After watching the test run of the lithography machine, Li Yunhai looked serious and calmly told everyone present: "Before the official release, no one can reveal the news!" This is our company's top secret. ”

Everyone knew the serious nature of the matter, and nodded solemnly in agreement.

Professor Ni invited Li Yunhai to his office.

"Mr. Li, we finally fulfilled our mission and successfully developed a lithography machine." Professor Ni took off his glasses, stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said in a stalk.

This is an ideal of conferring on professors.

The light of ideals that were once thought to be unattainable is now truly shining into reality.

No matter how excited he was, it was understandable.

After Professor Ni calmed down, Li Yunhai said: "Our purpose is to develop and produce chips with independent intellectual property rights. The lithography machine is only the first step, and the main task of the scientific research institute is to overcome the difficulties of the X64 chip! ”

Professor Ni wiped the lenses with the corner of his clothes, put them back on, and said, "Mr. Li, we have invited many high-tech talents from the United States, Germany, Japan and other countries. Our X64 chip, at the latest next year, will definitely have a major breakthrough! ”

Li Yunhai thought to himself that Intel will soon release the 586 chip, that is, the Pentium generation chip.

Chips are about to enter a period of rapid development.

If Sihai Group can't come up with blockbuster products in the past two years, it will be able to catch up with others in the future.

In addition, Li Yunhai has the most important move in his heart, that is, the development of game graphics cards.

With the rapid development of computer systems, audio-visual entertainment and computer games are about to become one of the most important functions on the PC.

Li Yunhai had far more things on his mind than Professor Ni and the others.

The two talked about some technologies related to lithography machines, and at the same time put forward some ideas of their own.

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

Professor Ni is also considering what to do next.

The current lithography machine uses excimer laser with no thermal effect, which is a pulsed laser with strong directionality, high wavelength purity and high output power, and the wavelength range of photon energy is 157 to 353 nanometers, which can continue to push the chip manufacturing process down.

But when Moore's Law moves forward, the current wavelengths of light waves will not be able to meet the demand.

Li Yunhai asked Professor Ni, at most in another ten years, the current wavelength of light wave is not enough, where is the next direction of the development of lithography machine?

This problem is too big for even Professor Ni to solve.

In fact, ten years later, this problem stumped scientists around the world.

It wasn't until an engineer in Taiwan proposed the immersion method that Moore's Law was broken and brought the dawn of the 21st century to the entire chip industry.

He proposed the use of water to lower the wavelength of light. Light will be refracted when it hits water, so if you add a thin layer of water with a thickness of one millimeter between the lens of the lithography machine and the wafer, and the refractive index of the water to the 193 nanometer laser is 1.44, then you can get light with a wavelength of about 134 (193/1.44) nanometers? Successfully bypassed the 157 nm wavelength problem.

Li Yunhai knows this story because it is so famous.

Anyone who has paid attention to the history of lithography has heard this story.

And the decline of Nikon is also related to this story.

Both Nikon and Canon felt that immersion was not the best approach, believing that their huge investment in a 157-nanometer wavelength lithography machine would be wasteful, and therefore opposed the development of an immersion lithography machine.

This is the most famous wet and dry battle in the history of lithography machines.

The results are known to everyone.

ASML, the only company to adhere to the immersion method, has succeeded and achieved remarkable results, gradually rising from a small factory to become an industry leader, leading the lithography machine market for decades to come. Companies such as Nikon and Canon, on the other hand, fell deeper and deeper, and finally regrettably missed out on the most important decades of the market.

Toyo manufacturing also came to an abrupt end at the same time.

Although Nikon later launched

Li Yunhai probably knows the future research direction, of course, he must lay out the layout in advance.

He explained to Professor Ni what he knew about the knowledge and assumptions.

Professor Ni listened with relish, and said that Mr. Li, your idea is really a stroke of genius, and this idea may really be able to be tried in the future, but it is not needed yet.

Li Yunhai also knows that it is not at that point now, and the process of the lithography machine is still hovering around 400 nanometers.

According to Moore's Law, it will take about a decade to reach the bottleneck of 193 nanometers.

Li Yunhai proposed that before that, we can do relevant research and development.

He also talked about the most important layout, that is, cooperation with important raw material suppliers.

Li Yunhai can now think of TRUMPF, which is a well-known German brand of CNC machine tools.

and Symb, a supplier of excimer light sources.

And above all there is Carl Zeiss AG, a German company that manufactures optical and optoelectronic devices.

These are all core technology companies, and Li Yunhai intends to tie Sihai Group and these important companies together through cooperation, shareholding, exclusive supply, and the establishment of scientific and technological institutions.

Li Yunhai doesn't want to lock anyone, but he doesn't want to be locked either.

Therefore, he must lay out in advance and make Sihai Group the most important part of the entire lithography machine industry.

However, these companies are all large enterprises, and if Li Yunhai wants to cooperate with them, he needs to improve his strength, and he must have sufficient funds, otherwise he will not even have a stepping stone.

At dinner in the evening, Li Yunhai, Professor Ni and others drank too much.

Lin Zhi was pregnant, her belly was getting bigger day by day, and she didn't dare to help him, so she called Li Yunfang and Shen Xiulan to help her into the house.

Li Yunhai's eyes were hazy, and he hugged Shen Xiulan and kissed him.

Shen Xiulan cried and shouted: "Lin Zhi, you take care of your man!" He kisses me! ”

Lin Zhi also saw it, and said with a smile: "On behalf of Yunhai, I apologize to you." He drank too much and recognized the wrong person, so don't mind. ”

Li Yunhai held Shen Xiulan's little face, and said with a smile: "I didn't recognize the wrong person, you are my wife Lin Zhi!" ”

said that he was going to kiss her again.

Shen Xiulan covered his mouth and said, "You recognize the wrong person, I'm Shen Xiulan, and your wife is over there!" ”

Lin Zhi and Li Yunfang both burst into laughter.

It was not easy to help Li Yunhai upstairs.

As soon as Li Yunhai lay down on the bed, he fell asleep.

Shen Xiulan helped him take off his shoes.

Li Yunfang fetched hot water and helped her brother wash his face and wipe his body.

After finishing her work, Shen Xiulan said goodbye and went home.

When she went to participate in the Canton Fair, she called her mother Fang Peihua over to take care of her son, plus her sister Shen Xiuling and Yang Xiaoying were at home, and Li Yanjin was well taken away.

When Shen Xiulan returned home, her son was already asleep.

She went to the bedroom and leaned over to kiss the baby.

Fang Peihua sighed and said, "Xiulan, you are so busy and busy, it's not a matter to be a father and a mother!" As your child grows up day by day, shouldn't your personal problems be solved? ”

Shen Xiulan helped her son tuck the corners of the quilt and said, "Mom, don't worry about my business." I know what is important, and I can handle it. ”

"It's not a question of whether you can handle it well. This is your life's work, and you can't afford to delay! You just listen to your mother's advice, and while you are young, quickly find a man to marry. ”

"I have a child, who wants to marry me?"

"Well, not necessarily. You have good conditions and the capital to negotiate. Let me tell you, some men don't care if you have children as long as they like you. ”

"He coveted me to be young and beautiful, and of course he didn't care if I had children or not. After three years and five years, will he still not care? How many stepfathers and stepmothers are good for drag oil bottles? Have you seen it? ”

"If you are afraid that your stepfather will treat Xiao Jin badly, just hand it over to me and your father to take with you, he is our own grandson, and we will definitely treat him well."

"That's not going to work, my son, I'm going to have to take it with me."

"Xiulan, we helped you find a man, who has not been married yet, but he is a little old, 30 years old, we told him about your situation, he said that he doesn't care if you have a son, and said that after being with you, you can not have any more children. Do you want to see him? ”

"Mom, why are you calculating my marriage all day long? I've been very busy lately and don't have time to go on a blind date. ”

"It's not a blind date, it's that you meet each other, be friends with each other, get along for a while, and develop if you can develop."

"Isn't that a waste of time? Where do I have the time and energy to fall in love now? Even if I go out on a date and watch a movie, I don't have time. If I have this time, I might as well play with my children! ”

"Xiulan, you can't think like that, you're still young, you're only 24 years old, you have to think about personal problems!"

"Say it again! Fate is coming, and it can't be stopped. Otherwise, it won't work for any of you to force me. ”

Fang Peihua had to shut up.

Now her voice in this family is getting weaker and weaker.

The eldest daughter has a good income, is the vice president of finance of Sihai Group, has a high salary and good benefits, and the family depends on her for relief. Whoever holds the economic power will have the right to speak.

In today's Shen family, Shen Xiulan is whatever she says, even Shen Guoming and his family dare not object.

In addition, because of their opposition before, Shen Xiulan missed such a good man as Li Yunhai, where did they still have the face to introduce Shen Xiulan to someone?

As long as they force it, Shen Xiulan will talk about Li Yunhai, saying that the man I fancy is so good, but I broke up because of you, which shows how bad your vision is! I have fallen to this point because I have listened to you, and you still want to mind my business? How far do you want to harm me?

This is Shen Xiulan's nuclear weapon!

Once the sacrifice came out, the Shen family was immediately silent.

The youngest daughter doesn't listen, Shen Xiuling is a college graduate, working as Li Yunhai's secretary in Sihai Group, the work is decent and easy, the salary is high, and she has the blessing of academic qualifications, avant-garde and open-minded, where can she listen to her parents?

Seeing that her two daughters were so promising, Fang Peihua was both happy and helpless.

There is only one sentence that she can comfort herself now: children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

Shen Xiulan said: "Mom, have you slept?" I'm tired from the day and it's time to rest. ”

Fang Peihua sighed: "Sleep!" I heard that your company has built a villa? When to divide the house? ”

Shen Xiulan said: "It should be soon, saying that it will enter the new house before the year." ”

Fang Peihua said: "When the time comes, you will live in the villa, can your father and I move here to live?" ”

Shen Xiulan said: "Mom, this house belongs to the company, and it is assigned to me to live in, and it is not a house I bought myself." Didn't Yunhai give you money? I asked her to give you the money, so take the money and buy a commercial house to live in! The old house was too old to go to the bathroom or take a shower, so you should have changed to a new house a long time ago. ”

Fang Peihua said: "With such a good house, why waste money to buy a house? You are familiar with Yunhai, you answer him, it is impossible for him not to live for us. ”

Shen Xiulan said: "I don't have the face to tell him, you want this house, you tell him." ”

Fang Peihua said angrily: "Okay, I'll talk to him!" I'll go to your company tomorrow to find him! ”

Shen Xiulan was so tired that she fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, at the headquarters of Sihai Group, everyone turned on the busy mode.

This time, there were more orders won at the Canton Fair, and all departments had to be busy.

As soon as Li Yunhai sat down to work, he received a call from Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin said that he was out of confinement, he was very bored, and wanted Li Yunhai to arrange work.

Li Yunhai said what are you anxious about? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's talk about it after the New Year!

Zhu Lin is only in November now, and it is still early before the Chinese New Year!

Li Yunhai said, your task now is to take care of the child well, don't think about the rest.

Zhu Lin said that if I stay idle all day long, people will be abolished and disconnected from society. If you can't arrange a job, then I'll still go back to Beijin.

Li Yunhai said that I will go to see you at night and discuss it then.

Zhu Lin said okay, I'll be waiting for you that night!

Li Yunhai said okay.

Before he could put the microphone down, another phone rang again.

Li Yunhai grabbed the microphone and heard a deep and steady voice coming.

"Hey, is it Mr. Li from Sihai Group?"

"I'm Li Yunhai, may I ask who you are?"

"Mr. Li, I'm Huang Ying from the Municipal Bureau!"

"Leader Huang, is there anything wrong?"

"Mr. Li, there is such a thing to inform you that Compaq Company has decided to invest in our city, and the plant will be built in the spring of next year, and it will be officially put into operation the year after tomorrow."

"Oh, that's a good thing. Congratulations on the success of investment promotion in Xizhou. ”

"Oh, yes! This is indeed a great thing. Mr. Li, we have negotiated with Compaq, we will no longer set the point of procurement units in the future, fair competition between you, we do this, it is equivalent to making a huge concession for your group! ”

Li Yunhai thought to himself, isn't this a basic operation? How to make concessions for our group? Aren't you stunned by what I said? As soon as I mentioned the relocation, you immediately coaxed it!

However, Huang Ying can make this call in person, and Li Yunhai still has to appreciate it.

"Thank you, Leader Huang." Li Yunhai said, "I'll invite you to drink another day." ”

Huang Ying said: "Eating and drinking are exempt!" Mr. Li, there is something I want to ask you for. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Leader Huang is serious, what do you have that you need to use us?" But please attach it. ”

Huang Ying said: "There are a few factories in your industrial park, and they originally promised to move to the new economic development zone, but recently they changed their words, saying that Sihai Group threatened them to stop cooperating, so they won't relocate anymore?" What's going on? ”

Li Yunhai was stunned, because he had just come back and had never heard of it at all.

Huang Ying said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, your industrial park and the economic development zone are both industrial parks in our city, and the two places are not far apart, enterprises can go wherever they want, this is their freedom, how can you threaten them with the termination of the cooperative relationship?" The establishment of the Economic Development Zone is in response to the call of the country, and it is also imperative, and no one can stop the general trend of history! No matter how powerful Sihai Group is, it will not want to destroy the construction plan of the Economic Development Zone with its own strength! ”

Li Yunhai was shocked when he heard it!

It turned out that Huang Ying made this call, and the purpose was here!

The previous words were just foreshadowing.

Huang Ying buckled a big hat on Li Yunhai's head!

A big hat that I can't afford to bear!

Li Yunhai coughed lightly and said, "Leader Huang, you also know that I only came back from participating in the Canton Fair yesterday, and I don't know anything about the situation you said. All I know is that I have never threatened the companies you mentioned. I don't need to threaten them either. They did come to me before to ask for my opinion. I'm very clear, I come and go freely, and I've promised that I won't break off the partnership. The previous contract continues to be in effect. I don't know where Leader Huang heard the gossip from? ”

Huang Ying was surprised when he saw that he was so sure, and said, "Those business bosses personally found me to talk." Can there be any fakes? ”

Li Yunhai said: "I don't know if there was any misunderstanding in the middle? Why don't you ask Leader Huang to ask again? We, Sihai Group, have no intention or ability to sabotage the establishment and construction of the Economic Development Zone. ”

There was a knock on the door.

Li Yunhai said into the microphone: "Leader Huang, I still have things to deal with here, goodbye." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone and shouted, "Come in!" ”

Su Hong pushed the door in and said, "Mr. Li, there are a few people from Shuchuan who want to see you." ”

"Someone from Shuchuan? Is there something wrong with them? ”

"I said that there was something very important, and I had to see you."

"They didn't say what it was?"

"Say I must see you, or do I say that human life is a matter of heaven."

"Oh? You invite them in. ”

Su Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, I see that they are a little excited, do you want to arrange bodyguards in the room?" ”

Li Yunhai was stunned: "Is it so serious?" Then look at the arrangement! By the way, you can ask the secretary at home, has anyone come to me in the industrial park recently? Or was there anything left behind? ”

Su Hong said: "Okay, Mr. Li." ”

She turned to leave, and after a while, she called Zhuang Yong, Shi Shi, and Liang Tian in.

Li Yunhai asked Zhuang Yong and them to sit on the sofa.

After another two minutes, Su Hong invited a few people in.

Li Yunhai looked at the people who came, they were dressed plainly, and they looked like ordinary people, but they were better dressed than ordinary peasants, and their families should be not bad.

Before he could speak, the men knelt down at his desk with a thud as soon as they entered, their knees hitting the ground with a dull thud. (End of chapter)
