Chapter 678 Sleeping with one eye, watching with the other eye
"Why is this happening? Haven't the regulatory authorities' opinions on how to deal with it have been made very clear? Why are these people still selling the company's stocks?"
Xu Younian couldn't figure out the fact that the stock price of microelectronic equipment fell after the company got out of the crisis, so he came to see Hu Yang before leaving get off work.
"Mr. Xu, didn't you see that today's trading volume is very sparse? This shows that there are no large institutions involved in today's trading.
As for the behavior of retail investors, it is unreasonable and you don’t have to look for the reason. According to my estimation, the company’s stock will be stable in the past two days. As long as the company’s fundamentals do not change, you don’t need to care too much about anything else.”
Hu Yang knew that Xu Younian was planning to propose a new financing plan in the future. Isn't the purpose of listing the company just to make money... No, it was financing.
That's why Xu Younian cares so much about the rise and fall of stock prices.
"Okay, let's wait and see."
Xu Younian responded helplessly. Since the boss looked so calm, what else could he say?
As a result, on the next day, the stock price of microelectronic equipment began to stop falling and rebound. Moreover, the company's stock price quickly reached a new high, which made Xu Younian and others breathe a huge sigh of relief.
A minor crisis just disappeared.
Hu Yang took advantage of this opportunity and held two meetings. One was the board meeting of Bolong Optics, and the other was the board meeting of Microelectronics Equipment.
At the meeting, he further clarified the business division of the two companies.
Bolong Optics will mainly produce high-end optical instruments, high-precision lenses, and optical exposure systems for lithography machines. The company also established Bolong Optics (Laser Technology) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bolong Optical.
Since the company has achieved absolute control over microelectronic equipment, the company has handed over all production of high-end lithography machines, as well as mid- to low-end lithography machines to microelectronics equipment.
To put it bluntly, microelectronic equipment is the final assembly factory, and the core technology is basically mastered by Bolong Optics.
After the meeting, the two companies made adjustments in terms of personnel and equipment.
The R&D center located in Beijing still belongs to Bolong Optics. Microelectronics equipment is only engaged in the production of complete machines and the research and development of mid-to-low-end lithography machines, and no longer involves other technical fields.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Du, I will return to Shenhai soon. I will leave the affairs here and the capital to you!"
After this reorganization, the interests of all parties have been protected.
At present, Summit Capital's equity is still frozen, but no matter how it is dealt with in the end, it will have no impact on microelectronic equipment.
Bolong's optical and microelectronic equipment, so far, can be said to have embarked on a healthy development path and no longer needs too much attention from Populus euphratica.
Therefore, he was also preparing to leave the Magic City in the next two days.
As for the lawsuit against Applied Materials, it is not a problem that can be solved in a short time. It will probably take a long time to deal with it.
Anyway, the lawsuit is being fought in North America, and it doesn't matter if Populus euphratica stays in Shanghai or in the deep sea.
Early that morning, Hu Yang received a call from Xia Bing on her way to the airport. She said that the lawyer had been selected and the entrustment document had been sent to Yi Jun.
In addition, Applied Materials has officially changed the subject of the lawsuit, changing the first defendant from Yi Jun to Elbe Semiconductor Equipment Company.
It seems that the other party is also well-informed and knows that Yi Jun has transferred all the technology patents in his hands to Yibei Semiconductor Equipment.
“Mr.
Hu Yang has no more instructions. Now that the legal proceedings have been officially completed, it is useless to think too much about working hard in the best direction.
After hanging up the phone, the convoy quickly arrived at Pudong Airport. At 7:45, Hu Yang's business jet took off on time and flew to the deep sea.
Three days later, Xia Bing returned from North America. When she came to Hu Yang's office, she carried a lot of things in large and small bags.
"Mr. Xia, what are you doing?"
Hu Yang was sitting at his desk handling official duties. He looked up and saw Xia Bing putting a bunch of handbags on the coffee table. He was a little confused about the situation.
"Boss, let me make it clear first that I did not give these things to you, I brought them to you for Tingting."
Xia Bing looked at Hu Yang with a smile, but she was thinking in her heart that the relationship between the boss and Tingting was definitely not simple. Could it be that something happened between them?
"Tingting? Let me see what she has given me."
Hu Yang was a little surprised. He stood up curiously and walked to the coffee table. He opened the handbags one by one and took a few glances.
There are no special items, almost all are clothes. There are suits, casual clothes, etc., and the brands don't seem to be cheap.
"Assistant Wu, help me put it away first."
Hu Yang didn't take a closer look, and immediately asked Wu Xinhui to come in and pack all these things away.
"Boss, according to the lawyer, we have a good chance of winning this kind of lawsuit, but it depends on what kind of evidence the other party provides.
I have already called Director Yi and asked him to send the prepared self-defense materials to North America. According to the lawyer, it is normal for this lawsuit to take three to five years."
Protracted litigation, attorney fees and other expenses are not a small sum, tens of millions of dollars can't be escaped.
Xia Bing was more optimistic. If Yi Jun had not told lies, the outcome of this lawsuit would not be too bad.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xia. You should be responsible for this matter up to this point. Elbe Semiconductor Equipment will send someone to take over later. Let North American Venture Capital keep an eye on it and try to provide some necessary help."
Hu Yang nodded and expressed his affirmation of Xia Bing's work achievements.
The Huijia system is a whole, and many things require full cooperation among various enterprises. Things that have nothing to do with oneself are ignored... This kind of situation will never be allowed to happen by Populus euphratica.
"I have already told North American Venture Capital that they will do everything they can to cooperate with this lawsuit. Boss, if I have nothing else to do, I will leave first. Remember to call Tingting back when you get back."
Xia Bing immediately stood up and left Hu Yang's office.
Hu Yang looked at the time and saw that it was still late at night in North America, so he temporarily gave up the idea of making a phone call.
In the evening, Chen Jialin asked Populus euphratica to have dinner together.
Chen Jialin is living a relatively leisurely life now, and the expansion of Nishite Technology has basically reached its ceiling. If he wants to go further, he can only develop in other industries.
"Brother Hu, I think you should stop and take a rest. The Huijia department, from semiconductor equipment, to wafer foundry, to chip design, basically covers logic chips, memory chips, control chips,
RF chips, baseband chips...etc.
If I were you, I would be able to expand the scale of these companies with peace of mind. Anyway, Huijia is full of talented people, and if you delegate power appropriately, you will be much more relaxed."
The longer Chen Jialin and Hu Yang got to know each other, the less and less he found that he understood this guy less and less. He didn't understand why Hu Yang kept rushing forward, seizing the day for a thousand years.
"Do you think we are strong now?"
Hu Yang sighed softly. He didn't want to live too tiredly. The problem is that when you are already on this road, you can't stop at all.
Why does he always keep moving forward? Because he knows that when he stops moving forward, crisis may come at any time.
This world is, after all, a world that values strength.
Some people say that the theme of the current world is cooperation and win-win, but Populus euphratica has always scorned it. The world is so big, the market is so big, some people live well and some do not live well.
When Huijia entered the semiconductor industry without hesitation, it meant that it had to steal meat from the bowls of international giants.
There is only one reason why the Huijia system has repeatedly suffered unfair treatment, and that is because it is not strong enough.
"What? Oh, I think the country is getting stronger and stronger now. You see, as we join the WTO, the domestic manufacturing industry is becoming more and more prosperous. I think China will one day become a real world factory, right?"
Chen Jialin obviously did not understand what Hu Yang meant, but answered Hu Yang's question from a more macro level.
"Mr. Chen, I feel that we are not strong enough from a macro perspective or a micro perspective.
Let me give you an example, if we were strong enough, would North America still dare to suppress our Huijia system at every turn?
Therefore, as a pursuer, we are not qualified to stop. Unless we do not engage in high-end industries such as semiconductors, but stay in local industries such as clothing, shoes and hats."
Hu Yang feels that the civilization of the Chinese people for thousands of years has focused on the balance of yin and yang and the golden mean. The Chinese people like to persuade people to be kind and talk about truth. After all, the world is vast and the truth is the greatest, which is an indelible mark brought by cultural traditions.
However, North America has used countless living examples to tell everyone that the fist is the biggest in the world.
People think that the Huijia Group should not engage in semiconductors. If you engage in semiconductors, it will threaten the interests of North American companies. If you don't obey, you will be beaten.
In this case, Populus euphratica has no choice.
Either you have to catch up, fight with all your strength, and fight your way out. Or you can only passively be beaten, kneel, or die.
After Chen Jialin listened, he was speechless.
He and Hu Yang were not actually talking about whether to be lazy, but were discussing the future development of the Huijia system.
Chen Jialin prefers to be content with the status quo. He feels that if the Huijia Group develops in a low-key manner and is not so aggressive, North America may not always keep an eye on the Huijia Group.
And Hu Yang has a strong sense of crisis. Judging from the performance, Huijia now has a relatively complete and mature semiconductor industry chain, but before it has fully developed, North America may give you a fatal blow behind your back at any time.
One blow.
"Brother Hu, maybe you are right. Brother, I have been working with you for so many years and it has always been smooth sailing. It's all thanks to you.
Okay, let's not argue anymore. Just do whatever you say, and I will definitely be the first to stand up and support you."
The argument between Chen Jialin and Hu Yang does not mean anything else, it is just a difference in ideas. As the saying goes, seek common ground while reserving differences, Chen Jialin will naturally continue to move forward with Hu Yang.
"Why are we talking about this? Sometimes there are only benefits and no harm in arguing. Mr. Chen, don't underestimate the insidiousness and shamelessness of North America. We have to turn a blind eye at all times when we sleep."
Hu Yang belongs to the type of person who becomes more courageous in the Vietnam War. He is not afraid of North America becoming strong, but he is afraid that he will lose the motivation to move forward.
Therefore, he has never dared to really slack off in these years.
"Hey, one eye is on guard and the other eye is sentry, right? Come on, let's have a drink. No matter what, we can't live like machines."
Chen Jialin quickly raised his glass and continued talking about this topic. It was indeed a bit heavy.
Hu Yang shook his head with a smile and reached out to grab the wine glass when the cell phone on the table rang.
To be continued...
