Go back to 1990 to start a business

Stoke thought he had pinched Xia Chuan's Achilles' heel, but he didn't expect that even Zuo Shiyun would disdain him.

Damn, the more you look at this person, the more unpleasant you become. Who told you to sell yourself?

Xia Chuan just smiled faintly:

"I haven't finished yet. The acquisition agreement must state: In order to encourage employees to hold shares, before ASML is listed, the company's equity transfer must be approved by me, otherwise the transfer will be invalid. Your six percent equity transfer price must not exceed 800 A valuation of $[-]. Aris, do you agree?”

"Agree!" Antoinette Aris did not hesitate.

Isn’t it about life and death?We didn't want to sell it in the first place, but now that you've taken one billion, we can't even sell it.

She is really willing to start a business with a legend like Xia Chuan and is full of expectations.

Stocker was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "Does anyone believe this? With 6000 million U.S. dollars of equity, someone is willing to sell it at a valuation of 800 million?"

"Aren't you just going to sell it?" Xia Chuan asked.

Stock's cheeks turned red with anger. Damn it, you only gave me the valuation after I sold it.

But he couldn't say this, otherwise it would become the best joke in the industry. You didn't even know what they were going to do, so you hurriedly sold the shares?

That's simply grinding and spinning in circles, which is embarrassing.

Xia Chuan added lightly: "If you still want to be a professional manager, stop talking nonsense, pack your things and leave immediately."

Stoker went cold and sobered up.

That's right, if you continue to fight with Xia Chuan, you will only end up in disgrace. What is his worth?Litigation with him will only make you embarrassed.On the contrary, he left amicably and had experience as a manager of a billion-dollar company. This is capital and cannot be thrown away.

He immediately said calmly: "I'm sorry, I take back what I just said. I transferred the equity voluntarily. I will leave now. I hope you can forget everything just now."

"Of course, you are a good manager, but you don't have confidence in ASML. I don't blame you. You are not sure about anyone else. Unless a large amount of money comes in, you will have to go bankrupt." Xia Chuan said.

Stock suddenly felt much more comfortable. This was the fact. Even if Xia Chuan invested 6000 million, he was not sure. Research and development was too expensive.

But who would have thought that there would be a freak like Xia Chuan in this world, who would trust this failed team so much that he would just throw one billion in?

He said with emotion: "Thank you, you taught me the most vivid lesson. If you want to succeed, never lose confidence."

Then got up and left.

He left the company he worked for to create his own world.

Aris was so excited that he drafted the entire acquisition agreement and asked all shareholders to sign and agree. He expressed that there was [-]% no differences and strongly demanded to be supported.

Then Aris sent someone to send it for approval.

"I promise to pass. Now can we talk about the development strategy?" Aris's eyes were full of expectations.

Xia Chuan smiled: "On what basis do you guarantee passing?"

The meaning of this comparison is obvious.

Aris smiled and said: "I think you are also sure. Because the time you came here happened to be the U.S. election. In fact, as long as the United States does not obstruct it, He Lanzheng's government will not be willing to block China's technology.

A small country like ours can only survive by relying on a big country. No matter how powerful China is, it is impossible for it to attack us.On the contrary, as long as China opens its market to us, it will be enough to increase our GDP by several percentage points. "

Xia Chuan nodded and praised: "You have a good view of the overall situation. What is our market share now? What are our R&D projects?"

"In 1991, our PAS lithography machine was launched, which could significantly reduce the time required for chip production and achieved great success. The market share reached 20.00%. But there is still a big gap with Nikon and Canon.

Therefore, we are preparing to overtake in corners and develop 350nm lithography machines ahead of schedule.The only thing missing now is capital investment. Our technology accumulation is actually enough, but the money has also been spent, and the money earned is simply not enough to maintain research and development.

But now, with your financial investment and the high level of cooperation from Carl Zeiss, we are confident that we can develop a lithography machine for 350nm chips before Nikon and Canon. "

Shiyun secretly took a breath of air-conditioning. No wonder this company is about to close down.

The current chip development has only reached 1000 nanometers, but they actually skipped two generations and went directly to 350 nanometers?

Xia Chuan had another emotion in his heart. Think about it, before time travel, ASML had already developed to the 3 nanometer era, and now it has actually traveled to the 350 nanometer era?

Strictly speaking, 92 was still in the 1000nm era.

It's just three years since Intel released the 486 processor.This processor, which took four years of development and $4 million in investment, uses a one-micron process, officially announcing that chip manufacturing has entered the 3-nanometer era.

It was not until 1993, when Pentium was born, that CPUs entered the 800nm ​​era.

The girl who loves me so much dares to develop a 350nm lithography machine now. She is absolutely audacious.

Sure enough, a tailor who doesn't want to be a chef is not a good driver.

But this is not over yet, Aris continued: "We also have a longer-term research and development project, which may take a longer time. This project is the extreme violet lithography machine."

Shiyun couldn't help but asked curiously: "How long is it expected to take?"

Aris said carefully: "It has been developed for five years, and it will take at least 20 more years."

Shiyun choked for a moment, swallowed and asked, "How much money will be invested in this project in total?"

Aris smiled bitterly: "I don't know."

Instead, Xia Chuan continued: "It will take a total of 30 years and US$100 billion. There is no problem with this project."

Shiyun and Aris opened their mouths at the same time.

Shiyun is shocked by this figure. 100 billion to develop a photolithography machine?

Aris was shocked why Xia Chuan was so accurate?You actually said it was no problem?

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "But it is important for us to capture the market first. According to your plan, we will not be able to surpass it by the year 2000."

Aris's eyes widened: "What project are you going to take?"

"The 800nm ​​lithography machine is enough to surpass all opponents." Xia Chuan said.

Aris' eyes almost flew out, "Do you know Moore's Law? Intel will launch an 800nm ​​processor next year. In other words, Canon is already producing 800nm ​​lithography machines. We have no advantage at all and cannot surpass it. "

Xia Chuan said with a smile: "Aris, the cycle of Moore's Law can be shortened. What we have to do is to shorten this cycle. If we can't do this, promoting the development of science and technology will be a joke. What's the point of my involvement in the chip industry?" ?”

Aris still looks confused. You can't surpass it, so how can you shorten it?

Shiyun also widened her eyes. She really couldn't understand how Xia Chuan came to know about the chip industry.Is this something that IQ can solve?
