"Isn't it because companies like yours can't beat Daxia Enterprises, otherwise there would be such harsh project requirements!?"
"Isn't Amazon also going crazy with layoffs? Why are you forcing Lai Lai?"
These replies were straight from the heart, but Choudhury did not reply to any of these comments.
Since the beginning of 2020, soft power companies such as Amazon and Microsoft have begun to lay off employees in an orderly manner. What is very dramatic is that most of the layoff targets are employees in Europe and North America, and they have also expanded their recruitment of programmers from India.
There are employee salary issues, and there are also reasons why Indian executives have become senior executives in these companies...
We are all capitalists, and of course we all want to save costs. Of course, due to the existence of certain catfish, we still need to recruit technical elites to achieve breakthroughs. Otherwise, Indians may occupy these Internet-based companies at a more aggressive pace.
When Musk saw that these corporate executives also wanted to poach his company, he sneered and did not comment on them.
When he entered the conference room floor, the conference room was already filled with representatives from the military-industrial complex and the technology conglomerate headed by Ping Guo.
"Ku Ke and Dr. Su are participating in a high-profile meeting in Daxia, so they cannot arrive at the scene." The assistant reminded from the side.
"Well, pay attention to check whether the shielding device is turned on at all times. I suspect that some recent business leaks have leaked out through certain meeting channels." Musk issued a rather vigilant secret order.
After the assistant went to deal with these trivial matters, Musk walked into the conference room.
Here, he saw a scene that often appears in Hollywood commercial films.
The elegant leader of the elite is smoking a Cuban cigar, and the elite wearing glasses is flipping through the documents in his hand over and over again, frowning. Others were using their mobile phones and tablets to point and draw.
Suddenly, a white elite in the crowd stood up and yelled at Texas Instruments' senior management: "Fk! Bitchi! You are betraying us!"
Before giving anyone a chance to defend himself, the elite skillfully put the information on the tablet onto the big screen in the conference room.
He also explained to others at the meeting: "Just now, just now! Our chip giant Texas Instruments suddenly informed customers that the prices of analog chips and instrument power supply chips, mainly traditional silicon-based chips, will continue to fall in the second half of the year.
In fact, these Bitchis have already reduced the price of chips by 70%! The prices of some analog chips have even dropped by 80%! |
In addition, there are also instruments produced by semiconductor OEMs, which they secretly sold to India! The most important thing is that according to rumors, India is negotiating with Russian-related companies to build a new semiconductor production line, and these instruments are likely to be used! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
The cooperation between Russia and India is becoming increasingly close, and semiconductors have always been the Achilles' heel of these two companies. In a sense, Texas Instruments' business is simply capitalizing on the enemy.
"What? Is that really true?" someone asked in surprise.
"That's the truth. This is the reported news. Others that have not been reported may be even more unacceptable." The elite spread his hands with a sneer on his face.
When other people heard this, they picked up their mobile phones and searched for news.
However, the shielding device happened to be turned on at this time, and everyone only saw red crosses drawn on the signal signs on mobile phones and tablets.
"Fk! The network disappeared!? How come there is no network?"
"Musk, restore the network quickly, we need to check the messages!"
"Damn Musk, are you with Texas Instruments?"
Faced with these doubts, Musk smiled and spread his hands and said innocently: "That's not true. Isn't blocking the signal a must for this meeting? We are all an interest group, even if it is a backup recording and video of the meeting, All are possible.
However, in recent years, network hackers have become more and more rampant. They have stolen the core information of many companies through mobile phone spyware and computer virus Trojans. Even NVIDIA, AMD and other companies have been succeeded by these hackers and even blackmailed by them.
So please be patient for a moment, and since the top management of Texas Instruments is here, we don’t need to search for true and false information on the Internet, we can just confront them face to face. "
There is nothing wrong with this explanation. For Musk, opening a signal jammer is actually more of a scapegoat. After all, in his opinion, there must be idiots in this conference room who will actively or passively block the situation after leaving the room. Secrets are out.
But it doesn't matter. After all, this is just a meeting. The real decision-making meeting cannot be held until the group of people who went to Daxia to negotiate come back.
Others were too lazy to vent their anger on Musk. They all looked angrily at the Texas Instruments executives attending the meeting.
Rich, the executive of Texas Instruments, faced the indignation of his peers and businessmen. He stood up and said solemnly: "First of all, the price reduction is indeed true, but what I want to declare is that all instruments and equipment sold All will be reviewed by relevant departments, and sensitive equipment and special core equipment will not be sold."
Obviously, this statement didn't carry much weight, and the anger was written all over the others' faces.
So Richie explained helplessly: "We are all business elites, and we should know that we can only make profits by selling products.
Nowadays, in some areas of the world, due to the increased competitiveness of Daxia companies' products, many of our customers have reduced demand for our chips and instruments. Among them, the demand for our chips and instruments has decreased even more in Daxia, Russia, Korea and other countries and regions. Sales volume is 75% compared to three years ago.
At the same time, everyone should know that in the second half of 2020, in order to compete with Daxia silicon-based semiconductors, Texas Instruments began investing in a US$30 billion investment plan and successively built four wafer fabs.
Due to technical limitations, only one of these four fabs is currently capable of production, and the other three will not be put into production until early next year. "
Speaking of this, Rich, the executive of Texas Instruments, even cried a little. ,
"Perhaps you don't know, but I want to tell you that now Texas Instruments has lost 40% of its global orders, more of which are orders from Asia. According to our expert team's estimate, when Daxia's carbon-based and silicon-based When the dual-route semiconductor expansion cycle is completed, Texas Instruments will completely lose the Asian market, and may even lose markets in Europe, Africa and other regions at the same time.
Our products will soon become unsaleable low-quality goods in the foreseeable future. If we don't sell them back at a loss now, we may lose all our money.
And in addition to Texas Instruments, chip companies such as Analog Devices, Infineon, Skyworks, STMicroelectronics, and NXP have shrunk from accounting for more than 60% of the global analog chip market five years ago to only Occupies 30%.
High R&D expenses and products that cannot be sold at all. If Texas Instruments does not make compromises, you will see our bankruptcy report next year. "
Of course, Richie still had some things he didn't say. For example, some companies on the scene were engaging in secret tactics, selling equipment and products to companies in countries like Neon at low prices, with the intention of quickly withdrawing funds.
Hearing the crying voice of the Texas Instruments executive, a director of a certain chaebol sneered: "According to a survey by our data company, global sales of new energy vehicles will reach about 6.5 million in 2021, and high-performance computers will There are about 10 million new devices, and hundreds of millions of other smart home and production equipment that require chips.
The rapid growth in sales of these products will also drive the demand market for chips. Power management chips are the main products, and signal chain analog chips. Among these products, the gross profit margin of Daxia Enterprises has public financial reports. Compared with the public financial reports of Texas Instruments, Daxia Xia's company's gross profit margin is generally 30%, but your company's is as high as over 70%. "
Rich, the executive officer of Texas Instruments, turned his head and saw clearly the power of the representative who spoke out. He shrugged his shoulders and said with disdain: "So what bothers me the most is that some data companies outside of your industry only know how to do it." Hype Ranking.
Your data are out of date and biased! The gross profit margin of Daxia Enterprises is not 30% at all! Their financial reports are lagging behind. Even when they write their financial reports, even if they buy a bottle of pure water for a few tenths of a dollar, they will report it as three dollars or even four dollars for experimental water!
Also, do you know? ! That damn Jiuzhou Technology licenses technology without reservation! It doesn’t even require cash, just a few shares of a junk company, or even a controlling stake!
However, these companies will allocate Jiuzhou Technology's R&D investment to their companies, resulting in a further decline in gross profit margins.
And this phenomenon has begun to spread from the semiconductor industry to other industries. For example, I heard that Daxia’s car companies have reached some kind of secret cooperation with companies such as Xia Wei and Jiuzhou Technology. Regarding the previous Xia Wei Wenjie Automobile and Wuling In terms of the market influence of products such as automobiles and BYD new energy vehicles, I am afraid that many friends will have trouble sleeping. "
Musk looked stunned and frowned.
Although what the Texas Instruments executive said was true, he really didn't want to hear this kind of uncomfortable news.
Because when he hears this, he will remember that the Pudong Municipal Bureau, which once responded to his requests, is now starting to be picky and picky.
And he was also keenly aware that there would be no results from today's meeting. After all, if everyone really wanted to talk about the matter, they wouldn't be able to disrupt the situation by playing bad guys and then bad guys.
Of course, this is just an appetizer. The real things that need to be discussed need to be negotiated with the Pentagon after the meeting is over and some information about the companies of each party is known.
On April 7, a meeting of North American high-tech companies ended in a quarrel.
On April 8, the CEOs of Western high-tech companies went to Daxia to participate in a meeting, but achieved nothing.
At the press conference after the meeting, Pingguo CEO Ku Ke told the media with a tired look: "We clearly know how huge the investment in high-tech research and development is and how difficult the carbon-based chip project is, but technology has no borders. , the same should be true for carbon-based chips.
Pingguo needs to provide the best and most innovative high-tech products to global users. For this mission, I will have closer negotiations with relevant companies in Daxia to create a solution that is acceptable to both parties and bring global users Better and more future products. "
Every sentence is true to global users, and he even bluntly stated that technology has no national boundaries. I don’t know how Ku Ke said this shamelessly. Anyway, the reporter who interviewed him almost couldn’t help laughing...
After the video of this interview was released, it indeed caused quite a stir.
Most users of Pingguo naturally liked Cuco's remarks.
"It's well said that technology should not have national boundaries. Technology companies should work together to engage in research and development. Only in this way can the technological level of the earth be rapidly improved and our consumers can have a better high-tech product experience."
"Look, this is Pingguo's entrepreneurial spirit, innovation! Some of our domestic companies are so arrogant just because they are one step ahead. They even threaten to buy shares, and even give warnings to other companies when they go public."
"I hope Pingguo can develop better. The mobile phone manufacturers in Daxia are crazy about inserting advertisements into their mobile phones. Only by using Pingguo mobile phones can I experience the charm of technology, without advertisements and the harassment of junk software."
Of course, in addition to these likes and comments, there are more clear-headed netizens.
But no one expected that the first person to complain was Huang Chaoren, the vice president of Jiuzhou Technology who attended the meeting.
The young vice president faced the reporter's microphone with a fierce retort: "What? Mr. Cook said that technology has no borders? Then when our Jiuzhou Technology first started to develop semiconductors, why couldn't we even buy a light source equipment? ?
There is no Roshizi wafer cutting equipment or photoresist, and all that can be purchased are high-priced defective products.
There is also the mobile phone optimization software released by Jiuzhou Technology that year - Boundary. It is obviously safe and non-toxic, but I just cannot log in to the Pingguo mobile software mall. Our staff went to inquire about the situation. What do you think Pingguo said?
They actually asked us to open the software protection lock and bring the core code of the software to them for review. After careful review and approval, each version needs to be filed in this way before our software can be put on the shelves.
Haha, only by asking a company to give them the core secrets of its product development can they obtain a platform permission to log in. Even if they don't do anything, they can directly take away 30% of the revenue from the software. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world, and it’s ridiculous that science knows no borders. I just want to laugh. "
After speaking, Huang Chaoren answered the next reporter's interview with an indifferent expression.
After all, his current body is not ordinary, and he is not afraid that some companies will embarrass his company.
This rant immediately caused an uproar on the Internet, attracting countless applause from netizens.
