Chapter 422: Global Finals

Chen William has been with Ivanta and their daughter in the magic capital until December 15th.

At this time, the privatization of STMicroelectronics has been completed, and Southern Cross Holdings spent a total of about 7.5 billion US dollars to fully acquire one of the three European semiconductor giants.

After the acquisition of STMicroelectronics, the company will be merged with South Korea's Hynix Corporation and renamed Eurasian Semiconductor Group.

Eurasia Semiconductor's memory business is all under the Hynix Company, while other businesses are still managed and managed by Eurasia Semiconductor Group.

This time, after the merger of Hynix, the Eurasian Semiconductor Group has become the third largest semiconductor company in the world after Intel and Samsung Electronics.

When he was in Modu, William Chen also took the time to go to Xinwu to meet with local government officials. Because Hynix-ST Semiconductor, located in Xinwu, is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise jointly established by Hynix and STMicroelectronics, which is dedicated to the manufacture of memory.

Now, after the merger of Hynix and STMicroelectronics, the company will be renamed Xinwu Hynix Semiconductor, becoming the Huaguo Company of Hynix, a subsidiary of the Eurasian Semiconductor Group.

Chen William told local officials that after the company's name and shares have been changed, Eurasia Semiconductor Group will continue to increase investment in China, and will combine Hynix and STMicroelectronics in South Korea and Europe. The production line was gradually transferred to China.

His remarks naturally made the local government very satisfied, expressing that Eurasian Semiconductor Group is welcome to invest and build factories in China, and will also give relevant preferential policies.

In fact, when he acquired Hynix and STMicroelectronics at that time, William Chen promised each other that they would upgrade their production lines in South Korea and Europe to improve their technical level and precision.

Now it is time to transfer the old production lines of these two companies in South Korea and Europe to Huaguo, and build more advanced production lines locally.

It's not that William Chen doesn't want to upgrade the production line in China. It's just that there is a Wassenaar Agreement. Many high-end technologies are restricted to China, and they can't be put into China at all. Otherwise, The entire Eurasian Semiconductor Group is likely to be sanctioned by the European and American governments. After all, Japan's Toshiba Company secretly sold high-precision machine tools to the Soviet Union. After being discovered, they were all sanctioned, which is also very helpless.

But even so, the local government in Xinwu is very satisfied. After all, this will inevitably expand the scale of Hynix's production base in Xinwu, which is very beneficial to the local economic and technological development.

After William Chen acquired STMicroelectronics and Hynix, it naturally attracted the attention of many people. In the past, there were very few real companies in his industry, such as Meta Technology and Meta Entertainment Media, which seldom designed the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Now he suddenly acquired STMicroelectronics and Hynix and merged them into The world's third largest semiconductor company, is he going to start the manufacturing industry?

His move made people very puzzled. After all, the semiconductor industry is currently in a low ebb.

Some people even speculated in the report that the only thing related to William Chen's current industry is the manufacture of mobile phones. Moreover, he has not only invested in Huaguo's Xiaomi, but is also the largest shareholder of Apple. Could it be that he Do you want to expand to the upstream of mobile phone manufacturing?

Then, it is very likely that he will acquire a mobile phone chip company next. I wonder if it is Qualcomm or Texas Instruments?

Er, after seeing this report, William Chen was suddenly greatly inspired. Actually, this can happen.

However, the current mobile phone chip market, whether it is Qualcomm or Texas Instruments, is not so easy to acquire, as for Samsung Electronics, it is even more impossible.

However, there is still a suitable company, and that is MediaTek. After MediaTek launched a mobile phone manufacturing solution, with the outbreak of Huaguo copycats, its performance has skyrocketed. Now, it has not reached that time node, so Among the major suppliers of mobile phone chips in the future, MediaTek is currently the most likely to be in the bag.

Therefore, he immediately sent someone to contact MediaTek, hoping to invest in or acquire the company.

It's just that this kind of negotiation will not come to fruition in a short time, and now, he is also ready to leave China and go to Atlanta.

Because with the approaching of December 15th, Riot Games' League of Legends S1 season global finals will be held there.

In this competition, 24 teams will be selected from 12 regions around the world to enter the final global finals, and the total prize money of the global finals of this S1 season is as high as 25 million US dollars, which is very attractive, so each National trials are very competitive.

After nearly half a year of competition, in the final LPL competition in mainland China, the finalists for the global finals were Yang Mi's HTG team and Xiao Wang's IG team.

In the LPL finals, Yang Mi bought its LOL branch from the WE club. After making some adjustments, he defeated Xiao Wang's IG team, won the LPL championship, and won the hero entry. One ticket to the league's S1 season global finals The IG club as the runner-up also got another ticket to the S1 season global finals.

For the global finals of the League of Legends S1 season this time, not only has it attracted attention in the game circle, but Youku and Netflix will open a special column on the video platform to release all the game videos and interviews of the finals Highlights and other programs.

The reason why William Chen is going to be there in person is also because the League of Legends S1 season global finals will be the first time that Atlanta has officially appeared in the global media after the reconstruction. People from Youku and Netflix will go to the scene to record, and many game media reporters around the world will go to Atlanta, which is also a good test for the tourist carrying capacity of Atlanta at this time.

In addition, the projects of streamer grass and vitality ball that have been developed before have also made progress, and some of these products will also be unveiled in the global finals of the League of Legends S1 season this time. Atlanta is still more important.

All teams in the world that are shortlisted for the global finals of the S1 season will be provided by the organizers of the competition with round-trip air tickets and room and board in Atlanta.

With the investment of funds, South Pacific Airlines has increased the routes from Atlanta to various major countries, and the first phase of the Love International Airport terminal has been put into use. All players will be in their respective countries. Depart from nearby airports with routes to Atlanta, arrive at Love Island, which is affiliated with Atlanta, and then follow the Ahe Sea Bridge to Atlanta.
