Chapter 174: Involution begins, forcing Sanling to pay tuition
The presidents of Mitsubishi and Fuji, who had accepted the invitation, calmly sipped their tea.
But they were not at peace in their hearts. The reason why they took time out of their busy schedules to come in person was entirely because Mino Shigeyasu said to them:
"Peninsula Technology has developed a 70nm lithography machine and received massive orders from the three giants of semiconductor manufacturers!"
As Mino Shigeyasu, there was no need to make such a useless joke with them.
Behind the three giants Toshiba, nec, and Hitachi is the Mitsui Consortium.
With more advanced lithography equipment, Mitsui will certainly not continue to order lithography equipment from them.
This means they will lose the native soil they depend on for survival!
To their ears and anxious in their hearts, whether it is research and development of lenses or new generation lithography machines, they are money-burning things. They don’t know how long the lithography machine business can last after losing large orders.
What puzzles them most is how Peninsula Technology, a new and unknown player in the semiconductor industry, developed a new generation of photolithography machines.
And it’s the first time!
You said they can still understand the technology you stole from a master.
Their technology was also stolen from their elder brother. After a long period of technological breakthroughs, they were able to outperform others.
Beautiful Chinese people are very good at making new things, but their work is very rough.
It is by virtue of being practical and sincere that they have reached the forefront of the world, making Big Brother breathless.
I had to play rogue with them.
As for Peninsula Technology.
Suddenly, they had completed the transcendence from zero to one hundred, which was something they couldn't understand.
So now they are full of curiosity about the so-called pas5500, but they have to pretend to be stable.
The chief engineer they brought was a bit restless.
"Mr. Wang, although we respect you very much, we don't believe you when you say that Peninsula Technology has developed a new generation of lithography machines.
With the level of semiconductors in Hong Kong, it is simply impossible to independently manufacture such a sophisticated device as a photolithography machine. "
Wang Lei didn't say anything more and asked someone to play the videotape again.
"how is this possible?"
"Why can you still disassemble the module?"
"How to do?"
Surprise, confusion, and panic spread among several people.
The president of Mitsubishi looked at the chief engineer who was on the verge of collapse with disappointment, feeling very heavy in his heart.
In just a few years, Nikon has lost its technological leadership in the field of photolithography machines.
What makes the two optical giants feel incredible is that the people who surpass them are not the European powers, nor the beautiful Chinese people, nor the cold people who expand in reverse in the face of adversity.
The one who defeated them technically was a Hong Kong company.
The company was established less than five years ago.
It is necessary to have foundation but not foundation, and it is necessary to accumulate technology but not technology.
He simply relied on his deep pockets to buy, buy, and invest in research and development at any cost to surpass them.
Regret becomes their ultimate emotion.
If they had not reduced their investment in R&D in the past two years, perhaps they would not have lost so miserably.
After a long period of silence, Mitsubishi President asked Wang Lei with a wry smile:
"Mr. Wang, your products are indeed great, and your technology and craftsmanship have left us far behind.
I don’t know if your photolithography machine needs more precise lenses. Our two companies can have more in-depth exchanges on technology. "
He realized that cooperation with Peninsula is the best choice for Nikon at present. The two companies can each get what they need and achieve mutual benefit.
President Fuji was annoyed that he was too late, and also said:
"If Peninsula needs customized lenses, we at Canon can meet all your needs."
Looking at the humble presidents of the two congresses, Mino Shigeyasu was slightly absent-minded.
Wang Lei refused unceremoniously:
"I can only appreciate your kindness. I bought Zeiss (also a lens giant) half a year ago, and they will do their best to polish any lenses the peninsula needs!"
Zeiss originally served several major lithography machine manufacturers in the beautiful country, but the work in the beautiful country was not good, and it encountered the Great Depression, and several companies went bankrupt.
With no source of income, Zeiss is also on the verge of bankruptcy.
Historically, it was reversely acquired by ASML.
Hearing this, the president of Mitsubishi suddenly thought. Zeiss is also a giant in the field of lenses. He started out as a microscope and has a profound foundation.
With the support of Zeiss, Peninsula Technology has almost no shortcomings.
Such a wealthy opponent is something they cannot compete with.
Everyone present was curious about why Wang Lei had such rich funds and was buying everywhere. Wouldn't there be problems with his capital chain?
"Then you came to us just to humiliate us?"
Facing the aggressive Mitsubishi Chairman, Shigeyasu Misano hurriedly explained to Wang Lei:
"Of course not, Mr. Wang, he wants to sell you his photolithography machine."
Seeing the two people's unmoved look, Wang Lei smiled and said:
"You two must also know that you will not be able to independently produce a product comparable to pas5500 in a short time.
If people from cold countries or beautiful countries buy my equipment.
Your rivals will completely dominate your rapidly shrinking market.
By then, it will not be just one or two companies that will go bankrupt, but the entire industry chain. "
The chief engineers remained silent, their expressions successfully overwhelming their president.
"Okay, let's buy two from Mitsubishi."
"Our Fuji Group will also buy two units."
Wang Lei shook his hand:
"Sorry, our Peninsula rule is that the minimum sales volume is 15 units."
Wang Lei knew what the two families were planning, so naturally he would not go as they wanted.
The two of them instantly understood Wang Lei's unspoken subtext and reluctantly nodded.
Wang Lei almost laughed out loud when he looked at the mask of pain that Xiao Ziri wore.
His trip to Sakura Island was fruitful.
As soon as the photolithography machine sales business started, 60 units were sold.
The remaining consortiums in Sakurajima are expected to take notice, and subsequent orders will naturally flow to Peninsula Technology.
The meaning is not as simple as making $10 billion.
More importantly, Peninsula Technology has captured the upper market of Sakurajima lithography machines.
All of a sudden, Peninsula Technology's market share increased from 0% to 20%, surpassing the American giant GCA and becoming the world's third largest lithography machine manufacturer.
After paying the tuition, President Mitsubishi had complicated eyes.
He paid tuition once, and that time the lithography machine industry in Sakurajima took off.
This time he felt deeply uneasy.
The reason why they can surpass the giant gca of the beautiful country depends on the spirit of excellence and hard work of the Orientals.
Facing the more hard-working Longguo people, their advantage disappeared in an instant.
He has a bad premonition that it won't be long before semiconductor companies on Hong Kong Island will replace them and become the new technology giants.
