Hua Wei headquarters building, in an office.
"What? You want 51% of Si Hai’s shares?"
"Exactly."
"Um... you’re not joking? Are you sure you understand the current value of Si Hai?"
"Of course. According to current market projections, Si Hai’s total profit for 2018 would be around 10 billion RMB, and with the price-to-earnings ratio of high-tech companies, its market value should be more than 200 billion."
"So, you want to take away 100 billion right off the bat? Even the control of the company?"
"Haha! Mr. Ren, I believe you understand that this is its current value, not its future.
If the chip manufacturing sector gets blocked, Si Hai’s market share could very well drop to zero.
In a sense, what I’m buying is the future options of Si Hai."
"..."
"This is ultimately just a speculation."
"Since it’s a speculation, then why did you initiate the Nanniwan project? Your company’s strategic intelligence departnt must have picked up on the latest international trends."
"..."
"How did you know about the Nanniwan plan?"
"That’s not important. What matters is, with your insight, you should know that once this speculation becos reality, given the current dostic capabilities in chip manufacturing, the outco is almost inevitable."
"... Even so, we still have other paths to explore!"
"Of course. To my knowledge, you are preparing to engage in diversified research initiatives involving chip stacking, superconducting quantum chips, and Light Chip computing, trying to bypass manufacturing limitations."
"..."
"However, your strategic team should have also analyzed that these are not breakthroughs that Si Hai can achieve in the short term.
Assuming it takes five years for your technological breakthrough, plus one to two years for comrcialization, that ans seven years have passed.
In those seven years, Si Hai will not only fail to create value but will also beco a burden on you.
Including the subsidiary losses from chip shortages to your terminal business.
Don’t you think that the seven years of ti cost and market loss will far exceed 100 billion?"
"..."
"I must say, you are bold to speculate, but in seven years, no one knows what might happen; the difficulties we face may not develop in the worst case scenario.
It might just be a false alarm, and both sides might reach a compromise..."
"Of course. However, there’s a saying, ’One should not stake their survival on the rcy of an enemy,’ right?"
"... Even so, what can you change? We’re giving up 100 billion, what can you contribute?"
"Seven years, we can help Si Hai get out of trouble seven years in advance."
"What do you an?"
"Technical support. All that we can provide is technical support."
"Um... are you sure you’re talking tech with us?"
"Haha! Your company certainly has the right to be proud, but you might want to take a look at this technical introduction first."
"..."
"This... is this thing real?"
"Indeed. At the sa process level, ’A’ has a computing power 1,000 tis that of traditional chips, consus only 1% of the power, and possesses outstanding characteristics like low latency and resistance to electromagnetic interference.
Compared to electronic chips, this chip can achieve the sa computing power with a hundred-nanoter scale, reducing reliance on advanced technologies and eliminating the need for high-end lithography machines like EUV.
With existing technology in the Light Chip manufacturing field from dostic manufacturers, it’s completely possible to achieve the full manufacturing process of design, processing, packaging, and testing."
Lithography machines, core IP, manufacturing, packaging, testing, and other traditional dependencies on foreign manufacturers were, for it, practically non-existent!
The key was that it adopted a hybrid optoelectronic transitional technology design, which could seamlessly interface with most of the world’s electronic devices that use electronic chips.
Once mass production was achieved, it could be widely used in almost all fields such as mobile phones, laptops, autonomous driving, intelligent robots, drones, etc.
"...How can I believe that this isn’t just a ’ppt’?"
"As you know, that would be aningless, you can completely start with a technical verification first.
I also wouldn’t have needed to travel thousands of miles to be here, to tell a lie that falls apart upon the slightest touch.
Again, 51% of the shares in exchange for perpetual technology sharing, and my side can also provide the corresponding EDA design software to assist the excellent chip design team at Si Hai in further optimizing and upgrading this chip in the future.
Here are the related contracts, and a bet agreent, which stipulates that if this technology fails to et the design expectations, all shares can be taken back by you.
We both get what we need, it’s a win-win."
"This... This technology is indeed shocking, I have never heard of any team achieving such significant accomplishnts in this field, dostically or abroad. May I ask which company your research team is from?"
"I’m sorry, that has to remain confidential for now. Our cooperation will also be under confidential status for the foreseeable future."
"Why does it need to be confidential? Such an honor, no team could remain indifferent, right? Why not step into the lilight?"
"Ha! Mr. Ren jests, knowing full well that the enemy’s fire is on its way, there’s no need to drag another person into sharing the gunfire, right?
Rather than drawing fire to oneself, better to watch the blaze from across the shore!"
"Uh... but I feel like, you’re exploiting the crisis to your advantage?"
"Have you ever seen a thief, carrying treasures of imasurable value, rush into a fire to loot? At most, we are taking chestnuts out of the fire."
"So, by providing just one technology, you want us to take the brunt of the attack and attract the gunfire, while you comfortably watch from the sidelines, taking chestnuts out of the fire?"
"The analogy isn’t quite appropriate. I’d rather liken it to the Battle of Red Cliffs, where the allied forces of Sun and Liu defeated Cao’s army with fire attacks.
We may have only brought a Zhuge Liang, but you are fully equipped yet just lacking a Zhuge Liang’s Dongfeng, which we have brought to you..."
"Uh... Hahaha! What a Dongfeng, Miss Gao indeed has a way with words!
Then, could you tell , who exactly is behind you, wanting to take chestnuts out of the fire?"
"Who it is doesn’t matter, what matters is friendship!"
"Friendship... you aren’t... people from the governnt, are you?"
"..."
"Cough! No comnt!"
"... All right, if the technology is real, I think... it has sufficient allure, I’ll seriously consider it."
"Then I’ll await your good news."
"Uh... Are you so confident that the news you await will be good?
After all, this thing could be both a cure and a poison, and might even attract fiercer fire..."
"Heh! As the saying goes, Jiangsu and Zhejiang dare to lead the world, Hujian loves to gamble to win, East Guang pioneers new frontiers!
I believe, Mr. Ren, you don’t lack the courage to pioneer a new frontier.
If this new frontier is beautiful enough, why not let the gunfire co even more fiercely?"
"The new world you described is certainly beautiful, but are you sure... we won’t be cannon fodder?"
"In the tumultuous era, we all are cannon fodder, and we all are warriors, aren’t we?"
"..."
"Hahaha! Miss Gao, a woman who does not allow n to overshadow her! Disregarding other aspects for a mont, personally, I would very much like to beco your collaborator!"
"I believe, those who co together for mutual benefit are called collaborators.
If there’s a common goal, I would rather call them... allies!"
