The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 251
Unlike "Center International" Mr. Liang Song who quickly made a decision, after the exposure of Phoenix Group's successful production of 5nm lithography machines, many domestic semiconductor companies are still on the sidelines, inquiring about internal information in private.

but.

On June 6, Phoenix Group announced the successful production of Phoenix 28nm EUV lithography machine the next day.

When the official media broadcast an overnight emergency interview documentary in the early morning of the next day, showing the performance of the Phoenix 5nm EUV lithography machine and the internal situation of the factory, domestic semiconductor companies could no longer sit still.

Huahong Semiconductor.

As the second largest semiconductor foundry company in Yanguo, the conference room of Huahong Semiconductor, which is second only to SMIC in terms of revenue, was filled with smoke, and executives were called to the meeting early in the morning.

After some intense discussions just now, the meeting has passed the procurement plan for purchasing Phoenix 5nm lithography machines, and now we are waiting for specific quotations and data from Phoenix Semiconductor before discussing in detail.

Sitting above the conference table was Lu Jun, CEO of Huahong Semiconductor. Seeing that everyone was waiting in the conference room, he couldn't help looking at the watch on his wrist.

"Secretary Zhang, go to remind me again. It's been more than half an hour. Why hasn't there been any news from Phoenix Semiconductor?"

Lu Jun frowned, apparently getting impatient with the wait.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'm going to take a look."

Secretary Zhang just got up and walked towards the door, when suddenly the door of the meeting room was opened, and a staff member in a suit walked in quickly.

"Come on, Mr. Lu, Phoenix Semiconductor has responded to the news, and related performance data have been sent over."

Everyone in the meeting room instantly regained their spirits. Lu Jun hurriedly took the materials handed over by the staff, and after a careful look, he was extremely surprised.

"The price of a 5nm EUV lithography machine is 5 million?! It's so cheap, right?!"

"5 million units?!"

Just like the executives of "Center International" heard the price, the executives of Huahong Semiconductor were also surprised at this time. They are too aware of the current market conditions of EUV lithography machines.

"Mr. Lu, this is the quotation sent by Phoenix Semiconductor just now. I have checked it and there is no problem."

Lu Jun took a deep breath. If it is 5 million units, then the price is simply too attractive.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and was about to continue to read the detailed parameters, but he didn't expect to hear the voice of the staff again.

"but……"

"However, Phoenix Semiconductor specifically said just now that if we intend to place an order, we should quickly make a decision. At present, their production capacity orders are already full, and they may not accept new orders at any time."

Lu Jun was stunned for a moment, he raised his head and glanced at the staff with a playful smile.

"Xiao Zhang, just listen to what they say..."

"They only announced the development of a lithography machine yesterday. Did they say that the order capacity is full early this morning? Do you believe it?"

"Does their production capacity only produce two units a year? If other semiconductor companies are as interested in buying as we are, and are learning about their lithography machines, I believe it. If you say that the order is full overnight, I don't believe it. Listen. Just fine."

The staff member Xiao Zhang hesitated to speak.

But after a short pause, Xiao Zhang still couldn't help reminding:

"Mr. Lu, just now SMIC has posted a message on its official website that 'Center International' and Phoenix Group signed a detailed procurement contract last night and purchased five 5nm EVU lithography machines in one go..."

"5th floor?!"

Lu Jun looked shocked and couldn't believe it.

"SMIC and Liang Song responded so quickly this time? They signed a procurement contract with Phoenix Group last night?!"

The words of the staff member Xiao Zhang not only surprised Lu Jun, but all the executives present did not expect SMIC to move so fast.

All of a sudden, everyone took out their mobile phones and entered the official website of "Center International". Two minutes later, the atmosphere in the conference room became tense.

The vice president sitting at the bottom handed Lu Jun the mobile phone displaying the latest announcement from "Center International", and said immediately:
"Mr. Lu, the news is true."

"'Center International' got the news early yesterday morning and organized professionals to go to Phoenix Semiconductor to personally visit the 5nm lithography machine, and then signed a purchase agreement with Phoenix Group for 5 units overnight, which is obviously very satisfied with the performance of the lithography machine .”

"Mr. Lu, we can't delay any longer. In addition to us, we also have Hynix, Huali, and Hongli. They all need lithography machines urgently. If they want to be preempted by them, we will be slow!"

Lu Jun's face darkened, and he became anxious immediately. He was calm when he didn't hear the news before, but now he can't calm down when he sees that 'Center International' has been bought.

"Old Zhao, book the air ticket now, we'll rush over there and talk in person, Gou R's Center International will book 5 sets in one go, so we're not afraid to hold on!"

After finishing speaking, he made a gesture to dissolve the meeting and prepare to arrange the next itinerary. Just as he was about to stand up, he saw that the staff member beside him seemed to have something to say.

"Xiao Zhang, do you have anything else to do?!"

Xiao Zhang nodded.

"Mr. Lu, in addition to the quotation from Phoenix Group, there is also a purchase confirmation letter from ASML..."

"Haven't we been talking with ASML about the purchase of 14nm DUV lithography machines? Just now they sent the latest confirmation letter, proposing that they can accept our order and are willing to sell it to us at a 20% cheaper price."

Lu Jun was taken aback, ASML agreed? !

But after a while, he reacted again.

Good guy, we have been talking about it for more than half a year and ASML has been holding off selling it because of insufficient production capacity. The Phoenix Group just announced that it can produce 5nm lithography machines, and it will have production capacity soon?And are you willing to sell it at a 20% cheaper price? !
After being dazed for a moment, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

In an instant, he felt that he suddenly had support, and that powerful arm was the Phoenix Group!

Didn't you not sell me before?Now there are people in my family, I am hardened, my waist is straight, I can talk, love to sell or not!

At this moment, he suddenly became more fond of the Phoenix Group. No matter whether he can reach a deal with the Phoenix Group this time, the Phoenix Group has already used his influence to help the entire domestic chip industry. The proud ASML offered a 20% discount. I didn't even dare to think about it before.

This is just like domestically produced cars and domestically produced mobile phones. No matter how bad they are, even if there are various problems, you will benefit intangibly whether you buy domestically produced products or not. This is the meaning of domestically produced enterprises.

Thinking of this, Lu Jun couldn't help being happy.

"20%? Don't worry, don't worry!"

“凤凰5纳米EUV光刻机都才5亿RMB，他们14纳米还是DUV光刻机优惠20%也是8800万美刀，折合下来也是5.8亿。”

"Their discount is obviously not strong enough. They are not in a hurry, and we are not in a hurry..."

Speaking of this, Lu Jun smiled even more:

"Let's procrastinate. Let's go to Shancheng City to see how the Phoenix lithography machine is. If it can really reach the quality of ASML, ASML will take the initiative to reduce the price..."

"Okay, Lao Zhao, have you booked your flight ticket yet?"

……

On the other side, AMSL headquarters is far away in the Nordic windmill country.

Since the last day, the calls at ASML headquarters have hardly stopped, and several core management members have formed an emergency team to make decisions on the intelligence from the Yanguo Phoenix Group.

In CEO Pete's office.

"Boss, the latest reply from Yanguo Huahong Semiconductor has arrived. As we expected, they have questioned the price on the grounds of current operating difficulties, thinking that the price is too high..."

"Another Yanguo company, Hynix, also responded. They even directly asked us to provide EUV lithography machines instead of DUV lithography machines, and they did not agree with our price at all..."

"Now the orders of all semiconductor companies in Yanguo are at a standstill. If we don't deal with them quickly, I'm afraid companies in other regions will have other ideas..."

Pete took the latest information with an ugly expression, glanced at it and threw it on the table.

"Insatiable!"

"These Yanguo companies are simply greedy. We offered a 20% discount and couldn't satisfy them? In the past, even if we were only willing to accept their orders, we couldn't wait to give them money! Now we dare to refuse!"

"Who said no?!"

"Boss, the main reason is that the price of Phoenix Group's 5-nanometer lithography machine is too low, 5 million soft sister coins, and the 5-nanometer EUV lithography machine is only sold for 5 million soft sister coins, which is less than 1 million U.S. dollars. Now all Yanguo semiconductor companies are watching them."

The blond-haired executive Mike shook his head and said, and Pete's face gradually darkened.

Indeed, as Mike said, the reason for all of this is from the company from Yan Country——Phoenix Group!
He looked at the information about the Phoenix Group on the table, and then at Dennis who was collecting summary information on the computer.

"Dennis, has the Ministry of Commerce of Country M responded? What is the situation with the lithography machines of the Phoenix Group? This is related to our follow-up coping strategy!"

"Didn't they have any intelligence reminders for such important information? Only a few companies can produce the various key components needed for the EUV lithography machine. Aren't they keeping an eye on it? How could they not be aware of it!"

"What a bunch of rice buckets!"

As he spoke, Pete became more and more furious. He couldn't hold back for a while, and slammed his fist on the table.

The loud noise startled the other two executives, and Mike quickly persuaded:

"Boss, I don't think you need to worry too much now."

"Now the Phoenix Group has only announced that they can produce 5nm EUV lithography machines. How about the quality of the real lithography machines, and the stability of the yield rate is still uncertain..."

"Moreover, the most important thing is production capacity. Although Yanguo Shanghai Microelectronics Factory can already produce 28nm lithography machines, their annual production capacity is only two or three..."

"Although the Phoenix Group announced that it is accepting orders from outsiders, I think it is still difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake."

Pete finally felt better. With his understanding of lithography machines, it is not so easy for Yanguo Enterprises to produce high-process lithography machines, and it may even be impossible within ten years.

Thinking of this, he felt at ease, and remembered the business data of ASML last year. Last year, ASML created an order volume of 187 billion euros, of which the net profit was as high as 70 billion, and the gross profit reached a terrifying 55%.

Such a huge profitable business must not let anyone get their hands on it!

In an instant, Pete felt even more urgent.

"Mike, you're right, we can't be in a hurry now, we'll wait for M's reply first..."

Then, he looked at Dennis who was in charge of intelligence collection.

"Dennis, hurry up and urge Fang M again, what's going on today!"

As soon as the words fell, Dennis, who had been sorting out the information, suddenly raised his head.

"Boss, I sent another email just now and there is still no response. However, there is something wrong with the US stock market that just opened. Would you like to take a look?"

Pete was shocked, what happened to the US stocks?
"Yesterday, when Phoenix Group announced that it has developed a 5nm lithography machine, the situation in the US stock market was still normal. Everyone was skeptical about Phoenix Group's news."

"However... after one night, all the stocks in the chip industry before the market fell sharply today. The pre-market trading volume of our stocks has increased by 9 times, and we have touched the first fuse..."

"And it's not just stocks. I found that a large amount of funds are also shorting a large number of options. My intuition is that there are a large amount of funds shorting. Such a large amount of funds should be discovered by the Wall Street consortia. They are all fleeing the chip industry. ..."

Wall Street consortium?
Suddenly, Pete's face turned pale. He who was calm at first showed a look of despair. He had doubts about the Phoenix lithography machine before, and he instantly had an answer in his heart.

If those people all over the world are extremely sensitive to the future trend of the industry, it is definitely the consortia on Wall Street.

They have resources and sources of news that ordinary people can't think of, and the choices they make are all choices of real money.

This group of the most sensitive capital in the world has begun to flow out of the US stock chip industry crazily, which means...

There is no problem with the Phoenix lithography machine!
……

Across the ocean.

"Mr. Liu, this is the latest clause they proposed. In addition to the cancellation of the 'ST list' of Yanguo enterprises, some other conditions have been added..."

"However, it is very strange that, apart from the new terms, they did not make a lot of changes to the economic contract we proposed, and reached an agreement on food imports and chip purchases."

At this time, Liu Yixiu had lost all his previous enthusiasm. He had never thought that his carefully arranged conference call would suddenly be reversed in two levels. Now it seems that he threatened Yan Guo to negotiate with the conditions of the 7nm lithography machine. It is a joke.

but.

Although the entire conference negotiation has completely fallen into the trap of the other party, the negotiation must continue!
Either talk about it carefully, if you don't talk about Yan country, the next step is to attack country M's chip industry in Yan country, or even dump low-cost lithography machines around the world.

Liu Yixiu didn't dare to gamble, he knew that Yan Guo had the strength to destroy the entire foreign pillar industry.

After receiving the information compiled by the intelligence personnel, he frowned immediately.

"Their economic contract did not entangle with us, just for these conditions..."

"These conditions have exceeded our scope of authority. Pass them to Director Miller and let him convey them to the Baigong. We cannot interfere with these geographical issues..."

"Okay, I'll do it!"

Watching the intelligence personnel turn and leave, Liu Yixiu looked a little lonely.

In the past two days, information from various parties has come back one after another. All the news shows that there is no problem with the Phoenix 5nm lithography machine, which means that this time the plan to use the 7nm lithography machine to force the Phoenix Group to announce the technology has completely failed.

In the past 30 years of working in country M, this is the first time that he has suffered such a big loss against the Yan country delegation.

He sighed, and his eyes fell on the information about the lithography machine of the Phoenix Group on the table. The two Chinese characters were particularly dazzling in the information full of English...

"Dawn 005D..."

"breaking Dawn!"

Suddenly, he suddenly heard the words that Chen Hai sternly said in the teleconference a month ago.

"Starting from technical strength?!"

"Whether it is the past, present or future, you have no right to say this sentence, and you have no right to say this sentence now and in the future!"

Liu Yixiu was silent.

Could it be that innocence is about to change?
