Chapter 733 [The eldest brother and the second brother fight, but it is the third brother who gets beaten]
After the video connection ended, Fang Hong asked Tian Jiayi to prepare a document related to quantitative capital, which was used as a bargaining chip in exchange, and then submitted it so that someone above him would negotiate with Lao Mei and the others.
Quantitative Capital promises to provide asset management for Wall Street and provides a key promise of guaranteed annualized returns of 0%.
It seems to be a bargaining chip, but it is of no harm to itself. It is tied to the interests of Wall Street capital, so it is difficult for the United States to actually twist it into a bundle. If necessary, it can go further.
Deepen the bondage.
In this way, when Lao America wants to take action against Qunxing Capital in the future, there will be internal disagreements among them.
Anyway, if you take out these so-called chips and exchange them, no matter how bad you are, you will still make money, so there is nothing to hesitate about.
After the gallium and germanium cards were played, the country just sat on the Diaoyutai and watched the situation change. Anyway, there was no rush, just waiting for America on the other side of the ocean to make a new reaction.
If there is no response, then wait until April 1st to officially take effect. Calculating that there is still one month left, give the other party a one-month window.
At present, America has not said anything yet, but that does not mean that there is no action. In fact, she has already asked her younger brother to jump out to explore the bottom.
The Little Book Next Door reacted strongly to this matter, claiming that if it felt unfair, it would take corresponding actions in accordance with WTO and other international rules, including filing a lawsuit.
At this time, I remembered the existence of the WTO, and the double-standard operation was so easy to play, and I selectively forgot all the various suppressions I had implemented in the semiconductor field.
Relatively speaking, Bangzi seems to be trying to downplay the impact of its neighbor's control of gallium and germanium on its local companies. Shortly after the news came out, Bangzi claimed that his company currently has about 40 days of gallium inventory and is actively looking for other sellers.
However, looking for other sellers is just a layman trying to comfort his own people.
Gallium and germanium are not rare earth elements at all, but rare metals.
Taking gallium as an example, the current global annual output is about 40 tons, of which more than 430 tons are in the big Eastern countries, 13 tons are in the Big Bear, 4 tons are in the Ermao Bear, and the rest can be ignored.
The annual output is 40 tons, and more than 430 tons are in the hands of the big Eastern countries. Without this largest seller, the so-called finding other sellers is simply ridiculous.
To put it another way, even if the remaining output of more than ten tons is not enough for his European and American fathers, how can he get his turn?
Moreover, even if it moves out of the WTO, it doesn't matter. Even if the eastern powers completely cut off the international supply of gallium, it is completely reasonable and legal, because the t/r components of modern phased array radars use a large amount of gallium arsenide and gallium nitride.
These are purely military supplies, and the WTO has no control over them.
Gallium, a metal, is known as the "backbone" of the modern electronics industry. Alloys and compounds formed with other elements not only have strong photoelectric and microwave properties, but are also useful in manufacturing high-end chips and solar cells.
The key is even involved in many fields such as photoelectric induction and phased array radar.
Especially gallium nitride, which is still the main raw material for the development of third-generation semiconductors.
In recent years, countries have begun to increase investment in the research and development of third-generation semiconductor technology to promote innovation in materials and devices. The third-generation semiconductor mainly includes materials such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride.
These materials have excellent electrical properties, can withstand higher operating temperatures and voltages, and have higher switching frequencies and lower power consumption.
The third-generation semiconductor is also the core of the breakthrough of the semiconductor panoramic industry chain of Star Capital. The new-generation flagship products of the tar series released by Xingyu Technology in the future will be based on the third-generation semiconductor technology.
In addition, third-generation semiconductors can effectively reduce the size and weight of devices and improve power transmission effects. Therefore, they have broad application prospects in energy, communications, automobiles, optoelectronics and other fields.
Especially in the fields of electric vehicles, photovoltaic power generation and other fields, third-generation semiconductor technology has the tendency to replace traditional silicon-based semiconductors and become the new mainstream technology.
All in all, gallium is the main material for the development of third-generation semiconductors and is currently the most advanced semiconductor material in the world. Germanium can also play a huge role in fiber optic communications, infrared optics, etc.
development in each field.
When this trump card was played, the outside world generally believed that it was aimed at America.
It's not wrong, but it's not the point.
In fact, this was a fight between the eldest brother and the second brother, but it was the third brother who was beaten, and this third brother was from Taiwan.
And when this trump card is played, the real target is this third child, because one of the core demands of the big Eastern countries this time is semiconductor equipment represented by photolithography machines, and those who make photolithography machines are the bad guys in Ozhou.
The Esmore Company.
Judging from the ranking of the quantity of gallium and germanium imported by the big Eastern countries, Xiaobenzi ranks first, and He Lan, who makes photolithography machines, ranks second. However, considering that Xiaobenzi’s current chip manufacturing scale is very small, the glory of the last century has long been achieved.
It ceases to exist.
Therefore, the one who was hurt the most was actually He Lan.
In addition, gallium and germanium imported from Germany also rank among the top.
The manufacturer of lithography machines, Esmore, actually has the shadow of established European technology manufacturers such as Siemens.
In a nutshell, when it comes to gallium or germanium, who will suffer the most when playing the card, it really is not North America.
But Aozhou.
In addition to following America and restricting the big Eastern countries on the issue of photolithography machines, the Europeans actually did other things. In 2001, they launched a heavy blow against the new photovoltaic energy sources of the big Eastern countries.
As early as September 2001, the European Commission issued an announcement to gradually launch a so-called "double-reverse" investigation on photovoltaic panels, photovoltaic cells and other photovoltaic products imported from the Greater China market.
That is anti-dumping and countervailing.
The production costs of European companies are not the main point. The key point is that the raw materials are still purchased from the big Eastern countries, and the demand for gallium in photovoltaics is greater than that of semiconductors.
The chip area required for photovoltaic panels is much larger than that of small precision chips such as mobile phones. How big is the area of a solar panel, and how big is the area of a mobile phone chip?
The answer is self-evident.
In fact, the current reaction of the Asians may give a glimpse of the whole story.
As soon as the gallium and germanium cards were played, the people in Ozhou didn't say much, but they knew how much it hurt them.
Regarding the entire situation, the above obviously saw the essential problem and took action quickly and accurately.
Although the United States is taking the lead in making things happen, this card is not played for the sake of playing cards. It is oriented to achieve its own strategic demands. Therefore, on the surface, it is facing off against America in the middle. What the outside world sees
This is also the case.
But what really hurt the most was the Ouzhou guy who didn't say much.
That’s right if it hurts!
Who told us to restrict photolithography machines and engage in "double reverse" in photovoltaics? These are all jobs done by the African Americans. How can we do this without making you feel pain?
As for sticks and notebooks, they seem to dance the most and attract the most attention, but they are really not the point.
