Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2018: Chip Trading Kneeling and Delivered to Your Door
In order to promote the mobile phone business, all employees of Yiyuan Zhizao adopted the old-for-new policy and distributed the mobile phones in batches according to different configurations. Almost overnight, the streets were filled with these high-tech mobile phones.

“Boss Ji, Mr. Phillip is here and has been wanting to see you!”

Ji Donglai and his men had just finished a meeting on chips and were very busy at the time. Ran Bo informed them that Philip was coming, and Ji Donglai couldn't help but frown.

"Which one?"

Ji Donglai has come into contact with more than five Philips over the years, and none of them are worry-free. The bastard in the Philippines is the most annoying. He took a lot of benefits and took away a lot of technological work, but he didn't get much in return.

"It's the one in the Philippines..."

"No, he's the most annoying one!"

Thinking of his grandson's performance over the years, Ji Donglai directly refused. The two of them had cooperated on a lot of things, and Philip became more and more cunning. In the past few years, he gave the business to Jieshia, and Philip forged documents to cheat a lot of things.

Now that all the business has been assigned to Xin Li again, it was discovered that Jie Xia had attributed all these things to Yiyuan Zhizao. Not only that, Ji Donglai even suspected that his grandson was involved in Kan Changshun's affairs.

After receiving Ji Donglai's clear order, Ran Bo had Philip driven away.

It turned out that Philip really had something to do this time. Ji Donglai had been busy at the chip company for more than ten days and finally returned to Yakou Village to rest. However, when he arrived at the village entrance, his car was stopped by Philip.

"Mr. Ji, help!"

“Drive away!”

Faced with Philip's rude behavior, Ji Donglai raised his eyebrows. Ran Bo led people to carry Philip away. Ji Donglai went home and slept as usual until he woke up naturally the next day.

"Philip has been kneeling outside the house all night. Did he want to meet him?"

Ji Donglai was having breakfast over there, and Ran Bo reported in a low voice, which made Ji Donglai stunned.

"Is he mentally ill? He relies on us for food and drink, and now he wants to come to us? Would you help him if it were you? Give him the phone number. I won't see him. If you have anything to say, talk over the phone."

Thinking of the slickness of Philip, the foreigner, Ji Donglai was furious. In Ji Dong's opinion, Philip was just like their country, two-faced.

This place was under the jurisdiction of the University of Tokyo for a long time, and then Spain came and it was under the jurisdiction of Spain. After World War II, it was under the jurisdiction of the United States, and it still calls itself the Little America of Asia.

Now he is also living a double-faced life, following whoever gives him more benefits. If no one gives him benefits, he will be a dog for the strongest one, blackmailing the people around him. Ji Donglai is so annoyed with this bastard.

"Mr. Ji, help! We know that you are the only one who has the best chips now. Our chips are completely out of stock. If you don't save us, our company will be completely dead. Please help us..."

Philip received Ji Donglai's call and immediately started to complain, or even cry. This time, the incident originated from the other party's greed. With the rise of the South Asian bully economy, Philip saw an opportunity.

Because of his long-term relationship with Ji Donglai, who also traveled back and forth between Wall Street and Silicon Valley, he seized the exclusive supply rights of 8-inch MCUs when Vietnam's industry was rising. All this before the mask incident meant that Philip could become the richest man in the Philippines. After all, this thing is too profitable. Ordering from American IDM manufacturers, then shipping in bulk to the Philippines, tearing off the packaging or changing the packaging, and sending it directly to Vietnam can make a lot of money.

During the peak period of Philip's supply, these goods were in short supply, and manufacturers in the United States also regarded Philip as a hot commodity.

However, all this was accompanied by the discovery by IDM manufacturers at the end of 2019 that Philips' chips had entered China out of control, and the other party immediately froze all supplies.

In this way, all of Philip's orders in Vietnam were cut off. Vietnamese customers were not easy to deal with. They directly seized twelve of Philip's ships, and the cargoes inside were Philip's entire fortune.

If Philip could not deliver on time, these ships would either be blown up or confiscated. Philip was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Fortunately, someone told Philip that Ji Donglai could produce chips here and he did not have to worry about being sanctioned because he did not sell them in America at all.

"Boss Ji, help me! That's all my wealth. If I lose it, our future will be gone, as well as my family and my clan."

"Please help me because I helped you find the murderer. I promise that I will use all your goods in the future. Miss Yang would never have found the murderer without my help. If you need it, I will give you any information I can, as long as I am alive!"

"Mr. Ji, we are best friends. I came here with a large sum of money. If you need me, I can use any payment method. Please help me..."

At this time, Philip's eyes were full of stars. He had never been so humble in all these years.

No one wants to see the wealth that their family has worked hard for for generations go down the drain overnight. The key is that this is not the end. The Vietnamese threatened that if Philip could not deliver the goods on time, they would hunt down Philip's family until they were dead.

Philip can't afford to offend the person who can get all the power MCU supplies in Vietnam, and now he is really desperate.

"You must be kidding. The whole world is short of MCUs, including Americans themselves. You can take it from me if you want, but what do you think I do here? To tell you the truth, we don't have time to produce such low-end chips. We don't make money and we have a lot of work to do."

"Don't your friends in Seattle have a contractual relationship with you? Just go find them. I'm overwhelmed with orders every day, so I don't need to bother with something as simple as yours."

"Don't kneel in front of my door anymore. It's disturbing the city. If some Western tourists come here, they might upload your photos. Where will you put your face then?"

When Ji Donglai heard that the other party was a victim of chip shortage, he did not sympathize.

In the past, many chips were re-exported from the other side. What happened? Sunzi sold them at several times the price. Now the situation has changed.

"Boss Ji, we can discuss the price. I promise that even if they come to me again in the future, I will use your chips exclusively. We are friends and we are so close. The trade between us is not comparable to that of the countries on the other side of the ocean!"

"And Mr. Ji, I have all the chip orders for Vietnam and India for the next ten years. There are many advanced chips, even Apple chips. If you just help me this time, I will give you all the orders. Please help me once..."

Philip finally grabbed this life-saving straw and faced Ji Donglai's various assurances.

Ji Donglai didn't want to help the other party at first, but when he thought about the orders for the next ten years, he was really tempted.
