Chapter 489 The Third Sister Who Cut Her Own Flesh! Regretful CMA
"The whole process will take at least 6 months, and may take longer if the damage is severe."
And all of this depends on... whether Asmail has enough spare parts? If not, production may have to be halted.”
Just as Li Zairong was silent, Liu Deyin on the other end of the phone told him more bad news.
"6 months!"
Upon hearing this, Lee Jae-yong angrily threw his phone aside.
"Although these three production lines are not the main production lines, they have been shut down for six months..."
What will happen to our customers? What will happen to our orders?
But at this moment, the person in charge of the wafer fab was also sweating profusely.
Not three!
A couple of days ago, because of good performance, they upgraded two more 22nm production lines... and not these old ones, but brand new production lines.
There is even a brand new production line that is just about to go into production!
"The most urgent task now is to arrest Zhou Mingyuan."
Liu Deyin's voice came through the phone again...
But Lee Jae-yong sighed deeply! Catch them? What are we supposed to catch them with?
The other party never went abroad, and the technology transfer was done under an agreement. One of the disclaimers in the agreement was that there was no way to guarantee that it would be compatible with all production lines.
Even if you file a lawsuit, you can't find a reason to file a lawsuit; it's like swallowing a bitter pill in silence.
But just as Lee Jae-young was trying to hide the news, some rumors began to circulate outside.
After all, with five production lines shut down at each company, totaling ten lines, this is no small matter.
Soon, the global semiconductor industry learned that problems had arisen at Sansan's Suwon plant and even at TSMC, with a significant reduction in 22nm advanced production capacity and indefinite delays in delivery cycles.
Customers who had placed orders with SanSang panicked instantly, especially major clients like Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Broadcom. SanSang's yield rate was already poor, and now they've reduced production...
It would be a lie to say that you have no complaints!
Just then, Transsion's wafer fab issued another official announcement.
The announcement stated that, in order to give back to global customers, and with the official commencement of mass production of Line 3 of Phase II of the wafer fab and the start of construction of Factory 3, a special offer of great benefits is being made to global customers.
For 14~28nm full-process foundry services, prices have been reduced by 15%, capacity has doubled, and delivery cycles have been shortened by 30%.
We welcome new and existing clients from around the world to discuss cooperation!
The price reduction and capacity expansion coincided perfectly with the production capacity failures of the other two companies. If there is no inside information involved, then it is definitely fake.
However, although Sansun and TSMC suffered losses, they did drive down the price of Huaxing!
It's still commendable!
Qualcomm, which had been gradually becoming somewhat subservient, immediately sent a team to negotiate with Transsion, directly transferring 35% of its production capacity. MediaTek also transferred a small portion as a trial...
……
Yangcheng Transsion Headquarters.
"Boss, how was my performance?"
"You acted very well!"
Shen Fei, Yuan Guoqing, Li Jiahui, Zhou Mingyuan, and Huang Tianya were actually reviewing the situation in their office.
As for why Huang Tianya is here... well, he's just trying to make a quick buck again!
"This means each of them will lose at least tens of billions of dollars."
Customer losses during a six-month capacity expansion period will take at least a year to recover from.
"They were greedy, so they deserved this fate!"
"Right now, the price difference between us and TSMC is only 5%. I heard that old man Morris Chang is already preparing to make a trip to the mainland!"
"We're currently in a tug-of-war with Kyoto."
"I don't think the higher-ups will give them a very friendly look. Before we had the technology, they all acted like big shots, but now that we have it... they've all come up to us again."
"What do you call this?... This is called belated affection!"
"I didn't expect you to be so literary, Old Li. But he wasn't sentimental; he just knew he was going to die."
Shen Fei nodded, suddenly remembering the grand promise Zhang Zhongmou had made in his previous life:
He transferred all of TSMC's advanced production capacity to mainland China, after all, they are one family, and Morris Chang also has a red heart.
Unfortunately, even by 2040, he still hadn't gotten to eat that pie.
"Mingyuan has made a great contribution this time, a first-class merit! You will receive a bonus of 500 million yuan first, and the rest will be given to you as your year-end bonus."
"It's all thanks to President Shen's excellent planning; I was just following the plan."
And they're too greedy!
Zhou Mingyuan quickly waved his hand.
Just then, Li Qing knocked on the door and came in, handing over a newly released investigation report.
"Boss, there's some progress on DaMi's drone project."
I heard that Lei Jun personally visited DJI, but the founding team of DJI unanimously decided to refuse to receive him!
"Ha ha!"
"Haha, it seems they don't want to become the next Huang Zhang!"
When Lei Jun (CEO of Xiaomi) first visited, he poached the entire R&D team from them, and now he's trying to do the same... but he failed.
Shen Fei also laughed. It can only be said that history always repeats itself. Even though the rice drone project was brought forward a while, Wang Tao made the same decision.
"However, Mr. Shen... although Lei Jun failed, Liu De's progress is going quite smoothly."
We've already prototyped a drone, poached R&D teams from several small companies, and put them together to work hard on algorithms.
They've already started building hype around the price: "Affordable drones, breaking DJI's monopoly."
"Lei Jun is still the same as ever, always looking for shortcuts that prioritize cost-effectiveness..."
"It's alright, the drone industry is more complex than he thinks!"
…………
Meanwhile, news of SanSang and TSMC being targeted also reached the conference room at CMA headquarters in England.
Edward, the supervisor in charge of the antitrust investigation into Transsion, panicked. He didn't know why, despite having American support and a bunch of lackeys, he couldn't beat Transsion.
In particular, neither of the two plans by Sansheng and TSMC succeeded, and instead they suffered significant losses at the hands of the other side!
This is essentially a joint action by everyone...
To put it bluntly, CMA is the knife that's at the forefront.
Now that the person holding the knife has cut himself, how can the knife be lowered further?
It seems the so-called Hawkeye Alliance is going to turn out to be another farce.
What really gave him the creeps was the trouble in England itself.
Since Transsion's English subsidiary was seized, the Korean and British sides have not engaged in any lobbying activities other than normal legal communication.
They just transferred another batch of security personnel from other branches!
This group of security personnel were all drawn from Transsion's base in Africa. They were all tall and strong, wearing black uniforms, and took a walk around the CMA building every day.
And over the past two weeks, the area I've been walking around has been continuously expanding.
Furthermore, the previous team has increased from one team to five teams, but they still insist on not blocking the gate or making noise. They simply walk back and forth along the sidewalk, one trip after another!
The nearby residents and office workers had never seen anything like this before.
