"It is the country's base for snow sports and a popular destination for ski tourism in winter.Does everyone have a foundation in skiing?
If not, I'll take you to the beginner slopes first. ”The guide is very responsible, and everyone is reminded to pay attention to safety along the way.Especially for skiing, it is better for those who have no foundation to be honest on beginner slopes.Xiao Bai smiled and nodded, and asked the tour guide to take everyone to the beginner slope.Although everyone has experience in skiing, but they are not familiar with the situation here, let's start with the simplest.In fact, if you are not looking for excitement, you can have a lot of fun on the beginner slopes.Afternoon.Xiao Bai and the others returned to Fengxue Mountain Villa."
Ah Bai, isn't that Lao Guo?"
The group got out of the car in front of the villa, Tian Chunxiu had sharp eyes and saw an acquaintance.When Xiao Bai heard this, he looked back and saw that there were several people standing at the door of Villa No. 3 not far away, one of which was Guo Xiaodong.It just so happened that Guo Xiaodong and the others also noticed the situation here.Xiao Bai and his entourage lived in Villas 1 and 2, which used to be Villa 3, and everyone was not far apart."
Xiao Dong!"
Guo Xiaodong saw Xiao Bai, so he ran over."
Lao Guo, why are you here?
I didn't expect to meet you here. ”Guo Xiaodong greeted Liu Xiaoling and Tian Chunxiu first, and Xiao Bai motioned for them to go into the house first.The climate here is really cold, and you can freeze through it if you stand for a while.Xiao Bai immediately moved his steps, Guo Xiaodong followed him, and the two talked as they walked."
They were talking to me about a financing, and they offered to come here to meet, ski, talk about projects, so I came."
Guo Xiaodong whispered to Xiao Bai that Pudong Microlight Jinke intends to carry out a second round of financing.He's been talking to each other a few times, and he's doing well, and this time he's here to finalize the last few key issues, while also going on a ski vacation."
Lao Guo, you go and get busy with you first, and we'll talk when we're free."
This time, Microlight Jinke came to a (director) vice president and several middle-level managers, which shows that it still attaches great importance to financing.Xiao Bai smiled and said that Guo Xiaodong didn't have to care about himself, his work was important."
Then I'll go over first, and I'll come back to you in the evening."
Guo Xiaodong didn't want to leave the people of Shimmer Jingke aside, he sent Xiao Bai to the door, and then turned to leave."
Xiao Tong, you ask someone to check the financing situation of Microlight Jinke, and tell me back, I want to know about it."
Xiao Bai travels, Tong Wanqing and He Changfeng will basically follow.Liu Xiaoling and Tian Chunxiu are similar, and they also brought assistants with them when they went on vacation, for fear that the company would have something unexpected to deal with.Back in the house, Xiao Bai called Tong Wanqing and gave her a task.Tong Wanqing answered, and then went to call.It didn't take long for her to bring a fax and report to Xiao Bai in person.Pudong Microlight Jinke Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in etching equipment.Xiao Bai knew about this company, and the other party was also on the list of domestic substitution plans, and Times IC Manufacturing also had a little business dealings with the other party.However, Xiao Bai did not know the financing situation of the other party."
Xiao Dong, Microlight Jinke Company was founded by several technical elites who returned from overseas, and the company's key development direction is etching equipment.The company's first round of financing received $27 million in venture capital funds, and this round of financing is the second round of financing, with the goal of raising $300 million in funds. ”Tong Wanqing said that Microlight Jinko is still the absolute controlling shareholder of the founding team, and the venture capital company only obtained 5% of the equity in the first round of financing at that time."
Well, I'll put the information there for you, I know the situation."
Xiao Bai nodded, and then sent Tong Wanqing out.He wanted to know about this because etching equipment is also important in the manufacturing process of ICs.If the other party's conditions are not very harsh, he will support Guo Xiaodong to win this project.Xiao Bai rested for a while, and soon it was time for dinner.Dinner is prepared by Wind Snow Mountain Lodge and will be delivered to the villa in a moment.As a result, the meal had not yet been delivered, and Guo Xiaodong knocked on the door and left the house."
Xiao Dong, are you resting?
Vice President Qi of Shimmer Jinke heard that you happened to be there, so he asked me to come over and invite you to sit down and have two drinks by the way. ”Guo Xiaodong saw Xiao Bai, and when he returned to Villa No. 3, Vice President Qi asked curiously.At that time, he saw that Guo Xiaodong attached great importance to that person, and felt that the other party's identity was not ordinary.There is no need to hide this kind of thing, Guo Xiaodong told the truth.Vice President Qi wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Xiao Bai, if he usually found it difficult for him to get in front of this big guy, so he pestered Guo Xiaodong to ask the other party to invite Xiao Bai."
It's okay for me to go over for a while, but let's say okay first, I'll go over and have two glasses of wine, sit for a while and leave."
Xiao Bai doesn't have much of a fight, but he is out on vacation, so he wants to spend more time with his family, so this kind of entertainment can be avoided.If Guo Xiaodong hadn't come to invite him, he really didn't want to go."
No problem, no problem.Mr.
Qi, they also want to get to know you, the head of the era department, you just give face, and you won't be delayed for too long. ”Guo Xiaodong had thought of a lot of rhetoric that didn't work, so Xiao Bai agreed to go over and sit with him.His face immediately burst into laughter, and he hurriedly agreed to Xiao Bai's conditions, and dragged the other party to Villa No. 3.Xiao Bai entered the house, and Vice President Qi and others hurriedly stood up, not only enthusiastic, but also lowered their postures."
Sit down, stand up, do you?"
Xiao Bai smiled and said hello to a few people, and Guo Xiaodong stepped forward to introduce the two parties.The guest and the host sat down, and complimented Xiao Bai again.Xiao Bai smiled and said a few words of humility, giving the impression of being very modest and without any arrogance.However, Xiao Baizhen didn't stay long, drank a total of three glasses of wine, and left.Guo Xiaodong was still in charge of sending him back."
Lao Guo, don't do all this nonsense, go back quickly."
Xiao Bai saw that Guo Xiaodong was busy, and knew that the other party must have some careful thoughts.But he didn't bother to pay attention to it, after all, everyone is classmates, and he can help with some small things.Guo Xiaodong then returned to Villa No. 3.He is still very happy that Xiao Bai can give himself face.This time, I talked about financing with Microlight Jinke, which went smoothly in the early stage, and finally got stuck in the valuation section.Microlight Jinke wanted to raise $300 million, but was only willing to take out 12% of the shares, which made Guo Xiaodong find it difficult to accept.However, the development prospects of Shimmer Jinke are still good, and he is very optimistic about the other party, so he has the patience to negotiate repeatedly.After several rounds of negotiations, Shimmer Jinke is still unwilling to compromise.Today, I happened to meet Xiao Bai in the villa, and Vice President Qi and others were very eager to get to know the head of the era department, which made Guo Xiaodong seize a trace of inspiration.After entering the house, Guo Xiaodong sat down casually and continued to drink.After everyone had a little bit of wine, he picked up his wine glass and touched a glass with Vice President Qi alone, and then said, "Mr.
Qi, this is the last time we negotiate."
If you still can't negotiate, then I will give up participating in your company's second round of financing, originally I also planned to talk to Xiao Dong after the negotiation, and let him help purchase more of your etching equipment. ”As soon as he said this, the room suddenly fell silent.Why are Vice President Qi and others so keen to know Xiao Bai?
I'm afraid it's not just because of the bigwig's fame, but more importantly, because I want to have a good relationship with the times.They had also heard that M&Ahead Capital had a background in the era department, but on the bright side, no one could figure out the specific situation.I didn't expect Guo Xiaodong to really ask Xiao Bai, and they will definitely have to re-evaluate some things after today.But at this juncture, Guo Xiaodong suddenly showed a strong side.This had to make Vice President Qi and others think about it."
Mr.
Guo, don't be so anxious, how can you not negotiate business in this world?
Come on, don't talk about those things that are uninteresting, just drink and don't talk about anything else today. ”Vice President Qi gave a look, and one of his subordinates understood, and immediately picked up his wine glass and diverted the topic.Although the expression on Guo Xiaodong's face was still a little unpleasant, he did not refute the other party's face, and the atmosphere in the room soon became harmonious again.Following.Xiao Bai continued to accompany Liu Xiaoling, Tian Chunxiu, Chenchen and Ziyu to play in the international ski resort.Today, everyone sat on a snowmobile through the mountains and forests, which was a lot of fun.After a day of playing, he had long forgotten about Guo Xiaodong's tiger skin pulling the banner.After dinner.Guo Xiaodong came to Villa No. 1 again to meet Xiao Bai."
Lao Guo, look at your beaming appearance, the financing project has been negotiated?"
Xiao Bai knows Guo Xiaodong very well, whenever this guy has something good, he looks proud.Of course, this kind of character of his will only be displayed in front of people who are very close to him, and on the outside, he is not so superficial."
Xiao Dong is really discerning, the project has been negotiated!
Vice President Qi is very difficult to deal with, and if you can reach a consensus with him, you are still stained with your light. ”Guo Xiaodong did not hide it, and talked in detail about the negotiation process with Vice President Qi and others today.Considering the importance of the Times Department to the future development of Microlight Jinke, Vice President Qi and others finally made major concessions."
We invested $300 million in Micro Vision and will receive a 20% stake in the company.This valuation is basically very reasonable, but the final agreement will have to wait for both parties to complete their respective review procedures. ”The investment of 300 million US dollars is not a small amount, Guo Xiaodong still has to be approved by Jiang Youwei, and finally reported to Xiao Bai.Vice President Qi's draft agreement requires the approval of the board of directors of Microcrystalline.Guo Xiaodong felt that there should be no variables, just wait for the signing."
Lao Guo, you have done a good job in this project, and you are very discerning.Don't worry, even if you can't reach an agreement with the other party, our IC manufacturing will support the development of the other party in the future, not to mention that you have become a shareholder of others. ”Xiao Bai doesn't mind Guo Xiaodong making some small moves, but when it comes to things like orders, he can't joke, and what he promised must be fulfilled.In fact, Guo Xiaodong dared to do this, and he got Xiao Bai's tacit approval yesterday, otherwise Xiao Bai would not have gone to see Vice President Qi and others at that time.With Xiao Bai's endorsement, Guo Xiaodong let go of his last bit of worry, and then he sat for less than ten minutes before leaving.Xiao Bai came to Fengxue Mountain Villa this time, obviously for a vacation.Guo Xiaodong didn't bother people too much, and he didn't see him again for a few days.Before Xiao Bai finished his vacation, he received a call from Guo Xiaodong, and the other party had already gone to Xiangjiang at this time.Xiao Bai and his party left the Wind and Snow Mountain Villa and returned to the Ice City.After resting in Bingcheng for two days, Tian Chunxiu flew back to ZH with Ziyu, and Xiao Bai and Liu Xiaoling took Chenchen back to Shencheng.On the first day of work, Xiao Bai received a report on Jiang Youwei's investment project, which was about investing $300 million in Microlight Jinke, and Xiao Bai directly signed and agreed to this investment.Subsequently, Xiao Bai called Wei Jianjun, Wei Xiaolou, Li Dong and others respectively, so that they could focus on verifying the etching equipment of Microcrystalline in the process of production line transformation and new factory construction.If there is nothing wrong with the performance and price of the equipment, buy as much as possible.The process of IC manufacturing is very complex, from wafer cutting, grinding, polishing to lithography, etching, cleaning and other processes, involving a lot of equipment and materials.Localization substitution is such a link by link, and the difficulty is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.But something has to be done, and every step of progress you get a little closer to success.It's tough, but there's hope.Xiao Bai is now racing against time, and every bit of progress will increase his strength, and he will have more confidence in the future changes.But sometimes people are not as good as heaven, and when you feel that you don't have enough time, time is really not enough.This morning.Xiao Bai saw Wei Jianjun with a serious expression on his face in the office."
Dong Xiao, I really have no choice this time, that's why I have to come to you.ASML informed us two days ago that some of the 28N lithography machines ordered by the company will continue to be delayed, and the specific delivery time is to be determined. ”After Wei Jianjun got the news, he didn't bother to call Xiao Bai, and flew directly to the airport to Shencheng.He ordered a total of four 28N lithography machines.Two of them, after a long wait, have arrived.There are two more units, and the arrival time is still far away.Times IC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has thoroughly mastered the 28N process technology, and has also passed the trial production stage and the risk mass production stage, and is preparing to enter the stage of mass production, but I didn't expect that there was a problem with the equipment supply.As a result, the planned capacity expansion will be greatly reduced."
Old Wei, don't panic yet, didn't you get two pieces of equipment!
I think you should first base yourself on the existing conditions and reach full production as soon as possible.It then continued to invest in the research and development of 14N process technology and ordered 14N lithography equipment from ASML. ”Xiao Bai felt that Wei Jianjun was a little panicked, and the repeated delays in the delivery of the ordered equipment were an ominous omen.Maybe someone is going to do something against Times IC Co., Ltd.It is imperative not to pay attention to these things, but to make good use of the existing equipment for production and continue to accumulate experience in production.At the same time, research and development cannot be stopped, and it is necessary to continue to increase equipment orders.
