Chapter 162: Chip Giants

Just 12 hours after submitting the first application, the delegation of Intel and Micron from the United States arrived in Pengcheng and stayed in a special reception hotel under the arrangement of the municipal government. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As for other delegations, they may not have this treatment, because Pengcheng's small abacus is not only the possibility of cooperation between Intel and Orange Technology, but their goal is now temporarily focused on the 300mm wafer fab with 90nm technology with a total investment of 2.5 billion US dollars.

(On March 26 of the same year, Intel announced the official launch of the wafer fab investment plan in Northeast Dalian, but in order to match the plot of the book, it is still in the final inspection stage.) )

The delegation sent by Intel this time was quite powerful, led by Su Aiwen, senior vice president and president of the investment department of the group, and a large number of entourages such as the technical department of the investment department, plus the personnel of Micron, there were more than 60 people.

If it weren't for the warm hospitality of the Pengcheng City Government, Su Aiwen would have wanted to get in touch with Orange Technology as soon as possible, because the entire American chip industry has great hopes for this cooperation.

3D-NAND technology is not only unique to Orange Technology, in the United States, the technology jointly developed by Micron and Intel has also achieved phased results, but compared with the perfect technology stacked in 32 layers, they are far from enough.

It is conceivable that this emerging technology that can make the chip industry develop by leaps and bounds will completely occupy the entire chip industry in the future, and losing it means being the first to go out in the cruel competition, and the large market of tens of billions of dollars can only be helplessly surrendered.

Even at this moment, semiconductor chip companies are eager to tightly block the news to prevent the emergence of this technology from having a huge impact on their own company stocks.

Su Aiwen came to Pengcheng with great pressure from the group, and the group even held an emergency meeting of all senior executives before he left, and then held a board meeting.

While he was still on the plane, the group sent the latest results of the meeting: Intel will not tolerate this technology falling into the hands of competitors!

Although smartphones at this time have not yet set off a sales frenzy around the world, in the field of PCs and other electronic products, chip hard drives have opened up a fixed market of tens of billions of dollars, once this low-cost, high-capacity technology is put into the market, which means that the existing pattern will be completely broken.

All the advantages of traditional giants will be lost, because no one will refuse a new product with 32 times more capacity than traditional chips at the same price, even if the price is ten times more expensive, they still have enough profit margins.

"It's a pity that the competitive pressure we are facing this time is too great, all the chip manufacturers known in the world have come to Pengcheng, and we may not be able to get what we want. Su Aiwen touched his forehead in distress, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel's presidential suite, and exchanged his views with Adams, vice president of Micron.

Adams, who has the iconic middle-aged baldness of an American man, also does not have much hope for this, "Yes, our eastern partners have always been in a behind-the-loop catch-up position in the chip industry, and this time they may not give up such an epoch-making product that is enough to change the world's chip industry." ”

Words are bitter and weak, and none of them would have thought that this is the technology they developed six years later.

Who let Li Mubai have a cheat, he doesn't care about the opinions of Intel and Micron at this time.

"We should be united, as far as I know, this company doesn't have a well-established sales channel, and we still have enough time to catch up with the technology gap. Su Aiwen can only analyze things with the worst intentions, once the negotiations break down, the blow to Intel is obvious!

Adams spread his hands, "This is impossible, those European and R Korean manufacturers will never be able to unite with us." Damn, let's think about how much we have to pay to get the patent we want from this company. ”

"Of course, if there is no perfect solution to the problem, then this company will be jointly attacked by all chip manufacturers, and they will not be able to eat alone. Su Aiwen nodded, and his mood improved slightly.

Under the joint intervention of the world's chip giants, even the ZG government cannot insist on going its own way, they have to pay something......

Early the next morning, almost all the chip manufacturers who came to Pengcheng couldn't sit still, and under the leadership of their respective company bosses, they went straight to the base camp of Orange Technology.

Longgang Industrial Park has never been as lively as it is today, and reporters holding high their interview equipment have blocked all the entrances.

The news, of course, was released by Li Mubai on his own initiative, and no one believed that this company had such a lot of energy at first, but the traces of the top executives of those chip manufacturers could be found out through flights and other means, and this could not be checked.

Intel, Micron, Toshiba, Samsung, these are the world's most famous super multinational groups, their presidents, vice presidents and even the chairman of the board of directors came to Pengcheng in person, how can you not pay attention to such a hot news.

As a result, there are now dozens of media reporters flocking here, and in the back, more media reporters are coming.

"It's really Intel Group Senior Vice President Edwin Su, who I interviewed last time in Dalian. The reporter of the Economic Weekly squeezed forward excitedly, and the microphone held high kept stretching towards the entrance of the building, "President Su, can you talk about the purpose of your visit to China? Why did Intel choose such a small company as Orange Technology for cooperation?"

"Sorry, no comment. Intel's dedicated press officer squeezed up and said with a blank face.

The group quickly entered the building, and many of them began to turn black, and in particular, who told the damn media the news.

God knows what a crazy shock it will be to the group's stock price if this partnership fails.

The reporters wanted to follow up, but unfortunately all the ordinary staff of the industrial park lined up at the entrance of the building to form a human wall, and only a few big media would get the right to enter the building for interviews.

However, this will not bother the remaining reporters, because the next big news is coming.

A row of Mercedes-Benz cars with South Korean flags stopped in front of the building, and one of the frequently exposed faces made all the reporters excited again.

"That's Lee Jae-yong, the chief officer of Samsung Electronics!"

Countless microphones, rushed up, and all kinds of problems simply made Samsung's hearts bleed, how to do this.

Before the cooperation is successful, Samsung Electronics' stock is about to dive.
