I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 672 Before, others fed us; now we cook for ourselves! Sitting at the negotiating table, let's begin to establish the rules!
"The Dawn A220 EUV lithography machine? Can it support a 7-nanometer process node?"

In the dead of night in Yanjing, Han Jinheng held a test document, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Although StarSource Technology previously launched the Aurogon G1051 five-axis linkage CNC machine tool, which has already caused a huge stir in the scientific research field and pointed out a clear path for the development of domestic EUV lithography machines.

But he never expected that the other party would be so fast.

Looking at the complex expression on Han Jinheng's face, Li Qingsong immediately understood his boss's thoughts, and thus began to explain:

"It is indeed fast, but it is also expected. The most difficult technical point of EUV lithography machine is the excitation, collection and application of the optical system. The rest is mainly precision machining. The Zhulong G1051 just provides a key foundation for the production of these precision core components."

Han Jinheng sighed slightly, his tone tinged with emotion: "That's true, but in the world, only AMAS has ever been able to manufacture EUV lithography machines. Xingyuan Technology's leap is bigger than we imagined."

"Now we have the guns, all we need are the bullets."

Li Qingsong said with a smile.

In chip manufacturing, the lithography machine is like the gun used in a war, while the photoresist and developer are like the ammunition and rations. They are both indispensable, and without either one, mass production is impossible.

"With a gun, why worry about running out of bullets?"

Han Jinheng slowly stood up and burst into loud laughter.

Li Qingsong was taken aback upon hearing this, but then suddenly realized what was going on.

With the acquisition of the Dawn A220 EUV lithography machine, China was essentially sitting at the negotiating table with the International Semiconductor Industry Association.

In the past, China relied on others for its livelihood; now, it can also become an industry leader that participates in setting industry rules and dividing up the market "cake."

What does this kid like?

Han Jinheng turned his head and asked.

Although he had never met Chen Yansen, he liked him very much and wished he could give him a few more glamorous titles.

What does Chen Yansen like?
Li Qingsong frowned slightly, deep in thought.

money?
Given Chen Yansen's earning speed, Xingyuan, Shenlan, and Pinbei are like three money-printing machines that never stop. For him, money will only increase as he spends it.

name?
Senlian Capital has more than 86 employees, and Chen Yansen himself is a well-known figure in business circles both at home and abroad.

right?
Chen Yansen didn't really have much on this point.

"Give him a few more honorary titles?" Li Qingsong tentatively suggested ambiguously.

"When will the Yanjing Internet Conference be held?" Han Jinheng asked in return.

“August 26th,” Li Qingsong replied immediately.

After all, he was the one who delivered the opening speech at the conference, and his secretary had already sent him the detailed schedule, so he naturally remembered the dates clearly.

"I'd better ask him in person," Han Jinheng said with a smile.

He originally planned to meet with Chen Yansen in person when the World Internet Conference was held in Sanhe Ancient Town.

But now, he doesn't want to wait any longer!

at the same time.

The Eastern Region, Anguo Association, and Shanghai City Inspection Station joined forces to comprehensively upgrade the security measures for Xingyuan Technology.

It's 10:30 p.m.

Chen Yansen got into a silver and blue Hongqi L5, glanced at the brightly lit R&D center through the car window, then waved to Lao Huang to drive.

A gentle evening breeze was blowing, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky, radiating a cool, clear light.

October 2014, 8!
What seemed like an ordinary Saturday was a memorable day for a group of people in the research and academic community.

Chen Yansen leaned back in his seat and instructed Huang Boxiang, "I'm going back to Luzhou the day after tomorrow afternoon. Don't come to pick me up tomorrow morning."

"Yes, boss," Old Huang nodded in response.

Last week, he received a call from his niece, who told him that the company had transferred her to a management reserve training program.

In other words, as long as you are willing to work hard, even if you don't become a big shot in the future, you can definitely be guaranteed a comfortable life.

Therefore, Huang Boxiang's gratitude towards Chen Yansen reached its peak.

A short while later, the car stopped in front of Villa No. 6, Lanxiang Lake.

Chen Yansen got out of the car and walked through the lush green courtyard.

As soon as I reached the living room door, I saw Ye Qiuping wearing a black lace maid outfit, her cheeks flushed, and carrying a pair of slippers as she walked out of the house.

"Is someone hiding in the house? Why is your face so red?"

Chen Yansen stood still, quietly enjoying Master Ye's shoe-changing service.

From his vantage point high above, he could clearly see a mass of white snow on a mountain, its shape slightly altered by the pressure of his knees.

"I was just doing aerobics."

Ye Qiuping lowered her head, and on a sudden inspiration, she made up a reason.

I can't exactly tell Chen Yansen that I'm taking extra classes, can I?
Thinking of this, she unconsciously licked her tongue, feeling extremely stiff.

But the teacher in the video could make a twirl with her tongue; it was incredibly agile.

Chen Yansen changed into slippers, walked to the sofa and sat down, then stared intently at Ye Qiuping.

This is the first time I've seen her in this black and white maid outfit.

A pair of black stockings, adorned with heart patterns, stretched from her toes all the way down to the depths of her short skirt. Around her fair neck, a black lace choker hung, with a small bell dangling from the center.

A white bow hair clip pulled her hair back.

Her makeup was exquisite and charming, with a rosy face, peach-like cheeks, and fox-like eyes. Her eyes were watery and sparkling.

"Boss, do you like it?"

Ye Qiuping grabbed the hem of her skirt and twirled in front of President Chen, instantly bringing with her a milky fragrance.

"This dress is suitable for an eighteen-year-old girl."

Chen Yansen leaned back and commented without any politeness.

Do you think I'm too old?
Ye Qiuping's face suddenly froze, and she suppressed the urge to rush into the kitchen to grab a cleaver, her chest heaving violently.

She took several deep breaths before she finally managed to suppress the urge to kill Chen Yansen.

"Come here!" Chen Yansen patted his thigh and called softly.

Ye Qiuping smiled and walked over gracefully, then sat down in the seat designated by Boss Chen.

"Is the aerobics you're doing legitimate?" Chen Yansen felt a chill on his leg.

"Boss, do you want to learn? I'll teach you."

Master Ye blinked and put his arms around Mr. Chen's neck.

The wind chimes on the edge of the terrace jingled crisply in the night breeze. The wind chime tubes swayed with the wind, making a 'ding-ding-dang' sound every time they touched the wind chime pieces.

……

……

The following morning, Xiaomi officially announced the first-month sales figures for the Xiaomi 4.

When Lei Yijun introduced the frame material of the Xiaomi 4 at the launch event, he specifically used the term "austenitic 304", which later became a hot topic of ridicule and mockery among netizens.

However, the Xiaomi Mi 4 is ultimately a product with extremely high cost performance. It is equipped with the Tiangong B100 chip and the Aurora Future OS 2.3 system. With such configuration, its sales in the first month reached 101.7 million units!

Following this, Orange Technology announced that 100 million Little Genius children's smartwatches had been sold.

This demonstrates the market potential of children's smartwatches in 2014.

Half an hour later, news of Yangmatou's closure spread like wildfire.

This cross-border e-commerce platform, established for more than five years, plummeted from its peak to its lowest point in just two years due to the constant impact of Pinduoduo International, Tmall Global, and JD.com Global Shopping.

When reporters went to interview them, they found that the Yangmatou headquarters building was crowded with employees demanding their unpaid wages.

The CEO was cornered in his office by his employees!

The building's property manager was also present. As soon as he saw the reporter, he couldn't help but complain: "Yangmatou has been in arrears on rent, property management fees, and water and electricity fees for a long time."

Most practitioners quickly realized that the Matthew effect in the e-commerce industry is becoming increasingly pronounced, and market share is gradually flowing to Pinduoduo, Tmall, and JD.com.

For a single vertical e-commerce website, it is extremely difficult to break through in the fiercely competitive e-commerce industry without a sufficiently outstanding core advantage.

For a time, many platforms set their sights on the live-streaming e-commerce sector, hoping to get a share of the pie while this emerging market was still in its early stages.

the other side.

Chen Yansen stayed in Shanghai for another day before boarding his private plane and setting off back to Luzhou.

The Gulfstream G550 cruised smoothly above the clouds, with a clear, azure sky visible through the porthole.

Chen Yansen leaned back in his leather seat, holding an orange tablet computer in his hand, which displayed the latest data from the Optical Research and Development Center.

The stability testing of the Dawn A220 EUV lithography machine is 83% complete, with only two performance verification tests remaining under extreme conditions.

Once these two tests are passed, the Dawn A220 EUV lithography machine will soon enter the Beta prototype manufacturing stage.

It will have broader compatibility in terms of functional completeness, performance, application scenarios, and adaptability.

at the same time.

One of the EUV photoresist suppliers for Xiao Rizi received a call from Xingyuan Technology, proposing to purchase a batch of metal oxide photoresist.

This made them laugh!

In principle, the Wassenaar Arrangement does not explicitly restrict the sale of EUV photoresist.

Since China cannot even manufacture lithography machines with a process speed of 60 nanometers or less, banning the sale of EUV photoresist to it is completely meaningless.

As the saying goes, without users, there is no supply!

Why would this fab factory in China buy photoresist when there are no practical application scenarios?

Do not understand!

After hanging up the phone with Xingyuan Technology's purchasing department, the photoresist supplier for Xiao Rizi couldn't help but sneer at his subordinate: "Are the Chinese crazy? They don't even have EUV lithography machines, and they want to buy metal oxide photoresist? What use is this stuff other than for equipment used in processes below 14 nanometers?"

This is like someone who doesn't have a gun insisting on buying the world's most advanced bullets. Are they supposed to use a slingshot to fire them?
What he didn't know was that Xingyuan Technology's purchasing department contacted more than a dozen factories in one go, with the aim of informing the entire semiconductor industry.

China now has EUV lithography machines!

This phone call was three parts notification, three parts teasing, three parts declaration of war, and one part threat!
