Chapter 204 The trip to the Netherlands
After staying in New York for 7 days, Chen Yu flew to the Netherlands, where there were talents in lithography equipment introduced by the headhunter, and he might also buy lithography machines from ASML in the Netherlands.
On the plane, Ng Junhui couldn't help but say, "Are you too much? You won't let go of a 16-year-old girl?"
Chen Yu said: "They are open to Westerners. It's probably not the first time half of the 16-year-old girls have been studying. You should understand this after staying there."
Ng Junhui said: "It's the first time that girl, and she's a good girl, she's been fooled by you."
Chen Yu said proudly: "That's not, it's so delicious!"
Ng Junhui said: "It seems that you care a lot about that film. Have you ever despised me in your heart!"
Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "What do I despise you for? I am not a good bird in this regard. What qualifications do you have to despise you! Why do you want to do so much? Just follow me in this life. In another 5 years, I will reward you with dragon son and dragon girl. I don't know how many women are happier than many women!"
Chen Yu thought Ng would refute him, but he didn't expect Ng to lean on Chen Yu and his face was actually immersed in the imagination of happiness.

Chen Yu's trip to the Netherlands was mainly to assist Sunny's executives, who wanted to propose to purchase some mid- and low-end lithography machines from Dutch lithography machine ASML, and Tantan. Is it possible to order one or two high-end lithography machines? Even if it's time to queue for one or two years, there is no problem.
Of course, the most important thing is to explore some talents in semiconductor equipment. When it comes to semiconductor equipment, we have to mention ASML in the Netherlands, which is the world's leading company for high-end lithography machines; when it comes to automotive semiconductors, almost everyone knows that NXP, as the supplier with the largest market share in this field, has a very large influence; if you want to purchase the most advanced medical electronic equipment, Philips in the Netherlands is a good choice... There are also many well-known semiconductor companies such as chip manufacturer Anshi Semiconductor. The semiconductor industry in the Netherlands is very complete. In addition to the above companies, there are also a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in semiconductor design, testing and simulation, and application fields such as MEMS, optoelectronics. They are almost all involved in the upstream, midstream and downstream, which makes people amazed the development of the Netherlands' semiconductor industry.
So for this plan, Dongling Technology Investment and Guanghui International Headhunter have been preparing for a month in the Netherlands. Chen Yu received news that about 100 senior engineers were left behind.
As soon as he got off the plane, Zeng Yidan led the convoy to pick up Chen Yu. Chen Yu took the initiative to ask: "How are you talking to ASML?"
Zeng Yidan said: "It's not very ideal. Both mid- and low-end lithography machines need to be queued up, and it will take one or two years. As for high-end EUV lithography machines, it completely rejects us."
Chen Yu said: "Help me ask the management of the highest position you can contact, I'll test it. After going back, I'll talk to Nikon and Canon in Japan immediately. They can also produce high-end lithography machines. They also cooperate with headhunting companies to get some talents from Japan."
Zeng Yidan said: "Well, let's prepare immediately, Mr. Chen, when will the 100 semiconductor equipment engineers meet?"
Chen Yu said: "Let's start the appointment tonight, as soon as possible!"
............
In order to have sufficient R&D expenses and a stable customer market, ASML adopted a "interest bundling" cooperation model.
If TSMC, Samsung and Intel want to acquire lithography machines, they have to buy shares in ASML. So, in 2012, Intel, Samsung and TSMC invested 3.85 billion euros in ASML, holding a total of 23% of ASML.
Chen Yu planned to invest in research and development with his own lithography machine company, and also proposed to Nikon and Canon to cooperate with domestic peers. Anyway, his money was blown by the strong wind, so it would not hurt your heart.
The top lithography machines of Dutch ASML Company were not developed separately in the Netherlands. They have the most perfect supply chain in the world and are formed by combining the most advanced technologies of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.
Of course, Chen Yu was not discouraged. It was better to have it than not. Start from the middle and low end first, and one day it will surpass world-class semiconductor equipment companies.
............
When he came to Europe, how could Chen Yu not call his European agent? Anne Keer and Nicole had already arrived at the hotel. Chen Yu was not polite, and with his secretary, he had an ancient ceremony with the three of them.
Chen Yu couldn't help but exclaim: "Nicole, you have a strong figure. If my agent wasn't full, I would have to give you one. That's it. Annie, you give Nicole 10 million euros a year to live in. If you perform well in the future, you'll add it."
When Nicole heard this, she immediately dragged her tired body and threw herself into Chen Yu's arms, demanding another fight!
In the next two days, Chen Yu would hold a banquet every night to entertain engineers in the Dutch semiconductor equipment industry, proposing salary and benefits, so that these people could not refuse. Think about what kind of reason they would refuse if they had worked for three years a year.
On the third day, the Dutch ASML company finally agreed to meet Chen Yu and his party, and they were with their president Asmay.
The president who can directly contact them was Chen Yu who gave Zeng Yidan an idea to let Zeng Yidan dialect Dongling Investment and Huanyu Investment, which have been shining in the financial market recently.
Dongling and Huanyu have recently been reported by major media around the world. The emerging capital giants and financial companies with assets of hundreds of billions have been established less than two years ago and have caused topics around the world.
When he came to the reception room of ASML Company in the Netherlands, Chen Yu's identity was also raised to the vice president of Dongling Investment, under Zeng Yidan, which would help him have some say.
After the two sides sat down and introduced each other, President Ames took the lead and said: "At first, I heard that a Chinese company needed to purchase our company's lithography machine. I thought it was just an ordinary emerging semiconductor company! It turned out that it was a subsidiary of Dongling and Huanyu that was recently brilliant in oil and gold futures."
Chen Yu joked: "It turns out that the famous lithography machine giant company also depends on the popularity of the client company. Shouldn't those who do business be treated equally?"
"Our company's lithography machines are preferred for shareholders and long-term cooperation partners, and the product is in short supply, so many long-term partners can only wait in line. It's not that we don't want to sell them to you, but that our output cannot keep up."
Chen Yu didn't say anything else and handed over the next task to Zeng Yidan for negotiation. While using his superpowers to influence the thoughts of everyone on the other side, of course, this effect is not absolute. For example, the most advanced lithography machine, even if the other party wants to sell it to himself, he must consider the ban from the US imperial examination and the government's permission.
If the Dutch ASML company did not use parts from the United States, then they were not afraid of the United States. However, the parts of the United States occupy a very important position in their products, so if they want to sell Sunny's products, they will definitely consider the consequences.
Superpowers are not omnipotent, they can only serve as some auxiliary functions.
In the end, Amaz asked someone to take Chen Yu and his party to visit the company. He needed to discuss it with the company's management. Of course, it was not about discussing high-end lithography machines, but some mid- and low-end lithography machines.
Chen Yu didn't care. This time he came here just to establish a cooperative relationship. He would talk about it if he had the chance to have a high-end lithography machine in the future.
In fact, mid- and low-end lithography machines can actually be purchased in Japan, and they can definitely be purchased, but it is good to buy them in the Netherlands, so there are no more things to do.
The reason why Chen Yu had to cooperate with Dutch ASML was that he wanted to get a familiar face first and wait for the opportunity to get a high-end lithography machine.
