Rebirth of Cyber ​​Hegemony

"This is difficult, I am the middle man."

"Mr. Zhang, what are you?"

"Haha, Ben hard, why, I can't call you without TSMC?"

"Mr. Zhang, I didn't mean that."

"How about at Huanyu Technology?"

"fine."

"Oh, I didn't think about it at the beginning, it's hard, you won't blame me."

"Mr. Zhang, you have always been a person I respect very much."

"Ben hard, thank you."

"Mr. Zhang, you must never say that."

"This is difficult, do you think that with the strength of Huanyu Technology, they can make a lithography machine? Of course, I am not just talking about funds, I believe you know better than me about the technology involved."

"I do not know either."

"If we at TSMC support your wet process, do you think the probability is greater."

"Mr. Zhang, have you decided?"

"Yes. But, you know, I have always believed in you, and I want you to return to TSMC."

"I……"

"This is difficult, TSMC has always been your home. I hesitated and didn't make a decision before, not because I didn't believe you. But..."

"Mr. Zhang, I know."

"In this case, this is difficult, you come back."

"boss Zhang……"

Lin Ben on the other end of the phone was taken aback.

He actually has deep feelings for Zhang Zhongmou.

At the same time, he also spent a good time at TSMC.

His experience, his brilliance, and his many things are all in TSMC.

Suddenly.

Lin Benqian almost agreed to Zhang Zhongmou's invitation.

He could hear that this was a sincere invitation by Zhang Zhongmou.

Moreover, Zhang Zhongmou has not done anything to apologize to him all the time.

Although Zhang Zhongmou hesitated and did not decide to enter the field of wet lithography, any entrepreneur would hesitate with such a large investment.

Can……

Everything did not start again.

If you don't come to Huanyu Technology, everything will be fine.

But now that Huanyu Technology is here...

Thinking of the energetic, world-focused, amazing young man.

Lin Benjian shook his head: "I'm sorry. I have joined Universal Technology. If I return to TSMC now, I would be too sorry for Mr. Chen. Moreover, I am not such a person."

"Ugh……"

Zhang Zhongmou shook his right hand holding the phone.

"Ben hard, don't say sorry, it's me who said I'm sorry. Ben hard, no matter whether you are at TSMC or not, we are still the same as before."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"That's it, it's difficult, so let's hang up first."

With a sigh, Zhang Zhongmou hung up the phone.

In fact, before making this call, Zhang Zhongmou knew that Lin Benqian could not return to TSMC.

Lin Benqian is not such a person, even if Zhang Zhongmou promises any conditions.

In fact, Zhang Zhongmou didn't offer any conditions, he still impressed Lin Benqian with his old feelings.

He felt that only this way could move Lin Ben hard.

But I can only say regret.

Although the old love is good and worth remembering, it is not Lin Ben's principle of life.

At that time, Zhang Zhongmou didn't think about it clearly. Now that he thinks about it clearly, everything is too late.

"Zhang Lei, contact asml company, I want to chat with their CEO."

"Mr. Zhang, have you really decided?"

"This difficult departure is a big loss for TSMC. If I don't decide, we will have no chance."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I will contact asml immediately."

A few days later.

Zhang Zhongmou, the founder and chairman of TSMC, personally went to the Dutch asml lithography machine company.

"Mr. Zhang, do you want to study the wet lithography process?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Zhang, you should know that if you follow Lin Ben-hard's wet theory, the investment in this area must be at least 10 billion U.S. dollars. This 10 billion U.S. dollars is still underestimated by me."

"I know too."

"Mr. Zhang, I appreciate your courage, but we asml really can't spend so much money."

"What if I say that TSMC can inject capital into asml?"

"TSMC alone is not enough, unless you do your best to cooperate with us regardless of cost."

"Then if I pull on Intel, Samsung, what about them?"

"Zhang, can you convince Intel and Samsung?"

Asml president "Peter Win" was a little excited.

In fact, he is naturally aware of TSMC's intentions.

As the world's largest chip foundry company, TSMC has now accepted the challenge from Huanyu Technology.

Although this challenge has not had much impact for the time being, Center International's business is temporarily in the low-end chip segment.

But everyone knows that Huanyu Technology has a huge capital flow and a terrifying Chinese market.

In the future, TSMC will inevitably have a war with Center International.

Only asml also knows.

The development of wet lithography may be the only way to solve the current dry technology.

But even if this is the only one, the huge amount of funds makes it impossible for asml to make this determination.

On the one hand, they don't have the funds.

On the other hand, even if they can get so much capital, they may not be able to occupy the market.

After all, asml only produces lithography machines.

What if TSMC, Intel, Samsung, these chip manufacturing companies are uncertain about their lithography machines?

The market can often determine the life and death of upstream companies.

For example, although asml has a certain market share in the field of lithography machines, Nikon and Canon in Japan are not bad in their lithography machine technology. At the same time, Intel and Samsung are also their customers.

But if Intel, TSMC, and Samsung can be combined with them, let them become shareholders of asml.

Undoubtedly, this gives asml a layer of insurance.

In the future, as long as it is a lithography machine produced by asml, they will buy it as soon as possible.

certainly.

For TSMC, Intel, and Samsung, investing in asml is equivalent to signing a strategic agreement.

As long as asml develops the wet lithography machine, they must sell it to their own shareholders in the first place.

Even, they can decide to cut off from their competitors.

Such cooperation is beneficial to all parties.

However, after asml president "Peter Winner" calmed down, he seemed to hesitate a bit.

"Mr. Peter Win, do you have any questions?"

"Mr. Zhang, you may not be able to convince Samsung and Intel."

After finishing speaking, Peter Win continued: "Samsung and Intel not only have chip manufacturing business, but they also have end-consumer business. They may not be willing to spend huge amounts of money to develop wet lithography processes."

To put it simpler.

That is, besides making their own chips, Samsung and Intel can also sell products.

Even if it is subject to competition from Center International, the impact is not significant.

But TSMC is different.

TSMC is only a chip foundry business, they only charge foundry costs, they do not have products.

They cannot sell the foundry chips to other manufacturers.

Nor does it package the chip into a certain electronic product directly to the consumer.

This is why TSMC, not Samsung or Intel, came to the Netherlands.

Because TSMC faces the biggest challenge.

"Mr. Peter Wen, you are very right. Perhaps Intel and Samsung do not have so much pressure now. But this is not necessarily the case. You have to know that Huanyu Technology does not just want to make a chip as simple as that."

"Zhang, you say."

"Let’s analyze, Huanyu Technology has a center international, which stabilizes the chip foundry technology. But for Huanyu Technology, they feel that this is not enough insurance, because they feel that they do not have a lithography machine, so they will still Limited, so they wanted to be a lithography machine."

"This logic is normal. It's me, and I will have such a sense of crisis."

"But we know that chips are not just about chip manufacturing. Before chip manufacturing, he also has chip design."

"Are you talking about the Tianwen chip?"

"It's not just the sky asking the chip."

Zhang Zhongmou shook his head: "The Tianwen chip is just a microprocessor based on the arm architecture. Then, the idea is the same as before. When Huanyu Technology makes the chip by itself, they think that they don't have a lithography machine, so they want to do it. Lithography machine. Then when they were doing chip design, wouldn’t they think, why should it be based on the chip architecture of the arm company? Why, they didn’t come up with a different arm, different from other, completely their own What about the company’s independent structure?"

"this……"

With this, Peter Win became extremely serious.

In fact, he had heard before that Huanyu Technology was secretly working on their chip architecture.

But all the time, the new structure of Huanyu Technology has not come out.

Instead, it is the Tianwen chip based on the arm chip architecture ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and, with the support of the Tianwen chip, a series of electronic products of Universal Technology are developing very well.

Just as Peter Win gradually forgot about such a thing, Zhang Zhongmou mentioned it again.

For a company like Huanyu Technology, it is absolutely impossible for them to have just one intention.

"Mr. Zhang, do you think Huanyu Technology can make a new chip architecture?"

"I have no idea."

Zhang Zhongmou shook his head: "The technology is naturally okay, but the ecology is hard to say. But don't you think that Huanyu Technology has built its own ecology more and more?"

Pear mp3 series.

Huanyu mobile phone series.

Huanyu Computer Series.

Universal TV...

Could it be that Huanyu Technology is only doing this to make money?

Although these electronic products do not account for much of the entire global electronic products, they are connected together and have formed an ecosystem belonging to Huanyu Technology. Once this ecology becomes bigger, it is not TSMC, asml, that he has to challenge. He has to challenge Samsung, Intel, Microsoft, and ibm...

Once it's that time.

The young man born in the wild, he will begin to slay dragons.

"Mr. Zhang, after you said, I now feel that Huanyu Technology is a bit scary."

"Yes, maybe you don't know. When I first heard about Huanyu Technology, I didn't pay much attention to it. However, I dare not care about any news about Huanyu Technology now."

"If this is the case, will Intel and Samsung agree?"

"If they still want to control this market, they will definitely agree."

In this regard, Zhang Zhongmou is extremely confident.

"Mr. Zhang, I am waiting for your good news."

Peter Win did not hesitate any more, and said with a smile.
