Start with buying a house

Chapter 193 Tears streaming down my face with excitement (Please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly pass!)
Starlight Technology's engineers, technology R&D personnel, and management personnel did not disappoint Ouyang Dehe, the investor, in the end. With his crazy investment of a large amount of money, Starlight Technology was able to reach the target on December 45, [-]. On the same day, a photolithography machine prototype that conforms to the [-]nm process technology was made.

With the successful development of the photolithography machine, the first chip of the 45-nanometer process was successfully produced.

When it was announced that the first diffuse lithography machine with 45nm process technology and the first chip with 45nm process technology developed by Starlight Technology Co., Ltd. were successfully developed, the entire Starlight Technology Company was boiling over and over again, and everyone was excited They hugged each other, with tears of incomparable excitement flashing in their eyes.

You know, if they can't even develop a 45nm process technology lithography machine, then why should they develop a more advanced EUV lithography machine, catch up with Aspen, and become the No. 1 in the world industry?
If they can't become NO:1 in the global industry, then why should they enjoy the current treatment, which is better than Citigroup?
Although their superficial treatment is not much different from that in Citigroup, their benefits are better than those in Citigroup.

The house is free, and the income is tax-free. The higher the income of Citigroup, the higher the tax you pay. This invisible income gap is huge.

To be worthy of this treatment, of course they have to make some achievements, otherwise the company will not survive, and they have to rethink and go there to find a job with better income than now.

When Ouyang Dehe heard the news on the phone, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

You must know that the funds he invested in Xingguang Technology Company to develop lithography machines and chip manufacturing processes are really too much, and he almost put all his net worth on it.

If one is not careful, not only Xingguang Technology Company will die young, but Ouyang Dehe will also be in danger of bankruptcy. After all, a lot of funds are borrowed from the bank with his assets as collateral.

Although what is produced now is only a lithography machine that meets the 45nm process technology and a chip manufacturing process, it is currently enough for the domestic market and most of the international market. The strength of the market.

As for the EUV lithography machine, although the research will continue, there is no need to be too anxious about the time. It can be put into production, sell the product and make money, and then use it to support the research and development of the EUV engraving machine.

You know, with the advent of the intelligent age, whether it is chip manufacturing or lithography machine manufacturing, both are very profitable industries, and Kerun is also very amazing. Starlight Technology Company can rely on its own ability to provide blood for itself It is not necessary for him to continue to invest.

However, Starlight Technology Co., Ltd. has successfully developed a 45nm process technology lithography machine and trial-produced a 45nm process technology chip. After the news was announced, it not only caused a shock in the country, but even Asiman and Taijidian. Shocked and skeptical, he sent representatives to Shenchuan City in China to verify the authenticity of the news with his own eyes.

The country also sent scientific research personnel to Shenchuan City. Among them, technicians from Huaxin International and Shanghai Microelectronics also arrived in Shenchuan City.

A technology company that has been established for only one and a half years has continuously developed a 45nm process lithography machine and a 45nm process chip. It really subverts everyone's cognition, and everyone is very curious. How did Starlight Technology Company do it?
Representatives of Asman and Taijidian were blocked at the door of Starlight Technology Company, and Starlight Technology Company did not welcome their arrival.

"Let's go in and have a look at your lithography machine. Did you buy our company's lithography machine to pretend it was produced by your company?" The representative of Helan Asman said arrogantly.

"That's right, how could you have mastered the chip technology of the 45nm process technology, wouldn't it be like the Huaxin International Company a few years ago, stealing our patented technology from Taijidian?" Taijidian said. The representative also expressed doubts.

"Whether we have used your patented technology, you can find evidence! If you have real evidence, you can sue our company!" Tan Zhengdao, the manager of the security department of Starlight Company, said very bluntly.

He was ordered to protect the company's security. Before receiving the consent of the company's leaders, all strangers were preventing him from entering the company's R&D center.

As for whether the products developed by the company have used the patents of other companies, Tan Zhengdao does not know. This is not his responsibility. Their duty is only to guard the company's scientific research center and prohibit irrelevant people from entering. .

"You are too barbaric. Call the person in charge of your company. He must give us an explanation and let us go in to understand your products to prove that you have not infringed on our company's patent rights." The representative of Asman Company was very surprised. said angrily.

"We are too barbaric? You are not barbaric, why don't you sell your most advanced lithography machine to our Huaxia company?" Tan Zhengdao said with a sneer.

Tan Zhengdao is in charge of the security work in Starlight Technology Company, and he is naturally very clear about why the company is so desperately developing lithography machines.

It is precisely because Asman Company refuses to sell the most advanced lithography machines to companies in Huaxia, but only sells some outdated and far behind technologies that have been developed by companies in Huaxia. Engraving machines, selling them to Huaxia, and earning a lot of economic benefits from them.

Although Taiji Electric Company is also an enterprise of Huaxia Baodao Province, due to political reasons, China mainland and Baodao have not yet completed the unification.

Without the consent of Citigroup, TJD would not dare to sell a chip product banned by Citigroup to some companies in mainland China.

Therefore, Tan Zhengdao didn't have a good impression of these two companies, and he didn't have much enthusiasm for the representatives of the two companies who came here.

What's more, the representatives of these two companies are still very arrogant, which makes Tan Zhengdao very unhappy.

"It's not that we don't sell products to Huaxia, it's because we can't violate the Wassenaar agreement and sell you the most advanced lithography machines to Huaxia, but the lithography machines with a little backward technology are not sold to you a lot Huaxia?" The representative of Asman said, a little guilty, and his attitude seemed to soften a little.

"And we, Asman, have invested a lot of money and set up several branches in your Huaxia. If we completely refuse to sell all our products to Huaxia enterprises, your China's economic development will only be slower."

At this time, Ouyang Dehe happened to arrive outside the R&D center of Xingguang Technology Company, and found several foreigners who opened the window from the car outside the company, and just heard the words of Asman's representative. .

"So we Huaxia still have to thank you?" Ouyang Dehe did not wait for an interpreter, translated the words of representative Asman, and said directly in his hard-learned English.

The reason why Huaxia is slow in the field of chip development can be said to be largely due to the ban on the sale of advanced lithography machines to Huaxia.

This is the reason why our country has never had high-end chips. It is not because there is a shortage of talents, but because the equipment that can produce high-end chips is not sold to you at all.

Moreover, foreigners are also clever in chips, you can't produce them, right? I can sell some chips to you, but they are only half as expensive as foreign ones, so you can afford them anyway.

If they ban the sale of the chips we urgently need, we will have to withhold them, but if they are only more expensive and sold to you, the will to fight will be broken immediately.

In this way, step by step, we are becoming more and more dependent on chips imported from abroad.

It seems that the Internet is everywhere in our current life, and artificial intelligence is everywhere, but it is actually very fragile.

What we are best at is programming on each chip to realize various functions, but few people have thought about what to do if one day these chips are no longer provided to us abroad.

In fact, Huaxia has long wanted to develop the chip industry and gnaw at the hard bone of lithography machines. It is said that there are no less than four independent research institutions in China, all of which are working on lithography machine technology, and the country has invested hundreds of billions in chips.

But for those foreign companies that have mastered the core technology, they will allow you to export whatever you research.

The products that have just been researched have relatively high manufacturing costs, and they rely on mature product lines to sell them at low prices, reducing your living space.

Without the support of the will of the country, those new technologies that are not profitable or even subsidized will not survive the first year.

It took Huaxia 3000 billion to break out of Huaxia's own LCD industry.

In comparison, China's chip industry has higher technical barriers and is more severely blocked, because it is one of the few profit-making companies in developed countries, and it absolutely does not want to be divided by China's companies.

What's worse is that the resistance does not only come from abroad, because the domestic chip industry has always been not very profitable, and the salaries of finance, software, real estate and other industries are not a bit higher than those of hardware programmers. As a result, many undergraduate and graduate students who study hardware also tend to Changes in other industries, talent shortage, vicious circle.

In this way, China's chip technology is always ten years behind foreign countries.

However, it is not completely hopeless. Even under the heavy pressure of the Wassenaar Agreement, China still has Huaxin International Company, Shanghai Microelectronics Company, chip companies, and lithography equipment companies that have achieved success in new fields. Overtaking on a curve.

But despite this, there is still a lot of gap with foreign advanced technology.
