Chapter Eight Hundred and Ninety Seventh: The Boy Who Was Born in the Grass, He Will Start Slaughtering Dragons

"This is difficult, I am the scheming."

"Mr. Zhang, this is you?"

"Hehe, Ben Hard, why, I can't call you without TSMC?"

"Mr. Zhang, that's not what I meant."

"How is it at Universal Technology?"

"pretty good."

"Oh, I didn't think about it at the beginning, Ben Hard, you won't blame me."

"Mr. Zhang, you have always been someone I respect very much."

"Benhard, thank you."

"Mr. Zhang, don't say that."

"Benjian, do you think that with the strength of Huanyu Technology, they can make a lithography machine? Of course, I'm not just talking about capital, I believe you know better than me about the technology involved."

"I do not know either."

"If our TSMC supports your wet process, do you think it is more likely."

"Mr. Zhang, have you decided?"

"Yes. But, you know, I've always believed in you, and I want you to go back to TSMC."

"I……"

"Benjian, TSMC has always been your home. I hesitated and didn't make a decision before. It's not that I don't believe you. It's..."

"Mr. Zhang, I know."

"In that case, Ben Jian, come back."

"boss Zhang……"

Lin Benjian on the other end of the phone was taken aback.

For Zhang Zhongmou, he actually has deep feelings.

At the same time, he also spent a good time at TSMC.

His experience, his brilliance, his many and everything, are all in TSMC.

For a moment.

Lin Ben almost agreed to Zhang Zhongmou's invitation.

He could hear that this was a sincere invitation from Zhang Zhongmou.

Moreover, Zhang Zhongmou has never done anything to make him feel sorry.

Although Zhang Zhongmou hesitated and did not decide to enter the field of wet lithography, any entrepreneur would hesitate for such a large investment.

Can……

Nothing happened again.

If you didn't come to Huanyu Technology, everything would be fine.

But now that Huanyu Technology is here...

Thinking of the young man who was full of energy, focused on the world, and was astonishingly talented.

Lin Benjian shook his head: "I'm sorry. I have already joined Universal Technology. If I go back to TSMC now, I will be very sorry for Mr. Chen. Besides, I am not such a person."

"Ugh……"

Zhang Zhongmou shook his right hand holding the phone.

"Ben Jian, don't say sorry, it's me who say sorry. Ben Jian, whether you are at TSMC or not, we are still the same as before."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"That's it, Ben Hard, hang up first."

With a sigh, Zhang Zhongmou hung up the phone.

In fact, before making this call, Zhang Zhongmou knew that Lin Benjian could not return to TSMC.

Lin Benjian is not such a person, even if Zhang Zhongmou promises anything.

In fact, Zhang Zhongmou didn't take any conditions, and he still moved Lin Benjian with his old love.

He felt that only in this way could he impress Lin Benjian.

But can only say sorry.

Although the old love is beautiful and worth remembering, it is not Lin Benhard's principle of life.

At that time, Zhang Zhongmou didn't think about it clearly. Now that he thinks about it clearly, it's too late.

"Zhang Lei, contact asml company, I want to chat with their CEO."

"Mr. Zhang, have you really decided?"

"Benjian's departure is a big loss for us at TSMC. If I don't decide, we will have no chance."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I will contact asml immediately."

A few days later.

Zhang Zhongmou, the founder and chairman of TSMC, personally went to the asml lithography machine company in the Netherlands.

"Mr. Zhang, do you want to study wet lithography?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Zhang, you should know that according to Lin Benjian's wet theory, the investment in this area should be at least US$10 billion. This US$10 billion is still underestimated by me."

"I know too."

"Mr. Zhang, I appreciate your courage.

But we asml really can't come up with so much money. "

"What if I say we TSMC can inject capital into asml?"

"It's not enough to have TSMC alone, unless you cooperate with us regardless of cost."

"Then if I pull Intel, Samsung, what about them?"

"Mr. Zhang, can you convince Intel and Samsung?"

"Peter Wen", president of asml, was a little excited.

In fact, he is naturally clear about the intention of TSMC.

As the world's largest chip foundry, TSMC has now accepted the challenge from Huanyu Technology.

Although this challenge has not had much impact for the time being, Center International's business is also in the low-end chip segment for the time being.

But everyone knows that Huanyu Technology has a huge capital flow and a terrifying Chinese market.

In the future, TSMC will inevitably have a war with Center International.

Just asml is also clear.

The development of wet lithography process may be the only way to solve the current dry technology.

But even if this is the only one, the huge amount of money makes asml unable to make this determination.

On the one hand, they don't have the funds.

On the other hand, even if they can get so much capital, they may not be able to occupy the market.

After all, asml only produces lithography machines.

What if TSMC, Intel, Samsung, these chip manufacturing companies are not sure about their lithography machines?

The market can often decide the life and death of upstream companies.

For example, although asml has a certain market share in the field of lithography machines, Japan's Nikon, Canon, their lithography machine technology is not bad. At the same time, Intel and Samsung are also their customers.

But if you can bind Intel, TSMC, Samsung, the three of them, let them become asml shareholders.

Undoubtedly, this gives asml a layer of insurance.

In the future, as long as it is a lithography machine produced by asml, they will buy it as soon as possible.

certainly.

For TSMC, Intel, and Samsung, taking a stake in asml is also equivalent to signing a strategic agreement.

As long as asml develops the wet lithography machine, then they must sell it to their own shareholders in the first place.

Even, they can decide to cut off the supply of their competitors.

Such cooperation is beneficial to all parties.

However, after asml president "Peter Wen" calmed down, he seemed a little hesitant.

"Mr. Wen Peter, do you have any questions?"

"Mr. Zhang, you may not be able to convince Samsung and Intel."

After that, Peter Wen continued: "Samsung and Intel not only have chip manufacturing business, but also end-consumer business. They may not be willing to spend huge amounts of money on research and development of wet lithography."

Keep it simple.

That is, in addition to making their own chips, Samsung and Intel can also sell products.

Even if it is subject to competition from the Center International, it will not have much impact.

But TSMC is different.

TSMC is only a chip foundry, they only charge foundry fees, they do not have products.

They can't sell the foundry chips to other manufacturers.

Nor has the chip been packaged into some kind of electronic product directly to consumers.

That's why TSMC came to the Netherlands, not Samsung or Intel.

Because TSMC is the most challenged.

"Mr. Peter Wen, you are very right. Maybe Intel and Samsung really don't have such a lot of pressure now. However, this is not necessarily. You have to know that Huanyu Technology is not just as simple as just making a chip."

"Mr. Zhang, say it."

"Let's analyze, Huanyu Technology has a central international, which stabilizes the chip foundry technology for them. But for Huanyu Technology, they feel that this is not enough insurance, because they think they don't have a lithography machine, so they still will Restricted, so they want to make lithography machines."

"This logic is normal. It's me, and I will also have such a sense of crisis."

"But we know that a chip is not just about making chips. Before making chips, he also designs chips."

"You mean Tianwen chip?"

"It's not just Tianwen chips."

Zhang Zhongmou shook his head: "The Tianwen chip is just a microprocessor based on the arm architecture. Then, it is still the same as the previous idea. When Huanyu Technology made its own chips, they would think that they did not have a lithography machine, so they wanted to do it. Lithography machine. Then when they are doing chip design, don't they think, why should it be based on arm's chip architecture? Why, they don't come up with one that is different from arm, and different from others, completely their own What about the independent structure of the company?"

"This……"

After saying this, Wen Peter became extremely serious.

In fact, he had heard before that Universal Technology was secretly working on their chip architecture.

But for a long time, the new structure of Huanyu Technology has not come out.

What came out, on the contrary, is the Tianwen chip based on the arm chip architecture.

Moreover, with the support of Tianwen chips, a series of electronic products of Huanyu Technology have developed very well.

Just when Wen Peter gradually forgot about such a thing, Zhang Zhongmou mentioned it again.

For a company like Huanyu Technology, it is absolutely impossible for them to have only one intention.

"Mr. Zhang, do you think Universal Technology can make a new chip architecture?"

"I have no idea."

Zhang Zhongmou shook his head: "There is no problem with technology, but it is difficult to say about ecology. But don't you think that Universal Technology has built its own ecology more and more?"

Pear mp3 series.

Universal mobile phone series.

Universal computer series.

Universal TV...

Could it be that Huanyu Technology is doing this just to make money?

Although these electronic products do not occupy a large share of the entire global electronic products, they are connected together and have formed an ecology belonging to Universal Technology. As soon as this ecosystem grows bigger, what he wants to challenge is not TSMC, but asml. What he wants to challenge becomes Samsung, Intel, Microsoft, and ibm...

But at that time.

The boy who was born in the grass, he will start slaughtering dragons.

"Mr. Zhang, after what you said, I feel that Huanyu Technology is a little scary now."

"Yeah, maybe you don't know. When I first heard about Huanyu Technology, I didn't pay much attention to it. However, now I don't dare to be careless about any news about Huanyu Technology."

"If so, will Intel and Samsung agree?"

"If they still want to control the market, they absolutely will."

In this regard, Zhang Zhongmou is extremely confident.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm waiting for your good news."

Wen Peter didn't hesitate any more and said with a smile.
