Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

"On the surface, it seems that it has nothing to do with TSMC, but the central international of Universal Technology will threaten your TSMC status sooner or later."

"This is our business, and you don't need to worry about Microsoft."

Bill knows the situation on TSMC's side.

Similarly, Zhang Zhongmou also has a clear understanding of Microsoft.

Microsoft naturally wants to pull their TSMC into the water.

Although Zhang Zhongmou also wanted to destroy Huanyu Technology, Zhang Zhongmou knew better.

If TSMC goes into the water, it will be difficult to go ashore in the future.

TSMC is in Taiwan City.

Although Universal Technology is Universal Technology, he represents the mainland.

Taiwan's economy is very dependent on the mainland in all aspects. Zhang Zhongmou couldn't make this decision before he thought it through.

of course.

If it was a normal commercial competition, Zhang Zhongmou would never hesitate.

But the problem is.

This is no longer a normal commercial competition.

This sudden announcement of the cessation of cooperation will plant a fatal bane for TSMC in the future.

"It seems that Mr. Zhongmou didn't think about it well. It's okay. You can think about it for a few more days. However, I suggest that you don't think about it for too long."

"What do you mean?"

"This time I came here to represent not only our Microsoft, but also..."

Having said that, Bill didn't go on.

But Zhang Zhongmou's face changed drastically.

If it is just the behavior of some commercial companies such as Microsoft and Intel, it is considered a ban. Although it is a bit shameless, it makes sense.

but.

If it's not just what Microsoft and Intel mean, but there are forces behind them supporting them...

Zhang Zhongmou closed his eyes, he didn't dare to think further.

As global technology giants, Microsoft and Intel are themselves big forces.

And who is more powerful than them, who can you imagine?

……

"Mr. Chen, the two major PC manufacturers, Dell and HP, have launched a business of recycling keyboards, cases, and mice."

"Fortunately, they can think of such an operation, and it is difficult for them."

"They also have no choice. However, judging from the recent feedback on the recycling effect, the data is not ideal. One is that many second-hand parts are too old and have no value for recycling. The other is that they need to establish a comparison A large-scale foundry base will take time. However, we have to guard against this.”

"It's useless to defend. These things have no technical content. As long as they don't make money, we can't do anything about them. Now it depends on who can survive to the end."

At the Huanyu Technology headquarters, Zhang Jianming reported to Chen Yu the recent situation on the side of the Microsoft camp.

"There is also Acer and ASUS in Taiwan. They have not agreed to all of our cooperation plans for the time being, and only increased their business by 3%. It is said that Bill from Microsoft went to Taiwan in person and met with Mr. Shi."

"It's pretty good to be able to increase by 3%. It has nothing to do with whether Bill sees Mr. Shi."

Chen Yu was not surprised by this.

Although his relationship with Mr. Shi is not bad, and Mr. Shi is also the first international PC manufacturer to support their Universal system and C4 processor.However, after all, they are also a commercial company. In order to survive, it is impossible for them to bet all their hopes on Huanyu Technology.Even though what Chen Yu said before made sense, they had to consider things other than the market.

"That's true. Mr. Shi has been more cautious all his life, and it's impossible for us to force him to stand in line."

"Anyway, we still have to thank Mr. Shi."

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will go to Taishi personally in a few days."

"That's good."

"President Chen, there is one more thing."

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Jianming didn't know whether to say it or not.

"what's up?"

"It is said that when Bill went to Taiwan this time, he not only met Mr. Shi, but also Zhang Zhongmou."

"TSMC."

Chen Yu said seriously.

"Yes."

Zhang Jianming knew the seriousness of the problem, and continued: "Many of our high-end chips are manufactured by TSMC. Once TSMC attacks us."

"Do you think it's possible?"

"With the strength of Microsoft, TSMC doesn't need to bother. Although Zhang Zhongmou is our competitor, he has only been engaged in chip foundry for decades and has never done other businesses. He is not a person who easily takes sides. But ..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I mean, if the forces behind Microsoft support it..."

"I see."

Chen Yu nodded.

Since the fight with Microsoft, Chen Yu has already known that this has gone beyond the competition between commercial companies.

In fact.

At the beginning of PK, Chen Yu already knew that it would be like this.

otherwise.

Microsoft dare to make such a ban casually?

just.

In the previous life, Chen Yu knew that TSMC would make a move. How could Chen Yu have no back-up in this life.

"Brother Jian, let's go, let's go to Center International."

"Center International?"

Zhang Jianming didn't know what Chen Yu said to go to the center international.

Although Center International has a chip foundry business, the foundry products are all low-end chips.

Even going to Central International is of no use.

But seeing Chen Yu's extremely calm expression, Zhang Jianming asked, "Mr. Chen, you mean, our lithography machine..."

Chapter 1182: A new era is coming

"Mr. Chen, this is the immersion lithography machine we developed. This lithography machine breaks the traditional theory of dry lithography, and uses wet lithography with water as the medium, which greatly improves the process. Although our current process level is around 100nm, we can enter the 65nm routine at any time."

"That is to say, once our immersion lithography machine is launched, our technical level will be comparable to that of ASML. At the same time, we can also produce the most top-notch chips."

Lin Benjian excitedly introduced a secret research base to Chen Yu.

"good very good."

Looking at the lithography machine in front of him, Chen Yu was also a little excited.

In the previous life, Chinese people did not know how long they had struggled for such a lithography machine.

of course.

This is not to say that people in the previous life could not make lithography machines.

In fact, Chinese people have mastered the lithography machine technology, but it is not so easy to make a lithography machine that reaches the world's top manufacturing process.

As of 2021, the most advanced photolithography process in China in the previous life has only reached 90 nanometers.

But asml has reached 5 nanometers, 3 nanometers, and even marched in the direction of 2 nanometers.

This is a gap of several tens of times.

There is also a gap of several generations.

It may take 100 years to catch up with such a gap.

fortunately.

Long before, Chen Yu poached Lin Benjian from TSMC.

With the help of his wet lithography theory, the world's first immersion lithography machine was born.

"Mr. Chen, this lithography machine is not our most advanced. With the support of wet lithography theory, our process can be greatly improved in the future. At present, the world's highest process level is 65 nanometers, which is already It’s hard to get any better. But we’re just getting started, and in the future we’ll be at 45nm, 28nm, 20nm, 10nm, and even 7nm…”

When it comes to technology, Lin Benjian is eloquent.

For him, being able to realize his theory is the most exciting thing.

And he knows that once their lithography machine is launched, he will change the process of global chips, and even change the pattern of the global semiconductor industry.

"Mr. Lin, you have worked hard."

Chen Yu held Lin Benjian's right hand with both hands: "You are always ready."

"Yes, Mr. Chen, always be ready."

……

"Mr. Chen, our wet lithography machine was actually developed unexpectedly. However, Mr. Chen, it is hard for you to hide this from me."

"I don't want to hide it from you, but this kind of matter is very important. No one knows except Zhang Rujing and I from Center International. And, if I want, I don't want our lithography machine to be launched so quickly. At least, now It's not a particularly good time."

"Mr. Chen, I understand what you mean."

For Huanyu Technology, Zhang Jianming is the one who understands the company's situation best besides Chen Yu.

If Huanyu Technology can be given a few more years to develop, many things may be solved easily.

At this time, a group of giants with Microsoft as the camp attacked Universal Technology. Although Universal Technology was not afraid, the damage was not small.

Fortunately.

Huanyu Technology had expected this step a long time ago, and everything was prepared.

……

"Mr. Zhang, do you think TSMC will join the Microsoft camp?"

After Chen Yu left, Lin Benjian asked Zhang Rujing.

"Ben Jian, you have been at TSMC for so long, you should know Zhang Zhongmou better than me, why did you ask me?"

"Mr. Zhang, I'm just a technical person. Although I've been in TSMC for a long time, I really can't understand Mr. Zhongmou."

"It's true, let alone you, I was almost killed by him."

Zhang Rujing said mockingly.

At that time, he was Zhang Zhongmou's subordinate at Texas Instruments. Later, he returned to Taiwan to start a business, was acquired by TSMC, and then became Zhang Zhongmou's subordinate.

Fortunately, he came to the mainland in a fit of anger and founded Center International.

Although Center International is still not as good as TSMC, these years are the happiest time for him.

The domestic market is so big, and there are giants like Huanyu Technology behind it to support it. It can be said that the future prospects are extremely bright.

"Ben Jian, it seems that you are very conflicted, what do you think?"

"I...don't know."

Lin Benjian shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Chen invited me to join Universal Technology, and I just want to realize my wet theory wholeheartedly."

"Now it's realized, isn't it great?"

"Yes, this is indeed the realization of my ideal. But, when I think about the current situation, I actually don't want to see it."

"It's not just that you don't want to see it, President Chen doesn't want to see it."

Zhang Rujing also sighed: "I have talked with Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen insists on global integration. This is not only good for Huanyu Technology, but also for the world. However, sometimes, some people, some Forces, sometimes for their own benefit, there will be anti-globalization operations, which cannot be determined by individual will. But it also just proves that the global pattern is about to change. "
