In the past few years, a large-scale merger and acquisition worth tens of billions of dollars would have attracted the attention of countless companies and media throughout America and even overseas, and would have been widely reported.

But no matter how delicious the food is, you can’t afford to eat it every day. Especially in the past few years, big companies in the Internet and telecommunications industries such as ICQ, AOL, WorldCom, and Yahoo have been killing people like crazy, costing hundreds of billions of dollars at every turn.

of major mergers and acquisitions.

Alcatel Mobile spent more than 10 billion US dollars this time to acquire Zeiss and Leica, occupying the global high-end optical lens market in one fell swoop. If it weren’t for the fact that the acquirer was Alcatel Mobile, it also coincided with the upcoming release of the new Alcatel P3 phone.

Maybe no one will pay attention to these two acquisitions!

After all, cameras and lenses, nowadays, are not high-end or neck-breaking industries at all. Leica cameras sound really high-end, and they are used by the royal family, but that's all. In the camera market

, it’s not like Sony, Nikon, etc. are constantly encroaching on the market.

What really made Zeiss the world's leader in lenses was its cooperation with ASML to provide lenses for lithography machines. ASML became the father of global semiconductor and chip manufacturers in one fell swoop. No matter which chip manufacturer it is, facing high-end

ASML, who specializes in lithography machines, had no choice but to swallow his anger, and Zeiss also followed suit and soared!

There are still many players in the lithography machine industry. Now ASML has only slightly improved. But a few years ago, it was just an inconspicuous small department under Philips. It could only live temporarily next to Philips headquarters.

In the built model house, there is a trash can right outside the door...

Now the leader in the lithography machine industry is Nippon's Nikon, which is in an inextricable battle with GCA, the leader of America's lithography machines. In order to fight against Nikon, or the Nikon Semiconductor Group behind Nikon, America has started to use

The old method can't solve your problem with Nikon, and it can't solve the problem of Japan and Benzene...

On the American side, under the lobbying of Intel, GCA and other manufacturers, and with the endorsement of Capitol Hill, the LLC alliance was officially established two years ago, specifically to deal with Nikon. The LLC alliance was led by Capitol Hill and gathered Americus

Several of the top laboratories in Canada, including the three major laboratories under the federal Department of Energy, Berkeley Lab, Sandia Laboratories, Livermore Laboratory, IBM, AMD, Motorola, etc. have joined this alliance to prepare for research and development.

EUV lithography machine.

Asmai had just joined the LLC alliance at this time and could only act as a pawn, not even a thug, because he was not strong enough and was not qualified to compete with Nikon.

Nikon is not trying to make concessions. In fact, it also has the support of a large number of Japanese semiconductor manufacturers. You must know that Nikon is the same as the current Alcatel mobile phone. The chips, operating system, lenses, etc. are all produced by Nikon itself.

The industrial chain is all in their own hands. If it doesn't work, they just buy it from the Japanese benzene manufacturers. This makes Nikon's cost much lower than that of GCA and other American lithography machine manufacturers, and it snatches a large number of orders.

According to America's formula, if Nikon cannot be defeated head-on in the photolithography machine, then it will be necessary to do it secretly. There will be tax issues and heavy fines from the federal court. If that doesn't work, then they will find a reason to dismantle Nikon. Anyway,

It’s not like America has never done this before when dealing with the Nippon Company. At worst, it’s better to try it all over again. The federal soldiers in Nippon really think that there is a large no-fly zone just for decoration!

After acquiring Alcatel mobile phones from Zeiss and Leica, and having high-end lenses, coupled with PA Semiconductor, Alcatel mobile phones are also qualified to join the LLC alliance!

ASML is eligible to join the LLC alliance and receive countless resources, technologies and benefits. Why can't Alcatel Mobile and PA Semiconductor?!

ASML has gone from being a remote country in the Netherlands to becoming a leader in the global lithography and semiconductor industries. The LLC Alliance has played a major role in this. Not only does it provide ASML with technology, the LLC Alliance also helps ASML find a good partner.

A large number of American parts suppliers provide parts for ASML. Otherwise, how could ASML suddenly rise to the top in just a few years?

Intel, which currently dominates the LLC Alliance, will benefit from developing the most high-end lithography machines in the future. At the critical moment, Intel can make the LLC Alliance and ASML refuse to cooperate with Intel's opponents and attack them directly.

Huanglong.

Facts have also proved that ASML, which was fed by LLC, has been chained by LLC from the beginning. ASML’s key technologies and components are all supplied by the LLC alliance and American parts manufacturers.

I dare not fall out with the LLC alliance.

Intel and the LLC Alliance can only sell lithography machines to whomever ASML agrees to sell them to. If they disagree, it cannot sell them!

Alcatel mobile phones and PA Semiconductors, which now have high-end lenses, are naturally eligible to join the LLC alliance.

But Song Yang is not prepared to let Alcatel Mobile join the LLC Alliance and work for Intel as a subordinate. How can it control the LLC Alliance and indirectly dominate the entire global semiconductor industry.

What Intel can do, why can't Alcatel phones do it? America isn't named Intel!

Song Yang is planning to let Alcatel Mobile Phone and PA Semiconductor join the LLC alliance, so as to occupy the magpie's nest, squeeze out Intel, and dominate the LLC alliance. Whether ASML becomes a company under PA Semiconductor or directly goes into battle without any shirt, PA Semiconductor will

Using the technology of the LLC Alliance to directly develop lithography machines will not be cheap and Intel will take advantage of it anyway!

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done openly, nor can it be done in a short time. Now the LLC Alliance is still making cakes, and Alcatel Mobile and PA Semiconductor have enough time to make secret poking.

Get ready to grab the cake.

Compared with Intel, Alcatel Mobile Phone and PA Semiconductor are naturally far inferior in terms of strength in the semiconductor industry, and their connections, technology, and influence are not as good.

Several major laboratories donated money to win over member companies of the LLC alliance.

Coupled with the upcoming election in America, if the Elephant Party wins, there will be more room for Alcatel mobile phones to operate. It will be a direct grab. How can Intel compete with Alcatel mobile phones?

The worst case scenario is that I don’t even want to lose face, I just ask the general office to come forward and forcibly declare that Alcatel Mobile has won and the LLC alliance belongs to Alcatel Mobile. What can Intel do?!

After acquiring Zeiss and Leica, Alcatel Mobile did not directly take over the two companies. Instead, it integrated the technical personnel of Zeiss and Leica to establish the world's top imaging lens laboratory to develop mobile phone cameras for Alcatel mobile phones.

As for other departments on both sides, such as the semiconductor department of Zeiss, they have also begun to cooperate with PA Semiconductor. As for the operations and personnel of Zeiss and Leica, Alcatel Mobile has not intervened.

What is the way to keep a tiger alive? That is to throw it a well-matched opponent to ensure that it stays alive and does not dare to take a nap.

Zeiss and Leica have been enemies for centuries. Alcatel Mobile acquired them in the hope of leveraging their technology, not to support them in their retirement. If the two companies were merged and taken over directly, in the high-end lens industry, without any rivals, maybe

, it will become useless after a few years...

It acquired Zeiss and Leica, but still allowed them to operate according to the previous model. Wherever they made achievements, Alcatel Mobile invested more resources and funds, paid bonuses to their management and technical staff, and even

One day, if either Zeiss or Leica completely surpasses the other and wants to devour the other, it’s not that the Alcatel phone won’t support it. In any case, it’s just two mortal enemies fighting each other. The harder they bite, the more Alcatel phone can sit on it.

Harvest the fisherman's profit and get more benefits!

Alcatel's new mobile phone launch conferences are becoming more and more popular every year, with more guests attending and more media paying attention to them every year.

During the P1 and P2 launch conferences, Alcatel mobile phones also needed to pay public relations fees to invite media and celebrities to attend the mobile phone launch conference. Except for their own media such as IC, there were very few media broadcasting the conference. But now,
Chapter completed!
