There's a black hole inside me

soon.

The time comes on November 10th.

After nearly three months.

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

Two were built at once.

After some testing, the performance indicators of the two new Tyrannosaurus EUVs have been improved due to the use of a higher proportion of domestically produced high-precision parts (that is, Weimingshen-level polished parts).

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 violent mode has been increased from 10 minutes to 30 minutes.

Taken together, the working efficiency of one improved version of Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus is comparable to that of three EsMed 3800i.

The starting price remains unchanged at 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 still more cost-effective.

Because of the use of Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus, 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 precision is higher, which can significantly improve the chip yield.

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

Come in droves.

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

Temporary auction venue.

After several rounds of price increases.

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

The second Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus was purchased by Blu-ray Group for 2.538 billion yuan.

Someone may feel something is wrong.

Why is it sold so cheaply?

You must know that the first Tyrannosaurus EUV was bought by Longyao Company for a sky-high price of 5 billion yuan. Later, it was discounted by 10%, and 4.5 billion cash was actually paid before the lithography machine was taken away.

The performance of the Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus is more powerful, and its parameters are more terrifying. Why is it not sold at a higher price, but is obviously much cheaper?

compete.

Because there are competitive factors.

EsMed’s 3800i EUV has sufficient stock, short waiting time, and cheap price. Although the Tyrannosaurus EUV-plus is more powerful, once the price exceeds 2.5 billion, it does not look good. It is better to consider EsMed. The product.

besides.

Although there were 38 domestic chip companies that came to participate in the bidding, 16 of them were officially disqualified from bidding before the bidding started. Only 22 companies were actually qualified to bid.

"Why were we disqualified from bidding? Why were we not allowed to participate?" a representative from Shengtang Semiconductor loudly questioned.

"We are all Chinese companies, why should we be treated differently?" A representative from another semiconductor company was also very dissatisfied.

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

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

"Haha, the reason?"

Qi Xiong, the deputy manager of Black Hole Technology, looked at them with a sneer and said: "Shengtang Semiconductor, with more than 5 billion in funds from domestic investors, went to ASMED to place an order for two 3800i units last month, and also went to several American companies to place an order. Semiconductor companies have purchased a large amount of materials and equipment and plan to build two high-end chip production lines.”

“Deyao Semiconductor, the domestic 45nm lithography machine from Modu Microelectronics, only sells for 80 million. You failed to lower the price to 60 million, so you just spent 120 million to order a same type of lithography machine from EsMed. The performance of the engraving machine is almost the same. You would rather spend an extra 40 million than give a chance to the domestic lithography machine.”

"Lianxiang Storage Company claims to be a national brand, but all its production lines adopt 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 embarked on the road of Chineseization. Your company The price of solid-state drives in China is 50% more expensive than abroad. Why did you come to participate in this auction? Is it to steal business intelligence? "

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

"Please come back!"

Qi Xiong issued an order to expel guests.

Representatives of these 16 companies were immediately furious.

"Arrogant, arrogant!"

"Don't think that building an EUV is a big deal."

"Western technology is still many years ahead of us. We must remain inclusive and open and continue to embrace the most advanced Western technology instead of embracing backwardness!"

"Black Hole Technology, you are taking a dead end, and you will not end well!"

"Let's go, you're stupid and ignorant, it's okay if you don't wait!"

"Within three years, black hole technology will collapse!"

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

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

…

After the auction ended.

Wei Ming met with representatives from Huaxin International and Blueray Group.

“Mr. Wei, can you give us a discount on the price of the lithography machine? I heard that you gave us a 10% discount on the Tyrannosaurus EUV that Longyao Company bought last time.” The representative of Huaxin International said.

“The internal complexity of Tyrannosaurus EUV is less than that of ASMI’s EUV, and the manufacturing cost should be lower. Mr. Wei, 2.538 billion, Blueray Group has been losing money for seven or eight years in a row, and it is difficult to take out so much cash. Can you give us a discount?”

The representative of Blueray 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 when purchasing products from Black Hole Technology." "Great, thank you, President Wei!" "Thank you, President Wei, thank you, President Wei!" The two representatives were overjoyed. With just this promise, their companies saved more than 200 million yuan each. "But!" Wei Ming emphasized again, "You all saw that the 16 company representatives were expelled this morning? Black Hole Technology's attitude is very firm. Other products will not be taken care of for the time being, but for EUV lithography machines, those who want to buy Tyrannosaurus EUV should not think about buying EUV from foreign companies. You can only choose one of the two." "If you enjoy the discount, please remember the rules of Black Hole Technology. Don't be indecisive and do things I don't want to see, otherwise don't blame me for turning against you." He issued a serious warning. "I know. With Tyrannosaurus EUV, we will not consider any foreign products."

"When Black Hole Technology Company is available, we will only buy your company's products; when we are in the strategic alliance, we will only consider the strategic alliance's products!"

The two representatives made assurances.
