Chapter 793: Going the opposite direction
"We cannot pay attention to every opponent, and of course we cannot underestimate any opponent, but we cannot be unreasonably worried and fall into meaningless internal friction!"
"I just heard about the Dongxin No. 1 lithography machine today. I have no idea about the authenticity of this lithography machine or its performance.
But based on the current technical analysis, in the short term, at least within 20 years, I cannot see that Dongxin lithography machine will pose a threat to Nikon lithography machine. This is not a product of the same era at all. 436nm lithography machine , Nikon is about to discontinue production..."
Facing the camera, Ichiro Tamjo said, "Currently, Nikon is not a competitor. Although we cannot be complacent, at present, Nikon's lithography machine is the best lithography machine in the world!
Nikon's biggest opponent is the fourth generation 193nm lithography machine. This is related to the progress of the global semiconductor industry, rather than focusing on a specific opponent! ”
When he said this, Ichiro Tianshou said with strong confidence that ASML, Philips, IBM, GCA, etc. are no longer rivals of Nikon and Canon, the two giants of Nikon lithography machines.
Even these old rivals are no match for Nikon. One of them came out of nowhere and turned out to be a junk photolithography machine that was left over from Nikon's play more than ten years ago.
As a result, someone asked Ichiro Tianshou whether Dongxin would threaten Nikon and how he could not be speechless.
Ichiro Tamjo felt that even if Nikon stayed put and waited for Dongxin for ten years, Dongxin’s lithography machines would not be able to catch up with Nikon!
Now, major lithography machine manufacturers such as Nikon, Canon, and ASML are most concerned about finding ways to develop fourth-generation lithography machines!
Whoever is the first to break through the fourth-generation lithography machine will be able to control the lithography machine industry. This is a winner-takes-all industry. The first in the industry eats meat, and the second and the following are not even guaranteed to have soup. Can drink.
Compared with the fourth-generation lithography machine, Dongxin's lithography machine is not worth mentioning at all. With the fourth-generation lithography machine, Ichiro Tadashi believes that competitors such as IBM and ASML may be the first to break through, but when it comes to Dongxin's future The first one to make a fourth-generation lithography machine, he didn’t believe it at all!
Ichiro Tianjo basically represents the Nippon Semiconductor industry. I can’t say that I despise Dongxin Semiconductor’s attitude. I can only say that Ichiro does not regard Dongxin as an opponent. In other words, Dongxin has not yet been able to exert influence on Nikon and others. threaten.
Moreover, Nippon Benzene is confident that it can use photoresist and other parts, patents, and technology to control Dongxin. Naturally, it thinks that Dongxin has nothing to fear.
……
Compared to Japan and Benzene, it is the American side. Intel is clamoring about the threat of Dongxin Semiconductor in the American media.
This is not because Intel is afraid of Dongxin, but because it is worried that after Dongxin produces its own lithography machines and builds a chip factory, it will start a chip price war with Intel in mainland China after mass-producing chips. Therefore, in America The media is clamoring about the threat of Dongxin Semiconductor.
"Dongxin Semiconductor is currently able to develop its own chips and lithography machines, which may pose a threat to America's chip security in the future, so I believe that the American Trade Commission, Commerce and other departments should launch an investigation into Dongxin Semiconductor!"
On a California television station, Laura Antoinson, who holds the title of chip industry expert, talked in front of the camera about the threat of Dongxin Semiconductor to America.
I just want to encourage the American Trade Commission and other departments to launch an investigation against Dongxin Semiconductor, directly strangle Dongxin to death, and solve the trouble once and for all.
"Sorry, Laura, I would like to ask, does this chip company from Asia surpass Intel, AMD and other local chip companies in America in terms of chip technology?"
"Of course not, Intel has the best chip technology in the world!"
Laura Antuson said without thinking that she was hired as a mouthpiece by Intel to accuse Dongxin, not to cause trouble for Intel.
If it is rumored in the media that Intel's technology is inferior to mainland companies that Americans regard as technology deserts, then Intel's stock price will be affected. When the big financier gets angry, she cannot afford the consequences. .
“What I mean is that Dongxin may have an uncertain impact on the security of America’s chip industry in the future!
Dongxin can develop its own chips and is currently building its own chip manufacturing plant. Now it has developed a photolithography machine. Although their technology is still very backward, they may pose a threat to America in the future! ”
The host of the California TV station listened to Laura Antoinson, saying contradictory words. On the one hand, she said that the other party was technologically backward, and on the other hand, she said that the other party was a threat. It was not obvious that she wanted to take advantage of the Federal Trade Commission. Are you helping Intel suppress its rivals? Isn’t it a bit too ugly to look at it?
Although America's giant companies have always looked bad, they can't let go of Bilian.
Seeing the look on the host's face, Laura Antuson knew that it would be difficult to encourage the Federal Trade Commission of America to take action based on these alone. "Uh!"
As soon as the conversation changed, Laura Antoinson knew that she had to concoct some big news in order to create hot news.
"What I mean is that Dongxin Semiconductor is a company with unstable factors. Its future is uncertain. Will it sell chips, lithography machines and other products to some areas that are not popular in America for non-civilian use?" military products, which is an uncertain factor for America’s security!”
As soon as the shit pot was slammed, the TV host's expression suddenly became serious and he began to record it in the small book in his hand.
Now is the time when America is at its most domineering and its national power is at its peak. The slogan of the world police is shouting so loudly that the top is in charge of the world and the land, and the middle is in charge of the air.
Even if she knows that Laura Antoinson is throwing a shit basin at Dongxin Semiconductor, there is still a reason after all, right?
She is the person invited by Intel's public relations department to talk about the threat of Eastcore Semiconductor to America in the American media.
Although Intel itself does not know how many chips it sells to the American Military Industrial Group every year, and even directly receives hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in R&D funding from the federal defense industry, it is unknown how many fighter jets, missiles, and ships are used by America. uses its chip.
But no one else is allowed to do what it can do, but even if the reason is ridiculous, as long as there is a reason, under the lobbying of the Washington PR company, the Federal Trade Commission will have a reason to take action against Dongxin Semiconductor.
For Intel, when news came back from Asia that Dongxin was causing trouble for Intel, it was just a matter of convenience for Intel to add some trouble to Dongxin in America.
Even if you can't beat Dongxin to death, it's still worthwhile to create some trouble for Dongxin and let Dongxin know who is the overlord of the global chip industry and know the rules of the chip industry!
Although Intel's most important rivals at present are still AMD's nubuck-like opponents, as well as several chip manufacturers such as Nippon Benzene, but they still have to take action to deal with Dongxin.
If Intel does nothing, it will cause its rivals in the chip industry to make wrong judgments and wonder whether Intel's control over the chip industry has been reduced, to the point where it will no longer be able to attack a mainland chip company!
"Dongxin Semiconductor Company may pose a threat to America's security!"
Read the error-free version in 6Ⅹ9ⅩBookⅩ! 6Ⅹ9 Shuyiba publishes a novel for the first time. Liujiu Book Bar Reading
"Asian chip company Dongxin Semiconductor may take orders for military weapons chips in the future and become a company with unstable factors affecting America's security!"
"Congressmen on Capitol Hill in California proposed that the Federal Trade Commission start a review of Dongxin Semiconductor!"
Of course, Intel did not just invite Laura Antoinson alone. After the California TV station interview report came out, the Washington Post, The Atlantic Magazine and other media also began to promote the threat theory of Dongxin Semiconductor.
California is the headquarters of Intel. Basically, industry insiders in America can understand who started this trend against Dongxin at a glance.
……
"It seems that our "ally" seems to be in trouble!
At the Microsoft headquarters in Seattle, Bill Gates raised the newspaper in his hand and smiled at Ballmer and other Microsoft executives.
Microsoft is quite concerned about its "ally" from Asia. Of course, this is not because Microsoft is "kind-hearted", but because it is profitable!
Not to mention, Bill Gates's confidant Ed Fleiss is still staying in Hanxi and has been inspecting Shenzhou Computer. In fact, he is considering whether to let Microsoft introduce this computer as an OEM. , printed with the Microsoft logo.
Because Microsoft has really tasted the sweetness. The stargazing digital video recorders it released before are still selling well, and it has begun to try to enter middle-class families in Canada and old Europe.
Wall Street securities analysts currently predict that the global sales of stargazing video recorders this year will be more than 1.5 million units, which has become the best-performing hardware product among all the hardware products Microsoft has invested in!
Although Microsoft only invested in the stargazing video recorder and put a brand on it, this does not prevent Microsoft from claiming in America that this is "its" product.
Microsoft's stock price has been very strong this year, and has risen sharply for several times. It is precisely because of the sweetness that Microsoft is very interested in Shenzhou Computer. There have been discussions within Microsoft to introduce Shenzhou Computer to America. possibility.
"Then shall we help our allies?"
Grant, the head of Microsoft's public relations department, asked. The word "help" in his words was not just a simple word. Microsoft has the ability to help Dongxin Semiconductor solve America's public opinion troubles and avoid being investigated, fined, and banned from sales by the Federal Trade Commission. Yes, but in return, does Dongxin Semiconductor have to pay some price?
Bill Gates looked at the newspaper in his hand and pursed his lips, "Of course, why not?!"
