Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

v1 Chapter 564: Chen Xiao's hole card?

Zhang Jing is still in New York at this time.

Although Coastal Semiconductor and Xiaxin International are indeed unable to provide the court with good evidence in terms of core production. . .

But Zhang Jing still followed Chen Xiao's instructions and filed an appeal again.

According to the judicial process in the United States, if the defendant files an appeal, the court still has to accept it according to the procedure.

In the eyes of the outside world, this kind of appeal by Zhang Jing is futile.

It has no effect other than delaying time.

But the relevant judgments have been finalized, no matter how much Zhang Jing delays time, this knife will be suffered sooner or later.

The global semiconductor industry chain also began to adjust the relevant layout after this judgment in the United States.

First of all, Dell, HP and other companies tried their best to contact Changtian Technology to see if they could return the pre-ordered chips.

If the judgment here takes effect.

Then the probability of mass production of my Pangu chip must be 0.

Assuming that Changtian Technology has satisfied the few orders from Dell or HP, what about the follow-up?

It's impossible for Dell to produce a series for such 10,000 to 20,000 computers, right?

Moreover, after the computer is sold, there are still a series of after-sales problems.

If the Pangu chip cannot be produced, then the motherboard and other accessory materials have no value.

Certainly there will not be any factory that has vacated the production line for the production of motherboards that have been discontinued.

So stop loss at this time is the wisest choice.

Companies such as Dell and ASUS are okay, they just applied for the return of the chip, and are willing to pay Changtian Technology a certain amount of compensation according to the agreement in the contract.

However, some pc companies are quite disgusting, directly and unilaterally tearing up the agreement, not even paying liquidated damages.

The phones at the Changtian Technology headquarters have been ringing off the hook.

The calls were all asking to cancel the order of Pangu chips.

It's not just these pc companies who want to pay attention to the news of the US court ruling.

Xia Guo Academy of Sciences and relevant departments of the country are also very concerned about this matter.

And take the initiative to contact Changtian Technology to see if it can provide some assistance in judicial matters.

It's very funny to say.

Whether it is the mainland of Xia Guo or the Wanwan area of ​​Xia Guo, they are all Xia Guo's companies.

Although the intellectual property dispute between the two Xiaguo companies needs to be decided by a court in the United States.

This is the hegemony and comprehensive monopoly of the United States.

Because the core part of the entire chip industry chain is in the United States.

From chip design, equipment design to equipment production, as well as the sale of chip raw materials, the purchase of the chip itself and the formulation of technical standards, almost all the key links are in the United States.

Because the standards are in the hands of the Americans, the right to speak is also in the hands of the Americans.

The chip industry in the United States says that your chips do not meet the standards, so the major PC companies in the world are almost afraid to purchase your chips, and the chip production equipment of other companies around the world may not be sold to you.

This is the most typical long-arm jurisdiction and intellectual hegemony.

During this time, Lian Xiang was really laughing like crazy.

Although Yang Qing did not make any statement to the outside world, he also saw the news that a large number of orders for Pangu chips were cancelled.

Analysts from Lianxiang Marketing Department immediately analyzed the relevant situation.

Their analysis found that Shenzhou's PC was heavily dependent on the Pangu chip.

Especially in the field of high-end PCs, almost the only chip that can be used is the Pangu chip.

If the production of Pangu chips is seriously affected, the products will not be able to be mass-produced and offline normally.

Then the output of Shenchuan's Jiaolong series must not be able to keep up.

If Jiaolong's production cannot keep up with sales, there will definitely be a sharp decline.

Shenzhou, the second-ranked PC manufacturer in the country, is likely to continue to fall to a third-rate manufacturer within a month.

Lianxiang also felt that this must be his chance.

Prior to this, Lianxiang suspended or reduced its procurement plan for all chips.

The reason is that I am struggling with whether to use the Pangu chip.

Now Lianxiang doesn't have to worry about it.

Pangu chips are about to become history and disappear in this market.

Yang Qing even joked to his assistant: "You can find a way to buy a Shenchuan Jiaolong series as a collection, because soon the PCs of this series will disappear from the store shelves."

Lianxiang immediately purchased a large number of related mid-to-high-end chips from Intel and AMD.

Prepare for distribution in early 2005.

The quantity purchased this time is the highest in history.

After all, in 2005, not only the Lianxiang brand but also the IBM brand needed to be distributed globally.

Lianxiang's ambition is not small. He hopes to take advantage of the crisis that Changtian Technology has encountered this time, and beat Shenzhou to the ground in one fell swoop, so that Shenzhou will no longer be able to compete with Lianxiang.

The only one that can hold its breath is Shenzhou, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology.

Shenzhou also had to hold his breath, because he didn't have any resources other than the backing of Changtian Technology.

Consumers in the market are also entangled.

From an emotional point of view, they are willing to buy Shenzhou computers.

Because Shenzhou's computer is cost-effective, and its performance is quite good.

But intellectually speaking, they had to delete the Shenzhou computer from their purchase list.

Because after buying the Shenzhou computer now, if the Pangu chip and the corresponding accessories are produced, the production will be stopped due to the legal judgment of the United States.

What should I do if the computer encounters any after-sales problems in the future?

Song Yi sorted out what happened during this period and the information collected and reported to Chen Xiao.

The main purpose was to seek Chen Xiao's opinion.

After all, Changtian Technology still had some difficulty in the face of the return and refund demands of this big PC company.

Song Yi is Chen Xiao's most caring person.

She doesn't know what Zodiac's idea is now, and she doesn't know how Changtian Technology will take the next step.

But Song Yi did feel a crisis, an unprecedented crisis.

After seeing the chargeback request from Dell and other companies, Chen Xiao said to Song Yi very calmly, "According to the contract."

According to the meaning of the contract is very clear.

That is, Changtian Technology, which is willing to return and refund, has no objection, and you can just pay the liquidated damages.

If you want to return the product for a refund and don’t want to pay liquidated damages, then I’m really sorry that this book is not for sale.

Song Yi was in a hurry, but she was not in a hurry when she saw Chen Xiao.

Not too much, so I hurried down to do the work arranged by the boss.

After all, there are so many companies that want to return and refund, and Changtian Technology is busy.

And Song Yi also undertakes the job of speaking in the press.

Many journalists and people in related industries sought information about Wanchangtian Technology by phone or in writing.

Song Yi also organizes press releases.

At this time, the curved area.

Zhang Zhong and other senior executives of TSMC have held a celebration banquet in the holding hotel of TSMC.

After all, the first-instance judgment of the US court has come down.

The first-instance judgment fully agreed to all the demands of FTMC.

This has laid the legal foundation for the status of the semiconductor king of fetal semiconductors.

Zhang Zhong is actually a very smart person.

He knows what he should and shouldn't do.

He thinks that TSMC should be a pure processing company, so that the company can become a support for the US chip company and serve the US chip company.

Only in this way can you live your little life in peace and stability.

Zhang Zhong is also very clear that TSMC is only suitable for the dirty work of chip processing, not chip design and sales.

As long as TSMC has a little care to design chips, in terms of technical strength, it is completely satisfied.

But Zhang Zhong also knows that if TSMC really does this, then the end of TSMC may be much worse than that of Xiaxin International.

Technology giants such as the United States absolutely do not allow any semiconductor company to appear outside the United States, which can compete with itself technically.

Many senior executives of Taiji Electric said excitedly:

"The compensation from Coastal Semiconductor and Xiaxin International allows us to expand our production line, and there is still a lot left!"

"We can definitely put the factory in the mainland of Xiaguo. Going to that place is just free money!"

"Isn't it? There are absolute preferential policies, tax exemption for three years and preferential tax for five years, and free land. Take Suzhou and Hangzhou as an example. He built the factory directly, and we can just move the equipment there!"

"If you don't like it or the price in other cities is better, let's take out the equipment and move it away!"

"We have shares in both Coastal Semiconductor Company and Xiaxin International, so we can completely use these two production companies as our subsidiary factories!"

Zhang Zhong listened to the high-level executives chattering about his future hegemonic world, he smiled, and although he didn't say anything, he was very proud in his heart.

Xiaxin International and Yanjiang Semiconductor Company are a big piece of fat.

It's not to say how big these two companies are, but that these two companies are facing the Xia country market.

How big is Xiaguo Market?

The potential is immeasurable!

After eating these two big pieces of fat through legal means, fetal power is definitely a win!

Zhang Zhong even took out his mobile phone in a very wicked way and called Liu Dachuan.

"Mr. Liu, why didn't I see you back during the Spring Festival, and even said that I wanted to invite you to dinner!"

Liu Dachuan was also in a state of desperation at this time.

On his side, he put his own wealth and life away, abandoned the assets of Wanwan Island, went to Changtian Technology, and built a factory in Shanghai.

All profits are put on the production of Pangu chips.

But judging from the current situation, Liu Dachuan is likely to lose everything.

If the Pangu chip is not allowed to be produced because of intellectual property rights.

Bida Semiconductor Company could not get any orders at all.

The only chance of getting an order is to cooperate with TPMC again and go through that kind of hard life without dignity again.

Liu Dachuan was very angry.

Of course he knew that Zhang Zhong's call now must be uneasy and kind, but it was just to tease himself.

Liu Dachuan could also hear some noisy voices behind Zhang Zhong from the phone.

The sound of drinking, the sound of cheering, and the sound of laughter.

Obviously, Taijidian is holding a celebration banquet at this time.

Liu Dachuan sneered, hung up the phone without making any answer.

And what about Liu Dachuan?

The senior management of Bida Semiconductor also learned of the judgment of the United States. At this time, two groups have been formed at the senior management level.

On the one hand, it is hoped that Bida Semiconductor will completely withdraw from the mainland, take back 30% of the shares to Changtian Technology, return to Wanwan Island, and cooperate with TSMC again.

Because from the current point of view, this is the only way for Bida Semiconductor to survive.

Another group of people insisted on staying in the Shanghai stock market in mainland China because they were fed up with tire accumulation.

"Even if Xiaxin International and Yanjiang Semiconductor Company received an unfavorable judgment this time, the market of Xiaguo is an uncultivated virgin land!"

"Then we can give full play to our technical advantages and start from scratch! Even if we have to work harder now, it doesn't matter!"

Liu Dachuan felt a pain in his head when he saw such a quarrel among the top management.

Jiangzhou Changtian Technology Headquarters.

Chen Xiao was watching a movie and drinking tea in the office.

The phone rang quickly and then calmed down.

This is the sound of text messages.

Chen Xiao turned on the phone and saw that it was from Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang said in a text message: "I have arrived in Holland and got in touch with ASML."

Chen Xiao replied in the text message: "Enjoy the tulips in full bloom and the windmill."

Spring has arrived and the weather is gradually returning.

From March to May is when the tulips are in full bloom, Chen Xiao said to herself: "Going to Holland at this time is really a beautiful scenery!"

Wang Xiang didn't have any time to enjoy the scenery.

With a team of three, he found the senior management of ASML through Holland's Chinese engineers.

Asmail learned that it was the CEO and president of Changtian Technology who came to visit, so he paid more attention to it, and sent a vice president, Kosiros, to meet Wang Xiang.

Kosiros thought that Wang Xiang came to buy a lithography machine this time. After all, he knew Changtian Technology and its subsidiary company Yanjiang Semiconductor.

The 130nm optical technology currently used by Coastal Semiconductor is still obtained from middlemen in Europe, not directly purchased from ASML.

The 180nm optical technology most commonly used by Xiaxin International is a second-hand product purchased from Germany.

Kosiros also knew about the verdict in the United States. Although Coastal Semiconductor is appealing, the chances of a comeback are slim.

Although the judgment of the US court did not prohibit Changtian Technology from engaging in the semiconductor processing industry.

But ASML's most important shareholder is Intel.

Intel is absolutely not happy to sell Changtian technology-related equipment here.

Moreover, after the 1980s ~lightnovelpub.net~ the United States and Europe issued a series of laws prohibiting the export of high-end equipment to Xia.

Lithography machine is one of the high-end equipment.

Kosiros also said very straightforwardly: "Mr. Wang Xiang, you should also know the current industry situation. We definitely have no way to sell equipment to your company."

"But if your company really needs products, we can sell some civilian micron lithography machines."

This is totally insulting.

Wang Xiang smiled and did not answer, and said: "Mr. Kosiros, this time I came in the name of the company, not to purchase equipment, but to discuss cooperation with you."

Kosiros was stunned at this moment, what can Changtian Technology cooperate with him?

Wang Xiang said: "I don't know if ASML is interested in a 65-nanometer lithography machine with a yield rate of more than 90%?"
