Chapter 1251 Three Major Semiconductor Factories Invest 38.5 Billion Euros In Asml
In order to obtain a license to export photolithography machines to Longguo.
Wen Kening racked his brains and came up with a plan to save the country in a curve-the customer joint investment plan.
He wants to bring Intel, Sanxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the three major global semiconductor manufacturers, onto ASML's chariot.
The idea is good.
But there was no internal agreement.
The opposition was too strong.
because.
According to Wen Kening's plan, ASML will invest 25% of its equity.
Originally, the fate of ASML was not in my hands.
If so many shares are taken out again, these opponents worry that ASML will be completely controlled by America.
therefore.
The client joint investment plan, on the board of directors, has also been delayed again and again.
But now.
There is no time to drag it out any longer.
ASML must make a decision as soon as possible.
Because Shanghai Microelectronics will not give them time.
Faced with Wen Kening's persuasion.
finally.
The client co-investment plan was approved by the board of directors.
soon.
ASML has sent invitations to three semiconductor giants: Intel, Shangxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Invite the three major manufacturers to join the customer joint investment plan and invest in ASML.
As soon as the news came out.
It immediately caused an uproar in the industry.
"Holy shit! ASML actually invited three major semiconductor giants to invest in ASML. It's crazy. The world is crazy!"
"There is no doubt that ASML feels threatened, so it is ready to shake people off."
"The breakthrough of domestic lithography machines has completely broken the original market structure. Even ASML, the industry leader, smells the danger and has to seek changes."
"Some time ago, the CEO of ASML went to America to apply for an export license, but was rejected. The first person invited to this customer joint investment plan was Intel. It seems that he wanted to take a curveball approach to save the country. As long as If Intel becomes the majority shareholder of ASML, then ASML can ask Intel to put pressure on the American government to obtain permission to export lithography machines to Longguo."
"The technological breakthrough of domestic lithography machines has directly disrupted the entire lithography machine market. During this period, Nikang and Jianeng were crazy about selling low-end lithography machines to Longguo chip manufacturers. They were preparing to take advantage of the last moment. Window made a fortune in the Longguo market, otherwise there will be no profit in the future."
"Whether it is the big sales of Nikang and Jianeng in the Longguo market, or the customer joint investment plan launched by ASML, it all shows that with the technological breakthrough of domestic lithography machines, the three things that have ignored us before The giant lithography machine manufacturers are now in a hurry, and they are very anxious."
Netizens who eat melons are talking a lot.
The purpose of ASML in doing this was quickly analyzed.
Previously, ASML had a tough attitude towards the Dragon Country market.
Whether I sell it or not depends on my ASML mood.
But now.
Everything has changed.
If you like ASML, sell it or not. If you don't, it will bring you down.
When ASML saw this situation, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed that it was bad.
So his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
ASML launched the "Customer Joint Investment Plan" and invited the three major semiconductor giants Intel, Suntech and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to join.
As soon as the news came out, it aroused widespread attention and heated discussion in the industry.
Everyone is also looking at Intel, Sanxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
I want to know what the attitude of the three major semiconductor manufacturers is in the face of the olive branch offered by ASML.
soon.
In the face of ASML's invitation, Intel, Sanxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. gave their answers.
Whether it's Intel, Sanxing, or Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
They all expressed interest in the ‘Customer Joint Investment Plan’ launched by ASML and were willing to talk to ASML.
This answer made everyone at ASML very excited.
Speak the truth.
The reason why ASML wants to export lithography machines to mainland manufacturers in Longguo is because of money.
Currently, ASML has to fight on two fronts: 18-inch lithography machines and EUV, and it really doesn’t have that much money.
Moreover, the risks of EUV are huge, and the probability of creating a pile of scrap iron is not low.
ASML urgently needs a large amount of funds to support its two-front operations.
Due to America's policy blockade, ASML really wants to export a large number of photolithography machines to mainland manufacturers in Longguo.
But Nai He is powerless.
The technological breakthrough of Longguo's domestic lithography machine gave Wen Kening an opportunity to successfully apply for a license.
pity.
America's official attitude is very firm.
Wen Kening's words were worn out, but he failed to succeed.
On the one hand, there is a lack of money for R&D [10] On the other hand, it faces losing the Longguo market.
Wen Kening was very anxious and angry.
Good thing.
The method of saving the country through curves has brought a glimmer of hope.
Intel, Sanxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. did not refuse and expressed interest in the joint investment plan.
soon.
The heads of the four major semiconductor manufacturers met.
Wen Kening explained the details of the client's joint investment plan to Ou Dening, Zhang Zhongmou and Li Jianxi in detail.
…………Please give me flowers 0
Wen Kening hopes that Intel, Sanxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can invest in ASML to accelerate the development progress of 18-inch wafer (450mm) machines and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines, as well as solve the problem of global semiconductor 18-inch wafers. Technical bottleneck.
If these technical bottlenecks can be solved, it will be very beneficial to the three major semiconductor manufacturers Intel, Sanxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
A few days after the meeting of the four leaders.
Intel was the first to make a decision.
Intel expressed its willingness to invest in ASML.
Intel will invest in ASML in two phases starting in early May.
It will initially invest 2.1 billion meters of gold to acquire 10% of ASML's equity, and then invest another 1 billion meters of gold to acquire 5% of the equity, for a total of 15% of ASML's equity.
at the same time.
Intel also invested about 1 billion meters of gold in ASML to accelerate the introduction of 18-inch wafer equipment and EUV lithography technology.
Intel's total investment amount is about 4.1 billion meters.
As soon as the news came out.
The whole world was in an uproar.
Domestic and foreign media organizations have reported on this.
"Intel plans to invest 4.1 billion yuan in ASML, accounting for 15% of the shares. 》
"ASML received strong support, Intel invested 4.1 billion meters in batches. 》
"Intel's investment will solve ASML's urgent needs. 》
Just when everyone was talking about Intel's big deal.
Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has also made a decision.
Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. announced that it has joined ASML's "Customer Joint Investment Project" and plans to invest approximately 838 million euros in ASML to obtain 5% of the company's equity. It will also invest a total of 276 million euros in the next five years to support ASML's 18-inch wafer equipment and EUV microelectronics. Film equipment research and development plan.
As soon as the news came out, the industry was once again in an uproar.
at the same time.
Everyone looked at Sanxing involuntarily.
Both Intel and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. have chosen to invest in ASML. What choice will Sanxing make?
This comes more than a week after Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. announced its investment in ASML.
Sanxing finally announced its final decision.
Sanxing also announced that it would join ASML's "customer joint investment project" and agreed to invest 503 million euros to acquire approximately 3% of ASML's equity, and promised to invest 276 million euros in the next five years to develop next-generation development equipment.
So far.
ASML invited Intel, Sanxing and Tito Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to invest in ASML's plan, and all three major semiconductor manufacturers joined.
Intel, Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Sanxing, the three major semiconductor manufacturers, collectively hold about 23% of ASML's shares, with a total amount of about 38.5 billion euros. .
