Chapter 769: Qualcomm and Nvidia

Silicon Valley is located in northern California and southern San Francisco Bay Area.

Not only has it been the kingdom of the electronics and computer industries for the past two decades, the region's venture capital has accounted for one-third of the total venture capital investment in the United States.

Nowadays, these venture capital investments have completely become real “risk capital investments”.

The strong rise of Daxia Technology has caused the profitability of Silicon Valley companies to begin to decline. The 2022 profits of large companies such as Google, HP, Intel, Pingguo, Cisco, Nvidia, Oracle, Tesla, and Yahoo have been different year-on-year. Decline.

According to statistics, there are more than 10,000 large and small electronic industry companies in Silicon Valley, and the semiconductor integrated circuits and electronic computers produced account for about 1/3 and 1/6 of the United States.

These former glory are becoming tighter and tighter shackles.

Investors' increasingly stringent requirements have made financing for North American companies increasingly difficult.

Small and medium-sized enterprises began to go bankrupt, while large enterprises were able to survive because of their abundant capital and former glory.

Investment institutions are increasingly turning their attention to Daxia, a land full of gold.

Anmen, the president of Qualcomm and the fourth CEO, was looking gloomily out of the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly driving towards the Rolls-Royce in the distance.

He knew that sitting on this car was a large amount of capital worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

And he had just sent the other person away with his own hands, in every sense of the word.

"We will start to consider long-term returns more prudently. If your company cannot allow us to see stable future returns, then this investment will be a friendship. Of course, our friendship will always exist."

The words of Gorman, the head of Morgan Stanley, are still ringing in Anmon’s ears.

Amon knew clearly that Morgan Stanley’s friendly investment would not be able to satisfy Qualcomm’s development.

But what can be done?

He looked at the luxury car that disappeared from his sight and let out a long sigh. His whole body seemed to be getting older and more decadent.

He took out his cell phone and looked through his address book, but he still didn't make a call to another investment bank.

"Perhaps, none of the American investment banks today dare to give us low-interest loans, let alone normal financing."

In just one week, the semiconductor industry led by Korea and Hansung has fallen into a stagnation with no end in sight. The chips Qualcomm handed over to Hansung Electronics for OEM will naturally become useless.

Can a chip company have a future without chip output?

What’s more chilling is that when Qualcomm was about to face foreseeable bankruptcy, Pingguo and Intel, former semiconductor alliance partners, chose to stand aside.

Of course, there is language support, but it is limited to language support.

For other support, such as helping to increase TSMC's share of production capacity, no partner company has spoken.

And not only Qualcomm, but Nvidia, which relies on Korean Electronics to manufacture chips, is also facing the same experience at this time.

Even worse than Qualcomm, Nvidia President Huang Jenxun has even seen letters in his mailbox from certain companies wanting to acquire their own company's patents...

It is obvious that many companies want to eat up technology companies with Korean Star Electronics as their semiconductor base.

The dangers of Daxia Semiconductor Enterprises are dangerous enough, but they have to eat the meat that is on their lips.

The once "unbreakable" Western Semiconductor Alliance suddenly fell into civil strife.

Carbon-based chips, Yunjin display panels, silicon-based chips, and Lingjing ecology, these four big killers are conquering the city step by step, and they far exceed the "expectations" of these Western semiconductor companies.

"You all want to see us die, don't you?!"

Qualcomm President Groupama's eyes became profound at this time.

There was a war between heaven and man in his heart.

However, this mentality did not last long. The arrival of a fellow sufferer made him feel much better.

The person who came was none other than Boss Huang, Mr. Huang of Nvidia, who once looked confident and thought he was the God of the gaming party.

"Our company and your company's chip foundry business relies heavily on Korean Star Electronics. In the past, Korean Star Electronics' foundry was a little worse than TSMC. We want TSMC's production capacity, but these companies led by Ping Guo treat us like thieves and strictly guard against us. .

In recent years, with the technical support of Jiuzhou Technology, the yield rate, manufacturing process, and foundry technology have been significantly improved.

Our company has placed a large order with Hanxing Electronics, and I believe your company will do the same.

But now, Han Xing Electronics' factory is shut down, and it can even be expected that the technical negotiation issue will definitely not be properly resolved. "

Huang Renxun’s explanation made Qualcomm President An Meng feel uncomfortable.

"I know, I know what you mean, neither of our two companies have stable chip foundry channels.

If you want us, Qualcomm, to invest in chip foundry companies with your NVIDIA, then I'm sorry.

Our company cannot provide this level of resources. I believe that not only our Qualcomm, but also the entire West cannot have a company that can create a semiconductor chip foundry from scratch that can replace Han Xing Electronics. "

Huang Renxun pinched his nose and nodded awkwardly.

Anmeng is right. With the financial resources of the two companies, it is easy to build a chip foundry company, but if you want to become a semiconductor company like Korean Star Electronics, it has both massive chip foundry production capacity and top-end high-end process chip foundry capabilities. , that is undoubtedly a foolish dream.

But Huang Renxun's purpose was not here, so he stared straight into An Meng's eyes and said mysteriously: "We have created such a powerful semiconductor company, and it is impossible for the West to create a third one, but Daxia Woolen cloth?"

"Summer?"

An Meng's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, Daxia!"

“Our research laboratory has conducted cracking and reverse research on chips produced by Jiuzhou Technology and Xiawei.

Although Jiuzhou Technology's chips have very strong anti-disassembly settings, Xia Wei's Kirin chips do not have such strong protection.

Our research laboratory found that the steady-state micro-bunching ss1mb light source used in Daxia's second-generation silicon-based chip technology is a powerful light source that is ahead of our Evu lithography machine. All the semiconductor industries that Daxia Semiconductor relies on are based on this technology as the core and upgraded.

Although their semiconductors are not what we define as fourth- or fifth-generation lithography machines, they are a semiconductor industry independent of our technology system. It is precisely because of this specialness that it can support Jiuzhou Technology's unique chip architecture and algorithm.

According to the speculations of our chip engineers and R&D personnel, even if Pingguo's latest chip can achieve the ordinary level of Chenxing chip under ideal conditions, it will never have the data processing performance and AI intelligence comparable to Chenxing chip. "
