Chapter 233 It’s time to turn over the cards again
"Cooperation between us is possible, but what chips do you want to use?"
After all, business negotiations often require costs, and there is no such thing as a pie in the sky.
Although he respects this old man who has been in the business for a long time and wants to help the development of domestic enterprises, no one will give up directly when it comes to real interests.
"Then what do you want, young man?"
Qu Yuan pondered for a moment before asking.
Xu Li thought about it. In the past, he had directly acquired those companies, but those were basically in situations where they could no longer operate.
Although Baiou Company was in decline, he could tell from the old man's eyes that once he proposed the acquisition, he would probably be rejected.
"How about I make a technical investment in your company on behalf of Chongmingniao?"
Technology investment?
Qu Yuan frowned slightly, "How much does Mr. Xu want?"
"Not much, 40."
Qu Yuan shook his head, "No, this is too much. Can we take a step back to 37%?"
"38%."
"It's still too much."
"Then I will give you a thin margin, 36%, and an additional capital injection of 10 million."
Now Qu Yuan hesitated.
Baiou's operating conditions are not very good recently, especially the business orders for additional equipment for SLR cameras and related lenses have gradually dropped sharply.
On the one hand, young competitors are getting stronger and stronger, and there is also the general trend of the times. Many ordinary people have no use for digital cameras or SLR cameras. On the other hand, there are limitations in core technology, which have been monopolized by foreign countries all year round.
Although Qu Yuan wanted to break it, he had no choice but to do so.
We can only find another way, hoping to bring new success in photosensitive components, but the quality qualification rate of the product is too low. Even if it is produced, the cost is too high. It is impossible for customers to purchase it, and it will also increase Baiou's cost.
Burden.
If we can use Suiren's optical technology, it will undoubtedly be a great progress.
After two minutes of silence, Qu Yuan nodded lightly.
"Okay, I agree, but I hope Mr. Xu will not destroy the original color of the white gull."
"Of course!" Xu Li smiled.
Three days later
Slender Fox.com posted a brief news: "Chongmingniao Company and Modou Baiou Camera Co., Ltd. have joined forces, and Chongmingniao will invest 36% of the technology shares in Modou Baiou."
This news was quickly drowned out by news about other celebrities and major international events, and not many people noticed it.
However, Chongmingniao Company began to send people to Shanghai to negotiate the transfer of shares, and to appoint Baiou Company as a director.
Xu Hua, who originally stayed at Chongming Bird Company, was temporarily sent to Magic City by Xu Li to inspect the situation of Baiou Company. Only then can the relevant design and R&D cooperation plans be adjusted and launch products or services that satisfy the public.
On the other side, inside the office of Suiren Technology
Since the company's super memory, financial system software, and subsidiary technologies or products became popular in the market, the parent company has received a steady stream of small sums of money.
As of mid-April this year, the revenue in the first quarter had reached 3.5 billion US dollars, and the net profit was as high as 2.023 billion US dollars, which is about 15 billion when converted into soft sister coins.
Moreover, Suiren Company has only been around for less than a year, and it has already made great technological breakthroughs in several fields, especially in high-tech core component manufacturing and technology, which accounts for the bulk of profits.
Such as the extreme ultraviolet light source of lithography machine, cryo-electron microscope, compound eye lens, anti-cancer drugs, mosquito repellent, memory, compression technology, financial office system software services and environmental sanitation business, these eight major revenue sources are enough to keep Suiren full for several years.
Yes.
However, in addition to paying salaries and benefits to employees, these revenue sources also need to pay taxes, deduct these, and invest part of them into the education and technology research and development of Suiren College.
Also, a lot of money was spent on the previous construction of the new school headquarters. Basically, no less than 5 billion was invested. Although this money was earned quickly, it was also spent quickly.
At present, we need to explore new profit growth points, otherwise there will be no money for various subsequent operations, and there will be nothing we can do.
This can be done in two ways. Either we can start from the existing technology, find partners to cooperate, and jointly promote products, such as Baiou Company launching high-performance camera lens components or SLR cameras, or we can only develop new technologies and new products. Otherwise, we can only wait for time to pass and let the existing business accumulate more funds, but time waits for no one.
Especially in chip manufacturing, he has the idea of taking the next step in technological research, but if this thing costs 15 billion, it will probably come out in a flash.
Because chip manufacturing involves not only photolithography machines, but also photoresists, photomasks, etc.
It is not that simple to achieve complete localization.
Although Suiren Technology has now become an important supplier of extreme ultraviolet light sources for domestic lithography machines, and has also manufactured 14-nanometer EUV lithography machines in China, there is still a technical gap with Western 5-nanometer EUV lithography machines.
Moreover, Westerners are also very smart. Will they stop technology research and development if you make technological breakthroughs?
It is said that people are already conquering 3 nanometer technology, but now the gap will be even bigger.
Xu Li still has a sense of crisis in his heart.
Not only in terms of photolithography machines, but also in medicine. Even though Xu Li has made certain contributions and breakthroughs in domestically produced anti-cancer drugs, he only targeted the field of tumor diseases.
There are other rare disease drugs, cardiovascular drugs, and life-saving drugs in the world where the right to speak is still in the hands of those international capital giants.
That's why Xu Li wanted to invest in multiple lines in such a hurry.
"Which one should we focus on next?"
Xu Li is also a little worried. He will not be involved in other industries for the time being. He can only delve into the industries currently owned by Suiren Technology and its related fields.
Only by focusing on enhancing the foundation of this industry or field can we further enhance our influence and achieve the growth of the civilization index. Then we can obtain more black technologies from the science and technology library.
Thinking of this, it seems that he has not been in the library for a while.
"Forget it, let's go take a look first. Maybe we can find some good stuff."
Xu Li established a connection with the library in his heart, and the room suddenly became dark and dark, as if the space was dislocated. Xu Li disappeared on the spot in some kind of "fuzzy fluctuation".
When he came to his senses, Xiaobai had already appeared in front of him.
"Welcome, Mr. Curator!"
Although Xiaobai will help him deal with some things outside, her job is to be a librarian. Once Xu Li enters the library and has some kind of need, she will use some kind of quantum method no matter where she is outside.
Form transfer returns.
"Well, Xiaobai, is there a book of technology that I can unlock now?"
"Then what is your comprehensive technology index?"
"Well, G5-9800."
The comprehensive science and technology index is divided into seven levels according to its initials A~G. The seven levels represent seven levels of civilization. G is the lowest level of civilization and is rated as the first-level civilization level by the universe.
The first number after "G" represents the number of fields in which its civilization's influence has made achievements, and the larger the number after that, the better, which represents the higher the civilization's comprehensive influence and progress.
If the symbol "∞" appears after a number, it means that there are already many fields whose influence on civilization and future progress are unparalleled and cannot be expressed by numbers.
But at present, Xu Li's achievements have not reached that level, so he needs to make progress in this direction.
We can only choose one direction for deep cultivation, that is, the development of research and development in the semiconductor or biological fields, and then transform it into organic impact, thereby achieving effective technological transformation and comprehensively improving the comprehensive technological index.
"I have checked your index status. Currently, your index impact is mainly reflected in biology, medicine, semiconductors, environmental health, and the Internet. Great progress has been made, but there are still some shortcomings. Please keep up the good work!
At present, the permissions you can unlock are F type and G type civilization technology, but you can only choose three technologies at a time, no more than three. Among the three technologies, you can only choose two as F type civilization technology, and the remaining one
It can only be G-class civilization technology."
After hearing Xiaobai's explanation, Xu Li also frowned.
Can I only choose two Category F ones?
He thought he could have them all?
It seems there are more restrictions this time.
But if this is the case, how should we choose?
Among them, semiconductor technology is definitely required, but which one should I choose for the other one?
He has a bit of difficulty choosing.
"Forget it, let's just choose creatures."
After all, biology is also related to medicine, and it may be possible to develop derivative medical products.
Moreover, Xu Li plans to focus on biotechnology and semiconductors as the next development of the Suiren industry, and will not involve other matters for the time being.
After making the decision, Xu Li said to Xiaobai.
"Then I will choose an F-type semiconductor, an F-type creature, and the last one will be a G-type creature!"
"Okay, the library is randomly searching for you, please wait!"
Xiaobai randomly entered the search mode, and soon randomly selected three technologies for Xu Li.
Xu Li feels that this is a bit like a lottery.
But it doesn’t matter, whatever you draw is what you draw.
