"Mr. Lu, since Professor Qian's paper was released, international chip manufacturers have been asking us about new large silicon wafers, especially about 18-inch silicon wafers."

Xiao Shouyi said a little restrainedly.

"Oh? Which companies are they?"

"Intel, TSMC, Samsung, Grofontein, and domestic SMIC. Oh, by the way, the leading automotive chip manufacturing leader NPX has also come to ask about our new large silicon wafers. Mr. Lu, our large silicon wafers are now a hit!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Shouyi's excited face turned red.

When Lu Chen heard the name he wanted to hear, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Finally can't sit still?

npx is indeed the leader among automotive chip manufacturers, but in recent years, with the popularity of new energy vehicles, the concept of smart cars has become increasingly popular.

What followed was the market's wide demand for on-board chips.

This has led to the market for on-board chips rising year by year, from the original niche market to gradually fall into the eyes of some large IIC chip manufacturers.

TSMC is a typical example.

According to TSMC's strategic plan, their next focus will be on the field of in-vehicle chips.

To be honest, it is impossible for npx to be not nervous.

After all, TSMC is the world's largest chip foundry and has rich experience in IC chip manufacturing. It is much easier for it to enter the field of on-board chips than other companies.

In addition, the other party has strong capital strength and is not inferior to npx with Philips as its backing, and it is even stronger.

If these companies are allowed to obtain Loongson Semiconductor's large silicon wafers in advance, they will inevitably gain an advantage in the field of on-board chips. At that time, npx will not be able to cry.

The mentality of other companies is basically the same as that of npx, and no one wants to lag behind.

In the past, their large silicon wafer suppliers were Xinyue Daily Chemical, lg, and global wafers, but now, they only have one goal, that is Loongson Semiconductor.

Because Loongson Semiconductor's large silicon wafers are the most advanced, and it is said that the cost is lower than that of other large silicon wafer manufacturers.

As long as you have a brain, you will know how to choose.

"Did npx just ask about the big silicon wafer?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shouyi was slightly stunned.

He has been working at Loongson Semiconductor, and he was not aware of the fact that Chensheng Technology was cut off from chip supply by NPX before.

However, after hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiao Shouyi instantly reacted and said, "The other party did say something, and he will resume commercial cooperation with Chensheng Technology as soon as possible."

"snort!"

Lu Chen snorted coldly, but he was not angry and directly cut off the supply of npx.

After all, in terms of the field of in-car chip manufacturing, npx is indeed the best at present.

But it is impossible for Lu Chen to let it go completely.

"It's not impossible to want our large silicon wafers. I want to invest in npx. And I want their company's veto power. You can tell the other party directly what I said!"

"this......"

Xiao Shouyi was stunned. He didn't expect that Mr. Lu had such a big appetite and felt a sense of being in power.

Moreover, as the leader in automotive chips, npx has always been a low market value, almost hovering between 40 billion and 50 billion US dollars. If Mr. Lu wants to invest in the other party, can he spend so much money?

Of course, Loongson Semiconductor has just joined Chensheng Technology, and Xiao Shouyi doesn't know much about Chensheng Technology's strength for the time being.

Let’s not talk about the more than 40 billion US dollars in the Luchen family trust, even with Chensheng Technology’s original size, it would be a problem to invest in npx.

The only uncertainty is whether the North American authorities will obstruct.

However, npx is a Dutch company after all, and Lu Chen only invested in shares, not acquisitions, and the obstruction was relatively less.

"yes!"

Xiao Shouyi did not dare to defend himself and quickly lowered his head to the point.

......

Netherlands.

NXP Semiconductor Headquarters.

Board meeting.

After hearing Lu Chen's reply, everyone was at a loss.

They didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to invest in npx.

In any case, npx is also an internationally renowned semiconductor company. Although Chensheng Technology is famous in the new energy vehicle industry, it is just an unknown person in the semiconductor industry.

I didn't expect the other party to be so ambitious.

"What do you think?"

A middle-aged man at the top glanced at everyone and spoke.

"Chairman, of course it's okay for them to invest in our company, but they can't give it a veto!"

The person who spoke is the shareholder representative of npx's second largest shareholder, and comes from the Morgan Consortium.

"But Chensheng Technology invested in us for our veto. He hoped that we could be his chip supplier honestly! I don't think this is bad. Last time we cut off chip supply to Chensheng Technology, our losses were also very heavy!"

This is the shareholder representative of the Nordic consortium and the third largest shareholder of npx.

North America has harmed the interests of npx for its own interests, which has already made the Nordic consortium very dissatisfied.

Unfortunately, Wall Street's power in npx was too strong, so he had to bow his head at that time.

But now Chensheng Technology has made a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of large silicon wafers, which has caused the situation to reverse suddenly. The representative of the Nordic consortium is secretly happy.

He knew that the North American Ministry of Commerce's sanctions against Chensheng Technology were considered invalid.

Because npx requires large silicon wafers from Chensheng Technology.

Even if Wall Street has a great influence on NPX, it will not be greater than all shareholders.

Besides, Wall Street cannot ignore its own interests for a command from the Ministry of Commerce. After all, npx shares belong to them, not to the North American Ministry of Commerce.

npx fell, and they were also the ones who lost it.

Wall Street is not very opposed to Chensheng Technology's investment in npx, but they are not willing to give it to the veto.

This means that it will become an impossible thing for them to use npx to stumbling on Chensheng Technology in the future.

Now, there are only four major shareholders with a veto from the entire npx, and their shareholding ratios are all above 10%.

If Chensheng Technology wants to get a veto, it must at least become the fifth largest shareholder of npx, with a shareholding ratio of more than 8%.

With the current market value of US$44.5 billion in npx, Chensheng Technology has to spend at least US$3.56 billion.

The question is, can the other party give out the money?

As far as they know, Chensheng Technology has not raised any capital from the outside world at present, and since its establishment last year, it has been increasing its investment in heavy assets.

Even if their profits are high, their current capital chain will inevitably collapse very tightly.

Thinking of this, the shareholder representative from the Morgan Consortium said: "Perhaps we can try to exchange shares with the other party."

"You mean..."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Chensheng Technology's potential is too great.

Battery management systems, wireless charging alliances, and large silicon wafers that now monopolize the market.
