At this time, the brand value of Wujiang Group has skyrocketed.

The Pangu supercomputer is favored around the world, and many countries have consulted and purchased the Pangu series of supercomputers from the Borderless Group for simulating nuclear tests, climate simulations and weather forecasts, simulating earthquakes, oil exploration, drug research and development, and more.

Even the Shenzhou computer series was affected, and sales skyrocketed.

A month later.

"The order for the Pangu supercomputer has reached 25 units!"

"The sales volume of Shenzhou Computer exceeded 2 million units this month!"

"In addition, the performance of other products of Wujiang Group has increased by at least 15%!"

Liu Yinyin walked into Zhao Ye's office with a document and introduced.

"The Pangu supercomputer is equipped with 14,000 self-developed Kirin Pentium CPU processors, using a 32-bit HarmonyOS instruction system, with a peak performance of 120 million petabytes per second, sustained performance of 100 million petabytes per second, and a core operating frequency of 1.5GHz. A Pangu supercomputer alone costs as much as $100 million. ”

"At present, the Pangu supercomputer is sold for $300 million, but it is still in short supply. We are temporarily restricting the flow of Pangu supercomputers into the U.S. and only selling them to companies outside the U.S., unless the U.S. is willing to lift restrictions and blockades on the Borderless Group. ”

Zhao Ye nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

He is very satisfied with the company's recent performance, and the computer brand of the Borderless Group has been recognized all over the world, and the sales of computer brands such as IBM, Apple, and Dell have declined.

The U.S. tech community has been hit hard.

Liu Yinyin said: "There is news from Shuguang Lithography Machine Company that the research and development of immersion lithography machine has made breakthroughs, and it is not surprising that samples will be available in a month!" ”

Sugon Lithography Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd., mainly engaged in the research and development of lithography machines.

Since 1988, Dawning Lithography Company has been developing immersion lithography machines, and it has been six years since then.

Now I can finally keep the clouds open and see the moon!

At this moment, Zhao Ye couldn't help but show surprise on his face when he heard Liu Yinyin's words.

As soon as the immersion lithography machine comes out, who will compete?

The company's chip manufacturing process will be exponentially increased, and it will be able to produce more advanced chips.

Zhao Ye couldn't help but pat the armrest of the chair at this time, and said excitedly: "Great, the emergence of the immersion dawn lithography machine will definitely be a sharp weapon for the Wujiang Group to break the blockade of the American market!! ”

The United States restricts the entry of Borderless Group's products into the American market, which brings great losses to Borderless Group.

Zhao Ye doesn't believe that the United States will also restrict the Dawning lithography machine and top chips of the Wujiang Group!

As we all know, chips are the core driving force of scientific and technological progress, known as the "crown jewel" of modern science and technology, which can make mobile phones, computers and all intelligent electronic devices more intelligent, and is the core weapon to help any country become a strong country in science and technology!

Liu Yinyin asked: "Boss, you had a plan before, when the immersion lithography machine is invented, you will promote the listing of ASML in the Netherlands. You see, is the plan being implemented right now? ”

"Well, do it right away!!" Zhao Ye nodded.

After Wujiang Microelectronics has the dawning lithography machine, the United States will be eager to support the rise of a lithography machine company, and in the lithography machine market, only ASML ASML and Japan's Canon and Nikon are worthy of support.

Obviously, Japan's Canon or Nikon are significantly more powerful than ASML, and if the United States props up these two companies, it will be more difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Zhao Ye still hopes that the United States can support ASML.

Coupled with the fact that Borderless Group holds a stake in ASML, it can profit from it.

Now, as long as ASML is promoted to go public, Wujiang Group can cash out, or cross-sharehold, and reduce its stake in ASML on the surface, so that American capital can enter ASML in a big way.

"Okay, I'll immediately notify the executives of Philips and ASML to start the IPO plan!"

"Well, there you go."

The IPO process is numerous and generally takes about a year or more.

When the time comes, just let the management and Philips be in charge of the IPO, and it would be better for the Borderless Group to appear in ASML less.

After Zhao Ye instructed Liu Yinyin, he then went to Shuguang Lithography Machine Company to inspect the development of immersion lithography machines.

Lin Benjian learned that Zhao Ye had come to the Dawning Lithography Machine Company, and before he had time to change his clothes, he walked out of the laboratory wearing a white protective suit.

"Mr. Lin, I heard from the secretary that a breakthrough has been made in the development of immersion lithography machine?" Zhao Ye asked.

"Yes, Dong Zhao!" Lin Benjian nodded, his face filled with the joy of success.

Immediately, Lin Benjian began to introduce Zhao Ye to what techniques had been conquered.

"The core of a lithography machine consists of a light source system, an objective lens system, and a workbench."

"Among them, the most difficult is also in the objective lens system, the immersion lithography machine needs to add 1mm thick water above the wafer photoresist, and then the 193nm light wave refracted in the water will become a 134nm light wave, so the objective lens system will be very different from the ordinary lithography machine."

"Objective lenses are one of the most expensive and complex components, covering the most cutting-edge technologies in many disciplines such as optics, mechanics, computers, electronics, etc. The structural design is extremely difficult, requiring control of the objective wave aberration as well as full control of the polarization aberration of the objective lens system. ”

"ZEISS has been actively cooperating with us, and in the end, both parties have worked together to develop the objective lens system successfully!!

Although a day or two has passed since the successful development of the objective lens system, Lin Benjian's face still can't hide his excitement.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but sigh a little, fortunately, he gave Zeiss strong support and supported them to spare no expense in research and development, so they were able to make a great technological breakthrough in 1994.

Even if other companies want to develop immersion lithography machines, they may not be able to buy lenses, so they will not be able to develop immersion lithography machines, which should have been the case until at least 2000.

Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. will be in the leading position in technology for a long time, and the global chip foundry business will beat TSMC, Intel and ......

"Let's go, take us to the lab!" Zhao Ye said curiously, wanting to see what the objective lens system looked like.

"Okay, Dong Zhao, please come with me. Since the laboratory is a dust-proof laboratory, you need to change into protective clothing before entering. ”

……

At this time, Liu Yinyin contacted the executives of Philips and ASML to convey Zhao Ye's meaning.

"In order to accelerate the development of ASML and raise funds to accelerate the research and development of lithography machines, Wujiang Group has decided to launch ASML's IPO plan!" Liu Yinyin said.

Philips representatives and ASML executives were overjoyed when they heard this.

They have long wanted ASML to go public, and only by going public and raising funds can Philips cash out, executives can also make a lot of money through IPOs, and ASML also has money to speed up the development of a new generation of lithography machines.

In short, everyone is happy.

"No problem, we, Philips, as a major shareholder, will strongly support ASML's listing !!" Philips' company representative swore an oath.

Both Wujiang and Philips agreed that ASML's IPO plan was a foregone conclusion.

"In order to help ASML successfully list on the NASDAQ, I believe that Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase should be invited to act as IPO underwriters to help ASML IPO," Liu said. ”

"Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are the most powerful brokerages in the United States."

"They helped ASML go public, the success rate is very high, and it can also increase the stock price."

"Wujiang Group and Philips are the two major shareholders behind ASML, and once the IPO process is launched, it will definitely make a lot of money, and it is expected that Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase will of course be very happy to accept this cooperation!"

After Liu Yinyin finished speaking, everyone had no objections.

This is already the best option.

……

A week later, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase agreed to act as IPO underwriters for ASML.

With Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, ASML's IPO process should be smooth sailing.

Thinking about it, the United States is also eager to snatch ASML's shares from the Wujiang Group, and finally strive to seize control of ASML.

Li Aojun walked into Zhao Ye's office with a stack of materials at this time.

"This is the information you need, and we have investigated all the investments made by companies around the world in dry lithography machines and related industries."

"Okay, put it on my desk, I'll see."

Zhao Ye hadn't finished reading the documents in his hand, so he nodded to Li Aojun.

"Hmm."

After a while, Zhao Ye finished reading the previous documents and wrote some opinions, and then picked up the information that Li Aojun brought and looked at it.

After a while, Zhao Ye sighed: "In my previous life, no wonder some people said that Lin Benjian was standing in front of an aircraft carrier that was sailing fast, and wanted to stop it. That's not wrong at all! ”

After reading this information, Zhao Ye knew that hundreds of companies around the world were engaged in research related to dry lithography machines, and Canon Japan alone had invested 2.5 billion US dollars, and if you count the R&D investment of other companies, it would be about 15 billion US dollars!

"Lin Benjian insists on promoting immersion lithography machines, and those companies that study dry lithography machines, isn't their investment in waste? No wonder few companies were willing to support him in his previous life, and even some companies wanted to kill Lin Benjian. Zhao Ye sighed, this life is no exception, everyone is swarming towards the field of dry lithography machine research, all of them have fallen into a dead end, so that ten years have passed, and the chip manufacturing process has not changed much.

"Boundless Microelectronics should keep a low profile, shoot quietly, and not let them find out."

Zhao Ye smiled evilly, "It's a futile effort to let companies such as Canon and Nikon continue to do futile research." ”

Low-key is king, and you can hide it for as long as you can.

The longer the time, the more beneficial it will be to Wujiang Group, so that Wujiang Group will have a longer technological monopoly advantage in the field of semiconductor chips.

……

A month later, the immersion lithography machine was finally developed.

The lab erupted in loud cheers.

Lin Benjian called Zhao Ye as soon as possible to inform him of the good news.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he immediately came to the Dawning Lithography Machine Company.

At this time, Zhang Rujing, CEO of Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd., and other executives, such as Ni Guangnan and other academicians, all came to Shuguang Lithography Machine Company one step ahead of Zhao Ye. Because these two companies are neighbors, Zhang Rujing and others came earlier than Zhao Ye.

When Zhao Ye walked into the company, he saw everyone hugging each other to celebrate, and many people even cried with joy and shed tears of excitement.

The research on immersion lithography machines took a long time, persisting for six years, and now it has come to fruition.

Zhao Ye is also a scientific researcher, and he can empathize with their feelings.

"Hello everyone, congratulations on the successful development of the immersion lithography machine, which has enabled China's backward semiconductor industry to have the ability to overtake in corners!!"

Bang Bang Bang !!!!

Everyone applauded, proud and proud.

From today onwards, we dare to say "no" to the West; From today, the semiconductor industry in the Western world will lag behind China!

In terms of chip manufacturing process, only China dominates!!

At this time, Zhang Rujing, Ni Guangnan, Lin Benjian and others walked in front of Zhao Ye one after another, and everyone couldn't stop smiling.

"Mr. Lin, you have worked hard, you have persisted in obscurity for six years, you can rest assured, the company will not treat you badly, not only will give bonuses to every researcher, but also Shuguang Lithography Machine Company will also start the virtual equity incentive system, so that employees can obtain economic benefits similar to holding actual shares in the virtual equity plan!!"

After speaking, he said to Zhang Rujing, Ni Guangnan and others, "The same is true for Wujiang Microelectronics Company, and the virtual equity incentive system will also be launched." The company is not only my own company, but also everyone's company, and I am very willing to share the dividends obtained from the rapid development of the company with all employees. ”

Zhao Ye launched the virtual equity incentive system, learning from Huawei, to improve the enthusiasm and creativity of employees.

The number and price of shares in the virtual equity plan are related to the actual stock market, which is indicative and effective. After the planned distribution of shares, employees can earn by selling the shares or by waiting until the exercise date to exercise the shares at a higher price.

The virtual equity incentive plan formulated by Zhao Ye is very flexible and meticulous, not only formulating a special virtual equity plan for the company's senior management and R&D team, but also providing corresponding incentive plans for other employees.

Companies are getting bigger and bigger, and if you want to retain talent, you can't be stingy.

If you want to increase the motivation and creativity of your employees, you also need to be motivated.

Wujiang Group is very rich now, and Zhao Ye no longer has any need to enjoy all profits for himself.

Lin Benjian, Zhang Rujing, Ni Guangnan and others couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when they heard this.

The surrounding employees were already shouting excitedly.

"Thank you Dong Zhao!"

"Zhao Dong is atmospheric!"

"Long live Zhao Dong!"

Zhao Ye smiled and said to the employees around him: "Everyone work hard, make persistent efforts, and create brilliance!" Immersion lithography is just one step ahead, and we need to develop more advanced lithography machines, such as EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machines!! ”

"No problem! There's nothing we can't solve! It's a big deal to insist on it silently for another 10 or 20 years! The employees expressed their ambition.
