Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd.

At this time, the new chairman Li Qi was holding a meeting for middle-level and above employees in the company's conference room.

The purpose of his meeting today is just to know one thing, that is, whether the company can use its own strength to take down the exposure optical system of high-end lithography machines.

"Director Li, we originally conquered the 90nm lithography machine on our own. But when we were developing the 65nm lithography machine, we encountered huge difficulties and were unable to make a breakthrough.

You all know what happened later. Bolong Optics provided us with the exposure optical system, and the company won the 65nm and 45nm lithography machines in one fell swoop.

What's more, the company has lost a lot of talents during this period. Therefore, it is still quite difficult for us to develop our own exposure optical system."

The technical director of the company said this rather euphemistically. But the central meaning is that there is basically no chance of breaking through the bottleneck of the exposure optical system by relying on the power of the microelectronic equipment itself.

"What about increasing investment? I mean, on the one hand, we increase investment in R&D funds, and on the other hand, we actively introduce high-end talents. Is it possible to achieve technological breakthroughs?"

Li Qi scratched his head. He felt that this matter was the top priority.

Although Bolong Optics is still supplying the company normally for the time being, what about one year from now?

They claim to have made a breakthrough in complete photolithography machine technology and can achieve mass production of 45nm photolithography machines in up to one year.

By that time, the business scope of microelectronic equipment and Bolong Optics are highly overlapping, and supply interruption is a high probability event.

Therefore, Li Qi was very anxious.

"I can't guarantee this, but after all, we have the foundation and technical reserves before. As long as we increase investment, there is still some hope."

The technical director chose his words carefully and answered very carefully.

But this was enough for Li Qi. He decided in his heart that the company must break through this technology as soon as possible, otherwise, sooner or later, it will be choked by others.

So, he submitted the idea to the board of directors for discussion.

But the problem is that Peak Capital just wants to find opportunities to raise the company's stock price, and then prepares to leave. How can they bother to engage in technology research and development?

Li Qi's motion failed to pass, which made him very angry.

"Director You, since you transferred me here, you must give me some support in terms of management, right? You didn't say anything at the meeting. If this continues, the company will really have no future."

He found Director You alone and almost wanted to curse him.

"Director Li, I understand your difficulties. But you also have to think about my difficulties. Even if I agree with your idea, as long as Peak Capital objects, there is still no way it will pass."

Director You really hates himself now. Why was he so greedy in the first place and insisted on becoming fat in one bite?
