In fact, Xu Xincheng knew that he should not ask such a question, and when he asked this question, it was equivalent to asking about the feasibility of the plan, and it could even be interpreted as questioning the feasibility of the plan.

However, such a question must arise in the minds of all employees, and he just asked this question for everyone. Still, he looked at Lucy with some uneasiness, hoping that she wouldn't be upset by his question.

Lucy smiled lightly and said, "Steve, please don't feel uneasy, it's normal for you to have such questions, and I estimate that all employees, including General Manager Li and Director Qiao, will also have such questions, so I must answer this question well, and we must eliminate everyone's doubts, only in this way can our plan be better carried out and implemented, and can be better realized." ”

When Xu Xincheng heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled relievedly, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Lucy said calmly: "I already have a general plan for the establishment of a chip R&D company and a chip factory, and I can explain to you the main points and main goals here. First, we will build the world's most advanced, largest and most diverse chip factory. ”

This first point made Xu Xincheng greatly surprised, there were three "world's best" in it, and he said with a surprised face: "Eh...... It is said that even the construction of an average-scale chip factory is an extremely expensive project. ”

"Yes. Building a chip factory requires a high level of investment and carries a high level of risk. Ordinary entrepreneurs and companies do not dare to get involved at all, even Mr. Fengyun and his Fengyun company, even if they have strong financial resources like them, do not dare to try easily, but only dare to set up a chip research and development company with relatively low investment and relatively small risk.

Chip manufacturing can be broadly divided into manufacturing processes and manufacturing equipment. Specifically, its manufacturing processes include photolithography, etching, ion implantation, thin film growth, polishing, metallization, diffusion, oxidation, and more. Each of these is an extremely delicate and complex process.

Corresponding to the above manufacturing process are more than 200 key manufacturing equipment, including lithography machines, etching machines, cleaning machines, cutting and thinning equipment, sorting machines, and diffusion, oxidation, and cleaning equipment required for other processes. The manufacturing requirements of each equipment are extremely high, and the manufacturing difficulty is extremely high, so the market price of each equipment is very high, basically in tens of millions of dollars. ”

Xu Xincheng was surprised that Lucy was so familiar with chip manufacturing, and at the same time frowned slightly because he thought about the cost. According to his understanding, to start a chip factory, even if it is of average scale, it will take billions of yuan, but Lucy said that he wants to create a chip factory that is "the most advanced, the largest in scale and the most varied in the world". Oh my God, what is that? How much do you have to invest?

He couldn't help asking, "Lucy, can I ask what the amount of investment the company plans to make?"

"I expect that this chip factory alone will have to invest 4 billion US dollars, plus the establishment of chip research and development companies, plus the acquisition of a number of chip research and development companies and chip factories, plus all personnel costs, within two years, the total investment will not be less than 10 billion US dollars. ”

When he heard those two amounts, Xu Xincheng's heart jumped twice, and he felt that his heart jumped to his throat every time, and he shouted in surprise: "Ah! That is to say, before we see a chip, we have to invest 10 billion US dollars, which is about to be nearly 70 billion yuan?"

"Yes. ”

Xu Xincheng said with some hesitation: "Uh...... This amount of money is too large and amazing!"

"In terms of funding, it's not a big deal for New World Capital. One of the biggest reasons why I dare to set a time frame of two years to achieve the plan is that we are financially prepared. When she said this, the look on Lucy's face was always calm.

Xu Xincheng nodded subconsciously, thinking to himself, with such an amazing amount of money as the backing, no wonder Lucy dared to set such a grand goal and set the time so tightly.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and then, his heart pounded to his throat again. Oh my God, Lucy has invested 14 billion US dollars in the establishment of Zhongmei Xinfei Company, and this time he has to invest such a large amount of money, and he also remembered what Lucy just said, "There is still a very high risk", so he hurriedly asked: "Lucy, you have mobilized such a huge amount of money to invest in such a high-risk chip industry, will the investors of New World Capital ......?"

He really didn't know whether to go on or not, so he just stopped there.

Luck continued to say calmly, "Steve, thank you for the reminder. On this point, I have taken it into account. First, 70% of the funds mobilized this time are our company's own funds, not investors' funds; second, I have created a special investment fund, called 'China Chip Investment Fund', which is a high-risk and high-return fund, which is open to all investors, and they can freely choose whether to invest in the fund. At present, there are some people who are willing to invest, such as Prince Anderson, who has already determined the amount of investment, 800 million US dollars. Third, we will also welcome domestic entrepreneurs and investors to participate, such as Mr. Fengyun, Qin Lao, etc., in addition, Chairman Lu Hongfei Lu is also willing to join. In short, in terms of funding, there will be no big problems. ”

Xu Xincheng nodded a little indifferently and said, "Oh! ”

He couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart: "Having strong strength is different, for ordinary people, a thing that is difficult to compare with the sky, in front of people with strong strength, it has become a piece of cake." Such an astonishing amount of money is as easy as Lucy has at her fingertips. ”

He suddenly remembered what General Manager Li said when he first talked to him about Lucy: "According to reports, the total trading capital of her three investment companies exceeds 320 billion US dollars. She herself is a world-class invisible billionaire, according to Chairman Lu, she has a lot of invisible wealth and assets that have not been made public, and the specific number is difficult to speculate, but the publicly available personal wealth alone is a shocking number, about 11 billion US dollars. ”

Now it seems that General Manager Li's remarks at that time not only did not overestimate, but probably greatly underestimated the strength of Lucy and her three financial companies.

Oh my God, how amazing Lucy's real financial strength, and the real financial strength of her three financial companies, must be?
