Global monopoly of technology

"BOSS, they directly refused to interview."

"Hmm...huh?" Pete Winnick reacted slowly for a while. After the reflection, the whole person looked at a loss, staring straight at his secretary with round eyes and said loudly: "...what did you say?"

His secretary had to repeat it again.

Hearing this, Pete Winnick couldn't say a word. The secretary looked at the situation a bit weak, and said weakly, waiting in the cubicle for the results.

"How could this be……"

Pete Winnick murmured to himself, he ignored his secretary, but doubted his life.

When did ASML receive this treatment?

You know, even if a global vice president came to China before, he was received with very high standards and all kinds of offerings were made.

But this time, as the head of the company, he didn't even see each other. The so-called not to hit the smiley person with his hand, the result was an unceremonious face hit.

This gap is not generally large.

In less than half an hour, Pete Winnick saw news reports about his coming to China, and according to reports, it was an unnamed executive from the Riviera who broke the news.

The head of ASML arrived overnight, but the news that the door was shut down spread overnight, and the major media were reporting on the matter.

After seeing these news, Pete Winnick was so angry that he became autistic. Not only did he not see him, but he also fell into trouble. Shame, shame, anger and other emotions were intertwined with Peter Winnick.

This is deliberately embarrassing him.

He knew that not only did this matter have no turn for the better, it was cleverness instead of being mistaken by cleverness. Pete Winnick had counted many possibilities, but in the end Luo Sheng hadn't seen him.

Because no matter how bad it seems to him, meeting each other is not a problem.

However, it turned out to be counterproductive, and he even made up for it. Pete Winnick suddenly felt that his move was extremely ridiculous. It turned out that Luo Sheng was determined to put ASML to death, and even had no interest in negotiations.

Regret it?

Of course Pete Winnick regrets it now. He can even imagine how SIA's co-chairman John would mock him then, and he will definitely be pulled out to whip the corpse, as the textbook is the opposite of the textbook to whip the corpse.

As the news ferments, this matter has become the latest hot spot today. Major media are reporting, industry insiders are analyzing and interpreting, and netizens are talking about it.

"ASML also has today, who has God spared?"

"The archbishop is really tough!"

"In the past, we used to provide ASML in various ways like grandsons. As the party A who paid the money, it also depends on the mood of the other party. How frustrated we used to be, now we have more energy."

"Sent to the door comes from humiliation, there is nothing to say."

"It's just one word-cool EB."

"Pete Weinike is probably stupid at this time. He is not a person inside and out, and neither can benefit from it. ASML's stock price will continue to crash tomorrow, I am afraid it is a certainty."

"This is a rhythm to death."

"If you don't die, you have to go to death. These are the sins and debts that ASML made before.

"I can only say that I have to pay it back sooner or later."

"The archbishop has fulfilled the dream of many people. Unconsciously, our high-end manufacturing industry has reached this level, and even ASML can look down on it."

...

ASML is indeed not a human being inside and outside. Pete Weinecke had a closed door here at Luo Sheng, which directly disrupted all his previous layout. Not only did it not help the company's crisis response, but the situation was even more dangerous.

We are now in a dilemma. Both sides are offended and they have become an international laughingstock.

The news here quickly spread across the oceans and spread all over the world. This time the mainstream media in Europe and the United States no longer lost their voices, and they reported on it, and even the media published cartoons to satirize Pete Winnick.

There is a scent of being pushed by everyone. The feature report of such a big book is also expressing a situation to other manufacturers. When the second and fifth generations end up in the current ASML ending, Luo Sheng has already opened up the entire domestic semiconductor industry chain. I'm working with you, except for fighting, only fighting.

...

Sure enough, ASML did not give up treatment because of this. Pete Weinike began to further self-help, and instead met with the head of its domestic manufacturers, but the negotiation failed. He became a salesman and sold the most to manufacturers including Huaxin International. Advanced lithography equipment.

Everything was considered dead by Luo Sheng.

...

Huahong Semiconductor's internal executive meeting.

"The ASML incident is now full of ups and downs. Pete Wynnick had a closed door on the Côte d’Azur. He was embarrassed and lost his face to the world. Now he is shameless and sells extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, and exports are restricted overnight. Everything is gone, what do you think of this matter?" The head of the head Wang Zong said as he looked at everyone.

Huahong Semiconductor is also a relatively well-known and relatively powerful semiconductor manufacturer in China. This time it also received ASML’s active release of goodwill. As long as Huahong intends to purchase ASML's extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment, it can be sold.

This is not a small temptation for many domestic manufacturers. Get the equipment in advance to supply the market in advance, step by step.

The attending managers expressed their opinions.

"I think this matter needs careful consideration."

"How to say?"

"Pete Winnick is like an ant on a hot pot now-jumping around, although he is now selling the most advanced extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment everywhere, can he really supply domestic manufacturers in the first time? ?"

"I don't think it is necessary. There is even a question mark whether it can be supplied or not. ASML's extreme ultraviolet lithography machine has only come out soon, and some international manufacturers are also queuing. I don't think it is much faster than the efficiency of the Riviera. ."

"Yes, another point that cannot be ignored is that what Pete Weinike is talking about now is actually another matter. The'Batumi Agreement' is there, and North America will do nothing about it? Am I not? Believe it, this incident is very likely to become a farce and even a pit."

"Pete Winnick's promise is more like a bad check, and I have to be careful."

"The most important thing is, what does the Côte d'Azur think about us? Luo Sheng's attitude towards this is very important. Pete Weinike took a closed-door approach with him. This is a posture that he wants to kill ASML and does not hide it. If we get together at this time, wouldn't we just slap Luo Sheng in the face? How will we mix in the country in the future?

"Yes, this is the point that needs to be carefully considered. If it is not possible, it will be like the ASML at this moment. It will be miserable, let alone anything else. Luo Sheng's previously promised $175 billion in special loan funds. It's no use."

"Contact with ASML is very likely to push us to the opposite of Luo Sheng. This is too risky."

Executives attending the meeting, you said and I said, President Wang listened to the debate and analysis of the crowd and nodded secretly. In the end, he immediately made a decision: "This matter, Hua Hong will not join in the excitement. The foreigners turned back and turned their eyes to deny. There are too many human affairs. We are still betting on Mr. Luo's plan for the entire semiconductor industry chain to be safe."

Other executives also nodded their heads to agree to this decision. Now the industry is facing a major reshuffle. Everyone is panicking. The entire industry is in a turbulent situation. The rhythm of the dance of demons, opportunities and challenges in this impetuous environment Coexist, and you can become the ultimate winner after seeing the situation clearly.

Some people met Pete Weinecke and treated him graciously. Some people chose not to see him behind closed doors, and more simply expressed that they were advancing and retreating with Luo Sheng, completely drawing a clear line with Luo Sheng.

These people have all successfully recorded in a small book on the Côte d'Azur. Whoever is a relatively reliable partner in the future has not been recorded.

...

With the passage of time, 2015 finally came to an end, and the time came to 2016.

In the Côte d’Azur headquarters and CEO’s office, Yao Jianhong said to Luo Sheng: “It’s been almost a month since things have been fermenting, and SIA hasn’t responded, nor has it sent anyone over to contact us for negotiations. It’s really calming.”

Luo Sheng said: "Whoever contacts first will be softened, so now it's consuming, then consuming it, there will be results before March at the latest, but it's definitely not our first shot."

The "temporary license" period of Côte d’Azur and Bluestar Technology in North America will end in March. Unless it continues to be extended, Luo Sheng is happy to see it, but the probability of another extension is unlikely. The other party is determined to "go" "Blue star", long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain.

Luo Sheng added: "In this negotiation, if you attend and talk with the old man John of SIA, I will not come forward."

Yao Jianhong: "Me? President Luo, the other party may be unhappy, because the specifications are not equal, they may refuse to negotiate."

Luo Sheng smiled indifferently, and said affirmatively: "Reject? Time will not wait for them, and what I want is that the specifications are not equal. If you come out to talk to them, it means that we are talking with them in a strong manner. The effect is completely different and dealing with foreigners. One thing to understand is that the more you show a strong attitude, the more they will respect you. Although they are very upset, these are two different things, and whether you hate me or not is another."

Yao Jianhong nodded: "It makes sense, then that's it."

After a while, Luo Sheng shifted the topic to another place and said: "How are the ASML matters? Who are they meeting?"

Yao Jianhong smiled and replied: "It has been recorded."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng nodded and said: "Very well, label them accordingly and treat them differently. It just so happens that the first batch of funds for the US$175 billion special corporate lending funds will be implemented soon, and we will start from here. For partners who trust us, They have voted for peaches and plums, and we should also report to Qiong Yao."

Yao Jianhong said: "Where is the grass on the wall?"

Luo Sheng: "We can deal with what we should do. They haven't done anything that is too unreasonable. Business dealings are their right, but it is also our right that we don't want to continue to cooperate with them."

Yao Jianhong: "Understood."
