The next day after returning to Binhai City, Zhang Shuo returned to work.

It's been really busy lately.

Gu Mingzhang, who returned from Xiangjiang one day in advance, came to report early in the morning.

"Mr. Zhang, Daosui Semiconductor Magic City has completed its name change filing, and Zhulong Technology's A-round financing is also progressing smoothly. Investment agreements have been signed with China Microelectronics and Magic City Investment."

"So, starting next month, the group will no longer need to transfer R&D funds to Zhulong Technology?"

"Is such that."

Gu Mingzhang smiled and nodded, "However, Daosui Semiconductor Headquarters still needs some operating funds."

"That's what I was going to tell you."

Zhang Shuo took the topic and said, "In addition to mobile phone chip design, taking advantage of this opportunity to divest Zhulong Technology, Daosui Semiconductor is taking the opportunity to fully intervene in the semiconductor industry and expand and strengthen the group's semiconductor business."

In the past, we were involved indirectly through investment, but in the future, we can participate directly.

"You mean, continue to acquire semiconductor-related companies?" Gu Mingzhang said.

"Yes." Zhang Shuo nodded affirmatively, "Let's put it this way, there is no upper limit on the group's investment in the semiconductor industry."

Huaxia Microelectronics mainly focuses on key technologies in key areas such as photolithography machines. It cannot cover the entire semiconductor industry, and it cannot be accomplished with tens of billions of dollars.

It requires hundreds of billions or even trillions of capital investment.

Zhang Shuo still hopes that by relying on the continuous blood transfusion of the original Blu-ray Group, Daosui Semiconductor can become a semiconductor giant in a very short period of time.

And we must spare no expense in research and development to avoid repeating the mistakes of Blu-ray Group.

He's not just for fun.

"Understood."

Gu Mingzhang also felt confident and said with a smile: "After I come down, I will contact Mr. Lu and continue to take inventory, investigate the current situation of domestic semiconductor companies, and find suitable acquisition targets."

"No."

Zhang Shuo shook his head, took a piece of note paper, and wrote down the names of three companies, "These three companies are the main acquisition targets of Daosui Semiconductor in the next one or two years."

Thanks to the semiconductor industry report submitted by the Investment and Acquisition Department and self-study in the library, Zhang Shuo no longer knows anything about the semiconductor industry.

New investment targets were quickly locked in.

Gu Mingzhang was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, took the note, and read it subconsciously: "Yizhou Licheng Technology, Jiangxia Xinxin, Yueli Global Storage?"

"That's right."

Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded, "You must have heard of these three companies, right?"

"Know something."

As the senior vice president in charge of manufacturing at Germinal Group, and directly managing Daosui Semiconductor, it would be an understatement to say that Gu Mingzhang has never even heard of these companies.

Three companies, each with its own characteristics.

The smallest one is Yizhou Licheng Technology, whose main business is chip packaging and testing.

In 2015, when the group's expansion was at its most frantic, the original Spacetime Blu-ray Group invested US$600 million and became the company's largest shareholder, holding 25% of its equity.

The purpose of Blu-ray Group's investment is to help Licheng Technology expand its chip packaging capabilities in Yizhou Province, develop advanced production processes and recruit talents.

This makes Licheng Technology the main chip packaging and testing partner of Blu-ray Group.

It’s different from Blu-ray Group.

In this life, Zhang Shuo wants to fully acquire Licheng Technology, gradually transfer its factories, talents, and technology to the inland, and use one trick to improve the overall layout of the semiconductor industry.

In conjunction with this, it is necessary to persuade Tai Electromechanical to build a wafer foundry in Jiangxia.

Jiangxia Xinxin Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was established in 2006. It was initiated and established by official investment institutions such as Jingchu Province, Jiangxia, and Jiangxia Zhiguang, with an investment amount of up to tens of billions.

The intention is to create a semiconductor giant that focuses on the design, production and packaging of memory chips.

Because the technical difficulty and technical threshold of memory chips are lower than other high-end chips, it is indeed a very good breakthrough for the semiconductor industry.

It just hasn't been developing very smoothly.

Later, in 2015, Blu-ray Group intervened again, joining forces with Jingchu Province and other institutions to jointly invest US$24 billion to build the world-famous Changchun Storage.

Jiangxia Xinxin was incorporated into Changchang Changchun Chu, and jointly shouldered the important task of China's storage base.

Zhang Shuo obviously hopes that through the intervention of the Sprout Group, this process can be advanced and accelerated, and it will not cause the trouble of the original space-time capital chain being broken and the need for debt restructuring.

This is why.

Zhang Shuo moved the headquarters of Daosui Semiconductor to Jiangxia early because he took a fancy to Jiangxia's complete layout and talent cluster advantages in the electronic information industry.

Can form a very good complementary effect.

The last Nikkei Global Storage is a subsidiary of Japan Nikkei Group. It is mainly responsible for the group's hard drive business and ranks third in the world in terms of market share.

It is also the most powerful among the three.

In 2002, Nippon Storage acquired IBM's hard drive business for US$2 billion and continued to grow.

ironnically.

Around 2013, the original Spacetime Global Storage was acquired by Akane Data, the leader in the global storage business, for US$4.3 billion, thereby establishing Akane Data's dominance in the field of storage equipment.

Zhang Shuo obviously hoped that he could snatch food from Qian Shu's tiger's mouth.

If we can win the Yueli Storage and cooperate with the Changchun Storage in the future, it will be a great achievement.

Don't say anything else.

Just the price increase of graphics cards and hard disks in a few years will bring huge profits.

Just to achieve Zhang Shuo's goal, it is conservatively estimated that he will need to prepare nearly 40 billion in funds. Even if he can find a bank loan for part of it, Suya itself will have to prepare 10 to 20 billion in funds no matter what.

It can't be done in a short while.

"My opinion is that priority should be given to the acquisition of Licheng Technology and Japan Storage. Jiangxia Xinxin can postpone it a little, and it will not be too late to acquire Japan Storage."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Shuo tells his plan.

"If you want to acquire these two companies, in addition to raising funds, you will probably encounter interference from other off-site factors, and you may not be able to pass the local acquisition review." Gu Mingzhang expressed his concerns.

This world does not mean that you can buy everything if you have money, especially for high-tech companies.

Guarding against them is like guarding against wolves.

Warwick once encountered similar obstacles and wanted to acquire partners, but was rejected.

A few years later, he turned around and sold it to Huipu.

Later, in order to expand the Chinese market, Huipu introduced Blu-ray Group as a partner. The purpose was to have Blu-ray Group endorse the safety of its products.

Go around in a big circle.

In this business chess game, Warwick is probably the most injured.

"I have also considered this." How could Zhang Shuo not know this? He said with a smile: "I have contacted the Dream Fund. The Dream Fund will act together with the Sprout Group and participate in these two acquisitions."

--slightly--

[Overseas Support Fund]: US$200 million/month

[Valuation of overseas assets]: approximately US$3.1 billion

[Overseas assets]: stocks (approximately US$2.6 billion), bonds (US$500 million)

--slightly--

At the end of March, after the system was upgraded to level 10 and the overseas investment column was opened, under Zhang Shuo's guidance, except for lending 500 million to the Germinal Group, the rest of the funds in the Dream Fund's overseas account were basically invested in the U.S. stock market.

In just six months, more than 200 million U.S. dollars have been made.

Moreover, these funds can be withdrawn from the stock market at any time when needed, just waiting for Zhang Shuo to lock in specific overseas investment projects.

Now.

It was finally time to unleash this killer weapon for the first time.

"Then the chance of success will be much greater."

Gu Mingzhang's eyes also lit up. He did not know the true relationship between the Dream Fund and Zhang Shuo. He only knew that the Dream Fund was an overseas fund headquartered in Prussia.

With this status alone, the obstacles to the acquisition of Licheng Technology and Japan Storage will be much smaller.

"Then start due diligence as soon as possible." Zhang Shuo also acted resolutely, "First win the small target of Licheng Technology, and then attack the hard nut of Sunrise Storage."

Although there is not much money in the bank account of Sprout, Zhang Shuo's tone is quite serious.

It's not that he is arrogant.

However, it is normal for large overseas mergers and acquisitions such as Japan Storage to take a year and a half.

There is no need to say that the funds will be raised immediately.

On the contrary, for the investment in Licheng Technology, you can try to cut through the mess quickly and try to get this deal done before New Year's Day, which can be regarded as a test of the waters.

Let the Dream Fund officially surface in the global investment circle.
