Start from 1980

Chapter 627 Unfortunate

He thought of a question.

Immediately turned around and said to Huang Ying beside her, "Record the following information."

Huang Ying immediately took out her notebook.

"The first thing is that after returning to Hong Kong, let Mary set up a new energy project with lithium batteries as the core, and at the same time set up a trade fair in the United States and Hong Kong as well as Japan Benzene; the second thing is to go to the Netherlands to inspect the ASM project, No need to add the date, I will go there in person.”

"Okay boss, I have recorded it."

Su Chen didn't know that ASM was almost closed at this time. If it wasn't for the first CEO, Jate Smit, to turn the tide, it would probably close.

Why?

Because the first order of ASM is from Philips Semiconductors and Materials Division, which is Elcoma.

Winning the order of Elcoma is equivalent to opening ASM.

The reason why Elcoma gave the order to ASM was also due to Tang Wanru's request and deep pockets at the beginning, not to bargain, but you have to sign an order agreement.

Although the technology has been bought by Shengshi, many people are not optimistic about ASM now.

Some analysts publicly stated that the joint venture between ASM and Dongfang Enterprises is doomed to fail. They have the world's most advanced "stepper lithography machine" technology, but they don't know what to do with the lithography machine.

However, Tang Wanru, like the son of a villager with a lot of money and stupid landowners, not only waved the banknotes to buy the lithography machine project from Philips, but also got online with ASM.

The current situation has become two lunatics getting together to gamble.

For the sake of money, Elcoma placed an order for face, but asked ASM to deliver the first PAS 4 before April 1 this year.

Elcoma executives publicly stated, "It can't be a day later, otherwise, I will choose Nikon."

At this time, Nikon is already a rising star in the industry. Compared with GCA, the leading lithography machine in the United States, Nikon's lithography machine has more stable performance.

In 1982, GCA still had a market share of 95% in the Japanese market, which had dropped to 1983% by 45, and most of the market was obtained by Nikon in Japan.

In addition to the order from Elcoma, it is also a necessary step to send the new lithography machine products to the SEMICON West exhibition in the United States to build the reputation of ASML.

This means that ASM needs to deliver a PAS 1986 in April and May 4 respectively.

Schmidt required that PAS 2500 must come up with a prototype product on January 1 this year, otherwise, the order will not be delivered and the company will be finished.

However, the Dutch, who have always advocated enjoying life and getting off work at the right time, are obviously not as hardworking as the Chinese people. As of January this year, the PAS 2500 is still not assembled, and it is expected that the research and development will not be completed until May.

But that would completely miss the two important dates mentioned above.

Smit was furious, and directly laid off the head of the PAS 2500 project R&D team and replaced it with two young people, one of whom had only 18 months of service.

These two talented young people finally made ASM deliver two PAS 2500 within the stipulated time limit.

This was the only way to escape.

Now ASML has set off to the United States and is preparing to participate in the SEMICON West exhibition.

Coincidentally, because Xue Yu's due date was approaching, Su Chen didn't have time to stay, so he had to return to China early, and he only remembered this matter when he got on the plane.

Because next, the entire lithography machine industry is undergoing a reshuffle.

In 1986, 10 of the 3 lithography machine companies withdrew from the market, and the remaining 7 suppliers will also be eliminated in the next few years.

As the boss, he has to cheer up those guys, and get the supply chain of this lithography machine done by the way.

Because Zeiss is not having a good time now. As a pig player, it has brought the leading lithography machine GCA, which was already having a hard time, to the verge of bankruptcy. It has reached the point where it has to use its Zeiss shares to pay for Zeiss lenses the point.

But the Germans didn't do it, so if there is no accident, GCA will close down and disappear in the long river of history.

Not only GCA will be affected, but even ASML will be affected. After Xue Yu gives birth and goes to the Netherlands, he can just buy the shares held by ASML's second shareholder, Del Prado.

At that time, ASML will be wholly-owned by Shengshi, and it can still fight rabbits. Taking advantage of the fact that Zeiss has not merged, it may be able to take a share.

Because Zeiss, who has always believed in gold fingers, will soon have a hard time.

But unfortunately, the time seems to be a bit rushed.

Because he had to go to Beijing to accompany Xue Yu first, and then went to Hong Kong to attend the engagement.

And the production date of the two seems to be quite close.

It looks like they can't care about both ends.

……

Beijing.

After eating their fill, Xue Yu and Tang Wanru went for a walk in the yard.

"Can you find a plane to Hong Kong?" Xue Yu looked at Tang Wanru.

Tang Wanru froze for a moment, "Do you want to give birth in Hong Kong?"

"But it's been a while..." Tang Wanru was a little anxious, and looked at the old people who were watching TV in the living room, "Do mom and dad know your decision?"

Xue Yu shook her head, "If you let them know that it's okay, I decided to go to Hong Kong only at this point in time, and with your ability, even finding a plane tonight shouldn't be a problem.

That is a few hours, and there are so many doctors. "

"No!" Tang Wanru refused without thinking, "If something happens, Su Chen must blame me to death? Good sister, don't hurt me, how dare I find you a plane to go to Hong Kong?"

She asked herself, if it was her, it was really impossible to make such a decision, because now that she was about to give birth, she still thought of Su Chen.

Then he said: "You really paid too much for him, so your status is well-deserved, so many sisters can't envy you."

"Then you just listen to me, if you are a few days late, you won't be able to board the plane." Xue Yu's tone was a little tough.

Tang Wanru held her hand: "You can't get on the plane now, what if something goes wrong, what do you ask us to do? So just stay in the capital and wait for him to come back."

Xue Yu sighed, "Actually, I wanted to go to Hong Kong before, but because the magazine couldn't find someone to replace me, and many people wanted to leave, I had to persevere, but now I want to go but I can't."

"Then you can write a letter for me and ask him to go to Hong Kong first and then come back. We have such a relationship for five or six years. It's okay if he wasn't by my side when I gave birth."

While talking, Zhao Dongmei suddenly rushed in from outside, and said in a panic: "Sister Xue, Sister Wanru, there is a woman outside who wants to see you, and that woman has a big belly..."
