October 10th.

Another piece of news came from overseas.

It's still a move made by Elsemed.

Lift the ban on lithography machines.

The company's full range of lithography machine products are all allowed to be sold to Huaguo.

Including the state-of-the-art Model 3800i EUV lithography machine.

And the price of each unit has been reduced from 150 million dollars to 110 million dollars, a price reduction of 26%.

As soon as this news is announced, the destructive and deterrent power is much stronger than the verbal sanctions of a certain country.

Not only did the Huaguo science and technology circle not have joy and excitement, but felt a deep chill, and the coldness penetrated into the bones.

Because this is the real lethal move!

"Yellow mouth tail back needle - poison."

"Don't be fooled! This is the paralyzing ploy of boiling the frog in warm water, the enemy's last killing move, and it is necessary to stay awake and never fall for it. ”

"Esmer's EUV, the profit margin is as high as 44%, and now the price is directly reduced by 26%, leaving only a dozen percent of the profit, it seems that it really intends to fight to the death, with a lower profit margin, in exchange for a monopoly on the entire Huaguo lithography machine market, as long as it survives for a few years, it can still have the last laugh."

"We all know that this is a bright poisonous fruit, a sugar-coated cannonball, and an open ploy of conspiracy to the extent of a conspiracy, but I bet that there will still be Chinese companies willing to eat this poisonous fruit, the price of 110 million knives is too fragrant, only one-third of the price of Tyrannosaurus EUV, and it will soon be mentioned in stock, why not place an order quickly? The hand is fast, the hand is slow, and there is none. ”

"How long has it been since the lockdown was broken? Aren't we learning enough from history? With such a simple trick, how can you be hit again and again, and the fall before is not painful enough? ”

"Hehe, it's useless to say so much, in the past two years, more than 20 chip foundries have been built all over China, and the number has been seriously surplus, and they are all waiting for high-end lithography machines, and now there are cheap and easy-to-use lithography machines to buy, why not import from abroad?"

"The only lesson we have learned from history is that we have not learned any lessons, and a new round of vicious circle has begun, first imported lithography machines to squeeze the market, and then domestic chip production capacity has expanded wildly, high-end chip cabbage, and then there is the involution competition between chip foundries, fighting a price war, after a few years, only a few survived, but they are all big but not strong, the profits are meager, there is no capital to engage in research and development, and the technology gap with foreign countries may be widened."

"Grass! What the hell are we going to do to get out of this damn cycle! Why do you have to compete so hard within yourself? ”

"There's no way, we have a lot of people, and there are many people in industries with a bit of a future."

"I ......"

The atmosphere of the discussion began to become heavy and pessimistic, and a thick haze was shrouded in it.

……

Modu Microelectronics Company.

The company's CEO, Wang Hongsheng, was on the verge of crying.

Elsemai announced the lifting of the ban on sales and allowed the sale of EUV to China, which hit him on the head like a bolt from the blue.

Also hit on the company's stock.

On the same day, the company's stock fell instantly, and countless shareholders sold it one after another.

The reason is very simple, everyone knows it - Modu Microelectronics will definitely die.

In the past two years, Modu Microelectronics, which finally conquered the 28-nanometer lithography machine technology, is not an opponent of Essmed in terms of technology, and there is no advantage in product price, let alone high-end EUV, and it has a trump card that can be used.

As soon as Essmai lifted the ban, it was the first to bear the brunt.

In the normal market competition environment, Modu Microelectronics is as fragile as a piece of paper, with a market value of more than 30 billion, and it will soon become a junk stock.

Help me!

A life-saving straw must be grasped!

Or rather, you have to hold a thigh that you can lean on.

Wang Hongsheng went to Hangzhou on the same day.

……

Black Hole Technologies, Inc.

Inside the conference room.

Looking at the group of people sitting opposite from the Modu Microelectronics Company, all with pleading expressions on their faces, Wei Ming felt a big head for a while.

"Mr. Wang, don't worry, things haven't developed to that point yet, it's useless to panic." Qi Xiong soothed them.

"Life and death are at stake, you can't do it without panic!"

Wang Hongsheng stood up, looked at Wei Ming and said: "Mr. Wei, please take action to buy us, the two companies have merged into one, and the strong alliance in the field of lithography machine will definitely be able to defend the domestic lithography machine market and turn EsMed away!" ”

"Don't, don't."

A senior executive on the side of Black Hole Technology corrected and said: "It is a combination of strength and weakness, not a combination of strength and strength, please do a good job of your own positioning, and do not have the illusion of being a strong person." ”

"Mr. Wei!"

Wang Hongsheng was anxious, looked at Wei Ming and said: "You have to be conscientious in life and work, more than one-third of the employees of your company's lithography machine factory are dug from microelectronics, after the advent of Tyrannosaurus EUV, we took the initiative to support more than 300 talents to come, Mr. Wei, your company's lithography machine talents, almost all of them are trained with the help of my microelectronics, for the sake of this, you should not stand by and watch this matter, you should pull us along." ”

"Mr. Wei, the grace of a drop of water, not to mention the spring reciprocation, but you can't sit back and watch us go out of business, cheap foreign manufacturers, right?"

"Mr. Wang, Black Hole Technology does not mean to be a cold observer."

Wei Ming finally spoke, thought for a while, and said: "In this way, there is no need to acquire you, the two have formed a strategic alliance to share talents and technology, Black Hole Technology is good at some in the field of high-end lithography machines, this can be completely handed over to us, your company has been immersed in the field of low-end lithography machines for a long time, and can also manufacture automatic inspection machines, packaging and other equipment...... You can continue to work on these areas and find what you do best. ”

"But the lithography machine is our main business, and if this piece is dead, our company is basically finished."

"Black Hole Technology can provide you with high-precision parts in the future, as long as it is not a high-end lithography machine, other fields are strongly supported, and we are developing 1 nanometer high-precision machine tools, if you want to be interested, you can send someone to join this project, we provide accommodation and wages."

Wei Ming said that the high-end machine tool business must be grasped in his own hands, and he is very disgusted with homogeneous competition.

"This ...... All right! ”

Wang Hongsheng nodded, the high-end lithography machine is not what his company is good at, but now with the guarantee of black hole technology, with the technical support provided by black hole technology, even if you don't make high-end lithography machines, you can make a lot of money to gnaw on other chip-related equipment, and you can eat meat and drink soup.

Besides!

Wei Ming also announced a murderous new plan, called the "Dog Fight Plan".

That is, after ElseMed released the ban on lithography machines, domestic chip companies, who could not resist the temptation and purchased ElseMed's high-end EUV, immediately entered the "sanctions list" of Black Hole Technology.

In the future, the Tyrannosaurus EUV, high-end machine tools, and other products produced by Black Hole Technology will all be prohibited from being sold to these sanctioned companies, and all possibilities of cooperation will be cut off.

And with Longyao, Blu-ray, Huaxin International, microelectronics and other companies, to form a strategic alliance, that company wants to be a dog, it will be immediately suppressed and targeted, talents may be poached, products are sniped, any future development, under the joint suppression of the strategic alliance, will be difficult to move an inch, survival is extremely difficult.

In the end, there is only a dead end!

This is Wei Ming's response plan.

"Our country is a free market, and we can't stop foreign products from coming in, so we companies will unite by ourselves, concentrate all the advantages of technology, talents, and resources, and destroy those dogs and strangle them in the cradle before the fierce involution competition arrives! Before letting them be lackeys, they become dead dogs. ”

"It's a great idea!"

Wang Hongsheng applauded the case and applauded again and again: "This is the competition between the two scientific and technological systems, and those who want to continue to integrate into the Western scientific and technological system will do it to the death!" If you want to integrate into your own independent technology system, you need to build alliances and support each other, and there is no third way to go. ”

"Although this method is a bit extreme, perhaps only in this way can we avoid a vicious circle, rush to the high-end, and no longer be controlled by others."
