Chapter 202 Add to List
"Old Wang, what you said does make sense."
"The medical device industry has its own uniqueness. Coupled with the reputation accumulated by foreign brands for decades and hundreds of years, it is indeed difficult for us to match it for a while."
"But, I still want to try."
After thinking for a moment, Mo Ran decided to give it a try.
first.
The example given by Lao Wang is relatively professional and high-precision medical equipment, and the "color ultrasound machine" is obviously not a high-end equipment, and the medical risk problems are relatively low.
It is just right to use it as Nietzsche's first device to enter the medical device industry.
Secondly,
Moran is relatively confident about the quality of the "color ultrasound machine" provided by the system. Even if it is of good (B-level) quality, it is still at the first-tier level and there will definitely be no problem in normal use.
Three, and most importantly,
Now that Nietzsche no longer needs to support Yellow River Storage, he really has money in his account and can afford to lose money.
Seeing that Mo Ran was determined to get involved in the "color ultrasound machine", Wang Fugui couldn't say anything more, so he immediately agreed and started to collect relevant information and intelligence about the industry according to Mo Ran's instructions.
Soon, Lao Wang left, and Mo Ran's attention fell on the "Jinghong Series" memory card.
According to previous ideas, in order to complete the task, the three industries must each reach 5% market share. Among them, "high-end folding screen mobile phones" have already been ordered.
The "color ultrasound machine" and "AI model training platform" were also implemented to Lao Wang, and the last remaining item was the "Jinghong series TF memory card."
Mo Ran is very confident that the "Jinghong series TF memory card" will reach 5% of the market share within one year.
At present, the "Jinghong series" already has sufficient cost advantages by relying on the 32-layer "3D-NAND" particles independently produced by Huanghe Memory, occupying 3.6% of the market share.
Not to mention that "Yellow River Memory" has now mastered the 64-layer "3D-NAND" technology. Once the 64-layer yield rate increases to a level that can be mass-produced, the unit price per GB will undoubtedly be significantly reduced.
By then...
If the market share is really not enough, I can give Samsung a big blow and directly launch a lower-cost 64-layer "TF memory card" for price reduction and dumping. The market share can reach 5%.
Thinking of this, Mo Ran couldn't help but smile, and his thoughts couldn't help but fall on the 64-layer "3D-NAND" technology.
According to his understanding, Samsung and Micron currently only use 64-layer flash memory particle technology. The yield rate may be a little higher than that of Huanghe Memory, but the impact will not be significant.
Others such as Hynix, SanDisk, and Toshiba have only mastered 32-layer technology, and the production costs of their flash memory particles have been completely left behind by "Yellow River Storage".
That is to say,
In this "3D-NAND" business competition, the initiative has quietly returned to his hands.
Now,
Whether it’s Samsung, Micron, or even the business alliance between the five giants...
They can play for as long as they want, and as long as they want to reduce the price, they can stay with them for as long as they want.
Until they don’t want to play anymore and don’t want to lower prices, then it’s their turn to fight back.
Mo Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile in his eyes became stronger.
…
the other side.
Just when Mo Ran was confidently preparing to make the three industries bigger and stronger, the "memory chip" alliance headed by Samsung and Micron did encounter some troubles.
Since the last meeting of the five memory chip giants, the price of flash memory particles has been adjusted from 140 yuan to 125 yuan.
But then, Nietzsche counterattacked and directly reduced the prices of all "TF memory cards" and "solid state drives". The price of flash memory particles was reduced from 125 yuan to 110 yuan!
It is only 10% cheaper than the major memory chip giants!
The five giants all realized that "Yellow River Memory" had achieved a breakthrough in yield rate on 32-layer "flash particles", but at this time the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
The alliance headed by Samsung and Micron strongly demanded that prices continue to be reduced to limit the profits of "Yellow River Storage" and control its development speed. However, no one expected that the official "National Chip Industry Fund" of Yan State was suddenly established at this time, and "Yellow River Storage" We successfully received 5 billion support funds.
August 3rd.
In the conference room of the SanDisk headquarters in Shanghai, President Yan Guo of the five companies Samsung, Micron, SanDisk, Toshiba, and Hynix gathered together again, and the alliance meeting was held again.
"The situation has changed. I think everyone has seen that our competitor 'Yellow River Storage' has received 5 billion support funds from Yanguo's official chip fund."
"5 billion... means that our previous plan to slow down the development of 'flash memory particles' by lowering its price will come to nothing."
"After they get 5 billion, they will have sufficient funds for at least a year and there will be no problems."
The speaker was the president of Hynix, who had previously proposed accepting "Yellow River Storage".
Compared with Samsung and Micron, Hynix has a very high market share in Yanguo. Therefore, after the price reduction of domestic "flash memory particles", Hynix's profits immediately dropped sharply. Naturally, they least wanted to reduce prices for a long time.
"Not only Yanguo officials, but according to industry news, 'Yellow River Storage' has also reached a series of 'flash memory particle' purchase agreements with Huaji... It is said that the price is not less than 5 billion."
“Their support this time is far beyond unprecedented. As a result, we must admit that it is almost impossible to suppress and block the development of ‘Yellow River Storage’ by lowering the price of ‘flash particles’.”
"They are not short of money now."
The person speaking this time was Lee Moon-hyun, president of Samsung’s Yanguo District.
After saying that, he looked deeply at Porter, the president of SanDisk, who was sitting in the middle of the conference table.
The previous plan is obviously completely useless. The only way now is what President Porter said at the last meeting - "Intelligence personnel of the Ministry of Commerce have been eyeing the 'Yellow River Storage' and it will soon be included in the entity list!" "
This matter must be implemented as soon as possible!
Porter also noticed that everyone was looking at him. He also knew that the situation was urgent and the only way was to add it to the "entity list"!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and said:
"Everyone, I have been paying attention to this matter."
"Yesterday I contacted the intelligence officer of the Ministry of Commerce who contacted me last time. He said that the new issue of the 'Entity List' will be finalized soon, and the 'Yellow River Storage' will definitely appear on the list this time."
As soon as these words came out, even the wrinkled president of Hynix couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He knows very well the power of the "Entity List"!
So what if it's as strong as Hua Ji? Once it enters the entity list, all mobile phone businesses collapse instantly.
And if you have another breakthrough in "Yellow River Storage" technology, how can you produce without photoresist, developer, and dust-free workshop?
You know, all these supporting equipment must be imported!
and.
Once you are unable to purchase photolithography machines, your "Yellow River Storage" production capacity will only be so much! If you can't increase your production capacity, what use can you make? !
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this was undoubtedly great news.
At this moment, Porter continued:
"In addition, the intelligence personnel also revealed an additional piece of information to me this time."
“In addition to ‘Yellow River Storage’, Nietzsche Company, which has a close relationship with ‘Yellow River Storage’, will also be included in the ‘Entity List’ this time!”
"They will no longer be able to purchase Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips, which means their mobile phone business will collapse in an instant like Huaji!"
“Now, both ‘Yellow River Storage’ and ‘Nietzsche Brand’ will face catastrophe!”
Nietzsche brand?
After the words fell, everyone finally had a glimmer of light in their eyes this time.
After a while, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became more lively.
"What a delight!"
"call……"
…
And the other side.
As Porter said,
At the USA Department of Commerce, in a conference room, a discussion among more than ten people about which Chinese companies will be added to the "entity list" is also ongoing.
"No one has any objections to the companies and Yanguo universities discussed before, so we will continue to discuss the next Yanguo enterprise."
"The next project submitted by consultant Camilla Sam of Yanguo Enterprise is also a Yanguo enterprise that has been hotly discussed in our country recently - 'Yellow River Storage'."
"According to the information submitted by Sam, the Yanguo chip company 'Huanghe Memory' currently has the mass production capacity of 32-layer '3D-NAND' flash memory particles."
"I specifically consulted the top professors in the industry and the president of Micron, and their answers were all consistent. After 'Yellow River Memory' broke through the 32-layer '3D-NAND' technology, it obviously had a huge impact on our monopoly position in this industry. The impact has seriously threatened our interests."
"and……"
As he said this, the host of the meeting, Leszek Schmidt, paused slightly.
"Moreover, Sam mentioned again this time that 'Yellow River Storage' can produce 38nm NPU chips. Although 38nm is not an advanced process for us, in Yanguo, 38nm is already a first-tier technology. "
"The most important thing is that they have received support from Yan Guo's official 'Chip Industry Fund'."
"So I also think that 'Yellow River Storage' is no longer just a 'logic chip' or a 'memory chip' that will damage our interests, but they pose a threat to us in all aspects!"
"So... let me tell you my opinion first. I agree with Sam's proposal to include the 'Yellow River Storage' in this entity list."
The speaker was Leszek Schmidt, the Ministry of Commerce’s person in charge of Yanguo enterprises, who was responsible for formulating the list.
Sam on the side had already communicated with Schmidt. When he heard that Schmidt firmly supported him, he smiled slightly and couldn't help but feel high-spirited.
Actually,
The news from Bloomberg was indeed released intentionally by him.
He knew very well that if the news that "Yellow River Storage" could produce 32 layers was revealed in Yanguo, USA would not be able to see relevant reports, let alone influence.
but!
What Bloomberg broke is different. Domestic and even U.S. stocks will be affected, and the influence is completely different.
Thinking of this, he was quite happy and glanced at Mike Kevin sitting opposite.
After the last time "Yellow River Memory" announced the 38nm NPU chip, he proposed to add "Yellow River Memory" to the list, but was stopped by Mike in front of him.
After such a long time of gaining a deeper understanding of "Yellow River Storage", in addition to truly feeling the threat of "Yellow River Storage", he also secretly competed with Mike.
Now, he's going to win.
Sam glanced at Mike with a victorious attitude, and then suddenly stood up.
“Everyone, it’s not just ‘Yellow River Storage’, this time there is also the Nietzsche brand that is controlled by the same person as ‘Yellow River Storage’.”
"I also hope it can be included in the 'Entity List'."
