Start from 1980

Chapter 622
"What's the matter?" Su Chen asked curiously, "Is there any good news? Could it be that Wells Fargo got the loan?"

"Boss, this news does not come from Wells Fargo." Bernice brought up a document, "The dollar is still falling. According to this trend, if we sell it now..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Chen shook his head: "There's no need to rush to sell, wait until when one dollar can be exchanged for 120 yen."

"Sell both at that time, right?" Bernice asked.

Su Chen nodded: "Yes, we will sell both of them at that time, and we can hold them for a while now. If we sell them, we will make a lot less money."

He handed over a piece of paper and said, "Pay attention to Microsoft. If it goes public, we will acquire some shares. In addition, you can visit these companies again. I want to acquire these companies."

"Okay boss." Bernice didn't ask why she wanted to buy it, as long as the boss ordered it, she would do it.

The company Su Chen just wrote is Optimal Solutions, which is the predecessor of Synopsys.

This is a company of the same nature as Mentor Graphics and Cadence. Almost all of these three giants can provide tools for the entire process of chip design.

However, the advantage of Synopsys lies in digital chips and FPGA logic synthesis related tools. Its logic synthesis tool DesignCompiler, static timing analysis tool PrimeTime, and debugging tool Verdi have a near monopoly position in the industry.

Now Mentor, that is, Mentor, has been acquired by Su Chen. Although it is relatively weak in the whole process, it is the best in terms of Caliber signoff and DFT.

However, chip design is a field with extremely high barriers to entry. It has extremely strict requirements on product reliability and historical reputation. Any small error in the virtual simulation stage may cause chip tape-out failure, and tape-out failure means years of failure. Jobs are ruined and companies face the tragic loss of markets.

Therefore, in the field of chip design, almost no EDA company in the world has the strength to compete with the three giants.

Su Chen is still dissatisfied with having a Mentor, and is thinking of buying the rest, but he doesn't know if he can buy it.

In addition to this company, there are also Unigraphics and PTC, both of which are CAD software companies, just like Matlab, but Su Chen wants to integrate, so that he can gain a foothold in this market.

Another company is Ansys, which does CFD, that is, simulation software.

To put it simply, it is to use a computer as a tool to simulate the flow of fluid in various practical problems through a series of equations and formulas describing the law of fluid flow, and to conduct a large number of calculations and analyzes to make important contributions to product development and design. References and research directions.

Aside from the above-mentioned companies, Su Chen’s goal is to aim at Tokki, a company established in Japan’s Benz village, and the major shareholder behind it will be Samsung in the future.

"You arrange someone to go to Japan to buy the shares of this company." Su Chen said, "If you can't buy all the shares, I will become the major shareholder."

This company is engaged in vacuum coating machines, such as mobile phone screens, TV screens, etc.

But Tokki was not very good at this time. It was not until 2000, when Samsung decided to enter the OLED industry, that it approached Tokki and extended a helping hand. This should be the most appropriate time to start.

Later, Canon invested 76 billion yen in Tokki, became the parent company of Tokki, and changed its name to Canon Tokki.

The list handed to Bernice was written by Su Chen painstakingly, because he no longer remembers many things, so he can only write as much as he can think of.

There is also an IGBT original that General Motors has just produced. What is this thing for?

To put it simply, it is widely used, ranging from home appliances to strategic industries such as aircraft, ships, transportation, and power grids. It is called the "CPU" in the power electronics industry.

If this thing is bought, it can be thrown to the peak technology for research. Anyway, they don't study games anymore.

But you'll have to wait until you buy it.

In addition, I am obsessed with buying Rolls-Royce because of Rolls-Royce's aero-engines. Except for Rolls-Royce, the world's four major aero-engine companies are all American companies.

Therefore, for Rolls-Royce, Su Chen is imperative, it depends on whether he can buy it.

Once the aero engine can be bought, and then AMC can be bought, then there will be two major companies in the materialization.

Right now, Su Chen only thinks about these companies.

He looked at Bernice and said, "Immediately select people to go to these companies to talk to. If the price is right, we will acquire them. Shengshi needs to upgrade and transform. This is an urgent matter and cannot be delayed."

"Okay boss, I will arrange these things right away, and I will follow up the whole process." Bernice replied.

"Okay, remember to set off as soon as possible. I hope to resolve these matters as soon as possible." Su Chen said, "We must choose the most suitable person to go. Shengshi is bound to win these companies."

……

It seems that there is nothing to do in New York, and these things can be handled by his subordinates. Su Chen led a team from New York to inspect the company under his control.

It's still Huang Ying, the secretary. Compared with the two bodyguards and the big CEOs who hug him before and after his trip, he can be described as extremely shabby.

I went to Fox first, but I didn't go to San Francisco, and he couldn't provide any advice after going to San Francisco, because he didn't understand that stuff.

But Su Chen doesn't know anything about science and technology, and he doesn't understand non-tech movies.

Until now, he has not engaged in the economics class that he is good at.

They are buying, buying, and buying everywhere, and then wait to make money before buying.

Because many companies are now the most suitable time to invest. If you wait until you earn enough money, it will be a thing of the past.

When he came to Fox, Allen, who had already received the news, was already waiting.

Su Chen first glanced at the building opposite the company's headquarters. Construction has already started, and there are almost [-] floors built. This speed is considered slow for an infrastructure madman.

But that's how it is in America.

"Man, when will this building be completed?" Su Chen looked at Alan in a suit and leather shoes.

Allen immediately replied: "Boss, according to my investigation, this building will be completed by next year at the latest, and we can move in there to work."

"Good job." Su Chen nodded, "Compared to when I saw you before, you seem to be getting fatter now. Is it because there is no pressure from work?"

"No, No, No." Allen shook his head hastily, "Boss, I'm under a lot of pressure, because the company's performance is all on me, and I can't even sleep well."

"There is pressure to be motivated." Su Chen said with a smile, "Go, let's go up."

Going upstairs, the office is still there, and it seems to be cleaned frequently.

Allen said mysteriously: "Boss, our company has a few new actresses, but I suspect that their acting skills still need to be improved. How about I call them here and give you some pointers? I believe there are some pointers from you." After that, their acting skills will definitely be even better."
