"Our cooperation with the General Trade Center was conducted under your guidance, and we have already paid for the goods as required by you. However, the General Trade Center always delays our payments. This is a bit..."

"Oh! I'm not quite sure yet, I'll look into it."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Director Xue. I've kept your word. Taking a step back will open up a whole new world, but the other party is pushing their luck. I have another matter to report to you. I went to the capital recently, and the child of a section chief in the General Trade Department was driving a Volkswagen Santana, saying he borrowed it from his workplace. A student driving a company car? Does their workplace have so many cars that they can't drive them all?"

"I'll arrange for someone to investigate what you reported. Don't feel like you're bothering me by calling me. Let's communicate more when we have time. Let me know when you come to the capital, and I'll treat you to a meal." Director Xue said to Xing Baohua with a smile before hanging up the phone.

Xing Baohua had no idea that Director Xue's face turned ashen the moment he hung up the phone.

Because of Xing Baohua's phone call, many people were replaced within the General Trade Center.

Moreover, a sum of money was also transferred, about one-tenth of which was 800 million.

They said the goods hadn't arrived yet, so this amount of money was considered a deposit.

Moreover, Zhong Qiang also called Xing Baohua and said, "Hey buddy, this is so unfair. It's just a few days late paying you, why make such a fuss about it with Director Xue?"

"Is this something that needs to be given late? This is a matter of integrity. Don't call me again, get lost!" With that, Xing Baohua hung up the phone.

Whoever you are! You're disgusting just because you didn't pay enough, and now you're accusing me of snitching?

Who spoiled you all with these bad habits?

You're used to being a big shot, aren't you!

Xing Baohua asked someone to check the quantity of 286 chips that someone wanted to order.

The current selling price is over $110, while the purchase price is $95.7.

A company wants to purchase 200,000 chips. That's only a little over 19 million US dollars. Of course, that's just for the main chips. Adding the power manager, capacitors, resistors, and other components on the motherboard, the total value is over 200 million US dollars.

Delivery will be completed in stages within one year.

Xing Baohua immediately called the lithography factory to inquire about the production volume of the replicas.

Philips lithography machines can support wafers up to 12 inches in size. Based on an 85% yield rate, one wafer can produce 450-520 chips.

All existing machines are in operation, with a monthly production capacity of 650,000 units.

Xing Baohua then inquired about the cost and learned that it was only one-third of the cost of American-made products and one-quarter of the cost of Japanese-made products. He then laughed.

An order was immediately issued to produce 300,000 replicas at a 1:1 ratio.

I need to tell someone that he's an expert at replicating things, and he's also an expert at substituting inferior parts.

Think of how much money that would save!

Furthermore, what about the original chips he replaced? Did he use them in his own machines, or resell them at a high price to manufacturers who couldn't get these chips? For example, Polar Bear?

They'd be happy to sell it at the retail price!
