"Whether it is in terms of key indicators such as performance, functionality, or reliability, the 3D NAND flash memory we developed has all achieved the expected goals, and is once again far ahead of all peers!"
"Small-scale mass production will begin soon!"
As soon as Lu Fei said this, Leader Sha immediately took the lead in applauding.
The shocked and quiet people came to their senses and stood up one after another. As the salute was fired, everyone stood up and applauded.
In a joyous atmosphere, Lu Fei and the leaders cut the ribbons with scissors, and then the balloons flew.
Lee Jae-yong forced a smile and endured it until the end of the ceremony. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and left the scene immediately with a livid face.
Obviously, I don’t want to stay any longer!
Manufacturers such as Elpida, Toshiba, and Rechip that have suffered from Samsung's price war feel an indescribable joy and relief when they see Samsung's failure! Quite a relief!
At the same time, we have to re-evaluate the strength of Yangtze Memory. GPPR5 and 32-layer 3D NAND flash memory may not be able to surpass Samsung in a short time, but if they surpass Hynix, they have a great chance of winning.
Representatives of Maode and Powerchip could not help but waver.
I always thought that Yangtze Memory was just the strongest dark horse in the storage industry, but I never expected that it would be so powerful. Compared with Samsung,
Maybe joining Yangtze River Storage would be a good idea too!
The representative of Powerchip looked at Lu Fei who was surrounded by people, and suddenly found the figure of Yukio Sakata in the crowd, and he was deeply suspicious——
The reason why Elpida gave up the "four-in-one" solution may not be that Yangtze River Storage did not agree, but did it want to cooperate exclusively with one person?
"You mean, a dead Taoist friend is not dead to a poor Taoist?"
Representative Maode followed his gaze and saw that Yukio Sakata was particularly attentive and even flattering to Lu Fei. He was a little skeptical at first, but now he has to believe this statement.
In particular, Sakata Yukio followed Lu Fei away closely.
"Thump thump, thump thump."
There were loud footsteps on the marble floor.
A group of people came to the office, and Lu Fei greeted Zhu Yiming, Sun Hongjun, and Yukio Sakata to sit down, but unexpectedly——
Instead of sitting down, Yukio Sakata bowed deeply.
"Lu Feisang! Please!"
"please!!"
"Sakata, so you've thought about it?"
As if expected, the corners of Lu Fei's mouth rose.
"Hi! I have thought about it very clearly. Elpida hopes to form a strategic partnership with Yangtze Memory and obtain technical authorization for GDDR5 and 3D NAND flash memory."
There was urgency in Sakata Yukio's sincere tone.
"Sakata, have you misunderstood us?"
Lu Fei waved his hand, "Our cooperation neither involves GDDR5 nor NAND flash memory technology licensing."
"What! Why, Lu Feisang!"
Yukio Sakata realized that his sincerity might not be enough.
Without bowing, he knelt down on his knees, leaned forward, and touched his forehead to the ground. There was gold under the man's knees, and now is the time to realize it!
There were a lot of people outside just now, so now I kneel down in front of Mr. Lu!
I saw him solemnly getting down from his seat and pleading hard as long as the conditions were within a reasonable range, Elpida would not be unable to accept it.
"Even so, we still won't agree."
Lu Fei winked at Zhu Yiming and Sun Hongjun. They understood each other and helped Sakata Yukio up.
"Lu Feisang!"
Yukio Sakata was so anxious that his face turned red.
"Although we will not authorize it, we can jointly build a 3D NAND flash memory fab in China with Elpida. The scale is such that the monthly production capacity is at least 40,000 pieces..."
"But!"
"Listen to me, Elpida can hold up to 45% of the wafer fab's shares. In addition, we will purchase additional Elpida in the second half of the year, as well as DRAM and LDPPR."
Lu Fei said what he had already discussed.
DRAM technology continues to rise, and types are constantly subdivided. Standard DRAM is used in PCs and servers, mobile DRAM is used in smartphones and tablets, and niche DRAM is used in LCD TVs and set-top boxes.
In addition to mobile models, there are also niche models allocated to Elpida. After all, it has received large orders for set-top boxes from China Mobile and Telecom.
"Arigado! Aligado!"
Yukio Sakata was so excited that he pushed further and once again tested whether he could obtain a license for 3D NAND flash memory technology.
"Sakata, if you really want to get a license for 3D flash memory technology, why bother looking far away? You can go to Toshiba."
Lu Fei declined politely, "I can help you introduce him."
Yukio Sakata sighed and said nothing.
Seeing this scene, Sun Hongjun asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Mr. Lu, are these orders too many?"
"Is it much?"
Lu Fei showed a smirk.
The demand for traditional memory in smartphones and tablets is far less than the demand for mobile NAND flash memory. The test is the ability to combine flash memory with memory or integrate it with solid-state drives. Without this integration technology, it cannot be sold at a premium.
The price of integrated products is at least twice that of non-integrated products!
"I understand, Mr. Lu."
Sun Hongjun suddenly realized that Elpida did not integrate technology.
Just like providing raw materials, it can only provide memory. Yangtze Memory is responsible for deep processing of materials. However, Elpida's memory is of good quality and high cost. The more it produces, the easier it is to lose money.
"Elpida's debt problem cannot be solved by neon government and bank financing. It will probably end up like Qimonda. At that time, even if we don't get the entire Elpida, we can at least buy it at a low price. wafer fab and Ruijing shares."
Lu Fei blinked at him.
"Mr. Lu, if we do this, will we be discovered..."
Sun Hongjun's excitement was like sugar-coated bullets.
This is not to save Elpida's life, it is clearly to seek wealth and murder!
"If he finds something, he still has to thank us."
Lu Fei patted Yukio Sakata on the shoulder, "Really?"
"Ah Li Ga Tuo hooks up with Yima Si!!"
Although Yukio Sakata had regrets, his trip was not in vain, and it was enough to make Elpida sigh, "Lu Feisang, you are really our best partner in Elpida and our great benefactor!"
"As for the price, you negotiate with them."
Lu Fei pushed Sun Hongjun and others out, "And Sakata, I remember you said before that Samsung is also wooing Powerchip and other Bayan DRAM companies. Now that the 'four-in-one' plan has failed, is it possible that they will collapse?" Xiang Samsung, deal with us?"
"Ruijing is controlled by Elpida. I can guarantee that it will not happen. However, it is not impossible for Promos and Powerchip."
Yukio Sakata gave an answer after careful consideration.
"Maybe we should find a way."
"What?"
"A plan to divorce."
………………
The ribbon-cutting ceremony had just ended, less than the next day.
"Breaking news, Yangtze Memory announced 32-layer 3D NAND flash memory! Surpassing Samsung and Toshiba's 24-layer."
"China has finally waited for a storage revolution. Yangtze River Storage and Changxin Storage have taken the lead and achieved leapfrog development from catching up to leading, demonstrating China's speed and China's innovation."
"The localization of DRAM chips has gone through 20 years of darkness. Lu Fei does not believe that eternal night will come, because the torch is in his hand!"
"Lu Fei: The key for domestic DRAM to stand up and become stronger is that the brand must stand up in the hearts of the Chinese people."
The news continued, and it even appeared on Xinwen Network that day.
For a full 7 minutes, Lu Fei's speech from beginning to end, every minute and every second, was not edited and was reported in full.
Soon, there was a whirlwind on the Internet.
The first gust of wind hit the Internet, including Weibo, forums, QQ and other platforms.
Some popularize science, some disseminate, and some discuss...
Jianxian is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.
What's more, this kind of first-class event immediately spread from online to offline, to local tabloids, to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the People's Daily. Media from all walks of life took notice of the news. The comment area under the official Weibo account of Yangtze River Storage has been used by netizens. Occupy, collective climax.
[Yangtze Memory has perfectly helped Samsung, Hynix and other manufacturers solve power supply and fire protection problems]
[If one day foreign storage starts to cut prices and start promotions, it will not be because they have a conscience, but because Yangtze Storage has risen, become stronger, and is awesome]
[In the past, people said they supported domestic production, which was moral kidnapping. But now, solid-state drives used to be more expensive because they were mostly produced by American, Japanese and Korean companies. The pricing power was in the hands of others. Why should they give you profits? Why is Nokia’s new mobile phone priced at 1,999 yuan? It’s not because Nokia is kind, but because it’s logical. If you don’t buy it from Shenzhou, Xiaomi, or Tianyu, who will buy it? 】
[Mobile phones, memory, solid-state drives, is it the graphics card’s turn next? Hurry up and lower the price of graphics cards! 】
【…………】
In just half a day, a second, more violent wind emerged in the public opinion field, and the eye of the entire whirlwind was concentrated in the IT and IC circles.
Big bosses from all sides couldn't help but comment.
Zhang Rujing: "It's a pity that SMIC cannot continue to fight side by side with Yangtze River Memory, but we will do our best to support it!"
Lei Jun: "Making chips is a narrow escape. Starting with 1 billion, the results will be achieved in 10 years. Mr. Lu is really courageous!"
Liu Chuanzhi: "We, as well as the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea, all attach too much importance to chips. Just like real estate, the world will be an era of surplus chips, and prices will be reduced to 'cabbage prices'. There will definitely be people begging for us in the future." Buy chips.”
After saying this, they were immediately attacked by a group of people.
Some people even boldly went to the entrance of Lianxiang and held up banners, and some reporters went to the hotel where Samsung was staying to interview.
Before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Lee Jae-yong kept saying that there is still a long gap between Samsung and Yangtze Memory. Now, Yangtze Memory has once again surpassed Samsung in the number of 3D flash memory stacks.
What else to say!
I wanted to get a few comments from Lee Jae-yong, but I was stopped outside the company by security guards and declined one by one.
There is only one reason, there are more important things.
Lee Jae-yong thought about it again and again, and had to change the strategic plan of "killing Wanwan". Even if Powerchip's ProMOS was killed, the market share vacated would not necessarily belong to Samsung.
It is also possible that Nanya and Huayake, which were strongly led by Yangtze Memory, indirectly helped Lu Fei eliminate competitors in the Baodao DRAM industry.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Since Nanya and Huayake are agents of Yangtze River Storage, Powerchip and Promos can also be agents of Samsung.
Let’s compete on the chessboard of Treasure Island!
Therefore, he calmly invited Powerchip, Promos and Samsung to set up a collusive pricing club on the DRAM industry.
"President Li, this involves sensitive antitrust matters. I'm afraid we can't make the decision. We must go back and hold a meeting to discuss."
The representative of Powerchip laughed haha.
The representative of Promos sang along, "Besides this, let's talk about orders first. We very much hope to have more OEM cooperation with Samsung."
"Only by signing a strategic alliance contract can we discuss the next step of cooperation." Lee Jae-yong looked left and right.
"This...this..."
Representatives from Maode and Powerchip looked embarrassed.
"To tell you the truth, Samsung also has such in-depth and long-term cooperation with some LCD companies in Bay Area on the panel. Why is there vicious competition? Isn't it in vain to benefit consumers?"
Li Zaiyong adjusted his glasses: "Let's join hands together to make money from consumers, especially in mainland China. Mainland consumers are really rich, hahaha..."
Representatives from Promos and Powerchip remain undecided.
"Okay, you can go back and think about it carefully, but you have to think about it, besides Samsung, who else can you rely on now?"
There was disdain in Li Zaiyong's tone, "Elpida?"
“Why can’t it be Yangtze River Storage?”
"Then we are not friends, but enemies! We still have to think clearly. There is no benefit in being Samsung's enemy."
The two parties broke up unhappy and the conversation ended.
Maode and Lijing's people pushed open the door and ran into the secretary holding several newspapers in his hand and walking in a hurry.
"What's the matter, are you so panicked?"
Li Zaiyong glared, but asked Lu Fei if he had given a clear answer, whether he agreed to renew the advanced process sharing agreement between Samsung and Fuxin to 28nm.
"No, President."
The secretary shook his head.
"Xiba!"
Li Zaiyong cursed loudly before noticing the newspaper in the secretary's hand, "Why did you take the newspaper? What was written on it?"
"President, we have been leaked!!"
The secretary loudly said: "Your 'kill wanwan' plan has been exposed, and it has been fully reported in the Chinese media newspapers!"
"What did you say?!"
Li Zaiyong's face was full of disbelief. He immediately took the newspaper from his hand and saw the eye-catching headline——
"Samsung Conspiracy: Kill Wanwan".
Suddenly, the corner of his eye twitched.
Immediately open another copy. The top is the news about the possible in-depth cooperation between Yangtze Memory, Elpida and Rechip. The bottom is Samsung's overall strategy for Bay Area.
"Samsung is systematically attacking Baodao technology companies and gradually weakening their competitiveness in the global market."
"The first step is to gradually eliminate the memory chip and panel industry, and we will find a few local companies to provide internal support..."
"The second step...the third and final step."
"It means stepping on Taiji Electric underfoot and completely realizing technological dominance in the electronics industry. Baodao must not take it lightly!"
"Yeah!"
Lee Jae-yong was furious and uncontrollably tore up the newspaper. After tearing it in half, his rationality slowly returned: "Who leaked the secret! Who leaked the secret! You bastard, go and investigate right away! Go and investigate right away!"
"President, no, there's no need to check. It's clearly written in the newspaper. It was Yukio Sakata, the president of Elpida, who said it."
The secretary winced.
"Elpida? Yukio Sakata?"
Li Zaiyong looked ferocious, "Then how did he, a bastard, know this? Did he have a spy planted in Samsung?"
"check!"
Roaring and roaring filled every corner of the office, and employees passing by outside shivered in fear and ran away in a hurry.
Precisely on the same day, Baodao also received Samsung's "kill wanwan" plan, and the first one to report it was China Television News.
The major shareholder behind it is Wangzi Group.
The successful acquisition of CTV was due to the financing help from Mr. Lu and women Wang Yongqing and Wang Xuehong from Nansu.
Fueled by the media, Baodao was shocked!
After receiving the news, companies such as TSMC and Nanya would rather believe that they have it than believe that they don't have it. They immediately held a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
And DRAM companies such as Promos and Powerchip immediately told their representatives in the mainland: Go and invite Mr. Lu!
Master Lu!
For the sake of the family, help the brothers! (End of chapter)
