Chapter 497: The phone rang at the same time (1/2)

Suddenly, the quaint room was filled with a scent of vegetables that made the two guys swallowing saliva because the host had presented exquisite dishes as if these delicacies only exist in the fairyland, he presented them on the table, there were double vegetables in soup, Yulin tofu, Yinsi bamboo fungus, Polygonum Serrata, pine nut mandarin fish, Longjing shrimp, cream crab-stuffed orange, it was a first-class fire recipe...

”Mr. Ye, look at this tableware.” Brother Yan Zhao picked up a small teacup for drinking, and four signatures of [good fortune, long life, health, and peace] fell from under the beautiful cup of tea.

”These tablewares are all antiques, although they are not very valuable in folk markets when we eat in it, we just pursue a show.”

”That's for you, and I don't want to take it.” Ye Qing didn't be polite with Yan Zhao, picking up a tempting fire square and putting it in his mouth.

”Ok…”

This bite was so fragrant like the carefully cured ham meat after perfect cooking, and it did not have the salty and astringent feeling of any cured meat but only has a delicious and juicy long aftertaste.

”Come on, don't worry about eating, try this Kweichow Moutai 30-Year-Old.” Brother Yan Zhao took the opened bottle of white wine from the host and prepared to fill Ye Qing's glass. Ye Qing had passed the cup, just as the phone rang. So, brother Yan Zhao stopped first and prepared to wait for Ye Qing to finish the call before pouring the wine. As a result, the phone in his pocket had also rung.

”Hello...”

”Boss, something went wrong with the factory's electronic components supply channel.”

The person who had called was Qiu Yi, the manager of the company’s purchasing department. He said on the phone: “Just now we received a message from Germany [Fresenius Machinery Semiconductor Company]. They said that for some reason, their company could no longer provide DM1550, the control chip for the mechanical hydraulic servo system.”

”These purchase orders are for 10,000 pieces. I called to ask them why they breached the contract. They said that the company had just acquired, and the new boss wants to integrate their production processes and may be unable to supply such chips in the short term. They are willing to pay compensation in accordance with the liquidated damages in the contract, but...”

Purchasing manager Qiu Yi said: ”It's just that the DM1550 chip they produce has always been a seller's market. The liquidated damages we signed in the contract are only 20% of the purchase price. Even if the compensation is millions of dollars.”

”Do they say how long it will take to resume the supply of this chip?”

”They answered that it will take more than half a year at the earliest.”

”I see.”

Ye Qing frowned slightly. After hanging up the phone, he found Yan Zhao had also frowned. After asking each other about the situation, Ye Qing had found out that the brother Yan Zhao has also frowned because of Fresenius.

However, it is not the chip that was facing out of stock, but even the price of the sensor chip on a somatosensory remote control.

The brother Yan Zhao had said Fresenius had just been acquired, and the new boss believed that the original product was priced too low and wanted to increase the price of the sensor chip purchased by the brother Yan Zhao by 20%. So, he smiled bitterly: ”Business is too difficult these years. Raw material prices have risen, and somatosensory remote control prices cannot follow. As soon as the price rises, consumers promise to turn to buy other products.”

Ye Qing nodded and called back to the factory, and Master Jing told him that there were still four thousand DM1550 chips in stock.

The DM1550 chip was the core chip of the simulated robotic arm that specifically controlled the hydraulic servo system. Regardless of the Titan I, or mechanical engineering chairs, robots, this chip was needed to distribute the power of the machine hydraulic system, and without the DM1550 chip, Ye Qing really couldn't find a substitute for a while.

The mechanical hydraulic servo system itself was a relatively unpopular industrial product. Although there were several chip manufacturers at home and abroad, they were producing similar chips. However, when comparing these chips, only Fresenius Mechanical Semiconductor's products met Ye Qing's requirements.
