A week later.
South Korea, Samsung Electronics.
Shen Zhongjun sat alone in his office without saying a word, sometimes frowning, sometimes expecting.
This year is coming to an end. As the co-CEO, the shipment of Samsung Electronics' mobile phones under the leadership of Shen Zhongjun is expected to decline for the second consecutive year this year, and the profit will hit the lowest record in four years.
In accordance with established practice, the Samsung Group will replace the executives of its subsidiaries every year, and this week's assessment will be more thorough.
Shen Zhongjun knows that this year is different from last year. Last year, Samsung Group ’s old head was hospitalized. Li Zairong, the vice chairman, took over this huge Samsung empire. He chose to keep most of the executives of Samsung ’s major subsidiaries unchanged.
This year is different. Since Samsung ’s mobile phone market share is expected to decline for the third consecutive year, Shen Zhongjun feels that Li Zairong may soon take more radical measures to highlight his position in the Samsung empire and proposes the company ’s Future development strategy.
Shen Zhongjun knew that he was able to keep his position last year, which does not mean that this year would be possible. Last year, Li Zairong took over Samsung only half a year, so he chose stability without much action.
Although Li Zairong is currently the vice chairman of Samsung Group, it is only a matter of time to be chairman. Whether it is inside or outside the Samsung Group, everyone knows that today ’s Samsung is actually Li Zairong ’s Samsung.
Shen Zhongjun thought that there was no room for recovery if he was dumped. After all, the performance in these years is really unsightly. Samsung ’s profit this year will fall by about 8% year-on-year, the lowest level since 2011, which is dragged down by the mobile business. Growth.
Samsung's mobile phone market in the Greater China region, the world's largest smartphone market, can be said to be a complete failure. In the past few years, with the Samsung brand, it was able to get 10% market share. Many people bought it. Today, it is only 1.2. % Or so.
And in the global market, it can't do the industry's first Azure mobile phone, and the second iPhone can't do it. Although it makes it a loud title with the third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, it can't cover its decline. The decline in performance is The best example.
With Li Zairong's character, he will definitely not let those senior officials stay in place, especially the executives of the mobile business department.
But what happened recently let him see the hope of Samsung ’s mobile phone growth, and also let Shen Zhongjun see the hope, and also rekindled his hope for his future. That is the industry ’s first Azure smartphone terminal equipment manufacturer, Azure Coast. Fall into a crisis of losing supply.
This is not just an opportunity for Samsung mobile phones, it can be said to be an opportunity for all smartphone manufacturers in the world. To know that 80% of the profits of this industry have been taken by the Cote d’ Azur, even if it is about 20%, the performance reports of other manufacturers Will be extremely dazzling.
Shen Zhongjun can also take this opportunity to restore the decline of Samsung's mobile business and achieve growth, so that his position can be retained.
"Let the sanctions be more violent and faster," Shen Zhongjun muttered to himself.
Just then, his assistant knocked on the door and entered the office, and came with a paper newspaper of KBS.
"President, the semiconductor industry is about to change. You better read this news."
Shen Zhongjun saw his assistant's urgent face, but he didn't say anything, but grabbed the newspaper sent by the other party. The headline headline of KBS media was-"Purple Star Lithography Machine, Jedi Counterattack on the Azure Coast , This EUV lithography machine is more advanced than ASML! "
When she saw the title, Shen Zhongjun was shocked.
"Ah, is there any fake news in media like KBS?"
This was his first reaction to seeing the title.
His assistant immediately said: "The President, Your Excellency President has issued a notice, and an emergency internal meeting will be held half an hour later."
"How is this possible? How is this possible? How could Chinese people develop EUV lithography machines that are more advanced than ASML? This is not scientific ..."
Shen Zhongjun was at a loss when he looked at the detailed report of the newspaper content, and this news was definitely a blow to him.
Not only that, but the news revealed that Samsung ’s mobile business department is not only hopeless to recover from the decline, but also has a huge impact on the entire Samsung empire. Samsung Group is not just a mobile phone, but Samsung Semiconductor is its core business, such as chip manufacturing .
No wonder Li Zairong held the internal consultation of the emergency meeting for the first time.
...
Intel Semiconductor (China) Co., Ltd.
The Cote d’ Azur company has basically implemented self-research replacement or non-North American supplier switching on the IC design side, but the manufacturing side still highly relies on the accumulation of power, and the upstream semiconductor equipment and EDA software are still monopolized by three North American companies Cadence, Synopsys and Mentor It is difficult to completely replace in the short term. "
At the moment, Yang Xu, president of Intel Semiconductor Greater China and global vice president, is having a video conference with the company's headquarters. He is solely responsible for Intel's business in Greater China and can talk directly to Intel headquarters.
Yang Xu is right. At present, a large number of chips have been self-developed on the Côte d'Azur, but the manufacturing link is still highly dependent on the accumulation of power. It is the main bottleneck in its industrial chain and its weak link, which has become a key breakthrough.
Once the manufacturing process can no longer continue to place orders, and the technical foundation and production capacity of Xiongxin Electronics founded by Luo Sheng itself still need a certain time to catch up, its large number of self-developed chips will not be able to achieve mass production and application. For the market supply, the design of Niubi is also in vain.
In the video, a foreign face wearing a suit and leather said lightly: "In terms of semiconductor equipment, American manufacturers currently occupy 44% of the industry's market share, including key processes such as deposition, etching, ion implantation, CMP, cleaning, and inspection. Leading process technology advantages and stability. Losing the supply of these manufacturers, Luo Sheng ’s dream of an independent semiconductor full industry chain plan will soon be broken. "
Another foreigner said happily: "I heard that he has invested 500 billion US dollars in the past six years. Damn, it is indeed very rich, but it is destined to be all drifting. I am distressed for him. This is 500 billion. U.S. dollars! "
Faced with the gloating of the senior management of Intel headquarters, Yang Xu calmly said: "As the position of Intel ’s employees and competitors, I should be happy about the recent bad situation on the Côte d’ Azur because it benefits Intel, but as a Chinese I admire Luo Sheng very much, and in terms of personal emotions, I hope he can win, at least not so badly. "
Hearing this, several Intel executives in the video didn't mock, and they were also reckless about Yang Xu's remarks.
At this time, Intel's head looked at him and said: "Yang, don't put your personal emotions into it. Your position makes me uneasy."
Yang Xu said: "I know exactly where my sits, Luo Sheng will not pay me a salary."
The foreigners in the video laughed.
That's right.
After a while, Yang Xu ’s mobile phone vibrated. He took it out and looked at it. It was a text message sent by his assistant. Because he was in a video conference at the moment, he did n’t come in or called.
"what?"
When he saw the content in the text message, Yang Xu's expression was stunned.
Several foreigners were puzzled when they saw Yang Xu's expression on the screen.
"Yang, what happened? I don't like your reaction very much."
Yang Xu was taken back by this voice, silent for a moment, and then looked up at the participants in the video conference and said, "I just received the message. You may dislike it more, man."
"Oh? Listening to you mean bad news?" Intel's head curiously said.
Yang Xu took a long breath, sighed, and immediately looked at a group of foreigners and said: "You, the global semiconductor industry chain is about to set off a huge wave. Just just now, the Côte d'Azur exposed their R & D extreme ultraviolet lithography machine. The successful news has all its names, called 'Zixing Lithography Machine'. ASML did not achieve the 250 watt light source power but the Zixing Lithography Machine achieved it, with a throughput of 155 wafers per hour. "
After listening to Yang Xu ’s remarks, the Intel executives in the video conference collectively lost their voices for a second or two, but only a second or two broke the quiet atmosphere.
"What?"
"Areyoukidding (an international joke)"
"Yang, are you entertaining us?"
"Today is not April Fools' Day."
Yang Xu was not surprised to see their reaction. His shock just now was more than this, except that as a Chinese, the subtle side would not be so unrestrained to foreigners.
It was also an involuntary wry smile that shook his head. He was just saying that he hoped that Luo Sheng would not be defeated too badly. As a result, such a fierce face came.
Immediately: "This is the fact. The Cote d'Azur has been officially exposed, and Luo Sheng's miracle is still continuing. Our media has been blown up by this news ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Now it is full of reports , I believe it will be spread all over in a few minutes ... "
Before the words were finished, a foreigner on the video screen exclaimed: "Damn, how is this possible?"
Yang Xu saw that the other party seemed to be looking at the computer message or the screen. In short, his attention was elsewhere, and he must have seen the relevant message.
This is indeed the case. Although the Western Hemisphere is currently late at night, the foreign news agency quoted the report as soon as possible. This news spread all over the world at once, and industry insiders were informed of the news as soon as possible.
Yang Xu looked at everyone's reaction, spread his hands flat, shrugged and put it down again.
They had obviously received the news, and the province wasted their own saliva.
At this moment, the azure coast suddenly exposed the news of the purple star lithography machine in high-profile, the industry media and all relevant practitioners have exploded.
