European and American countries were very surprised and shocked by the explosion of Wujiang Group, and it was difficult to endure the bloodbath of Wujiang Group's products.

However, it was very helpless.

People rely on technology to win, and they can't let others have a technology monopoly just because other people's chip technology is powerful.

However, they can only make such excuses.

Generally speaking, technology monopolies are also monopolies, but on a case-by-case basis, some technological monopolies may not be considered illegal.

According to the temperament of Europe and the United States, of course, it is necessary to use "well-known double standards".

My technological monopoly is not a monopoly, your technological monopoly is a real monopoly and must be punished.

In July, Country M took the lead in conducting an anti-monopoly investigation on Wujiang Group, pointing out that Wujiang Group has achieved substantial monopoly on many of its products by virtue of its leading edge in chip technology!

Good guys, it's a lawsuit!

There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. Wujiang Group is not afraid, so it will send its own company's legal team to fight a lawsuit. As we all know, it is normal for a lawsuit to be fought for a few years, and it may even end up in the end.

Even if you lose the lawsuit, it's just a big deal to be fined a little money.

Zhao Ye was used to it and didn't feel a headache for these things.

In fact, the authorities of country M also know that it is impossible to defeat the Wujiang group by relying on lawsuits alone. At the end of the day, it's about developing your own technology.

The core of competition in the technology industry is the chip, and the core of the chip is the lithography machine.

Therefore, the authorities of country M have once again increased their R&D investment in the field of dry lithography machines.

There are more than 100,000 parts in the highest-end EUV lithography machine, and although the dry lithography machine in the 90s did not have so many parts, there are still 60,000 or 70,000 parts.

The essence of ASML is actually an assembly plant for lithography machines, but the technical requirements are relatively high.

Therefore, if country M supports the development of the lithography machine industry, it needs to help all lithography machine parts manufacturers.

The amount of money invested is not a few.

On the morning of July 25, country M took out a special fund of 10 billion US dollars to support the development of the lithography machine industry.

Unfortunately, the research is still on dry lithography machines.

This money is basically wasted, which is actually nothing, and the most important thing is to delay the development of lithography machines. By the time the next generation of lithography has been developed, the dry lithography machine may still be spinning in the same place......

Perhaps, the gap between the two sides will only widen.

And this is exactly what Zhao Ye wants to see.

At this moment, when it was learned that country M had introduced a lithography machine support policy, the equipment manufacturers in the European and American lithography machine industry chain were immediately excited.

"The support policy of country M is too timely, we finally have the funds to continue research, and after the successful development of new parts, we will definitely be able to make a huge breakthrough!"

"Dry lithography machine breakthrough is expected to !!"

“……”

Since Wujiang Microelectronics has produced more advanced chips, the lithography machine industry chain in Europe, the United States and Japan has suffered a heavy blow, which is a catastrophic blow.

Sales of ASML, Nikon, and Canon's lithography machines were almost unsalable.

The upstream lithography machine is unsalable, and the downstream parts manufacturers can be better?

If country M hadn't come forward now to support them, the manufacturers of these lithography machine industry chains would probably have gone bankrupt.

TSMC was about to cry excitedly.

The company is probably most interested in a breakthrough in dry lithography technology.

At present, the competitor Wujiang Microelectronics has pressed TSMC to the ground and rubbed it hard, almost the kind of adults beating children, so that TSMC has no power to fight back.

In the field of chip foundry, TSMC only has a pitiful 3.5% market share.

It is not wrong to say that TSMC is now struggling to catch its breath.

TSMC's sluggish performance has also affected other semiconductor companies in Baodao, such as ASE Group, which specializes in chip packaging and testing.

The semiconductor industry across the island has been hit hard.

This is not something that can be solved by policy support, if the technology does not work, it will not work, Western countries may be willing to sell advanced lithography machines to TSMC, but how can Wujiang Microelectronics sell Shuguang lithography machines to their competitors.

If the chip foundry business of Baodao cannot be done, I am afraid that the economy of Baodao, which is developing rapidly, will slow down immediately.

The time has come for the island's economy to be surpassed by a random province on the mainland......

……

In terms of time, after about a month, following country M, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and some European countries have launched similar investigations against Wujiang Group, and the speed is really fast!

As the saying goes, "if there are more lice, you won't itch, and if you have more debts, you won't worry", a lawsuit with country M is a fight, and a lawsuit with other countries is also a fight, all together.

Wujiang Group is to rely on its technological advantages to crush other products, and consumers will make wise choices.

In the second half of 1996, Wujiang Group was riddled with lawsuits, but this did not prevent Wujiang Group's products from selling well and sweeping the world.

As long as there is no ban on the products of the Borderless Group, it will not prevent the Borderless Group from making a lot of money.

In fact, there is no way to prohibit it.

Not to mention country M, taking Europe alone, not all European countries are hostile to the Borderless Group.

Not to mention country M, taking Europe alone, not all European countries are hostile to the Borderless Group.

If you don't cooperate with the Borderless Group, there will naturally be other countries willing to cooperate with the Borderless Group, such as buying the Pangu supercomputer, the Nuwa server, the "Kirin Pentium 4" chip, and so on......

These things can help their own country and improve the level of scientific research and technology.

Moreover, for many European countries, these products cannot be produced in the first place, and the products originally purchased are either M domestic products or Japanese products, and the prices are still expensive.

Whoever buys is not buying, so why don't I buy Wujiang Group?

Therefore, despite the great hostility of foreign countries towards the Wujiang Group, they have no choice but to buy the products of the Wujiang Group.

Due to the big sales of the products, this year, the brand awareness of Wujiang Group could not help but soar again.

Today, almost everyone in the world knows about the Borderless Group.

You don't know who the president of country M is, but it's impossible that you haven't heard of the Wujiang Group, and it's impossible not to know the name of Zhao Ye, the richest man in the world.

In October 1996, the annual revenue of Wujiang Group exceeded $400 billion, leaving India's GDP far behind.

China's economy has skyrocketed again with the rise of the Borderless Group.

The world's major capitals are also more optimistic about China's development.

In the first nine months of this year alone, according to incomplete statistics, more than 120 billion US dollars of foreign capital was invested in the Chinese market, involving all walks of life, mainly involving real estate, industrial manufacturing, Internet, finance, energy, steel, medicine, food processing, foreign trade and so on......

It's the 90s of the 20th century, and it's terrifying!

These foreign investments have been of great help to China's great rejuvenation.

In fact, not only the capital, but also many foreign companies have brought technology to China.

Anyone who sees China's huge market of 1.4 billion yuan will be tempted.

The better China's economy is, the higher people's incomes will be, which is a huge benefit for Wujiang Group. The products of Wujiang Group are actually a little expensive, after all, they are high-tech products, and if the income of Chinese is not high, then it is difficult to consume.

At present, the average monthly income of Chinese has exceeded 800 yuan. If it weren't for the huge population in rural areas, the average monthly income of Chinese would easily exceed 1,000.

After all, China's revival has been a bit short, and there are still many people in rural areas who work at home and have little total income all year round.

And working in a big city, the monthly salary is at least 1,000 yuan.

However, with the great development of cities such as "Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou", a huge "tide of migrant workers" has been formed, and more and more rural people choose to work in big cities.

The term "migrant worker" has appeared frequently in newspapers and online news.

When peasants go out to work, many fields will be wasted.

The problem of Chinese eating urgently needs to be solved.

In this life, the number of migrant workers can be much more than in previous lives, so China's total grain output is not as good as in the previous life, only 45,000 tons, which cannot meet the food needs of Chinese people, and needs to import a large amount of foreign grain.

To put it simply, in 2022, the country's total grain output will be 68,700 tons, but 14,700 tons of grain will still be imported.

It cannot be ruled out that there will be extravagance and waste of food in 2022, but it can still be seen that China is still very short of food.

Recently, China has introduced a lot of policies to strengthen agriculture and benefit farmers and rich peasants, on the one hand, the country has money, and has begun to subsidize farmers; On the other hand, of course, it is for the development of agricultural technologies and the increase of food production.

Compared with foreign countries, China's agriculture is indeed somewhat backward.

On the agricultural technology track, there are almost few companies in China.

In 2017, in order to improve China's agricultural science and technology, ChemChina acquired [Syngenta Group] for a huge sum of $43 billion, which was the largest overseas acquisition by a Chinese company at that time.

However, it can be seen that China attaches great importance to food.

As the saying goes, "the people take food as the sky", and only when the people have enough to eat, will the country be stable.

Li Aojun's uncle Xiao Yuliang, a senior official in a certain ministry of national agricultural development, recently contacted Zhao Ye, hoping that Wujiang Group would come forward and use the power of capital to drive the development of China's agricultural science and technology!

Xiao Yuliang's idea is very simple, Wujiang Group has unlimited scenery this year, and it has made a lot of money, since it is so rich, it is better to invest in agricultural science and technology.

In recent years, in order to speed up China's modernization and industrialization, the state has encouraged farmers to go out to work, but there has not been much progress in agricultural technology, resulting in a decrease in total grain production.

Although the state has the money to import grain, it is not enough to insure.

What if you can't buy food?

Chinese pay attention to self-production and self-sufficiency, and are accustomed to planning ahead.

The most urgent task at the moment is to improve agricultural technology in order to increase food production.

Zhao Ye didn't pay much attention to the food problem and agricultural technology before, and his main energy was still on the development of electronics and semiconductor technology.

Of course, the food issue is indeed a big issue, and it is related to the people's livelihood.

In the evening, Zhao Ye and his uncle Xiao Yuliang were talking on the phone.

Zhao Ye made it clear to the other party that Wujiang Group could enter the agricultural field.

Wujiang Group is fully capable of making a career in agricultural machinery, feed, fertilizer, pesticides, improved seed breeding, greenhouses, etc.

Of course, entering the agricultural field is not contradictory to the strategic development of Wujiang Group, which itself has a food processing company and runs a supermarket itself.

Rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., if Wujiang Group can provide its own brand, the profit will definitely be higher.

In addition, it can also avoid the danger of being controlled by foreign capital in domestic grain and oil.

Zhao Ye has not seen it, in his previous life, 70% of the domestic edible oil market was controlled by foreign capital.

Even seeds are extremely dependent on imports, if the chip is stuck in the neck, it is a big deal not to use, but if the seed is also stuck in the neck, this will seriously threaten the people's food and clothing problem, is this more worrying?
