Chapter 386: [Negotiation of lithography machine]

Latest website: Pengcheng, Tencent headquarters.
"Instant messaging has come to the next outlet, and the user base of mobile Internet is exploding. The layout here will determine our position in the social field, whether to continue to consolidate, expand or exit."
Tencent's internal executive meeting is underway, and Xiao Ma speaks with a serious expression.
The sense of crisis is always around for the heads of these large companies. The rapid changes of the times make them very anxious, even if they are already in the top ranks, because they are afraid to miss the opportunity and lose everything they have achieved today. achievement.
How powerful the portal was then, it was finally replaced by a search engine. The favorite thing to be taken out by the big guys was the decline of Yahoo and the rise of Google.
The attending Xu Chenghua took out a material and said, "The name 'WeChat' has been squatted."
Pony looked at him immediately: "Has been squatted?"
Xu Chenghua nodded and said affirmatively: "And it is Bluestar Technology."
A senior executive at the meeting said suddenly, "No, it is so coincident? Did the news leak?"
Xu Chenghua shook his head: "No, because the registration time is earlier than our internal negotiation."
An executive said: "That ’s a coincidence. It ’s really fast. It is certain that Bluestar Technology is quietly starting to make a new layout, and the response speed is much faster than us. Will it create a new social network again? product?"
Everyone looked at each other, and it was obvious that this was very possible, and even highly aligned with Tengxun's upcoming strategy.
This is not good news.
Teng Xun has long realized the crisis. Xiaomao has let Zhang Xiaolong and others secretly develop a product, which is carried out by multiple teams at the same time. Whoever first comes up with a solution will go on line, and this product is based on the flagship Social products for mobile internet.
"It's a cybersquatting. You can only change to a new one. It's called 'Weichao'." The little whispered pony said suddenly.
So, a new social product owned by Tencent is settled.
And it is clear that, even if it is not afraid of the powerful competitor Bluestar Technology, it almost matches the name of "WeChat".
Tencent's executive meeting soon ended and the company's new strategy was established.
In the era of the strong and the strong, Bluestar Technology has been the superpower in the social field so far. It is the number one player in this field that has expanded to the world. The advantage is self-evident.
In addition, there are technical advantages. Tencent's "Weichao" will go online as soon as the end of the year, and Xiaomi's "Michao" is similar, but Bluestar Technology's "Wechat" can go online during the first half of the year.
With a huge user base, coupled with the launch almost six months ahead of the competition, this is already a very good lead.
Not to mention Luo Sheng's prophets, this is the biggest disadvantage of competitors.
In the field of instant messaging, a new round of melee is about to enter. In the end, who can stand out in the era of mobile Internet? In the current situation, it can only be said that there are opportunities. The main battlefield this time is no longer the PC Internet, but the mobile Internet.
...
On Wednesday, a special plane from Peter Wienick, the head of Dutch technology company Esmore AL, landed at Shencheng International Airport, stayed at the hotel for a night, turned over the jet lag, and went to Sioux City to meet Luo Sheng the next day.
The next day, the Science and Technology Complex, Peter Wenik came here to meet Luo Sheng.
In the morning, the two sides met in the large living room, Qin Weimu was present, and Liu Yixuan, who was in charge of Xiongxin Electronics, was also present.
"Mr. Winnick, it was already negotiated in November last year, and the contracts have been initialed. The 45-nanometer lithography equipment will be delivered to Xiongxin Electronics in January this year. This has already been delayed until February. What does it mean?" Luo Sheng opened his eyes and expressed his dissatisfaction.
Peter Winnick hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm so sorry Mr. Luo, this is also the purpose of my trip. I said in my speech about AL's annual results announcement that we will deliver 45nm lithography equipment, but Authorities in the Netherlands have withheld licenses for exporting lithography equipment to China, which occurred under pressure from Americans. North American authorities claim that this is a strategic product. At the same time, Americans are also worried about competition from China. Delivery can lead to technology theft. "
The implication is that this is not my pot.
"Don't come to this set. The previous negotiation has been very clear. Through the Fi patent swap, if you regret it, then I also have to say sorry, I can only take back all the patented technology of Fi." Luo Sheng glanced at the other side lightly , Added: "Semiconductor chips cannot bypass Moore's Law. This patent system that bypasses me only exists in theory, but I can reproduce it with lithography machines."
When he heard the last sentence, Peter Winick laughed and said with confidence: "No, Mr. Luo, I can clearly point out that high-end lithography equipment can never be copied. If I guess correctly, your country There have been attempts to replicate the actions of lithography machines, but they have not been successful. You can try to duplicate parts and then assemble them, but without the guidance of our system engineers and software experts, the machine will not work. "
Peter Winnick seemed a little proud, and only saw him very happy to explain why he was not afraid at all, saying:
"Mr. Luo, we are a system integrator. We integrate the technology of hundreds of companies to serve our customers. A lithography machine is composed of 80,000 parts, many of which are very complex. Take Zeiss as an example. We make lenses, mirrors and other optical components for us, and no company in the world can imitate them. In addition, our machines are fully equipped with sensors, and if abnormal conditions are detected, the headquarters will sound an alarm. "
Speaking of which, Peter Weinicker is getting more and more inflated: "Maybe you have good regulations, but it will never be possible to carry out this operation in secret. Many experts must be involved. Assuming they succeed, they will bring a lot to the market. The source chip could not be traced and it was finally revealed. We have been following the market dynamics for a long time, and of course we are also familiar with the intellectual property laws of each country where our products are exported. "
Luo Sheng immediately said: "You seem to have forgotten a bit, Mr. Winnick, the future of manufacturing is an era of overcapacity, and whoever has the potential for consumption has bargaining power. And where you are standing now is the world's largest chip consumer The market, at the level of hundreds of billions of dollars, already accounts for more than 50% of the global chip consumer market, and it will increase further in the future. Now that you are familiar with the intellectual property laws of each country, there is no need for me to explain the laws in China. "
Winnick's smile was lost, but he was relieved soon, and laughed: "Mr. Luo, rest assured, AL treats customers all over the world equally, but according to the Wassenaar agreement, AL exports high-end lithography machines to China to obtain Export authorization from the Dutch authorities. "
The implication is that we actually want to sell AL, but we cannot help ourselves.
However, Winnick's attitude suddenly euphemistically ~ EbookFREE.me ~ also did not dare to say too much. One of the key reasons is that the person in front of him is Luo Sheng, who is the most representative in Huaguo and even in the world today. He is a technology big coffee, and his technology companies have created many world-leading technologies.
For example, Star-Cloud, the world ’s largest cloud player, is the number one player in the global cloud computing field, and the Fi patent barriers built are beyond the expectations of the semiconductor industry, and SIA has been caught off guard.
In fact, until now, semiconductor companies in Europe and the United States, such as Intel, can develop Fi-related technologies by themselves, but if the patent law is ignored, the impact on intellectual property rights is incalculable.
Intellectual property is the rule of the game developed by Europeans and Americans, and it is the biggest beneficiary. It will never hurt. The resistance is unimaginable.
At the end, Luo Sheng exerted extremely strong reverse pressure: "Mr. Winnick, I don't care whether your factory is on fire or because the Dutch authorities haven't given permission. I don't care. I only care if you do n’t pay before the end of the first quarter of this year. I will definitely withdraw my patent, and at the same time develop the lithography machine myself. For at least three years, you can try it. "
