Great Power Technology

Three days later, in a conference room in the north of the island.

Several business representatives from TSMC gathered at the conference table to discuss subsequent negotiation strategies with Spark Factory.

However, what they discussed today was not only intra-day cooperation methods, profit distribution, market division, etc., but also some off-market moves that should not have been put on the table.

This is their helpless move, because everyone knows that if the other side is really determined to target TSMC, then it can almost be said that our side will not be able to survive the first round of blows no matter what.

Therefore, instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to find out the details of the other party first, and then prescribe the right medicine according to their determination and strategy to strive for the greatest benefit for yourself.

In order to achieve this goal, they had no choice but to accept official suggestions and took some actions that were officially supported and seemed to them to be stupid. These actions did not achieve any benefits as they expected, but fortunately, so far, they have not achieved anything. It didn't cause any big losses.

At most, the other party showed some dissatisfaction with their own neglect. The meeting that was originally scheduled to be held on the second day after landing was forcibly postponed and has not yet been held.

".So, our previous actions have indeed aroused the other party's resentment. In the past three days, we made an average of two greeting calls to them every day, but the reply we received was 'no rush'."

"They seemed not to be interested in cooperation, but they asked our reception staff several times about mobile payments."

"I would like to ask, does everyone know about mobile payment? What is their intention in asking this?"

The speaker was Gao Wenxiong, the head of TSMC's business development department. Although his job on the surface is a series of relatively pragmatic things such as so-called industry analysis, strategy formulation, structural optimization, etc., in fact, everyone knows this department. It is the last stop in the succession and the most powerful role under the CEO.

After hearing his question, there was a silence in the conference room. After a long time, someone raised his hand and answered:

“I heard from our guest workers that they have been traveling in the north of the island for the past two days, and there are many payment scenarios. Is it because they are used to mobile payment there, so they have difficulty using banknotes? If that's the case, we can use that to open things up and build a personal relationship with them first."

"After all, our ultimate goal is to cooperate. We didn't even talk about it, but we just broke up. Isn't it bad?"

Gao Wenxiong nodded slightly and said:

"Your guess is reasonable, but I don't think they will be that boring. The so-called sightseeing is just a response to our previous attitude - by the way, they have been busy these days. Where have you been?"

After hearing his question, the manager of the customer service department in charge of customer reception answered:

"I have already visited the National Palace Museum, Beijing City, Yangmingshan Park, and the scenic spots near New Beitou Hot Spring Island North. Moreover, they have chosen the highest standard of services. They seem to be having a very relaxing time."

"They didn't take the initiative to contact us during this process. Even when we brought up the business, they didn't show any concern. I think this is very abnormal."

However, before he finished speaking, Gao Wenxiong interrupted him directly.

"What's abnormal about this?"

The guest worker supervisor was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Isn't this abnormal? In my impression, they are all workaholics, and..."

"And what? Are you very polite?"

"Yes, they are all very polite, but this time they are not polite at all."

Hearing this, Gao Wenxiong showed a mocking look on his face.

"You're welcome? Peng Yiyu, what's going on now? The brain above is sick, and it's infected you, right?"

"Can you use your stupid pig brain to think about why they were so diligent and polite in the past?"

"That's because they're climbing up!"

"In the past, we were number one in the industry. When they had questions, they always asked us. Of course they were polite. What about now? Now they are the boss! They are the ones who talk!"

"Go to the Bamboo Union Gang and ask, is there any reason in this world for the boss to be polite to the second brother? If the second brother disobeys the boss, it would be fine if they don't chop off the hands and feet. Are you still polite? Why are you being polite?"

"What's going on? Do you think we still have a trump card? Our trump card is just ASML's new product! By the time the machine comes out, others may have updated it to the sub-nanometer level! What's the use?"

Having said this, Gao Wenxiong took a deep breath and forced down the unknown fire in his heart.

I really can't stand these idiots in front of me.

——

No, not just in front of you, but also those idiots from above who are not in this conference room right now.

They actually thought that "the advantage is mine". Don't they know that the last person who said this sentence had been driven to this small island and died in depression?

It's so funny!

The foreign worker supervisor opposite was so scolded by him that he did not dare to answer. After a long time, he continued to ask:

"What are our drivers collecting? Is there any information available?"

The guest worker supervisor shook his head and replied:

"No. Neither the information we need nor the information required above have been collected."

"As I said just now, they really seem to be on a trip these days. All they talk about is eating and drinking."

"Moreover, their identity in front of the driver is that they are tea merchants from there. The driver hinted at it several times, but the topic never came up about the chip."

"I think either they really don't care, or they might be a little more difficult to deal with than we thought."

Gao Wenxiong snorted lightly and asked deliberately:

"What do you think? Which one do you think is more likely?"

".I think it's possible. After all, the other party is still very young."

"Mother Ganlin! You are so young!"

After hearing the other party's answer, Gao Wenxiong stood up angrily and slapped the table hard, then cursed angrily:

"You have made two mistakes today. If you make a third mistake in the following discussion, then you should just stop doing it, pack up your things and get out of this conference room - no, just get out of the company. ,Understand?"

"Do you think they are young? The sales representatives and technical department directors of the world's most advanced Spark Factory, do you think they are young?"

"You can't handle the things they have dealt with even three of them! That Huang Qi handles more orders in a year than you have received! Do you think he is young? You have lived like a dog for 40 years ?"

Gao Wenxiong became angrier as he spoke, and his harsh curses echoed throughout the conference room. No one dared to refute at this time, because they could all see that Gao Wenxiong was not only angry at this time, but also anxious.

Even, there is fear.

It was time for him to take over as CEO next month, but at this moment, the opponent chose to launch their attack.

Everyone knows that this so-called cooperation negotiation is just a "letter of surrender" thrown by the other side. If our side does not handle it well, I am afraid that what will follow is swords, guns and sticks.

Who can withstand their swords, guns and clubs?

Even the ugly people are avoiding it!

Although I know that no one knows the inside story yet, the fact is that the aircraft carrier formation that was originally swimming in the Western Pacific now can't even see the shadow of a ship.

How confident do we have to be tough at this time?

It is impossible to win through force. The only option is to use negotiation to protect your own interests as much as possible.

After more than half an hour, Gao Wenxiong finally finished venting his anger. He sat back on his chair in frustration, sighed deeply and said:

"I personally called them and invited them to come and meet."

"This time, you must do your best to help me eliminate the influence from the top."

"If I get screwed up again, then I'm going to submit my resignation directly."

That afternoon, Huang Qi finally received the call he had been waiting for. The other party sincerely expressed his apology for the poor reception before and also explained to Huang Qi the reason for the problem.

"I have been really busy these days. Mr. Huang, as you know, we are about to change our leadership. There are a lot of things going on within the company. It's not easy for me to be the business development director."

"I heard that you guys had a lot of fun in the north of the island these days. I will make arrangements later. Don't just stay in the north of the island, but go to other cities as well."

"Don't worry, I will definitely accompany you in person!"

"By the way, do you think our meeting should be arranged for tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow, it depends on your time!"

After hearing Gao Wenxiong's words, Huang Qi no longer tried to show off his previous attitude in front of other foreign workers, but answered directly:

"It will be tomorrow. We have also been looking forward to meeting Mr. Gao for a long time - it has been two years since the last time we were in Shencheng."

"However, besides time, I have a small problem."

"What's the problem? You raise it and we promise to solve it!"

Huang Qi looked at Liu Shuang on the side, with a hint of a conspiratorial smile on his face. Then, he cleared his throat and asked:

"Mr. Gao, tell me, do you need to reimburse us for the expenses we paid for inspecting everything in the city these days?"
