At present, Flamingo Company is at its peak, and third-party game manufacturers have finally surrendered!

In fact, they have no choice.

In the home console market, Flamingo-1 accounts for more than 90%, and even if they abide by the premium system, they can make a fortune.

However, as more and more game companies agree with the premium system, Flamingo's profits will increase significantly.

Although there are many junk games on the market, there are also some good games. Transplanting from Atari 26oo to the Flamingo-1 platform can bring 2o% share of revenue to the Flamingo Company, and some arcade games can also be transplanted.

In addition, the premium system stipulates that the game cartridges are produced by the Flamingo Company, and in the end they are naturally handed over to the ant factory for production.

Therefore, the Ant Factory must be expanded!

Ant Factory is now producing game consoles, game cartridges and other related products for Flamingo Company, and is also producing network cards for Galaxy Network Company. In addition, even the movie video tapes of 1i Company are produced by Ant Factory. It won’t take long to produce the graphics workstation of Sun Computer Systems Company here. At the same time, Ant Factory has also begun to accept OEMs for other electronic products, including personal computers, TVs, etc.

Ant Factory has gradually expanded into a huge electronics factory.

Near the Ant Factory, some accessories factories were established like mushrooms after a rain, such as plastic factories, steel factories, etc. Flamingo-1 game consoles and game cassettes are not cutting-edge technology. Li Zetian is willing to purchase some simple accessories from these factories. Moreover, the things they produce are of high quality and low price, which can save money for the company.

"madta" is not a false name

...

...

The success of Flamingo Company brought huge income to Li Zetian, giving him enough financial resources to realize his plan.

The acquisition of Disney is just one of them. The most important thing is that it wants to integrate the upstream and downstream chip industrial chains!

The most important device for making chips is a chip lithography machine.

There are very few companies in the world that can produce chip lithography machines, and you can count them even with your fingers because the technology involved in lithography machines is too high.

So far, there are three main lithography machine manufacturers. One is Esmore, now belongs to Philips, and has not yet been independent. The other is Nikon and Canon in Japan.

Compared with Nikon and Canon, Esmore can only be regarded as a rising star.

Some people have summarized the reason why Japanese semiconductors were so awesome in the 1970s and 1980s, saying that because Nikon and Canon's lithography machines are powerful, Japanese semiconductor manufacturers are using these two lithography machines, so the products produced by these semiconductor manufacturers are very excellent.

However, with the rise of Esmore, global semiconductor manufacturers have switched to this company's lithography machines, but Japanese manufacturers still use Nikon and Canon lithography machines with backward technology, which has led to the competitiveness of Japanese semiconductor products. Therefore, the decline of the entire Japanese semiconductor industry was caused by Esmore!

There is an unwritten saying in the semiconductor industry in my previous life: Wherever Esmore technology goes, the global semiconductor process is where it is.

Obviously, this sentence is enough to explain all the problems.

Inte1 is also using Nikon and Canon lithography machines, but the purchase price is much more expensive than Japanese manufacturers. Therefore, compared with Japanese semiconductor manufacturers, Inte1 has a lot more costly construction costs in the factory. In addition, the best and most advanced lithography machines are usually obtained by Japanese semiconductor manufacturers at the first time.

Inte1 company lost to Japanese semiconductor manufacturers in the memory market, and it is indeed not unfair to lose.

...

By the end of the year, all financial statements were released.

The most amazing performance was of course Flamingo Company, with sales exceeding $100 million. Since game consoles are not profitable, the profit is only about $1.54 billion. However, the game console platform is a money tree, which will continue to bring rich revenue.

Next is Violet Records. Michael Jackson and Yu Jingqiu both sold more than 400,000 records. In addition, there are MV, Michael Jackson commercial performances and endorsements, earning $1.25 billion for the company. However, this is a special situation and will not make so much money in the future. The mtv music TV network has been exhibited, and it has also successfully recorded "The Voice of America". It is currently undergoing post-processing and will be broadcast next year. In this regard, Li Zetian only learned about it and paid less attention to it. He almost completely delegated power to let them operate it themselves.

Galaxy Networks has also started to make profits this year, selling 845,000 network cards, sales reached US$210 million, and profits reached US$100 million.

Star Wars Films has net revenue of $850 million.

As for other companies, their performance has improved significantly compared with previous years.

Finally, it was counted that revenue exceeded US$500 million and profits were around US$10.5 billion.

As usual, donate money to the L.Y Foundation to reduce taxes every year, and then take out part of the funds to pay dividends.

In order not to pay the 2o% dividend tax, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu transferred their shares to the Umbrella Company, which has $2.48 billion on the books!

At this time, Li Zetian had enough confidence to integrate the chip industry chain and carry out highly vertical integration!!!

However, Esmore is now a department of Philips, and I don’t know if it’s possible to buy it?

In fact, Li Zetian’s concern is redundant.

The reason why Esmore was independent from Philips was because at this time, Philips' economic situation was very bad and was implementing a large-scale layoff plan, and there was no way to fund Esmore.

Li Zetian sent someone to investigate and soon learned about these situations.

"The right time, place and people! It seems that the success rate of buying Esmore is very high! Haha..." Li Zetian couldn't help but laugh happily.

"The God of War", Li Zetian immediately sent someone to communicate with Philips in the name of Times Technology and spent $500 million to acquire Esmore.

Philips was a little reluctant at first, but soon fell under the powerful money offensive and accepted a purchase price of $550 million.

Philips obviously did not realize the importance of lithography machines, otherwise they would never have sold them.

The Netherlands did not come forward to stop Times Technology's acquisition.

This made the acquisition very smooth.

Li Zetian couldn't help but feel proud, as if he had obtained a huge advantage, but it was indeed the case.

The task of acquiring Aismore to integrate the chip industry chain has been half successful.

However, it is not enough to acquire Esmore alone, and you still have to invest huge amounts of money in research. As we all know, high technology is very expensive, especially lithography machines. It is normal for you to research products that have not been produced for several years.

Dongfang Yuqin smiled bitterly and said to Li Zetian: "Mr·li, is this investment too risky? Aesmore President and Technical Director Bulingke said that for research, we need to invest at least 200 million US dollars. And because they have extremely strict quality requirements, we cannot guarantee that new products can be released within three years..."

Without thinking, Li Zetian said with a smile: "Tell them that Times Technology is willing to invest 400 million US dollars for research!"

"Uh, okay!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded helplessly. She was not optimistic about such a company that cost a lot of research but had no products for a long time, because the variables were too big in the middle...

However, Li Zetian thought that the only lithography machine company that can challenge Japan's Nikon and Canon is Esmore. So, what he needs to do now is to fully support Esmore, and then defeat Nikon and Canon, so that the Japanese semiconductor industry will never recover from now on!!!

Of course, at the same time, it also makes its own chip industry unique, and then uses its powerful chip technology to produce semiconductor products!

Esmore is headquartered in the Netherlands, and Li Zetian did not move it to the United States because it has many research partners in Europe, including Dutch universities and European research institutions.

However, Li Zetian established an Aismore American Research Center in the United States and an Aismore Asian Research Center in Hong Kong. In this way, Asia, Europe and America have research centers to accelerate the opening of new products.

The news of Esmore's acquisition is not noticeable except for the concerns of competitors and semiconductor manufacturers. In fact, even if Esmore became a lithography giant, not many people in the world know about this company. However, Esmore is the truly awesome company. Almost all semiconductor companies around the world have left Esmore. Before Li Zetian traveled through time, the euv lithography machine, known as the "ultimate weapon of the semiconductor industry", was Esmoremin's, with each machine priced at over 100 million US dollars!

Japan's Nikon and Canon are not enough to beat Esmore!

Li Zetian's confidence has increased greatly at this moment and is full of confidence. Little Japan, my brother is here to destroy your semiconductor industry with his own hands!!!

Subsequently, Li Zetian began to look for other semiconductor equipment manufacturers without stopping.

At this time, he remembered a person, a Chinese.

"Genius has emerged from Chinese since ancient times!!!"

"Chinese are really one of the smartest people in the world!!!"

Li Zetian said with deep emotion.
Chapter completed!
