Chapter 938 New Projects

Valentine is the man behind Silicon Valley, and Su Chen is determined to be the man behind China's software industry.

In the future, he will invest in Penguin, Ali and the like.

Why not do it in a profitable industry?
It is said that when Su Chen got his graduation certificate from Harvard, Teacher Ma was waiting for a visa to Australia in the capital.

But what ushered in was a series of rejections, as many as seven times!

After a lot of hard work, the visa was finally approved, and the family took a hundred dollars borrowed from relatives to go abroad to meet the world.

But not everyone is like that Australian Ken Morley.

Su Chen thought in his mind that Shi Yuzhu seems to be the only person in the software industry he has met so far.

After a long silence, he decided to go to Shenzhen.

Going downstairs to Tang Wanru's office, she explained her intention of going to Shenzhen.

"Going to Shenzhen?" Tang Wanru asked curiously, "Why are you going to Shenzhen at this time? Is there something wrong there?"

"Of course not, I want to hold an alternative press conference." Su Chen said, "I want to promote the localization of most of the software in our country."

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, go ahead and do it." Tang Wanru said, "I'll arrange things in Hong Kong. Hengchang's acquisition should not be able to reply so quickly for the time being. The old men are nostalgic."

Su Chen nodded: "So, the No. 1 choice in their hearts is the brothers of the Lin family, not, but I believe that the brothers of the Lin family can't come up with the same conditions as ours."

"Then let's wait slowly. We're not in a hurry to acquire Hengchang right now, are we?" Tang Wanru said, "Besides, there's nothing going on in Hong Kong for the time being. You can go there for a few days without worry."

To be honest, Su Chen felt that Yankees were actually quite disgusting.

The embargo imposed in the early years made it difficult for him, the big boss of ASML, to get a few lithography machines back to China in a fair manner.

Of course he can do this, but doing so will directly ruin Asmer's prospects, and he will not be able to join the EUV alliance. How can he become a god?
So Su Chen decided to use the plane to fly directly from the Netherlands to Hong Kong. After all, Cathay Pacific is his now, so it is no problem to fly from the Netherlands to Hong Kong.

Secondly, he is still a creditor of the British. Regarding his affairs here, as long as he does not go too far, the British basically turn a blind eye to him.

So Su Chen called the Netherlands and asked them to prepare a few lithography machines, send them on the plane, and then send a few engineers over.

Now ASML is relying on Mr. Su to suspend his breath. If Mr. Su withdraws his capital, it is estimated that no one except Philips will dare to take over this terrible money-burning company.

After receiving the order, ASML directly arranged for machines and engineers to come regardless of the embargo.

In addition, Su Chen found Director Zhou of the Chinese Academy of Sciences through Mr. Zhao.

He doesn't know about chips, and he doesn't expect to be able to develop a chip that will blow the sky. Professional things should be left to professionals.

Therefore, he wants to use Director Zhou to network semiconductor talents across the country and secretly develop his own chips.

Secondly, we are developing our own domestic industrial software.

As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

What I am most afraid of is the problem that cannot be solved with money, which is definitely a big problem.

Director Zhou was at a loss when he received the notice from Mr. Zhao, and confirmed with Mr. Zhao again and again: "You mean, a few lithography machines from ASML were bought from Shenzhen, let us check and accept them, and they are free of charge. kind?"

"Yes." Teacher Zhao said seriously, "That is indeed what he said, and I can assure you that this news is true and does not require money."

Director Zhou asked suspiciously: "You know the Yankees have embargoed us a long time ago. To be honest, how did you get that machine tool?"

"This is a secret, and I can tell you that the person who got this machine tool is under the protection of our country." Teacher Zhao said with a smile, "But we have known each other for a long time, so I can tell you with confidence."

"Say it quickly."

"Do you know about the Tinder plan?"

"I know." Director Zhou suddenly realized, "It turned out to be him, so I knew it."

Feeling relieved, he took people to set off for Shenzhen.

……

end of May.

Su Chen was waiting at Kai Tak Airport early in the morning.

A plane landed slowly, and as soon as the cabin door was opened, a forklift quickly stepped forward, shoveled the cargo from the plane, and transferred it to several modified trucks nearby.

The whole action is smooth.

The forklift driver didn't know what the goods were, he only knew that he had to be careful not to collide.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he had transferred all the goods.

After the transshipment, the goods did not stay on the truck for a long time. The car slowly drove out of the airport, went straight to the customs, and entered Shenzhen in a fair way.

In the car that followed, besides ASML's chairman Trost, there was also Su Chen, and the car behind him was his bodyguard and secretary.

"Hi, chairman." Trost greeted Su Chen, "I have heard your name all the time, but unfortunately, I have never had time to come to China to see you."

"I wanted to go to the Netherlands to meet you in person, but I didn't have the time. Thank you for joining my company." Su Chen shook hands with him and said hello, "Thank you for bringing ASML's first revenue."

"Sir, although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that it was an accident." Trost said.

This revenue comes from the end of last year, when TSMC’s factory, which was established less than two years ago, was burned down, and TSMC had to order 2 additional lithography machines from ASML, which brought a large amount of revenue to ASML.

Trost handed over a report: "Sir, this is my letter of intent to develop new products for ASML."

Su Chen took it and took a serious look.

The model is PAS 5500.

It is said that this machine can meet the needs of different customers in the US market and the Japanese market at the same time; it can also be assembled modularly like building blocks, and it can adapt and load new technologies in the next 5 years.

"Sir, I have to remind you that this will cost a lot of money. If you agree, I will start to arrange people for research and development after I return to the Netherlands." Trost continued.

He had to find someone who was willing to spend money on the project, since he was conned into being CEO after all.

If the Chinese boss is not willing to spend money now, he does not want to stay in the company.

Su Chen returned the report to him, "Go ahead buddy, you know, I don't care about spending money, I believe this product will be perfect, and I also believe in your ability."

Trost didn't believe it, thinking he hadn't made it clear.

So he said again: "Sir, I still have to remind you that this project requires 50 engineers to jointly carry out research and development. In addition, the production, logistics, and service departments need to be transformed. We may spend all of last year's revenue."

"It's okay, trust me, I'm willing to pay for this project." Su Chen still had a smile on his face, "And even if it's within a billion dollars, I won't frown."

Damn, are all Chinese people so rich now?
The car came all the way to a secret factory in Shenzhen.

There were already people waiting in the factory.

but……
