Suddenly, the quaint room was filled with a scent of vegetables that made the two guys swallowing saliva because the host had presented exquisite dishes as if these delicacies only exist in the fairyland, he presented them on the table, there were double vegetables in soup, Yulin tofu, Yinsi bamboo fungus, Polygonum Serrata, pine nut mandarin fish, Longjing shrimp, cream crab-stuffed orange, it was a first-class fire recipe…

”Mr.
Ye, look at this tableware. ” Brother Yan Zhao picked up a small teacup for drinking, and four signatures of [good fortune, long life, health, and peace] fell from under the beautiful cup of tea.

”These tablewares are all antiques, although they are not very valuable in folk markets when we eat in it, we just pursue a show. ”

”That ’s for you, and I don ’t want to take it. ” Ye Qing didn ’t be polite with Yan Zhao, picking up a tempting fire square and putting it in his mouth.

”Ok… ”

This bite was so fragrant like the carefully cured ham meat after perfect cooking, and it did not have the salty and astringent feeling of any cured meat but only has a delicious and juicy long aftertaste.

”Come on, don ’t worry about eating, try this Kweichow Moutai 30-Year-Old. ” Brother Yan Zhao took the opened bottle of white wine from the host and prepared to fill Ye Qing ’s glass.
Ye Qing had passed the cup, just as the phone rang.
So, brother Yan Zhao stopped first and prepared to wait for Ye Qing to finish the call before pouring the wine.
As a result, the phone in his pocket had also rung.

”Hello… ”

”Boss, something went wrong with the factory ’s electronic components supply channel. ”

The person who had called was Qiu Yi, the manager of the company’s purchasing department.
He said on the phone: “Just now we received a message from Germany [Fresenius Machinery Semiconductor Company].
They said that for some reason, their company could no longer provide DM1550, the control chip for the mechanical hydraulic servo system. ”

”These purchase orders are for 10,000 pieces.
I called to ask them why they breached the contract.
They said that the company had just acquired, and the new boss wants to integrate their production processes and may be unable to supply such chips in the short term.
They are willing to pay compensation in accordance with the liquidated damages in the contract, but… ”

Purchasing manager Qiu Yi said: ”It ’s just that the DM1550 chip they produce has always been a seller ’s market.
The liquidated damages we signed in the contract are only 20% of the purchase price.
Even if the compensation is millions of dollars. ”

”Do they say how long it will take to resume the supply of this chip? ”

”They answered that it will take more than half a year at the earliest. ”

”I see. ”

Ye Qing frowned slightly.
After hanging up the phone, he found Yan Zhao had also frowned.
After asking each other about the situation, Ye Qing had found out that the brother Yan Zhao has also frowned because of Fresenius.

However, it is not the chip that was facing out of stock, but even the price of the sensor chip on a somatosensory remote control.

The brother Yan Zhao had said Fresenius had just been acquired, and the new boss believed that the original product was priced too low and wanted to increase the price of the sensor chip purchased by the brother Yan Zhao by 20%.
So, he smiled bitterly: ”Business is too difficult these years.
Raw material prices have risen, and somatosensory remote control prices cannot follow.
As soon as the price rises, consumers promise to turn to buy other products. ”

Ye Qing nodded and called back to the factory, and Master Jing told him that there were still four thousand DM1550 chips in stock.

The DM1550 chip was the core chip of the simulated robotic arm that specifically controlled the hydraulic servo system.
Regardless of the Titan I, or mechanical engineering chairs, robots, this chip was needed to distribute the power of the machine hydraulic system, and without the DM1550 chip, Ye Qing really couldn ’t find a substitute for a while.

The mechanical hydraulic servo system itself was a relatively unpopular industrial product.
Although there were several chip manufacturers at home and abroad, they were producing similar chips.
However, when comparing these chips, only Fresenius Mechanical Semiconductor ’s products met Ye Qing ’s requirements.

As the saying goes, some people do decapitate business, and no one does it at a loss.

This type of DM1550 chip, in the global consumer market, was only 30 to 40 million Yuan a year, and the Fresenius Company alone was enough to produce all the chips needed in the world.

Could there be other chip companies ready to master this chip manufacturing technology, adjust the production line and compete with Fresenius in the world, with a market share of only 30 to 40 million yuan per year? This share of 30 to 40 million Yuan was only made up by Monster Heavy Industry when it was stepped in this year.

The inventory was only 4,000 pieces, this quantity, Monster Heavy Industry could digest it in half a month, but…

The Fresenius Company was acquired and reorganized.
It would take half a year for it to resume production.
At that time, whether the new boss was willing to continue to produce, such chips were still a problem, because the market size of the DM1550 chip was too small, its same series, DM850, and DM1250 were the mainstream of market consumption.

”What ’s wrong, President Ye, you can ’t find a replacement chip for a while? ” Yan Zhao asked, seeing Ye Qing frowning and thinking.

”It ’s hard to find.
The DM1550 chip is a mechanical hydraulic servo chip specially designed for an exoskeleton device developed by the German Fresenius Company a few years ago for the German military. ”

”As you know, the exoskeleton, before the energy breakthrough, was purely a toy to cheat money.
That project did not have any accidental bankruptcy, and this chip was also introduced to the civilian market. ”

Ye Qing and Yan Zhao had a drink.

”This kind of chip sells for a little over two hundred Yuan, which is too expensive, but then again, the Intel I3 processor is only a few hundred Yuan, but besides them, who can make it? ”

”Then there is no way… ”

Brother Yan Zhao couldn ’t help but worry about Ye Qing.

The more complex technology products are, the more they need a globally integrated supply system.
No company has the capability to complete the self-production of all parts.
This is true for a screw even so for a chip.
Among them, there are some spare parts, which are manufactured by only a few companies or one manufacturer in the world.

”There is no other choice.
There is no second factory that produces the DM1550 chip.
The main reason is the market is too small and no one is willing to lose money to engage in research and development. ” Ye Qing stretched his brows and put on a smile and said: ”Let ’s eat first, don ’t discuss things about work. ”

Without the DM1550 chip, Ye Qing would only feel trouble, and he was not hopeless.
The remaining chips were still enough to support half a month of production, and Ye Qing believed that the problem could be solved in half a month.

The meal was ended at half-past one in the afternoon, and the chip matter did not disturb Ye Qing ’s appetite.
The entire table of delicacies was wiped out by Ye Qing and Yan Zhao.

The signing ceremony will take held at 4:30.
Ye Qing said goodbye to Yan Zhao and returned to the Peregrine Falcon with the Master Metal Expert.
Using the office system in the cabin, he first contacted the company and then contacted Liu Dongyu, the president of [Simtron Future Co.
Ltd.].

In the future, Xinchuang would focus on industrial semiconductor chips, and it was also considered small in China.
When producing ionization purifiers, Ye Qing bought the electromagnetic induction element production line from him.
Ye Qing wanted him to develop alternative technologies for DM1550 chips in the future.
The research and development fund would come out of Ye Qing, and after research and development, he would sign a long-term stable order agreement with them.
Things like the chips, he would use them.
Ye Qing doesn ’t need to waste the precious time of monsters to conquer the DM1550 chip.

”Fresenius Company? ” As soon as Ye Qing mentioned this, Liu Dongyu had immediately gritted his teeth: ”This is my old opponent.
I know them too well, even better than my wife. ”

”Mr.
Ye, you don ’t know the new boss of Fresenius is Chinese. ”
