Two hundred billion, this figure really surprised everyone present. Even Xiao Ma and Lao Ma were a little uneasy.
Impossible, we don't have that much money to give you. Sun Shu immediately raised his voice and said.
Two hundred billion, not twenty million. It is too risky to pour all this money into such a project with unknown risks. Xue Bing said.
After Xue Bing finished speaking, Liu Qixiang said to Wu Hao and Lao Ma and Xiao Ma: "We have already invested too much in this project, and we don't have any extra money to continue investing."
Looking at some people who were overreacting, Wu Hao immediately said: "Don't get excited, everyone, two hundred billion may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not much.
And for us, there are many ways to solve it.”
After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone became silent and turned to look at him. He said there was a way, so let's listen to what he said first.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wu Hao smiled and said: "I believe everyone knows the details about the lithography machine industry or the chip industry, so I won't go into details here.
Everyone should know that the chip industry is a high-input, high-output, and high-return industry. If you want high returns, you must invest heavily in the early stage. Whether it is Helan Company, Benji Electric or S Star, in photolithography
Huge amounts of money have been invested in machine technology and chip manufacturing technology. A company's annual R&D investment alone can reach tens of billions. Even during the development process of some EUV lithography machines, they burned down within a few years.
Hundreds of billions of dollars.
Compared with them, the 100 billion we invested is not low at all. Calculated, it does not even reach their annual R&D expenses.
Secondly, the chip industry is a winner-takes-all industry. In other words, only winners have a market. Currently, all high-process lithography machines around the world, especially those with processes below 7 nanometers, are monopolized by Helan. It can be said that
It occupies 100% of the world's market.
What we want to do now is to break through the other party's monopoly and tear off a piece of fat from the other party's mouth. This will inevitably cause a violent reaction from the other party, and no one is willing to share what they have in their mouth with the other party.
It is foreseeable that we will definitely be targeted in the future. This is conceivable. But don’t worry, because we have our own advantages. First of all, we have a huge domestic market, which is our natural reliance. With our huge
In the domestic market, we will be able to remain invincible. Secondly, several of our companies also have needs in this area, which also means that we will also become an important customer of this project.
With the support of enterprises like us, this project and this company will not fail so easily.
Now, we have passed the most important stage. We have developed our own 5-nanometer EUV lithography machine. It can be said that we are already half successful. What we have to do next is to improve the entire production chain so that our
The photolithography machine is put into production as soon as possible.
Moreover, we have to fight for as much time as possible before the other party reacts and takes action, so we must race against time. Therefore, funds must be received as soon as possible so that the entire project can move forward smoothly."
Having said this, Wu Hao paused for a moment, then looked at everyone and continued: "Two hundred billion seems to be a lot, but when we divide it among the several families, it is actually not that much.
In addition, I think we can seek relevant support in this regard. The country has been committed to investing and supporting lithography machines and chips. Now that our project has made significant progress, I think we can apply for some special fund support in this regard.
, in addition, supportive loans can also be appropriately considered.
These two together can help us solve a considerable part of the funds."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Xue Bing shook his head and said: "It's too idealistic. It is indeed a good choice to seek relevant fund support. You can try it, but don't have high hopes. The relevant special support funds are just that.
Even if our project makes significant progress, I'm afraid not much can be allocated to us. Let's make an optimistic estimate. I think a billion yuan is enough for us.
There is a lot of special support fund, 180 billion, but there is no reason why so many people are interested in it. There is so much food for everyone, so it is probably very good to be able to share it with us.
As for supportive loans, I think we can probably get around 10 billion supportive loans in this regard, but no more will be enough. Now that the central bank has tightened market control, major banks have stricter controls on housing loans, and prevent
and reduce bad debt rates.
Although the development prospects of our project are very good, the loans we can obtain are very limited."
Everyone nodded in agreement with Xue Bing's words. Although it poured cold water on Wu Hao, what he said was correct, and it was indeed the reality.
In this regard, Wu Hao was not discouraged, but continued with a smile: "Then there is another way, and that is to attract investment. We have now developed a 5-nanometer high-process EUV lithography machine. I think whether it is
Private capital, state-owned investment and state-owned assets, and even relevant banks will be very interested in this.
As long as we are willing, I think they will be very happy to join in, and the funding gap will definitely be solved very well.
Of course, this also means that everyone has to give up reducing their shareholdings. But there is nothing wrong with this. You don't need to spend any more money, and you can make the market bigger, so that future profits will naturally increase accordingly.
"
After listening to his words, the conference room fell into silence again. Everyone frowned and thought, weighing the pros and cons. This is indeed a very good way to attract investment to solve the problem of lack of funds. In fact, this is also a common practice.
Many companies in the industry initially did this.
In this way, they no longer need to invest any more money. But what follows is naturally the dilution of the shares they hold. The money is still so much, and it has not decreased after dilution, but the shares they hold
Some shareholding ratios are reduced, which also means that future dividend income will be reduced, which is also a disguised form of meat cutting.
So faced with such a choice, everyone naturally fell into entanglement and troubles.
Facing the thoughtful people, Xiao Ma smiled and said: "If everyone is willing, we can pay for some more, and that's no problem."
After hearing Brother Xiao Ma's words, everyone looked at Brother Xiao Ma in unison, with that look as if they wanted to kill Brother Xiao Ma. What Brother Xiao Ma means is very simple, that is, your tone is giving up the shares to outsiders.
, might as well give it to him.
Anyway, for them, there is plenty of money. They have made so much hot money from the Internet, and they don’t know where to spend it.
