Chapter 655: Lithography Machine? I'll sell it to you for money! Whose security guard needs to learn how to fire an RPG?
Drenstraße 6501, Eindhoven.
A skyscraper about 100 meters high stands here, with the company logo "ASML" prominently hung on the facade.
Peter Wennink sat in his office, carefully looking over the business and financial statements for the first half of the year.
Among them, the shipment volume of ArFi DUV lithography machines (equivalent light source wavelength 134 nanometers) was 41 units;
Shipments of 3 ArF dry DUV lithography machines (light source wavelength: 193 nm);
19 KrF DUV lithography machines (light source wavelength 248 nm) were shipped;
3 EUV lithography machines (light source wavelength 13.5 nanometers) were shipped;
Total revenue was 3.47 billion euros and R&D investment was 590 million euros.
Korea, the Gulf Islands and the Lighthouse Country contributed 90% of sales.
It is worth noting that a Fab factory called Star Source Technology placed an order for six NXT 1980i DUV lithography machines two months ago.
This order is a joint decision of the International Semiconductor Association!
The purpose is to make China develop the habit of "it is better to buy than to make", and thus abandon the plan to develop its own EUV lithography machine.
In fact, for Ames, it doesn’t matter who the lithography machine is sold to.
Given the size of China's market, once AMS opens sales to China, its annual revenue will increase by at least 3 billion euros.
However, due to the provisions of the Wassenaar Arrangement, even if Peter intends to cooperate with China's semiconductor industry, the equipment cannot be shipped out of the ports of the Windmill Country.
If Xingyuan Technology had not made a breakthrough in the polishing and coating technology of aspheric mirrors, the sales ban on the NXT 1980i lithography machine would never have been lifted.
"SMIC has ordered 12 units, which will generate nearly €600 million in revenue for the company. Unfortunately, the previous crackdown on China was too harsh, resulting in a limited number of local fab factories. Even if it were now available for sale, there wouldn't be many companies that would need the NXT 1980i."
Peter put down the report in his hand and muttered to himself.
As for whether Star Source Technology can develop EUV lithography machines, he doesn't care at all.
In his eyes, the chairmen of companies like Sega, Micron and Intel are really making a big deal out of nothing.
The other party had just stepped into the field of semiconductor equipment, but they were already scared out of their wits.
You should know that the semiconductor industry chain covers raw materials, lithography machines and various supporting equipment, and brings together top technologies from more than a dozen countries.
Whether it is the oxidation furnace, plasma etcher, and ion implanter required for the front-end process, or the packaging link which is the core of the back-end process, there are dozens of key materials and equipment involved, and the research and development is extremely difficult.
"Even if China could really produce EUV lithography machines, let alone whether the equipment could be used normally or meet commercial mass production standards, AMS would have already launched a more advanced model by then."
Peter thought to himself.
In his opinion, China's efforts in scientific research are just a waste of money, manpower and material resources.
After all, in the semiconductor industry, being one step ahead can determine a victory a thousand miles away!
Ames's technological advantage cannot be easily shaken!
"Boss, Xingyuan Technology has completed the assembly and testing of the entire machine for the order."
At this time, the general manager of the sales department sitting opposite whispered a reminder.
"We immediately started the delivery process and arranged for a team of technicians to work with the customer's technicians to install the equipment in the wafer fab's clean room to ensure that the equipment could operate normally."
Peter nodded slightly and gave a few instructions.
As one of the first buyers of NXT 1980i lithography machines in China, the user experience of Xingyuan Technology is crucial - this is related to the revenue growth performance of AMS in China in the second half of the year.
He is a businessman after all!
Without the above constraints, who would care who the buyer is?
As long as the money is in place!
…
…
Yanjing, Yunku Bar.
Chen Yansen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the Forbidden City not far away.
The sun sets and slowly disappears into the horizon, the lights come on and the neon lights are bright.
Behind him was a group of invited entrepreneurs from the Leaders Financial Summit, gathered in groups of three or four and chatting.
"Mr. Chen, have you decided on a name for the bank?"
Ping An Chairman Ma Zheming came forward with two cocktails and handed one to Chen Yansen first, then asked.
"Call me Senlian, or Orange."
Chen Yansen shrugged, not seeming to care much.
"You're being too perfunctory! The bank's name should be catchy and easy to pronounce so people can remember it."
After hearing this, Ma Zheming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and patiently tried to persuade him.
In fact, he and Chen Yansen had no friendship at first, but with the help of Ma Wenteng, the three companies jointly established "Semir Online", and the two began to communicate more.
"Don't worry, we haven't even started yet. Let's wait until we get the financial license and business license."
Chen Yansen leaned on the wooden railing and turned to face Ma Zheming and said.
A crescent moon rose to the middle of the sky, casting its bright light down, and the most prosperous night scene of Yanjing happened to be spread out behind him, with lush lights, like a galaxy of stars.
"If there's a shortfall in initial funding, Ping An can first allocate 3 billion to Mr. Chen."
Ma Zheming hesitated for a few seconds, but still spoke out what was on his mind.
To put it bluntly, it was mainly because "Semir Online" developed rapidly that Ping'an tasted the sweetness.
It has almost become a consensus in the venture capital industry that investing in Chen Yansen can make money.
Although Ping An already has its own bank, Ma Zheming still wants to get a piece of the pie.
Chen Yansen smiled softly, understanding Ma Zheming's hidden meaning. He then raised his lip and pointed in Ma Wenteng's direction and said, "Boss Ma, are you planning to bet on both sides?"
“Compared to Penguin, I am more optimistic about Sunlink Capital.”
Ma Zheming didn't care and slowly raised his glass.
bite--!
The two wine glasses clinked together.
Chen Yansen did not reject Ma Zheming's request for cooperation.
First, in accordance with regulatory requirements, when establishing a private bank, multiple qualified shareholders must be introduced to maintain the rationality and stability of the bank's equity structure and avoid the situation where a single shareholder has excessive control over the bank.
Introducing Ping An’s funds and resources will not only help meet the regulatory authorities’ review requirements for shareholder qualifications and equity structure, but also enable smoother acquisition of business licenses.
Second, improve fund operation and risk resistance capabilities.
Third, Ma Zheming has extensive operational experience in the banking, securities and insurance industries.
Ma Wenteng, who was drinking with Wang Junjin, chairman of Juneyao, happened to catch a glimpse of this scene. His heart sank, and he immediately understood Ma Zheming's choice.
Xiao Ma Ge sighed slightly, but appeared calm on the surface.
Chen Yansen and Ma Zheming discussed the details of the initial cooperation before returning to the table.
The drinking party didn't end until eleven o'clock in the evening.
Chen Yansen got into a Maybach 62S and sped towards the hotel.
On the way, Zhang Chaoyang called and asked him to go fishing at sea.
Chen Yansen refused without even thinking about it.
What's the point of fishing with an old bachelor in the middle of the night?
No!
…
…
For the next two days, Chen Yansen's daily schedule was basically to go back and forth between the Economic Development Association headquarters, the hotel, or the restaurant and bar, and he was busy all the time.
Fortunately, the trip was not in vain. Senlian Capital obtained a private bank operating license as it wished, and the Banking Association finally agreed to relax restrictions on physical outlets, loan business scope, etc.
As soon as Chen Yansen returned to Shanghai, he called Gao Weilin and handed over all the preliminary preparatory work to him.
Then continue to invest time and energy in the research and development of the mask table.
at the same time.
The third batch of Orange Supermarket stores officially opened. Including the previous number of stores, there are a total of 14 large supermarkets and 59 community life supermarkets, totaling 73 stores.
For a time, Orange Supermarket's business scope completely covered the entire city of Shanghai.
For many young people, going to the vegetable market is bound to lead to some unpleasant experiences.
Vegetable vendors always like to judge the customers based on their taste. When they see a young customer, they will raise the price of green vegetables, which originally cost 2.5 yuan per pound, to 3.5 yuan.
If you buy a pound of shrimp, the bag containing the shrimp and the water inside can take up a full half a pound.
The butcher has mastered the art of switching ribs. You can clearly choose fresh ribs, but when you take them home and smell them, they are completely stinky!
Young people just lack life experience, they are not fools. After being cheated two or three times, they are unwilling to go to the vegetable market again.
Among many supermarkets, the quality and freshness of the dishes in Orange Supermarket are undoubtedly the best.
In addition, common vegetables such as potatoes, cucumbers, and tomatoes are even priced comparable to wholesale prices.
It’s no wonder it’s so popular with customers!
Changtai Plaza, inside a large orange supermarket.
Although it was Monday, the customer flow was still astonishing.
Xu Botao restocked the goods twice in the morning and was so tired that his back and waist ached.
"Taozi, your health is not good. I will stew a black chicken for you later to replenish your body."
Yang Dawei on the side laughed and joked.
After he resigned from 2345 and joined Orange Supermarket, he simply shared a one-bedroom apartment with Xu Botao, with a monthly rent of 2,800 yuan.
One of them slept in the bedroom and the other in the living room. Since they were college classmates, they got along very well.
"Today the cafeteria has mutton and yam soup. I have to drink two more bowls."
As Xu Botao spoke, he rubbed his lower back.
"You don't even have a girlfriend yet. If you keep going like this, you might not even be able to pay your taxes in the future!"
Yang Dawei said this with a somewhat nasty smile on his face.
"Go away! I'm very strong! Unlike you, you have an erection and an impotence!" Xu Botao counterattacked.
"It's time to go eat first."
Yang Dawei didn't care and pulled Xu Botao out of the supermarket.
Kuaipao Canteen is also on the B1 floor. When they rushed over, the restaurant was already packed with customers.
The two of them were used to it, so they picked up their plates at the entrance and lined up at the end of the line.
In July, the sun was scorching outside and the heat was rolling, but the air conditioning in the cafeteria was turned on very high, and you would feel refreshed as soon as you entered.
Xu Botao ordered a bowl of mutton and yam soup, a serving of cold beef, a serving of stir-fried pork slices with chayote, and a free bowl of rice.
With a "beep" sound!
The cashier took his meal card and deducted 13.2 yuan.
A customer standing behind him looked at the dishes on Xu Botao's plate, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
If it were him, he would have to pay 23 yuan.
"The employee benefits at Senlian Capital are really good. They say they get a 500 yuan meal allowance, but the actual purchasing power is over 800 yuan."
Several guests nearby couldn't help but sigh.
Senlian Capital rose extremely fast. In just four years, it became the largest private enterprise in China, with high salaries and good benefits. Many undergraduates went to work in Kuaipao Canteen, Mixue Ice City or Orange Supermarket.
"This mutton is so tender and boneless, I never get tired of it."
Xu Botao ate a piece of lamb chop, drank a sip of soup, and muttered to himself.
“Do you know why it’s so cheap?”
Yang Dawei asked back.
"Are you trying to put on airs in front of the senior employees? Didn't we talk about this in last week's procurement class? The company built a slaughterhouse in Abyssinia and buys in local cattle, sheep, and poultry for processing."
Xu Botao rolled his eyes at Yang Dawei and said unhappily.
Orange Supermarket has its own internal study classes, especially for college students like Xu Botao and Yang Dawei, who will be included in the targeted training system.
As long as you are outstanding enough in work performance and learning assessments, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to team leader or supervisor position.
"Tsk! You started working a month earlier than me. Wait for me, believe it or not, I will be promoted to team leader first?"
Yang Dawei grinned and said.
At the same time.
Abyssinia, Oromia region.
A beef and mutton processing factory called Orange Meat Industry is located in the northwest corner of the suburbs and covers an area of 40,000 square meters.
There is a larger piece of land next to it, which is at least 100,000 square meters. There are plans to build a larger production workshop here in the future. After completion, it will be able to slaughter 1 million sheep and 600,000 cattle every year.
Slaughtered, cut, packaged, quick-frozen, placed in freezers, and then transported to the port of Doraleh in Djibouti.
Smooth journey all the way!
Because of this factory, Legji, the ruler of the Omoro tribe, owns 25% of the shares and dividends. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be seeking his own death.
Qin Chengguo was sitting in the security studio, holding a Type 56 submachine gun, and was bored as he browsed Mimo.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Isn't this too big? It's unscientific!"
Qin Chengguo muttered softly.
Two months ago, he applied to join Fengxuan Security Company, but he didn't realize that his job was actually in Abyssinia.
Only after he passed the interview did he know that he was going to Africa.
I wanted to give up, but when I thought about the monthly income of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, I gritted my teeth and took a day-long flight to Oromia State.
In the first month, we became familiar with the operation of the 56 submachine gun, AK47, 80 general-purpose machine gun, SVD Dragunov rifle and RPG rocket launcher, as well as various offensive and defensive tactics.
Qin Chengguo was so scared that he wanted to resign and return home on the spot!
However, after one month of training, he was assigned to work as a security guard at a slaughterhouse.
Isn't this just nonsense?
Whose security guard needs to learn how to fire an RPG?
Is this the security guard?
But the salary is really ridiculously high. Apart from the fact that life is a bit boring and vegetables are too expensive, there is nothing else that I can't adapt to.
"Beep beep beep!" A short horn sounded.
Qin Chengguo raised his head and saw a cold chain truck slowly approaching from thirty meters away.
This is the factory's delivery truck. The driver and security guard are all Omoros.
Just as Qin Chengguo was about to open the door, a black shadow as thick as an arm hit the truck.
“Boom——!”
The deafening explosion instantly ripped through the tranquility of the suburbs! The cold chain truck's compartment was blown to pieces, and metal sheets flew more than ten meters away.
