Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On the day of the launch of the Hangzhou National Laboratory for Information Physics, a lot of people came, including the media, entrepreneurs and leaders.

The leaders of Hangzhou are all happy. Because of the Dafeng Group, Hangzhou has become a technological city from a tourist capital city that has been questioned. In just eight years, the registration rate of technology companies has increased by 500%. With the establishment of national laboratories, the status of science and technology has risen again.

Every time the leader attends this kind of activity, he will praise Meng Qian angrily, and will not stop until he praises Meng Qian to the sky.

At the same time, the number of entrepreneurs who came to the scene today even exceeded the number of media. Some of them belonged to the cooperation unit of Hangzhou National Laboratory for Information Physics, and some were not cooperation units but rushed to get on the bus.

What is the status and significance of the national laboratory? Everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. As a private company, Dafeng Group obviously has more room for maneuvering. Who would not want to get on this train.

Although the lithography machine is a core project, it is certainly impossible for the National Laboratory of Information Physics in Hangzhou to have only one lithography machine project. There are 15 projects just after it was launched, which is why more people came here.

In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Meng Qian also said loudly in his speech at the launching ceremony, "We want to continue the glory of the Olympics, we want to tear off the label of low-end manufacturing, and let the world re-understand our China's technological level! "

Most of the entrepreneurs who came, Meng Qian, asked Xiao Boshi and Shao Yibo to receive them, and Meng Qian picked a few entrepreneurs to meet.

One of them who was anxious to see Meng Qian was Li Zhiqiang from Tsinghua Unigroup.

"Dafeng Group has promoted the development of domestic semiconductors through the Shanghai Semiconductor Industrial Park, and now it is promoting the development of domestic precision machinery and materials science through the lithography machine project. Mr. Meng will definitely become a great man in the history of domestic technological development." Li Zhiqiang saw Meng Qian raised him to the sky.

Meng Qian quickly pulled back to reality, "Mr. Li, don't praise me so highly, just tell me what's the matter."

Li Zhiqiang smiled wryly, "Well, in the first half of the year, everyone thought that the memory market would recover in the second half of the year, but a financial crisis directly sent the memory market into hell."

"What's the specific situation now?"

"The decline of DRAM has exceeded 70%. Now the alliance between Micron and Elpida is closer, and enterprises in Taiwan Province have also firmly joined the camp of Micron and Elpida to fight against Samsung.

In the recent period, Qimonda may face bankruptcy. "

"Qmonda is going to go bankrupt?" Meng Qian remembers that Qimonda will go bankrupt, but Meng Qian has no memory of the exact time. In fact, he should wait for more than a month, just because of the entry of Ziguang in this life The memory war was further intensified, and the situation on Qimonda's side became even worse.

Now Qimonda has no money, and then went to the government and parent company Infineon to ask for money, but was rejected, and then it was about to go bankrupt.

In the previous life, after bankruptcy, Inspur Group acquired Qimonda's research institute in China.

As for why the German government and Infineon did not rescue Qimonda, there are different opinions, and the things here are not clear.

"Yes, I heard that Nvidia is very dissatisfied with Qimonda's performance, and the German government seems to be somewhat resistant to the rescue of nearly one billion euros because of the financial crisis."

Meng Qian heard something from Li Zhiqiang's words, "Ziguang is interested in Qimonda?"

Li Zhiqiang said with a smile that Meng Qian's guess was correct, "The current situation in the field of memory is very similar to that in the field of LCD screens. Prices have plummeted, camps are fighting, and the overall technological level of our mainland is the most backward.

In the LCD screen market, Dafeng Group also has Sony as an ally, but in the field of memory, we Ziguang does not have any allies, and now we are fighting alone. "

Meng Qian could understand Ziguang's difficulties at this time. The technology was originally backward and the production capacity was low. Now that the market has become like this, it is estimated that Ziguang is about to collapse. "Does Mr. Li regret entering this market?"

"At the beginning, there was a bit of a problem. No one expected that this year's memory market would become like this, but as Mr. Meng often said, disasters and opportunities coexist, and Qimonda's bankruptcy is an opportunity for us.

Now that we have come to this point, it is impossible for us to retreat, so we might as well think about how to stare at the opportunities in front of us. "

Meng Qian nodded in agreement, and at the same time asked with concern, "How much money did Ziguang put in this year?"

"It's more than a billion." This is not a small amount for Ziguang this year.

"How much do you estimate it will cost to acquire Qimonda?"

"Probably 1 billion euros."

Meng Qian touched his chin, "There is a lot of financial pressure."

"In fact, what we are most worried about now is not the issue of funds." Li Zhiqiang explained, "If we can successfully negotiate the acquisition of Qimonda, we can apply for a special loan."

"There is a special loan for this thing?!" Meng Qian looked at Li Zhiqiang in surprise, "Why didn't I know that?"

"Because of the Dafeng Group. It seems that they are never short of money."

"How can there be no shortage of money?" Meng Qian quickly understood the situation. This thing does have a special loan channel. To put it bluntly, it is some important international acquisition projects. Only limited to state-owned enterprises.

"So what's your problem now?"

"Everyone is staring at Qimonda, and everyone wants to acquire Qimonda. We lack competitiveness."

"Understood, who is your biggest competitor?"

"Enterprises from Taiwan and China, and I heard that Russian companies have also left for Germany."

"Enterprises in Taiwan Province? I remember seeing data not long ago that the losses of DRAM manufacturers in Taiwan Province in the first three quarters seemed to exceed 3 billion yuan, right? Moreover, the entire Taiwan Province has reduced production by 30%, which is the region with the highest production reduction in the world."

Li Zhiqiang began to explain the situation, "Samsung is the industry leader, but Qimonda's technology is not that attractive to them, and Samsung is now facing siege, so it doesn't dare to spend money lightly.

On the contrary, Taiwan Province and Neon Country are more interested in Qimonda, and are more willing to take risks to spend the money, so although everyone's life is difficult, they all want to win the risk. "

"I do know that the support of Neon Country to Elpida is very strong." Neon Country did support Elpida to a certain extent, but it was dragged down by the financial crisis and eventually went bankrupt." So what is the purpose of President Li coming to me today? Can Dafeng Group help Ziguang?"

Li Zhiqiang said seriously, "We want to take advantage of the reputation of the Dafeng Group, but Tsinghua Unigroup's international influence is not enough, so we would like to ask the Dafeng Group to help us negotiate."

When a company wants to acquire another company, it is very common to find a more powerful company as an intermediary, especially an intermediary related to this industry, the effect will be better.

Dafeng Group is also involved in the design and manufacture of semiconductors, as well as consumer products such as computers and mobile phones. It is indeed a perfect fit to be the promoter behind this.

Meng Qian is definitely willing to help with this matter, and it can stimulate the development of domestic memory and make Ziguang owe him a favor.

So Meng Qian directly agreed, but Meng Qian also raised his own concerns, "Is Ziguang ready to fight Samsung to the end?

This battle may continue for three or four years according to the current situation, and Tsinghua Unigroup may have to prepare for continuous losses of tens of billions. "

Li Zhiqiang is very firm, "Now that so many domestic companies are resisting, we Ziguang will not be afraid."

Meng Qian likes this attitude, "Ziguang has this determination, then I will help Ziguang again."

Li Zhiqiang was a little surprised, "What does Mr. Meng mean?"

"In the next two months, we will use LCD screens to help you drag Samsung and the capital of Neon Country in Taiwan."

"Is the LCD screen going to collapse?"

"Yes, but not quite the same as with memory."

Li Zhiqiang was puzzled, "What does Boss Meng mean by that?"

"Mr. Li will understand in a few days, just wait for the news."
