When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

The statements of Xmi and Juhua were beyond the expectations of the Global Semiconductor Alliance.

In their minds, no matter how harsh the conditions they offer, they have no choice but to accept them.

Because they have joined forces, they have controlled more than 90 percent of the world's high-end chip supply.

What's more, this is originally a commercial activity.

At least it's covered with this coat.

Therefore, it is highly likely that it will not be deliberately targeted by the Chinese authorities.

They are not worried even if official organizations fight back.

however.

However, the development of things did not go as they imagined at all.

Xmi and Juhua actually stated directly that they did not accept the conditions they offered.

How can this be?

When executives from both Qualcomm and Samsung received the news, they were all shocked and confused.

I can't understand it at all!

After being shocked, they finally reacted and realized that if things continued like this, they would be self-defeating and end up shooting themselves in the foot.

China is the world's largest smartphone market, and the profits these multinational giants earn from China each year account for more than half of them.

No one can accept completely losing the Chinese market for such a reason.

Qualcomm.

After learning the news, Qualcomm CEO Warren immediately convened a meeting of the company's top executives.

"Xmi and Chrysanthemum from China have already publicly stated their stance. Now we will face the situation of losing the Chinese market. Let's talk about our ideas!"

Warren frowned and scanned everyone's faces, his eyes full of oppression.

however.

Such a troublesome matter, other executives naturally understood the impact of this matter and were unwilling to speak easily.

At this point, Qualcomm doesn't have many options left.

Or rather, there is no choice at all.

Can only walk one way to the dark.

This action was jointly organized by major giants. The original intention was to take advantage of this thunderous momentum and severely suppress the development momentum of Galaxy Technology.

With the subsequent actions, it will be possible to completely swallow up Galaxy Technology.

However, no one expected that problems would occur at this critical link.

As long as China's smartphone manufacturers sign this agreement, Galaxy Technology's research and development will be meaningless.

however……

The operation was kept completely confidential during the discussion phase and only a very small number of people knew about it.

However, after the action officially started, more people knew about it.

After all, the others were not fools. They could guess what was going on after seeing the situation.

After a while.

"I think this is very likely something they did on purpose. There is an old Chinese saying called Thirty-Six Stratagems. I think Xmi and Juhua's statement at this time may not necessarily mean they want to completely reject us. It is very likely that they are taking this opportunity to create a good image in the minds of consumers."

“There are three reasons for making this judgment.”

"First, China simply does not have the capacity to produce high-end chips on a large scale, so their smartphones can only be purchased from us."

"Secondly, the terms of this contract must be renegotiated. After all, China is a big country and we still have to show due respect."

"Finally, Chinese businessmen value profits the most. I don't think they can take such a big risk and give up such a big profit to do such a high-risk thing."

The speaker was an executive sitting next to Warren.

As the executive spoke, other voices gradually began to be heard in the conference room.

"This time, we are not the only one taking action. Almost the entire semiconductor alliance is making efforts. Even if the conditions are harsh, they have no choice."

"We have already announced the conditions, and the only option left for us is to stick to it."

"Xmi and Juhua do have a lot of orders. The loss of these orders will not affect our survival, but for Chinese smartphone manufacturers, this is fatal. We can definitely make double the money back from another angle!"

"The photolithography factory is simply a joke. Chinese researchers are always thinking about overtaking others, trying to catch up with our decades or even hundreds of years of hard work with just a few years of effort. This is simply a joke."

"The complexity of the photolithography process is simply beyond the grasp of China at this time. Even though they have previously developed the so-called advanced packaging solutions, plasma etcher and photoresist, these things are completely on a different level from the photolithography process."

Many senior executives spoke enthusiastically.

Warren's frown gradually relaxed.

As Qualcomm's executive chairman, Warren bears the greatest pressure.

If this operation is successful, his gains will be enormous, at least a nine-digit profit.

But if I fail, I will probably lose this identity.

It was equivalent to saying that all the achievements he had worked hard for for half his life were destroyed in an instant.

“Pay close attention to the actions of Chinese smartphone manufacturers.”

"We should pay special attention to Chrysanthemum Factory and Galaxy Technology. I have met Ren from Chrysanthemum, and he is a powerful guy."

"I don't think he would do anything irrational. This time he publicly announced that he would invest 5 billion and a team of engineers to assist Galaxy Technology in completing research and development. There must be something we don't know about it."

"We will not make any changes to the terms on the surface, but we can communicate with Chinese smartphone manufacturers privately."

"We can set up a partner with second-level authority in China, second only to the first-level authority, and the supply of the most advanced chips can be delayed for half a year."

"In addition, there are a series of other preferential treatments."

"However, we will only set up one manufacturer with secondary authority in the Chinese market."

"There is no need to deliberately conceal this news. Communicate directly with major manufacturers in China."

"I would like to see if all Chinese smartphone manufacturers are the same as Xiaomi and Juhua."

Warren couldn't help but sneer when he said this.

He really hated Chrysanthemum Factory and Xmi.

At this critical moment, the two companies actually openly sang a different tune.

Warren has secretly made up his mind that after he destroys Galaxy Technology, he will let Juhua and Xmi understand his power.

What will happen if you offend Qualcomm?

After hearing what Warren said, other executives in the conference room nodded.

After all, it is a world-renowned multinational company, and these executives are well-informed.

Not too worried about it.

The lineup this time is so strong that there is no possibility of any accidents happening.

They have this confidence, and this confidence also comes from their accumulation over the years.

The meeting ended here and many executives left one after another.

however.

domestic.

At this time, a meeting was also being held.

The participants are all domestic semiconductor industry experts.

There are experts transferred from Lucheng, as well as scholars and professors transferred from Shanghai and Beijing.

These professors and experts are the support given to Wang Donglai from above.

Wang Donglai looked at these experts and scholars transferred from above and couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

He really didn't want these people. It wasn't that their skills weren't good, but that they were old enough to be his father.

Each of them is fifty-six years old, not to mention older than Wang Yanxing.

They are also senior scholars in this field, and each of them has a large number of academic achievements.

Although Wang Donglai is not bad, sometimes the age gap makes some simple things complicated.

For example, the right to speak.

However, now that these professors and scholars have arrived, Wang Donglai naturally cannot chase them away.

What's more, Wang Donglai didn't want to waste such a good opportunity.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind.

A smile appeared on Wang Donglai's face, and he said, "Thank you very much for coming."

"I won't say any more words, let's get straight to the point!"

"Professor Zhao Wu, the core theory of the photolithography factory was actually born based on the SSMB theoretical concept you proposed in 2010."

As soon as Wang Donglai said this, the eyes of many scholars present lit up and their expressions showed a hint of interest.

SSMB theory is a new type of example of steady-state microbunching at accelerator light sources.

This theory is regarded as a design that goes beyond the limitations of EUV lithography machines and patents and is extremely promising for the future. According to speculation, SSMB can easily handle EUV lithography machines and can also play a more important role in the subsequent development of lithography technology.

Last year, when discussing the Large Hadron Collider, Professor Zhao Wu was invited by Mr. Yang to serve as a visiting professor at Tsinghua University, and a consensus was reached that the EUV lithography machine has shortcomings and we need to surpass them. We cannot just follow the lead and must ensure multi-line parallel development.

This time, one of the experts selected from above was Professor Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wu was also a little surprised to hear his theory being put forward by Wang Dong.

Subconsciously, he said, "Academician Wang, are you telling the truth?"

Wang Donglai laughed and answered affirmatively: "Professor Zhao, of course this is true!"

"Then why haven't I heard of your company conducting relevant principle verification? Or can Academician Wang give me a piece of principle verification data in this regard?"

This is what another professor said.

Wang Donglai had already thought about this situation, so he was not surprised.

Clap your hands lightly.

A projector fell behind him.

"Since you are all here, it proves that you are all trustworthy."

"So, I will talk about some confidential information next, please keep it confidential!"

Wang Donglai clapped his hands lightly again, and a PPT was opened.

The name of PPT is exactly the theoretical practice of the photolithography factory.

Although his fame was simple and unpretentious, everyone took it very seriously.

"As we all know, SSMB is not just synchrotron radiation, but an attempt to create a free electron laser based on synchrotron radiation. I think you all know how difficult it is to achieve this..."

"..."

This lecture lasted two hours.

Wang Donglai's mouth was dry after hearing this.

But the effect was extremely good. These scholars and professors, who were originally arrogant, looked at Wang Donglai with eyes full of admiration.

During these two hours, Wang Donglai conquered them with his abilities.

At the very least, it can make these people recognize the feasibility of a lithography factory.

After finishing his speech, Wang Donglai led everyone directly into work mode.

……

the other side.

There is also action going on above.

After all, the purpose of the Global Semiconductor Alliance's actions this time is too obvious.

In addition, it is impossible for us to give up the semiconductor industry.

So, there must be a response.

So, an entrepreneurs' meeting was informally held.

There were many entrepreneurs attending the conference, all of whom were domestic and semiconductor-related.

Conscience, smartphone manufacturers, and companies such as Zhongwei and SMIC.

The level of leadership present at the conference was high.

The meeting ended quickly.

The leader directly stated at the meeting that he would achieve breakthroughs in semiconductor technology at all costs.

First, after expressing the determination, a series of preferential policies were announced.

Make precise investments in lithography machines, eDA/, and semiconductor materials.

Secondly, establish "first-set domestic equipment insurance" to reduce the risk of wafer fabs trying out domestic equipment.

In addition, regulations are set up for protection.

Promote intellectual property reform, establish a semiconductor patent pool, promote cross-licensing among domestic enterprises, reduce constraints from overseas litigation, etc.

It can be said that this meeting achieved a lot.

After its full implementation, it will definitely promote the long-term development of my country's semiconductor industry.

That evening, it appeared on television.

at the same time.

An article appeared on the Internet.

A solemn statement against unfair competition and market monopoly by foreign semiconductor companies.

Recently, some countries and their semiconductor companies have abused their technological hegemony and implemented technological blockades, market exclusion and price discrimination against my country's semiconductor industry in the name of so-called "security review" and "supply chain compliance", which seriously violates the principles of free trade and international economic and trade rules. We express our strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to this, and call on global industry chain partners to jointly resist such destructive behavior.

1. Facts and evidence: three major manifestations of unfair competition.

Technological blockade: systematically cutting off the supply of key equipment and materials.

Market monopoly: bundling and price discrimination.

Abuse of rules: long-arm jurisdiction and judicial containment.

2. Our firm position has always been: resolutely defending industrial chain fairness and national security.

Oppose technological hegemony and support independent innovation.

Counter unfair competition according to law.

Promote collaborative governance of the global industrial chain.

3. Specific actions: Promote cooperation through strength and seek win-win results through innovation.

Technological independence and the use of a national system to overcome bottlenecks.

Open the market and build a non-discriminatory industrial ecology.

International cooperation to build a resilient supply chain.

4. Serious warning and future prospects.

We urge relevant companies and countries to immediately stop the stigmatization and politicization of our semiconductor industry and return to normal technical cooperation and market rules.

The semiconductor industry is the common wealth of mankind and should not be reduced to a geopolitical tool. We are willing to work with all countries to use semiconductor technology to promote global economic recovery, address climate change, and improve human well-being, rather than create disputes and confrontations.

As soon as this article came out, it immediately blew up the entire Internet. (End of this chapter)
