AMAT, the world's leader in semiconductor equipment and providing software and hardware services for the semiconductor industry, is even more popular at the moment.
"We are the world's largest semiconductor equipment company, but in the far east, that emerging company called Jiuzhou Technology has only been in business for a few years? It can actually provide Xia Xin with hardware equipment and software support for the 5-nanometer chip production process. !
We have more than 18,400 employees and more than 11,900 patented technologies! But at this moment it makes me feel powerless.
Daxia has its own wafers, its own equipment, and its own industrial software, but what about us? ! ! !
Those damn congressmen spend all day hyping up skin color and race for the sake of their votes. They xing a few of these inferior things, they only know how to boycott when they encounter technical problems! fk! ! ! "
The president of AMAT used foul language during the meeting.
He agreed with Gates's opinion at the beginning, and blindly resisting would only make Daxia work harder on research and development.
This culture of buying instead of buying must be based on the fact that you can buy better and cheaper products. When companies in Daxia cannot buy chips, photolithography machines, or core technologies, they will develop and manufacture by themselves.
The market with a population of more than one billion can fully support many companies in the semiconductor industry. Once Daxia embarks on its own research and development path and can produce excellent products, the competitive advantage of foreign companies' products will be gone.
He originally thought that this day might take five or six years to arrive, but who knew that Jiuzhou Technology suddenly appeared and took Daxia's semiconductor industry from the second batch of teams to soaring in just one year like a hormone? Arrived at the front of the first group.
What should I do with this horse? !
After AMAT's shareholders and other executives learned about the latest situation, it was natural that Uncle Sam's relevant departments also knew about it.
And they are more sensitive.
Enterprises are making less money, but for them, they can make money again.
How much profit will there be if the ban continues? Not to mention the stocks of related companies, even if you receive some red envelopes from behind, your retirement life will be guaranteed in the future.
After several rounds of meetings, AS-ML executives who were still looking at windmills also flew to North America. Korean star Li Zairong and Korean star Semiconductor’s new CEO Kim Dae-sung, as well as TSMC executives and other famous semiconductor company executives around the world They were all "sincerely invited" to Uncle Sam's back garden for cordial and friendly discussions.
For a time, the stock market was in chaos, and self-media advertisements and speculative articles were flying all over the sky.
Netizens in Daxia started the first round of super melon-eating activities in the new year.
"Do you want to master all semiconductors, do nothing, let companies around the world work for you, and print your own money to solve all economic problems? No?"
"I just saw that Xia Xing was going to release a new phone a few days ago. Are you going to do this with me in the past few days? Don't you want people to have a peaceful New Year? What else can you do quickly, or I will start school!!!"
"I have a friend who works at Jiuzhou Technology. He hasn't gone home on vacation for three years. His family used to complain that he was useless and didn't know how to go to a foreign company to earn US dollars. Now it seems that he may be in the semiconductor department. It's really Thank you for your hard work, ugh.”
"Xia Xing Technology can produce 5 nanometer chips. If Kirin is stable, then Chenxing chips are also stable, right? I heard that Xia Xing has a new opportunity to launch Chenxing S11. I don't know what the price and performance will be. I am really looking forward to it..."
"Who's going to slap me? It feels like a dream. Do we have our own high-end chips and industrial software? Really or fake? Could it be that we bought equipment from a foreign company? Or the Dutch AS-ML What happened to the fire in the company’s warehouse?”
"Good brother upstairs, this is our own lithography machine and our own industrial software. Companies such as Jiuzhou Technology and Pudong Microelectronics are pure Daxia companies, so don't panic."
No matter how well the confidentiality work was done before, the people of Daxia are now so shocked.
Although everyone knew that these companies were secretly holding back big moves, who knew that not long after that, they not only held back big moves, but they were also at the top level.
Affected by this news, Boss Huang and Su Ma, who had previously raised prices to stock up on the excuse of insufficient production capacity and mine bosses raiding goods, as well as many brands of graphics card manufacturers and agents, have begun to slightly lower the prices of graphics cards. The second-hand market has also exploded overnight. Tens of thousands of new graphics cards have been released.
Of course, trading in the virtual currency market is still booming, and "technical adjustments" reappeared, and were subsequently pulled up a few points.
However, after Xiaxin Technology released the news, domestic memory manufacturers also released similar news. Production capacity has been increased, costs have been reduced, and memory manufacturing technology will usher in new processes.
Suddenly, the price of memory, which had increased due to memory mining, returned to its original price.
Everyone in the know knows that the reason why these price adjustments are relatively normal is because whether it is graphics card chips or memory chips, chip foundries ship goods on a quarterly basis, and contract orders are signed on an annual basis, so it is still possible in a short period of time. Able to control shipment volume.
But they are all worried about the changes in these time points in three months and half a year. Many companies will definitely place orders to Xiaxin instead of TSMC and Korean Star.
As for manufacturers such as TSMC and Korean Semiconductor, in order to get enough orders, they will definitely lower their OEM order prices and even provide many discounts. After all, in the past, everyone had no choice. For memory, Korean stars were better. TSMC is good at making CPUs with higher integration and more important algorithms, but with the rise of Xiaxin, the previous 7-nanometer process CPU Chenxing S11 manufactured by Kyushu Technology was inferior to a lot of peers, let alone the 5-nanometer one now.
Many companies are anxious, but the relevant departments in North America are very fast.
Without negotiating with the relevant companies, Uncle Sam’s spokesperson could not hold back at first and fired directly: “Jiuzhou Technology, Xiaxin Technology, Pudong Microelectronics and other companies are all on our special list, and they are not allowed to use... ...If their products want to enter our market, they must undergo product inspections, and corporate factories must also obtain production licenses...Ah, America is a free and broad country...We are setting out to build a more open city to accommodate the whole world. All companies come here to build factories and set up companies.”
As soon as this statement came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
There was a lot of discussion on Twitter, and even the domestic community was outraged.
“From what this old witch said, I’m just a day student—I can’t hold myself back in school, hahaha~”
"Are you aiming North America's guns at our Daxia businesses? What does freedom mean? People who live by the sea are indeed lenient."
"What do you mean by double standards? Did TSMC go to North America to build a factory? It lost a lot of money and didn't do anything."
