In the chip field, there is a device called a lithography machine, not a money printer, but it is more expensive than a money printer.
Only in the world, there is only one Dutch company called Asme (ASML) The company is a masterpiece of the global high-end manufacturing industry, which is made in one year Twenty high-end devices , TSMC and Samsung broke their heads for this every year. SMIC waited for three years and failed to marry China ’s first EUV lithography machine.
But in fact, as early as the 1980s, Asme was still a small joint venture company owned by Philips. The company’s 31 employees are counted as bosses, and they can only squeeze in a temporary board room next to the Philips headquarters. You can see a huge trash bin next to the board room as soon as you go out. When going out to sell, it can only be in the name of the parent company, and it is weak, pitiful, and helpless against the opponent.
