...

Today, the domestic media people are crazy, and even the whole people are excited about it, and the east of the world is boiling.

The news of the Zixing lithography machine is really overwhelming. Even if some people who don't pay attention to science and technology news at all have learned about this matter, there is something that is not very clear, but it seems to be an incredible thing. Things, everyone is talking about.

The key word at the top of the hot search entries on major online social platforms is "Purple Star Lithography Machine".

"Mom, is this news true or false? Can someone explain that the Zixing lithography machine is really more powerful than the ASML one?"

"The official announcement of the Cote d'Azur company, such a large group, will not make fake news to entertain everyone, it must be true."

"Go to Bluestar to watch the video and search for 'Purple Star Lithography Machine', and there are detailed rules for the disclosure of the promotional video."

"The Archbishop is cheating (broken voice)!"

"When I wake up, I feel that the world has changed. The domestic lithography machine equipment has quietly broken the monopoly, and even overwhelmed ASML's most advanced lithography machine in extreme ultraviolet lithography. This is what I know. the world?"

"Let me tell you the news. The big media in Europe and the United States have lost their voices. Only some media with little influence are reporting this matter, and those influential media are reporting the news of the Eagle Sauce election, as if they don't know. of."

"Jenima is so cool EB, it's not too exciting to talk about the news early in the morning."

"Haha, ASML is probably stupid when they see this news."

"It's not just ASML, Eagle sauce is probably dumbfounded.

"

"No wonder the archbishop is not in a hurry at all, no wonder the Cote d'Azur is as stable as an old dog. It turned out that he had made such a big move, and he really didn't talk much."

"Looking forward to the follow-up, this Nima is more bloody than watching bloody comics, and the real story is the most exciting."

...

When the old international semiconductor manufacturers heard the news, they were indeed collectively dumbfounded. Although the European and American media collectively lost their voices, the discussion on the Reddit forum was really hot.

But the stock market doesn't pretend to be asleep like the media.

In terms of U.S. stocks, the Nasdaq Composite Index closed down 1.81% that day, the largest one-day drop in nearly three months, dragged down by the semiconductor sector leading the decline.

North American semiconductor giants such as Intel, Xilinx, and Qualcomm have all suffered to varying degrees. The market value of 91.4 billion US dollars, fell below the 100 billion US dollars mark, and the market value evaporated 35.5 billion US dollars in one day.

It could be said that it was a bloodbath at the beginning.

The advent of the Zixing lithography machine means that ASML's absolute monopoly in the field of lithography equipment has become history, and it is no longer the only choice in the market. What is even worse is that the manufacturers who broke this situation are still from China.

In sharp contrast, the market value of Bluestar Technology Group rose sharply that day, returning to the $1 trillion mark again.

The Purple Star lithography machine seems to have nothing to do with Bluestar Technology, but investors don't think so, because Bluestar Technology is also a core part of Luo Sheng's huge business and technology empire.

The news that broke out this time fully reflects the strong vitality of Luo Sheng and his company. It's been a bargain early on.

This series of incentives led to a sharp rise in the market value of Bluestar Technology. As a result, the only two listed companies in the world with a market value exceeding $1 trillion are both from the same founder.

This scene is simply picturesque.

...

It was night, and the lights in the CEO's office of ASML were still on, and its head Pete Wernick was watching the live video from the Eastern Hemisphere.

At the same time, the eastern hemisphere is now at around 9:00 in the morning, and the press reception hall in the headquarters of the Cote d'Azur headquarters is already full. There are more than 600 or 700 reporters from domestic and foreign media organizations, and more than 1,000 people attended the meeting. , The usual press conferences are like more than 200 media organizations.

It can be seen that the exposure of the Zixing lithography machine has caused a huge sensation in the outside world, and it also shows that people pay attention to technology semiconductors.

"Thank you for the speaker, and the reporter of "Global Media" for the question. May I ask Mr. Yao, does the breakthrough of the Zixing lithography machine mean that the entire domestic semiconductor industry chain has been successfully built, and whether the chips of the Côte d'Azur have completed the de-North Americanization? Thank you."

The reporter's question is very simple, and it can be said that it is the question that is most concerned by the outside world at present, and everyone is waiting for the answer.

At this moment, the camera's light was flashing in the hall all the time, and the camera shutter sound never stopped. The person who hosted the press conference was Yao Jianhong, the second-ranked person in the Côte d'Azur after Luo Sheng. currently.

Yao Jianhong said with a faint smile: "The two are not in conflict. The Cote d'Azur walks on two legs. In the past, self-developed legs were not very beneficial. Now it can be said that it is basically cured. It was established eleven years ago, when the Cote d'Azur was founded, and it has never wavered."

"In the past 11 years, we have invested more than 3.35 trillion yuan in capital alone for the independent semiconductor industry chain plan, and participated in more than 2,000 affiliated enterprise partners. This is in the history of the development of the integrated circuit field in the whole world. It's all unprecedented."

"Today, I can clearly say here that we can make the highest-end chips even without cooperating with any international manufacturer, that is to say, from the front-end industrial software to the IC design, manufacturing, power devices, Basically, all technical pain points have been solved on the material and equipment side.”

Not just Zixing lithography equipment?

Just after Yao Jianhong's speech ended, there was an incredible exclamation from the audience. I thought that the Zixing lithography machine was a super material, but I didn't expect an even bigger surprise.

There are too many people watching this press conference live. The major international semiconductor manufacturers are paying attention when they are not sleeping, and it is impossible to sleep peacefully on this matter.

Only Yao Jianhong knows that there are still 60% of the links that are still being conquered, but the birth of the Zixing lithography machine, its light is enough to cover up these, no one doubts what he said, or dares to test even if he doubts.

I can't afford to lose.

"Thank you for the speaker, the reporter of "Science and Technology Weekly" asked the question. Recent media reports show that the order of the Côte d'Azur company in the production of electricity was forced to be interrupted. Will this affect the normal operation of the major businesses of the Côte d'Azur company? In the case of electricity orders, will Cote d'Azur products face a vacuum period of market supply? The whole domestic semiconductor industry chain plan has been opened, so when will domestic high-end chips be able to achieve mass production? Thank you."

After the reporter asked questions, they did it.

Yao Jianhong didn't hesitate, and answered this question quickly with a smile as always.

"As early as ten years ago, our company discussed this issue internally, and we also did deductions in extreme cases. Frankly speaking, what happened recently is not surprising to our team, because we have deduced similar It's not even the most extreme scenario we envision."

Still not the most extreme case envisaged?

This……

People in the semiconductor industry who are following the live broadcast are also impressed by Yao Jianhong's words. Is this the vision of the Côte d'Azur? It's been terrifying since it started 10 years ago.

No wonder it will achieve today's brilliant situation.

If someone may have questioned Yao Jianhong's words before, but not now, the Zixing lithography machine has come out, and the actual investment of 3.35 trillion yuan cannot be erased.

Yao Jianhong continued to reply: "Generally speaking, Cote d'Azur is preparing for this day for ten years, and Xiongxin Electronics expects to get the first EUV Purple Star lithography equipment for delivery as soon as the end of 2016. It is expected that mass production can be achieved in the mid-2017 stage, but the specific situation depends on the news from Xiongxin Electronics, and the relevant news please refer to the news of Xiongxin Electronics CEO Ms. Liu Yixuan. "

After a pause, he continued to add: "As for the major terminal businesses of the Côte d'Azur, we have already made sufficient preparations in terms of inventory. It is not a problem for the chips in the inventory to continue to be used for a year and a half."

Everything is arranged clearly.

Everyone can see the unprecedented self-confidence from Yao Jianhong's speech and behavior. This is the difference between having confidence and lack of confidence. Even if the confidence is elegant and easy-going, it gives people a domineering feeling.

Cote d'Azur has long been ridiculed by the majority of netizens who eat melons as a company that says the most easy-going words and does the most ruthless things.

"Thank you for the speaker, "Guardian" reporter Lewis Walker reporter asked Mr. Yao, ASML's EUV lithography machine is rumored to be sold for more than 100 million US dollars, and the mass-produced EUV purple star lithography machine on the Cote d'Azur has been established Is the selling price? If so, what is the selling price? What is the annual output? Do you supply global semiconductor manufacturers? Thank you.”

The reporter who asked the question this time was a foreigner. He asked the question in a not very fluent Chinese. Because it was not smooth, he spoke a little slowly, which made people anxious, but everyone could still understand what he said. .

Everyone looked at Yao Jianhong in unison, only to see him bowing his head and being silent for a moment. After a while, he raised his head and looked around at the audience in the media industry. He unconsciously showed an intriguing smile and bought another pass.

This made the reporters off the field anxious to death, especially the international competitors who were silently watching the press conference.

You say it, Madfaq!

At the end, Yao Jianhong said in an orderly manner: "There is no doubt that the Zixing lithography opportunity born from the Cote d'Azur laboratory is available to manufacturers all over the world, and we welcome them to come and place orders."

At this moment, ASML head Pete Wernick, who was watching the live broadcast of the press conference, was hit for the first time.

Yao Jianhong: "About production capacity, production capacity is not a problem, we can supply as much as the market demand is, and the amount of production capacity depends on the customer's order volume. In other words, as much as you want, we can provide you as much, but Place a purchase order in advance."

Pete Wernick suffers a second critical hit.

"About the price of the Zixing lithography machine..." When he said this, Yao Jianhong once again sold out, and everyone was scratching his head. "It's half the price of $100 million and then half... How about a set of $25 million?"

A needle drop could be heard in the audience, followed by an uproar.

What he said is called a light cloud, and a media person who is engaged in technology-related reports off the field said sharply: "Tsk tsk tsk, this is the rhythm of ASML's death. Kill it, and don't hide it."

His partner listened and whispered: "I believe that the Cote d'Azur has the heart to completely kill ASML, I absolutely believe this, but the Zixing lithography machine should not really be sold for 25 million dollars, most of it is Yao Jianhong smoke bombs."

"How to say?"

"It was originally going to be three inches, but I called five inches. At that time, I would take two inches back and still have three inches. This is the traditional art of our nation. The Zixing lithography machine really sells for 25 million US dollars, and ASML does not sell it. It will take two years to declare bankruptcy and liquidation, anyway, I think this is a smoke bomb, maybe the big bosses have already started to negotiate, and this is to create bargaining chips for the negotiation.”

"The analysis makes sense. But then again, the market for lithography equipment is so big, but the technology is very critical. Like EDA software, the market for industrial software is smaller, so even if the Zixing lithography machine sells for 100 million US dollars, Even if it monopolizes the global market share of lithography equipment, the annual revenue will only be more than ten billion US dollars."

"Oh, co-authoring more than 10 billion US dollars is only 10 or 20 billion US dollars for you?"

"I'm not looking at it from the standpoint of the giant of the Côte d'Azur. Think about the Côte d'Azur's revenue of nearly 250 billion US dollars last year. In the eyes of the Archbishop, the Purple Star lithography machine is at best a marginal business. Make money with mobile phones? Can you make money with games consoles and ieP tablets?"

"I can't seem to refute you when you say that."

At the same time, Peter Wernick, who was far away in Europe, suffered a third crit injury, and he finally couldn't bear it.

"enough!!!!"

Pete Wernick angrily unplugged the power cord on the spot. If it weren't for the critical data and reason left in the computer, he would have to replace it with a new set of hardware tomorrow.

At this moment, Pete Wernick was suffocated by anger. Yao Jianhong's three words were like three lore knives roaring towards him. One sword after another stabbed him in the heart, each time being more precise. Pain every time.

The mass-produced EUV Purple Star lithography machine sells for 25 million US dollars. Where can ASML survive?
