Technological Hegemony

Tokyo, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.

Takeda Kumaichi practiced ikebana in his office. There were many fresh flowers on the table, including chrysanthemums, green box, gentian, iris, wakamatsu, juniper, and kidney fern.

In addition, there is a complete set of professional and exquisite props, flower vessels, sword mountains, flower scissors, and iron wire.

In this country that believes in Shintoism, almost everything is endowed with a heavy sense of ritual.

When you eat, you should put your hands together and shout "I'm starting!" When you buy something in the mall, you should bow to the shopping assistant. When you pay, you should use both hands and put the banknotes in a special small basket. A very exaggerated expression.

In short, to live in this country and do anything, you have to pretend to be very stylish.

Even if you commit suicide, you have to dress neatly, wear a tie, and choose off-peak hours to jump off the train tracks to avoid trouble for everyone.

Takeda Kumaichi is very focused. His ikebana is not the Ohara style, the Sogetsu style, or the Shogetsudo style, but the Ikebo style style with the longest history and the highest style.

The flower vessel is 25 centimeters, measured with No. 9 Jianshan and a ruler, cut out 20 centimeters long vertical branches, and then gently inserted two chrysanthemums, this is what Tachibana Zhengfengti called "Chuzhen".

Then add 'Zhengzhen', that is, green box leaves, and then insert two short chrysanthemums, as 'please', insert two calamus of different lengths behind, as 'Miyue' in the flower arrangement, and insert Wakamatsu after the calamus. ..

When Takeda Kumaichi was about to insert the 'flow', his secretary-general Makoto Tanibe knocked on the door, walked in respectfully, and brought the latest report from the Huaxia Headquarters.

"Read!" Takeda Kumaichi continued his ikebana and said to Makoto Hasebe.

So, Makoto Hasebe opened the folder and read the report.

In the report, the members of the Huaxia Headquarters brought the latest news that the Xingchen Chemical Factory in Qidong had stopped production and began to update equipment.

At the same time, the second phase of the project is still going on. They have allocated a large piece of land in the coastal area, and the construction team of Sinochem Construction is entering the site to start the first step of the project, civil engineering.

The Huaxia Headquarters also received news from the equipment supplier that Xingchen Chemical adjusted the equipment purchase order and newly purchased the world's most advanced chemical synthesis coagulation equipment.

When Takeda Kuma heard this, he frowned slightly.

The factory shut down, saying that Xingxingchen Chemical lost its pants and was unable to continue production.

However, newly purchased expensive chemical synthesis equipment, and the second phase of the project started as scheduled, what does this mean?

Makoto Hasebe continued to read, and the news that followed was even more shocking.

Star Technology has contacted the four domestic photoresist manufacturers, Jiangsu Boyue, Gusu Ruihong, Jingcheng Kehua, and Shanghai Xinyang, and seems to intend to transfer the technology and patents it has obtained in the field of photoresist.

snort!

Takeda Kumaichi was not in the mood, and continued his high-end ikebana, and let out a cold snort.

These four factories are very familiar with Takeda Kumaichi, because they have been working very hard to break into the high-end photoresist field, but due to the limitation of technical capabilities, they have not yet formed an international factory headed by Shin-Etsu, DuPont, and TOK. threaten.

Among them, Gusu Ruihong is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jingrui Co., Ltd., which undertakes the 02 special project in my country, and mainly produces low-end I-line photoresist and mid-end KRF photoresist.

And Jingcheng Kehua is the main manufacturer of G-line photoresist, and also has KRF and ARF, two mid-range photoresist production lines.

As for Shanghai Xinyang, it is even more hateful. They are the major shareholders of Shanghai Xinsheng, and what does Xinsheng do?

They make silicon wafers!

That is, the most upstream wafer in the semiconductor industry!

The so-called photolithography, etching, ion implantation, on what basis are these advanced processes completed?

It is on the basis of the wafer!

If you want to make a chip, you must first have a wafer, and then develop various high-tech processes on the wafer,

The final packaging and testing can become a common chip for ordinary people.

Originally, my country did not have the ability to manufacture high-purity silicon wafers, that is, wafers.

However, as colleagues in the domestic science and technology industry continue to make efforts in various fields, there are already two factories, Shanghai Xinsheng and Zhonghuan, which are slowly starting to produce silicon wafers.

Among them, Hudu Xinsheng has been losing money for many years, and its financial report for the first half of this year shows that they can start to make profits from silicon wafers, an important semiconductor upstream project!

Although the profit is not much, since they can already make money from the silicon wafer project, they will definitely invest more crazily in the future.

Chinese manufacturers have always been doing this kind of operation. As long as the industry that can make money, they will definitely enter in a large scale, until the blood of killing is like a river, and the international big manufacturers have to withdraw from the market because the return is too low.

Now the whole world refers to China as a developed country shredder.

It is because once Chinese manufacturers start to enter a certain field, the products in this field will be made into Chinese cabbage by them immediately, driving those international big manufacturers to death.

Takeda Kumaichi felt angry, unparalleled anger!

He's almost going crazy!

Because in the field of silicon wafers, Neon Shin-Etsu Chemical has a 28% share, Neon has a 25% share, Wanwan Global Wafer has a 17% share, Germany's Siltronic has a 15% share, and South Korea's LG has a 9% share. The five of them together accounted for 94% of the world!

It can be seen that Shin-Etsu Chemical is the world's largest player in the field of silicon wafers, and Star Technology is Shin-Etsu Chemical's most hated enemy.

But now, the star technology that Kumaichi Takeda hates the most has united with the Shanghai City Xinyang that he hates the second. This damn is the rhythm of rebellion! ?

Makoto Hasebe had a stern expression, "President, Star Technology is a typical high-tech high-value-added company. They won't do it in an industry without profits, but Shanghai Xinyang will do it, and other Huaxia manufacturers will also do it. able to do."

"Originally, they were far behind us in terms of technology. After we started the price reduction offensive, the situation of these four local Chinese companies was in a precarious situation, and they were on the verge of collapse."

"If at this time, the four of them get the technology of Star Technology, they can immediately put into the production of mid-range and high-end photoresist products."

"And the four of them are different from Star Technology. Star Technology pursues high profits. So far, the profit margin of all their products is higher than 40 percent."

"As for the four photoresist factories headed by Shanghai Xinyang, their profit margins are very low. As long as they have a profit of 5%, or even 3%, they will continue to do so."

"Star Technology's technology transfer is really too ruthless. They don't make low-margin products, but let others do it. They quit the market where they can't make money, but they have cultivated four of our competitors. Let Xinyang lead the big four. The factory is at war with us."

"I'm afraid this is their revenge. The four major manufacturers in China who have the technology will definitely fight us to the end in the field of photoresist."

"It turned out that we only had one opponent, Xingchen Technology, but now, it has become four overnight!"

Makoto Hasebe shut up after he finished speaking, because he saw that the president was trembling all over.

"idiot!"

"idiot!"

Takeda Kumaichi jumped into a rage, and knocked down the powerful work of Ikebo-ryu, the oldest school of ikebana, and smashed it to pieces.

Sure enough, everything always has a price.

The price for annoying Luo Jia is that he found four powerful opponents for Takeda Kumaichi overnight!

These four companies are all companies with national team backgrounds!

They are different from private companies like Luo Jia. For the sake of market share and domestic substitution, they can bear huge losses, and can desperately kill the seventeen international giants like mad dogs!

This is too cruel!

It took Takeda Kumaichi a long time to calm down, and there were still a few veins popping out on his forehead.

Besides being angry, there was one more thing he didn't understand. Since Xingchen Technology didn't make low-margin products, why did they expand Xingchen Chemical in Qidong?

This mysterious and vicious company, what are they planning! ?
