Chapter 265 Listing on NASDAQ

PS: Change the name of QQ to ICQ, otherwise if you write a little more sensitively, you will be reviewed.

Many things about Wujiang Group will be magnified and studied by Europe and the United States. In the ICQ instant chat software, "My Nearby" has been used by many European and American users for coloring.

This possibility is not impossible, but highly probable.

Zhao Ye believed that if he were an official of the M country authorities, he would definitely make a fuss about ICQ's "My Neighborhood". Not only would ICQ be removed from the shelves, but he would also take the opportunity to discredit Wujiang Group and lower its reputation.

For ICQ, "My Nearby" is dispensable and will not affect the increase in users and user stickiness.

ICQ already has a huge number of users, and its accumulated social relationship is difficult to be replaced by another social software, and the possibility of user loss and migration is very low.

If ICQ bans "near me", it is most likely to create a competitor similar to "momo".

But, can "momo" threaten ICQ's status?

In fact, when "momo" is positioned as a color social software, its own user group has been limited, and it is impossible for it to be liked by the public, after all, many people still need face.If it's just a sneaky download, it's fine for some thrills, but people don't use "momo" at work or in life.

At this time, after ICQ's "My Nearby" function was deleted, it immediately caused dissatisfaction among many European and American users.

"Why delete 'near me', this function is very good, I can use this function to pick up girls every day!"

"ICQ company, I advise you to restore 'My Nearby', otherwise, we will boycott ICQ!"

"I passed 'My Neighborhood' and hunted 15 people!"

"I passed 'My Neighborhood' and only found 2 people, I'm ashamed~"

"..."

Quite a few, and not all of the Internet is opposed to ICQ.

Many people said that it is a good thing that ICQ deletes "My Nearby", making ICQ more pure and returning to the essence of instant chat.

"I support ICQ to delete 'My Nearby', otherwise, the ICQ chat platform may become a smog and become a concentration camp for perverts! If that is the case, then I will choose a more pure chat software, and persuade relatives and friends to join Add another chat software, and let the damn perverts stay on the ICQ platform!"

"I'm a parent and I'm worried about my daughter getting scammed by bad guys using 'My Nearby' to add friends!"

"..."

On the Internet, people talked about ICQ, which caused the popularity of ICQ to soar.

People who didn't know ICQ before could not help being interested in ICQ after hearing about it, and then registered as ICQ users.

For a time, the number of ICQ users surged.

As for those who say they want to boycott ICQ, they are still using ICQ to this day.

Simply delicious!
Of course, some people have discovered business opportunities and thought, if ICQ deletes "My Nearby", then if I develop an instant messaging software with the "My Nearby" function, wouldn't it be a big hit?
After the user logs into the instant chat software, he can roughly determine his location based on the IP address, so it is not difficult to realize the "near me" function.

Seeing that ICQ was still developing smoothly, Lu Cangran couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called Zhao Ye to report the situation.

Zhao Ye was not surprised by this. He smiled faintly and replied an email to Lu Cangran, asking them to work hard to promote the instant chat software in various countries around the world. Every once in a while, ICQ should be updated to add richer functions.

At present, the main task of ICQ is to seize the market. As for the realization, we can wait until later.

……

On September 9, ASML, a Dutch lithography machine company, went public on Nasdaq.

There are relatively few ordinary people who pay attention to this news, and many people don't know what a lithography machine is.

Before the IPO of ASML, Zhao Ye had asked people to disperse the shares of ASML held by Wujiang Microelectronics to multiple companies. From the obvious point of view, the largest shareholder of ASML is already Philips.However, as far as Zhao Ye knows, Philips is not very optimistic about the development of ASML, and there is a high probability that it will sell its shares after ASML goes public.

In addition, before the IPO, ASML conducted a round of pre-IPO round financing, allowing a number of M country capital companies to obtain ASML's original shares in order to obtain the support of M country.

After ASML IPO, Wujiang Group has disappeared from the list of top ten shareholders on the surface.

However, in fact, Wujiang Group still holds 49% of the shares of ASML!
As long as you buy some shares from the stock market a little bit, the shareholding ratio can exceed 50%.

However, Zhao Ye does not intend to disclose the fact that Wujiang Group holds ASML behind the scenes.

Making a fortune in silence is the most important thing.

With the support of Country M, ASML will definitely develop smoothly in the future.

It is not difficult to imagine that when country M is faced with falling behind China in the field of lithography machines, it will find a way to support a company. Basically, it can only choose between ASML in the Netherlands and Canon and Nikon in Japan.

……

At this time, the capital circle was very optimistic about ASML and bought ASML's stock one after another.

"The leader is wise. ASML's stock price has skyrocketed since its listing, and it has risen by 18.2% now!" said a trader from an institution in country M happily.

"Haha, of course! Now all the major machine heads are optimistic about ASML, and ASML's stock price will continue to skyrocket! First of all, there are currently only ASML, Nikon, and Canon on the market. Secondly, the shareholder members behind ASML include both Wujiang Microelectronics and Philips, and Philips is also a shareholder of TSMC. support!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an employee quickly rushed into the office hall and shouted to everyone involuntarily: "Good news! Wujiang Microelectronics has just announced that it will purchase 66 lithography machines from ASML!"

As soon as the news came out, the manager of the institution was slightly taken aback, showing shock on his face, and immediately shouted excitedly to his subordinates: "Why are you standing still, buy ASML quickly!!!!"

After hearing the words, everyone reacted and rushed to buy ASML's stocks frantically.

Institutions will always get news faster than retail investors.

When institutions started buying ASML, retail investors were still confused. Some investors saw ASML's buy orders at a very high price and couldn't help but sell their stocks.

It was only when the news that Wujiang Microelectronics acquired a large number of ASML lithography machines spread that it regretted it.

At this time, both institutions and retail investors believed that Wujiang Microelectronics seemed to have given up on independent research and development of lithography machines, and instead chose to purchase ASML's lithography machines. ASML's development potential suddenly soared.

Most Chinese companies pursue the idea of ​​"buying is worse than building". In addition, the development of lithography machines is indeed very difficult, and Wujiang Microelectronics is one of ASML's shareholders. Therefore, Wujiang Microelectronics gave up the independent research and development of lithography machines. , and then stop the loss in time is a normal business practice.

Shanghai.

The headquarters of Wujiang Microelectronics.

Zhao Ye, Zhang Rujing and others watched ASML's stock price skyrocket, with joy on their faces.

"Mr. Zhao, it seems that the outside world thinks that Wujiang Microelectronics has given up on the research and development of the Shuguang lithography machine, which caused ASML's stock price to skyrocket!" Zhang Rujing laughed loudly after finishing speaking.

As everyone knows, Shuguang Lithography Machine Company, a subsidiary of Wujiang Microelectronics, has developed an immersion lithography machine.

At present, Wujiang Microelectronics has established 10 large 8-inch fabs, and all the lithography machines in these 10 large 8-inch fabs will use Sugon immersion lithography machines.

In the original 6-inch wafer fab, some of them purchased immersion lithography machines, while others used ASML lithography machines and Suguang lithography machines.

Not all chips have to be the most advanced, and backward chips still have a market.

Zhao Ye smiled faintly. His plan was successful. ASML's stock price surged. At the same time, it was misunderstood that Wujiang Microelectronics had given up on the research and development of its own brand of lithography machines.

"Currently, many semiconductor equipment manufacturers or fabs around the world have invested heavily in dry 157nm lithography machine routes. However, our first-generation immersion technology has broken through 45nm and is moving towards 40nm... What we have The technical advantages are really obvious!”

After a pause, Zhao Ye said, "It is expected that after the release of Godson's new chip, the industry will soon find out that ASML's stock price will plummet. After a while, you can take advantage of ASML's stock price to compare When it is high, sell some stocks and cash out a lot of money. Wait for the stock price of ASML to reach the bottom, and then buy the bottom at a low price."

When Zhang Rujing heard this, she couldn't help but nodded, expressing her understanding.

Zhao Ye continued to exhort: "The breakthrough in the chip manufacturing process will have the greatest impact on the chip foundry market. At that time, global orders will flock to Wujiang Microelectronics. Companies such as TSMC and Intel will definitely be hit hard. Wujiang Microelectronics must seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to monopolize the global chip foundry market!!!”

Zhao Ye estimates that Wujiang Microelectronics can at least occupy more than 75% of the chip manufacturing market share.

TSMC's lack of foundation is likely to cause it to collapse.

Intel is able to persevere because of its own business support.

ASML is likely to receive strong support from Country M after its stock price plummeted.

Country M will never sit back and watch Wujiang Group far surpass Country M in the field of semiconductors.

At this time, the 8-inch fab of Wujiang Microelectronics is already producing chips at full capacity.

Among these chips, in addition to various consumer-grade chips, there are also a large number of aerospace chips, automotive chips, industrial chips, and military chips, covering most chip product types.

The ambition is so great, it can be seen!
However, probably only Godson Design Company in China can develop these chips. If Godson Design Company does not do it, it will only be cheaper for foreign companies.

Perhaps the chips designed by Loongson Design Company may not be more sophisticated than those abroad, but the advanced chip manufacturing process is sufficient to ensure that the performance of the chips is extremely powerful, which will give Loongson Design Company's chip products a great competitive advantage.

At present, after more than ten years of development, Loongson Design Company has more than 2.5 scientific research personnel. There is a saying that "the sea is tolerant to all rivers, but it is big." In fact, 40% of the members are from other countries.

Companies in Western countries can use Chinese, and Chinese companies can also use talents from Western countries.

Moreover, Godson Design Company has a talent training plan every year, and in the future China will have more talents engaged in chip design.

In the field of chip design, China will no longer lag behind others, but will lead the way!
