On December 8, according to the scheduled plan, the photoresist battle will be fully launched.

The four major domestic manufacturers, Xinyang, Boyue, Ruihong, Science and Technology Innovation, began to distribute goods first, and the first wave of offensives rushed to the domestic market.

As a semiconductor consumable, the war in the photoresist industry is completely different from the mobile phone industry.

After all, photoresist can't advertise and compete in marketing, let alone hold new product launches, ordinary consumers will never know the existence of this war.

However, within the technology circle, the news that the four major domestic factories began to release goods was like a deep water bomb, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.

After all, this is a photoresist, a typical high-quality product. Without photoresist, you can't imagine making any chip. It is the lifeblood of the semiconductor industry and the display industry.

Moreover, this is the first time in history that Chinese manufacturers have made great progress in the upstream of semiconductors.

For a time, the number of online visitors to major professional forums skyrocketed, and everyone was nervously waiting for news.

"SMIC has officially received supply from four major manufacturers and is undergoing testing!"

"BOE also received it, the laboratory is working overtime tonight!"

Netizens working in major semiconductor factories or panel factories began to report the situation to the audience. Whenever a new message came, a wave of comments would be frantically browsed in the forum.

Products that have truly reached the peak of the technology industry have never had a second way except for performance and price hard bars.

It is useless to play with the domestic brand. If the performance does not meet the standards, even if it is said that, SMIC will not buy even a ton of products. In this field, it is all about strength!

"Huaxing Optoelectronics has received the goods!"

"Yangtze River Storage starts testing!"

"Southern Fujian Jinhua begins testing!"

As more and more latest news comes, major forums are completely exploded.

Although Xingchen Technology, which everyone is most concerned about, has not officially entered the market, the four major photoresist factories have already made a name for themselves. In just one day, all domestic factories that use photoresist have arrived.

After the goods arrive, the inspection will be launched online, which is a key part. If the test performance meets the standards, domestic manufacturers are happy to replace it in China.

The four major domestic factories are different from Xingchen Technology. They have mature production lines and labor, and there is no cost problem, and they are even lower than those of overseas manufacturers, and have an advantage in price.

In the next week, domestic semiconductor people will feel as happy as the New Year.

The test results show that the six-grade photoresist produced by the four major manufacturers are not inferior to those produced by imported goods at all, and are even better than imported goods in terms of technical indicators and prices.

According to business logic, even if the test is passed, it is impossible to exchange imported goods on the production line for domestic products in such a short time.

But everything is exceptional, and domestic manufacturers really can't find a reason to not support domestic products, so they signed supply contracts with four major photoresist factories.

It is also a coincidence in terms of time. Usually, the supply of high-quality raw materials like this requires a contract to be signed in advance. The validity period of the contract is as long as one or two years, and as short as one quarter.

The time when the four major factories release goods is just at the end of the year, the old contract is about to end, and the new contract is not yet signed.

More and more good news comes. Domestic customers who use photoresist, led by SMIC and BOE, have signed supply contracts for the next year with four major domestic manufacturers led by Xinyang.

Although we had long expected that domestic manufacturers would definitely support domestic photoresist, such good news came one after another, which still made the domestic technology circle crazy excited.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After completing the domestic distribution of goods, the four major factories tried to enter the international market, but in the international market, they suffered a crushing defeat without exception.

Even if the price is slightly lower than that of international giants, overseas manufacturers are still unwilling to replace the neon goods they are using with products from China.

Wanwan Province's major manufacturers, TSMC, Taiwan Power, China Screening Co., Ltd., etc., all said that the matter of replacing suppliers should be cautious and cautious, follow the process and conduct small batch trials first.

Their caution is understandable. After all, domestic manufacturers have no experience in global supply before, and they have not said anything. They should not be impatient in everything, but take it slowly.

The most intense reaction was that Korean manufacturers, such as Samsung, LG, and Hynix, all said that even if they died, they would not use photoresist produced in China. In the field of photoresist, they only use products from Dongjin Chemical and LG Chemical.

Although the attempt to enter the international market has been thwarted, no matter what, at least the country has blossomed in full swing, and colleagues in the technology circle are still very proud.

The only thing that puzzled them was where did they go, the initiator of this war, Xingchen Technology?

......

Santa Clara, California, USA.

When An Ran and Zhang Dongning came here, it was December 20th, Western Time. In a few days, it was Christmas. There were lights on both sides of the streets, and Christmas trees were lit at the doors of major technology companies.

The festive atmosphere is strong, and the only disadvantage is that there is no snow in California and there is no reindeer pulling a sled.

An Ran and Zhang Dongning rented a Lincoln car at the airport. They didn't even go to the hotel to store their luggage and came directly to Silicon Valley.

An Ran revisited the old place. He had been intern in Silicon Valley for a period of time and received invitations from many world-renowned companies. However, in the end, he chose to return to China.

Thinking about it now, that might be the wisest decision in An Ran's life. As soon as he returned to China, he met Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong, and the two deans introduced him to Luo Jia.

An Ran started to do it with a try-through mentality. Now he is Luo Jia’s right-hand man, and he is one of the most popular figures in the domestic and even global technology circles.

The car stopped in the parking lot, An Ran pointed to a white building a few hundred meters away and said to Zhang Dongning, "Look, that's the headquarters of Amd. The building on the right is Nvidia, and the parking lot under our feet belongs to Intel."

Zhang Dongning was slightly stunned, "These three companies are all mortal enemies. They are so close to each other, and they can see each other in the office!"

An Ran smiled, "This is Silicon Valley, the global high-tech industry flagship. Where we are stationed, there are more than 40,000 high-tech companies. The GDP created by just one county in Santa Clara accounts for 4.7% of the entire United States."

"The average age of people living here is only 29 years old, but they are the place with the most millionaires in the world. Every square kilometer of land here can create 80.5 billion output value!"

Zhang Dongning was surprised at first, then became excited, "According to what you said, today is a memorable day. After all, this is the first time since our company was founded, we have entered the base of the technology industry from eastern China!"

An Ran laughed loudly. He and Zhang Dongning walked side by side and came to outside Intel's global headquarters. They were stopped by two fat black guards.

Perhaps because Christmas is approaching, they are wearing blue police uniforms, Colt pistols are inserted around their waists, but red Christmas hats are worn on their heads.

"Two gentlemen, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?" The guard stopped An Ran and Zhang Dongning.
