"If they want to be the first, let's give them the first one. Now the price of lithography machines on Licon is expected to be reduced."

Zhou Ming's simple words made Wang Rujun open up his mind at once.

"Yes! It turns out that in order to overtake, we must build an immersive lithography machine in front of the world. Now, although Wang Zhongmin has made it first and we have lost the first-mover advantage, it also means that second-tier technology is eliminated, so we can acquire second-hand equipment all over the world and consolidate the second-level technology first. After all, most chips use less than 65-nanometer-level processes."

Wang Rujun talked endlessly: "And even though Wang Zhongmin has developed an immersive lithography machine now, it does not mean that he can mass-produce 65-nanometer chips immediately. Even the lithography machine itself may not be able to get it first. This is our opportunity!"

It is worthy of being Wang Rujun!

Zhou Ming praised that although many people in later generations called Wang Rujun the godfather of chips, in fact, technology is not Wang Rujun's strength, but industry planning is.

Just like this time Wang Zhongmin first broke through the research and development of immersive lithography machines. Although Wang Rujun was unable to truly devote himself to the competition agreement, and the backward accumulation of domestic chip technology, in general, Wang Rujun is indeed not as good as Wang Zhongmin in terms of technological innovation alone.

But Wang Rujun’s real ability is to coordinate the situation and an entrepreneur. He relied on the magical operation of building factories and buying equipment in counter-cyclical manners, and was later appointed as the vice president of Texas Instruments.

In addition to the original world line, China is completely behind in the field of lithography machines, but even in later generations, the process has been pushed to below 5 nanometers, but the 28-nanometer process that is behind three generations can still meet more than 70% of the market needs. It is precisely because of the huge domestic market that China has made it a little bit by bit to gain technology.

Therefore, Zhou Ming was not worried about the current situation at all: the worst is to return to the world he was familiar with, and it was not that he had never experienced it.

Wang Rujun also said the more he felt the situation wider: "And as Mr. Zhou Ming, you said, Wang Zhongmin and AWSL jointly developed an immersive lithography machine, putting considerable pressure on Likang. Yamamoto's Japanese devils have been crazy recently and have even sold his dry lithography machines everywhere, even reducing the price for discounts."

"When the news of this press conference comes out and fermentes for a while, they will only be more anxious and give discounts on larger spaces. This is our opportunity!"

At the end, Wang Rujun sighed in great emotion: "Mr. Zhou Ming, your thinking is so active. The situation where there were originally a silence, but I didn't expect that in your eyes, it became another village with dark flowers. It's so amazing!"

"I just provided an idea, and you think of it yourself, Professor Wang."

Zhou Ming was kind and said that he was looking forward to seeing future achievements.

...

Everything was as Zhou Ming expected. When the news came that Wang Zhongmin and AWSL developed an immersive lithography machine, it gave Likang a blow.

Countless news and analysts have pointed out that the current situation is quite unfavorable to Lecca. Even if Lecca cannot make new technological breakthroughs in a short period of time, Lecca is likely to become a second-rate lithography equipment manufacturer.

Although Likka President Masao Yamamoto also found a way to save it, it shows that Likka's X-ray scanner and immersive lithography machine are two different technical routes. In addition, Likka lithography machine is in the city

The reaction on the field is very good, and it cannot be taken away by any company.

But the effect is mediocre, and it still cannot stop Likang's plunge in stock price. In just a few days, more than one billion funds evaporated.

Under this situation, Masao Yamamoto was going crazy. He kept visiting countries, hoping to reach a decisive big order and promised various preferential conditions. However, Sansan was bargaining, and it seemed that China was just interested, so he was so anxious that his hair was gone one after another.

"Baga! These Xiba bastards, I care about these benefits today and those benefits tomorrow, but I never ask for orders. This is simply the worst customer!"

Once again, Masao Yamamoto was so angry that he cursed, wanting to stab the guy named Li to death with one knife.

But every time he calls, he has to pay a smile. After all, only Sansang is willing to discuss all his high-end customers.

But even so, Masao Yamamoto decided to continue visiting China. He knew very well that Sansang's size was limited, and those Konishi Hachi were all the ones who took advantage of it and had no credit at all. Only a big country like China could save the current Likang.

But now, most of the lithography machines sold in China are backward lithography machines, such as the high-end lithography machines of the 193-nanometer level, which are no one cares about.

As long as... just sell even a high-end lithography machine, as long as you can turn on a little sales volume and cooperate with publicity, you can prove that Lecco is still the leader in the lithography industry. It cannot be changed by a small immersive lithography machine, and you can explain it to the board of directors.

This time, Masao Yamamoto directly approached Wang Rujun and kept persuading immersive lithography machines to be a scam, and only the Likang lithography machines are the future.

"Although Wang Zhongmin claimed that he solved the problem of refraction and heating of light in water, he did not give any technical indicators, which made people suspect that he was a scam!"

"On the contrary, the technology of Lecco lithography machine is mature and the various parameters are disclosed. It is also the mainstream international product at present, and it is definitely the best choice in the chip industry!"

"And what we are now offering is the best policy, and such discounts may not be available again in the future!"

If ordinary people were to face Yamamoto's persuasion, they might be a little hesitant, but Wang Rujun, who was a skilled man, knew very well about this.

Wang Rujun smiled and said that he was just a university professor and could not interfere in these business matters.

Masao Yamamoto is also a good person, so he would not believe this. He kept flattering Wang Rujun was the godfather of China's semiconductors. He was absolutely authoritative in the industrial chain of this country, and everyone would listen to him.

In fact, Masao Yamamoto came to China to contact Wang Rujun for a day or two. Wang Rujun has been hanging him just to make him anxious so that he can always take the initiative.

After listening to Masao Yamamoto talk for a long time, Wang Rujun slowly spoke: "Mr. Yamamoto, I can feel your sincerity, but because of my competition agreement, I am really irresponsible for any semiconductor-related companies. But I can remind you to go to Mr. Du Peng, whose fund company is responsible for coordinating investment in all chip-related companies in China."

Masao Yamamoto slapped the table in annoyed manner: "Of course I know that Mr. Du Peng is responsible for investment in the chip industry, but the final technology is still Mr. Wang, you

Isn't it that Bian is responsible?"

Wang Rujun was still calm about this and just continued to tell him to find Du Peng.

Masao Yamamoto looked at Wang Rujun deeply and then left with doubts.

Although Masao Yamamoto didn't understand what Wang Rujun meant, he still contacted Du Peng immediately after leaving, but the Japanese did not know that Du Peng had been waiting long ago.

"Purchasing a Leccon lithography machine is not a problem, but the most important thing is that they need to sell relevant technologies. Otherwise, if they still lock their equipment as before and prohibit our technicians from watching, there is nothing to talk about." Zhou Ming told Du Peng's attitude was quite clear.

Just kidding, what else do you think of not taking this rare opportunity to find a way to dig your ancestral grave?

So during his meeting with Masao Yamamoto, Du Peng came up and said that he wanted to cooperate with Likang lithography machine technology.

"Mr. Yamamoto, I think you should understand that China is a big country. Our companies are from all over the world, just like Yanjing Circuit and Huaxin. These two important chip factories are more than three thousand miles apart. If technical cooperation is not opened, it is easy to cause failure handling in time and cause production problems. This not only affects chip production, but also has an impact on the Likang brand."

"We understand that Lecco needs to protect its intellectual property rights, but this is not a reason to refuse cooperation. On the contrary, I think only open technical cooperation is the direction of the future!"

Of course, Masao Yamamoto was unwilling. He said he was willing to add branches in China to solve related technical problems.

"Mr. Du Peng, the quality of our Leccon lithography machine has always been very excellent, and there are very few problems. The addition of offices is just to increase the final guarantee, which is not important."

Du Peng laughed and exposed him directly: "That's not necessarily the case. As far as I know, Yanjing Circuit has had two major accidents this year. On the contrary, Huaxin, which uses AWSL lithography machines, has never had similar accidents."

Masao Yamamoto was so red that he even said bluntly that this was an operational error, and their lithography machine itself had no problem.

Du Peng continued to illustrate that every time Yanjing Circuit changes its design plan, it requires staff from Likang Company to come and arrange it, which greatly delays work efficiency.

Masao Yamamoto said this is normal. After all, chips are in the precision manufacturing industry, so they need to be carefully deployed for a long time.

Du Peng said that his company is in a stage of rapid development and he needs more trouble-free practices.

Masao Yamamoto assured Du Peng that he could allocate his time better and ensure that he invested in the company's production as quickly as possible.

So Du Peng repeatedly raised this issue with Masao Yamamoto. At first, Du Peng was still interested in accompanying Masao Yamamoto to discuss the lithography machine, but seeing the Japanese were so unreasonable, Du Peng was too lazy to argue, so he simply talked about culture with him.

Anyway, Du Peng was not in a hurry at all, so he would accompany the Japanese to chat about the whole country.

Masao Yamamoto was anxious now. After all, Likan's revenue is decreasing and his stock price is plummeting wildly. He couldn't bear it at all. In the end, he could only make a statement: "I can apply for technical cooperation to the headquarters, but I still hope that Mr. Du Peng will place an order first, so that we can follow up in the future."
