Chapter 974 Allies

Xinke District, the Chengdu City Planning Bureau once described in the draft plan for this new district that it may implement a management system of provincial and municipal co-construction and city-based management in the future, which will be directly managed by Chengdu City and does not belong to the national statutory administrative division.

After the intensive meeting, this area with a total area of ​​160 square kilometers was circled by that person.

Although the news of this circle has not yet reached the public, the spirit and documents of the relevant meetings have been conveyed, and Jiuzhou Technology, a company, has gained new influence in the official Daxia.

Behind this influence is more power.

It is obvious that after many investigations and conference studies, the senior management of Daxia has chosen a certain degree of "recognition" of Jiuzhou Technology.

The sudden change of TSMC this time has only accelerated it to a certain extent, but not led to its change.

In the new era of semiconductors, how many steps does it take for a high-end process chip that is not manufactured by Xiaxin Technology, that is, TSMC to manufacture chips?

The raw material of silicon-based chips is wafers.

Wafer columns are cut into wafers, and wafers are the substrates of chips.

For the same manufacturing process, the higher the purity of the wafer, the better the chip yield and performance. Therefore, after being arrogant for a while, TSMC still honestly chose to purchase the products of the company with the best quality of Bluestar wafers.

On the surface, they are from Daxia, Neon, and Goryeo, but in fact, the wafers used for TSMC's high-end process chips are all provided by Daxia. In order to invest in American factories without affecting the supply of wafers from these Daxia companies, TSMC even spent a lot of money to sign long-term contracts with these companies.

The equipment, materials and necessary patent authorizations required for the chip manufacturing process come from hundreds of institutions and companies in many countries.

If we take the standard of Uncle Sam's power outage, then theoretically, any of TSMC's upper-stream core companies can power off TSMC.

It's just that except for Daxia companies, no other companies and institutions dare to suppress TSMC.

In the past, it could be explained as the Matthew effect of leading companies, but now the truth has been revealed. They are TSMC in the United States! Who dares to suppress it?

Moreover, according to the financial report data, TSMC and AS-ML did not take the most profits from the semiconductor industry. In the entire semiconductor industry chain, American companies in the field of chip research and development and design are the ones who get the biggest cake.

This is the dilemma of Western semiconductors. On the one hand, they have to rely on Daxia companies to provide wafers, and on the other hand, they have to listen to the words of the superiors and do things that are lip service and insincere.

Now Daxia has achieved localization in the entire semiconductor industry chain. Jiuzhou Technology, with a group of companies, institutions, and universities, conducts research and development, design, manufacturing, and packaging on its own.

Uncle Sam has deeply experienced the feeling of losing control. It’s okay for companies like Xia Wei and Xia Xing to no longer be "afraid", but Europe actually dares to establish a semiconductor alliance and ask Jiuzhou Technology for technology! ?

This is simply betrayal!

Uncle Sam has already shown his knife to the betrayer.

TSMC becoming TSMC in the United States is only the first step. Those European men who are used to a comfortable life will also have to pay the price for their "arrogance and betrayal".

"Pingguo 4-nanometer chip, leading the world! 》

《US: In order to stabilize the supply chain and accelerate the development of the semiconductor industry, it will urge other semiconductor industries to build factories in the United States》

《Jiuzhou Technology's coercion is destroying the semiconductor industry with global division of labor》

Under the guidance of this cliché that people all over the world are a little tired of, the senior executives of several major countries and top commercial technology companies are increasingly feeling the urgency of time.

For example, French President Malone, he was excited at this time, but anxiously stuck with Uncle Sam.

At the banquet filled with seafood and barbecue, where stars and artists competed for beauty, Uncle Sam and Malone "arm in arm and talked to each other."

"We are a lasting alliance. As long as we continue to walk hand in hand like this, the United States and France will walk shoulder to shoulder towards a better future."

Uncle Sam took Malone to recall and paint a pie, but at the same time he did not forget to knock.

Because of the semiconductor crisis and the recent dangerous dynamics of the bear country, Malone, in order to be re-elected, had previously publicly criticized the various double standards of the United States in treating its allies, calling it a wrong way and unfair behavior to treat its allies.

Obviously, all these actions were recorded in the small notebook.

Uncle Sam looked at the small note in his hand, and said to the young man in front of him with a kind and amiable face: "Great Britain has reached an agreement with us to establish a partnership in science and technology and energy.

Germany is now investing in Daxia while looking for other Guojia to seek long-term supply contracts, but most of these foreign cooperations of Germany are led by our Guojia companies as intermediaries."

Uncle Sam said so much. After all, the information that can be recorded on the note cannot be too much, but these contents have made Ma Long feel pressured.

There are no people in European countries who can stand up to gather the scattered sand. Now they are all cleaning up the snow in front of their own doors. Outsiders think that France is now comfortable, but the inside has long been riddled with holes.

The deficit is off the charts, the debt crisis is serious, the population of the main ethnic group is hard to describe, the current military capabilities are in a mess, and the country's pillar industries are also shaky...

Glancing at this white-haired old man, and looking at the luxury and enjoyment not far away, Ma Long felt a chill in his heart.

The think tank and his own team were still having a headache over America's "Inflation Reduction Act" a while ago. Who would have thought that they would have to "take sides" now?

And he also knew that what this bad old man said was true. After all, in the past few years, Oklahoma alone in the United States has attracted more than 60 German companies to invest and expand their business, including Lufthansa, Siemens, and Al Famous high-tech companies such as DI and Fresenius.

But Malone wanted to play a few cards to negotiate.

But considering the comparison between his own industry and the American industry, Ma Long wanted to say something, but when he raised his glass, he could only smile bitterly.

It is dangerous to be an enemy of the United States, and it is not safe to be an ally of the United States.

But Malone still wanted to struggle, and he said to Uncle Sam with a sincere face: "Two years ago, our French STMicroelectronics Co., Ltd. and your company MeGX have already cooperated to build a new semiconductor manufacturing factory in France. . At the same time, they also co-signed the "Joint Statement on Quantum Information Science and Technology Cooperation".

Please believe that we are the best allies. "
