Chapter 305 Singing the mark

Although Zhou Shuo was running the train all over, Shiraishi Morina really believed it. A truly clever lie is not how tight the logic is, but how it can reflect the real world. Although Zhou Shuo's words are carefully considered, there are actually many loopholes. Fortunately, the Soviet electronics industry was not as weak as people thought.

Although the Soviet electronics industry was not good, it was difficult to produce large-scale and was a pure institutional problem. But in the laboratory, the Soviet Union had already implemented the 0.5 micron process as early as 1990. It seems that the Chinese took advantage of Su Dongpo's role and really found a leak.

Without Zhou Shuoduo's words, Jasmine Shiraishi, who is clear about the development of lithography machine technology in the world, he has fully comprehended the plot in this himself.

Bidding continued in this process of asking and answering questions, from the overall design idea of ​​the lithography machine to the resolution of the alignment system of repeated exposures. From the product yield rate to the average daily output...

The four lithography machine manufacturers can be said to be verbal battles and close forces. In such close-range competition, no one will make any mistakes at all. As long as they catch a little bit of chasing, they may be able to cause major hidden dangers when they are dizzy. Therefore, no one will have any thoughts of showing mercy, or laughing at each other to eliminate grudges.

Overall, Asmay is definitely the first in technology. Behind him is the German Carl Zeiss, the lens material comes from Corning, the United States. Technically supported by ibm and Intel, the American Applied Materials Company also has unclear relationships with him. Many of the parts are imported from the United States. Under such a lineup, of course, it is the well-deserved first.

Of course, in the 1990s, the technology requirements of lithography machines were not so abnormal. Nikon's lithography machines were of limited margin than ASMA. After all, although Nikon had a great family, he had always been self-reliant. From lens processing to system integration, he did everything he could do.

Although Nikon's technology is on the same line as ASMA. However, the gap between the system integration, automation and mechanical processes of the entire machine has accumulated little by little. But in general, the lithography machine market is still a monopoly form of the two giants ASMA and Nikon. If Huajing purchased not a 0.5 micron process lithography machine, but a 0.35 micron lithography machine, then the only two of them can provide it in the world. Just hold a meeting behind closed doors, who will play a bidding game with you?

People are the real seller's market. There are only six words that are particular: if you like to buy, if you don't buy, get out of buying...

Just talking about Asmay's development of the 18nm process, you can see how awesome they are. As a downstream manufacturer, Intel first spent 3.3 billion euros to buy 15% of the shares before getting the ticket. Later, TSMC and Samsung wanted equipment, and they also had to invest in real money. Want to buy ready-made equipment directly? How could there be such a cheap thing?

Of course, this is the market in 20 years. Now Asmay has neither shown absolute advantages to Nikon, and the R&D costs of lithography machine technology are as abnormal as high.

But in the lithography market, Asmay is the first and Nikon is the second. There is basically no objection. It is probably not a big problem for Canon to sit in the third position. However, whether Fanhan Group can sit in the fourth position is intriguing.

The on-site inquiry phase gradually came to an end. Zhou Shuo, with his knowledge reserves of twenty years, competed with these three companies. Although the lithography machine of Fanhan Group was mainly transformed using a 0.8 micron process lithography machine of the microelectronics center, it has never been sold publicly.

What is the performance after the modification? Isn’t it that he says it? He doesn’t really want to win the bid. Of course, he can run the train with his mouth. Just pay a little attention and don’t go off the wrong way and let someone catch his braid.

But the more relaxed and natural he was, the more frightened Shiraishi and Orlando. The more they targeted Zhou Shuo, the less they felt. It seemed that the lithography machine launched by Fanhan Group was really at the same level as their own products! How could this be possible? Both companies invested more than ten years in the field of lithography machines to have such technical accumulation. Asmay became independent from Philips in 1984, let alone Nikon's history.

What about the history of Fanhan Group? It’s only a year and a half! This is a monster that popped up from a stone! After the joint questioning of the two major companies, he was still at ease and seemed to have not yet seen the bottom!

The two of them didn't know whether what Zhou Shuo showed was his full skills. Thinking of the previous investigation report of Mitaro Shiraishi, Morina Shiraishi felt that the Panhan Group might have gone further on this road. This urgent sense of crisis forced her to make up her mind to prevent the target from being obtained by Panhan Group this time.

If Zhou Shuo takes the order of $700 million in his hands, I wonder what kind of qualitative change will be caused!

"Okay, we have fully understood the performance of lithography machines launched by the four companies and the key points of the system solution." Fang Jiange nodded with satisfaction. The seemingly endless debate finally came to an end. He had to pretend to be excited and overwhelmed by listening to a lot of inexplicable nouns. This is really a test of acting skills!

"Next, we need the bidding unit to quote the target. The quotation is divided into two parts, namely the overall quotation and the sub-item quotation. Then we will enter the bargaining stage and finally form the result of this bid."

After Fang Jiange finished speaking, the manufacturers began to rush quotation work. From this point, we can see whether the companies are preparing for the bidding work sufficiently. Quotation is the most test of the combat effectiveness of a bidding team. If you want to find a way to find a way to find a way to get it back from here. Those with leading technology must consider how to avoid being swelled by the people behind.

"From the original price, cut another 30%." Zhou Shuo pursed his lips and said fiercely.

The bidding teams of Fanhan Group gathered together at this time, and a group of people formed a circle holding documents in their hands. After Zhou Shuo gave the order, he began to nervously calculate his own price.

In some places where the costs are already very high and cannot be reduced, the share must be moved out where there is still energy. In this way, you have more and less, so that Zhou Shuo’s goal can be gradually realized. The other three companies are similar, and it is impossible to set the price before bidding, and they all have to be temporarily weighed on the spot. The pressure and wisdom here are the most tests of the ability of the bidding leader.

The entire bidding process lasted from morning to night, and it was not until Huadeng first went to the four companies that came out of the final offer.

The sealed document bag was collected by the staff with the quotation documents. Then, under Fang Jiange's personal attention, they were disassembled one by one for public announcement.

"The Netherlands Asmay Company, the total price is 150 million US dollars." Fang Jiange looked at it, nodded and reported the price.

Asmay's quotation was first taken out, forty 0.5 micron process lithography machines, and their total quotation reached 150 million US dollars. This price has to be said to be really sincere. The international quotation of a lithography machine is usually 3 million US dollars. However, when it comes to these advanced technical equipment, it is not a problem to float 100% during the export process to mainland China.

Even if you buy Asmay's second-hand equipment in China twenty years later, if you only change the factory price, it will be a conscientious price.

Nowadays, the 0.5-micron process lithography machine provided by Asmay to Huajing is a mainstream international equipment. It only adds 25% to the basic price. In history twenty years later, it can be envied by domestic wafer factories in Poyang Lake.

"Japan Nikon Company, the total price is 130 million US dollars." Fang Jiange put down Asmay's offer and picked up Nikon's offer. He looked at Shiraishi's seductive young woman's charming charm, as if he smelled her body fragrance on the documents.

Under Fang Jiange's satisfied gaze, ASmai's bidding team couldn't help but sigh. Nikon's offer was really good. It was 20 million less than ASmai, and it had a slight advantage in overall cost-effectiveness. The price difference of more than ten percentages is enough to get this project.

Fang Jiange then picked up the next document, opened it but was a little stunned. He read out Canon's offer in surprise: "Japanese Canon Company, the total offer - 180 million."

When he looked at the Canon bidding team, he could clearly see the decayed expression on the other party's face. This was a serious bidding mistake. Obviously, Canon was still looking at this project with old thinking. Canon's normal international quotation should be less than 110 million. According to the practice of exports to China, it is completely acceptable to increase the price by 70 million.

Unfortunately, Canon's technology is not as good as Asmay and Nikon. Such an accident occurred again, and it can be said that it has withdrawn from the bid early. It is not a big reason for Canon to hold the old concept. In the development progress of Nikon and Asmay's competition for the next generation of lithography machine technology, this order of $700 million is too important, so that Canon has no sense of urgency in this regard.

Fang Jiange put Canon's offer aside and no longer cared about him. He picked up the last file bag and slowly opened the file bag and took out the files inside, chanting loudly.

"China Panhan Group, the total price is RMB 688 million, equivalent to US$80 million!"
