"Do you think Nanshan Semiconductor will be willing to cooperate with us?"

"They have mastered the equipment and technology for the production of chips, and they also have the supply of relevant raw materials, so they are not afraid of our threat at all."

Otellenne looked at Pat with some disbelief.

If he is the head of Nanshan Semiconductor, then he will definitely be unwilling to shake hands with Intel.

At least in the Chinese market, it is absolutely unwilling to give a piece of the pie to Intel.

"Nanshan Semiconductor's chips are currently mainly used in the parts of Nanshan Automobile Group and the products of Honor Technology Group."

"The number of external sales is actually very limited."

"In this case, in fact, the contradictions between the two sides are not particularly deep, and there is every chance of reconciliation."

"We can even discuss with them, agree on the scope of everyone's market, and work together to make money."

Pat felt that Intel's biggest enemy was AMD, and there was no need to waste so much time dealing with Nanshan Semiconductor.

Especially now Nanshan Semiconductor is so difficult to do, if you spend too much energy on the other party, the gains will outweigh the losses.

"Our most important market is the computer chip market, which is also the largest market in the chip field."

"Do you think Nanshan Semiconductor can give up the telecom chip market?"

Otellins asked further.

For him, if he can really stabilize the situation, then it is acceptable not to toss Nanshan Semiconductor.

"If we give up the mobile phone chip market to Nanshan Semiconductor, then it will be possible."

As soon as Pat said this, Odenin fell silent.

There is no doubt that in the field of chips, Intel is a relatively long-established and very powerful company, and it is the industry leader on the PC side.

But after all, there is a difference between the mobile processor of a smartphone and the CPU of a computer, and the processor of a smartphone is not only a CPU, but also a GPU, baseband, etc.

And the baseband piece is not what Intel is good at.

Moreover, Intel's chips are based on the x86 architecture, which is characterized by high performance but high power consumption and heat generation, which makes it difficult for them to adapt to the needs of portable mobile devices.

In addition, x86-based processors need to be translated when running ARM instruction set applications, which results in significant performance degradation.

In addition, Intel is concerned that selling CPUs as discrete IP cores will lead to an outflow of technology, and it is also worried about risking losing the entire server market in order to compete for the mobile market.

Therefore, Intel, which everyone is familiar with, has indeed performed poorly in the field of mobile phone chips.

If it can be agreed with Nanshan Semiconductor, in the future, Nanshan Semiconductor's computer chips will only be supplied to Honor Technology, and will not compete with Intel for the market.

In the future, Nanshan Semiconductor will work hard in the fields of automotive-grade chips and mobile phone chips.

It is entirely possible to achieve this condition.

Thinking about this clearly, Otellenne is not entangled.

"You ask the Huaxia branch to contact Nanshan Semiconductor first to see if the other party is willing to cooperate."

"If I can, then when I go to Huaxia for an investigation in a while, I will take the time to meet Cao Yang."

Otellins is now most worried that Nanshan Semiconductor will start to use 14nm process chip technology to compete with Intel for the computer chip market.

That would directly shake the foundation of Intel, which is unacceptable.

It's acceptable for everyone to focus on a part of the market.

And Intel's actions soon reached Cao Yang's ears.

"Mr. Cao, Intel said that as long as I don't enter the computer chip business outside the group in the future, they will not compete with us in mobile phone chips and automotive-grade chips."

The charter still attaches great importance to the connection with Intel.

After all, Intel's name in the semiconductor industry is something that no one can ignore.

"Intel itself does not have any market share in mobile phone chips and automotive-grade chips, and there is no pressure on them to give up without competing with Nanshan Semiconductor in these two fields."

"But if we want to give up the computer chip market, we will give up a huge market."

Cao Yang obviously wouldn't agree to Intel's proposal so easily.

Although he knows that no matter how Nanshan Semiconductor develops, it is impossible for chip giants like Intel to go bankrupt.

But being able to make them uncomfortable and make them change from lying down to standing to earn money is also the result of a lot of effort.

"That's true, so Intel said that they plan to invest in a dedicated wafer factory and related packaging and testing factories in Huaxia, and the equipment of the factory can be purchased from Nanshan equipment."

As soon as Zhang Jing said this, Cao Yang immediately became interested.

Although there will be no shortage of orders from companies in the chip industry alliance such as Nanshan Equipment in the past two years, Huaxia's semiconductor industry is only a part of the global semiconductor industry after all.

If the equipment cannot be sold overseas, then the upper limit of development will still be affected to a certain extent.

Cao Yang also hopes that the lithography machine of Nanshan equipment can be sold all over the world like ASML.

When the time comes, you will be able to earn a high dollar profit in the name of justice.

"The purchase of equipment is an investment they need to make, and although the choice of Nanshan equipment is also an olive branch extended by them, it is not enough for us to give up the computer chip market."

Although the computer chip market has not been the focus of Nanshan Semiconductor's efforts, it is another topic to give up completely.

"Intel's 14nm chip technology should be able to make a breakthrough soon, and I don't think they lied to us."

"They want to work with us to suppress TSMC and other companies such as Samsung and AMD."

"In addition, Intel has also said that they are willing to purchase our equipment at the same price as other international equipment manufacturers."

"In the future, as long as the factory is built in Huaxia, it will give priority to purchasing relevant equipment from Nanshan Equipment."

"In the future, we will even consider using Nanshan Equipment's products at some overseas factories."

Zhang Jing further listed Intel's conditions.

I have to say that this condition is not very bad.

It is even considered to be acceptable to Cao Yang.

Cao Yang is not only concerned about the development of Nanshan Semiconductor, but also about the development of Nanshan equipment.

There are some changes in the current international situation, which are very unfavorable for the development of Nanshan Semiconductor and Nanshan Equipment.

In this case, if Intel can take the lead in cooperating with Nanshan Equipment, it will be of great significance to break the blockade of Nanshan enterprises in the United States.

The most important thing is that there are a bunch of bigwigs behind Intel, and these people are strong enough to rewrite some rules.

However, Cao Yang felt that it was still necessary to confirm.

"The United States has relevant sanctions against Nanshan equipment, and Intel has the courage to violate these?"

"They shouldn't dare to use Nanshan Equipment's products in the U.S. factory."

Zhang Jing has no interests with Intel, so answering questions is also based on the actual situation.

Intel is the world's largest semiconductor company and a leader in chip design and manufacturing.

However, in the past few years, Intel has faced unprecedented challenges and pressures, its technological advantages have been gradually reduced or even surpassed by competitors, its market share has been eroded, and its profitability has been affected.

As the world's largest chip market and the most potential growth area, Huaxia is naturally also a key development country for Intel.

In this case, Intel itself has plans to build a local chip factory in China.

In particular, the relevant departments of Huaxia are now increasing their control measures on imported chips.

If Intel can build a factory in China to produce chips, then it will not be restricted by various measures.

Even some places will provide some preferential conditions in order for Intel to fall in their own jurisdiction.

In addition to supporting local enterprises to develop semiconductors, Huaxia actually supports the development of international chip giants in China.

"Since Intel has taken the initiative to put forward the conditions, then you can talk to them about it."

"The computer market is not the focus of our development in the first place, and we don't have much advantage in this field compared to Intel."

"So in addition to providing chips for Honor Technology's computers, we can consider giving up expanding other computer customers."

It is acceptable to give up the further development of the computer chip market in exchange for Nanshan Equipment's products to go to the factories of international chip giants.

Cao Yang also knows that no matter how hard Nanshan Semiconductor works, it is impossible to monopolize the huge chip market.

You're going to kill yourself like that.

……

Intel moves fast!

When Nanshan Semiconductor had preliminary communication with them, the bosses of both sides immediately met in Yangcheng.

Then Intel officially announced plans to build a new factory in Huaxia to expand its business in the Huaxia market.

More importantly, in combination with the policy requirements of relevant departments in China, most of the equipment in Intel's Huaxia factory will be purchased locally in order to further enhance Intel's competitiveness.

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

"Otellin, what do you mean by Intel?"

"Didn't you say that you want to deal with Nanshan Semiconductor and Nanshan Equipment, and you want to encircle and suppress them?"

"Why do you want to purchase lithography machines and other equipment from Nanshan Equipment?"

Apple's CEO, Kuka, made a direct call to Otellin, and there was a burst of accusations.

Apple refused to use Intel x86 around 1993, and it wasn't until 2005 that Apple was ready to agree to transfer its Mac platform to Intel's x86.

However, while publicly celebrating this decision, Apple is also working on other plans internally that do not involve Intel.

Apple initially wanted to use Intel's built-in XScale chip to provide computing power for the iPhone.

Intel's CEO, Odheran O'Tonning, rejected Apple, fearing that its phone project would not be successful enough to return on Intel's investment.

As it turned out, Intel's judgment at the time was wrong.

In just a few short years, Apple's success with the iPhone was so evident that Intel was eager to work with Apple on future mobile products.

Especially for the upcoming tablet, Intel wants Apple to opt for the upcoming x86 Silverthorne mobile chip.

But this time, Apple turned down Intel and instead started developing a new custom ARM "system-on-chip" project.

This project will provide the computing power of the iPad and iPhone 4, which will make the A4 series chips behind.

Over the next few years, Apple actively invested in the development of its own A-series chips, while planning to move away from its dependence on the continued use of Intel chips in Macs.

This is certainly something that Intel has an opinion on.

"Kuka, wake up, recognize reality."

"At the beginning, you told me to join ASML to deal with Nanshan Semiconductor, and not sell lithography machines to them."

"As a result, Nanshan Equipment got the lithography machine out by itself."

"Then you took the initiative to ask everyone to join forces to encircle and suppress Nanshan Semiconductor on photoresist, hoping to strangle it."

"You know what the result is."

"Photoresist manufacturers such as JSR and DuPont probably don't have a big opinion on us, right?"

"After that, they tossed and wanted to find a way to deal with Nanshan Semiconductor in terms of inert gas, but before they officially made a move, the brother enterprises of Nanshan Semiconductor began to produce various electronic special gases by themselves."

"If this encirclement continues, maybe Nanshan equipment will be encircled and suppressed to become the first in the world!"

Odenning was very unceremoniously scolding Kuka.

Although he also supported the encirclement and suppression of Nanshan Semiconductor and Nanshan Equipment before, he wanted to avoid the rise of a new opponent through these measures.

But these measures have failed.

For the sake of Intel's own interests, he began to change his mind.

Apple is already trying to figure out how to make its own chips for its Apple computers and want to break away from Intel's arms.

Nanshan Semiconductor has also begun to provide CPUs for Honor Technology's computers, and the market for this part of the market will have nothing to do with Intel in the future.

If this situation is allowed to develop, it will definitely be very bad news for Intel.

Clearly, Otellening doesn't want things to continue like this.

"Ou Dening, you should know that it is in the interests of the entire United States to encircle and suppress Nanshan Semiconductor, block Nanshan Equipment, and suppress China's semiconductor companies."

"There's nothing to be gained from you doing this way."

Kuka was a little angry, he really didn't expect Intel to jump out and backstab everyone first.

In the entire semiconductor company in the United States, Qualcomm and Apple and Nanshan Semiconductor have the deepest tooth marks.

But Intel must also have no friendship with Nanshan Semiconductor.

He didn't understand what was going on behind the scenes now.

"KUKA, if Apple's computer business in the future all abandons the use of its own developed chips, we Intel are willing to stand with Apple all the time."

"Would you like to?"

Odenin listened to Kuka's words, and his mood was also unhappy.

So he just scared Kuka to death with one sentence.

You want to use Intel without it, and you don't want Intel to find a way out on its own, that is to want Intel to fall?

With the influence of Nanshan Semiconductor in Huaxia, if it goes all out to enter the computer chip market in the future, then eighty percent of Huaxia's market may be snatched away by them.

This is something that Intel will never accept.

As for Odenin's rebuttal, Kuka opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Naturally, it is impossible for Apple to continue to use Intel's chips on a large scale in computers, and this is related to the development strategy of their company.

Not only do computers not want Intel chips, but all other Apple products will slowly stop using Intel chips.

Kuka knows this very well.

Now that Odenning has put the problem directly on the table, he doesn't know how to refute it.

So in the end, he could only hang up the phone helplessly, and watched Nanshan equipment make an unprecedented breakthrough, and began to provide lithography machines and other equipment to Intel's Huaxia factory.

Africa was also shocked by the news.

ASML has always regarded Nanshan Equipment as its most important competitor in the world.

That's why they are busy trying to encircle and suppress Nanshan Equipment and Nanshan Semiconductor, so that the semiconductor industry in the whole world can return to the development rhythm they want to see.

But all these efforts have obviously failed.

"Pete, Intel is ready to start using the lithography machine of Nanshan equipment, what are we going to do?"

Christopher is panicking right now.

Intel is one of ASML's shareholders, and now it doesn't use ASML's lithography machines.

Why is that?

How did the world suddenly become like this?

"Christopher, Intel is only using Nanshan equipment's lithography machine on the newly built factory in Huaxia, and not all new factories in the future will use their products."

"I think this is mainly because Intel wants to expand the Huaxia market, so make a compromise according to the requirements of the relevant departments in Huaxia."

Pete wasn't so flustered right now.

When the relevant departments of China issued policies some time ago, they had already brought huge pressure and blows to ASML.

The company is basically ready to lose the Chinese market.

Now the cooperation between Intel and Nanshan Equipment is also a manifestation of the loss of orders in the Chinese market.

That's why Pete didn't feel the need to be so flustered.

But Christopher doesn't see it that way.

"Intel, as the world's most influential chip company, they take the lead in using Nanshan equipment's lithography machine, which will bring a very bad demonstration role to the entire semiconductor industry."

"In the future, it will be a bit untenable for us to continue to talk about the lithography machine technology of Nanshan equipment."

"I'm worried that in the next step, companies such as TSMC and Samsung may also use Nanshan equipment's lithography machines on their factories in Huaxia."

"Even in markets other than Huaxia, they will use lithography machines from Nanshan equipment."

"In this way, the future of our company is over."

Christopher felt that his concerns were definitely not unfounded.

How could Nanshan Equipment give up such good conditions and not open up the market?

However, it was useless for him to worry about it.

Having lost its technological advantage, ASML wanted to return to the old days, which was no longer a realistic problem.

Of course, ASML will not just go out of business.

It's just that I can't live the comfortable life I used to.

After all, this world can still accommodate the two lithography machine giants in the East and the West.

In particular, some changes in the United States in the future will give ASML further development opportunities in markets other than China.

"The competition between Intel and Nanshan Semiconductor is not so fierce, and it is estimated that this time they are in order not to let Nanshan Semiconductor regard themselves as the most important competitors, so they chose to make peace."

"I think that whether it is Apple, Samsung, or manufacturers such as Deyi and TSMC, they will not easily follow the path of Intel."

Once again, Pete gave a definite guess.

This made Christopher's mood a little more stable.

But the anxiety in my heart is that I can't get over anything.

is also as anxious as Christopher, and that is the three-star Lee Jae-lim.

"Chai Hang, now Intel is actively cooperating with Nanshan Equipment, which means that the joint suppression of Nanshan Semiconductor by international chip giants has been infighting and a huge rift has appeared."

"This is a very bad thing for our company."

"Is there anything you can do to change that?"

As the general manager of Samsung Huaxia, Lee Jae-lin can see the threat to Samsung from this incident.

The better the development of Nanshan equipment, the better the development of Nanshan Semiconductor.

With the development of Nanshan Semiconductor, the pressure on Samsung will be greater.

"I think this change from Intel is, in the final analysis, a choice of interests."

"They found that everyone seems to have no way to block the development of Nanshan Semiconductor and Nanshan Equipment, so it is better to simply take the initiative to change the direction, otherwise blindly blocking it will be counterproductive."

When Chai Hang said this, Li Zailin didn't understand it.

"How can the blockade be counterproductive?"

"Mr. Li, the enterprises in Nanshan are very different from other Chinese enterprises, and they have mastered many core technologies."

Chai Hang straightened out his thoughts and was ready to exchange his views with Li Zailin.

"Judging from the cases of the past so many years, as long as they are determined to do something, everything has been done."

"The more everyone suppresses them, the more they have to innovate independently and break through everyone's blockade."

"If there is no such suppression, in the face of a booming market, maybe their technological breakthrough will not be so fast."

"This should be the situation Intel wants to see."

Chai Hang's statement is quite similar to Intel's internal views to some extent.

But Lee Jae-rim found it difficult to accept.

When did Huaxia enterprises have such influence?

This is not to let Samsung live a good life in the future.

"If Intel does this, other chip companies should have a great opinion of him, right?"

"Asmir, there must be an opinion."

Lee Jae-rim knew that Intel, Apple and other companies had joined forces to deal with Nanshan Equipment and Nanshan Semiconductor, and now that it had suddenly become the current situation, he felt that other companies would definitely have the same opinions as himself.

"Opinions must have opinions, after all, in addition to Intel, many other chip companies have a strong competitive relationship with Nanshan Semiconductor."

"But what if you have an opinion?"

"It's Intel's own choice."

"Mr. Li, in fact, I think that since the lithography machine of Nanshan Equipment has technical advantages and huge cost advantages, then we should adjust our strategy in time and purchase lithography machines from Nanshan Equipment, which should also be included in the agenda."

Chai Hang boldly put forward an unprecedented proposal.

This made Lee Jae-lim's face look ugly all of a sudden.

He would never have the courage to propose such a plan to the headquarters.
