Chapter 859 Dove occupying the magpie's nest
In the past few years, a large merger and acquisition of tens of billions of dollars may attract the attention of countless companies and media in the whole of America, and even overseas, and it will be widely reported.

But no matter how delicious the food is, it can’t stand to be eaten every day, especially in the past few years, ICQ, AOL, WorldCom, Yahoo and other big companies in the Internet and telecommunications industries are almost crazy, and they cost hundreds of billions of dollars at every turn. large mergers and acquisitions.

Alcatel mobile phone took out more than 100 billion US dollars this time, acquired Zeiss and Leica, and occupied the global high-end optical lens market in one fell swoop. If it is not because the acquirer is Alcatel mobile phone, and it coincides with the upcoming release of Alcatel P3 new phone, maybe This will make no one pay attention to these two acquisitions!
After all, cameras and lenses are not a high-end or neck-choking industry at all in these days. The Bigger of Leica Camera sounds really high, something like royal use, but that’s about it, in the camera market , It’s not that the market is constantly being eroded by Sony and Nikon.

What really made Zeiss the global lens leader was the cooperation with ASML to provide lenses for lithography machines. ASML has become the benevolent father of global semiconductor and chip manufacturers in one fell swoop. Asmel of the lithography machine can only swallow his anger, and Zeiss also follows the chicken dog!

Now there are still many players in the lithography machine industry. Now ASML has only improved slightly, but a few years ago, it was just an inconspicuous small department of Philips, and it could only live temporarily next to the Philips headquarters. In the model house built, there is a trash can when you go out...

Now the leader in the lithography machine industry is Nikon of Japan Benzene, and it is inextricably fighting with GCA, the leader of the lithography machine in America. In order to fight against Nikon, or the Japan Semiconductor Group behind Nikon, America has used The old way can't solve your Nikon, can't you solve Japanese Benzene...

On the American side, under the lobbying of Intel, GCA and other manufacturers, with the endorsement of Capitol Hill, the LLC alliance was officially established two years ago, specifically to clean up Nikon. The LLC alliance is led by Capitol Hill and gathered Ami The top laboratories in Liga, including the three major laboratories under the Federal Ministry of Energy, Berkeley Lab, Sandia Lab, Livermore Lab, IBM, AMD, Motorola, etc. have joined this alliance to prepare for research and development EUV lithography machine.

Asmail had just joined the LLC alliance at this time, and he could only act as a pawn, not even a thug, because his strength was really not enough, and he was not qualified to compete with Nikon at all.

Nikon doesn’t give way too much. In fact, there are a large group of Japanese semiconductor manufacturers behind it. You must know that Nikon is the same as Alcatel’s mobile phones. Chips, operating systems, lenses, etc. are all produced by Nikon. The industrial chain is all in their own hands. If it doesn’t work, they buy it from Japanese benzene manufacturers. This makes Nikon’s cost a lot lower than that of American lithography machine manufacturers such as GCA, and it grabs a large order.

According to the American routine, if you can’t beat Nikon head-on on the lithography machine, then you have to do it secretly. What tax issues, the federal court has imposed heavy fines, if it doesn’t work, just find a reason to dismantle Nikon, anyway It’s not that America hasn’t played these games against Japan Benzene before. It’s a big deal to do it all over again. It’s true that the federal soldiers in Japan Benzene still have a large no-fly zone for display!

After purchasing Alcatel mobile phones from Zeiss and Leica, with high-end lenses, plus PA semiconductors, Alcatel mobile phones are also qualified to join the LLC alliance!
ASML is eligible to join the LLC alliance and get countless resources, technologies and benefits. Why can't Alcatel mobile phones and PA semiconductors? !
ASML has been able to become the leader of the global lithography machine and semiconductor industry from the remote Netherlands. The LLC alliance has made great contributions. It not only provides technology for ASML, but also helps ASML find a A large number of parts suppliers in the United States provide parts for ASML, otherwise, how can ASML suddenly reach the sky in a few years.

Intel, which is now leading the LLC alliance, will benefit from the development of the highest-end lithography machine in the future. At the critical moment, Intel can make the LLC alliance and ASML refuse to cooperate with Intel's opponents, and come up with a trick Huanglong.

Facts have also proved that ASML, which was fed by LLC, has been chained by LLC from the very beginning. ASML’s key technologies and parts are all supplied by the LLC alliance and American parts manufacturers. Don't dare to turn against the LLC alliance.

Intel and the LLC alliance agree to whom ASML sells the lithography machine to, it can sell it, and if they disagree, it cannot sell it!

Alcatel mobile phones and PA semiconductors, which now hold high-end lenses, are naturally eligible to join the LLC alliance.

But Song Yang is not prepared to let Alcatel join the LLC alliance and work for Intel as a younger brother. Why can it control the LLC alliance and indirectly dominate the entire global semiconductor industry.

What Intel can do, why can't Alcatel mobile phones do it, and America doesn't name it Intel!

Song Yang is going to let Alcatel mobile phone and PA Semiconductor join the LLC alliance, and make a move to occupy the magpie's nest, crowd out Intel, and dominate the LLC alliance. Using the technology of the LLC alliance to directly develop the lithography machine, anyway, it can't be cheap and let Intel take it!
Of course, such things as doves occupying the magpie's nest must not be obvious, nor can it be done in a short while. Now the LLC alliance is still making cakes. Alcatel mobile phones and PA semiconductors have enough time to secretly poke Get ready to grab the cake.

Compared with Intel, Alcatel mobile phones and PA Semiconductors are far inferior in the semiconductor industry, and their connections, technology, and influence are not as good. Donations from several major laboratories, attracting member companies of the LLC alliance.

In addition to the upcoming American elections, if the Elephant Party wins, there will be more room for Alcatel mobile phones to operate, and it will be directly robbed. What can Intel do with Alcatel mobile phones?

It's a big deal, I don't want to lose face, I just ask the commander's office to come forward and forcibly declare that Alcatel Mobile has won, and the LLC alliance belongs to Alcatel Mobile, so what can Intel do? !

After the acquisition of Zeiss and Leica, Alcatel mobile phone did not directly take over the two companies, but integrated the technicians of Zeiss and Leica to establish a world-class imaging lens laboratory to develop mobile phone cameras for Alcatel mobile phones.

As for other departments on both sides, such as the semiconductor department of Zeiss, they also began to cooperate with PA Semiconductor. As for the operations and personnel of Zeiss and Leica, Alcatel Mobile did not intervene.

What is the way to keep a tiger alive, that is to throw a comparable opponent to it, to ensure that it is alive and well, and does not dare to take a nap.

Zeiss and Leica have been enemies for a century. Alcatel Mobile acquired them in the hope of using their technology, but not for their retirement. If the two companies were merged and directly took over, in the high-end lens industry, after no rivals, maybe , After a few years of raising it, it will be abandoned...

Acquired Zeiss and Leica, but still let them operate according to the previous model. Wherever it has made achievements, Alcatel Mobile will invest more resources and funds, give bonuses to their management and technical personnel, and even One day, if Zeiss and Leica completely surpass each other and want to swallow the other party, Alcatel mobile phones will not support it. Anyway, let the two rivals fight. The more fierce they bite, the Alcatel mobile phone can sit still. Reap the benefits of the fisherman and get more benefits!

The launch event of Alcatel's new mobile phone is getting bigger and bigger every year, and more guests and media are paying attention to it.

During the P1 and P2 press conferences, Alcatel mobile phones still need to pay public relations fees. Those media and celebrities are invited to attend the mobile phone conference. Except for ICNC and other own media, there are very few media broadcasting the conference. Now, There is no need for the Alcatel mobile phone to pay public relations fees, and the media and TV stations applying for live reports and broadcasts have already formed a one-stop queue!
