Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 110 Blocking the Big Net
"Isaac! What do you mean by those upstarts?" The head of the top traditional Manchester City Abu Dhabi consortium in Xizhou mocked Morgan and others.

Obviously, the Xizhou Traditional Consortium is not friendly to the Mi Li Family Consortium. After all, there is only so much wealth in this world. If you eat more, I will eat less.

In recent years, the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly. When Lao Maozi was around, both sides were fighting openly and secretly, let alone now.

Isaac, the head of the Tohir family, thought for a while and said:

"Maybe they are afraid that Dongtang people's semiconductors will overtake them, and they want to pull us together to deal with Yinhe technology. What do you think, Steve?"

Steve Rothschild touched his chin: "In terms of containing the East Tang people, we'd better be consistent with them. After all, that country has developed too fast over the years, and it is also a threat to us."

The others also nodded. After all, they were fighting to the death with those upstarts, but they were brothers after all.

In terms of dealing with Dongtang, the two sides are highly consistent.

"Then agree to cooperate with Morgan and the others, and I will send you the plan later." The head of the Manchester City Abu Dhabi consortium finished speaking and then logged into the dark net.

Soon, the Mi Li Family Consortium and the Xizhou Consortium made their move.

First of all, they refused or tore up contracts for all the precision instruments purchased by Yinhe Technology in foreign countries with various excuses, especially top-level electron microscopes, and not a single part was allowed to be sold to Yinhe Technology.

Enterprises like Sydney and Qualcomm that need foundry chips have been warned not to cooperate with Galaxy Technology.

In addition, ASML also announced the expansion and price reduction of top lithography machines.

It is planned to expand the production of top-level lithography machines to 2018 units in 60, and reduce the price to US$0.8 million per unit.

And announced with great fanfare the development of a new generation of lithography machines.

In addition, in order to suppress the chip foundry business of Galaxy Technology, through the board of directors, they directly reduced the price of chip foundries or packaging and testing companies such as GlobalFoundries, Taiji Electronics, and ASE, and the price reduction ratio reached about 30%.

It can be said that ASML and those chip foundry companies are really selling with tears.

ASML's expansion of top-level lithography machines is mainly to provide top-level equipment to other chip manufacturing companies, enhance the combat effectiveness of these companies, and allow them to suppress Galaxy Semiconductor.

In addition, agents from various countries such as electric vehicles are also looking for excuses for Kayadi, Aima, and Tailing.

Except for the already dominant silicon wafer business and the half-owned battery business, Yinhe Technology's other products are now struggling internationally.

Whether it is electric vehicles, electric vehicles, or fans, motors, no one or they dare not cooperate with Yinhe Technology.

……

"Director Huang! This is the official contract termination letter from Hans Zeiss Company." Li Jianhua handed a document to Huang Haojie.

I took it and flipped through it a few times. Obviously, the reason of the other party is very simple, that is, Yinhe Technology may use their precision instruments in sensitive fields. According to the regulations of the Watson Association, Zeiss refused to supply Yinhe Technology with precision instruments.

"Hmph! These Westerners are obviously desperate. Do they think they can stop Galaxy Technology by doing this?" Huang Haojie sneered.

Of course, Huang Haojie is not a vegetarian for these suppressions.

Directly announced that the price of silicon wafers will increase by 30%. Whether it is Taiji Electric, Powerchip, or GlobalFoundries and Intel, the price of silicon wafers will be raised by 30%.

As for their ban on Yinhe Technology's purchase of precision instruments, Huang Haojie had already taken precautions.

In the past few months, the Galaxy Group has not only been developing chips and the like. For very important instruments such as electron microscopes, Li Jianhua cooperated with Wang Bosi to purchase a batch abroad in advance. Now there are 35 sets in the warehouse of the Galaxy Group. Top-of-the-line electron microscope.

These electron microscopes are one of the key components of the atomic imprinter, and are listed as the three cores of the atomic imprinter along with the atomic imprinting needle and the precision operating system.

Of course, if you just rely on inventory, it will be exhausted sooner or later.

Therefore, another backup method is localization. The Galaxy Group has already merged two domestic electron microscope companies and merged to form the Galaxy Precision Instrument Company.

The electron microscopes for the chip production line are supplied by this subsidiary.At the same time, Xinghe Precision Instrument Co., Ltd. is also developing top-level electron microscopes.

Confrontation and countermeasures are happening all the time. This is the fate of Galaxy Technology. On the way to the top, it is doomed to fight to the death.

……

Sanxin Li Jianxi is also thinking at this moment.

He also received greetings from Morgan and others, but Li Jianxi knew that the current Yinhe Technology was really very difficult to suppress.

Because the models of Yinhe Technology and Sanxin Group are very similar, they are a very closed independent ecology. Just like now, Yinhe Technology can survive without the international market, but the international market has become increasingly inseparable from Thor batteries and neutron star silicon. piece.

Like Tesla and Sydney, if they are asked to give up using Thor batteries now, it is tantamount to letting them harm themselves.

If they lose the Raytheon battery, they will be overwhelmed by Dongtang's enterprises.

As the head of Sanxin Group, Li Jianxi is now in a dilemma.

If you offend Yinhe Technology, you will lose silicon wafers and batteries. Although Sanxin Group can produce these things by itself, their performance cannot be compared with Yinhe Technology.

But refusing Morgan and others would offend Mi Li's consortium. These guys can make Sanxin's products lose most of the international market in an instant.

Li Jianxi is really helpless. It would be great if Gaoli was as big as Dongtang. With the domestic market, he could be self-sufficient and thus be invincible.

However, Colliers' domestic market is pitifully small, and most of Sanxin's profits depend on international trade. Once it loses the international market, it may go into shock instantly.

We can only have both ways for the time being, Li Jianxi pressed his temple.

……

Panasonic Corporation.

"President! This is the new generation of lithium battery we developed, with an energy density of 280 Wh per kilogram." Dr. Xixiang was excitedly introducing it to Matsushita Hirata.

Panasonic Hirata was not too happy. The high energy density means that the power of the battery explosion may also increase.

"Dr. Xixiang! How safe is this lithium battery?"

"President, don't worry, this time our laboratory has fully upgraded the safety performance of lithium batteries to ensure that there will be no problems." Dr. Xixiang explained vowedly.

Panasonic Hirata flipped through the brief introduction of the lithium battery, and suddenly saw the item of charging speed, he frowned and asked:
"Dr. Saigo! Why has the charging speed dropped by 20% compared to the previous generation?"

"Eh..." Dr. Xixiang was obviously a little embarrassed, and then explained hesitantly:

"President, this, this..."

"What is this? Can you explain clearly?" Matsushita Hirata asked loudly angrily.

grunt!Dr. Xixiang hurriedly explained embarrassingly:

"President, this is because the energy density of the battery needs to be increased. If the charging speed is too fast, it may create uncertain factors and increase the risk of battery explosion."

"Then the energy density has increased, so what's the use? The Raytheon battery can be fully charged in a few minutes, but yours takes five or six hours. What can we use to compete with the Raytheon battery? Tell me?" Panasonic Hirata asked angrily. .

"Actually, we can make the battery smaller, and then realize fast charging through integration and electronic control." Dr. Xixiang quickly suggested.

"What about the cost?" Matsushita Hirata is now more concerned about another issue.
