Chapter 167: Unbelievable
After lengthy equity negotiations, the parties finally reached a consensus by November.
At the request of Goldman Sachs and other investment banks, Huaxin Technology had to reduce its investment, and the entire investment was reduced to 470 million US dollars, and the stake was reduced from 35% to 27%.
Goldman Sachs, on the other hand, increased its investment by $180 million, rising to 21%.
"Obviously, Goldman Sachs will not watch Huaxin Technology and Zhang Dajing join forces to control the board of directors together. ”
Wang Anran agrees with Shi Gu's view, for him, Goldman Sachs' increase in the proportion of shares is something he likes to see, and it is convenient to do many things with Goldman Sachs.
For example, Huaxin Technology can follow Zhang Dajing and order two 248nm laser light source lithography machines......
As long as Zhang Dajing can buy it, Huaxin Technology can take a ride.
Why not.
On November 11, 1995, SMIC was officially established and registered in the Cayman Islands.
And Zhang Dajing searched for Hong Kong Island, but he still found helplessly that the temple on Hong Kong Island was too small to accommodate the big Buddha of SMIC.
SMIC had no choice but to settle in Pudong New Area, Shanghai.
Of course, this is also the result of the official covert promotion, SMIC, as a high-tech enterprise, at the same time enjoys many conveniences brought by the government, in terms of taxation, land acquisition, etc., basically the service is in place.
The dust has settled, and new problems have arisen.
The domestic chip design ability is low, and SMIC can't be fed at all, but in fact, a large part of SMIC's business in history is foundry of foreign low-end chips, and Samsung TSMC eats the leftovers.
And in this era, Wang Anran naturally didn't want this scene to happen.
In 1995, there were only a handful of domestic enterprises with chip design capabilities, and a large number of industrial automation embedded systems and single-chip microcomputers were imported from abroad.
Intel has an 8-bit mcs_51 microcontroller chip, which was sold until the millennium.
There is no way, for these companies, the chip is too high, there is no foundation, there is no R&D environment, and there is no corresponding talent.
There is nowhere to start with the first step.
And foreign countries are blocked on this, and it is difficult for them to find technical support.
Such a situation will change because of the existence of Huaxin Technology.
For Wang Anran, chip design cannot be said to be simple, but it is not difficult to talk about it.
The so-called chips are similar to computer programs, except that these programs are represented by transistors.
In Wang Anran's office, Mo Shaohua was shocked by Wang Anran's thoughts and couldn't close his mouth.
"Mr. Wang, I don't understand, what do you mean, looking for someone to dig up the people of Huaxin Technology to other companies?"
How could this sound so strange, a boss looking for someone to poach his own employees? Mo Shaohua's first reaction was that he had heard it wrong.
When he came back to his senses and thought of this, there must be something boring, but he couldn't understand it for a while.
Huaxin Technology is developing very well now, and it is impossible to lay off employees in this way and save a few compensations......
But why?
Wang Anran saw Mo Shaohua's appearance, took a sip of water, and said: "To be precise, it is to help domestic enterprises with automation R&D needs introduce the employees of Huaxin Technology." ”
Alas!
Mo Shaohua still didn't understand, he was a little skeptical that there was something wrong with his intelligence, why he couldn't keep up with Mr. Wang's rhythm.
"Mr. Wang, can I know why?"
The reason, Wang Anran had already prepared a speech.
"To market our EDA software and to promote the Java language. ”
“......”
Wang Anran's idea is very simple, don't you companies have no R&D personnel? Huaxin Technology has all the equipment for you.
No problem with R&D tools, Huaxin Technology also has everything for you.
Even the automated embedded control system is no problem, we can ask the team of the Java division to help you develop it.
And what you need to do is to buy a set of EDA software, and the rest are giveaways, free.
Mo Shaohua was thorough at a point, and soon guessed Mr. Wang's idea, just to promote a set of software, the price paid by Huaxin Technology is too great!
"Mr. Wang, most of the employees of the chip division are engaged in confidential projects, and there will be hidden dangers in terms of security if such a large-scale spread to other enterprises. ”
Wang Anran shook his head and said: "Therefore, when the employees of Huaxin Technology join the company, they must sign a confidentiality agreement, one of which is that after leaving the company, they shall not engage in related industries in foreign companies for five years......"
"Domestic companies are also in danger of leaking secrets!"
Wang Anran looked at Mo Shaohua and said with a smile: "Shaohua, I hope they have this ability, if there is another Huaxin Technology in China, I will buy a box of 10,000 firecrackers, hang them on the building of the Pioneer Building, and explode all day." ”
Just kidding, in terms of core businesses such as graphics cards and CPUs, Wang Anran didn't even pay attention to Intel, not to mention that these are really state-owned enterprises with no foundation at all.
As long as talents do not flow out to foreign companies, Wang Anran is not worried at all.
Mo Shaohua's brows widened a lot, thought about it, and asked again: "Mr. Wang, if the outflow of people from the chip division is serious, will it affect the company's own business?"
Wang Anran was noncommittal, stood up, and said with a smile: "Shaohua, Huaxin Technology has redundancy in terms of staff allocation.
It can be said with certainty that as long as not all the core personnel leave, even if the others are half gone, it will not affect the R&D business of Huaxin Technology. ”
Mo Shaohua only now understood that Mr. Wang's idea was to carry out technology diffusion, or it was almost free, why is this? In this world, Mo Shaohua has not seen a few companies take out the technology at the bottom of the box and share it with everyone.
And Wang Anran naturally disagreed with Mo Shaohua's point of view.
"Shaohua, this matter has benefited a lot, first of all, it costs 50,000 or 60,000 yuan to train a talent, but an EDA software is worth more than 1 million, and we have enough profits.
In addition, if these companies design chips, they still have to process chips, and the process requirements of single-chip chips are not high, we Huaxin Technology can take over this part of the business, which is another source of income.
Of course, we can also promote our Java embedded system ......"
Wang Anran explained it like this, and Mo Shaohua didn't know it anymore, and there was a problem.
"These manufacturers are probably going to be happy, it's a win-win situation. ”
"That's not all!" Wang Anran nodded and said: "We can also take this opportunity to build a first-class headhunting company in China, Shaohua, I don't know if you are interested in serving as the CEO of this company?"
"Mr. Wang......!"
"Shaohua, I have thought about this matter clearly, according to the usual practice, I will give you 10% of the dry shares of this headhunting company, and I will give you a call option of 30% of the shares......"
"Mr. Wang......"
Mo Shaohua didn't know what to say, this happiness came too suddenly......
