Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 165 Long-term supply to Huaxin International

Liang Mengfu showed a disapproving expression, obviously disagreeing with Jiang Shunyi's statement.

As mentioned earlier, Liang Mengfu is a typical science and engineering man and a technical executive. He doesn't talk much, and one could even say he is taciturn.

Unless Liang Mengfu is angered, he will not take the initiative to publicly sing a different tune at this time.

Wang Yuling asked, "Boss Jiang, did you get any news? Why are you so sure?"

Jiang Shunyi sat up straight: "I don't have any news, but Hu Jiangshan's behavior is not in line with common sense and is absolutely untrustworthy."

"How to say?"

Jiang Shunyi began to explain.

Hu Jiangshan is a member of the Hu family in Hong Kong Island and has never had a good reputation.

Jiang Shunyi could easily find out information like this by just asking around.

"Hu Jiangshan is basically an unemployed vagrant who does nothing all day and always causes trouble. He is notorious in Hong Kong Island. No one likes to deal with such a playboy."

"How could someone like this possibly get photoresist? You can't say he made it himself, can you?"

Wang Yuling said: "But the photoresist sample provided by Cui Zhenxue was indeed purchased from Mr. Hu."

Jiang Shunyi shook his head: "I don't know exactly where Hu Jiangshan got it from. It's definitely not legitimate. First, the price must be too high. Second, there is no way to guarantee a long-term supply, so it's unreliable."

To be honest, the issues raised by Jiang Shunyi are not without reason.

This is also what Liang Mengfu and Dong Hui are worried about.

Wang Yuling asked Liang Mengfu: "Mr. Liang, what do you think?"

Liang Mengfu thought for a moment and replied, "We have tested those photoresist samples and found a problem. These photoresists are obviously different from those we have used before."

"It's different? What's different?"

"Although the cost is similar, different manufacturers have different preparation methods, so the properties displayed after the cost will be slightly different."

Jiang Shunyi said calmly: "Don't think about it, these must be some defective products, far inferior to the photoresist we used before."

Liang Mengfu immediately said: "Not really. The quality of Hu Jiangshan's photoresist sample not only meets the standards, but also has several properties that are far superior to the photoresists we used before."

"Ok?"

Jiang Shunyi was stunned, obviously not knowing this.

"Mr. Liang, are you sure?"

"I am very sure that after we completed the whole process of testing, we came to this conclusion, which is definitely accurate. The photoresist provided by Hu Jiangshan is indeed very powerful. I even think that it will not cause any major problems in the manufacturing of 7-nanometer and 5-nanometer, and it will only slightly affect the yield."

Dong Hui smiled and said, "That's good enough. As long as it's sufficient, let's not talk about 7-nanometer or 5-nanometer for now. Let's solve the 14-nanometer manufacturing process first."

Jiang Shunyi still disagreed and said, "Don't be too happy too soon, the other party will definitely ask for a high price!"

Dong Hui asked Wang Yuling: "Director Wang, have you contacted Hu Jiangshan? Has he raised the price?"

Wang Yuling shook her head: "No, but the price Mr. Hu gave to President Cui was not high, almost the same price. I guess the price he gave to Huaxin would not be too high either."

Jiang Shunyi shook his head. "Again, unless Hu Jiangshan can produce these things himself, the supply will definitely not be stable. Cui Zhenxue's company is not a big one, so there is no pressure on supply. But Huaxin International is different. We are a big company, and the amount of chemical materials used is huge. We can't be compared with them."

The other three were speechless for a moment.

Jiang Shunyi is a very narrow-minded person and his words are quite unpleasant. As long as Liang Mengfu supports something, he will definitely oppose it.

Wang Yuling secretly complained in her heart, how could the company do well with the current state of the top management.

But she had no choice, as this was all caused by the board of directors of Huaxin International.

But then again, what Jiang Shunyi said is not without reason, at least the logic is sound.

The National Semiconductor Association had investigated Hu Jiangshan long before this time.

Huayao had previously encountered a chip shortage, and many people were extremely anxious. The leaders of the Semiconductor Association were even more anxious than Huayao’s people.

You must know that once Huayao collapses, the entire Chinese semiconductor industry will suffer a severe blow, and it will be difficult to recover even within ten years.

Later, the Semiconductor Association learned that someone could provide chips to Huayao, so it investigated and found that this person was Hu Jiangshan from Hong Kong Island.

To be honest, no one in the Semiconductor Association was optimistic about such cooperation at that time, mainly because of Hu Jiangshan.

How could a second-generation rich man from Hong Kong, a dandy boy, or even a prodigal son, take on such an important task?
There were even leaders of the Semiconductor Association who specifically called Huayao's top management to ask them to be careful and not fall into the trap.

Of course, Huayao is experienced and a veteran. If you want to cheat them, it would be impossible without some hard power.

The result was unexpected. The cooperation between Huayao and Hu Jiangshan was very smooth. Hu Jiangshan not only provided a large number of Kirin 990 chips to ensure that Huayao MTE20 would have unlimited supply to the market in a short period of time, but also recently manufactured a new generation of Kirin 990+ for Huayao.

No one knows how Hu Jiangshan did it, but Hu Jiangshan is indeed very capable.

More importantly, Hu Jiangshan did not ask for an exorbitant price. He did not charge a high price for the Huayao chips, but sold them at an extremely affordable price.

You have to know that the difficulties Huayao is facing are unprecedented. If there really is a channel to provide them with chips, even if they can't make a fortune, it is only natural to ask for twice the price.

It can be seen that Hu Jiangshan is definitely not a prodigal son and a good-for-nothing as rumored by the outside world.

On the contrary, Hu Jiangshan's behavior makes it hard not to think that he is still a sentimental person.

So Wang Yuling brought people here to mediate and, if possible, let Huaxin International and Hu Jiangshan establish a cooperative relationship to solve the current problems encountered in chip process research and development.

Huaxin International is China's leading semiconductor manufacturing company and still needs protection and help.

Wang Yuling could understand Jiang Shunyi’s distrust of Hu Jiangshan, but this attitude was indeed quite excessive.

I just hope Hu Jiangshan can be more powerful and not let Jiang Shunyi come true, that would be embarrassing.

Just then, someone came in and announced a visitor.

Hu Jiangshan has arrived.

A moment later, two more people appeared in the conference room. They were Hu Jiangshan and Chen Xiuli.

As a middleman, Wang Yuling introduced Liang Mengfu and Jiang Shunyi to Hu Jiangshan, both of whom were famous figures.

Of course, the National Semiconductor Association has a better reputation.

Chen Xiu Li didn't expect to encounter such a big scene right at the beginning, and she was a little nervous.

Several people were looking at Hu Jiangshan and were all very surprised.

Hu Jiangshan's image was different from what they had imagined before. He was not slick at all, and he did not look like a dandy boy.

A real handsome guy.

Wang Yuling said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, it's quite troublesome for you to come here from Hong Kong Island."

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's not a big deal, it will only take two or three hours to get there, just think of it as a tour of Shanghai."

Hu Jiangshan's few words made Wang Yuling very fond of him.

This young man is quite polite, no wonder Huayao can cooperate with him so smoothly.

Liang Mengfu was very surprised. He could feel that Hu Jiangshan had some scholarly temperament and was very close to a scientific researcher, but in theory he was not a technician. After the greetings, everyone started to talk about business.

Wang Yuling said, "Mr. Hu, let's confirm again that you can provide chemicals such as photoresist and hydrogen chloride, right?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Yes, I can provide it."

"Can the quantity meet the requirement? Mr. Hu, Huaxin International is a large manufacturer and the demand will be huge."

As she spoke, Wang Yuling looked at Liang Mengfu.

Liang Mengfu said, "Mr. Hu, we are making a breakthrough in the 14-nanometer process technology. Currently, one production line is in trial operation. If it is stable, the usage will indeed increase, about three to five times that of Juxing Technology. If there are two production lines, it will double again."

Liang Mengfu’s statement is very precise and easy to understand.

Everyone observed Hu Jiangshan's reaction again.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not show any surprise or embarrassment. Instead, he was calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "That's easy to say. I will try my best to ensure the supply."

Jiang Shunyi said calmly: "I want to know where you got the goods from. The control in China is very strict now. Many middlemen are out of stock. Even if they do have it, the price is very high."

Hu Jiangshan said: "Mr. Jiang, I have my own way. I cannot disclose this matter. Just treat it as a business secret."

"Can't disclose? Then I doubt the source of your goods."

"Mr. Jiang, you may have doubts, but I have no right to interfere. If we establish a cooperative relationship, it is just about paying money and delivering goods. It is not complicated."

"you……"

Jiang Shunyi didn't expect Hu Jiangshan to be so tough. He originally thought that the other party would be guilty.

Because these goods may be of illegal origin and may be smuggled goods.

This way, we can also take control of the kid from the Hu family.

Wang Yuling looked at Hu Jiangshan for several times. She didn't expect that this handsome guy, although young, was very experienced when talking about things. He said what he should say and never revealed a word of what he shouldn't say.

Wang Yuling also wanted to know where Hu Jiangshan got the photoresist, but since it was someone else's trade secret, it was not easy for her to ask.

Moreover, China will not trace the source of things like chips and photoresists. After all, the supply shortage was caused by abnormal means used by the other side of the ocean.

This is not China's fault.

Jiang Shunyi certainly didn't give up, and asked again: "What about the price? We want the same price as Juxing Technology, is that okay?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "No problem."

Jiang Shunyi widened his eyes with an incredible expression.

No problem? No problem?
Juxing Technology, also known as Cui Zhenxue's semiconductor company, is medium-sized.

Cui Zhenxue bought photoresist from Hu Jiangshan, but he bought it at a cheap price.

Hu Jiangshan could sell it to Huaxin International at the same price? Why not take the opportunity to make a fortune?
Damn it! This is totally inhumane!

But looking at Hu Jiangshan's calm look, he seemed not to care about these at all.

Liang Mengfu asked: "Mr. Hu, can you guarantee that the goods you supply, such as photoresist, are the same as the samples you sent before?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Of course I can guarantee it, this is the most basic!"

For Liang Mengfu, as long as the semiconductor materials are supplied and the performance is not compromised, everything else is not a problem.

So what if Hu Jiangshan's goods were smuggled in? Liang Mengfu didn't care at all.

Now only Jiang Shunyi was still somewhat reluctant, but he couldn't find any reason to object.

In this way, Hu Jiangshan and Huaxin International signed a cooperation agreement immediately.

This is a long-term supply agreement.

According to this agreement, Hu Jiangshan needs to supply a batch of photoresist to Huaxin International within one month, and if there is no problem with the quality, he will continue to supply.

In terms of price, Huaxin International still released some goodwill in order to show its sincerity.

As long as Hu Jiangshan can provide a stable supply, the price will be raised according to the supply volume.

Hu Jiangshan didn't care, but it was always a good thing to make more money.

Besides, Huaxin International is not short of money.

After signing the contract, Dong Hui said, "Mr. Hu, it's already noon, let's go eat."

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "No, I have something else to do, so I have to leave first. Let's get together again when we have time."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect Hu Jiangshan to be so pragmatic.

Is this still a rich second generation? Why doesn't he behave like a rich second generation at all?
Hu Jiangshan was not joking and insisted on leaving. No one could stop him, so they had to send Hu Jiangshan and Chen Xiuli to the door.

Just as Hu Jiangshan was about to get in the car and leave, Wang Yuling called him to stop.

"Mr. Hu, let's chat for a while."

Hu Jiangshan nodded.

Wang Yuling took Hu Jiangshan aside and said, "Mr. Hu, thank you for taking this trip this time."

Hu Jiangshan grinned and said, "This is not a big deal. Director Wang, don't take it to heart."

Wang Yuling said, "At the end of this month, our Semiconductor Association will hold a summit and invite some big names in the semiconductor industry at home and abroad to attend the discussion. I wonder if you have time?"

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "You want to invite me too? I'm not a big shot in the semiconductor industry. It's useless for me to go."

"Don't be so modest. You can help Huayao solve the chip supply problem and help Huaxin International solve the photoresist supply problem. Isn't this a real industry leader?"

"This one……"

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and felt that what the other party said made sense.

Wang Yuling said, "That's settled. I'll send you an invitation later. You must go."

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and decided that there was really nothing to do at the end of the month, so he nodded in agreement.

"Director Wang, you'd better not call me Mr. Hu. You should be a few years older than me. Just call me Xiao Hu."

Wang Yuling was happy: "Okay, it's also easy to call Xiao Hu."

Hu Jiangshan chatted with Wang Yuling for a few more words, then drove away with Chen Xiuli.

At this time, Liang Mengfu and Dong Yao were still standing at the door, but Jiang Shunyi had long disappeared.

Dong Hui asked Liang Mengfu: "Do you think Hu Jiangshan can really supply the goods?"

Liang Mengfu thought for a moment and said, "I hope so."

At this point in time, getting a large amount of high-quality photoresist is not as difficult as climbing Mount Everest, but it is not easy either.
