Wang Liwu didn’t hesitate and directly nad the company they intended to "operate" on.
Indeed!
It was Penguin Car!
First off, Penguin Car’s demand for new energy vehicle chips was quite large, so cutting off 200,000 units from them was sothing they would just have to "endure." They couldn’t possibly cancel the entire order just because they were short 200,000 chips, could they?
If Penguin Car were to cancel the entire order, they wouldn’t be able to find another chip manufacturer capable of providing the supply, since only Guoxing Technology Group had such a large-scale production capability.
When it ca to other dostic chip manufacturers, not to ntion their technology was a notch below that of Guoxing Technology Group, their production capacity was not on the sa level either.
"Is it possible to touch the order from Penguin Car, which we’ve finally secured as a major deal, a major deal?"
Mr. Liu asked again.
"Discuss it with Penguin Car. We’re in the midst of a chip shortage crisis, and we hold the initiative,"
Wang Liwu replied calmly.
Due to the severe supply and demand situation in the on-site semiconductor chip market, Guoxing Technology Group, as the largest dostic chip manufacturer, held considerable power.
"I say we can produce the chips for you, and then you’ll be able to get them. If I say we’re raising prices, you’ll have to pay more. Of course, all this is predicated on not causing chaos."
The 200,000 chips required for new energy vehicles was indeed a significant number for Penguin Car, but compared to their even greater chip demand, Wang Liwu firmly believed that Penguin Car wouldn’t turn hostile over these 200,000 units.
They wouldn’t dare!
"What do you all think?"
Mr. Liu imdiately looked at the other directors in the boardroom and then turned his gaze to the directors in the video conference, asking.
At first, no one responded.
After all, Penguin Car was part of Penguin Group, a colossal internet company that was once the most valuable in Asia. This move was undeniably going to slightly offend Penguin Car.
But now!
Wang Liwu had already made it clear that by slightly offending Penguin Car, they could gain a "future."
Although no one knew when this future would arrive, as businesspeople, failing to foresee and prepare for the future certainly spelled failure.
"Well, I think we can do it!"
Finally, one of the directors nodded in agreent.
Then another director nodded.
In the end, the directors in the video conference all nodded too.
Seeing this, Wang Liwu finally allowed a smile to erge on his face, it seed he had managed to handle the situation successfully.
"Alright, then it’s decided."
After the eting, Wang Liwu imdiately called Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University on behalf of Guoxing Technology Group.
Since his video call with Wang Liwu, Ding Yue had been anxiously awaiting news.
Now, Wang Liwu had finally called again.
"Hello, Mr. Wang. Do we have a result?"
Ding Yue inquired as soon as he answered the phone.
"Hello, Principal Ding, the result is in. After our board’s resolution, we have decided to accept the Feiyue Group’s order for 200,000 units of new energy vehicle chips and we will deliver them on ti,"
Wang Liwu said, smiling.
"Really? Hahaha, that’s truly fantastic. Thank you, Mr. Wang, and thank you for the assistance of Guoxing Technology Group,"
Ding Yue responded with a joyful laugh.
It was a thank-you that ca from the bottom of his heart.
After all, if Guoxing Technology Group had been unable to provide those 200,000 new energy vehicle chips, then the launch and presales plans for the Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicle could have been shelved.
"No need to thank , Principal Ding. I hope we can cooperate even more pleasantly in the future,"
Wang Liwu said.
"Of course, no problem."
Ding Yue was soone whose word was as good as gold.
Once he achieved significant breakthroughs at Mist City Arts and Science University in semiconductor material technology and in the manufacture of lithography machines at the 32 nanoter and 14 nanoter levels, he could choose to collaborate with Guoxing Technology Group.
After all, Guoxing Technology Group had a solid foundation. For the 32-nanoter-level lithography machines, he could cooperate with Guoxing Technology Group when the ti ca.
For the 14 nanoter, or even the 7 nanoter level lithography machines, it would be better to keep part of the production under his own control, while he could collaborate with Guoxing Technology Group for the rest.
As for the more advanced 7-nanoter and 5-nanoter level lithography machine process technology, if achieved, he would definitely have to handle it himself.
"Then, Mr. Wang, we’ll get in touch later."
After chatting with Wang Liwu for quite a while, Ding Yue ended the call.
The issue with the Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicle chips had finally been resolved.
This matter still needed Ding Yue to step in.
Otherwise, given the initial attitude of Guoxing Technology Group, if An Yujia continued to communicate with them, it was likely that this issue would not have been resolved.
Sure enough, not long after, An Yujia ca to Ding Yue’s office.
"Principal Ding, have you finished negotiating with Guoxing Technology Group?" An Yujia asked directly upon arrival.
Because the announcent of the Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicle press conference was to be scheduled according to the progress of this matter, to decide whether to confirm the press conference for Zhao Kai at the end of this month.
After all, if the chip issue couldn’t be resolved, then the production and manufacturing of the Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicles would be delayed, and it was uncertain how long the delay would be, especially since the chip shortage crisis wasn’t going to be resolved quickly. It could continue for a year or two, or maybe even longer.
In fact, as long as the foreign powers kept a stranglehold on Xia Country by blocking semiconductor technology, and there were no significant breakthroughs in dostic semiconductor technology, the chip shortage crisis would only worsen over ti.
"Will our Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicle press conference be held as scheduled, or should we delay it?" An Yujia continued to ask.
"The problem has been resolved. We will hold the press conference as scheduled," Ding Yue replied with a calm smile to An Yujia.
Upon hearing this, An Yujia’s face lit up with a smile, "That’s great! Then I’ll arrange our new energy vehicle press conference according to the original plan."
At this point, the most important matter for Feiyue Group was undoubtedly the press conference for the Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicle.
However, when the issue of the new energy vehicle chips for Feiyue Group was resolved, there were those who rejoiced and those who were worried.
Naturally, those rejoicing were Ding Yue and everyone at Mist City Arts and Science University.
anwhile, at Penguin Car’s headquarters in Shencheng.
Kuang Xuejin, the boss of Penguin Car, received a call that almost made him explode in anger.
"200,000 new energy vehicle chips, just like that, they’re reducing our order?"
Bang!
Kuang Xuejin slamd the desk, furious.
The company’s manager, Dong Yan, hastily tried to console him, "Mr. Kuang, perhaps the Guoxing Technology Group is facing so difficulties. With the huge chip shortage crisis we’re facing both nationally and globally, our order being cut by 200,000 new energy vehicle chips isn’t that significant of an impact."
Although Dong Yan was aware this would affect the rollout of Penguin Auto Group’s new energy vehicles, there was no helping it.
Who could have predicted the chip shortage crisis? Securing a sufficient amount of chips wasn’t sothing they could simply decide on—even having the money didn’t guarantee access to those chips.
Several dostic traditional car manufacturers couldn’t get their hands on chips in the short term and, despite having plenty of funds, could do nothing but continually delay the delivery dates of their new energy vehicles.
"I know!"
Kuang Xuejin was still visibly angry, "But Guoxing Technology Group handling business like this, isn’t that showing a lack of respect for us at Penguin Car, saying they’ll cut the order just like that!"
"There’s nothing we can do. Guoxing Technology Group is compensating us for the breach of contract as per the agreent, so we can’t really say much," Dong Yan said helplessly.
Ding-dong!
Just as Dong Yan’s words fell, Kuang Xuejin suddenly received another call...
