The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 200: The famous academic overlord cannot be sold [Please order in full! 】

When Fengtian Changlang heard the news, he couldn't sit still.

Because Fengtian Company needs Huaxing Company’s advanced chips!

After Huaxing Automobile launched its easy-to-use smart car machine and became popular in the global market, the intelligent development of cars has become a clear path.

All the auto giants are following suit.

In fact, cars have a relatively long history of using chips.

Even before 1970, chips were already used in cars to control car audio, horns, ignition devices, etc.

By the 1970s and 1980s, automobile giants had begun to use chips to control power and braking systems.

From the 80s to the 90s, more intelligent functions appeared, such as tire pressure monitoring and active safety products such as ESC and road monitoring.

It can be said that the use of chips in automotive products has been accelerating.

Huaxing Chip now produces the most advanced chips in the world, which are not only advanced, but also very reasonably priced.

Therefore, Huaxing’s automotive chips are welcomed by global automotive giants.

They don't even have the incentive to seek out more suppliers or solve the problem themselves.

After Huaxing Automobile launched smart car machines and introduced driving assistance functions and intelligent human-computer interaction functions such as adaptive cruise and cruise control, electric windows, electric massage seats, and in-vehicle intelligent entertainment systems, the use of automobile chips Just more.

Today, a car uses hundreds or thousands of various chips.

Huaxing Group is the world's largest chip supplier.

They still provide a package of services.

They develop and design, they produce themselves, and they have built hundreds of chip manufacturing factories throughout China.

Huaxing Group provides 70% of the world's automotive chips. Do you dare to think this?
Therefore, Huaxing now has to delay the supply of automotive chips to Fengtian due to insufficient production capacity. This puts considerable pressure on Fengtian Automobile.

It directly affected the production of new cars by Fengtian Automobile.

It would be surprising if Fengtian Changlang was not shocked when he heard the news.

Fengtian Changlang hurriedly held a high-level meeting of Fengtian.

He wants a meeting to resolve the issue.

At this meeting, someone proposed that Huaxing Group delay the delivery of chips to Fengtian Automobile. This is a violation of the agreement. Fengtian Company can give a strong warning and seek huge compensation from the other party.

However, after they read the supply agreement signed between Fengtian Company and Huaxing Group, they found that there were no terms in the agreement that were beneficial to Fengtian Company!
After all, in the chip market, Huaxing Group is now almost in a seller's market position.

Now it is not Huaxing begging Fengtian to buy its own automotive chips.

Instead, Feng Tianshang rushed to ask for cooperation.

The agreement even clearly states: Because of delayed delivery of production capacity, Huaxing only needs to notify Fengtian Company.

This also means: Huaxing Company can use this clause to tie Fengtian's neck at any time without paying any price.

All the senior executives of Fengtian Company fell silent.

Yes, they were all silent.

They never expected that they would be so passive.

Fengtian Changlang said angrily: "From now on, we will never use Huaxing's chips again!"

"We actually have strong chip production capacity in China!"

"From now on, we will use our own domestic chips!"

Immediately, an executive expressed doubts: "President, our domestic chip manufacturing processes are very backward, and the design is not good enough."

"If we reluctantly use it, it will make the quality of our automotive products very unstable."

"Once our cars have large-scale quality problems, it will be too bad, and we will be abandoned by consumers at an accelerated pace."

Several more executives echoed the sentiment.

Fengtian Company has been cooperating with Huaxing Company on chips for more than three years.

Of course, they will definitely not place all their automotive chip orders with Huaxing Group.

They still insist on diversifying their suppliers.

For such an important product like chips, they originally handed over most of their demand to their domestic partner companies.

Secondly, there are foundries in the Bay Area.

The third is Huaxing Group.

They are also strictly guarding against Huaxing Company.

However, after cooperating with Huaxing Group, they discovered that cooperation with Huaxing Group is the most cost-effective.

Because Huaxing's chips have the best performance, and the price is more reasonable, even a little lower than those in Bay Province.

The product quality is good and the price is more reasonable.

This is quite tempting for a profit-oriented company like Fengtian Automobile.

The finished cars they produced finally verified one thing: the functions of finished cars using Huaxing chips are smoother and easier to use.

This made Fengtian determined: it must increase cooperation with Huaxing Group.

Today, Huaxing Group provides Fengtian Automobile with more than 70% and nearly 80% of the chips they require.

If this supply collapses, the blow to Fengtian will be fatal.

After all, they are already decadent enough now.

They have been losing ground in global markets.

What else could they do?
If we retreat further, we will face a life-or-death situation.

Everyone discussed it for a long time and agreed that we should not fight head-on, but should find the key points to solve the problem.

Even if the purchase of Huaxing chips is to be reduced in the future, it must be done slowly.

It’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all approach right away.

It is still necessary to cultivate the domestic automotive chip supply chain first.

They must be allowed to grow up as quickly as possible.

Before they really grew up, Fengtian Company had to swallow their anger and carefully cater to Huaxing Company.

This meeting was really frustrating.

However, Fengtian Changlang has no better way.

If Fengtian Company wants to survive, it has to rely on others.

Before, they wanted to see how old mold looked.

Now, they are still angry with Huaxing Group.

Fengtian Changlang's heart was extremely sad: just a few years ago, footbaths were worshiped by the Chinese because of their technologically advanced and economically developed countries.

What now? The Chinese seem to have faintly surpassed the footbath in many fields.

The final result of Fengtian Company's high-level discussion was that Fengtian Changlang personally called Zhang Zhipeng to apologize.

It turned out that Fengtian Company wanted to form an alliance to contain Huaxing Automobile, but now it has to give up this idea.

After the meeting, Fengtian Changlang returned to his office.

He sat down on the large boss chair.

Now, he only felt very tired and seemed to have no strength left in his body.

Fengtian Company has been established for many years. In fact, they have experienced many storms and crises, and they have overcome them all.

Once upon a time, Fengtian Company even faced the danger of destruction.

But Fengtian not only succeeded in saving himself.

They also received opportunities for great development.

It's really not easy for them to grow from a small company to the world's largest automobile giant step by step.

Such a huge foundation cannot be destroyed in my hands!
I must successfully solve the trouble in front of me now.

I will definitely be able to turn the tide and lead Fengtian Automobile to create greater glory!
Fengtian Changlang clenched his fists.

He gathered his strength again.

He thought of a word: a gentleman changes into a leopard!

When you are in a bad situation and it's time to stay down and play small, then you should stay down and play small.

So what if I suffered some humiliation?

As long as the rider can survive this difficulty, it will be a great victory!

In order to win, I will risk everything!
Fengtian Changlang thought so, and he found the phone number of the chairman's office of Huaxing Group.

He wanted to contact him personally and see if he could give Zhang Zhipeng a call.

Fengtian Changlang dialed the phone number of the chairman's office of Huaxing Group.

Fengtian Changlang dialed the phone, and soon someone picked up the phone.

Fengtian Changlang revealed his identity and hoped to have a phone call with Zhang Zhipeng, chairman of Huaxing Group, to clarify some misunderstandings.

At Huaxing Group, the person who received the call was the office director Guo Ping.

Guo Ping was a little surprised after receiving the call.

Moreover, she didn't quite believe that the president of Fengtian Group would personally call.

This is simply a bit unrealistic, right?

Guo Ping said: "Sir, we need to find out whether you are really the president of Fengtian Company."

"Prior to this, we will never allow you to have a phone call with our chairman."

Fengtian Changlang had no choice but to respectfully express that he could wait.

After Guo Ping hung up the phone, she immediately began a systematic investigation of the caller number.

The investigation soon revealed that the number called was indeed the phone number of the office of the chairman of Fengtian Company.

Guo Ping then hesitated and called Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng is not in Huaxing Group at the moment.

He works in the laboratory.

After receiving a call from Guo Ping and hearing Guo Ping explain her intention, Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "I guess they can't bear it a little bit, right? They have a chip stuck in their necks by us, so they are taking the initiative to show weakness."

"You can call Fengtian Changlang and tell him: Our chip production capacity is indeed tight now."

"If they are calling about the chip issue, then I'm sorry, but it probably won't be resolved for a while."

Guo Ping said quickly: "Okay, Chairman! Then I will contact Fengtian Company immediately."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "This time, our main purpose is to punish Fengtian Company."

"We must make them suffer a little! We cannot forgive them immediately as soon as they beg for mercy. That will definitely not work."

Footbath people are just bastards.

It has to be beaten until it hurts, and then they will learn to respect it.

Zhang Zhipeng thought to himself: Since we have already attacked Fengtian Company, we must make them pay a heavy price!

Even if they are not killed, they will lose half their lives!
Fengtian Automobile is now experiencing a major decline in performance internationally.

His actions this time were equivalent to killing him while he was sick!

After Guo Ping accepted Zhang Zhipeng's instructions, she immediately called Fengtian Changlang.

Fengtian Changlang was already in the office waiting for the phone on his desk to ring. He had been waiting for a long time.

He was already a little anxious from waiting.

While waiting, Fengtian Changlang was naturally thinking about how to get Zhang Zhipeng's favor when he talked to Zhang Zhipeng next. At this moment, the phone on his desk rang.

Fengtian Changlang's heart suddenly lifted.

He rubbed his hands and quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello! Mr. Zhang, I would like to take the liberty of contacting you..."

Fengtian Changlang spoke loudly.

His tone was very respectful, with a hint of flattery.

However, a woman's voice came from the microphone: "Mr. Fengtian, I'm sorry, I am Guo Ping, director of the chairman's office of Huaxing Group."

Only then did Fengtian Changlang realize that he was a little too eager.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Guo, I wonder if your chairman, Mr. Zhang, would like to call me?"

Guo Ping smiled and said: "Our chairman has entrusted me to have this communication with you."

"I wonder what's wrong with you?"

Fengtian Changlang was stunned.

He was quite humiliated.

What is this thing called?

As the president of Fengtian Company, I took the initiative to call you, but you refused?
You actually rejected me and asked your own office director to talk to me?

This is humiliating me!

Fengtian Changlang has no choice, he thought, do I have any other choice besides patience?
He smiled and said: "Miss Guo, I mainly want to apologize to Mr. Zhang this time."

"We may have had some misunderstandings in the past."

"However, I can make it clear: I personally respect Mr. Zhang very much."

"I hope to cooperate better with your company and let's work together to build the Qizhou brand!"

Fengtian Changlang spoke in a roundabout way.

He mainly just wanted to be nice.

Want to resolve the crisis by showing goodwill.

Guo Ping also knew that the other party was actually trying to get Huaxing Group to resume chip supply to Fengtian Company by talking about friendship.

People with footbaths still have a lot of tricks.

They will never do anything to achieve their goals!

Guo Ping thinks there is no need to go around in circles with the other party.

Just do what your boss tells you to do!
Talking too much nonsense actually doesn't make any sense.

Guo Ping smiled and said: "Mr. Fengtian, I'm sorry, our time is still very precious. If you have anything important, just say it directly."

Fengtian Changlang could hear the impatience in the other party's words.

He had no choice but to say: "Miss Guo, we hope that we can turn our hostility into friendship."

"The previously circulated news that Fengtian will join forces with global auto giants to harm your company is actually all false."

"We will never do anything detrimental to Huaxing Automobile."

"So, I hope your company can resume supplying automotive chips to us."

"Please stop engaging in internal competition in Anzhou. We should be united in dealing with the outside world."

What Fengtian Changlang said was very high-sounding.

His meaning has been made very clear: if you don't reconcile with them, you don't understand the general situation.

Guo Ping felt a little bored after hearing this. She chuckled and said, "Mr. Fengtian, you are really interesting."

"Don't think we don't know what you have done."

"Stop talking about yourselves like a white lotus. That's not interesting."

"As for the chips you mentioned, what I want to tell you is: our chip production capacity is indeed a bit tight."

"In recent days, a serious fire broke out at one of our gigafactories."

"Chip production had to be suspended."

"This creates a problem for our chip supply."

"Even our own car companies don't have enough automotive chips today."

"So, it's not that we are deliberately making things difficult for you. Please be considerate."

Guo Ping immediately responded to Fengtian Changlang's words.

Fengtian Changlang was very embarrassed. He knew in his heart that it seemed that this woman must have been authorized by Zhang Zhipeng.

It is no longer possible to solve the problem on the phone.

He had no choice but to smile and say: "Miss Guo, I hope to go to your country to meet Mr. Zhang Zhipeng. Is there any chance?"

"I think as long as we meet and chat, all misunderstandings will be resolved."

Guo Ping thought of her boss's attitude: it was clear that he wanted to clean up his little life.

She said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! Our boss is very busy recently and I'm afraid he doesn't have time to receive you."

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Fengtian Changlang felt very unwilling.

However, there was nothing he could do.

After ending the call, Fengtian Changlang sat there and thought for a long time.

In the end, he decided to go to China in person and be an uninvited guest.

Try to be as humble and humble as possible to win Zhang Zhipeng's understanding.

Because, if Huaxing Group cannot resume chip supply this time, it will be a heavy blow to Fengtian Company.

Fengtian Changlang personally led a team to Huaxing Group for inspection.

I took a very low stance and hoped to be forgiven.

However, he did not receive high-level reception at Huaxing Group.

Even Zhang Zhipeng never saw Fengtian Changlang.

The most he could do was negotiate with Yu Chengdong.

When talking to him, Yu Chengdong said: Huaxing currently has a huge gap in automotive chip production capacity, and there is no way to provide chips to Fengtian Automobile in a short time.

He also hoped that Fengtian Changlang could forgive him, and so on.

Yu Chengdong told Fengtian Changlang that it would only take three months at most. After three months, Huaxing Group could resume supplying chips to Fengtian Automobile.

Yu Chengdong said: "President Fengtian, please understand each other."

"We are businessmen, and of course we very much hope to resume supplying to you! We are eager to make more profits."

"So, don't think too much about it."

Faced with this situation, Feng Tianchanglang felt very desperate, and he even wanted to curse.

He begged in various ways, with various low postures, almost kneeling down to beg for help.

But in the end, Huaxing Group still couldn't be allowed to resume its supply of automotive chips.

This really frustrated him.

Is this a typical example of riding a horse until you die?

What else could he do?

Fengtian returns with long waves.

He can only try his best to divert the gap in the automotive chips he needs to domestic chip factories.

Domestic chips are indeed far behind Huaxing Group's automotive chips.

This can be found in past product market reactions.

Fengtian Automobile using Huaxing Group's chips will perform better in all aspects.

Cars using chips from other chip suppliers suffer from various failures and glitches.

In this case, it will bring a very bad experience to the car owner.

It will also make Fengtian Automobile face more complaints.

Coupled with the strong competition from Huaxing Automobile, it is estimated that Fengtian Automobile's market performance will be even worse.

Fengtian Changlang's heart was so bitter.

Of course, this also inspired his fierceness even more.

He thought, if you don’t want us to have a prosperous life, then we will break the pot and break it!
Even before I die, I will see if I can help you as my backer.

Fengtian Changlang once again started his own saucy operation: he planned to unite other automobile giants in the world to attack Huaxing Automobile.

However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

Fengtian Changlang tried his best to pull people, but no one responded enthusiastically.

Not to mention the automobile giants from other countries.

Even other domestic automobile giants are unwilling to support their Fengtian company.

Because other auto giants do not want to be buried with Fengtian Company.

On the contrary, other car companies in the footbath are even thinking that if Fengtian burps, they may be able to miss some of Fengtian's market.

You know, Fengtian’s domestic market share in footbaths is also quite large.

Fengtian Automobile is also a unique player among footbath cars.

Fengtian's collapse may also be a good thing for other car brands.

In short, this is what happened.

Fengtian Changlang tried his best to encourage and build gangs, but in the end he found that he did not have the influence to inspire thousands of followers.

Those giants who originally promised to stand with Fengtian to deal with Huaxing Automobile have all stopped.

Fengtian Changlang finally felt the crisis that Fengtian Company's life was hanging by a thread.

Of course, Fengtian Company was definitely not willing to let things go, and they began to use various means to save themselves.

They even thought of using high-level executives to put pressure on Huaxing Group to resolve Huaxing Group's current unilateral sanctions on Fengtian.

Naturally, all their plans came to nothing.

Zhang Zhipeng actually doesn't care too much about the life and death of Fengtian Company. He has more important things to do now.

The super generator has now encountered a bottleneck. Zhang Zhipeng has assigned some project members to continue testing. In addition, he has increased his research and development efforts on active destructive element explosive devices.

This thing can greatly enhance the lethality of the railgun, so if it is developed early, it will be of great significance.

The time has come to mid-January of 1998, and the new century is getting closer and closer.

On this day, Zhang Zhipeng's team finally produced the active destructive element explosive device.

The so-called active damage element, in fact, the full name should be called active damage element. As mentioned before, this thing is mainly used as a prefabricated fragment of the anti-personnel warhead.

It is combined with the railgun shell. After using powerful kinetic energy to penetrate the target, the active damage element device undergoes an explosive reaction inside the target, forming overpressure and secondary fragments, thereby more effectively damaging the target's internal facilities and personnel. .

To put it bluntly, it is used to enhance the explosion effect.

The active damage element was developed and tested several times in a laboratory environment, and the results were quite good.
