After another round of meetings with the presidents and heads of major Korean Star Group companies.
Choi Jindu, the president of Hanxing Display Company, and Gao Xizhen, the head of Hanxing Mobile Phone Company, hugged each other again.
Unlike Hanstar Semiconductor Company, Hanstar Display Company and Hanstar Mobile Phone Company have always advanced and retreated in the same direction.
The best display screens are always used by mobile phone companies as flagship mobile phone displays. Later, when new technologies are developed or the screen quality is improved, the old screens are sold to other companies for use.
This is why companies like Xia Wei, which compete with Korean stars for share in the international camp, often do not have access to the best screens of the year.
Naturally, Apple and some companies with a large proportion of US capital are not included in this list.
The chairman requires that the financial report for the second quarter should be eye-catching enough, so Hanxing Mobile Phone and Hanxing Display will naturally join the battle.
The Korean Galaxy S9 released in February uses an Infinity Display full-view curved screen. Display problems have caused a wave of trouble for mobile phone companies.
Specifically, it is a restoration problem of grayscale content, which prevents the screen from accurately presenting different shades of black. The problem in use is that an image or video from black to dark gray may be completely replaced by black.
Once this problem came up, the second quarter financial report was actually half useless.
According to the past solution, it is to wait for the flagship release in the second half of the year and use better hardware to wash away the shame.
But there is no way to delay this time. If we cannot survive the second quarter, everyone will be criticized.
The two presidents discussed it several times and finally came up with a plan.
Urgently release an upgraded version based on the Korean Galaxy S9, the Korean Galaxy S9S.
The screen is 6.4 inches, a full-view curved screen with Super AMOLED panel, Quad HD+ level resolution, 2960×1440 pixels, pixel density reaches 516ppi, and the screen ratio is still 18.5:9.
"Consumers are actually very forgetful. As long as we come up with better products, they will forget the bad ones in the past."
Gao Xizhen patted Cui Jindu on the shoulder and said so.
The two of them stood side by side, seemingly forgetting about a certain president.
Extreme pain is the final liberator of the spirit. Only this kind of pain can force us to achieve enlightenment.
With this realization, Li Jingan walked up to Li Jianxi, bowed and told some of his ideas and plans.
The head of the Korean star patted him on the shoulder.
"This time, I can give you permission, don't let me down."
The global semiconductor industry in March was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, making it extremely exciting for outsiders to watch.
Korean Star Semiconductor teamed up with Neon Semiconductor to pull TSMC into a wave of price increases.
Daxia Jiuzhou Technology stood up and stated that it has a monthly production capacity of 500,000 pieces and supplies it at a low price.
Just when everyone thought it was a boast, in order to stabilize the market price, it later supplied the goods as promised, catching everyone off guard.
Li Jingan, CEO of Hanxing Semiconductor Company, said after careful investigation and research that Jiuzhou Technology Company’s low-price wafers are not possible. With Daxia’s manpower and material resources, production capacity can be expanded, but the production process and equipment consumption are two The most important thing is that it is absolutely impossible for Daxia to surpass other semiconductor companies.
After all, the cutting-edge analytical theories of many international research laboratories today have not been optimized and perfected to this extent.
Energy issues and manufacturing process accuracy issues are all difficulties that need to be overcome.
So Li Jingan issued a military order to bankrupt Jiuzhou Technology Company within three months.
Because according to Daxia's backward production technology and equipment, the cost of a twelve-inch silicon wafer will be at least one thousand.
According to the price of 490 Xia Yuan per piece announced by Xia Xin Technology, by comparison, Jiuzhou Technology Company will lose at least 500 Xia Yuan for every silicon wafer shipped from the factory.
The production capacity of 500,000 silicon wafers per month means a monthly loss of at least 250 million Xia Yuan.
If this company has the help of some funds from Daxia, it may be able to survive for a few months until the price of semiconductors in the international market drops.
However, this is an ideal situation when chip prices are high.
What if the raw materials suddenly drop?
A silicon wafer manufacturing plant with a monthly production capacity of 100,000 wafers requires an investment of tens of billions. Jiuzhou Technology Company has a monthly production capacity of 500,000 wafers, which is a level of 100 billion.
The cost of this scale is faced with the sudden drop in chip prices.
What will happen?
Li Jingan felt excited just thinking about it.
After all, Han Xing made a decision, and Neon's company felt that something was going to happen, so the two companies joined forces again.
As for TSMC, which has the largest share?
It is big, but just because it is big, it cannot move around. Whatever the second and third brothers want to do, it can only passively cooperate.
April 1st.
Led by Han Xing Semiconductor, global wafer manufacturing plants suddenly cut prices significantly.
The people who were eating melons were all confused.
what's the situation?
Didn't we agree that the factory fire has led to tight production capacity, and the labor costs are getting higher and higher, so chip prices have to rise?
Why did the price drop suddenly?
And it's not a drop of tens of yuan, but a drop of two hundred yuan.
The global wafer price trend chart is like a person who climbed to the top of a mountain and suddenly jumped off a cliff.
Industry insiders from Korean Star and Neon stated in a press conference: Due to the optimization of the new process flow and the improvement of equipment performance, this price reduction is to allow downstream chip foundry manufacturers to have better quality and more cost-effective raw materials.
Well, although the name of Jiuzhou Technology Company is not mentioned between the lines, anyone with a discerning eye will know what is going on.
There are even media reports that have learned the "industry insider information".
Jiuzhou Technology Company borrowed heavily, used its own company as a mortgage in exchange for a large amount of funds, hired a group of highly qualified engineers and experts with high salaries, and spent huge sums of money to build factories and purchase equipment.
So despite the fact that Jiuzhou Technology Company can produce 500,000 wafers a month, it has actually been operating at a loss.
As we talked, some self-media emerged.
Some harmonious arguments began to spread.
Why Jiuzhou Technology Company is actually spending taxpayers' money to subsidize the purchase price of raw materials for non-domestic companies such as Xiaxin Technology.
Obviously there is no shortage of wafers, but some people in China want to make money and insist on pursuing this project.
When the direction of media public opinion is distorted, the opinions of netizens can easily be distorted. Especially with the large sums of money invested by certain institutions, many "knowledgeable" and "reasonable guests" have also stepped down and started to gossip.
What is gossip? Just what I heard.
"No wonder those giants want to cut prices. It turns out that our people just want to make a profit and run away?!"
"There is nothing new under the sun. Who was not there back then? Just make a lot of money and run away."
"Speak of a hammer! How could such a huge investment be intended to do such a thing!?"
