"Is something wrong? It can't be a woman."

Julia looked Kaos up and down, and the bored look on her face finally changed. She frowned and asked suspiciously.

"Of course not, I'm not a lower body animal."

Kaos rolled his eyes at Julia. Kaos would never approve of this willful woman slandering him like this.

Although he has been surrounded by several women these days, they are definitely just embellishments in his life. He is a man who puts his career first.

As if to prove his words, Kaos placed a thick stack of information in front of Julia, as thick as an Oxford dictionary, and motioned for her to take a look.

"You are studying the equity structure of South Korea's Samsung Group. Are you planning to buy its shares?"

Naturally, Julia would not read through all the information. Instead, she briefly glanced at the catalog and then looked up at Kaos.

"Yeah, but I'm ready to give up now. It seems that the other company's equity structure currently has no flaws at all. If you invest money, you can only wait for the stock to appreciate and then cash out, without having any say in the other company's internal affairs.

"

They say they are ready to give up, but in fact Kaos has already given up. The most difficult period for Samsung was during the Southeast Asian financial crisis in 1997. It was also the best time to intervene, but at that time Kaos was the business.

It has just started and there is simply not enough capital to get involved.

At the same time, I had no background to join. I just made a fortune in foreign exchange and then withdrew. I didn’t even join the foreign exchange operation against South Korea.

You must know that the 1997 financial crisis can be said to be a conspiracy. In the end, it was the capital forces led by the IMF that really bought the Korean market. As a little shrimp in Kaos at the time, it was an act to seek death if they dared to show their heads and enter.

Samsung also took advantage of this opportunity to develop and grow in one fell swoop and became a regional national chaebol.

But being able to find opportunities and grow stronger in such a crisis, the Samsung Li family is obviously not mediocre people, and even looking from some places, the other party is a more capable strongman than Xiao Ma and others.

During this period of time in Kaos, I have carefully studied the Samsung Li family's control over the group and the complexity of the other party's equity structure, and I have very deep feelings about it.

Although most of the entire group's shares are controlled by foreign capital, in fact, the internal control rights are still firmly controlled by the Li family, making Kaos not optimistic about the right to speak after getting involved.

Unless they use violent means to force the other party to hand over control of the group, if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is precisely because foreign capital firmly controls a large number of shares that the use of force is not feasible.

After all, although the capital is powerful, Kaos is not all the capital, but only one of the forces. If you want to use means to intervene and let other foreign capital forces let go, you will have to provide far more generous benefits than Samsung.

But such benefits are obviously hard to find. This is not to say how high Samsung’s market value is, but simply because with the split of Hyundai Group, Samsung Group has already formed the embryonic form of a regional chaebol, so it cannot be measured simply by money.

.

As long as Samsung does not collapse, South Korea will be a money printing machine that can produce a steady stream of output. The advantage is that it looks more attractive than Google in Kaos' hands.

After all, Google can go bankrupt in the United States, but Samsung cannot have problems in South Korea. This is the huge difference between the two companies.

The commercial use within the rules makes it impossible for Kaos to have a say under Samsung's complex equity structure, while the methods outside the rules are watched by dozens of capital institutions, which also prevents Kaos from taking action.

.

Under such circumstances, Kaos could only give up temporarily.

However, although it is said that it has given up on Samsung, it does not prevent Kaos from finding new targets, such as TSMC or ASML.

.....................

“It’s so comfortable.”

In a hot spring hotel in Hsinchu City, Taiwan, Kaos slowly sat in the hot spring pool and let out a sigh of enjoyment.

"Boss, it's not very good for you to choose to soak in the same pool with me."

Opposite Kaos, Lin Zhiling was soaking in the pool at the same time. Due to the hot temperature, her cheeks were slightly flushed.

"Everything is required for work."

He squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Zhiling. He was wearing a black three-point swimsuit with a thin layer of gauze on the outside, which made his beautiful figure even more charming.

"If you want it, just be direct. Don't look at me like that. It makes me very uncomfortable."

Lin Zhiling crossed his arms to block the scenery on his body, turned his head to the left, and spoke in a shy voice.

"Hey, you really don't understand me. Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. I don't want to have all kinds of trouble at work."

With his hand on the edge of the pool and his fingers slightly supporting his forehead, Kaos picked up a glass of sake from the edge of the pool and drank it in one gulp. Then he smiled and said again: "You said TSMC and ASML would agree to let us also join EUV light."

Research and development of engraving machines?”

"Of course they will agree. It's just a matter of giving us a share. If we join, their investment risks will be shared. After all, no one can guarantee the success of such a scientific research project investment."

Seeing Kaos take his eyes away from her, Lin Zhiling breathed a sigh of relief and said with certainty.

Although what she studied in school had nothing to do with these, she had been exposed to a lot of them during her work over the years, especially since Google itself had many research projects, so she still understood the business operations involved.

Besides, research on lithography machines is not just about ASML. RB next door is also investing heavily. Before both parties have products and technologies to completely break through, and it is still undecided who will win, one more investor can indeed bring more benefits.

It is the correct and wise choice to invest more manpower, material resources and funds.

Even Google is like this now. In addition to its own core projects, it is also acquiring some cautious technology companies from outside and working with them to make technological breakthroughs.

"Yes, they will agree, but this is not a very profitable business."

Kaos agreed with Lin Zhiling's analysis, but when he leaned his neck on the edge of the bath and looked up at the roof, he couldn't help but complain.

If you look at the rich people on China's wealth list in the future, you will understand how sad it is to see how many of them made their fortune in industry and how many of them are engaged in cutting-edge technology research and development.

Companies that are really engaged in the production of top equipment do not mean that profits are low and they are not profitable. On the contrary, the profits are astonishingly high. However, the investment in research and development is also even more astonishing. The final result is profits, which is not as high as I believe.

of richness.

At least now, Kaos has many projects that are more profitable than this EUV lithography machine. Even if it is all invested in buying a house in the mainland, the appreciation rate will be higher than the profit earned by the EUV lithography machine.

.

In the future, after ASML's photolithography machine becomes successful, there won't be much profit at all.

On the contrary, more funds are needed to ensure its continuous leadership in the technological field, and later generations even attracted well-known giants such as Intel and Samsung to become shareholders of their own companies, allowing them to share part of their research funds.

But some things are not calculated in terms of money, just like the Amap of later generations, which keeps losing money, but groups like M and various software companies continue to invest in order to ensure the survival of the other party, because

Without Amap, their software maps will not be usable.

EUV lithography machines are such a crucial part of future chip production. Without EUV lithography machines, there is no hope of making any progress in the chip field.

Among the future plans of Kaos, there is chip research and development, so this goal must also be taken a bite. After all, if you invest one day earlier, you will spend less money to invest in the future, and you can have more words in it.

right.

For example, one day in the future, it will be used to suppress Samsung, a competitor.

After enjoying the comfort of the hot spring bath for a while, the mobile phone next to Lin Zhiling suddenly rang. He answered the phone without saying a word, but listened to the other party's report. After finishing the report, he hung up the phone and reported the report to Kaos.

: "Peter Wennink is already here."

"Well, let's go out too."

Kaos was silent for a while, then took the towel off his face, stood up from the pool, walked to the shore and opened his hands, as if waiting for someone to serve him.

Lin Zhiling has long been used to Kaos's appearance as an uncle. It's not that Kaos doesn't have the ability to take care of himself. After all, in front of Lin Yifei, Kaos usually does things like peeling apples, cooking and washing dishes. In fact, Kaos

All done well.

But obviously she is not qualified to enjoy these jobs. Kaos always likes to be served in front of her, and has a tendency to become more and more bossy.

However, this also made Lin Zhiling's ability improve rapidly. Kaos could almost reach out and wink, and Lin Zhiling could understand it. But he didn't know if such an ability, combined with other aspects of cooperation, would lead to such spiritual communication.

The human sword merges into one, reaching the realm of heaven and man.

While waiting to put on the bathrobe and bath pants, Lin Zhiling looked at Kaos' energetic and high-spirited state. The blush on his cheeks after just soaking in the hot spring became more obvious.

Lin Zhiling's reaction just made Kaos smile and strode out of the hot spring bathroom.
