Rebirth began in 2004

The appearance of the mete laptop is absolutely beautiful.

Hengtong Technology attaches great importance to industrial design. Product performance may not be good, but the appearance must be beautiful.

We need to make customers feel that the product is a good product as soon as they see it.

Chen Wei pondered for a moment: "In mid-August, at this time, major colleges and universities are about to start school. The homes of freshmen have also begun to prepare items for their children to use in college."

Tang Yan continued: "So, for the freshmen who have started school, we are going to launch a special promotion. Freshmen can use their admission notice to buy mobile phones, tablets, and computers at the store to get discounts."

"Three pieces for the start of school!"

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Mobile phones, tablets and computers are just the three-piece set for the start of school!"

Putting it this way, it seems that these three things are really useful in schools.

"We can't just give discounts like this to freshmen. The discounts for the first semester must be promoted to all current students."

"OK!"

The back-to-school season is indeed a peak for sales of electronic products.

When I was in high school, the things that my parents were very guarded against were suddenly let go after I got to college.

To be honest, this is really not very good.

Everything must be done step by step. If you do it all at once, things can easily go wrong.

How to determine the strength of the discount is naturally decided by the sales department, and Chen Wei will not interfere in this matter.

Since he came to Shanghai, Chen Wei went to visit a company, Shanghai Microelectronics!

Shanghai Microelectronics was established in 2002, which is only eight years ago.

In 2008, Shencheng Microelectronics successfully developed a 90nm front-end lithography machine system, but the core components were all purchased from abroad.

Directly embargoed by foreign manufacturers, domestic 90nm front-end lithography machines have been reduced to decorations and cannot be commercially used at all.

The research and development of photolithography machines has never been something that one company can handle. This is a strange thing growing up in the industrial system!

If the industrial system is not good, it will not be possible!

13 subsystems, 30,000 mechanical parts, and more than 200 sensors. Is this something that one company can handle?

ASML may not be considered a Dutch company, but in fact this company is able to develop the world's most advanced photolithography machines because it is rooted in the industrial systems of the entire European and American countries.

"We currently have no solution for front-end lithography machines, so the company turned to the research and development of back-end lithography machines!"

Lithography machines are divided into front-end lithography machines and back-end lithography machines. The front-end lithography machines are used for chip lithography. They mainly face customers such as PMC and Huaxin International.

The back-end lithography machine is mainly used for chip packaging.

The technical difficulty of back-end lithography machines is much lower than that of front-end lithography machines.

Chen Wei: "There is still a market for back-end packaging lithography machines and LCD flat panel lithography machines."

Originally, Chen Wei thought that as long as he spent money, he could quickly catch up with the ASML company in the level of photolithography machines.

Now it seems that just throwing money at it is simply not enough.

Spending money is not only for Shencheng Microelectronics, but also for the entire industrial system. Industrial upgrading is really something that cannot be delayed.

"Mr. He, are you short of money now? Hengtong Investment is willing to invest a sum of money in you to support your research and development."

He Mingjun couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Although Shencheng Microelectronics is one of the 02 special project companies, the financial support that Shencheng Microelectronics can get is also limited.

In recent years, the state has invested more and more in scientific research, but there are so many areas where investment is needed. Shencheng Microelectronics does not seem to be so urgent.

After all, the channels for purchasing chips for civilian use from the international market are still very open.

As for military chips, it is quite troublesome.

Compared with civilian chips that require large amounts of production, the production volume of military chips is relatively small.

I can think of a way to solve it.

"Dr. Wei, thank you so much!"

The major shareholder of Shanghai Microelectronics is a state-owned enterprise, so it is not easy for Shanghai Microelectronics to raise funds.

Chen Wei next visited the leaders of the Shencheng City Government and met and discussed with the major shareholders of Shencheng Microelectronics.

Shanghai City was quite surprised that Chen Wei was interested in investing in Shanghai Microelectronics.

After all, although Hengtong Technology now has a Red Bird chip, the foundry production of the chip is handed over to PMC.

In other words, as Chen Wei, there is absolutely no need to invest in Shanghai Microelectronics.

Naturally, Chen Wei could not say that he was preparing for a rainy day.

Chen Wei also doesn’t know whether the future development of Hengtong Technology will be targeted by the other side of the Pacific.

But Chen Wei now knows one thing very well, that is, some things must be prepared in advance.

Across the Pacific, after the 2008 economic crisis, it was clear that it was feeling weak.

Just like when a person suffers from a serious illness, he cannot help but experience obvious changes in his mentality.

A country is made up of people, and naturally some things are also connected.

When you are not confident in your own strength, the first thing you do is not to improve your own strength, but to eliminate those who can threaten you.

If you can't eradicate it, then find ways to impose various restrictions!

When you have such a mentality, you have obviously fallen behind.

But, in the face of this kind of suppression, most people really can’t handle it.

For example, Neon Kingdom immediately kneeled down.

Europe stood up and resisted, but it didn't look like it was going to work.

Northern Russia is quite tough.

Chen Wei is not very clear about some things.

To put it directly, it is for the development of China's semiconductor industry.

It was finally decided that Hengtong Investment would take a stake in Shencheng Microelectronics.

In terms of management and operation, Shencheng Microelectronics must carry out reforms. It cannot regard itself as a supported enterprise, but must find ways to achieve its own development without relying on support.

Shanghai Microelectronics must be a combat-effective enterprise.

Instead of becoming a "mama's boy", Chen Wei cannot accept this.

Hengtong Investment invested RMB 500 million, accounting for 6% of the shares of Shencheng Microelectronics.

Shencheng Microelectronics is technically advanced, as evidenced by its ability to develop a 90nm front-end lithography machine.

But if the photolithography machine cannot be commercially produced, then for a company, it is a failed project.

On the contrary, the market value will decrease.

Therefore, at this time, the valuation of Shencheng Microelectronics is not that high.

The valuation of a company depends on the market situation.

For example, in 2018, the market value of Shencheng Microelectronics can quickly increase.

Hengtong invested in Shencheng Microelectronics. The biggest change for Shencheng Microelectronics is that it has access to capital and allows it to use capital to achieve its goals.

It is no longer about relying on state funding to survive, but starting to rely on investors’ money.

If you want to get investors' money, you have to achieve results.

Chen Wei did not stay in Shanghai longer, but asked Hengtong Investment to send someone over to take over the matter.

Back in Chengdu, Chen Wei was no longer planning to run away, but was staying at home.
