Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

Now the problem that SMIC needs to solve is the matching and adjustment of equipment such as etching machines and ion implanters.

Domestically, there is still a certain degree of competitiveness in these equipments. For example, the etching machine of Shanghai Zhongwei Semiconductor is good, but there is still a certain gap in other equipment such as ion implantation machines, vacuum sputtering coating machines, and developing machines. .

Fortunately, the lithography machine and photoresist of Shenguang Instrument have successfully broken the monopoly of ASML's high-end lithography machine.

In addition, SMIC has also accumulated some imported equipment over the years, which is why Zhao Jun dared to take risks.

However, SMIC's internal problems are not small, especially the four major shareholders who are competing with each other. The largest shareholder is Datang Telecom, the second largest shareholder is China Investment Fund, and the third and fourth are Shanghai Industrial, TSMC.

The management of SMIC has always wanted to maintain an independent and international route, mainly because most of SMIC's customers are overseas customers.

Datang Telecom hopes to control SMIC and turn it into a new pillar industry of its own.

Therefore, the battle between major shareholders and management is inevitable, and TSMC will not allow Datang Telecom to annex SMIC.

This shows how serious the strife within SMIC is.

And this time Zhao Jun also went all out to invest in the research and development of 12nm chips in order to suppress Datang Telecom, hoping to take advantage of the victory to suppress Datang Telecom.

……

In fact, Shenguang Instrument Group also has shares in SMIC, part of which is 2% obtained from the lithography machine sales contract; the other part is directly acquired by Huang Mingzhe in the rice stock market.

Ghost has secretly registered tens of thousands of accounts in offshore areas around the world.

Before the Shenguang 1 X-ray lithography machine was announced, Huang Mingzhe was shorting ASML and long SMIC.

Taking advantage of the profits gained from shorting ASML, Ghost is currently on the US market, holding 11.63% of SMIC's shares.

However, because this part of the stock is scattered in various unrelated accounts, no one knows that Huang Mingzhe already holds 13.63% of SMIC's shares.

And other companies that purchase Shenguang lithography machines also have more or less shares in the hands of Shenguang Instruments.

Among them, HiSilicon chips have the most, reaching 15%, and are the second largest shareholder of HiSilicon chips.

This is Sisishe's strategy. Shenguang Instruments does not need to directly produce chips, but it must maintain its influence among chip manufacturers.

This situation is different from ASML, which is jointly controlled by various chip manufacturing companies, such as Sanxin Electronics, TSMC, Intel, Texas Instruments, and Gro Ark, all of which have shares in ASML.

Obviously, Siwei Society is more powerful than ASML.

While thinking about self-protection, Huang Mingzhe told Ghost to speed up the acquisition of SMIC's shares. Obviously he wanted to control SMIC.

TSMC is also in a nervous mood. Although Zhang Zhongmou wants to balance ASML’s dominance by purchasing Shenguang X-ray lithography machines, the problem is that TSMC is now involuntary.

Because the largest shareholder of TSMC is from the United States, Zhang Zhongmou is just a high-level wage earner. Once he angers his father from the United States, the consequences will not be acceptable to him.

Through SMIC's internal announcement, TSMC already knows that the other party is developing 12-nanometer chips.

TSMC, like Intel, is still developing 14nm, and the money has already been invested, so we can't give up halfway now!

Zhang Zhongmou can only say that it is too difficult for me.

Chapter 76 Lightning Acquisition

mid-may.

The weather in Lingnan is getting hot and humid.

Huang Mingzhe was wearing short-sleeved shorts and flip flops, typing on the computer in the villa.

And in the research institute area of ​​Siwei Society in Haicheng County, in an unremarkable six-story building.

Countless industrial robots have been transformed into semi-intelligent robots with more sensitive automation, and the ghost subroutine controls this secret base.

The external name of the base is Industrial Robot Research Institute, but this Industrial Robot Research Institute is divided into two parts. The front is the real Industrial Robot Research Institute, and the back is Huang Mingzhe's secret base.

A secret is a secret when only one person knows it.

Under Huang Mingzhe's remote operation, these industrial robots were working in obscurity.

This secret base is mainly used to develop special protective equipment and some gadgets.

Although he wants to develop nano-robots through molecular cybernetics, it is a pity that the conditions for this thing are not mature. Nano-robots need to be controlled by huge equipment and can only be tested in the laboratory.

The equipment he needs, the hidden equipment that can be carried with him.

At present, only three gadgets have been developed, namely: a micro-molecular tester, which is used to prevent food poisoning, and looks like a ballpoint pen.

The directional infrasound generator, which looks like a ring, can surprise and paralyze mammals about 3 meters in front.

The strong elastic airbag looks like a small vest. In an emergency, the airbag can be activated instantly, wrapping his whole body inside the airbag. The airbag is a spherical shape, and the material is very strong and smooth.

Not only can it resist the shock waves and sound waves of bombs, but it can also block fragments and steel balls.

However, this airbag is a one-time product, and there is no way to retract it after it is activated, and it can block ordinary grenades. If it encounters a powerful attack, it still has no way to defend.

Under normal circumstances, there are very few people in China who can get powerful weapons. As long as they don't go abroad, it's not a big problem for the time being.

As for other high-end protective equipment, it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice!

He also wants to make a set of mechas or super soldier potions, but the materials and energy cannot keep up, and super soldier potions need human experiments, messing with this thing will really kill people.

In the midst of being busy.

Ghosts are also constantly stirring up the situation in the international financial market, thanks to the various subsidiaries of Sisishe no longer needing Huang Mingzhe's blood transfusion.

Since March 2013, the funds controlled by ghosts have been snowballing.

At present, among the tens of thousands of accounts, a total of 6.7 million US dollars in cash are held in total, and there are also a large number of company stocks in hand.

At this time, in Huang Mingzhe's private account, he already held a 15.6% stake in SMIC.

He picked up the phone and called Cai Zhixing.

"President."

"Zhixing, talk to CIC and TSMC to see if you can buy their shares."

"Ok."

……

After Zhang Zhongmou listened to the vice president's report, he said without thinking, "Reject the Thinking Club."

Obviously, Zhang Zhongmou does not want to give up his shares. Now SMIC is on the rise. At this time, whether it is from the position of a ruler or a competitor in chip manufacturing, Zhang Zhongmou has not given up the idea of ​​​​holding SMIC.

The vice president was not surprised: "Then I will answer the other party."
