Chapter 1221 Price Reduction Is The Beginning Of Suppressing Domestic Chips
Chapter 1221 Price Reduction Is The Beginning Of Suppressing Domestic Chips
Recently.
Many domestic manufacturers are a little unreal, even unaccustomed.
because.
Whether it's a chip or a photolithography machine.
In the past, it had to be obtained from various underground channels.
Now.
America's chip manufacturer, as if afraid that you won't buy its chips, offers various preferential conditions.
For Nikang and Jianeng, they just knelt down and begged them to buy a photolithography machine.
Such treatment.
It's a dream.
First time ever.
To this.
Many domestic manufacturers are also smiling, waving their bills, and buying America's chips and island country's photolithography machines.
It doesn’t matter whether you can use it now or whether you can use it up.
Buy it and store it there, that's right.
What if this kind of treatment is just a flash in the pan?
As for Ou Daohan's chip manufacturer, he shed tears of envy when he saw America's chip company frantically exporting various chips to the Dragon Kingdom.
at the same time.
They were also madly spitting out the fragrance of the eagle sauce in their hearts.
Yingjiang's double-standard behavior made them angry but afraid to speak out.
As for ASML, it's even worse.
Originally, I went to America to ask the Obama administration to relax restrictions on exports from the Dragon Kingdom.
As a result, the goal was not achieved.
They also put the blame for Longguo's lithography machine technology breakthrough on ASML.
What is said is that ASML betrayed the organization and secretly leaked the core technology of the lithography machine.
otherwise.
Why did Maolongguo's lithography machine suddenly achieve a breakthrough?
It must be your ASML fault.
It’s unreasonable anymore!
Rogue!
This made Wen Kening unable to express his sorrow. He returned to Tulip Country in despair and quickly held a high-level meeting.
First, he scolded Yingjiang for his double standards at the meeting.
Then the topic changed and he said that Yingjiang would investigate ASML and everyone should be prepared.
To this.
ASML is also filled with indignation.
The blame can be thrown on ASML's head, which is enough.
But what else can they do?
When they were drawn into the EUV-LCC alliance, they sold their souls and agreed to various requests made by the American government to review ASML.
Now, no matter how bitter and unpalatable the fruit is, they will still have to swallow it with broken teeth.
And after learning that Nikang and Jianeng were slashing prices, they even offered to sell lithography machines at a discount to the mainland of Longguo.
for example.
The original price of a low-end lithography machine was 60 million yuan. The price was first reduced by 5%, and then a 10% discount was applied on this basis. Finally, one machine was priced at 51 million yuan.
Domestic chip manufacturers that need photolithography machines are going crazy.
Wen Kening and others also suddenly became ill.
This should be their ASML market.
After all, the lithography machines of Nicom and Canon cannot compete with their ASML lithography machines, even if their ASML lithography machines are three times more expensive than those of Nicom and Shineng.
As a result, now restricted by America's ban, I can only watch Ni Kang and Jianeng being sold off in the Longguo market.
but.
After discussion at ASML, a unanimous decision was made.
Although America rejected their request to relax restrictions on exporting photolithography machines to the Dragon Kingdom, they could not sit still and wait for death.
Save the country through curves.
How to save the country through curves?
Very simple.
Tie America's consortium to ASML's chariot.
Without seeing America's chip manufacturer, they obtained permission from America's government.
This is the strength of the America Consortium.
If delicious financial groups are tied to the chariot, how can these financial groups not take the initiative to put pressure on America for their own benefit?
and.
In this way, they also have money to increase the research and development of EUV lithography machines.
To know.
The research and development of photolithography machines is extremely expensive.
ASML invests up to 1 billion euros in research and development funds every year, which accounts for 25% of the company's net profit.
This is not a small amount.
Even if lithography machines are very profitable, ASML is the leader in the lithography machine industry. It is a bit difficult to spend so much money on research and development every year.
But it won’t work if we don’t invest the money.
Now Longguo’s domestic lithography machines have achieved major technological breakthroughs.
This makes ASML very nervous.
One more opponent means that ASML will sell one less photolithography machine and make one less penny.
Longguo’s domestic lithography machines are coming in force.
and.
Whenever a certain technology in Longguo makes a major breakthrough, the related products will be priced at cabbage prices.
Now they can sell a DUV for 30 million euros, which is nearly 200 million yuan per unit.
Maybe when Shanghai Microelectronics develops and expands, the price will directly reach 50 to 60 million yuan per unit.
In order to maintain their technology monopoly, they must invest huge amounts of research and development funds to develop EUV lithography machines as soon as possible to ensure their technology monopoly.
This requires money.
Lots and lots of money.
Time blinks.
It's December.
during this time.
The hottest news in the world is the news that Guo Qianlongguo's lithography machine has achieved a major technological breakthrough."
This news.
Like a blockbuster, it was thrown into the lithography machine industry and caused huge waves in the entire industry.
The three major lithography machine giants are all panicking.
at the same time.
The global chip industry structure will also undergo drastic changes as a result.
recent.
Many chip manufacturers in America have cut prices in large quantities to export chips to Dragon Country.
Rottt.....
America has even relaxed export restrictions on some high-end chips.
This is a clear signal.
To this.
Many domestic media also reported extensively.
Many media are advocating that this is a great and major victory for Longguo Technology.
It was America's chip industry that surrendered to the Dragon Kingdom.
With the encouragement of these media.
It also made the melon-eating people in the country get a little carried away.
However, there are still a small number of media people who call for a rational view of this matter.
These rational media people said that we should not blindly think that it was our efforts to break their monopoly that led to price cuts. Is it that simple?
In fact, price cuts are the beginning of suppressing domestic chips.
To this.
These rational media people also used the example of the "Battle of Victoria C" in the last century.
America's chip manufacturers are not soft on the domestic market.
Instead, they use price cuts to suppress the profit margins of domestic chips, causing investments to exceed returns and forcing domestic chip companies to go bankrupt.
These rational media people called for support for domestic chips and give domestic chips a little more time.
if not.
Once domestic chip companies are squeezed out, a wave of bankruptcies will occur.
Then the American chip manufacturer, which has no competitors, can raise prices again to cut leeks.
However.
Although there are such rational appeals.
But they are a minority after all.
In addition, America is really good at infiltrating fishing boats.
So much so.
Such appeals are only seen in the minority.
An absolute portion of the melon-eating public has been brainwashed by various articles advocating the victory of Longguo Chip.
Although domestic lithography machines have made major breakthroughs, they have set off widespread fishing in the country.
But the heat didn't last.
For ordinary people who eat melon, except for the first few days, it feels very fresh, delicious and exciting.
Afterwards I lost interest.
Only the technology circle is still very concerned about the subsequent development.
And it’s December.
In the entertainment industry.
Future Pictures has begun to vigorously promote the upcoming New Year's Day release of "Ghost, Lights Out", a film adapted from the popular online article "Ghost, Lights Out".
Future Pictures has been planning since the end of last year to buy out the copyright and polish the script.
In February and March this year, we will get the license, find the leading actors, and a series of other things.
The film wraps up in August.
After that, there is a series of things such as video editing, reshooting, and review by the General Administration.
The finalized release date is New Year's Day.
With the extensive publicity of Future Pictures, the eyes of ordinary people are also focused on this. .
