ASML, conference room.
"Mr. Feng, it's an honor for you to visit our company." Chairman Schmidt seemed very humble.
"Mr. Schmidt, I came to ASML specially to discuss a cooperation with you. I wonder if you are interested?" Fengyun said straight to the point, without any politeness.
"Mr. Feng, please tell me, what kind of cooperation is it?" Schmidt seemed very curious.
At the same time, an unrealistic idea arose in his mind. Could it be that Microsoft and Intel are going to cooperate with him?
"Mr. Schmidt, I believe you also know that in the field of lithography, CGA of the Lighthouse Country and Nikon and Canon of the Sakura Country basically monopolize more than 95% of the global market.
And your ASML's current main technology is also in the field of lithography. I wonder if my information is accurate?"
"Well, Mr. Feng, although we are a small company, we have our own technical reserves in the field of lithography, and I believe..."
"Okay, Mr. Schmidt, I didn't come here today to listen to your wishful thinking.
I admit that ASML is an excellent lithography company, but you are still a long way from CGA, Nikon and Canon." Fengyun interrupted the other party's conversation.
"Before coming to you, I once looked for CGA and wanted to discuss cooperation with them, but unfortunately, I think they are all a group of short-sighted arrogance." Brother Fengyun recounted his previous experience.
Schmidt listened very seriously, and at the same time, he was secretly happy in his heart.
CGA has always liked to be high and mighty, which is a well-known fact in the industry. They are still immersed in the glory of the past and refuse to face the reality.
Times have changed. They are no longer the CGA with a market share of more than 80% in the field of lithography machines. They have been eliminated and defeated by Nikon and Canon in the country of Sakura.
When they were still relying on Zeiss's lens technology, Nikon had surpassed him in all aspects. And occupied the vast market that once belonged to CGA.
"Well, I don't know how ASML can serve Mr. Feng?" Schmidt asked cautiously.
They are no longer a subsidiary of Philips, but have become completely independent.
In fact, their current life has been miserable.
Under the joint squeeze of giants such as CGA, Nikon, and Canon, they can only barely survive.
Just lingering on.
To use a sentence now, I'm too hard! It is a true portrayal of ASML at this time.
"Mr. Smith, CGA's arrogance will make him lose the entire market. Our Hongxing Group wants to find an overseas partner to develop the field of lithography machines, so I chose you, ASML.
I wonder what your company thinks, and whether you are willing to cooperate strategically with our Hongxing Group?"
"Hongxing Group?" Smith carefully recalled the company in his mind.
However, he found that his mind was blank, and he had never heard of this company.
"Sorry, Mr. Feng, I don't seem to have heard of this Hongxing Group?"
"Well, Hongxing Group has not been officially established yet. It is just a general name for some subsidiaries of our Hongxing.
Perhaps, Mr. Smith, you have heard of Hongxing UAV?"
Hearing Fengyun talking about UAVs, Smith immediately became interested.
"To be honest with you, Mr. Feng, I actually have a few drones in my collection at home, and their designs are really great.
However, I think there are still some flaws in their control chips. If we can use our company's lithography technology..."
"Mr. Smith, everyone is very busy at work, I won't beat around the bush, just name a price."
"What?" Smith was a little confused.
"I mean, our Hongxing Group wants to invest in ASML, or I personally want to invest in ASML."
Hearing that Fengyun's goal was to buy shares in his company, time froze here in an instant.
"That, Mr. Feng, shares in our company," Smith did not want to sell the company's shares.
However, he did not dare to reject Fengyun directly.
If they offended Microsoft and Intel in this field, they could just close down now.
"Mr. Feng, thank you for your appreciation of ASML. I can transfer 5% of the shares to you personally..."
"No, no, no, Mr. Smith, I think you may have misunderstood.
I am not simply going to acquire ASML's shares. To be honest,ASML is not qualified to cooperate with our Hong Hongxing Group.
We are now cooperating with Nikon at a relatively deep level.
I am only interested in ASML's technical reserves and potential, and of course, your personal ability as Chairman. "
After Fengyun's explanation, Smith was even more confused.
"I don't know why you insist on ASML's shares, Mr. Feng?"
"I have a plan. In the next 2 to 3 years, we will first unite Nikon and Canon to completely kick CGA out.
These damn white guys should pay the corresponding price for their arrogance." Brother Fengyun said calmly.
However, Smith's face was a little embarrassed. He himself was a white guy in Fengyun's mouth.
Seeing the embarrassed expression on the other's face flash by, Fengyun quickly explained: "Mr. Smith, I'm sorry, I'm not talking about you."
"Understand, understand."
"After kicking CGA out of the lithography machine market, there will be a huge space left in the market.
But for us businessmen, a monopoly is not a good thing.
If Nikon and Canon dominate this market, it may be another disaster for my industry.
So, I chose you, ASML. I hope that you, ASML, will fill the huge blank market after the collapse of CGA.
In other words, I will provide you with a lot of orders, from Microsoft to Intel, and even some orders from IBM.
In addition, although Hongxing Semiconductor and Hongxing Image Processing are only two newly established companies, they also have extraordinary potential in the wafer foundry market and image processing market.
I don’t need to introduce the names of Zhang Zhongmou and Huang Renxun. "
As Fengyun’s voice fell, Schmidt’s heart began to beat violently.
He had a vague premonition that this was an opportunity for ASML, and he must seize this opportunity, and there is a possibility that he will soar in the future...
