"Zhou Sang, please speak."

Liuli Jingxiang frowned, not only Chinese, but everyone in the world with some intelligence knows such a truth. What you don't need money is the most expensive.

Zhou Shuo was talking about a request, not a sum of money. If he gives a figure, Ruri Kyoka believes that even if it exceeds 10 million US dollars, it may not be a good deal. But what he wants is a request, and who knows what it is? Some of the requirements may not be very costly, but they are simply not something that money can solve. Or money can solve the problem, but it will certainly be much more expensive than giving cash directly.

However, she still nodded and looked at Zhou Shuo seriously.

Zhou Shuo stretched out a finger and said indifferently: "I have only one request, patent cross-licensing." ”

Sure enough, no money is always the most expensive.

Zhou Shuo's strategy for Sharp is actually not much different from that of Nikon, using one or two groundbreaking technologies in exchange for basic technologies in the hands of current market giants. In this way, they will make up for their lack of foundation, and then rely on the strong domestic market and industrial scale to squeeze their opponents out of the domestic market first, and then compete in the international market.

Of course, Nikon was looking for his own death, and he was too greedy to jump into the pit he had dug.

The strategy is the old strategy of blocking the street, but as long as it can be used and can catch fish, it is a good strategy, isn't it? It is precisely because of the old strategy that has been successfully experienced that it will be a good strategy!

Liuli Jingxiang pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "This request is beyond the scope of my authority, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer to Zhou Sang now." ”

"It doesn't matter. It wasn't that urgent. Zhou Shuo smiled lightly, Liuli Jingxiang is a small clerk, maybe he has some power in his hands. But even the $10 million acquisition can't just let her call the shots. She's more of a scout in nature, she's here to scout for fire and hit the front station.

No matter what Zhou Shuo asks, in the end, there must be a higher-level person in charge to come forward. Or the head of the LCD division, or the quasi-senior management of Sharp needs to come forward, and at least one executive member of the board of directors must come, right?

Of course, whether there will be a higher-level person in charge will appear, and the Jinglong plan will also need to show its own value. If the research of the Crystal Dragon Project is not progressing at all. Maybe Sharp will think you're bluffing to raise the price.

"Now that Miss Jingxiang is here, why don't you take a look at the results of our Crystal Dragon Project so far? Since you are an employee of the Sharp LCD Technology Reserve Department, you think you have some technical knowledge, right? Just to judge. How good is our level of technology. Zhou Shuo stood up and sent an invitation to Ruri Jingxiang.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Ruri Kyoka bowed and saluted, looking curious.

Yes. Of course she would be curious. China should still be the era of CRT displays, how can a company suddenly emerge that is interested in LCD technology? It's like a kangaroo suddenly appeared on the American continent a thousand years ago.

However, she didn't ask much, and Ruri Jingxiang also understood that her status was too low, and at this stage, she only needed to bring eyes and ears. Now that Fanhan Group has put forward its own requirements, naturally she doesn't need to wear out her tongue anymore.

This small building in the corner of Huaqing University looks old on the outside, but it is unique on the inside. Zhou Shuo generally introduced: "The first floor here is a place for external offices, but there is nothing to say. Start up from here. It is the coordination and organization department of the Jinglong plan. The second floor is mainly responsible for the research and development of the backlight system of the TFT-LCD liquid crystal panel, and the third floor is responsible for the research and development of the liquid crystal panel system. This is the backlight coordination office. Diffusion Plate Development Division......"

Zhou Shuo led Liuli Jingxiang to walk around from top to bottom and gave a rough introduction. Then I picked a random office, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mr. Zhou......"

"Sit down and get on with your work."

Zhou Shuo stopped the people in the office from standing up, walked around the room by himself, and introduced to Liuli Jingxiang: "Miss Jingxiang, please look, this is our CVD technical preparation office. As you can see from the name, we have not yet mastered the large-size, high-precision chemical vapor deposition technology required for LCD panels. But we are already working with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to focus on this technology. ”

As he spoke, he took out a copy of the text from the table, and just wanted to hand it out, when he suddenly remembered that Ruri Jingxiang should not be able to understand Chinese, so he had to read it in Japanese while translating: "The SiH4 monomer film formation of TFT-LED liquid crystal panels, CVD equipment needs to maintain 10% uniformity in film uniformity, and the film forming temperature is between 280 degrees and 360 degrees......"

Zhou Shuonian This is the bidding document for LCD CVD equipment, and it is true that he has reached a cooperation agreement with the Microelectronics Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but what he didn't say is the development cycle. The entire LCD CVD equipment development cycle is estimated to take three to five years at the earliest. This is still on the premise of ensuring the continuous investment of large resources, otherwise it will only be far away.

Of course, when it comes to the development of CVD equipment, there is another interesting fact.

Responsible for the development of liquid crystal CVD is Dr. Chen Aihua, who Zhou Shuo recruited from Applied Materials in the United States. After graduating from Origen State University with a Ph.D., he joined Applied Materials. Applied Materials is the world's largest supplier of equipment for semiconductor production, and they can provide equipment for semiconductor production except for lithography machines. In particular, the chemical vapor deposition equipment is the world's top level.

In this life, the doctor named Chen Aihua terminated the contract with Applied Materials after the contract expired. But why was Zhou Shuo able to remember this person? Because he is one of the founders of the famous China Micro Semiconductor, he was once sued by Applied Materials for stealing trade secrets.

Of course, AMEC later made some concessions and reached a compromise with Applied Materials. This matter has little impact in China, and Zhou Shuo also wrote it down when he saw the news by chance.

In the field of domestic wonderful semiconductor equipment, China Micro Semiconductor can be regarded as a rare fruit. Compared with microelectronics on state-owned enterprises that love to put satellites, it can be regarded as doing a lot of practical things, and the industry is not stingy with a thumbs up. The CVD equipment developed by it is not just a good look, but a device that can really compete in the market and make the factory willing to use it.

Zhou Shuo really couldn't understand at that time, the dignified manager of the low-pressure chemical deposition product department of Applied Materials in the United States was able to access a large number of sensitive and confidential patent technical information in the key position - you Americans don't do political review?

It's not surprising that a person named "Chen Aihua" can be in such a position, and then people go back to China to open a company that competes with you in the market, right? Dr. Chen has worked in Applied Materials for more than 10 years, from a designer to a quasi-senior manager such as a product manager.

Of course, it's hard to say whether he joined Applied Materials in the first place because he went to steal teachers. But more than ten years later, he returned to China with his ability to start a business and help the country get rid of the shackles of CVD equipment, which can really be regarded as serving the country with enthusiasm.

Because of the name "Chen Aihua" and his experience, Zhou Shuo really remembered him too clearly. So much so that Pang Zhou was arranged to look for him early, and when his contract with Applied Materials expired, he immediately returned to China with a high salary. This person is a treasure, although it is temporarily placed in the Microelectronics Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but such a place cannot satisfy Dr. Chen Aihua.

Zhou Shuo promised to invest 50 million yuan to support his business in China after completing the LCD CVD project. Although Dr. Chen's name is Aihua, it is impossible for people to be selfless.

As for non-compete agreements......

If you have the ability, you Yankees will come to China to fight a lawsuit, hehe.

Of course, these are all off-topic. The book is back to business, but Liuli Jingxiang doesn't know that this text was drafted by Dr. Chen Aihua, but she knows too much about this technology. After all, the place where she works is the technical reserve department, and in addition to the technology developed by Sharp itself, she is familiar with other technologies.

Just listening to the few numbers pointed out in this article, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat on my back. Why? Because I'm not a real connoisseur, it's impossible to order so accurately. It is said that experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move, and with Dr. Chen's numbers, it is equivalent to knowing the answer in the math test, as long as you write the process according to the answer.

Although for students with a bad foundation, the writing process is also a fatal thing. But there are only a few ideas in total, and you can always try them out one by one. In other words, if Sharp doesn't intervene, it will be only a matter of time before others master the technology.

Liuli Jingxiang and Sharp don't know how important the next two years will be to the layout of the world's LCD industry. Of course, I don't know how urgent Zhou Shuo is to improve the LCD technology in his hand.

Then Zhou Shuo took Liuli Jingxiang to a few offices, and read the relevant texts one by one, which made Liuli Jingxiang set off an incredible wave in his heart.

Not to mention the ITO lithography machine, the core equipment that has been completed, the stupid Nikon sent a whole production line and a complete set of technical data to people, and it is strange that it cannot be built. But where did the rest of the Chinese's technology come from? Although it is not perfect, it can already be seen that they are on the right path.

Although the upgrading of liquid crystal technology is difficult, it is much easier than the upgrade of the chip manufacturing process. With the investment of the Chinese, after three or five years, maybe the Chinese in the 21st century will be able to catch up with Sharp in LCD panel technology. (To be continued......)
