Chapter 578 Samsung hands-on (4K)

Bangzi, Hannamdong Villa.

As soon as Li Yinxin returned to China, she went straight to her home.

"Mom, where are Dad, Big Brother, and Sister?"

"It's in the study."

Hong Luoxi rolled his eyes at the leftover woman, "Don't bother them to talk about business, come with me." He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the sofa. There were various pictures of men on the coffee table, "You Let's see, which of these do you like?"

"Mom, I don't like any of them."

Li Yinxin didn't even look at her, her mind was full of Lu Fei, no matter what level they were, they were worthy of being compared with Ouba!
"Oh, Yin Xin, you are going to piss me off."

Hong Luoxi was resentful and helpless: "Don't think that you are the president of Line, the richest woman, so you don't have to get married. When I think of you at 28 years old, I can't sleep all night..."

"Ah! Aunt, are you insomnia? I'll call the doctor to see you right away." Li Yinxin ran away in a hurry and climbed up to the second floor.

Seeing Li Fuzhen sitting in the lounge outside the house, flipping through the newspaper, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Ah, Yin Xin is back."

"Hey, Ernie, why aren't you in there?"

Li Yinxin was very surprised.

"Father and elder brother are talking about state affairs."

Li Fuzhen showed an embarrassed smile, and put the newspaper on the table casually, "Did you tell me what you told Lu Fei?"

"said."

Li Yinxin poked her head over, and when she saw the news about the 08 presidential election on the headlines on the front page, she had a vague guess.

Growing up in a chaebol family, I have been influenced by my ears and eyes. This is the betting session once every four years. Whether it is Ms. Park or Mr. Li is related to the development of Samsung in the next four years.

Just then, the door "clicked" open.

Li Zairong shook hands with the man who also wore glasses with a smile, "Let me leave this matter to Lawyer Jin."

"President and president, please rest assured that nothing will go wrong."

Jin Yongzhe bent slightly, respectfully.

Li Zairong patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction. He noticed Li Fuzhen and Li Yinxin from the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help raising his chin. No matter how united your sisters are, they can't threaten his heir's throne.

He smiled and said, "Fu Zhen, Dad let you in."

Li Fuzhen entered the room calmly.

Seeing that Li Jianxi closed his eyes and meditated, he suddenly opened his eyes and beckoned, "Fuzhen, let me ask you, what are the prices of Dram chips and NAND flash memory in the market now?"

Li Fuzhen knew that this was a school test, so he answered it seriously.

“512Mb Dram芯片已经跌破1美刀大关，普遍在0.95到0.97美刀，1Gb跌到2.12美刀……512Mb NAND闪存最近下降到25美刀，不出意外的话，年内就会跌到19美刀……”

Listening to his daughter's report, Li Jianxi was relieved from the bottom of his heart: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with arranging you in the foundry."

"Dad, have you decided to invest counter-cyclically?" Li Fuzhen grabbed his hand and looked him in the eyes.

"Of course! The United States is cutting prices, and neon is also cutting prices. Are we going to sit back and watch Samsung's share be divided by them?" Lee Jae-yong sneered, "I came to you to inform you, the foundry minister, Dad and I have decided to drive down the price of Dram chips and NAND flash memory!"

"Fu Zhen, if you do this this time, do you think you can defeat some of the world's top-ranked storage manufacturers?"

Li Jianxi pressed his hand, telling him to be calm.

Li Fuzhen thought for a while, and cautiously stated that Qimonda, Elpida, and Hynix would be in trouble.

"tell me your opinion."

Li Jianxi's eyes lit up.

Li Fuzhen analyzed that although Micron is currently fighting a price war, due to the weak demand for Dram chips in recent years, a large part of its 8-inch wafer production capacity has been converted to the production of CMOS photosensitive elements used in mobile phone cameras. .

Also, the order is mostly from logic.

Elpida is not so lucky. Although it wants to take advantage of the dividends of smart phones and produce Dram memory chips dedicated to consumer electronics, Logic and Apple don’t buy it. They can only sell at discounts with tears in their eyes. surging.

Let the finances that are not rich even worse.

But no matter how much it loses, it is better than Qimonda. Qimonda is heavily in debt, even if it is supported by Infineon and logic.

Because life and death just refuse to lower the price, just like the 512Mb Dram chip has always been maintained at 1.76 US dollars, the price is almost twice that of the same quality on the market!
"What about Hynix? It made $20 billion last year."

Li Jianxi squinted his eyes. Besides Samsung, Hynix is ​​the giant in the stick memory chip field.

"Dad, Hynix made a strategic mistake."

Li Fuzhen said with a smile: "Originally lost to us and Toshiba in the new process of NAND flash memory, and blindly expanded, and greatly increased the production of 300mm wafers, it was fine, and a large amount of investment was invested in 56, 36nm DRAM chips and 48nm NAND flash memory On the production line, as long as the price does not rise, Hynix will definitely suffer from tight liquidity.”

Li Zairong looked at his sister's analysis in a clear way, and he was very vigilant in his heart. He hurriedly said: "Dad, look, my judgment is correct. Now we are the ones who smashed America, Germany and the neon storage industry." The perfect time!"

Li Jianxi said with a straight face, "Is it possible for Samsung to eat one of Qimonda, Elpida, and Hynix?"

"Dad, I can only say that Hynix is ​​the most promising among the three companies!" Li Fuzhen said solemnly, "As long as Samsung insists on counter-cyclical investment and keeps chip prices at a very low level, Hynix will not be able to afford production costs and Loan interest, once it cannot get outside financing, the high debt is enough to ruin it, but..."

"But what?" Li Jianxi asked curiously.

"Will Zhengfu allow us to acquire Hynix?"

Li Fuzhen said worriedly: "If you don't support Samsung's monopoly, you will definitely pick one from Hyundai, SK, and LG to take over."

"Of course there is no problem with this. As long as Ms. Park can succeed in the future, we will definitely be able to acquire Hynix."

Li Zayong adjusted his glasses, and a sinister smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

"Why not Lee?"

Li Fuzhen frowned, puzzled.

"We have invested in both, but we prefer Park. It's very simple. Behind Lee are Hyundai and SK. No matter how much we support him, he will definitely help them first, and then Samsung."

Lee Jae-yong curled his lips, wondering if Hynix would go bankrupt, it would be swallowed up by SK or Hyundai Group, and then Samsung would make wedding dresses for others in vain.

"Father, brother, how are you going to lower the price?"

Li Fuzhen asked about the joint price reduction plan.

Lee Jae-yong triumphantly revealed that the price of Dram chips should be lowered by 4-16%, 17G NAND flash memory will also be reduced to 8 or 38 dollars, and 39G will be [-] or [-] dollars. In short, it is to let Qimonda , Hynix, they can't survive!

Even if I survived, I would rather die than live!

"Dad, Samsung Electronics will be in deficit for a year like this..."

Li Fuzhen made a rough calculation, at least a floating loss of US$[-]-[-] million.

"Isn't our 3D NAND flash memory about to be successfully developed?" Li Jianxi showed a sly smile.

"Trial production will be possible in the second half of 08 at the earliest."

Li Fuzhen nodded, "Furthermore, Dad, after the launch of our smart phone, the Samsung i9000, sales in Asia are quite good, second only to Logic and Apple. I think the next step is to open up the European and American markets."

"It seems that your smart phone's decision is right!"

Li Jianxi stared at his daughter, and couldn't help feeling why she wasn't a boy. He covered up his disappointment and said, "Then use the profits from consumer electronics to make up for the deficit in semiconductors."

"Dad, since my sister is so good at smartphones, why don't you just let her be the deputy director of the Consumer Electronics Department and let her focus on cell phones, what do you think?"

Lee Jae-yong said that he would seize the power of her foundry department.

Li Fuzhen gritted his teeth, "Dad..."

"Sister, don't get me wrong, I just put you in a field where you are better at." Li Zairong was not without pride.

The water of counter-cyclical investment is very deep, you can't grasp it!
Guan Jian Lufei has also launched a storage brand, where can he find such an excellent opportunity to retaliate?
Let my sister come, I am afraid of malpractice for personal gain.

"Just as Jae Yong said, Fu Jin, you will be the head of the Consumer Electronics Department and the executive of Samsung Electronics, and the foundry will be handed over to him." Li Jianxi patted the armrest of the chair.

"Executive!?"

Li Zairong turned pale with fright, the executive rank is more cowhide than the ministerial rank, and he is only one step away from his position as vice president.

No, I'm not the only successor!
…………

In July, the global Dram chip and NAND flash memory markets experienced severe turbulence, and there were continuous and substantial price cuts.

The entire storage industry has fallen into a colder winter.

Lu Fei was sitting in Zhenjiang City, staring at the relevant domestic and foreign news on the computer, his eyebrows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

"DigiTimes quoted industry insiders as saying that behind this wave of price cuts are three major memory chip manufacturers in the world: Micron, Elpida and Hynix."

"Memory chips have fallen to the price of cabbage."

"Samsung repeated its old tricks and adopted the 'counter-cyclical investment' strategy again. Not only did it not choose to shrink to save its life, but it also chose to expand production aggressively like Hynix."

"The competition among storage vendors has reached a fever pitch."

"..."

While browsing, the landline rang.

It was Lin Jiaqing who made the call. For such a big event as the opening ceremony of YMTC, how could there be so few leaders to cut the ribbon.

"You slicker, you definitely won't do it just for this. Let's talk about what you want this time, policies, funds, and whatever you want. As long as it doesn't violate the principle, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Hey, leader."

What else can Lu Fei say, of course he wants everything!

The reason why Samsung dares to play counter-cyclical investment like this again and again is that there is a stick Zhengfu behind it to deliver ammunition. The reason why Qimonda and Elpida are bound to fail is because Deutschland and Neon will not continuously provide funds.

And Huaxia will definitely fully support it unconditionally.

It's very simple. Before YMTC, except for the two wafer foundries jointly established by Fuxin, Toshiba and Samsung, and the production line imported from Qimonda, the memory and flash memory that can be independently produced in China can be found in the mainland except for Wanwan. less than one.

Imports alone cost hundreds of billions of dollars every year!

"The National Fund will be established soon. The first batch of projects will include Fuxin, Logic and Yangtze River Storage in the list. It is estimated that 15 to 20 billion will be injected. How to allocate it is up to you. We believe you The money must be put to good use.”

Lin Jiaqing was not stingy, and cared for the only single seedling in every possible way, and even asked state-owned semiconductor companies across the country to help purchase memory sticks and flash memory particles of Yangtze River Storage in large quantities.

Just like etching machines, SMIC ordered 4 sets in one go!
"That leader, these alone may not be enough."

Lu Fei implements "crying children have milk", saying that Yangtze River Storage must achieve at least 5% market share within 10 years, because of the R&D team of hundreds of people and the annual R&D expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars, It is almost guaranteed to have an annual income of 10 billion to 20 billion dollars, which is equivalent to the level of Hynix.

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't be satisfied so easily, tell me, what else do you need?"

Lin Jiaqing's doting voice came from the phone.

"Can the computers purchased by zhengfu and state-owned enterprises not be mandatory, and it is best to give priority to memory sticks and solid-state drives that use Yangtze River Storage, such as Shenzhou computers?"

"Why don't domestic brands such as Lianxiang and Tongfang purchase YMTC, and don't consider it?"

"Hey, that would be great."

"Hey, stop, don't climb up the pole for me, it's impossible."

"Leader, you see that Lianxiang has taken so many resources, technology and policy support. In the end, it is a foundry. I can't count on them for anything else, but Yangtze River Storage must help, or support them. Well?"

"I know, you have a lot of opinions on Lianxiang."

"Leader, can I swear?"

"Of course not."

"Then I have nothing to say to Lianxiang."

Under the cordial and friendly conversation between the two, Lin Jiaqing was persuaded, but not completely convinced, and did not agree to implement it nationwide in one breath, but took out the director's office as a pilot.

As long as there is no problem with the computer installed with YMTC products and the operation is normal, unwritten verbal instructions will be issued secretly, just like the invisible protection period of domestic movies in summer.

"Don't worry, I promise you, I will give you a surprise on the opening day."

"What surprise?"

"Hehe, I can't say it now."

"You, you can always come up with some new tricks for me."

Lin Jiaqing didn't go into details, chatted for a few minutes and hung up the phone. Lu Fei whistled and called Gao Qiquan to the office.

Since a press conference is going to be held, it is better to make the battle a bit bigger, inviting Shenzhou, HP, and of course a group of friends like Lianxiang to show off the muscles of YMTC in person.

The time was set on July 7th, and the media and friends who received the notice had enough time to fly to Jiangcheng.

The media that did not receive it began to look for relationship activities, trying to get first-hand information as soon as possible. This is the most sensational event in the domestic business community and the semiconductor industry recently.

Master Lu has achieved zero breakthrough for Huaxia again!
On the eve of the press conference, in addition to reposting, reporting, and analysis by some media, Lu Fei also used the power of the Internet. Weibo, post bars, portals, Q groups, and blogs were overwhelmingly full of news that "Yangtze River Storage is about to open."

In such a climax, an invitation letter suddenly appeared on the desk of Liu Chuanzhi, who was recuperating at home.
