With negotiations between ST and Mercedes-Benz and Siemens in full swing, the value of IGCT is clear.

With its absolute technological superiority over GTO, it can be said that it is no surprise that it has replaced its market position. Not to mention that GTO technology has not yet been popularized, but the more inefficient Thyristor (SCR) technology is the mainstream of the world.

It can be said that the commercial success of other products is inseparable from promotion and marketing means, but the main users of power electronic device applications are enterprises and other organizations, and individual users have not seen anyone buy a thyristor or IGCT in normal life. In other words, the vast majority of users of power electronics are rational consumers. As long as information is disseminated, they will focus specifically on the performance and price of the product, rather than the context of the product.

In the face of the huge technology gap between IGCT and thyristors, technology upgrades will become a very profitable thing. If you think about it intellectually, you can get the result that it is not impossible for the world's thyristor technology to be replaced by IGCT technology. Even if such a goal is too difficult, then it is better to lower expectations a little and replace 50% of the market for thyristors.

50% of the global power electronics market share of thyristors, which will be a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars!

In order to get this market, Mercedes-Benz and Siemens paid a mere $3 billion is really insignificant.

In the general direction, Mercedes-Benz and Siemens cannot refuse this business. Then a small disagreement in the negotiation will naturally not have any impact on the outcome.

After nearly a month of negotiations, Mercedes-Benz and Siemens finally scraped together the technology and equipment worth $2 billion that ST had requested. The remaining billion dollars will be paid in cash and securities.

When the specific content of the transaction was exposed, the domestic transportation system suddenly became jubilant.

The two-billion-dollar technology and equipment includes the 120 electric locomotive system, a transmission production line from ZF Friedrichshafen Friedrichshafen Friedrichshafen Friedrichshafen Focus, and a series of Mercedes-Benz car manufacturing related technology licenses......

While the scope of coverage may not seem as large as DuPont's larger chemical projects, ST's deal is arguably more targeted.

After the whole road work conference of the Ministry of Railways was held, the Ministry of Railways suddenly became loud and enthusiastic about relying on China Railway Construction Investment to carry out reforms. There are three directions for reform, one is to use a series of new technologies to improve the labor productivity of railways. One is to reform the business model and fully play the role of asset revitalization. The third direction is to use American standards to build high-capacity freight corridors and carry out appropriate passenger traffic speed.

These three points, to put it bluntly, revolve around two centers: one is to make money, after all, after Mr. Hu's advocacy, plus a visit to the United States, I have some tricks in my mind to make money from railway companies under the rule of capitalists. In order to develop the railway, first of all, it is inseparable from the word money, and even if the railway investment bank can get loans, it must make money to repay debts.

The other is to solve the problem of perennial shortage of railway capacity. Since the reopening, logistics and passenger flow are increasing day by day, and the railway capacity is stretched, so it often takes half a month or even a month to ask for a wagon, and the satisfaction rate is only a pitiful 30%. After the ministerial meeting, a military order was issued at the central government: it would take 10 to 20 years to fight a complete battle for the transformation of railway transportation and be the pioneer of the reform. With the support from above, coupled with the arrival of the first loan, it is natural that the road bureaus from the ministry to the pilot are gearing up to make a big news.

The railway signaling system relies on the newly established railway communication company, and the ability to build the TDCS system to achieve centralized scheduling can be said to be crucial to the improvement of railway capacity.

The construction of the railway signaling system, the control system of the 120 electric locomotive and the 10,000-door program-controlled switch are undoubtedly very important supplements.

At this year's all-road work conference, the Ministry of Railways proposed that passenger transport should march to a quasi-high-speed of 140-160 kilometers.

The introduction of the 120 locomotive and some technology transfer, and even one step across the threshold of quasi-high-speed, directly entered the field of high-speed railway, how can it not make the railway people happy?

The two-way four-display automatic blocking system, ZPW new non-insulation tuning track circuit, TDCS centralized dispatching system, station computer centralized chain control, and key LKJ train operation protection system have all been supported by key funds and entered the stage of intensive research and development and improvement of the molding stage. A computer network covering the main trunk lines of the whole road, carrying the grand blueprint of train operation dispatching command and production operation plan implementation has surfaced. More than 10 colleges and universities, dozens of engineering bureaus, and millions of workers have been mobilized at all levels and are ready for battle.

In addition to the demand for railways, the introduction of 2 billion yuan of technology and equipment has made Jun's Poussin localization process see the dawn.

What really plagues the problem of Poussin's localization is always the problem of funding. In the final analysis, there is still no capital for many equipment to introduce technology. Historically, in order to solve the problem of the localization of Poussin, the state added a localization fund of 28,000 yuan per car in addition to the ex-factory price of Santana.

If it weren't for the heavy taxation of automobile imports in China, and the cost of domestic assembly in Poussin is higher than the import price, there would be no market at all. But this is equivalent to opening a Pandora's box, and since then, domestic cars have been relentless in putting away the localization fund. Not only did Poussin leave the factory to collect the adjustment fund, but also other joint venture cars in the follow-up, and even an old Modu car with no imported parts followed the fashion, and the ex-factory price rose by 5,000 "localization fund".

Although the localization fund has objectively played a role in promoting the development of China's automobile industry, it is undeniable that it has also bred a feeling of unearned gain. Since the joint venture can use the name of the "localization fund" to collect more money, who still bothers to figure out how to launch the Chinese auto company's own brand?

It was not until 1994, after the state explicitly abolished the localization fund, that major car companies became interested in developing their own "old brands". But even so, in the automotive industry, only private companies such as BYD, Chery and Geely will really take the road of self-reliance in the future, and state-owned enterprises will always hold on to the joint venture brand. It is precisely because the private company wants to be a comprador but cannot get it, that Geely acquired Volvo, and the K9 drove on the streets of London.

On the other hand, the state-owned car companies of joint ventures are simply selling themselves to be compradors, and they only make comfortable money.

Hu Wenhai is now involved in the automotive industry, although there is no need to pursue vehicle manufacturing for the time being, but the construction of the automotive industry's spare parts system is consistent with Jun's idea.

As long as there is a spare parts system for automobiles, Santana can use it, and other cars can also use it. Today, state-owned car companies can benefit, and one day private car companies will also benefit from this system.

In fact, the future of China's automobile industry started with the localization project of Poussin. The use of Poussin's localization has forced the industrial upgrading of domestic spare parts enterprises, and finally created a modern system for China's automobile industry.

Now, with the strong investment of ST in the localization process of Poussin, I am afraid that there will be no localization fund in the future. I only hope that without the ease of lying down and making money, domestic car companies can work harder to some extent.

It's just that with the arrival of July, Hu Wenhai had to face the separation from Yulia again after the negotiations with Mercedes-Benz and Siemens came to a higher level.

Standing in the boarding passage of the capital airport, the old Hu family stayed outside the passage, and only Yulia carried Natalia and Hu Wenhai side by side to complete the last part of the road.

It has been more than two months since the Chernobyl nuclear leak, and the Soviet Union, after paying a huge price, has finally sealed the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in a cement sarcophagus. The dark clouds of nuclear radiation over Europe are dissipating, and radiation is returning to normal levels in all European countries, with the exception of Ukraine and Belarus.

After her trip to China, Yulia must also return to Romania to pick up the next shipment. The deal between Romania and Ukraine cannot be separated from the KGB, and to use the power of the KGB, Yulia must be in Romania.

No matter how reluctant he is in his heart, Hu Wenhai still has to usher in the day when he is about to separate from Yulia and Natalia.

"My dear, you are not allowed to find another woman after I leave!" Yulia's style is quite "Mao Mei", and when she said this, she almost grabbed Hu Wenhai's collar and gritted her teeth in warning.

God knows, a billionaire who is just twenty years old, even if he looks like Jack Ma, is already very attractive to women. What's more, Hu Wenhai is not only rich, but also handsome, and his figure is quite good, and he works hard in bed...... It's at least 18cm!

Pan Donkey Deng Xiaoxian, except for the leisure and comfort, he is a little worse, and the other conditions can be said to be the complete explosion of any diamond king.

How could such a man let Yulia be left in China with peace of mind? Unfortunately, just as it was impossible for her to stay in China, it was impossible for Hu Wenhai to stay abroad for a long time.

Under the constraints of reality, Yulia had no choice but to turn her worries into Yingying's eyes and cherish the last bit of time by Hu Wenhai's side.

Hu Wenhai first teased Natalia, who was sleeping peacefully in Yulia's arms, with his fingers, and took the opportunity to bow his head to hide his embarrassed expression. Well, although I feel a little sorry for Yulia, I still have a future wife at home. Anyway, after all, a wife is a wife, and the most important thing in Hu Wenhai's heart is Lu Jia, who has spent more than 20 years of his life with him.

However, of course, Hu Wenhai would not say these bad words, and when he raised his head, he had already changed to a "loyal" expression.

"Don't worry, dear Yulia. Hu Wenhai patted his chest and said: "From today on, there will never be more women who will get my love." ”

Well, before that doesn't count. Ah, am I a little too scumbag, Hu Wenhai felt a little guilty in his heart.

Yulia only thought that Hu Wenhai's English words were inaccurate, and she didn't think too much about it at all. Hearing this, a lip print suddenly fell on his face, forehead, and lips like a storm, and finally the four lips were relatively unseparated for a long time. After a while, Mao Mei flashed her big eyes that could speak, and then she spit hot air from her and Hu Wenhai's lips and pulled out a crystal bright line.

"Don't forget our plans, I really hope that one day we can be together in the open and never have to be separated again. Yulia's eyes were confused, and she was reluctant.

"Don't worry, I'm serious, there's nothing I can't do. Hu Wenhai nodded, and finally brushed Yulia's sideburns and helped her tie her hair.

"I'm gone, dear. ”

Yulia waited quietly for Hu Wenhai to tie her hair together, and finally took a deep look at him, shook off her black shawl hair, and walked towards the end of the boarding passage without looking back.

Hu Wenhai watched her back go away, raised his hand and waved, and reluctantly watched his wife and daughter board the plane to Romania.

"Yo, buddy, yes! There's a foreign girlfriend. ”

Walking out of the boarding tunnel, the customs officer gave a thumbs up with a smile. This year, I soaked a foreign girl, and it was a matter of winning glory for the country.

"Hey, what country is your girlfriend from???," the border inspector asked curiously.

"Well, you don't believe it. ”

Hu Wenhai smiled and took his documents from his hand: "I'm kissing Russia wildly." ”

"Soviet girlfriend?" the border inspector laughed: "Then I still gnaw Spain to death!"

When the IGCT technology deal negotiations came to an end, it was the Chinese and Germans who were happy, but many people in the world were not.

Siemens disclosed the details of the transaction to the relevant media as soon as the transaction was concluded. Although there is some ambiguity in the price paid by the side, it is fully stated in the performance of IGCT.

And with the spread of the news, although the price of three billion dollars was paid, the shares of Siemens and Mercedes-Benz still ushered in a fairly strong upward trend.

Correspondingly, STMicroelectronics, Fairchild, IR and NEC, Toshiba and other companies that originally had a certain share in the thyristor market have all had a certain decline in their stocks.

Both the market and academia seem to be interested in IGCT technology.

In particular, Dagang Shipyard took advantage of this shareholder wind to announce the launch of IPS electric drive propulsion pods used by civilian ships. The use of electric drive technology not only increases fuel economy, but also significantly reduces the maintenance and operating costs of the vessel. In contrast to mechanical transmissions, which require complex drive shafts and reducers, the maintenance required for electric drive technology is virtually zero.

On the other hand, after the space occupied by mechanical transmission is eliminated, cargo ships can add more storage and transportation space, and income will also increase to a certain extent.

As a result, the cost of operating the vessel plummets, and the benefits of changing the technology are immediate.

Many shipowners are eager to try all-electric integrated propulsion technology. First take out one or two cargo ships of about 30,000 tons to accept refit, which is not a problem for world-class shipowners at all.

As soon as the Dagang Shipyard released the news, Bao's shipping in Xiangjiang immediately responded, and the first civilian ship to change to electric transmission business was born.

The emergence of IPS electric drive technology has not only attracted the attention of shipowners, but also made the IGCT technology, which has been hyped, more noticeable.

The reason is simple, the advent of IGCT technology means that for the first time, the efficiency of electric transmission surpasses that of mechanical transmission. Not only in the field of traditional power electronics, but also in the development of many new products and technologies, there are more choices.

The power semiconductor industry is seeing another bloody storm.

After Zhang Zhongmou returned to the demon capital, he first watched the rumors. However, news soon came from the island that his family was restricted from leaving the country, a group of researchers from the Industrial Technology Research Institute were taken away for investigation, and it was said that the IDF project was also facing the possibility of being overturned.

Not only that, but there was gossip that Comrade Jianfeng was said to be sick in bed because of this.

The rest of the news is okay, but this gossip, which is more similar to rumors, frightened Zhang Zhongmou.

Comrade Jianfeng is undoubtedly the Dinghai Divine Needle on the island, and if his body is lost because of this leak case, Zhang Zhongmou does not dare to imagine what will happen to him.

At this point, he completely dismissed his plan to return to the island. However, life in the mainland is not easy, and Mr. Wang, who has invested huge costs, frequently urges when the wafer factory that has been promised before will be landed?

Zhang Zhongmou's previous plan can only be completely nullified now. It is obviously no longer feasible to rely on helping foreign companies obtain IGCT technology at low prices and then leave Chinese mainland.

However, without the help of foreign companies, how could he have the ability to build a wafer factory in the mainland?

After almost a month of hiding, he really couldn't hide anymore. Both Chinese and foreign parties are looking for him, and he is not a local, so it is not easy to disappear on the cusp for so long.

"Zhang Zhongmou, what do you mean by this? Don't say goodbye, this is not to treat me as a friend. ”

At this time, Mr. Wang has completely lost the feeling of being polite and calm, with stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes, it can be seen that his life is not very good.

Beside him were a few white men in suits and ties, and the Treasure Islanders, apparently all of whom were looking for him.

Zhang Zhongmou was blocked in a dilapidated rental house, and his face turned a little pale as he looked at the people who broke through the door.

"Mr. Wang, since I was found by you, I have nothing to say. Zhang Zhongmou forced himself to calm down and showed a relieved smile.

A treasure island man standing next to Mr. Wang asked with some difficulty: "Lao Zhang, is there no hope for our wafer factory project?"

"Yes, there is no hope for the fab project. Zhang Zhongmou nodded, and said to the people from Baodao who asked questions: "If there is a leak, not only me, but you better not go back to the island, it's not safe." ”

Mr. Wang stopped the others, looked at Zhang Zhongmou seriously, and asked with some hope: "Since you can't go back, it's better to stay on the mainland." As long as the fab is built, the good times are not the same. ”

"Mr. Wang, don't you understand?" Zhang Zhongmou smiled bitterly: "From the beginning, there was no wafer factory. The aim of several foreign companies is to force ST to sell IGCT technology at a low price. Now that this purpose has failed, the fab is even more impossible. ”

"So, you lied to me!" Mr. Wang only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he couldn't help but step forward, and grabbed Zhang Zhongmou's collar with red eyes.

He invested too many resources in the wafer fab project, and while he was burdened with huge loan debts, he also used his connections to finance a large amount of money in the bank and invested it in project operation and fixed asset investment. Now Zhang Zhongmou clearly said that he had deceived him, which means that the funds will also be lost.

In this way, his fate is quite worrying. Although he has a strong background, the banking system is vertically managed. Just the illegal approval of loans involves the transfer of benefits, which can make him compensate for the relationship network that has been operating for many years.

The debt of a small billion yuan, which seems to Chinese today is simply a huge amount of money that cannot be repaid in ten lifetimes. In order to settle the accounts, the bank will not hesitate to throw him in prison.

"Yes, I lied to you. "Zhang Zhongmou is a bachelor.

Mr. Wang let go of his hand in despair, and looked at Zhang Zhongmou dumbfounded, a little incredulous that he would admit it so easily.

"I, I'm going to kill you!" Mr. Wang came back to his senses and rushed over in a rage, holding Zhang Zhongmou's neck with both hands, his face like crazy.

However, before he could rush over, two large hands pressed him

"Mr. Wang, please don't be impulsive. A white man beside him held Mr. Wang in his hand like a monkey: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang is still useful to us, you can't hurt him." ”

"Me?" Zhang Zhongmou was stunned, looked at the two white people beside Mr. Wang, and said with a wry smile: "I'm done, what's the use." ”

"No, you're useful, useful. The white man said in pidgin Chinese: "Fab, you will preside." ”

"Wafer factory, where did the wafer factory come from?" Zhang Zhongmou was puzzled.

The white man pointed at him, and then pointed to the surrounding Baodao people: "The price of our negotiation with ST is to set up a wafer foundry in Xiangjiang. This fab, we need you and these people of yours. ”

"Xiangjiang set up a wafer factory? You're not kidding, are you?" Although Zhang Zhongmou's eyes lit up, he still shook his head and said: "Xiangjiang has no soil for the development of high-tech at all, and the British governor and government in Xiangjiang will not allow Xiangjiang to set up any wafer factory, waiting for a big gift to the mainland in 97?"

"Well, that's not a problem. ”

The white man shrugged his shoulders, smiled and said, "If the Xiangjiang government wants to oppose it, I'm afraid it will take some courage." It's not just the companies you have been in contact with before that you are interested in IGCT technology. Even the British Government obviously cannot ignore the Americans' desire to obtain IGCT technology, right? The US Navy is already asking when they will be able to use integrated all-electric propulsion warships. ”
