Su Yehao probably knew what a fat tiger looked like, but it was difficult to draw it on paper. After several attempts, he always felt that something was wrong and the shape was not cute enough.
It was rare for Vera to be a teacher today, but it was a pity that Su Yehao made an appointment with Zhang Rujing to discuss business and left by car at around one o'clock in the afternoon.
She only said that she would try it first and then discuss modifications...
Take the bus all the way and go to Qianxin International first.
Zhang Rujing should have been taking a lunch break before. When Su Yehao saw him, the sleep marks on his face were still there.
At this moment, Su Yehao found a chair and sat down, jokingly saying:
"For such a big boss, the office conditions seem to be very difficult. Do you want to lie down at your desk and take a nap? At least you should open up the next door and put a bed and bathtub inside."
Zhang Rujing immediately replied:
"Let's avoid it. The company girl is too beautiful. I'm afraid your sister-in-law will misunderstand her and think about having a bed in the office all day long. Although it is more comfortable to rest, it is also easy to make mistakes. When you reach middle age, you can't stand the trouble.
The office next door belongs to Vice President He. Even if I want to get through, I have to have his permission. I feel sleepy in the sun in the winter. I slept for more than an hour. Mr. Su, why are you free to come over today?"
Good use of play words.
Every time Su Yehao comes here, he mostly just walks around and rarely gets involved in specific work.
However, he was more stubborn today and said:
"Isn't this a breakthrough from Dr. Lin? I want to see if there is anything I can help with. I was always worried about insufficient orders before. When ASML's immersion lithography machine is officially mass-produced, I estimate that there will be more orders than I can handle."
I’d like to ask you to take more trouble.”
"I've heard the news, and I'm afraid that someone around me will be bribed, so I haven't made it public yet. Anyway, the land and factory buildings are ready, and it will take a long time to assemble and debug the machines. Don't worry for a while, I plan to wait until
We’ll start preparing again after the new year.”
Zhang Rujing usually travels between Gangcheng and Pengcheng, and sees Su Yehao more often.
We have become familiar with each other over time, and now we don't even bother to be polite when we meet, asking someone to help me pour a cup of tea or something like that.
He looked at Su Yehao, with a smile in his tone, and continued: "As soon as your technology breaks through, other colleagues will have a headache. If the company on the island wants to buy ASML's lithography machine, will you sell it then?"
"It's for sale, but the initial production capacity is really limited. I'm afraid we have to make them wait. The same goes for South Korea and Singapore. We will give priority to ourselves and a group of partners in the United States."
"...I know that you, Mr. Su, are not so stupid that you have not heard the story of the farmer and the snake. Besides us, it is right to give priority to American companies. This will help our security, and American companies produce
The cost is relatively high, and the price advantage here can still be maintained. It is also very cunning to not ban sales to other competitors, so as not to imitate you and spend money later, forcing peers to flirt with Nikon and Canon.
If you really smash the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine out, it will cause a headache."
Zhang Rujing is very knowledgeable about technology and is also a managerial talent. Qianxin International and Gangcheng Microelectronics are all led by him. How can we not see Su Yehao's plan?
Su Yehao never thought of hiding it from him, but after hearing this he sounded cheerful:
"I have spent so much money on research and development. Counting the expenses of acquiring and financing ASML shares, more than one billion US dollars have been invested. I have finally created a favorable situation. It is impossible to fully support my competitors. Who will tell me then?
If we extend an olive branch, I will give priority to whoever I supply to. Brother Zhang, will you avenge your old grudge this time?"
This refers to the incident where a certain Taiwan Power Company forcibly confiscated all of Zhang Rujing’s bonus equity in order to prevent him from changing jobs.
Before coming to work for Su Yehao, Zhang Rujing was very unhappy with his colleagues on the island for a while. Later, Qianxin International and Gangcheng Microelectronics were also suppressed by the island's companies for a long time in an attempt to kill these two companies.
In the cradle.
For example, in the cooperation with Canon lithography machines, the other party just broke up with Dr. Lin Baojian's team in the first half of the year. A few days later, a certain Taiwan Power Company announced the purchase of thirty 157-nanometer Canon lithography machines.
There may be some story here, but Su Yehao is too lazy to bother to investigate. Anyway, there has always been competition and no cooperation between him and a certain Taiwan Power Company.
In the past, the other party took the initiative. When the new technology was confirmed to be feasible, it would be Su Yehao's turn to laugh. By controlling the supply of lithography machines, he could easily manipulate the other party.
The problem is that the speed of technological upgrading is too fast, and extreme ultraviolet lithography machines are indeed feasible.
Therefore, Su Yehao just wants to maintain his own advantages and does not intend to push his competitors to the dead end to avoid the emergence of other uncontrollable new players on the research and development track of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. This is for long-term interests.
If they were sure they could buy ASML machines, they wouldn't risk losing billions of dollars in research and development funds to take advantage of an opportunity full of uncertainty.
Just thinking about going back for revenge made Zhang Rujing feel quite satisfied. He smiled and waved his hand and said:
"ASML is controlled by you now. It must maintain its independent status. It only takes a few months to suppress Taipower's orders. The time difference created is enough for us to turn things around and defeat them through normal competition between foundries. The more this happens,
At this time, Mr. Su, you have to be more careful, as the United States will not allow these key core technologies to be in your hands."
"I understand. I have already considered it before. Otherwise, if I keep all the immersion lithography machines for my own use, wouldn't it mean that I would directly monopolize the entire market?"
Su Yehao crossed his legs and added in a calm tone:
"To completely eat such a big market, I'm worried that I will choke to death on the water. I have to divide the cake. Just keep a good balance. You don't have to worry too much about anything else. I have some friends in Washington."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rujing immediately realized that he was worrying too much and laughed: "That's right. Now that you've become like you, who doesn't want to make friends with you? Unfortunately, I was worried that you were young and energetic, and only thought about competition.
All opponents will be killed."
"That's not true, but since we have the strength, it's not too much to share a slightly larger piece of the cake, right? With breakthroughs in chip technology, the performance of various products can take a big step forward, and many conceptual devices also have
When the opportunity comes true, you don’t have to worry about placing orders. You can eat as much as you want then.”
Su Yehao changed the topic and said:
"In two or three years, Hong Kong City Microelectronics is expected to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The equity reward promised to you will not be less. Also, I built some beautiful buildings to the west of Kai Tak Cyberport.
If you have time, go check out the villa and pick one if you like it."
Zhang Rujing said with a smile on his face:
"Are you afraid that I'll run away? It's not like, given the current situation, it's a time when grades are easy to get, and you won't even chase me away. Speaking of your villa, will you let me live in it or just give it to me?"
"I'll let you live first. After three years of service, I'll give it to you directly. The market price is HKD 60 million at least. Is that kind of you?"
"That's absolutely nothing to say. I'm just sorry that Mr. Su was born too late. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make a living at Texas Instruments after working hard for twenty years. Don't announce the name of the house in advance. I'm afraid someone will put a sack in it. How many people will be there then?"
