Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 588 [Technology war has started]

In the past six years, Luo Sheng's investment in the domestic semiconductor industry chain is not enough to describe its exaggeration. More than 100 billion US dollars have been invested in the development of lithography equipment alone.

The scale of Shengfeng's capital assets exceeds 3 trillion yuan, and most of the fixed assets are invested in the field of integrated circuits.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is forcibly supporting a high-end industry on its own to move towards an independent and controllable path. Of course, behind this, the support of all parties is indispensable, especially the support of the state.

At the end, a semiconductor equipment manufacturer who attended the meeting knocked on his microphone and said, "Mr. Luo, the industry prospect is gratifying, but the current dilemma is the top priority. You can resist the blow of the old beauty, there is no problem, we are all I don't doubt it. But our little brothers don't have such a strong ability to fight, especially if our company is extremely dependent on North American equipment manufacturers, cut off the source of income, cut off equipment upgrades, and lose customers, the company can only last about three months. A capital chain crisis is bound to break out.”

The bosses who were present with difficulties in this regard nodded, as is the case with most companies, and it is already very good to be able to maintain capital operations for more than three months.

When someone opened the chat box, they all whispered to each other and discussed.

At this time, someone else said: "The stock market crash has just passed, and capital market financing is difficult, and I can't get a loan from a bank. It's difficult."

One person complained, and thousands responded.

Luo Sheng put his hands on the table and clasped his fingers together, listening to his friends and business partners beat down the bitter water, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth into a smile.

After a while, the CEOs of the semiconductor manufacturers who attended the meeting heard his relaxed laughter.

"I know that you have difficulties, so another very important purpose of inviting you to this joint meeting is to help you solve your difficulties."

What's the meaning?

Everyone looked at each other, seeing each other's eyes as full of doubts as their own.

No one would doubt that Luo Sheng has this ability to solve one or two problems. The funds needed to solve the problems of hundreds of supply chain partners at the same time are astronomical.

At the same time, Luo Sheng still smiled and added after a while: "Côte d'Azur will prepare a special fund pool of 175 billion US dollars, with an average of 58 billion US dollars per year, to provide funds for semiconductor-related manufacturers affected by the 'infinite traceability' mechanism. Lending service, which means that all of you here don’t have to worry about the company’s failure to sustain itself and starve to death in the next three years.”

Luo Sheng's voice echoed in the ears of every participant,

When they heard this, they only felt their heads buzzing, and everyone was petrified, and they were speechless.

175 billion US dollars, which is about 1 trillion yuan at the current exchange rate.

After everyone came back to their senses, there was a burst of exclamations in the conference hall like a frying pan, followed by constant private discussions.

The news should not be too shocking for them.

Do you really want to continue the life of a money-burning industry with your own power? There has never been such a precedent in history. After everyone reacted, they wondered if Luo Sheng was joking with them.

The head of Hua Hong Semiconductor stared at Luo Sheng and couldn't help but said, "Mr. Luo, don't mind if you say something offensive, according to a report from a third-party agency, your company's cash reserves should be hovering in the range of $100 billion, right? How can your company provide $175 billion in borrowing funds for the entire industry?"

The others nodded their heads when they heard it, and the voices of private discussions were still in their ears.

Everyone is in business, and this is a huge amount of capital. Even if Bluestar Technology and Shengfeng Capital are added, it is impossible to bring such a large amount of liquidity. Besides, the people present also understand Luo Sheng's own business operations. Expenses are also astronomical.

Now that this kind of incident occurs, Luo Sheng's corporate income will definitely be affected again.

What's more, the latest financial report disclosed by Bluestar Technology showed that Shengfeng Capital also borrowed a huge amount of money from Bluestar Technology to support the market.

Facing the doubts of many friends and business partners, Luo Sheng said calmly: "You don't have to worry about the source of funds, since I have explained the words in front of you, I will lend you the money. This is not a verbal promise, it can be written into the terms of the agreement. Of course, the interest will still be charged.”

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the last sentence, but in fact they heard the rhythm that they were going to faint, what kind of fairy meeting was this participating in...

Where did he get so much money?

"Mr. Luo, take the liberty to ask if the state provides financial support behind the scenes?" Someone couldn't help asking.

When the others heard this, they suddenly looked sideways, and suddenly felt that it was very likely that the country was indirectly supporting through Luo Sheng's hands. Besides, they really couldn't understand where Luo Sheng got so much money.

After thinking about it, only the support of the state can stand. After all, one-third of the shares of Shengfeng Capital come from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office. This is an open fact. In other words, the state does not directly support the semiconductor industry chain. Indirect means are supporting.

But after seeing Luo Sheng shaking his head in denial, everyone was shocked again.

Not the national team?

It just came out of nowhere?

Simply incredible.

Luo Sheng smiled indifferently: "I also want to ask the country to ask for money, but the country doesn't have so much money to allocate to me, so I can't find the country when I encounter difficulties. Fortunately, I can solve this matter, and I can do it from other places. get the money."

Everyone: "..."

The head of Hua Hong Semiconductor immediately asked, "What is the lending rate?"

Luo Sheng's selling off is mysterious, so there is no need to ask too much. As a leader in the contemporary global business and technology world, the credibility of the world's richest man is guaranteed.

Then in the business, Luo Sheng expressed his willingness to provide a special fund of 175 billion US dollars to "support" everyone's financial guarantee for three years, but this money is not given in vain, not only has to pay the corresponding interest.

In fact, this is also a major decision for the semiconductor manufacturers present. Choosing to continue with Luo Sheng means offending Lao Mei, which means that his name is in the other party's little black book.

If you don't go with Luo Sheng, then no matter what happens in today's meeting, it will have nothing to do with it, and it will also be marginalized.

Everyone knew that Luo Sheng would not allow the two or five boys to jump around at such a high price. If you bet the treasure on Luo Sheng, if you bet right, you will be full of money in the future.

You must know that the annual import quota of the semiconductor industry in Greater China exceeds 300 billion US dollars. This is a big piece of cake. There is no need to say too much. Domestic semiconductors must be able to kill a bloody road, which means that even if they are guarding the Greater China market, they can eat it. To support, and it is both fame and fortune.

Luo Sheng said in an orderly manner: "According to the current lending market, the inter-enterprise lending rate is generally between 10% and 24%. The lending rate is determined to be 11.52%. It depends on the scale assessment, but as long as the enterprises affected by the 'infinite traceability' mechanism follow me firmly, they will borrow at least RMB 750 million each year from me in the next three years, which is the guaranteed minimum amount."

The lending rate is generally determined according to the relationship between the supply and demand of funds in the lending market. With the diversified development of the market economy, lending has also appeared between enterprises. The lending is mainly negotiated by both parties as equal subjects, and the lending rate is also determined by the transaction. Both parties decide.

Hearing that there is a guarantee, the bosses present are like a reassurance pill. If the evaluation is determined, when the time comes, the old beauty will turn his face, and if we don't lend you money here, then we will die.

Having the guarantee means that there are some worries in the future. When Luo Sheng reported 750 million guaranteed loan funds per year, some people who were ready to follow Luo Sheng all the way but were a little worried were even more relieved.

This figure fully shows that Luo Sheng has a full understanding of the current status of major companies in the industry. 750 million may not allow sufficient funds, but it is no problem to survive and maintain the operation of the company.

The contact meeting lasted about an hour and a half before it ended, and all the major semiconductor manufacturers who attended the meeting also left.

When they walked out of the gate of the headquarters of the City of Galaxy, a large army of media reporters had been waiting outside for a long time. It was impossible to hide this meeting. The media had already received the news.

Figuratively speaking, this time Luo Sheng is equivalent to publishing "hero posts" as the leader of the domestic integrated circuit industry's martial arts alliance, and heroes from all walks of life have responded to the call to participate in this hero conference.

At this moment, when many friends and business partners left in twos and threes, they were also chatting with great interest as they walked.

"This trip is really worth it."

"Mr. Luo's writing has really refreshed my cognition again and again and subverted common sense."

"I still can't figure out where his money comes from even though I've been thinking about it."

"Let's wait and see, at least the 'Luo Sheng effect' has been strong so far."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, Mr. Liu, I originally wanted to retire this time, but Mr. Luo gave too many promises."

"Haha, what you're saying is so unreasonable, but it's the truth."

Special cars drove out from the headquarters of the City of Galaxy, and some bosses were directly surrounded by the army of reporters. Luo Sheng had no intention of concealing this matter, and it was impossible for more than a thousand people to conceal it. He wanted to make big news.

As the heads of some semiconductor manufacturers were interviewed by some media, the content of the temporary joint meeting was also exposed one after another, making headlines in major media.

All of a sudden, everyone was dumbfounded.

The big A market responded immediately, technology stocks took off directly during intraday trading, and the semiconductor industry led the way soaring to more than 8 points, driving the broader market index to strengthen all the way, recovering all the previous declines.

The content of the temporary joint meeting was also spread all over the world at the first time, and the foreign news agency quoted the news report overnight, and spread it to Europe and the United States.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the "infinite traceability" mechanism implemented by Laomei in this incident is that Xiangzhuang dances his sword to Peigong. It seems to have a direct impact on semiconductor manufacturers and intermediate link manufacturers, but in fact it hit the Côte d'Azur. And Luo Sheng's plan for the entire domestic semiconductor industry chain.

And Luo Sheng has responded now, and has also played his cards.

Still as tough as ever, just straight to the front.

More and more people have a strong premonition that the technology world will not be calm in the next few days, and a technology war has begun.

People realize that no matter the outcome of this technological war will lead to that situation, the existing structure of the integrated circuit industry will usher in a major change, which will affect the lives of thousands of people, and now they are witnessing history first-hand.

For those in the industry, they also realize that this is not only a big turmoil in the industry, but also a big opportunity while bringing new challenges.
