Chapter 554
Chapter 554 Offense Instead of Defense

The fifth day of the first lunar month.

Hu Yang held an interim meeting of the decision-making committee in Modu, asking everyone not to ask for leave.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Hu Yang walked into the conference room of Pudong International Building.

This is the first time in the history of the Huijia Department to hold a meeting during the Spring Festival holiday, and it is also the highest-level decision-making committee meeting.

At this time, many people were already waiting in the conference room, and when they saw Hu Yang, everyone greeted him one after another.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded, ignoring the pleasantries, he announced the official start of the meeting as soon as he sat down.

"Everyone, first of all I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's Spring Festival holiday. Everyone must have known that Mr. Yang Chenglin and Mr. Yang have returned home smoothly.

However, the follow-up of Mr. Yang's matter is not over yet.In other words, from now on, Charm Semiconductor will not only have trouble obtaining technology and components from certain places, but it will also be difficult for its products to enter the North American market.

The impact of this incident seems to be limited to one company, Charm Semiconductor.But I think this is the first attack against our Huijia series, and there will be an endless stream of follow-up methods.

Now, please share your views."

The various situations encountered so far are unexpected by Hu Yang.

He always thought that the other party would target Mingkang Communication first if they wanted to do something. After all, the other party had already ranked Mingkang Communication's products outside the North American market for reasons of national security.

So logically, the other party still has a series of means to attack Mingkang Communication until it is defeated.

In fact, Hu Yang took it for granted. He borrowed experience from his previous life, but misjudged some specific problems at this point in time.

For example, although the current Mingkang Communication is a pretty good communication company, it is nothing more than that.The company's technology is far from being the best in the world, and compared with the world's communication giants, it has no obvious advantages.

In this case, people only need to limit your development, and don't need to invest too many resources to attack you.

But Charm Semiconductor is different from NTS, especially Charm Semiconductor, which integrates chip design and manufacturing, and is catching up in the field of memory chips.

In this case, some people already feel the threat and want to cut off this trend from the source.

In the meeting room, there was a moment of silence.

Then Yan Hanzhang coughed lightly, and was the first to speak:

"Mr. Hu, everyone. I think the impact of this matter will be far-reaching. Although we have launched a backup tire plan, there are still some shortcomings that cannot be made up.

For example, our high-end lithography machines still need to be imported, and there are many North American companies among our partners.

Now that this matter happens, Charm Semiconductor's revenue and profits will drop, which is still an intuitive loss.

So, we have to be prepared for hard times. "

Now that the opponent has already started the first wave of attacks, it indicates that the darkest hour of the Huijia family has arrived.

Although Yan Hanzhang didn't say it clearly, he meant that he was already considering strategic contraction.

"I agree with Mr. Yan. At this time, preserving ourselves is the only task. Mr. Hu, everyone, we are juniors in the semiconductor industry after all, with insufficient accumulation and experience. At this time, we can only survive if we work hard. There is tomorrow."

The next speaker was Xu Younian, whose views were similar to those of Yan Hanzhang.

But Mu Shaoqing shook his head at this moment, and said:

"Strategic contraction is not advisable. The development of an enterprise is not like sailing against the current. If you do not advance, you will retreat! The price of contraction is that the market continues to shrink, and the technology gap caused by insufficient R&D investment is widening. In the end, I am afraid it will be nothing.

I think we must go against the trend. Charm Semiconductor should take this opportunity to expand production capacity, increase investment in research and development, and narrow the gap with international giants as soon as possible. "

In Huijia's semiconductor industry chain, Charm Semiconductor is the one most likely to catch up with the world's advanced technology.

At present, the company has a trend of catching up from behind in the area of ​​flash memory.In terms of DRAM memory chips, the company's technology is also advancing by leaps and bounds.

This judgment should be correct, and this is probably the reason why the opponent chose Charm Semiconductor as the first target.

Next, Xia Bing and Mu Shaoqing stood together, and she did not agree with the strategic contraction.

Hu Yang didn't express his opinion. He looked at Meng Rusong who was attending the meeting for the first time, and said, "Let me tell you something, our decision-making committee has expanded from now on. Welcome Mr. Meng and Mr. Wan to officially become the executive members of the decision-making committee."

The Huijia department has developed by leaps and bounds. There are still five executive members of the decision-making committee, and one non-executive member, namely Wan Qingshan.

Hu Yang took this opportunity to directly let Meng Rusong join the decision-making committee and serve as the executive committee member.Wan Qingshan took a step forward from being a non-executive member and also served as an executive member.

As a result, the number of executive members of the decision-making committee has become seven.

Meng Rusong stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Hu, for your trust and everyone's support."

"Mr. Meng, sit down and talk about your views."

Hu Yang waved his hand, motioning for Meng Rusong to sit down and talk.

Meng Rusong nodded and sat down.His opinion was consistent with Mu Shaoqing's, and he believed that strategic contraction was not a good idea.

At present, the share of Charm Semiconductor in the domestic market is not large, and there is still room for further improvement.

In addition, many consumer electronics manufacturers are building factories in China one after another. In the future, the domestic demand for various chips will increase.

Therefore, there are many opportunities for both Charm Semiconductor and Xintong International, and there is no need to be blindly pessimistic.

After Meng Rusong finished speaking, Wan Qingshan also expressed the same opinion.

Finally, Hu Yang said:
"Just now everyone talked about their views, and I would also like to say a few words. From now on, all companies must be aware of urgency at all times, and must earnestly implement the backup plan.

No matter what everyone's views were before, from now on, our policy is to replace defense with offense and be proactive.

Mr. Yan, next, can you guarantee the normal production according to the previous alternative plan? "

Yan Hanzhang thought for a while and said: "Normal production can be guaranteed, we may need to adjust the structure of customers and speed up the pace of technological progress."

"Well, then you should hurry up and implement it. Everyone, for us, no matter what kind of difficulties we face, the first thing is to do our own things well. After today's meeting is over, everyone should return to their respective jobs immediately. .”

Soon, Hu Yang announced the end of the meeting.

Today's meeting, on the one hand, is to inform you about the situation of Charm Semiconductor.On the other hand, it also allows everyone to have a collision of ideas, so that they can be aware of the difficulties in the future.

After the meeting, everyone rushed to the airport, and the target was naturally the location of their respective companies.

Yan Hanzhang stayed in Shanghai, and it happened that the senior management of Charm Semiconductor was here, and they held another meeting to further clarify the company's next work focus.

"Mr. Hu, from now on, we will strengthen cooperation with domestic manufacturers. Our focus will be on DRAM products and flash memory for mobile terminals."

After the meeting, Yan Hanzhang approached Hu Yang to report.

From now on, Glamor Semiconductor will focus on these manufacturers of smartphones and tablet PCs, and strive to increase their domestic market share.

"That's right, you can't defend by relying on defense alone, and you still need to actively develop. Mr. Yan, we don't need to be discouraged. In a few years, many electronic consumer products will be produced in China. And China will also become the world's largest consumer electronics industry. The largest consumer market for chips."

Since China's accession to the WTO, industrial upgrading has begun.

In the last decade, especially in the mid-to-late 90s, China began to make efforts in the field of household appliances, which gradually changed the situation where RB and South Korean household appliances dominated the market.

After entering the new millennium, China began to deploy electronic products represented by mobile phones, and launched an impact on communications, integrated circuits and other fields.

Many international giants have begun to relocate their production lines to China, and various supporting industries are becoming more and more perfect.In this case, Charm Semiconductor should take the initiative instead of shrinking.

Therefore, after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Hanzhang, Huang Tao and others began to divide the work.

Yan Hanzhang focused on sales, and the company's sales department began to actively contact customers, and vigorously promoted the company's brand on products such as memory sticks and SD cards.

After Yang Chenglin came back, he rested for two days and then plunged into the research institute.

Huang Tao and Sa Hongli are mainly responsible for the production of each factory, especially Sa Hongli, who almost regards the factory as his home and strives to improve the yield of products.

To be honest, when the Yang Chenglin incident first happened, Charm Semiconductor was a little flustered.Although the company proposed a "spare tire plan" a long time ago, many people did not have that sense of urgency.

After the initial panic, everyone in the company held their breath and burst out with great enthusiasm for work.

The rise and fall of the company is closely related to the vital interests of every employee, and no one wants the company to fall like this.

As soon as the Spring Festival holiday ended, Charm Semiconductor began to work hard to recover the lost orders.

It is not to persuade some people to change their minds, but to actively expand new customer groups.Under the personal leadership of Yan Hanzhang, this work has achieved obvious results in only half a month, and the number of orders has returned to the previous level.

Hu Yang has been paying attention to the situation of Charming Semiconductor, and after observing it for a while, he feels very relieved.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Bolong Optical and Microelectronics officially signed a contract on cross-shareholding.

After negotiations between the two parties, they mutually recognized their respective asset evaluations.

According to the agreement, after this round of equity replacement, Bolong Optics will hold 45% of the equity of Microelectronics Equipment, and Microelectronics Equipment will hold 27% of the equity of Bolong Optics.

This part of the cross-shareholding has no voting rights, and the two parties have only bundled their interests.

After Hu Yang attended the signing ceremony, he returned to the deep sea with his family that afternoon.

"Mr. Hu, yesterday's news report is about the signing ceremony of Bolong optical and microelectronic equipment, and there is also a brief comment."

The next day, when Hu Yang arrived at the office, Wu Xinhui told him that the national media reported the news last night.

"It seems that the country is also preparing to publicize this matter in a high-profile way."

Some things do need high-profile publicity, which is virtually a kind of pressure on some international giants.

At present, microelectronics equipment has won the 65nm lithography machine, and the next step is the 45nm immersion lithography machine. In this way, it is meaningless for the relevant companies to restrict the export of lithography machines.

Sure enough, Meng Rusong called in the morning, saying that AS&L had suddenly notified NTS International that the company could accept the reservation of the company's 28nm lithography machine without any conditions attached.

"Mr. Hu, we have temporarily lifted the risk of cutting off the supply of lithography machines. However, in the long run, this risk still exists. For example, the next-generation extreme violet lithography machine is not included in the lifting of restrictions."

Currently, AS&L is investing heavily in the development of extreme violet lithography (EUV).In order to share risks, companies such as Taipower, S Star, Intel, etc. have carried out project financing.

Therefore, when new equipment comes out, it will be supplied to these companies first.As for Xintong International and Charm Semiconductor, it is still unknown when and whether they will be able to get the goods.

"Mr. Meng, this is a good start. Again, if you want not to be stuck by others, you must first be yourself. Order equipment, you can handle it yourself, but try to take care of the microelectronics equipment. "

At present, a consensus has been reached within the Huijia Department.If domestic equipment and domestic parts can be used, there is no need to import them.

Of course, this also has a premise, that is, the quality of the product needs to be guaranteed.

"Mr. Hu, don't worry, we all know the importance of supporting domestic products now."

Meng Rusong didn't say much, and quickly hung up the phone.

Hu Yang handed the mobile phone to Wu Xinhui, and began to deal with official business.

When it was almost noon, Chen Jialin came to his office.

"Brother Hu, you didn't come back during the whole Spring Festival, so I couldn't find anyone to drink. So what, the matter of Yang Chenglin and Mr. Yang is over?"

Due to the heavy production tasks of Wanshi Technology, coupled with the construction of the second phase of the Star City production base, Chen Jialin actually rested for less than a week during the Chinese New Year.

He has also been concerned about the Yang Chenglin incident and its subsequent development. The entire Huijia Department is now prosperous and damaged. Of course, he is a little worried.

"Young Master Chen, that's all for the time being. Charming Semiconductor suffered a dumb loss this time, so it can only get over it slowly. But this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, so it's good to exercise."

The Yang Chenglin incident was caused by some people making trouble out of nothing.

Just like playing Go, people create a robbery, and then rob, Charm Semiconductor naturally suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

But you have no reason to go, this is reality.

"Brother Hu, if, I mean if. If you don't care about Mr. Yang for now, I don't think you can do anything to him in the end. At most, you will stay in North America for a year or a half. If this is the case, will the other party just find him?" No more excuses?"

Chen Jialin has been analyzing this question, but has not come to a clear conclusion, so he asked it directly today.
