Chapter 2889 Powerlessness (Part 2)

It was also snowing outside the window, but the room was as warm as spring. President Li, who went to bed early and got up early, and had just exercised, called his father and boss very respectfully. The first thing he asked was, "Have you had dinner?"

The other person replied that he had just eaten some black truffle and kelp oxtail soup.

The son was very happy after hearing this and said that his father should take good care of his health when he was not at home - like all wealthy families, he hoped that the second generation who would take over would always behave filially and follow the instructions of his peers. It seems outdated, but the etiquette that this generation is used to.

Then he said what he wanted to ask for advice on, "Based on Feng Yiping's new trends today, do we need to adjust our original strategy?"

There was his familiar answer, "What do you think?"

This is a common scene for their father and son. For President Li, this is a test and examination for himself.

"I think it is certain that Feng Yiping's words and deeds are completely aimed at us," President Li said. "Although there is the possibility of pretentiousness, there is also the possibility that he really wants to integrate those six companies."

He described in detail what he was thinking.

As he narrated, it was quiet on the other side.

His father, who was very talkative, used to hold marathon meetings. The longest meeting was held in Frankfurt, Germany for 68 days.

And his father used to be very authoritarian, and meetings would last for hours at a time. However, during the meeting, only he could go to the bathroom, and the others could only hold it in... During that period, many people in the company were developed. Senior executives have the habit of wearing adult diapers to meetings.

But in addition to speaking, his father is also an excellent listener. That's because on the first day he was confirmed as the successor and served as vice president, the founder of the company, President Li's grandfather, made a special trip to give Elder Li a gift. Two words for dad, "listen".

Therefore, even though the other side was silent and sounded as if they were not listening at all, President Li did not dare to be careless at all, and finally expressed his thoughts, "Our most important purpose now is to ensure our position in the storage market. , to protect our achievements over the years, so I think it is necessary to eliminate the possibility that Feng Yiping successfully integrated the six companies and quickly obtained the memory chip technology,"

"...Considering the negative consequences if he successfully acquires Qimonda, I think the original strategy may need to be adjusted,"

"It is best for us to acquire Qimonda. Even if we pay some price for this, I think it should be worth it,"

"After acquiring Qimonda, accepting their effective assets, including patents and customers, is also a good way to consolidate our advantages,"

In the process of talking to his father, President Li has always been very careful. Even if it is a conclusion that he insists on, he still uses a tone of possibility and asking for advice, and has always avoided using "I think" with a certain meaning of being the master of the situation. tone of voice.

On the one hand, he has to come up with insights that satisfy his dad. On the other hand, he also has to always say that all his thoughts don't matter. The key is to see your dad... This sometimes makes him feel, I am really divided.

But when this situation becomes the norm, in many cases, it is still perfect.

It was the same this time. The other side quickly said, "Since you think this is the right thing to do, then go ahead and do it."

The current situation is that the six manufacturers Feng Yiping met today, together account for 30% of the entire industry's production capacity. What they lack is just technology, and Qimonda happens to have a full set of technologies.

And among the six manufacturers, some have previously cooperated with Qimonda, so they are very familiar with the relevant processes, such as Nanya, Huaya, and Winbond.

Considering that Qimonda itself has a market share of more than 10%, this means that as long as Feng Yiping successfully acquires Qimonda, he will soon be able to make a big difference in the storage market. When the other three companies are also familiar with Qimonda's After mastering the technology and craftsmanship, he can quickly occupy more than 40% of the market share.

That means that their efforts in the storage field over the years have been suddenly overturned, and Samsung has once again changed from a leader to a catcher.

And this time, it will be difficult to catch up and succeed again.

Because his opponent has very sufficient funds, is backed by one of the largest markets in the world, has a full set of technologies, and has very skilled production experience. He can further expand the scale at any time without worrying about the reaction he is best at. cyclical investment…

Therefore, the son's view is right. In order to eliminate such a possibility, even if they have to pay a considerable price, their best choice is to simply acquire Qimonda.

He also knew what his son was worried about. "After the matter is completed, it doesn't matter whether we transfer Qimonda's research institute in China to Jiangtian or not."

Yes, Feng Yiping guessed correctly, Jiang Tian was the one he found to restrain Feng Yiping.

Their original arrangement was that under the same conditions, Jiangtian offered a higher purchase price than Samsung, which made Qimonda's management hesitate again. Samsung, which felt that it had been "fooled", could take advantage of the opportunity. quit.

If Feng Yiping intervenes again at this time, then they will assist Jiang Tian in mobilizing more resources, mainly official power, to suppress Feng Yiping's intentions.

They were convinced that for Feng Yiping, Jiang Tian would be a tougher competitor than Samsung. They were also convinced that Jiang Tian would eventually make Feng Yiping give up completely.

They are well aware of China's unwillingness in some areas. Memory chips are very easy to be promoted to the national level. For a long time before, it originally had the significance of measuring the scientific and technological strength of countries and regions.

Therefore, they are very sure that the relevant parties in China will definitely be very enthusiastic about state-owned capital getting involved in this area, and such enthusiasm is the most effective force to deter Feng Yiping. They have studied that Feng Yiping's consistent attitude towards similar disputes before was to retreat immediately.

Then in the end, Qimonda found that Jiangtian, their favorite company, did not have the funds to acquire it... and by then, even if Qimonda wanted to contact Feng Yiping and them again, Infineon should have been unable to tolerate it... So it had no choice but to close down.

It was Jiangtian Group, the trust they mobilized, that finally completed the acquisition of Qimonda under the promotion of relevant forces, which was not a big deal for them.

In the past two years, many Chinese companies have acquired European companies, but very few have been successfully integrated.

Even if Jiang Tian successfully integrated Qimonda, they still didn't care. They had a deep understanding of the competitiveness of companies like Jiang Tian. They were familiar with the history of China's semiconductor development and knew that if Jiang Tian and his team could perform well, the world's semiconductor landscape would not be what it is now.

Moreover, even if the integration was successful, Qimonda would only have a market share of more than 10%. Given the state-owned nature of Jiang Tian Group, it was obviously impossible for them to integrate the six companies that Feng Yiping met with today, and even those six companies would be very difficult to do OEM for them...

It should be said that within just a few hours after learning that Feng Yiping wanted to acquire Qimonda, they quickly came up with a comprehensive plan. This plan took into account all possibilities and was very long-term.

If this plan was implemented smoothly, there would have been only two possibilities. The most perfect possibility was that no one could acquire Qimonda, especially if Feng Yiping failed to acquire it, Qimonda would go bankrupt, the storage market would recover, and Samsung would have the last laugh.

The less perfect possibility is that Jiang Tian really completed the acquisition of Qimonda, but whether they completed or failed to complete the integration of Qimonda, Samsung's leadership position can still be guaranteed in the end, and it is still unshakable, and they still have the last laugh.

However, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. They encountered Feng Yiping, who did not play by the rules. He was also a guy who attacked on multiple fronts. Today's meeting with the representatives of the six manufacturers made them feel the chill on the back of their necks.

Their best choice now is to spend a lot of money to directly acquire Qimonda.

"Yes, President! I'm sorry for this result!" President Li consciously returned to the state of superiors and subordinates in the company.

"You don't need to feel sorry. You have to remember that all those arrangements that seemed ineffective in the end actually played an irreplaceable role in the whole process and were equally indispensable."

That is to say, although it seems that Jiang Tian's move, which took him a lot of effort, seems redundant now, it is actually not redundant at all...

There is no way. In front of his son, I have to save face. Should I admit that I am not as good as Feng Yiping?

What the father and son didn't expect was that even their plans, which seemed to be very good now, would be unnecessary...
