Across the ocean.

Dome Shizhou, the headquarters of the Pioneer Group.

The night is dark, and a few stars of different light and darkness are scattered on the towering skyscrapers, gradually fading the hustle and bustle of the day.

Anita stepped on elegant and intellectual high heels, walked briskly to the door of the CEO's office, and reminded in a loud voice:

"Mr. Harold, the management is all in place, and the meeting can start at any time."

"Is the head of Risk Management and Strategic Investments here?"

Harold asked as he put down the papers in his hand and looked up.

"On the way here, it's expected to take another 15 minutes."

Anita replied immediately.

"OK, inform down, the meeting will be held promptly at 23 o'clock."

Harold thought for a moment and commanded directly.

"Yes, Mr. Harold!"

The female assistant nodded.

When the other party turned to leave, Harold suddenly frowned and cursed secretly, it was really disturbing to have a meeting so late.

Faced with Tim's conundrums, he can't choose to turn a blind eye.

Whatever decision is made, it has the potential to affect the core interests of the board.

After all, Pinghua's current market value is as high as 600 billion US dollars, and Vanguard Group owns 7.6% of the shares, ranking firmly as the largest shareholder.

This is a holding asset of nearly 50 billion US dollars, and if it is not handled carelessly, the stock price will fluctuate, and the investment value will be reduced, which will cause serious stage losses for Vanguard.

According to Pinghua's 2015 Q3 quarterly financial report, sales in Dahua fell by 5% in the quarter, which was lower than market expectations; The supply of products in North Berry and Europe is insufficient, and the growth rate is limited.

In just half a year, the market value of Apple Confectionery has plummeted from $770 billion at the beginning of the year, evaporating $170 billion.

In the next step, no one dares to bet on whether it will fall below the 600 billion mark!

Thinking of this, Harold stood up, straightened his tie, and walked straight to the conference room.

"I'm sorry, and I don't want to disturb your dreams, but this matter is relevant to everyone!

I need to collect more than half of the shareholders' opinions to make accurate decisions. ”

Harold looked at the delegates and said in a deep voice.

Among these people, most of them, like him, are serving the consortium behind them, and the real bigwig-level characters are naturally drinking wine at the moment, hugging left and right, and enjoying life.

"I think it doesn't hurt to hand over Pinghua's chip foundry business to Shanhai Microelectronics, and it is more in line with the company's comprehensive interests to maintain the market share of mobile phones."

Vice President Paul was the first to speak.

At that time, the market value of Gulf Semiconductor was only 100 billion US dollars, and compared with Apple Confectionery, it was clear which was more important than the other.

Even if we lose this chip foundry order, relying on the strong energy and network of Pioneer Group, we can still make up for it in the cooperation between Intel, AND, Drifting Technology and Ford.

"I agree with Paul's suggestion!"

A shareholder representative said.

"I'm against it!"

Another shareholder representative said in a loud voice.

After seeing everyone's eyes converge, he then added: "Shanhai Microelectronics is challenging our right to speak in the semiconductor industry, and it is by no means a simple artificial intelligence licensing dispute. ”

The shareholder representative looked fierce and said with a stern expression.

“Shit！ Put away your stupid thoughts,

Harold couldn't help but scold.

About 90% of China's chips rely on imports, with an annual purchase amount of more than 200 billion US dollars, and most of the chip exporters have been injected by the Pioneer Group.

Lose some chip foundry orders, they don't care!

If it causes China to significantly reduce chip imports, it will make their hearts ache.

"I think it's not impossible to accept the authorization fee of 400 Chinese dollars, which is only 64 US dollars, and the user's perception is not high when added to the front-end price."

Another shareholder representative jumped out to give his opinion.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and no one could convince the other, and gradually, the quarrel became louder and louder.

"Vote! The minority obeys the majority, and there is no point in continuing the discussion. ”

Harold said with a final word.

He also wanted to go home early and take a look at his cute little daughter who was sleeping, and it was a complete waste of his life to talk to these people.

"I'm for it! Replace the global license of Moss intelligent voice system with OEM order! ”

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

“……”

"Delegates who agree to pay a hefty licensing fee, please raise your hand!"

"I agree!"

“……”

Harold looked around and asked Anita to count the results of the vote, and within a few moments, everyone's thoughts were gathered.

Looking at the proportions of "June Fourth", his tightly knit brows were finally completely relaxed.

The other side.

Bedley Asset Management Co., Ltd. also held an emergency meeting overnight to respond to the requirements for future technology cooperation.

……

Lu Lei sat in his office, anxiously waiting for Tim's call back.

Three hours have passed, and there is still no movement on the phone on the table.

Chen Heyu was already impatient to wait, and sent someone to urge him several times, and when he learned that Deem was still in the process of communicating and discussing, his face turned dark, and he wanted to leave immediately.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and the group was hungry.

"Crunch!"

Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and Lu Lei walked in with a solemn expression and slowly sat back in his position.

"Mr. Chen, President Dim agreed to authorize Pinghua's global chip foundry business to Shanhai Microelectronics."

Lu Lei announced sonorously and forcefully, but his expression was somewhat aggrieved.

Chen Heyu's eyes lit up, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, he was able to win this cooperation order, which was regarded as avenging the Wanji Corporation, but Ping Confection, the "big resentment", did not agree to the "blackmail" authorization price, and was inevitably a little disappointed.

"Happy cooperation, let's communicate the OEM price first."

He smiled lightly, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said lightly.

"The single chip price of the 8-inch wafer is 8,600 US dollars, and the 12-inch is 15,400 US dollars, and I hope that Mr. Chen can give a reasonable price."

Lu Lei couldn't help but remind, for fear that Chen Heyu would open his mouth again.

That's the benefit of mastering the precision chip manufacturing process!

The price of a single chip in the 28nm process is only a little more than 5,000 US dollars, and when it is the turn of 16nm, it will skyrocket by 70% in an instant, which is a proper profiteering industry.

In 2024, the foundry price of 28-nanometer chips has fallen to $3,000.

In the semiconductor industry, it's always a winner-takes-all!

If Chen Heyu wants to continue to make a fortune in the chip field, he must maintain a leading position in the process.

"Mr. He, show Mr. Lu the sincerity of Shanhai Microelectronics."

He turned sideways and commanded He Tingbo.

"Yes, boss! Mr. He, this is Shanhai Microelectronics' OEM quotation for the 16nm process, please take a look. ”

He Tingbo nodded, motioned to the assistant on the side, and handed over a paper document.

"What?! The processing cost of an 8-inch wafer is only 8,400 US dollars, and a 12-inch wafer is only 15,000 US dollars? ”

Lu Lei's eyes glared at the boss, with a surprised expression, and he was stunned in place.

It doesn't seem like much of a difference, but you must know that the yield rate of Shanhai Microelectronics is 4.5% higher than that of Bay Semiconductor Company, plus the concession of 200-400 US dollars for a single wafer, which is equivalent to the cost of Apple Conduce's chip processor can be reduced by about 6%.

Based on last year's shipments, at least $300 million can be saved!

"Did Mr. Lu forget? As I said, I came this time with sincerity. ”

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

This quotation is completely trying to press the bay semiconductor company, lower foundry costs, higher yield rate, as long as you are not stupid, you know how to choose.

"What about licensing fees?"

Lu Lei asked.

"140 Chinese dollars per unit, and a treatment for Rice Technology."

Chen Heyu pondered for a few seconds, and when he saw Lu Lei's anxious face, he replied unhurriedly.

"Thank you, I promised this condition on behalf of the headquarters, there is a production capacity gap of about 20 million A9 chips in the Q4 quarter, Shanhai Microelectronics will undertake this order first, and the formal cooperation will take effect in 2016."

Lu Lei said with a smile, and the boulder in his heart was gently put down, expressing Pinghua's sincerity by the way.

"No problem."

Chen Heyu said.

Staff from both sides then proceeded to the process of meeting and negotiating the details of the contract, including terms such as product specifications, delivery schedules, volumes and prices, intellectual property protection agreements, quality control and testing, changes and dispute resolution.

……

Golden autumn October.

Xiao Yang's new movie "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" was released, and it won 170 million box office on the first day, which is menacing!

However, Chinese netizens are obviously more concerned about the dynamics of Shanhai Microelectronics at this time.

Shanhai Microelectronics officially announced to the outside world: thoroughly master the mature 16nm production process!

This means that the level of domestic chip manufacturing is infinitely close to the world-class level, and the mid-to-high-end market has been bought.

Moreover.

Starting from the fourth quarter, Shanhai Microelectronics will provide foundry services for Apple Confectionery and MVIDIA, and from 2016, it will fully replace Gulf Semiconductor and become the largest chip supplier of Apple Confectionery and MVIDIA.

"Thank you! People in a beautiful country, just got off the plane, according to the grapevine, Wanji played a trick behind the scenes, obstructing Shanhai Microelectronics from purchasing advanced production equipment, which attracted Shanhai's revenge. ”

"People are washing dishes abroad, and I heard the niece and daughter-in-law of my second uncle and grandmother say that this news is 99% true."

"I don't know if Zhang Zhimou will regret provoking Shanhai Microelectronics, this wave down, Bay Semiconductor Power directly lost 30% of the order."

“……”

Netizens who were forced to discuss it fiercely, only felt that they breathed a sigh of relief, Huaguo's semiconductor industry has always been in the low-end market, and it can only survive in the field with very low profit margins.

This time, he won the big orders of the two technology giants in one fell swoop, which made the pride of the Chinese people lift, and they all rushed to tell each other.

With the recruitment information of Shanhai Microelectronics going viral on the Internet, a large number of outstanding graduates of electronic engineering, integrated circuits, computer engineering, materials science, physics, optoelectronics and nanotechnology choose to go to Shanghai, regarding Shanhai Microelectronics as the leader of Huaguo Semiconductor.

With the rapid expansion of the number of employees, Shanhai Microelectronics has successively established three R&D centers of design, manufacturing, packaging and testing to absorb outstanding talents from all over the industry.

Huaxin International, Jiangdian Technology, and even Hucheng Microelectronics have a large number of employees who have left and joined Shanhai Microelectronics.

Who can not be tempted by the face of 3-5 times higher preferential treatment?

What's more, Xie Shengdong and Wu Maozhe's sales dividends were also exposed, taking Ping Confection's orders as an example, the two easily earned 50 million US dollars a year.

This income is endless!

It is enough to kill 90% of the annual income of the CEOs of listed companies, pointing out the development direction for world-class chip talents.

Who can not love this?

The transparent and verifiable treatment rules have made some overseas practitioners envious, and after inquiring and figuring out the reliability of the news, they also moved the idea of returning to China for development.

……

"The company will coordinate with Bedley to let Inter and AND add a part of the OEM orders to make up for the loss of the Bay Semiconductor Company."

Anita informed.

"I see, thanks."

Zhang Zhimou said dejectedly, a mouthful of turbid air blocked in his heart, and he felt a faint pain.

"I still underestimate him!"

The loss of two of the core customers of Bay Semiconductor Company made him worried.

If Shanhai Microelectronics goes further, it will not only be the Bay Semiconductor Company that will be threatened, but Lianhua and Globalfoundries will also lose a large amount of market share.

"Help me book a plane ticket to a beautiful country."

After Zhang Zhimou made up his mind, he was ready to continue fighting with Chen Heyu, and he needed more powerful help.

……

"30% market share, Lao Zhang, does this knife hurt so much that you cry?"

Chen Heyu sat in the office, smiling and sneering.

"Shanghai needs to build another large-scale silicon wafer production line, you send a reliable person to keep an eye on it, Huayao's order has also been obtained, and the delivery date cannot be delayed."

After coming back to his senses, he picked up the phone and explained to He Tingbo.

"Okay, boss, don't worry."

He Tingbo replied.

The business volume of the Tesla P100 is about 2 billion US dollars;

The OEM order for the Apple A9 chip processor is about 6 billion US dollars;

As a leading domestic manufacturer of communication equipment and smartphones, Huayao widely uses 16-nanometer chips in its products, so it has purchased an order volume of 4 billion US dollars in one go.

This has accounted for 30% of Huayao's chip import business, which has greatly squeezed the living space of Pickcom, Inter, Botong and Texas Instruments.

As a result, under the impetus of Zhang Zhimou, a plan for Shanhai Microelectronics quietly spread.
