Chapter 440: The news spreads
Watch the An-225 take off smoothly and rush into the night sky.
Rebus, who was standing in front of the window of the VIP lounge at Eindhoven International Airport, breathed a long sigh of relief, reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, and finally went well.
This time, Rebus's gains at ASML in the Netherlands are clearly not the only ones NXE3400B.
Although, the most capable is indeed the lithography machine with the 7nm process of this NXE3400B, which even large semiconductor companies such as TSMC have not started.
Xiaomi's secret laboratory, located in Hebei Province, is the place where Rebus has devoted almost all of his efforts and most of Xiaomi's profits.
In addition to the research on chips and 5G standards, there are also other research projects that have achieved practical results.
For example, there is a joke circulating on the Internet that all of Xiaomi's products, balance cars, air purifiers and so on, are very good, except for mobile phones.
More than half of these great products come from this lab.
And for this laboratory, Rebus has smashed into about 20 billion US dollars!
Lu An also learned the true situation of Xiaomi's laboratory in a casual chat with Rebus later!
...... The chip department has a complete 12-inch wafer factory, which is planned to be 7/10nm, which is also put into production, but in fact, 7/10nm is dusty, and only 28nm is really used in the end.
and has been upgraded to 16nm, which is currently more excellent.
There are plans for 7/10nm, and there are many people in the chip department who are completely unaware.
Because the underground of that failed factory is so huge and complex, beyond imagination, that $20 billion is not spent in vain!
Therefore, in addition to bringing back ASML 7nm NXE3400B this time, Rebus also brought back ASML 10nm NXE3350B.
NXE3350B is a little cheaper, only 100 million, but in dollars.
In addition, upgrading the process to NXE3400B is not supported.
It was precisely because of this extra NXE3350B, coupled with some favors, that Rebus brought these devices back to Huaxia.
In fact, the CEO of ASML headquarters does not matter, and it is Apple's shareholders who have been hesitating, or some of the people behind it.
But after thinking about it, the money in hand still has to be earned, as for Huaxia can develop and complete the 7nm semiconductor production process by itself?
As for Xiaomi, it can directly launch the chip design and production of the 7nm lithography process in one step?
Inexistent!
Of course, in order to prevent some special needs that may arise, the signed procurement contract is accompanied by a strict restriction treaty, if violated, according to some international rules and laws, all of Xiaomi's cash flow may be lost.
Although after arriving in Huaxia, I can't care about what I should do.
So, in fact, it is still a matter of getting the benefits in hand.
After all, there is also more than 200 million euros in revenue, and the net profit ASML will not be announced to the public, but it will definitely exceed 60%!
What's more, the people behind these are still gloating, just waiting for Rebus to ship these two production lines back to China.
Then I saw the An-225.
MMP!
............
Rebus was joined by a five-person technical support team from ASML from Eindhoven to Kyoto, China.
The purpose of their trip to China is first, product after-sales service, and second, technical support.
To this end, Xiaomi purchased ASML for half a year's technical service, which is 6 million euros, and the monthly technical support cost is as high as 1 million euros!
However, the total stay of this five-person technical support team in Huaxia will not exceed half a month.
Therefore, although ASML finally agreed to sell the few NXE3400B produced to Xiaomi, it did not have any good intentions.
At present, with the overall industrial level of Huaxia, it is difficult to play with the semiconductor production line at the two levels of 7/10nm.
Of course, if you insist on pulling some wafer factories invested by foreign-funded factories in Huaxia, then there is nothing to say.
The five-person technical support team was treated the best, and even with Rebus, he was wiped out and sat in second first class on the return trip.
It has been rumored that Rebus generally chooses economy class when traveling, and the hotels he stays in are basically economy chains.
Of course, there are some important business cooperation occasions with exceptions.
This rumor is true, Rebus is basically like this, and he really didn't think about buying a private jet.
Rebus glanced at the time, and it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening local time in the Netherlands.
Twenty minutes later, a plane took off from the airport and the destination was Kyoto, China, and Rebus ended his seven-day tour of the Netherlands.
August 11, Huaxia.
On the Internet, a similar news suddenly popped up.
Xiaomi's chairman Rebus has reached an agreement with a European company, and it is said that Rebus has already left Huaxia before.
The message itself is a bit ambiguous.
However, it suddenly became extraordinarily popular, which can be seen in major online media and major social media sites.
Shocked! Xiaomi may have been invested by foreign capital!
——From the UC Shock Department, which has been controlled by foreign capital for I don't know how many years.
Rebus quietly left Huaxia, Xiaomi updated shareholder information, or there may be another hidden story!
——NetEase News.
These news began to be known by netizens and began to be hotly discussed.
"Sure enough, Xiaomi is going to be finished!
"Without Qualcomm 835, Xiaomi can't wait to invest in the arms of foreign capital?"
"Another enterprise has become a money-making machine for foreign capitalists?"
"Why do you want to talk about it upstairs? Is there anything else...... Well, look around, it's all. ”
"Millet is cold!"
Some rice noodles that have been disappointed by Xiaomi's repeated refusal to release new products, plus some small means sneaked by some friends, plus a water army.
The Internet was taken to the rhythm at once.
Xiaomi is so artificially considered to be a foreign shareholder.
Rebus, who was on the plane at this time, didn't know so much about Huaxia at all.
............
12:40 p.m.
Shijiazhuang Airport was temporarily controlled, because the airport was not very busy, and it was quickly coordinated.
The An-225 flew back to China from the distant Netherlands, bringing with it two lithography production lines!
If it weren't for the An-225, it would have been really difficult to bring the two production lines back together.
At Shijiazhuang Airport, a group of ground staff coordinated and commanded the An-225 to land on a designated tarmac, and they had not seen the An-225 behemoth with their own eyes, and it was difficult to feel the domineering of its largest single aircraft on the earth.
This is the second time that the An-225 has landed at Shijiazhuang Airport.
The sensation is still very strong.
When the head of the An-225 was lifted up, a long line of production lines blocked by wooden boxes was revealed.
With the help of random engineers and airport equipment, the two production lines were unloaded onto a ready-to-use, heavy-duty container truck.
Be transported to a designated place in the same province.
At the same time, Lu An received a call from Ren Yu.
"Arrived safely!"
Just said such a sentence, and there was not much greeting.
It seems that Lu An and Rebus have forgotten the coordination of the airport where they landed in Huaxia, but in fact, no, Lu An and Rebus have not forgotten.
Shijiazhuang Airport was a long-determined landing location, and China Airlines helped deal with it without letting Rebus or Lu An come forward.
............
It was also at this time that a bunch of pictures appeared on the web.
with a catchy title.
"An-225 in China!Hauling a large-scale lithography production line!"
All kinds of detailed drawings, although there is not even the appearance of the lithography machine, but the ASML and logo on a picture indicate the identity.
It's a real lithography line!
As for who the buyer is, no one has made it public.
Even if some oligarchs in the international technology industry knew the news, they did not choose to make it public, but only put an ambiguous message directly aimed at Xiaomi in advance.
When Weibo, Connotation Duanzi, Baidu, online media, etc. appeared about An-225 and lithography production line.
Netizens are collectively boiling!
Regardless of whether you know how to do it or not, there will always be a Cop Emperor who is not......
========
The second is more.
If you want to say something, think about it or forget it.
