Chapter 360 The Stock Market Collapse of Foreign Giants

On this day, Max Technology Headquarters is in the Netherlands.

Vermeton came to the workshop and communicated with their company's chief scientific research engineer.

"Hey, Chief Engineer, I would like to ask, when will our NAEUV lithography machine be officially put into production?"

Vermeton asked anxiously.

"No, boss, our NAEUV lithography machine is still under testing. In the latest test, the yield rate of the 2-nanometer wafers we produced had serious problems, so it is still under testing."

explained the chief engineer.

"What? How long do we need?"

How could Vermeton not be in a hurry? Huaguo Haoxia Technology has now produced a 1-nanometer lithography machine.

The chief engineer said helplessly: "It may take half a year at the earliest."

"What? Half a year? Do you know that the boy named Su from China has already made a photolithography machine, and he can also make 1 nanometer wafers!"

Vermeton was anxious.

"I'm very sorry, boss, I can only try my best."

The chief engineer said helplessly.

At this moment, Vermeton's assistant hurried over.

"What's wrong, Nelf?"

Vermeton asked angrily.

"Sorry, boss, there may be an urgent matter that needs you to deal with."

"What's the emergency?"

"Didn't you tell us that we had to place orders for next-generation lithography machines with five wafer manufacturing companies, but they refused."

Assistant Nelf explained.

"What? They rejected the photolithography machine order? Why?"

Vermeton couldn't believe it.

The five top wafer manufacturing companies in the world all purchase lithography machines from Max Technology.

In the past nearly ten years, these five companies also relied on advanced photolithography machines to manufacture wafers and made a lot of money.

Now these five wafer manufacturing companies have actually rejected purchase orders for new-generation lithography machines. You know, they used to rush for orders.

Nilf explained: "They said they would wait until our lithography machine is manufactured, and they said that their future wafer manufacturing orders have shrunk significantly, and their business has been affected."

“Business has been hit?”

"Yes, it is said that more than half of the wafer orders from various countries around the world have been snatched away by China's Shanyin Science and Technology and Jiuyue Core Electronics."

Nelf said helplessly.

"What? Even if China has just produced a photolithography machine, their OEM production speed cannot be so fast, right?"

Vermeton couldn't believe it.

"Boss, our people just sent a message. It is said that Haoxia Technology in China can produce 150 photolithography machines in one year."

Nelf said again.

"This is impossible!!"

Vermeton's eyelids twitched.

How is this possible!

You know, the EUV lithography machines produced by Max Technology can only produce 50 units a year!

Now HaoXia Technology produces NAEUV lithography machines, producing 150 units a year?

This is three times the production capacity of Max Technology!

"this……"

Vermeton was completely dumbfounded.

He was the only manufacturer of high-end lithography machines in the world, but no longer.

And he will face a significant reduction in the company's future orders!

"Damn it! Is our status as a technology giant no longer guaranteed?"

Vermeton really couldn't accept this result.

"Boss, if orders shrink in the future, our R&D expenses will also shrink."

Nelf said gloomily.

"Damn! This guy named Su is responsible for all this. How could he produce a super lithography machine! Is he God? How did he do it!"

Vermeton shouted loudly.

He used to sneer at the boy named Su, but now he was slapped in the face!

At this moment, suddenly the vice president of Max Technology came to the workshop in a panic.

"No, boss."

"what happened?"

"Boss, you'd better come and see it in person with me."

Vermeton then followed the vice president to the computer in the office.

The computer displays the stock market page, and the stock price on this page is exactly the stock price of Max Technology.

"Um?"

Vermeton saw at a glance that the stock price curve of Max Technology turned out to be a cliff-like downward curve.

"Boss, our stock price plummeted 30% within an hour of opening, and it continues to plummet."

Vice President Max explained.

"What's going on? Who's selling our stock?!"

Vermeton's expression changed.

A 30% plunge in just one day clearly means that big market makers are selling their stocks, which otherwise retail investors would not be able to do.

Vice President Max gritted his teeth and said: "Boss, I asked someone to investigate. It is Morgan Stanley Capital and Damai Capital that are secretly selling!"

"What!!!"

Vermeton was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

These two are both Tom Guohuazi Street capital giants and the two largest shareholders of Max Technology.

Now these two capital giants are selling Max Technology's stocks. What does this mean?

This shows that the two major capital investors already feel that the stock price of Max Technology will fall in the future, and if they continue to hold it, they will only lose money.

As for the capital giants in Huazi Street, they all put profits first and are the most realistic.

If this continues, the continued selling of Morgan Stanley Capital and Damai Capital will cause a heavy setback to Max Technology.

The key is that this is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that these two major capital dealers will trigger a chain reaction.

Because there are three other capital giants holding Max Technology. If the other three also want to sell, then Max Technology may really be doomed.

"Damn! Shameless! These bastards!"

Vermeton immediately dialed Camelli's number.

"Hey, Camelli, what's wrong with you? You're selling stocks at this time. Do you know the serious consequences?"

Vermeton said angrily.

"Vermeton, please calm down. You have to know that if I don't sell the stock at this time, I will lose money. You should also understand me."

Camelli explained.

"But this way you will make investors throw away Max Technology as rubbish. Isn't it so unethical of you? What a bastard. Besides you, there is also that guy Stanmore."

Vermeton cursed loudly.

"Vermeton, Stanmore is right next to me. Yes, this sale was agreed upon by the two of us."

Camelli doesn’t hold back either.

At this moment, Stanmore's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Hi, Vermeton, you know, we are capital dealers and our interests come first. We sell at a high level and let retail investors take over. This is in our interests. If you successfully develop an NAEUV lithography machine, we will also Will be back.”

Stanmore said shamelessly.

"Damn it! You bastards! I am a technology giant! Abandon it when you say it will! You bastards who only care about money! God will punish you!"

Vermeton said angrily.
