Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

It's not just the US; many countries and organizations, including MSI and Teclast, are also looking for Taishan's chip sources.

Many netizens have realized that the so-called inventory is just an excuse.

Taishan's semiconductor research center is like a beacon in the darkness, and many netizens have speculated that Taishan has made new breakthroughs in chip manufacturing.

Xiaoshan knew that this matter could not be kept secret for long, so it was announced to the public that Taishan's semiconductor research center had achieved a new breakthrough.

We are now able to produce our own chips and accept external orders, not limited to high-end, mid-range, and low-end chips.

This news caused an instant sensation around the world.

"Taishan Group is awesome; they can even manufacture lithography machines themselves."

"I didn't know that Taishan Group doesn't sell lithography machines to foreign companies. Mais' lithography machines can't even get a chance to be sold."

"I don't know what the cost is, or if the price will go up."

……

Even the US didn't expect that Taishan Group would actually make a breakthrough.

The US immediately issued a statement: it suspects that Taishan's lithography machine uses US technology and that it needs to be investigated.

However, just two days later, Taishan Group issued a statement saying, "Taishan Group has not developed lithography machines and does not use American technology."

That was all there was to it, and that was the end of it.

The internet was instantly abuzz with opinions about Taishan Group's willingness to do things but not admit them.

With the rise of short video platforms, information is now being disseminated at an astonishing speed.

Currently, the domestic short video platform is divided into three major players: Weibo, Kuaishou, and ByteDance.

Various online celebrities and public intellectuals began to popularize the chip manufacturing process online, refuting Taishan's remarks.

To say that it's impossible to manufacture chips without lithography machines is simply burying one's head in the sand for Taishan Group.

In the Taishan Group office, an assistant reported, "Mr. Xiao, our online buzz surrounding Taishan is rapidly rising. There are supporters and detractors, but most are detractors. After all, using lithography machines to manufacture chips is common knowledge."

It's somewhat insulting to people's intelligence for Taishan to say that it hasn't manufactured a lithography machine.

"I understand. I will have the lithography factory produce a video to clarify."

Taishan Group subsequently issued an announcement: It is common knowledge that chips are manufactured using lithography machines, but is common knowledge always correct? We will release Taishan's chip manufacturing method in the form of a short video on various platforms next Monday.

This announcement immediately caused an uproar, especially in Europe and America, where many people denied that Taishan could possibly have developed a new method.

The lithography machine combines many technologies from developed countries and the hard work of a large number of researchers. So, Taishan Group claims that it can manufacture chips without a lithography machine. Isn't that just a fantasy?

However, it has also instilled fear in many people, who do not want Mount Tai to actually implement this technology.

Otherwise, wouldn't the lithography machine, which was developed by a large number of researchers, be facing obsolescence?

Opinions are divided online. Some believe that Taishan can produce chips without lithography machines, while others believe that Taishan is lying and that it will be easily exposed.

Monday arrived quickly, and countless netizens waited in front of the official short video account of Taishan Group.

Soon a short video appeared, titled "Lithography Factory".

The video provided a simple explanation: the lithography machine integrates all the steps of chip manufacturing into a small machine, and Taishan does not make money by selling lithography machines.

Therefore, many years ago, Xiao Sheng proposed to split the lithography machine into a lithography factory that is more than 200 meters long, so that the chip can be fully exposed and that chips of different specifications can be produced at the same time.

After years of industrial improvements, Taishan Group has finally gathered all the technology needed to build a photolithography factory.

In the video, a huge factory is operating automatically, with countless chips going through step by step to finally take shape.

This video went viral worldwide as soon as it was released.

"A brilliant idea. Maestro produces lithography machines to sell, so it has overcome countless technologies and concentrated all of them into tiny machines that other countries in the world could not produce even if they worked themselves to death. This is because it combines the world's cutting-edge technologies. But when Taishan Group's purpose was not to sell lithography machines but to produce chips, this problem was solved."

"This is what happens when you exert great effort. If I can't build a small one, can't I at least build a large one?"

"Taishan is awesome. Putting everything else aside, the chip problem has been solved. With the lithography factory, my country's annual chip imports of trillions of dollars can be significantly reduced. If the US tries to use chips to sanction us again, it won't be so easy."

……

The emergence of lithography factories has left many people bewildered; it's something countless people couldn't have imagined.

As soon as Taishan Group released a video of its lithography factory, the stocks of chip companies around the world plummeted.

Teclast and Maxscend, whether they produce lithography machines or manufacture chips, have both experienced a sharp decline in stock prices.

No one expected that Taishan Group would take a different approach and come up with the idea of ​​a lithography factory, which is beyond people's common sense.

"Xiao Sheng, your lithography factory has truly given everyone a pleasant surprise."

Today, Mr. Ren from Huawei visited Taishan Group.

Following the sanctions imposed on Taishan, Huawei was subsequently added to Taishan's sanctions list.

Not only mobile phones, but also 5G has faced difficulties from developed countries.

Currently, their supply chain for mobile phones can only be composed of domestic manufacturers that have no connection with the United States.

With the advent of Taishan Group's lithography factory, the US's chip sanctions against Taishan Group have become a complete joke.

From the moment the chip factory officially started accepting orders, the orders have been coming in non-stop.

China is a major consumer of chips, and Xiaoshan also plans to spin off its semiconductor R&D center to accept financing from state-owned capital and major domestic manufacturers.

However, Taishan also controls all the rights over the semiconductor R&D center, which is paving the way for Xiao Jingyan's future.

While he was alive, things were peaceful, but once he's gone, Xiao Jingyan will have a hard time holding onto such a large amount of profit.

Regarding the financing of the semiconductor research center, Xiaoshan immediately called the top leaders of Shenzhen, which controls one of the top state-owned investment companies in the country.

"Xiao Sheng, what brings you, such a busy man, to call me?"

"Big Boss, the lithography factory in Taishan has been announced to the public, but it's not Taishan's style to keep it all to ourselves. I plan to establish a domestic chip alliance in Shenzhen and accept financing from major domestic manufacturers, excluding foreign funds, of course. However, the news hasn't been announced yet. For the first round of financing, I plan to find an investment company in Shenzhen. It's always better to benefit our own people than outsiders."

This can be seen as paving the way for Xiao Jingyan's future. Since Taishan's headquarters is in Shenzhen, there will always be a connection between them.

"Good, Mr. Xiao's foresight is admirable. I will immediately inform the general manager of Shenzhen Investment. The lithography factory is a sure-fire way to make money. Our country imports trillions of dollars worth of chips every year. Even if semiconductor chip factories can account for 50% of that, it's still several hundred billion dollars. Since we can earn this money ourselves, why should we let foreigners do it? How many shares does Mr. Xiao plan to offer, and which companies will be invited?"

Xiao Shan thought for a moment and said, "Currently, major domestic chip users, mobile phone and automobile manufacturers are all on the invitation list. We are prepared to give up up to 40% of our shares, and at the same time, we will sign an agreement allowing Taishan to exercise the relevant rights of the shares."

The senior leader said, "That puts my mind at ease. If the lithography factory had fallen into someone else's hands, I would have been worried about what kind of trouble they might have caused. The general manager of Shenzhen Investment will be going to Taishan Group for negotiations at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and Taishan Group and Shenzhen Investment have simultaneously released announcements.

Shenzhen Investment values ​​Taishan Chip Semiconductor Center at 800 billion yuan and invests 80 billion yuan to acquire a 10% stake.

At the same time, Taishan announced the establishment of its own domestic chip alliance, inviting many companies to join. All companies that join will be eligible to invest in lithography factories.

The establishment of the semiconductor alliance also signifies that the competition between the East and the West in the chip industry has begun to come into the open.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was 2021.

In recent years, not only have domestic mobile phone brands experienced explosive growth, but the automobile industry has also seen a boom.

The global mobile phone market, apart from Apple from the US and Samsung from South Korea, is basically dominated by Chinese mobile phone manufacturers.

Most of the core components are manufactured by Taishan.

The automotive industry is booming, with various new car manufacturers emerging one after another.

Car sales in Japan and South Korea continue to decline, with many models now completely ignored.

In the past two years, with the rapid rise of China and Taishan and the rapid breakthroughs in various technologies, the biggest losers have been South Korea and Japan, as automobiles and semiconductors are the pillar industries of these two countries.

Now, with outbreaks occurring in their respective countries, both nations have experienced a significant reduction in profits, leading to some anger and frustration.

Cars are big-ticket items. For every car that China exports, Japan and South Korea might export one less.

In the past two years, these two countries have been trying to follow the US in waging a trade war and banning the import of Chinese products, especially those from Taishan Group.

However, they are too small in scale and have too many products that need to be exported to China to earn money. Fighting a trade war will only cause them greater losses.

Chapter 821, Xiao Shan Ascends to the Lingxiao Realm! (Please Subscribe!)

Time flies, and it's now 2023. Taishan's industries are developing rapidly.

However, Ding Qiunan passed away in that same year!

After Ding Qiunan passed away, Xiao Shan began to work on the matter of attaining enlightenment and ascending to immortality.

He is now over ninety years old, which is almost the upper limit of human lifespan in this world!

So Xiao Shan supported Xiao Jingyan in taking over the Taishan Group while searching for a suitable place for himself to achieve enlightenment and ascend to immortality.

After all, there are satellites everywhere in the sky now, and Xiao Shan doesn't want his entire process of attaining enlightenment and ascending to immortality to be recorded.

If it were really recorded, Xiao Jingyan and the others would probably never have a peaceful day again!

After discussing with the chat group, Xiao Shan finally chose Venus, the closest planet to Earth, as the place where he would attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality.

Three years later, Xiao Shan faked his death and escaped, having arranged everything.

After witnessing his own funeral, Xiao Shan traveled alone to Venus.

After choosing a suitable location on Venus, Xiao Shan tagged all members in the chat group.

Group owner Xiao Shan: "I have now arrived at Venus and am preparing to undergo my tribulation!"

You Ruo: "The group leader is awesome! Turn on a video and let us learn! Maybe I'll be able to use this knowledge when I'm going through my tribulation!"

Yue Buqun: "I originally thought that Master Zhang and Old Master Ren would be the first to undergo tribulation, but I didn't expect that the first one to undergo tribulation would actually be the group leader!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Group leader, we don't know what will happen after this tribulation and ascension, so you'd better be careful!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Okay, I'll be careful!"

……

Pulling his mind away from the chat group, Xiao Shan directly opened the chat group's live broadcast room and began live streaming his tribulation.

Xiao Shan sat down cross-legged and then took out all the methods he had prepared to deal with the tribulation.

First, there was the Formless Heavenly Robe he was wearing, upon which thunder and fire incantations constantly appeared.

Secondly, there was a three-petaled golden lotus on its head, with countless rays of clear light hanging down, protecting Xiao Shan's side.

After that, with a set of Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Flags purchased from the group store in Xiaoshan, one can set up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation.

Just as Xiao Shan was setting up these measures, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder and lightning began to surge.

Then, nine bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, but were blocked by the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.

After the thunder, heavenly fire came to burn.

Xiao Shan sat cross-legged, holding a fire-avoiding incantation in his hand and reciting the Nine-Character Mantra.

Heavenly fire descended upon him, yet he allowed it to burn him. Only bursts of light flashed, and the heavenly fire could not harm him.

After the heavenly fire comes the tribulation of inner demons!

Before the inner demon tribulation could even descend, the dragon and tiger jade pendant at Xiao Shan's waist transformed into a dragon and a tiger, directly swallowing the inner demon tribulation cloud.

Huang Rong: "I didn't expect to pass through this tribulation so quickly! It wasn't as difficult as I imagined, was it?"

Yan Chixia: "This is because the group leader made thorough preparations; otherwise, the Thunder Tribulation could have turned many of the tribulation seekers to ashes."

Zhan Zhao: "Then it seems we'll have to be well-prepared when we face our tribulations in the future!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Of course!"

……

After the three tribulations passed, heaven sent down sweet dew and golden light, praising humanity's ascension to immortality.

Ganlu and Jinguang rushed straight to Xiaoshan and entered his body before he could react.

"sublimation!"

As the golden light of creation entered his body, it began to transform his immortal form and magical power.

This is a qualitative change, bringing a joy and satisfaction from the depths of the soul.

Unfortunately, the whole process didn't last long.

In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the immortal body was formed from the inside out.
