Chapter 651 The agent and the boss behind the scenes

"Listen to me explaining that we urgently need to mobilize funds now, and on the premise of mobilizing funds, we can grit our teeth and persist for a while.

I mortgaged my equity to Hu Yang and got back some cash.During this process, Hu Yang can hold shares on our behalf. Doesn’t that mean he has temporarily obtained control of the company? "

When Wu Zunyou said this, Yang Hu was also a little tempted.

But there are still many problems. For example, Hu Yang has obtained temporary control of the company. What should he do if he conducts a new round of financing?
Capital increase and share expansion will inevitably dilute the rights and interests of the original shareholders, and they may take this opportunity to take away the permanent control of the company.

"Mr. Yang, there is some reason for your worry. However, don't forget that for us at Summit Capital, the purpose is not to control the enterprise itself, but to obtain benefits. Of course, in the case of investment failure, Losses must be minimized as much as possible.”

Wu Zunyou has no opinion on capital increase and share expansion, but capital increase and share expansion must not make the original shareholders suffer.

For example, Peak Capital spent 100 billion yuan to obtain a 30% stake in microelectronic equipment.If the company really conducts the next round of financing in the future, the valuation of the company should at least not be lower than this, and can only be higher than this.

If there is such a good thing, what is there to object to?Doesn't this mean that someone paid for them to share the loss?

Wu Zunyou explained to Yang Hu patiently, Yang Hu couldn't help nodding frequently.

This guy is indeed an old fox, he is more thoughtful than himself when he thinks about problems.

"Come on, then I will hurry to find Hu Yang again now."

Yang Hu is a quick-tempered person. Seeing that the matter has come to a conclusion, he stood up and prepared to go to the International Building again.

But Wu Zunyou reached out his hand to stop him, and said: "Mr. Yang, don't be in such a hurry. Let's wait and wait for the result of the negotiation between Li Qi and Nikon."

A lot of things mixed together, it seems very messy.But no matter how chaotic it is, there must be a sequence for solving problems.This is the so-called grasping the big and letting go of the small.

The top priority now should be the negotiations between Nikon and microelectronics.

Because this not only involves the technology exchange between the two companies, but also involves the reconstruction of the supply chain of microelectronics equipment.

If Nikon can supply some components for microelectronic equipment, and microelectronic equipment can find several new suppliers from the international market (outside North America), this hurdle will probably be overcome.

Now that the most difficult time has passed, the stock price of microelectronic equipment will naturally rise sharply.Wu Zunyou had this wishful thinking in his heart.

So, he asked Yang Hu to wait a few more days.At that time, Yang Hu said that he would call Hu Yang within three days, and he would wait for three days before speaking.

Yang Hu quickly figured out this truth, and he admired Wu Zunyou even more in his heart.At this moment, he even hopes to cooperate with Wu Zunyou for a long time.

With such a vicious guy around, the company should develop better, right?

But this idea was stifled by himself as soon as it was born. If Wu Zunyou really entered Pinnacle Capital, where should Yang Hu's position be?
What's more, Wu Zunyou is the behind-the-scenes boss of Pinnacle Capital, someone temporarily sent by "they" to help Yang Hu.At that time, there was that huge subsidy, so they sent a general.He reckoned that it would be very difficult to have a chance to deal with the other party after the matter of the microelectronic equipment was completely resolved.

Summit Capital seems to respect Yang Hu, but in fact he is just an agent.

Just like this time, Wu Zunyou found a RB from nowhere, Kitahara Sosuke, as the executive president of microelectronics equipment.

The explanation Wu Zunyou gave was that he wanted to gain more voice within the company.But he didn't explain the background of this RB person to Yang Hu, nor the real purpose of the other party.

Yang Hu didn't dare to ask more, because Wu Zunyou revealed that this meant "they".

Kitahara Sosuke has been conscientious since he came to microelectronics equipment.He never inquired about technical matters, let alone took the initiative to contact technical information.

Hu Yang also analyzed it with Zhang Xiao in private, but he also couldn't understand the role of this person.If you say that the other party is coming for the double workbench, it doesn't look like it at the moment.

Up to now, microelectronic equipment is the only technology worthy of others' attention.

It's not a big deal, though.Microelectronics equipment does not yet belong to the Huijia Department, and Hu Yang has no intention of intervening in advance.

Besides, there is Li Qi on the microelectronics side.Li Qi is not a good man and a faithful woman, it is really not an easy task to make a name for himself under his nose.

"Mr. Hu, the Modu State-owned Assets is tantamount to rejecting our tender offer? Then what should we do next? Pin all our hopes on Summit Capital?"

Zhang Xiao's feelings for the state-owned capital of Shanghai are very complicated, but no matter what, he was kicked out by others.So, for this acquisition, his willingness is even stronger than Hu Yang.

"What you said is inaccurate. It's not that the state-owned capital of Shanghai refused, but Director You refused! I'll go to the city later. They should have a more comprehensive perspective than Director You."

Hu Yang smiled slightly, but didn't say much.

He also had some new ideas in the past two days, but they were not very mature, so he didn't say them in front of Zhang Xiao.

"Well, I hope so. Mr. Hu, our plan to build a new supply chain has been implemented relatively smoothly. Most of the parts are fine, and now only the high-resolution objective lens is a bit troublesome."

In a few months, Bolong Optical's 45nm lithography machine will be mass-produced.

Zhang Xiao's main task during this period is to establish a new supply chain to meet future production needs.

Optical lenses are not difficult for Bolong Optics, they can produce them themselves.However, it is still technically difficult to apply high-precision lenses to objective lenses.

For example, the production of chips is based on nanometers, which requires quite high technical indicators.The technical level of domestic high-precision lenses is still at a disadvantage compared with Zeiss and even RB manufacturers.

If there is no suppression from North America, it is not difficult to establish a cooperative relationship with Zeiss Semiconductor.But with the obstacles in North America, Zeiss Semiconductor has to consider more issues.Anyway, their big client is ASML, so they must focus on the other side.

"Well, it's a little troublesome. Talk to the RB manufacturer to see if it's possible to cooperate with them."

As Hu Yang was talking, he suddenly became dazed.

In fact, some things may not be as complicated as you think.The purpose of Kitahara Sosuke as the CEO of Microelectronics Equipment is not important, but who he represents is important.

Does Kitahara Cansuke really represent Summit Capital?

Hu Yang thinks not.

If Summit Capital wants to occupy the position of CEO, they have many candidates to choose from, why send an RB person?
He heard from Li Qi that after Kitahara Cansuke came to the company, except for sensitive related technologies, he almost went to every corner of the company.

Of course, Kitahara Cansuke's work was done impeccably.

"Mr. Hu?"

Seeing Hu Yang staring blankly there, Zhang Xiao waited for a long time before calling out.

Hu Yang came back to his senses, smiled at Zhang and said, "Mr. Zhang, I suddenly had an idea just now. That Kitahara Cansuke can only be from Nikon, otherwise many things cannot be explained."

Zhang Xiao thought for a minute, then shook her head and said:

"Impossible? If Kitahara Sosuke is from Nikon, why would they send another person to discuss technology exchange with Director Li?"

He couldn't figure out why the other party needed to do this, wouldn't it be superfluous?

Hu Yang couldn't figure it out either, but he was confident in his judgment, "Mr. Zhang, let's wait and see, the answer should be revealed soon."

While talking, Wu Xinhui knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Li from Microelectronics said he wanted to visit you. Do you have time to meet him?"

"Well let him come now, just say I'm waiting for him in the office."

Hu Yang nodded in agreement, and Wu Xinhui turned around and went out to call Li Qi back.

"Mr. Hu, since Director Li is coming, I'd better avoid it for a while."

Zhang Xiao doesn't really want to see Li Qi, there are various reasons, even he himself can't explain clearly.

"It's okay, you can sit here and listen. I guess he has made progress in the negotiation with Nikon, so he came to talk to me."

The results of Li Qi's negotiations still need to be approved by the board of directors.

Therefore, before reaching an agreement with the other party, Li Qi must first communicate with several major shareholders.

Hearing what Hu Yang said, Zhang Xiao didn't stick to her own opinion, so she sat down patiently and continued to drink tea, and talked with Hu Yang about her thoughts on the future development of Bolong Optics.

In less than an hour, Li Qi came to Hu Yang's office.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhang, hello."

"Director Li, please sit down. You must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so let's talk about it."

Hu Yang asked Wu Xinhui to pour a cup of tea for Li Qi, and then looked at him with a smile.

Li Qi was not hypocritical, he didn't even bother to take a sip of tea, he said:
"Mr. Hu, Nikon wants our dual-bench technology. They are willing to help the company restructure the supply chain and offer a few technologies as compensation."

After speaking, Li Qi took out a document from his bag, which contained the details of this negotiation and the technical exchange catalog as an attachment.

Hu Yang took it over and glanced at it, then handed it to Zhang Xiao casually.

After reading it, Zhang Xiao snorted and said, "Nikon wants to be beautiful. Is this an empty-handed plan? Mr. Hu, look, what are the technologies they exchanged for? Microelectronics equipment was developed a few years ago. Got it, what's the use of coming?"

The expression on Li Qi's face was a little awkward, and he said in a low voice: "But the supply chain is a big problem, and if we don't solve it, the company will shut down soon."

It is impossible to talk about a complete shutdown, after all, the company still has mid-to-low-end lithography equipment.The production in this area is not restricted by the supply chain, and the problems have basically been solved.

However, high-end lithography equipment had to stop working and wait for materials. The loss in this area was huge. The company's profit loss was more than half.

Just as Zhang Xiao wanted to refute, Hu Yang quickly gave him a wink.

Only then did Zhang Xiao close his mouth, looking very unwilling.

"Mr. Li, put the information here first, and I'll take a closer look later. I'll tell you our attitude in two days, okay?"

Hu Yang didn't say it to death, but he had already denied this negotiation in his heart.

Li Qi sighed and said:
"Mr. Hu, then I'll talk to the other party again. Nikon's sincerity is not enough, and they obviously have the idea of ​​making things worse.

But microelectronic equipment is also on the verge of life and death, and I really feel powerless.Those two continue to chat, I will take a step first. "

Li Qi quickly left Hu Yang's office, Hu Yang didn't know if it was his own illusion, he felt that Li Qi had aged a lot in just a short period of time.

Indeed, can Li Qi not grow old?As soon as he took over, the company began to falter.The three major shareholders never forgot their intrigue, and it was extremely uncomfortable for him to be caught in the middle.

Back to microelectronics equipment, Li Qi called Nikon's representatives and told them that their conditions were difficult for the company's board of directors to accept.

In this case, there is no need for another board meeting.Before he reported to Director You, Director You disagreed.Now, Hu Yang played the trick of dragging characters again, obviously he didn't agree with it, so he directly replied to the other party.

Nikon's representative said nothing, except that he needed to seek the company's opinion on whether there would be a second round of negotiations.

The news was fed back to Wu Zunyou and Yang Hu, both of them felt a little disappointed.

"Mr. Wu, this means that the matter of technology exchange is over? Then what should we do? Or just follow your plan?"

Yang Hu didn't like to procrastinate like this. He was more inclined to reach an agreement with Hu Yang, even if it was to hand over the shares in his hand to the other party to hold the shares.

"It seems that this can only be the case! As a big international company, Nikon is also so stingy? Or because of the situation of microelectronics equipment, they want to take advantage of it?
Hmph, Hu Yang is a tough guy, he will never agree.Director You can't bear the infamy, let alone agree.Therefore, if this matter is not done well, it is really useless.

Mr. Yang, you can go to Hu Yang tomorrow and talk to him according to the plan. I hope he will not be too greedy, so we can have an explanation. "

Wu Zunyou knows that those so-called international giants have similar virtues, who is polite to you in front of interests?If there is no advantage, people will not be so proactive.

"Okay, I'll go to the International Building tomorrow. By the way, Mr. Wu, it seems useless for Kitahara Cansuke to go to the microelectronics equipment. He can't steal the company's technical background, can he?"

Yang Hu still couldn't hold back, and asked Kitahara Cansuke.

"Mr. Yang, reality is not a novel. It's better not to talk nonsense about some things. As for Beiyuan Cansuke, I know as much as you do."

Wu Zunyou really didn't know Beiyuan Cangsuke's real purpose, this person was arranged by "them", and he himself just followed the order.

Summit Capital is just a company on the table. The sources of funds behind the company are very complicated, and "they" are the people behind the company.
