Chapter 459: Faith
6 Ge seemed to be holding a bag of gold, and took the semi-finished computer away from Zhou Shuo's hand. () There were also soldiers from a squad sent by the Xiucheng Military Division who walked with him, and the appearance of the loaded guns almost didn't startle Zhou Shuo, Qiu Jun and the others.
No way, according to 6 songs, from now on, the semi-finished computer is already confidential. Before leaving, he also specially told Zhou Shuo to make him think about the confidentiality of research materials in the Panhan Group.
Zhou Shuo delayed in the research institute for a while and learned more about the current project progress. However, he only looked at it and didn't say anything, and he never interfered with specific technical issues. After all, if you don't start from scratch, you will disrupt the project leader's thinking at this time.
Fortunately, Zhou Shuo used the reason of being an operating system to recruit Qiu Jun at the beginning, but he was not worried that he was not active in his work.
For the current Fanhan Group, the main focus is not on the SPARC architecture computer, nor on the promotion of MP3, let alone on the Fanhan Plaza or Bohai Heavy Industry.
Yes, the only focus of the Panhan Group at the moment is the resumption of production of lithography machine lines. For this task, the whole group is working hard to get up and running, and all projects have to give way.
The next day, Zhou Shuo was carrying a drawer of xiaolongbao that he had just bought on the road in the morning, and was stopped as soon as he arrived at the headquarters of Fanhan Group. The visitor had a beard almost ten centimeters long, and his head was even more messy. Obviously he is not that old, but there are two eye bags and dark circles under his eyes, and his face is a little unnaturally pale.
"Mr. Zhou, I can't do this job anymore......"
Ma Yougong hung his head. Some frustration, some relief. More of it was humiliating frustration.
"Don't worry, say something slowly. Have you had breakfast? Come with me for some xiaolongbao. The craftsmanship of Sister Ma's family in the Xiqiao Morning Market. It's been a long-established brand for more than ten years. ”
Zhou Shuo stuffed the xiaolongbao in his hand into Ma Yougong's hand, pulled him to the sand in the reception area and sat down. didn't get annoyed and complained, but said calmly: "Manager Ma, if you're too tired recently and want to take a vacation, I'll give you a week's time, is it enough?" If you can't do more, our lithography machine production line can't do without you. ”
"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the trust of the group and the country."
Ma Yougong was holding a fragrant xiaolongbao in his hand, but his tears couldn't stop flowing. Such a big man in his thirties and almost forty years old. Sitting in the lobby of the headquarters of Fanhan Group, he suddenly cried like a child.
"I did my best, and all our employees did their best......" Ma Yougong wiped his tears, sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "But even if there is a full set of technical information from the Japanese, the work of restoring the lithography machine production line is still difficult." These days, we don't have day and night, black and white, and we don't even have time to brush our teeth and wash our faces, so we just want the production line to resume production as soon as possible. ”
"Manager Ma, why do you ...... this" Zhou Shuo was stunned. It is certain that there is pressure in the position of Ma Yougong, but this is not his intention.
"Mr. Zhou, we all know that this production line determines the fate of the group!" Ma Yougong said with red eyes: "We have one day every night." The company will pay a penalty to INTE1, and our time is more precious than gold! If we can't start to fulfill the contract before ASML succeeds in researching, the company will go bankrupt directly under huge compensation! ”
"But that's it. We still can't master the Japanese lithography machine technology. There are some very important parameters that the Japanese should have left behind. We never got the hang of it. ”
"So far, we've thought of all the ways we can think of. However, the design accuracy of this line could not be achieved. ”
Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand, paused on his back, and landed lightly on Ma Yougong's shoulder.
"Lao Ma, I'll call you that. Like you, I actually have the soul of an engineer living in my heart. Listen to me, science and technology have always been the most ruthless and fair. The technological gap between us and the Japanese is so big that it cannot be solved in a moment, or by a few technical materials written in black and white. ”
"I'm responsible for the way you are. I put too much pressure on you to make it clear to you about the group's current plans, and this mistake lies with me. You are the most suitable person for the job in the group at the moment, and you must not lose confidence in yourself. Don't think about the problem of liquidated damages, once there is me and the group, the sky will not fall! ”
"From the day I took over the line from Nikon, I never thought we would be able to master it lightly. It doesn't matter whether the Japanese keep a hand or not, the point is that it has actually surpassed the highest industrial level in China at present. Objectively speaking, we can only say that we have mastered it too early, and we can only say that we have learned from it. Only when we have thoroughly learned, fully mastered, and formed a system and systematic thinking, our mission has just begun. ”
"Soon, ASML should be catching up with us. Maybe in another two or three years, Nikon will also regroup. At that time, it will be the time for the real competition between the three of us! You Ma Yougong will be the protagonist in the ring at that time, how can you lose confidence in yourself so early? You are now not alone, but the hope of the entire Chinese microelectronics industry. If you lose confidence, you will lose confidence in China's microelectronics industry! ”
Zhou Shuo's words fell on Ma Yougong's heart word by word, and finally rekindled hope in his eyes. The tremendous pressure of these days, and the constant frustration at work, have already pressed him to a critical point. What happened today is just a total explosion.
After Zhou Shuo's relief, Ma Yougong took a deep breath, nodded vigorously and said, "Mr. Zhou, I was wrong." I am not alone now, behind me stands you, stands the Pan Han Group, and stands the hope of the entire Chinese! ”
Ma Yougong stood up, bowed deeply to Zhou Shuo, who was more than ten years younger than him, and said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Zhou for your enlightenment, I'm sorry, I'm going back to work." ”
Zhou Shuo smiled, pressed him back into the sand, and pretended to be strict: "You can't leave now, I order you to finish eating the buns, and then go take a shower and sleep again, and finally you can go back to work!" ”
Seeing that Ma Yougong seemed to be solving calculus equations, concentrating on eating the xiaolongbao in one bite, Zhou Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Yougong's sudden collapse was not without effect in his heart. INTE1 certainly knew that Nikon had sold the production line and the contract to the Pan Han Group, and how could the Pan Han Group's international reputation and status in the industry be compared to Nikon? The issue of liquidated damages, which was previously strongly pressed down by Nikon, was also put back on Zhou Shuo's desk.
After a series of difficult negotiations, Pan Han Group was able to keep the contract at the cost of $50 million per month in liquidated damages. But as Ma Yougong said, inte1 can actually terminate this contract at any time on the grounds of breach of contract, and the reason why they choose to compromise is just betting on both ends.
If ASML had mastered the production technology of O.25 micron lithography machine earlier than Fanhan Group, the result would naturally be that INTE1 would exercise its contractual rights and Fanhan Group would compensate for sky-high liquidated damages. In the end, INTE1 took the liquidated damages and ASML to re-sign the supply contract for the lithography machine.
Behind the scenery, Fanhan Group is actually playing life and death.
And Ma Yougong, the main person in charge of the lithography machine production line, cast a shadow on this heartbeat game at this time. Zhou Shuo had to think about whether to use the hole cards that he had planted before.
Ma Yougong finished eating xiaolongbao, and Zhou Shuo had already arranged people. The group's public relations manager personally took him and drove a crown into the city.
Zhou Shuo's order to him was to find the best hotel in Xiucheng, supervise Ma Yougong to tidy up his personal hygiene, open a room for him to rest and sleep, and finally go back to work full of energy.
Seeing Ma Yougong go out honestly, Zhou Shuo beckoned, and the secretary Tang Ya trotted over.
"Book me a plane ticket, I'm going to Japan."
Zhou Shuo is going to Japan, of course, it is impossible to leave alone like he did two years ago. As soon as he gave the order, the group administration department would call the Japanese branch to inform them to book a hotel and prepare a car. In China, it is necessary not only to book air tickets, but also to arrange accompanying personnel, change clothes, and mobile phones to be used in Japan......
He smiled helplessly, sometimes thinking hypocritically, if you have money, you don't want to be free!
Although there is a lot of attention, the efficiency of the work of Pan Han Group is not slow. happened to book a ticket to fly to Japan once a week, and Zhou Shuo saved the trouble of taking a car to the provincial capital first.
Xiucheng's plane flew to the imperial capital first, waited for two and a half hours to change planes, and then flew directly to Tokyo, Japan.
In the morning, he was still in Xiucheng, and in the afternoon of this day, Zhou Shuo had already appeared in the long-lost Narita Airport. Wang Qinian, the personal bodyguard, followed him tightly with two suitcases, and saw the sign held high at the pick-up gate from a distance.
Tang Jun, the general manager of Japan, personally held a sign to greet Zhou Shuo, followed by four Japanese wearing suits and ties. Seeing two people coming over, the four Japanese were like dogs with bones, handing water, towels, and two people who were in charge of carrying luggage, not to mention the eagerness......
"Mr. Zhou, the car is ready, do you think you should go to the company or the hotel first?"
Four Japanese employees opened the road in front, and Tang Jun welcomed Zhou Shuo out of the airport, standing beside the car and asked cautiously.
Zhou Shuo stood in place and thought about it, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him, asking, "Do you know how to get to this place?" (To be continued!)
