Chapter 550 The supply chain is coming up and it’s a hit (two-in-one)
Toyo, Tokyo.
Tsingshan Jump Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
Aoyama Semiconductor Company is regarded as a long-established semiconductor raw material supply company in Japan.
The 1970s and 1980s, including the early 1990s.
Aoyama Beats is the most important semiconductor raw material supply company in Japan.
Companies receiving goods include HP, Foxconn, Sony, etc.
Qingshan Beat also made a lot of money by taking advantage of the opportunity of Japan's economic leap.
Okada Aoyama, the original boss of Tsingshan Beat, once had an ambitious ambition - to become the world's largest supplier of semiconductor materials.
He even inspired to develop his own semiconductor terminal products.
However, in the 1970s and 1980s, Dongyang's real estate entered its final craze, and Qingshan Tiaodong, which had a large amount of cash, could not resist the temptation of the market and invested huge sums of money in real estate projects.
But everyone knows what happened next.
After the Plaza Accord, Japan's semiconductor market plummeted.
The upstream and downstream industrial chains of semiconductor products have been greatly affected.
Tsingshan Tiaodou's business also shrank extremely, once falling to freezing point.
Then came the Japanese economic recession and the real estate bubble burst.
A large amount of Qingshan Tiaodou's funds were invested in the real estate industry, which disappeared overnight.
Not only was the cash and house gone, but he also owed a lot of debt to banks and various bondholders.
In 1990, Okada Aoyama could not bear the pressure and felt unable to explain to his family and investors.
So he committed suicide in the company's office by covering his head with a plastic bag.
Qingshan Tiaodou Company plummeted, and a large number of assets were seized by the bank.
In the end, only the company's old headquarters and some semiconductor raw material production workshops remained.
Aoyama Okada's son, Aoyama Taiga, was studying in the United States when the family business and his father were in crisis, so he was lucky enough to escape this crisis.
After his father passed away, Aoyama Dahe returned from the United States and took over the family business.
Qingshan Dahe is a more pragmatic person, because a dead camel is bigger than a horse, and Qingshan Tiaodou still has a certain accumulation of technology and equipment.
Therefore, Qingshan Dahe has regrouped and continued to develop the semiconductor raw materials industry.
And he used his connections while studying in the United States to sell the raw materials produced by his factory to companies such as Amap, Texas Instruments, and Intel.
But the good times did not last for a few years, especially after the Asian financial crisis, Tsingshan Beat fell into crisis again.
On the one hand, the Asian financial crisis caused the collapse of a large number of semiconductor production companies.
On the other hand, it also prompted companies such as Qualcomm and Inter to transfer their industrial chains to countries and regions such as South Korea, India, Thailand, Lion City and even the Xiawanwan region where prices are cheaper.
Qingshan jumped and there were no orders.
The company is once again in crisis.
After 2000, TiMC has risen strongly.
Behind TiMC is the semiconductor industry chain in the Wanwan region.
Therefore, Intel does not need to go to Tsingshan Diance to get the goods. It can get the goods directly from the Wanwan area, or outsource the production of chips to Tibetan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and let Tibetan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. handle the supply problem of semiconductor materials.
Since then, even if Tsingshan Tiaodian has the technology and production workshops, it has been unable to gain market share.
Qingshan Dahe couldn't support it any longer, and he himself was planning to sell his wafer company as soon as possible and transition to other industries.
At this time, Qingshan Dahe met Zhang Jing and his party from Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.
That was really a case of drowsiness hitting the pillow.
The two parties hit it off immediately, and under Chen Xiao's instruction, Yanjiang Semiconductor Company acquired all the shares and production lines of Qingshan Tiaodian Company for 10 million yuan.
This transaction did not cause any sensation in the entire capital community, and no one even cared about it.
But this is unique in Xia Guo Semiconductor and even in business history.
For the first time, a technology company from Xia Guo fully acquired a technology company from Dongyang.
In these years, most Japanese technology companies have built factories in the Xiaguo area to recruit workers to become their bosses.
There will never be a Xia Guo company to acquire Dongyang's company.
In fact, when the cooperation agreement was signed, Qingshan Dahe was still a little confused.
If we put it in the past, someone from the Xia Kingdom would come to talk to me about cooperation.
Qingshan Dahe must be very disdainful.
Because those doing business with Tsingshan Tiaoshan are European and American companies, and at the worst, they are local semiconductor companies in Japan.
Why do you, a Xiaguo enterprise, come to discuss business with me?
In this era, Xia Guo represents ignorance and backwardness, and there are no powerful technology companies at all.
As for so-called technology companies like Lianxiang, they can deceive the feelings of Xia people, but they cannot deceive the eyes of Japanese people.
But today is different.
The green mountains and rivers are very clear.
Except for Yanjiang Semiconductor Company, no investor or company in the world will be interested in Qingshan Beat.
Because compared with the wafer supply companies in the vibrant Benwan area, or the semiconductor companies in South Korea, the aging Qingshan Beats is simply shabby and uncompetitive.
So with no choice, Qingshan Dahe signed a cooperation agreement with Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.
Zhang Jing and his team came to the factory in Qingshan.
I saw the Japanese workers and technicians in the factory working hard.
This is the order Yanjiang Semiconductor just gave to Qingshan Tiaodian.
The total number of orders in the first batch is as high as 2 million knives.
Zhang Jing wanted to use RMB for settlement, but Dongyang did not agree.
As expected, RMB’s internationalization journey has not yet begun.
Qingshan Dahe introduced Zhang Jing to the technical director of the factory and some technical workers.
It also made it clear that the company has been sold to Yanjiang Semiconductor Company, and Zhang Jing will be the new boss of Qingshan Tiaodian in the future.
The Japanese technical director and a large number of employees rushed over and lined up to nod and bow to Zhang Jing, looking very humble and humble.
Zhang Jing felt a little emotional at this time.
The Japanese people actually nodded and bowed to the Xia people.
The reason why Zhang Jing felt so deeply was because his father used to work in a steel mill in Shanghai.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the steel mills moved to the mountain city along with the large armies, and were integrated into the military industrial system and became an arsenal.
Zhang Jing's father also worked in the arsenal, producing supplies and weapons for the frontline troops, which could be regarded as making his due contribution to the Anti-Japanese War.
When Zhang Jing was a child, he heard his father say that what his father hated most was Japanese people.
Especially when Japanese planes bombed mountain towns, a large number of innocent people were killed and injured.
Although Zhang Jing has never experienced this kind of pain, it is engraved in his bones along with his genes.
Therefore, the people of Zhang Jing’s generation have a strong sense of national identity and national sentiments, which are hard to compare to those clowns and frogs in the future.
Zhang Jing was not polite at all to his subordinates, nor did he show any good looks.
Directly and seriously guided the technical managers on production issues and required them to produce the ordered products as soon as possible.
No matter if you are 996 or 007, Zhang Jing only wants one result, that is, he must have the goods!
Sure enough, the character of Japanese people is to bully the weak and fear the strong. The more angry you are with them, the more afraid they will be.
On the contrary, if you are polite to him, he will immediately sit on your head and pee.
Sure enough, after Zhang Jing made a serious request, the technical director and the company manager kept nodding and bowing, indicating that the task would be completed.
Zhang Jing's time on business trip in Japan was full of achievements.
Semiconductor raw material supply companies, including Tsingshan Jump, have transported a steady stream of refined wafers to Xiaguo Shanghai.
At the same time, Jiang Zhou continued to supervise production at Shanghai Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.
The production line was immediately improved according to Chen Xiao's plan.
Let all production lines concentrate on photolithography and subsequent work.
In this way, the entire production capacity has more than doubled.
At the end of November, Yanjiang Semiconductor's mass production was finally able to keep up.
The first batch is chips, which first meet the needs of relevant national departments and special industries.
Of course, Angda motherboards are matched with a batch of chips.
Chen Xiao asked Wang Xiang to rush to Shanghai in person to urge the chips to be transported to Yanjing and handed over to the relevant person in charge.
The first batch of chips cannot yet meet all the needs of relevant industries in the country and can only be regarded as the first delivery.
While meeting the country's related chip needs, Shenchuan has finally received a large number of chips, and no longer has to worry about how many hours a month it can produce or one or two hundred Jiaolong computers.
The Shenchuan sales store in Shenzhen City has the supply of goods immediately.
Wu Jun knew that such a small amount of goods would definitely not be enough to sell.
But at least, the first step of the Shenchuanjiaolong series has been completed.
In Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen City.
No information can be hidden.
Some PC wholesalers in Huaqiangbei learned the news instantly, and their first reaction was to rush for goods!
The Shenchuan Jiaolong series is cheap! And its overall performance is very high.
If you buy this kind of comprehensive PC from Lenovo or other brands, the price will be at least 3,000 to 5,000 yuan more expensive.
If you buy Intel chips yourself to configure a computer with such comprehensive performance, it will cost about 3,000 yuan more.
And if you configure your own computer, you won't be able to buy a 120g carbon crystal hard drive and two gigabytes of carbon crystal memory.
So these big bosses in Huaqiangbei took action upon hearing the news.
I rushed to the Shenzhou sales store as soon as possible to buy a computer.
If these computers can be obtained, they can be resold.
Not to mention 3,500, there is a profit of 1,000 or 2,000.
So when Shenchuan delivered the Jiaolong series computers to the sales points, the entire sales points were besieged.
The elders in Huaqiangbei are also rich.
After all, electronic consumer goods such as computers are fast-selling products.
Basically, they pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the same hand, so they have plenty of cash in hand.
Boss Wang, who is on the third floor of SEG Plaza, has been in the computer assembly business and computer agency business for corresponding brands for ten years.
He directly brought 1 million in cash today and finally squeezed into the store.
Boss Wang panted and asked his assistant to put more than 1 million in cash on the counter, and said loudly: "Prepare 130 units for me, I will do cash transactions here!"
"Don't worry about the graphics card or anything like that. I'll install it myself!"
The standard configuration of the Jiaolong P series is priced at 7,699 yuan.
A little over 1 million, enough to buy 130 units.
The reason why Boss Wang made this decision today is because in the past two months, no less than 200 customers have called him to inquire about Jiaolong computers.
These more than 200 customers are not individual customers, but wholesale customers from all over the country.
The total number of individual customers they correspond to may be in the thousands or tens of thousands.
130 Jiaolong computers can definitely be sold.
Boss Wang calculated based on the profit of at least 1,000 yuan for one computer, the net profit of 130 units would be 130,000 yuan.
In 2004, 130,000 was not a small number.
What's more, this kind of business of buying and selling takes no effort or brain at all.
Boss Wang really wants to buy more computers, but he only has so much cash now.
When Boss Wang did this, the sales staff was dumbfounded.
If one customer buys more than 100 units, what will happen to the subsequent customers?
Boss Wang was worried again, "You should move faster! It's not like I don't pay for the things I buy here!"
Boss Wang's behavior made the people in line behind him a little dissatisfied, and everyone criticized him one after another.
"Boss Wang, you are not interesting enough. You take more than 100 units of goods at one time. What will we do if the goods are sold out?"
"That's right, just buy one of 10 or 20 units and go back to try it out, and give us some opportunities!"
No one will give in before interests.
Boss Wang said very unhappy: "I asked people to queue up here two or three days ago, and today I am the first in line. I must buy as much as I want, and it's not like I won't pay for it!"
These words made the people behind very unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.
The sales manager has never encountered this situation.
Because these computer wholesalers usually want to purchase Shenchuan computers in batches, they usually negotiate directly with the company instead of getting the goods from retail outlets.
But this time is different. This time, the number of Jiaolong series computers is not large, and wholesalers cannot get the goods from the company, so they can only grab the goods from retail stores.
The sales manager quickly reported the situation to the head office.
Wu Jun believes that since all the goods have been taken away by these wholesalers, what will ordinary consumers buy?
Ordinary consumers can only buy goods from these wholesalers at a higher price.
This is very detrimental to the entire Shenchuan brand building.
There is no need to ask Chen Xiao for instructions on this kind of thing.
Wu Jun made a prompt decision and issued the order.
All wholesalers can only purchase 20 units at a time.
Ordinary consumers can purchase two units at a time with their ID cards.
Wu Jun even had some regrets.
He never thought that the Jiaolong series would be so popular.
Maybe the price should be raised?
After receiving the instructions from the head office, the staff at the Shenzhou sales point made arrangements immediately.
Knowing that he could only buy 20 units, Boss Wang was very helpless, but he had no choice but to pay for the goods.
After all, other people can get it, but the divine ship cannot be offended.
In just one morning, the first batch of 5,000 Jiaolong computers were swept away.
On this day of Shenzhou, the revenue of the Jiaolong series alone reached 31 million yuan!
Shenship's retail store has become a warehouse for picking up goods.
This is a pretty scary number.
It also created a record for the Divine Ship.
All of them were taken away by wholesalers, and consumers didn't buy a single one.
Representatives from Lianxiang and Intel, who finally arrived, went to the counter and asked, but there was no stock.
The two looked at each other, and suddenly realized that the other party was an acquaintance, which made them very embarrassed.
Because they are both familiar with each other and know each other's identities.
Everyone knows each other's purpose - to obtain goods and research!
