As soon as the call was connected, Lin Feng heard bursts of machine roars coming from the other end.

"Jiang He, how is the situation over there?"

Jiang He said excitedly: "I am making good progress here. Not only have I given Joseph a lot of benefits, but I have also helped his people solve employment problems.

Joseph is very nice to me now, afraid that I will abandon my responsibility and run away if I don't want to!"

"So that means the silicon ore will start to be sold continuously now?"

"That's right, the first batch of silicon ore will be available for sale soon!"

Lin Feng quickly asked: "Has any buyer come to the door?"

"Of course there are, especially many chip manufacturers in Europe and the United States, who have great requirements for silicon mines.

For many years, they have imported large quantities of silicon ore from Zambiya.

It’s just that there was a war in Zambiya this year, so they haven’t been able to import any silicon ore from Zambiya.”

"So what is the price of silicon ore now?"

Jiang He explained: "The price of silicon ore is rising steadily, and in the futures market, the price of silicon ore has gone crazy.

Moreover, the heads of those companies also said that in previous years they were able to obtain a lot of high-quality and low-priced silicon ore in Zambiya.

But since last year, Zambia has been unable to carry out normal mining, causing the price of silicon ore to rise sharply, and they were also forced to use all the silicon ore raw materials in stock!"

"In that case, what do you think will happen if we keep these silicon ores and don't sell them?"

Jiang He was stunned when he heard this: "What? Storing silicon ore and not selling it? Director Lin, you are kidding, right?"

"Do you think I'm kidding?"

"Director Lin, you are playing with fire. Although silicon ore is in short supply in the market, it is not completely unavailable. It will just cause the price to go up a bit.

But now we have invested too much money here. Once our silicon ore cannot be sold immediately and accumulates, it will undoubtedly cause our costs to increase significantly.

By that time, even if we raise the price, the profit may not be greater than the original price!"

Jiang He quickly analyzed the situation with Lin Feng.

“I have checked, and in the past, the silicon ore exported by Zambia accounted for 20 to 30 percent of the world’s production.

We are now conducting full-scale mining, and if all goes well, we will definitely be able to increase the output of this silicon ore.

But now, we are facing attacks from high-tech companies such as Telala, Huaxing and Apple Mobile that are mainly based on chips.

So I plan to fight them head-on and accumulate the silicon ore in my hands.

Of course, it’s not that we won’t sell at all, but we can deliberately raise the price to force up their costs for manufacturing chips.

In this way, they will not be able to maintain their price advantage over us, and may even be at a disadvantage.”

Jiang He said with some concern: "But after all, there is still 80% of the global market, right?"

"The global chip shortage is mainly because the amount of chips mined is limited, but more and more electronic products require chips, and the demand is also increasing.

So we just need to endure for a year or two, and I believe the gap will only be bigger by then.

Once the costs of OEMs rise, they will inevitably ask these companies to increase their purchase prices to maintain their profits.

But we are different. The silicon ore in Zambia is more than enough for us to use, so we have occupied an absolutely dominant position invisibly! "

Lin Feng explained it to Jiang He on the spot.

"This is a situation where we kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of our own."

“Although this is true, the problem is that we can have a steady supply of reinforcements, but their numbers are decreasing.

So we just need to hold on for a while, and when they collapse completely, we can return to normal!"

Lin Feng also knew that this chip shortage was only temporary, and Zanbia could not represent the global silicon mine market after all.

We can only use the impact of the chip shortage during this period to directly interfere with the production of companies such as Telala.

Once they find a new silicon ore supplier in the future, or the chip gap is filled, it will obviously be unrealistic for him to stockpile silicon ore.

Seeing that Lin Feng had made up his mind, Jiang He could only nod in agreement.

"So from now on, we should try not to sell our silicon ore to the outside world. Longteng Mobile Phones, Xiaomi Mobile Phones, Longteng Automobiles and even Gemei Group will need a large amount of silicon ore raw materials. You can give priority to supplying these ores to these companies. Do you understand?"

Jiang He immediately replied seriously: "I understand, I know what to do!"

A month has passed in a flash, and during this month, Longteng Automobile has achieved outstanding performance in new energy vehicles.

However, due to price promotions, Trala still firmly holds a dominant position, and its market share has even increased instead of decreased. The original 60% market share has increased by 5 percentage points, almost returning to its original level.

However, Longteng Automobile was not idle either. From its initial market share of 1%, it made rapid progress and expanded its share to 5% in just one month.

And this 4% will naturally be used to seize market share from other domestic automobile brands.

Longteng Automobile's new energy battery is like a sharp knife piercing into the chest of all domestic new energy electric vehicle companies.

They don't have the strong power support of Trala, nor do they have strong technical skills.

So he soon lost in the fierce competition.

At the same time, Lin Feng's plan to ask Jiang He to hold on to the silicon mine and not sell it finally took action.

In the raw material market, the demand for silicon ore is gradually increasing, but the output of silicon ore is decreasing significantly during the same period.

This is mainly because Zambia, as a silicon ore exporter, has not supplied much silicon ore to other countries for a whole year.

Before, because of the war, no one had any solution.

But now the war is over, and Zambiya has been mining silicon ore on a large scale, but it is still holding on to the silicon ore and refusing to sell it.

Soon, news came out that the silicon mining company in Zambiya seemed to be intentionally hoarding silicon ore raw materials to raise the price.

As soon as the news came out, the global silicon ore market quickly became nervous.

What surprised Lin Linfeng and Jiang He was that after hearing the news, some other large silicon ore exporters not only did not speed up mining and export to seize the market, but also began to reduce production.
