Open business day-to-day

Chapter 495 Nanomaterials
Recently, Lin Rui has two more acquisition targets, Supor and KUKA Robotics.

As a leading home appliance company in China, Supor has a good brand reputation, especially in the field of small kitchen appliances.

The current market value is just over RMB 300 billion, which is a good goal in terms of brand and channel.

Lin Rui intends to acquire it, and use the strong technical support of the Xingkong Research Institute to enter the field of home appliances and consumer electronics against Bumet, Gree, and Haier.

This matter is currently progressing relatively smoothly, entrusted to CITIC and Morgan Stanley, and there will be a clear result in the second half of this year.

Another acquisition target, the German KUKA Robotics Company, Lin Rui had set his sights on earlier.

As one of the world's top four industrial robot companies, KUKA's strength goes without saying. If it can get the blessing of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute under the Starry Sky Research Institute, it will be even more powerful.

Moreover, the main customers of KUKA industrial robots are the world's top automakers including GM, Ford, Porsche, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari...

The smart manufacturing plant of Jihu New Energy Vehicles uses a large number of KUKA industrial robots.

Not only in the automotive industry, but also in medical device manufacturing and logistics sorting, KUKA has also occupied a large market.

At present, KUKA's annual sales are more than 30 billion euros, and its profit is only more than 1 million euros.

The market value is not too high, about 30 billion euros.

After the overall acquisition, even if there is a certain premium, it will not exceed 45 billion euros, which is a very suitable target.

However, I heard that Midea is also eyeing KUKA and is trying its best to acquire it. This is not a small trouble, and it may raise the acquisition price.

For the acquisition of KUKA, Lin Rui entrusted Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank to operate.

Lin Rui, the energy of these two companies, has seen it before and has cooperated many times.The subsidiaries of WeBank Payment in Germany and the United States, both companies are joint ventures, and WeBank Payment has been unimpeded in the two countries, which also proves their strength in their respective countries.

I believe there will be a good result for the acquisition of KUKA.

……

In addition, Carrefour has recently released rumors that it intends to sell its stores in China and withdraw from the Chinese market.

It has attracted the attention of many companies. It is said that China Resources Vanguard and RT-Mart are all interested and may make a move.

Huizhong Mall is also very interested in this. With the fierce competition in the e-commerce industry and the market becoming more and more saturated, all major e-commerce companies are exploring new business models.

Combining online and offline, using online malls and offline stores to provide one-stop shopping services is a good way.

This way, Taobao can’t play well. Their main focus is cheapness. The products in offline stores must be more expensive than online. If the prices cannot be unified, they cannot be combined.

Huizhong Mall focuses on quality and authentic products. Users are not too sensitive to prices. Online and offline prices can be unified. Instead, it is suitable for combining online and offline to create a number of experience stores and brand stores.

Carrefour's experience in operating offline stores is what Huizhong Mall needs. If the price is right, Lin Rui plans to step in and buy it.

Combine with Huizhong Mall to explore a new retail business model.

Lin Rui has sent staff to follow up on this matter, and I believe the result will be good.

……

On this day, Lin Rui participated in the foundation laying ceremony of Xinghe Hospital in a low-key manner. This private hospital covering an area of ​​3.6 square kilometers was built by Lin Rui with an investment of nearly 300 billion and according to the world's top standards.

It's not that he has an idea about opening a hospital and entering the private medical industry.

As the richest man in the world, there are always some things that are not convenient for the outside world to know. For example, in the future, children's childbirth and medical problems cannot go to public hospitals.

At this time, it is much more convenient to have a private hospital with good enough technology and enough privacy.

Of course, with such a large hospital and such a large investment, it is impossible to serve only their family, and it will be opened in the future, but the fees will be very expensive, and it will only be open to a small number of people.

Not only this hospital, Xingkong Technology Group has registered a wholly-owned subsidiary named Xinghe Medical, and this Xinghe Hospital is placed under Xinghe Medical.

Next, Galaxy Medical will acquire or invest in a top private hospital in Hong Kong, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, not to make money, but to provide better and more private medical services to all of Lin Rui's family members around the world.

……

The time soon came to March NO.12 again, and Lin Rui once again had a chance to consult the system.

He considered for a long time and decided to use this consulting opportunity in nanomaterials.

If we want to talk about the shortcomings and weaknesses of Xingkong Technology Group and the domestic technology industry, chip and semiconductor technology are hurdles that cannot be overcome.

Lin Rui used up an opportunity for system consultation the year before last, and the system pointed out a brand new semiconductor development system, which has more potential and superiority than the existing system.

It is semiconductor nanowire technology.

For this reason, Lin Rui established the Semiconductor Nano Research Institute, and last year also developed the semiconductor manufacturing equipment of Vega 1.0.

However, at this point in development, the world's 20 years of accumulation in the development of semiconductor nanowire technology has been exhausted, and it can only be developed by itself.

The reason why so many institutions are blocked here and cannot advance is mainly due to nanomaterials.

As long as the nanomaterial production technology can advance a step further, the Vega 1.0 semiconductor manufacturing equipment can immediately shorten the technological gap with the world's most advanced lithography machines.

Now the biggest stumbling block is nanomaterials.

At the same time, the importance of nanomaterials is not limited to the semiconductor industry, but is extremely important to many industries.

If a breakthrough can be made in this area, it will definitely be a pioneering work, and it will have a certain role in promoting the development of global science and technology.

What Lin Rui is most concerned about now is whether the system will give an answer.

As we all know, according to the rules of the system, the questions consulted are within the known range of human civilization.

Now human beings have a very simple grasp of nanotechnology, will the system give an answer?
He was lucky, as the question was asked, the system did provide measures for further research on nanomaterials.

There is no exaggeration as imagined, and it barely meets his requirements.

Lin Rui also wanted to understand at this time, the system's answer did follow the rules.

Nowadays, people are researching nanomaterials in various ways, with all kinds of strange things, and a lot of things, and they don't know which way is right and which way is wrong.

Which one is the dead end?Which one is the Tongtian Avenue!

The answer given by the system may have been proposed by someone in the world long ago, but there are too many paths, and no one has studied it in depth along this path.

Lin Rui, who has been consulted by the system, has the biggest advantage over others in that he knows which way is the right way, and he doesn't need countless trial and error to find the right way.

Compared with others, he saves countless trial and error costs, which is the biggest advantage given to him by the system consulting function.

Although he still needs to send people to study all the technologies, this is already a hack.
