Chapter 515: Contact (Part II)
The need for the group to replace its office buildings was already imminent.
Because of the previous grouping, [Cybertron Technology] recruited a large number of new employees in a very short period of time.
Today, the company employs more than 2,700 people, and the number is growing steadily.
The original office location was already very difficult to accommodate so many employees working at the same time.
Therefore, Sun Cheng and the others must decide on a solution as soon as possible.
or lease another office building nearby to separate the group's four different subsidiaries; Or choose a new office building that is larger than it is now.
As for the acquisition of [Xinhai Technology], that is already a sure thing.
With more and more [Cybertron Cloud Disk] members ordering hard disks, a variety of large-capacity mobile hard disks printed with the "Cybertron" logo, with the two advantages of "low price" and "excellent performance", have begun to set off a huge wave in the mobile hard disk market.
In just over a month, it has created more than one million sales, which is definitely a big victory for the storage hardware consumer market that eats very brands.
Now not only many domestic storage equipment manufacturers have noticed the newly established [Cybertron Storage Technology Co., Ltd.], and sent some representatives to contact [Cybertron Storage] on some patent uses of mobile hard disks and other possible cooperation.
Several well-known international storage giants, such as Western Digital, Micron Technology, etc., although there is no reaction for the time being.
But if you follow the recent tech news, it's not hard to notice some changes in the industry.
The world-renowned lithography machine giant ASML is under investigation by the European Union, and some people suspect that it is suspected of selling 14nm-class lithography machines to the [Bawa Agreement] export control countries.
The so-called "Bava Agreement" refers to the "Paris Coordinating Committee" and the "Wassenaar Agreement", two major Western export control organizations.
The former was established during the Cold War to control the export of various advanced weapons, technologies and equipment from developed countries in Europe and the United States to the red countries led by the Soviet Union; The latter was established in the mid-to-late nineties of the last century, and was a new export control organization established by the NATO bloc led by the United States to suppress the rise of such an emerging military, political, and economic power as Xia after the decline of the Soviet Union's national strength.
The [Bawa Agreement] controls the export of high-tech, advanced weapons and equipment, while semiconductor-related technologies and equipment are within the control scope of the [Bawa Agreement], and exports to Xia have been prohibited.
At present, China has just mastered the manufacturing technology of 32nmDUV deep ultraviolet lithography machine, so although the world-renowned lithography machine giant ASML (AMES) is said to have mastered the production technology of 5-7nm EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, it only sells 32nm lithography machine and 28nm DUV deep ultraviolet lithography machine to Xia Guo.
Xia Guo wants to introduce more advanced 22nmEUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine lithography machine from ASML, which requires a lot of foreign exchange and political resources.
If it is more advanced, there is no need to think about it, unless one day, Xia Guo can produce equipment of the same grade, and the other party will sell it to Xia for the purpose of suppressing Xia Guo's enterprises.
The mobile hard disk that [Cybertron Storage] is selling to the market on a large scale uses a mature process of 14nm, which inevitably requires a lithography machine.
So the European Union launched an investigation into ASML, apparently someone sent the finished Sebotan hard drive to the hands of the two major control organizations.
As a result, some people began to suspect that ASML was selling high-precision lithography machines to regulated countries.
Sun Cheng doesn't care about the in Europe and the United States, and he doesn't plan to pay attention to it.
The Cybertron Group has only just been founded, and there will be no time or energy to consider the need to export products abroad for at least the next three years.
Moreover, even if it is blocked in the future, he doesn't care, as the world's second largest economy, the domestic personal storage hard disk consumer market in Xia alone is close to 20 billion US dollars.
Counting the growth of emerging industries such as enterprise storage, mobile storage and cloud computing, the domestic demand for storage products will exceed 100 billion US dollars in two or three years at most.
With such a huge market, even if the Cybertron Group only eats half of it, it can make a lot of money.
Therefore, it is time for [Cybertron Storage Technology Co., Ltd.] to consider having its own production plant.
As more and more eyes focus on himself, Sun Cheng can't always use [P· C.F] This virtual organization helps itself block all attention.
He frequently goes in and out of Tiger King Ridge, and there is a high chance that the No. 1 base will be exposed, which has no defense capability at present.
Therefore, it is imminent to acquire the domestic veteran storage company [Xinhai Technology] to make up for the lack of its own factory and production equipment for [Cybertron Storage].
It just so happened that since this period of time, some people in the investment community have begun to focus on the [Cybertron Group] and have been trying to take a stake in Cybertron.
Sun Cheng is a person with a strong desire to control, he has gathered his own power in the [Transformers Universe], so naturally he will not be short of money, so he has no idea of releasing shares to the outside world.
Therefore, it is inevitable that some people will stare at themselves.
Add [P· C·F] also needs to gradually move towards the surface, and Sun Cheng can re-inject capital into the [Cybertron Group] through some channels.
Reducing the number of shares on the surface can reduce the attention of the outside world to him.
Transfer more shares to P· C.F] In the holding fund or company under this fictitious organization, those who follow him, let them stare at this fictitious organization for a while, and fight for a while.
After learning from Sun Cheng that there would soon be a new capital injection of no less than US$500 million, it became the consensus of the participants to lease a larger new office building nearby and arrange several subsidiaries of the group to work together.
This saves a lot of transportation and internal liaison costs, and at the same time, it can better concentrate resources within the group.
As for the acquisition of [Xinhai Technology], there is also a belly case.
The acquisition will be handled by Wang Lu, the new CEO of the group, and several senior executives of [Cybertron Storage] will accompany him.
The reason why he was put in charge was mainly because Sun Cheng felt that he had just completed the merger of Panda Weiyun not long ago, and he was also experienced.
Compared with him, most of the management of [Cybertron Storage Technology Co., Ltd.] are newly recruited professional managers, although some backbones of the technology and R&D departments are industry elites poached from other storage companies with high salaries, but they are all technical elites, and they have no experience in acquisitions.
Therefore, this matter can only be affected by Wang Lu again, and lead the team to be responsible for the following.
A meeting had been going on for a whole morning, and after the meeting was over, Sun Cheng had just returned to his office.
Before anyone could sit down, his new assistant Lin Qi knocked on the door of the office.
"Come in!"
"Excuse me, Mr. Sun. During your meeting just now, there were a few visitors from the 'State Control Bureau' who would like to talk to you! ”
In an instant, after a few hours of boring meetings, Sun Cheng, who was feeling a little tired, couldn't help but feel refreshed.
ps:
It is said that the appearance of the word 'China' in the chapter will greatly increase the chance of being reviewed.
In order not to be afraid, I don't know which chapter was banned, and from this chapter onwards, the country was renamed 'Xia Kingdom'.
