"What? That's our Qian Kun Palmtop!!!" Boss Jia clutched his chest and looked very uncomfortable. "Then we can only switch to AMD's chips!"
"I'm afraid AMD's chips won't work either!" The head of the purchasing department lowered his head even more. "AMD's production line is even more limited, and their architecture is different from our Qian Kun Palmtop design. If we want to use AMD's chips, it will take a few months to adjust the data of the new batch of palmtops!"
"That's not a big deal. The real problem is that we can't buy AMD's chips now. After a few companies found out about Intel, they immediately signed a two-year contract with AMD and bought all of AMD's chip production for the next two years. We can't buy AMD's chips anymore!" The head of the purchasing department felt like he was going crazy.
"It's all because of those lunatics in the secretariat. Why did they suppress my purchasing plan!" The head of the purchasing department cursed madly in his heart. He wanted to jump out now and let the chairman know how unreliable his secretariat was.
However, when he remembered that the secretariat was managed by Zhu Qiushui, the head of the purchasing department decisively shut his mouth. The secretariat was not something he had the right to criticize.
"Sigh!" Fortunately, Boss Jia did not seem to have the intention to pursue the matter of the inventory. Instead, he found another topic. "I remember Intel only said that their production line was burned. They didn't say that their inventory was sold out. We can buy some of their inventory!"
"I've already asked them. They said that there wasn't much high-end chip inventory left. Moreover, other manufacturers placed orders earlier than us. The remaining inventory needs to satisfy other manufacturers. They can't provide us with any inventory!" The head of the purchasing department felt a wave of despair. He had already said that the purchase list should be submitted early. Now that he wanted the inventory, how could they sell it to him?
"Then what if we are willing to raise the price appropriately?" Boss Jia sighed and asked.
"Now everyone is raising the price!" The head of the purchasing department said helplessly. "Now manufacturers all over the world are afraid that there won't be enough chips, so they are raising the price by more than 30%. We can't compete with them if they want to snatch the inventory!"
"Raising the price by 30%? These manufacturers are not making money? "Boss Jia was shocked!
"No, they are making a killing!" The head of the purchasing department muttered. "All the CPU prices in the market have skyrocketed by almost 100%. They can still make 70% more profit. They are not losing money!"
"Interesting! Interesting! " What the purchasing department head didn't expect was that our Boss Jia couldn't help but laugh.
"Go back to work!" With this sentence, the purchasing director left Boss Jia's office in a daze.
What do you mean by continue working? Don't you have to think of a way to get Intel's inventory and maintain the stability of Daqian's main product production lines? Did the chairman really think that 100,000 tablets could last for more than a week?
Although the purchasing department head couldn't figure out why Boss Jia didn't care about Intel's outage at all and let him go so easily, when he saw Boss Jia's calm expression, he suddenly felt a little more confident, as if there was a solution to the problem.
"Could it be that this chip will fall from the sky?" The purchasing head muttered to himself.
"Intel is still using the same formula. It's either a fire or an explosion!" Boss Jia rubbed his nose. In his previous life, Intel was nicknamed the Toothpaste Factory. It meant that the function of their chips was like squeezing toothpaste. Every year, they squeezed out a little bit of toothpaste to provide the chip's performance.
This made Intel's other nickname a little less obvious.
This nickname was "Explosion Factory". Every year, Intel's chip factory would have a big or small explosion, which would severely affect the chip's production capacity. This would cause the chip supply chain to tighten, and the chip's price would increase accordingly.
Fortunately, with the rise of AMD, the security of Intel's factories was finally strengthened, and it was not easy for explosions to happen.
However, an incident like this time, where the entire high-end chip production line exploded and the production couldn't be restored within three years, happened very rarely. This didn't seem like something an ordinary person would do.
So, this should be an accident.
"This Intel is too careless. If they want to put on a show, they should go all the way. Why didn't they burn the entire high-end and mid-end production line? Did they think that we don't know that their mid-end OEM had been handed over to TSMC and Foxconn?" After the purchasing director left, Boss Jia said to himself angrily.
"Intel is just putting on a show for the world to see. They can't bear to burn two factories in one go. Furthermore, whether it's TSMC or Foxconn, they are Wanwan's industries. Intel doesn't have the ability to let them burn their own factories!" A figure walked out of the office lounge. This person was none other than the head butler of the secretariat, and also Boss Jia's first wife, Zhu Qiushui.
"That's not necessarily true. As long as the people of the United States say so, Wanwan won't dare to disobey!" Boss Jia laughed.
"However, I didn't expect Intel to come up with the excuse of burning their own factories to stop supplying us. I can't believe they did it!" Zhu Qiushui said in disbelief, "However, this excuse is too good. No one would think that they burned their own factories to stop supplying us and block our business."
"It's really hard to believe. I didn't expect them to find such a reason. The cost of this reason is too high. It's not worth it. It's not in line with the United States!" Boss Jia shook his head repeatedly. He seemed to be very disdainful of Intel's reason.
"Then, do you have a better reason?" Zhu Qiushui asked curiously.
"Yes!" Boss Jia nodded.
"What reason?"
"The Daqian Group threatens the national security of the United States. Intel has decided to ban all sales of chips to the Daqian Group from the perspective of global security!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"This reason is enough!!!" Zhu Qiushui's eyes widened.
"Yes, this reason is enough!" Boss Jia nodded. "Otherwise? Otherwise, I, Jia Yapeng, discriminates against black people, or opposes homosexuality? Enslaving women, and not building a transgender toilet in the company? "
"What's a transgender toilet?" Zhu Qiushui asked, puzzled. This term sounded too fresh.
"It means that we haven't designed a toilet that allows men and women to pee in the same room at the same time!" Boss Jia explained.
"…"
