Chapter 73: Those chips come from Hong Kong Island?
Niu Jun, Wei Yebing and Meng Guotao looked at each other.
The three of them used to be important distributors of Huayao, so they naturally knew some inside information of Huayao.
Huayao does have a chip inventory, and it is not small. It has a certain amount of chips of various functions, grades, and models.
Niu Jun took a sip of tea and said, "I learned some time ago that there are about three million Kirin 990s in stock."
Meng Guotao nodded: "This inventory is not small, but it is not enough for Huayao's size, so we didn't dare to sell it some time ago."
Wei Yebing frowned and said, "Could it be that Huayao is using stock chips this time? With a stock of three million chips, it makes sense that they only used one tenth of them this time."
Meng Guotao shook his head: "This doesn't make sense. We've sold more than a million units at once. We can't just hold off on delivering them. What if the chips run out? Will Huayao stop making phones?"
"That's hard to say. Isn't it said that Huayao is going to give up the mobile phone business?"
After Wei Yebing said this, these former Huayao dealers felt much better.
If Huayao's mobile phone business disappears, it would be a wise decision for them to cut losses early.
Niu Jun thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't feel right. This is not Huayao's style. It would be too hasty to give up the mobile phone business now."
Wei Yebing said: "Brother Niu, I think this is normal. Huayao will not be able to get chips in the next few years. Not only is there no place to manufacture Kirin chips, but even if you want to buy them, you can't buy them."
Meng Guotao also said: "Yes, Huayao should have made a thorough assessment. The longer it delays, the greater the losses will be. The unprofitable mobile phone business will drag Huayao down. The sooner it is abandoned, the better."
Niu Jun finally smiled: "That makes sense."
Having said that, the mood of the three of them suddenly became much better.
Mountain darkly, vista.
Wait until the clouds clear and the bright moon appears, and the boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge.
As long as there is no hope for the future of Huayao's mobile phone business, the decision of these former dealers to withdraw is extremely correct.
On the contrary, those dealers who remain in Huayao's channel network will suffer huge losses in the future due to various investments and binding costs.
Niu Jun smiled and said, "It's rare for us to get together. I'll treat you tonight and let's have a few drinks together."
Meng Guotao waved his hand: "Brother Niu, it's my treat, don't fight with me!"
At this moment, Xu Jian suddenly asked: "Everyone, are you sure Huayao can't buy the chip from somewhere else?"
Wei Yebing was stunned for a moment: "Who would sell chips to Huayao at this time?"
Meng Guotao also laughed and said, "Yeah, who would dare to commit a crime against the wind? That means they don't want to get involved anymore."
Xu Jian said: "What I mean is, we should make sure of it."
Niu Jun took a sip of tea and said, "That's easy. I have an acquaintance at Huayao's southern factory. I can tell you if Huayao can still get the chips by asking."
As he spoke, Niu Jun picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.
The other party answered the phone quickly.
I just heard Niu Jun talking.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, are you busy now? ... Oh, I have something to ask you. Now that Mate 20 is available for purchase, has the chip supply been resolved?"
"…I mean, have you found a foundry yet? Or are you still looking for one?"
I don’t know what Niu Jun heard, his face changed: “What, what? A group of them came in a few days ago?”
When these words were spoken, Wei Yebing and Meng Guotao were both shocked.
Xu Jian's expression was also strange. The hand holding the teacup stopped moving and he listened very attentively.
Niu Jun's face was solemn, but his thoughts were clear as he continued to communicate with the other party.
"Well, Lao Zhao, can you tell me which factory made this?"
"...Don't know? Lao Zhao, stop messing around. Just tell me a little bit. I won't tell anyone. I'll treat you in a couple of days. Do you want Moutai, Jiannanchun, or Wuliangye? Oh, you like Biluochun. I'll bring you 10 kilograms of the best grade!" "What? You really don't know? Lao Zhao, you're in the warehouse management department. How could you not know the source of the chips?"
"...Is that so? Okay, then please help me find out. I'm just curious and want to know where the chip came from."
Niu Jun hung up the phone and was speechless for a moment.
Wei Yebing couldn't help but ask: "Brother Niu, what's going on? Does Huayao have a chip?"
Niu Jun nodded: "Yes, I heard that a batch of chips were indeed put into storage some time ago."
Xu Jian asked hurriedly: "What chip?"
Niu Jun looked up at the other person and said, "Qilin 990."
"Wha, what!?"
"impossible!"
"Brother Niu, is that person reliable?!"
After hearing this, Wei Yebing and Meng Guotao were both panicked.
It’s incredible that Huayao can actually replenish advanced chips.
what does this mean?
It means Huayao can break through the blockade.
Niu Jun said calmly: "Okay, calm down. This is not certain. I heard from the people over there that although a batch of Kirin 990s have arrived, there are only a few hundred thousand."
Wei Yebing and Meng Guotao looked at each other.
Although hundreds of thousands of Kirin 990s may sound like a lot, it is still a drop in the bucket considering the size of Huayao Mobile.
Meng Guotao asked, "Could it be that the goods were transferred from other factories?"
Niu Jun thought for a moment and said, "I can't rule out this possibility, but if it's true, Lao Zhao should know about it. But from what he said, the source of these chips is unknown."
Xu Jian asked: "I wonder which manufacturer produced it?"
Niu Jun shook his head.
"Does he know where these chips were shipped from?"
Niu Jun glanced at Xu Jian and felt that the other party's attitude was strange, but he didn't care.
Niu Jun answered casually: "He didn't know the exact starting point, but it passed through Hong Kong Island."
After hearing this, Xu Jian was stunned.
"...Hong Kong Island? So the chips were shipped from abroad?"
"I don't know about that. Hey man, you seem to be very concerned about Huayao's chips. Are you also in this business?"
Xu Jian was stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile: "Yes, I am also from a related industry, and I am very curious about Huayao's chips, so I asked a few more questions."
Niu Jun didn't ask any more questions.
A moment later, Xu Jian came out of the room, silently took out his cell phone, and quickly sent a message to someone.
Xu Jian is not an ordinary person. He is an intelligence officer of the United States in China. His Chinese face allows him to do his job better.
Xu Jian’s current task is to find out the source of Huayao chips.
After contacting Niu Jun and his team, we did gain something. At least we knew that the batch of chips that had just entered Huayao's warehouse passed through Hong Kong Island.
This is an easy matter to handle. Let our colleagues in Hong Kong Island investigate it thoroughly.
