty-four bits, manufactured using a 148-nanometer process, they did not use our extended instruction set, but developed their own multimedia instruction set, the old model of the Pentium machine, will be reduced by more than 30 percent, and the estimated price is 4,500 yuan!" ”
4,500 yuan, the same price as the current Dimensity host of Infinity Company!
Even, there is news from the outside world that Intel President Craig has taken a special plane overnight to the island country, ready to discuss cooperation with the new CEO of Sony, Norio Ohga.
Its purpose is self-evident.
Infinity companies, on all fronts, are facing crises at the same time!
