Global Monopoly of Technology

When Pete Wernick's special plane arrived in China, the local time happened to be at night. As soon as he left the terminal, he learned a news that the stock of ASML in the US stock market NASDAQ opened plummeted.

The stock price is constantly venting, and the plunge is expected by Pete Wernick. With such a huge change in the industry, market investors are obviously pessimistic about the future of ASML.

After Pete Wernick arrived in China, he checked into the hotel first. He couldn't help but get up in the middle of the night to look at the U.S. stock market. The day's trading was over.

ASML's stock price plummeted 32.73%, evaporating $29.9 billion that day, and the total market value in after-hours trading was only $61.5 billion.

In just two days, the market value of ASML was cut in half by half, which is a terrible word.

Pete Wernicke was prepared in his heart. When he saw this trend, when he thought of coming here in shame at this moment, he was almost annoyed and his mentality was unstable, and his whole person was not well.

Sometimes, people just make themselves cheap. Pete Winnick knew that he would be more angry when he looked at the stock price, but he couldn't help but want to self-mutilate to look for abuse.

...

the next day.

Science and Technology Complex Building.

"Xiao Na, test the software environment." Luo Sheng is programming the power exoskeleton operating system, and is also conducting a high-level video conference within the Cote d'Azur.

"Mr. Luo, we have received news that the head of ASML has come to China in a low-key manner. He got off the plane last night and will send someone to the company today to meet and talk with you."

Yao Jianhong said.

The company's core executives already knew about this, and one of the managers present at the meeting said happily: "Haha, the Purple Star lithography machine has just been exposed, and Pete Wernick flew over the next day. This reaction is too real. , too quickly."

Everyone else laughed when they heard it, no matter how they looked at it, ASML's move seemed a little embarrassed.

Another person also added: "ASML's market value has been cut in half in two days, and everyone is anxious to change it. If you want me to say that Pete Wernick came uninvited, it was unexpected, but it was reasonable. ."

Everyone in the meeting nodded in agreement again, and it was very cool.

ASML also has today.

Luo Sheng couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Yao Jianhong only knew about it when he said this. Recently, Lao Yao was dealing with these problems, while he himself was engaged in development.

At this moment, Luo Sheng's brain quickly flashed through all kinds of possibilities, his thinking was as agile as ever, but for a moment he said with a smile that was not a smile: "Hehe, it should be coming, but it shouldn't be coming if it is too fast or too direct. "

When everyone heard the meaning of Luo Sheng's words, they couldn't help but wonder.

"Mr. Luo, what do you mean..."

Luo Sheng looked at the simulation environment of the powered exoskeleton system, and said calmly: "Pete Wernick looks embarrassed to run in such a hurry, but it is the same, but there are some issues that are worth scrutinizing, ASML wants to talk about this Certainly, but whether or not it can determine the final outcome is a different matter."

Yao Jianhong said succinctly: "Mr. Luo means that the role of SIA cannot be ignored."

Luo Sheng nodded and said: "Yes, ASML came to me to talk to me alone, it is purely self-inflicted, he no longer has the bargaining chip I value, he must know this, but he is here, and he came so quickly and so directly , This is intriguing, can I suspect that there are contradictions and differences among them?"

Everyone is thoughtful.

Luo Sheng continued his analysis: "Since Pete Wernicke knows that coming to me alone is humiliating, when a person knows he will be humiliated and still bites the bullet, in addition to the imminent crisis, he must have found a feasible solution. breakthrough."

A senior executive who attended the meeting subconsciously said: "Breakthrough?"

Luo Sheng smiled indifferently, and said slowly: "After thinking about it, I have a high probability to judge that this is a tactic to kill with a knife, and treat me as a tool. Pete Wernick is trying to elevate himself in SIA by negotiating with me. Value is a helpless move, and normal business competition ASML will go bankrupt within three years."

"Mr. Luo, do you mean that ASML is here to disrupt the situation?"

Luo Sheng nodded: "It's very possible, ASML really opened this hole, SIA will be difficult to do, the internal logic here, as long as you figure out what is the most feared thing for SIA in the current situation, it will not be difficult to get results. SIA is afraid of further intensification of internal conflicts. The first question that all parties think of when the industry is facing a major reshuffle is how to seek self-protection and continue to maintain its advantages in the new turmoil. ASML has already begun to take action for this, but in the eyes of SIA He's going to make a really bad start, and he's going to stop it."

Makes sense.

Everyone nodded secretly. From the standpoint of SIA, ASML must not betray. Sheng and Côte d'Azur further added fuel to the fire. For example, Samsung Electronics had already obtained a stable source of profit in Côte d'Azur, and now it is even more impossible to decouple from the other party.

Whether it is a loss or a gain, everyone has their own calculations in their hearts.

"Mr. Luo, do you want to meet and talk with Pete Wernick?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng rejected it without hesitation: "No, why does he want to use me as a tool person to see him? ASML offends offends. Now it's not necessary for me."

Everyone was silent for a while, and Yao Jianhong immediately said: "If you don't see it, isn't this a situation that SIA would like to see? Other manufacturers who want to ease the relationship and want to soften their relationship see our attitude towards ASML, don't they push them towards SIA? Make them more determined?"

Others at the meeting echoed, and although it is really cool and refreshing to leave Pete Wernick in the air, it will also make Samsung Electronics, TSMC, Shin-Etsu Chemical and other inherent international partners and those who are in the swing vote with their feet .

After all, it is really humiliating and thankless, who would do it.

The key is that there are actually 60% of the technical links in the entire semiconductor industry chain that have not been opened up. The outside world does not know this, but I cannot lie to myself. Once SIA also knows this, the situation may change dramatically again. will be in a passive situation.

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "I just said that using me as a tool will prevent me from seeing you, but I didn't say that not using me as a tool will prevent me from seeing you."

Everyone was stunned for a while, and the first time they heard it, they felt like they didn't say it, but carefully one product has two diametrically opposite meanings, and the Chinese culture is broad and profound.

"Boss, don't give a shit, how are you going to deal with this?"

"Yes, if we see it, what are the conditions?"

Luo Sheng put away his smile and said, "Peter Wernick wants to use a knife to kill people, and I will follow his strategy and use him as a knife. Who is the tool person?"

Yao Jianhong asked curiously, "How do you say this?"

Luo Sheng: "I don't see it, ASML still has to find another way out, then he will definitely find other domestic manufacturers to win customers and partners, just so I can see how many people in China are two or five boys, and take this opportunity to wash the team, At least there must be a little black book to remember."

Everyone was stunned, how could this magic be used?

Yup!

It is true that the Zixing lithography machine has been exposed, but it is also necessary to wait in line to buy it. There is no doubt that Xiongxin Electronics is the absolute first priority to supply. Even so, it will take a year or two to wait, let alone other manufacturers. Yes, ASML can definitely see the supply issues in it too.

Really insidious.

Everyone secretly commented on the boss. They thought they had guessed the third floor of the boss, but they didn't expect the boss to be on the fourth floor, but Luo Sheng was actually on the fifth floor.

"After talking about the unseen things, let's talk about goodbye." Luo Sheng explained in an orderly manner: "Let's talk more about Pete Wernick, not because of the relationship with SIA, this must be clear, but because of what? European market, The collapse of ASML will also affect the interests of the German manufacturing industry. Germany is the core of the euro zone and has lost the North American market. The European market is the most important developed country market on the Riviera.”

"So, our interest demands and the other party's interest demands are connected, so we can negotiate, and use this as a negotiation condition, it will not affect my business in the European market, don't mess with me, I can keep ASML alive , can continue to live and nourish, and can even continue to deepen cooperation, continue to deepen business cooperation with the whole of Europe, this can be discussed, and the rest are not discussed. It is not enough to talk about the entire integrated circuit landscape and reshuffle an ASML. Only John from SIA The old man is qualified to come and talk to me."

It turned out to be so, after everyone heard it, they suddenly realized, and they sighed again and again, in the end they still failed to keep up with the pattern of the big boss.

Even the European business was taken into consideration by the way. The outside world did not think about this issue at all, and they focused their attention on North America.

This reminds me of the fact that Europeans are not used to foreign technology companies making a lot of money recently. Silicon Valley technology giants such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft have been hit with huge fines from Europe and the United States.

In this situation, Côte d'Azur and Bluestar Technology will suffer the knife sooner or later. The reason why they did not start is because both companies are investing in Europe on a large scale, contributing tens of thousands of jobs, and the two sides are still doing well.

I didn't find a good opportunity to start, but Luo Sheng didn't think that these foreigners would really be grateful to Dade, maybe they were playing "scientific pig raising", fattening you before killing them.

At this time, you don't need to put your chips into your arms, and they won't notify you when they kill you.

The saying that peace generates wealth is contrary to reality. The so-called peace and wealth are based on the basis of checks and balances between the two sides. Once the balance is out of balance, it means that the coffin will make a fortune, and the other party will make a fortune.

Plundering is their nature.

Luo Sheng added: "By the way, not only did he not see it, but he also had to pour some oil on it. He brought the news to the media through an unnamed executive on the Côte d'Azur, and tried to amplify the news that Pete Wernick came to the door to ask for information and was tragically closed... I hope Pete doesn't jump out of his mind."

Yao Jianhong said happily: "This move is really damaging, killing people and killing their hearts."

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "It's a bit of a loss, but it's part of the plan, to fry ASML as a pot of meat in a pot, toss and fry it back and forth, break his confidence, don't leave him any illusions, later It's going to be a lot easier to talk about."

In Luo Sheng's eyes, the value of ASML's existence is necessary, and only the European business market is left.

...

An hour later, in a room at the newly opened Hilton Hotel in Sioux City.

Pete Wernick's secretary knocks on the door.

"BOSS, Cote d'Azur replied."

Hearing this, Pete Wernick, who was smoking in a muffled voice, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and immediately looked at the secretary and said, "When will we meet? Where is the place?"
