Chapter 878: Times Have Changed

"Acquisition of ASML?"

"Does this really work, the semiconductor alliance is not even willing to let us join, even if we buy and control ASML as a company, can we really be accepted?"

"Although ASML has not had a good time lately, they are still a big company, and it may not be easy to acquire them."

"Yes, the time is too short, we only think of this problem now, I'm afraid it's too late to implement it."

"Is ASML really reliable, they are not in a good situation now, even if we buy it, will we be able to change the situation of this company?"

"If we really have a way to get ASML to solve the problem with Nikon, then why don't we let Loongson replace Nikon?"

“……”

As soon as Gu Xiu's words fell, they ushered in everyone's rebuttal.

It's so sudden.

They hadn't even thought about this before, but Gu Xiu suddenly mentioned that he wanted to acquire ASML without warning, which greatly surprised the expectations of everyone present.

What's more, if you think about it, they don't think there is any benefit to acquiring such a company for Loongson.

The first is the question of whether it can be acquired.

Even if the development of ASML in recent years is indeed unsatisfactory, it is barely in the first echelon of semiconductor lithography machine projects.

Is such a company willing to be acquired by a latecomer like Loongson?

And.

The existence of the Wassenaar Treaty is also the biggest problem, in the past ten years, let alone the chip industry, take the manufacturers in the field of lithography machines as an example.

At least 10 bankrupt companies are now in business.

These companies were extremely attractive to the original Dragon Kingdom, and naturally some people thought of acquiring such companies.

But what about the end result?

These companies would rather go bankrupt, go out of business, and sell to Keel, not because people don't like money anymore, but because the Wassenaar Treaty exists to make such acquisitions impossible at all.

So.

Even if it is just a normal acquisition of ASML, to be honest, everyone is not optimistic, not to mention that the time is tight now, and it is too late to complete the acquisition of such a company.

There is a second question.

Even if the acquisition is a success, what happens next?

According to Gu Xiu's idea, Asmael is used to successfully replace Nikon and become a world-class lithography machine factory, so as to control the world's chip technology.

Can......

With the background of the Dragon Kingdom, can ASML really become such a factory? Won't the Semiconductor Alliance stop it? Can ASML be Nikon's successor?

There are many problems in this series.

And every problem is fatal.

In the face of everyone's discussion, Gu Xiu did not participate, did not refute, did not explain, but quietly, waiting for everyone's discussion to be lowered.

"Gu Xiu, since you have proposed these things, you must have thought of a corresponding solution, why don't you talk about it?" Lin Guangyu asked.

Hearing this, the others also fell silent, waiting for Gu Xiu's answer.

"In fact, the problem that everyone said does exist, and it is indeed fatal, but everyone ignores one of the most critical problems."

Gu Xiu finally spoke, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he had already given the answer:

"The current Dragon Kingdom is no longer the Dragon Kingdom of three or five years ago."

"The current Loongson is not a small workshop that needs to catch up but is still ten years behind."

"Technically."

"We've done it, we're on an equal footing with the Alliance, and now the Alliance is ready before we even arrive, why?"

"Because of fear!"

"Fear of the dragon core, fear of the dragon country, fear of your own status is not guaranteed!"

"But this fear is precisely because they know in their hearts that we are no longer the country where they can be bullied by the weak, nor is it a country where they can completely block us from the door with the so-called technological blockade!"

"What does this mean?"

"It means that when all the questions are being thought about, they bring in a precondition."

"That is, we have the strength, the ability, the confidence!"

"It's what they can do, and so can we, the Dragon Kingdom!"

Speaking of this, Gu Xiu looked at everyone, but unfortunately, many people still had a little dazed in their eyes, and Gu Xiu couldn't help but shake his head at this situation.

It's one thing for scientists to have a spirit of inquiry.

But sometimes, they are too research-oriented, and they become so engrossed in scientific research that they ignore some realistic things.

This is actually the norm.

Fortunately.

Not everyone will ignore external factors, at least Liang Sining suddenly thought of what Gu Xiu meant after thinking for a while:

"You mean."

"The technical blockade only exists in the higher dimensions of the low-latitude crushing, and when we came here with Loongson 1 this time, in fact, the so-called technological blockade no longer exists."

"Even if those alliances are unwilling to accept it, but they have already made a plan to accept it in their hearts?"

"That's right!" Gu Xiu nodded: "That's what I'm going to say." ”

What do you mean?

Some people are still full of confusion, but this time Lin Siyuan thought of the key:

"This so-called semiconductor alliance itself is not a united whole, and while everyone keeps other players out of the table, there is actually a high level of competition between them."

"We didn't have the strength before, so they didn't hesitate to stop us out and use all kinds of means to restrict our development."

"And now that we have the strength, they still want to be able to keep us out, because they are afraid of the dragon kingdom, and they are afraid that after we join, we will become sharks in the pool, so they instinctively fear us."

"But if we can dispel their fears about us and that we're going to be sharks, then it's a different story."

"Because they won't turn down a friend who has a lot of potential and can bring them tangible benefits and benefits!"

"We Loongson and Nikon actually want to, because although we are not taking the integrated route, in fact, most of our joints are solved by ourselves, even if it is not Loongson, we can also cooperate with other domestic companies."

"So, a completely modular company like ASML is different, it's easier to control, it's easier to keep everyone safe, and with ASML, we can easily get the support of others."

"And in this alliance, once someone takes the lead in forming an alliance with us and forming friendship, then others will inevitably find a way to pull in the relationship with us and make friends with us as a new player!"

"This is also a combination of vertical and horizontal!"

"All we need is an opportunity, and if we take ASML and come up with technology that can surpass Nikon, and then show the sincerity of being willing to develop and progress together, this opportunity will naturally be delivered to us!"

"As long as it goes well, we can be their allies!"

This is said in sufficient detail, and everyone present is not stupid, and when it comes to this, they naturally understand it instantly.

Today's identity and status of the Dragon Kingdom are different from what they used to be.

There are no eternal friends and enemies in this world, and what the Dragon Kingdom is showing now is the potential to become friends, as long as it shows the sincerity and potential to become friends.

In the next conference, there will naturally be people who propose to let the Dragon Kingdom join the alliance!

The same is true for ASML's acquisition.

In the past, if you wanted to buy a similar company, to put it bluntly, you were going for that company's technology.

In this case, the alliance will naturally refuse.

After all, God knows if the Dragon Kingdom will use those technologies to pose a threat to them.

But now it's different.

The threat is already there.

At this time, to buy ASML is not to plagiarize technology, but to make it clear that you want to join forces.

Either continue to be threatened, and perhaps even banned.

Either.

Pull them in!

Under such circumstances, many people will naturally turn a blind eye to such acquisitions.

Even.

If the acquisition is successful, people will immediately come up to make friends and throw an olive branch.

Figure it out.

Everyone present looked at Gu Xiu's gaze, and instantly became strange.

This child.

Really only ten years old?

This is no longer a matter of IQ, this is something that will only come to mind after the analysis of the current situation and the ultimate control of people's hearts!

I couldn't help it, and an idea popped up in everyone's hearts.

This child.

In the future, I am afraid that it will not only be as simple as being a scientist who will gain something in the field of science.

The path he can take in the future.

I'm afraid it will be more than I imagined!
