Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

However, Huaguo officials are not vegetarians. Immediately raising the anti-dumping law, even if it cannot change the situation abroad, at least it must maintain the basic domestic market.

At this time, Huaguo's huge local market has exerted a strong advantage. Even if there is no foreign market, the local chip industry can still survive.

The battle has broken out, and both sides are fighting fiercely. This is a war without gunpowder.

And the Huaguo chip company is not afraid. At this time, there is no way out, and the two sides are doomed to a life-or-death situation.

Many domestic manufacturers of electrical appliances or electronic products have been explicitly or implicitly hinted to use domestic chips as much as possible.

Unless there are chips that are not available in China, or products exported to foreign countries, domestic chips can not be used.

……

Gao Zhiyuan and Cai Zhixing came to the small villa and reported the recent company situation to Huang Mingzhe.

Shenguang Instrument Group has become the largest sector of Siwei Society. This year, it has a total revenue of 1374 billion, but its expenditure is also quite a lot, reaching 1197 billion. reduced.

However, this year, Siweishe has another sector that has sprung up suddenly, and that is Siwei Battery Company, which has brought in tens of billions of revenue and an after-tax profit of as high as 41 billion.

The profit of Dream Company is only 14.3 billion, which is the least profitable enterprise under Sisishe.

"President, Sanxin Group and foreign chip companies have already reacted. It is estimated that the situation next year will not be optimistic." Gao Zhiyuan said solemnly.

Huang Mingzhe said calmly: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, I want to see how long they can last."

"I'm afraid that YMTC and Tsinghua Unigroup, which will be hit hard, won't be able to hold on to memory chips," Gao Zhiyuan reminded.

Well, Huang Mingzhe thought about it. Sanxin has the official support of South Koryo. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Shenguang Instrument can inject capital into Yangtze River Storage and Ziguang when necessary."

"I understand."

Next, Cai Zhixing reported to him the progress of the construction of the headquarters of the Thinking Society and the financial situation of the Thinking Society this year.

The headquarters building of Thinking Society is estimated to be completed before the Spring Festival.

As for the financial situation of Siwei Society, it is obvious that a large number of scientific research projects and equipment investment have caused Siwei Society to have a significant financial deficit, with a deficit of 35 billion.

However, various subsidiaries can make up for this gap, and scientific research is the soul of Siwei Society, and this investment is essential.

Chapter 94 Patent Wars

The International Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Industry Association, as an international neutral organization of the semiconductor industry around the world, announced the 2013 semiconductor industry information at the end of December 2013.

This most authoritative industry report immediately sparked heated discussions around the world.

The report announced the changes in the international semiconductor industry this year, especially in the two fields of semiconductor raw materials and semiconductor equipment, which caused an uproar.

Huaguo semiconductor equipment manufacturers have collectively climbed to the forefront of the world.

Among them, Shenguang Instrument Company surpassed ASML in lithography machines and became the world's top lithography machine manufacturer; Microelectronics surpassed Dongying Nikon and Canon to become the world's third largest lithography machine manufacturer.

In the field of etching machines, China Microelectronics and Applied Materials rank first in the world, and NAURA ranks second in the world.

Among the other seven subdivisions, Huaguo semiconductor equipment manufacturers have already caught up with the world's first-class level, and the coating machine technology is also the world's top.

In the semiconductor raw material industry, Shenguang Instrument is also not to be outdone in terms of photoresist. After all, there is only one company in X-ray photoresist, and this is a true monopoly business.

And Huaguo, such as silicon wafers, silicon wafer cleaners, ion implanters, etc., are also improving.

Traditional semiconductor equipment or material companies such as ASML, Applied Materials, Tokyo Electronics, and Shin-Etsu Corporation feel the pressure at this time.

Applied Materials in Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, USA.

Since they are the world's top companies in semiconductor equipment and raw materials, they have to face the Huaguo semiconductor equipment army headed by Shenguang Instrument.

At this time, the company's president's office was gloomy.

President Robert James looked at the report in his hand, and couldn't help bleeding. Due to the unprecedented fierce competition, their revenue this year dropped by 2012% compared to 27, and their net profit directly became a negative 11%.

"James, we have to think of a way now, otherwise we won't last long." Chief Technology Officer George Hall looked anxious.

"How to..." James also frowns.

Now that the company's stock has plummeted, many directors are already putting pressure on him, and he is also very embarrassed.

Suddenly the phone on the desk rang, and he saw that it was ASML President Wen Nink.

"Hello, why is Wen calling here when you have time?"

"Okay James, let's talk directly!"

"OK."

"We need to put pressure on Waxie to let them lift the restrictions as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences..." Wenningke's subsequent words are self-evident.

But James frowned: "Our two companies"

"No, it's all the semiconductor equipment companies together." Wenningke said resolutely.

The two discussed for a long time, and finally decided to put pressure on Western officials to lift the restrictions on semiconductor equipment.

In this way, they can enter the hinterland of Huaguo. As for the troubles in the chip manufacturing industry, dead friends are not dead, they must be prioritizing their own survival now.

They immediately linked up the capital forces behind them, and immediately started to operate, so that the export restrictions of semiconductor equipment and raw materials in Waxie can be lifted as soon as possible.

But Applied Materials doesn't stop at this. The next step is to reduce prices and promote sales to seize the Huaguo and world markets.

The last is to play legal battles, the favorite method of high-tech industry giants-patent wars.

……

Gao Zhiyuan looked at the pile of lawyer's letters in his hand, as well as the summons from the US Federal Court, and couldn't help but sneer.

He already knew that these foreign devils liked to play this kind of trick. In fact, Shenguang Instrument had long been on guard and prepared for this situation.

Otherwise, they would not have chosen the X-ray lithography route in the first place, just to avoid being picked on by ASML on the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.

However, other semiconductor equipment companies will more or less have technology overlap, which is unavoidable.

He immediately notified each subsidiary and partner to respond to the lawsuit, and at the same time appealed to the Huaguo Court for patent infringement as a counterattack.

Since there is going to be a patent war, one cannot passively fight the battle, but must take the initiative to attack. The big deal is to hurt each other, and it is not known who will win the battle in the end.

At the same time, Shenguang Instruments dispatched a large number of researchers to help subsidiaries or partners avoid each other's patents as much as possible.

Then develop new technologies desperately, and constantly cover the original technologies with new technologies, so that you can be foolproof.

Of course, these foreigners must be trying to play hooligans. Gao Zhiyuan knows that there is a high probability of losing the lawsuit in the United States, but the time must be dragged on slowly, and it is best to fight for four or five years.
