The reporters in the audience suddenly made a noise. They were whispering to each other and discussing in low voices. Some reporters even stood up and walked towards the door. This made the press conference scene seem a bit chaotic.
Hermann, who was speaking on stage, had to stop.
What's going on? It's not the time for reporters to ask questions yet. Why is everyone standing up?
Also, why did they go out?
Gelman didn't know what was going on, but he knew that if the momentum continued, this press conference would become a joke.
Is there something wrong with what I just said?
He reviewed it silently in his mind.
Just now, he was advocating the contribution that the EDA Alliance has made to the standardization of global EDA software after the establishment of the EDA Alliance, the impact of the announcement of new storage formats on the EDA market, and the sanction of Xinghuo Electronics Factory, a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.
But why are the reporters leaving?
Seeing more and more reporters walking outside the stadium, Hermann hurriedly announced the suspension of the press conference in the name of halftime.
Then he signaled Dan with his eyes.
Let her inquire about the situation.
Dan got the signal.
She was sitting in the venue, and grabbed a reporter who was walking by and asked about it.
"Oh, you don't know yet?"
The reporter looked at Dan, especially her graceful figure, and stayed for a while.
"Which newspaper are you a reporter from? How come I haven't seen you before?"
Dan said perfunctorily, leaning forward, with a cloying fragrance that hit his nose.
"What happened, what are you going to do?"
the reporter said.
"Don't you have a text message? There is big news, and everyone has to rush over to confirm it and see if they can get the first-hand news."
Dan asked doubtfully.
"Oh, what is it about?"
The reporter said with excitement.
"Regarding the chip industry, I heard that China is also going to establish a chip alliance and develop a photolithography machine. This is big news. I have to go there quickly."
Dan was about to ask again, but suddenly her cell phone rang softly.
This is the Nokia 2100, a new product launched this year that supports mobile communications and SMS services. It was given to her by Hermann.
Dan took out his phone and clicked to check.
I don’t know who it was, but sent a text message to everyone here.
[Xinghuo Electronics Factory held a press conference to establish the China Chip Alliance and announced the regulation of the international chip sanctions market.]
Dan's eyes widened as he looked at this text message and didn't speak for a long time.
.......
June 15th.
Still in the Great Hall.
Cao Weidong held a press conference.
Reporters at home and abroad showed little interest in the news conference held by Xinghuo Electronics Factory.
Reporters have always been very well-informed, and they have long known that the International EDA Chip Alliance was going to sanction the Spark EDA software developed by Spark Electronics Factory.
Xinghuo Electronics Factory held a press conference at this time, and they felt that Xinghuo was most likely giving in.
However, just before the press conference, Cao Weidong leaked the news that the content to be announced at the press conference was related to the domestic lithography machine and chip alliance, and TV resources would be used to broadcast it nationwide as soon as possible.
Now the reporters were in a state of shock.
The International EDA Chip Alliance announced sanctions against Xinghuo Electronics Factory, but then Xinghuo Electronics Factory announced that it would establish a major chip alliance?
They smelled gunpowder.
So this group of reporters tried their best to get to the General Assembly Hall and attend the press conference as soon as possible.
As for those who are not in the Four-Nine Cities, they can only watch TV programs obediently or wait for news from their companions.
.......
"Hey, I'm already here."
Jamie finally squeezed into the venue, glanced at the busy staff on the podium, and whispered into the microphone.
"Okay, I understand. If there is any situation, I will notify you as soon as possible, and then you will report it to our headquarters in London..."
After communicating with his colleagues, Jamie hung up the phone sadly and looked at the podium.
At this time, the podium had been tidied up, and the main attendees came on stage to make final adjustments.
This is a middle-aged man with a handsome face, wearing a suit, with a straight posture, outstanding temperament and great charm.
Jamie knows him.
Or maybe I've seen it in the newspaper.
This person is Cao Weidong, the director of Xinghuo Electronics Factory.
He sat upright unconsciously, wanting to know what exactly this press conference was going to talk about.
Are the previously revealed rumors about breakthroughs in lithography machines and major domestic chip alliances true or false?
........
Cao Weidong glanced at his watch.
The time is just right.
He made the introduction according to the established plan, and then quickly and neatly changed the topic to domestic lithography machines.
"The semiconductor industry is the future development trend, and chips are the core of the semiconductor industry. Since the birth of chips, Chinese people have had great enthusiasm and interest in domestic lithography machines."
"However, due to various objective factors, the performance of domestic lithography machines has not been able to meet expectations, and there is a big gap between it and foreign lithography machines."
Cao Weidong talked eloquently to everyone present.
"But today, here, I would like to introduce to you this domestic lithography machine. It uses immersion lithography technology and can produce 22-nanometer chips. It is far ahead in the world!"
Then he showed everyone pictures of domestic lithography machines and the 22-nanometer chips produced.
It contains many chip products, with as many as forty or fifty models, enough to meet the needs of all users.
In addition to providing Xinghuo EDA software, Xinghuo Electronics Factory has officially developed a second pillar industry chain.
Domestic Spark 22nm lithography machine!
At the end of the press conference, Cao Weidong also announced the formal establishment of the Domestic Chip Industry Alliance to jointly promote the development and progress of domestic chips. The first batch of members of the Domestic Chip Industry Alliance include nine research institutes and 13 state-owned electronics factories.
The crowd was excited.
Everyone has been waiting for this moment for so many years, and now it has finally come true.
Finally, facing the audience and reporters who all stood up in the audience, their faces full of excitement and enthusiasm, Cao Weidong announced loudly.
"For so many years, we have been stuck with foreign products and technologies, allowing them to take away the wealth we have worked hard to accumulate. But at this moment, I want to announce to the world that such days will never happen again."
"Aren't you going to sanction us? Then please continue to impose sanctions. We don't care because we have better choices."
"We have advanced EDA chip design software and a photolithography machine that is twenty years ahead of the rest of the world. All equipment is self-sufficient, and its performance and quality far exceed foreign products!"
Cao Weidong originally wanted to say again, please be prepared to be sanctioned by us, but considering that he still wanted to make money from abroad, he swallowed this sentence back.
Even so, it still completely aroused the audience's emotions.
The audience was completely excited.
The foreign reporters looked at the scene in front of them with bewildered faces.
They had a premonition.
After today, the world's chip landscape will undergo earth-shaking changes.
