The rebirth of the Hong Kong Island chaebol, starting with a short-selling Eagle Sauce

2001 8 Month 30 Day.

Smit was so excited that he wanted to take off his clothes and run twice on the street.

But in order to vent his frustration, he immediately conveyed the good news to ASML's shareholders.

"What, the development was successful. The wavelength of the f2 laser can be stably reached 157 nanometers?"

Although it only increases the wavelength by 25%, it is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for deep ultraviolet light of 193 nanometers!

Klumbauer felt light and airy all over. Such a big breakthrough will undoubtedly be a good medicine for ASML's stock price.

It was a timely blessing for Klumbauer.

He never expected that technology and Internet stocks would fall for more than a year. Every time they fell sharply, all he could do was to further cover his position.

He poured all the 20 billion euros borrowed from Akhben into the financial market.

In recent months, he has found it difficult to repay his loans.

As ASML's largest individual shareholder, he almost cried when he heard the good news.

I have never been as happy as I am today since I invested in ASML.

Perhaps only fellow ASML shareholders can understand his mood at this time.

"Smit, issue a press conference immediately. We want to make this good news public."

Smit has no reason to refuse. He has been waiting for this day for a long time. He wants Cayman Capital, which gave up on him, to see who is the winner with the last laugh.

In the past two years, the media has been touting Cayman Capital as a wiser choice to sell ASML.

Although he knew that it was the media that did not take it too seriously and was hyping up the topic, he was still very unconvinced.

He wants people all over the world to know that ASML led by him, Smit, is not a parallel import.

It was Robert who was short-sighted. Selling ASML was the most unwise investment decision he had ever made in his life.

With this idea in mind, he organized a huge press conference.

Even Robert received an invitation to attend.

"Boss, do you think I should go or not?"

From Robert's point of view, if he stuck his face out even though he knew it was humiliation, he might not have a masochistic tendency.

"Go, of course you are going, but you are going to cause trouble!"

"Why do you say that?"

Robert was very puzzled. He wanted to cause trouble, but he couldn't find any faults in the other party, unless...

Sure enough, I heard Wang Leifeng say calmly:

"Engineer Lin from Peninsula Technology has long developed the immersion type. Through the refraction of water, the 193-nanometer deep ultraviolet light can be turned into 134-nanometer light."

It is shorter than the 2nm of f157 laser, and does not require much modification to the original machine. It is low investment and high output.

"Originally, we planned to announce the new generation of immersive lithography machine to the public after it was put into production. Unexpectedly, Smit had to jump out and seek death."

"Don't worry, go to the meeting. I guarantee that Smit will cry on the spot."

Thinking of this, he immediately called several semiconductor manufacturers in Sakura Country, as well as Samsung and Daewoo Group in Han Country.

Li Jianxi, who received the call, complained:

"You also know how to call me and tell me when you will bring Duoyu back to visit me?"

"Father-in-law, I have too many things to do, and Duoyu is also busy with his studies. I am contacting you this time to tell you good news."

Li Jianxi is still sulking. Although he has a grandson named Zhihao, he still loves his grandson.

"What good news? Fuzhen is here again?"

"Khan, no, Peninsula Technology has made a major breakthrough in the light source, which can refract the light source into 134 nanometer light!"

Hearing this, Li Jianxi was also overjoyed and said three good things in a row.

Now they are the most loyal allies of the Wang family. It can be said that both prosper and suffer losses, especially Samsung Electronics' semiconductor business, which is particularly dependent on Peninsula's lithography machine technology.

If Peninsula develops a higher-tech lithography machine first, Samsung Electronics will be the biggest beneficiary.

After hanging up the phone, Li Jianxi's face burst into laughter and he kept shouting: "Hello"

"Okay, okay, I made the right bet. Marrying with the Wang family is my wisest decision."

Li Zairong outside the office didn't know what Li Jianxi was happy about, so he opened the door and walked into the president's office with disdain.

"Dad, why are you so happy?"

"Peninsula Technology has made a major breakthrough in light sources. You and I rushed to Hong Kong City overnight to attend their press conference!"

Li Zairong's heart skipped a beat, and he said in surprise:

"By such a coincidence, I received an invitation from ASML. President Smit said that they have also made a major breakthrough in light sources."

Li Jianxi knew that Li Zairong had always been unhappy with Wang Lei, so he asked:

"Then what do you mean?"

Li Zairong was a little disdainful of Peninsula Technology. What kind of technological breakthrough could a small company in a port city (unlisted) have? He expressed his scheming:

"Dad, we can't offend either of us. How about you rush to the port city, and I'll fly to Asmer, and we bet on both sides. This is the long-term plan for the development of the family."

When he said this, Li Jianxi nodded with satisfaction and felt that his son was very considerate:

"You're right, we can't offend both sides, and we can't put our eggs in one basket."

But he didn't say a word. He preferred that his son go to Hong Kong City to attend the Peninsula press conference. If he could get closer to Wang Lei in Rong, he could consider retirement.

He knew that Li Zairong had his own ideas, and he couldn't force this kind of thing.

The semiconductor manufacturer from Sakura Country almost cried with joy after receiving the invitation.

Their decline was too fast. In the 80s, Sakura Country accounted for 6 of the top ten semiconductor manufacturers in the world in terms of revenue. NEC, Toshiba, and Hitachi have always remained in the top three.

After being sanctioned by the United States, they were surpassed by Intel, Motorola and other manufacturers in the 90s, but there are still four companies in the top ten.

But by 2000, Hitachi disappeared from the top ten list, and nec began to fall behind rapidly. Only Toshiba barely occupied the top three positions.

We know our own situation well. If there is no major breakthrough, Toshiba may not even be able to keep its third position.

Now I heard that our ally Peninsula Technology has made a major breakthrough in light sources and that a new generation of lithography machines is about to be put into production. How can they not cry with joy?

They were far more positive than Samsung and wanted to fly to Hong Kong City immediately to watch the live demonstration of Peninsula.

Jin Zhongxuan and Park Zhixuan also came to Hong Kong City one after another.

Wang Lei also invited Representative Xiao and a group of entrepreneurial bosses from Sanshi Technology.

Suddenly, the Hong Kong Peninsula Science and Technology City became very lively.

The Hong Kong government dispatched elite troops to maintain law and order.

The four richest people can't help but wonder what breakthroughs Peninsula Technology has made to create such a big battle.
