Chapter 490 Investing in nuclear power, Daosui Group refinances!
The issue of despair was not the focus of the meeting.
Senior Vice President Gu Mingzhang reported on the latest progress in negotiations with Dongzhi and said with a smile: "Recently, with the intensification of Dongzhi's financial fraud incident, the pressure on Dongzhi is unprecedented."
"Under this situation, Dongzhi even took the initiative to restart negotiations with us."
This proves that Zhang Shuo's previous decision to "let it go" was absolutely correct.
Japan is a cheap person.
"Last week, the Dream Fund invited the Vision Fund from Wolf Street to participate in the acquisition of Dongzhi's flash memory chip business, and Dongzhi's attitude became even more enthusiastic." Gu Mingzhang added with a smile.
This is the care that comes from a father's love.
"Then let's work hard and try to get the negotiations to fruition as soon as possible." Zhang Shuo is also worried about the long nights and dreams.
"yes."
Gu Mingzhang thought so, "There is a problem now. Qianbu Data has also received the news and seems to be interested in participating in the competition for Dongzhi's flash memory chip business."
"It's Akane's data again."
Zhang Shuo's eyes narrowed slightly, this was an old rival of Daosui Group.
I think back then, when Daosui Group and Dream Fund acquired Sunrise Storage, they were disrupted by Akane Data. Later, Daosui Group failed to acquire SanDisk, and there was also the active shadow of Akane Data behind it.
Now it's here again.
"But don't worry too much. In the worst case, you can increase the purchase price appropriately."
This is the greatest confidence for Germination.
This is also the biggest shortcoming of Qianbu Data. When Qianbu Data failed in the acquisition of Japan Storage, it was due to the budding financial strength.
In terms of money-making ability, I can't beat Bu Ya.
It’s funny to say that Akane Data’s own profit level is not very good, but its ambition is not small. It wants to own all the countless storage giants in the world.
They also covet Lishu Storage, they also covet SanDisk, and they want to acquire Dongzhi Flash Memory.
Typical "I want it, I want it, I want it, and I want it..."
The ultimate goal of Akane Data is to achieve dominance in the global storage field.
In the original time and space, when Bein Capital launched the acquisition of Dongzhi's flash memory business, it was also attacked by Akane Data. Dongzhi was even more inclined to be acquired by Akane Data.
But in the end, Dongzhi was lured by the price of Bein Capital.
It's very realistic.
In this life, the luxurious acquisition lineup formed by Dream Fund, Daosui Group, Changchun Storage and Vision Fund is not inferior to Bein Capital at all.
Therefore, he also has absolute confidence.
"Understood."
Gu Mingzhang smiled and nodded, what he wanted was the big boss's words.
Zhang Shuo did not criticize the situation and mentioned another thing, "Weijing Semiconductor can consider purchasing EUV lithography machines from Huaxia Microelectronics and then invest in building a 28nm wafer foundry."
Huaxia Microelectronics' first EUV lithography machine rolled off the production line, and Daosui Group must make a statement. Although Zhongxin, a subsidiary of Huaxia Microelectronics, is also a wafer foundry, it has not even made a breakthrough in the 28nm process.
Can't use it even if I want to.
As for the EUV lithography machine developed by Huaxia Microelectronics, the best way to get rid of the embarrassing situation of being popular but not popular is to obtain orders from wafer foundries.
Weijing Semiconductor is undoubtedly the most suitable.
More importantly, now, including for many years to come, 28-nanometer chips are the mainstream demand in the semiconductor industry, which does not mean that Weijing Semiconductor's tens of billions of investments have been wasted.
On the contrary, it will help consolidate Weijing Semiconductor's position in the foundry industry.
"It's okay to build a factory."
Gu Mingzhang also agreed, "Chairman, in terms of capital arrangements, should it be capital increase or financing?"
The semiconductor industry is an asset-heavy industry. For a 28-nanometer wafer foundry, even if it is supported by loans, it is conservatively estimated that Daosui Group will have to invest tens of billions of dollars.
And this is not within Daosui Group's annual plan, so it will naturally require additional financing.
Not to mention talking about it.
Daosui Group will also participate in the acquisition of Dongzhi's flash memory chip business, which will put even greater financial pressure.
"Financing."
Zhang Shuo thought for a while and said: "Take out 5% of the equity of Daosui Group to start the B-round financing, and invite Huaxia Microelectronics, Jianye Urban Investment, Luzhou Urban Investment, etc. to participate and jointly make the cake of Daosui Group bigger.
.”
With Germination's current financial strength, there is actually no pressure at all to increase capital in Daosui Group.
But when it comes to doing business, we can’t always be so independent, especially the development of Daosui Group, which cannot be separated from the strong support of all relevant parties.
Win-win cooperation is the way to go.
To put it into perspective, Daosui Group’s A-round financing still occurred at the end of September 2013. It has been one year and seven months since then, and it is almost time to start a new round of financing.
During the A round of financing, Daosui Group was valued at 250 billion, and now it is at least 600 billion.
That is to say——
Even if Daosui Group only takes out 5% of the equity, it can raise more than 30 billion in funds, which can not only be used to invest in the construction of wafer foundries, but also have the remaining energy to participate in the acquisition of Dongzhi Flash Memory.
enough!!!
"This round of financing from Daosui Group is probably a good one." Lu Kai interjected with a smile.
you do not say!
Daosui Group itself is already a world-renowned semiconductor giant. With Huaxia Microelectronics' breakthrough in EUV lithography machine technology, another major obstacle has been removed for the rise of Daosui Group.
To avoid being manipulated by overseas giants.
Coupled with the recent acquisition of Dongzhi Flash Memory, the future prospects are bright.
It is absolutely favored by global investors.
Unfortunately, according to Zhang Shuo's instructions, this round of financing from Daosui Group will be another very budding financing, open only to specific investment institutions.
Don't even think about existences like Scarlet Capital and the Thieves Group.
"When it comes to financing, I think of another thing. Last year, the group set a strategy and said that the investment sector would focus on minerals, energy, chemicals and other fields. The mining sector has been launched, and Xinghai Mining was born."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Isn't it time to make some moves in the energy sector?" Zhang Shuo looked at Lu Kai.
"Does the chairman already have a goal, or?" After working with the big boss for so long, Lu Kai can still guess a little bit of the big boss's thoughts.
"Huaxia Southern Nuclear Power Group, what do you think?" Zhang Shuo didn't give in.
He also thought of it when Huaxia Microelectronics launched EUV lithography machines. Since Germinal Group can make early plans in the field of lithography machines, there is no reason to miss the future nuclear power field.
Compared with the market share of photolithography machines, controllable nuclear fusion is the real leader.
No matter what, you should still get some light.
However, compared with EUV lithography machine technology, it is much more difficult to transform controllable nuclear fusion technology from technical data into real products.
It’s not just about having technology.
Among other things, the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion requires, in addition to breakthroughs in technology itself, breakthroughs in materials such as high-temperature resistant materials.
The latter, in turn, depends on breakthroughs in basic disciplines.
Therefore, the application of controllable nuclear fusion technology is at least ten years away.
Now it can only be regarded as an early move.
"China Southern Nuclear Group, let me see..."
Lu Kai opened the notebook he carried with him and said, "China Southern Nuclear Power was listed in Xiangjiang last year. In addition to the controlling shareholder Southern Nuclear Power Group, the main shareholders are Xiangjiang Clearing Company and an investment company in Lingnan."
"Among them, Xiangjiang Clearing Company holds 18.27% of the shares, and the investment company holds 6.79% of the shares."
"As for the market value of the Southern Nuclear Power Group, it is currently 145 billion."
"The homework is very detailed."
Zhang Shuo gave Lu Kai an appreciative look, and then asked: "Then, is it possible to take over all the shares of Nanjing Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. held by Xiangjiang Clearing Company and that investment company?"
Zhang Shuo's appetite is not small.
Because according to Zhang Shuo's speculation, after the relevant institutions obtain the controllable nuclear fusion technology, they must still be in a state of high confidentiality and are probably in the technology verification stage.
Even the Southern Nuclear Group probably has no access to relevant information.
Now is a favorable time to intervene.
"As long as we are willing to pay a high enough premium, we should be able to negotiate." Lu Kai never thought of vetoing the deal, but actively made suggestions.
An old tool man.
As for the equity of China Southern Nuclear Power Corporation, it is certainly a no-brainer that the majority of the equity held by the Southern Nuclear Power Corporation is a giant investment crocodile hidden under the water.
It will basically appear in the shareholder lists of companies listed in Hong Kong.
As for the investment company in Lingnan, since it is an investment in nature, then as long as the price offered by Germination is attractive enough, there is no reason why it cannot be acquired.
"There is no problem with high premiums. At the highest, we can accept a 50% premium." Zhang Shuo was also annoyed.
Compared with the bright prospects of nuclear power in the future, such a small premium is really not worth mentioning.
"Then I understand."
Lu Kai realized that the big boss was very determined this time, "I will make arrangements after we come down."
"good."
Zhang Shuo was naturally reassured about Lu Kai's ability to do things, and just added: "This acquisition of the equity of China Southern Nuclear Power Group will be carried out in the name of Xinghai Mining."
Zhang Shuo plans to upgrade Xinghai Mining to Xinghai Group when the time is right, with its business scope covering the three major fields of minerals, energy and chemicals.
This is not to say that these three sectors should set up three separate group subsidiaries.
That would be too bloated.
As the number of group subsidiaries under Sprout Holdings increases, in the future, when the time is right, it is possible that related subsidiaries will be merged again.
Otherwise, it won't be managed at all.
At the end of the meeting, Executive Vice President Jiang Yue briefly reported on the preparations for the "Grudge Fifth Anniversary Celebration", mainly the commemorative coins and the celebration party.
This is also a rule that Zhang Shuo has set long ago, and the sprouts will be celebrated every fifth and tenth time.
Otherwise it would be too low-key.
"This commemorative gold coin will be minted according to the standard of fifty grams." Zhang Shuo said.
“The boss is awesome!”
Jiang Yue and other senior executives couldn't help but be impressed by the big boss's aura.
At the current gold price, even for a large purchase, the cost of just one commemorative gold coin is more than twelve thousand. And today's Sprout Group has nearly half a million employees.
In other words, just to commemorate the gold coins, 6 billion coins will be spent.
How generous is this?
The budding new employees who will join the company in July this year will probably faint in the toilet after hearing the news.
I feel like I missed a hundred million.
………
After the meeting, Zhang Shuo returned to the office.
After calming down, what I was thinking about in my mind was not things related to Germination, but the stock market, which had been particularly busy recently. I was thinking, should I do something?
We can't just watch those institutions cut leeks like this.
The food looks too ugly.
Although it is said that Fenglei Fund managed by Chen Lu is also one of the big players.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo immediately contacted Chen Lu in Xiangjiang through Weixin and asked Fenglei Fund to speed up the liquidation of the stocks it held.
"It's best to make a big move. After the cleanup is completed, the information will be revealed to a tabloid."
Zhang Shuo specially warned.
"Junior, do you want to shock the stock market? The next step is to go short?" Chen Lu asked.
"The shock is real, just go short."
Zhang Shuo doesn't want to go through this muddy water again, and in terms of stock market trading level, he is far behind those professional institutions.
The only advantage lies in having the foresight.
The stock market is a place of ever-changing changes, and the most a prophet can do is to grasp the general trend, such as when the Fenglei Fund will exit the market and when it will exit.
But in specific operations, it is actually not very useful.
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Lu also knew what was going on, so she didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, most of the Fenglei Fund's portfolio has been cleared in the past two months.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What is left is some finishing touches.
Otherwise, given the size of the Fenglei Fund, if it were to be liquidated in a short period of time, it would inevitably cause a major shock, which would then arouse the vigilance of those institutions.
Therefore, Zhang Shuo would rather earn less but also seek stability.
………
Just three days later, Fenglei Fund liquidated all its stocks.
Then, on the fourth day, a Hong Kong tabloid reported on this and predicted that Fenglei Fund had sensed the risk of a stock market crash and had completed its withdrawal in advance.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately spread across the Internet.
Although it was a tabloid that broke the news, Fenglei Fund was a well-known giant in the Chinese venture capital circle. It gradually showed its prominence especially after moving its headquarters to Xiangjiang.
The actions of Fenglei Fund have undoubtedly become some kind of weather vane.
As a result, when the market opened on Friday, the stock market first saw a small rise, and then everything turned green. The major stocks fell sharply, and the market was wailing.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, it seemed that a large amount of funds had ended again, ushering in another wave of rise.
Finally ended with a slight drop!
In just one day, the Chinese stock market went on an extremely exciting roller coaster ride.
It has also become the most lively topic on the Chinese Internet.
On Saturday, when Zhang Shuo came to Tang's home as a guest, Tang Yu was the first to rush up, "Third brother, look at this situation, is the stock market going to collapse?"
"possible."
Zhang Shuo didn't say anything for sure, "Why, you haven't quit yet?"
"I quit a long time ago."
Tang Yu was even a little lucky, "It's Yanzi, Sister Ling and the others who are still in the pond."
"Especially the swallows."
"Recently I have been following the top brother in the live broadcast room to speculate in stocks. The top brother said that yesterday was just a technical adjustment in the market, and there will definitely be a big rise next week."
"Swallow listened to the advice of the big brother on the list and has already entered the market to buy the bottom."
"..."
Zhang Shuo was speechless.
But we can't say that Murong Yan is stupid. If he hadn't opened the perspective of God, he might not have been able to do better than Murong Yan. And Murong Yan was far from the only one who ended up buying the bottom yesterday.
There are many people with similar great wisdom out there.
