Chapter 252 Conspiring for a Lithography Machine Enterprise

If Wang Fan really wants to make a lithography machine, there is no way he can buy an in-stream lithography machine company.

Their technology may not be very advanced, but the relevant industrial base, experienced technical personnel, etc. must be strong.

In this way, relying on their complete foundation and Wang Fan's black technology, they will definitely be able to make a very advanced lithography machine, even surpassing ASML.

However, there are not many such enterprises.

After all, lithography is a money-burning industry. As long as there is not enough profit, it will definitely lose everything.

With ASML's near-monopoly rise, even Nikon and Canon, the world's second and third lithography machine giants, cannot hold back.

Despite the support of the chaebol, Canon still withdrew from the field of high-end lithography machines and completely gave up.

And Nikon is only barely surviving with the strong support of the Mitsui Zaibatsu.

There is only one ASML, and it is living a glorious life.

Still under the premise that the three semiconductor giants Intel, Samsung, and TSMC are jointly supported by a series of European and American consortiums, they barely maintain profitability.

It can even be said that ASML in the Netherlands was jointly built by several countries.

It can be seen that the research and development, upgrading, and manufacturing of lithography machines are all high investment and low output!
This also explains why the Huaxia government has given great support and other aspects have been greatly improved, but the lithography machine is still at a relatively primitive level.

It's not that Huaxia companies are not working hard enough, but that the development of this industry is really too difficult, the technical requirements are too high, and the basic requirements such as equipment supply are also very high!

Judging from the current situation, if we can acquire Canon's lithography machine department, or hold Nikon, and add Wang Fan's technical support, we will definitely be able to directly enter the 10nm or even 7nm era and surpass ASML in minutes!
But this is basically tantamount to dreaming.

Before, Nikon and Canon would rather starve to death and go bankrupt than to blatantly sell the most advanced lithography machines to China.

It can be seen that this is a matter of principle. Under this standpoint, if Wang Fan acquires Canon's lithography machine department or takes a controlling stake in Nikon, even if the price is high and the parties are willing, he will still be subject to criticism from various parties in Europe, America and Japan. If you try your best to be right, there is no chance of winning at all!
Of course, Nikon and Canon cannot be acquired by Mortal Technology, unless they exchange a large amount of Mortal Technology shares!
But this is even more impossible. If there is no technology derivative system and cannot be opened, Wang Fan may have to give up part of his shares in exchange for development funds.

But nowadays, there is no shortage of technology in mortal technology, and the big deal is to exchange some unimportant technologies for funds for development.

After all, investment institutions are by no means philanthropists, but careerists.

As the founder, Jobs was kicked out of Apple that year, which is a lesson from the past.

Wang Fan wants to acquire a lithography machine company, which is not only impossible for Nikon and Canon, but also for other foreign brands.

As long as Lao Mi is around, even the best things can be messed up.

Therefore, Wang Fan's goal can only fall on domestic lithography machine companies, such as Shanghai Microelectronics, although their technology, level, and even equipment are all behind the world's first-class level.

But feasible.

Although it is not easy, the first is the price issue.

Lithography machine companies, even if they lag behind, have a frighteningly high market value, especially the country's great investment over the years, which is definitely not a small number.

But problems that can be solved with money are basically not considered problems.

Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future.If it’s not enough now, you can make it up!

What really makes Wang Fan powerless are the major shareholders or interest groups behind Shanghai Microelectronics.

Not only private capital, but also state investment!

As long as ZF doesn't let go, this matter is basically useless.

However, Mortal Technology starts from the basics and builds the entire lithography machine industry chain, which is even more difficult, especially in terms of time, Wang Fan can't afford to wait.

Therefore, the final solution can only be the acquisition of Huaxia lithography machine companies such as Shanghai Microelectronics.

It's just that Ruhe let the government feel at ease to hand over Shanghai Microelectronics to Mortal Technology and sell it to Wang Fan. This is the biggest problem.

After all, the Huaxia government attaches great importance to the semiconductor industry and the self-production of lithography machines, and even treats it as a national strategy!
It is impossible to casually hand over such a key enterprise to a private company.

In this way, Wang Fan can only win Shanghai Microelectronics by improving the strength and influence of Mortal Technology, cooperating with the Huaxia government, and doing multi-faceted transactions.

However, this is all in the future. The current mortal technology simply does not have such ability and strength.

What we are doing now is to test water cooperation with the government at other levels for mutual benefit and win-win results.

When the time is right in the future, Wang Fan will naturally win a potential lithography machine company like Shanghai Microelectronics.

As for the technical investment in Shanghai Microelectronics, although it is feasible, Wang Fan does not want to do so.

Once this happens, the interests of all parties are intertwined, especially with the official influence, it is difficult for Mortal Technology to have enough right to speak, let alone a controlling stake.

That might become a dowry for others, Wang Fan is not that generous.

He is very clear that the status of private enterprises and Huaxia state-owned enterprises is different.

As a senior said, private enterprises are barefoot, and Huaxia state-owned enterprises are wearing high heels.

They are born with different identities, not to mention fair cooperation, equality and mutual benefit, and it is good not to be eaten up.

Therefore, Wang Fan would rather wait and act when the time is right, rather than being anxious now and regretting in the future.

However, when the zf representative comes, he can convey his thoughts tactfully and check the other party's tone.

At this moment, Song Qian knocked on the door and came in, her face was a little unhappy, she was obviously angry.

"What's wrong?" Wang Fan asked.

"Meet a gangster organization." Song Qian said angrily.

Wang Fan instantly understood that it must be the patent extortion organization that came to ask for money, Blue Ocean!

It turned out that when Rudolph returned to the hotel, he planned to come to Mortal Technology the next day, but he thought of the boss's instructions, so he rushed over that day.

Get things done as soon as possible, and then complete the transfer transaction, then he can also leave a good impression of being vigorous and resolute in front of the boss.

So, Rudolph put down his luggage, and immediately rushed over with the folder.

As a professional extortion organization, Blue Ocean is naturally fearless, even giants like Apple and Google still don't care.

If you can ask for money, you will get money, if you don’t give it, you will sue directly, and it will be sued on a global scale.

In the end, the giant was forced to compromise, bow his head, and give money!
