Chapter 652 I'm Not an Undercover Agent

Chapter 652 I'm Not an Undercover Agent
There is one thing that Yang Hu may not know very well, but Wu Zunyou knows a little bit.Summit Capital has an important source of funding, which is the consortium from RB.

This fund is well hidden, it is not obvious from the surface, and Wu Zunyou only learned a little from "them" by chance.

At this time, Wu Zunyou's phone rang, he looked down and hurried out to answer the phone.

After ten minutes, he returned to the room.

"Mr. Yang, don't look for Hu Yang for the time being tomorrow, they have ordered us to do our best to cooperate with Kitahara Cangsuke.

From now on, Kitahara Sosuke will negotiate on behalf of Nikon for the microelectronics.It seems that we have to re-appoint an executive president again. "

Wu Zunyou was a bit unwilling, but "they" asked Summit Capital to maintain the status quo until Beiyuan Cangjie's mission ended.

If Kitahara Sosuke wants to be a representative of Nikon, of course he must first resign from all positions in microelectronics.Then, the CEO of the company is vacant.

"What else is there to arrange? I think even if Kitahara Cansuke comes forward, it may be difficult to negotiate. I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. Let Kitahara Cansuke enter the management of microelectronic equipment, making it look like an undercover agent. Now, he Isn’t it just a joke to jump out on behalf of Nikon again?”

Yang Hu finally couldn't bear it anymore, "they" usually rarely intervene in the specific business of Summit Capital.But this time, "they" not only intervened, but also made such a big joke.

Yes, in Yang Hu's view, it was a mistake to let Kitahara Cansuke be the CEO of the company.Not long after working, he resigned and came to negotiate with the company on behalf of Nikon. Isn't this just a joke!

Wu Zunyou didn't say anything, he never commented prematurely on things he didn't understand.

Almost at the same time.

Huijia International Building.

Kitahara Cansuke got out of the car, and instead of leaving the parking lot immediately, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

The call was to Hu Yang, and the person who answered the call was Wu Xinhui.

"You mean, Mr. Sosuke Kitahara, the CEO of Microelectronics, wants to see me? And he's in the parking lot under the building?"

Hu Yang thought it was interesting, it seemed that his judgment was not wrong.

This mystery may soon be revealed.

"Assistant Wu, please go down with Li Jie to pick up the guests. Be polite and be polite to them."

Hu Yang sent Wu Xinhui away, and couldn't help laughing while sitting.

He has almost figured out the structure of Pinnacle Capital. Yang Hu and Wu Zunyou are at best two agents. The bosses behind them probably have a lot to do with Japanese capital!

Now that Kitahara Cansuke has come forward in person, it seems that the life of Yang Hu and others will be very difficult in the future.

If these two guys are unlucky, Hu Yang will feel very happy.If it weren't for these two guys' meddling, their merger and reorganization plan might have been successful, so how could there be such troubles now.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hu! I take the liberty to come here, and I hope you don't mind."

Wu Xinhui led Kitahara Cangjie directly to the reception room, Hu Yang walked in after 5 minutes, and Kitahara Cangsuke made a 90-degree bow as soon as they met.

"Mr. Beiyuan, please sit down, please don't be too polite! Assistant Wu, make a pot of tea, and I will chat with Mr. Beiyuan slowly."

Hu Yang's attitude is lukewarm, but his etiquette is very thoughtful.

Waiting for a pot of hot tea to be served, Hu Yang and Kitahara Cansuke slowly drank the tea, and the room was quiet for several minutes.

"Mr. Hu, I have already submitted my resignation letter, so I am no longer a person in microelectronics equipment. I take the liberty to come to see you, and I represent the position of Nikon."

Kitahara Sosuke's last job before entering microelectronics equipment was actually Nikon.It's just that this period of experience was very short, and almost no one knew about it.

"Mr. Kitahara, wait a minute. You turned around and became a member of Nikon, so what did you do in microelectronics before? As an undercover agent?

This really taught me that someone sent an executive undercover.Mr. Kitahara, do you have any explanation for this matter?I think if you don't have a reasonable explanation, then there is no need for our conversation to continue. "

Hu Yang felt incredible.

All kinds of methods emerge in endlessly in the market, and it is not uncommon for them to undermine each other, compete, and poach someone.

But what the hell is undercover?This is not a spy movie.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, I express my deep apologies to you!"

Faced with Hu Yang's accusation, Kitahara Cansuke immediately stood up from his seat and bowed deeply to him.This behavior is no longer an apology, but a standard apology.

"Mr. Kitahara, please sit down."

Hu Yang was very helpless, if he didn't speak, it is estimated that Kitahara Kurasuke could maintain this posture for 10 minutes.

"Mr. Hu, I didn't mean to offend you. I have stayed in microelectronics equipment for a while, as long as I have an objective and in-depth understanding of this company.

Technology exchange is only one of the reasons, and the other important reason is that we want to have long-term cooperation with your Huijia Department through microelectronic equipment. "

Since Kitahara Cangsuke took the initiative to find Populus euphratica, he would definitely not make any more detours.He made it very clear that Nikon wanted to cooperate with Hu Yang and his Huijia series, not just for a certain technology.

During his time in microelectronics equipment, he focused on examining the company's technology and parts supply, as well as the possibility of the other party's de-North Americanization.

Hu Yang nodded, but did not continue to criticize Kitahara Cansuke.

Kitahara Cansuke was recommended by Summit Capital, and apparently they had some unknown deals with Nikon.

However, Kitahara Cangsuke's sudden move might have caught Fengfeng Capital off guard.

"Mr. Kitahara, hasn't Nikon already sent people to discuss technology exchange with microelectronics equipment? To be honest, I don't quite understand your operations."

Hu Yang still maintains a proper level of vigilance. When dealing with RB Company, it is always right to be more careful.

Kitahara Sosuke immediately replied:
"Mr. Hu, technology exchange is just a normal business activity, and what I want to talk to you about is the long-term planning of the company. The two are not at the same level.
To tell you the truth, after so many days of on-the-spot investigations, I think it is very difficult to survive the wave of blows in North America with the help of microelectronics alone.

But you and your Huijia system are a variable. If you are willing to lend a helping hand, we are still optimistic about microelectronics. "

Hu Yang knew that this was Nikon's true attitude. The other party's purpose was to cooperate with the entire Huijia system, so the things in the picture must not be trivial.

"Oh? Then do you have any specific plans?"

At this time, Populus euphratica was also a little interested.As long as the other party is not interested in microelectronic equipment, other matters can be discussed.

"Mr. Hu, we are willing to cooperate sincerely with you and join your supply chain. I don't just refer to microelectronic equipment, but mainly to Bolong Optics.

It was our fault for not coming to you directly before.But please understand, we need to really see your strength, whether you can survive under the suppression of North America. "

Kitahara Cansuke directly stated his purpose, and at the same time defended himself.

In fact, Nikon has done so many things just to confirm the strength of the Huijia series.If the strength of the other party is reliable, Nikon does not mind to actively carry out cooperation with Huijia under the pressure of North America.

In the field of lithography machines, several companies of RB are pioneers.If it weren't for the semiconductor war that year, which disintegrated RB's semiconductor industry chain, ASML might not have a bright future.

Of course, Nikon and other companies' mistakes in light source research and development are also an important reason for the decline of high-end lithography machine technology.

In the end, Intel gave Nikon a fatal blow. They were the first to announce that in the new process technology, they would completely abandon Nikon's equipment and adopt ASML's equipment.

Then S Star, Taipower and other international giants followed suit. After all, they all have shares in ASML.

However, Nikon still retains some advanced technologies.At present, Nikon is still the world's number one company in low-end lithography equipment.

"Mr. Kitahara, it seems that you have gotten what you want during your time at Microelectronics. I can forgive your previous behavior, but I hope there will be no next time."

Populus euphratica smiled lightly, not rejecting the olive branch extended by Nikon.

He knows that RB people hold grudges, just like Takuya Sakamoto before, who joined Charm Semiconductor with his own technology.

To say how much Sakamoto Takuya loves domestic life is not the case.The more important reason is that he always remembers the semiconductor war in his heart, and he always wants to take revenge.

Nikon's thinking is not so simple, it is much more complicated.

The temptation of huge interests is one aspect, and wanting to add obstacles to North America is another aspect.

But there is a prerequisite for all of this, that is, the strength of the Huijia department must be sufficient.Otherwise, Nikon took a certain risk to supply raw materials and components to microelectronic equipment and Bolong Optics. In the end, Huijia couldn't stand it and collapsed first.

Kitahara Sosuke used his time in microelectronics equipment to indirectly understand the strength of Bolong Optics.

Kitahara Sosuke spoke highly of the technical level and production capacity of Bolong Optics.Therefore, Nikon decided to take one step and discuss cooperation with Hu Yang directly.

As for the pinnacle capital used by them, it's not a big problem.The source of funds for Summit Capital is very complicated, and a considerable part of the funds comes from RB's consortium, which actually comes from Nikon.

RB's consortium's domestic investment is very common, and RB's Softbank has invested in a well-known domestic e-commerce company.

SoftBank invested aboveboard, while Nikon took a roundabout route.

Except for the bosses behind Summit Capital, even the agents at the front desk, such as Yang Hu, didn't know about it.

"Mr. Hu, then we can have an open and honest talk. I guarantee that our side has considerable sincerity."

Kitahara Cangsuke is very satisfied with today's meeting. It can be seen that Hu Yang is a pragmatic person.

"Okay, then let's form a team as soon as possible to start the negotiation. The negotiation will be based on Bolong Optics. However, Mr. Beiyuan, I have one more condition. That is, no one is allowed to disclose this information to the outside world before the negotiation is over."

Hu Yang does not want a piece of specious news to cause violent fluctuations in the stock price of microelectronics equipment.In that case, it will definitely affect his acquisition plan.

Also, the negotiation with Nikon is conducted in the name of Bolong Optics, not microelectronics.

Regarding the conditions proposed by Hu Yang, Kitahara Cansuke did not appear to be very surprised.

The reason why Beiyuan Cangsuke came to discuss cooperation with Hu Yang instead of Li Qi was that Nikon was convinced that sooner or later Huijia would acquire microelectronics equipment.

Nikon has made an in-depth analysis of Populus euphratica's development history in the semiconductor field, and feels that every step he takes is extremely solid.What he wanted to do, it turned out, was done in the end.

Nikon itself has no chance in high-end lithography equipment.The reason is still the same sentence, lithography machine is a very small industry, without orders and long-term customers, it can only fail in the end.

However, Hu Yang’s Huijia Department is different. The semiconductor kingdom he has established over the years has almost formed a closed-loop ecology.

In view of repeated suppressions in North America, the Huijia department has actually started the process of "de-North Americanization" long ago.

That is, the localization alternative of key technologies and important equipment, commonly known as the "spare tire plan".

During his time in microelectronics equipment, Kitahara Cansuke verified the technical strength of the Huijia system with his own eyes, and believed that the other party was not an "unsupportable idiot", but a promising star of tomorrow.

"Mr. Hu, thank you very much. I hope our cooperation can have a good start. Sorry to bother you for so long, our negotiating team will arrive within three days."

Kitahara Cansuke achieved his goal, so he stood up and left.

After Hu Yang waited for Wu Xinhui to send the guests back, he asked her to call quickly and inform Meng Rusong, Huang Tao, Xu Younian, Zhang Xiao, Dai Xiangjun and others to come to the International Building for a meeting in the afternoon.

Populus euphratica does not reject the olive branch extended by Nikon.

Kitahara Sosuke also said just now that the cooperation between the two parties only involves high-end lithography machines, not mid-to-low-end lithography equipment.

In other words, in the field of low-end lithography, how should everyone compete remains the same.Although Nikon no longer produces high-end lithography machines, there are many raw materials and parts that can be supplied, and even some technologies are not impossible to transfer.

Therefore, when everyone sat down for a meeting in the afternoon, the almost unanimous opinion was that they could cooperate with Nikon.

This kind of cooperation is definitely a win-win situation in the short term.

"Mr. Hu, then there is only one question left, and that is whether we can successfully acquire microelectronic equipment."

Xu Younian saw clearly that Nikon would not cooperate with a mere microelectronics company.

Because pulling out microelectronics alone, the company itself is not very brilliant.And more critically, there are no reliable sales channels and customers for microelectronics.
