Chapter 535 Elpida, That's a Pit!

Chapter 535 Elpida, That's a Pit!

Next, the first thing to do is Mingkang Communication.

Gao Mingkang was very dissatisfied with the search of the company's R&D institute by the relevant departments in North America. He hired a local team of lawyers to formally sue the other party for abuse of power.

At the same time, Mingkang Communications announced that in view of the unreasonable local censorship system against Mingkang Communications, all products under Mingkang Communications will be temporarily withdrawn from the North American market.

In fact, the products of Mingkang Communications have been rejected by the US for reasons of national security.Whether to evacuate or not is just a gesture, and the significance of propaganda is far greater than the practical significance.

It is precisely because of Mingkang Communication's tough attitude that the relevant local departments had to return the materials and computer hard drives taken away during the search to Mingkang Communication North American Research Institute.

But the other party refused to apologize and did not offer any compensation.

Gao Mingkang made a decisive decision and transferred the North American Research Institute located in Silicon Valley to Canada as a whole, where he continued to carry out research work.

Hu Yang feels that Canada is not necessarily safe.It's just a research institute, and he can't afford to argue with Gao Mingkang.

At the end of the year, Glamor Semiconductor's research and development organization in Silicon Valley moved to RB as a whole, and recruited a lot of relevant talents in the semiconductor industry locally.

"Mr. Hu, Glamor Semiconductor's research institute in RB is operating well. Now there is a new situation there. RB Elpida is very interested in cooperating with us. They have sent people to contact the research institute several times. "

Yan Hanzhang has always supported the introduction of semiconductor technology and talents from RB. He was very happy with Elpida's goodwill, so he hurried to report to Hu Yang.

Populus euphratica is no stranger to Elpida.This semiconductor manufacturer, which mainly produces DRAM memory, once ranked third in the world.

However, due to the sudden emergence of Charm Semiconductor, Star S launched a price war in advance, defeating Elpida.According to incomplete statistics, Elpida's loss this year will be as high as 12 billion US dollars.

The historical trajectory of the past has actually changed.

In that time and space, Elpida began to decline rapidly after the global financial crisis in 2008.And filed for bankruptcy protection in 2012, and was finally successfully acquired by Micro & Light for 25 billion US dollars.

But now, Elpida has embarked on the road of decline, otherwise the other party will not take the initiative to put down its posture and seek cooperation from the "junior" in the industry of Charm Semiconductor.

Hu Yang looked up at Yan Hanzhang, and asked with great interest: "Cooperation is the only way to achieve win-win results. The question is how does the other party want to cooperate?"

"Initial feedback shows that Elpida is seeking industrial assistance from the RB government on the one hand, and on the other hand, the other party hopes to seek partners in the industry and is willing to introduce new strategic investors."

As Yan Hanzhang said, he handed over a document to Hu Yang.

Hu Yang glanced at it, and found that the other party's conditions were not harsh, but there was one last item, which required a security review by the RB government.

"It's the same thing again. The problem is that even if the RB government passes the security review, can you guarantee that no one else will do it wrong? For example, you can get in touch with them first, after all, things in the world are changing rapidly."

Hu Yang is not opposed to negotiating with the other party, but one must be cautious when reaching an agreement, so as not to cause unnecessary losses in time.

"Okay, Mr. Hu. I have some free time recently, and I will go there in person later."

Yan Hanzhang decided to go to RB to see the possibility of the cooperation plan proposed by Elpida.

After Yan Hanzhang left, Hu Yang called Wu Xinhui to the office and asked her to call the various companies under her company to make a periodic summary of the implementation of the "spare tire plan" and report back immediately.

Spare tire, spare tire, just in case.

In the case of being completely stuck, all technologies and parts have alternatives, which is the key to the survival of the enterprise.

On the second day after Yan Hanzhang went to RB in person, the reports of various companies were placed on Hu Yang's desk.

Hu Yang devoted half a day to carefully analyzing the progress of each company. He was generally satisfied with the implementation of the plan.

The biggest shortcoming now is still high-end lithography equipment.

As for the source of semiconductor materials, high-end technology is basically in the hands of RB people.With the close connection between the opponent and the domestic economy, the possibility of the opponent jumping out and getting stuck is not high.

Moreover, these raw materials are basically produced by domestic products one after another.There may be some deficiencies in quality, but it is still no problem to meet the production of enterprises in extraordinary times.

Sometimes, the biggest obstacle restricting the development of a certain domestic industry is not technology.As long as you are willing to invest in technology and don't take detours, there is still hope for a breakthrough.

The biggest obstacle for domestic enterprises to attack the middle and high end of the industrial chain lies in the market.

At present, many domestic industries are on the way of catching up with the world's advanced technology, and the quality, performance and other aspects of products inevitably have some gaps with the international advanced level.

Not to mention foreign-funded enterprises, but domestic enterprises, in order to compete in the market, when they purchase raw materials, parts and production equipment, they often aim at the best products in the world.

As a result, even if a domestic enterprise has mastered a certain advanced technology, it often suffers from poor product sales and unsustainable business performance, and often has no development potential.

"So, the market is what matters!"

Hu Yang put down the report in his hand, stood up and walked back and forth in the office.He feels that there is another important thing now, which is to appropriately increase the procurement ratio of some domestic raw materials and parts within the Huijia Department.

Yan Hanzhang went to RB for three days and then returned to the deep sea.

"Mr. Hu, the current cash flow of Elpida is very poor. They hope to introduce new strategic investors. On the one hand, they want to open up new markets, but most importantly, they want to raise funds."

After Yan Hanzhang came back, he immediately reported to Hu Yang.

Elpida's biggest problem now is that cash flow tends to dry up.

Moreover, within three days, Yan Hanzhang visited two production plants of the other party in China.The overall impression is that the other party's technology is good, but the management asks a lot of questions, and the production efficiency is relatively low.

"I always thought that RB companies were the kind of companies with very strict management and high efficiency. I didn't expect Elpida to be like an old man in his twilight years, with many problems."

Yan Hanzhang ended today's work report with a complaint.

Hu Yang nodded with a smile and said:

"RB companies are different, and of course they cannot be generalized. I think that the semiconductor battle that year had a far-reaching impact on these RB semiconductor companies.

Mr. Yan, do you think it is possible for us to cooperate with each other?Also, as I mentioned, if you really want to cooperate, can you pass the security review? "

"Mr. Hu, I think that Elpida is very ill now. Let's rush to cooperate with them and invest a huge amount of real money in it. The risk is very high. What I mean is to buy it as a whole without doing anything. !"

Yan Hanzhang smiled slightly, but the words he said were not so warm.

Hu Yang nodded, then shook his head again, said with a smile:

"Mr. Yan, you are doing great things! I agree with you that today's Elpida is not worthy of strategic investment.

As for the acquisition of the other party as a whole, the idea is good. I guess the hurdle of the RB government will be very difficult to pass.Even if the RB government does not object, Lao Mei will definitely get in the way.

In this way, you continue to maintain contact with them.When the conditions are ripe, we can also throw out our acquisition plan.Whether it will be successful or not will be discussed later, pay attention, and beware of Lao Mei's movements. "

Hu Yang set the tone of this matter, Yan Hanzhang understood it, and then left Hu Yang's office.

In fact, Populus euphratica is still very envious of Elpida's technology.

Elpida's DRAM memory chip technology has its unique features.The key is that it has a 23.5% share of the world DRAM market and supplies most of today's well-known computer manufacturers.

The sales channel of the other party is exactly what Charm Semiconductor lacks the most.

But it's a pity, Hu Yang estimated that there is a high probability that this matter will not succeed.

Just a week after Yan Hanzhang returned from RB, the RB government officially rejected the "industrial rescue plan application" submitted by Elpida.

At the same time, several major investment banks in the United States have adjusted the evaluation of Elpida to negative, and all investment recommendations are sell.

Elpida's stock plummeted in the Tokyo market, banks and other financial institutions began to stop lending to the company, and Elpida's capital chain was officially broken.

By this time, Elpida had no power to recover and had to announce its application for bankruptcy protection.

"Pit, really a pit, what the hell is a big pit!"

Yan Hanzhang, who received the news, said that he was standing on the edge of the pit, watching the situation with a smile.

He felt that the boss's prediction was correct, but fortunately he did not blindly participate in Elpida's strategic investor plan.

Therefore, Yan Hanzhang took out the overall acquisition plan prepared a few days ago and flew to RB again.

Beijing.

The courtyard of Populus euphratica has gained a lot of popularity.

The snowflakes falling from the sky are good omens in the eyes of Populus euphratica.

In the middle of winter, Populus euphratica and Tian Sichun led a large team to the north again, to the imperial capital.

"A Yang, I want to eat hot-boiled mutton."

After packing his luggage, Tian Sichun held Populus euphratica's arm and stood in the yard watching the snow fall.This season is the best time to eat mutton.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded, just as he was about to call Wu Xinhui to greet the kitchen, he saw that the other party had already walked not far behind the two of them.

"Assistant Wu, what's the expression on your face? I know you don't eat mutton, so let Master Liao cook two dishes for you alone at night, and make a fried sauce noodle, okay?"

Seeing Wu Xinhui's pale face, Hu Yang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
