Across the continent, Europa, Bilt was stunned after receiving the news from the Dragon Kingdom.
Then we urgently summoned the core executives of AMSL and the directors assigned there such as Yingtel, Sansan, Moss Electromechanical, and Qualcomm.
After all, AMSL's shares also include the participation of these companies.
Faced with such a big matter, of course Bildt would call them over for discussion.
"Fuck! What did these rabbits do to the photolithography machine? 34 million meters?"
"This is a photolithography machine, the most compact high-end semiconductor equipment in the world!"
One of their AMSL 14nm EUV lithography machines costs more than 34 million meters.
How does this recover the cost?
"They will have to wait until the end of the year to recoup this cost! Maybe the quality is very poor."
"Yes, there is nothing to worry about. Don't we still have 5-nanometer lithography machines? They are still far behind us. Even if they can use their lithography machines to make 7-nanometer chips, they still do not pose a threat to us.
”
In the conference room, the directors who heard the news were very shocked and then spoke one after another.
But Bildt doesn’t think so,
"I said, gentlemen, this has nothing to do with cost. You know that Longguo's scale production effect and supporting infrastructure are enough to allow them to quickly occupy the market without reducing quality. Rabbit used to rely on this
This advantage has defeated many competitors, but even so they are still profitable."
"On the other hand, although their lithography machine technology has not yet reached 5nm, as far as I know, there is a company called Suiren Technology over Rabbit that has conquered extreme ultraviolet light source technology. Once they rise up, then they will
The development of 5nm EUV lithography machine is just a matter of time."
"Last point, if their damn cheap lithography machines are sold to other countries, our advantage will be gone. Think about how it feels to just give away your reduced orders and your wasted money to others.
!"
Bildt felt that these directors must have drunk too much whiskey and their minds were not clear.
You must know that Longguo not only has a huge market, but also their large-scale production and supporting facilities are three invincible magic weapons, which can make any capitalist in the international market frightened.
Which country in the world does not have the words "made in longguo" on its products?
If the Dragon Kingdom stops selling these low-cost products, it is estimated that domestic commodities will rise sharply, and residents' living costs will rise, leading to certain economic turmoil.
Those rational politicians don't want to see this happen, and their citizens don't want to do this either, unless the collective brains of the entire country's citizens are turned upside down.
Not to mention semiconductor giants like them.
Except for AMSL, whose precision parts are not manufactured in Longguo, some of the other giants also have foundries in Longguo because of the low and fast production costs.
If Longguo's productivity increases and 14nm EUV lithography machines are manufactured in batches, the advantages of AMSL, Moss Electromechanical and Sansan in design equipment manufacturing and chip foundry will be significantly weakened.
At least global OEM orders for 14nm chips or even 7nm chips will be transferred to Longguo.
This is a terrible thing to think about.
"Then what do we do now?"
a director asked.
Bill glanced at him and then replied:
"I think we also need to adjust the price of lithography machines at the same level in a timely manner. Five nanometers will remain unchanged. In addition, it is recommended that the chip foundry price in this range drop to a reasonable range, so as to balance the price gap between us and Rabbit." The directors immediately understood.
To put it bluntly, don’t you just want to start a price war?
"Also, we need to prohibit the sale of key components of 7-nanometer and 5-nanometer extreme ultraviolet lithography machines to Longguo, and the export of technology must also be restricted to ensure our technological advantages."
Everyone decided that Bildt's second suggestion was okay, and they all approved it unanimously.
However, regarding the suggestion of price war, we still need to discuss and communicate with their parent company.
After the meeting, each director reported the minutes of the meeting to the senior management of the head office.
After some discussions with these giant companies, they all agreed with Bildt's suggestion and decided to implement these two plans immediately.
"Red Star News reported: The person in charge of Moss Electromechanical recently stated that the foundry price of 14nm and even 7nm chips will be reduced by 6%.]
"Semiconductor Express: The person in charge of Sansan Semiconductor said that it will follow the market fluctuations and lower the price of 7-nanometer chips such as memory chips within the group's business."
"Penguin News: Relevant directors of AMSL Corporation stated that they have decided to restrict the export of lithography machine parts and technologies including 14nm, including 14nm, and their technology exports to reduce technology leakage due to the recent negative impact on the global semiconductor industry market caused by the emergence of Longguo's 14nm EUV lithography machine.
The losses caused."
"News from Cailian News: Xinyue Chemical and Nanbang SK Company stated that they will adjust according to changes in market demand and supply global wafer prices; the heads of Xiaori JSR Company and Yinghua Company respectively issued statements, and the company will adjust its external wafer prices next.
Strategy, appropriately adjust the supply and demand orders of photoresist in various countries..."
Relevant news was reported one after another not long after.
All netizens laughed.
"Look, they are anxious!"
"There's no need to rush. People with a discerning eye will see that they want to start a price war, but if we dare to start a price war in our country, it's like a mantis trying to trick the car."
You must know that price wars have occurred frequently in China before, such as the 3Q war, in which several Internet giants fought hard to seize the market, but were later calmed down by the official intervention.
“In the past, Huawei Qiumo’s electromechanical foundry chips were only scratched out, but they lowered the price. But you see, Huawei is still stupid. We have our own domestic lithography machine, which can produce 7
Nanochips, do we still need them?"
"Yes, although we have not yet reached the 5-nanometer level, it is enough for our domestic use."
"You can't say that, brother, look at Xinyue Chemical, which controls more than 60% of the supply of wafers and photoresists in the global market. Although we also have domestic photoresists, we still need to improve in this aspect.
Work hard and strive to tackle difficulties in photolithography materials."
"That's right. Our ancestors said that we can't get carried away just because of our victory at this moment. We have to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Maybe someone might get into trouble."
Netizens are discussing fiercely.
Naturally, Xu Li, who was still in the Magic City, also came across these messages.
