Chapter 201: Xia Wei's Dilemma

Xia is the R&D headquarters, and a group of backbones were called to the company for a meeting late at night.

"Is the news confirmed?"

"It has been confirmed that the chips will not be sold to us at all, and those companies are not allowed to produce them for us!"

"Made!" Nie Zhenyuan, the person in charge of mobile phone research and development, slammed his fist into the desktop in front of him.

No one could have imagined that suddenly chips would become a scarce resource.

"How much do we have in stock of chips?" Nie Zhenyuan looked at Fang Fuping, the head of the supply chain, and asked about the inventory.

"There are only tens of millions of pieces, and it is estimated that it will not last even half a year." Fang Fuping said bitterly, now this situation is really going to kill Xia Wei.

Who would have thought that all of a sudden this one would come! At the beginning, he signed a 2-year contract with Qualcomm, but suddenly Qualcomm did not hesitate to pay high liquidated damages and directly said that he had broken the contract.

One after another, several companies said that they would not cooperate with Xia Wei, which was obviously premeditated, to restrict Xia Wei's development.

"I don't want you to be sad, you have to find a way!" Nie Zhenyuan's face was serious, Xia Wei was at the time of rapid development, and this year's sales finally tied with Apple in the world.

I can't let go of such a good situation, I have to continue to maintain the market share in one go, and hold it firmly.

"Mr. Nie, now I can only take two steps, one step is to recycle the chips on the old machine, and first hold on as long as it can last; Another step is to find domestic alternatives, otherwise when all the chips are used up, we will really have no way to recover. ”

Fang Fuping can only think of this method in the supply chain, and there is no other way.

"Who can carry the girder now?" Nie Zhenyuan was powerless to talk to himself, although they Xia Wei had been investing in chips.

But unfortunately, the chip industry is not something that can be solved by money investment at all, and it still needs a lot of time.

So far, Xia Wei is confident that he will design his own Kirin chip within half a year at most, but it is useless to design it, and it can't be manufactured.

"Which company has the highest precision in the production of domestic chips?"

"At present, it is Tiannan Chip Technology, and the chairman is Ni Guangnan!"

"Ni Guangnan?" Nie Zhenyuan was a little surprised, he also knew a little about Ni Guangnan, when Ni Guangnan came out of Lenovo Technology, they were always going to dig people personally, but Ni Guangnan refused, and instead went to join Ark Technology.

The latter company also went out of business, and at that time, Ni Guangnan collapsed, and they gave up the idea of inviting again.

Now, Ni Guangnan has a third spring and has established another company?

"That's right, it's Ni Guangnan, he set up a new company a few years ago, called Tiannan Chip Technology, I heard that there is a big amount of money behind it, but no one knows who has such a big deal yet.

From raw materials to processing, it is basically the road of self-production, and I heard that there are more than 10 billion yuan invested in a few years. The effect is also significant, Ni Guangnan's old man, aiming for a thousand miles', is a domestic lithography machine every year, according to internal sources, next year they will announce the latest TN-0801 lithography machine can already produce 11nm chips. ”

“11nm?” This made Nie Zhenyuan a little surprised, if he remembered correctly, it was 23nm, right, and he broke through several orders of magnitude at once?

"Oh my God? How could it break through so quickly? Nie Zhenyuan said in surprise.

Don't underestimate the breakthrough from 23nm to 11nm, only a small 12nm is less, for chip processing accuracy, 2nm can be stuck by an order of magnitude. An order of magnitude could be several years of technology accumulation.

"Can you acquire Tiannan Chip Technology?" Nie Zhenyuan said, such a good thing, naturally have to find a way to be their own, at least inject shares,

Just like Intel and Qualcomm did with Asmail, they exchanged the right to first refrain from production by way of share injection.

"I haven't talked about acquisitions or shareholdings, only filings!" Fang Fuping shook his head, mainly because Xia Wei has relatively little contact with Tiannan Chip Technology, and their supply chain has become self-contained.

The 23nm lithography machine announced by Tiannan Chip Technology is in a position that is not up or down, and it is not worth Xia Wei to make a big move.

In the final analysis, it was their lack of preparation for the summer and did not take precautions.

If you are well prepared, it would be good to support or invest in Ni Guangnan's company as soon as possible.

"Book a few air tickets for a business trip, let's go talk to Ni Guangnan!" Nie Zhenyuan said with a final word.

I have to say that Xia Wei's execution efficiency is very high, and the next day, Nie Zhenyuan met Ni Guangnan.

When he heard that Nie Zhenyuan's intention was to buy shares, Ni Guangnan of course refused without thinking about it.

Not to mention that Ma Tiancai is the helmsman behind it, even if he can speak, he will not sell the shares all at once, the reason is that the world far underestimates Tiannan chip technology.

"Mr. Ni, let's listen to our Xia Wei's sincerity before deciding!" Nie Zhenyuan said with a smile.

Xia Wei has developed rapidly in the past two years, with an annual income of more than 400 billion, and he has long been wealthy.

Nie Zhenyuan is confident that he will offer a valuation that Ni Guangnan is shocking.

"Say it!" Hearing this, Ni Guangnan couldn't help but be a little interested, and also smiled, wanting to see how much Xia Wei could drive.

"The valuation is 50 billion, and we will pay 20 billion to buy 40% of the shares!" Nie Zhenyuan thought for a while and said.

Since someone has estimated that Tiannan Technology has invested 10 billion in chips, Xia Wei will offer the price at a valuation of nearly 5 times.

This price is absolutely sincere enough, you must know that the current Tiannan chip technology is still unable to make ends meet, and it has been losing money.

It's all about investing in the future, and it's a big bet.

Buying 40% of the shares is also considered properly, which will not let Ni Guangnan lose control of the company, and allow Xia Wei to hold the key veto power.

Tut-tut, Ni Guangnan also took a sip of tea, and was shocked by Xia Wei's wealth, the last time he was smashed by money was Ma Tian, Ma Tian's mouth was 10 billion.

When did the starting point start with 10 billion as a unit of measurement?

"Unfortunately, it is impossible to sell the shares to you!" Ni Guangnan refused after drinking tea, he felt Xia Wei's sincerity, but he really couldn't be the master in this situation. He knew that 20 billion pairs of horses were nothing.

Nie Zhenyuan looked at Ni Guangnan, who had a resolute tone, and immediately frowned, he was thinking about whether he should tell Ni Guangnan a little bit about the situation that Xia Wei encountered.

If it is revealed, will Ni Guangnan help keep it secret or even loosen his mouth to help?

After thinking about it, Nie Zhenyuan didn't decide to reveal what Xia Wei encountered right away, and he could hide the problem of insufficient mobile phone chips for as long as he could.

He pulled up with Ni Guangnan: "Ni Lao, I still say the same thing, don't be in a hurry to refuse, if there is anything dissatisfied, we can discuss it again, we are really optimistic about your company!" ”
