Chapter 899

"It's difficult. I'm Zhongmou."

"Mr. Zhang, who are you?"

"Hehe, Ben is difficult. Why can't I call you without TSMC?"

"Mr. Zhang, I don't mean that."

"How about Huanyu technology?"

"Very good."

"Alas, I didn't think about it at the beginning. It's difficult. You won't blame me."

"Mr. Zhang, you have always been a person I respect very much."

"Ben, thank you."

"Mr. Zhang, don't say that."

"Ben Yan, do you think they can make a lithography machine with the strength of Huanyu technology? Of course, I'm not just talking about capital. I believe you know the technology involved better than me."

"I don't know."

"If TSMC supports your wet process, do you think it is more likely?"

"Mr. Zhang, have you decided?"

"Yes. But, you know, I always believe in you. I want you to go back to TSMC."

"I..."

"It's hard. TSMC has always been your home. I hesitated before, not because I didn't believe you. But..."

"President Zhang, I know."

"In that case, Ben is difficult. Come back."

"President Zhang..."

Lin Ben on the other end of the phone was stunned.

He actually has deep feelings for Zhang Zhongmou.

At the same time, he also had a good time at TSMC.

His experience, his brilliance, his many, everything, are at TSMC.

For a moment.

Lin Ben almost wanted to agree to Zhang Zhongmou's invitation.

He could hear that this was Zhang Zhongmou's sincere invitation.

Moreover, Zhang Zhongmou has not done anything sorry for him all the time.

Although Zhang Zhongmou did not decide to enter the field of wet lithography, any entrepreneur would hesitate with such a large investment.

But

Everything didn't come back.

If we didn't come to Huanyu technology, everything would be fine.

But now that Huanyu technology is here

Think of the young man who was full of spirit, focused on the world and amazing.

Lin Benhan shook his head. "I'm sorry. I've joined Huanyu technology. If I go back to TSMC now, I'll be so sorry to President Chen. Moreover, I'm not such a person."

"Alas..."

Zhang Zhongmou shook his right hand holding the phone.

"Ben, don't say sorry. I'm the one who said I'm sorry. Ben, whether you're at TSMC or not, we're still the same as before."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"That's it. It's difficult. Hang up first."

With a sigh, Zhang Zhongmou hung up the phone.

In fact, before making this call, Zhang Zhongmou knew that Lin Benhan could not return to TSMC.

Lin Benhan is not such a person, even if Zhang Zhongmou promises any conditions.

In fact, Zhang Zhongmou didn't take any conditions. He still moved Lin Ben with his old feelings.

He felt that only in this way could Lin Benhan be moved.

But I can only say regret.

Although the old love is beautiful and worth remembering, this is not Lin Ben's principle of life.

Zhang Zhongmou didn't think clearly at that time. Now he thinks clearly. It's too late.

"Zhang Lei, contact ASML company. I want to talk to their CEO."

"Mr. Zhang, have you really decided?"

"This difficult departure is a great loss for TSMC. If I don't decide, we won't have a chance."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I'll contact ASML immediately."

A few days later.

Zhang Zhongmou, founder and chairman of TSMC, personally went to ASML lithography company in the Netherlands.

"Mr. Zhang, do you want to study wet lithography?"

"Yes."

"President Zhang, you should know that according to Lin Benhan's wet theory, the investment in this area should be at least more than US $10 billion. I underestimated the US $10 billion."

"I know."

"Mr. Zhang, I appreciate your courage, but we ASML really can't afford so much money."

"What if I say that TSMC can inject capital into ASML?"

"It's not enough to have TSMC alone, unless you spare no effort to cooperate with us regardless of cost."

"What if I pull Intel and Samsung?"

"President Zhang, can you convince Intel and Samsung?"

ASML president "wenpeter" was a little excited.

In fact, he naturally knows the purpose of TSMC.

As the world's largest chip OEM enterprise, TSMC has accepted the challenge from Huanyu technology.

Although this challenge has not had much impact for the time being, the business of center international is also a medium and low-end chip for the time being.

But everyone knows that Huanyu technology has a huge capital flow and a terrible Chinese market.

In the future, TSMC is bound to have a big war with the international center.

But ASML also knows.

Developing wet lithography process may be the only way to solve the current dry technology.

But even if this is the only one, the huge amount of money makes ASML unable to make this determination.

On the one hand, they don't have the money.

On the other hand, even if they can get so much money, they may not be able to occupy the market.

After all, ASML only produces lithography machines.

What if TSMC, Intel, Samsung, these chip manufacturing companies don't decide their lithography machines?

The market can often determine the life and death of upstream enterprises.

For example, although ASML has a certain market share in the field of lithography, Nikon and Canon in Japan also have good lithography technology. At the same time, Intel and Samsung are also their customers.

But if we can bind Intel, TSMC, Samsung and their three companies, let them become shareholders of ASML.

Undoubtedly, this gives ASML a layer of insurance.

In the future, as long as it is a lithography machine produced by ASML, they will buy it at the first time.

of course.

For TSMC, Intel and Samsung, taking a stake in ASML is also equivalent to signing a strategic agreement.

As long as ASML makes the wet lithography machine, they must sell it to their own shareholders at the first time.

Even, they can decide to cut off their competitors.

Such cooperation is beneficial to all parties.

However, after ASML president "Wen Peter" calmed down, he appeared to have some hesitation.

"Mr. winpeter, do you have any questions?"

"Mr. Zhang, you may not be able to convince Samsung and Intel."

After that, Peter Wen continued: "Samsung and Intel not only have chip manufacturing business, but also end consumer business. They may not be willing to spend a huge amount of money on the research and development of wet lithography."

Make it simple.

That is, Samsung and Intel can sell products in addition to making their own chips.

Even if it is subject to the competition of the international center, it has little impact.

But TSMC is different.

TSMC is just a chip OEM. They only charge OEM fees. They have no products.

They can't sell the OEM chips to other manufacturers.

Nor does it package chips into some kind of electronic products to face consumers directly.

This is why TSMC, not Samsung or Intel, came to the Netherlands.

Because TSMC faces the greatest challenge.

"Mr. winpeter, you're right. Maybe Intel and Samsung don't have so much pressure now. But it's not necessarily. You know, Huanyu technology doesn't just want to make a chip."

"Mr. Zhang, you said."

"Let's analyze that Huanyu technology has a central international, which has stabilized their chip foundry technology. But for Huanyu technology, they think it's not safe enough, because they think they don't have a lithography machine, so they will still be limited, so they want to be a lithography machine."

"This logic is normal. It's me. I also have such a sense of crisis."

"But we know that chips are not only chip manufacturing, but also chip design before chip manufacturing."

"You mean Tianwen chip?"

"It's not just Tianwen chip."

Zhang Zhongmou shook his head: "Tianwen chip is just a microprocessor based on ARM architecture. So, it's the same as before. When Huanyu technology makes its own chip, it will think that they don't have a lithography machine, so they want to make a lithography machine. Then when they do chip design, won't they think, why should they be based on arm's chip architecture? Why, they don't do it by themselves Have you come up with an independent structure that is different from arm and other companies? "

"This..."

At this point, Peter Wen became very serious.

In fact, he had heard that Huanyu technology was secretly working on their chip architecture before.

But all along, the new architecture of Huanyu technology has not come out.

Instead, it is Tianwen chip based on ARM chip architecture.

Moreover, with the support of Tianwen chip, a series of electronic products of Huanyu technology have developed very well.

When Peter Wen gradually forgot such a thing, Zhang Zhongmou mentioned it again.

For an enterprise like Huanyu technology, they can never just have one intention.

"Mr. Zhang, do you think Huanyu technology can make a new chip architecture?"

"I don't know."

Zhang Zhongmou shook his head: "technology is natural, but ecology is hard to say. But don't you think Huanyu technology has built its own ecology more and more?"

Pear MP3 series.

Huanyu mobile phone series.

Huanyu computer series.

Universal TV

Is Huanyu technology doing this just to make money?

Although these electronic products do not account for a large share in the whole global electronic products, they have formed an ecology belonging to Huanyu technology. Once the ecology becomes bigger, the challenge is not TSMC, ASML. He will challenge Samsung, Intel, Microsoft and IBM

But at that time.

The boy who was born in recklessness will begin to kill dragons.

"President Zhang, as soon as you say, I feel that Huanyu technology is a little scary now."

"Yes, maybe you don't know. When I first heard about Huanyu technology, I didn't pay much attention. But now I don't dare to be careless about any news of Huanyu technology."

"If so, will Intel and Samsung agree?"

"If they still want to control the market, they will definitely agree."

Zhang Zhongmou is extremely confident about this.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm waiting for your good news."

Wenpeter said with a smile without hesitation.
