After the establishment of Pascal Company, it is expected that the factory will be built soon.
Since the factory building is a steel structure building, and Xia Guo employees came to construct it, if the land problem is solved, the construction period will be less than one month.
The relevant production equipment is also provided by Changtian Technology and shipped directly from Xia Kingdom.
Pascal will be able to produce related hardware products by the end of March or early April at the earliest.
All finished products after production will be sold under the name of Pascal Company.
Both Changtian Technology and Buyige are quite low-key.
But throughout the mobile phone industry, this matter still spread.
HTC's headquarters was quite surprised when they heard the news, and of course they were applauded.
If HTC purchases Pascal's carbon crystal storage or carbon crystal memory, it will be able to perfectly avoid regulatory risks in the US market.
HTC's main market is indeed in the United States, but with the development of Xia's economy and its layout in Europe during this period.
Sales in Europe and Asia have slowly begun to catch up with the United States, becoming one of HTC's most important markets.
France is a member of the European Union.
And Pascal Company is a French company.
If HTC uses Pascal's hardware, its headquarters may be boycotted by the European market, right?
Figured this out.
Htc's headquarters immediately formulated two sets of measures.
The first set of measures is to continue to purchase hardware from Changtian Technology.
If one day mobile phones equipped with Changtian Technology hardware cannot be sold in the US market.
Then HTC will immediately place an order from Pascal and sell the hardware equipped with Pascal to the United States and Europe.
This can be regarded as a curve to save the market.
Even if the United States still does not allow carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drives to enter the market, at least the European market will be preserved.
Then HTC will take the second measure at this time.
Mobile phones sold to the United States will be equipped with memory and storage from Samsung or other brands.
Mobile phones in Europe and Asia will continue to be equipped with carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage.
That is, no matter what means are taken.
HTC can at least keep its markets in Asia and Europe.
As for the US market, if there is a loss, there is nothing we can do.
After understanding this, HTC immediately sent a team to France to find the newly established Pascal Company and order hundreds of thousands of pieces of hardware.
People are used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, so it is difficult for them to swallow kimchi and cold rice.
After consumers have used products with very powerful performance, it is absolutely impossible for them to use some outdated products.
Apple also holds the same idea.
In fact, Apple was very anxious during this period.
Because in less than two weeks, Apple will release a new generation of mobile phones, iPhone 4S.
The iPhone 4S has made significant progress in terms of both the chip (Samsung is unwilling to lose a partner like Apple and the opportunity to make money, so it still assists Apple in the production of the A5 chip) and the screen.
The only thing that is not confirmed is whether it will use Changtian Technology’s carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage.
This was good. When Jobs learned that Pascal was established, he immediately sent a team to France like HTC to place a large order for Pascal's semiconductor products.
Of course, like HTC, all this is being done in secret.
For its own benefit, Apple will never disclose relevant information to Wall Street capital (except for the capital behind it).
The interests among American capital are intricate.
The purpose of most capital is to make money.
If Changtian Technology can make him money, such as IDG, of course they are willing to cooperate with Changtian Technology.
If Changtian Technology prevents them from making money, like Goldman Sachs and Morgan.
Of course, these capitals will take measures to prohibit Changtian Technology from participating in industries that compete with them.
The game between capitals is always going on.
Capital in this world is never black and white in a pure sense.
This is why, on the one hand, the American politicians are always talking about Xia Guo, whether in public or in private.
On the other hand, the companies or capital behind these policies are unwilling to give up the rapidly developing market of Xia State and are investing crazily in Xia State.
Chen Xiao also cleverly took advantage of the complexity of capital and exploited the loopholes of capitalism.
At this time, the funniest and most surprising scene in the history of a semiconductor company happened.
While a company's factory was still under construction, its orders were already scheduled for a year later.
However, this kind of news also makes Buyige, the parent company of Pascal Company, very excited.
This proves that the cooperation between them and Changtian Technology is not wrong.
And at the Apple press conference a week later.
Wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, Jobs stood on the stage and announced the revolutionary mobile phone product iPhone 4S.
Jobs only announced the iPhone 4S chip screen and other parameters, as well as suppliers.
When talking about memory and storage, Jobs only mentioned the relevant size parameters, neither the supplier nor the read and write speed.
The purpose of this is also to obscure the fact that Apple purchases hardware from Changtian Technology.
But in the mobile phone industry, after all, there are many professionals.
As soon as they saw Apple's memory and stored data, they knew that Apple would still purchase Changtian Technology's hardware.
This kind of parameters cannot be produced by other companies.
But at the press conference.
The attentive reporter noticed a scene that had nothing to do with mobile phone products.
That was Jobs' mental state.
Although the scene was lit with lights and Jobs was dressed very energetically.
But this can't hide Jobs's very poor mental state.
There are many pauses when he speaks, and his breathing rate is much faster than when iPhone 4 was released last year.
In addition, his body has some crotches, as if he is not feeling well.
After the press conference, crazy Apple fans are eagerly looking forward to the phone being put on sale as soon as possible.
Reporters, on the other hand, are paying attention to Jobs' health.
A few years ago, news broke that Steve Jobs had been suffering from cancer and had been fighting cancer for so many years.
The first thing he did was go to Chen Xiao's office to report on his work in France.
In fact, Wang Xiang has a lot of things that he doesn't understand.
He took a cup by himself, poured some water, took two sips and said:
"Mr. Chen, I just watched the news about Apple's iPhone 4S launch conference."
"At the press conference, Apple did not clearly indicate that it wanted to purchase our hardware products."
"In the memory and storage parameter remarks, other parameters are also written in parentheses."
"That is to say, Apple is very likely to abandon our products and continue to purchase Samsung or other brands."
"And we currently have not received any more orders from Apple."
"Hypothetical! I mean hypothetical!"
Wang Xiang said anxiously: "Suppose Apple or HTC uses Changtian Technology's hardware and encounters trouble, and needs to purchase Pascal's hardware as a replacement."
"Currently, Pascal's factories are still under construction, and the equipment has not yet been delivered. Even if the order is finally accepted, it will probably be too late."
Chen Xiao had also considered this issue at the beginning.
Chen Xiao smiled and said to Wang Xiang: "Pascal Company produces carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage. It does not start from raw materials. Instead, we send the corresponding accessories here, and the factory over there starts assembly directly."
"So when I set up this company, I left a loophole that I could exploit."
"The accessories we send can be carbon crystal particles, control chips and casings, or they can be complete carbon crystal storage and packaging boxes."
“The quantity is enough and the control is enough!”
After Chen Xiao said this with a smile, Wang Xiang suddenly realized.
It turns out that from beginning to end, Pascal Company was just a front.
If the conditions of Pascal Company are mature, of course it can have its own factory, its own production line and its own workers.
Can produce carbon crystal storage.
But if the conditions of Pascal Company are not mature, then it can completely become a leather bag company and directly sell Changtian Technology's hardware products as an agent.
Since it is a leather bag company, its main task is not production but OEM.
After understanding this, Wang Xiang couldn't help but give Chen Xiao a thumbs up.
Although Chen Xiao is a scientific research businessman.
But when it comes to cheating and cheating in the mall, he is no worse than those old foxes on Wall Street.
Wang Xiang raised his second question.
"The dividend ratio between us and France is 4:6. In fact, it is close to 5:5. But France does nothing. Is this ratio too high?"
After all, carbon crystal products have huge profits.
On the surface, France only provides a sales channel, but it has to share the profits of four levels.
This made Wang Xiang feel a little uncomfortable.
It’s not just Wang Xiang.
Many Changtian Technology employees also have questions about this.
The employees of Changtian Technology are quite proud.
Because it is their hard work that has made Changtian Technology what it is today.
Thinking about the partners in France, just by providing a sales channel or doing an OEM, they can make huge profits.
No matter who this matter happens to, it makes people feel very unhappy.
Chen Xiao said to Wang Xiang: "Some things cannot be judged with money."
"Pascal Company was indeed a leather company before it formed production capacity, but this will help us alleviate the external environment."
"And achieve a monopoly on mobile phone hardware."
"This will play a vital role in Changtian Technology's future products entering the global market."
"We are now just using hardware to pry open the global market and let consumers around the world know that there is a brand like Changtian Technology."
"If we sacrifice a little profit at this time, it will have no impact on our overall development."
"Suppose our Hanhai mobile phone, or other more important products, want to enter the global market."
"If we continue to use these products for trial and error, the time cost will be very large."
This is the era of globalization.
Neither a country nor a company can rest on its laurels.
In class, whenever the history teacher talks about the gloomy history of the Xia Kingdom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he always uses one word - seclusion.
This term is still applicable today.
Changtian Technology wants to achieve greater results.
It is impossible to know that you are locked in the market of Xia Kingdom.
"When we achieve this goal, we must give our partners enough benefits."
"Compared to our goals, 40% profit is still considerable."
Chen Xiao joked: "This is much better than Wall Street asking for 40% of our group's shares!"
When Chen Xiao said this, Wang Xiang couldn't help but feel happy.
Chen Xiao suddenly laughed mysteriously and said, "Actually, in our contract with France, I also left a backdoor."
"I just said that it is absolutely impossible for Pascal Company to produce carbon crystal storage from the most basic raw materials. It can only import relevant materials from Changtian Technology in the Xia Kingdom mainland for assembly."
"The most important raw material for carbon crystal storage is silicon carbide crystal, and it is a silicon carbide crystal with a barrier."
“The only company in the world that can produce this kind of raw material is Changtian Technology.”
"Since we are a monopoly business, of course, we have the final say on the price."
"So we can control Pascal's actual profits by controlling the price of raw materials."
"Although the contract we signed is 46%, through the control of raw material prices, the profit ratio can reach 37%, or 28%."
"Of course, as a responsible company, we cannot let our partners suffer too much."
"After all, who is going to do something without profit? It is impossible to generate electricity with love."
After Chen Xiao said this, he spread his hands, and Wang Xiang realized that all his worries seemed to be unnecessary.
Wang Xiang said: "It depends on the reaction of the American market."
"If the U.S. market is determined to reject Changtian Technology's hardware, then we will have to give up on the U.S. market temporarily."
Wang Xiang added: "There is another variable now: Steve Jobs's body."
"There are rumors that Steve Jobs is in the terminal stage of cancer. At this iPhone 4S launch event, Steve Jobs is clearly unable to do what he wants."
When talking about Steve Jobs's body, Chen Xiao also frowned.
He was reborn, if the world he is in now is not much different from the parallel world he worked in before.
Jobs' death date should be in October of this year, that is, October 2011.
Steve Jobs was a technology geek who also despised capital.
No one knows what will happen if Cook takes office.
The two fell into deep thought.
At this time, the urgent bell rang in Chen Xiao's office.
The caller was Qu Ping.
"What's wrong with Qu Ping?"
"Master, please come to the laboratory! It's important!"
