v3 Chapter 1407： Chip opportunity is here

"Chairman, are you looking for me?"

This morning, Huo Jianning came to Xia Yu's office.

"Well, let go of what you are doing first, and follow me to the Tiangong Group."

Xia Yu said, got up and picked up the suit hanging behind him and put it on.

Huo Jianning was a little surprised, but immediately responded, "Okay."

"By the way, the "Fengyun Daily" newspaper is on the desktop. Take it with you and take a look on the road."

"Ok."

Just after Huo Jianning picked up the newspaper, Xia Yu finished putting it on, and walked towards the door.

Huo Jianning can only stuff the newspaper into his bag, and follow along.

After 　　 came downstairs, the convoy was ready, and Xia Yu took Huo Jianning into the explosion-proof car in the middle.

Then, the convoy started and drove towards the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park.

At this time, Huo Jianning finally had time, opened the briefcase, and took out the "Fengyun Daily" he had brought.

"Fengyun Daily" publishes global events outside of Hong Kong.

After browsing for a while, his gaze was fixed on the second page.

I saw the title there that read "U.S. Department of Commerce recognized that island country read-only memory dumped the United States."

February 17, 1986, the U.S. Department of Commerce...

After reading the entire report carefully, a series of thoughts surfaced in Huo Jianning's mind.

At this time, Xia Yu smiled and asked, "Jianning, what do you think?"

Huo Jianning came back to his senses and replied after thinking for a moment: "Chairman, I don't know much about the global chip market, but I think that now that the US Department of Commerce has made a determination, there will definitely be a series of sanctions."

"The island country must still want to struggle, but there should be no way to succeed."

"It's just that if we want to enter this market, will the United States also impose sanctions on us in the future?"

Xia Yu smiled: "This is hard to tell."

"At least it should not be possible before the return of Xiangjiang, but maybe after the return."

"However, the chip market is more complicated and very important. We have to do this."

"But for long-term consideration, you have to study the doorways inside."

"In any case, the sanctions of an island country tells us that technology and market are both important, but the overall strength of a country is more important."

"You are right."

Huo Jianning nodded deeply, and subconsciously glanced to the north, which was the direction of the mainland.

After 　　, Xia Yu didn't speak any more, leaving Huo Jianning to think about the deep meaning of his words alone.

ten minutes later.

The 　　 motorcade finally drove into the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park.

came to the Tiangong Group area.

Tiangong Group occupies the largest place in the entire Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park.

This can be seen at a glance in the bird's-eye view of the industrial park.

In the entire Tiangong Group, the largest area of ​​land is undoubtedly Tiangong Auto Parts Group.

In the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, Tiangong Automobile Group has not only a million-capacity automobile manufacturing base, and the core Tiangong Automobile R&D center, but also many subsidiaries.

For example, Tiangong Motorcycle Manufacturing Company, Indonesia Automobile Manufacturing Company, Renfu Automobile Trading Co., Ltd., Lamborghini, Lotus Motors, McLaren, Aston Martin, Federal-Mogul, Tiangong Driving School, etc.

It's just that most of these companies are based in foreign countries.

The general manager of Tiangong Group is still Chen Caijun. He has been in charge for the past few years, and he has lived up to Xia Yu's expectations.

Whether it is R&D or production and sales, the Group operates very well in all fields.

After the on-site visit, Xia Yu had a clear grasp of the situation of the Tiangong Automobile Group.

Chen Caijun upholds Xia Yu's philosophy. In the past few years where the company developed, he did not launch many new models. Instead, he focused his efforts on optimizing the original models, upgrading and upgrading, and trying his best to establish a brand and build a reputation.

Regardless of whether it is a Fengshen sports car, or a Shenyu model, a glory model, or a suv, the main cart models on the market are now the second generation.

It’s just that the first-generation models have not been completely discontinued, but the production capacity has been severely reduced.

In terms of the price of cars, because of the development of the global economy in recent years, the currency has naturally depreciated, and the price of cars has also risen.

For example, the second-generation luxury sedan, the price of the naked car has reached US$24,800, which is US$1,900 higher than the previous one.

Of course, Chen Caijun is stable in business, but he is not lacking in enterprising spirit, and he has a long-term vision.

Therefore, it also launched a new model, the Morningstar cx model, which is a sedan that makes up for the low-end market of Tiangong Automobile Group.

The naked car is priced at 10,800 US dollars, which is five to six thousand US dollars cheaper than the medium-sized Honor generation.

This car was officially launched on the market in August 1985.

To date, global sales have reached 121,000.

This sales volume is not amazing, but at least it can be regarded as a successful stand in the market. In the future, it can be promoted with proper marketing.

Lamborghini, Lotus, McLaren, Aston Martin and other luxury car brands that are not in Hong Kong, the four brands combined have global sales of less than 10,000 units last year.

However, it can also be seen from the financial report that these luxury car brands are actually advancing steadily, but because of positioning problems, the growth rate is relatively slow.

But in any case, these luxury car brands are backed by the Tiangong Automobile Group's global sales network, and have long been out of the quagmire.

There is no doubt that there is a difference between a backing and no backing.

Finally, Xia Yu specially stayed in the Tiangong Automobile R&D Center for a long time.

Before leaving the Tiangong Automobile Group, Xia Yu stopped Chen Caijun and gave him a series of instructions.

For example, the Tiangong Automobile production base in Xiangjiang has a fixed production capacity of one million vehicles. In the future, if it wants to expand, it will invest and build factories around the world.

As for new models, we can be bolder in the next few years, enrich the company's models, enhance comprehensive competitiveness, and balance development risks.

After leaving Tiangong Automobile Group, Xia Yu went to the nearest Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group.

This group is a full-field home appliance manufacturing company with a wide range of home appliances.

It is only different from the Tiangong Automobile Group in that the product research and development center of the Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group is in the industrial park, and one third of the production capacity is here.

The remaining two-thirds of the production capacity is in Pengcheng on the mainland.

I am quite satisfied with the development status of the Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group, but from the group’s market, it can be seen that the main market is in Asia and its competitiveness outside Asia is not strong.

Therefore, Xia Yu’s instruction to Colin Heist is to increase the pace of international expansion on the premise of further developing the Asian market, especially the mainland market.

Tiangong Electric Appliance Manufacturing Group's turnover last year was 15.424 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to US$2.528 billion.

This business data cannot enter the top five in Asia, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

after that.

Xia Yu went to Tiangong Machinery Group and Tiangong Electronics Group again.

In the end, he went to the Tiangong Technology Laboratory.

"Good chairman, good Dong Huo."

"Dr. Lu, I have worked hard all these years."

"It didn't work hard and didn't make much contribution to the group. I really feel ashamed."

Lu Chao's expression was a little gloomy, and he lowered his head reproachfully.

Xia Yu was taken aback, then smiled and shook his head.

"Dr. Lu, you did not disappoint me. The laboratory has more than two thousand patents. This is an outstanding achievement."

"Maybe It's just that the loss last year was too big."

Lu Chao was in a better mood, but he still looked awkward.

In his view, the group provided TG Tech Lab with a total of 3.758 billion Hong Kong dollars in research and development funds last year, and the number of 914 patents developed is still relatively small.

I'm so sorry for the group's support and the chairman's trust.

"Dr. Lu, let's go, go in and talk."

Xia Yu didn't say much, patted his arm, and walked inside.

"Dr. Lu, I have read the laboratory's development report last year. The above content can be skipped directly today. I don't know much about the technical aspects. Today you will mainly talk to me about two aspects."

"The first aspect is the overall situation of patent conversion."

"The second aspect is the difficulties currently encountered by the laboratory."

"Ok."

"Chairman, because there are thirty-four laboratories in the entire laboratory, I don't know the whole situation, or should I summon the person in charge of each laboratory and report to you in the form of a meeting?"

Xia Yu paused, glanced at him, smiled and nodded: "Yes, then go directly to the meeting room."

Ps: Regarding the chip, I, a layman, have to check the information. It’s not easy to check the situation decades ago.
