202: Suffering from Shuguang Technology?

Shuguang Technology needs to contact Motorola as soon as possible to acquire Motorola's 8-inch wafer factory and its affiliated factories in Tianjin.

For this, Shuguang Technology needs to prepare tens of billions of funds as a base; if Shuguang Technology can establish a firm foothold in the high-end mobile phone market,

Then the loan repayment period, which would originally take several years, might be compressed to one year or at most two years!

Although reducing the repayment period by one or two years might not seem like much, during those one or two years, Shuguang Technology will not need to repay loans.

Shuguang Technology will be able to allocate more funds for product research and development and technological breakthroughs, ultimately accelerating the rise of Shuguang Technology.

Therefore, the success of high-end mobile phones actually influences the future of Shuguang Technology and significantly impacts the speed of Shuguang Technology's rise.

Of course, these are future matters; the current task is to quickly negotiate with Motorola regarding the purchase of the Tianjin chip factory.

Time is already approaching the second half of the year; if negotiations aren't held soon, the chip factory in Tianjin will be snatched by Zhongxin International.

...

June 20, 2003.

United States, Motorola Headquarters.

At this moment, the Motorola executive conference room was silent, and many people present showed solemn expressions.

"Colleagues, it's time for us to face reality."

The person speaking at this time was Zafirovski, who is in charge of the mobile phone business.

In response, a Motorola executive said helplessly:

"Shuguang Technology's two mobile phones created a sales volume of 400,000 units on their first day, and in the following days, they reportedly maintained a daily sales volume of 82,000 units, with an estimated annual sales volume of 30 million units.

Facing such a formidable enemy, I genuinely feel my scalp tingle and don't know how to confront them.

After all, every 10,000 units they increase in sales represents a decrease of 10,000 units in sales for our motorola v1 mobile phone."

At this point, the scene fell silent again.

Because what the executive said was indeed true; although Shuguang Technology's first-day sales performance was poor,

But the subsequent four consecutive days of selling over 80,000 units completely silenced any mockery.

"Perhaps we should start taking Shuguang Technology seriously, put aside our arrogance, and treat it as a stronger opponent than Nokia."

The person speaking at this moment was surprisingly Edward Sandel, who had previously always looked down on Shuguang Technology.

It seems that the dawnlight f2 and dawnlight a2 have completely shattered his pride; however, such an enemy is even worse for Shuguang Technology.

Because in the technology industry, you don't fear a foolish enemy; you fear an enemy who takes you too seriously and then works hard to bring you down.

However, at this moment, Galvin, who had remained silent, slowly began to speak:

"Everyone, Lin Chen has sent over a cooperation proposal that needs to be discussed. The matter is too significant, so I feel it's best for everyone to discuss it together."

After President Galvin finished speaking, several staff members slowly placed the relevant documents in front of the dozen or so senior executives present.

"Shuguang Technology wants to purchase our chip factory in Tianjin?"

Edward Sandel uttered in surprise.

He hadn't expected Shuguang Technology to approach them for this matter; then Edward Sandel's eyes darted, seemingly thinking of something sinister.

However, at this moment, a senior executive responsible for network communication services frowned and said:

"Shuguang Mobile Phone is our enemy; how can we sell chips to them? Isn't that increasing the enemy's strength?"

Upon hearing this, another executive present also nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, our Tianjin chip factory can produce 130-nanometer mobile phone chips, and their Phoenix S1 is also 130-nanometer.

Once we sell the Tianjin chip factory to them, allowing them to self-produce and self-sell the Phoenix S1,

Then this would be terrible news for us. I think it's better to sell the chip factory to Zhongxin International."

In response, Edward Sandel, with a cold curve to his lips, slightly shook his head and said:

"No, I actually think selling the Tianjin chip factory to Shuguang Technology is the best option. Don't forget how many hundreds of millions of dollars we've been scammed out of by the semiconductor chip manufacturing business."

"This..."

Hearing Edward Sandel's words, the two executives who had just spoken against it immediately fell silent, with expressions of contemplation on their faces.

After all, their Motorola was a company severely impacted by the semiconductor chip manufacturing business.

Last year alone, their Motorola was scammed out of 284 million US dollars in cash by the semiconductor chip manufacturing business.

So, the semiconductor business's first impression on them was that of a money pit, their biggest loss-making business.

At this moment, if they really sold the chip factory to Shuguang Technology, they could certainly scam Shuguang Technology, letting them understand the pain of burning money like water.

At this time, Zafirovski, who is in charge of the mobile phone business, also spoke in agreement:

"I support selling the Tianjin chip factory to Shuguang Technology. Shuguang Technology's current annual production capacity has reached 30 million units, capable of producing 82,000 mobile phones daily.

Currently, a newly constructed 30-million-unit new mobile phone factory is also under construction and is reportedly able to start production in August or September.

By then, they will have a total mobile phone production capacity of 60 million units, which is terrible news for our Motorola.

Even with the dawnlight f2 and dawn a1, they might not reach an annual sales capacity of 60 million units.

But I don't think achieving an annual sales of 40 million units would be too much pressure. Finally, if they launch other models of mobile phones, annual sales of 50 million units are possible.

So, we must stop Shuguang Technology from developing steadily. As for how to stop them, I believe there's nothing better than burdening Shuguang Technology with a massive load.

We will certainly sell the chip factory for no less than 10 billion Xia Yuan. With Shuguang Technology's current strength, they cannot afford this much cash and will only be able to take out loans.

Under such circumstances, Shuguang Technology will bear immense pressure, needing to repay a huge debt every month.

Invisibly, Shuguang Technology will not be able to allocate as much money for research and development, coupled with the low yield rate issue of 130 nanometers.

Ultimately, the speed of their strength development will slow down, and during this period, we will not only gain a large sum of cash,

But also be able to identify the shortcomings of Shuguang Mobile Phone and ultimately develop stronger mobile phones to defeat Shuguang Technology."

Hearing Zafirovski's words, many people present's eyes lit up, realizing that this was indeed a way to severely harm Shuguang Technology.

After all, they had a deep understanding of how much of a money pit the semiconductor chip manufacturing business was; one could say that 2002 was one of Motorola's most difficult years.

The main reason was the problem of too many loss-making businesses, and among these loss-making businesses, the most shocking was the semiconductor chip manufacturing business.
