"Jiuwei Group and Cologne Group have reached a strategic cooperation agreement, and the Cologne Group will make every effort to guarantee the supply of high-end chips from Jiuwei."

"Jiuwei is supported by the Cologne Group, and the restrictions imposed by the U.S. region on Jiuwei are no longer useful."

"The Cologne Group has become Kyushu's largest chip foundry company, and 7nm chips can already be mass-produced."

"Affected by the Cologne Group, the share prices of many chip companies in the US have fallen sharply."

"According to many media reports in the US, the 7nm process promoted by the Cologne Group is purely in a lot of moisture, which is not up to international standards.

"The Dutch company Ames issued an announcement that they suspected that the Cologne Group had stolen their technology and had applied to the relevant departments of Kyushu to investigate the specific source of the Cologne Group's equipment."

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyushu stated that the allegations made by Ames are purely groundless, and Kyushu will not approve the application for investigation of the Cologne Group."

"..."

Although the development of the domestic chip industry has reached the world's leading level in terms of design, its manufacturing is still restricted by companies in the United States. Now, after the domestic Cologne Group has the most advanced EUV lithography machine, it is important for the entire chip industry. It is tantamount to a major earthquake. In the past, domestic companies who wanted to produce the most cutting-edge chips could only find companies controlled by the US. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem, but once the US is unhappy, you will It's very uncomfortable.

Take the Jiuwei mobile phone as an example. It has already achieved the number one position in the world. However, under the malicious suppression of security in the United States, the chip supply was directly cut off, causing the supply chain of Jiuwei to collapse and the world’s first place The position had to be given up, and at the same time, the economic losses suffered were even more immeasurable. There are many companies similar to Jiuwei. Once the United States sees anyone upset, a restriction can cause the company to suffer a disaster.

Now that the Cologne Group mass-produces 7nm chips, there is no need to worry about getting stuck in the US. It is only a matter of time before Jiuwei’s mobile phone business returns to the top of the world.

Regarding how the EUV lithography machine obtained by the Cologne Group was not only speculated by many foreign companies and media, but also many people in China were secretly investigating. Qin Jian soon received a call from Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen said on the phone: "I can't stand it anymore. Archon Wu Zhengshan has already talked to me for a second time. Hearing what he meant, I already knew that I got the EUV lithography machine from you. I was invited by Ma Yu just now and asked me to attend his Wuzhou Entrepreneur Gathering in Donghu Courtyard. Wu Zhengshan will also go there. This gathering is obviously for me."

Qin Jian smiled at this time: "Wu Zhengshan is the consul of Wu Zhou after all. It is good that you can support it for so long without letting go. Since you can't keep it, you don't have to hide it. There is actually nothing to hide. , Wu Zhengshan is asking, you just said you bought it from me."

Zhu Chen heard his words and said loosely: "Thank you for your understanding, but don't worry. Wu Zhengshan just wants to get more EVU lithography machines from you. Well, can you still get it? I asked before. Hanlin, he said he only talks to you."

Qin Jian smiled and said: "There is no hope in this short period of time, at least it will be a year later."

Zhu Chen heard this and said disappointedly: "Okay, I see."

Hanging up the phone, Qin Jian sneered in his heart. Zhu Chen is still thinking of asking for a few EVU lithography machines. This is a good saying, and there are not enough people to talk about it. What Wu Zhengshan talks about is just an excuse. I want to use Wu Zhengshan to press me down. This Zhu Chen is really personal. 8 EVU lithography machines can’t be fed enough. It seems that this person can’t have a deep friendship. That’s all for personal relations, except for business dealings in the future. , Everything else is forbidden to talk about.

...

Not long after Zhu Chen hung up here, the office door was knocked.

Qin Jian said, "Go in" and Wang Da opened the door and came in.

He came to Qin Jian’s table and said in a deep voice: "Boss, I just received news that Microwindow has developed a 3D projection device, the effect is similar to our Vientiane Life and Death Disk. They plan to hold a product launch in three days Will be officially listed."

Qin Jian asked: "Are you sure?"

Wang Da nodded and said, "There is nothing wrong with this. This message was sent by a president of WeChat. There is also a video, you can take a look."

Wang Da said, handing over the phone.

Qin Jian took it and clicked to play.

The length of the video is not big, only 20 seconds, but it is enough for Qin Jian to see clearly.

Qin Jian nodded and said: "Three years is indeed enough time for them to develop similar technologies."

Wang Da said at this time: "Boss, this is what I think. Since foreign countries have developed relevant technologies, the technical advantage of Vientiane Life and Death Disk is not great. If this is the case, let's completely release the low-end market. Open, what do you think."

Qin Jian nodded and said, "Okay."

Wang Daxin said with joy: "Then I will lower the price of the product, p1 to 800 yuan, p2 to 1,800 yuan, and p3 to 4,800 yuan. I am releasing a new product p4, priced at 9,800 yuan."

Qin Jian nodded when he heard the words, then shook his head again.

Wang Da said in a puzzled way: "Boss, what do you mean?"

Qin Jian explained: "There is no problem with price reduction, but there is no need for new products to be released."

Wang Da heard the words fiercely and loudly: "Boss, do you mean to directly produce next-generation products?"

Qin Jian nodded and said: "Yes, since foreign countries have developed relevant technologies, then we will use prices to beat them to death. The new generation of products is coming online at this time. I want to see what these foreign companies will do. do?"

Wang Da smiled and said, "Boss, you are trying to make them exhausted. The technology that has been developed with great difficulty has no profit at all, and we are launching the next generation of products. They either choose to continue to invest heavily in research, or Give up completely."

Qin Jian nodded and said: "You are right, I just want foreign companies to be exhausted."

Wang Da nodded and said: "Okay, I see, I will notify the supply chain immediately to gradually transfer production capacity to a new generation of products."

"Yeah!" Qin Jian nodded and asked, "How is the construction of our own factory?"

Wang Da smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry, I have been focusing on the factory during this time. The three super factories have reached the final stage, and 50% of the production capacity will be transferred to the super factories."

Qin Jian said with satisfaction: "Well, although Ye Mingzhe said that he has been very happy to cooperate with us in the past few years, he is not his own after all, and this capacity cannot be put in his hands, especially the new generation of products."

Wang Da said solemnly: "I understand."

Qin Jian nodded and said: "It's okay to understand, that's it, you can go ahead."

Wang Da said at this time: "Boss, do you participate in that new product industry federation?"

Qin Jian smiled and said, "Why, you have no confidence."

Wang Da grinned and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to live with those people. If you are okay, come here. Just sit there and leave the rest to me. I promise you will do it properly. of."

Qin Jian sighed and said, "Okay, I will give you a place in town when the time comes."

Wang Da smiled and said, "Great, then I won't bother you."
