“This…”
Upon hearing the words of Zhang Zhongmou, the president of TSMC, the people present exchanged glances, then sighed deeply, tacitly agreeing.
After all, compared to short-term benefits and the impact they would suffer, TSMC had no reason to choose self-destruction for short-term gains!
“Old Wei.”
TSMC President Zhang Zhongmou looked at Vice President Wei Jiazhe.
“Yes.”
Responding, Vice President Wei Jiazhe looked at Zhang Zhongmou.
“You negotiate with the United States and tell them that we will no longer accept new orders from Geek Technology Company starting today.
But please allow us to complete the orders we have already accepted so that we can find alternative chip foundry orders during this time.”
“Yes, I will do my best to negotiate with them and get them to agree to our conditions.”
Vice President Wei Zhongmou agreed, but he didn't have much confidence in whether it would succeed.
Overall, the probability of success and the probability of failure are about fifty-fifty.
“Then that's it.”
Zhang Zhongmou said, and then began to make arrangements to prepare for the loss of Geek Technology's chip foundry orders.
In the blink of an eye, another week passed, and time quietly came to October 21, 2024.
On this day, Geek Technology Company received shocking bad news.
TSMC stated that it would no longer accept chip foundry orders from Geek Technology Company from now on!
That is to say, after the current chip orders of Geek Technology Company are delivered, Geek Technology Company will face a situation of product supply interruption.
Therefore, with TSMC's unilateral verbal notification, Geek Technology Company immediately fell into anger.
“This is outrageous, has TSMC gone crazy?”
“They actually gave up our chip foundry orders, how ridiculous is this.”
“Our Geek Technology Company is a major customer of their 28-nanometer process technology, contributing 40% of their profits.
I didn't expect them to make such a decision, it's really ridiculous.”
The senior and middle-level executives of Geek Technology Company at the scene cursed angrily after hearing the news.
“Boss, I didn’t expect that you were really right. TSMC would actually stop manufacturing chips for us.”
Li Jun said with a wry smile.
“I can only say that we cannot underestimate the determination and bottom line of the United States.”
Gao Nian sighed after speaking.
In this incident where TSMC refused to undertake new chip foundry orders from Geek Technology Company, neither Geek Technology Company nor TSMC benefited in any way.
It can be said that both parties were losers, and both parties suffered huge impacts. Only Silicon Valley in the United States and technology companies in the United States could benefit.
After understanding all the causes and consequences, Gao Nian's dissatisfaction and anger towards the United States increased a lot, and he wanted to make them regret today's actions!
“Huh!”
Trying hard to calm the anger in his heart, Gao Nian turned to look at General Manager Lei Bus and said:
“General Lei, in our current orders, if converted into Geek computers, how many units are there? If converted into smart phones, how many units are there?”
Hearing Gao Nian's question, Lei Bus thought for a while and said:
“Currently, the total number of computer chip orders we have placed is 6 million units. It will take about 3 months to complete the production. As for mobile phone orders, there are relatively few, only about 1 million mobile phone chips. Even if we adopt a limited sales marketing method, it can only support one month at most.”
“That is to say, after one month, our Geek smart phones and Xiaomi smart phones will be forced to be out of stock?”
Gao Nian frowned deeply, feeling a little headache.
“Yes, after one month, our Geek smart phones will be forced to be out of stock.
After all, without mobile phone chips, we can't produce mobile phones even if we want to, so we can only suspend production.”
After speaking, General Manager Lei Bus couldn't help but sigh deeply, regretting why he didn't order more mobile phone chips in advance.
Now there are only 1 million smart phone chips, and this sales volume can only support one month at most even if limited sales are adopted.
At this time, Li Jun seemed to have thought of something, and then immediately asked:
“Can we communicate with the United States through the government to let them release it?”
Hearing this, the people present immediately lit up.
Yes, Geek Technology's mobile phones and computers can be said to be the backbone of the Chinese mobile phone and computer industry.
Now that Geek Technology's mobile phones and computers are about to be finished due to TSMC's unilateral interruption of chip foundry, Geek Technology's mobile phones and computers are about to be finished.
This is a particularly big blow to the Chinese mobile phone industry and computer industry, and it can be called a devastating blow.
Therefore, the above should have a high probability of helping Geek Technology Company, right.
“It's useless. The real factor behind why TSMC chose to break its arm and no longer continue to undertake our chip foundry orders is that we all understand.
Therefore, TSMC broke its arm and directly cleared its relationship with us, and no longer continued to manufacture chips for us.
The purpose is to destroy and want to attack us, and destroy the rising trend of our mobile phone industry and computer industry,
Under such circumstances, even if the above stands up to negotiate for us, there will be no results.
It can only be said that the existence of our Geek Technology Company has deeply affected the interests of Silicon Valley and even the interests of Wall Street!”
Hearing Gao Nian's words, the people present couldn't help but sigh again.
“In any case, the above should be informed of this matter.”
General Manager Lei Bus said his decision.
“That's right.”
Gao Nian nodded in agreement.
Although the actual possibility may not be of any use, at least the above will pay close attention to this matter after learning about it.
This will also completely dispel the idea of "it is better to buy than to build", so that they no longer harbor illusions and can make China highly value chips.
This is just like the Zhongxing incident and the Huawei incident in the previous life.
After these two incidents occurred, China immediately invested a lot of funds and scientific research power into the semiconductor field, allowing China's chips to develop rapidly.
Therefore, from some aspects, the incident that happened to Geek Technology Company is estimated to be a great stimulus to China.
There is also a high probability that, as in the previous life, the semiconductor manufacturing field will receive strong support from the country from then on,
The final development speed has increased several times.
At this time, Ni Guanghai, the head of the technology research and development department, said:
“Mobile phones can still be sold for one month with limited sales, and computers can only be sold for three months.
We only have three months left. What should we do after three months?
Should we accelerate the research and development of 40-nanometer process mobile phone chips and computer chips?”
Hearing this sentence, the people present immediately focused their attention on Gao Nian, waiting for Gao Nian's decision.
After all, whether Geek Technology Company should adopt 40-nanometer process technology or continue to research and develop 3D chip stacking technology, this ultimately has to be decided by Gao Nian.
