Chapter 689: Practice makes perfect, throw money!

"A Cheng, let's go back to the deep sea."

Hu Yang does not plan to stay in Xiangjiang anymore. Staying here will not have much effect. On the contrary, there are still a lot of things waiting for him in the company.

Chen Jialin watched Hu Yang's car drive away, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, threw one to Old Man Tang, and lit one himself.

"Is this your partner? You can tell at a glance that he is not a simple person."

Old Man Tang slowly stood up from the recliner and stood side by side with Chen Jialin.

Chen Jialin took two puffs of the cigarette, squinted his eyes and put it out, then stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Old Man Tang's pocket.

"Uncle Tang, this partner of mine is indeed not an ordinary person. Okay, enough gossip, that incident didn't leave any traces, right?"

Chen Jialin has known this old man Tang since he was a child. At that time, his father was not yet developed, so the family lived in a small electronics factory.

The prosperity of the Chen family has benefited from the openness of the mainland. Up to now, both father and son have developed very well in the mainland, and even Chen Jialin has a tendency to be better than his predecessors.

This Uncle Tang was a friend of Chen Jialin's father back then.

"What? You look down on my old man? Don't worry, that guy has been killed before I even take action. Where is the flaw?

However, it was agreed at the time that no matter whether things work out or not, deposits given to others will not be refunded. Don’t ask me to refund the money, don’t even think about it.”

At this time, Old Man Tang changed his previous confused look and showed his original shrewd look.

Chen Jialin glanced at Old Man Tang angrily. This Uncle Tang was a trustworthy person, but he always had such a messy and generous personality that made people laugh and cry.

"Isn't it just 1 million Hong Kong dollars? I won't let you return it. Uncle Tang, no matter what I say this time, I have to thank you and treat you to tea another day. Let's go!"

Chen Jialin glanced at Old Man Tang sideways, raised his legs and prepared to leave the dock.

"Boy, be brave! I said, the lawsuit against you has not been resolved yet. If nothing can be done, the old man will be responsible for sending you out of the country."

Old Man Tang nodded with satisfaction, and then gave Chen Jialin a promise.

"Let's talk about it then."

Chen Jialin waved his hand without looking back and took Ade away.

He has never thought about running away. Where can he go after leaving Xiangjiang? Europe, America? Mainland? It's not impossible, but there are endless troubles. It's better to deal with everything in the body.

To be honest, he didn't expect that someone would take action to eliminate Zhang Ming, the most dangerous factor for him. Now, he has enough time to deal with the aftermath, and at least eliminate some of the unfavorable evidence.

Hu Yang returned to Shenhai and summoned Han Wen that night.

"Awen, you have recently focused on investigating Li Kailong to see what role he played in Mr. Chen's matter?

Guo Long has fallen into the French Open, and the network he established in the mainland no longer exists. You should still keep an eye on the North American and Asian Federation in Hong Kong to see what follow-up methods they have."

Guo Long's arrest really made Hu Yang and Han Wen breathe a sigh of relief.

The opponent on the surface is not terrible, but the enemy hidden behind the scenes is the most deadly.

"Okay, boss, I'll go to Xiangjiang early tomorrow morning."

Although Hu Yang didn't say anything, Han Wen made up his mind and went back to find Guo Bingkun. Guo Bingkun was a rival of the Li family, so he would be willing to help him find out some information.

For Hu Yang, he just wanted to confirm the extent of Li Kailong's participation. He and the Li family have long been enemies, and he doesn't mind attacking each other as long as he has the opportunity.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Jialin's lawsuit is still in a stalemate. He still needs to stay in Xiangjiang and has not yet been able to return to the mainland.

Hu Yang couldn't take care of him for the time being, because the Huijia faction finally faced pressure from North America.

Two days ago, North America suddenly announced that it had added Bolong Optical and Microelectronics Equipment to the Entity List, prohibiting all North American companies from cooperating with them or providing them with related technical services.

Moreover, the suppression this time is slightly different from the past.

The difference is that this time the ban includes not only local North American companies, but also North American wholly-owned or joint ventures overseas.

"Mr. Xu, what countermeasures do you have?"

Populus euphratica was waiting for its boots to hit the ground. Unexpectedly, North America was the first to launch a crackdown on domestic lithography equipment.

At present, whether it is Bolong optical or microelectronic equipment, they have already begun to de-North America. Even the supply chain has been completely restructured to prepare for this day.

But this time, North America has obviously expanded its crackdown. Their hands have extended out to the North American continent and begun to affect European and RB companies.

Therefore, Hu Yang immediately convened a decision-making committee meeting.

"Mr. Hu, I estimate that the other party's suppression this time will affect our cooperation with Nikon. In other words, Nikon may not have expected that North America's attitude would be so tough. They may not be able to withstand the pressure."

Xu Younian first talked about the supply chain issue. Although the company has reconstructed the supply chain, to be honest, it is really difficult to completely bypass North America.

"However, the company has achieved great success in the field of objective lenses. Even if there is no supply from Nikon, our own technology can still compete.

In the precision machinery part, Tuwei's products fully meet our requirements without any problems. We are also actively making local substitutions for other parts related to North America."

Xu Younian still has some confidence. For the most critical systems, Bolong Optics already has reliable sources of supply.

In addition to its own technology, there is also the support of friendly forces such as Tuwei Precision Machinery. Other parts are actively promoting local substitution. It is difficult for North America to completely defeat Bolong Optics.

"Mr. Xu, you may still be a little optimistic. I always feel that it is impossible for North America to have no evaluation of the technical level of Braun Optics.

Now we only see problems in the supply chain, but not in the sales chain. What if North America uses this as an excuse to continue to expand the scope of its crackdown?"

Meng Rusong shook his head, always feeling that things were not that simple.

Microelectronic equipment has been suppressed in the past. Later, the company restructured its supply chain, and Nikon took the opportunity to become the company's main supplier.

Now, North America has expanded its attack scope to include Bolong Optical, and in addition to cutting off the supply of local North American companies, it has also cut off the supply of wholly owned or joint ventures outside the country.

Especially for joint ventures, North American capital is spread all over the world. In fact, how many famous international technology companies do not have North American capital?

This is the most terrible thing. North America has already reached out to European companies and RB companies.

Hu Yang scratched his head, looked at Meng Rusong and asked: "Mr. Meng, do you mean that North America will suppress Xentong International next?"

"This is inevitable... Mr. Hu, everyone, think about it, based on the various information we have obtained, North America wants to suppress the Huijia semiconductor industry chain, not any one of them.

.

In our entire industry chain, the focus is on three companies: Xentong International, Charming Semiconductor and Mingkang Communications."

Meng Rusong was not polite and pointed out the key point directly.

To be honest, among the entire Huijia industry chain, Xentong International is the strongest, followed by Mincom Communications.

In terms of comprehensive strength, there is still a big gap between Charming Semiconductor and S Star and MG.

As for Bolong's optical and microelectronic equipment, it can only be said that the existing problems have been initially solved, and the gap in technical level is even greater.

Xia Bing frowned, knocked on the table gently, and said, "Mr. Meng, if I follow what you say, I'll be in a lot of trouble."

Xintong International's technical level has gradually matched that of Taipower, and it is the strongest company under the Huijia Group.

However, the production of chips involves very complex and cumbersome aspects, with as many as 300 production equipment alone.

Although the company has been carrying out a "spare tire plan" and is actively looking for domestic alternatives, so far it is still difficult to bypass equipment or materials from companies such as North American Applied Materials and Lam Semiconductor.

"Yes, the trouble is huge. If you give me some more time, I might not be afraid of them. What happened to the world's giants? At worst, I will sacrifice some yield and increase my efforts to support a group of domestic companies.

But now, just like polishing pads, although Dingxin Technology has made a breakthrough, it is still about 6 months away from mass production.

What I mean is, if it doesn’t work out, we’ll just stock up on goods. As long as we persist for a year, many things will change dramatically.”

The funds on Meng Rusong's hands are not unlimited. Just investing in process research and development every year is a huge expense.

If we hoard various materials in addition to normal inventory, funds will be tight. If we continue to expand production capacity, Meng Rusong can only ask Populus euphratica for help.

At this time, Liang Yu, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and looked at Meng Rusong: "Mr. Meng, if you need financial support, I can spare 10 billion yuan."

Liang Yu was running around everywhere these days, and finally completed the task assigned to him by Populus euphratica and raised 50 billion yuan in funds.

Semiconductors are a money-burning industry, and chip manufacturing is even more so.

For example, Taipower's annual capital expenditure is almost 10 billion U.S. dollars. This short-term loan of 10 billion RMB is really not that much.

When Yan Hanzhang heard this, he was also moved. He couldn't help but look at Hu Yang.

Hu Yang ignored him and waited for Meng Rusong to express his position.

"This is great! I am short of nothing but funds. As long as I have these 10 billion yuan, I guarantee that some people in North America will break their teeth."

Meng Rusong has this confidence. Apart from Applied Materials and Lam Semiconductor, isn't there Tokyo Electronics and Toshiba Semiconductor?

Besides, a year later, some domestic small and medium-sized enterprises will gradually grow up. How can a living person be suffocated to death?

There are more people in China with ideas, and there are more small and medium-sized enterprises with ideas.

Many people say that the reason why the domestic semiconductor industry lags behind is due to technical reasons. This is actually not entirely correct.

Hu Yang once discussed this issue with Meng Rusong. What domestic small and medium-sized enterprises lack most is not funds and technology, but the market.

Under normal circumstances, companies like Xentong International and Charming Semiconductor would definitely be willing to use products from international giants.

One is that the technology is advanced and mature, and the other is to satisfy customers. Since there are ready-made and convenient roads, who is willing to take a small road and use products from small companies that are different in all aspects?

Apart from anything else, the yield rate alone limits the free choice of enterprises.

As a result, small and medium-sized enterprises have invested funds, but the products developed cannot be sold. Who will dare to invest in the future?
