Rewrite the Technological Landscape

After Meng Qian signed, Guan Xiangwen took out another document, and Sony's representative stepped forward to sign it. The company's first immersion lithography machine will be officially delivered to Sony, and the price of this lithography machine is 60 million Soft sister currency.

After handing over and waiting for the Sony delegation to leave, many people's suppressed emotions began to erupt, and there were enthusiastic cheers at the scene.

Meng Qian walked in front of the big bosses with mixed feelings, "It's been almost three years, and I still feel like a dream."

Everyone was silent, as if no one knew how to respond to Meng Qian first, nor how to respond, until a person standing beside him broke the silence, "It's too difficult!"

Everyone turned their heads to look, and it was Liang Zhiguo who sighed.

Meng Qian smiled and went forward to shake hands with Liang Zhiguo. Liang Zhiguo held Meng Qian's hand and sighed again, "It's really too difficult!"

Liang Zhiguo’s eyes moved Meng Qian, yes, it’s too difficult, maybe this is the truest voice of everyone, “At the beginning, I underestimated the difficulty of the lithography machine, thinking that teachers from several fields could be brought together The lithography machine can be produced, but there are still too many details. Along the way, if more and more teachers did not put down their projects to support, or a team of dozens of teachers used their free time to Help, there is no way our lithography machine will succeed.

As a private company, Shanghai Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. can get such help from everyone. Really, it is beyond words and rewards. Thank you. "

Meng Qian took a step back and bowed to everyone. He really didn't know how to express his gratitude.

Although he knew in his heart that one of the key reasons why everyone was willing to help in this way was the state's stance. In China, only the state could call on such a group of bigwigs, but one of the key reasons why the state was willing to express its stance was that no one else in the country dared to challenge this Therefore, today's achievements cannot be separated from Meng Qian's courage, the first step taken by Meng Qian, and Meng Qian's ability to do his own things well with the support of the state.

But Meng Qian’s boldness is more or less a gamble. If everyone’s selfishness is more serious, if the country’s concern is more, then the optical science and technology project will have died a long time ago, and the kind that can’t be saved with money.

Facts have proved that if Huaxia wants to successfully build a lithography machine at this time, it must devote the elite power of this industry, and there is no choice.

"Having our own lithography machine is the wish of all of us." Wang Dayan stepped forward and helped Meng Qian up, "We also want to thank you for your bravery and persistence. If you hadn't knocked on the Changsha Stock Exchange back then, door, there will be no today.”

"Mr. Wang, don't say that. I am an entrepreneur. I make money from lithography machines. No matter how much I pay, I am not qualified to talk about greatness."

"Then haven't we made money?" Pan Yun also stepped forward, "We are all shareholders."

Faced with everyone's attitudes, Meng Qian stopped being hypocritical and called Guan Xiangwen over, "Director Guan, have all the teachers on the list received their dividend agreements?"

"Mr. Meng, don't worry, I personally delivered them one by one, and they will definitely be delivered."

Meng Qian's so-called dividend agreement was given to people like Wang Dayan. The difficulty of the lithography machine was indeed beyond most people's expectations. Later, many people like Wang Dayan came to support them. Many of them were employees of the original unit. For example, Wang Dayan is a member of Chang Guang Institute in name, so Shanghai Microelectronics Division does not pay him wages, but Chang Guang Institute pays him.

But everyone knew in their hearts that Wang Dayan and the others didn't care about money at all when they came to help. Changguang Institute can't give them much money. Although they are not short of money when they are in their position, Meng Qian should have his own attitude, so Meng Qian gave them a dividend agreement for these people. Although he can't give them shares, but In the future, they will be given a certain percentage of dividends every year. If Shanghai Microelectronics can develop to the level of the later ASML in the future, this dividend will also be a considerable sum.

Of course, at this moment, big red envelopes are indispensable.

Meng Qian invited everyone to the hotel for dinner at noon, and gave everyone a big red envelope.

However, although today is a happy day, everyone still needs to have a sense of crisis.

"Asmail's immersion lithography machine is said to be coming soon." After the meal, the bigwigs who sat at the table with Meng Qian mentioned this matter.

Meng Qian nodded, "As far as the current situation is concerned, it will be a high probability event for ASML to join the United States. If the gap between our products is not big, there will be a confrontation between East and West in the future."

"I heard that Nikon also discussed cooperation with you before. Why did you choose Canon in the end?" Someone raised this critical question.

"If I tell all the teachers that Nikon can break through the current technological limitations through dry technology, would you believe it?"

Many people were surprised, "As expected of Nikon."

Meng Qian continued to explain, "Nikon's cooperation is actually more of a restriction. On the contrary, everyone has seen Canon's recent performance in the cooperation process. Another thing is that Nikon's customers are all in the west, while Canon's customers are all in the west. In the east, those guys in the west had no choice but to choose Nikon."

"Once ASML joins the United States, the first target of the United States is Nikon, and Nikon will inevitably be impacted." Everyone can immediately understand the stakes.

"And all the teachers know that we have a hole card in our hand. Although ASML's research and development capabilities are superior to ours, our research and development time is ahead of them. We have the hole card of core technology patents, but this hole card cannot be too big. Early use, if we cooperate with Nikon, we will be forced to use this hole card, but if we cooperate with Canon, we can lay out the market first, and then use this hole card.”

"It turns out that, if you think about it this way, it is indeed more appropriate to choose Canon than Nikon."

"In fact, there is another reason, that is, whether we should take another step forward in the semiconductor industry in China. Even if our lithography machine can one day develop to the point where Nikon is today, if our country wants to be in the semiconductor field Taking a step forward, if we want to challenge high-end chips, then it is obviously not enough to rely on a lithography machine.

Etching machine, ion implanter, single crystal furnace, wafer dicing machine, wafer thinning machine, vapor phase epitaxy furnace, oxidation furnace, magnetron sputtering table, chemical mechanical grinding machine, wire bonding machine, probe test table , Do we have domestic products? "

Everyone is silent. It can be said that there is nothing in Huaxia now.

"Although Canon still lacks first-line research and development capabilities on these devices, Canon has always maintained research and development."

"Meng Qian, do you want to do all these things?" Someone asked this crucial question.

Meng Qian shook his head without hesitation, "Dafeng Group can't afford so much product research and development, nor does it want to support so much product research and development."

Many people looked at each other subconsciously, and what was written on their expressions was, who will do these things?

For Meng Qian, as he once said, for these core equipment, if no one is willing to do it, then he will do it anyway, because he knows the importance of these things, because he has been determined since his rebirth He has achieved his goal, because he has died once, and he is still cowardly, when no one is willing to stand up, no matter how hard it is, he will rush.

But if someone is willing to do it, then Meng Qian will choose to do it instead of choosing to take it all by himself. Dafeng Group plays the role of a leader in any industry. What Meng Qian hopes to see are more Chinese companies standing up, rather than him doing everything alone.

As for whether anyone is willing to do these things, and who are these people if they are willing, it will have to wait ten days.

On May 23, 2003, a relatively low-key but far-reaching China Semiconductor Industry Conference was held in Shanghai, sponsored by the state.
