Chapter 769 Qualcomm and Nvidia

Silicon Valley is located in northern California, USA, and in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Not only has it been the kingdom of the electronics and computer industries in the past two decades, the region's venture capital also accounts for one-third of the total venture capital in the United States.

And now, these venture capitals have completely become real "venture capital".

The strong rise of Daxia Technology has caused the profitability of Silicon Valley companies to begin to decline. The 1022 profits of large companies such as Google, HP, Intel, Pingguo, Cisco, Nvidia, Oracle, Tesla, and Yahoo have all fallen by different amounts compared with the previous period.

Someone once counted that there are more than 10,000 large and small electronic industrial companies in Silicon Valley, and the semiconductor integrated circuits and electronic computers produced account for about 1/3 and 1/6 of the total in the United States.

These former glories are becoming increasingly tight shackles.

The increasingly stringent requirements of investors have made it increasingly difficult for North American companies to raise funds.

Small and medium-sized enterprises began to go bankrupt, while large enterprises can still survive because of their strong capital and former glory.

And more and more investment institutions have begun to turn their attention to Daxia, the land full of gold.

Qualcomm President and fourth CEO Amon was looking out the French window at the Rolls-Royce that was slowly driving away with a gloomy face.

He knew that there was a huge capital worth hundreds of billions of dollars in this car.

And he had just sent the other party away personally, in every sense.

"We will start to consider long-term benefits more steadily. If your company cannot show us stable future benefits, then this investment will be a friendship. Of course, our friendship will always exist."

The words of Morgan Stanley's head Gorman were still ringing in Amon's ears.

Amon knew clearly that Morgan Stanley's friendship investment could not satisfy Qualcomm's development.

But what can be done?

He looked at the luxury car that disappeared in his sight, sighed, and the whole person seemed to be a little older and decadent.

He took out his mobile phone and looked through the address book, but still did not call another investment bank.

"Perhaps, none of the American investment banks dare to give us low-interest loans now, let alone normal financing."

In just one week, the semiconductor industry led by Korea and Hanxing fell into a stagnation with no end in sight, and the chips that Qualcomm entrusted to Hanxing Electronics for foundry naturally became a thing of the past.

Can a chip company have a future without chip output?

What's more chilling is that when Qualcomm was about to face foreseeable bankruptcy, former semiconductor alliance partners such as Pingguo and Intel chose to stand aside.

Of course, there was verbal support, but it was limited to verbal support.

Other support, such as helping to share TSMC's production capacity, no partner company asked.

And not only Qualcomm, but also Nvidia, which relied on Hanxing Electronics for chip foundry, was facing the same fate at this time.

Even worse than Qualcomm, Nvidia President Huang Renxun had even seen letters in his mailbox from certain companies that wanted to acquire his own company's patents...

It is obvious that many companies want to eat up technology companies based on Hanxing Electronics for semiconductors.

The danger of Daxia semiconductor companies is dangerous enough, but the meat at the mouth cannot be eaten.

The once "unbreakable" Western semiconductor alliance suddenly fell into civil strife.

Carbon-based chips, Yunjin display panels, silicon-based chips, and Lingjing ecology, these four killer weapons are conquering the city step by step, and far exceeded the "expectations" of these Western semiconductor companies.

"You all want to watch us die, right?!"

Qualcomm President Anmeng's eyes became deep at this time.

He was struggling with his heart.

However, this mentality did not last long. The arrival of a brother in distress made him feel much better.

The visitor was Mr. Huang, who once looked confident and felt that he was the god of the game party, Mr. Huang of Nvidia.

"Our company and your company's chip foundry business is extremely dependent on Hanxing Electronics. In the past, Hanxing Electronics' foundry was slightly worse than TSMC. We wanted TSMC's production capacity, but these companies headed by Pingguo treated us like thieves and strictly guarded against us.

In recent years, we have finally received technical support from Jiuzhou Technology, and the yield rate, process, and foundry technology have all been significantly improved.

Our company has placed a large order with Hanxing Electronics, and I believe your company has done the same.

But now, Hanxing Electronics' factory has stopped production, and it can even be predicted that the technical negotiation problem will definitely not be properly resolved."

Huang Renxun's explanation made Qualcomm President Amon feel uncomfortable.

"I know, I know what you mean. Neither of our companies has a stable chip foundry channel.

If you want us, Qualcomm, and your Nvidia to invest in a chip foundry, I'm sorry.

Our company can't provide such resources. I believe that not only Qualcomm, but also the entire West can't create a semiconductor chip foundry that can replace Hanxing Electronics from scratch."

Huang Renxun pinched his nose and nodded awkwardly.

Amon was right. With the financial resources of the two companies, it is easy to set up a chip foundry, but it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to become a semiconductor company like Hanxing Electronics that has both massive chip foundry capacity and top-level high-end process chip foundry capabilities.

But Huang Renxun's purpose was not here, so he stared straight into Amon's eyes and said mysteriously: "We have created such a powerful semiconductor company, and it is impossible for the West to create a third one, but what about Daxia?"

"Daxia?"

Amon's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, Daxia!"

"Our research lab has cracked and reverse-engineered the chips produced by Jiuzhou Technology and Xiawei.

Although Jiuzhou Technology's chips have powerful anti-disassembly settings, Xiawei's Kirin chips do not have such powerful protection.

Our research lab found that the steady-state micro-beam SS1MB light source used in Daxia's second-generation silicon-based chip technology is a powerful light source that is ahead of our EVU lithography machine. All semiconductor industries that Daxia Semiconductor relies on are upgraded with this technology as the core.

Although their semiconductors are not the fourth-generation and fifth-generation lithography machines defined by us, they are semiconductor industries independent of our technology system. It is precisely because of this specialness that they can support Jiuzhou Technology's unique chip architecture and algorithm.

According to the speculation of our chip engineers and R&D personnel, even if Pingguo's latest chip can have the ordinary level of Chenxing chips under ideal conditions, it will definitely not have data processing performance and AI intelligence comparable to Chenxing chips."
