Chapter 400 The mist in the water
Wu Xinyi's face looked uncertain. As a veteran in the semiconductor industry, he was very familiar with the fighting in this industry.
As the top industry in the field of technology, there have been too many stories surrounding this industry, including the grudges between major semiconductor companies, the bloody stories between Intel and AMD, and IBM’s trouble with Intel. Add blockage and so on.
There is also the dispute between Japan Benzene, Old Europe and America Semiconductor, America's suppression of Japan Benzene Semiconductor, etc., all of which happened in this industry.
Revolving around semiconductors, a large number of upstream and downstream companies such as photolithography machines, chip companies, wafer factories, and semiconductor materials are fighting each other but joining forces to keep warm, forming a global $600 billion world. !
It’s not Wu Xinyi’s conspiracy theory, but he has witnessed the intrigues in this industry with his own eyes. He knows how America, Nippon, and Old Europe treat their opponents. They cherish their technical skills and are unwilling to leak even a little bit to their opponents.
In order to attack their opponents, they will do anything they can. Take a look at how America has dealt with the Japanese semiconductor industry in recent years, and you will know the ferocity and intensity of the fighting.
Wu Xinyi’s first thought was when he suddenly heard that Li Dongling asked Dongxin Semiconductor to stock up on equipment and parts, so as to make plans to no longer be able to buy photolithography machines, chip equipment, materials and parts from overseas. , something big is about to happen.
“Is it possible that...the Batumi Agreement will start to appear again?”
Wu Xinyi’s voice couldn’t help but change a little. Dongxin Semiconductor is developing lithography machines, A large part of the equipment, components, materials, etc. used in chip projects are imported from overseas.
Without overseas equipment and parts, if we do it ourselves or invest in other domestic companies to replace it, the price we have to pay is really too high.
The Batumi Agreement was established to deal with the furry bear, but after the furry bear fell to the ground and America became the global hegemon, the Batumi Agreement was also disbanded.
The domestic technology industry has also undergone earth-shaking changes due to the dissolution of this agreement. The computer industry is the most obvious example. Previously, because of this agreement, America, Old Europe, and Japan and Benzene , computers cannot enter the country on a large scale.
However, after the dissolution of Batumi, coupled with domestic tariff adjustments on computers and other products, various overseas computer brands began to impact the domestic market, almost wiping out domestic computer companies, and defending the banner of domestic computer brands. , was also raised at that time, and the most powerful one was Lenovo...
However, the entire domestic computer industry, from brand manufacturers to component manufacturers, has undergone earth-shaking changes. Foreign Intel, Computer software and core parts companies represented by Microsoft have completely occupied most of the domestic market.
Li Dongling looked at Wu Xinyi, "Not sure yet, but there is news that this year America and more than 30 regions held a meeting in Wassenaar, the Netherlands, and may launch a new one similar to Brazil next year. Agreement on the Unification Agreement to target areas that have not joined this agreement!”
Li Dongling did not speak out about the Wassenaar Agreement, but Wu Xinyi did not have any doubts about Li Dongling’s words.
After all, with Tanglin Hi-tech’s current position in the technology industry, as well as the Economic and Trade Commission and other departments, it is not a problem at all for Tanglin Hi-tech to reveal some inside information to Tanglin Hi-tech. On the contrary, if Tanglin Hi-tech If you don’t know the inside story of these industries and don’t prepare in advance, then you may have a problem.
In fact, before the Wassenaar Agreement, whether in America, old Europe, Japan, Japan, Bangzi, etc., they were already wary of domestic companies. Some top equipment, including high-end precision In fact, machine tools, chemical instruments, semiconductor equipment, etc. are not sold domestically, but they are not disclosed openly. This is a situation where everyone knows it but does not make it clear.
But as soon as the Wassenaar Agreement comes out next year, it will basically clarify its attitude and have an excuse. In the high-tech field, it will start to target the country. Of course, it is not just the country, but also all places that have not joined the agreement. Regional companies that want to take the lead in the technology industry are disgusted by this agreement. This agreement is like the sophon in the Three-Body Problem, trying to lock down technology in certain places.
It’s just that as the only place in the world that has a full industrial system and a technology tree that explodes too fast, the country feels more deeply about this agreement!
Wu Xinyi's face already showed an anxious look. He has been in no mood this year. "Mr. Li, Dongxin Semiconductor needs to apply for more funds. It needs to come from an agency in Hong Kong City and a public relations company to purchase more technology, equipment, materials, and production lines. I'm afraid it will cost a lot. !" Wu Xinyi said.
“You don’t need to worry about funds. Tanglin High-tech Port City Company currently has some foreign exchange in US dollars, Europe and Japanese yen in its account. If it’s not enough, the headquarters can provide it. Go to the Foreign Exchange Department to get more foreign exchange for Dongxin Semiconductor!”
Hearing Li Dongling’s words, Wu Xinyi nodded heavily. At this time, he had no intention of staying any longer and wanted to go back to the provincial capital! , take stock of the technology, equipment, and components needed by Dongxin Semiconductor, and then purchase them from overseas. After the first half of next year, if you want to buy them again, you may not have a chance!
After Wu Xinyi left, Li Dongling felt that Dongling Hi-Tech Headquarters, Dongfang Optoelectronics, Shenzhou Storage and other companies also needed to prepare in advance and stock up on things that should be stocked in advance.
After the Wassenaar Agreement is implemented, we can only use troops to cover up the water and earth, otherwise we can only lie down and let the mermaids eat their flesh.
But as for saying that it is too unfounded, there is no need to worry. In fact, the Wassenaar Agreement is not without any loopholes.
After all, if you look at the areas that signed this agreement, Lao Maozi and Asan are still there, you will know what the members of this agreement are, and there will be cooperation between them. But expecting to work together is simply overthinking, even if America and Old Europe are still plotting against each other.
Even during the Batumi Agreement, Sweden, France, Italy, West Germany and even England were all flirting with Mao Xiong, and many of them sold high-end precision machine tools and other equipment to Mao Xiong, that is, America used the excuse to deal with Japanese benzene and Toshiba, and these young men calmed down.
Although Old Europe and America are in the same camp, it does not mean that Old Europe is really willing to serve as cannon fodder for America. It is true that they are afraid of woolly bears, but they do not want America to become their living father. They are used as blood packs for bleeding.
And there are also a lot of 25 people in America, especially those on Wall Street. As long as they are profitable, they don’t care about Capitol Hill or not. During World War II, those Wall Street companies wanted to make a fortune. , but they sent a lot of money and supplies to Germany.
Before Dongxin Semiconductor and Tanglin Hi-tech were officially included in America’s target list, Li Dongling felt that he needed to recruit a few young people from America to serve as Tanglin Hi-tech’s agents in America. Lobbyist's.
The listing of Feiyan Technology is an opportunity to cooperate with the boldest and most powerful investment banks and public relations companies on Wall Street. Goldman Sachs will definitely bear the brunt.
As long as they can earn US dollars, Goldman Sachs and Wall Street companies will definitely be willing to support Donglin Semiconductor. Through them, they can reduce some of the pressure on Donglin Hi-Tech. Dak has hyped up some concepts and created a company like NVIDIA, whose market value has doubled a hundred times in a few years. Wall Street is probably willing to pay a huge price for this and lobby for Tanglin Hi-Tech.
But no matter how you say it, next year will be a year of huge changes for Donglin Hi-Tech and the entire domestic technology industry. Whether it is a crisis or an opportunity depends on how you operate it!
......
While Li Dongling was thinking, a huge cheer came from outside.
The Administrative Department of Donglin High-tech has posted this year’s year-end bonus plan. Most employees will receive four months’ salary as their year-end bonus, while supervisors and technical departments will receive six months’ salary as their year-end bonus. Department-selected Outstanding staff representatives will receive one year's salary as a year-end bonus, and there will also be other prizes!
