Chapter 91: Siege

On December 8th, according to a predetermined plan, the photoresist battle was launched.
Xinyang, Boyue, Ruihong, Science and Technology, and domestically-made four factories took the lead in launching goods, and the first wave of offensive killed the domestic market.
As a semiconductor consumable, the war in the photoresist industry is completely different from the rhythm of the mobile phone industry.
After all, photoresists have no way to advertise, fight for marketing, let alone launch a new product conference, and ordinary consumers will never know the existence of this war.
However, inside the technology circle, the news that the four major domestic factories began to release goods was like a deep-water bomb that quickly attracted everyone's attention.
After all, this is a photoresist. A typical high-precision product, without a photoresist, do n’t even think about making any chips. This is the lifeblood of the semiconductor industry and the display industry.
Moreover, this is the first time in history that our country's manufacturers have entered the upstream of semiconductors.
For a while, the number of online professionals in major professional forums skyrocketed, and everyone was anxiously waiting for news.
"SMIC has officially received the supply from the four major factories and is doing testing!"
"Boe has also received it, the lab is working overtime tonight!"
的 Netizens working in major semiconductor factories or panel factories began to report to the onlookers. Whenever a new news came, the forum would frantically follow.
Products that have reached the pinnacle of the technology industry have never had a second way, except for performance and price.
It ’s useless to use domestically produced signs. If the performance is not up to standard, SMIC will not buy even a ton of products. Even in this field, the fight is strength!
"Huaxing Optoelectronics has received the goods!"
"Yangtze River Storage starts testing!"
"Minnan Jinhua starts testing!"
With more and more recent news coming, major forums have completely exploded.
Although the star technology that everyone is most concerned about has not yet officially entered the market, the four major photoresist factories have already made a splash. Within a day, all domestic photoresist factories have arrived.
On-line inspection will be carried out upon arrival. This is the key part. If the test performance meets the standards, domestic manufacturers will be happy to make domestic replacements.
四 The four major domestic factories are different from Xingchen Technology. They have mature production lines and labor, there is no cost problem, and they are even lower in cost than overseas manufacturers and have an advantage in price.
In the next week, domestic semiconductor people will feel as happy as the New Year.
The test results show that the performance of the six grades of photoresist produced by the four major factories is not inferior to the imported goods, and even on some technical indicators, the price is better than the imported goods.
According to business logic, even if the test is qualified, it is not possible to replace the imported goods on the production line with domestic products in such a short period of time.
But there are exceptions to everything. Domestic manufacturers can't find a reason not to support domestic products, so they have signed supply contracts with the four major photoresist factories.
Time is also a coincidence. Usually, the supply of such high-precision raw materials must be signed in advance. The contract is valid for a year or two and a quarter.
The time of delivery of the four major factories is just at the end of the year, the old contract is about to end, and the new contract has not yet been signed.
More and more good news is coming, led by SMIC and BOE, domestic customers using photoresist have signed the next year's supply contracts with the four major domestic manufacturers led by Xinyang.
Although it has long been expected that domestic manufacturers will definitely support domestic photoresists, such good news has continued to excite the domestic technology circle.
Unfortunately, the good times are not long. After the four major factories have completed the heavy domestic distribution, they tried to kill the international market, but in the international market, they have suffered a fiasco without exception.
Even if the price is slightly lower than the international giants, overseas manufacturers are still unwilling to replace the neon goods they are using with products from Huaxia.
The big factories in Shaukeiwan Bay, TSMC, TSMC, CPT, etc., all said that the matter of changing suppliers must be carefully and carefully, and follow the process to conduct small batch trials.
Their prudence can understand, after all, domestic manufacturers have no previous experience in global supply, and they haven't said anything to death. They can't rush everything, they must take their time.
The most violent reactions were from South Korean manufacturers, Samsung, LG, and Hynix. They said that even if they die, they will not use Huaxia photoresist. In the photoresist field, they only use Dongjin Chemical And LG Chem products.
Although the attempt to enter the international market has been thwarted, no matter what, at least the country has fully blossomed, and my colleagues in the technology circle are still very proud.
The only thing that puzzled them was that Star Wars, the initiator of this war, where did they go?
Uh ...
圣 Santa Clara, California, USA.
When Luan Ran and Zhang Dongning came here, it was December 20th, Western Time, and it was Christmas in a few days. The streets were lit with lights on the sides, and the Christmas trees were lit up at the entrances of major technology companies.
The festival atmosphere is strong, the only drawback is that there is no snow in California and no reindeer pulling a sleigh.
Tong Anran and Zhang Dongning rented a Lincoln car at the airport. They didn't even go to the hotel to store their luggage and went directly to Silicon Valley.
For this, Enron is a revisited place. He had an internship in Silicon Valley for a period of time and received invitations from many world-renowned companies. However, in the end, he chose to return to China.
Now think about it, that might be the wisest decision in Enron's life. As soon as he returned to China, he met Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The two deans introduced him to Luo Jia.
An Ran did it with a mentality of trying, and now he is Luo Jia's left and right arm, and one of the most popular figures in China and even in the global technology circle.
The car stopped in the parking lot, Enron pointed to a white building a few hundred meters away, and said to Zhang Dongning, "Look, that's AMD's headquarters, the building on the right is Nvidia, and the parking lot at our feet belongs to Intel Corporation. . "
Zhang Dongning said for a moment, "These three companies are deadly opponents. They are so close to each other that they can see each other in the office!"
Enron smiled, "This is Silicon Valley, the flagship of the global high-tech industry. Where we stand, there are more than 40,000 high-tech companies. Just one Santa Clara county ’s GDP accounts for 100% of the entire United States. Four-sevenths. "
"The average age of people living here is only 29 years old, but it is the place with the most millionaires in the world, and every square kilometer of land here can create 80.5 billion output values!"
Zhang Dongning was startled first, and then the whole person was excited. "As you say, today is a memorable day. After all, this is the first time since the founding of our company, from eastern China to the headquarters of the technology industry!"
An Ran laughed. He walked side by side with Zhang Dongning and came outside Intel's global headquarters. He was stopped by two plump black guards.
Maybe it's Christmas. They are wearing blue police uniforms and Colt pistols around their waists, but they are wearing red Christmas hats.
"Mr. Who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?" The guard stopped An Ran and Zhang Dongning.
"Please inform Mr. Seg Horton that Huaxia Xingchen Technology is visiting." Enron replied in skilled English.
