Chapter 202: Cymer Inc

The establishment of WINS shocked the industry!

The results of the design competition for the Williams Center were announced, and the design will be carried out by the two architectural design firms of Inin and SOM, which are now wins!

The specific design drawings were not released by Henry.

Some people even dare to copy the White House, let alone a Williams Center!

This time, the project was huge, and only the construction team under Global Land was completely busy, and finally invited two teams, China State Construction Engineering Corporation and Samsung Engineering Construction Company. China State Construction Corporation entered the US market as early as the mid-80s, and there was no technical problem, and the wages of the workers were cheap, and Henry hired this company, which could save a lot of money, and at the same time sell personal favors to China! For Henry's future entry into the Chinese market, it can reduce a lot of obstacles!

Samsung Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. is a large-scale international construction contracting company with very strong strength!

In order to complete the Williams Center as soon as possible, the three companies joined forces, and the progress of the project was a little faster!

Still, it will take at least four years to complete!

The total budget will be around $10 billion, but the money doesn't have to come out all at once. The project is divided into five stages, the first stage, Henry first contributed a part of the money, leveled the ground, bombed the mountain, and demolished the house......

Anyway, it's the rhythm of forced demolition!

Then lay the foundation and start building the house!(By then, Henry will offer tens of thousands of jobs moving bricks...... Some readers who yearn for the brick moving industry can come to sign up! Our QQ group is: 424930141, welcome to join!)

Although the design of the Williams Center has not been announced, Henry has revealed that the Williams Center will be the tallest building in the world, and its height will exceed that of the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York by more than 200 meters, reaching a height of 666 meters!!

The news was shocking, and it didn't take long for the prices of land around Williams Center to rise wildly. Countless real estate predators have bought land in the surrounding area, and it is obvious that they can see that Williams Center is about to become the most prosperous area in California!

If you don't enclose land at this time, when will you wait?

And not far from the Williams Center, after communicating with the government, Henry won a 10,000 acres of land for the construction of the school early, and prepared to build Williams University here! As for what kind of school to design, it can be completely handed over to WINS Architects!

At this time, there was a breakthrough in the negotiations between Silicon Valley Electronics Group and Asml, a Dutch lithography machine company, which had agreed to a $1.2 billion acquisition plan by Silicon Valley Electronics Group. EO Harrison has rushed to the Netherlands to sign a takeover contract with ASML's board of directors!

In the following week, Silicon Valley Electronics Group and ASML held a press conference to announce that Silicon Valley Electronics Group had completed the acquisition of ASML!

At the press conference, Harrison declared: "Silicon Valley Electronics Group's acquisition of ASML will not stop it. Instead, we will invest more money in researching more advanced technologies to develop better ASML lithography machines!!"

In addition to the advanced lithography machine is related to the lens, the light source is also an indispensable key factor!

In the 1960s, chipmakers used visible light as a source of illumination. In the 1990s, chipmakers began to use shorter, wavelengths of invisible ultraviolet light produced by hot mercury gas as a light source, which reduced the width of the chip's electrical wiring to 0.35 microns.

Lens technology, Silicon Valley Electronics Group is still a step behind Carl Zeiss, but ASML wants to develop a better ASML lithography machine, but it can be used as a breakthrough in the light source!

Henry knew that Cymer was the world's leading provider of excimer laser sources, having invented the Eimer laser light with a wavelength of only 0.25 microns in the early days. Later, the deep ultraviolet (DUV) light source required for the most critical lithography technology in semiconductor manufacturing was invented!!

Without a good light source, there is no good lithography machine!

It can be said that cymer's light source plays a decisive role in the production of semiconductor chips!

At present, cymer company was established not long ago, the company is small, the product is thrown in research and development, in 1997, cymer company developed eimer laser light!

In the past, the reason why ASML was able to occupy the first place in the lithography machine list for a long time was closely related to its acquisition of Cymer. If ASML hadn't acquired Cymer, it would have been in no good place!!

So, after acquiring ASML, Henry set his sights on Cymer. Cymer is an American company founded by two PhDs from the University of California, San Diego. To Henry's embarrassment, Cymer's shareholders are two major competitors, Canon and Nikon ASML......

God knows, how did the ASML company in the previous life snatch Cymer from the hands of the two companies?!

Did Canon and Nikon take the wrong medicine?

It's no wonder that ASML is getting more and more awesome in the future, and Canon and Nikon are getting more and more stupid......

"Chairman, it doesn't seem appropriate for us to go straight to the acquisition......," Harrison hesitated.

"Well, there's something wrong!" Henry nodded, "Canon and Nikon probably wouldn't have sold their shares if they knew that ASML was going to buy Cymer!"

After Henry finished speaking, he pondered.

"So, I'll let other companies buy it and then sell it to us!"

"Well, that's a good idea!" Harrison chimed in.

"Then let Weifeng Capital Investments buy Cymer, Weifeng Capital is a company that likes to invest in high-tech, and it buys Canon and Nikon not to be suspicious!" Henry said.

"Hmm!"

After Henry had discussed the matter with Harrison, he called Karina and told him what he meant.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone buy you over Cymer!" replied Karina.

"Well, though, it would be nice to get both Canon and Nikon's shares in Cymer!" Henry said.

"Okay, I'll do my best to get their shares!"

"Well, that's it, take care to rest early, I'll hang up!" Henry instructed.

"Hmmm......"

After Henry hung up the phone, he turned his head to look at Harrison and said, "Let's wait for news for the time being......

Harrison answered, bid farewell to Henry, and left Henry's office.

A few days later, Karina received news that Cymer was willing to accept the investment and was currently negotiating specific financing terms. In addition, Canon and Nikon have no intention of selling Cymer shares for the time being, and in order not to arouse suspicion, there are no further actions!

Henry took a cup of coffee and muttered, "It's a bit difficult to get Canon and Nikon to give up their shares in Cymer, what should I do?"

Henry didn't think of anything for a while, and three days later, Cymer accepted a $20 million investment from Weifeng Capital, giving up a total of 30% of the shares, Canon and Nikon each holding 10% and 10%, the two founders each holding 20%, and the remaining 10% belonging to an angel investor.

Henry analyzed this shareholding ratio, and it is impossible for ASML to have absolute control. Karina told Henry that the angel investor might sell his shares, after all, he only invested in Cymer for money.

Subsequently, Karina sent someone to conduct public relations with the angel investor, and after a period of negotiations, the angel investor was willing to sell the shares, but required a 20% premium from Weifeng Capital.

Henry said to Karina: "20% is 20%, buy it!"

"Yes, yes!" replied Karina.

Subsequently, Weifeng Capital secretly bought 10% of the shares of Cymer, and now owns a total of 40% of the shares. Next, as long as you get a little more than 10% of the shares, you can achieve absolute control!!

Canon and Nikon are reluctant to sell their shares, do they want to buy them from their founders?

Or, to raise money again and dilute their shares? But how can the capital that has been raised for a short time be raised again......
