Chapter 881: Reactions from all sides
In the afternoon of the same day, the news from ASML quickly appeared in the relevant newspapers.
"The well-known lithography machine manufacturer ASML changed hands, Philips was short of funds, and in desperation, it sold all the shares of ASML, and the investment company from Longguo officially became the new owner of ASML."
"ASML's acquisition was quickly concluded and it was announced that the technology had broken through to 132
mīŧ â
"Is the technology that surpasses Nikon real or fake, and how did ASML manage to quickly get rid of Nikon?"
"The change of ASML's equity is not over, Longguo Loongson holds 10% of ASML's shares and has become one of ASML's shareholders, has the Longguo chip field risen?"
"The big move of the dragon country has begun, Loongson announced that the lithography technology has caught up with Nikon, and ASML also announced a technological breakthrough after being acquired by the dragon country, is there a connection between this?"
ââĻâĻâ
After all, now that the global semiconductor conference is just around the corner, there are countless news about major semiconductor companies, especially magazines and newspapers related to the semiconductor field, and they are eager to make a big news every day.
In this case.
ASML's news is super heavy news for all kinds of media, and it is natural to be eager to broadcast it around the world with a loudspeaker 24 hours a day.
People in the media want to attract attention.
And for the relevant people and companies in the semiconductor field, this is indeed a super industry earthquake!
"Damn, what's going on, why is this happening?"
"The Dragon Kingdom has managed to take Asmir, damn Philips, has we forgotten our previous agreement?"
"How do they feel about selling the company and selling it to the Dragon Kingdom, we didn't even know about it before, and we only saw the news from media reports!"
"Hell, this is a blatant breach of the Wassenaar Treaty, and we must sanction them, make them pay, and make them understand that this is a breach of the treaty!"
In a conference room, a middle-aged man wearing thick-rimmed glasses was spitting and scolding.
But here's what's interesting.
For the man's angry scolding, the other people's faces were a little strange, from beginning to end, no one agreed with anyone, everyone seemed to be out of the world.
Faced with this situation, the man with glasses couldn't help but say:
"Don't you want to say something?"
"We are the Alliance!"
"Philips used to be our allies, but now they have blatantly violated the alliance's agreement, which is tantamount to betrayal, do you want to remain silent?"
That's right.
Sitting here is none other than the current leading semiconductor alliance, which has complex membership.
It's complicated, not just because they're the top companies in the entire semiconductor-related field, but also because they represent different countries and teams behind them.
And the man who has always been particularly indignant is Nikon Lithography, which represents the world's top lithography machine technology today, and the person in charge is Pingkou Kuaidou.
At this time, accompanied by the questioning of Pingkou Kuaito, the other people present who were originally looking at their noses and noses.
There is no way to be silent at this time:
"It does make sense, Philips is too much, according to the treaty, we have priority, they want to sell ASML, they should sell it to us, how can we sell it?"
"This ...... If I'm not mistaken, last year, Philips said they were interested in selling ASML's shares, but it seems that everyone is not willing to accept it, right? Someone couldn't help but reply:
"And, if I'm not mistaken, they said it again last month, as if to say that their company's financial business was sniped by others, and the losses were not small, and even affected the company's normal capital flow."
"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Hiraguchi, you said you were interested, and I thought that the new owner of Asml would be you in the end, but I didn't expect it to be from the Dragon Kingdom."
These words made everyone look at each other.
Flatmouth Kaito also looked stunned, thinking about it carefully, it was true that when Philips wanted to sell ASML, he did ask them, and Hirakou Kaito did show interest.
But......
He was backed by a giant like Nikon, and he really didn't look down on ASML, so at that time, he was just a reporter looking for prices.
After the other party made an offer, he completely ignored it.
"But they can't sell it to the Dragon Kingdom!"
"The Dragon Kingdom is a company that we have discussed before to unanimously target, how can they do such a thing and cooperate with our enemies, what is this?"
Hiraguchi Kaito said with some annoyance, and his face was full of unhappiness: "They are betraying, this is betraying us, we should give them some color!" â
"It's the same with ASML, we need to sanction this company, let them know how good we are, and let them completely scrap it!"
"By the way, it's the same with the dragon core in the dragon country, they are a company that relies on plagiarism and bragging, this group of dragon people like Indians, they all like to brag, we can't believe their words."
"Get them out, this industry doesn't allow any dragon people to get involved!"
These words are filled with righteous indignation.
But it's a pity that Hiraguchi Kaito, who usually gets support immediately after saying this, found out.
This time.
No one seems to support themselves.
Turning his head to look at everyone, Pingkou Kuaidou suddenly sank in his heart.
This is the case......
Something is wrong!
Sure enough, just as the bad feeling in his heart rose, he saw a man speak:
"Actually, I think that although the Dragon Kingdom is unexpected this time, if they really master that kind of technology, it's not impossible to let them join."
What?
Pingkou Kuaidou's heart suddenly sank, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he saw that someone next to him had already spoken first:
"Impossible!"
The man spoke, and Hiraguchi Kaito breathed a sigh of relief, at least it showed that there were still people on his side.
But this breath has just been relieved.
And he saw that the man had already said:
"No matter how strong the technology of the Dragon Kingdom is, it really got 170 when we didn't know it
m, but how could it be so easy to make ASML's technology break through 132
mīŧ â
"It's impossible, it's not logical, I think they're exaggerating the facts, it's impossible to really do it to this extent."
"Of course, if they can really do it, it's not impossible to let this group of dragons join our alliance, after all, we really need such technology."
Groov!
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, his heart suddenly hung up, but what made him even more ugly was that the other people on the side also spoke to each other:
"I also think that the possibility of exaggeration is very high, their technological breakthrough is too fast, even more than expected, but I also support that if their technology really reaches it, it is not impossible to pull them into the alliance."
"ASML is still good, if this company announces such news, then it should not be very likely to lie."
"Actually, I wanted to say before, I like to deal with the Dragon Country, they are more pragmatic and more efficient at the same time, if I can cooperate with them, I will not refuse."
ââĻâĻâ
As soon as you say a word, it seems that the matter of the Dragon Kingdom joining the alliance has been determined in the blink of an eye.
As for ASML, it was actually acquired by the Dragon Kingdom.
It's not so important......
