Chapter 186: Big Red Robe Diplomacy
"Professor Aso, please be seated, please be seated. During the lunch break, I asked Brother Cai to invite you over...... I'm really sorry. Seeing Cai Junjie knocking on the door with Aso Junyi coming in, Yu Zixian hurriedly got up to greet him.
In the morning meeting, there was no good discussion on how to obtain photoresist quickly and effectively.
Liszt verbally promised to find a way to help Xiangji obtain the supply of photoresist as soon as possible, but it was only a verbal promise, and it was unknown how to obtain the supply, how much it could be supplied, and when it could be delivered.
Yu Zixian did not doubt ASML's sincerity in helping Xiangji at this time, because at this time, there were seven or eight installation and commissioning personnel transferred from other places at the equipment commissioning site of Xiangjiang Electric. They are also eager to complete the installation and commissioning tasks and leave as soon as possible, instead of delaying the construction period and staying in Xiangjidian.
You know, at this time, ASML has received many new orders because of the launch of PAS 5500, and a new round of equipment installation will start soon, which is the time when a large number of personnel are needed.
However, in Asia, ASML has some influence on Bay Island, and they are still powerless. In the past, they could also help Xiangji get some photoresist, but now that the supply of photoresist in Bay Island is also tight, Yu Zixian feels that it will be difficult for them to bypass the pass!
Therefore, Yu Zixian has always been skeptical about Liszt's side to help solve the urgent need to solve the supply of photoresist. Although it is possible to solve it in time after half a month or a month, Xiangjidian can't wait. Three days, or five days at most, require a supply of photoresist. Counting the handover of goods and road transportation, even if it is by shipping, how can it take two days.
So, relying on ASML, Xiangji can't wait!
After that, Yu Zixian called Cai Junjie and Kashima Tomoki to sort out and analyze the situation again, planning to let Kashima Tomoki play his old relationship to see if he could solve this trouble.
Tomoki Kashima is also hard to say about the current situation. After all, he took the technical route, that is, when he was in Suyu Seiko, because he was the vice president of the LCD production line, he had a little contact with the procurement and sales of these semiconductors, but he was not very familiar with it.
As a result, Cai Junjie said sullenly: "My mentor may have a way to ......"
When Yu Zixian heard Cai Junjie say this, he was happy, what he was waiting for was your words. In the morning, Yu Zixian wanted to ask Aso Shunichi for advice, but after all, the other party was just a guest invited by Cai Junjie, not Xiangjidian's own person, and there were some things that the other party didn't speak first, and Yu Zixian couldn't directly ask the other party to do anything.
So after lunch, Yu Zixian called Cai Junjie to learn about Aso's situation, and invited Aso Junichi to help solve this matter and ask Cai Junjie's opinion, after all, he is Cai Junjie's mentor.
The laboratory where Cai Junjie's mentor is located specializes in semiconductor integrated circuit lithography process and process flow, and it is inevitable to deal with manufacturers such as lithography machines and photoresists. Only by organically combining them together can we achieve an advanced semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing process, or overcome a certain key node of technology!
To put it simply, Shunichi Aso is a comprehensive expert who understands both the lithography process, the principle of the lithography machine, and the characteristics of photoresists!
Mr. Yu was polite. To be honest, the two-day visit gave me a new understanding and sense of Mr. Yu. Before I came, I wondered if the trip was worth it, or if it was rewarding, but after I arrived, I saw the vigorous atmosphere of Xiangjidian. Although the current scale is not large, the pursuit of technology and craftsmanship is very extreme! This is very worthy of recognition, especially in the current Xiangjiang. ”
While listening, Yu Zixian glanced at Aso Shunichi and nodded, but the work of making tea under his hand on the other side did not slow down.
I saw Yu Zixian use freshly boiled boiling water to pour it into the tea making utensils, the water was full to slightly overflow, quickly scraped off the foam on the surface of the teapot, and quickly poured out the tea when the tea was not opened, which was considered to have completed the tea washing and waking up.
Aso Junyi looked at Yu Zixian's hands making tea and trembled slightly, but he had a meticulous expression, and inhaled slightly with his nose, then closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, he said quietly: "What kind of Huaxia tea is this? Xiao Cai brought me Huaxia tea once before, but obviously there is a huge difference between the two......
Yu Zixian took the opportunity of Aso Shunichi to close his eyes and secretly give Cai Junjie a thumbs up - sure enough, Aso Shunichi is also a master of the tea ceremony!
"Professor Aso is actually a master of the tea ceremony......!
Yu Zixian poured the boiling water into the teapot again, and waited for about 2 minutes before starting to pour the first brew.
Jun Aso picked up the tea cup on the coffee table, first smelled its fragrance, and then slowly inhaled the tea soup, slowly tasted it, sniffed while sipping, and drank it lightly......
Seeing that Aso Jun tasted the first bubble, he seemed to be enjoying it very much, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Professor Aso...... Huaxia tea is divided into green tea, black tea, and oolong tea, and this is one of our Huaxia specialty teas!"
"Very strong tea aroma ......"
"Yes, Professor Aso...... The aroma is rich and orchid-like, the fragrance is high and long-lasting, and the rock rhyme is obvious. This is one of the typical characteristics of the big red robe. Da Hong Pao is produced in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province, belongs to oolong tea, is the best quality of rock tea, very precious, known as the "champion of tea", the quality and taste are unique. ”
"I didn't expect Mr. Yu to be so familiar with the tea ceremony. Aso Jun picked up the second bubble that Yu Zixian had just brewed.
Yu Zixian smiled, and then said: "Da Hong Pao is warm, very suitable for drinking in autumn and winter, it can not only warm the stomach but also moisturize the skin, and can enhance the body's ability to resist the cold." If Professor Aso likes it, I still have one or two authentic Kowloon Cave big red robes, and if you like it, Professor Aso can take it away!"
"One or two?" Cai Junjie asked in a puzzled whisper.
"That's right, it's one or two, I only have one or two left, and I didn't even want to drink this Kowloon big red robe before!"
After finishing speaking to Cai Junjie, he explained to Aso Shunichi: "Anyway, there is another interesting thing about the Kowloon Cave Big Red Robe......
"Really, what's the fun?" asked Aso curiously.
"In 1972, when Nixon visited China, the then leader of the Republic presented him with four taels of tea leaves from the mother plant of Dahongpao. Because Nixon did not know that the mother plant of Da Hong Pao had a small yield and was extremely precious, he once complained privately about *** stinginess. Premier Zhou later explained this to Nixon, saying: "The chairman has already given away half of the country. He told him the origin of the big red robe, and Nixon was in awe. ”
"Oh, I didn't expect this tea to be so precious!" Aso glanced at the tea leaves wrapped in yellow cloth and satin on the table, and grabbed it in his hand at once.
"Haha...... Although these two tea leaves are not produced by the mother plant of Dahongpao, they were also brought by the trustee from the Fujian Provincial Tea Research Institute...... It's also very rare when there is no large-scale cultivation and reproduction now! However, Professor Aso, you can take these two tea leaves with you!"
Yu Zixian was telling the truth.
The Wuyi Mountain Tea Research Institute will wait until the past few years to continuously carry out the excavation, sorting and breeding of Wuyi Mingcong (tea trees), and it will not be fruitful until these years.
Therefore, when Yu Zixian asked Hao Meng to find some expensive tea for entertaining guests or giving gifts to important guests, Hao Meng inquired about the big red robe from his girlfriend, and then found a way to get some.
When Yu Zixian first knew that it was the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain, he was very excited, this is really not easy at this time!
"Yu Jun, next time, when you arrive, I will invite you to the best tea in our Japanese tea - Gyokuro, although it is green tea, it also has a different flavor!"
Yu Zixian was overjoyed, "Mr. Yu" became "Yu Jun", this kung fu practice of brewing tea at noon was not in vain!
When he was about to invite Aso Shunichi over, Yu Zixian asked Cai Junjie about Aso's habits and hobbies, and Cai Junjie told Yu Zixian that Aso Shunichi loved the tea ceremony, and before, he had also sent tea from the mainland of China to his mentor to taste......
After learning the news, Yu Zixian was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the tea set that he had bought before but had not been opened, opened the stored tea leaves, and carefully practiced according to the skills of making tea in his mind......
After more than an hour of continuous contact, Yu Zixian's tea-making skills are very good, at least fool people who have never seen Huaxia tea-making kung fu, it's no problem - the key is to be thick-skinned: even if you make a mistake, you must think that the Huaxia tea ceremony is like this, making tea is serious and serious, and if you can hold your face, then it's OK!
Yu Zixian brewed for a while, then nodded, and said to Aso Shunichi: "Thank you, Professor Aso, I will definitely come to visit when I have the opportunity!
"Xiao Cai, you also come over to taste...... This big red robe is really good!"
Although Cai Junjie doesn't know much about tea, he was also greatly interested in his own extreme enjoyment of tea tasting!
"Thank you, mentor. ”
"Mmmm, Cai Jun, I'm going back tomorrow. This trip can be regarded as a small harvest, and I will fully support the establishment of a joint laboratory in the future! You do a good job, although the scale of Xiangji is currently small, but the technological progress is very fast! And with the strong support of Yu Jun, I believe that your technology will have greater progress and breakthroughs!
"Thank you for the training! I believe that Xiangji will develop better. But now there is one thing that I would like to consult with my mentor......"
"Oh, you say. ”
"Now our 1.2 micron production line is about to be put into production, but the consumable photoresist used in lithography production is temporarily unable to obtain supply ......"
"Aso's classroom, indeed, is the same as what Director Cai said, with the current relationship channels of Xiangjidian, it is more troublesome for us to solve this problem by ourselves...... I would like to ask Professor Aso, do you have any good advice on this?"
"It's a real urgency, but I'll have to consult my friends at Marubeni Co., Ltd. about what to do. But don't worry, I think even if Nikon really wants to cut off the photoresist that ASML supplies, the stakes are too big and the impact is too bad, and it will definitely not ......last long."
After Aso finished speaking, he asked Cai Junjie to take the phone on the desk and make an international call.
“*@#&)*……%”
“%…… ¥()……&*”
Uh, uh, it's Japanese again, Yu Zixian said he was at a loss, so he had to look at Cai Junjie helplessly.
Cai Junjie occasionally translated the Japanese he heard into Chinese to Yu Zixian, but it was more chaotic to listen to it, and then looked at Aso Shunichi's expression, laughing for a while, serious for a while, how to do it or not, Yu Zixian didn't have a bottom all of a sudden!
At present, the supply from ASML is unlikely for the time being, and Yu Zixian puts his greatest hope on Shunichi Aso, after all, Shunichi Aso is not an ordinary bullfork because of his status as deputy director of the semiconductor laboratory of the University of Tokyo. If Aso Junyi, who really wants to do it, can't do it, then Yu Zixian will stop eating completely.
In the end, maybe Hao Meng, who temporarily presided over the consultation of Demon Imagination, could only think of a way.
Although Yu Zixian is very optimistic about the future of Magic Consulting, after all, the establishment time is too short, and it is generally difficult to obtain substantial things except for investing a large amount of money in this kind of information consulting, industrial intelligence and other information!
So far, due to financial difficulties, Yu Zixian's financial support for Moxiang Consulting is only 500,000 US dollars, how much can this money do? In Yu Zixian's mind, it would be good to be able to maintain the company's development normally.
Five minutes later, Aso hung up.
"Yu Jun, I just learned and confirmed that the current production of Shin-Etsu Chemical and Sumitomo Chemical photoresist is normal, so there will be no shortage of supply. So it's really the same as the information you have already learned before, it's just because after Nikon and Canon took the lead, everyone tacitly cooperated to tighten the supply of photoresist for ASML lithography machine factories...... Including Red Pill Co., Ltd., which previously supplied you with a 3-micron photoresist. ”
When Yu Zixian heard this, he was also relieved! The supply interruption should not last long.
"I just contacted and coordinated, and specifically consulted with a friend about the supply arrangement of your 1.2 micron process photoresist from Shiramimau Co., Ltd., and he did not give a specific answer after the inquiry, but only said that it is estimated that after the release of Nikon's new lithography machine, ......."
Nima, Nikon's new lithography machine was released? Isn't it late October? It's not more than 20 days, and Yu Zixian is a little anxious: "Professor Aso...... Can you help us figure out a way to get them back up and running ahead of time......"
