I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 359 A Solid Step!
To Lin Xiao's surprise, not only Lin Benjian came, Zhang Jing also came to Silicon Valley together.

After seeing Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian in the hotel, Lin Xiao immediately asked in surprise, "Zhang Bo, are you here too?"

"Yes, preliminary progress has been made in the connection with the Mingzhu government. They just need a few days to go through the relevant procedures. I'll come and have a look together."

After answering Lin Xiao's question, Zhang Jing immediately asked in surprise: "Boss Lin, did you really buy the shares of ASML?"

Lin Xiao talked to Zhang Jing on the phone two days ago. His original intention was to tell Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian that this time Lin Benjian came to Silicon Valley to meet with the person in charge of ASML first. As for the actual procurement of equipment As for the matter, we can wait for the next three people to discuss it.

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded with a smile, "I bought 22.8% of the shares from Philips in the name of future investment. You came just in time. I still want to discuss with you, can I just buy Aspen for the lithography machine?" Mai."

"Of course!" Zhang Jing shouted immediately, "I'm here for this."

"Lithography equipment is the most critical equipment in our entire manufacturing process. If the lithography machine manufacturer can communicate more easily, it will be very helpful for us to speed up the project."

Zhang Jing's tone was full of joy, "Since Mr. Lin, you have become their major shareholder, it goes without saying that you need to communicate, especially in the early stage of the establishment of the factory. Stability is still very important.”

At this time, Lin Guangjian also followed up and said: "Yes, and in terms of technology, ASML's technology in the 193nm band is quite mature, not inferior to Nikon. In fact, I discussed with Zhang Bo before which lithography company to use. equipment, ASML is one of our intended objects.”

As he said that, Lin Guangjian said with a smile: "Now we don't have to choose again. The major shareholders of the two companies are the same, so the cooperation will naturally be smoother."

When Lin Xiao heard what the two said, a smile appeared on his face. Before that, he was still thinking that if the two had other interested manufacturers, he would still have to find a way to persuade them.

Thinking of Intel's cancellation of the order, Lin Xiao immediately said to the two of them: "By the way, Intel just canceled an order of [-] million meters from ASML, do you know?"

"Is there such a thing? We really didn't pay attention to it." Zhang Jing was slightly taken aback.

After all, the two are in Huaxia and are doing other preparations, and they haven't followed the news so closely for a while.

Lin Benjian followed up and said: "This actually has no impact on us. ASML seems to have just obtained Intel's supply license through the acquisition of other companies at the beginning of this year. Intel's cancellation of the order at this time should not be due to technical issues."

"What Lin Bo said is the truth, and it might be a good thing for us." Zhang Jing said from the side.

"If they have prepared an order for Intel but have not supplied it, we may be able to shorten the delivery cycle and get some discounts on the price if we take it at this time. After all, what we are doing is sending charcoal in the snow."

Hearing what Zhang Jing said, Lin Xiao was completely relieved.

ASML is at such a juncture. For Lin Xiao, it is naturally an excellent moment to acquire shares, but for those who need to purchase equipment, the sense of trust is reduced.

Originally, Lin Xiao was somewhat worried, whether the two of them would mind if they knew the news, but they were forced to accept it because of their own reasons, which eventually led to some rifts in the relationship between the three, which was obviously not the case. What Lin Xiao wanted.

Fortunately, Zhang Jing and Lin Guangjian have been in this industry for a long time, and they have a clear understanding of many things, and they have lost a lot of their own words.

"Since you two professionals have said this, I feel more relieved. It seems that I bought the shares correctly."

After finishing talking with a smile, Lin Xiao also pointedly said to Lin Guangjian at this time: "By the way, Lin Bo, you lead the technical team. If you need some technical cooperation at that time, I will try my best to coordinate." Asmail cooperates here."

Lin Guangjian heard this, his heart moved, and he replied, "That's great!"

After Lin Xiao heard Lin Guangjian's words, he smiled and didn't continue talking.

"Then tomorrow, I will take you to meet with Mond Kenan, the person in charge of ASML. You can talk about specific technical matters. ASML has specialized technicians in Silicon Valley, or we You can also go to the headquarters in the Netherlands to have a look, and do some on-the-spot investigation.”

After Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian nodded, Lin Xiao pointed to Lan Yumo who was sitting beside him, and introduced:
"This is the manager of Lan Yumo, who is currently in charge of some future investment business in the United States. My initial idea is to let her go to Huaxin Technology to represent Future Technology as a director. It just so happens that you are here, and I want to meet everyone .”

In fact, the two had already noticed Lan Yumo and guessed the identity of the other party. After hearing Lin Xiao's words, they looked at Lan Yumo with kind smiles.

In a sense, the director of Future Investment is Lin Xiao's spokesperson.

Although Lan Yumo looks very young, but with Lin Xiao, an even younger boss, they will not underestimate Lan Yumo just because of his age.

At this time, Lan Yumo stood up actively, stretched out his hand towards Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian, and said at the same time:
"Zhang Bo, Lin Bo, I have heard many names of the two experts from Mr. Lin. I am young and have little experience. I will follow the two experts from now on. Please give me more guidance and help."

"Mr. Lan is polite!" Both Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian said politely.

"Yumo has a lot of experience in the capital market." Lin Xiao said directly at this time.

"The current funds of Future Investment are managed and operated by her, including the acquisition of ASML."

After speaking, Lin Xiao smiled again: "The money invested in Huaxin Technology in the future is also in her. Zhang Bo, your specific plan for using the funds, you can just communicate with Yumo at that time."

After Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian heard this, they looked at Lan Yumo even more differently.

It is self-evident that Lin Xiao can rest assured that he can hand over such a large amount of money management and operation rights to Lan Yumo.

Although they still don't know how much Lin Xiao spent to acquire the shares of ASML, they are very clear about the approximate size of ASML.

Of course, there is a more important point. Lin Xiao said that the use of funds invested in Huaxin Technology in the future will be connected with Lan Yumo, which means that in the early stage of Huaxin Technology relying on future investment funds, the company's pocketbook , is actually in the hands of Lan Yumo.

Although both Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian have technical backgrounds, they have been working in the United States, and they are also old workplaces. They know the status of such people.

Therefore, Yu Lan Yumo did not put on airs at all during the conversation, just like Lin Xiao, he was placed in a completely equal position.

Although Lan Yumo has a cold temper, she is much better than Lin Xiao when she met her. Moreover, her parents were also university professors, and they naturally respected those who are knowledgeable and capable.

So at this time, Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian, two experts, also showed enough respect, and always called themselves juniors.

In such an atmosphere, the meeting of several people was also very harmonious, which laid a good foundation for everyone to work together in the future.

After that, Zhang Jing also talked to Lin Xiao and Lan Yumo about the project's general funding plan according to the progress, and Lan Yumo replied that he would fully guarantee it.

Getting Zhang Jing, Lin Benjian and Lan Yumo to meet and get to know each other was the first thing they did when they came to Silicon Valley, and the other important thing was to connect with ASML.

On the second day, Lin Xiao took Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian together to meet Mond Kenan, who also met ASML's technology and marketing director in Silicon Valley.

After some conversations, the technical leaders of both parties admired each other's technical level very much, conducted in-depth exchanges on technology, and generally set their purchasing intentions.

However, for a more detailed understanding, Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian proposed to go to the headquarter factory of ASML in the Netherlands for inspection and exchange.

It just so happened that Dong Meilan also cooperated in completing the acquisition procedures. After completing the share acquisition, Lin Xiao, as the major shareholder of the company, should also visit the company. They agreed to go to the headquarters of ASML in the Netherlands while the iron is hot.

Lin Xiao has been in Silicon Valley for several days. He has already been to the subsidiary of Eternal Technology, and has communicated with Fadell and others, so there is really not much going on in Silicon Valley for the time being.

But before leaving Silicon Valley, Lin Xiao also went to Google and met with Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Compared with when Lin Xiao invested half a year ago, Google's team has grown a lot, and its influence has gradually emerged.

Of course, in front of several big search engines in the United States, Google is still at the younger level.

The good news is that Larry Page told Lin Xiao that they have connected with Yahoo and made a search plan for Yahoo itself. This plan will be given to Yahoo soon, and the other party will try to come up with a piece of content for trial Google's search service.

If the cooperation among them is happy, Google can demonstrate stronger technology than other search engine companies, and Yahoo is willing to consider using Google's search service.

When Lin Xiao met with Page and Brin, they were full of confidence and were preparing for a head-on competition with the search engine giant Inktomi.

Lin Xiao naturally had to encourage the two of them, expressing his confidence and optimism in Google.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao, Zhang Jing, Lin Benjian, and Dong Meilan went to the headquarters of ASML in the Netherlands with Mond Kenan, while Lan Yumo returned to New York.

The headquarters of ASML showed a very welcome attitude towards the arrival of Lin Xiao and his party. On the one hand, it was because Lin Xiao’s future investment had become ASML’s largest shareholder; Huaxin Technology's order intention came over.

In three days, Lin Xiao had a deeper understanding of ASML, and Zhang Jing and Lin Benjian also fully recognized ASML's equipment technology.

ASML showed a very positive attitude towards the cooperation with Huaxin Technology, and there was a very large price concession, and the two parties hit it off.

Before the few people left the Netherlands, Huaxin Technology and ASML signed the first equipment purchase order of 5000 million meters, which means that Lin Xiao has taken a solid step in promoting the plan of Huaxin Technology and ASML to cooperate more deeply. step!
The follow-up matters were handed over to Zhang Jing and others for docking, and Lin Xiao's energy was also withdrawn from the layout of the chip, so after leaving the Netherlands and returning to China, Lin Xiao went directly back to Yanjing.

The longer-term chip plan is progressing normally, and it is time for the Internet to make more efforts!
　Going to have a checkup tomorrow...
