Chapter 30: Is Xia Xin International Crazy?
Xiaxin International, meeting room!
In today's conference room, Ye Fei was also sitting in it.
There is a cooperative relationship between Xia Xin International and Ye Fei Scientific Research Institute, after the chip is developed.
Xia Xin International accounts for 70% of the interests, and Ye Fei Science Research Institute accounts for 30% of the interests.
In addition, the manufacturing, operation, sales, and publicity of the chip in the later stage are all responsible for Xiaxin International.
And Ye Fei Scientific Research Institute only takes money and research and development.
Ye Fei Scientific Research Institute is 100% controlled by Ye Fei himself.
Therefore, all the money earned by Ye Fei Scientific Research Institute, except for costs, was obtained by Ye Fei.
This is equivalent to saying that Ye Fei has gained thirty percent of the benefits in the chip.
Qu Guangfu sat in the first seat, and Ye Fei sat in the first seat on his right.
Qu Guangfu said in high spirits: "Our chip has been developed, and you have seen the performance, it can be said that it is the best chip in the world, and there is no one." ”
All the directors had a smile on their faces.
They got the bet right, and then the value skyrocketed!
Qu Guangfu said: "I think so, for the time being, let's not publicize the successful development of the chip to the outside world." ”
Everyone looked at Qu Guangfu in surprise.
If you do not announce the success of chip research and development.
Then, the company's stock will keep falling.
Qu Guangfu said: "Listen to me." ”
"First, 90% of our company's shares in the past were in the stock market and were bought by retail investors."
"In the next time, the company will invest a lot of financial resources in chip manufacturing and lay out the global chip industry."
"So, taking advantage of the low stock price, the company has to take back most of the shares."
"If the chip development is announced successfully, the company's stock will definitely rise rapidly."
"Therefore, we are now buying a large number of shares, waiting until the success of chip research and development is announced, and the value of the shares has risen, and then the shares will flow into the stock market, so that we can get a lot of cash flow."
The reason is simple, buy at a low price and sell at a high price.
Earn the difference and get more cash flow for the company.
"Second, the company will next acquire a large number of parts manufacturing plants to manufacture lithography machines."
"If it is announced at this time that the chip research and development is successful, and we buy the parts manufacturing plants, those parts manufacturing factories will definitely be at a premium."
"Third, the patents that the company leased with many companies around the world in the past will no longer be leased at that time."
"If it is announced that the chip is successfully developed, they will definitely start the contract and let us continue to rent, which is a waste of money."
"Fourth, the company should lay out the chip industry in the world, such as taking buildings, buying factories, and so on."
"If we announce the success of chip development, countries will definitely stop us."
"Therefore, we must prepare for the future layout of the global chip industry before they react."
"That's what I think."
Everyone nodded slightly, I see!
If so, it is true that declaring the success of chip research and development will do more harm than good.
Although it is said that it can let the Chinese people know that Xia Guo has the best chips in the world, which can enhance national confidence.
However, the later layout of the global chip industry and chip manufacturing will bring a lot of obstacles.
Qu Guangfu saw Ye Fei and said with a smile: "Academician Ye, what do you think?" ”
Ye Fei said: "I don't care, everything is arranged by Qu Dong." ”
"Hmm!" Qu Guangfu nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding." ”
Qu Guangfu looked at the directors and said, "Next, the company's arrangement is like this. ”
"First, buy stocks!"
"Second, borrow 100 billion yuan from banks for the layout of chip manufacturing."
"I will talk to the above about this, and strive to get a low interest."
For large listed companies like Xia Guo International, the loan interest rate is between 4.35% and 5.15%.
However, Xiaxin International is to develop chips.
If you negotiate with the state, the interest rate on the loan will be lower.
There is even a possibility that some of the loans will be interest-free.
"Third, as long as the bank's money comes down, it will buy a large number of parts manufacturing plants around the world, and strive to manufacture a large number of lithography machines in a short period of time."
"Fourth, buy land, buy buildings, and expand the scale of branches in the world, and all important cities in the world must have our branches."
"Attract global talent, with at least 10,000 employees in each branch."
In the past, Xiaxin International also had branches in all important cities around the world.
However, at that time, Xia Xin International did not think about making waves in the international chip market.
Therefore, the branches are not large, and each branch may only have a few hundred employees, or even dozens of people.
"Fifth, the legal department will sort out every article of the contract, and some patents will expire, and those that should be broken will be broken."
"EDA software in particular is not needed anymore."
Ye Fei's team developed a supporting EDA software based on the developed lithography machine.
"We are the EDA software rented by Kaideng Electronics, and it is about to expire!"
Cadon Electronics is a software company specializing in EDA and is the world's largest provider of EDA, semiconductor technology solutions and design services.
The headquarters is located in San Jose, California.
Among all the patents leased by Xiaxin International, EDA software has the highest annual patent fee, reaching 750 million US dollars.
The price of renting a set of EDA software for a lithography machine is one million dollars a year.
Xiaxin International has 750 lithography machines.
That's $750 million a year just to rent EDA software.
Xiaxin International's annual turnover is only 9 billion US dollars.
This is equivalent to one-twelfth of the turnover being used to rent EDA software.
However, in the past, they did not have EDA software and had to lease the EDA software patent of Cadendon Electronics.
Someone said: "Yes, it's going to expire in the near future." ”
"Hmm!" Qu Guangfu said: "Now that we have EDA software, we don't use them anymore. ”
"Besides, their EDA software is not suitable for our newly developed lithography machine."
"Isn't renting their EDA software a waste of money!"
Everyone nodded, this is the truth.
After the meeting adjourned!
Ye Fei and Qu Guangfu returned to Qu Guangfu's office.
After the two sat down, Qu Guangfu asked the assistant to bring tea to the two.
Qu Guangfu said: "Academician Ye, are you going to leave in the next few days?" ”
"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Qu Guangfu said very sincerely: "I don't think you should leave, stay with me, I will give you a position as a director, and the research base will be in charge of you!" ”
Ye Fei shook his head and smiled: "Qu Dong, I have a lot of other things to do!" ”
"Really?" Qu Guangfu was very reluctant.
"No!" Ye Fei shook his head.
"Alright then!" Qu Guangfu said: "When I am the company's technical consultant and part-time vice president, this is always okay!" ”
Ye Fei thought for a moment and nodded, "That's okay." ”
Ye Fei has been working as a technical consultant in several companies.
The technical consultant and the vice president are all temporary positions, and the work is very leisurely.
I can't do a lot in a year.
It is equivalent to the company spending a lot of money to support an idler, and only when it encounters some difficulties, it will look for them.
The next day, Ye Fei drove back to Jinling.
After returning to Jinling, he first learned about the Meta Blockchain Research Institute and the Science Research Institute.
Fan Zedao: "The business of the Meta Blockchain Research Institute has extended to 70% of the world's countries. ”
"Of all the countries that cooperate with our institute, 95% of them have joined the international Web3.0 alliance."
Ye Fei asked, "Have Beili and Canada joined?" ”
"Nope!" Fan Ze shook his head and sneered: "These two countries are really stubborn, haven't they seen the reality clearly?" ”
Ye Fei said: "They can see it clearly, but they are unwilling!" ”
After that, Ye Fei learned about the Academy of Science again.
The first phase of the building has been built and the renovation has been completed.
It's just that because Ye Feiren has been in the magic capital, the building is vacant.
Ye Fei instructed the personnel director of the Yuan Blockchain Research Institute, "Help me recruit people into the Science Research Institute." ”
"Okay, Dean!"
Magic City, Xia Xin International!
Small meeting room!
At this moment, the people from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Justice of Xiaxin International are preparing to negotiate with Kaideng Electronics to end the renewal of EDA software.
The crowd sat around a long table, and in front of them was a 98-inch LCD screen.
At this moment, the display shows a group of white people sitting around a conference table.
They looked at Xia Xin International and the others with very arrogant expressions.
They knew that the market was on their side, and Xiaxin International had to lease their EDA software patents.
One of the white men said arrogantly, "Li, this time we have to raise our royalties." ”
"In the past five years, the patent fee has been $1 million a year, and this year it will be increased to $1.1 million."
Don't look at it just a hundred thousand dollars.
Xiaxin International has 750 lithography machines, and if it is increased by 100,000 US dollars, Xiaxin International will have to pay an additional 75 million US dollars in patent fees.
The director of the Ministry of Commerce said expressionlessly: "Sorry, Mr. George, now I officially inform your company that after the expiration of the EDA software patent lease contract between Xia Xin International and you, I will no longer lease your patents. ”
The people of Kaiden Electronics were stunned when they heard the director's words.
Then, George said in disbelief, "Lee, what you said is true?" Do your words represent Xiaxin International? ”
"Of course!" "This is the result of the deliberations of our board of directors. ”
George was shocked and said, "Are you Xia Xin International crazy?" ”
"If you don't rent our patents, how will your lithography machine work?"
"Are you renting EDA software patents from other companies?"
"Lee, our company's EDA software is the best EDA software in the world."
"Your company uses EDA software from other companies, can you make good chips?"
The director said: "This does not need to be taken care of by your company, this is an internal matter of our company, and I have nothing to say." ”
George sneered: "Is your company driven crazy by ASML?" ”
"Your company doesn't use our company's EDA software, but uses other companies' EDA software."
"I'll see what good chips you can make."
"Now the situation of your company is very unoptimistic, I heard that the stock has fallen to 30 yuan per share."
"If you can't make good chips, I think the stock will fall to 20 yuan per share."
Before the fall of Xia Xin International's shares, the stock price was 63 yuan per share, and the market value shrank by a little more than half.
The director said coldly: "Mr. George, I can sue you for your current words and deeds to slander my company's reputation. ”
George said: "You wait for me, and if you want to rent our EDA software patent in the future, I will raise the price fiercely." ”
After saying that, the offline sign is displayed on the display.
Proof of the fact that the people of Cadon Electronics were rude to close and their video calls.
Seeing the offline sign, the director laughed and said: "Cool, it's so cool, I feel very cool when I see these old devils annoyed and angry, haha......"
In the past, they were like grandsons in front of the people of Kaiden Electronics.
But from now on, they don't need to be grandchildren in front of them anymore.
Someone laughed and said: "Director, what you just said is not ruthless enough, if you want me to say, we should put some cruel words and anger them." ”
"Yes!" Another human: "Director, how angry we were in front of them in the past, we should be angry with them, and also avenge our past humiliation." ”
"Forget it!" The director shook his head: "No point. ”
"Besides, as long as they know that we have developed the chip later, plus we don't use their EDA software."
"They're sure they know that we've developed EDA software as well."
"When the time comes, they will vomit blood in anger."
"Haha......" everyone laughed and said, "Yes! ”
Beili Guo, Kaideng Electronics, in the conference room!
George said angrily: "Xia Xin International, these fools, the situation forced by ASML is already so unoptimistic, and now they still refuse to use our EDA software." ”
"A bunch of idiots, retarded, garbage!"
Kaideng Electronics sees that the situation of Xiaxin International is not optimistic.
Therefore, the lease fee for the EDA software patent leased to Xiaxin International will be increased by 100,000 US dollars.
Originally, they thought they would make a lot of money, but they didn't expect Xiaxin International to not lease their patents.
The plan fell through, much to George's chagrin.
A middle-aged white man frowned and said suspiciously, "Why don't they rent our EDA software?" ”
"With the current situation of Xiaxin International, it is impossible to manufacture good chips with EDA software from other companies, and the situation will be even less optimistic."
"If they do this, it's equivalent to suicide, they shouldn't do such a stupid thing!"
"Moreover, this behavior turned out to be discussed by the board of directors of Xia Xin International, what are the people of Xia Xin International thinking?"
George gritted his teeth and said, "Who knows what those idiots at Xia Xin International think." ”
"Hmph......" George snorted coldly, "When they see that EDA software from other companies can't be used, they will still come to us obediently." ”
"When the time comes, I'm going to raise the price to $1.3 million."
