There was a ceiling theory in the market.
The ceiling theory said that the space on the ceiling was relatively limited.
If someone else occupied the ceiling, then it would be difficult to stand on it.
And even if you could stand on it, the other person would have to step down.
Compared to kicking others out, it was undoubtedly much easier to reach the ceiling in a new field.
Although Chen Yu's valuation was sky-high, he was not wrong at all.
There were a series of giants in other fields, and it was already difficult for them to enter.
Even if they had the money, these giants might not accept their financing.
The video field could be said to be the last ticket to the Internet field.
The result was not unexpected. After a group of capitalists met to discuss, they finally agreed to Chen Yu's 20 billion USD valuation.
…
"Boss Chen, the data is out."
On the other side of the ocean, Chen Yu received a call from Lin Benang.
"So fast?"
"Actually, this data is not difficult. I had an idea before. Plus, Boss Chen is so supportive of us, and the equipment you bought is good enough, so we calculated the early data."
"Great."
He did not expect Lin Benang to be so good at execution.
In such a short time, the series of data problems encountered by the lithography machine that Chen Yu mentioned before were solved.
"What are you going to do next?"
"Boss Chen, here's what I think. Our lithography machine plan started from scratch. If we start everything from scratch, it will take a long time. My suggestion is to first acquire a lithography machine company, and then research our wet lithography technology on this basis. "
"Acquire Nikon?"
"Boss Chen, your appetite is too big. Even if we can afford it, they won't sell."
"Uh, which company do we buy? Do we have a company in the field of lithography machines?"
"There is one, Hucheng Microelectronics. Although their technology is relatively different from Nikon and ASML, as long as our wet lithography technology is successful, we can definitely surpass them in three years."
"Okay, how much is this company worth?"
"About 5 billion."
"What about the research cost?"
"The first batch may cost 10 billion."
After thinking about it, Lin Benang gave a number.
Of course, 10 billion was not enough, even for the first installment.
However, considering the situation of Huanyu Technologies, Lin Benan still reported it as small as possible.
However, Chen Yu understood what Lin Benbo meant. "Hehe, are you worried that the company doesn't have enough money? How can 10 billion be enough? How about this, I'll give you 20 billion. "
With Huanyu's successful financing, Chen Yu was confident.
He wished he could say to Lin Benang, "Don't be polite with me, I'm a tycoon."
"20 billion?"
Lin Benba was startled.
"What? Is 20 billion not enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough. 20 billion for the first phase of research is more than enough."
"It's fine. Just invest more generously in your research. In addition, the acquisition of that microelectronics company should be faster. If they don't sell it to us for 5 billion, we'll sell it to them for 6 billion. If they don't sell it to us for 6 billion, we'll sell it to them for 8 billion.
What the domestic lithography machine lacked was time.
The method that Chen Yu was using now was to buy time with money.
"Boss Chen, will this cause a problem for the company's cash flow?"
"What problem? Don't worry. Not to mention the first phase, I'll help you settle the funds needed for your entire wet lithography technology."
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Benba wasn't here, Chen Yu really wanted to show him his bank account.
A few days ago, Chen Yu relied on Huanyu Video to raise 8 billion USD.
Although 8 billion USD might not be enough to complete the wet lithography technology, Chen Yu was confident that after a while, the valuation of Huanyu Video could double. If he were to go public, not to mention one photolithography machine company, he would be able to handle two of them.
…
"Brin, there must be something we haven't found on Huanyu Video."
"Page, what are you talking about?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't be so depressed."
Page, the founder of Google, was already going crazy.
He clearly felt that there was something he hadn't found on Huanyu Video, but he didn't know what it was.
This was not a good feeling.
"Page, there's no need to be so anxious. We still have a traffic advantage."
"We have a traffic advantage now, but that might not be the case in the future."
"Actually, it's not like there's no way. How about we start burning money?"
Brin suggested to Page.
"Burn money?"
This suggestion made Page's eyes light up.
The scariest thing about the internet was not technology or operation, but burning money.
As long as you had money, you could burn a famous internet website.
As long as you burned the other party until they ran out of money, you would succeed.
"Brin, your suggestion is good."
Page suddenly felt a lot better.
Youtobe had raised a huge sum of money before. If they started burning money, Huanyu Video would definitely not be able to withstand it.
However, just as Google was about to start burning money, the media broke out.
However, the media revealed a piece of news. Huanyu Video had received an offer from Devil's Root Investment, which was valued at 20 billion USD.
…
"Zhang Lei, what do you think of Lin Benan's wet lithography technology?"
At TSMC, Zhang Zhongmou took out a report from the bottom of his drawer.
This was the wet lithography technology feasibility proposal written by Lin Benan previously.
However, Zhang Zhongmou did not reply back then because of other reasons.
However, humans were strange creatures.
When Lin Benan went to Huanyu Technologies, Zhang Zhongmou felt extremely regretful.
"Boss Zhang, although Lin Benan's proposal seems feasible, the amount of money required is way too much. It's not something a company can afford. Also, if it fails, it will be a devastating blow to the company. "
"But what if it succeeds?"
"This …"
Zhang Lei was a little hesitant, but he still said, "Boss Zhang, don't worry. Huanyu Technologies can't afford it."
"Can't afford it?"
Zhang Zhongmou shook his head and said, "Don't forget that Huanyu Technologies has a hen that lays golden eggs."
This hen was referring to WeChat Moments.
Huanyu Technologies' LCD display business and Guanlan Park's OEM electronics OEM business were all funded by WeChat Moments. Although WeChat Moments did not directly give the money to Huanyu Technologies, Huanyu Technologies was the largest shareholder of WeChat Moments. It was easy for them to transfer money from one hand to the other.
"Boss Zhang, because Chen Yu took too much from WeChat Moments, they didn't dare to continue borrowing money. Unless Huanyu Technologies creates another company with a valuation of tens of billions of USD like WeChat Moments. "
After Zhang Lei finished speaking, Zhang Zhongmou stared straight at him.
"Boss Zhang?"
Zhang Lei felt a little resentful after being stared at by Zhang Zhongmou.
"Check if Huanyu Technologies has the capital to contact them recently."
He checked.
Zhang Zhongmou was in a daze.
His intuition told him that TSMC would have a lot of challenges in the semiconductor business in the future.
