Wan Feng and Zhu Guoxiong met in Heihe. They have been dealing with each other for more than two years and are very familiar with each other.
Wan Feng knew that it was useless to ask for more, Zhu Guoxiong would not give it to him at all. It would be better for him to offer the lowest price, and Zhu Guoxiong would just give him a bargain.
Besides, he didn't intend to ask for an exorbitant price. Even if he did, it would depend on who would win.
If Lian Xiang goes to him to buy chips now, he may not sell them if the price is less than 121.
"Forty-five dollars? Why five? It's just forty."
The price offered by Wan Feng far exceeded Zhu Guoxiong's expectations.
The person in charge of the military test said that this chip is much better than 286 in terms of performance and only slightly worse than 386.
With the current price of 286 at over 200 yuan and 386 at over 500 yuan, it would be no problem to sell it for 350 to 400 yuan.
But this guy only asked for sixty at most.
The reason why he cut off five pieces was out of habit.
Yes! It's just a habit. Cutting corners when doing business with this guy has become a conditioned reflex.
"Hey! Grandpa! This is the price of more than 500,000 pieces. If you buy 10,000 or 20,000 pieces, this price will definitely not work."
Wan Feng quickly stated that without the volume of 500,000 pieces, this price would probably not even be enough.
"I know!"
Wan Feng was delighted.
"Grandpa! You mean the military can ask for more than 500,000? Why so much? Are there so many places to use it?"
"Is this what you should be asking? How can I tell you where I am going? Say what you should say and don't say what you shouldn't say. Do you understand?"
This was not the first time Wan Feng had dealt with the military, so of course he knew the confidentiality regulations.
"Of course I understand."
"After you sign the contract tomorrow, go back and focus on production. Also, if the military asks you to develop a specialized chip in the future, I wonder if you can do it?"
"Grandpa! You should ask Engineer Cheng about this. You might as well ask your own heels. I don't know how to develop and design chips."
"You're full of bullshit, you idiot. I asked Engineer Chen, and he said that if it's not too complicated, development is possible, but it may not be possible for production."
"Huh? Why can it be developed but not produced?"
"Amount! Because these are specialized chips, the quantity used won't be huge, maybe just a few hundred or a few thousand."
There are only a few thousand or a few hundred of a dedicated chip, so you will definitely lose money if you sell it at a sky-high price.
But it's impossible to expect the military to give you a sky-high price.
Since it can’t be sold at a sky-high price, I’m afraid all the research expenses will have to be spent on it.
Therefore, once you take on this job, you will lose money with no way out.
"Take it! You don't ask for such chips every day, do you?" The military uses them when they are needed, and they have to do it even if it means losing money.
"Of course not. Maybe we only need one model per year."
Producing one chip a year is not an easy task, but once the military asks for this kind of chip, it must be something important.
"I accepted it and accepted the compensation."
Zhu Guoxiong smiled with satisfaction: "Although the military is poor now, we will not let you suffer any loss. If there is any chip for you to research, we will send some scientific and technological personnel from the military to assist you. The military also has many talented people."
Wan Feng immediately became excited when he heard this. He knew that there were many talented people in the military, and most of them graduated from science and engineering majors, and some even had doctorates or master's degrees.
The reason why they did not make any achievements in semiconductors was entirely because the military at that time did not pay much attention to semiconductors, or because these people had not graduated from university long ago.
After all, the resumption of the college entrance examination was only ten years ago.
As for attention, the military did not care much about electronics in the 1980s and did not think these things were useful except for radar.
If it weren't for the Gulf War, it might not have attracted their attention.
It was not until the Gulf War that they were shocked and realized that modern warfare was completely different from the wars they had experienced.
The electronic station really attracted the military's attention.
Once the military takes notice, the talents of those people can be truly brought into play.
And now these talented people don’t know what they are doing.
"Grandpa! How about you lend them to me for research now? That way, when you want to research something important, you'll have a foundation and a higher chance of success."
If he could get some military semiconductor talent to his South Bay factory...
Wan Feng would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
Unfortunately, Zhu Guoxiong didn't give him the chance to dream and giggle. He just said one word: "Get out!"
"Grandpa! This is not good. This is not right. It's not a good habit to tell people to get out all the time."
"Boy! How dare you set your sights on military personnel? I tell you they'll go when they should, and they won't go when they shouldn't, even if you ask them."
If you don't want to come, then don't come. Why are you glaring at me? It's as if I'm afraid of your glare.
If the person is not borrowed, then just sign the contract honestly.
The next day, under the auspices of Zhu Guoxiong and several soldiers whom Wan Feng did not know, Wan Feng signed a chip supply contract with the military.
Five hundred thousand pieces, forty yuan each, a deal of twenty million.
Although there was only a profit of more than 10 million out of the 20 million, Wan Feng was very satisfied.
Anyway, this is a successful start.
The first time he made chips, he planned to lose 1.2 million, but he didn't expect to make a profit.
There is no reason for him to be unhappy.
After the signing was completed, Wan Feng, Cheng Gong and Han Guangjia took a car back to Jiangwei.
The next day after returning to Jiangwei, Cheng Gong called Component Factory No. 5 and placed another order for 400,000 chips. Then he devoted himself to the research of Hope No. 2.
He aims to make a chip that surpasses 386 and is as good as 486 in the next two years.
Wan Feng certainly gave his support, allocating the most elite personnel to his team and providing ample funding.
The profits from Huaguang's sales of learning machines are all kept there, and this money is intended for semiconductor research.
After receiving the second batch of 400,000 orders, the entire Component Factory was filled with jubilation.
Although they only make a profit of more than two yuan for making a chip, these 500,000 chips still make a profit of more than one million yuan.
Compared with last year's profit of only 30,000, this is a world of difference.
They have reason to rejoice.
It is November now and the weather is getting colder.
The ground also began to harden.
Wan Feng, wearing a thick coat, accompanied Zhou Bingde out of the Hongying Hotel.
Their task today is to check the progress of Tengfei Technical School. The weather is starting to get cold, and they don't know how far the technical school has progressed.
Although Wan Feng would pass by the school almost every time he went to the Nanwan factory when he was at home, he would just take a quick glance.
Anyway, the building has been built a long time ago and the glass and other things have been installed.
I just don't know how it's cleaned up inside.
Today is the day he and Zhou Bingde are going to find out.
