Chapter 2850 Test

In South Korea, the Samsung group is in trouble, but Elpida, Micron, and the group of manufacturers across the strait do not have as powerful an intelligence collection system as Samsung. At this time, they still don’t know what their dreams are. About to break.

And even the people at Samsung didn't know at this time that the CEO of Qimonda, who should have died but has not yet died, was in the same dilemma as them.

This is probably like what an old song says, standing on both ends of the scale is equally embarrassing.

For Mr. Luo at this time, what he hopes most is that the words he once said will disappear into thin air.

If his attitude had been positive and sincere from the beginning, unlike the way he had just behaved, where he obviously had no way out and had little hope of even selling himself, but still had to act like he was selling for a price, perhaps, Feng Once leveled, they wouldn't have this attitude now.

Qimonda has indeed introduced additive technology in production, and in September last year it used additive technology to achieve mass production and maintained a very high yield.

Fundamentally speaking, memory is a general-purpose product. The success or failure of memory manufacturers mainly depends on cost control. Superposition, a more mainstream technology at present, is obviously more conducive to reducing production costs.

Mistakes, mistakes, they should not try to use this to increase their own value from the beginning. This actually aroused their rebellious psychology.

You should wait to point this out gently until you actually start negotiating the price.

Mr. Luo believed that Feng Yiping and others would still value the advantages of the groove type. He also saw that Feng Yiping probably wanted to build a product chain of key components around smartphones.

In Feng Yiping's usual style, his plan for the future must be that both the front and back processes will be placed in mainland China. The cost of labor and land will offset the scale brought by Samsung and others due to common processes. For the cost, that's more than enough.

Mr. Luo felt quite guilty about his strategy at this time.

Looking at Mr. Luo, who looked a little unhappy, things that Feng Yiping and Cummings had been confused about before were now clear.

The visits from Peter Bauer and Mr. Luo were all planned.

The focus of Peter Bauer's visit should be "Qimonda must be your best choice,"

The others were just private goods that he couldn't help but carry.

It is completely understandable for a person who has been hindered by Qimonda for a long time to say a few words from his heart after meeting the potential successor.

The focus of Mr. Luo's visit is "why Qimonda is your best choice."

Therefore, the visit between the two of them can be said to be coordinated and integrated, and well planned.

However, Mr. Luo didn't control it well, and his airs were a little too much for a while.

Speaking of which, this is not surprising. Mr. Luo, who has a good image, although he is not impatient and gentle in speech, in fact, he is the kind of person who, to put it politely, likes to make big noises and boast about his achievements. To the biggest, the fault is the smallest, or it simply has nothing to do with oneself.

What Cohen added to Feng Yiping is that in addition to requesting more than 300 million euros in loans from the German and Portuguese governments, he also requested an additional 300 million euros in operating funds. This is a very specific example.

The reason why Feng Yiping had such an impression of him also came from many of his other remarks. For example, when the results of the IPO were not as good as expected, he said that Qimonda was actually very popular with investors, but it had suffered from the global It’s just a challenge caused by the poor stock market environment.

In 2007, it was just a capital increase in Chinese factories according to the original plan, but he told the media that it was Qimonda's investment against the market trend, and that capital increase was only a mere US$20 million. For a semiconductor company, such a small investment was , I’m really embarrassed to bring it up on the table.

Let’s just say that a photolithography machine costs US$100 million.

In the middle of last year, Qimonda's factory in China had obviously cut production by half, but he told the outside world, "No, we are fine!"

After the financial report for the third quarter of last year was announced, with a total loss of nearly 1.5 billion euros in the three quarters, he repeatedly stated that the company would make adjustments in terms of eliminating less productive OEM production capacity, improving production processes, and streamlining human resources. Subsequently, Starting in the fourth quarter, the company will reduce its break-even point at a rate of 45 million euros per quarter...and then lose nearly 500 million euros in the fourth quarter.

A few days ago, when Cummins and others did not intervene and Qimonda was about to declare bankruptcy, he did not mention the word bankruptcy when being interviewed by reporters. What he said was, "We will return the company to a solid foundation." ——Look, how awesome it is!

You know, Qimonda's stock price has fallen by more than 90% last year, and now, it has dropped by 97%. How can it still have a solid foundation?

To be honest, this person's "speaking" level is really comparable to that of Saddam's Foreign Minister Sahaf during the Iraq War.

Especially compared with Peter Bauer, who had been here before and didn't know how to conceal his faults, Feng Yiping really didn't like his style.

It's okay to talk loudly to a person in charge of a company, and say it's no problem. For example, Lao Ma is famous for his loudmouth.

The key to the problem is that some of those things you brag about will eventually come true.

If you never keep your word, it will naturally affect your personal and company image.

But considering some future arrangements, Feng Yiping felt that he should be given a new opportunity. "Mr. Luo, frankly speaking, we all understand that the reason why Qimonda has come to where it is today is largely due to the market,"

"The rules of the memory industry are investment, overcapacity, oversupply, manufacturers withdraw, supply is insufficient, and then invest again. In the current situation, one company will definitely withdraw. The reason why it is Qimonda is mainly because Qimonda did not get government support at the critical moment."

Mr. Luo immediately saw Feng Yiping, who said such words, like seeing a relative and a confidant, just like Peter Bauer just now. "Mr. Feng, I agree with your point of view very much. The reason why other memory manufacturers can still support it now is because they have received support from the government behind them."

Feng Yiping looked to the side and smiled. It was indeed the case.

This is certainly not the answer he expected.

If Mr. Luo could say at this time, even if it was polite, that there were reasons for this result, then his impression of him would also change.

As far as he knows, at the end of June last year, Qimonda still had 630 million euros in cash, which made it more confident than Hynix and Elpida in this money-burning competition.

But they had no restraint, which led to their death before those two companies.

In the third year of the industry's money-burning competition, and in the face of the financial crisis, the company's leaders still didn't tighten their cash. It would be unfair for such a company not to die.

Mr. Luo was keenly aware that he seemed to have said something wrong again, but I didn't say anything wrong. I just agreed with your point of view.

Feng Yiping calmed down and decided to ask him another question, "Mr. Luo, for the outside world, the success or failure of the memory industry depends on the competition of courage and financial resources."

Mr. Luo nodded slightly when he heard this, and he obviously agreed with it. Fortunately, he didn't rush to interrupt.

"So, from the perspective of an industry insider, do you think there are any other reasons behind this?"

"What are the key factors behind the decline of Japanese manufacturers, the rise of Korean manufacturers, and Qimonda's current situation that we should pay special attention to?"

Mr. Luo also thought about it for a while, "Cost control is the top priority of the memory industry. The advantages of memory companies have shifted from the United States to Japan and from Japan to South Korea. Cost factors are the decisive factor."

That's right, but this is also a reason known to the outside world. It's not surprising, and it's not what Feng Yiping expects.

Seeing Feng Yiping still looking at him, Mr. Luo added, "This also foreshadows that the mainland will definitely be the ultimate winner in the memory market in the future..."

"Thank you," Feng Yiping stood up, "I'll have to trouble you for the next work,"

Mr. Luo also said, "I won't bother you. Have a good rest. See you in the evening,"

Feng Yiping smiled. Regardless of whether Mr. Luo gave up on himself or not, he felt that there was no need to save him.

Now we should find a new person in charge for Qimonda after the merger.
