It's settled!

Apple paid $38 for each device sold.

The upfront money is deducted directly from the price of ten lithography machines.

The price of the lithography machine is calculated according to ASML's quotation to other manufacturers, plus the shipping price of similar products in the market.

Of course, the specific calculation is that the financial departments of the two companies are docked.

It's estimated to be less than $3 billion.

It is not clear whether this price can satisfy Tim Cook Wang Yufei, but in the end, when the two parted, their smiles were still very bright.

Wang Yufei actually feels sorry for Tim Cook.

After all, the elimination of the Apple tax is the best option for Apple.

Because in three to four months at the latest, the Xin system will be launched. This system, which was born directly across PCs, mobile phones, and tablets, and intends to take a free system, can become the last straw that crushes Apple's closed-loop ecology.

After all, without the closed-loop ecology of IOS, even if you want to collect Apple taxes, you can't put it away.

God knows how many lawsuits will be fought when the time comes.

But that's what Ge Lingyue needs to have a headache about.

It's just not known if Tim Cook took his gamble as a joke.

If you think about it when you go back, you are really willing to fight this lawsuit with Wang Yufei......

Well, that's going to be a lot less lawsuits.

There is Apple's patent library at the top, and the energy consumption is very long.

Of course, from Tim Cook's point of view, the idea is naturally different.

The contract was humiliating.

But there is no way.

It's the same as Apple has to collect Apple tax, and other merchants can't do it.

In a monopoly position, you can always speak louder.

What made Tim Cook decide to sign this contract for the time being, naturally, was because he still had expectations for the Silicon Valley Alliance.

Although he has compromised for the time being, as long as the Silicon Valley Alliance can develop a similar product with performance comparable to brain-computer chips within a year, Apple will naturally be able to smile again.

In order to keep the market, temporary humiliation is nothing.

Take a long-term view.

And after loading the brain-computer chip, Apple still has the most stable and high-quality application provider in the world.

In the future, it is not impossible to develop more high-quality applications for brain-computer chips than those that are more suitable for them.

At that time, the Apple tax can still make up for the money that is expensive on brain computer chips.

In short, as long as the heart is strong enough, it is natural to be fearless to challenge!

......

Not mentioning the mentality of both sides, anyway, Wang Yufei only felt relaxed after talking.

The next cumbersome detail negotiation is naturally for Ge Lingyue to find a special department head to dock.

Wang Yufei, who got Apple, only felt relaxed.

There shouldn't be any more people making trouble in the near future.

Samsung, Apple, and Intel have all been dealt with one after another.

It has also won a period of stable expansion for Changxiang Technology.

Now that the reputation of enjoying science and technology has been played, it shouldn't be too troublesome for Ge Lingyue to recruit people, right?

But for the time being, none of this has anything to do with Wang Yufei.

Before the official launch of the Xin system, he decided to hibernate for a while.

Improve the system, prepare for the brain machine club and return to Star City to have a good New Year.

......

Facts have proved that Wang Yufei's judgment was correct.

When all the relationships are smoothed out, the following days are indeed quite comfortable.

Of course, it is not that nothing has happened, for example, the chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company personally went to the capital, it is said that he hopes to persuade Changxiang Technology to be able to avoid the past and give Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company another chance.

Wang Yufei did not come forward, and Ge Lingyue received the whole process.

So Wang Yufei didn't know how the two sides talked.

But Ge Lingyue strictly implemented his decision, and in the end, Liu Dong could only leave the capital with regret.

The good news is that the Samsung Group in Korea is very, very powerful.

A week after the contract was signed, a brand-new ASML Twinscan NXE: 3400C extreme ultraviolet lithography machine was shipped to Huaxia, delivered to Changxiang Technology, and then donated to Huaqing University.

Huaqing University held a donation ceremony and announced on the same day that the construction of the chip laboratory of Huaqing Brain Machine Society officially started.

This is probably a pioneering event in the history of Huaqing.

Because it has not yet reached the review time, the brain-computer club has not yet been officially established, but the latest chip laboratory named after the school club has begun to be listed.

This is indeed something to celebrate.

ASML's state-of-the-art lithography machine, equipped with Cymer's 340W light source, has increased wafer engraving capacity from 155 to 170 wafers per hour.

Of course, these are not the point, the point is that after owning this lithography machine, Huaqing University has the ability to develop the most advanced 7nm or even 3nm process chip manufacturing process.

After all, there is no latest 3400C extreme ultraviolet lithography machine in China.

Huaxin International successfully ordered one at ASML, but it was an old model of 3400, not even as advanced as this one, and it had not yet arrived.

Wang Yufei did not appear at the donation ceremony, and Ge Lingyue spoke on his behalf.

Anyway, now his identity as the boss behind Changxiang Technology is already well known.

For the initiators of the Brain Machine Club, it doesn't matter if he speaks or not, everyone knows that he has fulfilled his promise.

As a result, the Brain Machine Club, which has not yet been formally established, has already become famous in Huaqing.

Then the requirements for the selection of the brain-computer club also spread on campus.

At present, only Huaqing students with a GPA of 3.7 or above are eligible to join the club.

How to say it!

For countless ordinary Huaqing students, they can only give a thumbs up and reluctantly shout 666 twice!

Later, news came out that the Brain Machine Club did not mind the students of other brother schools to join, and there was only one requirement, and the final grades should be based on Huaqing's grade point algorithm, and the GPA could only be accepted if it reached 3.7.

Well, how to put it, it's very Huaqing.

Who doesn't know that Huaqing's GPA algorithm is the most pitiful for students?

In other schools, there are one or two homework in the final exam every year with a score of 85, and the average GPA can reach 3.7 in the end, but Huaqing is different, any homework below 90 points is basically missed by 3.7.

Of course, there are exceptions, if you have a slightly lower GPA, but can win awards in various international or domestic scientific research activities, and have been recognized by more than three vice presidents, you can be specially approved to join.

So it didn't take long for everyone to understand.

The brain-computer club is a club founded by a genius and only recruits scholars.

It is extremely unfriendly to ordinary scholars.

But people often have such a competitive mentality.

The club that no one else can join, but I can join, always has a special attraction.

Especially now that the final exam is approaching, it is surprising that many students are more diligent.

After all, if you can be selected into the brain-computer club, it will be a very honorable thing.

It is said that the applications of members of Huaqing's soon-to-be-built chip laboratory brain-computer club will be given priority approval.

This even made many professors who study chips in other universities move their minds.

Well, if you can let your own outstanding students join the brain-computer club, can you also give priority to using Huaqing's chip laboratory for experiments?

That's a promising idea!
