Chapter 248: ASML's Operations
Edmund Bob didn't expect Qi Wenbin to answer him like this, and the tone of his speech was quite unfriendly, and he was a little speechless for a while.
But soon he reacted, frowned and said: "Mr. Qi, you have to understand one thing, Xinghai products do not enter the United States does not mean that they can sell well all over the world, if you insist on going your own way, I think it is likely that something will happen that you don't want to see each other."
So I want you to seriously consider my advice and not act impulsively. ”
Qi Wenbin naturally understood what the other party meant.
Edmund Bob's so-called things that do not want to see each other are naturally sanctions, including banning related products, technologies, accessories bans, patent lawsuits, imported chips, equipment, components, etc.!
Unlike Warwick, it has been 35 years since it was established in 87, and it has sufficient technical reserves and alternative technology products in various fields.
Xinghai Technology is only three years old this year.
Xinghai Technology's current situation is that the cutting-edge technology is very sophisticated, especially in artificial intelligence technology and control systems, which has reached the point where the United States is beyond the reach of the United States.
However, in terms of basic technology and materials, it is very weak, and even a complete ecological chain has not been established, let alone leading.
Once the U.S. government really imposes comprehensive sanctions on Xinghai Technology, it will have a great impact on Xinghai's newly set sail intelligent manufacturing industry chain.
Therefore, unless it is a last resort, Xinghai Technology does not want to completely fall out with the US government for the time being.
Of course, Qi Wenbin can't beg for mercy because of Edmund Bob's threats, but both sides want to maximize their interests on the basis of cooperation.
"Mr. Bob doesn't need to threaten us with sanctions, Xinghai Technology has already prepared for this.
We hope that the cooperation between the two sides is based on fairness and justice, rather than using Xinghai Technology's compromise to obtain market access qualifications, and we don't need such a market!"
“……”
While Qi Wenbin was negotiating with Edmund Bob, Chen Xu was also talking to Eminnick about Carlos.
"Don't you think this is a very dangerous person?"
"I know. ”
"So, you're not going to do something, in case he loses his mind one day..."
Chen Xu looked at Emenic in the video, laughed and said, "What to do?"
Of course, he knew what Emnick meant, but there were some things he didn't tell Aminek, such as the CX language backend can be monitored throughout the whole process, and anyone who uses CX language for programming, every code he typed is clear.
Even the trajectory after the program is run can be controlled.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be done and not said, except for him and Xiaobai, no one can admit it if they ask to die!
Aminik is not stupid, nodded and said, "You just have a number in your heart!"
Chen Xu smiled and quickly shifted the topic to the development of the Xingyu search engine.
After temporarily shaking hands with Tengxun, Xingyu IOT shifted its energy to the Internet of Things and search engine business.
……
The batch of non-core parts of the lithography machine ordered by Xinghai Technology from the Netherlands was finally bought back after a series of operations.
For this reason, nearly $3 million more was spent on the original cost.
Chen Yanan, who was in charge of this matter, was also half angry, this time she knew how ugly the faces of people in Western countries were.
The spare parts bought from ASML's subsidiaries were seized by the customs in the name of the exit inspection of prohibited goods, and then dragged on and refused to be released.
After finding more than N relationships and spending more than N unjust money, the customs finally relented, but asked the company that sells spare parts to issue a written technical instruction manual for the product, and find a third-party agency to re-inspect the product.
It can only be released after it is qualified.
The sales company had no choice but to go to the sales company, but the sales company prevaricated for various reasons, unwilling to issue instructions, and unwilling to cooperate with the inspection.
Finally, under the guidance of others, Xinghai Technology re-ordered a batch at the original price from the company under ASML, and this time the other party was responsible for home delivery.
Then the sao operation came, and the goods sent to them by the company turned out to be the batch seized by the Dutch customs, and even the delivery date on the outer packaging did not change.
ASML is sure that Xinghai Technology can only knock out teeth and swallow blood, because in the world, except for the Netherlands, Xinghai Technology can't buy accessories with the same precision.
Sioux City Science and Technology Park, Star Strontium Semiconductor Laboratory.
Don't get complacent too early, you'll be the real winner until the end. Li Weiyan, head and chief engineer of Xingsi Semiconductor, arrived.
Chen Yanan: "It's just that I can't be angry." What's the difference between them doing that and blackmailing?"
"Mr. Chen, don't be angry, the days of making them cry in the future are ahead!" said Li Weiyan and said: "Let's go, I'll take you over to see the equipment that our company is developing." ”
"What's that?"
Li Weiyan said excitedly: "The laboratory has already started to independently develop lens and light source systems, and once it is successful, it will definitely be more advanced than Zeiss and Cymer!"
Lithography machine, as the name suggests, is to use optical technology to manufacture wafers, and needless to say, the German Zeiss company basically monopolizes the optical lens manufacturing of high-end lithography machines in the world.
The Dutch ASML company and the German Zeiss are "close teammates", even if China has mastered a lot of high-end lithography machine manufacturing technology, but people don't sell lenses to us, the result is still the same.
As for Cymer, the company is the world's leading provider of excimer laser sources, inventing the deep UV light source needed for photoetching microimaging technology, which is the most critical technology in semiconductor manufacturing today.
In 2012, ASML bought its longtime partner Cymer for $2.6 billion.
Chen Yanan naturally knew this knowledge after making up for it during this period of time, but he never expected that Xinghai Laboratory had already started research and development.
Naturally, he was surprised.
"Really? How could I not know?"
"It's still a secret for the time being!"
"That's ......"
The two of them chatted all the way to the underground laboratory.
In a laboratory the size of two basketball courts, Chen Yanan saw an unforgettable scene.
Thousands of robots, like human researchers, are engaged in complex research, sorting and testing materials, operating and debugging equipment and instruments, and each task is extremely proficient.
And it's fast, and every step is done absolutely exactly.
Seeing Chen Yanan's surprised look, Li Weiyan said proudly: "The intelligence of these robots is the best in the world, and they can do almost everything." ”
Chen Yanan was shocked.
Chen Xu told her before that he was studying his own people, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking that it was like "Mozi No. 1", although it could run and jump, it looked amazing, but in fact it didn't have much effect.
But I never expected that these robots would be so intelligent.
