Huaxin International Headquarters, Conference Room.

"ASML has already given an exact reply, the 7nm-level EUV lithography machine is out of play, not only is this out of play, but we are about to face a complete ban. Negotiations with the Americans have just been concluded, and the other party has demanded that our company must withdraw from the semiconductor industry alliance led by the coastline, otherwise all international cooperation will be interrupted and completely blocked. A senior executive of Huaxin International said solemnly.

The seven or eight executives in charge of the affairs here are very dignified, and the Americans are undisguised hooligans, and if they don't listen to him, they will ban you, and if they say they will be blocked.

And the reason is very simple and rude, Lao Mei has put the coastline company with a reputation of "unjust", and following the coastline is tantamount to aiding and abusive, which is almost what it means, and it will block you for such reasons.

"It's too ruthless, if the Americans really do what they say, our company's business will drop by at least 75%, and it will definitely usher in a large-scale wave of layoffs, and it's hard to say whether it can last for 3 years."

"Chairman, if you don't retire, the company is powerless."

"The price of retreat is also very heavy, and the few patents are equivalent to giving them away."

"What about the other friends?"

"It is estimated that it is about the same, judging from the intensity of the reaction of the Americans, they are determined to break up this team, and most of them are facing the same predicament as us."

"Is it really worth it for us to be buried with the coastline like this?"

"How can it be so easy, if you retreat now, you can't get in, whether you choose to compromise with the Americans, or choose to advance and retreat with the coastline, it may be a fateful crossroads."

"I think that if you compromise with the Americans, you will definitely be scolded in the future and will not be able to raise your head, but no matter which side you choose, you will face huge risks."

"What about HiSilicon?"

"Others may retreat, but HiSilicon will definitely not, I dare to pack a ticket, the behemoth Huawei standing behind HiSilicon, which has also been sanctioned by the Americans, already has antibodies."

The executives at the meeting had a heated discussion, and their opinions were always unanimous, on the one hand, the threat of the Americans to block, and on the other hand, Ye Hua's tempting promises, but he did not have a 100% guarantee that the watermelons could ripen smoothly.

This is undoubtedly a dilemma.

At this time, the CEO of Huaxin International said to the executives attending the meeting: "Reply to the Americans, Huaxin International will not take the initiative to withdraw from the system." ”

Everyone was shocked, and the boss continued: "The Americans are so impatient to dismember this semiconductor club shows that they really feel threatened and afraid, and on the other hand, doesn't it prove the future of this semiconductor alliance?" Wouldn't it be a missed future to retreat? ”

The boss said this, and everyone basically knew.

At this time, Huaxin's boss's mobile phone rang, and after connecting the phone, he suddenly stood in shock: "What did you say?" Are you sure? There was already a breakthrough so soon? Good, good, good!! Great, got it! ”

The executives present were a little stunned and looked at each other, but it must be a good thing to see the boss so excited.

After hanging up the phone, the boss of Huaxin International looked around at everyone and said fiercely: "From now on, whoever dares to mention anything in the future that wants to hug the thighs of the Americans and withdraw from the group, labor and management will let him roll up and leave on the spot." ”

"Uh...... Chairman, what is the good news? An executive couldn't help but ask.

Suddenly, the boss immediately smiled with a fierce face, and said: "Let's put it this way, I won't wait too long, even if I ship their 7nm-level lithography machine over now, I will return it too expensive, and it will be too cheap to be backward." Because, we will soon have our own localized 5nm-scale lithography machine, hahaha. ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

"I'm going to cover my mouth for this!!" The boss said sternly, but the smile on his face was uncontrollable, this time he really bet on the right bet, and it can even be said to be the most successful decision since the establishment of Huaxin International, and other semiconductor friends are estimated to be.

"This time the Americans are going to suffer badly, provoking a monster-level opponent, haha. Lao Mei wants to rebel against the other members of this system, don't think about any of them. ”

……

Indeed, when the Americans were negotiating privately with Huaxin International, other members of the semiconductor alliance, such as Unisplendour, Microelectronics, and Yangtze River Storage, all went to the United States, and with the same conditions and threats, they were determined to dismantle the semiconductor team established by Ye Hua.

But as long as you are not a fool, no one will choose to quit this system at this time, because if you quit the basic semiconductor company, you will have a cool rhythm, because Ye Hua will never allow the existence of two or five boys in the team.

……

A week later, the SIA (American Semiconductor Industry Association) international conference was held urgently in California, and the semiconductor giants from all over the world were present.

The United States includes AMD, Intel, IBM, Nvidia and other well-known industry giants, international members include the United Kingdom's ARM, Germany's Infineon, South Korea's SAMSUNG, SK-hynix (Hynix), etc., the Netherlands' ASML and other 48 industry giants.

Originally, Shin-Etsu Chemical was supposed to be the 49th company in the list, but this company was already a holding subsidiary of Shoreline, so it was naturally excluded from the system.

"Why? Can anyone say why? Why did they all sternly refuse, and why were the 76 integrated circuit manufacturers in China not afraid of the threat of a total ban? What unites them so much? And what gave them such courage? The director of the SIA association broke the quiet atmosphere of the conference hall, but he didn't speak in a big tone, it's all big guys here, you lose your temper with others, and they may turn around and pat their butts and leave.

The bigwigs present were still silent, a week has passed, basically they have talked privately about the 76 companies in Ye Hua's team members, Ye Hua is the boss of Intel called to talk, the result...... Broken!

The other 75 companies that have worked closely with them have sent their heads to talk, and all of them have collapsed without exception, all of them are not in the oil and salt, and the other party will talk to you, but when it comes to asking the semiconductor companies in Huaxia to withdraw from the ICT club system, there is no need to talk.

HiSilicon was sent by Qualcomm and Cisco to talk one after another, but the result was not as they expected, they knew this old rival too well, so the conversation naturally collapsed.

But the other 75 factories all collapsed, which was completely unexpected, and in their expectations, how could they dismember about a third of their alliance system.

As long as 15 companies can withdraw, Ye Hua's team has congenital deficiencies, and then subsequent pressure and promotion can basically strangle the ICT industry club alliance he has engaged in in the cradle.

But the current situation has not been resolved, of course the Americans are furious, the key is that it is still a bit false, the more determined the members of the CSAC are, the more uncertain they are for a while, the biggest variable and the most uncertain for them is Ye Hua and the Coastline Group.

On the one hand, semiconductors are the housekeeping skills of the United States, one of the technologies at the bottom of the box, if it is really so easy to be broken through by your Chinese people, why do you need to go to today?

But on the other hand, a Ye Hua and Coastline Group emerged, and his rise and shock to the world are self-evident.

This leads to the attitude of the Americans towards this matter is both confident and a bit of a hypothetical mentality, the Americans are confident in their semiconductor technology is needless to say, but they will not be blindly confident, after all, the scientific research strength of Yehua Coastline Group cannot be ignored, otherwise it is lying to themselves.

"There is no way back when the matter comes, and we must not allow the new force of CSAC to challenge and threaten the community of interests of ASIA, although the Coastline Group can bring huge profits to all of you here, in the long run, this is to quench your thirst, give up the illusion of this biggest customer."

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"
