Tzuyun, how many orders have been kept by each company?"

"There are only 3. ”

"Only 3?"

Well, but the three companies also said that after the end of this batch of chip foundry, they will cooperate with TSMC. ”

In the international office of the center, Zhang Rujing, founder and CEO, has a serious face.

Speaking of Zhang Rujing, it is necessary to mention Zhang Zhongmou.

Both of them worked at Texas Instruments back then, but Zhang Zhongmou's position at that time was much higher than Zhang Rujing's.

But despite this, Zhang Zhongmou still saw Zhang Rujing's extraordinary.

After Zhang Zhongmou left Texas Instruments and returned to Taiwan to start a chip foundry business, a few years later, Zhang Rujing also returned to Taiwan City to start a chip foundry business. But unfortunately, in the end, technology and capital can't compare with Zhang Zhongmou, and Zhang Rujing's company in Taiwan City was directly acquired by Zhang Zhongmou. At this point, Zhang Rujing came to the mainland and founded Center International.

Relying on the support of the mainland and the huge market, although the center international is still technically inferior to Taiji, it has been developing well since the establishment of the center international. According to Zhang Rujing's plan, as long as there are no accidents at Center International, it is not impossible to catch up with TSMC in the next 10 years.

But Zhang Rujing never expected that Zhang Zhongmou would make a killer move halfway through.

The means of halving the foundry price of 0.25 micron chips has pulled away a series of businesses of the center international.

"Mr. Zhang, I think TSMC will fight a price war, and they will also suffer. ”

After thinking about it, Deputy Qiu Ciyun said.

"Not necessarily. ”

Zhang Rujing shook his head: "Zhang Zhongmoubu is such a game, it is absolutely impossible for him to suffer losses." I guess their 0.25-micron chip foundry technology matured a year ago. This time, they just want to defeat our Center International at once. ”

It is extremely difficult for the chip foundry business to develop.

To build a chip foundry production line, the foundation is 1 billion investment.

And it's one of those lines.

Not to mention the more advanced 0.18 micron chip foundry technology.

"What do you mean from above?"

"The boss asked us if we could keep going. ”

“......”

Zhang Rujing smiled bitterly.

Zhang Zhongmou has worked hard to set up this game, if he can persevere, then Zhang Zhongmou's game will be meaningless.

Looking back now, Zhang Rujing knows that no matter whether he met Zhang Zhongmou's appointment at that time or not, this time danger will inevitably come. As for why Zhang Zhongmou still invited Zhang Rujing over, it was just an insurance policy.

......

"Mr. Zhang, you have played a good show. ”

was cheated by Zhang Zhongmou, and Chen Yu was still a little blind at the beginning.

It's just that when he thinks of his other business, Chen Yu is not so anxious.

On the contrary, he was also in the mood to give Zhang Zhongmou a phone call.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, it's just business competition, I think, if you were me, I would do the same, right?"

On the phone, Zhang Zhongmou said with a smile.

This time the layout can be described as perfect.

He believes that with this operation, the center international will not be able to turn over in five years.

This is not blown.

You must know that in the field of chip foundry, TSMC is the real hegemon.

Once Central International is suppressed this time, even if it can make a comeback next time, the gap with TSMC is estimated to be half a century.

Can you imagine what the half-century gap means?

This means that no one wants to do this business anymore.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for giving me a vivid lesson. ”

Chen Yu was not angry: "That's okay, let's talk next time." ”

Hanging up the phone, Chen Yu carefully recalled the development process of TSMC.

When Zhang Zhongmou was at Texas Instruments, there was no chip foundry business in the world.

At that time, chip design and chip production were done by themselves.

For example, Intel.

Intel itself is responsible for chip design and chip production.

At this time, Zhang Zhongmou keenly discovered the way of chip foundry.

He believes that in the future, all chip companies only need to be responsible for chip design, and he can take over all chip foundry business.

With this concept, Zhang Zhongmou was the first to create a chip foundry business in the world.

And, after decades of technology and development, TSMC has become the world's largest chip foundry giant.

Not only does his business exceed that of all chip companies in the world, but also their chip foundry technology completely exceeds that of any chip company in the world. Comparing AMD with Intel, AMD is far inferior to Intel, but the answer to why AMD can survive the competition with Intel is that AMD hired TSMC as an OEM.

Although Intel's chip design is awesome, its chip production technology is very average.

TSMC foundry chips are all instructive to Intel in terms of efficiency, cost performance, and yield.

Therefore, we can see that AMD can sell chips with the same performance or even more than Intel's performance.

In this, it is TSMC that plays a huge role.

It is precisely because of this that TSMC has absorbed 61% of the world's chip foundry business with one family.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that TSMC has the strength to strangle Center International by slashing prices.

I remember that in my previous life, TSMC also competed with Center International once.

That contest made Center International could have narrowed the distance with TSMC, but it was thrown out by TSMC again.

Until 2020, the technology of Center International and TSMC was still several generations apart.

This also makes it clear that we have chip foundry companies, but in the face of the US blockade, we don't have much to deal with.

It's not that I don't want to deal with it, but the technology is several generations apart, so how to deal with it?

I have to say, this is a tragedy.

But this time, that's not necessarily the case.

Since Chen Yu was involved in the bureau this time, Chen Yu can't be flattened by TSMC.

Besides, moving the center of the international is also moving Chen Yu.

Moreover, Chen Yu also hated that he was cheated.

Although Chen Yu knew that even if he guarded against this pit, it was useless.

But not fighting back when he was cheated is not Chen Yu's style.

After thinking about it, Chen Yu went to the chip research and development department of Huanyu Technology.

It's time to start the chip business that it spends a lot of money on.

......

"The little guy is quite arrogant. ”

Seeing Chen Yu hang up the phone, Zhang Zhongmou said with a smile.

He actually admires Chen Yu a lot.

At a young age, he created such a big business, but he was far inferior to himself back then.

However, it's one thing to appreciate it, it's another thing to compete in the mall.

He Zhang Zhongmou has been working hard for so many years to have such a status today, but every step has been carefully thought about before leaving.

As for Chen Yu arrogantly giving him a phone call, he didn't mind.

On the contrary, he also hid a hand.

As long as TSMC cooperates with Intel and OEM for Intel, it will also be a relatively big threat to VIA chips. VIA is now tied to Huanyu Technology again, which can also threaten Chen Yu.

Of course, it also depends on whether Intel is willing to cooperate with them TSMC.

But at this point, Zhang Zhongmou is not in a hurry.

TSMC's technology surpasses all its peers in the world, which is the source of his confidence.
