Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 138 Capture Technology

Ten days later, ASML replaced some of its top management, and replaced them with people from the Wujiang Group, with academician Qin Guogang serving as the CEO of ASML.

However, before Qin Guogang became the CEO of ASML, Zhao Ye specially called him to the office and gave him a few words of advice.

"Given that ASML is currently in a very difficult situation and is short of funds, it is reasonable to sell some of ASML's technology patents to Wujiang Group. After all, if ASML does not receive capital injection, the company will soon go bankrupt. "

"Academician Qin, you are a technician yourself, so you are responsible for sorting out the technology needed by Wujiang Microelectronics, and then selling it to Wujiang Microelectronics."

Qin Guogang nodded when he heard the words, knowing his mission very well.

Zhao Ye sent him as the CEO of ASML, not because he really wanted to develop ASML, but to understand ASML's technology.

"Boss, I understand!" Qin Guogang replied.

The next day, Qin Guogang flew to the Netherlands and officially took the post of CEO of ASML.

After a period of time, Academician Qin Guogang learned about ASML's technology in detail, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "ASML's technology is more advanced than I thought. I thought the PAS2500 lithography machine was already very advanced. I didn't expect it. Bismarck is still developing PAS3000, and the reserved technology is very advanced!"

Immediately, Qin Guogang was overjoyed. If Wujiang Microelectronics can buy ASML's technology, then the development of a new generation of lithography machines should soon make a breakthrough!

Moreover, the production technology and process can have great progress.

……

Of course, if ASML wants to sell technology, Wujiang Group cannot arbitrarily monopolize the power, after all, there is still a major shareholder.

At this time, Philips never expected that he had just reached a cooperation with Wujiang Group, and as a result, the two companies now became the sole shareholders of ASML.

"President Wells, Wujiang Group sent a notice that in order to save ASML, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, Wujiang Microelectronics will invest 200 million US dollars to purchase some technologies of ASML." The secretary said to Hank Wells , thought for a while, and then expressed his own thoughts, "President Wells, the purpose of Wujiang's move, in my opinion, is to buy ASML's technology!"

Hank Wells smiled and said: "Well, your analysis is very correct. However, it doesn't matter. We are not interested in ASML anyway. ASML has been losing money since its establishment, so as long as Wujiang Group doesn't ask We just need to invest more.”

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, ASML's technology can't be sold at a low price, so please draw attention to it."

"Okay, President!" The secretary nodded, not paying attention to this company in his expression.

ASML basically has no status in Philips, and Philips is almost letting ASML to fend for itself. Obviously, it is very pessimistic about the future development of ASML.

In the mid-to-late 80s, Japanese lithography machines were too strong, and it was difficult for other lithography machines to survive.

Furthermore, the lithography machine market is relatively small, and Philips may not be interested in this market.

At the beginning of its establishment, ASML was not welcomed by Philips, and they were directly thrown into the temporary board room next to Philips headquarters.

It can be said that Philips abandoned it like chaff.

In the previous life, ASML went public in the 90s. As a result, Philips sold all the shares directly.Later ASML basically had nothing to do with Philips.

ASML, which Philips regards as bad, is regarded as a treasure by Wujiang Group.If it weren't for the fact that Western countries did not allow Wujiang Group to take control of ASML, Zhao Ye would have had ASML acquired directly and wholly.

There is no way, now we can only settle for the next best thing, and squeeze the value from ASML. For example, three days later, ASML reached an agreement with Wujiang Microelectronics Company to exchange technology for funds in order to survive...

……

The introduction of ASML technology has a great effect on Wujiang Microelectronics, and the company is very excited.

After reading these technical materials, Academician Huang Kun directly issued a military order to Zhao Ye, stating that a new generation of lithography machines will be launched within half a year.

In other words, at this time, Wujiang Microelectronics has a strong strength. Not only the "Six Riders of TSMC R&D" have joined Wujiang Microelectronics one after another, but also more Chinese semiconductor talents have joined Wujiang Microelectronics.

In the previous life, TSMC used its own identity to recruit a large number of Chinese semiconductor talents.

But in this life, Wujiang Microelectronics is more justifiable than TSMC, and has a strong root, and it is ahead of TSMC, and these Chinese semiconductor talents are included in the company.

Some of these talents are good at processes, some are integration experts of the overall logic process, responsible for improving the yield rate, and some are good at materials...

In the recent period of time, the development of Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. has been booming, and it can be described as "changing with each passing day".

However, in terms of lithography machine lenses, Wujiang Microelectronics still lacks technology.

……

At this moment, Rex Eden has come to East Germany and started to prepare for the hunter plan.

The current economy of the Soviet Union is very bad, and East Zeiss is naturally not much better.As for West Caisi, it is only slightly stronger than East Caisi.

The two are almost the same.

However, in comparison, Wujiang Group is more likely to acquire East Zeiss.

Resker Eden's team arrived in Dongdehou and immediately conducted a detailed investigation on Zeiss.

Right now, Zeiss's main business is camera lenses and semiconductor lenses, and medical lenses did not start to develop until the 90s.

However, both camera lenses and semiconductor lenses could not compete with Japanese companies in the 80s.

Zeiss cannot compete with Japanese companies. It is not that Zeiss has poor technical background, but that Zeiss has always followed the tradition of manually building lenses.

In the previous life, it was until Zeiss used machinery instead of man-made lenses to reverse the profit and loss.

During this period, if ASML had not been giving Zeiss blood transfusions, Zeiss would have gone bankrupt long ago.

……

Inside the office.

Zhao Ye is carefully reading the investigation report on Zeiss sent by Rex Eden.

"According to this investigation report, Zeiss can still hold on for a while."

"Let the bullets fly a little longer now."

Zeiss could struggle a little longer, but Rex Aiden is an excellent hunter, dormant in Germany, waiting for his prey to show weakness, and then pounce on the hunt.

Zhao Ye is also a very patient person who can afford to wait.

The key to the hunting plan depends on Zeiss itself.

It is said that flies do not bite seamless eggs.

If Zeiss is doing well, how can Wujiang Group stand a chance?
