Rebirth: From catering group to world’s richest man

“Okay, well done. Lin Shen knew that he should be satisfied,”We must continue to hold stocks in the secondary market.” But it’s best to do it more secretly”

“Boss, I know this clearly, don’t worry.”Ouyang Qianyi knows Lin Shen’s routine very well.

“What about the other things I asked you to do? Lin Shen asked

“Well, as requested by my boss, I went to Windmill Country and found the company you mentioned called ASML.

This company makes semiconductors and its products cover almost all semiconductor technologies, such as deposition furnaces and photolithography.

, ion implantation, chip and wire bonding machines and various packaging technologies.

As you might expect, this company is very short of money now, extremely short of money, because the research and development of semiconductor technology they are doing is like a bottomless pit.

“Ouyang Qianyi explained.

“oh. As you can imagine. Lin Shen said thoughtfully.

ASML will be the most powerful lithography machine manufacturer in the world in the future. In the field of high-end lithography machine production, ASML occupies 90% of the market share.

But now, ASML is still far from having a future. So awesome.

In fact, before 2004, ASML was not that strong. It was far inferior to the two major photolithography machine manufacturers, Canon and Nikon. The controlling shareholder Philips even continued to sell its shares, and finally sold all its shares. It was clear, because he was not optimistic about ASML.

But the reason why ASML became so powerful later was that it widely accepted investment from other companies, such as Intel, Samsung, TSMC, etc., and secondly, it was also by chance that ASML chose to invest after 2000. They chose a research direction that was completely different from other semiconductor companies. Nikon and Canon chose lithography machines that use light as the medium, and ASML began to develop immersion lithography machines that use water as the medium.

However, I did not expect that ASML got it right and actually succeeded. His research was successful.

Not only was the research successful, but the immersion lithography machine using water as the medium had higher yield and accuracy.

From then on, ASML began to surpass the two giants, Nikon and Canon, and became the leader in the field of lithography machines. Well-deserved first place, and its market value exceeds that of Philips, Airbus and BMW combined.

These past events are described in the book”Lithography Giant: The Rise of ASML” by Windmill Country writer Reni Rejimek. They were all described in detail. Lin Shen could not remember when he had read this book in his previous life. Now, the content of this book was very clear in his mind. But when he had read this book, Lin Shen could not remember it. But I have no impression at all. Have I never read this book?

“But it was precisely because they were short of money that when I offered to invest in them, they did not refuse.”Ouyang Qianyi said with a smile

“oh? How many? Lin Shen said a little excitedly

“US$1.5 billion, 10 shares%”Ouyang Qianyi said

“Okay, no loss.” Lin Shen said.

Lin Shen really feels that it is not a loss. This is definitely much more cost-effective than investing later.

In fact, if Lin Shen does not invest now, ASML will have no choice but to go public for financing.

ASML will have various plans later Due to lack of money, he was not even allowed to offer 25% of his shares to companies such as Intel for joint investment.

Therefore, now that the company was short of money, Lin Shen took the opportunity to buy shares. In the future, Philips would sell off its shares many times, and Lin Shen would do it. Let Ouyang Qianyi try to get all the shares.

In this way, Zulong Technology on his side will research semiconductor technology and invest in ASML. A two-pronged approach will achieve better results.

“Then what? Lin Shen asked

“Then?”Ouyang Qianyi was stunned for a moment.

“What about the optical lens company I mentioned called Carl Zeiss? Lin Shen said

“That company from Hans Country? Don’t worry, boss, I spent 300 million US dollars to buy the other party’s shares in this company. Now we are also one of the shareholders of Carl Zeiss. This company has been listed, and the shares were purchased from small shareholders at a considerable premium.”Ouyang Qianyi said.

To study lithography machines, the lens of the lithography machine is also very important. This is why the other two lithography machine giants are Nikon and Canon, because these two companies started with optical technology. , the public generally knows that these two companies produce cameras, but they don’t know that the photolithography machine technology of these two companies is also very good.

Lin Shen holds shares in Carl Zeiss in order to increase his shares in ASML in the future. When the time comes, there will be more chips, because later ASML will not accept investment from others at will. If it wants to accept investment from others, it must be an industry-related enterprise that can promote each other, and not everyone can invest. Of course

, Lin Shen can also use Zulong Technology to invest, and everything will be discussed later. Just when

Lin Shen was about to continue speaking, Ouyang Qianyi said first:”Boss, I know you want to ask about ARM again. To be honest, this company is very sensitive to my identity and is unwilling to accept my investment.”

“oh. What about buying from other small and medium-sized shareholders?”Lin Shen said.

ARM is the world’s leading semiconductor intellectual property provider in the future.

It is located in Cambridge, the country where the sun never sets.

More than 95% of smartphones and tablets in the world use the ARM architecture.

Every year, ARM-licensed chips are sold.

Tens of billions, but this company has just been established for 4 years and is still groping and has not found its own development path.

It is unexpected that such a recently established company does not accept investment from Lin Shen.

It is quite strange.

of

“Boss, I asked you to guess again. Although they do not accept investment, Bahrain Bank holds shares of this company. Bahrain Bank encountered a black swan at the beginning of this year and declared bankruptcy. It sold its shares in ARM and asked me to buy them at a premium. arrive.”Ouyang Qianyi said proudly

“Okay, okay, Ouyang, you did a great job, far exceeding my expectations. Lin Shen said happily

“Boss, in the past eight or nine months, I first bought Yahoo and Apple for you in the Stars and Stripes Kingdom, and then traveled around Europe for you. You have to reward me well.”Ouyang Qianyi said with a smile

“I need to reward you well. Let’s reward you with a villa. You can choose any villa in Repulse Bay at any price.”Lin Shen said. (Thanks 176×××2372 for the high reward, thank you 157×××3988 tips, thanks 158×××0656 reward)
