Chapter 93 The end of the first year!
If you visit the streets of Tokyo during the Christmas season, you will find that the festive atmosphere here is actually not worse than that from Europe and the United States.
The same Christmas tree, the same jingle bells, and there are also Santa Claus wearing a red Christmas hat. The only difference is probably the people with black hair and black eyes on the street.
President Takeda Kuchi's holiday life is very exciting. In order to relieve the depression in his chest, he took his wife and daughter to go skiing to Hokkaido. In addition, he also tasted delicious king crabs and the famous Sapporo craft beer in Otaru.
After the holiday, Takeda Bear returned to his office. The latest information sent to him by Secretary-General Makoto Seibe was like a wake-up call, making President Takeda dizzy.
During Christmas, domestic manufacturers did not have holidays, and they continued to conquer cities and land in the country.
News came from Huaxia headquarters that the last customer of Xinyue Chemical, Tianma, has officially made a decision and will no longer renew the contract with Xinyue Chemical.
At this point, Xinyue Chemical has fallen across China.
Starting next year, their share in the China photoresist market will drop directly from 14% to zero.
Takeda Kuchichi felt his hands trembling. Founded in 1926, Shinyue Chemical, which has a history of nearly a hundred years, was actually cleared in the Chinese market! It was cleared!
This is simply a shameful defeat of losing armor. If it were put in the past, President Takeda would probably have to cut off his stomach before apologizing.
Makoto Hasegawa lowered his voice, "President, not only us, but other manufacturers have also lost all of the Chinese market. This morning, Tok and Mitsubishi Chemical have officially announced that they will withdraw all their personnel in China to the headquarters. I believe that it will not take long before other manufacturers will take the same countermeasures."
This news made President Takeda feel a little relieved. It was not only himself who failed, but other giant companies also failed.
"Forget it, at least we still have four major markets, Neon, Wanwan, South Korea, the United States, and the four major markets. As for globally, China's photoresist consumption only accounts for 35%, and there are still 65% of the vast markets that we need to operate." Takeda Keika said.
After he finished speaking, he saw Secretary-General Makoto Seiba's expression distorted, looking like he wanted to speak but stopped.
"Bastard!" Takeda roared, "Why is this expression? Are you hiding something from me??"
Hasegeebe was frightened and had to tell the truth to the president, "Thirty minutes ago, Intel announced that it had reached a strategic cooperation with Xingchen Technology and would fully adopt the new fully synthetic photoresist produced by Xingchen Chemical."
What!?
Takeda Bear jumped up from the sofa and spent Christmas in Hokkaido. During his time, Star Technology actually took down the semiconductor giant Intel!?
Who is Intel?
The benchmark in the semiconductor industry, the whole world is using Intel's CPU and North-South Bridge chips. They are the most powerful semiconductor group on the earth!
Star Technology actually took over Intel?
Oh my god!
Takeda Bear felt a split headache, and his eyes suddenly turned black and he fell heavily towards the sofa behind him.
......
At the end of December, with the strongest player in the domestic photoresist field, Xingchen Technology began to take action, and this New Year offensive, which revolves around semiconductor consumables, finally reached its final climax.
When news of Star Technology officially becoming Intel's global supplier on December 28th, the technology circle completely exploded, and countless colleagues engaged in the semiconductor industry even shed tears in excitement.
"Star Technology actually took down Intel? That's too awesome!"
"Full synthetic modified photoresist? This should be considered the seventh level, right?"
"Almost all, Xingchen Technology is worthy of being the most fighting tough guy group in the Chinese technology circle. There was no seventh-level photoresist in the world. Xingchen Technology created one for him!"
"Domestic upstream semiconductor consumables are directly supplied to top global manufacturers. This is the first time in history! You must have two drinks tonight!"
Major professional forums were instantly in full swing, and even Weibo and WeChat also showed discussions.
Although most onlookers don’t know the difference between photoresist and rubber, who doesn’t know that Intel can supply Intel is definitely awesome.
The most painful thing is the seventeen giant companies that originally dominated the photoresist field.
They were just abused by the four major domestic factories led by Xinyang in China, and they were so angry that they had finished Christmas. When they looked back, they were all stunned. The base camp was copied by Xingchen Technology!
Intel's significance is not just a factory, but an industry benchmark!
Even the photoresist that Intel is using shows that the quality of the photoresist of Xingchen Technology must be so good that it is irresistible.
As more and more news comes out, the fact that StarChen Technology's photoresist can increase the yield rate by two percent directly caused global semiconductor factories to explode.
Now it is not that you accept or not as a supplier, but that major semiconductor factories are asking Xingchen Technology to supply it as soon as possible!
With such fierce competition, the yield rate is two percent lower than others, which would be fatal!
On December 29, Star Technology won the North American semiconductor giant Texas Instruments.
On December 30, TSMC, the world's largest semiconductor foundry giant, announced a contract with Star Technology.
For a time, the strongest group of Chinese technology companies attacked wildly everywhere, and wherever they passed, they were as unstoppable as steel torrents, quickly sweeping across the global semiconductor consumables market!
The seventeen international giants suffered heavy losses.
In the high-end market, Xingchen Technology is in a state of great momentum.
In the mid- and low-end markets, there are four major domestic manufacturers led by Xinyang who are eyeing each other.
This is a comprehensive offensive from high-end to low-end!
It’s so scary. The Chinese manufacturer has made all seven levels from low-end photoresist that costs 80,000 yuan per ton to fully synthetic modified photoresist that costs 1 million yuan per ton!
Among the five major manufacturers, Xingchen Technology doesn’t need to mention it. They specialize in making the highest-end products and plunder the largest profit in the market.
The other four major manufacturers are also very powerful. Their quality comes from the patents and technology of Star Technology, and the price is the traditional bargain price of Chinese manufacturers.
The once arrogant industry giants suddenly discovered that they can't beat Xingchen Technology at the high-end level, and their prices can't beat Xinyang, Boyue, Ruihong, and Science and Technology Innovation.
Overnight, it was at the point where I wanted to completely withdraw from the industry!
In fact, they have done it. Considering the factors of international relations, major semiconductor factories will still give a certain share to traditional manufacturers. Although the huge profits have been terminated, the market can still be left with a part and will not be completely destroyed by the Five Tigers of China.
What is really uncomfortable is the major chaebols in South Korea.
Samsung, lg, Hynix, they once let it go and would never use photoresist from China manufacturers even if they die. Now Star Technology's fully synthetic modified photoresist has emerged, and they are so anxious that they are like ants on a hot pan.
If you go to seek Xingchen Technology, people may not be able to give them face.
If you don’t ask for it, you will watch your yield rate lag behind your peers and your costs remain high, and you will gradually fall into a disadvantage in the global competition. That is how you can cry without tears.
So far.
Dow, DuPont, Hunsman, JSR, Shingoe, Tokyo Eki Chemistry, Fuji, Sumitomo, Tok, Mitsubishi Chemistry, Asahi Kasei, Hitachi Chemistry, Shinnifero Chemistry, Sun Ink, LG Chemistry, Higashi Chemistry, Morton Chemical.
The rule of the 17 giants over the photoresist industry has officially come to an end.
Time flies.
In the crazy offensive planned by Star Technology, the technological world is in chaos.
The old time is slowly coming to an end.
Chapter completed!
