Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 600 Lithography Machine Shipped! (Second Update!)
"Mr. Dmitry, this is the set of equipment we're sending to those Japanese. Take a look!"

In the ASML factory, Eric acted as a guide, leading a group of CIA agents, including Dmitri, dressed in dust suits, to stop in front of the equipment that had been modified by working overtime.

Looking at the complex array of equipment in front of him, Dmitry couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose.

As CIA agents, their specialty is planting bombs and listening devices in people's cars, cell phones, clothes, and backpacks.

Those items are all relatively small, which really showcases their craftsmanship.

But the equipment in front of us is too big; the whole set will take up most of the workshop.

Such a large device, and they didn't know where to put the listening device for a while.

Because if you speak softly on the left side of the device, you can't hear it on the right side.

If Lin Yi wanted to place the positioning device, it was such a large object that he couldn't possibly put it in a very secretive place. Putting it in a very secretive place wouldn't be good for his future chip production.

Install data recording equipment to record what is produced...

The chip production volume is in the millions every year, and the corresponding data is enormous. They obtained this data...

It's useless.

Once the equipment is brought to China, the functions of the chips produced depend entirely on their own design. They can't possibly analyze the function of each of those hundreds of millions of transistors once they get their hands on the chips.

Suddenly, Dmitri realized that his initial plan had actually failed.

Their previous methods were completely ineffective when applied to such a large piece of equipment.

The only effective means is destruction.

The main components of the equipment are destroyed, keeping the equipment in a state of constant repair and non-repair.

However, doing so would result in the biggest loss for himself, because he needed Xiaomi Heavy Industry to provide him with a large number of cheap equipment, which he would then smuggle to America and Latin America to make high profits.

This tmd!

After hesitating for a long time, he turned to look at the CIA agent beside him:

"According to the previous plan, prepare five times more eavesdropping devices. Go and prepare them now. I want to see these devices before 2 p.m.

After giving instructions to his subordinates, he turned back to look at Eric:

“Mr. Eric, we need your people to help us evenly distribute these numerous eavesdropping devices throughout the various corners of the device.”

"We absolutely cannot let those damned Japanese find out, understand?"

Eric raised his hand and made an OK gesture: "Mr. Dmitry, rest assured, ASML is unique in its design of lithography machines. We will install your eavesdropping device and make some minor adjustments to the design."

"If we adjust the warranty diagram, even if they discover these things later, they will only think that they are some unimportant parts that we installed, mainly to mislead people."

"You can listen to their data with complete peace of mind!"

"Good luck! Get it done quickly, and ship it out as soon as you're done!" Dmitry raised his hand, patted the sensible Dutchman in front of him, turned around, and left with the CIA agents.

Less than two hours later, CIA agents arrived in Asmail in a pickup truck, carrying dozens of commonly used eavesdropping devices.

Upon receiving the message, Eric quickly brought these people into the workshop and had the engineers there help them install eavesdropping devices.

The engineers were well-prepared, so the installation progressed very quickly.

They installed all the listening devices before dawn, and CIA agents tested them to ensure they were usable and wouldn't interfere with production before reporting the information to Eric.

Eric didn't sleep all night. Upon receiving the message, he immediately sent the information that the equipment had been installed and tested to Hidehiro Yoshitsugu.

They asked the other party to come to the company for an inspection, and then prepared to load the goods onto a truck, send them to the airport, and have them transported back by plane.

After the negotiations were completed, Yoshihiro Yoshitaka had been waiting for Eric's message. Upon receiving the message, he quickly tidied himself up and, with two other people, headed to Asmail.

Under Eric's guidance, he saw the lithography machine he had seen a few days earlier.

Standing in front of the enormous equipment, Eric pointed at it and whispered:

"We have made adjustments and optimizations to the core components. Once the equipment is delivered to you, our engineers will set sail immediately."

"We'll come to your turf, help you assemble it, and help you adjust it."

"As for the need to change the production process in the subsequent production process, our engineers will teach you how to do it."

"Take a look now."

As Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu began examining the equipment, Eric whispered to himself, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we watch or not, because none of us are professionals; we can only watch the show."

"We can only get the remaining money after we've installed it properly and started production."

"So you don't need to worry about these things!"

Eric was right. After studying it for a while, Hidehiro Yoshitsugu found that he couldn't understand the use of these things either.

I took a few photos and then said to Eric:
"Ready to roll out!"

"My flight has been arranged!"

“Okay!” Eric raised his hand and made an OK gesture, then called over Asmail’s engineers and had them begin preparations for the transport.

It took two full days and 48 hours to pack up this set of equipment.

Loaded onto trucks, transported to Rotterdam, and then loaded onto airplanes at Rotterdam's international airport.

After the installation was completed, Ji Gangxiu sent a message to Ji Shuangshuang, and then he took his passport and boarded the leased passenger and cargo aircraft.

The plane's destination was Shanghai.

The plane transited in Istanbul, then landed in Mumbai, and finally flew to Shanghai.

After completing the formalities at the immigration office, Yoshihiro Yoshitaka had just stepped out when a voice called out to him.

Turning around and looking in the direction from which the sound came, Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu frowned slightly and looked at the person who made the sound with a puzzled expression.

He had seen this person before.

He had met Xiaomi Heavy Industry when he came to China to discuss cooperation.

At the time, the other party was the manager of the security department of Xiaomi Heavy Industry.

His name seems to be Han Shunfa!
Han Shunfa was dressed in a black uniform, and behind him were four other people dressed similarly.

The five of them slowly approached Yoshitsugu Hidehiro.

Han Shunfa smiled at the Japanese man in front of him, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Yoshitsugu Hidehiro:
"This is a letter that Mr. Adolf Roosevelt asked me to give to you."

letter?

What's the point of handing it over to yourself?

Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu was very puzzled. He had never corresponded directly with this Mr. Adolf Roosevelt, and even if he had received letters, he would not be able to recognize his handwriting.

Why bother?
Although he didn't understand, he still reached out and took the letter. When he opened it, it wasn't a written letter, but an A4 sheet of paper with something printed on it.

The content on the A4 paper was a message he had sent to his boss not long ago.

He took out his phone, checked the time on the paper, confirmed that it was a message he had sent, nodded, and handed the letter back to the person in front of him.
"I understand!" "I'll take you to retrieve the equipment!"

"Okay!" Han Shunfa nodded with a smile and slowly followed behind Ji Gangxiu.

Customs clearance for this type of high-value, large equipment is usually a very troublesome task. Ji Gangxiuhong did not plan to take the equipment out today. He just planned to take the person to the customs, fill in the information, and then have Han Shunfa's people stay here.

They will pick up the equipment as soon as it is available.

However, to his surprise, Han Shunfa arrived at customs and was released after customs made several phone calls!
Customs has released it!
At that moment, Hidehiro Yoshigo felt that the world was somewhat magical.

But then he suddenly felt as if he understood how the world works.

The trucks were coordinated to load the equipment, and then the long convoy set off towards Nanjing.

Because they were transporting precision equipment, the driver didn't go very fast. It took them a full four hours to get from Shanghai to Nanjing.

According to Jinling's initial plan, Xiaomi Heavy Industry would spend more than a year purchasing equipment, during which time they would invest and gradually build the factory.

However, Xiaomi Heavy Industry is moving too fast. According to Lin Yi, he will be able to get the equipment in three months at most.

Therefore, Jinling took the initiative and acquired the factory buildings of an electronics factory, and carried out a dust-free transformation according to Lin Yi's requirements.

The renovation was barely completed in the last few days.

Guided by Han Shunfa, the truck slowly drove into the factory gate.

Inside the gate, Jiang Daqiao and Lin Yi stood side by side, watching the truck slowly drive in. He took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice:

"So fast? Then why do they usually take a year and a half?"

Lin Yi raised his hand and snapped his fingers triumphantly: "A year or two is because they have no connections, and it has to be added on top of that. They're not very willing to spend money."

"This equipment costs around $3500 million on the market. I paid an extra $1000 million. Because of this $1000 million, the CEO of the other company won't make things difficult for me. He'll just be thinking about delivering the goods as soon as possible."

“In addition, I spent $2000 million to cultivate some extra connections.”

"Now that the lithography machine is in place, we can start production once they are installed."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the large truck in front of him.

The engineers from ASML haven't arrived yet, so we can only wait and see.

Engineers hired by Xiaomi Heavy Industry, along with their security personnel, are coordinating the unloading of goods by crane.

The thought that these devices in front of him could bring hundreds of billions of yuan in GDP to Jinling City every year in the future made Jiang Daqiao extremely happy.

After his initial excitement, he turned back to Lin Yi and said, "If I remember correctly, a lithography machine is only used to produce chips, and chip production is just one step in the process. There is also design before that and packaging after that."

"This...this might work, right?"

Hearing this worried question, Lin Yi pressed his hands to his temples and gently rubbed them:

"I'll handle the design issues. As for the packaging, it's a bit troublesome, but not much."

"I can handle that too. At worst, we can produce some low-end chips and play around with them however we want."

"Besides, we won't be able to produce chips that quickly, after all, everyone here is a greenhorn."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Jiang Daqiao also let out a wry smile.

Since signing the agreement with Xiaomi Heavy Industry to introduce the chip manufacturing industry, Jiang Daqiao has visited all the schools, big and small, in the city, and even traveled to other places to visit research teams engaged in chip research and development.

Although the people and regions are different, the replies are all similar.

There was no manpower, no money, and no equipment.

We have all three, but we lack experience.

He sighed, looked at the equipment, and said, "It's alright, I believe in you!"

"Thank you!"

In the workshop not far away, the lithography machine had been unloaded. After unloading, Ji Gangxiuhong opened his suitcase, took out the documents inside, and handed them to Han Shunfa:

"This is the corresponding list, which corresponds to the list that comes with the device."

"I also took some photos. Take a look and check them."

"My work is finished, I need to go back to Japan!"

"goodbye!"

Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu waved his hand, casually picked up his briefcase, and turned to leave.

He had just reached the door when his phone rang.

When the call connected, it was still that hoarse female voice.

The sound brought him good news:

“You did a good job this time. I just transferred $20 to your account as a bonus.”

"I'll give you another two weeks off, have some fun!"

After delivering the message, the hoarse female voice hung up the phone without waiting for Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu's response.

Holding his phone, after a brief silence, Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu canceled his flight back to Japan and bought a ticket to Yanjing.

He wants to take a good look around.

On the other side, after Yoshihiro Yoshitaka left, Lin Yi and Jiang Daqiao also entered the workshop.

Outside the equipment's shipping container, engineers from Xiaomi Heavy Industry were gathered.

Upon seeing the boss approach, the crowd automatically parted to create a passage, allowing Lin Yi to enter the lithography machine.

After their boss approached the lithography machine, the surrounding engineers were all eager to try it out.

According to what they know, the most technically skilled person at Xiaomi Heavy Industry is this CEO.

The boss is looking at the lithography machine now. Does that mean he's going to lead everyone to assemble this piece of equipment?
If that's the case, that would be so awesome.

This equipment costs tens of millions of dollars. They have no experience with it. The only thing they can do is wait for ASML's engineers to come and install it while they watch and learn from them.

If the boss trains them now, they won't need to learn from others.

Then they can study openly and legitimately!

Lin Yi stood outside the lithography machine's transport container, called up the system, and began scanning the equipment.

It took less than 30 seconds to scan all the devices.

Once the equipment finished scanning, the relevant drawings appeared before his eyes, and the corresponding technologies also appeared beside them.

Lin Yi began to look through the blueprints, and as he looked at them, he frowned.

Because there are some inconsistencies in the drawings.
