But can I be compensated? If they compensate, the subsequent customers will definitely not back down and will definitely demand high compensation as well!
This opening cannot be opened.
Zheng Yishan's face was ugly. He was silent for a while, and then said: "Mr. Sigron, this incident is related to our entire line generation heavy industry and the entire South Pickle Country's shipbuilding industry. I hope you can understand us. As long as we get through this... In this crisis, we are willing to build another one for you for free in the future.”
This is the maximum tolerance he can make. Building one for free is always lower than three times the compensation. Moreover, as long as he convinces Siglon, the subsequent manufacturers can give up their claims. But they simply can't bear the high compensation.
"I'm sorry, from a personal perspective, I am very sympathetic to your situation, but from the company's perspective, I can only do business." Sigron said.
Are you kidding? I can earn three liquefied gas ships, why do I need one from you? You are not my son.
Siglon would certainly not accept it.
Zheng Yishan swallowed and said: "If you don't agree, then I will stay here without eating or drinking until you agree."
This is also a common method used by people in South Korea. If you don’t agree to sit in meditation, I will sit in meditation and go on a hunger strike until you agree!
This trick has been tried and tested by them. Whenever necessary, they will go to meditate, and in the end they have to agree to their own conditions. Some company employees have even been promoted quickly because of meditating, and have become company executives.
But, that’s in South Korea, not Europe.
Hearing Zheng Yishan's words, Sigron stood up: "Really? If you decide to do this, then I can only call the police. If you want to sit-in and go on a hunger strike, then go to prison."
Are you kidding? We have been planning for so long, just waiting to finally close the network. All customers are waiting for this compensation to make a lot of money, how could they give up? Even if you are really dead, as long as the company is here, you have to pay compensation.
Unless it is bankruptcy. However, how could Line Dai Heavy Industries go bankrupt so easily? Even if it does get to this point, assets must be liquidated, and your compensation must not be less.
Zheng Yishan was at a loss. He looked at Sigron's leaving figure and sighed.
What to do next?
"The Europeans will not accept any of our opinions. Their goal is our compensation. Damn it, what did they think at the beginning? In order to grab the order, they actually agreed to such conditions." Zheng Yishan was helpless.
“It seems that we can only go back and meditate.” Huang Youxian said: “I am willing to accompany you to meditate.”
Zheng Yishan nodded: "Okay, let's go back and sit in meditation. The government must pay us for this money!"
They will definitely not be able to pay compensation, so they can only ask the government for reimbursement, but the government will not easily fill this hole for them. There is no other way but to sit in meditation.
With this expectation, the two took the passenger plane and flew back. They knew that it was impossible to find other customers. No one could refuse the temptation of triple compensation. These people were all waiting for compensation.
Damn it, I lost such a big sum this time. After I crush the shipbuilding industry in the East and monopolize the LNG ships, I must earn it all back!
He was filled with hatred, but when the two got off the plane, they heard another piece of news that shocked them.
"What? The price of DDR memory sticks has plummeted, and the high investment of Line Generation Electronics has been wiped out? What's going on?" Zheng Yishan didn't understand these things, but he keenly felt that it was not simple. They wanted to ask the government to pay for them. , As a result, something happened to Line Generation Electronics, and a huge profit was needed!
“Chip factories in the East are suddenly operating at full capacity and producing memory modules at full speed. Now there is a surplus of memory modules in the international market. Even the price of high-end DDR2 memory modules has been reduced by half, and it is falling!”
It’s over, this is a series of attack plans! Zheng Yishan felt his eyes go dark, and then his body slowly fainted.
There was another person who almost fainted, but still did not faint and was still holding on.
Line generation electronics.
"Due to large-scale shipments from Dongfang, the price of ordinary 256 MB DDR memory sticks on the market has plummeted. It has dropped to 20 US dollars a piece, and looking at this situation, it is still possible to drop. It has already fallen below our cost. Price." Jin Dachuan's face was extremely ugly and his voice was trembling.
The price of memory sticks has always been high and low. When the product is updated, the price will fall even more horribly. Take SDR memory sticks as an example. In 1999, during the Bayan earthquake, 64 MB memory sticks They have all risen to more than one hundred US dollars. By 2001, due to the large-scale distribution of DDR memory modules, 128 MB SDR memory modules fell to less than ten US dollars. However, the price of DDR memory modules is not bad at all.
The memory production of Line Generation Electronics has long been transferred to DDR memory, so the profitability in the past two years has been about the same. But now, facing the huge plunge of DDR memory modules, they are completely dumbfounded.
“If we continue production, we are selling at a loss, and if we stop the production line, we will lose a lot of people.”
If memory sticks are no longer produced, what will their workers do? I will definitely be laid off.
In the past, the lower the price of memory sticks, the more they could produce, which allowed them to better force their competitors to death and gain a monopoly position. But now, it is their turn to be forced to death by others.
Dongfang has strong chip production scale and technology, and the cost is very low. Besides, it is no problem for them to export at low prices, because they still have processors to make money, but for line-generation electronics, they mainly rely on memory sticks. If things no longer make money, they will have nothing to do!
"It's all because of our blind investment. If we hadn't invested huge sums in new memory factories, we would have had enough funds to cope with this crisis. They are dumping us and we are dumping. Let's see who falls in the end!" one person said. : "Investing in a new factory was a stupid move. It was a trap dug for us by the Orientals. Unfortunately, we didn't have any vigilance and jumped straight into it!"
When the factory was first built, many people were opposed to it. However, Jin Dachuan made an impassioned speech and Zheng Shengying firmly supported it, and the matter became a success.
Now, the Easterners have shown their fangs!
"We have invested 5 billion in the chip factory in the United States and are about to start production now. On the market, DDR2 memory sticks have also begun to be distributed in large quantities. The price of 512 MB memory sticks has dropped to one hundred and fifty US dollars. Even if it is based on this Regarding the price, we have no profit to speak of, not to mention that the price is not the lowest. Orientals may lower the price of this kind of memory stick to fifty dollars."
“Have you protested with the Orientals?” Zheng Shengying spoke for the first time.
After all, DDR2 technology was authorized by the Orientals, and we had a cooperative relationship at that time. Who would have thought that the Orientals would come to such a point and protest, we must protest!
“Oriental people say that they are trying to promote the popularization of DDR2 memory sticks so that customers can use computers with cheap prices and advanced performance.”
This reason is lame, but it makes sense. After all, this kind of memory stick technology was invented by the Orientals. If they want to compete with the memory stick technology introduced by Intel and occupy the market, they need to distribute it in large quantities and lower the price, so that they can Won the market.
However, this is just a reason, their real reason is to kill the Line Generation Electronics! Modern electronics has invested five billion US dollars, and now it is about to be wasted. All this is a conspiracy of the Orientals!
Zheng Shengying clenched his fists.
Aren’t they afraid of monopoly? If line generation electronics are forced to death, what benefits do they have?
"Since the war has begun, we cannot compromise." Zheng Shengying made up his mind.
Can’t compromise? Why can't we compromise?
"We go to the government and ask the government to invest in us, just like before. As long as we can pour in a few billion dollars, we can lower the price of memory sticks on the market to a few dollars a piece. We will lose money, Orientals They will also lose money, which they cannot afford.”
“But, they are very rich.”
"It doesn't matter if they have money, will their government invest in them? Are they willing to burn their own money?" Zheng Shengying said: "When they can't afford the consumption, they will give up this price war with us. At that time, everything will Everything will get back on track!" She will never sit still and wait for death. Even though she is a woman, she is very bold when it comes to making decisions.
“Jin Dachuan, let’s go, let’s go to the government and ask the government to give us funding, just like before.”
“If it’s impossible, let’s go sit in for meditation.” Zheng Shengying said.
As a result, when she arrived there, she was surprised to find that Zheng Yishan was also there.
“Why are you here?” Her voice was cold.
“Ask for money.”
“How much do you want?”
“Six billion dollars.”
"You are delusional, why do you, a shipyard, need so much money? Your industry has never needed to burn money." Zheng Shengying said: "Our electronics industry is the one that needs to burn money. This is determined by the characteristics of our industry. Yes, when the market declines and production loses money, we need state subsidies."
"We want compensation." Zheng Yishan said: "Because we used the immature SCA liquid cargo fence system, we are about to face high compensation. We must get this money from the government, otherwise our shipbuilding industry will be over. "
compensation?
Zheng Shengying’s expression turned ugly: “How could you be so careless that you had to make all kinds of plans when signing the contract, and it could lead to a compensation of 6 billion?”
“Aren’t you also fooled by the Easterners?” Zheng Yishan said.
We laugh at every step at fifty steps, so there is nothing to laugh at each other.
“You were also fooled by Orientals?” Zheng Shengying’s face was serious. After hearing the whole process, Zheng Shengying said: “If we have more contact with each other, maybe we can see through such a serial scam.”
Over the past few years, they have been fighting among themselves and have less and less contact with each other.
“Yes.” Zheng Yishan was also very emotional.
"The electronics industry is of great significance to the country. Mingzhou Group has developed into a world-class powerful group because they have a strong chip industry." Zheng Shengying said: "So, we must not lose this time. If the country can give us If there is insufficient support, please give it to us first.”
Zheng Shengying’s attitude is sincere.
"Yes, Mingzhou Group has a strong chip industry, but the most powerful thing is the processor. Do we have it? We only have the production technology of memory sticks, which have little content." Zheng Yishan said: "On the contrary , Our shipbuilding industry must not suffer heavy losses. You should also know that if our navy wants to develop, it must have powerful warships. Currently, the navy is planning to build Aegis warships and aircraft carriers. If our shipbuilding industry is destroyed , how can we build these ships? Do we have to purchase them from the East? Therefore, if the funds provided by the government are not enough, they must be given priority to us. This is of great importance."
In Zheng Yishan’s eyes, of course the shipbuilding industry is the most important. Without the shipbuilding industry, there would be no strong navy. Without a strong navy, they would not have their current status. Needless to say?
“Electronics matter!”
“Shipbuilding is important!”
The two quarreled again because of this incident.
The idea of taking care of the overall situation and not engaging in division and internal strife have all been forgotten. Now, the two are arguing again for their own interests. Moreover, they don't think there is anything wrong. The industry they lead is the the most important!
“Huh, let the higher ups decide what’s important. Let’s just sit here quietly and see who the higher ups will save!”
"Okay, who's afraid of whom?" Zheng Yishan rolled his eyes at Zheng Shengying: "I'm a man, I won't be afraid. As for you, hum, I don't believe you can keep doing this. As a woman, there are always a few days every month. Uncomfortable, just in time, you just caught up in the past few days, right?"
Zheng Shengying's face turned dark: "You've gone too far! Do you even ask about such things?"
While the two were arguing, their assistants came in a hurry and told them a shocking news.
“An accidental fire occurred in a model Elantra. North America has set up a special investigation team to investigate the cause of the car fire.”
Line generation cars also have problems! Moreover, it is still in the North American market, which is a big trouble!
Both of them know how ruthless Mr. Qin from Dongfang is. Either he doesn't take action, or if he takes action, he will kill him!
Actually, we can’t blame them. If we should blame them, we should blame the problems of the first-generation cars themselves.
Last summer, the Elantra in the U.S. market had an overheating problem with the ABS module. Since the module had been severely damaged at that time, there was no way to determine the cause of the problem. They did not investigate with great fanfare to avoid harming their reputation. Then this year, There have been several accidental fire cases in the summer, which have attracted the attention of the media. The most recent incident has attracted the most attention because two Americans died!
The United States also has an automobile industry. Although it has an open attitude and is tolerant of foreign cars, local car companies will not be satisfied if they make too much money. In the past, the island country's cars had too much momentum and were beaten by the Americans. , now, line-generation cars occupy too much market share, and they will also be beaten.
It’s okay to just knock on it in normal times, but what about now?
All the profitable industries of the entire Line Generation Group may not be able to escape the black hands behind it! The government can provide funds to save one of them, but it cannot save them all.
Both of them were dumbfounded.
Too cruel, too cruel.
what to do? Fight back? How do they fight back? Dongfang is quite strong in both the electronics industry and the shipbuilding industry. As for the automobile industry, Mingzhou Group is taking the electric vehicle route, which is different from theirs!
Expose the conspiracy of the Orientals? There is a reasonable explanation for all this, and Easterners can distance themselves from it!
They began to feel uneasy, and they all felt that the sky was really going to fall this time. However, there is still a question in my mind, why does Mingzhou Group want to deal with them?
North America.
It takes a long time to investigate the defects of a car, but this time, the investigation by the relevant units was very easy, because they received an email from an employee of Line Dai Auto, and the content of the email was also very simple. , there is only one sentence: There is a problem with the O-ring seal used in the ABS module. It will age and lose its hardness over time. At the same time, these materials may be mixed into the brake fluid, causing the overheating problem of the ABS. , when the heat reaches a certain level, it will cause a fire!
According to this email, they quickly disassembled the vehicles of the same model and batch, and then saw that there was brake fluid on both sides of the O-ring on the ABS motor shaft!
The cause of the overheating problem was found. Substandard materials were used in first-generation cars, causing internal leakage of brake fluid in the hydraulic circuit!
Brake problems are a big deal! Faced with this irresponsible behavior of first-line cars, the Americans were not polite and immediately issued a billion-dollar fine. This was a good opportunity, how could we not make a fortune.
One billion U.S. dollars is not a lot, but it is a bad start. Once the quality of first-generation cars is questioned, subsequent sales will be greatly reduced, which will trigger a series of chain reactions. If there is external push, , that would be even more terrifying.
Many people in the Xiandai Group looked eastward with horror. Will the famous Zhang Zhongshuo program report this matter in a big way?
One day, two days, three days, it seems that Zhang Zhong didn’t pay attention to this?
East.
"Zhang Zhong said that although they are independent, they have been labeled by us. As long as Zhang Zhong reports, he will be connected with us." Qin Tao said: "We are still very loyal and will not kick them. ”
Zhao Ling laughed secretly from the side. What do you mean by not kicking the other party? We have already kicked countless people, right?
"Mr. Qin, I just received news that the capital has decided to stop cooperation with Line Dai Automobile. This factory is already vacant." Xu Zhengyang walked in and said.
