It would be hard to imagine if it was placed in more than ten years, Asmail, which dominates the global lithography machine market, actually came over and begged you to buy their latest products.

Dream, even if you give me an extra 500 million or a billion dollars, you have to wait for me obediently, when will the old man Asmail take time out and adjust his mood to the best, let's talk about it.

If you want to daydream, you can stay where it is cool.

The problem is that such an arrogant Asmael is the one who broke through the EUV lithography machine, in the nineties, when the DUV lithography machine was popular, in the face of Japan's Nikon and Canon, Asmael was just the younger brother who was pressed to the ground and rubbed casually by these two giants.

The mainstream market in Europe and the United States has no place for him, so he has no choice but to find another way, focusing on emerging markets such as East Asia and Southeast Asia, and using his own reserve price and excellent service to win more customers, so as to maintain the normal operation of Asmail.

Because of this, their heads in the Asia-Pacific region are almost flying everywhere in South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, as long as they learn that a certain company wants to enter semiconductors and has the idea of producing chips, they don't care whether it can be done or not, and they just rush over to sell it.

In a word, try to get under the noses of Canon and Nikon as much as possible.

Luan Heping is of course welcome Asmail's initiative to sell, after all, he is worried about how to get the equipment when he is ready to enter the semiconductor.

However, Luan Heping is still more inclined to Japan's Nikon and Canon in his heart, the reason is very simple, Asmael can only provide lithography machines, other etching machines, hydrogen fluoride and other equipment and materials have no way, while Japan's Nikon and Canon can provide one-stop services based on Luan Heping's electronic production plants in this regard.

Although this will inevitably be slaughtered by various Japanese manufacturers in terms of cost, the maintenance and maintenance behind it is also more worry-free, after all, the entire line is Japanese, and the replacement of accessories and daily adjustments are naturally convenient.

After all, Luan Heping wants to build a semiconductor production plant instead of Lego toys that he hides at home to play, and he has to think about many more things than ordinary people.

But the price of 30 million yuan given by Asmail made Luan Heping tempted, there is no way that Nikon and Canon similar products will cost at least 80 million US dollars, and they may not be able to get the goods, not to mention that they will have to wait more than half a year to get the number, if they are in a hurry, Nikon and Canon are not incompatible, with an additional 20 million to 50 million US dollars, and the two companies will improve the sorting sequence of products according to the situation, adjust the enthusiasm of employees, and strive to get the goods one to two months in advance for customers with additional payments.

There is no way, who makes Nikon and Canon the rulers of this field, how to reflect their dominance and presence if they are not arrogant.

But in this way, it is not too friendly to Luan Heping, after all, the money in his hands adds up to less than 700 million yuan, and if he really wants to purchase lithography machines from Japan, he can drain all the funds in his hands.

But if you don't buy it, what if the Japanese manufacturers know about it and make it difficult for other equipment and raw materials!

Lao Luan, who was in a dilemma, had no choice but to go to Zhuang Jianye, who let the leading venture capital fund of Tengfei Group be the major shareholder of his semiconductor production plant, since he couldn't solve it himself, let this matter bother the real boss.

Zhuang Jianye also had a headache after learning about the situation, but this kind of opportunity for the overlord to take the initiative to come to the door in the future will not be there this shop in this village, if he doesn't press Asmail's head and slaughter it, it won't be long before Asmael carries a knife and bleeds himself in various fancy ways.

In this case, Zhuang Jianye's idea is very simple, first slaughter Asmail, as for the possibility that Japanese manufacturers will be dissatisfied and deliberately made difficult in procurement, Zhuang Jianye has no choice but to open his mind and let Little Japan ravage all kinds of fancies.

Who makes himself have no core technology in the semiconductor industry, don't think that you can have both, in this case, you can only take a long-term view, and strive for the opportunity period that appeared on the eve of the semiconductor revolution, and lay the foundation for the future.

As for being slaughtered by Japanese manufacturers, it is nothing more than spending a little more money, although there are a lot of them at the moment, but compared with the future, more than ten or two billion dollars is nothing at all.

So Zhuang Jianye gritted his teeth, took out 200 million US dollars from the profits of the Iridium plan that Tengfei Group had just obtained, and went to various ministries and financial institutions in the capital with his old face, and then went south to the Special Economic Zone to go around China Merchants Bank and its institutions in Hong Kong City, and raised 870 million US dollars for Luan Heping to deal with the huge funding gap that may arise.

As the so-called money is a strong man's courage, with such a large amount of funds, Luan Heping's confidence instantly hardened, and then the contact with the vice president of ASMAEL Asia Pacific was not weak and hesitant, and he threw a large order of 12 PAS5500-type DUV lithography machines.

Not only that, but it is also preparing to invest 100 million US dollars in Asmail, hoping to become a long-term partner.

For this reason, Luan Heping's electronics factory does not need Asmail's dividends, but only hopes to be able to give priority to the goods in the future, and can have more autonomy in daily equipment repair and maintenance.

With a large order and a lot of investment, combined with Luan Heping's generous conditions, the vice president of Asmail Asia Pacific, who was in charge of contact, was so excited that he almost couldn't help himself.

Not only him, but the headquarters in the Netherlands got the news, and the whole company went completely crazy as if the team had won the championship.

There is no way, Luan Heping's order and investment are too important to Asmail, which is about to run out of ammunition, because if they can't make the PAS5500 DUV lithography machine that gambles all their net worth achieve performance before the middle of next year, the entire Asmail company will close down.

At this moment of crisis, Asmail, who was already ready to live in a wooden house, was actually reborn by Luan Heping's strong milk.

Compared with this, Luan Heping's priority and maintenance of spare parts autonomy is nothing at all, not to mention these, even if Luan Heping opens his mouth to PAS5500 a full set of technical drawings of the DUV lithography machine, Asmael will not hesitate to give it directly, compared to these things outside the body, the life of the company is obviously more important.

Therefore, Asmail agreed to Luan Heping's request without thinking about it, not only stepping up the production of lithography machines for Luan Heping's electronics factory, but also opening up his own suppliers and industrial chains, as well as the specific specifications of each spare part inside the PAS5500 DUV lithography machine, so that Luan Heping can purchase relevant accessories according to his own needs for the daily maintenance of the PAS5500 DUV lithography machine.

When this list of accessories from Asmail's whole industry chain was sent to Zhuang Jianye through Luan Heping, Zhuang Jianye glanced at it twice and laughed, slapped the list on the table, and said to Luan Heping: "Old Luan, are you interested in saving a lithography machine to try?"
