Chapter 540 There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain

"Mr. Hu, now we can only hope for microelectronic devices. As long as the domestic equipment is developed, even if it is one or two generations behind the other party, I estimate that AS & L will not continue to cut off supply. Of course, there is another way for the state to come forward and negotiate with the Dutch side. However, this is a passive waiting process, and we cannot expect too much. ”

For domestic export of high-end lithography equipment, in addition to AS & In addition to the L itself, a sales license issued by the Dutch government is required.

Once the license is issued every year, without the license, high-end lithography equipment cannot be exported to Xintong International.

After Meng Rusong finished speaking, he shook his head. Key technologies are controlled by people, and when people are stuck, it is so uncomfortable.

The two points he just said actually have no practical value, and they will not play much role in getting rid of the predicament of Xintong International.

After all, Zhang Rulin is older and has experienced more storms. He smiled and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, everything is evolving, and what will never happen?

We should now continue to improve the advanced process and continue to exploit the potential of the existing equipment within a controllable range.

With the transformation of existing equipment and the improvement of advanced technology, we can theoretically advance the process to the limit of 10nm. This process will take about five years, and after five years, maybe none of the issues we are discussing today will exist......"

Hu Yang nodded, in fact, whether it is Meng Rusong or Zhang Rulin, everyone has no way to effectively deal with AS & L's outage.

"Okay, that's it for today, and at present, we are still based on the existing conditions and have been advancing the process to 10nm. ”

In fact, for the current achievements of Xintong International, Hu Yang is very appreciative in his heart. Using existing equipment, through equipment transformation and process optimization, this level can be achieved, and no one believes it.

Next, the heads of each department also reported their respective situations, in general, the company is developing well, the technical level is constantly improving, and the revenue and net profit are also growing steadily.

After the meeting, it was close to noon.

Hu Yang invited everyone out for a hearty lunch.

"Mr. Hu, today's meal has cost you a lot, right?"

Meng Rusong can probably understand Populus Hu's thoughts, Populus Hu saw the supply of the lithography machine, which caused a lot of pressure on everyone's hearts, so he wanted to take everyone out to relax.

"Mr. Meng, these are all trivial matters that are not worth mentioning. You have to do the work for everyone in the future, and the negativity must not spread.

In addition, you and your team have solved the problem of equipment modification and advanced technology, and according to the rules, you should be rewarded. You should do this as soon as possible, sooner rather than later. ”

After eating, Hu Yang, Meng Rusong and Zhang Rulin sat in a quiet café for a while.

Hu Yang explained to Meng Rusong very seriously, morale cannot be discharged, once the pessimistic mood spreads, it will ruin an enterprise.

Zhang Rulin nodded and said, "What Mr. Hu said is right, I will stay in the magic capital during this time." I'll do this work, and I'll definitely regain everyone's morale. ”

"Dr. Zhang, if you are willing to come forward to do ideological work, that is the most suitable. Two, now is the extraordinary period of Xintong International, we still have a maximum of 5 years, let's work together. ”

Regarding high-end lithography equipment, Meng Rusong and Zhang Rulin are both energetic, so they can only be in a hurry. However, the pace of technological progress of the enterprise itself cannot be stopped, and Hu Yang means to let them work with peace of mind.

At the end of the lunch break, Hu Yang separated from Meng Rusong and Zhang Rulin.

Meng Rusong and the others returned to Xintong International to continue working, while Hu Yang took Wu Xinhui and others to the factory of Charm Semiconductor in the magic capital.

The research and development of high-end lithography machines is a large system project, involving materials, laser light sources, high-resolution lenses, and precision machinery..... Wait a minute.

Even if he urges Zhang Xiao every day, it is useless, and many parts need the cooperation of other companies. It can be said that when the domestic high-end lithography equipment catches up with the advanced technology of the West, then many domestic industries must have a qualitative improvement.

Coming to the factory of Charm Semiconductor, Sa Hongli took Populus Hu around in a circle.

At present, the factories of Charm Semiconductor are scattered in several places, and Sa Hongli often flies around.

"Lao Sa, the situation on your side is good, I'll go to the factory in Jianghan when I get back. Keep busy, I'm going to go to the graduate school again. ”

They are all people they can trust, and Hu Yang didn't say much. He was in the magic capital during this time, and he would often come and go around when he had nothing to do.

"Mr. Hu, I'll send you. ”

As a senior executive of the company, Sa Hongli has some understanding of the wind and rain that Huijia is about to face.

If nothing else, let's just talk about the "spare tire" plan, which smells of thick gunsmoke.

Looking at Populus Hu again, he has obviously changed his management style of completely letting go in the past, and the frequency and depth of inspections are very different from the past.

After changing clothes in the locker room, Sa Hongli accompanied Hu Yang out of the production workshop. All the way to the parking lot, the two of them were silent.

"Alright, Lao Sa, you can go back. From now on, do your own thing and don't think too much. There is a road, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. Our Huijia department is not so easy to be defeated. ”

Before getting into the car, Hu Yang patted Sa Hongli's shoulder and said this meaningfully.

For the current Huijia system, the only way out is to work hard and constantly carry out technical climbing.

When I returned home in the evening, Populus euphratica was sullen all the time.

Even Tian Sichun told him several jokes, but his mood still didn't improve.

The shortcoming of high-end lithography equipment has become a curse in Populus Hu's heart. If this shortcoming cannot be made up, the entire industrial chain of Huijia is fragile.

"Mr. Hu, Academician Lu Yiming's phone number. ”

Just as Hu Yang was sitting in the study and meditating, Wu Xinhui knocked on the door and walked in.

Tian Sichun glanced at Wu Xinhui, signaled that Hu Yang was in a bad mood, and walked out.

Hu Yang didn't say anything, and reached out to take the phone: "Hello, Academician Lu." ”

"Mr. Hu, I heard that you came to the capital some time ago? I always have endless meetings during this time, and I didn't bother to contact you. I heard from Huaxin's old Jiang about the predicament you are currently facing, AS& L's outage is no small matter. ”

Lu Yiming has always been very concerned about the development of the domestic semiconductor industry, and naturally he will also pay close attention to these companies under the Huijia system.

About AS& The rumor that L is about to stop supplying Xintong International has been around for a long time, but I didn't expect it to finally become a reality.

In the past two days, Lu Yiming has also heard some new information through his connections, so he will call Hu Yang tonight.

"Thank you Academician Lu for your concern. Let's talk about it, it's both angry and helpless, and we're still trying to figure out a way. However, so far there is no solution to this problem. ”

The gap in technology is not something that can be achieved by throwing money at it. Otherwise, Hu Yang would rather throw all the idle 80 billion yuan of funds in his hand into it.

The lithography machine is no exaggeration to say that it is the crystallization of the world's industrial system for a hundred years, the whole machine needs more than 30,000 parts, each part can not have the slightest deviation, the slightest deviation will cause irreparable losses.

There is still a long way to go in terms of technical catch-up, and there is really no shortcut.

"Mr. Hu, I know you're also busy, so I'll make a long story short. You can pay more attention to the news on foreign affairs these days, and there are some things that I can't say too bluntly, but when it comes to the overall development of the country, it is impossible for the relevant departments to ignore them. ”

Lu Yiming's words were very vague, but in the ears of Hu Yang, it was tantamount to a fairy sound.

Before, he didn't think about reducing the pressure on himself through the national level, in fact, he was also ready to reflect the predicament faced by Xintong International through the magic city.

Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, the supply interruption incident had already attracted the attention of the above.

"Thank you, Academician Lu, I understand what you mean. Then you should rest early, and I will invite you to drink when I have the chance. ”

Hu Yang didn't say much on the phone, and soon hung up.

"Assistant Wu, I'm a little hungry, let them make something to eat. ”

Call Wu Xinhui in and let her go to the kitchen to say something. He barely ate much for dinner tonight, and now he feels very hungry.

Walking downstairs with Wu Xinhui one after the other, Tian Sichun smiled and pulled him to the restaurant to sit down.

"Ah Yang, you, you have to eat for big things. Don't take your emotions home from work, okay? Anyway, the body comes first. ”

This is the first time Tian Sichun has complained about Populus Hu, and Populus Hu smiled and did not defend himself.

Later, the kitchen made two bowls of small wontons and sent them over, Tian Sichun tasted a bite, and the rest went into Populus Hu's stomach.

Two days later.

Jiang Lixing of Huaxin personally came to the magic capital and met Populus Hu face-to-face.

The two of them were in Hu Yang's office, and they talked for more than two hours behind closed doors before Jiang Lixing said goodbye and left.

Hu Yang immediately called Meng Rusong and asked him to wait at the company, and then took a car to Xintong International.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Meng, I have received reliable news that the relevant departments have officially expressed concern about the supply interruption of Xintong International's high-end lithography machine through diplomatic channels.

It is said that AS & There will be a certain compromise on the L side, and the supply to Xintong International will be resumed next year. However, the high-end lithography equipment we get in our hands is at least one generation later than Taipower and other giants, and may even be two generations. ”

In fact, the most advanced high-end lithography machine, AS& L has always given priority to the supply of international giants such as Intel, S Star, and Taipower, and the equipment received by Xintong International is always one to two generations later than them.

Before, Meng Rusong was able to get a 45nm lithography machine in about half a year after Taipower, which can be said to have burned high incense.
