Back To 1995

   Chapter 859 The dove occupies the magpie's nest

   In the past few years, a large acquisition of tens of billions of dollars may attract the attention of the entire America, and even countless overseas companies and many media, and will be widely reported.

But no matter how delicious the food is, it can’t 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 killing them crazy, and they are hundreds of billions of dollars at every turn. of major mergers.

Alcatel took out more than 10 billion US dollars this time to acquire Zeiss and Leica, occupying the global high-end optical lens market in one fell swoop. If it wasn't for the fact that the acquirer was an Alcatel mobile phone, it also coincided with the upcoming release of the new Alcatel P3, said Maybe no one will pay attention to these two acquisitions at all!

After all, cameras and lenses are not a high-end or neck-choking industry at all these days. The Bigger of Leica cameras sounds really high, something like a royal family's use, but that's all, in the camera market , It is not that Sony, Nikon, etc. continue to erode the market.

What really makes Zeiss the world's lens leader is the cooperation with ASML to provide lenses for lithography machines. ASML has become the father of global semiconductor and chip manufacturers in one fell swoop. The Asmar of the lithography machine only has to swallow it up, and Zeiss also follows the chicken and dog!

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 under 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 of the lithography machine industry, Nikon of Nippon Benzene, is fighting with GCA, the leader of the lithography machine of America. The old way, can't solve your Nikon, can't solve Japanese benzene...

On the Amerika 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 dominated by Capitol Hill and gathered Aramco Liga's top laboratories, including the three major laboratories under the Federal Ministry of Energy, Berkeley Lab, Sandia Lab, Livermore Lab, IBM, AMD, Motorola, etc. have all joined the alliance to prepare for research and development. EUV lithography machine.

  Asmar just joined the LLC alliance at this time, he can only act as a horse boy, and he can't even be called a thug, because his strength is really not enough, and he is not qualified to compete with Nikon at all.

Nikon is not too arrogant. In fact, there is also a large number of Japanese benzene semiconductor manufacturers behind it. You must know that Nikon is the same as the current Alcatel mobile phone. The chips, operating systems, lenses, etc. are all produced by Nikon itself. The industry chain is all in their own hands. It is really impossible to buy them from Japanese benzene manufacturers. This makes Nikon's cost a lot lower than that of GCA and other America lithography machine manufacturers, and has taken away a large amount of orders.

According to America's routine, on the lithography machine, if you can't defeat Nikon head-on, then you have to start secretly. What tax issue, the federal court fined a lot of money. Amelica's dealing with the Japanese Benzene Company, it is not that they have not played these, the big deal is to do it again, it is really a display in the Japanese Benzene federal soldiers and a large no-fly zone!

  Acquired Zeiss and Leica's Alcatel mobile phones. With high-end lenses, PA semiconductors and Alcatel mobile phones are also eligible to join the LLC alliance!

  Asmar is eligible to join the LLC alliance and get countless resources, technologies and benefits. Why can't Alcatel Mobile and PA Semiconductors? !

ASML has been able to go from a remote Netherlands to the leader of the global lithography machine and semiconductor industry. The LLC Alliance has made great contributions. It not only provided technology for ASML, but also helped ASML to find a company. A large number of America parts suppliers provide parts for ASML, otherwise, how could ASML suddenly rise to the sky in a few years.

Intel, which now dominates the LLC alliance, will develop the most high-end lithography machine in the future, and it will benefit from it. At critical moments, Intel can let the LLC alliance and ASML refuse to cooperate with Intel's opponents and make a move. Huanglong.

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

  Intel and the LLC alliance agree that ASML will sell the lithography machine to whom it can sell it. If they do not agree, it cannot sell it!

  Alcatel mobile phones and PA semiconductors with high-end lenses are naturally eligible to join the LLC alliance.

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

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

Song Yang is going to let Alcatel Mobile and PA Semiconductor join the LLC alliance, and make a move to occupy the nest, squeeze out Intel, and lead the LLC alliance. No matter if ASML becomes a company under PA Semiconductor, or goes shirtless, PA Semiconductor will With the technology of the LLC Alliance, the direct research and development of lithography machines, anyway, can not be cheap and let Intel take it all!

Of course, dove occupying a magpie’s nest is definitely not something that can be done clearly, nor can it be done in a short time. Now the LLC alliance is still making cakes. Alcatel mobile phones and PA semiconductors have enough time to poke secretly. Poke ready to grab the cake.

Compared with Intel, Alcatel mobile phones and PA semiconductors are naturally far less powerful in the semiconductor industry, and their connections, technology, and influence are not as good. Several major laboratories donated to win over member companies of the LLC alliance.

   In addition to the upcoming election in America, if the Elephant Party wins, then there will be more room for Alcatel mobile phone operation, and it will be directly robbed. How can Intel handle Alcatel mobile phones?

   It's a big deal, I don't want to face, I directly invite the office of the commander to come forward and forcefully 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 phones did not directly take over the two companies, but integrated the technical personnel of Zeiss and Leica to establish a world's top imaging lens laboratory to develop mobile phone cameras for Alcatel mobile phones.

   As for other departments on both sides, such as Zeiss' semiconductor department, they also began to cooperate with PA Semiconductor. As for Zeiss and Leica's operations and personnel, 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 are enemies for a century. Alcatel Mobile bought them because they hoped to use their technology, not to give them pensions. If the two were merged and taken over directly, in the high-end lens industry, after losing their rivals, maybe , after a few years, it will be abandoned...

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

   The launch of the new Alcatel mobile phone is getting bigger and bigger every year. The guests present and the media concerned are also increasing year by year.

During the P1 and P2 conferences, the Alcatel mobile phone still needs to pay for the public relations. Those media and celebrities are invited to participate in 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 Alcatel mobile phones to pay for PR fees, and the media and TV stations applying for on-site reporting and broadcasting are already lined up!
