After hearing NPX's reply, Lu Chen almost got angry and laughed.

Unexpectedly, it was time for this, and the other party was still trying to make a decision about his company shares.

Is it better to say they are greedy or stupid?

He shook his head speechlessly.

Lu Chen no longer cared about NPX company and instead said to Xiao Shouyi: "Don't TSMC sign a strategic cooperation with us? Promise them!"

"But Mr. Lu, aren't you going to invest in NPX?"

Xiao Shouyi was a little puzzled. In addition to being the first generation of IC chips, TSMC is also one of the most powerful competitors in car chips. Will signing strategic cooperation with the other party give yourself a stumbling block?

"I mean, let the wind out first!"

Lu Chen felt that Xiao Shouyi was a little too pedantic and did not have the cleverness of Qin Ruolan at all.

Hearing this, Xiao Shouyi reacted even if he was stupid.

It’s not that I really signed a strategic contract with TSMC, but that I used TSMC to scare them.

It also scares other chip manufacturers who are undecided.

TSMC is the largest giant in the chip manufacturing industry, with a market value of more than US$500 billion, and is one of the top ten listed companies in the world.

Let’s sign strategic cooperation with Chensheng Technology, a manufacturer that is about to monopolize semiconductor silicon. Will other chip manufacturers still survive?

As long as Loongson Semiconductor releases this news, Lu Chen can guarantee that within one day, Loongson Semiconductor's threshold will be broken by global chip manufacturers, including the current automotive chip leader NPX.

.........

Netherlands.

NPX Headquarters.

Sure enough, after Loongson Semiconductor announced that it would consider signing a strategic cooperation with TSMC, it almost scared all NPX shareholders.

What's the meaning?

Don't take us to play?

If Loongson Semiconductor really becomes TSMC's only supplier, then these chip manufacturers can only use second-rate large silicon wafers.

what does that mean?

In the chip manufacturing industry, they will all be eliminated by the market.

The future semiconductor industry structure has even become clearer at once. The leader in large silicon wafer production manufacturers - Loongson Semiconductor, chip design leader Qualcomm, Intel, etc., and chip manufacturing leader - TSMC.

And what's going on with their NPX?

This is not impossible.

As the world's largest chip manufacturer, TSMC already has the most advanced chip manufacturing technology. Now, with large silicon wafers three orders ahead of others, it will not be able to reach the sky?

In the future, it will enter the chip design industry again, and maybe it will become a super giant across the entire semiconductor industry chain!

Just thinking about it, NPX shareholders feel their hearts tremble.

Of course, they are not fools either. They know that Chensheng Technology is doing this, and it is more likely to be scaring them.

But what if?

What if the head of Chensheng Technology is so angry that he just does this without hesitation?

Mom!

Thinking of this, they were not too greedy for Chensheng Technology Co., Ltd.

Let’s keep NPX’s market value first.

"Tell Chensheng Technology that we agree to the other party's request for investment!"

This time, all the shareholders present were silent and no one stood up to oppose it.

I can't afford to play, I won't play anymore!

Originally, everyone was thinking about whether they could take advantage of it, but Lu Chen turned over the table directly.

Forget it, it’s better to be more at ease for companies like Chensheng Technology.

Don’t say it, when you think about it, the shareholders here instantly felt much more at ease.

The one who is about to monopolize the large silicon wafer material market is its own major shareholder, its largest customer, and its own major shareholder.

In addition, Chensheng Technology's veto power over NPX.

Thinking about it this way, Chensheng Technology's influence on NPX seems to have become a bit scary.

The upstream and downstream are all shadows of the other party, plus the veto power of the company.

In other words, Chensheng Technology is even more able to determine the life and death of the company than NPX's largest shareholders.

Thinking of this, everyone's mood suddenly became a little heavy.

Wall Street consortiums accounted for 34.7% of NPX, but this is the shareholding ratio of several consortiums combined.

In a single calculation, only Morgan Consortium can exceed the proportion of Chensheng Technology's upcoming shares.

"Since everyone agrees that Chensheng Technology has invested in NPX, the issue of the sale of shares will be reduced year-on-year according to the respective shareholding ratio. What do you think?"

"I have no objection." The representative of the Morgan consortium raised his hand.

"I have no objection!" The representative of the Nordic consortium raised his hand.

"No objection." The DuPont consortium representative raised his hand.

“…”

Soon, the decision to acquire shares in NPX by Chensheng Technology was unanimously approved at the board of directors.

Obviously, these shareholder representatives were angry with the big guys behind them.

Their decision is also the decision of these consortiums behind it.

At this point, Chensheng Technology has truly gained a foothold in the semiconductor industry with the help of the dominant power of the large silicon wafer industry.

In the future, no chip manufacturing company can make the problem of chips, unless the chips they create are not semiconductor silicon.

......

"You said NPX agreed to you to invest in their company and gave you a veto?"

When Qin Ruolan heard the news, she almost couldn't catch her phone.

That is NPX, the world's largest automotive chip manufacturer.

He actually gave up his position as a core shareholder?

As we all know, shareholders who have a veto power and shareholders who do not have a veto power are basically two concepts.

The reason why angel investment sucks blood and marrow is that while angel investment, it usually holds the veto power of the company while investing in shares, and the founder is kicked out, is often related to this veto power.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen actually got the veto power of NPX.

Coupled with Chensheng Technology's layout in the upstream and downstream of NPX, it is not an exaggeration to say that NPX has almost become a puppet of Chensheng Technology.

It can be foreseeable that Chensheng Technology will become the most influential shareholder of NPX.

"right!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "According to NPX's current market value, we have to pay US$3.56 billion for this."

"3.56 billion US dollars," Qin Ruolan muttered, "What part of the funds are you going to use?"

"Of course it's Chensheng Technology's funds."

Lu Chen said decisively, "Don't move any money from the family trust fund for the time being, and you must hide them."

"Don't worry!"

Qin Ruolan frowned slightly. For some reason, she felt that Lu Chen valued the funds in the family trust fund more than Chensheng Technology.

"Okay, how long will it take for your side to come back?"

After talking about the main business, Lu Chen cared about Qin Ruolan's itinerary.

"I'll probably go back early next month."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at home."

Hearing this, Qin Ruolan felt a little warm. She said "um" softly, then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone.

Lu Chen felt proud.

After working for several months, I finally moved the clouds above Chensheng Technology's head away.
Chapter completed!
