Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

Countries in Europe and the United States were very surprised and shocked by the explosion of Wujiang Group, and it was difficult to bear the bloodbath of the market by Wujiang Group's products.

However, it was very helpless.

People rely on technology to win. You can't say goodbye to someone else's technology monopoly just because someone else's chip technology is great.

However, they really can only find this excuse.

Generally speaking, technological monopoly is also a monopoly, but upon specific analysis of specific circumstances, some technological monopolies may not be considered illegal.

According to the temperament of Europe and the United States, of course we must use the "well-known double standard".

My technological monopoly is not a monopoly, your technological monopoly is a real monopoly and must be punished.

In July, Country M took the lead in conducting an anti-monopoly investigation against Wujiang Group, pointing out that Wujiang Group relied on its leading edge in chip technology to achieve substantial monopoly on many of the group's products!

Good guy, let’s file a lawsuit!

If you want to add guilt, why bother? Wujiang Group was not afraid, so it sent its own legal team to litigate the case. As we all know, it is normal for a lawsuit to last for several years, and it may even be settled in the end.

Even if you lose the lawsuit, you will only be fined a small amount of money.

Zhao Ye has become accustomed to it and won't have a headache from these things.

In fact, the authorities of Country M also know that they cannot defeat the Wujiang Group simply by relying on lawsuits. In the final analysis, you still have to develop your own technology.

The core of competition in the technology industry is chips, and the core of chips is photolithography machines.

Therefore, the authorities of country M have once again increased investment in research and development in the field of dry lithography machines.

The most high-end EUV lithography machine contains more than 10 parts. Although the dry lithography machine in the 90s did not have so many parts, it still had to parts.

The essence of ASML is actually an assembly factory for photolithography machines, but it has relatively high technical requirements.

Therefore, if country M supports the development of the photolithography machine industry, it will need to help all photolithography machine component manufacturers.

The amount of money invested is not small.

On the morning of July 7, Country M allocated US$25 billion in special funds to support the development of the lithography machine industry.

Unfortunately, the research is still on dry lithography machines.

This money is basically wasted, which is actually nothing. The most important thing is to delay the development of lithography machines. When Sugon immersion lithography machine develops the next generation lithography machine, perhaps the dry lithography machine will still be spinning in place...

Perhaps, the gap between the two sides will only grow wider.

And this is exactly what Zhao Ye wants to see.

At this moment, when they learned that country M had introduced a support policy for lithography machines, equipment manufacturers in the European and American lithography machine industry chain were immediately excited.

"Country M's support policy came too timely. We finally have the funds to continue research. After the new parts are successfully developed, we will definitely make a huge breakthrough!"

“There is hope for a breakthrough in dry lithography machines!!!”

"..."

Since Wujiang Microelectronics has produced more advanced chips, the lithography machine industry chain in Europe, the United States and Japan has suffered a heavy blow, which is simply a catastrophic blow.

Sales of photolithography machines from ASML, Nikon and Canon are almost stagnant.

Upstream photolithography machines are slow to sell, can downstream component manufacturers fare better?

If country M hadn't come forward to support them now, these manufacturers in the lithography machine industry chain would probably go bankrupt.

TSMC almost cried with excitement.

This company probably hopes most to achieve a breakthrough in dry lithography machine technology.

At present, rival Wujiang Microelectronics has pushed TSMC to the ground and rubbed it hard, almost like an adult hitting a child, leaving TSMC without the ability to fight back.

In the field of chip foundry, TSMC only has a pitiful 3.5% market share.

It is not wrong to say that TSMC is struggling to survive.

TSMC's sluggish performance has also affected other semiconductor companies in Baodao, such as ASE Group, which specializes in chip packaging and testing.

The entire Baodao semiconductor industry was hit hard.

This cannot be solved by policy support. If the technology is not good, it is not good. Western countries may be willing to sell advanced lithography machines to TSMC, but how can Wujiang Microelectronics sell Sugon lithography machines to its competitors.

If Baodao's chip foundry business fails to develop, I'm afraid Baodao's rapidly developing economy will slow down immediately.

The time when the economic scale of Baodao can be surpassed by any province in the mainland seems to have arrived early...

……

In terms of time, about a month later, following Country M, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and some European countries have launched similar investigations into Wujiang Group. The speed is really fast!

As the saying goes, "If you have too many lice, you won't be itchy; if you have too many debts, you won't have to worry about them." If you have a lawsuit with country M, you have to fight it. If you have a lawsuit with other countries, you have to fight it. Let's do it together.

Wujiang Group relies on its technological advantages to crush other products, so that consumers will make wise choices.

In the second half of 1996, Wujiang Group was riddled with lawsuits, but this did not stop Wujiang Group's products from selling like hotcakes and sweeping the world.

As long as Wujiang Group's products are not banned, it will not prevent Wujiang Group from making a lot of money.

In fact, there is no way to ban it.

Let’s not talk about Country M. Just take Europe as an example. Not all European countries are hostile to the Wujiang Group.

If you don’t cooperate with Wujiang Group, there will naturally be other countries that are willing to cooperate with Wujiang Group, such as purchasing Pangu supercomputers, Nuwa servers, "Kirin Pentium 4" chips, etc...

These things can help your country improve the level of scientific research and technology.

Moreover, for many European countries, they cannot produce these products in the first place. The products they originally purchased were either Chinese or Japanese, and the prices were extremely expensive.

It doesn’t matter who you buy, so why don’t I buy from Wujiang Group?

Therefore, although foreign countries are very hostile to Wujiang Group, they have to buy Wujiang Group's products.

Due to the great sales of its products, Wujiang Group's brand awareness has soared again this year.

Today, almost everyone in the world knows about Wujiang Group.

You may not know who the president of Country M is, but it’s impossible that you haven’t heard of the Wujiang Group, and it’s impossible that you don’t know the name of the world’s richest man, Zhao Ye.

In October 1996, Wujiang Group's annual revenue exceeded US$10 billion, leaving India's GDP far behind.

With the rise of Wujiang Group, China's economy has surged again.

Major capitals around the world are also more optimistic about China's development.

In the first nine months of this year alone, according to incomplete statistics, more than US$9 billion of foreign capital was invested in the Chinese market, involving various industries, mainly involving real estate, industrial manufacturing, the Internet, finance, energy, steel, medicine, and food processing. , foreign trade, etc...

It's the 20s now, it's really scary!

These foreign investments have provided great help to China's great rejuvenation.

In fact, not only capital, but also many foreign companies have brought technology to China.
