Chapter Ninety-Three: The End of the First Year!
If you've been to the streets of Tokyo during the Christmas season, you'll find that the festive atmosphere here is no worse than that of Europe or the United States.
The same Christmas tree, the same jingling bells, and Santa Claus wearing a red Santa hat, the only difference is probably the people with black hair and black eyes on the streets.
President Kumaichi Takeda had a great holiday life, taking his wife and daughter to Hokkaido for skiing, and in Otaru, he also tasted delicious king crab and the famous Sapporo craft beer.
As soon as Takeda returned to his office after the holiday, Secretary General Makoto Tanibe sent him the latest information, which was like a slap in the face, and President Takeda was dizzy.
During the Christmas period, domestic manufacturers did not have a holiday, and they continued to attack cities and land in the country.
There was news from the Huaxia headquarters that the last customer of Shin-Etsu Chemical, Tianma Display, had officially made a decision not to renew the contract with Shin-Etsu Chemical.
At this point, Shin-Etsu Chemical fell in all its parts of China.
Starting next year, their share of the photoresist market in Huaxia will drop from 14% to zero.
Takeda Kumaichi felt his hands trembling, Shin-Etsu Chemical, which was founded in 1926 and has a history of nearly 100 years, was unexpectedly cleared in the Chinese market! Cleared!
This is simply a humiliating fiasco of throwing off armor, and if it had been put in the past, President Takeda would probably have to cut his stomach to apologize.
Makoto Hasebe lowered his voice, "President, not only us, but other manufacturers have also lost the Huaxia market, this morning, TOK and Mitsubishi Chemical, have officially announced that they will all withdraw their personnel in Huaxia to the headquarters, I believe that it will not be long before other manufacturers will take the same countermeasures." ”
This news made President Takeda a little relieved, and it was not only himself who failed, but other giant companies also failed.
"Forget it, at least we still have neon, Wanwan, South Korea, the United States, the four major markets, as far as the world is concerned, Huaxia's photoresist consumption only accounts for 35 percent, and there are still 65 percent of the broad market, which needs us to operate." Kumaichi Takeda said.
When the words fell, he saw Secretary General Makoto Tanibe's expression distorted, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Bastard!" Takeda Kumaichi roared, "Why is this expression, do you have something to hide from me!?" ”
Hasebe was frightened, so he had to tell the president the truth, "Thirty minutes ago, Intel Corporation announced that it had reached a strategic cooperation with Xingchen Technology to fully adopt the new fully synthetic photoresist produced by Xingchen Chemical. ”
What the!?
Takeda Kumaichi jumped up from the sofa directly, and during his Christmas in Hokkaido, Xingchen Technology actually took down the semiconductor giant Intel!?
Who is Intel?
The benchmark of the semiconductor industry, the whole world is using Intel's CPU and North-South Bridge chips, they are the most powerful semiconductor group on the planet!
Xingchen Technology actually won Intel?
OMG!
Takeda Kuma felt a splitting headache, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he fell heavily towards the sofa behind him.
......
At the end of December, with the strongest player in the field of photoresist in China, Xingchen Technology began to make a move, and the New Year's offensive around semiconductor consumables finally entered the final climax.
When the news came out on December 28, when the news that Xingchen Technology officially became a global supplier of Intel Corporation, the technology circle exploded completely, and countless colleagues engaged in the semiconductor industry even shed tears of excitement.
"Xingchen Technology actually took down Intel? It's too good, isn't it? ”
"Fully synthetic modified photoresist? This should be considered the seventh level, right? ”
"Almost, Xingchen Technology is worthy of being the toughest guy in the Huaxia science and technology circle, there is no seventh-level photoresist in the world, Xingchen Technology made one for him!"
"For the first time in history, domestic semiconductor upstream consumables are directly supplied to the world's top manufacturers! Be sure to have a good drink tonight! ”
Major professional forums instantly exploded, and even Weibo and WeChat also appeared to discuss the voice.
Although most of the onlookers don't know the difference between photoresist and rubber, who doesn't know Intel and can supply Intel, it must be very good.
The most painful thing is the 17 giant companies that originally ruled the photoresist field.
They have just been abused by the four major domestic factories led by Xinyang in the Huaxia region, and they have spent Christmas with a huff, and when they look back, they are all dumbfounded, and the base camp has been copied by Xingchen Technology!
The significance of Intel is not just a factory, but an industry benchmark!
Even the photoresist that Intel is using, saying that the quality of Xingchen Technology's photoresist must be so good that it is irresistible.
As more and more news comes out, the fact that Xingchen Technology's photoresist can increase the yield rate by 2% has directly made the global semiconductor factories explode.
Now it is no longer a matter of accepting or not accepting Xingchen Technology as a supplier, but the major semiconductor factories, begging Xingchen Technology to supply as soon as possible!
In the case of such fierce competition, the yield rate is two percent lower than others, which will be fatal!
On December 29, Xingchen Technology won the North American semiconductor giant, Texas Instruments.
On December 30, TSMC, the world's largest semiconductor foundry giant, announced that it had signed a contract with Xingchen Technology.
For a time, the toughest guy in the Chinese science and technology industry attacked wildly, and everywhere it passed, it was as unstoppable as a torrent of steel, quickly sweeping the global semiconductor consumables market!
The 17 international giants have been hit hard in a row.
In the high-end market, Xingchen Technology is like a bamboo.
In the mid-end and low-end markets, there are also four major domestic factories led by Xinyang.
It's an all-out offensive from the top end to the low end!
It's terrible, Huaxia manufacturers have gone from 80,000 yuan a ton of low-end photoresist to 1 million yuan a ton of fully synthetic modified photoresist, seven grades, all of them!
Among the five major manufacturers, Xingchen Technology does not need to be mentioned, they specialize in the most high-end products and plunder the largest profits in the market.
The combat effectiveness of the other four major factories is also leveraged, their quality comes from the patents and technologies of Xingchen Technology, and the price is the traditional cabbage price of Chinese manufacturers.
The once invincible industry giants suddenly discovered that they can't beat Xingchen Technology at the high-end now, and the price can't compete with Xinyang, Boyue, Ruihong, and Kechuang.
Overnight, it reached the point of completely withdrawing from the industry!
In fact, they have already calculated, considering the factors of international relations, the major semiconductor factories will still give a certain share to traditional manufacturers, although the windfall profits have been ended, but the market can still leave a part, so as not to be completely overturned by the five tigers of China.
What is really uncomfortable is the major chaebols in South Korea.
Samsung, LG, Hynix, they once let go, they will not use the photoresist of Huaxia manufacturers when they die, and now the fully synthetic modified photoresist of Xingchen Technology has been born, and they are anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Go to Xingchen Technology, people don't necessarily give face.
If you don't ask for it, you can see that your yield rate is lagging behind your peers, the cost is high, and you are gradually falling into the upper hand in global competition.
So far.
Dow, DuPont, Huntsman, JSR, Shin-Etsu, Tokyo Applied Chemical, Fujifilm, Sumitomo, TOK, Mitsubishi Chemical, Asahi Kasei, Hitachi Chemical, Nippon Steel Chemical, Sun Ink, LG Chem, Dongjin Chemical, Morton Chemical.
The domination of the 17 giants in the photoresist industry has officially come to an end.
The white horse flies, and time flies.
In the crazy offensive planned by Xingchen Technology, in the chaos of chickens and dogs jumping in the scientific and technological world.
The old days are slowly coming to an end.
In the new year, the sun still rises in the east.
