Chapter 416: The Four Major Chip Foundries Are Out, and the Public Opinion War Begins!

[Yuri Saito]: "Baga! Is Longxing Group trying to force me to death? Why do they make such an announcement when I am adding to my position!"

[Nobuhei Sakaguchi]: "The price of 14N16-inch semiconductor silicon wafers and 11N12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers is the same. It will destroy this industry. Longxing Group is a cancer!"

[Kasuga Yuno]: "Please, give me a chance to sell. If the position is liquidated tomorrow, I will have to go to the sea to film."

People from the island countries on TikTok kept leaving messages in the comment area of ​​relevant videos. No one expected that as soon as the Nikkei 225 started to improve, Longxing Group would release huge bad news.

This moment was like a bolt from the blue, causing countless little days and nights to wail.

And at the same time.

Shin-Etsu Group Headquarters in the island nation.

The moment Fujii Koyama learned the news, his face instantly turned pale, and he was almost pissed with fear. He hurriedly downloaded TikTok to check it out for himself.

When he saw the hot search term "Longxing Group Business Expansion", his heart suddenly trembled, and he clicked on it to check it carefully.

this moment.

His hanging heart finally died.

"Damn it! This is naked commercial suppression. This is naked commercial suppression. Chen Xing, why don't you give away the 14N16-inch semiconductor wafer for 1,500 yuan for free?" Fujii Koyama suppressed his voice and his whole body was shaking.

What is the concept of 14N16-inch semiconductor silicon wafer priced at 1,500 yuan?

The international price of 11N12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers is between 1,400 yuan and 1,600 yuan. However, due to Shin-Etsu Group's excellent quality control, the price in the industry is basically 1,600 yuan.

This means that Longxing Group’s semiconductor silicon wafers have an extra 3N purity and an area of ​​4 inches. As a result, the price is lower than the 11N 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers produced by Shin-Etsu Group.

Let’s not talk about the purity of 3N. The increased area of ​​4 inches is already amazing.

We must know that every inch larger the semiconductor silicon wafer means that the output of bare chip chips increases, and the production cost becomes lower.

Calculated based on the size and area of ​​1 die, the diameter of the mainstream 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafer on the market is 30CM, and approximately 232 die chips can be cut out.

According to what Chen Xing said at the last press conference, if the 16-inch semiconductor silicon wafer is cut according to the die size area of ​​1, approximately 717 pieces can be cut out.

Just imagine, with the same chip production process and similar material cost, 16-inch semiconductor silicon wafers can produce three times the amount of 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers. If you were a chip foundry, whose products would you purchase? What size semiconductor wafers will be used?

no doubt!

16-inch semiconductor silicon wafer is the best choice!

When Fujii Koyama was in despair, Maeda Hidetsugi of JSR Co., Ltd. and Kobayashi Rokuro, the president of TOK Tokyo Onka Group, looked at the price and also felt extremely desperate.

The 10^20 high-resistance deep UV photoresist actually only sells for 12 yuan per gram. You must know that they sell it for 15 yuan.

The price of 10^20 extreme ultraviolet photoresist is only 20 yuan per gram, which makes them even more desperate.

Price war!

A naked price war!

"Bagaya road!"

"Bagaya road!"

Maeda Hidetsugi and Kobayashi Rokuro cursed at the same time. The secretary who was reporting the news shivered in fright, shrank his neck like a turtle, and silently endured the anger.

However, chip raw material suppliers such as Maeda Hidetsugi, Kobayashi Rokuro, and Fujii Koyama seem to have forgotten that they used to treat Longguo companies in this way.

For example, in 2006, the CEO of Shanghai Silicon Group, Yu Yuehui, accurately grasped that semiconductor chips were the general direction of future development, and planned to make early arrangements to conquer the mainstream 10N8-inch semiconductor silicon wafers in the market. For this purpose, he did not hesitate to mortgage his garage.

But what's the result?

The 10N 8-inch semiconductor silicon wafer was successfully conquered, but Fujii Koyama, Segao Group Chairman Kazuzu Sakano, and other semiconductor silicon wafer suppliers together, the night after the Shanghai Silicon Group’s new product release, at the price of 8 inches, Selling 11N12 inch semiconductor silicon wafers.

It was also this price war that caused Longguo Semiconductor silicon wafer companies to go bankrupt one after another, and countless investments were in vain.

If it were not for state support and the rapid transformation of photovoltaic silicon wafers, Shanghai Silicon Group would probably become history.

Not only Shanghai Silicon Group, but also Longguo Enterprises, which specializes in EDA software, photoresist and other chip-related fields, have also been "baptized" by price wars to a greater or lesser extent.

After Fujii Koyama, Maeda Hidetsugi, Kobayashi Rokuro, Sakano Kazuo calmed down, they chose to call their "masters" to seek help from across the ocean.

Maria, the third in command of the Bailey Group, was also in a state of distress at this time.

Without any warning, Chen Xing suddenly launched a price war, which disrupted their plans and made her shudder.

If it were in the past, she would have blocked the news as soon as possible. No matter how much trouble the Longxing Group made, the relevant news content would not be able to leave the Long Kingdom.

But things are different now. Due to the existence of TikTok, a large number of people in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, and the Middle East use TikTok, and the viewing time is basically more than 2 hours a day. It is the most popular short video and social media platform today. .

The information cocoon has been broken, and Maria has no way to block the news. Now she can only report it to Lyle Valles, the leader of the group, for resolution.

"Dong dong——"

When Maria reached the top floor, she was thinking about knocking on the door frame of the office.

suddenly.

There was a wailing sound inside.

"Ah, Lord Bhaskar, let me go. I am the prince of the British royal family. You can't do this. They will not let you go."

"Ahhh!"

The screams coming from inside were so shrill and desperate that Maria outside the door swallowed hard and her outstretched hand stayed in the air.

Go in?

Still not going in?

She knew Pascal, he was the Supreme Six-Wing of the All Seeing Society, and he had a habit of pinning other people's "walnuts". Maria had also suffered from this.

Although she had undergone sex reassignment surgery and no longer had walnuts to show her to, she still couldn't help but shudder every time she thought about her past experience.

"is it wrong?"

"wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Failed to complete the task you assigned and failed to crack the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system within the prescribed time."

"You have such a damn good memory!"

"ah!"

There were screams and screams constantly coming from inside. When Maria was at a loss, Pascal suddenly said in a deep voice: "How long are you going to stand outside the door? Get in here."

"!!!"

Maria was stunned for a moment, then opened the office door tremblingly, lowering her head, not daring to look at the scene inside.

"What brings you here?"

Bhaskar's tone was cold.

"Previously... Maeda Hidetsugi, Kobayashi Rokuro, Sakano and others called for help, and Chen Xing launched a price war against them."

"ah!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Pascal could speak, Lyle Valles screamed first.

Although Maria lowered her head, she could vaguely see the muscle lines and faintly bulging veins in Pascal's arms.

"Such force won't make a person infertile, right?" She thought to herself.

Maria knew about Lyle Valles' other identity. If he was really infertile, the British royal family would probably break off the engagement.

However, Baskar had no intention of letting go and asked nonchalantly: "Chen Xing is in a price war with Japanese companies for chip raw materials? What is their quotation?"

"14N16-inch semiconductor silicon wafer costs 1,500 Dragon King coins, 14N18-inch semiconductor silicon wafer costs 1,700 Dragon King coins, 14N20-inch semiconductor silicon wafer costs 1,900 Dragon King coins, and 10^20 high-resistance full-category photoresist..."

The moment Maria told the price, Lyle Valles screamed again and again, while Pascal was lost in thought and said: "With such a low price, it seems that the other party is determined to cause trouble. Indeed A way to deal with it is needed.”

"What do you need me to do?"

Maria asked.

"Let me think about it." Pascal closed his eyes and continued to increase the strength of his hands. His face had already turned red. The disheveled Lyle Valles continued to scream, his clenched fists trembling, and his fingernails It had already sunk into the flesh, and the oozing blood dripped onto the ground.

He had no intention of resisting at all. He knew very well that Panshin would resist the punishment imposed by his superiors, which could be said to be worse than death.

Half a minute passed before Baskar opened his eyes, suddenly let go of his hand and said: "There is a way. Four of the world's five largest chip foundries are under our control. Chen Xing wants to use chip raw materials to set prices." If we don’t use his semiconductor wafers and photoresist, can we solve this crisis perfectly?”

"Huhuhu——"

The moment he let go of his hand, Lyle Valles immediately fell to his knees, gasping for air.

Only those "brothers" who have been injured know how fragile it is.

"Lord Baskar is wise."

Maria quickly praised.

"Okay." Bhaskar waved his hand disapprovingly and continued: "I will inform you to completely ban the Longxing Group's semiconductor wafers and photoresist."

"OK."

Maria still lowered her head.

She lowered her head and slowly turned around and exited the office.

She knew very well that Basca was ruthless, and she also knew that Lyle Valles liked to hold grudges. If she glanced at the office at this time and saw Lyle Valles' embarrassment, it would probably be her turn to suffer next.

The rule that one level eats the other, and subordinates obey their superiors unconditionally has been engraved in the DNA of every member who joins the All-Seeing Society.

…

And on the other side.

Nebraska, USA.

Omaha.

Buffett used his connections to urgently contact the Lehmann family of the Jewish consortium and tell them what he had encountered.

The Lehmann family and Buffett are inextricably linked.

Perhaps many people have only heard of the Rothschild, Morgan, and Rockefeller families, but do not know the background of the Lyman family.

Let's put it this way, the current U.S. Treasury Secretary is a member of the Lyman family. Its influence in the Jewish circle has surpassed the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, and is second only to the most mysterious Rothschild family.

After hearing Buffett's description on the other end of the phone, Jacob Lyman smiled calmly and said: "This is easy to solve. I will have someone contact TSMC later. It will be fine if we don't use the silicon wafers and photoresist from Longxing Group. Chen Star cannot make any waves in the global semiconductor materials field.”

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lyman."

It was with this idea in mind that Buffett contacted Jacob Lyman, but he didn't expect that the other party would think of it so quickly and even bring it up.

"Is there anything else?"

Jacob Lyman asked.

"No, I'm very sorry to disturb you." Buffett said in a respectful tone.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he is the stock god and a model of financial investment in the world, but Buffett knows very well that the real big guys will not appear on the stage.

To be precise, they will not appear on the Forbes list.

The reason is also very simple. The wealth of those people is hidden underwater and they also control the trend of the world. The Lehman family has already reached that threshold.

"By the way."

Just as Buffett wanted to hang up the phone, Jacob Lehman remembered something and continued: "Recently, Wall Street seems to have more short-selling forces. You can check their details and send them to my email. The more detailed the better."

"This..."

Buffett hesitated.

Jacob Lehman heard the clues and asked, "Do you know their details?"

"Yes."

Buffett nodded and replied, "The leaders of the short-selling force are Will Watson and Mambillaso Kennedy, the eldest sons of the Watson family and the Kennedy family."

"It's Onsa."

Jacob Lehman was a little surprised.

He said why it was so strange that he couldn't find the other party's traces and information. It turned out that he was protected by the forces behind him.

If the people of the Onsa consortium intervened in finance, they would definitely be punished if it was normal, but in special times, he didn't want to turn against them.

"Since it's clear, let's hang up first and talk later."

"Okay, Mr. Lehman."

After the two hung up the phone, Buffett's steps were still staggering, but he still insisted on grinding a cup of coffee for himself.

According to his habit, coffee needs two packets of sugar, but this time he didn't put sugar in it. Instead, he took out a packet of transparent crystals from the drawer, poured the whole packet into the coffee cup and stirred it, then took a sip, and then he showed a satisfied look.

"I'm really old, I actually forgot that we still have the chip foundry. Chen Xing, Chen Xing, how should you deal with it?"

Buffett murmured to himself.

While he was sighing, TSMC, far away in Taiwan, CEO Zhang Miao kept saying "yes, yes, yes" like a grandson.

One call was hung up, and the next call came into his mobile phone.

It's no exaggeration to say that the call Zhang Miao received tonight, the owner behind it stamped his feet, can make the world finance tremble.

"Understood, I will write the manuscript myself right away, and I will definitely not let Chen Xing succeed."

"Don't worry, it will definitely be done beautifully."

"Okay!"

"Understood!"

"I will hurry up."

Zhang Miao nodded and bowed repeatedly.

As the twelfth call was hung up, Zhang Miao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

On one side of the sofa, Zhang Miao's first wife Wang Yiyue was a little curious and asked, "Old Zhang, what happened?"

"Alas!" Zhang Miao sighed and briefly summarized, "Chen Xing is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He actually started a price war with Japanese companies that produce chip raw materials. Now, it's good that he has angered the master behind him. Let us issue a notice not to use semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresists from Longxing Group."

In his opinion, Chen Xing really kicked the iron plate this time.

He is engaging in price wars with Japanese chip raw material companies such as Shin-Etsu Group, JSR Corporation and TOK Tokyo Ohka. Don't you know that there are Jewish consortiums behind them?

After hearing this, Wang Yiyue shook her head and said, "Chen Xing is still too young and doesn't know the interests of the groups."

"Not necessarily."

Zhang Miao directly refuted, saying earnestly, "According to my understanding of Chen Xing, he may have a trick up his sleeve."

"Forget it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Let's issue an announcement first. Anyway, the bigger the storm, the better we can still stay out of it."

Even if Longxing Group announced that it had conquered the lithography machine and built a lithography factory, as long as the US-Western alliance did not fall, TSMC would be their best choice for chip production.

Zhang Miao stood up, returned to his bedroom, turned on the computer and started working.

...

Less than an hour after Longxing Group's announcement, Japanese companies such as Shin-Etsu Group, JSR Corporation, and TOK Tokyo Ohka Group successively accused Longxing Group of monopoly on their official Twitter accounts.

[14N16-inch semiconductor silicon wafers are sold for only 1,500 Longguo coins. We think this price is extremely unreasonable and there is suspicion of monopolizing the market. We hope that x-on:Longxing Group will consider it carefully and jointly maintain the healthy development of the market. ]

The accusatory tweet has just been sent out and has received tens of thousands of likes, and countless netizens have spoken for several Japanese companies.

[Peter Fenton]: "Is Longxing Group actually monopolizing? Oh my God, this is the worst news I have ever heard."

[David Chernow]: "I can't believe that Longxing Group would do such a thing. If the market loses its vitality, won't the chip prices be determined by them in the future?"

[Sergey Caso]: "The moment I saw the news, I smashed my Brilliant X2 because monopolistic behavior is too abominable. This kind of unhealthy competition must be severely resisted!"

In the comment area of ​​the tweet, all netizens spoke for Japanese companies.

The term "Longxing Group Monopolizes" also appeared on Twitter's hot search list and was suspended at the top.

The ignoring crowd clicked in and saw that Longxing Group was trying to monopolize the market and oppress weak Japanese companies. This undoubtedly aroused the compassion of some people, and they went to Longxing Group’s official Twitter account to plead for mercy.

However.

Half an hour later.

Longxing Group did not respond.

Under the leadership of Our Lady, public opinion tilted directly towards the weaker Japanese companies, and Longxing Group was also labeled as "market-destroying".

It was also at this time that chip foundries that used the slogan of "justice" came to an end one after another.

[We deeply regret the behavior of Longxing Group that disrupts market prices and attempts to monopolize the market, and will strictly resist it. From now on, we will no longer use Longxing Group’s semiconductor wafers and photoresists, and will strengthen Cooperate with JSR Co., Ltd., TOK Tokyo Yinghua, and Shin-Etsu Chemical for orders. ]

TSMC, GlobalFoundries, UMC, and Korean Star Group all chose to stand in the camp of Japanese companies, and they still did so under the banner of "justice." This kind of heroic announcement directly made Western people have orgasms in their heads, and they gave them a thumbs up.

If it were in the past, Chen Xing would have to suffer the consequences of being mute, because they would not give you a chance to defend yourself, but would directly silence you.

But with ByteDance’s TikTok, Twitter is no longer the best channel to speak out, it can only be regarded as a way to speak out.

Facing the opponents' attempts to discredit the Longxing Group, Chen Xing had already contacted Li Zhenzhen at the European and American headquarters.

Seeing that the online public opinion was overwhelming, Li Zhenzhen immediately directed the operation: "Publish videos and tweets, let them take a good look at who is the monopoly company."

"clear."

The operation clicks to send the manuscript.

But after Twitter’s manuscript was sent out, the number of views remained at 0, which obviously led to the platform’s internal review.

But TikTok had no impact and passed the review directly.

The carefully prepared video, which lasts for 1 minute and 47 seconds, describes the entire process of how Japanese companies such as JSR Co., Ltd., TOK Tokyo Onka, and Shin-Etsu Chemical Group engage in monopoly and "persecute" Longguo-related companies.

Weak?

Just a wolf in sheep's clothing!

People in Europe and America who saw the response to the video woke up one after another, which was in sharp contrast to the Virgin Heart on Twitter.

[Bricio Bage]: "No, it turns out that the monopolies are JSR Co., Ltd., TOK Tokyo Inka, and Shin-Etsu Chemical Group? There are also three EDA giants, Synopsys, Cadence, and Mentor, who also have monopolies. They are equal. Is revenge okay?”

[Mona Sachs]: "I think Longxing Group is doing the right thing. If your Japanese company can create a monopoly, why can't others?"

[Jeff Levick]: "Thank you TikTok for letting me know the truth. If I just looked at the content on Twitter, I thought Longxing Group was the perpetrator, but I didn't expect it was just the counterattack!"

Since the Longxing Group's response video has become popular, more and more European and American people have learned who the monopoly is.

Many European and American people spontaneously went to Twitter to explain to Longxing Group, but as soon as the comments were posted, the system identified the "unreasonable content" and deleted them directly.

This has led to polarization in the reputation of Longxing Group on Twitter and TikTok.

…

Shencheng Longgang.

Longxing Group headquarters base.

Chen Xing had long expected that the other party would throw dirty water on him. Fortunately, ByteDance’s TikTok broke through the Jewish consortium’s information blockade and allowed him to respond and explain.

Faced with the collective fate of TSMC, UMC, GlobalFoundries, and Korean Star Group, and supporting Japanese companies in chip raw materials, he is also fully prepared to fight back.

Chen Xing first sent a WeChat message and then made a phone call.

"Dududu——"

After a few seconds of busy tone, the call was connected.

"Mr. Chen?"

The other party spoke English that tasted like kimchi, with a hint of surprise in his tone. He obviously didn't expect Chen Xing to call him.

"How are you doing, President Ju?"

Chen Xing said hello.

The person on the other end of the phone was none other than Ju Benmao, the current chairman of LG Group.

"It's... not bad, what's the matter?" Ju Benmao was obviously pretending to be confused because he knew that there was such a big noise that Longxing Group wanted to engage in Japanese companies, so it was impossible for him not to know about it.

"You should have read Twitter. If not, you can check the hot search list first." As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, he continued in a very tangled tone:

"I'm very sad now. The group is in urgent need of funds to operate. I'm thinking of selling semiconductor wafers and photoresists to raise funds. People also say that I have a monopoly. President Ju, do you think I have a high monopoly?"

"By the way, President Ju."

"If I sell methacrylate and acrylate at the same price as you, it shouldn't involve a monopoly, right?"

Ju Benmao: "..."

What's this?

threaten?

Intimidation?

I saw Ju Benmao covering the receiver with his palm and yelling angrily at the phone: "Xiba! Chen Xing, you Xiba, Da Xiba!!!"

After scolding him, he let go of the receiver and said with a different expression: "Mr. Chen, just..., no, if you have anything you want to give me, just tell me, and I will do it for you if I can."
