Chapter 72

After hearing NPX's reply, Lu Chen almost laughed angrily.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the other party is still thinking about his company's shares.

How about saying they are greedy?Is it better to be stupid?
Shaking his head silently.

Lu Chen no longer cared about NPX, and turned to Xiao Shouyi, "Isn't TSMC going to sign a strategic partnership with us? Promise them!"

"But Mr. Lu, don't you want to invest in NPX?"

Xiao Shouyi was a little puzzled. In addition to being the first-generation IC chip factory, TSMC was also one of the most powerful contenders for automotive chips. Signing a strategic cooperation with the other party would not be a stumbling block for him?

"I mean, let the wind out first!"

Lu Chen felt that Xiao Shouyi was a bit too pedantic, and he didn't have Qin Ruolan's cleverness at all.

Hearing this, Xiao Shouyi reacted no matter how dull he was.

It is not really to sign a strategic contract with TSMC, but to scare them with TSMC.

At the same time, it also scares other chipmakers who are hesitant.

TSMC is the largest giant in the chip manufacturing industry, with a market value of more than 5000 billion U.S. dollars and one of the top ten listed companies in the world.

Then sign a strategic cooperation with Chensheng Technology, a manufacturer that is about to monopolize semiconductor silicon, will other chip manufacturers still survive?
As long as Loongson Semiconductor releases this news, Lu Chen can guarantee that within a day, Loongson Semiconductor's threshold will be broken by global chip manufacturers, including the current leader in automotive chips NPX.

Netherlands.

NPX headquarters.

Sure enough, after Godson Semiconductor released the news that it would consider signing a strategic cooperation agreement with TSMC, it almost frightened the shareholders of NPX.

What do you mean?
Won't you play with us?

If Loongson Semiconductor really becomes the sole supplier of TSMC, then these chip manufacturers can only use second-rate large silicon wafers.

what does this mean?
In the chip manufacturing industry, all of them will be eliminated by the market.

The future structure of the semiconductor industry even became clear all of a sudden. The leading manufacturer of large silicon wafers - Loongson Semiconductor, the leading chip designer Qualcomm, Intel, etc., and the leading chip manufacturer - TSMC.

And what about their NPX?

This is not impossible.

As the largest chip manufacturer in the world, TSMC has already mastered the most advanced chip manufacturing technology, and now it has a large silicon chip that is three orders of magnitude ahead of others.
In the future, it will set foot in the chip design industry, and it may become a super giant across the entire semiconductor industry chain!
Just thinking about it makes NPX shareholders feel their hearts tremble.

Of course, they are not fools. They know that Chensheng Technology is doing this, and it is more likely to scare them.

But what if?
What if the head of Chensheng Technology got hotheaded and did it regardless?

Mom!
Thinking of this, how could they care about coveting the shares of Chensheng Technology.

Let's keep the market value of NPX first.

"Tell Chensheng Technology, we agree to the other party's request for a shareholding!"

This time, all the shareholders present were silent, and no one stood up to object.

I can't afford it, stop playing!
Originally, everyone was thinking about whether they could take advantage of it, but Lu Chen turned the table directly.

Forget it, for a company like Chensheng Technology, it's better to be one of your own and feel at ease.

Don't say it, thinking about it this way, the shareholders present feel a lot more at ease in an instant.

The one who is about to monopolize the large silicon wafer material market is the company's major shareholder, and the company's largest customer is also its major shareholder.

In addition, Chensheng Technology has a veto power over NPX.

Thinking about it this way, the influence of Chensheng Technology on NPX seems to be a little scary.

Upstream and downstream are all shadows of each other, plus a veto power over the company.

In other words, Chensheng Technology can determine the life and death of this company even more than the largest shareholder of NPX.

Thinking of this, everyone's mood suddenly became heavy.

The Wall Street consortium's shareholding in NPX has reached 34.7%, but this is the combined shareholding ratio of several consortiums.

Counting it alone, only the Morgan consortium can exceed the proportion of Chensheng Technology's upcoming shareholding.

"Since everyone agrees that Chensheng Technology will invest in NPX, then regarding the issue of share sales, we will reduce the shareholding ratio year-on-year according to their respective shareholding ratios. What do you think?"

"I have no objection." The representative of the Morgan consortium raised his hand.

"I have no objection either!" The representative of the Nordic Consortium raised his hand.

"No comment." The representative of the DuPont consortium raised his hand.

"."

Soon, the decision of Chensheng Technology to invest in NPX was unanimously passed by the board of directors.

Apparently, these shareholder representatives have all communicated with the big shots behind it.

Their decision is also the decision of the consortia behind them.

So far, with the help of its dominance in the large silicon wafer industry, Chensheng Technology has truly gained a foothold in the semiconductor industry.

In the future, no chip manufacturing company can hold the neck of Chensheng Technology on the issue of chips, unless the chips they make do not use semiconductor silicon.

"You said that NPX agreed with you to become a shareholder of their company and gave you a veto right?"

When Qin Ruolan heard the news, she almost lost her grip on the phone.

That is NPX, the world's largest manufacturer of automotive chips.

To give up the position of a core shareholder in this way?

As we all know, shareholders who hold a veto right and shareholders who do not have a veto right are basically two concepts.

The reason why angel investment sucks blood and marrow is because angel investment usually holds a veto power of the company while investing in the shares, and the founder is kicked out in the end, which is often related to this veto power.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen actually got a veto from NPX.

Coupled with the layout of Chensheng Technology in the upstream and downstream of NPX, it is not too much to say that NPX has almost become a puppet of Chensheng Technology.

It is foreseeable that Chensheng Technology will become the most influential shareholder of NPX.

"Correct!"

Lu Chen laughed, "According to the current market value of NPX, we have to pay 35.6 billion US dollars for this."

"US$35.6 billion," Qin Ruolan muttered, "Which part of the funds are you going to use?"

"Of course it's Chensheng Technology's funds."

Lu Chen said resolutely, "Don't touch any money from the family trust fund for the time being, and keep it well hidden."

"Do not worry!"

Qin Ruolan frowned slightly. For some reason, she felt that Lu Chen valued the funds in the family trust fund more than Chen Sheng Technology.

"Okay, how long will it take you to come back?"

After talking about the business, Lu Chen became concerned about Qin Ruolan's itinerary.

"I'll probably be back early next month."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Hearing this, Qin Ruolan felt a little warm in her heart, she gave a soft "hmm", and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone.

Lu Chen only felt elated.

After several months of busy work, the cloud over Chensheng Technology was finally removed.

However, before he could catch his breath, another old acquaintance came to the door.
