Chapter 235 The order for 100 photolithography machines is shocking, Jiudingji is launched on Netflix!

Windmill country.

AMLS Headquarters.

As soon as Mayswell, who is responsible for the global sales business line, walked into the office and walked east, an employee rushed over excitedly and said excitedly: "Boss, there is a semiconductor company in Yazhou and they want to order 100 ArF light sources."

Engraving equipment.”

"What? Let me say it again, how many?"

Mayswell was obviously stunned and couldn't believe it.

The company can only produce 30 units in a quarter, but the wrong party actually asked for 100 units, which is enough to cover their production for ten months.

"100 units! That's a company called Shanhai Microelectronics. The parent company behind it is Future Technology, which is very powerful."

Addison explained.

"Do you have any request for delivery time? Which specific equipment model is it?"

Mayswell asked.

At the beginning of 2015, because the top three largest shareholders of Ames were all American companies, he needed to consider the impact of the board of directors.

"The wrong party requests that 40% of the ordered equipment be delivered before October, with the model designated as NXT 1950i.

The second batch of equipment is expected to be delivered in March next year."

Addison replied.

"We can follow up on whether the production is ready, but Future Technology is a Chinese company, and the order is too large, so it needs to report to the management for a second confirmation."

Mayswell pondered for a few seconds before giving his answer.

"Okay, but Boss, he needs to remind you that there is a Chinese businessman who seems to be their purchasing agent. While contacting them, he is also contacting Mapping Lithography and Renwande."

Addison shrugged and reminded him.

"He will give me a reply as soon as possible and let my colleagues in Yazhou District fix the problem first."

Mayswell frowned and said in a deep voice.

The price of an NXT 1950i lithography machine is about 45 million euros, and 100 units will cost about 4.5 billion euros, which is enough to double the company's sales next year!

Please know, in 2014, Liyi exported 122 lithography machines, with total revenue of only 5.8 billion euros!

Thinking that he could get high bonuses and stock dividends after the order was completed, he immediately reported the matter to the board of directors.

…

"With 100 NXT 1950i lithography machines, where has China's chip manufacturing process reached?"

After receiving the news, the directors of Ames immediately held a meeting to discuss it.

"It's only 28 nanometers! It is said that their latest research and development results are not negated. In fact, Twinscan NXT 1050 can meet their production needs."

One of the directors laughed loudly.

China's chip technology was lagging behind for more than ten years. Even if it now has a 28-nanometer mass production technology, it is still looked down upon by them.

"What do you think? That's a sky-high price order. It will be beneficial to the development of Chidong Qucuo Company, and you can also get huge benefits. Is that the issue being discussed now? Do you agree to that cooperation?"

A director from the beer country interrupted the sarcasm and asked with a sullen face.

"He disagrees that the production of 100 photolithography machines will greatly shake Sanxing's position in the Yazhou chip market."

Suddenly, a man with an elegant face shouted something wrong.

"Second!"

Another middle-aged man with Chinese appearance followed closely behind, protesting loudly.

Ames's shareholding structure is extremely fragmented. In addition to the investment institutions of the United States, Sanxing and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are also among the shareholders. They are certainly unwilling to continue to harvest China's mid-range chip market.

"Is his opinion sold to the wrong party?"

A director representing the interests of Black Rock Group raised his voice and drowned out all the opposing voices.

"What's my reason? Tell me."

The director of CR Capital asked expressionlessly if he was the representative of Ames' largest shareholder, and if he asked him to correct his mistake, the deal would not be done.

"Everyone should be very clear about the relationship between Shanhai Microelectronics and future technology. Horae has solved the design obstacles of the 10-nanometer process, which proves that China is already at the forefront of the semiconductor industry, and they do not have to continue to stand in the way.

The maximum process node supported by NXT 1950i is only 14 nanometers, and China's most advanced chip technology has just entered the 28 nanometer field. There is a five-year technology gap between 14 nanometers and 10 nanometers. They do not need to worry about losing the high-end chip market.

What's more, there is news that Ames is not the only intended seller of the wrong party. If other companies do not grab the order, their losses will be huge."

The director of Black Rock said with a smile.

In his mind, China cannot even produce a 40-nanometer lithography machine, so what threat is there?

Just ask Ames not to sell models below Twinscan NXT 1970Ci, so they can always sit back and relax, rely on advanced manufacturing equipment, and continuously reap huge profits from China.

"He didn't have any objection, so he just asked the wrong party to give him money, and it didn't matter if he sold it to them."

People from Puxin Capital agreed upon hearing this.

"CR Capital was very dissatisfied with last year's profit level. If he went east like that, he would probably have to go back to his hometown in the beautiful country, so he agreed to sell it."

When the director of CR Capital saw that the other two major shareholders nodded in agreement, he was no longer reserved and simply agreed to Donglai.

The directors of Sanxing and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. looked at each other and cursed in their hearts. If America's chip technology breaks through, it will be up to them whether they live or die.

If the two companies had a small proportion of equity and low voice, they would have had no choice but to agree in the past.

After deciding to accept the order, Ames began to fully produce the NXT 1950i lithography machine, and began to negotiate with Future Technology on issues such as delivery methods, balance payment ratio and time.

After all, a DUV lithography machine consists of 100,000 parts and weighs more than 100 tons. It takes a lot of effort to safely transport it to Shanghai.

If not transported by air, two Boeing 747 transport planes would have to be used to complete it. The cost of a single trip would be as high as 10 million Chinese dollars, which is an astonishing expense.

"Mr. Chen, why don't you go by sea? The transportation cost is only one-fifteenth of the cost. If you save money from Donglai, you can even buy three more photolithography machines."

He Tingbo suggested.

"Let Ames ship by air, time waits for no one, and the goods will be delivered every 10 units. There is no need to save that expense."

Chen Heyu shook his head and refused directly.

"No, boss."

He Tingbo hesitated for a few seconds and accepted Chen Heyu's plan to pay more and suffer less. She knew this truth.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. He's leaving first. Equipment purchase is the cornerstone of future development. I'll keep an eye on it for him and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Chen Heyu explained.

"No problem. He has set up a special team to follow up the entire process of order fulfillment and ensure that all types of equipment can arrive safely."

He Tingbo smiled and said.

"As for the idea of ​​a large-scale production base in Pudong, he has communicated with Secretary Zhou. The approval process for the land acquisition can be completed in about two weeks. A design institute will come up with a plan. Can it produce an annual output of 3 million wafers?

The processing factory must not be careless.”

Chen Heyu said.

"Okay, boss, he will synchronize when there is progress."

He Tingbo said with a slight smile.

When she joined Shanhai Microelectronics, her husband complained about her, why didn't she choose Huayao Hisi?

Ruming is no longer a BB at all!

Mass production of 28nm chips!

40 billion capital investment in equipment!

The appearance of striving to build the strongest chip company in China completely shocked the semiconductor industry and people outside the industry.

…

Chen Heyu drove back to Shanhai Film and Television headquarters, preparing to meet an old friend.

"Mr. Jiang, long time no see. "Monster Hunt" will be released next month. It's a hit at the box office!"

He stretched out his legs, held Jiang Zhiqiang in his arms, and exchanged warm greetings.

"It's incomparable to Shanhai Film and Television. He would be satisfied if it could have a box office of 1.5 billion."

Jiang Zhiqiang said with emotion.

In those years, the movies produced and distributed by Shanhai Film and Television were more powerful than the previous ones, bringing Chinese-language movies to the 3 billion threshold, which put a lot of pressure on those veteran filmmakers.

"Mr. Jiang, please be humble, please come inside."

Chen Heyu smiled, "Monster Hunt" has been soaring in this life, with a box office of 2.4 billion. I wonder if without Xiao Yang's "Detective Chinatown", that movie would have become the box office champion in 2015.

The two took the elevator to the viewing room on the third floor.

"The CEO of Shanhai Film and Television, Lin Shiwei, Mr. Jiang knows Yidong."

Chen Heyu took Lao Lin and introduced both parties. He asked Lin Shiwei to personally take charge of the future cooperation between Shanhai and Le'an.

"Mr. Lin, nice to meet you."

"Mr. Jiang, please take care of me!"

After greeting each other, the two of them walked into the broadcast room first, followed by Hu Ge, Liu Yifei and other film creators.

The first episode of the first season of "Jiuding Ji"!

Teng Qingshan, a short-haired young man, was half-naked in a small farmyard and was standing in a bad posture.

The subtitles are all in English and use words and sentences that foreigners can understand to assist understanding.

"Is Lao Hu Naxing a newbie?"

Chen Heyu secretly thought, at least it was enough to fool the audience.

After saying that, Teng Qingshan practiced the Beng Fist, either moving forward or backward, or turning sideways and kicking, all of which revealed the power and beauty of ancient Chinese martial arts.

Then the men in black appeared, fighting and killing each other, with fierce and fierce moves and superb camera skills, giving the audience the greatest sense of involvement.

The air vibrated, creating layers of clearly visible ripples!

"Is that also the credit of Mosaic's special effects?"

Jiang Zhiqiang was a little surprised.

"Yes, as Moss Ai feeds more and more video materials and special effects clips, it will evolve again. "Jiuding Ji" uses version 1.5, which has more shocking visual effects than "Monster Hunt"."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

Jiang Zhiqiang remained silent and planned to leave the special effects production for a movie to Future Technology.

Then, the screen changed, and Teng Qingshan and Sha Leg died together, and were reincarnated across the Kyushu Continent with the help of the Kyushu Cauldron, and in that time and space where the spiritual energy of the world was abundant, they started their journey to become a master again.

I watched five episodes in one go. It is well-produced and has real special effects, showing a world of Kyushu that is like a spiritual realm.

"Mr. Chen, although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been a huge success overseas, there is no guarantee that "Jiu Ding Ji" will receive the same treatment. The purchasing departments of Netflix and Hulu.com were mistakenly contacted by Le'an International, but he asked for 20

% of the issuing agent’s fee.”

Jiang Zhiqiang said.

"Okay, 20% is 20%."

Chen Heyu readily agreed.

…

Two weeks later.

Jiang Zhiqiang responded that between Netflix and Hulu.com, he had chosen Netflix before.

Without him!

Netflix has deep pockets and is willing to offer US$1.5 million per episode, and Hulu is willing to pay US$1.2 million.

The third season of "Ye Yi" has 36 episodes, each season has 12 episodes. Netflix purchased the broadcast rights of the first season to try out the effect.

Just because "Jiudingji" includes ancient costumes and martial arts, two elements that are very popular among overseas audiences, Jiang Zhiqiang reluctantly came to the east.

The copyright fee sold by Ye Yi was 18 million U.S. dollars, totaling 110 million Chinese dollars. After deducting the distribution expenses of Lean International, Shanhai Film and Television earned 88 million!

It doesn’t look like much, but a 12-episode TV series would only earn 60 million yuan in foreign markets at most.

Chen Heyu would naturally not sell his own cable video platform.

On June 23, Shanhai Film and Television announced that "Jiuding Ji" will be released on Netflix and Shanhai Video website for simultaneous global screening!

"Netflix spent $18 million to acquire the rights to the first season of "Jiudingji" in one fell swoop!"

"The popular IP "Jiuding Ji" turned out, Netflix spent 18 million US dollars to fight for the copyright, and Hulu was eliminated!"

Fans of books and dramas are all rushing to tell each other, and they are spontaneously promoting it on Weibo, BBS forums, post bars, and video websites.

The fact that Netflix bought the copyright at a high price is enough to prove the strength of "Jiudingji". Curious passers-by have logged on to Singularity Chinese website to learn about the story.

The thousand-degree search index even surpassed popular dramas such as "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", "The Romance" and "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang".

"Tomato, he came to Jiangning that week to help me celebrate the successful adaptation of the novel and let the Jiangnan banquet begin!"

A red-gold writer sends a message to tomatoes.

"My treat?"

Tomato is in a good mood recently, he joked.

Even if the copyright is sold to Shanhai Film and Television, according to the contract, he can still get 1 point of additional income. If Chen Heyu takes over Shanhai Literature and adjusts the copyright contract, he will be given exclusive benefits to top writers.

Frankly speaking, it's not much, but for a big production like "Jiuding Ji", the global film and television copyright revenue is at least 500 million. Who would be unhappy if an extra 5 million came out of thin air.

Moreover, after the film and television works are released from the industry, they will be able to support subscription income. Looking at the number one spot on the best-seller list, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Of course it's my treat."

The shameless red and gold man smiled obscenely.

Of course, apart from the original author of the novel, Hu Ge, Liu Yifei is also the biggest beneficiary. For the first time, the two Yazhou faces are gradually becoming known to overseas audiences.

The online effect exceeded Netflix's expectations, and actually led to an increase in the number of subscribers and profit margins. Seeing this, I immediately contacted Le'an and asked to purchase the copyright of Hu Ge's "Nirvana in Fire".

The package price is US$30 million, is it an unexpected surprise?

That costume drama, which was released two years ago, became popular again due to the explosion of overseas markets.
