Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2019 Seeking to Go Out to Sea Again
The global economic growth will be weak in the future, and everyone will bet on computing power, and the bet on chips will be huge. In addition, Apple and Foxconn will all move to India, and the consumption of chips will be huge.

Coupled with the South Asian bully Vietnam's dream of becoming a great power, Ji Donglai was tempted, but Ji Donglai did not rush to agree to the other party. Instead, he asked Ran Bo to arrange for the other party to stay.

After getting the so-called order from the other party, Li Jing verified it through various channels, including Xin Li, Jie Xia and others.

"No wonder this grandson can kneel for so long. If it were me, I could kneel for a whole year. Damn it!"

After Ji Donglai saw all the details, he sent a very sympathetic look in Philip's direction, secretly thinking, "Grandson, you are the Filipino version of Qu Yuan."

Philip almost read some time nodes accurately, including the future of chips. The only thing he miscalculated was that the so-called spirit of contract was based on equal strength.

Philip is a pure middleman, and the country is still a loach. The other party is deep in the middle of the entire contract, which should be able to bind both parties.

But one party is a multinational corporation from the world's only superpower country, and the other party can refuse to execute any contract with just a document or an investigation report, because who would dare to execute it when they are the child of a superpower?
On the other hand, there are two famous rogues in South Asia. They can make up the truth without reason. The law can be increased or decreased for you. They can also rely on willpower and immunity to resist the United States, Britain and France. They want it even if you don’t give it to them. Out of stock? Sorry, are you tough or what?

Such a contract itself carries huge risks. Coupled with the huge force majeure of masks and the great tide of the times, if something goes wrong in the contract, Philip will lose all his money.

"This contract can still be done. Apple does need a large number of chips now, and some of the original chips were produced in our country. However, many people have the same fate as us. Shengli Company has locked the equipment, and now these chips cannot be produced at all."

"We all know that it is impossible to rely on the United States to resume production in a short period of time. Even if it is possible, price is a big problem. Labor costs and various things mean that they still hope to find a breakthrough in Asia."

"As for Vietnam, this is even more of a problem. They can't even make the lowest-end chips, so this is the best time to enter the market. But just in case, we'd better take the money first and then deliver the goods. The deposit should be increased to 40%."

"In addition, this time we can greatly increase the proportion of our output glass chips. Few people care about low-end chips. We can start from the low-end and then move to the high-end brands, so that people will gradually recognize us."

"This grandson of Philip has indeed caused us a lot of losses. This time we can take the opportunity to recover those losses and prevent the other party from having a change of heart. Fighting is a taboo in the business world. Donglai, this is what you taught me!"

Looking at all the documents, Xin Li knew that this was the best opportunity for Yiyuan Zhi to make chips. For so many years, Ji Donglai has been working hard on high technology, especially in the field of chips.

Ji Donglai is very annoyed that there has been no breakthrough in this field, especially recently, domestic manufacturers have been constantly raising various questions about glass chips.

Xin Li's idea was to go back and forth from outside to inside, and walk the same path again. Ji Donglai opened the window, looked at the mountains outside, and then looked at Philip's yard.

At this time, Philip was still sitting in the yard drinking tea, looking at the courtyard where Ji Donglai lived from time to time. There was no trace of an entrepreneur's temperament in her body, and she looked completely like a bullied young wife.

"We need him to use his stuff as collateral. This guy has a big business in our country. Also, let him see if he can find a domestic boss to act as a guarantor. We have a lot of money to invest in one production line."

The concept of flexible manufacturing sounds comfortable when it is proposed in many fields, but it is difficult to achieve when it is actually implemented.

Jidonglai chip printer is the most flexible equipment in the entire chip field, but it is just a dream to achieve a switch in seconds. Even the lithography machine is not so easy to switch in a short time, which requires adjustment and adaptation.

"Okay, I'll talk to him, and I'll make arrangements with Mr. Feng!"

Ji Donglai withdrew all the funds. Others didn't know, but Xin Li knew it very well. Ji Donglai wanted to devote all his energy to chips and try to solve all problems within this period of time.

This ideal is very full, but the result is very skinny.

Once a standard is unified and standardized, it is difficult to change it.

Making chips without photolithography machines? The products you make will definitely be substandard and no one will be able to supply them to. For example, don’t their chips generate a lot of heat?
No one would consider whether their chip design is unreasonable. It's just that you did a bad job, and everyone just subconsciously admits it.

At present, Donglai is pushing the company to transform in the direction of ODM, to become the domestic TSMC or the world's largest manufacturer, even if it is a little slower.

In the past few days, Ji Donglai has made more than a dozen trips to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, hoping to gain support from industry experts or department leaders, but with little success.

If Mr. Tu were still alive, the whole thing would have progressed much faster. Unfortunately, Mr. Tu is no longer here, and there are many things that no one is willing to let a junior take the risk, even if you have produced some results.

All the results forced Ji Donglai to do one thing: go out to sea.

"Mr. Philip, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just that this matter is too big now. You know that President Ji doesn't want to help you anymore because you broke the contract several times and even forged our documents. If President Ji calls the police now, you will be in prison in our country until your grandson is born!"

Holding the teacup, Xin Li looked at Philip coldly.

Philip's hand shook and the tea spilled onto his pants, scalding the other person.

"Boss Xin, don't worry, I will compensate you. You can name any amount. I have done a lot of dishonest things for my plan over the years. I will agree to whatever you say. Over the years, Boss Ji has been a very trustworthy friend. I promise to compensate you!"

As Philip took out his checkbook, Xin Li waved her hand.

"Stop pretending. This is not the time to pursue these matters. You can't escape the compensation. Now let's talk about the chip. Since you found us, it would be unreasonable for us not to do it."

"There's a saying in China that goes, 'You can't kill someone without kneeling down.' Now that you've knelt down, we can't help you. But all of this must be done on the basis of a contract and for the sake of cooperation. You must abide by the following points. First, all financial transactions must be made through our one-yuan payment and must not go through a third party. Can you accept that? I mean all of your funds, and we can transfer them among ourselves!"
