Chapter 104: The Gathering of Storms
November 11th.
Alibaba's Singles' Day shopping carnival is coming as scheduled.
But many people are looking at the Galaxy Technology conference in the afternoon.
Galaxy Technology 2016 Building (29 floors), the first floor is a huge press conference hall.
The press conference hall, which can accommodate about 3,000 people, is overcrowded at this time.
Players in the semiconductor industry at home and abroad gathered together, including domestic Huawei, Zhongxin, Unisplendour Spreadtrum, Huada Semiconductor, Huaxin International, Hua Hong Semiconductor and so on.
Taiji, UMC, VIS in the East Island, Lijing, ASE Group, MediaTek and so on.
Foreign Sanxin, Qualcomm, Sydney, NVIDIA, Texas Instruments, GF, Hightower Semiconductor, Micron, Intel and so on.
There are also five weak chickens on silicon wafers such as Shin-Etsu and LG that have been beaten by neutron stars.
and the entrenched ASML company.
It can be said that if a bomb blows up here, tomorrow the world's semiconductor industry will be in chaos.
Because this time it is not only the executives of these companies who came, but also more than 200 domestic and foreign semiconductor experts and researchers.
Next to Wheat's Rebus is Meizu's Huang Zhan.
"Lao Lei, your wheat has been beautiful lately!" Huang Zhan said enviously and hatefully.
The corners of Rebus's mouth rose, wheat sales have risen sharply in the world this year, and as of Double 11, a total of 97.5 million units have been sold, if it weren't for Cook's shameless use of Thor batteries, wheat would have exceeded 100 million units this year.
As of Double 11, the sales volume of various mobile phone manufacturers in Dongtang has spent 153 million mobile phones, 97.5 million wheat mobile phones, 52.6 million VO mobile phones, 49.9 million Opai mobile phones, 32.8 million Meizu and 24.7 million Gionee......
Sydney is 157 million units and Sanxin is 210 million units.
It can be seen that if Sanxin does not change its strategy as soon as possible, the first place position may not be guaranteed next year; In addition, the gap between the sales volume of Sydney and Huawei is already very small, and the difference between the two sides is only about 4 million units.
However, Sydney's profits are still the highest in the world.
However, as the shadow behind these mobile phone manufacturers, Raytheon Group is the real big winner, Sydney Company alone, which contributed a net profit of 6.7 billion US dollars to Raytheon Group this year.
Other domestic mobile phone manufacturers contributed 21 billion yuan of net profit to Raytheon Group.
Together with the revenue from other digital products and power batteries and storage batteries, Raytheon Group has made a cumulative profit of 92 billion yuan in the battery business as of November.
In order to reasonably avoid taxes, Raytheon Group has significantly increased employee wages and scientific research expenditures.
Raytheon Group is a key high-tech enterprise and enjoys a preferential tax rate of 15%, so this year, the battery business alone will pay 10.3 billion yuan of corporate income tax, plus 12.4 billion yuan of value-added tax (17%).
A total of 22.7 billion yuan in taxes, which is the battery business alone, Raytheon Group has paid so much, which shows how terrifying the overall revenue and profits of Galaxy Technology will be, of course, the tax is also very terrifying.
……
Huang Zhan and Rebus were chatting without a word.
Not far away, Cui Fengtong and Li Fuzhen, as well as Lu Lei, president of Sydney Greater China, are also talking.
However, looking at Lu Lei's face, the two sides were not happy.
"Mr. Lu, didn't your Sydney company say that it would never cooperate with Galaxy Technology?" Cui Fengtong said sarcastically with a smile.
"Huh! We haven't talked about such a thing! Lu Lei opened his eyes and said nonsense.
Anyway, the announcement at that time did not name names, and Sydney refused to admit it, so she was shameless.
"Haha! Raytheon Battery's Bear battery! It's not a Thor battery, is it?" Cui Fengtong said the opposite with a smile.
"Humph! Better than some companies that sell patents! Luray was also unceremoniously ironic.
"Cooperation is a win-win situation, we are just a reasonable deal." Li Fuzhen said suddenly.
"I hope you don't raise tigers!" After Lu Lei finished sneering, he turned his head and ignored Sanxin's people.
……
Representatives of Intel and ASML are also whispering.
"Andrew! Do you think their 5nm chip production line is real or fake?" The Intel representative asked with a frown.
Andrew Shaken, the representative of ASML, said: "I don't believe that there is no ASML lithography machine in the world, and no one wants to develop a 5-nanometer chip production line." ”
Despite the arrogance of Andrew's words, the Intel representative nodded: "I don't believe it either, unless they invented atomic manipulation technology!" ”
"Atomic manipulation technology? No kidding, they're just guys who just cut off their braids, and it's impossible to give them another hundred years. Andrew scoffed.
"Haha! Later, let's see how Galaxy Technology achieves 5nm! Let's hope it's not 5 centimeters! Intel representatives laughed.
More than a dozen people around him also burst into laughter.
If it weren't for Galaxy Technology's super silicon wafer technology, Intel wouldn't even want to send people over.
Among foreign companies, Sanxin has the highest specifications, a president and a vice president, and the other companies are all domestic branches of Dongtang or heads of Asia.
……
Mr. Ren of Huawei and Zhang Haijun of Huaxin International couldn't help frowning when they heard the words of Intel's representative.
"These megalomaniacal guys!" Zhang Haijun scolded.
"Defuse it! I hope they see the 5nm chip production line of Galaxy Technology and don't be afraid! Although Mr. Ren didn't know how Galaxy Technology completed the research and development of the 5nm chip production line.
But Hua Weike has personally tested the chips sent by Galaxy Technology, and the production technology of 5-nanometer chips must be owned by Galaxy Technology.
It's just that whether it's a laboratory or a mass-produced one, he doesn't know.
"Lao Ren, are you so sure that Galaxy Technology has the production technology of 5nm chips?" Zhang Haijun asked curiously.
Mr. Ren nodded: "Huang Haojie is in the first batch of invitations, with a chip. ”
"A chip? Is it 5 nanometers?" Zhang Haijun asked hurriedly.
"That's right, it's a 5-nanometer chip with 13 billion transistors integrated into it, and the performance is equivalent to 15 billion transistors." Mr. Ren replied in amazement.
"So exaggerated? It's been taped out! After Zhang Haijun listened, his mood was quite complicated.
After all, if Galaxy Technology really has 5nm chip production technology, Huaxin International and Galaxy Technology will become competitors.
"What? Frightened by Galaxy Technology?" Mr. Ren saw Zhang Haijun, whose face was complicated, and hurriedly eased the atmosphere.
"It's not scared, if they knew they had 5 nanometers, they wouldn't be able to sleep!" Zhang Haijun glanced at it with his eyes, and not far away was laughing at the Intel representative of Galaxy Technology.
"That's right!" Mr. Ren knows the strength of Huaxin International, and it can only be regarded as the third echelon in the semiconductor foundry industry at most.
And Huawei doesn't matter, if Galaxy Technology has 5nm chip production technology, Huawei should be the happiest.
After all, there are top chip manufacturing companies in China, so Hua Wei doesn't have to worry about being stuck.
Don't think that Taiji Electric will not be a ghost, after all, Taiji Electric is a large consortium controlled by Mi Lijia and the Great West Alliance.
The top six shareholders are: 20.78% of the shares held by the special account of the Bunting Custody Taiwan Base Depository Receipt; The East Island Country Growth Fund will hold 6.38% of the shares; JPMorgan Xiaotong custody of the special investment account of the Central Bank of Saudi Camel holds 3.1%;
Bunting (East Island) Trade Bank is entrusted with the special investment account of the Lion City State Authority, holding 2.29% of the shares; J.P. Morgan Xtome Custodian Abu Dhabi Investment Authority Investment Account holds 1.39%; JPMorgan X-Chase managed the West Continent Pacific Development Fund, David Fisher and other special accounts hold 1.17% of the shares.
The top seven to top ten shareholders are: Guotai Minan Life Insurance Co., Ltd. holds 1.16%; J.P. Morgan Chase Bank East Island Branch is under trusteeship and holds 1.07% of the shares held by the special investment account of APG Emerging Markets Equity Matching Fund; Standard Chartered Bank's Van Gard Emerging Markets Equity Index Fund held 0.95%; Standard Chartered Custody isare MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund Investment Account holds 0.94% of the shares.
The proportion of foreign capital is very large, and it is a major shareholder, which increases the uncertainty.
Therefore, if there is a top chip manufacturing company in China, you can avoid being stuck in the neck of crooked nuts.
