Chapter 197: Long-awaited TSMC

It is also a last resort to use cell activating fluid as a buffering solvent for the drug and an activator of the carrier, because Chen Qiang has given too little time to the Human Medicine Branch, so he made such a decision. In order to conceal the true role of the cell activating fluid in the rehabilitation medicine, Chen Qiang and Mu Bing added a lot of masking substances to the rehabilitation medicine, but as long as a research institution strengthens the separation and research efforts, it is sooner or later to isolate the cell activating fluid.
So Chen Qiang has been staying at the Medical Branch of Xingkong Research Institute for a while, and Mu Bing is developing a substance that can replace cell activating fluid. Because the cell activation fluid can absolutely not increase its production, the production and concentration of cell activation fluid now accounts for 10% of Star City's electricity, and this number has soared to 20% directly after the production of rehabilitation medicines.
So Chen Qiang has been staying in the branch of human medicine research for a while. But today he did not go to the academy, but came to the meeting room of the Starry Sky Group. Because there is someone here who has been waiting, and has been waiting for a long time.
"Father Zhang, welcome and welcome." Chen Qiang entered the meeting room and saw a spirited old man talking to Lei Jun very happy, so he walked over and laughed.
"General Manager Chen is a busy man, and today he took the liberty to disturb Haihan." Zhang Zhongmou is now in his nineties, and when he saw Chen Qiang, he stood up and shook hands with Chen Qiang.
"Where and where, Father Zhang can come to my Xingkong Group. It is our honor and prosperous." Chen Qiang also modestly said that he is now able to cope with these freely, not as awkward and uncomfortable as he was at the beginning.
"General Manager Chen also knows the purpose of my visit today, I don't know what you think." Zhang Zhongmou looked more anxious.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I'm not ready yet." Chen Qiang patted Zhang Zhongmou and said.
"Okay, I'm too anxious." Zhang Zhongmou also found himself anxious. So I changed my mood quickly and laughed.
After a while, the Star Group's negotiating team was ready. This meeting room has also officially become the negotiating venue for Star Group and TSMC.
"General Manager Chen, I'm here for the purpose of presumably you also know, I do not know how you intend to sell chip equipment." Zhang Zhongmou said directly into the topic.
"Mr. Zhang, it's very simple. One-hand delivery and one payment. Each set of equipment is one billion US dollars. The output is about five million pieces. You need several sets." Chen Qiang also entered the state directly.
"Mr. Chen, you know that I can't get that much money from TSMC. As far as I know, Xingkong Group has provided some units in China with technical transformation solutions. I wonder if TSMC is eligible for the same solution. Zhang Zhongmou said with a frown.
"I can't do this. President Zhang also knows that the sales of this set of equipment is a one-time thing, and the minimum output of each set of equipment must reach one million pieces. As far as I know, your TSMC chip production last year was only a hundred. It looks like thousands of pieces. "Chen Qiang's face was always smiling.
"Mr. Chen, we don't need millions of pieces of equipment for TSMC. We just want to upgrade all TSMC's production lines to the point where it can produce only chips." Zhang Zhongmou's attitude was very low. .
"This is not easy to handle. If you want to transform it according to your statement, then we need to focus on miniaturizing some core equipment. This cost is not small." Chen Qiang is still light and light.
"General Manager Chen, as far as I know, the production lines sold by Star Group to the United States are each one billion US dollars, and TSMC is willing to pay two billion US dollars to ask Star Group to complete the equipment upgrade for us." Zhang Zhongmou directly reported a number.
"Too few. The scale of TSMC's production line is huge. It would not be enough to fully rebuild the money." Chen Qiang shook his head.
"General Manager Chen, we only need to transform the production line below 20 nanometers. Two billion is enough. If President Chen thinks it is still relatively small, then we can add up to 2.5 billion US dollars." Zhang Zhongmou directly increased the 500 million US dollar offer In fact, he also knows that this is the sole copy, because the production line in the United States has been received for a year, but they have not cracked a trace of technology so far.
"Three billion dollars, not bargaining, and this is also the cost of technological transformation. As for the purchase of equipment, you have to bear it." Chen Qiang said a price unexpected to Zhang Zhongmou. Before that, he had raised 100 One billion US dollars is for reaching this agreement with Chen Qiang.
According to the news from the United States, the chip production equipment of Xingkong Group is upgraded on the existing basis, which means that in the future, this production line only needs to change the basic equipment, so that for the entire The company's equipment elimination rate will be greatly reduced.
It should be known that each time TSMC advances its chips, it will need more than 50 billion US dollars to update the production line. If an agreement is reached with the Star Group this time, this money will be greatly reduced. After all, this is the era of smart chips. Although traditional chips still have a certain market, it is foreseeable that they will be replaced sooner or later.
"Okay ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Mr. Chen, I will go to your account after returning three billion dollars. As for the cost of the equipment, TSMC is fully responsible for it." At this time, he did not agree that it was a fool. .
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, the contract will be fine in a while." Chen Qiang also said with a smile. Chen Qiang also understands the happiness of Mr. Zhang. It is necessary to know that TSMC can be a listed company, so his capital flow is open. Therefore, he has long known about the fact that TSMC raised 10 billion U.S. dollars, and why Chen Qiang actually considered it. Although this is a unique business, if he asks too much, it will hinder the promotion of smart chips, which is not good news for virtual networks, so he gave up the principle of high prices after various considerations.
After the contract was checked by the lawyers of both sides, Chen Qiang and Chen Jianren, TSMC's boss, signed the contract together. Why isn't it Zhang Zhongmou, because the old man has long since retired and is now just a director of TSMC. Then why did Zhang Zhongmou come to talk about this? It is because Zhang Zhongmou does not have the full power of TSMC in law, but in reality Zhang Zhongmou's influence on TSMC cannot be matched by anyone.
The next day, both Star Group and TSMC announced the news. The news in China has not caused much sensation, but it has caused a lot of repercussions abroad. That is because TSMC's actions have given a lot of hope to many companies that have designed only chips. It should be known that there are only a few companies in China and the United States that have smart chip production lines in the entire world, and there is one thing for these companies that is not to do OEM. The only Ali factory that does foundry production is full of monthly production plans, and the company generally can't make it.
