Chapter 322 29.58 billion U.S. dollar order contract, Bedley Foundation action
"Shanhai Microelectronics and Pinghua cooperate on 10nm A11 chips, or will be equipped next year!"
"Bay Semiconductor Company is falling behind again! The production capacity has declined sharply, falling out of the top three, and falling to the fourth place in Yazhou! β
"Sanxing Electronics admits defeat: with a large order of 8.28 billion US dollars, Shanhai Microelectronics has become the largest OEM service provider of Sanxing Group!"
"Official announcement: The price is 23,800 US dollars, not a penny!"
"Shanhai M-4 is about to be launched, the performance of the Snapdragon 825, the first domestic self-developed 10nm chip!"
On the second day after Sanxing signed the cooperation agreement, Tim, CEO of Apple Confection, took the initiative to request a meeting, and this time without bargaining, he directly signed the OEM contract.
Q3 quarter small batch production!
The monthly production capacity is 50 million!
The total order value is 14.36 billion US dollars!
Shanhai Microelectronics won the two major consumer electronics giants of Sanxing and Pinghua in one fell swoop, and confirmed the position of the largest chip foundry in Yazhou, and the output of silicon wafers alone has far surpassed that of Wanji, Xuni and Lotus!
"Shanhai Micro Electric is on, right? After only two years of establishment, can it fully crush Wanji? β
"Look at the treatment of employees given by Shanhai Microelectronics, don't some companies blush? Fresh graduates only give 6,000 yuan, which is really embarrassing! β
"The super genius engineer of Shanhai Microelectronics earns billions of Chinese dollars a year! Tulle 99% of listed companies! β
"Please, good Samaritans! Who will tell me what major to choose in college to join Shanhai Microelectronics? β
On the occasion of the college entrance examination, a large number of prospective college students have chosen semiconductor-related knowledge disciplines, dreaming that one day they can enter Shanhai Microelectronics and get a high salary.
While pursuing your dreams, it is not a shame to ask for a generous return on your capital!
"The process of 10 nanometer chips is perfect, mainly relying on three people, 30 million bonuses of 10 million per person, Noyce contributes the most, you get 1% of the dividend, Lao Wu and Xie Shengdong 0.5% each."
After Chen Heyu and Tim reached a cooperation intention, they began to "reward meritorious deeds"!
"Thank you Boss, I don't think there is a more generous boss in this world than you!"
Noyce smiled from ear to ear and boasted excitedly in Mandarin.
He, a foreigner, came to China across the ocean, isn't it because of this heavy "respect"?
With the OEM orders of Sanxing and Pinghua alone, he was able to earn 220 million US dollars!
If you continue to stay in Hotong, you won't be able to earn this money in your two lifetimes, and I praise the boss in my heart!
When Wu Maosheng and Xie Shengdong heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, this job has been done until they are old, and they are also willing.
Really, Boss Chen gave too much!
"Really? Then do a good job, the 10nm chip process is not a ceiling technology, and there are 7nm, 5nm, 3nm, and even 1nm ultra-precision fields behind. β
Chen Heyu smiled lightly and said leisurely.
The three of them nodded hurriedly to show that they understood.
Generally speaking, the monopoly production process has a bonus period of at least 3 years, and when the time comes, the number of competitors will gradually increase, and the orders and profit margins will be relatively reduced.
If you want to make a lot of money, you must "stay up late and burst the liver" for Boss Chen and launch a more advanced chip process.
"Let's go back."
Chen Heyu waved his hand.
After the three of them left, he glanced at the work schedule, and half an hour later, the president of Inter China would come to visit.
"It seems that the 10nm process of Intel is not mature enough, or because of the extremely low yield rate, we have to seek OEM!"
He thought to himself.
"It's just, do you want to agree?"
His eyebrows frowned slightly, and he hesitated for a while.
In the first two equipment blockade incidents, the Inter Group has been hidden in it, allowing Wanji to take the lead.
This "love" has always been kept in mind.
"Mr. He, you are responsible for receiving the representatives of Inter and telling the other party that the production capacity of 10-nanometer chips is full."
After thinking about it again, he finally made a decision and asked He Tingbo to refuse politely.
"Okay, boss."
He Tingbo replied.
"Since we don't accept orders from Inter, let's pick its competitors and let it feel aggrieved."
Chen Heyu said coldly.
Subsequently, Wang Maosong was instructed to take over the foundry orders of AMD, IBM and Pickaxe, making it clear that he wanted to make Intel's chips 2-3 years behind.
The lack of production capacity is a bright excuse!
After some operation, he won a contract of 6.94 billion US dollars again.
Excluding the revenue of Shanhai M-4 chips, 10nm chip foundry services, a total of 29.58 billion US dollars of orders were signed!
This time, the most delicious piece of chip cake was tasted by Shanhai Microelectronics and distributed by Huaguo.
β¦β¦
βShitοΌ Does he really think that without Shanhai Microelectronics, we won't be able to build 10-nanometer chips? β
After receiving the news, Intel CEO Grove couldn't help but scold.
"Boss, it's really not good."
The subordinate replied stupidly.
ββ¦β¦β
Grove choked speechlessly, and sat down in his chair, panting like a mad beast.
"Di Lingling~!"
The phone on the desk rang suddenly.
Grove reached out and took it, saw the caller number, groaned slightly, and pressed the connect button directly: "Bessemai, don't bother me, I'm not in the mood to accompany you to the island recently!" β
"Can the 10-nanometer chip process still make the CEO of Intel embarrassed?"
Besemai quipped.
He is the chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bedler Foundation, which controls the world's largest investment management group, and in addition to its strong assets, it also has strong influence in the military, pharmaceutical, financial and media sectors.
"I have to say that this time it is really tricky, and the other party seems to know some inside information, so he deliberately targeted Inter."
Grove banged the table, venting his frustration.
"The Vic Thompson Hotel, the Penthouse Executive Chamber, here are the answers you want, see you at 5 p.m."
Bessemai left the next sentence and hung up the phone.
The cutting-edge technology of the semiconductor industry must be in the hands of the beautiful country, and as for Shanhai Microelectronics, it is just a temporary fluke.
"The answer I want?"
Grove pondered this sentence repeatedly, and vaguely had some guesses in his heart.
"Mulier, arrange a car for me, I'm going to the Vic Thompson Hotel now."
He commanded at the female secretary.
"No problem, sir."
Mu Lier replied coquettishly.
Half an hour later, Grove stood in the elevator, facing the mirror, and straightened his clothes before walking unhurriedly towards the conference hall.
"Oh! My old friend Grove, it seems that the water in the city that never sleeps is very damaging to your hair! β
Ronald, chairman of GF Electronics, shouted mocking.
The two companies have a long-standing feud, and in 2013, GF Electronics sued Intel for patent infringement and demanded a ban on the import and sale of Intel chips.
It was not until the winter of 2015 that a global patent cross-licensing agreement was reached under the mediation of Bethemia, and the patent licensing issue between the two parties was resolved.
But after all, there are still some contradictions and differences, so Ronald will ignore Bessema's face and carry out personal attacks without concealment.
"It's better than you bald man secretly transplanting your hair."
Grove immediately replied.
He looked around the room at the people in the room, including Zhang Zhimou of Wanji Electronics, Liu Guixian of Sanxing Electronics, Meredith, the head of Applied Materials, and Ronald, whom he hated the most.
"OK, everyone is here, I believe everyone has guessed the foundation's resolution, that's right, this time everyone is called over, mainly to fight against Shanhai Microelectronics."
Bessema clapped his palms and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"How to fight? Let the Department of Commerce come forward and lock up the supply of raw materials and equipment procurement of the other party? β
Grove asked rhetorically.
"Idiot! The lesson of Ames, forgotten so quickly? β
Ronald said dismissively.
Although they do this, although it is simple and effective, Shanhai Microelectronics and Future Technology are the same boss behind it, and when the time comes, the Moss artificial intelligence products of Jeonbuk Berry Continent will be reduced to waste.
Who can afford this responsibility?
The Association of the Deaf and the Blind People, these madmen even dare to sue Kashiwa, and if they knew that it was the result of the Bedley Foundation, they would not be allowed to go to the streets for dinner and demolish their headquarters building.
"Without Horae EDA, would you be able to design a circuit diagram for a 10nm chip?"
Bese Mai asked.
Everyone was silent, it must not be, otherwise why would they spend a high price to buy EDA software for Future Technology.
"Clear? There is no point in saying anything, and saying it will only be a waste of each other's time.
On behalf of the will of the Foundation, I invite you to come here because I want to gather many technical solutions to further improve the 10nm process production process and compete with Shanhai Microelectronics in the global semiconductor market. β
Besemai went straight to the point.
"Who's in charge of the production?"
Yoo asked.
In addition to Applied Materials, which does not have a chip factory, the rest have their own wafer manufacturing bases, who is this 10nm technology solution for?
"The four companies share technology, apply materials to get three years of sales shares, and everyone makes the cake bigger together."
Bessema replied.
"Ahem! Let me first state that Wanji is willing to participate. β
Zhang Zhimou said softly.
"Of course you are willing, you are about to be crippled by Shanhai Microelectronics, and if you wait for another three years, I'm afraid that Wanji will have to go bankrupt and liquidate."
Liu Guixian said sarcastically in his heart.
"The rest, what do you say?"
Seeing that several people did not react, Besemai couldn't help frowning, and raised his voice to urge.
"Sanxing doesn't need it, opt out."
Yoo pushed the frame and said lightly that he had no interest in sharing the 10-nanometer R&D process.
The breakthrough process of 10nm chips mainly relies on optimizing the transistor structure of FinFET and extreme ultraviolet lithography technology, but each company has different R&D ideas, and he is confident that this process can be completed within one year.
So, why does Sanxing want to give face to the Bedley Foundation?
Is it relying on a 5% stake?
What are you kidding, unless this matter is led by the Department of Commerce, Liu Guixian will not think about it.
After all, Sanxing is a pillar enterprise in Korea after all, and this confidence is still there!
"Short-sighted thing!"
The smile on Besemai's face disappeared in an instant, and he scolded coldly.
"Besemai, whatever you want!
I need to be accountable to the board of directors of Sanxing, and it is good that Bedley is one of the shareholders, but I can't ignore the interests of other shareholders. β
Yoo Gye-hyun patted the hem of his suit and replied proudly.
"Guys, go first."
With that, he turned and walked away without the slightest hesitation.
"Old thing! Sooner or later, I'll clean you up. β
Bessemai was dismissed, extremely unhappy, staring gloomily at the other party's back, and made a deep note in his heart.
"Ronald, what about you? To join or to withdraw? β
Besemai quickly sorted out her emotions, exhaled a few breaths of turbidity, and asked the person in charge of GF Electronics.
"I'm okay with that."
Ronald said that in the construction of the 10nm process, GF electronics has the weakest foundation.
To put it bluntly, he was the one who took advantage, so he said in a relaxed tone, and looked at Grove like a spring breeze.
"If I agree, yes, but I have to kick GF Electronics out, they don't qualify."
Grove raised his voice.
βShitοΌ What did you say? β
Ronald sank his face and looked at the other man viciously.
"Grove, please pay attention to the way you speak, GF Electronics' FinFET three-dimensional transistor structure, with very good current control and low power consumption characteristics, can bring together the technical background of the three companies to achieve mass production of 10nm chips as soon as possible.
If you don't want Intel to become a second-rate semiconductor company, shut your mouth and let go of your prejudices right away. β
Besemai warned in a condensed voice.
"Oh, I don't have anything to say, you decide."
Grove shrugged his shoulders and leaned back in his soft chair, squinting at his old foe.
"Applied Materials is just a supplier of raw materials and equipment that delivers state-of-the-art chemical solvents, deposition and polishing equipment for your money.
Of course, if you want to impose an embargo on Shanhai Microelectronics, then I'm sorry, I can't agree to it. β
Meredith spread her hands and said frankly.
With Shanhai Microelectronics' status in the semiconductor industry in China, if he dares not to sell equipment and materials, the other party dares to stop supplying gallium and germanium.
This is absolutely a no-brainer for Applied Materials!
Last time, if there was no endorsement from the big guy, Future Technology would not dare to come and fight back directly to Ames.
He thinks very clearly, he is just an upstream supplier, the mid-end and tail-end markets, no matter how he competes, he is a profiteer, and there is no need to be strong.
His appearance at the hotel was just a face-saving gesture to the Bedley Foundation, and he was always a major shareholder, so it was impossible to ignore it.
Besemai finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked a Sanxing, leaving Wanji, Intel and GF Electronics, and this work was not in vain.
The combination of the three companies may lose some of the benefits, but if Shanhai Microelectronics is allowed to control the most advanced nanochip technology.
Within three years, the Bedley Foundation will lose at least $100 billion in revenue, which is unbearable for the big bosses.
In the past, it was they who relied on precision production technology to make money in the global market and customize the rules of the game.
Now, who can accept a sudden change of person?
Zhang Zhimou was slightly happy, this cooperation was proposed by him on his own initiative, and the price was to pay a part of the equity of Wanji.
To survive or autonomy, he chose the former.
Together with Applied Materials, the four companies signed a patent sharing agreement to abandon all contradictions and preconceptions in the 10nm era and jointly defend their market share.
A few days later.
Chen Heyu knew the news from Paul's mouth and scolded "Bad luck!" He never expected that Bedley would come up with this trick.
"Find Ames to order another 10 EUV lithography machines!"
He thought about it for a while, and commanded He Tingbo.
In order to reduce the variables, he decided to act early and book the production capacity of AMES for one year.
As for whether the other party will sell it? He didn't need to think about it.
The purpose of opening the door is to do business, and the last ban on sales was also a trick made by Bedley, without the instruction of the major shareholder, which manager would be disgusted with less money?
The self-developed lithography machine has just started, and in a short period of time, he is not sure to make a substantial breakthrough.
You must know that an EUV lithography machine involves three core technologies, the production and manufacturing process, the need for systematic machining technology, more than 100,000 parts, hose length of more than 2 kilometers, 40 containers to transport, only installation and commissioning take about a year.
R&D, design, manufacturing, and acceptance, every step is difficult, and Chen Heyu needs space for development.
On the other hand, Rice Technology's autumn new product launch conference announced the postponement, at that time, Rice 5s and Rice 5s Plus will be equipped with the first flagship mobile phone processor in China.
