Two dishes in soup, Yulin Tofu, Silver Silk Bamboo Fungus, Polygonum Flower Candy, Pine Nut Mandarin Fish, Longjing Shrimp, Cream Crab Brew Orange, First-Class Fire Recipe …
The dishes were exquisite, as if they were delicacies that only existed in the fairyland, and were presented on the table.
All of a sudden, the antique room was filled with the aroma of dishes that made people swallow their saliva.
"Mr. Ye, look at these tableware." Brother Yan Zhao picked up a small teacup for drinking tea. Under the beautiful teacup, there were four signatures of [Fu Shou Kang Ning].
"These tableware are all antiques. Although they are not very valuable, when we eat, we just want to show off."
"That's you. I'm not picky." Ye Qing was not polite to Brother Yan Zhao. He picked up a piece of tempting Fire Recipe and put it in his mouth.
"Hmm …"
This bite was simply fragrant. The carefully marinated ham, after being perfectly cooked, did not have the saltiness of any cured meat, only a delicious and juicy long aftertaste.
"Come on, don't eat the dishes. Try this 20-year-old bottle of Maotai." Brother Yan Zhao took the opened white wine from the secretary's hand and prepared to fill Ye Qing's glass.
Ye Qing had already handed the glass over, and the phone just happened to ring.
Brother Yan Zhao stopped and was going to wait for Ye Qing to finish the call before pouring the wine. As a result, the phone in his pocket also rang.
"Hello ~"
"Boss, there is a problem with the factory's electronic components supply channel."
The caller was Qiu Yi, the company's purchasing manager. He said on the phone, "We just received a message from Germany's Fresenius Mechanical Semiconductor Company. They said that for some reason, their company can no longer provide us with the DM1550, the control chip for the mechanical hydraulic servo system.
This purchase order is 10,000 pieces. I called to ask them why they breached the contract. "
"They said that the company had just been acquired, and the new boss wanted to integrate their production process. They may not be able to supply this chip in the short term."
"They are willing to compensate according to the liquidated damages in the contract, but …"
Qiu Yi, the purchasing manager, said carefully, "It's just that the DM1550 chip they produce has always been a seller's market. The liquidated damages we signed in the contract are only 20% of the payment. Even if we compensate them, it will only be in the millions. "
"Did they say how long it would take to restore the supply of these chips?"
"They said it would take at least half a year."
"I see." Ye Qing frowned slightly. After hanging up the phone, he found that Brother Yan Zhao was also frowning.
After asking each other about the situation, Ye Qing discovered that Brother Yan Zhao was also because of Fresenius.
However, it wasn't that they were facing a shortage of chips. Instead, it was that the price of the sensor chip on a somatosensory remote control was going to increase.
Brother Yan Zhao said that Fresenius had just been acquired, and the new boss thought that the price of the original product was too low. He wanted to raise the price of the sensor chip that Brother Yan Zhao had purchased by 20%.
Brother Yan Zhao said with a wry smile, "It's not easy to do business these days. The price of raw materials has risen, and the price of the somatosensory remote control can't follow suit. Once the price increases, consumers will definitely turn around and buy other products. "
Ye Qing nodded and made a call back to the factory.
The Master Craftsman told Ye Qing that there were still four thousand DM1550 chips in stock.
The DM1550 chip was the core chip used to control the hydraulic servo system in the simulated mechanical arm. Whether it was the Mechanical Colossus Type I, the mechanical engineering chair, or the robot, they all needed this chip to distribute the power of the mechanical hydraulic system.
Without the DM1550 chip, Ye Qing really couldn't find a replacement for a while.
The mechanical hydraulic servo system itself was a relatively unpopular industrial product. Although there were several chip manufacturers at home and abroad that were producing similar chips. But comparing these chips, only the products of Fresenius Mechanical Semiconductor Company met Ye Qing's requirements.
As the saying goes, some people do the business of killing people, but no one does the business of losing money.
This kind of DM1550 chip, in the global consumer market, was only 30 to 40 million yuan a year. Fresenius alone was enough to produce all the chips the world needed.
How could there be other chip companies that would study the manufacturing technology of this chip, adjust the production line, and compete with Fresenius for a global market share of only 30 to 40 million yuan a year?
This 30 or 40 million share was still this year when the Monster Heavy Industry stepped in, and it was hard to put together.
There were only four thousand chips in stock. Monster Heavy Industries could digest this amount in half a month.
But …
Fresenius had been acquired and restructured. It would take half a year for it to be able to produce again. At that time, whether the new boss was willing to continue producing this kind of chip was still a question.
Because the market scale of the DM1550 chip was too small, its same series, DM850 and DM1250, were the mainstream of the market consumption.
"What's wrong, Mr. Ye? Can't you find a replacement chip for the time being?" Brother Yan Zhao saw that Ye Qing had been frowning and thinking, so he asked.
"It's hard to find. The DM1550 chip is a mechanical hydraulic servo chip developed by Germany's Fresenius for an exoskeleton device developed by the German side a few years ago."
"As you know, exoskeletons are purely toys to cheat people of their money before the energy breakthrough. That project went bankrupt without any accidents, and this chip was also pushed to the civilian market. "
Ye Qing and Brother Yan Zhao clinked glasses. "This kind of chip costs a little more than 200 yuan. It's not expensive, but then again, the Intel i3 processor is only a few hundred yuan. But other than them, who else can make it?"
"Then is there no way …" Brother Yan Zhao couldn't help but worry about Ye Qing.
The more complex a technological product was, the more it needed a global integrated supply system to cooperate. No company had the ability to produce all the parts themselves.
It was the case for a screw, and it was the case for a chip.
Among them, there were some spare parts that only a few companies or one company produced in the world.
"There's always a way. There's no second factory for the DM1550 chip, mainly because the market scale is too small. No one is willing to do research and development at a loss." Ye Qing's brows relaxed again, and he put on a smile. "Let's eat first. Let's not discuss work matters."
Without the DM1550 chip, Ye Qing would only feel troublesome, not hopeless.
The remaining chips were enough to support for half a month, and Ye Qing believed that the problem could be solved in less than half a month.
The meal was eaten until 1: 30 in the afternoon, and the chip thing did not disturb Ye Qing's appetite. The whole table of delicacies was wiped out by Ye Qing and Brother Yan Zhao.
The signing ceremony was held at 4: 30. Ye Qing said goodbye to Brother Yan Zhao and returned to the Peregrine Falcon with the Master Metal Expert. Using the office system in the cabin, he first contacted the company, and then contacted Liu Dongyu, the president of [Xin Chuang Future Co., Ltd.].
Xin Chuang Future's main industrial semiconductor chip was also a little famous in China. When the ionization purifier was produced, Ye Qing bought the electromagnetic induction component production line from him.
Ye Qing wanted to let Xin Chuang Future do the public relations for the replacement technology of the DM1550 chip.
The research and development funds were provided by Ye Qing. After the research and development, Ye Qing would sign a long-term stable order agreement with them.
Things like chips could be used as long as they could be used. Ye Qing didn't need to waste the monsters' precious time to conquer it.
"Fresenius?" At the mention of this, Liu Dongyu immediately gnashed his teeth. "This is my old opponent. I know them too well, better than I know my wife."
