Chapter 336: None of the Good Things, Klootzak!! 【5/10】
Two days later, the SIA headquarters in North America.
"What? Samsung Group announced its withdrawal from SIA? Already announced? ”
John Norver, President and CEO of the Semiconductor Industry Association of North America (SIA), who is responsible for setting and leading the association's public policy agenda and serves as a leading advocate for U.S. leadership in semiconductor design, manufacturing, and research.
The status and role of the CSAC Semiconductor Club Alliance led by Ye Hua are actually almost the same as John Norver's in SIA, except that Ye Hua is not very fond of taking care of things, and CSAC is mainly in charge of the deputy.
But at this moment, John Norver was directly stunned when he got the news from Samsung Group, and then he was furious: "Damn, what does Li Zairong want to do?" Don't even say hello to me? Contact him at once, damn it, damn Koreans! ”
This news made him angry, Samsung Group's withdrawal from SIA is actually nothing, but the key is the timing of his choice to withdraw, and the question of whether he immediately turned his head to CSAC's arms after retiring.
The impact of this matter is too great, because after the PHC2.0 theme conference of Coastline, Ye Hua's CSAC Semiconductor Alliance was looked down upon from the beginning, but it suddenly came to a shocking reversal, and it was directly infinitely optimistic.
No way, the PHC2.0 conference is too shocking.
People who have seen through it will never think that the 2.0 conference is just a commercial conference for the launch of new products, and the more fierce competition behind it is that CSAC challenges the existing SIA industry system pattern, and behind the competition is the dominance and discourse of the global semiconductor industry.
After the PHC2.0 press conference, the world saw that CSAC not only has the ability to challenge the dominance of the North American semiconductor industry, but more importantly, this system was born in Greater China, and Greater China has 60% of the industry's market size. What do even North American companies think?
Obviously, in this tense moment, Samsung jumped out with a very bad head, which is equivalent to telling the world that times have changed subversively, and that there is another option on the planet that is not at all weaker than SIA or even better, and there is still a huge market size of 60%.
John Norford simply had the mind to completely overturn Samsung's headquarters.
……
Netherlands.
ASML Corporate Headquarters, President's Office.
“…… Mr. John Norver, you can absolutely rest assured that my Esmore Company will not be backwater, don't forget that all major friends in North America have shares in our company, and we are a community of interests, well, indeed...... hat? Samsung Group has dived? Damn Koreans...... Well? Ban on Samsung lithography machines? Emmm…… With all due respect, Mr. John Norver, although Samsung jumped back, it is better to win it back, and banning the sale of lithography machines is tantamount to strengthening his camp to join the coastline...... What the? Do you want to gather meetings and consultations? Tomorrow afternoon? Um, OK, OK, no problem, I'll book a ticket for a flight to North America right away, well, goodbye. ”
Peter-ennink, CEO of Esmore Corporation, ended the call with the president of SIA with a smile on his face, but as soon as the phone hung up, Peter's smile on his face stopped abruptly and he cursed in a low voice: "It's not a good thing, Klootzak!!" (The classic Dutch scolding, which probably means bitching)"
At present, the total number of lithography machines in the world is not more than 1,000, and ASML (ASML) ships only a few dozen units per year, and the ban on lithography machines for Samsung is two 5nm-level lithography machines, which is equivalent to making 270 million euros less.
Norver's bastard is light, and Americans aren't a good thing.
As soon as the coastline PHC2.0 theme conference came out, it was annoying, and the Chinese people themselves made a 5-nanometer lithography machine that had made Peter Winnick feel anxious, and now Esmoore also hated the "Wassenaar Agreement", and the ban on coming and going still failed to prevent the Chinese people from breaking through, and over the years, this damn embargo agreement alone has made billions of dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars.
"Come in!" Hearing the knock on the door, Peter Winnick, who was bored in his heart, said coldly, glanced up, and saw the assistant hurriedly coming in, which immediately made him have a bad premonition.
"Boss, big bad news." The assistant said solemnly.
"Tell me, how bad is it?" Peter Winnick sat in the boss's chair with his back to his back and closed his eyes, few of the recent news was good, he was almost tired of hearing it, no matter how bad it was, it could be worse than the news that the Chinese could build 5nm EUV?
It turns out ...
The assistant said cautiously: "BOSS, our business office in Greater China has just received reliable internal information that the single selling price of a 5nm-class EUV lithography machine of Shangdu Microelectronics Company is 350 million RMB, and the production capacity is expected to reach about 10 times that of us. ”
Peter Winnick looked suspicious, and first calculated the real-time exchange rate in his heart.
Only two seconds passed......
Syllable!
The palm hit the office desktop with a loud bang, and Peter Wernick got up angrily from the boss's chair, and instantly roared angrily: "Hua... Summer...... Person! Klootzak! Klootzak! Klootzak!!!! ”
Seeing the boss's mood is like losing his mind, and the assistant also feels trembling.
Peter Wesker was about to be blown up: "How can they sell it so cheaply?" How can they sell it so cheaply? How can they sell so cheaply?? ”
In the face of the BOSS's epic triple question, the assistant was speechless.
The price of a single unit is 350 million yuan, and the real-time exchange rate is 50 million US dollars when converted into US dollars, and now the single price of ASML's 5nm-level lithography machine is 150 million US dollars.
It's a whole 100 million dollars cheaper!!
The Chinese are crazy!
Must be crazy!
It is a full $100 million cheaper than ASML's 5nm-level EUV, and the production capacity is still about ten times, and Peter Wesker is not good, and he can't stop shaking all over.
Is this to push ASML to a dead end?
Peter Wernick finally realized that at the PHC2.0 press conference, Ye Hua announced why the price of a single set of PHC2.0 is so cheap, and microelectronics has cheapened the high-end lithography machine by a full 100 million US dollars, which is no less than an industry earthquake for the global semiconductor industry, because there will be a series of chain reactions, especially the production capacity of microelectronics.
Not strictly speaking, it will quickly increase the production efficiency ratio of the entire high-end chip by ten times, not to mention ten times, five times or even three times.
Standing on a higher pattern, the soaring production capacity of the overall industry of Huaxia Semiconductor will inevitably bring about a reduction in the price of major integrated circuit products, and what will be obtained is a rocket-like surge in international competitiveness.
How did you compete?
The entire semiconductor industry will further radiate to the peripheral industries, and then obtain the improvement of the competitiveness of industrial products in the entire country of China, which is terrifying, Peter Wernick is terrified when he thinks about it, and at this moment he finally realized why Samsung Group is so decisive and quickly jumps back.
At this moment, Peter suddenly woke up and immediately said: "Four things will be done immediately, first, the senior executives above the director level of the company will be summoned for 20 minutes, and the meeting will be held immediately; second, arrange a special plane for me to fly to Huaxia Commercial Capital in the afternoon and cancel the flight to North America; Third, notify the legal department to immediately study the intellectual property law of Huaxiaren, and at the same time prepare to collect the conditions for prosecution, some patents they should not be able to bypass, ready to sue at any time; Fourth, it was immediately announced that the ban on the sale of 5-nanometer lithography machines to the Chinese people was lifted. ”
"Understood! I'll go get ready right away. The assistant first nodded in agreement, then hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say euphemistically: "It's just the boss, this last item...... Constrained by the "Wassenaar Agreement," should we negotiate with the Americans before announcing it? ”
