I can extract side effects.

Chapter 445 Heisi's end, the three parties join forces
Just as the discussion was raging, Wei Kang received a call from an old acquaintance.

After connecting, Wang Guiqing's hearty laughter came from the phone.

"Mr. Wei, Sony has unilaterally torn up the cooperation agreement recently. I heard about it in the capital, and the news on the Internet is overwhelming. What are your plans now?"

Wei Kang couldn't help being a little surprised, and replied: "I can only find a way to find a replacement."

Wang Guiqing said with concern: "Don't worry, I found a deputy director in charge of foreign trade of the Ministry of Commerce for you. He has already talked to Sakura Country on the phone. I believe we can negotiate and resolve this matter together."

Wei Kang was very surprised, this incident even alarmed his superiors.

He hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang. I really didn't expect that such a thing would shock the country. I am really ashamed."

"Hehe, Sanqing is not an ordinary company, but a well-deserved star in the medical industry, a banner of China's high-tech industry, and has made countless contributions to the country. When we encounter difficulties, we will naturally not stand by."

"Moreover, the heated discussions on the Internet will also have a certain impact on the relationship between the two countries. It is better to resolve it as soon as possible."

Wang Guiqing chuckled: "The strength of the Sakura Kingdom is still a little weaker, and the gap with the Eagle Kingdom is relatively large. We can put pressure on the negotiation and it should solve the problem."

If it is just that the two companies do not cooperate, it is not a big deal, but the historical relationship between the key two parties makes the issue more sensitive.

Now with China's national strength, it is safe to sit on the sidelines and look at the other side. The small country of cherry blossoms has not been taken seriously, and its top card has been treated unfairly, so it is natural to take a hard look at it.

Wei Kang's heart suddenly warmed up, and he said with a smile: "Then I can't thank you enough. Fortunately, Sanqing was on guard early in the morning and negotiated cooperation with Kewei in advance, so the impact was not too great."

Wang Guiqing immediately said: "It doesn't matter, no matter what, the suspension of supply must have caused certain losses to Sanqing. We must talk to Yinghuaguo about this. The competition between enterprises must be based on their products, and they must compete in an upright manner. What's the point of breaking the confession? This kind of crooked culture must not last long."

Wei Kang understood that this was to show the official support, so he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's outrageous. We will also suspend the supply of medicines to Sakura Country as a protest."

"However, this incident also sounded a wake-up call for Sanqing. You have to be hardworking yourself to forge iron. When capitalists encounter competition, they will use any means. The core technology must be localized and controlled in their own hands. That’s really reassuring.”

Speaking of this, he said with a lot of emotion: "Sanqing only has one capsule endoscope now, and it has been targeted in this way. If it wants to continue to enter the endoscope market, it will be the enemy of the world. It seems that it will be a It's a hard battle of technology and strength."

Wang Guiqing laughed and said: "It seems that Mr. Wei is getting more and more courageous as you get frustrated. If you can win the endoscope market and completely defeat foreign equipment manufacturers, that would be the best. The country is one with you in this respect. , will definitely fully support it.”

He asked curiously: "Does Mr. Wei have a plan now? Are you sure?"

Wei Kang said with a wry smile: "Sanqing is confident in mid-to-low-end endoscope products, but for high-end endoscopes, it still depends on the strength of CMOS chips. We will fully support Kewei in this regard, and hope that it can be supported. "

"This kind of core technology competition in the semiconductor field will not be won in a short period of time, nor can it be achieved overnight. It is still necessary to practice internal skills and move forward step by step."

"Sanqing is also a layman in the semiconductor industry, and his accumulation is not enough. I can't say it now."

Wang Guiqing agreed: "It's enough for Mr. Wei to have this kind of heart. The country has always spared no effort to support the semiconductor industry, so don't worry about it and do it boldly. It doesn't matter if it takes longer, we can afford it."

"I'm still very optimistic about Sanqing. At the beginning, Juwei was the same as Sanqing, and it still survived. Although the mobile phone business has not returned to its peak, other businesses are still doing well. It can be seen that as long as there is With strength, he can do well in any industry.”

Hearing these words, Wei Kang felt a sudden movement in his heart, and a bold idea popped up.

He said calmly: "In short, thank you, Mr. Wang, and the above for your support. We must persevere and become bigger and stronger in the medical device industry. We will never give up lightly."

"Good, good, good!" Wang Guiqing said a few good words, and his mood became brighter.

The two talked about other things before hanging up the phone.

Wei Kang immediately called Lu Tingfeng.

"Old Lu, how is your situation?"

Lu Tingfeng's hasty voice came over: "Mr. Wei, after working overtime, Kewei's mass production is almost done. Finding a foundry factory should not affect the shipment. Sanqing's goodwill has been saved."

"I also found two other CMOS chip suppliers and are negotiating some details. They are also very interested in the medical field, and it is estimated that they will be able to negotiate soon."

Wei Kang praised: "You did a good job on this point. To be on the safe side, you need to find more suppliers. You can't put all your eggs in one basket."

He immediately became serious and asked, "What do you think of Kewei? Can they make high-end CMOS chips?"

Lu Tingfeng said with some hesitation: "Their manufacturing ability is not bad, but the most important thing for high-end chips is design ability. In this regard, they still lack experience and technology. The gap with Sony is there, even if a large sum of money is spent , it will still be a bit difficult to catch up in a short time.”

"In terms of chip design, Sanqing is not specialized in semiconductors. It is really powerless. I am afraid that I can't help much. In terms of research and development, everything has to be done by themselves."

"So I'm looking for other suppliers. If Kewei fails, at least there are alternatives in hand. This can be regarded as the advantage of CMOS chips. There are many manufacturers of this, so I'm not afraid that I can't find a replacement, but Take more time..."

Wei Kang interrupted him and said, "If that's the case, then we'll find a professional."

"Professionals?" Lu Tingfeng didn't realize it.

Wei Kang continued: "You negotiate the business in hand as soon as possible, and then come back immediately, and we will visit customers together."

"Huh?" Lu Tingfeng couldn't help being taken aback, he was shocked.

He remembered that the boss was a standard otaku who stayed in the company every day and rarely went out of the door, let alone business trips. There was almost no such thing, and even the meetings were online video conferences.

Why did the sun come out from the west suddenly today, and you actually want to visit customers?
This must be a very important client, he thought to himself.

Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he heard Wei Kang say, "Okay, you can go about your business, and I'll talk about the specific situation when I come back."

He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, boss, I'll come back tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow."

******
Shenzhen City, Ju as the headquarters.

Yu Dong welcomed the two guests into the office with a smile on his face.

As Ju is the president of the terminal business, he has welcomed and sent many customers, but today is the first time to meet the legendary boss of Sanqing, Mr. Wei Kangwei.

After serving hot tea and exchanging greetings for a while, the three of them sat down on the sofa.

Yu Dong looked at Wei Kang silently, and couldn't help feeling secretly, this Mr. Wei is indeed incredibly young, and he has such a huge career at such an age, it is really a formidable young man.

"Mr. Yu, the main reason for this rash visit is that I want to talk to Juwei about something." Lu Tingfeng first said with a smile.

Yu Dong waved his hand, and said with an air of pride, "You are too polite. Sanqing and Juwei have been working together for so long and have always gotten along happily. Before that, we used Sanqing's ECG monitor and Almighty After the monitoring module, smart watches are a big seller in the world, making a lot of money."

"So I also admire Sanqing's strength. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Wei Kang said slowly: "Mr. Yu, you must have heard the news that Sony cut off the supply of CMOS chips. We are here this time to talk about chips."

Yu Dong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Wei Kang to come here to talk about this.

He immediately became serious, and said after deliberation: "This matter is quite big. I have indeed heard that Sony has done something unethical. As soon as the news came out, there were some criticisms within us. If it weren't for the fact that the mobile phone business is not so big now , I am afraid everyone will also worry about being treated the same as Sanqing."

At this point, he laughed: "So what exactly does Mr. Wei mean?"

Wei Kang said solemnly: "I want to cooperate with HiSilicon to design high-end CMOS chips together. I would also like to ask Mr. Yu to help pass it on, and I will do everything."

Yu Dong was shocked, and it took him a while to pat his thigh, and he laughed loudly: "Good Mr. Wei, I have heard a lot of your stories in the past, and seeing you today, you really deserve your reputation."

He nodded and agreed: "They are all people who are stuck in the neck. I feel sympathetic when I look at it. Let me help you tell Mr. Ren and Mr. He of Haisi. Let's make an appointment to discuss it in detail."

Wei Kang was overjoyed immediately: "That's great, thank you, Mr. Yu."

"Actually, we are now cooperating with Kewei, and we are willing to invest at least one billion yuan in research and development of high-end CMOS chips, and strive to localize them as soon as possible, but the strength of Kewei's chip design is still a bit weak."

"If you want to catch up with Sony as soon as possible, or even surpass it, you can only turn to professionals in chip design. When it comes to chip design, who in China can compare with HiSilicon."

"Hisilicon's chip design strength is undoubted, and it is also one of the best in the world, but now it is restricted and its capabilities cannot be fully utilized. I heard that Juwei has been spending money to support a team of thousands of people, so I came to him immediately. Come to seek cooperation, and hope that the three parties can work together to overcome the problem of CMOS chips as soon as possible."

Yu Dong nodded and said with a lot of emotion: "Mr. Wei, you are right. HiSilicon's chip business is indeed suffering a serious setback, but we are also trying to find a way to survive. After all, the company has invested 20 years in the chip research and development team. A group of top talents have been trained, and these people must not be lost, otherwise they will never go back."

"Because the research and development of 7nm, 5nm, and 3nm are limited, we can only develop chip business of other processes. There are already many HiSilicon chips used in other fields. For example, Kirin 990A has been used in cars and launched on the market, and TV chips are also available. It is used on the smart screen."

"In fact, we have not completely given up in the field of 5G chips. We are still continuing to develop and cooperate with domestic foundries."

"At present, the possibility of a breakthrough this year is not very high, but the progress is very fast. The company will also use 20% of its revenue to fully support the breakthrough of HiSilicon. I believe that there should be a chance to use domestically produced chips next year."

"As for CMOS chips, in fact, we have been cut off for a period of time before, and we have long wanted to replace them with domestic products, but there has been no strong manufacturer. Now Sanqing wants to support Kewei with a lot of money and enter the medical imaging business. Then we Naturally, I am also willing to contribute.”

"After all, CMOS high-end chips have been developed, and we can also use them in automobiles, mobile phones and other terminal services, and the cost will definitely be reduced a lot. You must know that Sony now gives us a high-end series of CMOS chips, which cost $100 a piece, which is too expensive. .”

Yu Dong held up a finger, shook his head and sighed: "It is my wish to be able to achieve a national production supply chain and reduce costs."

"However, this matter is too big. There must be many details to discuss. I can't make the decision alone. It's up to Mr. Ren's decision."

Wei Kang said with a smile: "As expected of Ju Wei, the sense of crisis is very strong. We all work together. If you have money, you can contribute. If you have a market, you must support domestic chips."

When the two talked about being out of stock and fighting against the Eagle Kingdom, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and there were simply endless topics to talk about.

However, Yu Dong didn't forget the business, and soon reported to Boss Ren to arrange the meeting between the two parties.

In the afternoon, Boss Ren, President He of Hisilicon, Yu Dong, Wei Kang and others had a long talk.

Sure enough, Boss Ren agreed to Wei Kang's request for cooperation without much hesitation.

The pain of breaking the core made HiSilicon into a dark moment. Without TSMC's foundry, Huaxin International's technology could not meet the requirements and could not enter the production line. HiSilicon's high-end chips were forced to stay on the drawing board.

Arguments such as layoffs, resignation, job hopping, and poaching have been hanging over the company in recent years, weighing heavily on the hearts of HiSilicon employees.

However, Juwei did not lay off staff and reorganize. It has been spending money to support a team of thousands of people. Although it is a heavy financial burden, it has been supported even at a loss.

After all, it took countless funds and time to finally push Huaxia's chip design industry to the top of the world, no matter how difficult it is, it has to be maintained.

As long as Juwei can afford it, this team can continue to research and develop to prepare for the future.

At present, HiSilicon has made some progress in superconducting quantum chip technology, chip stacking technology, etc., and still maintains world-class research and development capabilities. It will not regress and remain at the peak.

The zero market share is only temporary. As long as we work hard to find a new way out, we will be able to solve the chip bottleneck problem sooner or later.

The demand for CMOS chips brought by Sanqing is a new way out for HiSilicon.

The two sides negotiated quickly, and HiSilicon provided the people, Sanqing provided the money, and Kewei delivered the factory.

Of course, Weikang has now made up his mind to invest heavily in CMOS chips, so he will not be limited to just being a customer.

Kewei is a listed company, and so much money invested in it must be regarded as financing and holding shares.

How to calculate it will have to be discussed with Kewei.

After Zhao Xing learned of this, he was so excited that he could only wish for it, so he hastily agreed.

Because Kewei is not only short of money, but also lacks the high-end market.

The production and manufacturing of CMOS chips is an asset-heavy industry, and the investment in a production line can cost tens of billions.

With such a huge investment, if there is no huge order, at least the support of tens of millions of shipments, there will be no bottom pants.

Juwei and Sanqing are big customers with their own markets, so they naturally wish for them.

First get Sanqing's medical chips, and then get the high-end CMOS chips for mobile phones. Are you afraid that there will be no shipments of tens of millions?

A few days later, the three parties formally held talks in Kewei and signed an in-depth cooperation agreement.

As a result, this mighty CMOS chip counterattack finally kicked off.

　After taking antipyretics for a few days, although my brain is still a little dizzy, I feel better. I hope it will turn cloudy in two days. . .
