What Professor Zhong introduced is definitely not an ordinary person.
Chen Yao asked: "Who is he?"
"The boss of the lithography machine company." Professor Zhong changed his clothes, put on a gray coat and led him out of the university laboratory.
Chen Yao got into the car and received the address sent by the professor on his mobile phone. This company was local, and he immediately started the car.
¡¡
Huatian Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd.
This company is located in the Science and Technology Industrial Park, with a very large factory area. It is a key local technology company, mainly engaged in the research and development and production of photolithography machines.
Along the way, Chen Yao learned from Professor Zhong that Huatian Microelectronics is not having an easy time now and is on the verge of bankruptcy.
The reason is very simple. The R&D investment in photolithography machines is high, but the technology has not made a breakthrough and sales have not increased.
Zhong Guoqiang suggested: "If you are really confident, you can acquire it."
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Huatian Company is quite large. It cannot be acquired casually. It costs one or two billion at least.
Knowing that Professor Zhong Guoqiang was coming, Xu Botian, chairman and founder of Huatian Microelectronics, went downstairs to greet him personally.
In the domestic science and technology community, Zhong Guoqiang is definitely a very important presence. Many top scientific and technological talents were once his students.
"Professor Zhong, welcome." Xu Botian smiled and shook hands with Zhong Guoqiang.
Zhong Guoqiang introduced: "Let me introduce, the person next to me is Chen Yao, the founder of Legend Company. He is very interested in your company's lithography machine."
The scale of Legend Company is not that big, and ordinary people don¡¯t know this company, but it is well-known in the technology world.
??Is he the young man who founded the unicorn company?
"Awesome! You are young and promising!" Xu Botian reached out and shook hands with Chen Yao.
Chen Yao asked: "Can you take me to see your company's photolithography machine?"
Xu Botian nodded, and then led the two of them towards the factory.
Walking into the factory, Chen Yao walked around the photolithography machine in front of him. Just by looking at the refinement of the machine parts, he could tell what the level of Huatian's photolithography machine was?
"How many nanometer chips can the machine be used to produce?" Chen Yao looked at Xu Botian.
Xu Botian smiled bitterly and said: "It can only be made into 120nm chips."
120 nanometers? Chen Yao was stunned for a long time: ""
The current development trend of the international chip industry is that the smaller the chip, the stronger the performance.
The smaller the chip on the mobile phone, the less power it consumes and the speed and smoothness will be improved.
Look at ASML¡¯s most high-end lithography machine, it can already be used for 5nm processing, and even smaller 3nm processing can be done.
Huatian¡¯s lithography machine can only be used to make 120nm. What level is this? It is equivalent to the American machine in the 1990s.
It¡¯s no wonder that a photolithography machine with backward technology can be sold.
Chen Yao asked: "Is there no way to break through?"
"It's difficult." Xu Botian said bitterly:
"Money is not the most important reason. Domestic investors are now very enthusiastic about investing in semiconductors, and companies can easily get money. But the biggest problem is the lack of talent."
There is a very painful problem in cultivating talents in the chip industry. Cutting-edge chip talents cannot be cultivated by universities, not even Tsinghua University or Peking University.
The electronics industry is developing and upgrading too fast, and the technical requirements are extremely high. When you graduate from college and enter the enterprise, you will find that the knowledge you learned in college has fallen behind.
The only places that can cultivate outstanding semiconductor talents are top chip companies.
??Look at South Korea and Japan. The founders of these chip companies have worked in American semiconductor companies for a long time.
Huawei¡¯s president of HiSilicon Qilin once worked in Silicon Valley.
Nowadays, the restrictions in the United States are very great, and it is almost impossible to introduce technical talents from the United States.
Dilemma, dilemma, how to solve it?
Xu Botian asked: "Mr. Chen, is the purpose of your coming here to buy a photolithography machine?"
"No." Chen Yao shook his head. He could only produce 120-nanometer chips, so such a lithography machine would be useless.
"Then what is your purpose?"
"I'm interested in your Huatian Microelectronics."
Xu Botian raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to acquire my company?"
Professor ZhongHe said: "Find a place to sit down and talk."
Reception room.
Xu Botian asked Zhong Guoqiang and Chen Yao to sit down, and then asked the waiter to hand over the fragrant tea.
Chen Yao asked: "How much is Huatian Microelectronics worth now?"
If the price is right, purchasing is a good way. Otherwise, starting from scratch will take longer and cost more.
Xu Botian stretched out three fingers: "30 billion!"
Although the company is in a very depressed situation, the company's assets are of great value, including factories, equipment, talent reserves, patents, etc., which are all very valuable.
Although there is a big gap between the products and the most advanced international level, there are only a few companies in China that can make photolithography machines, and there is not enough lead to purchase them.
Chen Yao knows that what he is telling the truth is true. Lai Baiqian has learned about Huatian Company in detail, and there is nothing wrong with it being worth 30 billion.
It¡¯s just that the current legend simply can¡¯t afford a 30 billion acquisition.
It is still possible to spend 5 billion to acquire 1/6 of the equity, but it makes no sense.
Chen Yao has great ambitions. He must control this company, let alone 100% of the shares, at least 50%.
" Otherwise, you may get strangled one day. Don't think that your own family will not cheat your own family. Domestic enterprises often fight against each other.
Taking the tea cup from the waiter, Chen Yao said: "Legend Company wants to occupy 51% of the controlling stake of Huatian Microelectronics."
Xu Botian smiled and said: "Are you willing to pay 15 billion?"
"No." Chen Yao said in surprise: "I don't plan to pay a penny."
What the hell kind of operation is this?
"If you don't want to pay, you have to get the equity of another company, and it's still a controlling stake. You are too fanciful."
Xu Botian took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Chen, are you kidding?"
"Do you think I'm joking?" Chen Yao said seriously.
Xu Botian thought for a while: "Are you going to use the stock exchange method to exchange Legend's equity for Huatian's equity?"
If this is the case, Xu Botian can completely accept it!
The current legendary track is very valuable. It is already at the forefront of the industry in the field of artificial intelligence and is extremely valuable. If you can get 50% of the equity of the legendary company, the returns you will receive in the future will be astonishing.
Chen Yao smiled. Boss Xu really dared to think about it. Let alone transfer 50% of the legendary shares, he would not be willing to part with even 1%.
"It's not a share exchange."
It¡¯s not a stock exchange, and he¡¯s not willing to pay. Xu Botian can¡¯t understand his operation.
Chen Yao picked up a signature pen and wrote four words on it.
Technology investment!
Xu Botian was confused: "What skills do you have?"
Chen Yao turned the pen in his hand, and the pen spun rapidly on the back of his hand. "I can let Huatian Company produce the most advanced 5nm lithography machine in the world today!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
