Chapter 164: Heaven and Hell
When the final end and Qualcomm jointly issued a statement, saying that they jointly manufactured a processor with a 14nm process, it directly shocked the world, and the impact caused was huge, even beyond Su Ji's imagination.
SMIC's 28nm process does not have much impact on the Western camp, plus it is not a pure state-owned enterprise, the equity is chaotic, and even TSMC shares are not a problem. But the 14nm process touches their interests and hegemony.
Under pressure from all sides, the China Embargo Alliance began to thoroughly investigate the source of the final production line, and even summoned several members of the 'final global network studio', although nothing was investigated in the end.
Some developed countries in Europe and the United States are so strange, disdainful of China's development while being cautious. During the U.S. presidential election, you won't be able to win the support of the people without counting a few words about China.
"Rest assured, this Chinese company will inevitably be controlled by a consortium on our side, otherwise they will not be able to get such an instrument. If China wants to overtake us, this is absolutely impossible. A U.S. congressman in the field of semiconductors patted his chest and assured the media and the public.
"Even if they master this process, it is useless, because they don't have the corresponding design, and the core technology is still in our hands. To put it bluntly, they are just working for us, South Korea is like this, Taiwan Island is like this, and China is naturally no different. ”
"In the end, the end of the semiconductor may be just a flash in the day, because they can't get more production equipment through normal channels, and they can't grow like TSMC and Samsung, unless they open up their Western background, or let Western capital in."
The animated film of the Star of War made the final end appear in the eyes of the world for the first time.
The Star War God game makes players around the world realize the power of the end-end.
And this time, although the final end has not yet made any user-oriented products, the heated discussion caused is unprecedented, involving officials, media, netizens, politics, science and technology, and business.
There are even countless conspiracy theories, traitor theories, and China threat theories......
Disappreciative comments. But it is to see through their uneasiness and the importance of this field.
It has been said that the economic impact of semiconductors is no less important than that of energy and no less important than oil. In fact, the European, American and Japanese camps take away no less than trillions of wealth from China every year in the semiconductor field, which is a chicken that can lay eggs, which is why a last-end semiconductor can cause such a big response.
Compared with the sour love of Europe and the United States, the Chinese side on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is naturally excited, and the appearance of the final end finally gives everyone a sigh of relief. But there is no euphoria on the part of Europe and the United States. Because everyone agrees that the final end of the instrument is smuggled from the West, and even the end of the company has the background of European and American forces, it seems that there is nothing to be proud of.
What's more, the final end hasn't grown up yet, maybe it's really just a flash in the county?
Perhaps it is the propaganda of Europe and the United States that has taken effect, making the Chinese people think that this is the case, or it may be an expression of unconfidence, and the Chinese people are full of doubts.
In short, something is better than nothing. That's good news. Only CCTV is more face-saving, and the news broadcast once again appears dozens of seconds of news at the end of the end.
……
But Su doesn't care about these things the most, he only cares about when the order will arrive.
However, compared with the excitement of the outside world, the final semiconductor has ushered in a long period of desertion. I waited for days. Qualcomm didn't move, and the call was delayed for various reasons, but in the end, HiSilicon Semiconductor was first expected.
It can be clearly seen that HiSilicon's camp is not quite the same this time. The specifications are much larger, led directly by He Tingbo, the president of HiSilicon, a middle-aged woman in her forties with short hair.
"Mr. Su doesn't know. TSMC and Samsung have freed up a large part of Apple's A9 orders to Qualcomm yesterday? He Tingbo came up and gave Su the first general.
"......" Su was most stunned and couldn't say a word, his heart was cold more than half a piece, no wonder Qualcomm was very enthusiastic at first, but his attitude these days has become weird, it turns out that Samsung and TSMC have joined forces to curry favor.
"Although Samsung and TSMC are competitors, they obviously hit it off when it comes to joining forces to fight new opponents, not to mention that there are Western forces in the way." He Tingbo sighed, whether it is Samsung or TSMC, they are inextricably linked with Western consortia, and Qualcomm is the same.
Cutting off Qualcomm's order is equivalent to cutting off the lifeblood of the final end, and now the final end can receive business, I am afraid that this is the only HiSilicon family. Unless the end end is willing to put down the shelf and accept other low-end businesses, such as 28, 32 or even 45nm process contracts. But not to mention such overkill, it is even difficult to recover the cost.
"I'm not afraid to explain to Mr. Su, the government has instructed us to give more orders to your company, so that others can make money, it is better to let ourselves earn. However, we have signed a certain number of contracts with TSMC, and the handover of low-end products to SMIC cannot be changed in the short term, and there are currently only more than 2 million 16nm chip orders that can be provided. But this amount is obviously a drop in the bucket for your company. He Tingbo said slowly.
The corners of Su Zhi's mouth twitched slightly after hearing this, this negotiation was too passive, and in the end, everyone here couldn't interject a word.
"But we have also prepared two cooperation plans, one is for Huawei to take a stake in the final end of the semiconductor industry to form a new company, we will tighten external orders within half a year, HiSilicon chips are all manufactured by our own company, and the supply of domestic demand alone is enough to make the factory run benignly and even achieve profitability." He Tingbo looked at Su Zi and said.
“…… Sure enough, it's wolf culture! Su shrugged his shoulders weakly, he didn't think it was right when he heard Liu Dacheng introduce what wolf culture was, but now he finally realized that Huawei has regarded the final semiconductor as a piece of fat.
He Tingbo only smiled lightly when he heard it, the business era is like this, although there are some suspicions of taking advantage of people's danger, but there is nothing wrong with Huawei doing this, it is a good thing for the end and Huawei itself, as long as Su can give it up.
"I'm curious, how much money do you have prepared?" Su asked, tilting his head.
"Ten billion. If Mr. Su is interested, we can negotiate immediately. He Tingbo looked at Su Shi with a smile, very interested. The boss hinted to her that as long as she could get 50% of the shares, the 10 billion could be invested at any time.
“…… What a big deal. Su smacked his tongue secretly, 10 billion seems to be like playing, but his final end is still too far away! Of course, he also understands that Huawei is actually interested in that production line, and the name of the final semiconductor is not worth a penny.
The 12-inch wafer production line, plus the complete set of instruments for the 14nm process, can indeed be worth a lot of money, even if it is second-hand, it will cost more than 10 billion yuan to purchase. To be more precise, you can't do it even if you have money in China.
"What about the second option?" Su asked, he still doesn't like to be shared, and his possessiveness is too strong after all
