Taoyuan Airport is crowded with people everywhere.
Some people expressed reluctance to say farewell to their loved ones.
Some people burst into tears and sang a warm welcome to their friends.
In the airport, you can always see all kinds of people, but it is rare to see an old couple like this, who are carefree and relaxed, as leisurely as taking a walk in the evening.
Departing in the morning, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning when Lao Yuan finished applying for the boarding pass.
But Lao Yuan was not in a hurry. The plane took off at 11 o'clock, leaving enough time for him to take his yellow-faced woman to the airport for a nice walk. That old woman had never been on a plane in her life.
"Let's go, let's take a walk around."
After picking up the backpack and putting it on its back, the old couple hung up the satchel filled with snacks for the old lady, and walked lightly towards the security check.
"What's wrong?"
Feeling a tear, Lao Yuan turned to look at the old woman.
Her wrinkled right hand pointed at the big screen. She was mute. Not only had she never flown on a plane, she had never spoken. She had lived her entire life for the old man and her children in front of her.
She remembered what the old man had been talking about a while ago, "Wanji Electric". When she saw these three words appearing on the airport screen, she was afraid of delaying anything, so she quickly pointed them out to the old man.
"Wanji Electric is the world's first and largest professional wafer production company. In 1997, as the first Wanwan company to be listed for trading in New York in the form of ADR, it has always been among the top five foreign customers with the most active trading volume on the exchange.
One. The company began to trial a new financial system in 1999, referred to as ABC."
"Under the new general financial principles, when faced with huge orders from important customers and demanding concessions on price, we can always respond with ease."
Following the old woman's fingers, Lao Yuan saw Zhang Xiaowei talking eloquently.
"Regarding the just-concluded Bayji Electronics third quarter corporate briefing, the information that needs to be reported to investors is as follows:
Bayji Electronics Settlement’s Q2 revenue was NT$58.52 billion, operating gross profit was NT$23.21 billion, average gross profit margin was approximately 39.7%, operating net profit was NT$17.79 billion, pre-tax was NT$17.74 billion, and after-tax was NT$18.37 billion. Based on the company’s equity capital of approximately
It is estimated to be 246.87 billion yuan, with a single-quarter EPS of about 0.74 yuan.
Cumulative revenue of Bayji Electric in the first half of the year reached NT$114.169 billion, operating gross profit of NT$44.854 billion, average gross profit margin of about 39.3%, operating net profit of NT$33.86 billion, pre-tax NT$33.998 billion, after-tax NT$35.187 billion, and EPS has reached 1.43
Yuan."
"The chairman of our company said: The industrial winter has entered its lowest point, and he has a long-term optimistic attitude towards the future. The outlook for 2002 remains unchanged from the previous view of growth of 5 to 9%."
…
In the cold winter of the industry, Bayji Electric still has such a high gross profit margin. Lao Yuan knows this because he has seen Bayji Electric's Q1 financial report, but it is still able to maintain such a high growth, which surprises him a lot.
Looking at the countless blond foreigners on the screen, Lao Yuan knew that this time Bayji Electric was not only fighting back against the young man on the other side, but also taking off completely.
The asset-heavy FAB factory, heavyweight stocks in the two places, and the jaw-dropping gross profit margins are the best safe haven for idle funds in the world when the three U.S. cities collapse.
…………
"Under the common premise of expanding Bayji Electric's market share and supporting the upstream and downstream industries around the company, the board of directors decided that Bayji Electric will carry out the last price reduction in 2001 starting today. The specific measures are as follows...
"
What a huge margin.
Lao Yuan was speechless. When he wanted to listen again, he was interrupted by another pull, and then a full page of the newspaper was handed over.
"how come?"
Looking at the old woman's dirty little hands, Lao Yuan lovingly took out a wet wipe and wiped them.
The old woman pointed to the trash can. The name "AUO" was on the newspaper. The old man in the family had also paid attention to it, so she recognized it.
"..."
After a while, Lao Yuan closed the newspaper and threw it into the trash can again.
Returning to the old woman, he took out Tpod2 from the bag and put the milky white headphones into the old woman’s ears:
"Old lady, that has nothing to do with us anymore."
"We are going to travel, first to Italy, and then to travel throughout Europe."
"The world is a big place. Before we die, we, the old couple, must take a good look at it."
"As for the mainland you want to go to, we will go there last, and then you can stay as long as you want."
The old little hand carefully stroked the white earphone cord, and then the old woman grabbed Lao Yuan's skirt and followed tremblingly.
That staggering figure seems to be the most beautiful scenery in the world, unique in the entire airport.
Only a metal trash can is left behind. If someone passes by, they can still see the newspaper exposed at the mouth of the trash can:
"The LCD industry has cut prices again; Wanwan OEM companies have notified machine manufacturers and announced price reduction strategies; IC companies have lowered their supply prices again..."
This is an industry-wide price cut, unprecedented in scope and scale.
Zhao Song is in trouble!
"But what does it have to do with me?"
"I have earned enough money!"
"..."
"Two bastards!"
…………
There is no need to worry about who the two bastards mentioned by the old man are, and there is no need to count how many professional investors and international IC design companies the attention of Bayji Electric's worldwide Q2 financial report has attracted.
Just look around the other protagonist in this war and you will know how powerful this Wanwan price cut is.
16:00 minutes.
Beijing, China Overseas Electronics Mall.
Lao Feng, the owner of Overclocking Counter No. 3, took a stack of cash handed over by the clerk and asked casually:
"Which customer?"
"mine?"
The young clerk smiled honestly. While the market war made consumers cheaper, it also made the merchants and clerks smile crookedly. The high commission strategy led by Zhao Song allowed them to make a lot of money.
"What configuration have you saved?"
Old Feng asked curiously.
"I originally wanted to buy a VIA U with a silicon system, but who would have thought that VIA would be so cheap? I use MSI SE for the board and Shenzhou for the strips."
The honest guy scratched his head in embarrassment, "Boss, I also want to use the Shenzhou board, but I don't use the VIA chipset."
"Use Pentium. Didn't Shenzhou announce its resignation just now? Take the Shenzhou suit and pick up the goods at Wuming, Wesonic, and Shanshi counters, all with discounts."
"It's three hundred expensive in total."
This is the Wanwan industrial chain, not to mention other companies, but VIA, which is making CPUs, and Silicon are unified. Against the Zhaosong series, it is like an elephant stepping on ants.
The foundries of both companies are Bayji Electric.
Old Feng took the money and explained helplessly:
“It’s a good choice of accessories, but their after-sales service is not as good as Shenzhou’s.”
"It saves you~"
"And..." Lao Feng said to the grinning clerk, "That little girl from the Shenzhou after-sales department, don't even think about it."
"Cut~"
Honest said angrily: "It costs almost 2,000 yuan to get a partner like this, and I won't even let you touch her little hands. Three hundred yuan is enough for me to go to the hair salon five times. Isn't it a waste?"
Lao Feng's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Where is it so cheap?"
"Bah~"
"Pa~"
Old Feng covered his mouth and glanced around furtively. Seeing that there was no sign of hostility, he waved his hand in front of the clerk's mocking eyes and said angrily: "Aren't you seeing any customers? Go get to work."
"Okay~"
Nowadays, there are customers at any time. Just in the time it took for the two chats just now, the three counters of Overclocking let go of four groups of customers.
Market wars, not only in Zhonghai, but also in electronic markets across the country, are creating historical records of traffic every day.
After collecting the money, Lao Feng cast his worried eyes on Zhonghai's office. Not only him, but all the merchants and clerks in Zhonghai were looking in that direction from time to time.
The difference in strength is too big, what will he do?
