Super Dimension Technology Era

However, the New York Stock Exchange, which felt something was wrong, immediately launched a comprehensive investigation into the acquisition.

Obviously in this case, someone is obviously operating behind the scenes.

As for who? Whoever is the biggest benefit recipient is very likely to be the manipulator behind the scenes. HSBC and Think Society are included in the investigation targets.

Regulatory arm of the New York Stock Exchange.

"Frank, is this your investigation report?" James Slow, the supervisor in charge of the investigation, asked with a gloomy face.

The bearded Frank shook his head helplessly: "Mr. James, these people have no way to investigate. Tens of thousands of accounts are registered in the offshore area. We can't ask the offshore area to hand over customer data!"

This is the drawback of financial openness, coupled with the existence of offshore areas, resulting in many lawless places in the world.

Although the New York Stock Exchange is investigating this matter, without evidence, they have nothing to do with HSBC and Think Society.

James asked unwillingly: "Can we investigate part of it? We only need to prove that these accounts are related to HSBC and Think Society, and we can open a case to investigate this matter."

"We have investigated through some internal relationships, but the situation is very unsatisfactory. These accounts are not only registered in the offshore area, but also cross each other." Frank replied with a shrug.

"Fake Squid!" James was very angry. He knew clearly that someone was behind the scenes but was powerless. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

The matter eventually came to nothing.

Since the proportion of SMIC's outstanding shares has been significantly lower than 25%, that is, the shareholding ratio of major shareholders has exceeded 75%.

This situation directly triggers the mandatory delisting mechanism of the New York Stock Exchange. SMIC must apply to the New York Stock Exchange for delisting and liquidation within the specified time.

June 14th.

Many people woke up one night and suddenly found that today's news had been published by SMIC and Think Society.

As time went by, the whole country knew that Sisishe had forcibly acquired SMIC.

In Jiangcheng, Zhao Jun and Li Weiguang, who were working hard, already knew about SMIC's sudden change.

"What should we do now?" Li Weiguang asked in confusion.

Zhao Jun was silent for a while: "Stabilize the internal situation first. The situation is not too bad yet."

Although there are a lot of discussions within SMIC about Sisishe's controlling stake in SMIC, everyone is thinking of the good news. After all, being controlled by Sisishe is better than being controlled by Datang Telecom.

Moreover, Shenguang Instruments, a subsidiary of Think Society, is a company with top-level lithography machine technology. SMIC now finds it easier to obtain lithography opportunities in the future.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. After being controlled by Sisi She, it is estimated that it will be difficult to purchase advanced foreign equipment in the future.

the other side.

Cai Zhixing rushed to Xiangjiang and completed the handover of shares with HSBC Bank.

Gao Zhiyuan came to SMIC's headquarters in Jiangcheng, and Siweishe immediately held a general shareholders' meeting in Jiangcheng in the name of SMIC's largest shareholder.

Inside the conference room.

Management members Zhao Jun, Li Weiguang, Jiang Shangzhou and others were all present.

Among the major shareholders, Datang Telecom, China Investment Fund, Shanghai Industrial and TSMC all sent representatives to the scene.

Gao Zhiyuan projected the 50.36% stock certificate held by Shenguang Instrument Company on the curtain behind him, and then said with a smile:

"Shenguang Instruments has officially become the largest shareholder of SMIC. I would like to ask all shareholders and managers for your advice in the future."

Everyone had different expressions. The representatives of China Investment Fund were all smiles, the representatives of Shanghai Industrial and TSMC were calm, and the representatives of Datang Telecom were livid.

As for the management, I don’t know what to say about it.

Gao Zhiyuan continued: "As a major shareholder, I announce several decisions on behalf of SMIC."

Everyone else's ears pricked up.

"First, in principle, the management of the original SMIC will not be adjusted, and Shenguang Instruments will only dispatch financial supervisors."

Regarding this issue, Zhao Jun, Li Weiguang, Jiang Shangzhou and others breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Shenguang Instruments did not create a problem for the emperor and the courtiers.

"Second, Vice President Jiang."

"Yes." Jiang Shangzhou responded quickly.

"You are responsible for SMIC's delisting from the New York Stock Exchange. Are there any questions?"

"no problem."

Neither the management nor other shareholders can do anything about this matter. Shenguang Instruments is the largest shareholder, and SMIC has triggered the delisting mechanism, so delisting is a foregone conclusion.

"Third, SMIC's original plan to develop 12-nanometer chip technology remains unchanged."

"Fourth, gradually adjust the business scope of SMIC. While maintaining overseas markets, we must also actively explore the domestic market."

After one meeting, SMIC has become the voice of Shenguang Instruments.

As soon as the Datang Telecom representative meeting ended, he walked away with an ugly expression. After all, the peach he had reserved was suddenly picked by someone else, and anyone would be furious.

Inside SMIC's factory.

Zhao Jun, Li Weiguang and others took Gao Zhiyuan and his party to visit the chip production line, especially the production line that was experimenting with the 12-nanometer process.

Many engineers or employees secretly looked at Gao Zhiyuan and his party.

Zhao Jun pointed to the rows of machines in the clean room and said, "Mr. Gao, this is the 12-nanometer production line we are developing."

“What are the main challenges in the development process?”

Li Weiguang on the side thought for a while and replied: "The main problem is the adjustment of various equipment in the production line."

Li Weiguang then listed a lot of problems. For example, foreign equipment, parameters and software cannot be modified. Once modifications are made, engineers from foreign manufacturers must be invited.

As for domestic equipment, there are constant small problems, especially the software system, which is a mess, with malfunctions and loopholes appearing every day.

Gao Zhiyuan recorded these issues one by one.

"Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li, you continue to develop the process of 12nm chips. If there are any equipment and software problems, Shenguang Instruments will find a solution."

Although Zhao Jun and others were not too impressed by Gao Zhiyuan's statement, Shenguang Instruments did not interfere with their management, which was already a great honor.

Zhao Jun smiled dryly and replied: "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for your concern."

"I won't bother you here. If you have any questions, call or email me."

"no problem."

After Gao Zhiyuan inspected SMIC, he immediately returned to Shanmei headquarters.

And Cai Zhixing had just returned from Xiangjiang.

The two came to the small villa together and reported the relevant situation to Huang Mingzhe, especially the problems encountered by SMIC in the chip process research and development process. Gao Zhiyuan came along one by one.

Huang Mingzhe certainly knows some of the domestic situation. In terms of industrial software, professional software, and industrial operating systems, the country can be said to be completely blank.

Many systems are purchased directly or use products that have been eliminated from foreign countries.

It seemed that it was necessary to integrate related industries. Huang Mingzhe expressed some of his ideas and discussed them with Gao Zhiyuan and Cai Zhixing for more than an hour.

Then the two of them hurriedly left the small villa to prepare for relevant actions.
