Chapter 100: The Myth of Western Science and Technology Shattered

The first impression of Western netizens is that they don't believe it.

No way!

Fake news.

Western keyboard warriors have said:

"Chinese people, it will never be possible to build an EUV lithography machine!"

"A lively commercial fraud activity, it seems that there are many Chinese people who have been fooled."

"I bet the scam company managed to get a lot of money."

"Monkeys also want to build lithography machines, in 100,000 years."

"It's impossible for our technology to be surpassed by a bunch of crooks and thieves who are frantically stealing our technology and are now eyeing EUV."

Of course, there are a few more rational voices:

"I admit that the Chinese people are very smart and diligent, and they have a lot of talented engineers, but the EUV lithography machine, they still have at least ten years, and the West's 300-year technological lead cannot be surpassed so easily."

"I watched the video of the press conference, and all the technical details were correct, but I was still skeptical that they had created EUV."

"If what is said in the video is true, then we are really going to be finished, we will return to low-end manual labor, and our next generation will have to start learning Chinese."

"I said 10,000 times in my heart that it couldn't be, but there was also a voice that said, it could be true, that our nightmare was coming."

"Whether it's true or not, the Chinese are developing EUV at any cost, they will succeed sooner or later, our days of high wages and high benefits are coming to an end soon, we may work for the Chinese people in the future, accept their leadership and handouts, oh my God, what a terrible hell and nightmare."

"We can't win, they can work 12 hours a day, six days a week, they are smarter than us, they plundered everything with hard work, this is more terrible than violent robbery, we will soon become as poor as Africans, no, Africa has a lot of resources, we will be poorer than Africa."

……

Lotus blue.

ASM, Headquarters.

High-level strategy room.

An emergency meeting is underway.

The video on the LCD screen wall is played.

All the executives and executive shareholders fell into silence and did not speak for a long time.

"What do you think, gentlemen?"

CEO Peter Wyn Link, a white man with sunken eyes and a full head of white hair, standing on a table with fists in his palms and elbows, asked.

"Fake news."

A Mi shareholder took the lead in speaking: "It's definitely false news, the Chinese people are very good at playing this set, true and false, just to mess up our position and achieve the purpose of letting us lift the ban on lithography machines, and their inferior tricks have been seen through by me." ”

"Mr. Hosius."

Vice President Norwin Fred, had to say to the shareholder of the United States: "We are all highly educated people, some words can deceive ordinary people, but not ourselves, can you say something about your true thoughts, instead of subconsciously denying." ”

"That's what I really think, there's no way they can make EUV!"

Hosius said, patting the table.

"What if they actually made it?"

Peter Wyn Link looked at him and asked: "Just like in the video, their products are more advanced, the lithography power is higher, one more than two of us, making our products uncompetitive and on the verge of being eliminated." ”

"I said it couldn't be!"

Hosius slammed the table hard, falling into a frenzy: "EUV is the representative of the most advanced technology in all developed countries, and if you give the Chinese people another 10 or 20 years, they will not be able to win EUV, and that press conference is 100% fake!" This is a judgment based on common sense. ”

"I sent someone to get a piece of wafer fragments that flowed out of that press conference, and let people inspect it, and it was clearer than the first image of our EUV."

Peter Wyn Link introduced: "In addition, just a few hours ago, Longyao Company announced that it had successfully purchased the first Tyrannosaurus EUV at a price of 4.5 billion, and now Longyao Company is highly motivated, and it is expected to resurrect the first high-end 5G mobile phone by the end of this year." ”

"Do you think this related news is also fake news?"

Silent.

There was quite a long silence again, like a mountain pressed down from the bottom of my heart.

"Whether it's true or not, let's make a request to that black hole technology company."

Vice President Norwen said: "If they agree quickly, it means that their lithography machine must be fake, and we can give up the acquisition; If they refuse, they can increase the price to 10 billion meters, and if they still refuse, it is very likely to be true. ”

"In addition, if there is a relationship between our parts suppliers, some of them have sold parts to Black Hole Technologies, and if there is a partnership, we ask to stop immediately! You can't let a high-precision part run into their hands, so that they can only save up one EUV at most. ”

"What if the offer of 10 billion meters of knife is accepted by the other party?" Another shareholder asked.

"It's better to accept it, we can send someone to visit their factory and see how they solved the light source problem, how they polished the lenses to 82% reflectivity, and how did the fury mode come to be...... These are very good ideas, the genius engineers of Black Hole Technology Company, excellent workers, can contact them privately, drive better treatment, give them Western nationality, let them live in big villas, and drive luxury cars. ”

"As long as all the talents are poached, they can discuss whether they are acquired or not, and we don't need to waste 10 billion meters."

Norwen said.

"That's a good idea."

"The land of the free is still very attractive to them."

"I don't really want them to come to our country, but they are all talents and can give them a chance to show their talents."

"Why are our young people so wasted, I've seen enough of the faces of those Chinese engineers in the factory, and this time there will be a large number of them, can't we live without them?" The executive tugged at his hair in frustration.

Ay~

White executives and shareholders sighed.

The only thing they can do is seem to have a system of freedom and pearls.

……

Within a day, Wei Ming received multiple phone calls.

"1 billion meters knife to buy our company? I don't care about you! ”

"Increase the price to 10 billion? Don't sell! Let them stop calling, even a trillion meters of knives will not be sold. ”

"I heard that many headhunting agencies have begun to poach people from our company frantically, including you Dr. Pu, everyone has become the target of poaching, hahahaha......"

Wei Ming raised his head and laughed: "Dr. Pu, they offer a salary of 100 million yuan per year, which is ten times higher than the treatment I give, Dr. Pu, do you think you will leave?" ”

"I don't leave until I'm sick in the head."

Pu Weicai shook his head: "All the core parts are polished by Mr. Wei and your god level before they can be used, we can go to the top with another person, unless we poach Mr. Wei, our lithography machine factory will be completely finished, can they poach Mr. Wei?" ”

"Hahaha~"

Wei Ming laughed heartily: "If there is that idiot in the factory who really wants to jump ship, let him jump, enter the blacklist, and never welcome him back." ”

"There is no such stupid Mr. Wei."

Pu Weicai said: "Now everyone is trying to make a few more Tyrannosaurus EUVs, waiting for the promise of Mr. Wei, the year-end bonus equivalent to 30% of the profit, we wish there were so many idiots to jump ship, not to mention improving the average IQ in the factory, we also have a little more bonus." ”

"That's good."

Wei Ming smiled and nodded.

……

The initiation of the acquisition failed.

Poaching failed.

The parts embargo also failed...... The second and third Tyrannosaurus EUVs of Black Hole Technology are said to have started production, but they have not made a request to purchase parts from an overseas parts supplier.

Ashman's top brass finally panicked.
