Technology derived

Chapter 533
Who is Zhang Zhongmou?

He is the absolute overlord in the semiconductor field, a generation of heroes, the originator of the wafer foundry model, an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, or an unbeatable old strong!

As long as there is a slight chance, you can survive from a desperate situation.As long as there is a little sunshine, we can create another glories!

But what Zhang Zhongmou didn't know was that he still underestimated Mortal Technology and Wang Fan.

I also thought that Wang Fan was inexperienced and inexperienced, and TSMC still had a chance, and there was still a possibility of turning around.

After all, TSMC is different from Yahoo.

Yahoo is a pure Internet company without industrial support.

In the field of the Internet, it can be prosperous and quickly accumulate wealth. In 2000, the market value can exceed [-] billion U.S. dollars!

However, this kind of Internet enterprise succeeds quickly and dies unambiguously.

Once it goes bankrupt in the Internet field, then Yahoo will collapse across the board, without any ambiguity.

TSMC is different. In addition to technology and technology, it also has industrial support.

That's dozens of advanced fabs around the world!
Those fabs that mortal semiconductors are greedy for, and those fabs that Wang Fan is excited about.

Even if it weren't for Mortal Semiconductor's repeated blows, which were too fierce and too fast, TSMC's stock price would never be so low, and its market value would not be only 500 billion U.S. dollars!
You must know that each of TSMC's fabs around the world is a precious asset, and each is valuable.

For example, TSMC plans to build a 12-inch wholly-owned fab in China, with an estimated investment of US$30 billion.

Therefore, these dozens of the world's most advanced fabs alone are an inestimable wealth.

What's more, these TSMC fabs are equipped with the world's most advanced equipment and excellent production lines.

Although it is not comparable to the intelligent production line of Mortal Semiconductor, it is still a valuable existence.

Therefore, the total value of 12-inch, 8-inch, and 6-inch fabs around the world alone, as well as supporting equipment, and advanced production lines, plus TSMC's related technologies and patents in the semiconductor field, have a total value of almost 500 billion dollars!
Therefore, the current stock price of TSMC is a bit artificially low, and it is very likely to skyrocket.The market value of TSMC has almost reached its lowest point, and the possibility of recovery is very high.

Even if all TSMC is sold now, there will definitely be many rushing to acquire it.

Including Samsung, including mortal semiconductors.

But the reason why no one is taking action now is simple. The current situation is too unclear, the form is too unstable, and the risk is too high, so it is not suitable to make a move.

After all, Mortal Semiconductor broke out halfway, which can be said to have completely broken the original pattern of the semiconductor field, and even subverted the traditional model of wafer foundry.

It can be said that Wang Fan's behavior is equivalent to flipping the table!

However, what kind of situation is it like after the table is turned over, and what kind of gameplay is it?
No one knows, so no one dares to act hastily.

Of course, let alone 500 billion US dollars, I am afraid that 800 billion US dollars may not be sold by TSMC!
However, this kind of capital is the confidence of TSMC and Zhang Zhongmou.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

…………

Zhang Zhongmou shook his head, stood up, ignored these things, and walked towards the meeting room.

There was still a room full of directors waiting for him to explain.

You must know that these directors and financial owners are the foundation of TSMC and the last hope of TSMC.

Especially at this time, the directors' choices are directly related to the fate of TSMC.

Therefore, no matter what, Zhang Zhongmou must give them an explanation, a result, and an answer!
Seeing Zhang Zhongmou walking in with a sullen face, everyone felt that Zhang Zhongmou had aged a lot in the past half an hour, and had become much sadder.

Even if Zhang Zhongmou tried his best to cover it up, it had no effect.

Zhang Zhongmou walked to his seat, looked around at the crowd, and then bowed deeply under everyone's stunned gaze, standard 90 degrees.

Then he said sincerely: "When TSMC is at the end of its rope, it is my Zhang Zhongmou's fault and my Zhang Zhongmou's incompetence!"

"I can't thank you all for your trust and support!"

In an instant, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone's expressions became much uglier.

The cooperation with Apple is estimated to be completely yellow, and the situation of TSMC should be more difficult than imagined.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhang Zhongmou to act like this.

The old director next to him quickly helped Zhang Zhongmou up, and comforted him: "Zhongmou, you are not to blame for this. Mortal Semiconductor broke out halfway, and no one would have thought of it, let alone stop it. No matter what, we will face it together!"

"Yes, face it together!"

There was a sound of unity in the room, although a little lack of confidence, it was the greatest encouragement to Zhang Zhongmou.

Such a voice can appear not only between brothers who are fighting together, but also between partners with related interests.

There is no doubt that TSMC is the latter at this moment.

"Thank you." Zhang Zhongmou said with emotion, and bowed deeply again to express his gratitude to everyone.

"Okay, Zhongmou, let's talk about the current situation, is it Apple..." Another director couldn't help asking.

Zhang Zhongmou nodded and sighed: "Yes, the reality is more cruel than we imagined. Mortal Semiconductor not only has sufficient 14nm production capacity, but also has sufficient production capacity for 20nm and 28nm."

"What!" A startled voice sounded, and everyone's expressions became very ugly.

You must know that the blank 28nm and 20nm of mortal semiconductors are the only way for TSMC to develop, and now they are also cut off by mortal semiconductors.

This is really...

"Moreover, Apple also tore up all cooperation with us, and MediaTek also terminated all agreements. Of course, Huawei is even more decisive and unilaterally abolished all cooperation agreements with TSMC!"

"This... this..." Everyone in the room suddenly panicked.

Originally without 14nm, TSMC can still make efforts in the mid-to-low-end market of 20nm and 28nm.

But now even the low-end market cannot be won, and the future of TSMC is at a loss.

And Apple, Huawei, and MediaTek have terminated all agreements and canceled all orders, which is even more cruel.

In this way, whether TSMC can maintain normal operation now is a problem, and whether it can survive is very difficult, let alone the future!
It can be said that the current TSMC is still at the end of the mountain!
"They are like this, aren't they afraid of paying liquidated damages?" A young director couldn't help asking.

Zhang Zhongmou shook his head with a wry smile: "Liquidated damages? How much is that? Huawei has already called, and Apple and MediaTek will pay as soon as possible. But it doesn't make any sense at all!"

Yes, a little liquidated damages is really insignificant compared to the tens of billions of orders!
