Chapter 615: Ambition
"How's your talk with Joe Karen?"
"A preliminary agreement has been reached, and we plan to cooperate this year to test the integrity of cooperation between the two sides."
Bao Yaozong grinned and said, "This kid went back to Kuala Lumpur last Saturday, and it is said that he went back to prepare. ”
The Cai family also left the magic capital last Saturday, and they have signed a framework agreement with the magic capital Zhangjiang High-tech Industrial Park, according to the agreement, the Cai family will land the project in the next three to six months, and the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park will also provide the first phase of land and implement relevant preferential policies in accordance with the agreement.
Cai Jingan contacted Wang Yu once before leaving, roughly revealed some public-level information, and said that the Cai family would fulfill its promise and hand over the chip packaging and testing at the end of the industrial chain to Wang Yu.
This involves a key point, in Cai Jingan's eyes, these two things are industries that Wang Yu has not "touched" before, so it is unrealistic for him to develop from scratch, and the only way now is mergers and acquisitions.
Therefore, Cai Jingan said that after the project landed, he would take him to the country of sticks to assist him in acquiring related enterprises.
There are historical reasons for this to be a stick country, and its association is closely related to the migration of the entire semiconductor industry.
As early as 1973, when the oil crisis broke out, the economy of Europe and the United States was stagnant, and the small book took the opportunity to vigorously develop the semiconductor industry, the implementation of the ultra-large-scale integrated circuit plan, after more than ten years of unremitting efforts, by 1986, the small book semiconductor products have surpassed the United States, becoming the world's largest semiconductor producer.
In fact, at this stage, the small book is not only the semiconductor industry, but also the rapid development of automobile manufacturing, precision machinery and other aspects, directly making itself the world's second largest economy, GDP directly catching up with 60% of the country, the country felt the immediate threat, so it began to use means outside the market to dismember the economy of the small book.
In the 90s of the 20th century, the small book economy began to fall into recession, and the semiconductor industry had to transfer technology to the stick country under the intervention of the United States.
At the same time, semiconductor manufacturers have changed from the IDM model to the design + manufacturing + packaging model, which has given rise to a large number of foundries, among which a certain semiconductor company is the representative.
Because the era of comprehensive intelligence of mobile phones has not yet arrived, a certain semiconductor company has not yet entered a period of rapid development, and Wang Yu took the opportunity of the subprime mortgage crisis in 08 to intervene in the packaging and testing chain at the end of the chip industry chain.
For the Cai family, chip packaging is not a core technology, and letting Wang Yu undertake it can save them a lot of money and time, so why not?
They don't know one thing, at most by the end of this year, Wang Yu's two production lines in Rongcheng, southwest China, can be started by domestic technicians, and the research and development side is already reversing the related technology.
In line with the idea that the more the merrier, Wang Yu will not refuse a more complete set of equipment, if he can acquire two or three production lines this time, he can completely let the southwest dismantle a set for domestic research, and accelerate the domestic undertaking of this piece of technology.
In the process of inspecting the southwest R&D base many times, Wang Yu also probably knew some information about the semiconductor industry, technically speaking, chip production can be roughly divided into three processes: silicon wafer manufacturing, chip manufacturing and packaging and testing.
Among them, silicon wafer manufacturing includes purification, single crystal drawing, grinding outer cylindrical, slicing, chamfering, grinding, CMP, epitaxial growth and other processes, chip manufacturing includes cleaning, deposition, oxidation, lithography, etching, doping, CMP, metallization and other processes, packaging and testing including thinning, cutting, mounting, wire bonding, molding, electroplating, rib cutting, final testing and other processes.
On the whole, the technical barriers of silicon wafer manufacturing and chip manufacturing are extremely high, and only packaging and testing are relatively simple.
You must know that even a certain semiconductor company can start from OEM processing and develop to have its own mature and advanced packaging and testing technology, and Wang Yu can do the same!
There are a lot of words, in fact, it is a flashing thing in Wang Yu's mind, and he paused slightly for a moment before responding to Bao Yaozong: "Tell you something else." ”
Next, I told me about meeting Gao Hanwen when I was in the capital this time.
"He said there are other ways to help us, and you can connect with someone over there, but don't get involved!"
"You're saying they might.?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know!"
Wang Yu shook his head: "What should you do over there, we just have to get the results for Gao Hanwen's line, don't care about the process!" ”
"Understood!"
Bao Yaozong smiled: "To put it simply, it's a white prostitute."
Wang Yu also laughed, nodded and said, "Yes, let's prostitute the results for nothing!" ”
After dinner, Wang Yu asked Guo Yuan, Song Qiuyun and others to go back first, and he and Bao Yaozong went to pinch their feet before going home.
The next morning when he came to the Fruit Shell Building, he began to deal with the backlog of affairs as usual, and it was not until nearly half past eleven that he could finish it, he stretched out, turned on his computer and began to browse the news page.
Suddenly, a message jumped into his eyes: "GM is bankrupt, restructuring or promising?" ”
Wang Yu was slightly stunned, and then clicked on the title to check the text.
This article is actually only two or three thousand words, but Wang Yu has read it three times, and it is through careful reading to drive some memories of his past life.
The United States General Motors went bankrupt in 2009 and finally reorganized the century-old store, but this is not the most important thing, what attracted Wang Yu's attention was the short line of words that passed inside.
"General Motors may intend to sell its sub-brand Obao, according to relevant information reports, many domestic companies, including BAIC, are expected to acquire the brand"
In Wang Yu's memory, in 05 years Nanqi acquired the British MG brand, but he didn't get it up, and later in 07 years together with Nanqi was acquired by SAIC, also in 08 years, SAIC also acquired a British brand called Luofu, this brand is relatively niche, Chinese people may not be familiar with it, but later SAIC from Luofu's technology localization of a car brand called Roewe, everyone may be familiar with it.
In addition, by 12 years, BYD and Jaguar Land Rover jointly invested in a production base in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, and produced the later Chery Jaguar Land Rover.
In all of Wang Yu's memories, there is no impression that Opel was finally acquired by a domestic automobile company, even if it is a joint venture like BYD!
If my memory is not wrong, the only truth is that in the end, GM did not sell the Opel brand after the reorganization.
After frowning and thinking about it, Wang Yu pressed the button installed on the left hand side of the desk.
After a while, Shang Wanzhen knocked on the door and came in.
"Inform Director Guo Yuan Guo and ask her to come to my office immediately!"
Wang Yu explained: "Inform the canteen below, I may go down to eat later, and leave a meal for me!" ”
Soon after Shang Wanzhen went out, Guo Yuan rushed to Wang Yu's office.
"Boss, is there an emergency?"
"You sit down and read this news first!"
Wang Yu waited for Guo Yuan to sit down across from his desk, then pushed the laptop around.
Guo Yuan saw the news about the bankruptcy of General Motors at a glance.
Reminiscent of Wang Yu mentioning the matter of new energy vehicles just a few days ago. Could it have something to do with this?
Thinking of this, Guo Yuan trembled, and in the summer, even the chicken skin stood up.
"You pay attention to the most important piece of information in it, although it is only one sentence, but it is very important!"
Seeing that Guo Yuan began to read this information seriously, Wang Yu took the time to order a cigar and smoked it slowly.
Two or three minutes later, Guo Yuan raised his head and looked at Wang Yu: "Boss, GM intends to shoot Obao!" ”
"Yes, that's what I'm bringing to your attention."
Wang Yu leaned back in his chair at this time: "I need you to do a few things next."
Hearing this, Guo Yuan immediately pricked up his ears.
"First, immediately find a way to understand the current situation of Opel, including its own value, business scope, business status in the last few years, etc."
Wang Yu said unhurriedly: "If you have difficulties over there, you can spend money to hire an internationally renowned commercial investigation agency to do this, the sooner the better!" ”
"Well, I understand, time comes first!"
Wang Yu nodded, and then continued: "Second, find out which domestic car companies GM is currently in contact with. In addition to BAIC, there is no SAIC, because SAIC-GM Buick itself is a joint venture between them and GM, and they may have also been in contact with it. In addition to touching those car companies, it is best to understand the willingness of these car companies to acquire the Opel brand."
Guo Yuan's face showed embarrassment, but she didn't say it, gritted her teeth and nodded: "I'll try to understand as much as possible." ”
"I won't let you carry such a big thing alone!"
Seeing Guo Yuan's expression, Wang Yu smiled: "I will also use relevant resources to understand the situation inside, and you know why you want to participate!" ”
And why?
As soon as Wang Yu said this, Guo Yuan felt that there was a big mountain in front of her, and she could dig through it!
"These are all basic information understanding, if you really want to get to that point, there will be a lot of things!"
Wang Yu took two puffs of his cigar before continuing: "Let's not talk about how complicated the process of this kind of cross-border acquisition is, and we are still a private enterprise with no experience in manufacturing cars, just the funds for this acquisition."
Guo Yuan chuckled in his heart, but he still had a look of trust in his eyes when he looked at Wang Yu, and he had the taste of a fanatical believer.
She still remembers that when she bought Yonghua Bank, Wang Yu took out more than 5 billion yuan of funds, and the money for the acquisition of Opel must not be more than this, right?
There is no doubt that your boss has always been a miracle worker!
Facing Guo Yuan's fiery eyes, Wang Yu smashed his mouth.
I don't know how much I can harvest from the reverse harvest of European debts, and whether it is enough to buy Opel myself?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and dial Bai Jieru's number.
Because the last day before the Dragon Boat Festival was very busy, I delayed some time, so I will send a chapter tonight and make up for it tomorrow!
During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, code words at home, anyway, the code is dedicated to everyone, thank you for your consistent support!
