β¦β¦
Entering the beginning of August, the global media are reporting on this incident, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is overwhelming.
149.6 billion US dollars, about 1,020.2 billion yuan excluding exchange rate changes.
The market value of Bluestar Technology Group rose by 1 trillion yuan in three days, and when the news reached China, the mainland media almost put the keyword "1 trillion" in the headline of the front page.
Countless people in the industry saw the news and saw this string of numbers, and their jaws were about to fall under the soles of their shoes.
Although Bluestar Technology's revenue is not among the best in the world's top 500, its terrifying net profit margin has become the most profitable company in the world in the first half of the year.
How much money is this the most profitable? Compared with Wal-Mart, the world's largest Fortune 500 company in terms of revenue, its profit in the first half of this year was only more than $6 billion, while the net profit of Bluestar Technology Group in the first half of this year reached $26.25 billion, more than four times that of Wal-Mart.
The terrifying profits are the fundamental reason for the crazy rise of Bluestar Technology Group's stock.
The 24th issue of the Forbes Global Rich List was also released subsequently, and Luo Sheng has continued to be the richest man in the world since he reached the top in 2009, with a nominal value of $197.5 billion given by Forbes.
second place is Buffett with $62.2 billion; In third place is the richest man in Mexico with $53.5 billion, and in fourth place is Bill Gates with $53 billion; In fifth place is India's richest man with $29 billion.
Luo Sheng's 25.94% stake in Bluestar Technology, with the company's current total market value of US$639.2 billion, has a personal net worth of US$165.8 billion, followed by a 30% stake in the Cote d'Azur Group, which brings a net asset of US$24.7 billion, and finally Shengfeng Capital brings it a net worth of US$7 billion.
The combined nominal net worth is an unprecedented $197.5 billion.
In fact, Luo Sheng, who is unknown to outsiders, is the largest shareholder of Shengfeng Capital, and the asset size of his offshore family fund has now exceeded 87.5 billion US dollars, which is a huge amount of invisible wealth.
However, from a legal point of view, the $87.5 billion is not the wealth used by Luo Sheng personally, but the assets of the family fund, but Luo Sheng controls the family fund and has the right to allocate this wealth.
Asset ownership doesn't mean anything to a wealthy man of his level, just imagine, one person nominally owns a mountain of gold, but can't control it, and another person doesn't have the right to own it nominally, but has the right to allocate this mountain of gold, and can control it.
It can be seen that the right to allocate is fundamental, which is more important than the right to own.
Rich rivals the country, this idiom is the most appropriate for today's Luo Sheng.
The media are overwhelmingly reporting, and online discussions are also in full swing, but the person concerned, Luo Sheng, does not care about the information of the outside world, but indulges in learning and dabbling in new fields.
β¦β¦
Science and technology complex building, in the supercomputer room of the underground library.
Luo Sheng, who was dressed in a T-shirt and pants, stayed here alone, sitting on the ground with his back against a cabinet, holding an ieP tablet in his hand and sliding non-stop.
Outsiders would never have imagined that the world's richest man, worth nearly 200 billion US dollars, or about 1.34 trillion yuan, is in such a state of daily life.
"Master, the core data has been uploaded to your private server."
Xiao Na's voice came into his ears, and Luo Sheng said casually without moving: "Index the content of Document No. 3, take it for verification, and file it directly when the results are out." β
"Okay!"
At this time, Luo Sheng turned off the tablet in his hand and let him sleep, and he involuntarily looked up at the ceiling and muttered to himself: "Lithography machine, lithography machine...... It's hard. β
It is really not human's job to develop and manufacture an EUV lithography machine from scratch and almost single-handedly.
If you want to get this thing done, it's not just a technical problem, there are too many obstacles.
"Master, since the fields of nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, and infrastructure heavy industry can be broken through the introduction of + reverse engineering models, why not dismantle the ASML lithography machine purchased by Xiongxin Electronics for reverse engineering and reproduction?"
Xiao Na suddenly raised a question, and only Xiao Na could chat with Luo Sheng to relieve her boredom here.
"No, it took so much effort to get a device over, and if you mess up Xiongxin Electronics, it may not be able to operate for five years, and ASML will definitely turn its face, and there is no need to do this, we have already gone to the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine technology...... Forget it, I don't understand it. Luo Sheng shook his head, reawakened the tablet and called up a set of data for viewing.
Reverse engineering is almost impossible to achieve on equipment such as lithography machines.
ASML is currently the only company in the world that produces advanced process lithography machines, and Xiongxin Electronics, as its important customer, needs to face quite cumbersome transaction contracts and comprehensive reviews in equipment procurement.
After obtaining ASML's cooperation at the corporate level, it is subject to the constraints of the Dutch authorities, which set procurement review standards that go beyond the international general commodity standards, and even in extreme cases, it will receive advanced interference from the country where ASML's core shareholders are located, such as the intervention of the United States.
The second is the constraints of technology and intellectual property rights, especially if Chinese enterprises want to buy lithography machines, which are important weapons of a large country, they need to ensure that they do not infringe, destroy, or affect the legitimate rights and interests of ASML-related products and intellectual property rights.
The third is ASML's secret door setting and confidentiality measures for lithography machines. The 45nm lithography machine introduced by Xiongxin Electronics, the product is sold to you, and it is only to teach your engineers how to use and simple PM, and there are ASML engineers to solve the problem.
Peter Wernick once swore that ASML's advanced process lithography equipment is not likely to be copied, all equipment is equipped with a series of sensors, any abnormal illegal operation will be detected and immediately warned, ASML headquarters will be the first to know, this advanced self-destruct device sensor equipment, but also ASML to ensure its lithography machine global monopoly position relied on.
Moreover, the equipment is disassembled, in case the reverse development fails, Xiongxin Electronics will be GG, unlike other equipment with purchasers to replace, in the problem of lithography machine in a serious seller's market environment, once decided to break through the constraints of confinement, forced reverse engineering, followed by ASML completely cut off the supply plus headaches of transnational litigation, huge liquidated damages.
Not surprisingly, ASML's core shareholders, led by the United States, will definitely take a step in the killing of products, technologies, intellectual property cooperation and other issues in related fields.
So in order to avoid these problems, Luo Sheng can only carry out theoretical reverse development through supercomputing, but fortunately he has the key memory of the previous life.
Fourth, even if the reverse development is successful, then what?
What about the 70,000 or 80,000 parts, technical problems, and the degree of localization of the industrial chain required for an advanced lithography machine?
Let's talk about one of the core constructions of the lithography machine - the objective lens system. At present, only the German company Carl Zeiss can produce and supply optical lens systems for this thing.
Sony has invested heavily in Carl Zeiss to develop and manufacture excellent photographic and videography lenses for its optical imaging division, but all Zeiss lenses with the "Sony" logo are produced in the Asian factory of "Sony Carl Zeiss lenses".
In the real sense, the original German lenses are still in Europe, that is to say, the stripping and coating raw materials of high-quality lenses made by Carl Zeiss are completely prohibited from leaving the country in accordance with German laws.
It can be seen that even if the photographic lens is so closely protected as a civilian consumer lens, it is conceivable how confidential the optical lens as the objective lens system of the lithography machine is.
One of the three cores of the knowledge lithography machine of the objective lens system, and many other products and intellectual property rights that are at the level of strict technical secrecy and patent prohibition in relevant countries, are a series of technical barriers to the reverse development of the lithography machine.
Luo Sheng suddenly realized that even if he had all the technology of the lithography machine and had a fully mature theoretical and technical system, the manufacturing process would face the most serious problems.
There are too many things involved in this thing, and Luo Sheng is confident that he can achieve it by relying on himself or a company to open up the supply chain around lithography machine equipment.
But the question is how long it takes? Ten years later? Fifteen years later?
Obviously, it is impossible for Luo Sheng to wait so long, even if he wants to wait, Lao Mei will definitely not give you such a long time to develop.
"There's only one way to solve this problem." Luo Sheng said secretly, and couldn't help but nodded.
That is to find the country, seek the support of the state, and let the country come forward to take the lead behind the scenes, find a team of enterprises in the field of lithography equipment industry that can play nationwide, and send them over to listen to the dispatch.
Allowing some other high-tech enterprises in the mainland to participate in their respective duties and build a domestic supply chain system can shorten the time by more than 90% compared with one person and one company.
Luo Sheng finished thinking and immediately said, "Xiao Na, call Wei Mu." β
After a while, Qin Weimu's voice came from the voice in the computer room: "Something?" β
Luo Sheng said directly: "You arrange the itinerary, I will go to the capital tomorrow, and you will follow by the way." β
Qin Weimu on the other end of the phone replied in surprise: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away, but what to do in the capital?" β
Luo Sheng said succinctly: "Internal reference." β
