Chapter 311: Talking about the collapse, the family has not been settled
Huaxin International Headquarters, conference room.
"ASML has given a definite reply. The 7-nanometer EUV lithography machine is no longer possible. Not only is this no longer possible, we are about to face a complete ban. We have just concluded negotiations with the Americans, and the other party requires that our company must lead the semiconductor industry from the coastline.
Withdraw from the industrial alliance, otherwise all international cooperation will be interrupted and completely blocked." A senior executive of Huaxin International said solemnly.
The seven or eight senior executives present here are very solemn. The Americans are unabashedly acting like hooligans. They will ban you if you don't listen to them, and they will ban you if you are told to ban them.
The reason is also very simple and crude. The United States has given Coastline Company a reputation as "unjust", and following Coastline is tantamount to aiding the evil. That's pretty much what it means, and they will ban you for this reason.
"It's too harsh. If the Americans really keep their word, my company's business will drop by at least 75%, and there will definitely be a massive wave of layoffs. It's hard to say whether we can last for three years."
"Chairman, why don't you quit? The company is being helpless."
"The price of quitting is also very heavy, and the few patents we have are equivalent to giving up."
“Where are the other friends and businessmen?”
"I guess it's about the same. Judging from the intensity of the reaction of the Americans, they are determined to break up this team. Most of them are facing the same predicament as us."
"Is it really worth it for us to be buried along the coast like this?"
"It's not that easy. If you retreat now, you won't be able to enter. Whether you choose to compromise with the Americans or choose to advance or retreat with the coastline, it may be a fateful crossroads."
"I think Americans who compromise will definitely be reviled in the future, but no matter which side they choose, they will face huge risks."
"Where's HiSilicon?"
"Others may withdraw, but HiSilicon will definitely not. I can guarantee this. The behemoth Huawei standing behind HiSilicon has also been sanctioned by the Americans and has already developed antibodies."
The executives attending the meeting had a heated discussion with each other, and their opinions were always inconsistent. On the one hand, it was the threat of the Americans to ban them, and on the other hand, Ye Hua's tempting promises, but he did not guarantee 100% that the watermelon would mature smoothly.
.
This is undoubtedly a dilemma.
At this time, the CEO of Huaxin International said to the executives attending the meeting: "Reply to the Americans, Huaxin International will not voluntarily withdraw from the system."
Everyone was shocked, and the boss continued: "The fact that the Americans are so impatient to dismember this semiconductor club shows that they have really felt the threat and are afraid. In turn, doesn't it prove the future of this semiconductor alliance? Wouldn't it be wrong to withdraw?
Missed the future?"
The boss said this, and everyone basically knew it.
At this time, the cell phone of Huaxin’s boss rang. After answering the call, he suddenly stood up in shock: "What did you say? Are you sure? There has been a breakthrough so soon? Okay, okay, okay!! Great!
,knew!"
The executives present were a little confused and looked at each other, but it must be a good thing to see the boss so excited.
After hanging up the phone, the boss of Huaxin International looked around at the crowd and said with a stern face: "From now on, if anyone dares to say anything about wanting to embrace the American thighs or withdraw from the group, the labor and management will ask him to pack up and leave on the spot."
"Uh... Chairman, what's the good news?" an executive couldn't help but ask.
Immediately, the boss's stern face immediately burst into laughter, and he said: "Let's put it this way, it won't be too long, and we will soon have the confidence to challenge the Americans in the field of high-end integrated circuits. Even if asml
Now if their 7-nanometer lithography machine is shipped over, I will return it because it is too expensive, and it is too cheap and outdated. Because we will soon have our own domestically produced 5-nanometer lithography machine, hahaha."
"What?" Everyone was shocked and stunned.
"I have to cover my mouth about this matter!!" The boss said sternly, but he couldn't hold back the smile on his face. This time he really made the right bet, and it can even be said that Huaxin International has made the right decision since its establishment.
, the most successful decision, and it is estimated that other semiconductor companies will also make it.
"The Americans are going to suffer a lot this time. They have provoked a monster-level opponent, haha. If the Americans want to instigate other members of this system, don't even think about it."
…
Indeed, when the Americans were negotiating privately with Huaxin International, other members of the semiconductor alliance such as Ziguang, Microelectronics, and Yangtze Memory all went there. With the same conditions and threats, they were determined to dismantle what Ye Hua had established.
This semiconductor team.
But as long as they are not fools, no one will choose to withdraw from this system at this time, because if they withdraw, this semiconductor company will basically be in a state of decline, because Ye Hua will never allow the existence of second-rate players in the team.
…
A week later, the SIA (American Semiconductor Industry Association) international conference was held urgently in California. Semiconductor giants from all over the world were not left behind and were all present.
The domestic ones in the United States include well-known industry giants such as AMD, Intel, IBM, and Nvidia. The international members include ARM from the United Kingdom, Infineon from Germany, Samsung from South Korea, sk-hynix (Hynix), etc., ASML from the Netherlands, etc., a total of 48
Industry giants.
Originally, Shin-Etsu Chemical should have been listed as the 49th company, but this company is already a holding subsidiary of Coastline, so it was naturally excluded from the system.
"Why? Who can tell me why? Why are they all strictly refusing? Why are the 76 Chinese integrated circuit manufacturers not afraid of the threat of total ban? What makes them so united? What gives them such courage?" SIA Association
The person in charge broke the peaceful atmosphere of the conference hall, but his tone of voice was not loud. There are big bosses here. If you lose your temper with others, they may turn around and leave.
The big guys present still remained silent. A week has passed. Basically, they have talked privately with 76 companies among Ye Hua's team members. Ye Hua was called by the boss of Intel to talk. The result...
...Break it off!
The other 75 companies that have close cooperation with them sent their responsible persons to negotiate, and without exception, the negotiations collapsed. They were all unable to get in. The other party would negotiate with you, but when it came to asking the semiconductor company in China,
Quit the ict club system, no need to discuss it.
Qualcomm and Cisco sent people to talk to HiSilicon successively, and the result was not beyond their expectations. They knew this old enemy too well, so the talks naturally collapsed.
But all the other 75 manufacturers collapsed, which was completely unexpected by everyone. In their expectation, they could break up their alliance system by about one-third.
As long as 15 companies can withdraw, Ye Hua's team will have inherent flaws. If he continues to apply pressure and promote it, he can basically kill the ict industry club alliance in the cradle.
But the current situation is that no one has solved it. Of course, the Americans are furious. The key is that they are still a little bit weak. The members of CSAC are so determined that they are a little unsure for a while. The biggest variable and the one that makes them most unsure is Ye
Huahe Coastline Group.
On the one hand, semiconductors are the specialty of the United States, one of the most underrated technologies. If it was so easy for you Chinese to break through, why would it be today?
But on the other hand, Ye Hua and the Coastline Group emerged. His rise and shock to the world are self-evident.
This has led to the contradictory attitude of Americans towards this matter, which is both confident and a bit hypocritical. It goes without saying that Americans are confident in the semiconductor technology they have mastered, but they are not blindly confident. After all, the scientific research of Yehua Coastline Group
Strength cannot be ignored, otherwise you will be lying to yourself.
"When the situation comes to an end, there is no way out. The new force of CSAC must not be allowed to challenge and threaten the community of interests of Asia. Although the Coastline Group can bring huge profits to everyone here, in the long run, it is just drinking poison to quench thirst and giving up.
