While Su Wu was persuading his employees to ship goods all over the world, he received another piece of good news.
The price of natural rubber has indeed started to rise.
Just one day into January, the price of natural rubber jumped by several hundred yuan, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
This further strengthened Su Wu's confidence; this round was in the bag.
Whether it can rise to that level in the future is not something Su Wu can consider.
His plan is to hold onto it until the end of the first quarter at most, at which point he will begin to build the laboratory.
No matter how much he earns in the end, it's all free for him.
When good luck comes, you can't stop it.
Su Wu felt that 2003 was likely to be his lucky year.
The chip samples I sent out received a reply very quickly.
The customers were extremely satisfied.
Who would have thought that just over a year after 130-nanometer technology was actually put into application, people would start piracy?
Moreover, this piracy technique left them speechless; it was simply flawless.
Meikuzi was the first to send a message.
"Lord Su Wu, we can have you manufacture chips for us. The parameters we need are... We need 10,000 chips for the first batch."
Although their orders are not many, they are still worth several million US dollars.
This was definitely a good start for Su Wu.
Placing an order on Meikuzi felt like opening a Pandora's box.
Orders from various regions began to pour in.
"We need chips with the following parameters..., and we need 20,000 of them."
"Our parameters are... 10,000 Koreans."
"I need 50,000 8-inch chips..."
One order after another was sent over, leaving Su Wu dazzled.
This stumped Su Wu.
With the order in hand, he couldn't just sell it directly.
He still needs some packaging.
Even if Meikuzi knew he had a production line, Ruyang Electronics Technology Company could not expose it.
It wouldn't be good if something went wrong and we were sanctioned.
Therefore, he still needs a transit point.
After much thought, he came up with a solution.
That means he could set up a shell company in Russia.
In Asia, he simply set up a shell company in South Vietnam.
As for the Americas, he chose to set up a shell company in the Goose District.
With Judge Chiang around, this kind of thing is a piece of cake.
He could achieve his goal simply by acquiring any struggling small company.
In less than a month, Su Wu completed the planning and began formal production.
When Gao Qiang and the others saw the order worth 100 million US dollars, everyone was stunned.
They were already surprised that Su Wu was able to secure an order from the Russian bear.
Now Su Wu has given them so many orders, from all over the world.
The only thing that frustrated them was that these orders didn't seem legitimate at all.
Gao Qiang looked at the various parameter reports in his hand, somewhat puzzled.
"Boss, is there something wrong with these orders? Why are they all unlabeled, and many of them are counterfeit products from certain brands!"
"What's the problem? We're just doing OEM manufacturing for others, not producing our own products. It's perfectly normal."
Su Wu blushed and forced himself to offer an explanation.
It's pretty obvious what these guys are going to do with their orders; it's downright shameless.
Under his domineering presence, Gao Qiang had no more doubts and immediately went to make arrangements.
With an order worth $100 million, they can conservatively estimate that they will earn $30 million.
It doesn't look like much, but this is only the first batch of orders.
Once they get their hands on these things and make money, they'll naturally become addicted.
Su Wu felt that even at his worst, he could still earn 300 million US dollars a year.
With this income, his chip factory finally found a purpose.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to recoup his costs in four years at most.
This was already an extremely rare achievement for Su Wu.
Although it was nothing compared to the company across the river, it was enough for Su Wu.
Although he was trying to justify his actions, Su Wu also considered a problem.
He said to Gao Qiang, "You guys must have a lot of friends or alumni abroad, right? Can't you contact some legitimate OEM business?"
"This is something we could try, but do you mean these orders are illegitimate?"
As Gao Qiang nodded in thought, he felt that the order in his hand was not legitimate.
“These orders are definitely legitimate, but they’re all from companies that aren’t well-known. We need to expand and strengthen our business,” Su Wu explained again, trying to justify his decision.
He suddenly realized this, and it wasn't just about expanding business volume.
Instead, he suddenly thought of another problem.
That's an intellectual property issue.
If they can actually secure some legitimate OEM orders, then they'll have an excuse to explain themselves in the future.
This would give them a reason to possess 130-nanometer chip technology.
Although it's like burying one's head in the sand, that's often how it is internationally.
Su Wu looked at Gao Qiang with a hint of resentment, which made Gao Qiang feel uneasy.
Such a great idea, how come this guy didn't think of it?
It's really not easy for a technically skilled person to grow into a qualified manager.
Su Wu felt somewhat helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
One month later.
A batch of high-end chips entered the international market, causing quite a stir.
