Chapter 290
This press conference of Mengyuan Group has attracted worldwide attention.

Because all high-tech companies at home and abroad are paying attention to them to see if they have the ability to break the monopoly of American companies.

The results surprised them.

Mengyuan Group really has that ability.

And they are also incredibly powerful.

For a time, Mengyuan Group instantly became the most concerned high-tech enterprise in the world.

Many mobile phone manufacturers and home appliance manufacturers have gone to Jiankangfei in Zhuxia, hoping to get chips and lithium-sulfur batteries from Mengyuan Group.

American high-tech companies turned green when they heard the news.

But it's not impossible to continue.

It's a pity that this company is not listed, otherwise those who speculate in stocks will make a lot of money.

A reporter also interviewed Shen Yi about this issue. Shen Yi made it very clear. He said that Mengyuan Group will never go public, and if it goes public, it will only be a branch of Mengyuan Group.

The most likely one is Mengyuan Communication Technology Company, a branch company that makes mobile phones.

But many people understand that this branch is not worth much money, because of those semiconductor companies, new energy companies, and optical sensor companies.

All of them are small companies belonging to Mengyuan Group, just like Mengyuan Communication Technology Company.

People have vague speculation that if Shen Yi's current company has been listed, its market value will definitely surpass Apple and Four Star.

Shen Yi, who controls more than 99% of the shares, will definitely become the richest man in the world.

Domestic residents are proud of Mengyuan.

But the good times didn't last long, 7 days after Mengyuan Group's opening and release on July 18.

From the United States, there was news that TSMC and Four Star Group banned foundry chips from Mengyuan Group.

This news is even more of a blockbuster.

Because it declares that those high-tech companies in the United States have not stopped persecuting Mengyuan because of this press conference.

Instead, they intensified their efforts and directly banned TSMC and Four Star from manufacturing chips for them.

This also means that Mengyuan Group will not be able to export its latest chips next year. The chips of Mengyuan Group are several generations ahead of its competitors.

If after all, their mobile phone business will also fall apart, and they will be scrapped directly in the chip industry.

Some knowledgeable people know that chips are actually relatively easy to manufacture. The most important thing is that the lithography machine that makes chips is difficult to manufacture.

The lithography machine is the most critical and important thing in the entire chip manufacturing process.

The lithography machine can be described as the crystallization of the wisdom of all mankind. No country can independently manufacture a top-notch lithography machine, which includes high-end technologies in almost all fields.

A lithography machine is bigger than a bus.

There are more than 10 parts in it, and at least three cargo planes are needed for transportation.

You know, Mengyuan's chip is larger than a fingernail, but it has 50 billion transistors. With so many transistors, the interior is very complicated, but they are connected.

Of course, it is impossible to write transistors on the wafer with ordinary machines, so light is needed to print.

Chips above 10 nanometers can be processed by ordinary lithography machines, but chips below 10 nanometers must require EUV lithography machines.

Of course, the current Mengyuan Group can't make such a powerful lithography machine at all. After all, this machine is the crystallization of the wisdom of all mankind.

Their research fields are a bit scattered. After all, after studying the world's top chips, they also need to study the world's top batteries.

And the top screen and CMOS.

Mark Tom is also one person, used as several people. He knows everything and is constantly wandering around the Mengyuan Group's scientific research room.

However, the lithography machine still needs a period of research. After all, this technology is too difficult, and it involves high-end technologies in many industries.

The lithography machine they studied is not only capable of manufacturing one chip.

This is a 16nm to 1nm lithography machine, all of which can be foundry, so it is still very difficult to successfully develop it.

Not long ago, Shen Yi planned to import two 10nm lithography machines from ASML, but this was only a plan.

Asml has received this big order and is preparing to export it. A lithography machine can be sold for 10 billion yuan, and the net profit is 44%, which can be said to be very scary.

Just when they were full of joy, eating steak and singing, and preparing to make money, they were suddenly robbed by American companies.

Mengyuan Group's plan to order lithography machines failed.

With the sudden measures of American companies, they will no longer be able to manufacture 10nm chips next year.

Seems like this has become a dead end.

Shen Yi's expression didn't change much after he got the news, the secretaries and other executives couldn't see Shen Yi's expression.

He has done it now, his emotions and anger are invisible, and these executives don't know what he is thinking.

They only knew that if Shen Yi had the chance, he would definitely fight against American companies.

Just don't know when he will be.

About 5 minutes later, Shen Yi said slowly: "We are going to announce a big event. Since they are so stubborn, let's not let them get used to it."

"Let's go directly to Apple. I want to squeeze their mobile phone business out of the domestic market."

You know, Zhuxia is the largest consumer market in the world, if Shen Yi cuts off Apple's financial resources, the losses it can bring to Apple will be huge.

Since America's high-tech companies don't want to make things easier for him, he will fight them to the death.

It's tough!

Mengyuan Group will never give in to the Americans.

That night, the Mengyuan system issued a notice.

For all software manufacturers that cooperate with Mengyuan Group, the commission will be reduced from 1% to 0.1%.

For software manufacturers who use Mengyuan Group's software creation tools, the commission has dropped from 1.5% to 0.15%.

The commission of Mengyuan Group also learned from Apple.

It's just that Apple is even more black-hearted, and they charge [-]% for everything they do.

If you charge 10 yuan in the game, they will take 3 yuan, and the remaining 7 yuan will be given to the game manufacturer, and then the game manufacturer will use the 7 yuan to pay taxes.

Paying taxes is not as much as the Apple App Store commission!
what is this?
Pay Apple taxes!

Therefore, Apple's payment commission is called the Apple tax. Many software manufacturers are dissatisfied with them, but no one can object.

Even if they sue Apple in the EU, Apple can win the case, saying that this is a normal business practice.

The same goes for all the software of the Mengyuan series.

Shen Yi talked with Apple some time ago, hoping that Apple will reduce the commission for all Mengyuan software.

But Apple did not agree.

This is also the reason why Mengyuan wants to dry apples.

On the morning of the second day, Mengyuan Group issued a very important announcement on all major channels.

"From July 7, all Mengyuan Group's software has been removed from Apple's App Store, including more than 26 commonly used software.

Apple Group has no sense of reverence for software manufacturers, and the fees it extracts are higher than the tax of the country where it is located.

We reject such bullying clauses.

At the same time, for the Mengyuan system of Mengyuan Group, the commission for software turnover has been reduced from 10% to 1%, and for those using Mengyuan software production tools, the commission has been reduced from 15% to 1.5%. "

After the news came out, many people's moods were very complicated.

What is Mengyuan doing?
After being oppressed by American companies again, they actually found Apple.

Directly remove SMS, various video platforms, music software and other commonly used ones from the Apple Store.

The ones that have been downloaded can still be used, but the ones that have not been downloaded cannot be used in the future.

And it also encourages all software manufacturers to remove it from Apple's App Store!

Although he didn't do this, but to minimize the commission of Mengyuan store is to guide software manufacturers to do so.

This leading Big Brother said no to Apple.

Naturally, some people will immediately remove the software from the shelves and make Apple succumb.

This kind of behavior is very dangerous because it is suspected of monopoly.

But those software vendors are clapping their hands and applauding. They can't stand Apple, this hateful guy.

Originally able to earn 100 million, Apple took such a cut and directly took away 30 from them. Is there a more black-hearted platform in the world than this?
On the contrary, looking at the Mengyuan system, it has actually reduced the commission that was twice as low as that of Apple, to only one-tenth of the original.

This spirit is very strong.

Domestic people have long believed that Apple and Mengyuan system, the two relatively large operating systems, will definitely find ways to do it.

Did not expect their competition to come so quickly.

"Mengyuan Group must be in a hurry. American companies just announced that TSMC and Four Star are not allowed to manufacture 10nm chips for them. They turned around and directly fought with Apple!

But I like this kind of competition!

This is the demeanor of domestic technology companies.

If you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you. If you mess with me, you still have to make an inch of it, and I'll do my best to overthrow you. "

“This is a bit unfriendly to consumers, but these reasons all come from American companies.

If they hadn't suppressed Mengyuan, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened today. "

"Forget it, how many Apple users are there in our country?

Not much at all, hurry up and switch to a mobile phone equipped with Mengyuan system, is Apple's thing still worth buying?

It lags behind Spark in an all-round way. "

At the same time, Shen Yi also announced a very important news:

"If American companies do not withdraw their charges against Mengyuan and restore TSMC and Four Star to manufacture chips for Mengyuan, then the prices of all high-end components of Mengyuan Group in the future will increase by 10 times when they are exported to the United States, including Royalties.

Lithium-sulfur batteries today, new screens next year, and brand new communication technologies the year after. "

At present, Shen Yi's biggest reliance is lithium-sulfur batteries and super chips with RISC-V architecture.

They took two steps. The first was to counter Apple, and the second was to increase the price of commercial lithium-sulfur batteries. In the future, if American companies take this path, they must be given 10 times the patent fees!
There is no second high-tech company in China that can do this kind of tough attitude.

Moreover, the country also agrees with Mengyuan Group's confrontation with Apple.

If Apple is driven out of the domestic market, they are most willing to see it.

You must know that the chat software of SMS is a national-level chat software. Basically, everyone who owns a smartphone in China is using the chat software of SMS.

The same is true for those users who use Apple phones.

Fortunately, those that have been downloaded can be used, but those that have not been downloaded will not be able to be used in the future.

Unless you directly change to a mobile phone platform.

It means that these Apple users will no longer use Apple to use SMS in the future.

The faith of many users has been shaken.

This trick of Mengyuan can be described as vicious.

SMS is irreplaceable, but Apple mobile phone is.

The data of the Apple mobile phone and the Mengyuan mobile phone are not interoperable, but the Mengyuan Group directly announced that all the software data of the Mengyuan series can be interoperable.

This further strengthens the determination of those Apple users to change their mobile phones.

No one in the country cares about this matter. American companies are forcing Mengyuan Group, and Mengyuan Group will fight back appropriately. Is there any objection?
What's the point of opposing it?

Mengyuan system is open to all mobile phone manufacturers.

Anyway, Apple's domestic market will definitely drop sharply this year, and there may be no hope in the future.

Maybe it will be gradually reduced to others in the domestic market, while Mengyuan Group is transforming from an assembly company to a supply chain company.

Apple's app store is such a good channel for them to make money, they are not even willing to cancel it.

In this case, Mengyuan will help them and cancel it for them.

After all, what is the use of a mobile phone without SMS and various Mengyuan software in China?

Polar bears thought they saw an opportunity this time, but they couldn't grasp this opportunity.

Because SMS has been deeply ingrained in people, no one will give up SMS to use CC.

CC is a software experience that really does not have a letter.

After Mengyuan Group announced that all software would be removed from Apple’s App Store, many software manufacturers followed suit and removed them from Apple’s App Store.

Anyway, with such a big giant leading them, their small software manufacturers are also willing to follow. If something goes wrong, Mengyuan Group will take the lead.

If there is no accident, they will also benefit, which is the best way to achieve the best of both worlds.

Soon, Apple responded, claiming that Mengyuan Group was a monopoly and constituted unfair competition.

But Mengyuan Group's answer made them jump in anger.

"We just removed all of our software as normal business practice.

If you are able to remove software from our app store, you may choose to do so. "

People at Apple almost had their noses turned crooked with anger. How could anyone use such strong words?

Apple went directly to the European Union to complain, but the European Union said that this is a normal business practice, and there is nothing they can do to help.

Just like when Apple said that they collected taxes as a business practice...

After they learned of this result, they felt that they were going to lose Zhu Xia, a huge market.

Because their iPhone 2015S in 6 was very difficult to sell in China!Even the market share was once reduced, from tens of millions of units to several million units.

Because everyone plans to buy a mobile phone equipped with MY S1 chip.

Doesn't this blow up Apple?

In 2015, Apple's sales in the third and fourth quarters directly caused a cliff-like decline, and their shareholders ridiculed Apple's current CEO.

Since Meng Yuan Group’s requirement is not to take a commission, or the commission should be reduced to the same 1% as Meng Yuan Group.

It's not a good way to waste time like this, after all, Zhu Xia's market is very special.

But it was too late.

A lot of software is flourishing on the Mengyuan system. For the Apple system, which is used by only a very small number of people in China, they don't bother to develop software at all, because they feel that it is meaningless to develop.

Apple's sales declined in 2015, but Mengyuan was eating a lot!

Because they not only self-developed super chips, lowered their own chip manufacturing costs to a very low level, but also sold many at high prices.

It's just that the new generation of Mengyuan mobile phones and chips is about to cut off the supply, because American companies have asked TSMC and Four Star to cut off supply to Mengyuan, but they still haven't been withdrawn.

If it continues, Mengyuan Group can only cut off the mobile phone business, and other mobile phone manufacturers can only temporarily abandon Mengyuan's chips and use Qualcomm chips with very poor performance.

Some people in America:

"I've known for a long time that these guys are fake tigers. Without lithography machines to manufacture chips, their so-called high-tech chips are just blueprints. They can't make real objects and have no effect at all. As for the battery?

Wouldn't it be good if we use traditional lithium batteries?
Existing industrial systems are adequate. "

"What? I heard that they are also building lithography machines recently?

Can this be created in just a few years?
It is very difficult for their entire country to build high-end lithography machines.

How can a small company catch up with the crystallization of human wisdom all over the world?

They are literally dreaming.

Give these guys another 20 years, and they will not be able to build a high-end lithography machine like ASML. "
