Chapter 648 Thunderbolt, Difficult to Distinguish Friend and Enemy

Chapter 648 Thunderbolt, Difficult to Distinguish Friend and Enemy
Although Meng Rusong was mentally prepared for the suppression in North America, it was much earlier than he expected.

"Mr. Hu, the most critical issue now is the lithography machine. We can't get rid of ASML's equipment supply for the time being, especially the equipment after the 45nm node."

The previous theory was that the limit of 10nm process can be achieved by using DUV (deep violet) lithography machine.

But in Hu Yang's memory, ASML finally pushed this limit to 7nm.

After the advent of EUV (extreme violet) lithography machine, the process node starts from 7nm. When it reaches 5nm, DUV is really powerless.

Now, there is no shortage of 45nm lithography machines in NTS International, and ASML and microelectronics equipment are supplying him normally.

But devices after the 45nm node are in trouble.

Looking at the current situation of microelectronic equipment, the normal production of 45nm lithography machines has encountered great trouble, let alone the future 28nm lithography machines and 14nm lithography machines.

North America's suppression of Xintong International still starts with the supply of equipment.There is no worry about raw materials for the time being, including large-size silicon wafers, photoresist, etc.

"Let's overcome the difficulties for the time being. The research and development of the next-generation process technology can be slowed down, and the potential of the existing 45nm process technology will continue to be tapped.

The development of the whole machine of Bolong Optics is going smoothly, but in view of the suppression of microelectronic equipment in North America, the company is also establishing a new supply chain.

However, no matter how fast the mass production time is, it will take about eight months.Mr. Meng, do you know the specific time when North America will implement this suppression plan? "

North America suddenly took action against Xintong International, which completely disrupted the steps of Populus euphratica.

If it doesn't work, we can only buy microelectronics equipment in advance.So before making a move, he needs to know the exact time when North America announced the plan.

"North America has always been extremely efficient in doing this kind of thing. As far as I know, when we wake up, there should be news announced."

According to the time difference between the two sides, the North American side should have announced the news around 1:[-] noon.

Although Meng Rusong didn't say it explicitly, he should be very sure.

"Mr. Meng, don't do anything now. Let's have a drink, and then you go back to sleep. A temporary meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon, and all directors will be notified to be present, so we can discuss the countermeasures."

Hu Yang did not mention the acquisition of microelectronics equipment, and now this matter has become very complicated.The company is not only facing pressure from North America, but also RB Nikon is watching.

Therefore, he only has one chance to make a shot, and he must be steady and ruthless.

The next day.

The first thing Hu Yang did when he came to the company was to ask Yu Hongbo to come over quickly.

Without any suspense, at noon local time in North America, the other party announced suppression measures against microelectronic equipment.

Including technical cooperation, technology authorization, parts supply, etc., all North American companies will stop, and no exceptions will be allowed for any North American companies.

What's strange is that Meng Rusong clearly said that NTS International would be implicated, but judging from the published information, he didn't mention it at all.

On the contrary, the media in North America has a lot of true and false reports.

"Boss, such a big bad news has been fulfilled. The stock price of microelectronic equipment immediately fell to the limit. Looking at this trend, it may even fall to around 10 yuan."

Yu Hongbo collected the market's reaction in the morning, and now the market is full of wailing.The limit fell at the opening, indicating that all kinds of capital in the market are fleeing.

"Old Yu, inform your team to keep an eye on microelectronic equipment. From now on, prepare to implement the acquisition plan for microelectronic equipment.

The first step, of course, is to buy tradable shares from the secondary market.You are responsible for this matter. As long as the stock price of microelectronic equipment falls below 12 yuan, you will start to enter the market. "

Hu Yang looked at Yu Hongbo and gave the order directly.

However, he only talked about the first step, and did not mention the second step for the time being.

"Okay, I understand. In addition, Xintong International was affected by market rumors, and it also fell a lot after the opening of the market today. Before I left, the share price of Xintong International had fallen by 4%."

Fortunately, the news about Xintong International has not been confirmed, otherwise it will fall badly today.

Hu Yang didn't know why the suppression plan against Xintong International was postponed, but there was nothing to be happy about. It was like a sword hanging above a person's head. How could you do things with peace of mind?
After Hong Bo left the office, Hu Yang started to deal with daily work.Just after ten o'clock, Zhang Xiao hurried over.

"Mr. Hu, microelectronics equipment is probably doomed. North America's actions are too fast, and Mr. Li and the others don't have time to restructure the supply chain."

As soon as Zhang Xiao entered the door, he said a lot angrily.In any case, he has put too much effort into microelectronics, even though he has resigned and left, he still feels very uncomfortable.

Li Qi has tried his best, but due to the short time, not to mention the reconstruction of the supply chain, even the reserves of raw materials and parts are far from meeting expectations.

According to Zhang Xiao's estimation, microelectronic equipment has solved the reserve inventory of at most 3 months during this period, which is still far from their one-year reserve target.

"Mr. Zhang, in a crisis, there is an opportunity. I have officially launched the acquisition of microelectronics equipment. There is no retreat in this matter. No matter how difficult it is, I will not back down."

Hu Yang stood up, waving his right hand while talking, as if he wanted to use body movements to strengthen his determination.

It is rare for Zhang Xiao to see Hu Yang in such an emotional state, which shows that this incident has a very important impact on the entire Huijia Department.

"Has the acquisition plan officially started? That would be great! Mr. Hu, what do you need me to do? Just say, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it."

Zhang Xiao was also infected by Populus euphratica's emotions, so he was short of issuing a military order.

"Well, then I won't bother you. Go and talk to the company's minority shareholders. I am willing to buy their shares at twice the company's net assets."

The shareholding ratio of the company's minority shareholders is very low and cannot determine the general trend.But Hu Yang thinks that flies and mosquitoes are meat, and the role of critical moments should not be underestimated.

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment. Those small shareholders held a total of 660 million shares of microelectronic equipment.

In the end, though, he said nothing and immediately started calling.

"Mr. Hu, they agreed to meet, and I will meet them one by one now. I guess there is no problem. It is their luck to buy their shares at twice the price of their net assets."

After listing and dilution, the company's net assets per share are around 22 yuan.

According to the current market trend, continuous stock price limit drop is a high probability event.Not to mention 22 yuan, the company's stock price might not even be able to keep 10 yuan.

Zhang Xiao left as soon as he said that, and immediately left the International Building.

However, the first negotiation with these small shareholders was not very smooth, and the other party still had a little illusion.However, in the next three days, the microelectronic equipment fell to the limit three times in a row, which made these guys completely give up.

They quickly signed an equity transfer agreement with Bolong Optics. The company's board of directors meeting was required for the agreement to take effect, and at the very least, the approval of Mordu State-owned Assets was required.

Regarding the motion proposed by Hu Yang, Director You was noncommittal.Anyway, he didn't intend to stop it with all his strength, because the shareholding ratio of those small shareholders was so pitifully low that it didn't affect the overall situation at all.

Yang Hu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't object.The reason was similar to that of Director You, but more importantly, it was useless for his family to object.

The current shareholding structure of microelectronics equipment is so interesting that no single major shareholder can decide the company's major events, unless the two are united.

"Then thank you directors!"

On the minutes of the board of directors, Hu Yang and others signed their names respectively.

Turning around, the company issued an announcement, and the equity transfer agreement came into effect.Then the payment should be made, and the change procedures can be done.

Today's meeting only had this one topic, since the motion was passed, Director You and Hu Yang greeted each other, stood up and left.

He has been very upset recently, and he is often criticized in meetings in the city.

Especially in recent days, the stock price of microelectronic equipment has fallen terribly, and production and operation have encountered unprecedented difficulties.

Director You basically gave up hope for the company, and he has already started to look for a way out.

"Mr. Hu, please stop! Do you have time to chat?"

Hu Yang also got up and left immediately. Just as he walked to the door of the conference room, he heard Yang Hu calling him.

Hu Yang stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Yang Hu, and then turned back to his previous seat.

"Mr. Yang, what advice do you have? Please tell me."

Yang Hu smiled and said:

"Mr. Hu doesn't need to be so guarded against me. We are comrades in the trenches now, aren't we? I ask you to stay a little longer because I want to discuss something with you."

"Discuss things? If it is to transfer your equity to Nikon, then there is no need to mention it. Not only will I not agree to this matter, but Director You will not agree, and even the regulatory authorities will not agree."

Hu Yang nodded, his tone was very calm, but his attitude was very firm.

"Mr. Hu, where are you thinking? Summit Capital has given up on the previous equity transfer plan. I understand what you said. Since it is impossible to succeed, why should I be stubborn?"

Yang Hu shook his head with a smile, saying that it was not about equity transfer.

In the past few days, he and Wu Zunyou have also been doing activities around, but the information they got back was very bad, just like what Hu Yang said, no one would allow the sale of microelectronic equipment to foreign capital.

You must know that Microelectronics Equipment was the first manufacturer in China to develop a high-end lithography machine. Although the technology at that time was relatively backward, this achievement cannot be denied.

Now, microelectronics equipment has encountered great difficulties, but it does not mean that this enterprise has no value.

Although Peak Capital is not well-known, it is a real financial giant in China.When Yang Hu and Wu Zunyou return to rationality, they can naturally make objective judgments.

Hearing what he said, Hu Yang found it strange.It's not a matter of equity transfer, what else can we talk about?

However, Yang Hu was right in saying something.

The key and difficult point now lies in the survival of the enterprise, and any grievances and grievances between the major shareholders should be restrained.

"President Yang, please speak up if you have something to say."

Hu Yang doesn't want to go around in circles with him, everyone's time is precious now.

"Then let me just say it straight! Nikon wants to make a deal with microelectronics equipment. To be precise, it wants to do technology exchange. They want to get the company's dual-table technology. What technology the company needs can be proposed.

In addition, Nikon also said that they can help the company restructure the supply chain. For some key components, they also have alternative products in addition to North America and Germany. "

The expression on Yang Hu's face suddenly became very serious. This matter is very important to Summit Capital.He and Wu Zunyou expended a lot of energy to complete this plan, and the most worrying thing is Hu Yang's obstruction.

Therefore, Yang Hu talked about this with Hu Yang first, and Director You was behind.

Hu Yang pondered for a moment, at first he thought that the other party came to be this lobbyist just to please Nikon.But thinking about it, it doesn't seem right.Since the previous equity transfer plan of Summit Capital is impossible to implement, what's the use of currying favor with Nikon?

"Mr. Yang, I don't quite understand. Are you helping the other party to match up, or are you acting as the other party's agent?"

There is definitely a difference between a matchmaker and an agent.

One is of the nature of helping, and the other is tied to the other party.The reason why Hu Yang asked this was to find out Yang Hu's true intentions.

"Mr. Hu, I know you don't trust me. But I really did this for the sake of the company, because the company collapsed, and the 100 billion yuan invested by our peak capital was in vain. So, my There is only one purpose, and that is to bring up the company's share price as soon as possible."

Yang Hu's words did not seem to be false, but should be the truth.

Summit Capital invested in microelectronics equipment for the purpose of making excess profits, but the subsequent changes greatly exceeded their expectations.

Now, the biggest goal of Summit Capital is to reduce losses and then exit smoothly.It's about investing.Profit and loss are normal, but necessary remedial measures are still necessary.

"Why didn't you find Director You? Maybe he is easier to be persuaded than me."

Hu Yang smiled slightly and asked a very nonsensical question.

But Yang Hu didn't dare to take it lightly, he thought for a long time before replying: "Director You is afraid that he will take the blame this time, he is disheartened now, how dare he get involved in this kind of thing? Therefore, I might as well come to you, as long as If I can convince you, it will be done.”

Hu Yang didn't make a sound, and habitually tapped the table with his fingers, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons of this matter in his mind.

"Mr. Yang, I have to admit that your plan is very attractive. But, what benefits do I have? Don't say that if the stock price goes up, I will also benefit. You know what I want! Let's do it today. Let’s talk about this first, and go back and think about it.”

Hu Yang needs time to evaluate this plan, and Yang Hu needs to consider Hu Yang's conditions.Both of them are sensible people, they did not continue to entangle, and each left the microelectronics equipment.
