Chapter 666: Goldman Sachs' Frustration

"We've been working on graphene for a decade, and the most recent application is using graphene to make touch screens for mobile phones. You know, graphene has very good light transmittance, and touch screens made of graphene not only have clearer images, but also use a lot less electricity. ā€

"How many layers of graphene are used?"

"Now the application on the Meidong 2 mobile phone is a 7-layer graphene screen that has entered mass production."

There weren't many people around Zhou Shuo, only a few graphene scientists in white coats. Ever since he announced how he made graphene, there have been calls for him to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. However, I don't know if it's Nobel's political factors, or whether he has no enthusiasm for the mixed scientific research circle, in short, this laurel has not fallen on his head for more than ten years.

Just because of Zhou Shuo's award, there have been many international and domestic criticisms of Nobel's political tendencies.

However, even if there is no Nobel Prize, Zhou Shuo's investment in graphene will not be weakened. This is not the first commercial graphene product - graphene touch screen, it is the fruit of graphene in the past ten years.

Don't look like it took ten years to complete such an achievement, in fact, behind such a small thing as a graphene touch screen, there is a breakthrough in the production technology of the entire graphene.

At the beginning, due to equipment problems in China, graphene could only be obtained by mechanical stripping and chemical corrosion. The advantages of this method are that it is not technically demanding and low-cost, but the disadvantages are also obvious. It can only produce multi-layer graphene, and the properties of graphene are unstable and the structure is incomplete. Put it on industrial production. is an unacceptable situation.

Therefore, if we want to develop a graphene production method that can be produced industrially, we must develop a new production method from scratch.

Zhou Shuoming's graphene manufacturing method only confirms that graphene can appear in the normal state of nature. Although the mechanical stripping method is simple, the product produced cannot be used at all.

After years of experimentation, the graphene studio finally set its sights on CVD, or chemical vapor deposition equipment.

In the production of wafers, CVD can be used to make a deposition layer to form a variety of materials for diodes. It is attached to the monocrystalline silicon layer by layer.

And these adhesion layers, the thinnest are even only less than 1onm. One or two layers of atoms can do it.

It's just that CVD equipment is expensive and high-tech, and at the beginning, CVD equipment was not even enough for the wafer factory.

This is the result of a large amount of investment in the Pan Han Research Institute after the trillion plan.

Chen Aihua's Zhongcheng Optoelectronics Company after developing strain silicon technology. Immediately benefited from the explosive exhibition of China's semiconductor industry, and the orders were soft but happy.

In the past few years, Zhongcheng Optoelectronics has also become a well-known semiconductor company in China. The company expanded its product line after its listing. In addition to supplying CVD equipment to wafer fabs, it has also begun to get involved in industries such as DVD for the manufacture of 1D chips and other products.

Of course, due to the good relationship with Fanhan Group, Zhongcheng Optoelectronics also accepted the order for the G-CVD project of the graphene solid yĆ n room.

After tens of thousands of experiments, the preparation method of rapid cooling after the growth of high-temperature methane gas was finally determined, and high-quality single-layer graphene was obtained.

This is important for the application of graphene technology. It is undoubtedly a big step.

Zhou Shuo was led by Cheng Jie, a scientist in the graphene room, and visited the general operation of the room. Since graphene has been applied to the Meidong 2 mobile phone, the concept of graphene has been a blowout in the domestic stock market.

It is not only a graphene research and preparation enterprise. Even Zhongcheng Optoelectronics, which is not high, has been up and down for two consecutive days.

In this case, it is only natural to increase investment in graphene.

With the arrival of a large amount of funds, there is also close attention, which makes Cheng Jie's burden feel heavy.

"If we want to continue to increase the production of graphene, the current production technology must continue to improve, otherwise we will not be able to afford the cost."

Cheng Jie and Zhou Shuo strolled in the Panhan Research Institute, and the environment of the research institute in Xiucheng was no worse than that in the imperial capital. On the contrary, the area is larger and the investment is higher, and the living standard and cost of living in Xiucheng are more suitable for living. Therefore, the talent density here is even higher than that of the Imperial Capital Research Institute.

In terms of research in frontier fields, the achievements of the institute in recent years are more eye-catching.

"The question of money is not something that scientists need to think about, and this aspect should be trusted by the capabilities of the group......"

Zhou Shuo didn't finish speaking, and suddenly saw Dongfang Ke driving over in a battery car.

"Mr. Zhou!"

Dongfang Ke, who was beaming, shouted loudly when he was still far away, and excitedly waved his hand to park the car beside Zhou Shuo and Cheng Jie.

"The Goldman Sachs takeover failed, and we succeeded!"

Zhou Shuo's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise: "Why, ICBC gave up overseas financing?" ā€

"Hehe, in fact, who doesn't know Goldman Sachs' little tricks, it's just that no one dares to mess with them." Dongfang Ke jumped down from the battery car and said excitedly.

Of course, Cheng Jie would not fail to know Dongfang Ke, CEO of the dignified Fanhan Group, and when he saw his appearance, he hurriedly avoided it.

Only Zhou Shuo and Dongfang Ke were left, and it was much more convenient for the two to talk.

Since 2oo6, Goldman Sachs has issued successive notices to downgrade the rating of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. At this time, ICBC was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Hong Kong stocks, and ICBC's stock price was expected to fall.

However, in history, Goldman Sachs has distributed bad news about ICBC on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has taken the opportunity to eat a large amount of ICBC shares. , acquired a 7% stake in ICBC.

Zhou Shuo can not remember much about financial events, only himself, or the people around him, have experienced them, and events that have a very large impact and deep impression.

ICBC was double-sided and stabbed by Goldman Sachs, but he remembered it very clearly in his previous life. In fact, to put it bluntly, what did ICBC sell 7% of Goldman Sachs for? It's just to pay protection money.

This kind of Wall Street investment bank is the most exemplary example of American capital eating human blood. Later, Zhou Shuo watched a movie called "The Wolf of Wall Street", which has a profound portrayal of this group of capitalists.

Historically, ICBC wanted to list on the Hong Kong stock market, firstly, in the hope of obtaining funds for the exhibition, and secondly, in the hope that the introduction of strategic investors could help ICBC better expand abroad.

It's a pity that even if you bring in Goldman Sachs' capital, people won't support you and Bank of America to grab the market. By 2o12, when Goldman Sachs began to liquidate its ICBC stock.

In this cooperation, ICBC did not get any benefits except for being bitten by a brute.

However, in the early stage of ICBC's listing, in order to get this share, Goldman Sachs, as a stock market barometer, repeatedly distributed bad information about ICBC, and smashed ICBC's expected stock price from 5 Hong Kong dollars to 1 Hong Kong dollars. At this time, Goldman Sachs, who was the least optimistic about ICBC, acquired 7% of ICBC's shares at one time, how could there be such a shameless person?

Of course, Wall Street has always praised "shamelessness".

As one of the few financial events that can be remembered, Zhou Shuo instructed Panhan Group to intervene in the listing of ICBC early on.

Regardless of how Goldman Sachs intervened in ICBC's listing, Pan Han Group always offered to acquire ICBC's H shares at a price of HK$5.

To this end, it even brought East West Bank as a partner and promised to provide support for overseas business development.

However, Wall Street is Wall Street after all, and even if the Pan Han Group comes up with such conditions, the internal voice of ICBC to support Goldman Sachs continues.

After all, who doesn't want the shadow of a famous tree, Goldman Sachs? Just like Baidu in history, there were many brokerages willing to cooperate when it was listed on the NASDAQ, but in the end it chose Goldman Sachs, which was not so well-conditioned, because Goldman Sachs has huge influence and strength and can support Baidu's stock price.

But of course, Baidu later tasted Goldman Sachs' greed. In the second month of Baidu's listing, Goldman Sachs' operation methods were the same as those of ICBC, and it also repeatedly spread unfavorable news about Baidu. It's just that at that time, Baidu's transformation was smooth, and after the launch of the bidding ranking business, it was in a period of high growth, and the support of performance for the stock price was very obvious, so Goldman Sachs did not succeed.

It can be seen from this that Goldman Sachs has neither credibility nor quality as it is.

For this kind of thing, Zhou Shuo doesn't know it, and if he doesn't have the ability, forget it. But since it is remembered so clearly, there is naturally no reason to ignore it.

"But there is definitely a problem with the ICBC team, and our conditions are all out of this position, but we just don't let go." Dongfang Ke looked a little angry, and said angrily: "TMD is easy to bully when I am Fanhan Group? In the end, I had no choice but to move out the means of pressing the bottom of the box. ā€

"Oh? What did you do to squeeze Goldman Sachs down? Zhou Shuo was also a little curious, he didn't interfere much in actual affairs now, and he didn't pay much attention to this matter after he was told.

After all, it's just a multi-billion dollar investment, and he can't afford to care so much. It's just that this acquisition is the shares of ICBC, and having this share in hand is also a layer of protection.

"There's nothing too good to do." Dongfang Ke shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "ICBC and Goldman Sachs are the kings of mung beans, what can we do as a third party?" ā€

As he spoke, he showed a smug smile and sneered: "But since the toast is not eaten and punished, I will not be polite in the end." Directly state that if ICBC has obvious discriminatory behavior in investment, then order all industrial alliance enterprises to cancel their settlement accounts with ICBC. The leaders of ICBC went back to check the deposit amount of our industrial alliance, and it was said that he was paralyzed on the ground at that time. (To be continued) R466
