Chapter 119 Tyrannosaurus EUV-Plus

Very soon.

The time came to November 10th.

After nearly three months.

Black Hole Technology Company, the first lithography machine factory, has produced two more Tyrannosaurus EUVs.

Two were produced at one time.

After some testing, due to the higher proportion of domestic high-precision parts (that is, parts polished by Wei Mingshen), the performance indicators of the two new Tyrannosaurus EUVs have been improved.

The lithography power in normal mode has been increased from 625W to 700W.

The sustainable working time of a single light source system has been increased from nearly 60 minutes to 90 minutes.

The heat dissipation performance has been improved, and the duration of the violent mode has been increased from 10 minutes to 30 minutes.

In general, the working efficiency of an improved version of Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus is equivalent to that of three 3800i of ASMA.

The starting price remains unchanged, still 2 billion per unit.

And because the working efficiency is equivalent to three 3800i, even if the price of 3800i is only 700 million, the Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus is more cost-effective.

Because if Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus is used, two-thirds of the manpower responsible for serving the machine will be saved.

The annual electricity bill alone can save tens of millions.

Moreover, the photolithography accuracy is higher, which can significantly improve the yield of the chip.

For example, the Tyrannosaurus EUV bought by Longyao Company has increased its chip yield to 95% after more than a month of running-in... Such a rapid improvement is completely based on the precision of photolithography.

Flocking in.

In order to snap up the two latest Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus, dozens of domestic chip companies, large and small, sent representatives at the level of vice president or above, just to get one.

Temporary auction venue.

After several rounds of price increases.

The first Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus was bought by Huaxin International for 2.785 billion yuan.

The second Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus was bought by Blueray Group for 2.538 billion yuan.

Some people may feel something is wrong.

Why is it sold so cheaply?

You should know that the first Tyrannosaurus EUV was bought by Longyao Company at a sky-high price of 5 billion yuan, and then a 10% discount was given, and the actual payment was 4.5 billion in cash before the lithography machine was taken away.

The performance of Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus is more powerful, and the various parameters are more terrifying. Why didn't it sell at a higher price, but it was obviously much cheaper?

Competition.

Because there are competitive factors.

The 3800i EUV of ASMI has sufficient stock, short waiting time, and low price. Although the Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus is more powerful, once the price exceeds 2.5 billion, it will not look attractive. It is better to consider ASMI's products.

In addition.

Although there are 38 domestic chip companies participating in the auction, 16 of them were officially disqualified from bidding before the auction started, and only 22 companies were actually qualified to bid.

"Why did you disqualify us from the auction? Why don't you let us participate?" The representative of Shengtang Semiconductor questioned loudly.

"We are all Chinese companies, why do we have to treat them differently?" The representative of another semiconductor company was also very dissatisfied.

"This is unfair, we don't accept it!"

"This is naked discrimination! Black Hole Technology, please give us an explanation, give us a reason to convince us!"

"Haha, reason?"

Qi Xiong, deputy manager of Black Hole Technology, sneered at them and said: "Shengtang Semiconductor, with more than 5 billion yuan of funds from domestic investors, ordered two 3800i from ASMI last month, and also found several US semiconductor companies to purchase a large number of materials and equipment, intending to build two high-end chip production lines."

"Deyao Semiconductor, the domestic Magic City Microelectronics' 45-nanometer lithography machine is only 80 million yuan per unit. You have failed to lower the price to 60 million yuan per unit, and directly spent 120 million yuan to order an lithography machine of the same type from ASMI, the performance is almost the same, you They would rather spend 40 million more than give domestic lithography machines a chance. "

"Lianxiang Storage Company claims to be a national brand, but its production lines all use foreign technical standards and claim to be in line with international standards. In order to win the trust of foreign customers, it has taken the initiative to remove domestic equipment from the factory many times and take the path of Sinicization. The price of your company's solid-state hard drives in China is 50% higher than that in foreign countries. Why did you come to participate in this auction? Is it to steal business intelligence?"

"I won't list the rest one by one. You know what you have done. You are all on the blacklist of Black Hole Technology. Unless you undergo a complete change, Black Hole Technology will not consider cooperating with you."

"Please go back!"

Qi Xiong issued an order to expel them.

The representatives of the 16 companies were immediately furious.

"Arrogant, arrogant!"

"Don't think that it's great to have developed an EUV."

"Western technology is still many years ahead of us. We must remain tolerant and open, and continue to embrace the most advanced Western technology, rather than embrace backwardness!"

"Black Hole Technology, you are walking on a dead end, and there will be no good end!"

"Go, stupid and ignorant, it's better not to stay!"

"Within three years, Black Hole Technology will fail!"

"How dare you insult me ​​like this? Even if my company doesn't make money in the future, I will teach Black Hole Technology a lesson!"

Cursing, this group of expelled company representatives left Black Hole Technology Company. After being so humiliated, they were full of anger and hatred, and actively discussed how to kill Black Hole Technology.

…

After the auction ends.

Wei Ming met with representatives of Huaxin International and Blu-ray Group.

"Mr. Wei, can you give us a further discount on the price of the lithography machine? It is said that you gave us a 10% discount on the Tyrannosaurus EUV purchased by Longyao Company last time," said the representative of Huaxin International.

"The internal complexity of Tyrannosaurus EUV is smaller than that of ASMED's EUV, and the manufacturing cost should be lower. General Health, 2.538 billion. Blu-ray Group has been losing money for seven or eight consecutive years. It is difficult to come up with so much cash. Can you give me some more?" discount?"

The representative of Blu-ray Group said.

"Then... I'll give you a 10% discount."

Wei Ming nodded and said: "You are all members of the 'Strategic Alliance'. From now on, all members of the Strategic Alliance will enjoy a 10% discount on all Black Hole Technology products."

"That's great, thank you Mr. Wei!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, thank you, Mr. Wei!"

The two representatives were overjoyed. With just such a promise, their companies each saved more than 200 million.

"but!"

Wei Ming emphasized again: "Did you all see that the 16 company representatives were expelled this morning? Black Hole Technology's attitude is very firm. It will not care about other products for the time being, but for EUV lithography machines, I want to buy Tyrannosaurus EUV. Don’t even think about buying EUV from foreign companies, you can only choose one of the two.”

"You have enjoyed the discount, please keep in mind the rules of Black Hole Technology, and don't think half-heartedly and do things I don't want to see, otherwise don't blame me for falling out."

He warned with a serious look on his face.

"You know, with the Tyrannosaurus EUV, we won't consider any foreign products."

"If there is a black hole technology company, we will only buy your company's products; if there is a strategic alliance, we will only consider the products of the strategic alliance!"

Two representatives gave their assurances.
