Chapter 354: Acquisition of "Happy Twist"

"Okay, Sister Hui, I consider you a friend, but you actually want to sleep with my boyfriend."

"Who told you to hide it from me? You don't know that when you found out that your boyfriend was the founder of Huanyu Technology, you almost scared me to death. No, you have to compensate me for the mental damage and personal expenses, otherwise, I will risk my life. No, I You have to call Chen Yu."

Extremely excited, Li Hui called Chen Yu.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Sister Hui, what's going on?"

"What do you think?"

"I have no idea."

"Fake it to me, our Chairman of Huanyu Technology, Director Chen. It's so hard for you to hide this from me."

"Sister Hui, I didn't hide anything from you."

Chen Yu was not surprised when he received Li Hui's call.

"Didn't you say you are the second generation of rich people?"

"That's what you said."

"Didn't you say that your family owns a hotpot restaurant?"

"My house is indeed open."

"How come you are exactly the same as what Lu Xue said?"

"Yeah?"

"Anyway, I don't care. You and Lu Xue lied to me together. How can you make up for it?"

"What compensation?"

"For example, do you still lack a girlfriend?"

"puff……"

If it's worse, Chen Yu will spray water.

"Chen Yu, be serious, I'm serious."

"Sister Hui, what kind of compensation is this? In fact, you have made a lot of money?"

"How can I make money if you hide it from me?"

"Think about it, after embracing Huanyu Technology, you will become a rich woman from Peking University. Since you are a rich woman, what else do you need for a boyfriend? You can support ten or eight of them, what do you think?"

"Oh my God, Chen Yu, your thoughts are so messed up."

"Is it too little? Why don't you pack more? Change one every day and don't repeat the same thing every day. Is it exciting enough?"

"roll……"

Chen Hui was so angry that Chen Yu turned her back and said, "Lu Xue, your boyfriend is so shameless."

…

"Mr. Chen, being able to invite Professor Wang Ren to join us makes me more confident in our lithography machine research."

"Mr. Lin is too polite. I have been in school for decades. I may have more experience in theory, but in practice, I am still far behind compared to Mr. Lin."

"No, Professor Wang, I must read every one of your papers in the field of optics."

"General Engineer Lin, your wet lithography theory is also very innovative. If successful, it may change the current pattern of lithography machines."

Huanyu Technology, Chen Yu, Lin Benjin, Wang Ren, Zhang Rujing, Li Biqing, Wu Kai, He Tingbo... and others were gathered together.

Everyone was happy to poach Wang Ren.

In order to better lay out the chip business, Chen Yu also took the opportunity to help Wang Ren and called over all the people in charge of the semiconductor business of Huanyu Technology.

"Don't be polite to each other. Engineer Lin and Professor Wang are both experts in the field of optics. From now on, you must support each other in the field of lithography machines."

Chen Yu interrupted the two people's polite exchanges with a smile, and then said: "Today, I am here to greet Professor Wang Ren. Secondly, I also want to invite everyone to sit together and talk about what we have not done enough about chips. of."

"Dean, you come first."

Chen Yu always respected Dean Li Biqing and was the first to let Li Biqing speak.

"I'm semi-retired and don't have any important suggestions. But regarding semiconductor talents, I think the company needs to do more digging and absorb outstanding talents from all over the world."

"I also agree with this."

He Tingbo also nodded: "We started late in the semiconductor field. Although we seem to be developing well now, there is still a big gap with the giants. If we want to close the gap in this field, we can only rely on us But no, we have to have a series of top talents from around the world join us.”

"In addition to talent, we also have to watch out for competition from a number of competitors. Not only TSMC, but also ASML from the Netherlands, Nikon and Canon from Japan, and Samsung. We have to guard against these."

Zhang Rujing took over.

Center International has been developing well recently, but this does not guarantee that it will continue to develop so well in the future.

Making chips is not only a problem with the photolithography machine, but also chip manufacturing is a huge challenge.

"Well, these opponents are very strong and we cannot take them lightly."

Chen Yu still considered this.

Then Lin Benjin also said: "The photolithography machine may cost a lot of money in the future. Mr. Chen, I don't know whether this will have an impact on the company."

"General Engineer Lin, don't worry about this. I will guarantee you this money."

There was Friends.com before, and later Chen Yu launched Huanyu Video. Both of these websites are terrifying monsters that attract money.

With these two websites, Chen Yu is not afraid of running out of funds.

Again.

Now Huanyu Technology’s earning power is also reflected.

Especially when it comes to hardware, apart from mobile phones, the profitability of the Pear 4 generation is also quite high.

This can in turn support Huanyu Technology’s semiconductor business.

"Mr. Chen, I think..."

After Li Biqing's first suggestion, others also started chatting.

Everyone is a big player in semiconductors and has the best vision in the industry.

In the past, they had many series of ideas, but the previous ideas were just ideas and could not be implemented at all.

This is something that many scientific researchers have been depressed about for a lifetime.

However, they lamented that they were lucky to have met Huanyu Technology.

Although Huanyu Technology is currently not as good as those world-class giants, it has begun to take shape.

More importantly, the founders of Huanyu Technology can turn their vision into reality.

When they wanted to build chips that belonged to the Chinese people, Chen Yu just threw money at them.

They said they wanted to engage in chip processing business, so Huanyu Technology became a shareholder of Center International.

They felt that it would be difficult to sell the chips after they were developed, so Chen Yu started the mobile phone and computer business again.

Even the lithography machine business, which they had not thought about for the time being, Chen Yu used countless methods to make the impossible a reality.

If this were other companies, perhaps they could only keep these ideas buried in their stomachs for the rest of their lives.

This night, everyone chatted very late.

Unknowingly, the sky was already getting slightly brighter.

When he saw some bright light appeared outside the window, Chen Yu patted his thigh and said with some shame: "It's already dawn. It's my fault. It's my fault that I let everyone sit here with me all night. Especially. It’s the dean, he’s quite old... That’s it for today. From now on, we stipulate that if there is a gathering, it must end after 12 o’clock.”

However, no one blamed Chen Yu, but Li Biqing laughed and said: "Chen Yu, I am really retired when you become the dean. Look at me, even if I haven't slept all night, I am still full of energy." ?”

"Dean, you are getting stronger with age."

Chen Yu gave Li Biqing a thumbs up: "Okay, that's it for today."

Chen Yu announced the end.

Although everyone felt a little tired physically, they were still extremely excited inside.

That night, Chen Yu talked a lot with them.

There are things about semiconductors and electronic technology. After the conversation, we talked about everything and imagined the future.

In Chen Yu's description, they seemed to see an extremely powerful country emerging before their eyes.

What they don't know is.

It was precisely this night that he had a profound impact not only on China, but also on the world.

…

On the side of Huanyu Technology, we are vigorously deploying the semiconductor business on the other side.

TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou once again set his sights on Huanyu Technology.

After Huanyu Technology entered the semiconductor business, Zhang Zhongmou had a hunch that Huanyu Technology would become their biggest competitor to TSMC in the future. But what Zhang Zhongmou didn't expect was that such competition would come so quickly.

The competition here is not just about Huanyu Technology Investment Center International.

At the same time, he includes the photolithography machine business invested by Huanyu Technology.

The lithography machine business and the chip manufacturing business are integrated.

Without a lithography machine, you can't make a chip.

Although TSMC does not manufacture lithography machines, they only need to purchase ASML lithography machines.

But Huanyu Technology has already laid out the most upstream business of chip manufacturing.

Once they succeed, they will have a stranglehold on chip manufacturing.

"It's a difficult situation, but I'm the plotter."

"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing?"

"Haha, Benji, why can't I call you if I'm not at TSMC?"

"Mr. Zhang, that's not what I meant."

"How is it at Huanyu Technology?"

"fine."

"Oh, I didn't think about it at the beginning. Ben Jian, you won't blame me."

"Mr. Zhang, you have always been someone I respect very much."

"Benji, thank you."

"Mr. Zhang, please don't say that."

"Benji, do you think that with Huanyu Technology's strength, they can develop a lithography machine? Of course, I'm not just talking about funds. I believe you know the technology involved better than I do."

"I don't know either."

"If TSMC supports your wet process, do you think the probability is higher?"

"Mr. Zhang, have you decided?"

"Yes. But, you know, I have always believed in you and I want you to return to TSMC."

"I……"

"Benji, TSMC has always been your home. I hesitated before and didn't decide, not because I didn't believe you. But..."

"Mr. Zhang, I know."

"In this case, Benji, please come back."

"boss Zhang……"

Lin Benjin on the other end of the phone was stunned.

He actually has deep feelings for Zhang Zhongmou.

At the same time, he also spent a good time at TSMC.

His experience, his brilliance, and everything about him are all at TSMC.

There was a moment of confusion.

Lin Benhan almost agreed to Zhang Zhongmou's invitation.

He could tell that this was Zhang Zhongmou's sincere invitation.

Moreover, Zhang Zhongmou has never done anything to feel sorry for him.

Although Zhang Zhongmou hesitated and did not decide to enter the field of wet lithography, any entrepreneur would hesitate to make such a large investment.

Can……

There is no do-over.

If you didn't come to Huanyu Technology, everything would be fine.

But now that Huanyu Technology is here...

I think of that young man who was full of energy, looked at the world, and was amazingly talented.

Lin Benjin shook his head: "I'm sorry. I have already joined Huanyu Technology. If I return to TSMC now, I would be very sorry for Mr. Chen. Besides, I am not such a person."

"well……"

Zhang Zhongmou's right hand holding the phone shook.

"Benji, don't say sorry, I am the one who said sorry. Benji, whether you are at TSMC or not, we are still the same as before."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"That's it, I'll die first."

With a sigh, Zhang Zhongmou hung up the phone.

In fact, before making this call, Zhang Zhongmou knew that it was impossible for Lin Benji to return to TSMC.

Lin Benjin is not such a person, even if Zhang Zhongmou promises any conditions.

In fact, Zhang Zhongmou didn't ask for any conditions. He still used his old feelings to impress Lin Benjin.

He felt that this was the only way to impress Lin Benji.

But I can only say regret.

Although old relationships are beautiful and worth remembering, this is not Lin Benji's principle of life.

Zhang Zhongmou didn't think it through clearly at that time, but now that he has thought it through, it's too late.

"Zhang Lei, contact ASML. I want to talk to their CEO."

"Mr. Zhang, have you really decided?"

"Ben Jiang's departure is a big loss for us at TSMC. If I don't decide, we will have no chance."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I will contact ASML immediately."

A few days later.

TSMC founder and chairman Zhang Zhongmou personally visited the Dutch ASML lithography machine company.

"Mr. Zhang, do you want to study wet lithography technology?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Zhang, you should know that if you follow Lin Benjin's wet theory, the investment in this area will be at least US$10 billion. This US$10 billion is still underestimated by me."

"I know too."

"Mr. Zhang, I appreciate your courage, but we asml really can't afford so much money."

"What if I say that TSMC can inject capital into ASML?"

"It's not enough to have TSMC alone, unless you fully cooperate with us regardless of the cost."

"So if I pull Intel and Samsung, what about them?"

"Mr. Zhang, can you convince Intel and Samsung?"

Asml President "Peter Wen" was a little excited.

In fact, he naturally knows TSMC's intentions.

As the world's largest chip foundry, TSMC has now accepted the challenge from Huanyu Technology.

Although this challenge has not had much impact for the time being, Center International's business is still in the mid-to-low-end chip segment.

But everyone knows that Huanyu Technology has huge capital flows and a terrifying Chinese market.

In the future, TSMC will inevitably have a war with Central International.

But asml is also clear.

The development of wet lithography technology may be the only way to solve the current dry technology.

But even if this is the only one, the huge amount of money will prevent ASML from making this determination.

On the one hand, they don’t have the funds.

On the other hand, even if they can get so much money, they may not be able to occupy the market.

After all, ASML only produces photolithography machines.

What if TSMC, Intel, Samsung, and other chip manufacturing companies do not decide on their lithography machines?

The market can often determine the life or death of upstream companies.

For example, now, although ASML occupies a certain market share in the field of photolithography machines, Japan's Nikon and Canon are not bad at photolithography technology. At the same time, Intel and Samsung are also their customers.

But if we can bind Intel, TSMC, and Samsung together, let them become shareholders of ASML.

Undoubtedly, this gives ASML a layer of insurance.

In the future, as long as it is a photolithography machine produced by ASML, they will buy it immediately.

certainly.

For TSMC, Intel, and Samsung, investing in ASML is equivalent to signing a strategic agreement.
