Chapter 98: The Mystery of the Qingzhou Chip, Killing the Scalpers with a Sword

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of the crime. Peter Wennink cannot defend himself. If there is no evidence to prove that he did not sell EUV lithography machines to Longxing Technology , it’s no use even if he talks about it.

So he did not explain, but directly invited Mollenkopf, Fujiwara Kenji, Wang Miao and other senior executives in the semiconductor field to the headquarters of ASML in the Netherlands.

He didn’t eat the bowl of rice noodles, so it’s impossible to let him cut his stomach open, right?

A group of big guys in the semiconductor field took a flight directly overnight to the ASML headquarters in the Netherlands.

At the same time.

The news that Longguo Enterprise created a 14-nanometer chip "out of thin air" also traveled across the ocean and reached the ears of some people in the United States.

They began to sit still.

They are scared!

They are afraid!

In order to restrict the development of Longguo's semiconductor industry, they not only frequently resorted to secret tricks, but also set up various restrictions.

How did Longguo manufacture 14nm chips when the purchase of 13.5 extreme ultraviolet light EUV lithography machines was restricted?

In the dim light of the parliament chamber, a group of "gentlemen" in suits and ties were discussing.

"Longxing Technology Company, 14-nanometer chip, how can they be mass-produced without EUV lithography machine?"

"Molenkov sent an email saying, Longxing On December 12th, 100,000 units of the brilliant X1 mobile phone were sold, which shows that the 14-nanometer Qingzhou processor has been mass-produced. Someone must find out who manufactured it. ”

“ It is not only necessary to investigate the EDA software they use, but also the EUV lithography machines used in production. "Is it possible that they have broken through the limitations of the lithography machines?"

As soon as these words came out.

The House of Parliament was as quiet as dead water.

After the atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, someone suddenly thought of something and said: "There are ways to break through the limitations of the photolithography machine. The multiple exposure idea proposed by Dr. Witte can be achieved, but it requires a lot of effort. With advanced photolithography technology, Long Country will not have such talents.”

"What if there is?"

Someone asked.

"If there is, then comprehensive sanctions will be imposed. I prefer TSMC OEM, or ASML is making extra money."

"It cannot exist. At present, Longguo has talents in the lithography field. Not many, Feng Chengming, the chief engineer of Loongson International, is one, but his technology is only average to ours."

"I agree, now we should check ASML company and take a look at EUV lithography. Is the machine sold privately? "

"The CEO of Gaotong Company, Molenkov, has already gone. I also sent Martina there. I believe there will be a result soon. "

"I hope we are worrying too much."

"Well, but Longxing Technology Company, Chen Xing, can pay more attention to it. He and his company are developing too fast."

" I’m staring.”

“I really can’t imagine that the 14-nanometer commercial processor chip is actually the world’s first launch by Longguo Enterprise. There must be an explanation.”

This last sentence was recognized by everyone at the conference table.

They don’t believe that chips will appear out of thin air unless God comes.

……

The other side.

Headquarters of ASML in the Netherlands.

Peter Wennink did not explain, and directly took out all the ledgers and all the order information for review.

Molenkov did not step forward, and neither did Fujiwara Kenji. Instead, he looked at the red-haired woman with big waves next to him.

She is plump and tall, with fair and tender skin, and her long burgundy wavy hair makes her stand out from the crowd.

When no one came forward, she picked up a bill and looked at it.

Throwing down one book, she picked up another and went back and forth several times. She yawned and said, "Is there nothing else?"

"Commissioner Martina, what else do you want to see?"

Peter Wennink lowered his posture and asked quickly.

He didn't dare to say no. This woman's identity was not simple. She was a specialist who came to investigate the 14-nanometer canoe chip.

The 14-nanometer chip developed by Longxing Technology has made the whole world tremble, and everyone is curious about how to break through the technological blockade.

Chen Xing and Longxing Technology also made their world debut for the first time.

Martina thought for a while and seemed to feel that there was nothing more to investigate, so she simply asked: "How much do you know about Chen Xing?"

Large equipment like lithography machines , you can check it out by looking through the basic bill and supply list just now.

The Dutch ASML company is mainly responsible for assembly, but it does not have the ability to independently produce EUV lithography machines. It is very simple to check.

Both Peter Wennink and Fujiwara Kenji looked at Wang Miao. He was the only one from Long Country who must know Chen Xing best.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Wang Miao did not hide anything, and immediately said: "Chen Xing, he is about 27 years old. I don't know much about him, but eight months ago, he was on the verge of bankruptcy. The desperate company president, let Mollenkopf tell you the details.”

Martina looked at Mollenkopf, who also told the truth about the sanctions.

After learning more about it, she showed a look of amazement and said: "Are you saying that in less than a year, he went from running Longxing Technology Company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, to his current position?"
< br>"Yes."

Molenkov nodded, and then mentioned: "Li Zhenzhen of the Korean Star Group also has something to do with him."

"Li Zhenzhen?"

Martina's pupils flashed with surprise, how could this be related?

According to her understanding, the current market value of Longxing Technology Company is only 5 billion. How can she get in touch with Li Zhenzhen?

Molenkov nodded again and explained: "As we all know, Korean M series screens are never supplied to the outside world, but the brilliant X1 mobile phone launch conference just held by Longxing Technology Company used M7 screens. This is a level higher than the customized products used in Apple mobile phones.”

Martina was a little interested. A small company that is not even a Fortune 500 company can actually affect so many business giants. And it also developed and produced a 14-nanometer Qingzhou chip, which is incredible.

“Hey, do you think it’s possible that Korean Star Group is the OEM for Longxing Technology?”

Suddenly, Zhang Miao made a guess.

Currently, the top five chip foundries in the world are TSMC, UMC, GlobalFoundries, Korean Star Group and Loongson International.

Among them, TSMC leads the way and is recognized worldwide as a foundry that can produce 14nm chips. The second UMC and the third GLOBALFOUNDRIES are a little behind, and are still far away from 14nm, but 20nm They are already proficient in chip production.

As for the fourth-place Korean Star Group, it is very controversial.

Because it is not just a chip foundry, it is also a chip design company, and its business is equivalent to Gaotong plus TSMC.

If they go one step further and develop their own EDA software, they will complete the preliminary closed loop from chip design to manufacturing. This is the dream achievement of semiconductor company bosses, but unfortunately no one has been able to complete it yet.

As for the photolithography machine...

That cannot be accomplished by a single company.

If Han Xing Group OEMs Qingzhou chips, maybe it can be completed.

Loongson International, ranked fifth, no one thinks it can OEM 14nm chips, because for a company that has not even been able to complete 20nm chips, isn't it a joke to OEM 14nm chips?

Zhang Miu's words reminded everyone, and Fujiwara Kender even spoke more bluntly, guessing: "The power behind Longxing Technology Company may be Han Xing Group. Otherwise, in one year, no matter how powerful Chen Xing is, , and it is impossible to turn a profit."

Seeing that the blame was pointed at Li Zhenzhen, Peter Wennink also echoed: "And I learned that the baseband chip used in their flagship mobile phone seems to be Longxing. The KT-001 baseband chip designed by the technology company."

Molenkov suddenly figured it out and said quickly: "That's right! At the beginning, Li Zhenzhen refused to sanction Longxing Technology with me. It seems that Chen Xing and Han Xing. The group has an unusual relationship. "

Martina also understood that Chen Xing and Li Zhenzhen, Longxing Technology and Hanxing Group all have an indescribable relationship.

But she was still curious, how did Chen Xing hook up with Li Zhenzhen?

According to their circle, the possibility of the two of them meeting is almost zero, and they should not meet at all.

But!

She has some clues!

If you want to investigate the 14nm Qingzhou chip, you may want to start with the Korean Star Group.

"Li Zhenzhen of Korean Star Group, Chen Xing of Longxing Technology, 14nm chip, KT-001 baseband chip, Star Flash fast charging, so many mysteries to be revealed, it is really exciting." Martina murmured in her heart He murmured, his eyes flashing with morbid pleasure, and he licked his red lips with the tip of his tongue.

……

Dragon Kingdom, Hangzhou City.

In front of a warehouse in Gongye District, two freight trucks from Shunfeng Express Company transported fully loaded mobile phones to the designated address.

Hu Xiong, the boss of Xiongtian Studio, has been waiting for a long time.

"Please sign for it. We will arrange for workers to come over and unload the goods immediately." The driver of Shunfeng Express took out the receipt and said.

For large quantities of goods with the same address, the courier company will arrange for workers to unload the goods. Hu Xiong did not make a fuss. After confirming that there was no problem with the documents, he signed and confirmed: "Okay, you guys, hurry up and try to do it before dark. Finished unloading.”

“Yes, very soon.”

After confirming that the documents were OK, the driver started to call the Hangzhou headquarters.

A moment later.

About twenty couriers arrived.

One mobile phone per person means twenty mobile phones. The unloading of 50,000 mobile phones was very fast. In less than three hours, all the mobile phones were unloaded.

“If the boss is satisfied, you can leave a positive review on the APP.” Before the courier left, he did not forget to ask for positive feedback.

“Well, it must be well received.”

Hu Xiong didn’t refuse either.

After the couriers left, he looked at the bright X1 mobile phone like a hill in the warehouse, and felt happy.

After finishing this job, he will really have wealth and freedom.

The money he earns is put into the bank, and the interest alone is enough to keep him from working for the rest of his life, and he can still live a life of luxury and wealth.

Will it really go so smoothly?

……

Futian District, Shenzhen City.

Headquarters of Longxing Technology Company.

President’s Office.

When Hu Xiong finished signing, all the sales money for the 50,000 units of the brilliant X1 mobile phone had been received. Chen Xing also knew that the goods were now backlogged in the hands of scalpers.

The scalpers inflated prices and created hunger marketing. They made money, but they damaged the image of Longxing Technology.

No wonder people on the Internet have been scolding them for engaging in hunger marketing. It turns out that it is this group of scalpers who are causing trouble.

How can we allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed? The scalpers must be killed!

Chen Xing picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Jack Ma on WeChat: "Mr. Ma, the goods have been handed over to scalpers. I would like you to block the second-hand transaction of the brilliant X1 mobile phone."
< br>In less than two minutes, Jack Ma responded to the message: "No problem, I have already sent instructions to your store to see if the batch pre-sale function is turned on. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time. ”

“Thank you Mr. Ma”

After Chen Xing replied to the message, he came to the company's marketing department again.

Marketing Department Manager Yao Nana saw Chen Xing arriving and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "President, do you need to start pre-sales?"

"Yes!"

Chen Xing responded and began to direct the work: "In addition to launching the second batch of pre-sales, Weibo must also release the news."

"I understand."

Yao Nana immediately got into work.

Cuican X1 mobile phone pre-sale, this is the function that Chen Xing discussed with Jack Ma that day.

Specifically, users are asked to pay a part of the deposit first, such as three hundred yuan, and Longxing Technology Company will guarantee that they can purchase the brilliant X1 mobile phone at a discounted price.

To put it bluntly, it is a real estate model. Pre-sales are equivalent to off-plan houses. Buying off-plan houses will be tens of thousands yuan cheaper than finished houses.

As for the pre-sale price, Chen Xing can buy a brilliant X1 regular version for a further 500 yuan on top of 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 5,499, but it will take a while.

After starting the pre-sale, Yao Nana also started to smear the business.

Weibo platform.

Official blog of Longxing Technology Company.

[Important notice, according to insider reports, criminals have recently counterfeited the brilliant X1 mobile phone and passed it off as inferior. Our company has noticed the relevant situation and is actively cooperating with the police investigation. If we encounter the brilliant X1 mobile phone being sold at a low price X1 mobile phone, please don’t be fooled. Please look for official channels when purchasing. The second batch of pre-sales has started! ]

With the appearance of the official announcement, it instantly aroused heated discussion on the Internet.

[Pu Jie Zai Baile]: "Damn it! How many days has it been? Counterfeit and shoddy products have come out! What a shame for this DJ!"

[Chu Shengyao Yang]: "I almost got fooled. I just saw a second-hand website listing the brilliant X1 phone. The price is damn expensive. The regular version costs 8,000 yuan, and the top-end version costs over 10,000 yuan. Now they have all been taken off the shelves."
< br>[Kong Yu Woof]: "Eight thousand? It's only over 5,000 from the official channel. What does this horse think? Do you really think we are leeks?"

[Blue Clouds]: " Fortunately, the official announcement of Longxing Technology was released quickly. Otherwise, with my IQ, I would have bought it. I am really greedy for the brilliant X1 phone. ”

When the comments came out one after another, Yao Nana contacted Weibo officials and purchased two million exposures.

Less than half an hour.

The entry for [shanzhai brilliant X1 mobile phone] topped the hot search list.

After reading the hot search, tens of millions of people also learned that a batch of copycat machines had entered the market, and they all became vigilant.

……

At the same time.

In the villa of Xiongtian Studio in the West Lake District of Hangzhou, Hu Xiong was completely panicked, and so were the ten traders.

“Brother Xiong, the second-hand website has blocked our account, and the new account is useless. The brilliant X1 mobile phone cannot be put on the shelves at all!”

“Something happened, the second-hand website has locked our IP. , I can’t log in, we seem to be targeted!”

“The second-hand forum is no longer working, what should I do now?”

“Brother Xiong, hot search on Weibo, Long. Xing Technology Company officially says that we are a copycat phone and tells users not to buy it! ”

"Taowu.com has started its second round of pre-sales. The platform subsidizes 1,500 yuan and the price is only 5,499, which is far lower than our purchase price!"

"Xiong..."

"Plop— —"

Hu Xiong's feet gave way and he collapsed directly to the ground. His eyes were full of despair and helplessness, not as high-spirited as a few hours ago.

Sales channels are closed.

The price advantage is gone.

Fighted from both sides, he was destined to be defeated.

Now he suddenly realizes that compared with Longxing Technology Company, Xiongtian Studio is simply a small piece of cake trying to shake a big tree and overestimating its capabilities.

People are creating value, but they are just speculating.

Maybe people didn’t notice before, but this time they suddenly made 50,000 units per second, disrupting Longxing Technology’s collection of market feedback. This really angered the man.

"It's gone..."

"There's nothing left..."

I'll check in every day. The previous chapter was 5k words. I paid back the 1,000 words I owed yesterday. Thank you for the monthly pass. Thank you to those who voted for the recommendation and those who followed it, thank you.
