The rise of nanometers

December 15th.

Silicon Valley, California.

A large number of reporters surrounded a press conference.

The scene was crowded with people, and many business representatives from semiconductor companies were discussing the topic lively.

Suddenly, a Cadillac stopped at the entrance of the press conference, and a large number of reporters rushed past like sharks smelling blood.

"Hello, Mr. Liu! May I ask..."

"Excuse me, is there any insider trading in this acquisition?"

"Mr. Liu, this is BBC..."

"Fake! My feet!"

Under the escort of bodyguards, Liu Hongyi entered the backstage of the press conference and met Intel President Paul, IBM President Pami, GlobalFoundries President Tom, ASML President Peter Wen and others.

With a smile on his face, Liu Hongyi immediately shook hands with Pammy and others.

"Thank you very much for your trust, I'm deeply honored."

Paul smiled dryly and said, "Liu, happy to cooperate."

If it weren't for dealing with the Suiren clan, they would never cooperate with Liu Hongyi. However, after much deliberation, they found that only Liang Xiang was the most suitable, or that Liu Hongyi was the most suitable person.

Soon it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Paul, Liu Hongyi and others appeared at the press conference together, and the flash lights at the scene suddenly flashed.

As Intel who led this meeting, Paul personally stood on the podium: "Gentlemen and ladies, I am announcing the biggest news today. We are cooperating with Liangxiang Huaguo Company to build a chip industrial park located in Suzhou, China. , providing the most advanced electronic products to Chinese enterprises and consumers."

There was an uproar.

The BBC reporter stood up and asked loudly: "President Paul, how many nanometers does the technology of this chip industrial park reach?"

"40 nanometers! This will be the most advanced chip manufacturing process in the world." Paul responded boldly.

In fact, the 32-nanometer process they developed has almost reached a mature stage, and they have even begun preparations for a 22-nanometer level process.

A reporter from Deutsche Mirror followed closely: "President Paul, is this sudden cooperation to deal with Suiren's textile chips?"

"NO, how is this possible? Our cooperation plan with Liangxiang Company actually started secret negotiations two years ago, and then we formally reached an agreement after Liu returned to Liangxiang Company." Paul replied without changing his expression.

The reporter from Fox News immediately asked: "If such advanced technology is invested in China, is there a risk of technology leakage?"

Paul smiled and replied: "I don't think this is a big deal. After all, TSMC and Samsung also have advanced chip manufacturing technology. We should embrace the world and actively face competition."

Haha... None of the reporters present was a human being. They didn't believe Paul's lies at all.

A lot of questions were asked and answered next.

Including the specific situation of the chip industrial park.

According to the content of the cooperation memorandum between the two parties, Liangxiang Company invested 3 billion yuan, Hony Capital invested 3 billion yuan, and then Intel, IBM, Texas Instruments, Nvidia, Samsung, and ASML invested 4 billion together.

In terms of shareholding, Liangxiang Company accounts for 22%, Hony Capital accounts for 22%, and the remaining 56% is occupied by companies such as Intel.

The name of this chip company is "Oriental Chip Manufacturing Group". According to the cooperation plan, Oriental Chip will become a large-scale chip manufacturing company no less than TSMC.

In addition, Intel and Qualcomm will help Liangxiang establish a chip design company, also using a joint venture, to become a chip design company similar to Qualcomm.

Then the president of ASML came to the stage to speak, saying that they would sell 12 state-of-the-art lithography machines to Oriental Chip.

Other companies including Tokyo Electronics, Applied Materials, and Ram have also announced sales cooperation for semiconductor equipment.

As if overnight, the Western semiconductor industry opened its door to China.

Under the criticism of reporters, Liu Hongyi had never been so happy. He announced with high spirits that he would build an Eastern Silicon Valley.

The news media controlled by big capital also produced press releases one after another with praise.

[This is the greatness of the free market. ]——CNN

[Why Eastern chips? Not Western chips?]——BBC

[The industry generally believes that the current semiconductor technology standards and development potential can lead all mankind into the era of intelligence. ]——Wall Street Journal

[Technology and market, or we can only choose one or the other. ]——Fox News

[Paul Otellini is a great technology promoter. ]——Times Magazine

This news spread back to China and immediately caused an uproar. Big Vs who had received a large amount of dog food in advance expressed their "insights and insights."

Even on the Time Blog, there are quite a few people who are setting the pace, writing soft articles, and conducting intensive information bombing and public relations.

In Shanmei City, Huang Xiuyuan has just discussed the cooperation of the chip production line with Datang Group, and Huang Xiuyuan has not yet entered the office.

"Mr. Huang, it's an emergency." Zhang Lei ran over panting.

Huang Xiuyuan hung up his coat and said, "What happened?"

"Intel and Liangxiang announced a cooperation to establish Oriental Chip and build a factory in Suzhou." Zhang Lei said briefly.

Huang Xiuyuan paused, then shook his head: "Let him go! It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married."

Suddenly his phone rang, and it turned out to be Mr. Ren.

"Hey, Mr. Ren, what about the Oriental chip?"

"It seems that you know that the person who came here is evil!"

Huang Xiuyuan smiled: "I have never taken Liang Xiang seriously. Regardless of whether it is an Eastern chip or a Western chip, Suiren Company's strategic pace will not stop. Since they have chosen to become enemies, don't blame me for crushing them."

"As long as you have confidence, if you, the leader of the martial arts alliance, don't have confidence, other companies will not be able to support this business."

"It's just a little Trojan horse trick, and some people will always fall for it."

"I will definitely support you here."

"Take your time. Now that the stage is set, we will accompany you until the end."

After hanging up the phone, bosses from other companies also called to discuss how to deal with Oriental Chip.

Being poured cold water on this news, the popularity of the semiconductor industry seminar in Shanmei City has dropped significantly.

Domestic public opinion is divided into two views.

One view is that there is no need to develop an independent chip system. They believe that this cost is too high and is out of touch with world semiconductor technology, which is not conducive to economic globalization and international trade.

Another view is to support Suiren Company in developing an independent chip system, believing that independent technology is conducive to industrial security.

Supporters of these two views clashed fiercely on domestic social forums and blogs.

And the well-known Vs who hold dog food write soft articles for their foreign fathers. Anyway, Paul Otellini, the president of Intel, is about to become a great sage who would be like the eternal night if God had not created me.

Suiren Company dismissed the voices from the Internet and continued to advance its strategic plan step by step.

The chip industrial park that Liang wanted to set up in Suzhou is also accelerating, acquiring large tracts of land and starting preparations for building a factory.

Both sides are working on their own plans.

With the support of Western semiconductor companies, Yang Yuanqing in China has been secretly contacting other related domestic companies, hoping to establish his own industrial alliance and exclude Suiren Company.

Some people stand firm, while others naturally run away.

Huang Xiuyuan arranged the work in Shanmei and went north to Shandong Province again.

Thank you for your support (ω｀), and thank you to book friends "*GGQ*" and "Taoist Yuming" for their rewards!

Fifth update (￣y▽￣)~* covered her mouth and snickered. Tomorrow's updates will focus on midday, late afternoon and evening.
