reborn in the fiery age

"Old Xu, let me say a number, and you will understand. In 98, the total global panel output value was 50 billion US dollars. In 99, it was 100 billion US dollars. In 00, it was 170 billion US dollars. It is possible to exceed 130 billion US dollars per year.

This is an emerging high-tech industry with an average annual growth rate of more than 70%. Once LCD TVs replace CRT TVs, the annual output value of this market will definitely exceed [-] billion US dollars.

Huatou is currently one of the largest and strongest players in this industry. If nothing goes wrong, we will occupy about [-]% of this market this year. This means that the GDP of Guangguang LCD industry chain will increase this year. The value is more than [-] billion.

This year, my country's GDP should be around [-] to [-] trillion. That is to say, with just one LCD panel industry alone, Huatou can contribute more than [-]% of the country's GDP and increase foreign exchange reserves of more than [-] billion US dollars!

Once the market size reaches 30.00 billion U.S. dollars, and we occupy more than 5000% of the share, then how much, maybe [-] billion in GDP added value a year,!

This is true of liquid crystals, and so is semiconductors. No, it should be said that the market size of semiconductors is at least five times, ten times that of liquid crystals!Of course, the bigger the scale, the more and stronger the competitors, but the truth is the same! "

Hearing this, Mayor Xu finally understood why Sun Zujie was not nervous about the huge loss of Oupai Electronics. Huatou actually stood firm in such a blue ocean with huge potential.

In this case, even he would invest like crazy, and he would stick to it no matter how much he lost. The reason is very simple, the market cannot be at a low point forever.

When others can't afford to reduce production or stop production, Huatou is likely to be able to make profits with capital in one year, just like two years ago!

Chapter 997-998 A new generation of multinational giants

With the successful commissioning of the fifth-generation LCD line and continuous losses, OPPEIN's other worry that LCDs cannot compete with plasmas has slowly dissipated.

The reason is really simple. With the commissioning of multiple LCD production lines at home and abroad, the price of LCD panels has continued to plummet.After the slump, the original relatively narrow field of use of LCD panels began to expand.

With the expansion of the field of use and the surge in usage, the production cost will inevitably decrease; as the cost decreases, the production company will generate profits, and then the related companies will naturally increase R&D investment, further reduce costs, improve technology, and further improve the quality of LCD panels.

Such a positive cycle, no matter how much Sun Zujie said, it would be better to experience it in practice. After seeing the prototype of this point, Boss Zheng immediately let go of his heart. Although the losses were serious, he still increased the LCD field on a large scale according to the plan. input.

Oupai LCD is not only unable to make profits, but also to lose money. The more losses the better, as long as LCD TVs gain a foothold in the market and consumers form an inertial thinking, plasma and picture tube color TVs are finished.

As long as he thinks of the huge sales volume of color TVs in the world every year, Boss Zheng will be very excited.Now the Japanese people are going the wrong way. The scale of Nanchao and Wanwan is not as good as Huatou. This is a godsend opportunity!

Once successful, Huaguo people will occupy a promising emerging industry not only in terms of scale, but also in the commanding heights of technology.The potential size of this market is too large, no matter what, we must fight!

Regarding this point, President Yan and Deputy Director Qi both expressed cautious optimism. Now it seems that Huatou is indeed on the right path, but they are not sure whether they are so optimistic.

The premise for Huatou to achieve all this is that they are losing money. Although the promotion of new products does require investment, they cannot continue to lose money like this!

Of course, Sun Zujie and Zheng Fei's analysis is indeed very reasonable, and they have already seen this trend, but with such a huge loss, as number one and number two, their pressure is also surprisingly great.

Despite Sun Zujie's various preparations and Huatou's huge profits in the mineral resources sector, the current center has long been accustomed to Huatou's huge profits, and still feels uncomfortable with such losses.

When a good child makes a mistake, the parents must be very concerned and will ask it several times; but if the bad child makes another mistake, the parents will not take it seriously.

This is about Opie Semiconductor. Since the establishment of Opie Semiconductor, it has continuously put into production a number of production lines, coupled with increasingly large technology investment, so Opie Semiconductor sometimes has more losses on its books, and sometimes less, but It's always red.

After seeing too many scarlet letters, the central government got used to it naturally. After asking, the bosses asked, and after knowing where the losses were, they nodded, and there was no more to say.

This year, as the new generation of lithography machines and supporting equipment entered the final stage of general attack, the investment was so large that even Sun Zujie, who was used to seeing big money, was very surprised after hearing the report.

The actual total loss in the first half of the year was close to 60 billion. On the one hand, the losses in the two major sectors of semiconductors and memory were scary, and on the other hand, Huatou’s investment in the field of semiconductor equipment entered a climax.

More and more money is spent, and the effect is just now. The technical difficulties of the new generation of lithography machines have almost been overcome. Next year, Huaguo will successfully develop a lithography machine that reaches the international advanced level.

Of course, the process level has been leveled, but the production efficiency is still a lot worse, but it doesn't matter, such a breakthrough is enough, and the blockade of Europe and the United States on Huaguo lithography machines may be forced to cancel.

After 20 years of hard work, Huatou has finally entered the Colosseum, the center of the world's semiconductor field.What will happen next, Sun Zujie does not know, maybe it will be forced to open, maybe it will be a deeper blockade, no one can say.

After listening to the report, Sun Zujie asked very calmly, "If there is a complete international blockade now, how much can our equipment self-production rate be?"

Boss Zheng glanced at Mayor Xu, and Sun Zujie waved his hand, "Except for Mayor Xu and Secretary Li, the other comrades go out for a while!"

After the entourage left, Boss Zheng said, "Even with the achievements of the spare tire plan, we can only meet about 40.00%!"

Sun Zujie was not surprised by this number, the time was too short, he thought for a while and said, "This ratio is not enough, at least a 70.00% localization rate must be achieved before we can truly stand firm.

But the new generation of lithography machines must also be used. We can't hide it anymore. Let's do it. It's the old way to exchange technology with foreign countries. But who and when to change it is very particular. You need to carefully consider this area. I want to take a good look at this report. "

Hearing what Sun Zujie said, Mayor Xu's eyes lit up. He found that Huatou had something he didn't know about, the backup plan, what kind of plan was it, and it was kept so secret, so many people had to be kicked out; and Li Yang obviously saw it for the first time, and she also stared at Sun Zujie, hoping that he would continue talking.

It's just that Sun Zujie didn't fulfill their wish, but asked another matter, "Old Zheng, we have fought so fiercely with Samsung, how will the Japanese plasma panel manufacturers react?"

"Hehe, Sun Zujie, the Japanese people's reaction is unexpected. They haven't changed much, they seem to be just watching the fun!"

"Even if we and Samsung have a big enmity, we haven't fought enough for more than a year? Do they really think we are fools, or do they think our money is falling from the sky? These devils are too dull! "

"Hehe, Mr. Sun, it's better to be like this, I wish the Wa people would never wake up!"

Mayor Xu was even more shocked at this time, could it be possible, could it be possible that Samsung and Oupai Electronics, who have been calling all the time, are acting, how is this possible?

Seeing that Mayor Xu was so shocked, Sun Zujie turned his head to look at Li Yang who was also shocked, and said with a smile, "Do you need an explanation?"

The two nodded together, and Sun Zujie smiled and said, "Hehe, Zhiyuan, please explain it!"

This year, the semiconductor market has undergone tremendous changes, and the pressure to develop a new generation of lithography machines is increasing, but the difficulty of technological breakthroughs is also increasing.

The Japanese were still the same as in their previous lives, falling headlong into a dead end, and even Asimai was trapped, and invested a lot in the dead end, but the latecomer Asmail was obviously not as strong as the Wa people.

ASML's technicians searched patents and found that some unknown small companies have applied for some very interesting patents.ASML conducted some research based on these patents, and they soon discovered clues to the development of immersion lithography machines.

This is actually not new, because the immersion lithography machine has been proposed as early as the 80s, but due to various reasons, no project has been realized.

As a small company, it is obviously impossible for ASML to take two routes at the same time, but this does not prevent them from making some technical reserves. In addition, they also want to know which company it is. After all, this circle is very small. , Other lithography machines are trivial.

Due to cultural differences, there are also many gaps in the writing of patents. After a little analysis, ASML quickly realized that the applicant for the patent was from Hua, so without thinking, he knew it was Tianyi-European Alliance.

Surprised, they conducted a comprehensive search. After some research, Asmer was extremely surprised to find that Chinese people had been researching immersion lithography machines for at least ten years.

Reminiscent of the great progress that Huaguo people have made in the semiconductor field over the years, ASML is keenly aware that Huaguo people are likely to find their own way, and have made considerable progress in the research and development of another technical route, immersion lithography machines.

In connection with ASML's current research and development difficulties, ASML and the Philips behind it researched and formally requested Huatou to visit and visit the Huaguo lithography machine.

There were no such requests in the past, but Huaguo always refused for various reasons, but this time Asmer's statement is very interesting. We know that you have made great achievements in immersion lithography machines.

As long as you are willing to take it out and it is really valuable, we are willing to cooperate with you. Please remember that it is not only the request of ASML, but also the request of the entire European and American semiconductor industry.

The meaning revealed in the words is obvious, if you don’t let us see it, then you can figure it out, if there is a technical blockade at that time, then you can’t blame us, this is the domineering of the technology leader.

The rapid progress of Huaguo's semiconductor industry in the 90s has attracted more and more attention from Europe and the United States. Huaguo people are not only producing some shoes and hats as outsiders imagined. Their high-tech industry has already made considerable progress. Although this Not well known.

Huatou Semiconductor is just the epitome of Huatou's high-tech industry. This Huaguo's state-owned enterprise giant has performed well in recent years in the emerging communications, electronics, semiconductors, new energy vehicles, large-scale equipment precision manufacturing, and even the medical industry. All remarkable.

Even in the field of aviation, Huatou has produced its own first-generation regional aircraft and is actively developing the second-generation mainline aircraft. At the same time, they are also working hard to develop various types of turbofan engines.

The persistence and huge investment in the high-tech field of Huatou, a combination of military and civilian, has aroused deep concerns in Europe and the United States. This is one of the reasons why George regarded Huaguo as a strategic competitor immediately after he came to power.

There are various indications that the people of Huaguo are on the right path. They have used their latecomer advantage to start a frenzied catch-up, and have even taken the lead in the world in some fields.

This is already the case now, so with the continuous development of Huaguo's national strength, the scale and strength of Huatou Group will definitely continue to grow. Don't mess around and cultivate a huge competitor.
