Right now, the Flamingo company is in full swing, and third-party game manufacturers have finally succumbed!

In fact, they don't have a choice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the home console market, the Flamingo-1 accounts for more than 90%, and even if they comply with the royalty system, they can make a lot of money.

However, as more and more game companies agree with the royalty system, Flamingo's profits will increase significantly.

Although there are many garbage games on the market, there are also some good games. Porting from the Atari 2600 to the Flamingo-1 platform would generate a 20% revenue share for Flamingo, and some arcade games could also be ported.

In addition, the royalty system stipulates that the game cartridge is produced by the Flamingo Company, and finally it is naturally handed over to the Ant Factory for production.

Therefore, the Ant Factory had to be expanded!

Ant Factory is now producing game consoles, game cartridges and other related products for Flamingo, as well as GalaxyNet 1.0 network cards for Galaxy Network, and even Netflix's movie tapes are produced by Ant Factory. It won't be long before Sun Computer Systems' graphics workstations will be produced here. At the same time, Ant Factory also began to accept other electronic product OEM, including personal computers, televisions and so on.

Ant Factory has gradually developed into a large-scale electronic foundry.

In the vicinity of the ant factory, some parts factories have sprung up at this time, such as plastic factories, steel factories, etc., and the Flamingo-1 game console and game cartridge are not cutting-edge technology, and some simple accessories, Li Zetian is willing to purchase some from these factories. Moreover, the things they produce are of good quality and inexpensive, which can save the company money

"Made In China" is not a wasted name~~

……

……

The success of the Flamingo Company brought Li Zetian a huge income, allowing him to have enough financial resources to realize his plans.

The acquisition of Disney is just one of them, and the most important thing is that he wants to integrate the upstream and downstream industry chain of chips!

The most important piece of equipment used to make chips is a chip lithography machine.

There are very few companies in the world that can produce chip lithography machines, and they can be counted on their fingers, because the technology involved in lithography machines is too high.

So far, there are three main lithography machine manufacturers, one is ASML, which now belongs to Philips and has not yet become independent, and the other is RB's Nikon and Canon.

Compared to Nikon and Canon, ASML can only be regarded as a rising star.

The reason why RB semiconductors in the seventies and eighties were so awesome was summed up, saying that it was because Nikon and Canon's lithography machines were powerful, and RB semiconductor manufacturers were using these two lithography machines, so the products produced by these semiconductor manufacturers were very good.

However, with the rise of ASML, global semiconductor manufacturers have switched to this company's lithography machine, but RB manufacturers still use Nikon and Canon lithography machines with backward technology, resulting in a sharp decline in the competitiveness of RB semiconductor products, so the decline of the entire RB semiconductor industry is caused by ASML!

There is an unwritten saying in the semiconductor industry in the past life: where ASMOL's technology goes, the global semiconductor process is there.

Obviously, this sentence says it all the way.

Intel is also using Nikon and Canon lithography machines, but the purchase price is much more expensive than RB manufacturers, so compared to RB semiconductor manufacturers, Intel first has a lot more factory construction costs. In addition, the best and most advanced lithography machines are usually the first to be obtained by RB semiconductor manufacturers.

Intel lost to RB semiconductor manufacturers in the memory market, and it was indeed unjust.

……

By the end of the year, the financial statements were out.

The most amazing performance is, of course, the Flamingo company, with sales exceeding $10 billion, and the profit is only about $1.54 billion because the game console is not profitable, but the game console platform is a cash cow that will continue to bring in a steady stream of revenue.

Then there is Violet Records, Michael Jackson and Yu Jingqiu have sold more than 40 million records, and there are also MVs, Michael Jackson's commercial performances and endorsements, earning $3 billion for the company and a profit of $1.25 billion. However, this is a special case, and it will not be so profitable in the future. The MTV music television network has developed, and it has also successfully recorded "The Voice of America", which is currently undergoing post-processing and will be broadcast next year.

Galaxy Networks has also started to make a profit this year, selling 845,000 Galaxy Net 1.0 network cards, reaching $210 million in sales and a profit of up to $100 million.

Star Wars Films' net income was $750 million.

As for the other companies, the performance has improved significantly compared to previous years.

Finally, the revenue exceeded $50 billion, and the profit was around $10.5 billion.

Every year, we donate money to the L.Y Foundation to reduce taxes, and then take out a part of the funds to distribute dividends.

In order not to pay the 20% dividend tax, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu transferred their shares to the umbrella company, which has $2.48 billion on its books!

At this time, Li Zetian has enough confidence to integrate the upper and lower industrial chains of chips and do a high degree of vertical integration!!

It's just that ASML is now a division of Philips, and I don't know if it's impossible to buy it?

In fact, Li Zetian's concern is unnecessary.

The reason why ASML was separated from Philips was because at this time, Philips was in a bad economic situation and was implementing a very large-scale layoff plan, and there was no way to fund ASML.

Li Zetian sent someone to investigate, and soon learned about these situations.

"The time and place are favorable! It seems that the success rate of buying ASML is very high! Haha......" Li Zetian couldn't help laughing happily.

Li Zetian immediately sent someone to communicate with Philips in the name of Times Technology Company and spent $500 million to acquire ASML.

Philips was reluctant at first, but soon fell to its knees under a powerful money offensive and accepted the $550 million offer.

Philips apparently didn't realize the importance of the lithography machine, otherwise it would never have been sold.

The Netherlands also did not intervene to block the acquisition of Time Technology.

This made the acquisition very smooth.

Li Zetian couldn't help but feel secretly proud, as if he had received a big bargain, but it was true.

With the acquisition of ASML, the task of integrating the chip industry chain has been half successful.

However, it is not enough to acquire ASML, it also has to invest heavily in research and development. As we all know, high-tech is very expensive, especially lithography machines, and it is normal to research for several years without producing products.

Dongfang Yuqin said to Li Zetian with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, is this investment too risky?" Esmore President and Chief Technology Officer Blinker said that in order to research and development, we need to invest at least 200 million US dollars, and because they have extremely strict requirements for quality, they dare not guarantee that new products can be produced within three years......

Li Zetian didn't think about it, so he said with a smile: "You tell them that Times Technology is willing to invest $400 million in research and development!"

"Uh, okay!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded helplessly, she was not very optimistic about such a company that costs a lot of money for research and development, but has not had a product for a long time, because there are too many variables in the middle......

However, Li Zetian thought that the only lithography machine company that could compete with RB Nikon and Canon at the moment was Asmol (ASML), so what he needed to do now was to fully support Esmol, and then defeat Nikon and Canon, so that the RB semiconductor industry would slump from then on!!

Of course, at the same time, it also makes its own chip industry dominant, and then produces semiconductor products with strong chip technology!

ASML is headquartered in the Netherlands, and Li Zetian did not move it to the United States because it has many R&D partners in Europe, including Dutch universities and European research institutes.

However, Li Zetian established an Esmore American research center in the United States and an Esmore Asia research center in Hong Kong. In this way, there are research centers in Asia, Europe, and the Americas to speed up the development of new products.

The news of the acquisition of Esmore has not attracted attention except for the attention of competitors and semiconductor manufacturers. In fact, even if Esmore became a lithography giant, not many people in the world knew about it. However, Esmore is the real awesome company, and almost all semiconductor companies around the world are inseparable from Esmore. Before Li Zetian's crossing, the EUV lithography machine, known as the "ultimate weapon of the semiconductor industry", was invented by Esmoore, and each machine cost more than 100 million US dollars!

RB's Nikon and Canon combined, are not enough for Esmore to beat!

Li Zetian's self-confidence has increased greatly at this moment, and he is full of ambition, little RB, let my brother destroy your semiconductor industry with his own hands!!

Subsequently, Li Zetian began to look for other semiconductor equipment manufacturers non-stop.

At this time, he remembered a person, a Chinese.

"Genius has been a Chinese !! since ancient times"

"The Chinese are really some of the smartest people in the world!!"

Li Zetian said with deep feelings.
