It would be hard to imagine this more than ten years later. Asmail, which dominates the global lithography machine market, would come over and beg you to buy their latest product.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡¯??????????????????????????????????????????????? Even if you give me an extra 500 million or a billion dollars, I have to wait obediently. When Mr. Asmail takes time out and adjusts his mood to the best, let's talk about it.
"Sell it for 30 million yuan. If you want to daydream, just stay where it's cool."
The problem is that such a arrogant Asmail is the one who breaks through EUV lithography machines. In the 1990s, when DUV lithography machines became popular, Asmail was just ignored by Japan's Nikon and Canon. The two giants pinned their younger brother to the ground and rubbed each other casually.
There is no place for him in the mainstream markets of Europe and the United States. He has no choice but to find another way to focus on emerging markets such as East Asia and Southeast Asia. He uses his own low price and excellent service to win more customers, thereby maintaining the normal operation of Asmail's business. .
Because of this, their head of the Asia-Pacific region flies almost everywhere from South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan. As soon as he learns that a company wants to enter the semiconductor industry and has the idea of ??producing chips, he will rush over to sell it regardless of whether it can be done or not. Let¡¯s talk about it later.
In a word, try your best to seize food from Canon and Nikon under the noses of Canon and Nikon.
Luan Heping certainly welcomes Asmail¡¯s proactive promotion. After all, he is worried about where to find the equipment as he prepares to enter the semiconductor industry.
However, welcome is welcome. Luan Heping still prefers Japan's Nikon and Canon. The reason is very simple. Asmail can only provide photolithography machines. Other etching machines, hydrogen fluoride and other equipment and materials are not available, and Japan Nikon and Canon are able to provide one-stop services in this regard based on Luan Heping's electronics manufacturing factory.
Although the cost of doing this will inevitably be savaged by various Japanese manufacturers joining forces, the subsequent maintenance and upkeep will also be more worry-free. After all, the entire line is Japanese, and the replacement of accessories and daily adjustments are natural. It's convenient.
After all, Luan Heping wants to build a semiconductor manufacturing plant instead of playing with Lego toys at home, so he has many more things to consider than ordinary people.
But the price of 30 million yuan given by Asmail made Luan Heping tempted. There was no way that similar products from Nikon and Canon cost at least 80 million U.S. dollars, and they might not be able to get the goods. It would take more than half a year at least. If they are in a hurry, Nikon and Canon are not incapable of accommodating an additional $20 million to $50 million. The two companies will increase the order of products according to the situation, adjust the enthusiasm of employees, and strive to provide customers with additional funds one or two in advance. Monthly delivery.
There is no way, Nikon and Canon are the rulers of this field, how can they reflect their dominance and presence without being a bit arrogant.
But this would not be too friendly to Luan Heping. After all, the total money he has on hand is less than 700 million yuan. If he really wants to purchase a photolithography machine from Japan, one machine can drain all the money he has on hand.
But if you don¡¯t buy it, what if the Japanese manufacturers find out and make things difficult for other equipment and raw materials?
Lao Luan, who was in a dilemma, had no choice but to go to Zhuang Jianye. Who made Ascendas Group's leading venture capital fund the major shareholder of his semiconductor manufacturing plant? Since he couldn't solve it himself, let this matter bother the real people. Boss.
Zhuang Jianye also had a headache when he learned about the situation, but if the overlord comes to visit him in the future, this store will no longer exist in this village. If he doesn't kill Asmail with a knife on his head, it won't be long before he is Asmail. I took the knife and used various techniques to bleed myself.
In this case, Zhuang Jianye's idea is very simple. Kill Asmail first. As for the Japanese manufacturers who may be dissatisfied and deliberately made things difficult during procurement, Zhuang Jianye has no choice but to open his mind and let the little Japanese All kinds of ravages.
Who doesn't have core technology in the semiconductor industry? Don't think about having both fish and bear's paws. In this case, you can only take a longer-term view and strive for the opportunity period that appears on the eve of this semiconductor revolution. Lay the foundation for the future.
As for being ripped off by Japanese manufacturers, it is nothing more than spending more money. Although it is a lot at the moment, compared to the future, more than ten or two billion US dollars is nothing at all.
So Zhuang Jianye gritted his teeth and took out 200 million U.S. dollars from the profits from the Iridium project that Ascendas Group had just obtained. He went to various ministries and financial institutions in the capital and then went south to the Special Economic Zone to work at China Merchants Bank and its offices in Hong Kong City. The agency went around in circles and raised US$870 million for Luan Heping to cope with the possible huge funding gap.
As the saying goes, money emboldens people. With such a large sum of money, Luan Heping's confidence instantly strengthened. When he contacted Asmail's Asia Pacific Vice President, he no longer felt guilty or hesitant.Placed a large order for 12 pas5500 duv lithography machines.
Not only that, but also prepared to invest US$100 million in Asmail, hoping to become a long-term partner.
For this reason, Luan Heping¡¯s electronics factory does not need Asmail¡¯s dividends. It only hopes to be given priority in getting goods in the future and to have more autonomy in daily equipment repairs and maintenance.
With the large order and considerable investment, coupled with Luan Heping¡¯s generous conditions that made people cry, the vice president of Asmail¡¯s Asia Pacific region who was in charge of the contact was so excited that he almost couldn¡¯t control himself after hearing this.
Not only him, but after the headquarters in the Netherlands got the news, the entire company went crazy like the team had won the championship.
No way, Luan Heping's order and investment are too important to Asmail, who is about to run out of ammunition and food, because if they can't get the pas5500 DUV lithography machine that they have invested all their money in before the middle of next year, performance, the entire Asmail company will close down.
At this critical moment, Asmail, who was already prepared to not even be able to live in a wooden house, was unexpectedly saved by a dose of strong milk from Luan Heping. How could Asmail not go crazy?
Compared with this, Luan Heping's priority and autonomy in maintaining spare parts are nothing at all. Forget about these, even if Luan Heping asks for a complete set of technical drawings of the PAS5500 DUV lithography machine, Asmail will not give it. Don't hesitate to give it directly. Compared with these external things, the life of the company is obviously more important.
So Asmail agreed to Luan Heping's request without thinking. Not only did he step up the production of lithography machines for Luan Heping's electronics factory, he also opened up his own suppliers and industrial chain as well as the access to various internal parts of the PAS5500 DUV lithography machine. Specific specifications so that Luan Heping can purchase relevant accessories according to his own needs for daily maintenance of the PAS5500 DUV lithography machine.
When the list of accessories for the entire industry chain from Asmail was delivered to Zhuang Jianye via Luan Heping, Zhuang Jianye glanced at it twice and laughed. He slapped the list on the table and said to Luan Heping: "Old Luan Heping , are you interested in getting a photolithography machine to try?"
