Chapter 361 The end is coming and the stock price collapses
"what?"
"What are you talking about? Say it again."
The reporters were all startled by the grinning Smit. This guy couldn't stand the excitement and went crazy.
See who bites whom later.
Robert shouted loudly without taking it too seriously:
"She is asking you. Peninsula Technology has developed a 134-nanometer light source. What do you think?"
He had a joking look on his face. If Smit wanted to slap him in the face, he would naturally slap it back.
Smit immediately shouted:
"Impossible, this is simply unrealistic. They must be cheating. Can Dongzhou Monkeys develop something that is one generation ahead of ours?"
"They must be committing academic fraud!"
The reporters watched Smit's performance like a clown.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Mr. Schmidt, the research results of Peninsula Technology's Dr. Lin Benjian have been verified by many industry experts on site. Facts have proved that Peninsula Technology has indeed developed a 134-nanometer light source!"
Smit still did not believe that the results of Peninsula Technology were real, and he yelled:
"Those experts and organizations must have been bribed by the Peninsula. We spent so much money and effort to develop the 157-nanometer laser. How could they develop the 134-nanometer light source before us?"
Everyone looked at him like a clown.
Krombauer, who had always felt embarrassed in the audience, also realized the seriousness of the problem.
If Peninsula Technology really develops a 134-nanometer light source, how will he and ASML respond?
It is very possible that ASML's stock price, which has finally risen recently, will collapse or even fall below the issue price, and his many years of investment will be in vain.
The most important thing is that the family elders will definitely not let him go.
Because he only held the shares on behalf of the family, it was the family that used funds to take over the shares from Cayman Capital, which harmed the interests of every member of the family!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.
"That's enough! Smit, I think we should immediately send a team to verify Peninsula Technology to verify whether their research and development results are true."
Smit, who was on the verge of collapse, came back to his senses.
He picked up the microphone and shouted from the air:
"We seriously suspect that Peninsula Technology has committed academic fraud and hope that the Semiconductor Association can send a team to come to find out. If the fraud is verified, I hope the relevant departments will severely punish Peninsula Technology."
At this point, they are still taking chances.
What if, no, Peninsula Technology must have made a fraud, and this is an own mistake.
After the news report, there was an uproar outside the stadium.
There are many beautiful Chinese people who still believe in Asmer’s rhetoric and denounce Peninsula Technology.
Almost all TV stations are laughing at Peninsula Technology.
But their bodies are honest, and ASML's stock price is falling steadily.
Seeing these reports, Wang Lei just smiled:
"People only want to see what they want to see, so tell Smit and Kembauer that the door of our Peninsula Technology is always open to their expedition team, and they can come to verify the authenticity at any time."
Who are the people in the American Semiconductor Association?
Almost all of them came from Fairchild Semiconductor Company. They are known as the Eight Rebel Generals. Almost all the semiconductor industry in the United States is controlled by these people.
Of course they were on the side of their little brother Smit. Before they left, the old man in the lead patted Smit on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, what's fake can't be true, and what's true can also be false."
But after watching Lin Benjian’s demonstration with my own eyes.
A traitor immediately appeared among them.
Who are they? Semiconductor businessmen from the United States, their interests and the survival of their own companies are what they value.
The infiltration method is indeed real. It can make the light source reach 134 nanometers. And according to Peninsula Technology, their technology can be mass-produced soon!
If you don’t beg for mercy at this time, are you really going to follow ASML and die for the 157nm dry lithography machine?
Faced with the Eight Traitor Generals' flattery, Qiu Mingxiang did not respond immediately. In fact, it didn't matter whether the Yankees admitted it or not. With this technology in hand, Peninsula Technology could only make more money or less. With several major buyers from Dongzhou, , they are not worried about the lack of sales of new photolithography machines after they leave the factory.
In order to show sincerity, the American Semiconductor Association immediately notified the media to recognize the advanced status of immersion technology in the field of micro-optics and affirmed Peninsula Technology's outstanding contribution to human scientific progress.
As soon as this news came out, the world was in an uproar.
Smit was confused. What was going on? Why were all the big brothers rebelling?
Klumbauer's last hope was extinguished.
As soon as the market opened the next day, ASML's share price began to plummet like a cliff. It only took three days for ASML to fall below the issue price.
Financial institutions have re-rated ASML, turning it into a junk stock.
The original market value of hundreds of billions evaporated in an instant.
The investments of several major investors have subsequently shrunk.
The huge investments made by the Ross family, Guy, and Microsoft all came to nothing.
ASML collapsed so quickly that they had no time to withdraw their funds.
Because of wrong investment, Microsoft's stock market plummeted. When Microsoft fell, the entire IT industry also fell.
The result can be imagined.
Smit was retaliated by angry investors.
Although he was very careful, he was still assassinated and died in a security company in Heizhou. The killers were extremely cruel and even his wife and children were not spared.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that I hate him to the core.
Kembauer also lost contact immediately.
In fact, he is a coward at heart. He used to like to hide under Guy's wings and pretend to be powerful, but now he does not dare to face inquiries from his family, so he can only act like a coward.
His evasion made the Ross family's elders very disappointed.
In addition to the financial losses, more importantly, Klumbauer lacks the courage to face the trough. How can such a person take on such a heavy responsibility?
The elders are very distressed. The elite teachings they believe in seem to have failed.
With Guy like this, Krombauer didn't even have the courage to commit suicide, and all that was left was a bunch of food and wine.
The only thing that drew their attention was the woman Akhben.
It seems that choosing Akhben as the head of the family is also a good choice. At least this woman is the best among all the heirs in terms of earning ability. She also has a ruthless personality and is excellent in many trials.
But when they turned their expectant eyes to Akhben, they thought they would receive Akhben's gratitude, but they were simply rejected:
"I think my life is very good now. Austin's growth cannot be separated from me. If possible, I would rather be a housewife."
The clan elders feel humiliated. Are you, Akhben, willing to be a housewife?
Even if you say it, you won’t even believe it, but the clan elders found that they can’t fall out with Akhben yet. The family suffered losses from Asmer’s investment, and the Lantau Island project in Hong Kong City is still a mess. Now the family can’t live without Akhben. That excellent ability to make money.
