Chapter 736 Declaration of victory, always on the road (finale)

Of course, Bolon Optics (Laser Technology) Company has to hold a symbolic board meeting, which is just a formality.

Immediately, two agreements for capital increase and share expansion were released.

Huijia International Investment will increase its investment in Bolong Optical by US$10 billion and in Bolong Optical (Laser Technology) Company by US$3.04 billion.

After the completion of this additional issuance, Hu Yang strengthened his control over Bolong Optics and its laser technology company, becoming a veritable controlling shareholder.

After finishing this matter, a few days later, Populus euphratica came to the magic city again.

Just like when he was in Beijing, he held a board meeting of Xintong International as soon as he arrived in the capital city. The topic was still the same, about increasing capital and expanding shares.

"Mr. Hu, none of us will oppose this motion. However, you are a well-known wealthy man, so don't let everyone down in terms of equity premium."

Zhang Rulin made a joke. His purpose was actually to help Hu Yang persuade other directors.

"No problem, I, Mr. Hu, will never let my partners suffer. Of course, you can't open your mouth like a lion, that's about it."

Hu Yang laughed and accepted the premium proposal.

There has actually been a tacit understanding among the major shareholders of the company for a long time. Chip manufacturing is also a business, and it involves large investments. What else can you do if you don’t have funds?

Since Populus euphratica promised to give a good premium, they would naturally support it.

After the capital increase and share expansion agreement was signed, Huijia International Investment injected another US$20 billion into Xintong International.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Yang convened a board meeting of Charming Semiconductor at the Charming Research Institute without stopping. The topic was also to increase capital and expand shares.

The matter of Charming Semiconductor was easy to handle, and Hu Yang could keep his word. In the end, Hu Yang added another US$10 billion to Charming Semiconductor.

At this point, after Huijia International Investment cleared out its shares in Amazon, not a penny of the US$43.04 billion that was withdrawn was left, all of which was wasted by Populus euphratica.

So much so that when Su Tingting invited Hu Yang to dinner, she felt worried for him.

"Ah Yang, are you taking out all your capital? I said, no matter what, you have to keep some. We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of the worst."

"What to keep? Money is valuable only when it is spent. If you keep it in your hands, it is almost like straw paper. Tingting, don't worry, I still have money for retirement. Apart from anything else, it is just the Shenhai Tengfei I hold.

More than 20% of the equity is enough."

Hu Yang laughed and told Su Tingting a secret that was not a secret.

"Oh? Are you so optimistic about Penguin Empire? However, the market value of Penguin Empire has now exceeded 2 trillion Hong Kong dollars."

Su Tingting pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that she was worrying blindly.

"Stop talking about me, how are you doing lately?"

Hu Yang smiled, but in fact he still accepted the kindness in his heart.

"My life as a child was pretty good. The only bad thing was that I didn't dare to go out because I was afraid I wouldn't come back."

Su Tingting pouted her mouth, a little unhappy.

When she said she didn't dare to go out, she meant she didn't dare to go abroad. So far, North America has not withdrawn the investigation against her. If she runs around, she might not be able to come back.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. You traveled almost all over the world in the early years. Now that you are quiet, just think of it as a way to cultivate yourself."

Hu Yang smiled helplessly. In fact, he was not very good at persuading people.

"That's right. Maybe one day the words from North America won't be so effective. Then, shouldn't I just leave if I want to?"

Su Tingting smiled and felt much better unconsciously.

After the two had dinner, Hu Yang accompanied Su Tingting to the riverside for a while. When the time was almost up, he said goodbye to the other party and went directly to the airport.

Then he returned to Deep Sea from the Magic City, and for the next period of time, he would run between Deep Sea and the capital. As for the time interval, it was entirely up to him.

Three months later.

ASML announced the successful development of an EUV lithography machine, and not long after, Taipower and Xentong International entered the 14nm process.

"Assistant Wu, ask them to prepare the car. I'm going to visit the production and R&D base of Bolong Optics."

Perhaps stimulated by the news, the day after Populus euphratica came to the capital again, he planned to go to Bolong Optical to have a look.

After such a long period of time, North America’s attempt to suppress the Huijia Group has basically failed. Among them, two companies are the most critical, one is Mincom Communications and the other is Xentong International.

Mingkang Communication continues to maintain its advantages in the field of communications. The domestic 4G network is basically completed, and its comprehensive performance is well-deserved to be the first in the world.

Driven by advances in communication technology, domestic Internet companies are booming. Especially in e-commerce and mobile payment, the speed of development is astonishing.

All of this is inseparable from basic things, such as chips, which are becoming more and more important.

Therefore, when ASML announced that it had successfully developed an EUV lithography machine, Hu Yang could not sit still. Although the current chip manufacturing does not yet require such high-end equipment, the process is advancing rapidly, from 14nm to

7nm will not be used for a few years.

7nm is a node. Starting from this node, EUV lithography machines must be used. No wonder Hu Yang is very anxious.

Arriving at the production and R&D base of Bolong Optics, Hu Yang met Zhang Xiao and Dai Xiangjun. Xu Younian was not in the country at this time, and he happened to go to Europe a few days ago.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Dai, do you have any clues about our EUV lithography machine? I remember you have been saying that we are just about to kick it in. Shouldn't you also shoot this kick?"

Hu Yang sat down in the reception room and looked at Zhang Xiao and Dai Xiangjun with a smile.

To be honest, there is no need to rush things like research and development. If you push things too hard, it might even have the opposite effect.

Therefore, Hu Yang’s words are half-joking and half-serious.

Unexpectedly, Dai Xiangjun laughed after hearing this: "Haha, Mr. Hu, it's a coincidence that you are here. I have just made a breakthrough in the optical exposure system of the EUV lithography machine, and other subsystems have basically been developed. Now

Poor lighting system.”

Hu Yang was stunned. He had not received a report before, and subconsciously thought that there was no progress in the research and development of Bolong Optics.

Unexpectedly, it was really just the last step.

Zhang Xiao took over and said with a smile: "We are busy working on the final verification these days. We originally wanted to wait until the verification is completed before reporting to you."

Hu Yang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter! I just want to know now, when will the laser technology company complete the light source system?"

Zhang Xiao and Dai Xiangjun exchanged glances, and finally Zhang Xiao replied: "At most half a year! If everything goes well, three or four months will be enough, I promise!"

After receiving this affirmative answer, Hu Yang couldn't help but smile. He knew that Zhang Xiao and Dai Xiangjun would not dare to talk nonsense. Since they dared to say that it would be done within half a year, there would be absolutely no problem.

"When our EUV lithography machine is successfully developed, I will personally congratulate you. You can tell everyone in advance so that everyone can work harder and there will be generous bonuses waiting for them."

Hu Yang's routine is not new, but it is his consistent style. He has never hesitated to reward those who have made significant contributions. He does not care whether others will be jealous, let alone others saying that he is too tacky.

When I got home in the evening, Hu Yang specially opened a bottle of Moutai.

"A Yang, why are you so happy today? Come on, pour me a glass too, and I'll drink with you."

When Tian Sichun saw Hu Yang's expression, she knew that her man was very happy today, so she decided to join in the fun.

"Yes, I am very happy. The company is finally about to win the last piece of high ground. Braun Optics' EUV lithography machine will be successfully developed soon."

Hu Yang poured Tian Sichun a glass of wine and then chatted while drinking.

At this time, Xiao Yifei had already eaten and went out to play. There was someone following the little guy, so the two of them felt relieved.

"Congratulations then!"

Tian Sichun smiled slightly, raised his glass and touched it with Populus euphratica, and then drank a drink.

Although Hu Yang rarely talks to Tian Sichun about work matters when he returns home, Tian Sichun can still feel the pressure the man has faced in recent years.

Now, the Huijia Department has solved the last "heart problem", and Tian Sichun and Hu Yang are both very happy.

"Chunchun, I can accompany you around during the winter and summer vacations. To be honest, I haven't had much time to take you on trips these years."

In the past few years, it was because the children were young, and in recent years, because of the comprehensive suppression in North America, there was no time. Hu Yang felt a little sorry...

He decided that he would continue to delegate power in the future, reduce some of his work pressure, and spend more time with his family.

"There's no need to be too deliberate. I think life is pretty good now. Ah Yang, just be yourself. There's no need to change for anyone."

Tian Sichun smiled sweetly. She was very satisfied with her man. At least he was a man who cared about his family.

As winter turns to spring, it’s another good time of year.

After going to Yangcheng for the Spring Festival, Hu Yang's family of three returned to the capital. As a representative, Hu Yang will attend the upcoming meeting. His proposal this time is not about semiconductors, but calls for strengthening basic science research.

During the meeting, Populus euphratica moved to the hotel, which was also a requirement of the meeting.

"Mr. Hu, I'm here to see you, won't you disturb me?"

After dinner that day, Hu Yang was reading documents in the hotel, and Qi Xiangmin followed Wu Xinhui in.

"Secretary Qi, are you coming to the meeting too? Please take a seat. Assistant Wu, make a pot of tea."

Hu Yang knew that Qi Xiangmin would definitely come to attend this meeting, but they were not in the same group. It was not easy to meet so many people.

"Mr. Hu, congratulations. On the occasion of the meeting, Braun Optical announced the successful development of an EUV lithography machine. This is exciting news."

As soon as Qi Xiangmin sat down, he talked about Braun Optics' EUV lithography machine.

At present, the competition between China and North America in the field of technology is becoming more and more fierce. North America, in particular, has torn away its mask of hypocrisy and used all kinds of methods that are not on the table.

There has never been an era like now when all the people are concerned about the high-tech industry. Regardless of whether people know the industry or not, the topics that everyone often talks about often involve EUV.
