Although Yanjiang Semiconductor and Xiaxin International are indeed unable to provide good evidence to the court in terms of core production.
However, Zhang Jing still followed Chen Xiao's instructions and re-filed the appeal.
According to the judicial process in the United States, if the defendant files an appeal, the court still has to accept it in accordance with the procedures.
In the eyes of the outside world, Zhang Jing's appeal is in vain.
It has no effect other than delaying time.
But the relevant judgment has been finalized. No matter how much Zhang Jing delays, he will be punished sooner or later.
The global semiconductor industry chain also began to adjust its layout after the U.S. ruling.
First, Dell, HP and other companies tried their best to contact Changtian Technology to see if they could return the chips they had ordered in advance.
If the judgment here takes effect.
Then the probability of mass production of my Pangu chip must be 0.
Assuming that Changtian Technology meets the few orders from Dell or HP, what will happen next?
It's impossible for Dell to produce a series specifically for those 10,000 to 20,000 computers, right?
Moreover, after the computer is sold, it still faces a series of after-sales problems.
If Pangu chips cannot be produced, then motherboards and other accessory materials will have no value.
There are certainly no factories that will spare production lines to produce motherboards that have been discontinued.
Therefore, stopping loss at this time is the wisest choice.
Companies such as Dell and Asus are okay. They just applied to return the chips and are willing to give Changtian Technology a certain amount of compensation in accordance with the contract agreement.
However, some PC companies are quite disgusting and unilaterally break the agreement without even paying liquidated damages.
The phone numbers at Changtian Technology headquarters have been buzzing.
The callers all asked to cancel orders for Pangu chips.
It's not just these PC companies that want to pay attention to the news of the US court's ruling.
The Xia Academy of Sciences and relevant national departments are also very concerned about this matter.
And take the initiative to contact Changtian Technology to see if we can provide some legal assistance.
It's very funny to say.
Whether it is the mainland area of Xia Kingdom or the Wanwan area of Xia Kingdom, they are all companies of Xia Kingdom.
Although the intellectual property dispute between the two Xia Guo companies needs to be adjudicated by an American court.
This is American hegemony and comprehensive monopoly.
Because the core part of the entire chip industry chain is in the United States.
From the design of chips and equipment to the production of equipment, as well as the sale of chip raw materials, the procurement of chips themselves, and the formulation of technical standards, almost all key links are in the United States.
Because the standards are in the hands of Americans, the right to speak is also in the hands of Americans.
If the chip industry in the United States says that your chips do not meet standards, then almost all major PC companies around the world will not dare to purchase your chips, and chip production equipment from other companies around the world may not be sold to you.
This is the most typical long-arm jurisdiction and intellectual hegemony.
Lian Xiang was really laughing like crazy during this period.
Although Yang Qing has not made any public statements, he has also seen the news that Pangu Chip orders have been canceled in large numbers.
Analysts from the Lianxiang Marketing Department immediately analyzed the relevant situation.
Their analysis found that Shenchuan's PC relied heavily on the Pangu chip.
Especially in the field of high-end PCs, almost the only chip that can be used is the Pangu chip.
If the production of Pangu chips is seriously affected, the products will not be able to be mass produced and rolled off the assembly line normally.
Then the output of Shenchuan's Jiaolong series will definitely not be able to keep up.
If Jiaolong's production cannot keep up with sales, there will definitely be a sharp decline.
Shenchuan, the second-ranked PC manufacturer in the country, is likely to continue to fall to the third-rate manufacturer within a month.
Lian Xiang also felt that this must be his opportunity.
Prior to this, Lianxiang had suspended or reduced all its chip procurement plans.
The reason is that I am wondering whether to use Pangu chip.
Now Lianxiang no longer has to worry.
Pangu chips are about to become history and disappear from this market.
Yang Qing even joked to his assistant: "You can find a way to buy a Shenchuan Jiaolong series as a collection, because soon this series of PCs will disappear from the store shelves."
Lianxiang immediately purchased a large number of related mid-to-high-end chips from Intel and AMD.
Prepare for distribution in early 2005.
The quantity purchased this time is the largest in history.
After all, in 2005, it was not only the Lianxiang brand but also the IBM brand that needed to distribute its products to the world.
Lianxiang's ambitions are not small. He hopes to take advantage of the crisis that Changtian Technology has encountered to knock Shenchuan down in one fell swoop, so that Shenchuan will no longer be able to compete with Lianxiang.
The only one that can stay calm is Shenchuan, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology.
Shenchuan also had to calm down, because he had no resources except Changtian Technology, which was his backer.
Consumers in the market are also confused.
Emotionally speaking, they are willing to buy Shenship computers.
Because Shenchuan's computers are cost-effective and have pretty good performance.
But rationally speaking, they have to delete the Shenchuan computer from their purchase list.
Because after purchasing Shenchuan Computer, the production of Pangu chips and corresponding accessories has been stopped due to the legal judgment of the United States.
What should I do if my computer encounters any after-sales problems in the future?
Song Yi compiled what happened and the information collected during this period and reported to Chen Xiao.
The main purpose is to seek Chen Xiao's opinion.
After all, Changtian Technology still has some difficulties facing the big PC company's demands for returns and refunds.
Song Yi is Chen Xiao’s most caring person.
She still doesn't know what Zodiac's idea is, and she doesn't know what the next step of Changtian Technology will be.
But Song Yi did feel a crisis, an unprecedented crisis.
After seeing the chargeback requests from Dell and other companies, Chen Xiao said to Song Yi very calmly: "Follow the contract."
The meaning of following the contract is very clear.
That is, Changtian Technology, which is willing to return the goods and provide refunds, has no objection. You can just pay the liquidated damages.
If you want to return the product for a refund and don't want to pay liquidated damages, then you're really sorry because the book is not available for sale.
Song Yi was very anxious, but she saw that Chen Xiao was not anxious at all.
Not much, so I hurried down to do the work assigned by the boss.
After all, so many companies want returns and refunds, so Changtian Technology is very busy.
Moreover, Song Yi also takes on the job of speaking in the press.
Many reporters and people in related industries have inquired about Wan Changtian Technology by phone or in writing.
Song Yi also needs to organize a press release.
At this time, the bend area.
Zhang Zhong and other senior executives of Tibetan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. have held a celebration banquet at Tibetan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s holding hotel.
After all, the first-instance judgment of the US court has been handed down.
The first-instance judgment fully agreed with all of TiMC’s claims.
This laid the legal foundation for TiMC’s status as the king of semiconductors.
Zhang Zhong is actually a very smart person.
He knows what he should do and what he shouldn't do.
He believes that TiMC should be a pure processing company, allowing the company to become a supporting company and serve American chip companies.
Only in this way can you live your own life peacefully.
Zhang Zhong also knows very well that TiMC is only qualified to do the dirty work of processing chips, and is not qualified to do the design and sales of chips.
As long as Fantai Semiconductor has a little bit of care in designing chips, it will be completely satisfied in terms of technical strength.
But Zhang Zhong also knows that if Tiyue Semiconductor really does this, then Tiyui Semiconductor's fate may be much worse than that of Xiaxin International.
Technology giants such as the United States will never allow any semiconductor company outside the United States to compete with them technically.
Many senior executives of TiMC said very excitedly:
"The compensation from Yanjiang Semiconductor Company and Xiaxin International has allowed us to expand our production lines, and there is still a lot of surplus!"
"We can definitely put the factory in the Xia continent. Going there will be a waste of money!"
"Isn't it? There are absolute preferential policies, with three years of tax exemption and five years of preferential tax, and the land is free. Take Suhang City as an example. They built the factory directly and we can just move the equipment there!"
"If you feel unhappy or the price is better in other cities, we can just pull out the equipment and move it away!"
"We have shares in Yanjiang Semiconductor Company and Xiaxin International, and we can completely use these two manufacturing companies as our affiliated factories!"
Zhang Zhong listened to the senior officials talking about his future world of hegemony. He smiled. Although he didn't say it, he was very proud in his heart.
Xiaxin International and Yanjiang Semiconductor are a big piece of meat.
It’s not that these two companies are big in size, but that these two companies are facing the Xiaguo market.
How big is Xiaguo Market?
The potential is immeasurable!
Having eaten these two big pieces of meat through legal means, TiMC is definitely a winner!
Zhang Zhong even took out his mobile phone and called Liu Dachuan in a very naughty manner.
"Mr. Liu, why haven't I seen you back during the Spring Festival? I even wanted to invite you to dinner!"
Liu Dachuan was also very anxious at this time.
He put his own wealth and life on the line, abandoned the assets of Wanwan Island, defected to Changtian Technology, and built a factory in Shanghai.
All profits are invested in the production of Pangu chips.
But judging from the current situation, Liu Dachuan is likely to lose everything.
If Pangu chips are not allowed to be produced due to intellectual property reasons.
Bida Semiconductor Company couldn't get any orders at all.
The only chance of getting an order is to cooperate with TiMC again and live the miserable life without dignity again.
Liu Dachuan was very angry.
Of course he knew that Zhang Zhong's call now must be out of good intentions, but just to tease him.
Liu Dachuan was also able to hear some noisy voices behind Zhang Zhong on the phone.
The sounds of drinking, cheering, and laughter.
It is obvious that TiMC is having a celebration banquet at this time.
Liu Dachuan sneered, hung up the phone without making any answer.
And what about Liu Dachuan?
The top management of Bida Semiconductor also learned of the U.S. verdict. At this time, two groups had been formed at the top level.
On the one hand, they hope that Bida Semiconductor will completely withdraw from the mainland, take back 30% of the shares given to Changtian Technology, return to Wanwan Island, and cooperate with Tibetan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. again.
Because from the current point of view, this is the only way for Bida Semiconductor to survive.
Another wave of people insisted on staying in the Shanghai stock market because they were fed up with TiMC.
"Even if Xiaxin International and Yanjiang Semiconductor Company received an unfavorable judgment this time, the Xiaguo market is an unexplored virgin land!"
"Then we can fully utilize our technical advantages and start from scratch! Even if it's a little harder now, it doesn't matter!"
Liu Dachuan's head ached when he saw such quarrels among the senior officials.
…
Jiangzhou Changtian Technology Headquarters.
Chen Xiao is watching a movie and drinking tea in the office.
The phone rang rapidly and then calmed down.
This is the sound of text messages.
Chen Xiao turned on his phone and saw that it was from Wang Xiang.
Wang Xiang said in the text message: "We have arrived in Holland and have contacted ASML."
Chen Xiao replied in the text message: "Enjoy the blooming tulips and the rotating windmill."
Spring has arrived and the weather is gradually returning.
March to May is when tulips are in full bloom. Chen Xiao said to himself: "Going to Holland at this time is really a beautiful scenery!"
Wang Xiang didn't have any time to enjoy the scenery.
He led a team of three people and found the top management of ASML through the Chinese engineers from Holland.
When ASML learned that the CEO and president of Changtian Technology came to visit, they took it seriously and sent a vice president, Kosilos, to meet with Wang Xiang.
Kosilos thought that Wang Xiang came here to buy a lithography machine. After all, he knew about Changtian Technology and its subsidiary company Yanjiang Semiconductor.
The 130-nanometer optical technology currently used by Yanjiang Semiconductor Company is still obtained from middlemen in Europe, and is not purchased directly from ASML.
The 180 nanometer optical technology most commonly used by Xia Xin International is a second-hand product purchased from Germany.
Kosilos also knew about the verdict in the United States. Although Yanjiang Semiconductor Company is appealing, the chance of a comeback is slim.
Although the U.S. court's ruling did not prohibit Changtian Technology from engaging in the semiconductor processing industry.
But ASML's most important shareholder is Intel.
Intel is absolutely not happy for Asmail to sell Changtian Technology-related equipment.
Moreover, after the 1980s, the United States and Europe introduced a series of laws prohibiting the export of high-end equipment to Xia.
The photolithography machine is one of the high-end equipment.
Kosilos also said very directly: "Mr. Wang Xiang, you should also know the current situation of the industry. There is definitely no way for us to sell equipment to your company."
"But if your company really needs products, we can sell some civilian micron lithography machines."
This is completely insulting.
Wang Xiang smiled and did not answer, and said: "Mr. Kosilos, this time I am here in the name of the company, not to purchase equipment, but to discuss cooperation with you."
Kosilos was stunned at this moment. Is there anything Changtian Technology can cooperate with?
Wang Xiang said: "I wonder if ASML is interested in a 65-nanometer lithography machine with a yield rate of more than 90%?"
