Chapter 841 Abandon this kind of people who don't talk about martial arts
The prototype machine, which was assembled with a huge amount of money, is undergoing stability testing.
It's hard to get results in a day or two.
However, to get to this point, there are basically no big problems. According to Dr. Lin Baojian, there are only some minor problems that need to be adjusted, which is not difficult.
After the prototype is successful, the mass production process is also very time-consuming. No matter how fast it is, official shipment will have to wait until half a year.
Su Yehao asked people to place orders in advance and sign for forty immersion lithography machines. As long as the research and development is successful, the contract will be fulfilled.
He deliberately did not stipulate liquidated damages to avoid being blamed by ASML. If it turns out that he was happy in the end, others may think that he deliberately set a trap for ASML and harmed the interests of other shareholders.
So it’s okay not to have liquidated damages or anything like that.
Anyway, the control of ASML is in the hands of Su Yehao. It is impossible to turn around and suppress Hong Kong Microelectronics and Qianxin International. It is impossible for ASML to voluntarily breach the contract.
As for the price of the immersion lithography machine, I haven’t started to consider it yet.
For wafer foundries, the cost of the wafer production line really accounts for the majority.
For example, the 12-inch wafer production line jointly developed by Gangcheng Microelectronics Group and Japanese companies has a total cost of US$2.3 billion and a monthly production capacity of approximately 17,000 wafers.
In comparison, the lithography machine itself is not that expensive. The market price of a 193-nanometer lithography machine is around US$11 million.
It is estimated that after the immersion lithography machine is put on the market, each unit will be sold for 20 to 30 million U.S. dollars, and he can continue to get mortgage loans from banks for the machine, so ordering multiple lithography machines at once is not stressful in Su Yehao's opinion. In the initial stage, he only needs
Give me a deposit.
By then, by taking over ASML's production capacity, it is estimated to be about half a year ahead of its peers.
Give them a time lag, and during this period, they can do a lot of things, and have the opportunity to compete for a batch of OEM orders, allowing Qianxin International and Gangcheng Microelectronics to truly get on the fast track.
There are not many places that need to be laid out in advance, just a little adjustment.
Su Yehao greeted Assistant Zhuang Wei and asked someone to use some funds and leverage to build a few new long positions.
There will only be more and more places to spend money in the future, and the "hard times" in the short term will still be difficult. Book wealth continues to increase, but cash on hand continues to decrease, so if you have the opportunity to make money, make more.
In the past, we just followed the market trends, but this time the super good news was caused by Su Yehao himself. Under the premise of being very confident, people like Qualcomm, AMD, and Nvidia can invest a little bit and plan for the medium and long term from the options market.
There is also the Nasdaq Index.
I started hunting for the bottom in September, and so far, I have made a profit of nearly 270 million US dollars.
Unfortunately, I was not decisive enough at that time and did not dare to take a large position. I only used 100 million U.S. dollars and ten times the leverage to test the waters with a small position of 1 billion U.S. dollars. Unexpectedly, I made a profit of more than 20% in more than two months.
Some investors are still waiting for the stock price to fall back and then enter the market to hunt for the bottom.
Su Yehao felt that the missed opportunity was like a married ex-girlfriend, a big fat duck that had fallen into the trap and it was already difficult to recover.
However, in the long-term layout of Nasdaq, the rate of return should be quite good. Just in the middle of last month, the north relaxed some restrictions on QDII funds, and several new funds of the QDII index fund type can be launched.
…
Buck-toothed Jun and the others were still playing mahjong at Su Yehao's house.
Seeing that Su Yehao finally came back from his busy work, He Shaofan complained: "Wow... I made a mistake. I thought I just answered the phone and asked us to wait. It's been almost an hour and a half. I went to Tsim Sha Tsui to buy a pork chop rice.
It won’t take that long to come back, wait! Touch!”
Su Yehao smiled and said: "There is a big business. I am going to make a fortune again. You play your mahjong. Anyway, there is no shortage of people."
Su Yehao was busy with things before, and Jiang Yu was responsible for taking over.
The buck-toothed handsome daughter-in-law didn’t know how to play mahjong, so she sat obediently watching the card game. This time she asked with interest, “Brother Hao, what kind of business is this? Even you said I made a lot of money, so it must be a lot.”
Buck-toothed Jun looked at her speechlessly, and said helplessly: "Are you having trouble with your head? You actually ask such a self-defeating question. Although we will be happy for Brother Hao after hearing this, we ourselves will suffer a lot."
God, I silently lamented how the gap between people is so big. There are too many examples like this. Zhugan and I have already had experience, and we usually don’t ask questions."
"That's right! He left us here to waste our lives while this guy secretly made money himself. If he hadn't still expected Brother Hao to make us rich, I would definitely spurn such a person who has no martial ethics to his face."
The speaker was He Shaofan.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yu said helpfully: "You still have the nerve to say that my family has found a young lady for you who is not only beautiful but also very rich. You will save decades of hard work and have buck-toothed and handsome children."
, you should also hurry up and hurry up."
"How many decades are not enough for Brother Hao to sprinkle water on me, you rich woman, please don't laugh at me."
He Shaofan's status in the family is still neither high nor low. He has been allocated more family property than a few years ago, but most of it will still be left to his brother.
No matter how much or how little, it is enough to spend anyway. Su Yehao led them to invest in Hong Kong Tourism and Biguiyuan Real Estate before, and now they still have a considerable income. They will definitely have no worries about their lives.
After listening to their chatter, Su Yehao told: "The exact amount of earnings is not clear yet. The information needs to be kept secret for the time being. You will know when you watch the news after a while. Anyway, various assets will appreciate together, and in the short term, it will be worth tens of billions of dollars."
It’s possible that it could become hundreds of billions of dollars in a few years.”
"Let me knock... is there something wrong with my ears? When will the profits of doing business be described as tens of billions of dollars?"
The buck-toothed handsome man was dumbfounded and looked at his wife silently, blaming her for talking too much and asking random questions. Now he was heartbroken.
He Shaofan took a few deep breaths and told:
"It's safe, Brother Hao, you can definitely kill the old stock god and rise to the top. There is no chance of becoming the world's richest man!"
"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah! You're such a crow's mouth, good things don't work but bad things work. What I'm most afraid of right now is that there will be problems in the research and development process, and in the end it will be all in vain."
Su Yehao feels that the probability of success of the immersion lithography machine has exceeded 98%, and the remaining two points depend on luck.
Take the 157nm lithography machines launched by Canon and Nikon, for example. They are indeed a big step forward based on 193nm. However, the stability of the machines is not good, and they often need to stop production and replace parts, resulting in increased production costs.
Fortunately, several companies on the island and in the United States placed orders first, and it was not Su Yehao's turn to purchase yet.
It is estimated that due to unpleasant events or being bought by a certain Taiwan Power Company, Canon deliberately postponed Su Yehao's order to the second half of 2004. Dr. Lin Baojian happened to have some breakthroughs on his side, and Su Yehao was not in a hurry at that time.
place an order.
Looking back, I almost fell into a trap.
If Canon and Nikon's salesmen were a little more proactive and enthusiastic, Su Yehao might pay a deposit in advance to avoid lagging behind his peers in production technology and not daring to put all their chips on ASML and Lin Baojian.
Things are changing now.
Dr. Lin Baojian's team has helped Su Yehao acquire better technology, and he feels that he has been very lucky.
From a metaphysical point of view, no matter how lucky you are, you are afraid of being poisoned.
He Shaofan's face turned dark when he heard this, and he made a few noises at Su Yehao, which was obviously a personal attack...
