Chapter 2105: The Winner Is Crowned, the Loser Is Nameless
"It is indeed them." Lin Yi whispered.
Of these two companies, one is a lithography machine giant that has been in the market for so many years. Under normal circumstances, its market share is much larger than that of Loongson.
Taipower is a chip giant and occupies a dominant position in the entire market.
So in this matter, we naturally have the right to take the lead.
This is understandable and not difficult to guess.
"Is the plan finalized now?"
"That's almost it. There will be a cocktail party tonight, and there may be a specific ruling on this matter." Qi Xianzhao said.
"A cocktail party?"
"This is their usual practice and they will finalize the matter in a relaxed environment."
"In other words, there are still variables in this matter, right."
"This is theoretically possible, but the variables are no longer possible." Qi Xianzhao said:
"Intel, ASML, Taipower, Samsung, Qualcomm, Micron, TI, these world-class semiconductor manufacturers have formed a consortium. Our power is very small. It is probably very difficult to change this pattern. Difficult things.”
"Is there any Intel in this?"
Lin Yi was surprised by the news of Intel's involvement.
He is Intel's largest shareholder, so they should be on his side.
"I'm also very surprised about Intel." Qi Xianzhao said:
"Their negotiator this time is not Alice, but a man named Powell, who is said to be their senior vice president."
"Have you contacted Alice privately?"
"Yes, but the phone has been unreachable and I can't get in touch at all."
"Maybe something happened." Lin Yi said calmly.
Lin Yi is well aware of Intel's line.
They are the world's largest CPU manufacturer and an important player in the world's semiconductor industry.
It is impossible for Americans to let this enterprise be in the hands of an outsider.
But how exactly this works is still unknown.
What is certain is that if they want to, it will not be difficult to take back Intel.
But this matter cannot be forgotten easily. After taking some time, we have to find a way to talk to Alice.
"Mr. Lin, we have now reached a very dangerous period." Qi Xianzhao said worriedly:
"If the new structure and agreement take effect, the impact on Lingyun Group will be unprecedentedly huge. Our industrial park in Dongsan County will also face the possibility of suspending production. The consequences will affect the whole body and may even cause butterflies. The effect has spread to the entire Chinese semiconductor industry."
"I see."
Lin Yi lowered his head, his face gloomy.
I called Qi Xianzhao over today just to talk about the company and catch up with him.
Unexpectedly, this happened.
However, this seems to be a business suppression, but in fact it is a game between big powers.
However, Lingyun Group became cannon fodder here.
Ring ring ring——
At this moment, Lin Yi's cell phone rang, it was Shen Shuyi's call.
Lin Yi looked at his watch. It was now around six o'clock in the evening, London time. If the time difference was included, it would be around one in the morning in Yanjing.
Shen Shuyi may have important matters to call at this time.
"Are you talking about it?"
After the call was connected, Shen Shuyi said.
"It's convenient, Aunt Shen, please tell me."
"Have you seen Qi Xianzhao?"
"Yes, we are together."
"He should have told you about the meeting."
"Aunt Shen also knows?"
"I just heard about it too." Shen Shuyi said seriously:
"This matter is obviously aimed at you, with the purpose of suppressing China's semiconductor industry. You should be able to guess this."
"Come to think of it, we are just cannon fodder in the game between great powers." Lin Yi said with a wry smile: "I feel like I don't even know how to die."
Shen Shuyi on the other side of the phone was silent for a long time, "Thank you for your hard work on this."
"It's okay. I'm a big-hearted person and I won't take these things to heart. The worst I can do is go back to my wife and children to warm up on the kang."
"If you really think so, I would be happy for you, but the problem is that you are not that kind of person. With Aunt Shen, don't talk about such irrelevant things."
Lin Yi touched his nose and felt that he was still a little tender in front of Shen Shuyi.
"But there's something I'm curious about." Lin Yi said:
"If this meeting is successful, it will be a major reshuffle in the semiconductor industry. Why has no news about such a big event leaked out before?"
Lin Yi paused and continued:
"Moreover, rewriting the architecture and computing protocols will also have an impact on their own companies. How come the shareholders of these major international companies are so united that they actually united to finalize these things?"
From the very beginning, when Qi Xianzhao said this, Lin Yi was confused.
Capitalists are all about money. They will only make as much money as possible and will not think about other things.
But rewriting the structure and protocols will have a huge impact on their interests.
It would be understandable if a company agreed.
But now, these world-class semiconductor companies are all united, and something is wrong no matter how you look at it.
"This is also something I haven't thought about." Shen Shuyi said:
"But my guess is that it may be the result of uneven development."
"Uneven development?"
"The real development time of the domestic Internet and semiconductor industries is less than 20 years, and there are still many blue oceans that we have not touched, so investors are pursuing short-term benefits." Shen Shuyi said :
"But the United States is different. Their high-tech and Internet industries have been around for decades at least. The industries that should be developed have almost been developed. It is very difficult to make a lot of money through short-term investment. I guess This time, they may want to wash away some irrelevant companies through industry innovation, not only Lingyun Group, but also the semiconductor industry in other countries. In this way, they will become the world leader and achieve a semiconductor monopoly."
"This reason makes sense, but this approach has already affected the interests of various countries. They are playing on the sidelines and it is easy for them to play with fire and burn themselves."
"So this is my guess. I am not sure. How it will develop and their true purpose will have to be verified over time. I am calling you just to tell you the seriousness of the matter."
Shen Shuyi said seriously:
"The current Lingyun Group and the Western semiconductor giants are the first wave of effective forces sent by the two camps. Both sides have their own tasks and missions. You are each other's game-breakers. The winner will be crowned and the loser will be nameless!"
