Chapter 455: Success comes naturally, breakthrough!

Tang Chenghu stared at Hu Yang for a long time and found that he was really not pretending to be calm. If he insisted on raising the price while sitting on the ground, the other party might really raise his leg and leave.

So he secretly sighed, and arranged such a little trick this time. Although he had the mentality of "hugging the grass and beating the rabbit", Tang Chenghu felt at the time that there was still a certain possibility of success.

However, he originally thought that Charming Semiconductor and S-Star would raise the acquisition price in a staggered manner. Now it seems that the young Mr. Hu does not accept this trick at all.

As a result, Tang Chenghu did not dare to continue taking risks. His purpose was just to get the other party to raise the price a little, but he did not want the negotiation to truly break down.

Qimonda's technology is actually very embarrassing, and some international giants don't like it at all. The technologies of S-Star, SK, and MG are all more advanced than Qimonda's.

However, small companies do not have the strength to make acquisitions. In other words, if Qimonda wants to sell Changan R&D Center, it actually does not have many options.

Sell ​​to the old rival S-Star? Putting aside the grievances between everyone, the spoiler will not pay the bill in the end. So, after all, it can only be sold to Charming Semiconductor.

"Okay, Mr. Hu, you win. The purchase price is set at US$31 million. What do you think? But I hope that the negotiation process will be accelerated, and it is best to sign the contract within the next two days."

There was no embarrassment on Tang Chenghu's face. Although he used some small tricks today, they were still within the rules. I would be happy if he succeeded. If he didn't, he would continue as agreed before.

Perhaps due to internal pressure, Tang Chenghu made a symbolic increase of US$1 million.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded. This time he did not refute the other party. It was only a million dollars, so he had to give the CEO some face.

"Okay, that's it! Mr. Yan, you go ahead and negotiate, don't waste time. President Tang and I will talk for a while..."

Hu Yang knew that Tang Chenghu was anxious, so he asked Yan Hanzhang to continue negotiating with the other party.

Tang Chenghu also called people in and gave a few explanations. After a while, Hu Yang and him were the only two people left in the conference room.

"President Tang, do you still have business dealings with Ankang Insurance?"

Hu Yang was rather surprised, why did An Zhizhi get together with the representative of Star S again? So he asked from the side.

"Haha, you want to ask Mr. An, right? Mr. An has met me several times before, and we are considered acquaintances. Today he came to me with a representative of S Star. I heard that there is some cooperation between them."

There is nothing that cannot be said about this matter. An Zhizhi has known Tang Chenghu before, and today's meeting was basically an arrangement between An Zhizhi and Tang Chenghu.

"President Tang, let me tell you the truth. Qimonda's technology, which is currently Charming Semiconductor, is the most suitable to inherit and carry forward. If the international giants get it, they will definitely put your technology on the shelf. Small companies with insufficient strength, even if they get

Without technology, it is difficult to fully understand it. I am here to give you a promise that we will definitely make your technology shine again."

Hu Yang could understand some of Tang Chenghu's thoughts. The former semiconductor giant was now on the verge of bankruptcy, and only this promise could give him some comfort.

When Tang Chenghu heard Hu Yang say this, he also showed a smile on his face: "Mr. Hu, happy cooperation! At the same time, I also wish Charming Semiconductor and hope you can become bigger and stronger."

Since Tang Chenghu and Hu Yang reached an agreement in principle, only some technical details remained in the negotiations on Yan Hanzhang's side.

The next day, Charming Semiconductor and Qimonda officially signed a contract.

Charming Semiconductor will acquire Qimonda Changan R&D Center for US$31 million. After the acquisition is completed, Charming Semiconductor will acquire all the intellectual property rights owned by Qimonda R&D Center.

As one of Qimonda's two most important R&D institutions in the world, Changan R&D Center possesses Qimonda DRAM "stacked" technology and complete "flash memory" technology.

The R&D center does not involve any claims or debts. In addition to technical data and research equipment, its most valuable asset is the center's R&D personnel at all levels.

So after the signing was completed, Hu Yang announced that all employees of the Changan R&D Center would be retained, and their salaries would remain the same as before.

After Tang Chenghu completed the signing, he left Chang'an and returned to Frankfurt. Before leaving, he specially treated Hu Yang to a meal.

"Mr. Hu, the handover work has been carried out smoothly. I guess it will take some time. How about I stay here and you go back to the deep sea first?"

Yan Hanzhang is in high spirits these days, and he finally has the DRAM technology he has been dreaming about.

"Well, I have asked them to apply for the route, and I will leave the day after tomorrow at the latest. Mr. Yan, during your stay, you should communicate more with the technical staff of the R&D center and listen to what their requirements are. If it is not excessive,

, just try to be satisfied.”

The conditions offered by Populus euphratica are good in all aspects, and the purpose is to retain these talents.

For the time being, the time is not yet ripe. When the time comes, Hu Yang will consider moving the R&D center to Shanghai.

"Okay, I understand. Mr. Hu, I have called Mr. Yang to come as soon as possible. After the handover is completed, the next step of research and development work can be carried out immediately. Mr. Yang will be here for a while."

After Yan Hanzhang is busy with the handover work, he will also return to Deep Sea. The work of the R&D center will be specifically arranged by Yang Chenglin in the future.

One week later.

Hu Yang, who had already returned to the deep sea, was looking through the information collected by Han Wen in the office.

Information shows that S-Star has signed a contract with the local government to invest in the construction of a DRAM factory in Chang'an, and Ankang Insurance has participated in the financing of this project.

That's what happened.

Hu Yang put down the information in his hand and decided not to pay attention to this matter. It is difficult to explain clearly the grudges between him and Ankang Insurance. But whoever has a chance between the two parties will not forget to give his opponent a slap in the face.

Attack hard.

For example, in this negotiation with Qimonda, S-Star's purpose is to disrupt the situation. Whether there is An Zhijie behind the scenes or not, you can figure it out with your toes.

Early summer.

News came from S-Star that for the first time in the world, DRAM produced with 90 (nm) process technology has been mass-produced.

There is also good news coming from Charming Semiconductor.

"Mr. Hu, Charming Semiconductor has successfully developed a 1GB DRAM chip based on laminated CCP technology. Mr. Yang said that the new product can be mass-produced in up to half a year, and we finally have high-end DRAM products."

Charming Semiconductor was struggling to break through the DRAM technology. After obtaining the technical information from Qimonda, everything fell into place.

It cannot be said that the technical strength of Charming Semiconductor must be weak. The biggest problem before was how to avoid intellectual property issues. Many times you can clearly see a road that leads to the sky, but you have to go around it.

But things are different now. With Qimonda's technology, a ready-made technology path is right in front of you. You don't have to think about patent barriers, just work hard to follow this path.

"This is really good news! We must reward all the people involved in the research and development work later. Mr. Yan, I remember that this kind of 1gb \dram chip was launched by S-Star not too long, only one or two years."

?”

In the field of DRAM, Charming Semiconductor basically started from scratch. The products that were successfully developed before were equivalent to the level of others in the 1990s. But this time because of Qimonda’s technology sources and self-accumulation over such a long time,

Finally achieved leapfrog development.

"To be precise, there is a gap of 18 months from S Star. Currently, the company's DRAM factory has entered the equipment debugging stage. Trial production can be carried out in the third quarter, and mass production should be achieved before the end of the year."

At this stage, Charming Semiconductor's production capacity is stronger than its design capacity. However, as time goes by, especially when the company obtains Qimonda's technical data and R&D team, this gap will soon be eliminated.

"Mr. Yan, continue to increase investment in research and development, increase research funding by 60 million US dollars to the North American Ripper Company, and allocate 500 million yuan in research funding to the R&D centers in Charming Semiconductor Magic City and Chang'an."

Charming Semiconductor currently has three main R&D institutions. The R&D center of the headquarters has been moved to Shanghai, as well as the Ripper Company in Silicon Valley and the Changan R&D Center.

It is precisely because of the cooperation of these three major R&D institutions that Charming Semiconductor's DRAM technology has achieved leapfrog development.

If you want to produce results, you must be willing to invest and spend money. Both Hu Yang and Yan Hanzhang understand this.

"Okay, Mr. Hu, I'll make arrangements right away."

Yan Hanzhang immediately left Hu Yang's office to arrange the funding.

When he was the only one left in the office, Hu Yang stood up suddenly and threw the signature pen on the table.

At this time, Hu Yang wished he could sing loudly to vent his inner joy.

Charming Semiconductor has been struggling on the profit and loss line, so much so that Hu Yang needs to keep financing and blood transfusions for it. But now, everything has paid off. Even international giants such as S Star can no longer use price wars and other means to threaten

to the survival of the company.

Hu Yang was in a good mood. He went to the gym to do a few sets of equipment and sparred with Li Jie for half an hour before he calmed down.

After returning to the office after taking a shower, Hu Yang called Meng Rusong and asked him to inform the directors that a board meeting would be held next month. There was only one topic on the agenda. He suggested a salary increase for all employees of Xentong International.

Among them, the salary of technical personnel increased by 25%, and the salary of managers and other employees increased by 20%.

"Mr. Hu, as a result, the company's costs will rise a lot. Aren't you afraid of affecting the company's performance? Of course, as a beneficiary, I very much welcome this proposal."
