Li Jianxi put down the document in confusion and muttered to himself.
“Dad, what’s ‘weird’?”
Li Zaiyong poured him tea respectfully.
"Intel supports the Middle East consortium, TSMC supports Fuxin, and Samsung is obviously the most crucial vote for them to invest in AMSL, but why do I feel that the Middle East consortium and Fuxin are not at all active in wooing us, but instead feel like they have discussed it in advance?
Is there a tacit understanding of cooperation?”
Li Jianxi frowned.
“Dad, whether it’s cooperation or coincidence, we must never let Fuxin invest in AMSL!”
Lee Jae-yong said anxiously: "Even if there are Liang Mengsong and Hu Zhengming in the composite core, as long as there is no most advanced photolithography machine, it is impossible to develop the most advanced process technology!"
"If we can't develop composite cores, how can Samsung develop it?" Li Jianxi couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Lee Jae-yong felt guilty and scratched his knees.
Not only is Samsung's yield rate in mature processes lower than that of TSMC, Fuxin, and Intel, but it even has to follow the neon ancestral tradition and falsify data to cover up Samsung's poor wafer foundry level, and it also has difficulties in making breakthroughs in advanced processes.
It is entirely the lack of technical leaders like Liang Mengsong and Hu Zhengming that leads to the gap in technology accumulation, which causes Samsung to lag behind complex cores in terms of power consumption, heat dissipation and yield rate.
We need equipment and money, but we don’t have the talent!
"Of course we must support the Middle East consortium, but Samsung cannot offend Fuxin by refusing. We must find ways to win over."
Li Jianxi narrowed his eyes.
"Win over? Win over Fu Xin!"
Li Zaiyong was startled, why did he want to win over Fu Xin instead?
"madness!"
Seeing his confused look, Li Jianxi reprimanded: "Although the Middle East consortium has acquired Chartered Semiconductor, is about to invest in AMSL, and has the opportunity to purchase photolithography machines, chip foundry is not enough to just spend money, it has to spend money on mathematicians.
, physicists, engineers, we must destroy talents!”
He glared at his useless son and said, "If the Middle East consortium is allowed to cooperate with Fuxin, with the Middle East consortium providing the equipment and Fuxin providing the people and technology, guess what the result will be!"
Li Zaiyong suddenly realized it, and then felt a chill.
When I think that Fuxin will definitely attract SMIC, and the Middle East consortium controls Chartered Semiconductor, and the three companies join forces, as well as Mr. Lu and the "money power" of the Middle East's big fools, the potential is enough to subvert the existing wafer foundry pattern.
It may even surpass TSMC and Intel. As for Samsung, it is naturally far ahead!
"Dad, we cannot let the Middle East consortium cooperate with Fuxin!"
After pondering for a while, he immediately answered.
Li Jianxi looked like a coward and said, "Haha, now Fuxin needs to win over us. Why don't we need to win over Fuxin? Haha, Fuxin has reconciled with TSMC. We can no longer let Fuxin fall to the Middle East consortium."
"But Lu Fei's relationship with the Middle East..."
Lee Jae-yong opened his mouth. People in the Middle East are treated like VIPs, and they are in the middle of a second-instance lawsuit with Logic!
"madness!"
Li Jianxi glared angrily, "If you hadn't insisted on restarting the 'Kill Bayan' plan! You insisted on taking advantage of the fierce competition between Fuxin and TSMC to step in, grab TSMC's orders, and poach TSMC's people, TSMC would have
How could you be forced into a corner and have to seek peace with Fu Xin! Stupid!"
You approved the plan!
Li Zaiyong shrank his head and was extremely depressed, but he had to bear the blame. The father's fault was the son's responsibility.
"The plan should be terminated. TSMC has reconciled with Fuxin. Samsung alone is not enough to suppress TSMC."
Li Jianxi waved his hand enthusiastically.
"Yes, Dad!"
Lee Jae-yong kept smiling bitterly. After struggling for more than half a year, he never expected that he would force TSMC to bow its head and get the advantage of the complex core in vain.
"Next, we will try our best to establish a strategic cooperative relationship with Fuxin before the Middle East consortium."
Li Jianxi made the conditions without hesitation. The main purpose of complex core is to provide people. Samsung can pay for equipment and space, and the process technology developed by it can be shared. Even the production capacity of Samsung's wafer foundry can be given priority to Logic, and the price is also given.
Best price.
"This this……"
Lee Jae-yong felt extremely sick as if he had eaten a fly.
"Without this or that, no matter what, we can't let the Middle East consortium and Fuxin come into contact!" Li Jianxi's face darkened.
"yes……"
Lee Jae-yong forced a smile and cursed in his mind:
Xiba!
I thought I could control Lu Fei, but I didn't expect that Lu Fei would control him!
…………
"It is reported that TSMC and Fuxin have reached a preliminary settlement in Liang Mengsong's lawsuit and will not submit it to the second instance."
"The biggest injustice in the history of world semiconductors! Liang Mengsong is neither a traitor to TSMC nor a traitor to Taiwan Semiconductor. The Director of the Electronics Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said: Dr. Liang Mengsong has made outstanding contributions to chip foundry on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and has assisted the development of China's technology..."
"
"TSMC has officially issued an apology statement, publicly apologized to Liang Mengsong, and is willing to pay huge compensation for reputational damage!"
"TSMC announced that it will return to the logic supply chain. After the sales of iPhone 4s are not as good as expected, can the globally popular logicX5 reverse the business decline of TSMC?"
"The gold content of the logical supply chain! TSMC opened with its largest gain this month and surged 6 points before the market closed!"
"..."
Fuxin publicly made peace with TSMC, but everyone in the industry knows that Fuxin won the battle!
This gave SMIC, which had fallen into internal chaos due to TSMC's international lawsuit, a bad breath, and also injected a dose of stimulant into its developing mainland semiconductor peers.
There is no doubt that Fuxin is now the leader in the country, both in terms of strength and reputation.
And Mr. Lu fell into the altar again!
"Well, don't give 30% all at once. Give TSMC 10% of the order first, and wait until the promise is fulfilled for the rest."
Lu Fei hung up the phone and took a stroll.
Next, whether it is investing in AMSL or independently developing lithography machines, every step can be taken very leisurely.
Moreover, I also received wonderful news——
Liang Mengsong has become a regular member and will hopefully become the first academician of the Academy of Engineering elected by a high-tech enterprise in the country!
Rather than a sauce-flavored talent!
"I was watching the mountain scenery from the tower,
I could hear the commotion outside the city.
Flags fluttering and somersaulting shadows,
But it turned out to be soldiers sent by Sima."
Humming "Empty City Strategy" in his mouth, Lu Fei walked downstairs with a little pride, and saw Gao Yuanyuan sitting on the sofa, hugging her knees.
"What's wrong? Who made our CEO Gao unhappy?"
"Hey, you can see that I'm unhappy?"
Gao Yuanyuan touched her face, feeling surprised and happy.
"No, when I usually get off work, the first thing I do when I come back is wash my hands and hug Huahua, but today I'm watching TV."
Lu Fei smiled and said, "You're still so absent-minded."
Gao Yuanyuan pouted, "Okay, I'm very unhappy. I don't want Huahua to see her mother unhappy."
"Then I will find a way to make you happy."
Lu Fei sat next to her, put his arm around her waist and asked, "Come on, tell me, who is it that offends you?"
"Who else can it be? Zhang Weiping!"
Gao Yuanyuan picked up the apple and took a bite.
"he?"
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.
"Didn't we attend the premiere of "Pacific Rim"? "The Thirteen Hairpins" bumped into our schedule and was released 10 days earlier than "Pacific Rim"." Gao Yuanyuan chewed and said.
"Is Zhang Weiping doing some tricks?"
Seeing her handing over the apple, Lu Fei also took a bite.
"That's not true. He came directly. I don't know how he dared. He suddenly sent text messages to 9 of our theaters, asking for an increase in the price of movie tickets for "The Thirteen Beauties"."
Gao Yuanyuan thought about this and pursed her lips.
Zhang Weiping actually asked theaters to raise the minimum ticket price in first-tier cities to 40 yuan, in second-tier cities to 35 yuan, and in third-tier cities to 30 yuan, which is an average of 5 yuan more expensive than before.
Forget it, he actually dares to increase the account sharing ratio.
The box office share was raised from the original 43% to 45%.
"Oh, this Zhang Weiping is really courageous."
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth raised slightly.
"He has always been very courageous. He relied on Zhang Yimou to change the rules of the game. In fact, this is not the first time."
Gao Yuanyuan's face showed a tangled look.
The box office split can be traced back to the domestic movie "Red Cherry" released in 1995. For every 100 yuan at the box office, 5 yuan must first be paid to the film development special fund and 3 yuan business tax. The remaining part will be paid to the producer and
The two parties of the theater split the bill in the ratio of 35% and 65%.
It can be considered the first of its kind.
Then in the new millennium, with the sudden rise of Zhang Yimou, the box office success of movies such as "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" increased the voice of the producers. Zhang Weiping took advantage of the opportunity to bargain and began to negotiate with theaters to renegotiate the split.
the rule of.
In 2006, the box office share of "Golden Armor" increased by 42%. In 2008, finally, the General Administration of Optoelectronics issued a document stipulating that in principle, producers should not be less than 43%, and theaters should generally not exceed 50%.
And "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"——
That’s the third time!
But one thing can only happen two times, how can Zhang Weiping be allowed to kick his nose in the face and do it a third time? The theater chain is really a fool!
“What do other theater chains think?”
"I want the Han and Tang Dynasties to take the lead in organizing eight theaters including Wanda, Lianhe, Shinkansen, Jinyi, Dadi, New Film Alliance, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Times, and northern Liaocheng to collectively boycott "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and resolutely not let Zhang Weiping
Success again!"
"Oh, the Han and Tang Dynasties took the lead?"
"Yes, they said that Hantang is the number one film and television company in the country, and it is also an important theater chain company. It is up to us to take the lead."
"The abacus has hit us. Is this what makes you unhappy?" Lu Fei reached out and pinched her chin.
"Who would be happy to be wielded a knife?"
Gao Yuanyuan stuffed the apple into his mouth.
"Then what should you do yourself?"
Lu Fei ate with a smile.
"Anyway, I'm not in this position, but on which side to stand, Li Fang and I have been discussing for a long time, but we still haven't decided which side to stand on. I'm having a headache." Gao Yuanyuan was in a dilemma.
Lu Fei asked in a playful tone: "Zhang Weiping is targeting theater chains. Han and Tang had their own theater chains and were shareholders of Wanda and the Shinkansen. Why didn't they side with the theater chains?"
"Because the main business and revenue of the Han and Tang dynasties is film investment and production. The Han and Tang dynasties are expensive but not expensive. They only account for a small part. If Zhang Weiping can really increase the account sharing ratio from 43% to 45%, it will
The benefits to the entire Han and Tang Dynasties will be even greater."
Gao Yuanyuan explained everything in detail.
Now that the traffic era has begun, copyright disputes between video websites and traditional TV stations are slowly becoming more intense. Procurement costs are rising, actors' salaries are rising, marketing expenses are rising, and the production costs of TV series and movies are naturally rising.
If you want a movie to make more money, in addition to raising ticket prices, you can only get a higher box office share from theaters. For example, the box office of "The Thirteen Beauties" can really reach the 1 billion or 2% that Zhang Weiping expected.
Nearly 20 million RMB!
"I can also understand why Zhang Weiping wants to increase the share ratio. The cost of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is said to be 600 million."
She leaned forward and snuggled into his arms.
"600 million, haha, do you believe it? A special-effects science fiction blockbuster like "Pacific Rim" only costs more than 90 million US dollars, about 600 million." Lu Fei said with a hint of disdain in his tone.
What is the concept of a 600 million movie these days?
You can film both parts of "Red Cliff"!
"The Wandering Earth 1" only cost 500 million yuan. Although "The Wandering Earth 2" made various donations, the total cost was only 600 million yuan.
If we talk about the contribution of "Wolf Warrior 2" and the "Wandering Earth" series to Chinese-language films, they not only reduced the living space for popular actors and junk movies, but also made it impossible for movies that boast of big production and investment to hide, such a big
cost, and this is the result?
Without comparison, there is no harm.
"Of course I don't believe it, Zhang Weiping's mouth..."
Gao Yuanyuan curled her lips.
"But we can let him do it, and we can take advantage of it. "Pacific Rim" is already more qualified to ask for a price increase than "The Golden Hairpin"! Our movie is the standard of Hollywood's A-level movies!" Lu Lu
Fei gnawed the apple until only the core was left.
"But in that case, life will be even more difficult for the theater chain."
Gao Yuanyuan let out a long sigh.
Seventy percent of most open theaters across the country are operating at a loss because the movie tickets sold by these theaters every year cannot cover their own operating costs.
And these theater chains with good profits deduct nearly half of their annual box office revenue and hand it over to the producers.
Of the remaining money, 10% to 20% is used to pay rent, and 12% to 19% is used for fixed costs. The final profit left for the theater may only account for 3% to 10% of the total box office revenue.
Even relying on the huge passenger flow of Sunac Plaza, the profit point of Hantang Cinema is only seven or eight points.
"As you said, the theater chain is just a small head."
Lu Fei touched her long hair and said, "Let Zhang Weiping fight with those theaters about this matter. If you don't want to be the first person, don't do it. If you don't want to express your opinion, then don't express your opinion."
"I'm just afraid..."
Gao Yuanyuan's lips twitched.
"Afraid of someone forcing you? Haha, who dares!"
Lu Fei smiled coldly, "Besides, this kind of thing will cause trouble sooner or later to the Film Bureau, China Film, Tong Gang, and Han Sanping. If you can't figure it out, it won't be possible. Just leave it to them."
Gao Yuanyuan squeezed into his arms, she liked the damn sense of security and dependence in his arms, as if as long as she was held by him, all her troubles would be solved.
"Well, I'm actually thinking, is there no win-win solution that can satisfy the producers and keep the theaters okay?"
"That's not to say there isn't any."
"You have an idea! Say it, say it!"
"We have to wait until the two sides can't reach an agreement about this matter, then talk to Tong Gang, Han Sanping and the others, and then the film bureau will make a decision."
