Chapter 388 Let's negotiate
In the heart of Silicon Valley, a bar called Don Quixote.
Mr. Swan, president of Intel Group, was depressed and drinking whiskey with ice. He kept sighing and his face was very gloomy.
Just overnight, the semiconductor alliance fell into unprecedented panic. The reason why the alliance was established was to encircle and suppress China. However, things have completely lost control to this day, and it is impossible to tell who is encircling and suppressing whom.
The fourth generation lithography machine, large-scale graphene preparation technology, these black technologies are enough to change the entire world and far exceed the limits that the Western scientific community can imagine.
Judging from the current situation, if you continue to fight to the death, both sides will inevitably suffer losses. In front of the major giants, it seems that there is only the path of cooperation negotiations. After all, semiconductors are too important and a war where no one can afford to lose.
"It feels so embarrassing." President Swan drank the wine in his glass and muttered in annoyance: "We set up an alliance to block China's semiconductor industry, but as a result, those Chinese people's technology is one million times better than ours! They are blocking others, and they are almost the same if they don't take us to play!"
"It's indeed a bit funny. Star Technology's rapid progress in the semiconductor field has turned us into a jumping clown."
Peter Winko echoed that the president of the Asml Group had a harder life. Swan suggested having two drinks, which was exactly what he wanted, so the two came to the bar together.
"We are afraid of comparison between people. In the whole West, only Asml can build top-level lithography machines. Now Xingchen Technology has launched a fourth-generation lithography system, which has caused everyone to stare at us and want to know if we have the ability to build a fourth-generation machine."
"The conscience of heaven and earth, if we could make the fourth generation of machines, we would have done it long ago! We still have to wait until today!?" Peter Wenko swears regardless of his image, his eyes like an animal being forced into a dead corner.
"Hey, it's not easy for everyone. Come on, we have had this cup and we will stop drunk tonight!"
"Look over there, it seems to be the old Huang of Nvidia. He is drinking alone in the corner. Why don't we call him?"
"Forget it, Lao Huang is a Chinese. Seeing China rising day by day, he feels even more uncomfortable. Don't disturb him, let him calm down."
"That's right. Everyone relax tonight. We will go to negotiate with Xingchen Technology tomorrow morning."
"Those damn Chinese people, have they only been playing semiconductors for a few years? What qualifications are they to negotiate with us? I'm really unwilling to accept it."
"Don't think too much about it now. Let's reach an agreement as soon as possible. Let's make money together in the future. Xingchen Technology only has manufacturing technology and lacks underlying hardware patents. This is their biggest shortcoming. If the Core CPU is handed over to them for OEM, those guys will definitely be crazy happy."
"Haha, the Chinese have never seen advanced hardware and algorithms. Letting them be responsible for OEM is simply to polite them."
"In the future, let's develop as usual. As a factory, Huaxia is responsible for manufacturing. The semiconductor design and R&D ends are still under our control."
"Hahahaha, it makes sense. In this world, intellectual property is the most valuable existence. I don't believe that Chinese people can still get out of the pit of x86 and arm? Start a new job and get a new set of chip standards? It's impossible, absolutely impossible, and they can't do it even if they are exhausted!"
"Don't worry, we who master the industry standards will never lose, we can only make a few dollars."
As the night gradually deepened, Swan and Peter Winko, two world-renowned IT giants, drank a lot and said a lot.
It has to be admitted that in the field of semiconductors, the West has always been very confident because the underlying hardware architecture and standards have always been mastered by the West.
The underlying hardware architecture is like the laws of a country. Everyone must obey. No matter how strong the lithography machine of Xingchen Technology is, it cannot escape the control of x86. No matter how awesome the Kirin processor of Huawei is, it will eventually use the IP of the Arm Group.
"Long live Anglo-Saxon! The rules of the game were invented!" President Swan drank a little. He red eyes and clenched his fists and roared: "As long as the Chinese still want to continue playing, they must obey our rules!"
"Don't they love reading Journey to the West? Then they should understand that Monkey King will never escape the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata!"
...
In this society with overdeveloped information, dissemination is always extremely fast.
Just three days later, the news that the Semiconductor Alliance decided to go to East Asia and held formal talks with Huaxia Technology, led by Star Technology, had spread throughout every corner of the world.
The people who are used to showing off their power in the Western world generally feel humiliated. After all, the reason why the semiconductor alliance was established was to kill Xingchen Technology.
To this day, Star Technology has not only not been killed, but has become stronger, forcing the semiconductor alliance to make concessions and take the initiative to propose negotiations to resolve the dispute. How can this make people feel sorry for?
In the business world, it is important that who proposes negotiation first, because the strong side rarely takes the initiative to make concessions. The West proposes negotiations, which was immediately interpreted by global media as weakness and panic.
The Chinese melon-eating crowd were excited about this. Intel, Qualcomm, Microsoft, ibm, and global technology giants all sent representatives to China for negotiations, which made everyone feel very proud.
In the past days, these technology giants have always regarded themselves very well, and have often suppressed and banned Chinese companies, or have the responsibility of Chinese companies to steal intellectual property rights. Their faces are really not very good-looking. Seeing these companies being defeated has really made the Chinese people excited.
"Xingchen Technology is awesome! It forced the global technology giant to the negotiating table!"
"What does it mean? It's obviously a great victory. With the fourth generation of lithography machines and graphene technology, Star Technology has become the world's only one. In the new division of interests, Chinese companies can get at least 30%!"
"Thirty percent is too small, so you have to divide it into 40%. After all, these two major inventions will bring the chip manufacturing industry into the next generation and start the picometer-level process."
"Speaking of this, Xingchen Technology's chip manufacturing plan is indeed very awesome, but unfortunately, the semiconductor industry is too big, with a revenue of several trillion US dollars per year, which is only a little less than the automotive industry. Lithography and wafer technology alone are far from enough. We still lack assembly language, machine code, and semiconductor architecture like x86. There are so many things we lack."
"The upstairs solution is the only way to win 30% of the semiconductor industry. After all, we didn't even have a total of 10% in the past."
Huaxia technology enthusiasts generally believe that the agreement must be signed, after all, mutual sanctions are very harmful to one's vitality. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity today to gain some market share first and trade technology for peace.
Only in a peaceful environment can science and technology develop better. In China, Star Technology has become a great master. After a few years of despicable development, it will definitely be able to produce more black technology. It will not be too late to fight a second science and technology war.
And don’t forget that there is Xingchen University. In a few years, the geniuses of Xingchen University will also take up R&D positions and become the new scientific research force. Their future is destined to be limitless.
People who are good at observing should have discovered an amazing phenomenon long ago. In Western society, the older the grade, the more polite and the higher the quality.
However, Chinese society is just the opposite. Middle-aged and elderly people often have lower quality, while young people are better than the next generation, and their knowledge and quality are rising rapidly.
There has never been a nation in the world who is poor and destitute because of the importance of education for young people. China's confidence lies in the historic transcendence of the younger generation.
If a young man is strong, China is strong. Look at the number of Chinese students who are admitted to the world's top universities every year, you will understand that the future has come. The younger generation of China has surpassed North America in terms of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. When these young Chinese people enter society and become the main force of society, the cultural environment of China should undergo a great improvement.
"I am very willing to negotiate. For this reason, I have appointed one of the four super presidents of the company, the full head of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, the entrepreneurial veteran of Xingchen Technology Group, Mr. Hong Tao, and together with Hua as the company's president Yu Chengdong, to receive VIPs from the opposite side of the Pacific!"
In the weekly live interview program, Luo Jia swore that she seemed to attach great importance to the negotiation.
However, insiders who are familiar with Xingchen Technology are puzzled and incredible about Luo Jia's personnel appointment. Hong Tao of Xingchen Technology and Yu Chengdong of Hua Wei are all super-talkable gods.
Hong Tao was born in the Beijing Courtyard, what kind of world has never been seen before?
Qimen Dunjia, three religions and all kinds of things, can’t be finished in any random topic for three days and three nights. It is precisely because of this characteristic that Hong Tao is responsible for the Ministry of Commerce, specifically responsible for arguing with those cunning businessmen.
As for Yu Chengdong, the nickname of this person is Yu Dazui, okay?
In such an important negotiation, the first person to talk to Shen Hongtao and Hua Wei's first person Yu Chengdong. They worked together. What is the situation?
