1991 Starting from the core - Chapter 989

c987 ASML come here

“In a flash, it’s already been 2009, and the first decade of the new century is coming soon.”

In the video, Ye Rudai was lying lazily on the bed with a look of emotion on her face.

Su Yuanshan also put his hands behind his head and said with a smile: “Do you feel that time flies like an arrow and the sun and the moon fly by?”

Ye Rudai burst into laughter: “Pfft…you…have already taught me, and you still use the words used in primary school students’ compositions.”

“Hahahaha, composition is not my strong point. Besides, this sentence is really accurate…and in a blink of an eye, ten years have passed.”

The couple shut up and looked at each other at the same time, and soon they started laughing at the same time.

“By the way, what do the Europeans say? Do you have any confidence?” Ye Rudai smiled, not caring about the wrinkles that would appear at the corners of her eyes.

“Maybe, the negotiations are very difficult. The European and American semiconductor industries are still very wary of us…”

“Does that mean the negotiation can’t be concluded?”

“It’s not impossible to negotiate. It mainly depends on how you make concessions… After all, as far as semiconductors are concerned, or from Yuanxin’s standpoint, promoting the development and progress of the semiconductor industry is the most important thing, and it transcends politics.” Su Yuanshan His eyes flickered and he smiled slightly: “Personally, I’m just worried that Silicon Valley will do something else… After all, we have been bitten by snakes, right?”

Ye Rudai hummed slightly, then smiled and said, “You should tell Lao Ma this.”

“Hahaha, how can I be qualified? Why don’t you pass a message to me?”

“…It’s not convenient for me to take the initiative to speak. But if asked, I will tell the truth.”

The couple chatted for a while and then hung up.

Su Yuanshan was originally lying on the bed, but now he couldn’t sleep. He opened Weibo and browsed, then clicked on Lao Ma’s homepage – Lao Ma posted on Weibo before running for the election, which sent out a very obvious signal. , that is, they have clearly realized the importance of occupying the social media position.

Judging from his remarks on Weibo, this person is still creating a “people-friendly” persona just like history – so in less than half a year, he has millions of fans.

“It seems we are still slow…” Su Yuanshan sighed, looking at the supporting comments in various languages ​​​​on Lao Ma’s Weibo, shaking his head slightly.

//This involves some things that are completely unspeakable in the novel, so I won’t expand on them.

Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.

After New Year’s Day, the Spring Festival also jumped out of the calendar.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zheng Zhenchuan gave Su Yuanshan a big surprise with a phone call from Europe.

Regarding Macron’s merger and acquisition plan for ASML, it has been initially reached.

“Uncle Zheng, welcome to Yuanxin.”

Su Yuanshan stood at the gate of Yuanxin, with a smile on his face, and got out of the car towards Laoyuan, and then Zheng Zhenchuan, who almost jogged forward, stretched out his hand from a distance.

Zheng Zhenchuan’s hair has been completely dyed black, and he looks very energetic.

“Come here? Are you raising me up like this?” Zheng Zhenchuan held Su Yuanshan tightly with his right hand, but patted Su Yuanshan’s shoulder hard with his left hand: “Let’s go, let’s go, no ink marks.”

“Well, no ink, everyone is waiting for you.”

While the two were talking, they entered the Yuanxin Administration Building directly, followed the elevator all the way to the top, and then went straight to the rooftop garden.

Everyone who arrived at the rooftop garden first stood up and applauded for a while.

Zheng Zhenchuan cupped his hands with a smile on his face: “Everyone, you’re welcome…”

——Zheng Zhenchuan came to participate in the executive board of directors of Yuanxin today as a specially invited friend, not to become an executive director. After all, the nature of Hongxin is quite special, and it will be even more special in the future.

The reason why he was invited is naturally because Yuanxin is essentially a semiconductor company.

…

After inviting Zheng Zhenchuan to sit down, Su Yuanshan looked at everyone and said with a smile: “Let’s make a long story short. Today we mainly discuss the future development trend of the semiconductor industry. Of course, since Mr. Zheng has been invited, he must first listen to what Mr. Zheng has to say. Let’s talk about how Macchip did it, and what is the technological development route and progress of lithography machines in the future – Uncle Zheng, we are all eagerly waiting for you.”

Su Yuanshan made a gesture of invitation as he spoke.

Zheng Zhenchuan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and breathed out softly.

Of course he wasn’t nervous or anything – he knew everyone here, and he had been dealing with many of them for many years. He let out a long sigh, just to express his emotion.

“Everyone knows that the acquisition of ASML was not decided by either of us.”

Everyone nodded.

“So the acquisition of ASML is also a reshuffle and power and cake redistribution for the future lithography machine field, or the semiconductor upstream industry.”

“So, in the past six months, we have been discussing how to divide the cake.” Zheng Zhenchuan sighed again: “Everyone has also seen that Acer’s shareholding structure has changed. Intel, Xinghai, and AMD have invested in us at the same time.”

At this time, Li Mingliu asked: “Now that you and ASML have two plans for EUV, how will you allocate resources in the future?”

“Although there are two sets of design plans, the theoretical basis is the same. Next, we will integrate the two sets of plans and finally integrate a feasible EUV approach.”

“What is the current level of ASML’s EUV?”

“They are two versions faster than us, but they have no money for follow-up.” Zheng Zhenchuan smiled slightly: “This is also the basis for us to finally complete the merger and acquisition – and based on the current preliminary communication between us and the ASML teams, Some of our programs should be able to complete the replenishment.”

“So… what about the agreement signed between ASML and the United States?”

“Re-sign, in terms of EUV, to 35 percent.”

Li Mingliu glanced at Su Yuanshan and continued to ask: “What about… EUV Asia League? We spent so much money…”

“We have been working on the East Asia Semiconductor Alliance for ten years, and the current main achievements are still in the field of DUV. The EUV industry chain has not yet taken shape.” Zheng Zhenchuan looked at Li Mingliu with a smile: “Of course, the most important thing is that regardless of the current international form, Well, regardless of the technical advantages, we still can’t really completely exclude the west.”

Su Yuanshan also nodded in agreement: “In other words, the price of being excluded is too high, so high that we can’t afford it at the moment.”

——This is the real reason why he is determined to promote Acer’s acquisition of EUV.

He does not dare to bet, and the European and American semiconductor industries do not dare to place heavy bets on EUV – if the West really gets anxious and uses the Cold War mentality to engage in EUV, then Acer will really have nothing to do but stare blankly.

——No matter how harmonious the three East Asian countries seem to be now, it is absolutely impossible for those two countries to completely tie their future and destiny to the mainland, at least not now.

So the best way is to divide the cake again.

Fortunately, EUV is no different from other equipment. It is not a “machine” that can be built as long as it has the industrial capabilities of equipment and parts. Design capabilities and design wisdom even account for most of the factors.

The reason why domestic macrochip was able to rise was essentially because it unleashed its design capabilities and then seized the opportunities of globalization, eventually becoming the dominant player in the integrated market.

Zheng Zhenchuan finally smiled and said: “Anyway, this is a good thing for the semiconductor industry.”

(Writing, deleting, and deleting, but in the end not much was left, alas.)
