Chapter 896 Disintegrate the EUV Alliance(1/2)

"Before humans cannot get out of the earth and enter space colonization, ground transportation will be a constant topic, which is the only reason why we were going to start the car project at that time."

After reading the documents, Su Yuanshan did not make a statement immediately, nor did he give advice immediately. Instead, he talked about Yuanxin’s understanding of electric vehicles - this is also the understanding of Wang Chuanfu, who is a member of Yuanxin’s executive board.

"Whether it is the increasingly critical environmental problems we are facing or the controllable nuclear fusion that is expected to be 'fifty years', energy-storage electric vehicles are the best solutions at present."

Of course Wang Chuanfu knew this, but he still listened very seriously and even took out his notebook and wrote it down - it was not that he flattered, but that he knew that Su Yuanshan was teaching him to "tell stories".

"As a backward country, we do have natural advantages in infrastructure planning. We can complete the unified specifications of power battery through various means such as unified standards and open patents."

"But to establish a comprehensive battery replacement system, it is not possible to rely on the cable core alone." Su Yuanshan bounced the document and laughed.

"Yes... the investment is indeed a bit big." Wang Chuanfu stopped writing and smiled awkwardly: "But now isn't it feasibility..."

"Of course feasibility can be done." Su Yuanshan immediately said: "Even some of the difficulties you have listed here, such as how to balance the peak electricity consumption problem between regions and daily life and holidays, I can now propose a solution to you."

"Ah? How to solve it?" Wang Chuanfu was excited.

Without considering the initial infrastructure costs, he really didn't think of any good idea to make this battery supermarket not wasteful and meet the needs at any time.

"Big data ai can solve it. Through the summary and analysis of comprehensive data such as the power of each tram, the habit of replacing batteries and even itinerary estimates, it is easy to calculate the peak demand for battery replacement in a certain area, and then set up redundancy, let alone the peak period that can be estimated in advance, which is the Spring Festival and National Day. The usual peak period is used to repair and maintain the batteries..."

"What can be achieved through technology is just small details. The most important thing is whether various countries can design and build a battery replacement system with the spirit of building a communication base station." After a pause, Su Yuanshan said: "And we know that at this stage, the investment and return of the communication base station construction... are almost immediate."

"What should I do..."

"I'll think about it again." Su Yuanshan shook the documents, pondered for a few seconds and asked: "How long will it take for the technology to be implemented?"

"It should be very fast, and in order to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of power batteries, we also plan to open up a new field of modularization."

"Well, we should promote the construction of charging piles in the city step by step for the time being, and then wait until our first pure electric SUV is launched, and then comprehensively promote infrastructure." Su Yuanshan said, "Lao Wang, before our mass-produced cars are launched, before the technology is mature and the future is clear, even if the superiors trust us, they will not dare to rashly start infrastructure of this scale. Do you think so?"

"What if the technology is mature...there is still no one who dares to push it?"

"Then let's push Yuanxin."

Although he was reserved about Wang Chuanfu's radical battery swap station strategy, Su Yuanshan still affirmed Wang Chuanfu's idea of ​​modular power batteries. And he would do it immediately - not to mention anything else, the landing cost can at least be reduced. At most, the number of batteries rented can start from the 4S store.

This is sometimes the case with this. As long as it is cheap enough, it is willing to accept the troubles on the basis of conditions - not to mention that there are upgrade options available?

This krypton-scammer model has been proven by many industries in later generations and has been tried and tested.

The next day, Su Yuanshan went to the car factory with Wang Chuanfu, and because Li Junyou went global to participate in the exhibition with Divo, the main person in charge here was Chief Engineer Sun Xiaochuan.

Su Yuanshan's decision and action have always been extremely fierce. Since he decided to support Wang Chuanfu, he directly pulled Wang Chuanfu, Sun Xiaochuan and others to hold a meeting in the factory and determined the idea of ​​modular design.

Then he went to the wafer fab and met Liang Mengsong who was working overtime for the yield.

"The yield rate is less than 50% now." Liang Mengsong took off his dustproof suit and strode towards Su Yuanshan. Then the two walked towards the office together: "At present, only Qilin A5 is holding on, which is a bit of a loss."

"There is no way. If you take the market's initiative, you can only grit your teeth and bear it." Su Yuanshan was actually very satisfied with the 50% yield rate - this means that although the cost of Kirin A5 is a little higher, at least the amount can be increased.

The only thing that makes people feel unpleasant is that after Yuanxin raises the yield, the same process layout of 65nm for other manufacturers is probably in place... At that time, those people will just get on the bus regardless of the yield you have in front.

"Well, but the trouble now is that we only have this 65nm line now, and... we skipped 90nm, which seems to be ahead of Intel, but we still have to go back and forth." Liang Mengsong frowned slightly: "Intel is pushing the 193 drilling step by step, and now we have completed the 90nm process. In this way, we can upgrade all production lines... Whether it is the processor capacity or flash memory chips, it is a great advantage."

Su Yuanshan is silent. The 193nm arf can theoretically go down to the 60/55nm node, and can be widely popularized and upgraded on this node.

As Liang Mengsong said, although Deyuan directly completed the "overtaking on the curve" in terms of the most advanced technology with the immersive lithography machine, he still had to go the 90nm road.

——Otherwise, those 193 dry ticks can only be stopped at the 0.13 micron process technology.

After all, the production capacity of immersive lithography machines is limited, and even ten years later, 90nm still has a huge market.

"What about the second lithography machine?"

"I heard it was given to Intel."

"Damn?" Su Yuanshan glared, and was about to take out the phone to question Zheng Zhenchuan. According to what he knew at the beginning, Deyuan would only arrange it for others after he had enough two units.

Liang Mengsong smiled slightly: "It is said that Intel has put a lot of ordinary Arfs on Hongxin in one breath."

"Uh..." Su Yuanshan stopped.

I didn't expect that a big guy like Intel would swallow his anger...

"This is the technology in hand, I have it all in the world." Su Yuanshan smiled and sighed: "Intel is obviously anxious."

"Yes, we took the prototype, held it in for a year, and jumped 90nm to 65nm. Even if Intel got the immersive lithography machine now, it would not be able to catch up with us. We were lucky, and he could catch up with us within a year, but we were not lucky, two years or even longer - but by then, we had already reached 45nm."

Su Yuanshan turned his head and looked at Liang Mengsong. Seeing the other party's strong self-confidence, he smiled and nodded: "Come on, wait for you to meet with my senior brother."

"We will definitely meet!"

——With the birth of the immersive lithography machine, it means that in the process, there is a possibility of realizing the design that must be adopted for fi process.

According to Deyuan's motivation and speed of promoting the process, 45nm, 32nm, 22nm... these process nodes will be done step by step and are just around the corner.

"Mr. Shan, you can't be more favorable than one or the other!"

In the Yuanxin Shanghai Science and Technology Park, in Li Mingliu's office, Gao Xiaodi sat opposite Su Yuanshan, crying and heartfelt. While condemning Su Yuanshan, he winked at Li Mingliu, but the latter ignored him and just watched him perform happily with Su Yuanshan.

Gao Xiaodi's condemnation obviously means that Su Yuanshan gave priority to the Kirin A5 processor to be manufactured on the 65nm process, and on the chartered vehicle, multiple chips of different processes can exist at the same time on a wafer.

As a nearby tower, Gao Xiaodi's Aolong processor was only a few days later than Qilin, and was driven out of the car...

“Unfair.”

"What's the injustice? You don't wait for the rice to be put into the pot." Su Yuanshan laughed and said, "Yidoo4 has sold 8 million units so far. If you don't give priority to pulling up the Qilin, who else can you pull? You can squeeze with Zhuque at that time."

"Tsk... I'm afraid that by then, it's not just the protagonist, but also Amd and Xinghai - do you think Intel will lick the face and squeeze it?"

"..." Su Yuanshan rolled his eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes, I'm serious. Deyuan is ahead of Intel now. No matter how bad we design it, with the support of the process, it will definitely beat Intel..."

"Never underestimate Intel. They can reach the limit of AF, that is, the 65nm process - whether to bet, Intel will immediately launch a mature 90nm process."

"...It seems like you are Intel's CEO."

Su Yuanshan then beat him up: "Don't underestimate the enemy, especially overlords like Intel. They are anxious and can do anything."

When Li Mingliu heard something from Su Yuanshan's words, he asked curiously: "What's Intel doing?"

"I heard... I just heard..." Su Yuanshan narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I heard that Intel plans to have a family with Hongxin."

"Hmm? What does it mean?" Gao Xiao was stunned for the first time and immediately jumped up: "Get a relative? Do you want to buy a share?"

"Yes, and they also hired parents."

Su Yuanshan looked west, and his smile became stronger and stronger.

——With the step-by-step pressure from Yuanxin, Xinghai, and Amd, Intel is no longer the Intel that calls the wind and rain in the previous life. One thing to note is that Intel has not taken too many detours in dual cores. It has quickly corrected its mistakes and stabilized its position as the boss again.

More importantly, Intel's share in the flash memory and solid-state drive market has been compromised by Yuanxin. Under the joint efforts of Li Mingliu and Fujio, Flash has entered the bargaining stage this year, thus "temporarily" defeating Intel.

This means that although Intel still has a status in the world and still has "investment" in the market, it has no money anymore.

It can be seen from the stock price that Intel's stock price has shrunk by 30% compared to the end of last year.

Since Intel has no money, it can no longer be able to spend a lot of money and directly maintain Asml as in history - yes, Intel is also holding Samsung with it.

Even if we have to "maintain", Intel has to consider that before EUV enters its own wafer fab, what he needs is the immersive duv.

Therefore, the information received by Su Yuanshan - Intel intends to acquire shares in Hongxin to obtain priority supply rights.

According to the news Su Yuanshan just inquired, it seems that there is also an intention to make a deeper cooperation between Intel and Hongxin.

After all, keeping a low profile is still the main strategy at present.

Su Yuanshan did not express any comments on this. He just reminded Zhang Rujin that if Intel invested in Hongxin, Deyuan could consider it, and it was even necessary to invest in Asml.

——For double insurance, everyone just comes to play.

...

Asking Su Yuanshan to use "inviting parents" to describe Intel's strategy, Li Mingliu was stunned for a moment. He was no more whirring than Gao Xiaodi, and soon thought of the EUV Alliance represented by Intel.

"Can Hongxin join the EUV alliance?"

"Hongxin cannot join the euv alliance."

"Why?"

"Because the collapsed euv alliance is the good euv alliance." Su Yuanshan blinked and smiled softly.

Li Mingliu immediately fell into thinking.

But after thinking for a long time, he could not understand the meaning of Su Yuanshan's words.

Disintegrate the EUV Alliance? How to disintegrate?

Facing Li Mingliu's puzzled gaze, Su Yuanshan whispered: "The two major wafer factories of the EUV Alliance, ARM's Gross Fende no longer exists. Intel also had to cooperate with Hongxin because of the immersive lithography machine... Then, the only lithography machine manufacturer in the EUV Alliance, Asml, has no meaning of existence."

"Or, there is no meaning of existence in the EUV Alliance. And without lithography machine manufacturers... can the EUV Alliance still exist?"
