Chapter 1057 High-tech Samsung comes with bad intentions
"Samsung Chemical of South Korea, we just announced that we will build a factory here and they started to come here to cause trouble. These grandsons are specifically trying to fight against us!"
Looking at the Korean logo, the Fujian boss also looked unhappy.
Ji Dongqing stared at everything on the island quietly, and he could see that the Koreans were serious this time.
From the equipment to the staff, almost all are Koreans. Although there are many Lao Meng, most of them are laborers...
Everyone around the world knows how huge Samsung is. Someone once made a vivid metaphor: Koreans only do four things a day, eat, sleep and work with Samsung!
Samsung has taken care of all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation in South Korea.
With the help of the Olympic Games, the Koreans successfully promoted Samsung to the world. Although the Samsung empire has been injected with a large amount of foreign capital during the 2008 economic crisis, it still cannot change its Korean attributes.
Recently, there are more and more Samsung mobile phones on the Bangladeshi market. Coupled with Ji Dongqing's production reduction, the sales of Samsung mobile phones have begun to improve.
Ji Dongqing compared Samsung's mobile phone with his own, and found that the performance of the other's phone was average, especially in terms of battery, which was big, soft, and weak!
The No. 1 phone can play games for at least three hours on battery power, while the Samsung phone runs out of power in less than an hour.
The advantage of a large screen is now only one thing left in the industry. Excellent designs such as bezel-less mobile phones and sapphire screens are gradually saying goodbye to Samsung mobile phones.
Ji Dongqing has used a Samsung mobile phone from a consumer's perspective, and the experience was very bad.
According to Ji Dongqing's expectation, Samsung mobile phones will be gradually eliminated from the market. As for Samsung Chemical, it is just a traditional migration here.
As a result, as the two of them drank more and more, Ji Dongqing realized that he was really thinking simple.
This time Samsung is not only negotiating with locals about the construction of mobile phone factories, but also the manufacturing of various Samsung equipment.
Based on the original Korean Industrial Park, the local government is expected to grant the other party one thousand acres of land, and the Koreans are still negotiating with the local government.
In addition, Samsung's refrigerator and electric fan industries are gradually moving here!
What makes Ji Dongqing even more angry is that the Qualcomm chip order for his mobile phone next month has been cancelled.
"what happened?"
When Ji Dongqing returned to the company, the first bad news he heard was this, which made Ji Dongqing couldn't help but be surprised.
"Dongqing, that's it! The Qualcomm chips we purchase for our mobile phones have always been OEMed by Samsung, and the price is much cheaper than those produced by TSMC! Originally, there was a Samsung agent in Bangladesh, and the Qualcomm chips we purchased were always directly supplied by Samsung.
!When we discussed the order with Qualcomm again this time, Samsung made it clear that it would not place an order with us because we have a competitive relationship with the other party, so they refused to execute our order!"
"There used to be more than a dozen chip manufacturers in the world that were OEMs for Qualcomm, but now there are only a few left! The strongest ones are TSMC and Samsung. Even Qualcomm doesn't dare to offend these two factories easily."
"Although we can purchase Qualcomm chips from offline channels, the price will be much higher! In addition, Zou Hua from Qiyuan Semiconductor gave me a list! There are several automotive function chips that need to be found somewhere to manufacture!
Both Samsung and TSMC are the best choices. TSMC is more expensive and Samsung is much cheaper, so..."
AVIC spoke very tactfully, fearing that it would hurt Ji Dongqing's self-esteem.
After all, Ji Dongqing also has a chip factory, but this chip is not even the slightest bit different from a mobile phone chip! Zou Hua's team has no problem designing chips, but they just don't know if mobile phone chips are good at it!
And there was more bad news. Someone from Xingus sent someone a list of companies that Samsung had recently filed to settle in South Korea's New Enterprise Industrial Park. Xingus focused on marking a few companies, especially those that produce batteries.
Samsung Battery, part of Samsung Chemical that produces high-end coatings!
Several companies that Samsung has come to Bangladesh are now recruiting people in a wide range of areas.
In the past two years, Ji Dongqing used the company's high benefits to attract many Bangladeshi elites and industrial workers back to India. Because this year the workers were working to death, Ji Dongqing cut the company's benefits. This group of people had already criticized them, but now Samsung has come
When recruiting workers, many people were already preparing to find a new employer. Ji Dongqing cursed inwardly to pick up the ready-made ones.
Of course, there is another thing that makes Ji Dongqing very angry. The suppliers he worked so hard to bring from China have now begun to supply Samsung equipment.
From semi-finished products to finished products, especially mechanical parts, there is still a lot of supply.
This is normal in the machinery industry. What Ji Dongqing is most worried about is that the other party leaks his company's drawings and design parameters. These things are the lifeblood of his company.
Fortunately, Ji Dongqing has the foundry firmly in his hands, and he has not let go of the paint factory. As long as he has basic materials and other things in hand, Ji Dongqing doesn't have to worry too much.
As for Samsung mobile phones, they are famous for squeezing suppliers. I hope the suppliers who cooperate with them will be blessed.
"Dongqing, this is an inquiry letter sent to us by Samsung Mobile Phones. Samsung Mobile Phones needs a lot of batteries this time. Can we supply them? There is also packaging and testing, and the price is pretty good!"
AVIC handed over a document with the Samsung logo on it, but Ji Dongqing just glanced at it.
"Give me a slap in the face and give them a quote! Let's contact the chip side with the domestic supplier to see if we can get some out! Also contact MediaTek, we used them a lot when we were making copycat phones.
Chips from home! This is a channel I used before, to get some chips from retail investors and ensure production capacity first!"
It was the first time that Ji Dongqing faced such a difficult situation, especially when it came to mobile phone chips.
Now Ji Dongqing felt like someone was holding his neck, and he felt a little suffocated. Ji Dongqing walked to the window and pushed it open vigorously.
In the field of process chips, Koreans started very early, and TSMC and MediaTek in Taiwan Province of China were latecomers.
Domestic progress in the field of chip design and manufacturing has been very slow in recent years. The main reason is that the investment is large, the time cycle is long, and the results are slow.
Both Taiwan Province and South Korea had strong local and national support in the early days, especially South Korea.
When supporting the country's pillar industries, the country adopts a package and gift model. In addition, after the end of World War II, semiconductors are in their infancy.
No one could predict what this technology would bring to mankind. South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan Province are all actively following up.
At that time, China's entire country's industry was in its infancy, and not much attention was paid to this fledgling high-tech.
