Chapter 98: The Mystery of the Qingzhou Chip, Killing the Scalper with a Sword

The man is not guilty, but he is guilty. Peter Wennink cannot defend himself. If there is no evidence to prove that he did not sell EUV lithography machines to Longxing Technology, it is useless even if he talks about it.

So he didn’t explain it and directly invited Mollenkopf, Fujiwara Kenji, Wang Miao and other semiconductor industry executives to the headquarters of ASML in the Netherlands.

He didn’t eat the bowl of rice noodles, so it’s impossible to let him cut his stomach open, right?

A group of big guys in the semiconductor field took a flight directly overnight to the ASML headquarters in the Netherlands.

at the same time

The news that Dragon State Enterprises created 14-nanometer chips”out of thin air” also traveled across the ocean and reached the ears of some people in the United States.

They couldn’t sit still anymore

They are afraid!

They are afraid!

In order to restrict the development of Longguo’s semiconductor industry, they not only frequently resorted to secret tricks, but also set up various restrictions.

With the purchase of 13.5 extreme ultraviolet light EUV lithography machines limited, how did Longguo manufacture 14nm chips?

It was dimly lit in the parliament chamber, and a group of”gentlemen” in suits and ties were discussing.

“Longxing Technology Company, 14 Qingzhou nanometer-level chips, how can they be mass-produced without EUV lithography machines?”

“Mollenkopf sent an email saying that on December 12th, Longguo sold 100,000 units of the brilliant X1 mobile phone. This shows that the 14-nanometer Qingzhou processor has been mass-produced. Who is the OEM? This must be sent to find out.”

“It is not only necessary to check the OEM, but also the EDA software they use and the EUV lithography machines used in production.”

“Is it possible that they have broken through the limitations of photolithography machines?”

As soon as these words came out

The House of Parliament is as quiet as dead water

After the atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, someone suddenly thought of something and said:”There are ways to break through the limitations of the photolithography machine. The multiple exposure idea proposed by Dr. Witte can be achieved, but this requires extremely high photolithography technology. The Dragon Kingdom will not have such talents”

“What if there is?”

someone asked

“If there is, then comprehensive sanctions will be imposed. I prefer TSMC OEM, or ASML is making extra money.”

“It’s impossible. Currently, there are not many talents in the field of lithography in Longguo. Feng Chengming, the chief engineer of Loongson International, is one, but his technology is only average to below average here.”

“I agree. Now we should check ASML to see if EUV lithography machines are sold privately.”

“The CEO of Gaotong Company, Molenkov, has already gone. I also sent Martina there. I believe there will be results soon.”

“I hope we worry too much”

“Well, you can pay more attention to Longxing Technology Company and Chen Xing. He and his company are developing too fast.”

“I’m staring”

“I really can’t imagine that the 14nm commercial processor chip is actually the world’s first launch by Longguo Enterprise. There must be an explanation for this.”

This last sentence was recognized by everyone at the conference table

They don’t believe that chips will appear out of thin air unless God comes

……

the other side

Dutch ASML company headquarters

Peter Wennink didn’t explain, and directly took out all the ledgers and all the order information for review.

Mollenkopf did not step forward, and neither did Fujiwara Kenji. Instead, he looked at the red-haired woman with big waves next to him.

She is plump and tall, with fair skin and long burgundy wavy hair, which makes her stand out from the crowd.

When no one came forward, she picked up a bill and checked it.

After throwing down one book and picking up another, going back and forth several times, she yawned and said,”Is there nothing else?”

“Commissioner Martina, what else is there to see?”

Peter Wennink lowered his posture and asked quickly

He didn’t dare to say no. This woman’s identity was not simple. She was a specialist who came to investigate the 14-nanometer Qingzhou chip.

The 14-nanometer chip developed by Longxing Technology has made the whole world tremble and wonder how it broke through the technological blockade.

Chen Xing and Longxing Technology also made their world debut for the first time

Martina thought for a while and seemed to feel that there was nothing to investigate, so she simply asked:”How much do you know about Chen Xing?”

For large equipment such as photolithography machines, you can check it out by just looking through the basic bill and supply list.

The Dutch ASML company is mainly responsible for assembly, but it does not have the ability to independently produce EUV lithography machines. It is very simple to check.

Both Peter Wennink and Fujiwara Kenji looked at Wang Miao. He was the only one here from the Dragon Kingdom, and he must know Chen Xing best.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Wang Miao didn’t hide anything, and immediately said:”Chen Xing, he is about 27 years old. I don’t know much about him, but eight months ago, he was the president of a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy and had no other options. What are the details? Let Mollenkopf do the talking.”

Martina looked at Mollenkopf, who also told the truth about the sanctions.

After learning about it, she showed a look of amazement and said:”You are telling me that in less than a year, he went from running Longxing Technology Company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, to his current position?”

“Um”

Mollenkopf nodded, and then mentioned it again:”Li Zhenzhen of the Korean Star Group also has some relationship with him.”

“Li Zhenzhen?”

Martina’s pupils flashed with surprise, how could this be related?

According to her understanding, the current market value of Longxing Technology Company is only 5 billion. How can she get in touch with Li Zhenzhen?

Mollenkopf nodded again and explained:”As we all know, Korean M series screens are never supplied to the outside world, but the brilliant X1 mobile phone launch conference just held by Longxing Technology Company used M7 screens, which are better than those used in Apple mobile phones. Customized products are a higher level”

Martina was somewhat interested. It was incredible that a small company that was not even one of the top 500 companies in the world could influence so many business giants and even developed and produced a 14-nanometer canoe chip.

“Hey, do you think it is possible that Korean Star Group is the OEM for Longxing Technology?”

Suddenly, Zhang Miao made a guess

Currently, the top five chip foundries in the world are TSMC, UMC, GlobalFoundries, Korean Star Group and Loongson International.

Among them, TSMC leads the way and is recognized worldwide as a foundry that can produce 14nm chips. The second largest UMC and the third largest GF are a little behind, and are still far away from 14nm, but they are both capable of producing 20nm chips. Already mastered

As for the Korean Star Group in fourth place, it is very controversial.

Because it is not just a chip foundry, it is also a chip design company, and its business is equivalent to Gaotong plus TSMC.

If they go one step further and develop their own EDA software, they will complete the preliminary closed loop from chip design to manufacturing. This is an achievement that the CEOs of semiconductor companies dream of. Unfortunately, no one has been able to complete it yet.

As for the photolithography machine……

That cannot be accomplished by a single company

If Han Xing Group OEMs Qingzhou chips, maybe it can be completed

No one thinks that Loongson International, which is ranked fifth, can OEM 14nm chips. Because a company that has not even completed 20nm chips, isn’t it ridiculous to OEM 14nm chips?

Zhang Miu’s words reminded everyone, and Fujiwara Kender even spoke more bluntly, guessing:”The power behind Longxing Technology Company may be Han Xing Group. Otherwise, in one year, no matter how powerful Chen Xing is, , and it is impossible to turn a loss into a profit”

Seeing that the finger points were pointed at Li Zhenzhen, Peter Wennink also echoed:”And I learned that the baseband chip used in their flagship mobile phone seems to be the KT-001 baseband chip designed by Longxing Technology Company.”

Molenkov suddenly figured it out and said quickly:”That’s right! Li Zhenzhen refused to sanction Longxing Technology with me at the beginning. It seems that Chen Xing has an unusual relationship with Hanxing Group.”

Martina also understood that Chen Xing and Li Zhenzhen, Longxing Technology and Han Xing Group all have an indescribable relationship.

But she was still curious, how did Chen Xing hook up with Li Zhenzhen?

According to their circle, the possibility of the two of them meeting is almost zero, and they shouldn’t meet at all.

but!

She has some clues!

If you want to investigate the 14nm Qingzhou chip, you may want to start with Hanxing Group

“Korean Star Group Li Zhenzhen, Longxing Technology Chen Xing, 14 nanometer chip, KT-001 baseband chip, Star Flash fast charging, so many mysteries to be revealed, it is really exciting”

loadAdv(7,3);

Martina murmured in her heart, her eyes flashed with morbid pleasure, and she licked her red lips with the tip of her tongue.

……

Dragon Kingdom, Hangzhou City

In front of a warehouse in Gongye District, two freight trucks from Shunfeng Express Company transported fully loaded mobile phones to the designated address.

The boss of Xiongtian Studio, Hu Xiong has been waiting for a long time

“Please sign for it and we will arrange for workers to come over and unload the goods immediately.”The driver of Shunfeng Express took out the receipt and said

For large batches of goods with the same address, the express company will arrange for workers to unload the goods. Hu Xiong did not make a fuss. After confirming that the documents were OK, he signed and confirmed:”Okay, you guys, hurry up and try to finish unloading before dark.””

“Well, soon”

After the driver confirmed that the documents were OK, he started calling the Hangzhou headquarters.

After a while

About twenty couriers arrived

One cell phone per person is twenty, and the unloading of 50,000 mobile phones is very fast. In less than three hours, all the mobile phones are unloaded.

“If the boss is satisfied, he can give a positive review on the APP.”When the courier left, he did not forget to ask for praise.

“Well, definitely good reviews”

Hu Xiong didn’t refuse either.

After the couriers left, he looked at the mountain of X1 phones in the warehouse and felt happy.

After finishing this job, he will really have wealth and freedom.

The money he earns is put into the bank, and the interest alone is enough to keep him from working for the rest of his life, and he can still live a life of luxury and wealth.

Will it really go that smoothly?

……

Shencheng Futian District

Longxing Technology Company Headquarters

CEO’s office

When Hu Xiong finished signing, all the sales money for the 50,000 units of the brilliant X1 mobile phone had been received. Chen Xing also knew that the goods were now backlogged in the hands of scalpers.

The scalpers inflated prices and created hunger marketing. They made money, but they harmed the image of Longxing Technology.

No wonder people on the Internet have been scolding them for engaging in hunger marketing. It turns out that it is these scalpers who are causing trouble.

How can we allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed? The scalpers must be killed!

Chen Xing picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Jack Ma on WeChat:”Mr. Ma, the goods have been handed over to scalpers. Please block the second-hand transaction of the brilliant X1 mobile phone.”

In less than two minutes, Jack Ma responded to the message:”No problem, I have already ordered you to go down and check with your store to see if the batch pre-sale function is turned on. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time.”

“Thank you Mr. Ma”

After Chen Xing replied to the message, he came to the company’s marketing department again

Seeing Chen Xing’s arrival, Marketing Manager Yao Nana immediately stepped forward to greet him:”President, do you need to start pre-sales?”

“Um!”

Chen Xing responded and began to direct the work:”In addition to launching the second batch of pre-sales, Weibo must also release the news”

“I see”

Yao Nana immediately got into work

Pre-sale of the brilliant X1 mobile phone, this is the function that Chen Xing discussed with Jack Ma that day

Specifically, users are asked to pay a part of the deposit first, such as three hundred yuan, and Longxing Technology Company will guarantee that they can purchase the brilliant X1 mobile phone at a discounted price.

To put it bluntly, it is a real estate model. Pre-sales are equivalent to off-plan houses. Buying off-plan houses will be tens of thousands yuan cheaper than finished houses.

As for the pre-sale price, Chen Xing can buy a brilliant X1 regular version for a further 500 yuan on top of 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 5,499, but it will take a while.

After the pre-sale started, Yao Nana also started to smear the business

Weibo platform

Longxing Technology Company official blog

[Important notice: According to reports from insiders, criminals have recently counterfeited the brilliant X1 mobile phone and passed it off as inferior. Our company has noticed the relevant situation and is actively cooperating with the police investigation. If you encounter the brilliant X1 mobile phone being sold at a low price, please do not be fooled. Please look for official channels when purchasing, the second batch of pre-sales has started!]

With the appearance of the official announcement, it instantly aroused heated discussions on the Internet

[Street boy Baccarat]：”Damn it! How many days has it been? Counterfeit and shoddy products are out! It’s really a shame that he’s a DJ!”

[The rising sun]：”I almost got fooled. I just saw a second-hand website listing the brilliant X1 phone. The price is damn expensive. The regular version costs 8,000 yuan, and the top-end version costs over 10,000 yuan. All of them have been taken off the shelves now.”

[Kong Yu Wang Wang]：”Eight thousand? It’s only over 5,000 from the official channel. What does this horse think? Do you really think we are leeks?”

[blue clouds]：”Fortunately, the official announcement of Longxing Technology was released quickly. Otherwise, with my IQ, I would have bought it. I am so greedy for the brilliant X1 mobile phone, woo woo woo”

When comments were posted one after another, Yao Nana contacted Weibo officials and purchased two million exposures.

less than half an hour

[The entry for”Counterfeit X1 mobile phone” topped the hot search list

After reading the hot search, tens of millions of people also learned that a batch of copycat machines had entered the market, and they all became more vigilant.

……

at the same time

In the Xihu District of Hangzhou, in the villa of Xiongtian Studio, Hu Xiong was completely panicked, and so were the ten traders.

“Brother Xiong, the second-hand website has blocked our account, and the new account is useless. The brilliant X1 mobile phone cannot be put on the shelves at all!”

“Something happened. Zouzaou Secondhand.com locked our IP and we can’t log in. We seem to be targeted!”

“Second-hand forums are no longer working, what should I do now?”

“Xiong…Brother Xiong, hot search on Weibo, Longxing Technology Company officially said that we are a copycat phone, and asked users not to buy it!”

“Taowu.com has started its second round of pre-sales. The platform subsidizes 1,500 yuan and the price is only 5,499, which is far lower than our purchase price!”

“male……”

“Plop——”

Hu Xiong’s feet gave way and he collapsed directly to the ground. His eyes were full of despair and helplessness, and he was not as high-spirited as a few hours ago.

Sales channels are closed

The price advantage is gone

Attacked from both sides, he is destined to be defeated.

Only now did he suddenly realize that compared with Longxing Technology Company, Xiongtian Studio was simply a small piece of cake trying to shake a big tree, not overestimating its capabilities.

Others are creating value, but they are just speculating.

Maybe people didn’t notice it before, but this time they suddenly sold 50,000 units per second, disrupting Longxing Technology’s collection of market feedback. This really angered that man.

“Gone…”

“nothing left……”
