Chapter 455 It's a matter of course, a breakthrough!

Tang Chenghu stared at Populus euphratica for a long time, and found that he was really not pretending to be calm.If he insists on sitting on the ground and raising the price, the other party may really walk away.

So he secretly sighed. Although he had the mentality of "hugging the grass and hitting the rabbit" in arranging such a trick this time, Tang Chenghu felt at the time that there was still a certain possibility of success.

However, originally he thought that Charm Semiconductor and S Star would stagger to raise the purchase price.Now it seems that this young Mr. Hu doesn't like this at all.

As a result, Tang Chenghu did not dare to continue taking risks.His purpose is just to make the other party raise the price a little, but he doesn't want the negotiation to really break down.

Qimonda's technology is actually very embarrassing, and some international giants don't like it at all. For example, the technology of S Star, SK, and MG is more advanced than Qimonda's.

However, small companies do not have the strength to acquire, that is to say, Qimonda actually does not have many choices if it wants to sell Changan R&D Center.

Sell ​​to old rival S star?Let's not talk about the grievances between everyone, the spoiler will not pay the bill in the end.Therefore, after all, it can only be sold to Charm Semiconductor.

"Okay, Mr. Hu, you won. The purchase price is set at 3100 million US dollars, what do you think? But I hope that the negotiation process will be accelerated, and it is best to sign the contract within two days."

There was no embarrassment on Tang Chenghu's face. Although he used some small tricks today, they were still within the rules. He was happy if he succeeded. If he didn't succeed, he would continue according to the previous agreement.

Perhaps due to internal pressure considerations, Tang Chenghu added a symbolic $100 million.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded, this time he did not refute the other party.It's only a mere $100 million, so you have to give the CEO some face.

"Okay, then it's settled! Mr. Yan, you can continue to negotiate, don't waste time. I will chat with President Tang for a while"

Hu Yang knew that Tang Chenghu was in a hurry, so he asked Yan Hanzhang to continue negotiating with the other party.

Tang Chenghu also called someone in to explain a few words, and after a while, only Hu Yang and him were left in the conference room.

"President Tang, do you still have business with Ankang Insurance?"

Hu Yang is rather strange, how did An Zhizhi get together with the representative of S Star again?So he asked from the side.

"Hehe, you want to ask Mr. An, right? Mr. An has met me several times before, so he is an acquaintance. Today he brought a representative of Star S to find me. I heard that there is some cooperation between them."

There is nothing that can't be said about this matter. An Zhixiao knew Tang Chenghu before, and the meeting today was basically an arrangement made by An Zhixiao in advance.

"President Tang, let me tell you the truth. Qimonda's technology, currently Charm Semiconductor, is the most suitable for inheriting and carrying forward. If the international giants get it, they will definitely put your technology on the shelf. Small companies with insufficient strength, even if they get Even if you don’t know the technology, it’s hard to understand. I’m here to give you a promise, we will make your technology shine again.”

Hu Yang can understand Tang Chenghu's thoughts very well. The former semiconductor giant is now on the verge of bankruptcy, and only this promise can give him some comfort.

When Tang Chenghu heard what Hu Yang said, a smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Hu, happy cooperation! At the same time, I also wish Charm Semiconductor, and hope that you can become bigger and stronger."

Since Tang Chenghu and Hu Yang reached an agreement in principle, the negotiations on Yan Hanzhang's side only had some technical details.

The next day, Glamor Semiconductor and Qimonda formally signed a contract.

Glamor Semiconductor will acquire Qimonda Changan R&D Center for USD 3100 million.After the acquisition is completed, Charm Semiconductor will acquire all intellectual property rights owned by Qimonda R&D Center.

As one of Qimonda's two most important R&D institutions in the world, Chang'an R&D Center has Qimonda's DRAM "stacked" technology and complete "flash memory" technology.

The R&D center does not involve any debts and debts, and its most valuable asset is the R&D personnel at all levels in the center, in addition to technical data and research equipment.

So when the signing was completed, Hu Yang announced that all employees of the Changan R&D Center will be retained, and their salaries will remain the same as before.

Tang Chenghu left Chang'an and returned to Frankfurt after signing the contract.Before leaving, he specially invited Hu Yang to have a meal.

"Mr. Hu, the handover work has started smoothly. I guess it will take a while. How about I stay here and you go back to the deep sea first?"

Yan Hanzhang is full of energy these days, and the DRAM technology he has been thinking about has finally arrived.

"Well, I have asked them to apply for the route, and I will leave the day after tomorrow at the latest. Mr. Yan, during your stay, you should communicate more with the technicians in the R&D center and listen to their requirements. If it is not too much , just try to be satisfied.”

The conditions offered by Hu Yang are good in all aspects, and the purpose is to retain these talents.

For the time being, the time is not yet ripe.When the time is right, Hu Yang considers moving the R&D center to Shanghai.

"Okay, I understand. Mr. Hu, I have called Mr. Yang to come as soon as possible. After the handover work is completed, the next step of research and development work can be carried out immediately, and Mr. Yang is still needed to sit here for a while."

After Yan Hanzhang is busy with the handover work, he will also return to the deep sea.The work of the R&D center will be arranged by Yang Chenglin in the future.

A week later.

Populus euphratica, who had already returned to the deep sea, was flipping through the materials collected in Korean in the office.

According to the data, S Star has signed a contract with the local area to invest in the construction of a DRAM factory in Chang'an, and Ankang Insurance has participated in the financing of this project.

That's what happened.

Hu Yang put down the materials in his hand and decided not to pay any attention to this matter.It is also difficult to explain clearly the grievances and grievances between him and Ankang Insurance.But whoever has a chance between the two sides will never forget to give the opponent a hard move.

For example, in this negotiation with Qimonda, the purpose of Star S is to disrupt the situation.Whether or not there is An Zhizhi playing tricks behind his back, you can figure it out with your toes.

Early summer.

According to news from S Star, the world's first DRAM produced with 90 (nm) process technology has achieved mass production.

Charm Semiconductor also has good news.

"Mr. Hu, Glamor Semiconductor has successfully developed a 1GB, DRAM chip based on stacked CCP technology. Mr. Yang said that mass production of new products can be achieved within half a year at most, and we finally have high-end DRAM products."

Glamor Semiconductor was unable to break through the DRAM technology. After obtaining Qimonda's technical information, everything came naturally.

It cannot be said that Glamor Semiconductor's technical strength must be weak. The biggest problem before was how to avoid the issue of intellectual property rights. Many times you can clearly see a road to the sky, but you have to go around it.

But now it is different. With Qimonda's technology, a ready-made technology path is in front of us.You don't even have to think about patent barriers, just try to go down this road.

"This is really heart-warming good news! Looking back, we must reward all the personnel involved in the research and development work. Mr. Yan, I remember that this kind of 1GB\DRAM chip was launched by S Star not too long ago, only a year or two ?”

In the DRAM space, Glamor Semiconductor is basically starting from nothing.The products that have been successfully researched before are equivalent to the level of others in the 90s.But this time, thanks to Qimonda's technology source and self-accumulation for such a long time, it finally achieved leapfrog development.

"To be precise, it's 18 months behind Star S. At present, the company's DRAM factory has entered the equipment debugging stage, and trial production can be carried out in the third quarter, and mass production should be achieved before the end of the year."

At this stage, Charm Semiconductor's production capacity is stronger than its design capacity.However, with the passage of time, especially when the company has obtained Qimonda's technical information and R&D team, this gap will soon be smoothed out.

"Mr. Yan, continue to increase investment in research and development, increase research funding of 6000 million U.S. dollars to Rapo Corporation in North America, and allocate 5 million yuan to the research and development centers of Charming Semiconductor Magic City and Chang'an."

Glamor Semiconductor currently has three main R&D institutions. The R&D center of the headquarters has been moved to Shanghai, and there are also Ripper and Chang'an R&D centers in Silicon Valley.

It is precisely because of the cooperation of these three R&D institutions that Charm Semiconductor's DRAM technology has achieved leapfrog development.

If you want to produce results, you must be willing to invest and spend money. Hu Yang and Yan Hanzhang both understand this truth.

"Okay, Mr. Hu, I'll make arrangements right away."

Yan Hanzhang immediately left Hu Yang's office to arrange for funding.

When he was alone in the office, Hu Yang stood up abruptly and threw the pen on the table.

At this time, Hu Yang wished he could sing loudly to vent his inner joy.

Charm Semiconductor has been struggling on the profit and loss line, so that Hu Yang needs to keep financing for it.But now, everything has paid off. Even international giants such as S Star can hardly use price wars and other means to threaten the company's survival.

Hu Yang, who was in a good mood, went to the gym to do a few sets of equipment, and practiced with Li Jie for half an hour, which calmed down his mind.

After taking a shower and returning to the office, Hu Yang called Meng Rusong and asked him to inform all the directors that the board meeting will be held next month. There is only one topic to be discussed. He suggested that all employees of Xintong International should be raised.

Among them, the salaries of technical personnel rose by 25%, and the salaries of managers and other employees rose by 20%.

"Mr. Hu, this will increase the company's cost by a large amount. Are you not afraid of affecting the company's performance? Of course, as a beneficiary, I welcome this proposal very much."

Meng Rusong made a joke on the phone. One of the reasons why he wholeheartedly worked hard with Hu Yang was because Hu Yang was very generous to his own people.
