...

Today, the domestic media people are crazy, and even the whole people are excited about it. The east of the world is boiling.

The news of the purple star lithography machine is really overwhelmingly reported, even if some people who don’t pay attention to the news of science and technology at all have learned about it more or less, there is a kind of thing that is not very clear, but it seems to be an incredible thing. Everyone is talking about things.

The keyword at the top position of the most searched entries on the major online social platforms is “Purple Star Lithography Machine”.

"Mom, is this news true or false? Is there a big man who explained that the purple star lithography machine is really better than the ASML one?"

"The official announcement of the Côte d'Azur company is that such a large group will not entertain everyone with fake news. It must be true."

"Go to Blue Star to watch the video and search for'Purple Star Lithography Machine'. There are recorded promotional videos to disclose the details."

"The archbishop has abused (broken sound)!"

"When I wake up, I feel that the world has changed. The domestic lithography machine and equipment broke the monopoly so quietly. In extreme ultraviolet lithography, ASML's most advanced lithography machine was overwhelmed. This is my understanding The world?"

"To tell you the news, the big media in Europe and the United States have collectively lost their voices. Only some media with little influence are reporting this matter, and those influential media are reporting the news of the Yingjiang election, as if they don’t know. of."

"Jenima is happy for EB, this news is very early in the morning."

"Haha, ASML is probably stupid after seeing this news."

"It's not just ASML, and Yingjiang is probably dumbfounded."

"No wonder the archbishop is not in a hurry, no wonder the blue coast is as stable as an old dog. It turns out that he has squeezed such a big move, and it turns out that there are not many people who are ruthless."

"Looking forward to the follow-up of things, this Nima is more passionate than reading hot-blooded comics. Realistic stories are the most exciting."

...

The established semiconductor manufacturers in the world were indeed dumbfounded when they heard the news. Although the European and American media collectively lost their voices, the discussions on the Reddit forum were really not good.

But the stock market will not pretend to sleep like the media.

In terms of US stocks, the Nasdaq Composite Index closed down 1.81% that day, the biggest one-day drop in the past three months, dragged down by the semiconductor sector's lead.

North American semiconductor giants such as Intel, Xilinx, and Qualcomm have all suffered drastically to varying degrees. The market value of SPC also plummeted by about 8%. The worst decline was ASML. The market value plummeted by 27.98% that day. The market value was 91.4 billion U.S. dollars, falling below the 100 billion U.S. dollar mark, and the market value evaporated by 35.5 billion U.S. dollars a day.

It can be said that it was a bloody start.

The advent of the purple star lithography machine means that ASML's absolute monopoly in the field of lithography equipment has become history, and it is no longer the only choice in the market. What is more terrible is that the manufacturer that broke this situation is still from China.

In sharp contrast, the market value of Bluestar Technology Group rose sharply that day, returning to the $1 trillion mark again.

The purple star lithography machine seems to have nothing to do with Bluestar Technology, but investors don't think so, because Bluestar Technology is also a core part of Luo Sheng's huge commercial technology empire.

The explosive material that broke out this time fully reflects the strong vitality of Luo Sheng and his company. It is really more courageous in the war. Moreover, the current development momentum of Bluestar Technology is also good. Since the strategic restructuring and adjustment, it has been continuously returning blood. It's already an early bottom hunter.

These series of incentives have caused the market value of Bluestar Technology to soar. As a result, the only two listed companies in the world with a market value of more than one trillion US dollars are from the same creator.

This scene is simply picturesque.

...

That night, the lights in ASML’s CEO’s office were still on, and its head, Pete Winnick, was watching a live video broadcast from the Eastern Hemisphere. It was the media conference held by the Cote d’Azur.

At the same time, the Eastern Hemisphere is now at about nine o'clock in the morning, and the press conference hall in the Star City of the Cote d’Azur Headquarters is already full. More than 600 or 700 reporters from domestic and foreign media organizations and more than 1,000 people attended the meeting , The usual press conferences look like more than two hundred media organizations.

It can be seen that the exposure of the purple star lithography machine has caused a huge sensation in the outside world, and it also shows that people's attention to technology semiconductors is high.

"Thank you for the spokesperson and the reporter of Global Media for your question. Mr. Yao, does the breakthrough of the Purple Star lithography machine mean the success of the domestic semiconductor industry chain, and whether the blue coast chip has completed the de-North Americanization? Thank you."

This reporter's question is very simple, and it can be said that it is the most concerned issue of the outside world. Everyone is waiting for a reply.

At this moment, the camera’s light was flashing in the hall all the time, and the “click” of the camera’s shutter sound never stopped. The person presiding over the press conference was Yao Jianhong, the second-ranked figure in the blue coast, second only to Luo Sheng. currently.

Yao Jianhong said with a faint smile: "The two do not conflict. The Riviera is walking on two legs. The self-developed leg was not very effective in the past. Now it can be said that it is basically cured. The road is independently developed. It was established as early as eleven years ago, when the French Riviera was founded, and it has never wavered."

"In the past eleven years, we have invested more than RMB 3.35 trillion in funds alone for the independent semiconductor industry chain plan, and more than 2,000 affiliated companies have participated in the development of the integrated circuit field. It's all unprecedented."

"Today, I can clearly say here that we can make the highest-end chips even without cooperating with any international manufacturer. That is to say, from the front-end industrial software to the IC design, manufacturing, power devices, Basically, all technical pain points have been overcome on the material and equipment side."

Not only the purple star lithography machine equipment?

At the end of Yao Jianhong's speech, there was an incredible exclamation from the audience. I thought that the purple star lithography machine was a super tough material, but I didn't expect a bigger one to come again.

The live broadcast of this press conference is really paying attention to too many people. The major international semiconductor manufacturers are paying attention without sleeping, and it is impossible to sleep peacefully.

Only Yao Jianhong knows that in fact 60% of the links are still constantly being conquered, but the light of the purple star lithography machine is enough to cover these. No one doubts what he said, or even if doubt, dare not try.

Can't afford to lose.

"Thank you to the spokesperson. The reporter of Science and Technology Weekly asked the question. Recent media reports show that the order for the company to carry out the accumulation of power has been interrupted. Will this affect the normal operation of the company's major businesses? In the case of electricity orders, will the Côte d’Azur products face a vacuum period in the market? The domestic semiconductor industry chain plan has been completed, then when will domestic high-end chips be mass-produced? Thank you.

After the reporter finished the question, he did it.

Yao Jianhong didn't hesitate much, as always, he answered this question quickly with a smile.

"As early as ten years ago, our company discussed this issue internally, and performed extreme deductions. Frankly speaking, we did not feel surprised by what happened recently within our team, because we have already deduced similar The situation, even this is not the most extreme situation we envision."

Isn't it the most extreme situation envisaged?

This……

Those in the semiconductor industry who are following the live broadcast also admire Yao Jianhong's words. Is this the vision of the Blue Coast?It has been deduced ten years ago, which is terrible.

No wonder it will achieve today's brilliant situation.

If someone might have questioned Yao Jianhong’s words before, there will be no such thing now. The Zixing lithography machine has already come out. The actual investment of 3.35 trillion yuan is an indelible fact.

Yao Jianhong continued to replied: "In general, the Blue Coast is preparing for this day for ten years. Xiongxin Electronics expects to get the first EUV purple star lithography machine for delivery as soon as the end of 2016. It is expected that mass production can be realized in the mid-term of 2017, but the specific situation depends on the news from Xiongxin Electronics. For relevant developments, please refer to the news of Xiongxin Electronics CEO Ms. Liu Yixuan."

He paused for a moment and continued to add: "As for the several major terminal businesses on the Côte d'Azur, we have made sufficient preparations for inventory. It is not a big problem for the chips in the inventory to continue for a year or a half."

Everything is arranged clearly.

Everyone can see an unprecedented level of confidence from Yao Jianhong's speech and behavior. This is the difference between having confidence and lack of confidence. Even if the confidence is there, it gives people a domineering feeling even if it is elegant and easy-going.

The Blue Coast Company has long been ridiculed by the majority of netizens as a company that says the most easy-going words and does the most ruthless things.

"Thank you to the spokesperson, "Guardian" reporter Luvis Walker, reporter for the question, I would like to ask Mr. Yao, ASML EUV lithography machine is rumored to be sold for more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and the Côte d’Azur’s mass production EUV purple star lithography machine is established. Is the price available? If it is established, what is the price? What is the annual output? Is it available for global semiconductor manufacturers? Thank you."

The reporter who asked the question this time was a foreigner. He spoke in a not fluent Chinese. As it was not very smooth, his speaking was a bit slow, which seemed a bit anxious, but everyone could still understand what he said. .

Everyone looked at Yao Jianhong, and saw that he lowered his head and was silent for a moment. After a while, he looked up at the media professionals in the audience, unconsciously showing a thought-provoking smile, and bought another pass.

This can make the reporters off the court anxious to death, especially the international competitors who silently follow the press conference.

You mean, Madefaq!

In the end, Yao Jianhong methodically said: "There is no doubt that the Purple Star Lithography Opportunity, which was born from the Côte d'Azur Lab, is open to manufacturers all over the world, and we welcome them to come and place orders."

At this moment, ASML head Peter Weinnick, who was watching the live broadcast of the press conference, received his first critical attack.

Yao Jianhong: "Regarding the issue of capacity, capacity is not a problem. We can supply as much as the market demand is. The capacity depends on the customer's order quantity. In other words, we can provide you as much as you want, but Purchase orders must be placed in advance."

Pete Winnick suffered a second crit.

"About the price of the purple star lithography machine..." When talking about this, Yao Jianhong once again sold it, and everyone just scratched his mind. After a few seconds, he finally smiled with a smile, and his words were not surprising. Said: "Just half the price of 100 million U.S. dollars and then half...How about 25 million U.S. dollars?"

The needle dropped in the audience, followed by an uproar.

What this said is called a light cloud. A media person engaged in technology-related reports said sharply: "Tsk tusk tusk, this is the rhythm of the ASML company to the death. Kill it, and it doesn't hide it."

After hearing this, his partner whispered: "I believe that the Côte d’Azur has the heart to completely kill ASML. I absolutely believe that, but the purple star lithography machine should not be sold for $25 million. Most of it is Yao Jianhong. Smoke bombs."

"How to say?"

"Originally it was three inches, but it was called five inches. When the time comes to back by two inches, it will still have three inches. This is our nation’s traditional art. The purple star lithography machine really sells for 25 million US dollars. It will take two years to declare bankruptcy and liquidation. Anyway, I think this is a smoke bomb. Maybe the bigwigs have already started negotiations. This is to create bargaining chips for negotiations."

"The analysis makes sense. But having said that, the market for lithography equipment is so big, but the technology is very critical. Like EDA software, the market for industrial software is even smaller. So even if the purple star lithography machine sells for $100 million, Even if it monopolizes the global market share of lithography equipment, its annual revenue is only more than 10 billion US dollars."

"Oh Huo, the combined value of more than ten billion dollars is only one or two ten billion dollars for you?"

“I’m not looking at it from the standpoint of the giant Côte d’Azur. Think about the Côte d’Azur’s revenue last year, which was close to 250 billion U.S. dollars. In the eyes of the archbishop, the purple star lithography machine is at best a fringe business, with Azure intelligence. Make money from mobile phones? Can ACC game consoles and ieP tablets make money?"

"I can't seem to refute what you say."

At the same time, Pete Winnick, who was far away in Europe, suffered a third crit injury, and he finally couldn't bear it.

"enough!!!!"

Pete Winnick unplugged the power cord on the spot angrily. If it weren't for the key information and sanity in the computer, he would have to replace it with a new set of hardware tomorrow.

At this moment, Pete Winnick was irritated by seven orifices. Yao Jianhong’s three sentences were like three lore knives that whizzed right at him. One sword after another, he pierced his heart with precision, time after time. Pain every time.

The mass-produced EUV Zixing lithography machine sells for 25 million US dollars. Where can ASML survive?
