"Lose 6 million, earn back 30 billion! Damn, that sounds like a good deal!"

"Although your method is unreliable, I have to admit that I am moved."

"I'm also tempted, how about we give it a try?"

Seeing these people getting ready, Lao Zhang's expression changed drastically, and he angrily asked, "Are you crazy?"

"Do you really think this world is lawless?"

"If we do this, not only will Xingyi Technology be furious, do you think the village will turn a blind eye?"

"Yes, the law does exist." Others also spoke up and refuted decisively:

"If we do this, we will definitely be caught. If we are fined, it won't be 30 billion RMB, it might be billion USD!"

"More importantly, as an OEM, we rely on big customers, so we have to stick to principles and abide by the rules."

"Breaking the contract and cutting off the supply of chips to Xingyi Technology was already very unruly. If you blackmail and sell the last batch of orders from Xingyi Technology, you're really courting death."

"By then, TSMC's credibility will be gone. Who will dare to hire us as a foundry? Who will trust TSMC? Even Apple and Qualcomm are worried that we will hack their chips and resell them!"

"That's right. You can think about damaging the company's reputation, but you can never do it. If you do that, TSMC will be finished."

"More importantly, Xiaguo is the world's largest market. If we do this, not only will we be hammered in the future, but the chips we manufacture will also be implicated."

"The simplest thing is that once the chips we manufacture are labeled as unqualified and the approval is blocked, the customer's chips will not be sold and the customer will be angry, which will not be a good thing for us either."

Hearing what everyone said, Jiang Hong and the others all looked drastically different.

Some things are fun to do, but the cost is not.

Jiang Hong and his colleagues were typical technical people who became managers with their excellent skills, but they were not as good as those who came from administrative management in terms of overall vision.

All we can say is that every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Old Zhang glared at Jiang Hong and sentenced this guy to death in his heart. He was not up to the task!

Then he looked around at the other two people and said, "More importantly, if we do this, do you really think Wang Yi has no countermeasures?"

"Don't you think Wang Yi didn't make a move when Qualcomm and Apple's stock prices plummeted and their market value evaporated by hundreds of billions?"

"What? The previous stock price crashes of Qualcomm and Apple were all caused by Wang Yi's short selling?"

Everyone was shocked and full of disbelief.

Lao Zhang sighed, "This is the reliable information I got. The plummeting share prices of Qualcomm and Apple are all related to Wang Yi. After several short sellings, Wang Yi made tens of billions. Apple and Qualcomm lost hundreds of billions of RMB!"

"On Wall Street, Wang Yi was nicknamed the Wolf of Wall Street!"

"If you don't take action, it's fine. But if you do, it will be a bloody storm."

"They made tens of billions of dollars, while the giants that were shorted lost hundreds of billions of dollars."

"This..." Jiang Hong's face turned pale: "If we do this, Wang Yi will short TSMC, and we will also lose hundreds of billions?"

"It's very likely." Lao Zhang nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Once we sell Xingyi Technology's chips, our reputation will be ruined and it will be difficult for customers to trust us again. This behavior is illegal and the village will punish us. Add to that Wang Yi's aggressive short selling, and how much do you think we will lose in the end? How low will TSMC's stock price fall?"

"Hiss!" Jiang Hong sucked in a breath of cold air. "Under this situation, if Wang Yi continues to short TSMC, TSMC's losses will not be as simple as 2000 billion, but even 3000 billion or billion!"

The others were also sweating profusely.

In order to hack billions of chips, he lost hundreds of billions and ruined his own future!

This deal is not worth it at all!

It's totally courting death!

"Pah!" Jiang Hong slapped himself in the face and said in a deep voice: "Chairman, I was reckless. I didn't think carefully enough and almost ruined TSMC. I accept the punishment!"

This scene shocked everyone else.

But Lao Zhang waved his hand and said, "Forget it. After all, it's just a discussion. I won't pursue it if it's not implemented. From now on, you can be in charge of the logistics department!"

"I...Okay, thank you, Chairman." Jiang Hong's face was pale, and he knew in his heart that his future was over.

In other business units, we can still achieve results and develop.

But in the logistics department, that's how it's going to be for the rest of your life.

There are only two options: doing your job well or not doing it well. There is no possibility of getting a performance promotion.

"So, we can only swallow this incident in silence?"

The other person spoke, his expression somewhat complicated.

Lao Zhang nodded. "We were at fault in this incident. Wang Yi is very powerful. If this hadn't happened, I would have worried that Wang Yi would have retaliated against us in other ways, such as looking for an opportunity to short TSMC. Now that this has happened, we are even. We don't have to worry about Wang Yi continuing to retaliate."

"Yes, it's better for Wang Yi to take away Huawei's orders than to short us. We should have thought of today when we cut off the supply of chips to Xingyi Technology."

"That's right. After all, we were the first to stop supplying, so we were in the wrong. Now that our customers have been taken away, we have no choice but to swallow our anger."

"Besides, Huawei's chip orders are limited. The total number of K3V2 produced is a little over 1000 million. Even if the Kirin 910 is produced a little more, it is only 2000 million. It is still a small customer. Wang Yi took it away. It is not worth mentioning."

Everyone echoed and agreed.

Even the radicals who had previously wanted to retaliate have stopped and chosen to suffer in silence.

There's nothing we can do about it, people are just realistic.

If Wang Yi does not have the ability, TSMC will definitely not swallow this humiliation, and will have to retaliate even if it was wrong first.

But Wang Yi has the power to make Qualcomm and Apple lose hundreds of billions of dollars, and even TSMC is afraid!

Let alone revenge, I’m afraid that Wang Yi is still angry and will short TSMC again!

That's the end of it.

"Okay, let's do it this way. But we at TSMC can't suffer losses in vain, we have to find someone to pay for it." Lao Zhang said in a deep voice.

"Chairman, do you mean to contact Qualcomm?"

Can’t afford to offend Xingyi Technology, so should we ask Qualcomm to settle the score?

Lao Zhang nodded: "That's right. In this incident, Qualcomm forced us to stop supplying Kunpeng chips to Xingyi Technology, which led to Xingyi Technology's revenge and snatched away our customer Huawei. As the culprit, Qualcomm must compensate us!"

"What if Qualcomm refuses..."

Lao Zhang laughed: "Reject? Do they have the capital to refuse?"

"Tell Qualcomm that if the compensation is in place, Qualcomm will be able to mass produce Snapdragon 810 with 20nm process by the end of next year. If they refuse, let them go to Samsung!"

"Haha, it's still easy for us to control Qualcomm. Next year, 20-nanometer mobile phone chips will just start to be produced. Our 20-nanometer production capacity is small, and Samsung's 20-nanometer production capacity is even smaller."

“咱们的20纳米产能给了苹果A8，三星的20纳米产能给了自家的猎户座5430、猎户座5433，猎户座7410，更没高通的份。”

"If Qualcomm doesn't compensate us properly, we won't manufacture for them, and the Snapdragon 810 and Snapdragon 808 will be difficult to produce."

Old Zhang nodded, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes: "That's right. Gao Tong is destined to be a chess piece, but he wants to be a chess player."

"We let him go before because we were worried that he would turn the tables. We were also afraid of the old Mi behind him."

"If it weren't for Mike Pompeo's support, Qualcomm would be nothing! Didn't you see that Texas Instruments, which was once at its peak, is now dead?"

"Then I will contact Qualcomm and ask for compensation."

"Go!" Lao Zhang said calmly.

Soon, Qualcomm received a notice from TSMC and quickly reported it to Jacob.

Jacob was so angry that he yelled, "Fuck, is TSMC sick? They lost their customers to Xingyi Technology, and they want us to compensate them? What kind of logic is this?"

"I guess they don't dare to cause trouble for Xingyi Technology, so they come to Qualcomm!" Vice President Franz Quentin couldn't help but say.

"???" Jacob was in a bad mood. "You don't dare to cause trouble to Xingyi Technology, so you come to cause trouble to Qualcomm? What do you mean? Do you think Qualcomm is easy to bully?"

"Ahem, although they don't want to admit it, they think so."

“Fuck! Fuck!” Jacob cursed. “TSMC is crazy. Really crazy. We must teach them a lesson. Orders…the next generation orders should all be given to Samsung, not TSMC!”

"Chairman, the Snapdragon 805 at the beginning of next year has been given to Samsung. However, the Snapdragon 810 at the beginning of the year after next requires a 20-nanometer process and can only be manufactured by TSMC."

"Why can't Samsung do it? Samsung also has 20 nanometers, right?" Jacob said angrily.

Franz Quentin nodded: "Samsung's 20-nanometer process is slower than TSMC's, and its production capacity is also less than TSMC's. More importantly, they still have to produce their own Orion 5430, 5433, and 7410, so they don't have any extra 20-nanometer production capacity for us..."

"Fuck! No wonder TSMC is so arrogant, they are determined to take over Qualcomm!"

Jacob was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

In the field of chip foundry, TSMC is still the unrivaled leader, even Samsung cannot compete with it. Moreover, even the most advanced 20-nanometer process has to give priority to its own chips.

This makes Qualcomm uncomfortable.

Franz Quentin changed the subject: "In addition, TSMC also said that if we make full compensation, we can mass-produce Snapdragon 810 ahead of schedule by the end of next year. If not, it will have to be the beginning of the next year, or even the middle of the year..."

"Clap, clap, clap!" Jacob clapped his hands:

"Give a slap in the face and then give a sweet date. What a carrot and stick strategy. Lao Zhang is really good at it!"

"I have to give this old man a thumbs up!"

“唉！不过眼下局面就是如此。明年台积电20纳米产能都给了苹果A8，三星明年的20纳米产能都给了自家的5430、5433，后面还有7410。咱们要是再得罪台积电，那就……”

Jacob understood the words halfway through his sentence!

"Alas! I thought we could use chip orders to balance Samsung and TSMC, but in the end, we were controlled by TSMC!"

"Ugh!"

Jacob sighed repeatedly, feeling extremely depressed. "Okay, let's give all the Snapdragon 610 orders for the third quarter of next year to TSMC. This can be considered as compensation."

"Chairman, Snapdragon 610 is the first 64-bit processor, but it only has four cores of A4 and Kunpeng 53. It can be considered a mid-range processor this year, but its performance will be too poor next year, and it will be a low-end processor. I suggest canceling it and directly mass-producing the eight-core Snapdragon 702, which has four high-frequency A615s and four low-frequency A53s!"

"It makes sense. If the Snapdragon 610 is released this year, it can still compete. But it will be a sluggish product next year. Let's save it for the Snapdragon 400 series the year after! Next year, we will directly mass produce the Snapdragon 615 and hand it over to TSMC for foundry as compensation."

"Okay!" Franz Quentin responded.

"The situation is stronger than us. It's so frustrating!" Jacob said angrily.

Franz Quentin also lamented: "We were indeed controlled by TSMC this time, but we are still counting on TSMC's 20nm process to produce Snapdragon 810 and Snapdragon 808, so we can't retaliate. But in essence, it was Xingyi Technology that grabbed TSMC's orders, causing TSMC to ask us to compensate!"
