411 Leave a way out

"Academician Lu, I think this company is very dynamic. Although it is still lagging behind in some aspects, I believe that with the passage of time, they will definitely develop and grow."

Hu Yang guessed that Zhang Xiao might have called Lu Yiming, but he didn't say much and waited for the other party to get to the point.

Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Lu Yiming said: "Mr. Hu, Microelectronics Equipment is a young company, and I also think they have great potential for development. I heard that this company is about to undergo a joint-stock restructuring. I wonder if you have any

interest?"

In fact, there are still ways to raise funds for companies like microelectronic equipment. But what the company currently needs is not financial investment, but strategic investment that can help the company's development.

Hu Yang's Huijia Group has chip design, chip manufacturing and other companies. Let's not say whether Xentong International and Charming Semiconductor will become customers of microelectronic equipment in the future. They can only provide some experience in using high-end lithography machines in the production process.

, can bring unlimited benefits to the company's research and development.

In fact, internationally, chip manufacturers and chip equipment manufacturers are also inseparable. For example, amsl's latest extreme violet lithography machine project was jointly funded and developed by Samsung, Taipower, Intel and other companies and amsl.

Regarding this point, Populus euphratica has a clear understanding.

"Academician Lu, I need to think about this matter carefully. Well, I will return to the deep sea soon. After I return, I will discuss it with the relevant personnel and I will be able to give you a definite answer soon."

Although Hu Yang does not object to taking a stake in a microelectronic equipment company, he does not need to personally participate in the negotiations. In just a few days, the decision-making committee will hold a regular meeting, and he plans to raise this matter at the meeting and let everyone put forward their opinions.

"Okay, then I would like to thank you on behalf of Director Zhang. Mr. Hu, if it is within your means, I still hope that you will support domestic equipment more."

After Lu Yiming finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Hu Yang secretly thought to himself that this investment was undoubtedly uneconomical from a commercial perspective. High-end photolithography machines can be called the crown of modern industry, but it is not that simple to win it.

Huge R&D expenses and endurance of losses year after year do require very strong resilience.

Hu Yang walked around Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. and got a preliminary intuitive understanding of the company. Although this company is young, it is full of vigor and vitality.

Moreover, the company's development ideas are also on the right track. On the one hand, it focuses on the research and development of high-end front-end lithography machines and strives to catch up with the 20-year technology gap. On the other hand, it begins to actively enter into mid-range packaging and testing lithography machines and some low-end

Lithography machine field.

The technical difficulty of mid- to low-end lithography machines is not that great. The company already has its own products and is beginning to gradually enter the market.

This part of mid-to-low-end products can bring some profits to the company, which is the support for the company to continue going forward.

Thinking of this, Hu Yang had the idea of ​​taking a stake in Modu Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd., but he still wanted to hear the opinions of Xu Younian and others.

Two days later, Populus euphratica left Magic City and took the opportunity to return to the deep sea.

The first thing he did after returning to the deep sea was that Populus euphratica convened this regular meeting of the decision-making committee.

"Mr. Hu, everyone, let me talk first. The reorganization of Xijiang Xueling Dairy Co., Ltd. has been completed, and all management and technical personnel at all levels of the company have been put in place. The company has currently established three large-scale milk source bases in the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, and has

Thirty thousand dairy farmers signed purchase agreements.

Recently, the management of Xueling Dairy suggested that the company should speed up its deployment in the domestic market. I personally think their suggestions are a bit radical, and I would like to hear your opinions."

Xueling Dairy has sufficient funds and the company is developing rapidly, so the ambitions of the management are also expanding.

Xu Younian feels that the company has only a short time to enter the dairy industry, so it is not appropriate to expand blindly for the time being.

Yan Hanzhang and Xia Bing looked at each other. They never understood why their boss chose to pursue this project.

To be honest, except for Xu Younian, everyone else is very unfamiliar with the dairy industry.

Wan Qingshan and Mu Shaoqing did not attend the meeting today. The two of them had already left to take over Hyundai's TFT-LCD assets.

Hu Yang thought for a while and said:

"Don't rush to expand first, let's stabilize the fresh milk market in the Xijiang area. My requirement is that Xueling Dairy's local market share must exceed 30% in one year and strive to reach 50%.

In addition, in terms of production technology, Youdafen can provide them with support. In the future, they can also consider establishing a joint venture with Youdafen to produce milk powder in China."

Due to the particularity of the location, the long transportation line in Xijiang will undoubtedly increase the cost. Therefore, Xueling Dairy's fresh milk is mainly for the local market, radiating to the northwest. For the time being, there is no need to consider the development of the national market.

Hu Yang made the final decision on this motion and the meeting continued.

Neither Xia Bing nor Yan Hanzhang prepared a proposal this time, so Hu Yang talked about the joint-stock reform of Modu Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd.

"Everyone, Microelectronics Equipment hopes that we can take shares. I want to hear your opinions."

Several people thought about it for a while, and Xu Younian said: "I am opposed to investing in microelectronic equipment. The reason is that the asset status of microelectronic equipment is not ideal and the technology level in the industry is lagging behind. This will undoubtedly increase our investment risks."

Then Xia Bing said: "Mr. Hu, I understand that you want to support domestic photolithography machine companies, but the problem is that I don't see the possibility of the project succeeding at all. To put it bluntly, we are a business after all, so we don't need

Bearing so many social responsibilities.”

After Xia Bing finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the conference room. This was something Xia Bing could say, and everyone present could hear it. Mr.

Snow Ridge Dairy.

Hu Yang smiled and shook his head, this Xia Bing really dared to say it.

In investments in Xijiang, including Xijiang Honghe, Agricultural Technology Company, and Xueling Dairy, Populus euphratica has always put economic benefits second.

It is precisely because Populus euphratica has created employment for many people and promoted local economic development that he was elected as the provincial representative without any controversy.

Some names may seem useless, but they can actually function as talismans. Many people don't understand this, and Hu Yang doesn't want to explain it.

Besides, after the current reorganization of Xijiang Honghe, it has become the largest tomato paste production base in Asia and an important domestic fruit and vegetable product production base. The company's profitability is increasing and its development potential is huge.

Xijiang Xueling Dairy, relying on the high-quality pasture resources in the Xijiang area, is conquering cities and territories. The company's profits can be expected, and its efficiency will not be bad.

"Mr. Yan, tell me what you think."

Of course, Hu Yang would not argue with Xia Bing. His original intention of establishing the decision-making committee was to have a platform for making suggestions. Whether he listened or not was entirely up to him.

"Well, I think we should invest in Modu Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. The reasons are as follows. We must consider the risks of trade sanctions and embargoes.

In fact, I had no idea about this aspect before. Since Charming Semiconductor started building its factory, I discovered that many Western countries have banned the export of many advanced domestic equipment.

It is true that high-end lithography machines are not currently prohibited from being exported, but we have to consider what we will do one day? With the financial strength of Huijia International Investment and Huijia Holdings, the amount of money required to invest in a small company is not high.

More, at most it will be around US$100 million.

But we can get a backup, a hope that we will not be stuck by others in the critical period in the future. So I think, compared with a loss of 100 million US dollars, leaving a way out for ourselves is more important than anything else."

After Yan Hanzhang finished speaking, Hu Yang couldn't help but start applauding.

"What Mr. Yan said is so good! I was a little hesitant before, but now I have made up my mind. I decided to participate in the joint-stock reform of Modu Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. This matter will be handled by Mr. Xia and Huijia International Investment (Pudong)

The company implements it specifically.”

Hu Yang made the decision on the spot, while Xia Bing and Xu Younian were thoughtful.

Especially Xu Younian, he felt that he should reflect on whether he was too conservative?

Xia Bing has a new task, but the specific matter of taking shares in the microelectronic equipment company is still carried out by Ye Chong and Pudong Company.

"Mr. Hu, is it still the old rule to have a meal on the top floor?"

Yan Hanzhang noticed that the atmosphere was suddenly dull, so he smiled and changed the topic.

"Oh, of course. Everyone, do you have any other proposals? If not, the meeting will be adjourned. We will have dinner on the top floor in half an hour. I will treat you to snacks."

Hu Yang smiled and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Xia Bing stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, Hu Yang turned back and said, "Mr. Hu, what kind of snacks are you talking about?"

"Hey, won't you know it in a while? If you don't tell me now, no one will tell you."

Xia Bing's teeth were itching with hatred that Populus euphratica had failed, but there was nothing she could do about it.

At noon, when a few people gathered in the small restaurant on the top floor, they discovered that today they were actually serving northern Shaanxi-style snacks, hand-rolled noodles, meat buns, and several side dishes.

"Mr. Hu, the company has hired a new chef? These two snacks are very authentic."

Xu Younian hadn't eaten these snacks for a long time, so he asked while eating.

"No, a friend of mine happened to be here today, and he helped make these snacks. Donglai, come over here."

Liu Donglai, who has not been seen for a long time, went to the deep sea to find Populus euphratica last night.

Originally, Liu Donglai planned to make a northern Shaanxi-style snack for Populus euphratica at home. However, Populus euphratica had a meeting today and could not go back at noon, so Liu Donglai simply came to the company.

There weren’t many people anyway, so Hu Yang asked Liu Donglai to make a few more servings.
Chapter completed!
