“But after the 1960s, Britain began to fall off the altar.
Then engineers from Texas Instruments, a pioneer in the semiconductor industry, founded Mostik, and then became the second overlord with its advanced technology of 4kb and 16kb DRAM!
....”
Listening to Wu Huacheng's introduction, Li Xiucheng himself recalled it.
At that time, this company was quite as powerful as Fairchild, the originator of semiconductors, and once held 80% of the international semiconductor market.
However, the good times did not last long. In 1978, four of its employees resigned and founded the now-famous Micron Company in a basement.
Because the memory market was in recession in the 1980s, Mostik chose to fight in the memory industry, but was defeated by the Korean and Japanese companies that had just come to an end.
Thinking of this, Li Xiucheng had to say that Mostik was really unlucky. Both companies had government backgrounds. Of course, a private company could not compete with the same policy to protect him.
What's more, it was unfortunate that Midea's photolithography machine technology had defects at that time, while Rigui's photolithography machine technology was successfully developed.
Under the overall impact, the semiconductor industry was actually dominated by Japan and Han.
After that, even if the US emperor forced Japan to open up the chip market, it would not be able to hold down the development momentum of the two countries.
"Like all ordinary companies, Mostik, which was losing out in the competition, was getting worse day by day. Finally, it was acquired by Thomason, a Chinese company, and merged with SGS. Now it is a company with only a name but no entity."
"How can such a company be so powerful that all memory manufacturers dare not speak out?" someone questioned.
"You don't know this. Although this company is not strong now, it holds a lot of memory patents. Almost all memory companies today will be suppressed by it."
"Ah~ I remember. I seem to have seen foreign articles before. It was a company called SMT that sued a memory company for patent fee compensation. Isn't this SMT the SMT you mentioned, Mostik Company?"
Wu Huacheng smiled and nodded at the colleague who was speaking: "Yes, that's the name. In Chinese, it should be called Yifa Semiconductor!"
"Very good. Xiao Wu's memory is really good, and he is knowledgeable and able to remember things well. It's really rare."
Li Xiucheng clapped his hands and said in appreciation: "Please take a seat."
After receiving the praise, Wu Huacheng sat down happily, while others were extremely envious.
This guy showed his face in front of Mr. Li today, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future.
Li Xiucheng didn't care what they thought and said to everyone: "Now that the story is over, do you have anything to say?"
Perhaps stimulated by Wu Huacheng, after hearing Li Xiucheng's question, many people immediately wanted to express themselves and raised their hands to speak.
"Come on." Li Xiucheng casually nodded to a middle-aged man.
The other party stood up excitedly and said: "Mr. Li, now that we know who the other party is, we can directly contact them to find out the reason, and then find a way to discuss a solution."
A satisfactory solution, Li Xiucheng nodded noncommittally, and then nodded to the next middle-aged lady.
"I don't think we can just contact the other party. Since they are making things difficult for us, they won't compromise so easily, so we have to make two preparations. We should contact the memory manufacturers he sued and Han Guo.
After all, the enemy of their enemy is their friend, and I think there will be people willing to cause trouble for them. "
"This is a good idea and can be listed as a backup plan." Li Xiucheng waved his hands to everyone who was still raising their hands and said: "Okay, Manager Sun, let's try it first as they said. In addition, it's better to We need to find out as soon as possible why this Mostik is targeting us.
Remember, this is the point!
It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
We cannot allow an enemy hostile to us to lurk. "
Li Xiucheng said the last sentence the most, and Sun Xuming nodded immediately.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I have used all my connections and will find out the truth as soon as possible."
"Okay, that's it. I'll stay in Shencheng tonight. I won't leave until noon tomorrow. I hope you can give me good news before leaving!"
"yes!"
Sun Xuming felt nervous. Although Li Xiucheng said this tactfully, it was obvious that he had been given a deadline. If he didn't make some achievements, he would look bad.
Li Xiucheng left immediately after finishing speaking, but Sun Xuming did not dare to relax at all and called on everyone to start the investigation at full speed.
But things are not that simple. After all, it is a company across the ocean.
Coupled with the fact that it is already in decline, not many people pay attention to it at ordinary times, let alone any personal connections.
Fortunately, one of the department managers had a mentor who happened to know the person in charge of this shell company when he was studying abroad in China.
Only then did he seek help from the other party through this relationship.
If not for this, Sun Xuming would have been so anxious that he couldn't even sleep that night.
But even so, he waited at the company until after two o'clock in the morning for the call from overseas!
After understanding the whole story, he couldn't help but be shocked that the incident really happened with Jinxiu Group.
No, to be precise, it’s Jinxiu Electronic Technology!
"Mr. Li, according to the news we got from overseas, the root cause of the matter lies with Jinxiu Electronic Technology. Motorola's Spencer suffered successive losses, which made our entire Jinxiu Group hate us.
It happened that their company had completed its capital injection into Mostik, so they took the opportunity to retaliate against us and wanted to restrict our pager business and personal computer business.
It is said that Mostik introduced me. "
Early the next morning, Sun Xuming went to Li Xiucheng with a pair of dark circles under his eyes and told Li Xiucheng exactly what he had learned.
After hearing this, Li Xiucheng said in great surprise: "Mostik has joined Motorola?"
"Yes, I heard that I acquired 51% of SMT's shares to complete the control!"
"Oh!" Li Xiucheng nodded solemnly. In the memory of his previous life, SMT was never very good, so he relied on Mostik's patent capital to fight long-term lawsuits with major memory manufacturers to make money. , but it has never been acquired by Motorola.
If there is no deviation in these news, then history has been changed under my influence again!
And what does this move by Motorola mean?
In their previous life, they had been struggling in the field of communications, and finally fell to the new era product of smartphones.
Now that you are suddenly entering the semiconductor field, are you purely looking for capital investment or are you really interested in making a big splash in this area?
Li Xiucheng couldn't figure it out for a while, he just felt that things had become a little complicated.
