Eight Hundred and Sixtieth Chapters: I Am a Local Tyrant
The market has a ceiling theory.
What the ceiling theory says is that the space on the ceiling is relatively limited.
If someone else occupies the ceiling, it will be difficult for you to stand up.
And even if you can stand up, the other one has to step down.
Reaching ceiling heights in new territory is undoubtedly much simpler than ousting everyone else.
Although the valuation reported by Chen Yu is sky-high, he is not wrong at all.
Other fields have a series of giants entering, and they have been difficult to enter.
Even if they are rich, these giants may not accept their financing.
The video field can be said to be the last ticket to the Internet field.
The result was no surprise. After a group of capital met to discuss, they finally agreed to Chen Yu's $20 billion valuation offer.
...
"Mr. Chen, the data on my side is out."
Far away on the other side of the ocean, Chen Yu received a call from Lin Benjian.
"So fast?"
"Actually, these data are not difficult. I have an idea before. In addition, Mr. Chen supports us so much, and the equipment we bought back is also powerful, so we have calculated the data in the early stage."
"Great."
I didn't expect that Lin Benjin's execution was so powerful.
How long has it been since Chen Yu said that a series of data problems encountered by the lithography machine have been resolved.
"What are you going to do next?"
"Mr. Chen, I think so. Our lithography machine plan starts from scratch. If we start from scratch, it will take a long time. My suggestion is to first acquire a lithography machine company, and then build on this foundation. Let’s study our wet lithography technology.”
"Acquiring Nikon?"
"Mr. Chen, your appetite is too great, even if we can afford it, they won't sell it.
"
"Uh, which one to buy? Are there any research on lithography machines in our country?"
"There is one company, Shanghai Microelectronics. Although their technology is quite different from Nikon and asml, as long as our wet lithography technology research is successful, we can definitely surpass them within three years."
"Okay, how much is this company worth?"
"About 5 billion."
"What about the research costs invested later?"
"The first batch may cost 10 billion."
After thinking about it, Lin Benjin reported a number.
Of course, this 10 billion is not enough, even the amount of the first phase.
However, considering the situation of Huanyu Technology, Lin Benjian still reported to the small.
But Chen Yu heard what Lin Benjian meant: "Haha, are you worried that the company has no money. How can 10 billion be enough? In this way, I will give you 20 billion."
Huanyu Video's financing was successful, and Chen Yu was confident.
He wished he could say to Lin Benjian, don't be polite to me, I am a local tyrant.
"20 billion?"
Lin Benjian was taken aback.
"Why, 20 billion is not enough?"
"Enough is enough, the first phase of the study is more than 20 billion."
"It's okay, the research investment is more generous. In addition, the acquisition of the microelectronics company is also faster. If they don't sell us for 5 billion, they will sell us 6 billion. If they don't sell us for 6 billion, they will sell us 8 billion. Try to buy time."
What is lacking in the domestic lithography machine is time.
The method Chen Yu used at the moment was to use money to buy time.
"Mr. Chen, will this cause problems with the company's cash flow?"
"If you have any questions, don't worry. Don't say it's the first phase. Let me tell you, I will help you with all the funds you need for your wet lithography technology."
If it wasn't for Lin Benjian not here, Chen Yu really wanted to show him the account in the bank.
A few days ago, Chen Yu was leaning on the ring
Yu Video has raised $8 billion in funding.
Although 8 billion may not be enough to create a complete wet lithography process, Chen Yu is confident that after a while, the valuation of his Huanyu Video can double again. If it goes public at that time, let alone a lithography machine company, he can withstand both.
...
"Brin, there must be something we haven't discovered."
"Peppa, what are you talking about?"
"If I knew I wouldn't be so depressed."
Google founder Page is already a little crazy.
Obviously he felt that there was something in Huanyu Video that he hadn't discovered, but he didn't know what it was.
It feels really bad.
"Page, there's no need to be so anxious, we still have the advantage of traffic."
"Now we have a traffic advantage, but not necessarily in the future."
"Actually, it's not impossible, or should we start the money-burning mode?"
Brin proposed to Page.
"Burn money?"
The proposal caught Page's eyes.
The most terrifying means of the Internet is not technology or operation, but burning money.
As long as you have money, you can burn out a well-known Internet website.
As long as you burn the opponent to the point where you have no money to fight with you, you will succeed.
"Brin, your proposal is a good one."
Paige suddenly felt much better.
Youtube has raised a huge sum of money before. If they start the money-burning mode, Huanyu Video will definitely not be able to withstand it.
It's just that when Google is ready to start the money-burning mode.
However, the media revealed a piece of news that Huanyu Video received an offer from Mogen Investment with a valuation of $20 billion.
...
"Zhang Lei, what do you think of the wet process proposed by Lin Benjian?"
TSMC, Zhang Zhongmou took out a report at the bottom in the drawer.
This is the feasibility plan of the wet lithography process written by Lin Bengan before.
However, Zhang Zhongmou did not reply for other reasons at that time.
But man is a strange creature.
When Lin Benjian went to Huanyu Technology, Zhang Zhongmou felt extremely regretful.
"Mr. Zhang, although Lin Benjian's plan seems feasible, it costs too much money, far beyond what a company can afford. Moreover, if it fails, it will be a devastating blow to the company."
"But what if it succeeds?"
"this……"
Zhang Lei hesitated, but still said, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, Huanyu Technology can't come up with so much money."
"Can't you get it?"
Zhang Zhongmou shook his head: "Don't forget that Huanyu Technology has a hen that can lay golden eggs."
This hen refers to the friend network.
The liquid crystal display business of Huanyu Technology and the foundry business of OEM electronic products in Guanlan Park, these funds are all from the friend network. Although Friends.com will not directly give money to Huanyu Technology, but Huanyu Technology is the largest shareholder of Friends.com.
"Mr. Zhang, it is because Chen Yu drew too much blood on Friends.com that they dare not continue to borrow funds. Unless, Huanyu Technology creates another company with a valuation of tens of billions of dollars like Friends.com."
After Zhang Lei finished speaking, Zhang Zhongmou looked straight at him.
"boss Zhang?"
Zhang Lei said weakly after being stared at by Zhang Zhongmou with some resentment.
"Check to see if Huanyu Video has the capital to contact them recently."
Check this.
Zhang Zhongmou's eyes were dazed.
There is an intuition in his heart that tells him that in the future semiconductor business, TSMC will have some challenges.
