Chapter 490: The More Blockade, the Stronger It Becomes! (2/3)
"It's over!"
"It's all over!"
Chairman Kuroki had just received a call from Kawashima, and he was stunned... This seems to be forced to a dead end, this billion dollars must be sent, if not sent, the whole market may be gone in the future.
This Xu Mang...
How could he be the son-in-law of Yang Hong Group?
Too... What a coincidence, right?
"President?"
"What makes you... Makes your face so bad?" The assistant hurriedly asked when he saw Kuroki and answered the phone, with an expression like delicious dung.
"We were blackmailed by others, and we were extorted by Yang Hong Group for one billion. Kuroki said helplessly: "It's still dollars..."
"What?"
"Yang Hong Group dares to blackmail us JSR?" Assistant Kuroki asked with a surprised face, "President... This... Isn't it a mistake? Aren't we going to sign a contract worth 1 billion yuan with Yang Hong Group?"
"No!"
"It's a contract of three billion. Kuroki explained.
The assistant was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes... It's a contract of three billion, how... How did all of a sudden, it turned out that we were being extorted a billion?"
Kuroki sighed and said indifferently: "Yang Hong Group has mastered the latest photoresist material technology, which is more advanced than us, and the price is only half of ours, and now the other party asks us to give them this batch of products for free, otherwise we will squeeze out the market in the future." ”
What the?
This...
The other party won't be crazy, right?
The assistant said with a frightened face, "How can this be? Could it be fake news?"
"No!"
The person who developed the latest photoresist materials is the world-famous scientist Xu Mang, and he is the son-in-law of President Yang of Yang Hong Group. Kuroki smiled bitterly, "This is really unlucky... Why is Xu Mang the son-in-law of Mr. Yang?"
"That..."
"Shall we give it then?" asked the assistant.
"Give!"
"If you don't give it... We're going to earn a quarter less. Kuroki said bitterly.
Words fall,
Kuroki said seriously: "When I see Kawashima tomorrow, I will get the sample in my hands, and then I will show the researchers in the United States if I can crack it technically." ”
The next day,
JSR's Chairman Kuroki made a special trip to the Demon Capital, and he wanted to meet Xu Mang in person, if he could... It is hoped that an agreement will be reached with Yang Hong Group.
But...
His mind was shattered, and Xu Mang did not appear.
"Mr. Yang?"
Kuroki looked around curiously, but he didn't see Xu Mang's figure, and asked with a disappointed face, "What about your son-in-law?"
"You mean Xu Mang?"
"He's busy with his own business. Yang Jian said indifferently: "It won't appear again." ”
"Is that so?"
"Hmm. ”
Although he was a little disappointed, the next negotiations still had to continue, and in the following period, Chairman Kuroki not only gave away a $1 billion contract for nothing, but also made a request for cooperation, hoping that in the future, we can work together in the field of semiconductor materials.
How is sincerity...
For other semiconductor materials, Yang Hong Group can get the lowest price.
And Yang Hong Group...
Just let them live.
This,
Yang Jian agreed, with the current production speed of EUV-level photoresist materials, self-sufficiency is a problem, let alone peddling outside.
Kuroki came in a hurry, and he left in a hurry.
This time, though, he didn't get nothing, he got a precious sample.
Next
It was handed over to the technicians in the United States to crack this precious sample in all aspects.
...
soon
Domestic media reported the latest news about Yang Hong Group's photoresist materials, under the rendering of these media, Yang Hong Group has become a national enterprise, and the developer Xu Mang once again stood in the spotlight of the media, Weibo, websites, forums, and the comments at the bottom are crazy.
Professor Xu shot again?
All netizens were stunned by this news, and vaguely remembered STM not long ago, when it caused a sensation in the whole world, and as a result... Not long after this incident, the photoresist material incident was revealed again in the blink of an eye.
World-class?
Is it world-class?
"Damn... What the hell is going on? How did Professor Xu get his hands on another blocked technology?"
"That's awesome... It's horrible!"
"Isn't Professor Xu engaged in physics? How can he even know materials? What else can't he do? Can he be like Superman?"
"Hey... Are you crazy upstairs?"
"Based on my years of reading the news, this is a piece of fake news. ”
"The one who says fake news, we don't make this money. ”
Time
The network is boiling,
Everyone knows that semiconductor materials have not been able to break through, and they have been monopolized by foreigners for more than ten years, and even if they are monopolized, the key is that those foreigners are constantly coerced and engaged in embargoes and other actions, which makes people feel disgusting.
Now the photoresist materials produced by themselves not only far exceed their performance, but also the price is very low.
Also banned?
Now no one knows who forbids it.
thereafter
The whole world knew the news, and all the developed countries that had mastered the F2 level of photoresist materials boiled over time, followed by infinite panic, and many media rushed to report the incident.
"Huaguo has mastered the latest photoresist material technology, where is the future of the United States?"
"It's this man who broke through the blockade of the Western world again!"
"Xu Mang... Twenty-one World's Greatest Man!"
"The world's most ridiculous ban comes from the U.S. Department of Commerce's ban on photoresist materials." 》
This time, the tone is very unified, and while the content is reported, it also sends a warning to the current United States.
Austin
SEMATECH HEADQUARTERS,
The full name is Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Strategic Alliance.
SEMATECH manages an international network of leading global partners – including foundries, IDMs, fabless, test, packaging and assembly companies, materials and equipment suppliers – and provides leading-edge R&D technologies.
however
is such an organization, and at this moment it is hit by dimensionality reduction.
All the scientific researchers were confused, they never expected that Huaguo, under the ban, would have developed more advanced photoresist materials, and what was even worse was that the price was half lower than others.
This...
How is this possible?
Crazy, right?
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why is Huaguo able to develop materials under our ban?" said a researcher in the semiconductor manufacturing technology strategic alliance, whose face was full of doubts at the moment, according to the general situation, under the premise that all technologies are blocked, it is impossible for new technologies to be innovated.
Outcome...
There seems to be some magic in this Huaguo, the more it is blocked, the stronger it is!
"This..."
"Xu Mang... He's a monster!" Another R&D staff had a dark face: "I'm afraid we'll soon be ordered to surpass this technology... But the F2 photoresist material, we have been developing it for five years, and this more advanced EUV will take at least ten years, right?"
Everyone stopped talking, and when they thought of the tragic situation in the future, everyone's heart was blocked.
Sure enough,
The top management of the semiconductor manufacturing technology strategic alliance issued an order,
Due to Huaguo's technological update, many manufacturers in the alliance panicked and asked to update their technology.
Updating technology?
That's so easy to update.
But it must be renewed, because the member companies of the semiconductor manufacturing technology strategic alliance need to hand over one percent of their semiconductor sales revenue every year, with a minimum of one million dollars and a maximum of 15 million dollars.
The money is used for research on the latest technologies by the R&D staff in the alliance, which then provides R&D resources to member companies so that they can share the results and reduce the waste caused by duplicate research.
At this point,
Top Executive Williams,
He is being bombarded by the top brass in the United States.
"Williams!"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why did Hua Guo research more materials than we did?" the senior roared angrily: "Do you know that semiconductor materials are our trump card? Now that this low card is gone, the ban we issued a month ago has become a joke all over the world!"
A month ago,
The U.S. Department of Commerce enacted a ban on the sale of photoresist materials to China, and the result was that in just one month, China has developed photoresist materials, and they are more advanced and cheaper than the products sold to China before.
The ordinance has become an international joke.
"I..."
"We'll try. Williams reluctantly said, "Please give us a little time." ”
"How much time?"
"Ten years!"
moment
The other party fell silent.
This senior executive knows that technology research and development takes time, but ten years is too long... Isn't it suppressed by China in the past ten years? And others may not be able to tell how far they have developed in the past ten years, unless they develop across the ages.
"Can we develop across generations?"
"Can't!"
"We need to master the core technology of EUV-grade photoresist materials, and then we need to develop them... Otherwise everything is in vain. ”
Hearing Williams' words,
The high-level is completely desperate, and it seems... The photoresist material has completely fallen and can no longer be saved.
"How much core technology do we have now?" the senior executive asked.
"Silicon wafers, masks, ultra-clean and high-purity reagents, polishing slurries and polishing pads. Williams said: "But we can no longer monopolize it, as long as Huaguo threatens us with photoresist materials, we will definitely give in." ”
"I see. ”
syllable
The call was hung up.
Williams sighed and looked at a newspaper on the table, which was a report about Huaguo's breakthrough in the technological blockade, and the head of one of the men was enlarged, this person was the driving force behind this incident, the developer of the latest photoresist materials, Professor Xu Mangxu.
Xu Mang...
It's horrible!
One person alone can turn the whole world around.
"Williams!"
"The Japanese JSR company took a bottle of photoresist material and said that it was the latest product developed by Huaguo. Williams' friend Dundee came to the office and said to Williams, who was confused, "Do we want to do a test?"
"What?"
"Huaguo's latest product? Is it a photoresist material developed by Xu Mang?"
"Yes!"
Williams thought for a moment, and hurriedly shouted to Dundee: "Organize the people immediately, call all the best people, and we will solve this mystery completely!"
