Chapter 1332 The Tried and Tested Chinese Market Strategy

In the conference room, both parties formally took their seats.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious, and the proud Lu Yizhi spoke first: "Thank you, Huaxia Wuji, and Mr. Cao of UMC, for your support and help in reaching this negotiation. At the beginning of the negotiation, I am looking forward to the final outcome. A win-win result.”

The translator of the conference will provide simultaneous interpretation on site.

In fact, even without an interpreter, most of the people attending Wu Tao's meeting were able to understand and communicate fluently.

Immediately, Lu Yizhi expressed interest in the progress of the 90nm process chip production line project currently being cooperated by Tianxin Technology and UMC.

So the backbone, led by Academician Ni and Hu Bo, supplemented by Yang Shining, had full exchanges with AMD's technical team.

The communication process is very pleasant, and AMD is always pleasantly surprised.

Of course, the two veteran experts have always grasped the confidentiality level very well, and they can also arouse the interest of the AMD technical team just right.

Wu Tao did not participate in this, and was happy to relax.

While drinking my own coffee, I occasionally exchanged views with Secretary-General Liu Da next to me and dealt with some urgent matters.

After the two sides conducted in-depth and extensive technical exchanges throughout the morning, the topic of cooperation negotiations was finally put on the table in the afternoon.

Unsurprisingly, AMD has indeed expressed its intention to cooperate with Tianxin Technology and UMC to build factories and production lines, and has vowed that this decision will become its development strategy in the next ten years.

This suddenly raised the level of this cooperation negotiation to an infinite level.

Several forces on Wu Tao's side were very happy, especially Cao Yicheng of UMC, who was even more excited.

After poaching TSMC’s Zhang Zhongmou for so many years, there are finally signs of loosening up.

This matter should come to light!

However, Lu Yizhi then changed the topic, "In view of the importance of this strategy to AMD, we hope that you can build factories abroad, or directly build factories in the United States."

"...In this regard, we believe in Huaxia Wu's international market expansion capabilities, and we also look forward to both parties working hand in hand in the international market to create new market miracles."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Yicheng felt something in his heart, and subconsciously felt that this matter was a bit troublesome.

So everyone stopped talking, and their eyes invariably focused on Wu Tao, who was drinking coffee.

Wu Tao took a sip of coffee, put down the cup slowly and said, "I'm sorry, this is impossible!"

Sure enough, Lu Yizhi's face suddenly became a little ugly, but Sanders was the only one who remained calm, with a stern face and said nothing.

Upon seeing this, Cao Yicheng became anxious and kept winking at Wu Tao through several people.

After all, his tone was too harsh and domineering, and if he pushed someone back, it would be difficult to deal with it.

Academician Ni Guangnan observes his nose with his eyes and his mind with his nose. There is no fluctuation in his face or psychology at all.

He knows that his boss is tough and there must be a reason for being tough.

For Hu Zhengmin and Yang Shining, such hard talk is nothing in international affairs negotiations.

In the past, there were always quarrels in the conference room, but now this situation is very early.

Sure enough, Wu Tao knocked on the table and continued: "With all due respect, Mr. Lu Yizhi, your company chose to directly compete with Intel in the international market, even the US market. I think it is not a wise decision."

"...If your team does not realize this, we are even willing to give up the opportunity of this cooperation."

"...Because we don't want to be cannon fodder and the price of your competition!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yizhi stood up and said, "Wu, AMD has been a strong competitor of Intel in the global market for so many years. I think this is an indisputable fact."

The conflict was about to break out, and the translator was so frightened that he didn't know whether to continue interpreting.

Cao Yicheng looked up at the ceiling, seemingly giving up on treatment.

After a while, until Lu Yizhi's momentum weakened, Wu Tao said slowly: "Lu Yizhi, this was indeed the case in the past. I don't deny it. But if AMD continues to do this in the future, sooner or later it will be far behind Intel. .”

"...And if your company can't change this situation, I don't think we are willing to cooperate with such a company. Aren't we?"

Lu Yizhi sat down slumped.

He had to admit that Wu Tao was right.

If AMD still only seizes the opportunity in the new process without making any changes in its market strategy, this advantage cannot be maintained for a long time.

Just like in the past many years, AMD has surpassed its opponents in a certain generation of products.

But in the end, Intel, who had reacted, pressed him down and rubbed him hard.

This situation is really too unbearable to look back on.

"Okay," Sanders, who had been silent, finally said, "Lu, maybe we should listen to Huaxia Wu's advice. After all, he is an internationally renowned investment expert, and if it wasn't for our own good, he probably wouldn't Being so honest and forthright.”

Lu Yizhi said nothing, indicating his acquiescence.

Sanders turned around and said with a smile on his old face: "Dear Wu, in your opinion, what changes should AMD make to better cope with future Intel competition? Or, can you put your Huaxia Share your experience in semiconductor industry strategy with us?"

This is the right attitude!

Wu Tao drank all the coffee in his cup and said, "This is easy to say, Mr. Sanders."

"... Your company's products have always been at the low end of price in the long-term competition with Intel. I think AMD must have its own unique considerations here."

"... In the future, whether it is desktop PC chips or mobile chips, the Chinese market will have great market potential. The independence of China's semiconductor industry also stems from this strong demand and potential."

"... Then for AMD, if it can locate the production line in China, and make the Chinese market the focus of its future market strategy."

"...On the one hand, this can greatly save the circulation cost of your company's products to the market; on the other hand, the development of new markets is likely to inject new vitality into AMD's technology research and development."

"...There is an old saying in China, which is: poverty leads to change, and change leads to prosperity. Mr. Sanders, Mr. Lu Yizhi, this is what I have to say. I hope it will be helpful to you."

After a brief silence, the conference room suddenly became lively with discussion.

It's an obvious truth, but when it comes from Hua Xia Wu's mouth, it's so convincing.

Moreover, choosing to produce in China can indeed save a lot of costs, and the advantages formed when translated into the market are enough to have a decisive impact on product competition.
