Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 590 [Science and Technology War Has Started]

In the past six years, the astronomical figures of Luo Sheng's investment in the domestic semiconductor industry chain are not enough to describe the degree of exaggeration. The development of lithography equipment alone has invested more than 100 billion US dollars.

The asset scale of Shengfeng Capital exceeds RMB 3 trillion, and most of its 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 toward an autonomous and controllable path. Of course, behind this is the support of all parties, especially the support of the state.

At the end, a president of a semiconductor equipment manufacturer who participated in the meeting tapped on his microphone and said: "Mr. Luo, the industry prospects are gratifying, but the current predicament is the top priority. You can resist the attack of the United States. This is no problem. I’m convinced. But our little brothers don’t have such a strong ability to fight offenses, especially if our company is extremely dependent on North American equipment vendors, it cut off revenue sources, equipment upgrades, and lost customers. The company can only last about three months. A capital chain crisis is bound to break out."

The CEOs who had difficulty in this aspect nodded their heads. This is the case for most companies. It is already very good to be able to maintain capital operation for more than three months.

When someone opened the chatterbox, they all whispered to each other to discuss.

At this time, someone else said: "Not long after the stock market crash, financing in the capital market is struggling, and it is difficult to find a bank to obtain a loan."

One person complained and a thousand responded.

Luo Sheng put his hands on the table, fingers crossed, listening to the friends and business partners knocking down the bitter water, he couldn't help raising his mouth with a smile.

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

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

What do you mean?

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

No one will doubt that Luo Sheng has this ability to solve the difficulties of one or two supply chains. The funds required to solve the difficulties of hundreds of supply chain partners at the same time are astronomical.

At the same time, Luo Sheng smiled and paused for a while and added: "The Blue Coast will prepare a special fund pool of 175 billion US dollars, with an average annual preparation of 58 billion US dollars, to provide funds for semiconductor-related manufacturers affected by the "unlimited traceability" mechanism. Lending services means that all of you in this room will not worry about the company’s failure to survive, starvation and bankruptcy in the next three years."

Luo Sheng's voice echoed in the ears of every participant. They only felt their heads buzzing when they heard this. Everyone was petrified, and they were speechless.

175 billion U.S. dollars, about 1 trillion yuan converted into RMB at the current exchange rate.

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

This news should not be too shocking for them.

Really use your own strength to continue a money-burning industry?There has never been such a precedent in history. After everyone reacted, they doubted whether Luo Sheng's words were joking with them.

The head of Huahong Semiconductor looked at Luo Sheng and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Luo, don't mind if you are offensive. According to reports from third-party organizations, your company's cash reserves should currently be hovering in the US$100 billion range? How can your company provide $175 billion in borrowing funds for the entire industry?"

Others nodded their heads when they heard it, and they still kept talking privately.

Everyone is a business. This is a huge amount of capital. Even with the addition of Bluestar Technology and Shengfeng Capital, it is impossible to bring such a large liquidity. Besides, the people present also understand Luo Sheng's own business operations. The expenditure is also an astronomical figure.

Now that something like this happens, Luo Sheng's corporate income will definitely be affected again.

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

Facing the doubts of a group of friends and business partners, Luo Sheng calmly said: “Don’t worry about the source of funds. Since I have explained the words in front of you, I have money to lend to you. This is not a verbal promise. It can be written into the terms of the agreement. In, of course, interest is still charged."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at the end of the last sentence, but in fact they heard the rhythm of fainting in their hearts. What kind of fairy meeting was this attending...

Where does he get so much money?

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

When the other people heard this, they turned their eyes back and forth, and suddenly felt that it was very likely that the country was supporting indirectly through Luo Sheng's hands. Besides that, they really couldn't understand Luo Sheng's source of so much money.

Think about it only with the support of the state. After all, one-third of Shengfeng Capital’s shares 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, but it has long passed Indirect means are supporting.

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

Not the national team?

Can't it come out of thin air?

It's incredible.

Luo Sheng smiled calmly: "I also want to ask the country to ask for money, but the country does not have so much money allocated to me, so I can't find the country if I encounter difficulties. Fortunately, I can solve this problem and I can do it from other places. To the money."

Everyone: "..."

The head of Huahong Semiconductor immediately asked: "What is the lending rate?"

Luo Sheng sells the mystery of Guan Zishen, so I don't need to ask too much. As a leading figure in the global business and science and technology circles, the credibility of the world's richest man is guaranteed.

Then in business talks, Luo Sheng expressed his willingness to provide 175 billion US dollars of special funds to "cover" everyone for three years of financial protection, but this money is not free, 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 one's own name is on the other side's black books.

If you don't go with Luo Sheng, then today's meeting will have nothing to do with what happens, and will be marginalized at the same time.

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

You should know that the annual import quota for the semiconductor industry in Greater China exceeds US$300 billion. What a big cake does not need to be said too much. If domestic semiconductors can break a blood path, it means that they can eat even if they guard the Greater China market. To support, and it is fame and fortune.

Luo Sheng said in an orderly manner: “According to the current inter-company lending market, the inter-company lending rate is generally between 10% and 24%. The lending rate is determined to be 11.52%. The scale of corporate lending depends on the business. It depends on the scale evaluation, but as long as the enterprises affected by the'unlimited traceability' mechanism follow me firmly, they will borrow 750 million yuan from me every year for the next three years. This is the guaranteed amount."

The lending rate is generally determined based on the supply and demand of funds in the lending market. With the diversified development of the market economy, inter-company lending has also occurred. The lending behavior is mainly negotiated by both parties as equal subjects. The lending rate is also determined by the transaction. Both parties decide by themselves.

Hearing that there is a guarantee, the CEOs present are like taking a reassurance pill. If the assessment is determined, then the old beauty will be turned over. If you don't lend you money, you will be dead.

Having a minimum guarantee is equal to some worries. When Luo Sheng reported an annual guarantee of 750 million yuan in borrowing funds, some people who were prepared to follow Luo Sheng all the way but were a little worried were 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 make the funds loose and abundant, but it is no problem to survive and maintain the business.

The contact meeting lasted for about an hour and a half before it ended, and the major semiconductor manufacturers participating in the meeting also left.

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

Vividly speaking, this time Luo Sheng is equivalent to distributing "hero posts" as the leader of the martial arts in the domestic integrated circuit industry, and heroes from all walks of life have responded to the call to participate in this hero meeting.

At this moment, when many friends and business partners left in twos and threes, they were walking and talking first.

"This trip is really worthwhile."

"Mr Luo's handwriting really refreshed my cognition time and time again, subverting common sense."

"I still want to break my head and still don't understand where his money comes from?"

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

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

"Haha, what you said is really not like a human word, but it is true."

One after another special cars drove out of the Galaxy City headquarters, and some bosses were directly surrounded by an army of reporters. Luo Sheng had no intention of concealing this matter, and it was impossible for more than a thousand people to hide it.

As the heads of some semiconductor manufacturers accepted some media interviews, the content of the ad hoc joint meeting was gradually exposed, and it appeared on the headlines of major media.

For a moment, all parties were shocked.

The big A market reacted immediately. Technology stocks took off directly during intraday trading. The semiconductor industry led the rise and soared to more than 8 points, driving the overall market index to strengthen all the way, bringing back all the previous losses.

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

Everyone with a discerning eye can see that the "infinite traceability" mechanism of the old American in this incident is Xiangzhuang Wujian's intention to Peigong. It seems to have a direct impact on semiconductor and intermediate manufacturers, but in fact it hit the blue coast. He Luo Sheng's plan for the entire domestic semiconductor industry chain.

And Luo Sheng responded now and played.

Still as tough as always, just straight ahead.

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

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

For those in the industry, they are also aware that this is not only a major turmoil in the industry, which brings new challenges, but also a big opportunity.
